Bongani Bingwa is joined by Vicki Turner to unpack major global stories making headlines. The discussion begins with the aftermath of one of the most intense days of US strikes on Iran, with Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth saying the United States is “winning” its campaign, while decisions about the conflict’s duration rest with President Donald Trump. The conversation also looks at reports that more members of the Iran women's national football team have been granted asylum in Australia after refusing to sing their national anthem before a match against South Korea women's national football team during the Asia Cup. Finally, the team reflects on Italy’s decision to spend €30 million to acquire a rare portrait by Baroque master Caravaggio, depicting Maffeo Barberini, as part of efforts to protect the country’s cultural heritage.
