Photograph: Carl Court/Getty Images Pauline Hanson tells London CPAC crowd she is ‘sick of hearing about white privilege’ and ‘fears for England’ Reform UK leader Nigel Farage compares One Nation leader’s polling rise to Donald Trump’s victory in the US Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates Get our breaking news email , free app or daily news podcast Pauline Hanson has told a political conference in London that Australia is following Britain down a path of cultural decline, blaming mass immigration, multiculturalism, Islam, net zero policies and “woke” ideology such as support for trans rights. The One Nation leader has been in the UK to speak at the inaugural British spin-off from America’s influential Conservative Political Action Conference, alongside Nigel Farage and Liz Truss, the former British prime minister. On Saturday she made a speech which was livestreamed on YouTube, telling the CPAC audience that while England is a beautiful country, London was not for her. “I went to Tower Hamlets [a multicultural area in east London] just last week. Well, wasn’t that a rude awakening to me. I felt I was in another country. I didn’t believe this was England,” she said. She later added: “London? No, thank you. That’s my opinion … I see this happening too in some parts of Australia … I fear for England, I really do. You were the crystal ball for me to come over here and see what’s happened here. I believe we’re about five to 10 years behind England.” Towards the end of the speech, she told attendees: “Do not apologise for being white. I’m sick of hearing about white privilege. We are all human beings. We must learn from the mistakes of the past, but we don’t repeat that in reverse now, and I see that happening.” Hanson also addressed a conference dinner on Friday (Saturday AEST) with media reportedly barred from attending. According to leaked audio of her speech reported by the Nine papers, she told attendees that “immigration is destroying our country as it has destroyed yours”. Farage, the leader of Reform UK, in his address on Friday compared Hanson’s polling rise to Donald Trump’s victory in the US. “This political revolution of course has happened in America,” Farage said. “It’s happening in Australia as we speak. Pauline: amazing. Amazing what you’ve done to get to the top of the opinion polls.” Elsewhere, Hanson denied rumours of a rift with One Nation recruit Barnaby Joyce over her European tour and podcast with the far-right British activist Tommy Robinson .

Photograph: Matt Roberts/Shutterstock Trump rails against New York’s statewide datacenter moratorium AI-friendly president shared a post saying governor Kathy Hochul should scrap the one-year policy ‘IMMEDIATELY’ Donald Trump railed against the New York governor, Kathy Hochul , for pausing the construction of large new datacenters, the resource-intensive facilities that power artificial intelligence. New York became the first US state to enact a moratorium on new datacenters on Tuesday, when Hochul signed an executive order mandating a one-year statewide pause on so-called “hyperscale” datacenters. “New York state has made a terrible decision,” the president wrote on his Truth Social platform. New York becomes first state to impose one-year pause on new AI datacenters Read more Trump said Hochul had implemented the one-year ban for purely political reasons and should scrap the policy “IMMEDIATELY”. “One of the biggest Driving Forces in the Future for Jobs, are Data Centers. They are big, strong, bold, and Money Machines for the State in which they are built,” Trump wrote. The order, which is the first of its kind to be enacted in the US, directs state regulators to create regulatory standards to address the environmental impacts of these big projects. “This pause will remain in place for up to one year while New York establishes the strongest possible framework to protect our community’s guardrails to reduce the risk to our energy grid, minimize land disruption, noise pollution and protect our national resources, especially our water supply,” Hochul said at a press conference. The president has pursued a deregulatory agenda with regards to AI during his second term, though he said Wednesday that datacenters should pay for their own water and power rather than accepting tax breaks, as have been offered in the past. “Both the Taxes and the Jobs amount to LIQUID GOLD! All of this Income, and other Benefits, will be going to Red States, and some Blue, where Data Centers are sought as Cash Cows, with Lower Taxes and Record Setting Jobs,” he wrote, adding that datacenters constituted “tremendous WINS” for “states that were lucky enough to get them”. He said the “radical left democrats” would cause the US to “lose Data Centers and AI” to China. The appetite for datacenter moratoriums is growing nationally as anger builds over the facilities’ effects on energy prices and local environments. Almost three-quarters of Americans oppose a datacenter being built near their homes, according to a new Heatmap poll . More than a dozen states have considered moratoria in response to residents’ fears a

