The US government has reopened after a historic shutdown. What does that mean, exactly?

The US government has reopened after a historic 43-day shutdown that started during a federal funding dispute on October 1. Thousands of federal workers went without pay, travellers were stranded at airports, and people lined up at food banks for almost eight weeks. US Donald Trump has signed off on legislation that resumed funding after a group of moderate Democrats caved and began the process to end the shutdown. In case you need a refresher, this is what that means. The US government was shut down for the first time in more than six years in early October. (AP) What is a government shutdown? Federal agencies across the country were shuttered, with non-essential workers, like park rangers, put on leave without pay. Essential federal workers,...

Rumours growing about plot to overthrow UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been forced to address reports that his rivals within the Labour Party are conspiring to replace him as leader, just two weeks before the government budget announcement, which could further worsen his already abysmal popularity. Several British media outlets quoted Starmer's allies on Tuesday as saying his position could be in imminent danger and pointing to Health Secretary Wes Streeting as a contender whose "ambition" was viewed with "particular suspicion." These same allies reported that Starmer would fight any challenge to his leadership. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been forced to address rumours of a leadership challenge.

Kamala Harris hints at another presidential run: ‘I am not done’

Former US vice president Kamala Harris has hinted she could make another bid for the White House in an interview with the BBC, saying she would "possibly" be president one day and expressing confidence that America will see a woman in the Oval Office in the future. Harris marked her clearest indication yet that she might launch another presidential campaign in 2028, following her 2024 defeat to now-president Donald Trump, during an interview with BBC's Laura Kuenssberg which will air on Sunday. "I am not done," the former vice president said.

Kevin Rudd approached Donald Trump after a tense press conference moment. Here’s what happened

Donald Trump has reportedly "forgiven" Australian ambassador Kevin Rudd over the latter's old remarks labelling the US president a "traitor to the West". Rudd, a former prime minister and now Australia's ambassador to the US, was present this morning at the landmark meeting between Trump and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The meeting saw Trump and Albanese sign off on an $8.5 billion critical minerals deal, while warm behaviour was on show between the two leaders.

Donald Trump and Anthony Albanese sign critical minerals deal in chummy first White House meeting

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has walked away from his long-awaited White House meeting with an $8.5 billion critical minerals deal and some effusive praise from US President Donald Trump. In a 35-minute sitdown, Trump referred to his visitor repeatedly as a friend and seemed to throw his support behind the AUKUS deal but declined to budge on Australia's tariff levels and took a swipe at former prime minister Kevin Rudd, who was also in the room. After multiple attempts to meet in person over the past months, Albanese and Trump shook hands outside the White House on Monday morning (early Tuesday AEDT) and sat down in the cabinet room surrounded by Trump's top secretaries.

Bad buildings, biological weapons and killing cows: Trump’s most notable lines at the UN

US President Donald Trump's hour-long address at the United Nations General Assembly in New York was full of mockery, bizarre tangents and praises for his own accomplishments. He spent a considerable amount of time criticising the UN for its "bad teleprompter and bad building" and failure to stop international conflicts, leaving it up to him to end seven "unendable" wars. Maybe his most shocking line was when he told world leaders, "Your countries are going to hell" if they did not crack down on migration.

Here is a compilation of some of the president's most notable lines. 'Whoever's operatin...
