    Trump Claims Strait Is 'Open' & White Lotus 4 Is Heading To Cannes Film Festival

    It has been seven weeks since the war involving the US, Israel, and Iran began, and while a fragile two-week ceasefire is currently in place, the world is holding its breath. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump threw a spanner in the works by announcing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical energy corridor, after initial peace talks in Pakistan reached an impasse over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.  Today, we're unpacking what this escalation means for your bottom line. With global oil prices surging, Australian airlines have already begun hiking fares and cutting domestic flight capacity to manage soaring fuel bills. Plus, we examine a historic breakthrough as Israel and Lebanon agree to their first direct negotiations in over 30 years. Director of Research from the United States Studies Centre, Jared Mondschein, joins us to discuss whether these high-stakes diplomatic moves will lead to lasting stability or a global recession. 🗞️ HEADLINES Ceasefire between Israel & Lebanon could be on the horizon Trump claims Strait of Hormuz open New job figures expected to be early indication of Australia's economic health during war  Harry & Meghan's tour down under continues for third day with speaking engagements, charity events and cultural walk Cannes Film Festival confirmed to be part of storyline in The White Lotus season 4 as filming commences   📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?

    Harry & Meghan’s Not-So-Royal Aussie Tour Explained

    Eight years ago, they were the world’s most famous newlyweds visiting our shores as senior working royals. This week, Harry and Meghan have touched down in Australia for a four-day visit that looks very different. From charitable engagements to a high-priced wellness retreat; the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are walking a fine line between charity and commerce. But with reports that Aussie taxpayers are footing a hefty security bill despite the trip being 'private', is the public sentiment starting to sour? We're joined by Mamamia Out Loud host and royal expert Holly Wainwright to decode the 'quasi-royal' tour, the impending arrival of Meghan’s lifestyle brand As Ever, and whether Australians actually care about the ex-royals anymore. 🗞️ HEADLINES Israel and Lebanon have held first face-to-face peace talks since 1993  Australian rents are rising at their fastest pace in years, with prices jumping 2.1% in 2026 A 4.5-magnitude earthquake struck near Orange in central-west NSW Walt Disney’s new CEO, Josh D'Amaro, has announced he is cutting about 1,000 jobs Taylor Swift is set to break her own record at the 2026 American Music Awards  📩 GET IN TOUCH Got a story, news tip-off, feedback or dilemma?
