It's often said that "when America sneezes, the world catches a cold," and never has that felt more true than now.

We explore why Australians and those around the world are so utterly obsessed with US politics and the actions of President Donald Trump, and whether we can ever truly tune out from the American-ness.

And in headlines today, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is spruiking Australia's world-first social media age ban during a jam-packed final day at the United Nations General Assembly; Australian opposition leader Sussan Ley has been accused of going rogue after it was revealed she had written to US Republicans vowing to reverse Labor’s pledge to support Palestinian statehood; The former CEO of the Wiggles has launched legal action against the company saying he believes he was dismissed without reasonable basis for complaining about blue Wiggle Anthony Field hiring his friends and family; Harry Potter and Little Women star Emma Watson has spoken publicly for the first time since she was banned from driving for 6 months for speeding

Today marks the third major Gender Pay Gap report and for the first time ever, the data includes both the private sector and the Commonwealth public sector.

While the gap is slowly shrinking—men are still more likely to hold top-paying roles.

We sit down with Minister for Finance and Women Katy Gallagher to discuss the silent killers of pay equity and how we get to gender pay parity. 

And in headlines today, 

The US-Israeli war against Iran has expanded with Israel also launching strikes against Lebanon; The federal government’s travel advice service Smart Traveler has told Australian's stuck overseas due to the US/Israel operation in Iran, to sign up to a registration portal to receive updates; One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has been censured by the Senate following her inflammatory remarks against Muslims; A young freshwater crocodile spotted hanging out in a creek behind a Bunnings in Newcastle has been rescued and relocated

The DFAT Crisis registration page for Aussies stuck overseas crisis.dfat.gov.au

Trump Warns Iran To Surrender As 100,000 Aussies Stranded In The Middle East

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/454c7c61-b5f1-4ced-be9d-b400018225ba/transcript

The Middle East has this weekend been reshaped following a massive, coordinated strike by US and Israeli forces; a strike that has killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.

After a year of escalating drone wars and failed nuclear negotiations, President Donald Trump followed through on his promise of "speed and violence," hitting major targets across the country in a co-ordinated attack with Israel. 

But what happens now? Are neighbouring countries safe? And is Iran now free from the current regime? 

And in headlines today, Those with flights to or transiting through the Middle east are being told to monitor flights and stay in touch with airlines; Oodnadatta in the centre of Australia cut off by storms as one life has been lost in the flood water; Michael Jackson's estate is being sued for child sex trafficking; The Matildas have won their Asian Cup opener against Philippines 1-0
