With Matt on assignment, Daniel is joined by Producer Adam and brother of the pod, journalist Aaron Maté to survey mysteriously shrouded Israeli weapons demonstrations, the purported expertise of the New York Times Editorial Board, and fittingly for an episode with 100% more Canadians than normal: a thorough investigation of things you can’t do on television (if hasbarists are watching).

Whilst Australia is not a G7 member, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is in Canada for the annual G7 summit for a number of "sideline" talks, including a face-to-face with US President Donald Trump, where AUKUS will be on the agenda. Australia will also hold formal negotiations on joining a new defence agreement with the European Union, as The Guardian Australia's Tom McIlroy reports.

Kumara or sweet potato originally comes from South America, but how did it become one of the national foods of Aotearoa New Zealand?  The Polynesians that first settled New Zealand around 1300 were thought to just be hunter-gatherers and only later turn to farming. But archaeologists have used new research technology to prove the Maori arrived with plans and sophisticated techniques for growing kumara, and even started off in the cooler climate of the South Island. 

• Guest: Professor Ian Barber from the University of Otago led research that used granules of kumara starch to establish the date and place kumara was first grown by Maori in New Zealand

Nick and Ciarán discuss Iran and Israel as well as the military parade.
