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.

King Charles’ first official portrait vandalised by activists

Activists from an animal rights group have vandalised the first official portrait of King Charles, which is on display in a London gallery. Campaign group Animal Rising posted a video on its social media channels on Tuesday showing two activists using a paint roller to stick signs over the portrait of the monarch. Members of the public have been free to visit the portrait of the monarch, which is on display at the Philip Mould gallery in central London until June 21. The painting, the first official portrait of King Charles as monarch, raised eyebrows when it was unveiled earlier this year. Artist Jonathon Yeo depicted the king against a background of crimson red brush strokes, sparking mixed reactions. Activists covered the king's head with an image of British ...

US and Philippine forces, backed by an Australian air force surveillance aircraft, have unleashed a barrage of high-precision rockets, artillery fire and airstrikes and sank a mock enemy ship as part of largescale war drills in and near the disputed South China Sea that have antagonised Beijing.

Australia’s supermarket prices have been grilled by politicians, just don’t expect prices to drop anytime soon

A day after Australia's major supermarket bosses were questioned about price-gouging allegations, their conduct towards suppliers and, in one case, threatened with jail time, shoppers have been warned to not expect price drops anytime soon. Woolworths chief executive Brad Banducci had the threat of being found in contempt during his fiery Senate hearing yesterday morning, before Coles counterpart Leah Weckert's far milder appearance before the same committee in the afternoon. While both CEOs discussed the importance of providing competitive prices, Swinburne University corporate governance expert Helen Bird said the hearings are unlikely to lead to any drop in prices in store – even if the explanations by the supermarkets about their pricing practices are welcome.
