A development in the Middle East, with US President Donald Trump turning on a key US ally. 

He’s threatened to bomb Oman if it interferes in the Strait of Hormuz. 

It’s all while a 60-day ceasefire with Iran expires – and officials say that there’s been very little diplomatic progress to reopen the key waterway. 

So, why is Trump lashing out at a key ally? What does this latest stalemate mean for the rest of us? And at this point, what is and should be the US’ main priority? 

Today on The Front Page, University of Waikato international law professor Al Gillespie is with us to break it all down.

Kiwis are constantly wondering why their groceries are so expensive. 

The Green Party is the latest to promise a fix in the way of a members bill aimed at banning price gouging by the supermarket duopoly, which has a whopping 82% market share. 

New rules would aim to prohibit supermarkets from charging prices that are excessive when compared to the cost of supplying groceries. 

Breaches could see a company fined up to $10 million or 10% of turnover. 

But, what constitutes “excessive”? And how would it be policed? 

Today on The Front Page, Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick is with us to tell us how it would work.

The Government's working through merger proposals from councils around the country. 

City and district councils were given until this week to pitch plans to create larger unitary councils, to replace existing local and regional councils. 

Approved plans are due to be signed off next year and take effect after local elections in 2028.

Today on The Front Page, Gisborne Mayor and Local Government New Zealand president Rehette Stoltz is with us to breakdown what it all means and what could happen next.
