    Breakfast Wrap: Final hostage remains return to Israel

    26/01/2026 | 24 mins.
    The remains of the last Israeli hostage in Gaza are returned home, paving the way for progress on the US plan for the enclave. We hear from a former Israeli hostage negotiator turned peace activist. 
    Then, the dramatic end to the federal Liberal-National Coalition has the potential to reshape right-wing politics in Australia. While some are still working to get the Coalition back together, others say the break-up could lead to new opportunities for both parties.
    Meanwhile we talk soaring temperatures, the energy grid and the Adelaide Writer's Festival with the South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas. 
    And anti-vaping advocates say they have a program that could prevent problematic gambling behaviours in teenagers and young adults, and they're calling on the federal government to get behind it.
    Recap the morning's news, politics and global affairs with the Breakfast Wrap.
