Iran says these latest attacks are in retaliation for US strikes on an Iranian oil tanker in Kisham Island, which is in the Strait of Hormuz.

The US claims these attacks were what it's called US self-defense strikes.

They've taken place as ceasefire negotiations between the two countries continue to seem to stall.

Yeah, we heard from the Bureau of Stats, which released fresh data showing the Aussie economy is slowing down.

Now, I'm going to spin you through some numbers, so bear with me.

If you look at the quarterly numbers, it grew by 0.3%, which was much less than the 0.9% recorded in the previous one.

Part of the reason for the slowdown is rising fuel costs driven by the war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and it could be a rough ride ahead.

Economists say the full effect of the war hasn't even truly hit yet.

The court rejected that claim and Sikh leaders in the community say the weapon Digwai used was not a kheer pan, which Sikhs are allowed to carry as a ceremonial item.

That's one element of the debate that's going on in the UK at the moment.

The other is how the police handled all of this.

After Digwa was sentenced, body cam footage was released of him falsely telling officers at the scene that he'd been the victim of a racist attack.

It also showed Novak being dismissed and handcuffed by officers after telling them he'd been stabbed and couldn't breathe.

The Solomon Islands PM, who's only actually been in the role for a few weeks, says he wants to, in his words, reset the relationship with Australia.

He's agreed to begin negotiations on a comprehensive strategic treaty.

Now, the Pacific Island nation has been a bit of a point of tension between us and China since it signed a security pact with them back in 2022.

Wai says he's open to reviewing that pact.

He was pretty critical of it back when it was created, but we're no closer to knowing exactly what's in it due to a non-disclosure clause.

Absolutely, Andrew.

He was the male voice of the title track from Beauty and the Beast with Celine Dion, no less.
