The sun's rising in the Middle East - on an uncertain kind of ceasefire between Iran and Israel.

Iran State Television has claimed a ceasefire now applies - although Israel's made no official comment yet.

Earlier today, US President Donald Trump announced hostilities would pause between Israel and Iran, saying they want peace.

Geopolitical analyst Geoffrey Miller says a very strange, staggered ceasefire reportedly applies.

"There's now, according to Donald Trump, you've got a 12-hour window until 4am NZT tomorrow in which Israel will be allowed to strike Iran - but Iran will not be able to strike back."

Iran retaliated overnight to US strikes on its nuclear sites - with its attacks intercepted.

After a tough year for KMD Brands, the company's luck is turning around on the share market.

The company behind Kathmandu and Rip Curl saw its share price go up by 17 percent, largely driven by Australian entrepreneur Josh Rudd buying 6 percent shareholding.

Milford Asset Management expert Jeremy Hutton outlined what this could mean for the company - and whether a full takeover is possible.

Tonight on The Huddle, Tim Wilson from the Maxim Institute and former broadcaster Mark Sainsbury joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! 

The Government has confirmed they'll be cutting some of the red tape around the hospitality sector - a move that's been welcomed by industry experts. Do we think this is a good idea - or could this cause extra harm?

At least 10,000 public service workers have downed tools and gone on strike after months of failed negotiations. What do we make of this, is serious change needed? What could this Government do for the public service? 

Labour is looking to introduce tougher regulations on AI if they get elected - do we need this kind of oversight?
