This morning, with negotiations continuing to stall and his own deadline for ending the war approaching, US President Donald Trump threatened civilisational destruction on Iran if they did not concede to the US demands. Whether a sincere threat or an act of brinkmanship may remain unclear, as just before Trump’s deadline, Trump claimed a two week ceasefire had been agreed to.

Last week, the Green Party released their housing policy - a home for everyone. It takes a welfare-based approach, pitching rent controls, reversing tax breaks on the bright line test, and a public housing building program.

For our weekly catch-up with the Green Party’s Ricardo Menéndez March, Wire host Manny asked about the gravity of Trump's threats on Iran, but began with the Greens' housing platform.

Four NASA astronauts aboard an Orion spacecraft are currently on their return trip to planet Earth, having just conducted a successful flyby mission to the moon. The mission brought humans within the vicinity of the moon for the first time in over fifty years, and when the four astronauts passed behind its far side, they set the record for the furthest distance that any human has ever travelled away from Earth.

The test mission is paving the way for a manned landing on the lunar surface, currently scheduled for 2028, and eventually, a permanent lunar base.

Producer Toby spoke to Josh Aoraki, resident astronomer at Auckland’s Stardome Observatory, about the past, present, and future of lunar exploration.

Last week, Fonterra admitted that the claim that its Anchor butter came from “100% New Zealand Grass-Fed” cows was false and contravened the Fair Trade Act 1986. Greenpeace, which was behind the lawsuit, argued that cows were being fed palm kernels imported from South East Asia, and that therefore this label was misleading to the New Zealand public. 

Wire producer Liam spoke to Sinéad Deighton-O’Flynn, agricultural campaigner at Greenpeace Aotearoa, about 'greenwashing' in New Zealand and the impact that this decision will have on the New Zealand dairy industry.
