Federal agencies ordered to start US government shutdown plans as deadline just hours away

Federal agencies in the US have been ordered to start planning for a now-inevitable US government shutdown, due to take effect at 12.01am local time (2.01pm AEST).

A weakened and isolated Hamas faces pressure to accept Trump’s peace plan for Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have finally outmaneuvered Hamas. After facing months of genocide accusations, pariah status and global pressure to halt the war in Gaza, Netanyahu has agreed on a ceasefire plan with US President Donald Trump. The 20-point plan, unveiled by Trump and Netanyahu at the White House, greatly favours Israel.

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...

Macron forced to walk NYC streets as Trump motorcade blocks traffic

Traffic during the United Nations General Assembly in New York can be brutal—even for presidents. French President Emmanuel Macron suddenly found himself stranded on the sidewalk Monday night. That's because President Donald Trump's motorcade had the street on lockdown. Macron picked up the phone and called Trump to jokingly complain about the gridlock. Macron called the US president when he was blocked by his motorcade. (TikTok) "How are you? Guess what? I'm waiting in the street because everything is closed for you," Macron says on the call. Eventually, the barricades opened for pedestrians, but not for cars. Macron had to keep the call going while walking to the French embassy. And if that wasn't unusual enough, a bystander seized the opportunity f...

‘Very dark day’: ABC reporter blasted by Trump responds

An Australian journalist subjected to a shocking spray and threat from US President Donald Trump says the notion asking a "legitimate" question could damage US-Australia relations is "an absurd notion". ABC journalist John Lyons, on assignment for the program Four Corners, quizzed Trump on his business dealings while in office, asking if it was "appropriate" for a sitting president to be engaged in so much personal commerce. "My kids are running the business," Trump said, before asking where Lyons was from. Donald Trump has issued an extraordinary threat to an Australian reporter. (9News) "The Australians. You're hurting Australia, right? In my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now," Trump said. "And they want to get along with me. You know, yo...
