Episode Details

Australia's taking steps to future proof itself from the extremely unlikely possibility the former Prince Andrew could ever become our head of state.

Australia's become the first Commonwealth country to confirm it would change its laws, along with the UK, if it moves to axe Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the royal line of succession.

Anthony Albanese says Australia likes to be first and he'll write to other countries like Canada and New Zealand who are in a similar position.

His move comes after the King's brother was arrested over his ties to the disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Meanwhile the UK's former ambassador to Washington Peter Mandelson has also been arrested over suspicion of misconduct in public office, related to his relationship to Epstein.

Construction of Australia's first high speed rail line could start in a few years as the Commonwealth pledges more than two hundred million dollars to fund the design and scope of a route between Sydney and Newcastle.

Supporters hope it's the beginning of a much larger high-speed rail line along Australia's east coast.

Another US aircraft carrier is getting closer to the Middle East, as fears grow that military action against Iran could be imminent.

It's believed US President Donald Trump is weighing options for a strike, if the regime doesn't curb its nuclear ambitions.

The standoff comes after the Iranian regime's brutal crackdown on mass protests.
