A US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is already on the rocks. 

Hezbollah is rejecting terms, calling them "futile" and "humiliating". 

The armed militant group says the proposal is tantamount to surrender as Israeli strikes continue in southern Lebanon. 

The comments come after Israel and Lebanon announced a renewal of their fragile deal. 

Former US Army Major General Randy Manner told Heather du Plessis-Allan ceasefires haven't been holding, but even an attempt needs Hezbollah's backing. 

He says any two-way agreement that doesn't include the powerful third party isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

The business of sports betting and prediction markets is continuing to grow. 

LeBron James is the latest major name to land a deal in the industry, signing a $15 million a year endorsement deal with Polymarket - nearly four times his NBA salary this season.  

But the fast growth of the sector and ability to bet on anything is sparking some concerns. 

American Institute for Boys and Men Gambling Policy Lead Jonathan D. Cohen argues that prediction markets may be more dangerous than traditional gambling platforms in some respects, as they blur the line between gambling and investing in some countries. 

He told Mike Hosking a 19-year-old who's starting to build wealth could easily delude themselves into thinking it's a wise financial decision, and that's really dangerous for the long-term financial well-being of young people.
