A moment of silence on a Gold Coast football pitch last week set off a chain of events involving the Australian Federal Police, a middle-of-the-night phone call between two world leaders, and an extraordinary visa decision… all against the backdrop of an active war. In today’s deep dive, we’re going to explain everything you need to know about the Iranian women’s football team and the Federal Government’s decision to grant players asylum.

Today's headlines include:
Nationals Leader David Littleproud has announced he is quitting as leader of the party, but will still remain in parliament. 
Thousands of Australians have returned home from the Middle East, after the escalating U.S-Iran conflict forced airspaces in the region to shut down last week. 
Kyle Sandilands has broken his silence after broadcaster ARN announced his co-host, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, had quit the duo's longstanding breakfast radio show.
And today’s good news: UK researchers have discovered what may be the world’s oldest known ‘white-out’ style correction fluid on an ancient Egyptian artwork.

In case you missed it, people can no longer watch porn on Pornhub, unless you have an existing account. And if you don’t have an existing account, well, you can’t create one. That’s because of a new code that came into force in Australia yesterday that requires all porn sites to verify the ages of its users. We’ll discuss the new laws and why PornHub has responding by shutting off most access to its website in today’s podcast.