Photograph: Charles Dharapak/AP Former Obama White House counsel to face House questioning over Epstein ties Kathryn Ruemmler welcomes closed-door interview and says she had no knowledge of ongoing criminal activity Kathryn Ruemmler, who served as White House counsel under Barack Obama, is set to testify on Wednesday before the House committee on oversight and reform about her ties to Jeffrey Epstein as part of the panel’s investigation into the convicted sex offender. Ruemmler came under scrutiny earlier this year after her name appeared thousands of times in the records related to Epstein that were released by the justice department under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. She announced in February that she would be resigning from her role at Goldman Sachs as chief legal officer effective on 30 June. Emails between Ruemmler and Epstein, exchanged between 2014 and 2019 – years after Epstein pleaded guilty to Florida state prostitution charges, including procuring a minor – showed that Ruemmler accepted luxury gifts from Epstein , addressed him as “Uncle Jeffrey ” and “sweetie ”, advised him on how to respond to questions about his sex crimes, and, a document showed that she was at one point listed as a backup executor of his will, according to the Wall Street Journal . In one 2015 email, Ruemmler wrote to Epstein: “friendships goes two ways – getti=g you some peace with respect to all of this legal shit is important to me.” In an interview for a guest essay in the New York Times opinion section in June, Ruemmler said that she first got connected with Epstein in 2014, after she left the White House, and Epstein contacted her about a potential opportunity to work with Bill Gates. “What I did not appreciate at the time and now deeply regret,” Ruemmler said , “is that Epstein used me, along with many others, to legitimize his standing.” “If I had seen or heard anything to suggest that Epstein was harming women or girls, I would have taken action to stop it,” she added. Wednesday’s interview will be conducted behind closed doors, with the committee expected to release a transcript at a later date, as it has for previous witnesses. In a statement to the Guardian this week, ahead of her testimony, a spokesperson for Ruemmler said that Ruemmler “welcomes the opportunity to appear before the Committee”. “At the time she interacted with Jeffrey Epstein , she was a practicing criminal defense attorney and shared a client with him,” the spokesperson said. “She has done nothing wrong and had no knowledge of any ongoing criminal activity on his part.” Despite announcing her

Electricity prices and energy policy remain politically contentious, with the Coalition abandoning a target of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Photograph: Philippe Lopez/AFP/Getty Images Coalition and One Nation’s plan to ditch net zero would not lower power prices, CSIRO report finds GenCost report contradicts parties’ claims about abandoning emissions target, and finds nuclear would be most expensive way to generate power Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates Get our breaking news email , free app or daily news podcast Claims by the Coalition and One Nation that abandoning a net zero climate target would bring down power prices are contradicted in a new CSIRO report on the costs of generating electricity. Generation costs will probably rise after 2030 regardless of Australia’s policy on net zero , according to the CSIRO’s annual GenCost report, but prices should then stabilise at levels below recent price spikes. The report concludes electricity from nuclear plants, which the Coalition and One Nation promote, would be the most expensive way to generate electricity among the current options. Showing the projected low and high levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) in 2030 for each electricity production category. LCOE is a measurement of the average cost of electricity over a power plant’s lifetime A boom in power-hungry datacentres in the United States was driving up the costs of gas turbines, the report said, while batteries were replacing the role of gas in providing electricity during evening peaks in Australia.

Electricity prices and energy policy remain politically contentious, with the Coalition abandoning a target of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Sign up for the Breaking News Australia email One Nation, which is polling close to Labor and above the Coalition, rejects climate change science and would abandon the Paris agreement and any net zero targets. Paul Graham, CSIRO chief energy economist and the report’s lead author, said: “If we abandon net zero, that does not open up some low-cost pathway [for electricity]. “As coal retires, you have to replace it. If that new thing is coal, we still have the same costs [of electricity generation] as we are expecting if we replace it with renewables.” He said if coal plant closures were delayed or new coal plants built, this would mean an increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the electricity sector. “If you do want to reach net zero then you have to do that abatement somewhere else,” he said. “The analysis shows the cost of abatement is lower in the electri

