On Thursday, 30 April 2026, the program opened with a look at current affairs, before connecting live to the Strait of Hormuz. From there, Katia Antoniadou, ERT’s correspondent in Iran, reported on the situation at the ports—through which transport operations continue, at least at a local level—for the hundreds of anchored vessels waiting for clearance to depart for their destinations following the easing of the American blockade. She also described the situation within the country’s society, having been among the few journalists granted a visa to report from the other side.
This was followed by an analysis of developments in the Middle East conflict, along with forecasts for the period ahead and insights into the intentions of the U.S. president, by Chrysostomos Loukas of ERT’s International News Department. Immediately afterwards, and before the comprehensive international news bulletin by Ivana Tzortzevits, the program reviewed front-page headlines from major Greek news portals.
The second hour, following a review of the daily newspaper front pages, focused on tourism and the impact of international developments. Data concerning Greece were analyzed by Lysandros Tsilidis, President of the Federation of Hellenic Associations of Tourist & Travel Agencies (FEDHATTA). An increase in tourism activity in Rome and Cairo, despite developments in the Middle East, was highlighted by Greek tour guide Maria Tamouridou from the Eternal City, and by Giorgos Rektsinis, head of Greek-speaking guides in Egypt, from Cairo.
The program concluded with the latest sports news from Antigoni Drakatou.
