Weekly Wrap: What happens now for the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, drama around Mt Everest, and checking in on a silly sausage (dog)
There was a big breakthrough this week with Israel and Hamas agreeing to phase one of a ceasefire deal in Gaza. There’s a lot to unfold from here so we get you across that and US President Donald Trump’s victory lap. Then we get into new details on the Optus triple-0 outage and what it means for the upcoming bushfire season, and efforts to save climbers around Mt Everest this week. We also check in with Valerie, the Kangaroo Island escape artist, and a Vanity Fair subscription offer worthy of your consideration.
Our segment on What’s Coming Up for the week ahead is now its own episode - it will be out tomorrow morning for your podcasting/organisational pleasure.
