Parents, researchers and school staff are calling on the ACT government to reduce the speed limit in school zones to 30kph.

Dr James Thompson is a road safety expert based at the Centre for Automotive Safety Research.

He said reducing everyone's speed was crucial, and that 30kph was the tipping point.

"If you're a pedestrian … hit by a vehicle at 30 kilometres per hour or greater, you're at a very high risk of being seriously or fatally injured."

"But if you're hit under 30 kilometres, you have a pretty good chance of surviving."

Rabobank's global strategist has described the ramping up of attacks between Israel and Iran as "the final event" between the two countries.

Michael Every says the conflict between the nations is "no longer theatre, no longer a signalling mechanism", but rather an "attempt by Israel to take out Iran's nuclear program and potentially remove the regime entirely, or at least weaken it to the point where it falls."

However, Mr Every says the global impact of Israel's attacks on Iran have been minimal in terms of its exports so far - mainly because of sanctions targeting oil sales. But the domestic impacts have been significant. He says oil refineries and a gas field in Iran have been hit by missiles, and there are anecdotal reports that petrol has already run out in the capital, Tehran.

He says the biggest risk is that if the conflict goes so far that the Iranian regime weakens to the point where it will decide to mine the Strait of Hormuz, or even threaten to mine it, which could have massive implications for traffic through the small gateway. It's a potential move Mr Every says Iran could take if it decides "if I'm going down, you're coming with me."

Mr Every says the conflict is now existential for both sides, in that Israel have "openly said that they cannot allow the regime (Iran) to remain in place and develop a nuclear weapon, and it's existential for Iran, because if they feel they're going to fall, that's the end of the revolution." and it's likely to be prolonged.

Israel says Tehran will "pay the price and soon" after Iranian missiles struck the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa, killing at least eight. That's brought the death toll to more than 20 - while Iranian authorities have said well over 200 people were killed in three days of Israeli attacks. As Israel accuses Tehran of pursuing nuclear weapons, Iran's foreign ministry now says it's looking at leaving the nuclear non-proliferation treaty... Which could end its cooperation with the UN's nuclear watchdog altogether. Dr Hussein Ibish from the Arab Gulf States Institute told The World's Girish Sawlani the Netanyahu government is trying to deliver a "knock-out blow" to the Iranian regime. #ABCTheWorld #ABCAsiaPacific

Indian investigators have found the second black box from Thursday's plane crash in the city of Ahmedabad as the death toll rose to 270. It's hoped the cockpit voice recorder will provide vital clues about the final moments of the London-bound Air India 7-8-7 Dreamliner before impact. Dr Sonya Brown, UNSW senior lecturer in aerospace design told The World's Girish Sawlani nothing can be ruled out at this stage.

It comes as the explosion of hostilities between Iran and Israel looks set to dominate the agenda at the G7 summit in Canada. University College Dublin professor of international politics Scott Lucas joined The World from Wicklow.

Kashmir is beginning to reopen to tourists after a deadly terrorist attack in April left dozens of visitors dead and saw thousands cancel their planned visits to the scenic destination for fear of their safety. The incident triggered hostilities between nuclear armed rivals India and Pakistan and saw tensions flare up once more in the region that has seen relative calm over previous years turn it into a booming tourist hotspot. Amelia Costigan reports on Kashmir's bid to lure tourists back.
