Tensions in the Middle East continue to rise at an alarming rate.

Another ceasefire attempt between Israel and Hamas has failed; university campuses around the world have become grounds for protests related to the war; and the U.S. government has issued strong criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's approach in the southern Palestinian city of Rafah.

Is Israel isolating itself further?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Dr Lincoln Mitchell, Professor, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, shares his insights.

A diner was upset after spotting a 10-cent BCRS deposit on his $112.55 restaurant bill. But is it fair for eateries to pass the charge on to customers, or are we really getting worked up over 10 cents? Maybe it’s not about the money at all, but the principle.

STOMP'S Maureen Ow also known as famous food blogger Miss Tam Chiak joins the conversation.

The first few dates are all about making a good impression. So if someone suggests meeting over chicken rice instead of cocktails, is that refreshingly down-to-earth or a sign they're not making much of an effort? We ask where you stand.
