The UN's report on genocide in Gaza, Donald Trump heads to the UK, and Anguilla's internet jackpot
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, according to a report by a United Nations Commision of Inquiry. One of the key authors of that report, Australian human rights lawyer Chris Sidoti, joins Late Night Live just hours after its release. Meanwhile, the United Kindgom is preparing for a visit from Donald Trump. But America has already affected UK politics, with the sacking of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US over his connections with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Last, to Anguilla, where their domain name .ai has turned into a digital jackpot thanks to the frenzy around artificial intelligence.

Bruce Shapiro's USA, 50 years of independent Papua New Guinea, and the closure of Meanjin
Trump's soon-to-be-renamed "Department of War" killed 11 people on a boat, saying they were Venezuelan drug smugglers. As Bruce Shapiro says, the killings were a brazenly extrajudicial act. Closer to home, Papua New Guinea will celebrate 50 years as an independent nation next week, a status it achieved when it separated from the ruling colonial power — Australia. We revisit the history of Papua New Guinea, and why so many Australians forgot (or never learned) that it was once our territory. Then to Australian literature, and the demise of the 85-year-old literary magazine, Meanjin.
