The US and Israel are escalating attacks on Iran - which has launched counterattacks on neighbouring Gulf states.

All the while, the push and pull on European leaders has been in the spotlight – with Trump publicly chastising UK PM Sir Keir Starmer.

That’s due to his refusal to offer up a British base for the initial wave of strikes.

Britain is scrambling to send a warship to Cyprus after France announced a major deployment to the eastern Mediterranean.

So, with the involvement of EU countries, is it only a matter of time before the Pacific is called up to help?

Today on The Front Page, University of Otago international relations professor Robert Patman is with us to dissect what could happen next.

Savea's wake-up call to NZ rugby and the All Blacks

The financial year is coming to an end. 

It means we’ll see a whole bunch of policies and adjustments from April 1.  

Everything from crayfish catch limits and Pharmac funding to changes to the Living and Minimum wages. 

Super annuitants, working families, students and beneficiaries are among those who will receive additional support. 

On the law-and-order front, the government’s crackdown on drug drivers is set to ramp up.

And power bills are expected to increase, after the Commerce Commission agreed to let local lines companies, and Transport, charge households and businesses more a couple years ago.

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald business editor at large, Liam Dann, is with us to break down what changes are in the works, and what it might mean for you – and our economy.

With the word ‘crisis’ now comes talk about working from home.

As oil prices rise and the cost of petrol surges towards $4 a litre, it’s been flagged as a potential voluntary measure in contingency plans.

There’s been no direct government endorsement or mandate for working from home, but it’s been recognised as a possible fuel-saving step if the crisis worsens, alongside prioritising essential sectors.

Today on The Front Page, University of Otago business school associate professor Paula O’Kane is with us to take us through different ways of working, and what businesses could do to help out their employees.
