This week, we're starting with the imminent return to Earth for the Artemis 2 crew. Then we're helping you make sense of the US-Iran negotiations — how Israel and Lebanon factor in, and where Australia sits in all of it. We'll look at the economic ripple effects, including what's happening with oil and how we're securing enough of it. And we’ll cover the arrest of former SAS soldier Ben Roberts-Smith, who has been charged with five counts of war crime murder.
