New Zealand Rugby's global search for a new chief executive has led them back to their own offices. 

Steve Lancaster has been confirmed as the new boss of NZR. 

The former Crusader has been serving as the interim CEO for the last six months, having stepped up from his role as general manager of community rugby.  

Chairman David Kirk told Mike Hosking that originally they didn’t have a strong understanding of the executive talent, so they thought they had to go global to find a new CEO. 

However, he says, when Lancaster was executing the interim role, it became more obvious to them that he was highly capable in a broader role than they had suspected.

Chaotic scenes in Australia as three women linked to Islamic State return home to face crimes against humanity and terror charges. 

The women travelled with their partners to the Middle East more than a decade ago, and they say they wanted to come home for their Australian children. 

They may face court as early as today. 

Australian Correspondent Murray Olds told Mike Hosking a scuffle broke out at Melbourne Airport last night involving men wearing masks waiting for the women. 

He says their children face a tough time readjusting, as they will have seen things no child should ever see.

Iran's expected to respond to the US's proposal to end the conflict sometime today.  

Yesterday, Axios reported a one-page 14-point memorandum of understanding was being discussed to formally end the war.  

The memo aims to set up negotiations for limiting Iran's nuclear capabilities, releasing billions-of-dollars in frozen assets, and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. 

US Correspondent Simon Marks told Mike Hosking the reported content of the memo sounds very similar to the previous deal with Iran that was criticised by Donald Trump. 

In the meantime, the US has confirmed it has struck Iranian targets. 

US Central Command saying its forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks which included missiles, drones and small boats. 

It says it responded with defence strikes against the inbound threats and targeted missile and drone launch sites, along with command and control locations. 

Iran is accusing the US of violating the ceasefire and targeting an Iranian oil tanker moving through the Strait of Hormuz.   

Its state broadcaster reports aerial attacks were carried out along the coast and Iran immediately responded by attacking US military vessels.
