Julian Assange pleads guilty in US court

Julian Assange has pleaded guilty to a single felony charge in the courthouse of a remote US territory in the Pacific, ending a decade-plus legal saga over the publication of a trove of classified documents. The plane carrying the WikiLeaks founder to apparent freedom landed in the remote US territory of Saipan in the ocean between Papua New Guinea and Japan shortly before 6.30am, his supporters posted on X, for the final stage of a plea deal reached with the US Justice Department. Assange, clad in a dark suit with a bronze-coloured tie, arrived at the US courthouse in Saipan shortly before 8am AEST (Saipan is in the same timezone as Australia's east coast).

Tesla is recalling the Cybertruck again, this time because a piece can fly off

Tesla has issued two recalls on the Cybertruck, its third and fourth, since the model was introduced late last year. Currently, the Tesla Cybertruck is only sold in North America, as the region has less stringent design standards than Europe and Australia. The latest recall, which includes almost all of the nearly 12,000 trucks on the road so far, involves the truck's huge single windshield wiper and a piece of plastic trim along the edge of the truck bed. A piece of black plastic trim that runs along the edge of the truck's angled bed wall can come loose and may detach from the vehicle while it's being driven. "If the applique separates from the vehicle while in drive, it could create a road hazard for following motorists and increase their risk of injury or a ...

Who is Julian Assange and why is the embattled WikiLeaks founder now on the verge of freedom?

A plea deal with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will bring a stunning conclusion to an international saga of the quixotic hacker who exposed government secrets. The deal reached with the US Justice Department will lead to freedom for Assange after the Australian spent 12 years either in self-exile or prison. This is a look at Assange, the case and the latest developments. Who is Julian Assange? An Australian editor and publisher, he is best known for having founded the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, which gained massive attention — and notoriety — for the 2010 release of almost half a million documents relating to the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. His activism made him a cause célèbre among press freedom advocates who said his work in exposing US milita...

Half a million immigrants could eventually get US citizenship under a sweeping new plan from Biden

President Joe Biden ordered expansive election-year action Tuesday to offer potential citizenship to hundreds of thousands of immigrants without legal status in the U.S., aiming to balance his recent aggressive crackdown on the southern border that enraged advocates and many Democratic lawmakers. The president announced that his administration will, in the coming months, allow certain U.S. citizens’ spouses without legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship without having to first depart the country. The action by Biden, a Democrat, could affect upwards of half a million immigrants, according to senior administration officials. “The Statue of Liberty is not some relic of American history. It still stands for who we are,” Biden said from a crowded East Ro...

Nvidia becomes world’s most valuable company

Nvidia became the world’s most valuable company after its share price climbed to an all-time high on Tuesday. The stock ended the trading day at nearly $136, up 3.5%, making it more valuable than Microsoft. It overtook Apple earlier this month. American company Nvidia makes computer chips needed for artificial intelligence (AI) software, and demand for its products has boosted its sales and profits over the last few years. Many investors believe its earnings can grow even more, which has caused its share price to soar, though some have questioned its sky-high valuation. Tuesday’s share price rally means the market now values the company at $3.34tn (£2.63tn), with the price having nearly doubled since the start of this year. Eight years ago, the stock was worth less than 1% of its curr...

Biden to give legal status to 500,000 undocumented spouses

President Joe Biden has announced a new policy that would protect hundreds of thousands of undocumented spouses of US citizens from deportation, according to administration officials. The issue of immigration has proven an election-year headache for Mr Biden, who recently issued a sweeping executive action to curb record migrant arrivals at the US-Mexico border. The new policy will apply to those who have been in the country for at least 10 years and will allow them to work in the US legally. The White House believes more than 500,000 spouses will be eligible. Speaking at an event at the White House on Tuesday, Mr Biden said the move would help the US immigration system become less "unfair" and "unjust" for the benefit of immigrants, married couples - and all Americans. Polls show t...
