As the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran intensifies and President Trump’s bombing deadline looms, we are breaking down exactly how a war on the other side of the world is hitting you right here at home. 

First, we sit down with international relations expert Dr Jessica Genauer to examine the 'complete demolition' threats, alleged war crimes, and whether a ceasefire is even on the table. 

Then, we investigate the fuel crisis. With service stations running dry and the government slashing the fuel excise, we ask the NRMA’s Peter Khoury why prices aren't dropping faster.

Plus, as Aussies flock to public transport to save their hip pockets, Professor Graham Currie explains if our trains and buses can actually handle the surge in demand and whether free fares are a long-term solution or just a temporary fix. 

🗞️ HEADLINES

• Ben Roberts-Smith will front a bail court today after spending his first night in jail charged with war crimes
• Nationals leader Matt Canavan will address the National Press Club today outlining his "hyper Australia," economic vision
• Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approaches, the White House saying only he knows what he will do
• Kayne West's visa to perform in the UK has been revoked

The very last time Samantha Murphy’s family can verify she was alive was around 7am on the morning of February 4, 2024.

There’s an image from a CCTV camera that police released of the 51-year-old, in the activewear she would usually put on ahead of her run. But while that image might be the last time we were able to confirm that she was okay, it’s allegedly not the last time she was seen.

Tomorrow, the trial begins for the man accused of murdering Samantha Murphy. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.

They started as a treatment for diabetes, but GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have quickly become the most talked-about drugs in modern medicine.

With two-thirds of Australians now living with obesity, the shift from lifestyle-only messaging to pharmaceutical solutions is accelerating, but is it just a new form of diet culture, or a genuine medical breakthrough?

Today, we get rare access to one of the original pioneers of the science. Professor Lotte Bjerre Knudsen, Chief Scientific Advisor at Novo Nordisk, joins us to answer your questions. 

Plus, Lotte addresses the headlines regarding side effects and why the FDA recently removed a major warning from the label.

If you could press play on Australia, what would you hear?

This week, the National Film and Sound Archive has added nine more iconic sounds to its permanent collection, and they range from the deeply moving to the flat-out hilarious.

We’re unpacking the 2026 inductees, including the viral 'succulent Chinese meal' arrest, Missy Higgins’ breakout hit ‘Scar’, and the pedestrian crossing 'beep' that ended up in a Billie Eilish song.

Plus, we look back at the powerful 2015 Australian of the Year speech by Rosie Batty and the jingle that ensured no Aussie would ever forget the number 1300 655 506.

Claire Murphy joins us to travel through the sonic history of the country and find out what really makes a sound 'quintessentially Australian'.

🗞️ HEADLINES

• An inquest will reconstruct the final moment of fugitive Dezi Freeman's life
• Fuel prices may not drop before the Easter long weekend
• A giant Trans flag has been unfurled in Brisbane to protest state government restrictions to gender affirming health care
• Tiger Woods told police he was looking at his phone prior to Friday's crash
