Iran has launched a missile attack on Israel - and warns more is to come. Air raid sirens sounded across Israel with civilians fleeing to bomb shelters, although the air raid warning has now been lifted. There are no reports of injuries in Israel so far.  The Iranian attacks are in response to Israeli troops invading southern Lebanon in what Israle has called a "limited, localised and targeted" ground operation against Hezbollah. This came days after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Kathryn speaks with the BBC's Defence Correspondent, Frank Gardner.

09:15 Climate adaptation report called vague and open to interpretation 

A Parliamentary committee has released its report into climate change adaptation. But some of the committee's own MPs think it is too vague. Parliament's Finance and Expenditure Select Committee tabled its inquiry report yesterday. It sets out some principles for forthcoming legislation the Climate Change minister wants to get cross-party support for. This covers issues from who pays for resilience measures, to buyouts after weather events, to managed retreat from some residential areas. However, the report's preamble states some of the committee's own members believe its recommendations are vague, open to interpretation, in places contradictory, and avoid some of the most challenging questions. National MP Stuart Smith is chair of the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee and talks to Kathryn about the report.

09:25 Tiny home subdivision for elderly hampered by red tape

Age Concern Rotorua has now moved three elderly residents into its tiny home scheme. But the man behind the project says what started out as a possible solution for some Age Concern members struggling with housing, soon became a red-tape nightmare. Age Concern Rotorua manager Rory O'Rourke says the standards needed from council inspections slowed the project and pushed it $75,000  over budget. The project was funded from the sale of a house owned by Age Concern Rotorua - and the half-million dollar proceeds were to fund three tiny homes. So how did this go as a solution to getting affordable housing for the elderly? Rory O'Rourke talks to Kathryn.

09:45 Australia: Online dating code, indigenous interpreters, negative gearing

Australia correspondent Chris Niesche talking about an online dating code that kicked in yesterday that would require dating apps to have systems in place to detect harm incidents and take action against users who violate safety policies. He also looks at why negative equity and capital gains taxes are back on the national agenda, and how a wrongful conviction over the death of a man has sparked concerns over whether indigenous Australians need better access to interpreters.

 Craig Semple spent nearly twenty five years investigating some of the worst crimes imaginable. As a detective sergeant in New South Wales he saw it all: murder, rape, child abuse, fatal car crashes and dozens of suicides. But it took its toll. After eight years of ignoring the warning signs of the stress of the job, his life as he knew it came to a sudden halt. He was medically retired from the force and his marriage ended. Craig told his very personal story in a book called The Cop Who Fell To Earth. Now he's documented his mental health journey in Getting Back Up Again: A plan to get your head in the game. Craig went on to work with Australia's Black Dog Institute and Backup for Life. He's also set up his own company called Mentality Plus, which does workplace mental training and consulting. He describes his new book as a story of post-traumatic growth.

10:45 Around the motu : Peter Newport covering the Queenstown Lakes district

The CEO of the Queenstown Lakes District Council Mike Theelen has just been awarded a 15.5% pay rise to $479,486, which Peter says has produced considerable community backlash given the current rate rises of up to 24%. He also explains why tension between Cromwell and Alexandra have ramped up, and why concern about the Dunedin Hospital crisis has prompted a large protest in Wānaka.

11:20 All Black history : The Invincibles

We rewind 100 years of sporting history to look at the All Black team that blitzed its rivals. Historian, Dr Jock Phillips has spent a career uncovering and documenting Aotearoa New Zealand's past, and is the author of 15 books. Today he's taking us back to 1924 - to the team which attracted the name, The Invincibles.

This card was produced to commemorate the 1905 ‘Originals’ ruby tour. A later world tour by the All Blacks in 1924-1925 would earn them the title of ‘Invincibles’. From the collection of Leo Haks Photo:
