Trump's Iran deadline approaches + The star of the Magic Faraway Tree

Friday Headlines:

  • Trump says it’s up to Iran to make ceasefire deal
  • Fuel crisis continues with more than 650 stations running dry
  • Tropical Cyclone Narelle heads to north west WA
  • IOC bans trans athletes from women's Olympic events
  • Former Venezuelan president appears in court in New York

Deep Dive: The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton is one of those stories that’s been loved across generations and now, it’s getting a fresh life on the big screen.

The new film tackles our addiction to technology and follows a modern family who swap screens for the outdoors, only to discover a magical world that helps them reconnect with each other and themselves.

In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith speaks with Jessica Gunning, who plays Dame Washalot and who you might also recognise from Baby Reindeer. She joined us while in Australia ahead of the film’s premiere to unpack why nostalgia continues to resonate, and whether the Faraway Tree series reminds us of the wonder we lose when we’re always looking down at our devices.
