The United States’ pre-emptive bombing of Iranian nuclear sites marks a perilous new chapter, not only for the Middle East but for the entire global order. President Trump declared the mission a “spectacular success” after B-2 bombers left Missouri in the United States and travelled over 30 hours to destroy nuclear facilities in Iran.

When men first turn up to an ‘entree’ event run by The Men’s Table, it’s made explicit that this is a place where you can have a real conversation. It’s an assurance that isn’t usually offered in spaces where men gather, but it’s a key action The Men’s Table takes to support men in having open conversations and developing meaningful social connections. “We’ll talk about what’s really going on, highs and lows,” David Pointon, co-founder and CEO of The Men’s Table tells Women’s Agenda.

Meanwhile, Australians are losing trust in the news, with just 43 per cent of Australians saying they trust it.
