News Club

We’re getting you across some of the big themes from the war in the Middle East this week, including the Iranian women’s football team being granted asylum, and the surging price of oil. Also, the National Party has a new leader, which came as a surprise. And Timothée Chalamet’s got everyone talking about ballet and opera.
