Summary

One of our two oil refineries caught fire this week, because of course, we didn't have enough issues with fuel supply. We'll take you through that, plus the latest in the Iran war - Israel and Lebanon have a ceasefire deal and the feud between Trump and the Pope. We'll also talk about Meghan and Harry's royal (but not royal) Australia tour. And we'll cap things off with a nice, palette-cleansing recommendation. Links Meghan and Harry’s Australia tour photos Eliza’s recommendation: The New Yorker’s investigation into Sam Altman (or if the length intimidates you, the podcast interview with the authors) Claire’s recommendation: The Other Bennet Sister Want more News Club in your life?
