Recently Israelis took to the streets of Tel Aviv demanding their government stop the military expansion in Gaza and bring the hostages home; signalling a major turning point from within the country.

Plus, happy Equal Pay Day... the day that marks when women have finally earned what men already took home by June 30.

And in headlines today, Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskiy and US President Donald Trump have expressed hope their White House meeting could lead to trilateral talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring an end to Moscow's war on Ukraine; Hamas has accepted the latest proposal for a 60-day ceasefire with Israel that includes the return of half the hostages the group holds in Gaza and Israel's release of some Palestinian prisoners; Israel's foreign affairs minister says the visas of Australia's representatives to the Palestinian Authority have been revoked over Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state and for refusing entry to Israeli figures; The son of Norway's crown princess has been charged with rape, domestic violence, assault and other crimes following a year-long police investigation; A lioness rescued from Ukraine is thriving and has fallen in love, a year after being evacuated to the UK
