Tour Guide in Israel reflects on daily routine during Iranian missile strikes
Freelance Tour guide Roley Horowitz sheds light on what it's like to be living in Israel amid the Iranian missile strikes.
'This morning there was an alarm at about 7 o'clock, which is a little bit unusual because it's usually at 4 in the morning,' Ms Horowitz told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
'We get a few alarms, we get the first alarm telling us to be ready, and then the second one that it's going to be in our neighbourhood, and then the third one's when the sirens actually go off all over the city, and then we go down to our shelters.'

Prime Minister plans more overseas trips for 2025
Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell discusses an increase in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's overseas trips for the remainder of 2025. "Sky News can reveal this morning that the prime minister is planning to attend more than half a dozen overseas trips or summits by the end of the year," Mr Clennell said. "The PM sees all of these trips as in Australia's national interest - at a time when there is so much upheaval in the world, with a war in the Middle East and one in Ukraine. For example, the G7 was an opportunity to talk about purchasing frigates from both the German and Japanese leaders."

Qatar Airways partners with Virgin Australia, directly competes with Qantas
Sky News host Ross Greenwood discusses Qatar Airways' 25 per cent ownership in Virgin Australia, claiming Qantas will now have more international competition after the Australian Government 'knocked back' Qatar Airways in the past. 'Qatar, you know, sort of, is obviously, been this week named as the best airline in the world,' Mr Greenwood told Sky News host Steve Price. 'The key for that is really that they own now 25 per cent of Virgin – Virgin is about to list on the Australian Stock Exchange, or re-list after it had previously gone broke. 'Given the fact that in the past, Qatar has really tried to get more flights into Australia, been knocked back by the Australian Government, and whether this tie-up now really does mean it's going to create more international competition for Qantas.'

Sky News host Rowan Dean joins as a guest on his own show while stranded in Bali following volcano eruption
Sky News host Rowan Dean has been left stranded in Bali after a volcano erupted in Indonesia earlier in the week. Dean joined his own program on Friday as a guest from the airport as he was unable to fulfil his regular hosting duties with the volcano keeping him grounded at the popular holiday location. He was set to fly out of Bali on Wednesday after a trip but his flight was cancelled due to the volcanic eruption, leaving himself and many other Australians stranded. Rowan Dean joined fill-in host James Macpherson from Bali for Sky News Australia's program The World According to Rowan Dean. The latest episode is available to watch now, and new episodes are out every Friday, for subscribers. "I'm very, very honoured to be there on my own show with you. So thank you James. I'm in Bali because of another explosion. You've just shown the rocket exploding SpaceX. There may be a big explosion due for Iran any day now. But this particular explosion was a volcano, the Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano I believe it's called," Dean said. "It decided to blow up just as we were about to board the plane a couple of nights ago. And sending all its muck up into the air there. And because of that, all the flights, I think some several thousand, 14,000 people stranded, as it were, in Bali." A volcanic eruption in Indonesia sent ashes spiralling into the sky on Tuesday night, causing mayhem for Aussies looking to head to and from Bali. Several flights to the Indonesian resort island of Bali were cancelled and the airport in Maumere in East Nusa Tenggara province was closed due to the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki, officials said on Wednesday. Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki, which is in East Nusa Tenggara province, erupted on Tuesday, spewing ash 11 km high, forcing the country's volcanology agency to raise the alert level to the highest. It erupted again on Wednesday morning, belching a 1 km high ash cloud, the agency said in a statement. Dean used the volcanic eruption as an opportunity to launch an attack on the Labor government's push for net zero. "There's plenty of volcanoes here in Indonesia, and they don't just sit around and wait for mankind to decide, as I've learned myself, there's no such thing as a schedule where the gods are concerned," he said. "The gods work to their own agenda, James, And I think we're going to see that, you know, there was one in Sicily only last week and the planet operates on its own rules, James. "The planet doesn't listen to the mere mortals, the Chris Bowens of this world, who think they can control the environment," he added in a dig towards the energy minister.