"Our goal is to build a shared ballistic missile defense capability for Europe," the 10 nations said in a statement in Paris at talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He was asking two dozen leaders for help in developing measures against Russia's missile attacks that have pummeled his country and made the rest of Europe wary of Moscow's wider ambitions on the continent. Zelenskyy and the leaders of Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom said they recognized "the growing threat posed by ballistic missiles," which are harder to stop than cruise missiles or drones. "We believe that protecting Europe requires a comprehensive solution, in the form of an integrated missile defense architecture, to deter and neutralize future missile threats," the statement said. "We recognize Ukraine's unique experience, gained through its defense against the war of aggression waged by Russia." The statement gave no time frame for setting up the defense system and said the plan remained open to other countries. Putin shows no sign Russia is backing down Russian President Vladimir Putin was unyielding, vowing Monday emphatic retaliation to Kyiv's recent long-range attacks on refineries, tankers and terminals that have caused widespread fuel shortages. "Wherever they attempt to strike Russian territory, we will respond in kind, but our strikes will be several times more powerful," Putin told a meeting with pro-Kremlin activists. European foreign ministers were meeting separately in Brussels where they discussed Ukraine's needs and Russia's threats to the continent. Zelenskyy is keen to accelerate efforts with European countries to develop its air defenses ahead of winter, when Russia usually intensifies its attacks to deny Ukrainians electricity, heat and water. Ukrainian officials were in Paris to present a proposed Anti-Ballistic Program and meet with government leaders, national security advisers and defense companies who might take part, Zelenskyy said. U.S. President Donald Trump's pledge last week to give Ukraine a license to produce Patriot air defense systems to counter the ballistic missiles could mark a major breakthrough for Kyiv. However, experts and Ukrainian officials warn th

He signed for Locomotive, who are based in El Paso, Texas, in May after a two-month trial.

READ MORE: The new housing bill is historic. Experts say it may fall short for renters most in need "I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT," Trump posted on social media. Trump had 10 days until the Friday deadline to sign the bill, issue a veto, or allow the measure to take effect without his signature. He has chosen to let the measure become law without his express approval, undercutting his administration's claims that he considers it a priority to combat inflation. Trump's rejection of the bipartisan housing legislation exacerbates tensions with his own party in a midterm election year and cuts short their efforts to address a key voter concern about rising costs. His post comes more than a week after he canceled plans to sign the bipartisan legislation, announcing he was using it as leverage in his push for a strict voter ID bill. Educate your inbox Subscribe to Here’s the Deal, our politics newsletter for analysis you won’t find anywhere else. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to lower the cost of housing and spur more home construction. It's the broadest federal effort in decades to address America's housing affordability problems, as state and local regulations have made it difficult to build in many of the communities that are also sources of job growth and economic opportunity. White House economists estimated earlier this year a national shortage of 10 million homes and the bill could help to close a portion of that gap. But Trump called the bill "a yawn" and "so unimportant" compared to legislation that would require proof of citizenship for all voters. He surprised Republican lawmakers on June 24, when, shortly before a planned signing ceremony at the Capitol, he announced he would not approve the bill until lawmakers first passed the voting legislation. That bill, the SAVE America Act, doesn't have enough Republican support to pass. READ MORE: The Senate has passed a major housing reform bill. Here are 3 ways i

Pam the Bird alleged graffiti artist perched atop Bolte Bridge tower as standoff continues – video Pam the Bird: arrest ends hours-long standoff after graffiti painted on Melbourne’s 120m Bolte Bridge tower Jack Gibson-Burrell, 22, was taken into custody for questioning after allegedly climbing and painting a giant cartoon bird on the bridge Follow our Australia news live blog for latest updates Get our breaking news email , free app or daily news podcast The man accused of painting the notorious Pam the Bird graffiti has been arrested after he allegedly climbed and vandalised a major bridge, sparking an hours-long police standoff and traffic chaos. Nearly nine hours after causing a major police operation from the top of Melbourne’s Bolte Bridge, on which he allegedly painted a giant cartoon bird, Jack Gibson-Burrell peacefully surrendered just before midday on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Yarraville man caused “considerable cost to the public”, police said. View image in fullscreen A man gestures from the top of the eastern pylon of the Bolte Bridge in Melbourne. Photograph: Joel Carrett/EPA Police had been negotiating with Gibson-Burrell since they were called to the bridge at 2am over reports someone had scaled one of the 140-metre-high pillars. Just after 11am, Gibson-Burrell, dressed head to toe in black, climbed down the pillar and calmly surrendered to police on the embankment at the bottom of the bridge. Sign up for the Breaking News Australia email Hours earlier, he had allegedly climbed up the pillar, before abseiling down and painting a Pam the Bird tag, similar to others which have been graffitied across Melbourne for years, often on hard-to-reach places and heritage-listed buildings. Exactly how he got to the top of the bridge is unknown, but some reports have suggested an entry door at the lower level was open and a black bag was covering a nearby CCTV camera. View image in fullscreen Jack Gibson-Burrell surrendered to police on the embankment at the bottom of the Bolte Bridge. Photograph: Joel Carrett/AAP A recently created Instagram page, @pambirdofficial, shared video stories appearing to be from Gibson-Burrell at the top of the pillar with the hashtag #notcomingdown. In one video, a man’s voice says: “I’m not coming down until they lower the taxes. Fucking sick of paying that shit.” Another video shows feet dangling off the tower and zooms in on a large police presence before the man “flips the bird” to officers down below. Later, he added a request for a blanket. Melbourne’s temperature dropped to 4C on Tuesday morning as fog covered the top of the pillar. At one point during the standoff, Gibson-Burrell abseiled down the pillar and taunted police and media below with a wave before returning to the top. After his arrest, Act Insp Darren Wallis said a 22-year-old Yarraville man had been taken into custody for questioning.

