Show Notes

Australia’s involvement in the Middle East conflict has suddenly become visible on our own shores.

While the government deploys aircraft and missiles to the UAE, a group of Iranian female footballers has been granted asylum after being branded traitors by their own regime.

We speak with Dr. Jessica Genauer to unpack the latest on the conflict.

And in headlines today, Kyle & Jackie O are reportedly moving to get their show back on the air; The mother of an Iranian player who chose to return to Oran sent a voice note telling her to stay in Australia; Iran's military says the world should prepare for oil to hit $US200 a barrel; Nicole Kidman has spoken publicly about her divorce from Keith Urban for the first time
