Hamas says six people were killed by Israeli gunfire near an aid distribution centre in Gaza. Israel says it fired warning shots. Also: Trump says his relationship with Musk is over and Coco Gauff wins the French Open.
There’s been another shooting near a US and Israeli-backed aid distribution centre in southern Gaza. The Hamas-run civil defence agency said 6 Palestinians were killed and several wounded by Israeli gunfire. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation suspended aid distribution again, blaming threats from Hamas.
Also in the programme: the runaway rodents who had China transfixed; and it's Goodbye Lenin to Central Asia's tallest statue.

We start out by debating who's responsible for Dan's audio snafus last time before digging into a various odds and ends, such as the Chief Justice's toast at the Supreme Court Historical Society dinner and President Trump's renunciation of Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society. We then try to make sense of the DIG in Labcorp v. Davis and see whether our predictions about Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos panned out.