Photograph: Dieudonne Dirole/EPA Analysis What will define Elon Musk’s legacy? Doge cuts to USAID Ebola programs Melody Schreiber Experts say cuts have hindered the response to DRC’s Ebola outbreak and resulted in ‘significant numbers’ of deaths Elon Musk has an Ebola problem. SpaceX stock dropped precipitously after its initial public offering, and Tesla faces a wave of lawsuits. But instead of focusing on his companies, Musk has posted frequently on X about the US Agency for International Development (USAID), which he helped dismantle – or, in his words, feed into the woodchipper – last year. “Elon’s USAID crash-out over the past week has been a thing to behold,” said Jeremy Konyndyk, a former top USAID official who oversaw the agency’s Ebola response in 2014-2015 and the president of Refugees International. “In a way, it’s helpful that Elon is doing this, because it’s putting attention back on the issue of what he did last year.” Musk has said his critics “cannot cite a single name of someone who died” and “If there were, it would be worldwide headline news!” When confronted with the names – including those of children who died because of the cuts – Musk called a journalist “an utter piece of shit and a liar” and “ utterly evil ”. Musk has claimed , without evidence, that US tax dollars went to arming militants and “ corrupt politicians ”. Musk’s cuts, through the short-lived US “department of government efficiency” (Doge), have come under renewed scrutiny during the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Last year, Musk admitted to “accidentally” cutting Ebola detection and response programs. “This is one of the reasons why there was not enough surveillance and preparedness for the outbreak of Ebola ,” said Davide Rasella, a research professor at the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies and head of the Global Health Impact Assessment and Evaluation Group at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) in Spain. If global health programs hadn’t been slashed in the DRC and elsewhere, the Ebola outbreak would have been detected much earlier, Konyndyk said. “I’m very confident about that,” he added. The cuts have affected global health, nutrition and education around the world. One Lancet study estimated there would be 14 million deaths, including 4.5 million child deaths, if USAID were abolished entirely. When Ro Khanna, a Democratic congressman from California, cited the study, Musk threatened to sue, and he doubled down on his claims that Doge did nothing wrong. Rasella, one of the authors of the Lancet study, was unfamiliar with the Khanna-Musk conflict, but he stood by the estimat

Balogun was given a red card in last week’s game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, meaning he would miss the next game. But President Trump intervened and FIFA reversed Balogun's suspension. Amna Nawaz discussed the World Cup controversy with Liz Landers and Leander Schaerlaeckens, author of “The Long Game." Read the Full Transcript Notice: Transcripts are machine and human generated and lightly edited for accuracy. They may contain errors. Amna Nawaz: All right, let's turn our attention now to President Trump's involvement in another international affair. That's the World Cup. The U.S. takes on Belgium tonight with star striker Flo Balogun on the pitch. Balogun was given a red card in last week's game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, meaning he would miss tonight's game. Then Trump intervened, and FIFA reversed Balogun's suspension, leading to controversy and outrage. For more, we turn now to our White House correspondent, Liz Landers, as well as Leander Schaerlaeckens, who's been covering the cup for ESPN and The Guardian, is the author of the book "The Long Game: U.S. Men's Soccer and Its Savage, Four-Decade Journey to the Top or Thereabouts." Leander, I will turn to you first, because you have covered soccer for a while. For context here,how unusual is it for a red card suspension to be handed out during a World Cup match and then reversed mid-tournament? How often does that happen? Leander Schaerlaeckens, The Guardian: The rules are very clear here. You get a red card, you're suspended for the next game. In fact, the last time I was on your very show, I was asked, is there any chance he will play in the next game? And I said no, because there wasn't. This has happened before in the World Cup. In 1962, a Brazilian player called Garrincha was kind of spared his automatic suspension. It hasn't happened since then. There's a little bit of a recent precedence, where Cristiano Ronaldo was supposed to miss the first two games of this World Cup because of a suspension. But then he went to the White House along with his Saudi employer, Mohammed bin Salman, and suddenly that suspension went away and he was ready to go in the opening games of this World Cup. But this is not supposed to happen. There is a huge uproar around the world about this, and rightly so, because what's happened here is that a wrong has been righted in the soccer sense, because it shouldn't have been a red card. And the U.S. played down a man for half-an-hour and was going to miss its best striker for this Belgium game. But in fixin

