Middle East correspondent Gregg Carlstrom told Ryan Bridge Israel has been planning this war for years, and isn't willing to stop after a few days.

Smokefree advocates are hoping a new vaping crackdown coming in today, doesn't deter smokers trying to quit.

The new rules include stricter advertising restrictions for vape retailers and a ban on disposable vapes.

It's an effort to clamp down on youth vaping, with around 10 percent of teenagers currently regular vapers.

Action for Smokefree Director Ben Youdan told Ryan Bridge it's about striking the right balance.

He says just leaving products cheaper than smoking but not too cheap for young people, is important.

If growth is the game we're in then the Reserve Bank should keep cutting interest rates.

The problem growth is not the game their in.

They're in the business of taming inflation - and that's about it.

The government ditched the dual mandate - introduced by the last lot - that saw Adrian and co. also focus on keeping people in jobs.

Maximum sustainable employment.

That's now gone and inflation's in the band.

So the bank is going to take things slow. Ease the next few cuts over a longer period of time out of fear they'll overcook it again.

They'll be thinking about Trump's tariffs and the fear of price hikes - even though these haven't materialised - even in the data out of the States - as yet.

They'll be worried about the Middle East and the price of oil.

It's an imported cost and it's in everything - not just our cars, but transport of goods, production... you name.

Directly and indirectly is contributes up to 30% of our inflation when the price is high - like when somebody's dropping bombs in the Middle East.

But that wouldn't be my main concern if I was setting monetary policy.

Sure we'll get a solid growth number of around 0.7% for Q1 on Thursday.... but there've been a couple of signs this week of things being a bit shaky in Q2 - the one we're in now.

Yesterday it was Mayday call from the services sector - going backwards for the month, again. This time, a bigger drop than last. And again, way out of whack with our trading partners.

Our golden dairy run will continue but there are signs production will be up this year nb last which could affect price.

Cutting rates sooner and faster would help avoid any surgical complications as we revive the economy - which as been a very sick patient for a very long time.

More nations are responding to the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.

The two countries are continuing to exchange air assaults, after Israel's initial attack on Friday and Iran launched waves of missiles, in response.

UK and Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge Iran believes any support of Israel from the West, makes assets from those countries fair game.

He says Britons are being advised against travelling to Israel, as the UK says it's unable to keep them safe in this fast-moving situation.
