Good morning, and welcome to the Morning Mail.

Sign up here for our Guardian Today email, sent every day at noon, and you can sign up to our new Guardian Australia sport email here.

Among the most read stories our website this morning, the journalists who broke the Panama Papers advise the media to collaborate to investigate Trump. "The next time Donald Trump tries to single out a reporter, or doesn't answer a question, the next reporter who's allowed to speak should repeat the question of the journalist Trump has snubbed. And if Trump stops this reporter, too, then the next one should repeat the original question, and so on."

Keep reading for the rest of the top stories this morning, with more news from around Australia and the world.
