Trump unveils $12bn farm aid package to help farmers who faced 'unjustified trade actions'
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has unveiled a $12bn (£9bn) farm aid package aimed at helping farmers impacted by low crop prices and the administration's ongoing trade wars.Most of the money – $11bn – is earmarked for one-time payments to farmers for row crops as part of the agriculture department's Farmer Bridge Assistance programme, with another billion reserved for crops not covered by the programme.While farmers have broadly supported Trump, the agriculture sector has been disrupted by trade disputes during his second term, particularly with China.Also on Monday, Trump threatened to hit Mexico with an additional 5% tariff in a row over water supplies to US farmers.The White House says the aid package will help farmers suffering from "years of unjustified trade...

Ukraine prepares new peace plan as Zelensky rules out giving up land
LONDON — Ukraine is preparing to present a revised peace plan to the White House, as it seeks to avoid making territorial concessions to Russia.Kyiv is set propose alternatives to the US after President Volodymyr Zelensky again ruled out surrendering land, saying he had "no right" to do so under Ukrainian or international law.He made the comments as he met European and Nato leaders on Monday, part of a collective push to deter the US from backing a peace deal which includes major concessions for Ukraine, and which allies fear would leave it vulnerable to a future invasion.Meanwhile, the city of Sumy in north-western Ukraine was left without power overnight after a Russian drone attack.The region's governor said more than a dozen drones had hit power infrastructure, the latest in...

US deports second group of Iranian nationals, officials say
WASHINGTON —The US has deported a second group of Iranian nationals, officials in Tehran said, as the Trump administration continues its immigration enforcement efforts.A chartered plane carrying more than 50 Iranians flew out of Mesa, Arizona, on Sunday, travelling through Cairo and Kuwait before arriving in Iran, according to reports.Tehran's foreign ministry confirmed the Iranian nationals' return to Iran. US immigration officials could not "confirm or deny a flight" for security reasons.The first deportation flight took off from the US in late September, in a rare instance of cooperation between Iran and the US.

US revoked 85,000 visas since January, State Department official says
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has revoked 85,000 visas of all categories since January, more than double the number pulled last year, according to a State Department official.The high number of revocations, which includes more than 8,000 student visas, come amid a broader push by the Trump administration to both target immigrants within the United States and limit who can come to the country.The department official said Monday that offenses like driving under the influence, assaults, and theft accounted for “almost half of the revocations in the past year.” They did not detail the reasons for the other half of the visa revocations this year, however, the department has previously also pointed to visa expirations and “support for terrorism” in justifying pulling visas.The...

Australia's social media ban for children has left big tech scrambling
SYDNEY — When Stephen Scheeler became Facebook's Australia chief in the early 2010s, he was a true believer in the power of the internet, and social media, for public good.It would herald a new era of global connection and democratise learning. It would let users build their own public squares without the traditional gatekeepers."There was that heady optimism phase when I first joined and I think a lot of the world shared that," he told the BBC.But by the time he left the firm in 2017, seeds of doubt about its work had been planted, and they've since bloomed."There's lots of good things about these platforms, but there's just too much bad stuff," he surmises.That's no longer an uncommon view as scrutiny of the largest social media companies has increased around...

Prince Harry's security in UK under review
LONDON — The Duke of Sussex's access to security when he visits the UK is under review, sources have told the BBC.In May, Prince Harry lost a legal case to have his police protection reinstated when visiting the UK.In a BBC interview after the ruling, he said it was not safe to bring his family back to the country of his birth because he could not guarantee their safety.It is understood a Home Office review will now look at whether he should automatically receive full police protection on visits to the UK even though he is no longer a working member of the royal family.Sources close to the prince say this level of security review is long overdue.According to The Sun newspaper, the process for reassessing the duke's threat level is already under way and a decision is expected...
