Orban said he was 'bored', Hungarian voters have just given him more free time

from The Radio National Hour · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

US President Donald Trump threatened hell, fire and fury if Iran didn’t open the Strait of Hormuz - now he says the US is going to block the shipping lane. Maritime security analyst and former Australian naval officer Jennifer Parker says its a strategy that could work. As Hungary’s election results came in Viktor Orban was quick to see the writing on the wall - conceding defeat early in the piece - veteran foreign correspondent Julius Strauss says the combination of corruption, Russian influence and Orban's incountry’s new leader Peter Magyar will have to move quickly to satisfy the demands of  chart a different course with Europe and Russia. Could you live without a stomach? Maori woman Karyn Paringatai  had hers removed in 2010 to prevent a rare and aggressive hereditary form of stomach cancer - diffuse gastric cancer. The cancer is linked to a mutation of the CDH1 gene - unusually prevalent in Maori families.The radical procedure has become so common in parts of New Zealand that Karyn was recently sitting around with some of her aunties and cousins - of the eight people there they realised only one still had a stomach.
