    Is the Red Sea the world's next major trade chokepoint?

    The Iranian military has threatened shipping in the Gulf, Red Sea, and the Gulf of Oman if the US naval blockade continues. The threats made by general Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi were apparently aired on Iranian state television. Meanwhile, talks could resume as early as this week with NBC news reporting Trump has said the war was “very close to over” while Tehran has said messages were still being exchanged via Pakistan.  Trump has also claimed that China is “very happy” about the situation – that was after Beijing labelled the US blockade “dangerous.”  He also said that President Xi Jinping had agreed not to send weapons to Iran. Today on The Front Page, University of Otago international relations professor Robert Patman is with us.

    Susan St John: Auckland University Associate Economics Professor on Jobseeker numbers

    A lift in beneficiaries could suggest recent policy decisions are taking us in the wrong direction.  At the end of March, just over 409-thousand people were on a main benefit, almost three percent more than the year prior. Jobseeker numbers are up 2.6 percent. Auckland University Associate Economics Professor Susan St John told Ryan Bridge many of the ways we've tried to bring down spending have impacted the labour market. She says until we can recognise, we're in a deep recession it's going to get worse, and we need the Government to step up, otherwise we're stuffed.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
