Surely you can't bomb Gaza, level neighbourhoods and expand settlements and then act shocked that the reporting isn't exactly flattering.

ABC and SBS have of course defended their Gaza coverage at the Anti-Semitism Royal Commission, saying they achieved perfect balance by making it absolutely clear that everybody is furious at them for one reason or another, calling it not good enough.

Gillian Siegel went on to say this coverage comes at the expense of other world news, such as wars in Africa, saying, well, there are starving children in Africa who would love this kind of news coverage.

Real classic angry mum energy coming from Gillian there.

Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and former Conservative Minister Michael Gove are set to lead a fictional government in a reality TV show depicting Britain at war with Russia.

Sturgeon and Gove are Britain's most unlikely coalition since Liz Trust and Basic Arithmetic.

Originally, the producers wanted a believable fictional government, but eventually had to compromise with whoever was most likely to be bought.

In lieu of a fee, Nicola has agreed to do the show for a luxury bag, a pen and a motorhome, whereas Gove is going to get his home furnished.

Michael Gove and Nicola Sturgeon pretending to run Britain in a crisis may sound ridiculous, but it does answer a question nobody was asking.

What if politics had even fewer consequences? This fictional government is the only government less accountable than the real one.

The UK has experienced its warmest June on record this year, with heat reaching 37.7 degrees Celsius in a rare extreme weather event known everywhere else in the world as summer.

The government has urged citizens to stay cool, stay hydrated, and under absolutely no circumstances ask, why are these record temperatures happening every year? What is going on? It's best not to ask these kinds of things, you know? Ticket reseller StubHub UK has been ordered to refund more than 50,000 customers and pay a whopping $900,000 fine...

for not showing people the total price upfront when buying tickets.

Now, £900,000 does sound like a lot of money, and it is until ticket resellers add the refund administration fee, the handling fee, the compliance fee, the processing fee, and the mandatory charge for reading this sentence fee.

They'll get that money back in no time.

The ticketing industry has vowed to find more creative ways to ruin live music before the year's end.

So we can look forward to that.

A plan to auction more than 100 artifacts salvaged from the wreckage of the Titanic, including personal belongings, currency, kitchen items and decor is facing pushback from the US government, according to newly unsealed court documents.

It's unusual for the Trump administration to intervene in a plan to turn anything, let alone a maritime grave, into some sort of car boot sale.

I guess he is just waiting to see if anyone from the Saudi government is looking to buy anything first.

You know, he does love to do a good deal.

The auction house argues the artefacts should be shared with the public, specifically the section of the public that can afford £40,000 for a spoon from a tragedy.

The wreck was discovered 13,000 feet underwater, but apparently that's not deep enough to escape the arm of capitalism.

Police in Miami have cracked down on Scottish people putting cones on statues in Boston as the Tartan Army descended on the city ahead of their match against Brazil.

US police did what they always do when they see someone in a decorative headpiece that they don't understand, assumed it was an extremist threat and treated it as hostile.
