Donald Trump has backed down again on threats towards Iran.

In a social media post, the President said he has agreed “to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks” and that this “will be a double-sided ceasefire”.

It’s after Iranians formed human chains along bridges and around power plants after Trump vowed that “a whole civilisation will die tonight”.

On the other hand, Iran has claimed victory, saying it forced the US to accept its 10-point plan.

All the while, our Foreign Minister Winston Peters has met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, coming out of it saying he is “very hopeful for the future”.

Today on The Front Page, University of Otago Peace Studies professor Richard Jackson is with us to take us through the latest, and what could happen next.

It’s 208 days until Kiwis hit the polls and vote for the next Government.

And despite campaigning not officially starting, the Prime Minister’s performance has been called into question, time and time again.

Accusations range from Luxon leaning too much into corporate speak and acting like a CEO to dodging questions, and even dodging entire press conferences during a global fuel crisis to open a stadium.

With flubbed media interviews going viral, Christopher Luxon’s behaviour is being put under a microscope. So much so that there are whisperings of a coup. 

Can one man’s public image impact an entire party? And who’s been sent in to help National months ahead of election day?  

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald Editor-at-Large, and Media Insider, Shayne Currie is with us to break down Luxon’s trials and tribulations, and how he might turn them around.

There are more than 70 Kiwis banged up abroad, according to new data.

But, the true figure is likely higher, with many detainees choosing not to tell the New Zealand government they’ve been arrested.

They’re detained across dozens of countries, from the US and Australia to parts of Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

NZ Herald senior journalist Anna Leask has been looking into New Zealanders locked up overseas, she joins us today on The Front Page.

Cyclone Vaianu is currently tracking toward the top of the North Island with forecasters warning it could make landfall between Auckland and the Coromandel this weekend. 

Heavy rain, high winds and coastal surges are all in play, with officials stating it could be a potentially life-threatening weather event.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has recommended people stock up and get their supplies in order.

Today on The Front Page, meteorologist for Earth Sciences NZ, Chester Lampkin is with us to give us an idea on just how bad things could get and how prepared we should be.
