It’s Friday, so we’re wrapping up the week with a look at the stories making us smile.

First, there’s a big win for parents as flu season approaches: a new needle-free ‘FluMist’ nasal spray is now available for kids and teens. We check in on which states are offering it for free to help keep the family healthy this winter.

Then, we dive into the ‘viral’ moment that had the McDonald’s CEO’s own kids calling him out for his burger-tasting technique.

Plus, we celebrate some truly legendary longevity as we clear up the headlines surrounding Jonathan, the world’s oldest tortoise.

🗞️ HEADLINES
Brittany Higgins has welcomed the High Court's decision to dismiss Bruce Lehrmann's appeal
Israel has agreed to hold peace talks with Lebanon
Melania Trump has addressed the press to deny any links to convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
Stranger Things star Sadie Sink says social media is dangerous, deleting Instagram

HEADLINES: The Housemaid Author Reveals Her Identity & The PM Secures More Fuel

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/f6a677fb-c789-4a84-a53b-b427000876d3/transcript

The conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has brought global supply chains to their knees, but a sudden 11th-hour deal has secured a two-week ceasefire. As the Strait of Hormuz conditionally reopens, we look at the flow-on effects that have hit us at the local servo and the checkout.

Plus, with the US President making some of his most alarming threats to date, including the warning that an 'entire civilisation' could be at risk, we ask if this is just internet bravado or a genuine threat of war crimes.

Amelia Lester joins us to unpack the ten-point peace plan, if the ceasefire will hold and why Trump is now staring down the barrel of impeachment.

🗞️ HEADLINES
Less than 24 hours into the US/Iran ceasefire Israel launched a massive attack on Lebanon
Jackie O court documents show she complained about 2 other run ins with Sandilands to her bosses
Vaccine fatigue and a new strain is putting Aussies at risk this flu season
Vogue releases hilarious video of Meryl Streep and Anna Wintour in a lift together