Photograph: Michael Brochstein/Zuma/Shutterstock View image in fullscreen Mitch McConnell at a Senate appropriations subcommittee hearing on the defense department at the Capitol last month. Photograph: Michael Brochstein/Zuma/Shutterstock Details scarce as Mitch McConnell ‘continues recovery’ in hospital Staff decline to give updates on senator’s health and whether he will be at Capitol when Senate returns Staff for Mitch McConnell said last week that the Kentucky senator was “continuing his recovery” in a hospital while the Senate is out of session. But his office has released no details about the former Republican leader’s condition during his weeks-long hospitalization or whether he will be at the Capitol when the Senate returns next week. McConnell was admitted to the hospital on 14 June, according to a statement from his office that only said he was “receiving excellent care”. A statement a week later said that he would not be voting that week. And on Thursday, a new statement said that he “continues to improve” and ”appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital”. His office has not released any updates since then, and a spokesperson did not return a request for comment on Monday. The senator’s unspecified health issues come after several hospitalizations in recent years, and as Senate Republicans are already navigating a narrow majority in the final months before the midterm elections. McConnell, 84, was the longest-serving Senate leader in history before stepping aside from that role. He is serving out his final term, which ends in January. While he was still Republican leader, McConnell was hospitalized with a concussion in March 2023 and missed several weeks of work after falling in a Washington hotel. After he returned, he twice froze during news conferences that summer, staring ahead before colleagues and staff came to his assistance. A year later, he fell and sprained his wrist while walking out of a GOP luncheon. McConnell had polio in his early childhood and he has long acknowledged some difficulty as an adult in walking and climbing stairs. He also tripped and fell in 2019 at his home in Kentucky and underwent surgery for a fractured shoulder. McConnell was first elected to the Senate in 1984 and was the Republican leader from 2007 until last year, serving as majority and minority leader during that period. He has remained active as a rank-and-file senator, showing up for work when the chamber is in session, often using a wheelchair to get around.

Image source, PA Media By James Gregory Political reporter Published 17 minutes ago UK fighter jets intercepted a Russian maritime patrol aircraft after it "repeatedly approached" a carrier strike group in the Norwegian Sea, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said. The Russian Bear-F plane passed at low altitude and "unnecessarily close" to the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier and is believed to have dropped 10 sonobuoys into the water on Thursday, the MoD added. The MoD said Moscow's activity in the Norwegian Sea was "unsafe and unprofessional". It comes weeks after Royal Marines boarded a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in the English Channel , while the head of the military has warned the risks and threats facing the UK are greater now than at any time since the Cold War. The UK's Carrier Strike Group is currently deployed off Iceland under Nato command, with 1,500 British personnel on board. The group consists of HMS Prince of Wales, Type 45 destroyer HMS Duncan, F-35 jets, Merlin and Wildcat helicopters, and is supported by RFA Tidespring, a replenishment tanker. The monitoring devices which were believed to have been dropped by the Bear-F plane float on the water and use sonar to detect submarines and other vessels. British forces attempted to contact the Russian plane on international frequencies, but it did not respond. Two F-35 jets then flew from the Prince of Wales to escort the Bear-F away from the Carrier Strike Group. Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis visited British forces on board the flagship HMS Prince of Wales over the weekend and told Channel 4 News: "We should be clear-eyed about the fact that the threat from Russia exists in every domain, under the water, on the water, on the land, in the sky, in space and in cyberspace as well." Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Richard Knighton told the BBC in June that Russia had been "probing, challenging, testing our defences", and was "raising the stakes and risks crossing a line".
