Just before 1 o’clock on Wednesday morning, West Australian police broke into a locked house in the coastal town of Carnarvon to find missing four-year-old Cleo Smith.

It was a remarkable, happy ending to the search for the young girl, after she disappeared from the family’s tent during a trip to the popular blowholes campsite north of Carnarvon more than two weeks ago.

Today on Please Explain, WAToday reporter Peter De Kruijff joins Rachel Clun to discuss the twists and turns of this case.

As global outcry continues for the war in Gaza to end, after more than seven months, Hamas and Israel have reached an impasse. Recent ceasefire talks failed. And both sides are struggling.

Much of Hamas’ fighting forces have been killed. And Israel’s main ally, the United States, just made the remarkable step of beginning to limit its supply of arms to the country. So, where to from here?

Today, international and political editor Peter Hartcher on how this war can end, when both sides now know that it’s unwinnable.

So, did treasurer Jim Chalmers nail his brief? And what are the government’s priorities? Is it women, those suffering amid the housing shortage, and students with debt, as it had previously promised, among others? And who’s been left in the cold?

Tonight in a special episode recorded in the lock-up in parliament house, senior economics correspondent Shane Wright on the main winners and losers of this year’s budget. And if this budget is really an early election pitch for the Albanese government.
