About this episode

The episode discusses the rise in oil prices and recent geopolitical tensions involving Iran, alongside a report on a warning about a terrorist attack prior to a mass shooting in Australia.

Following reports that President Trump is to be briefed on new plans for further strikes on Iran, Brent crude reached more than $126 a barrel. Also in the programme, an Australian inquiry has said a Jewish group warned of a 'terrorist attack' before last year's antisemitic mass shooting at Bondi Beach, and how barbaric were the Barbarians?
