Euro Watch: Putin tells BRICS summit Dollar’s domination of world trade will end

Iran’s confrontation with Israel and the United States has escalated into one of the most dangerous crises the Middle East has seen in decades.

A joint U.S.-Israeli military campaign aimed at crippling Tehran’s leadership has triggered retaliatory strikes across the region from missile barrages on Israeli cities to attacks on Gulf states.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Dr Leon Goldsmith, Honorary Senior Lecturer in Middle East Politics at the University of Otago, to examine how this conflict reached this point, what the death of Iran’s supreme leader means for Tehran’s next moves, and whether diplomacy is still possible.

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Priyanka Sachdeva, Senior Market Analyst, Phillip Nova, to find out more.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh dive into the biggest buzz online, from Singapore’s move to regulate trading card booster packs under new blind box rules, to the growing debate over chance-based collectibles, rare card hype, and whether nostalgia is turning into speculation.

Then, we shift gears to tech with Samsung’s latest privacy screen feature that blocks side-angle peeks and even auto-detects when someone is trying to look at your display.
