Iran has denied a claim by US Vice-President JD Vance that it has agreed to allow United Nations nuclear inspectors back into the country.
The denial comes after the first round of talks between Washington and Tehran aimed at securing a long-term peace deal.
The United States has meanwhile temporarily eased oil sanctions on Iran as negotiations continue.
Mr Vance says inspectors will be central to any final agreement.
"Look, whether whether good faith or bad faith, you can't trust anybody's words. You have to trust what they actually do. Letting in the inspectors is a big deal. But again, we're going to see what they actually let the inspectors do once they’re in the country. That's going to continually be part of our negotiation. So my point is not that I trust or distrust anybody. My point is that I trust actions."
Five people have been killed and dozens injured in a Ukrainian strike on Russia’s Voronezh region.
Ukraine’s military says it used air-launched cruise missiles to hit a plant producing electronics used in Russian missiles.
The facility is less than 200 kilometres from the Ukrainian border and is described as a critical part of Russia’s defence industry.
Ukraine says the plant manufactures components for several missile systems, including the Iskander tactical missile.
US President Donald Trump has weighed in on Sir Keir Starmer’s resignation as British prime minister.
Asked at the White House, Mr Trump criticised Sir Keir over immigration, energy policy and support for NATO.
He then turned to the conflict with Iran, accusing Sir Keir of failing to strongly back the United States.
"By the way, Starmer wasn't there. And you know what? The people of the UK did not like that he wasn't there. Starmer said no. Starmer said worse than no. He said, 'We''ll be there as soon as you win.' I said, 'We don't need you as soon as we win.' Before I went in, we called him. He said, 'Oh, wow - we'll be there.." This was not Winston Churchill with this one - that I can tell you."
Sir Keir resigned after months of pressure within Labour, with Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham announcing he will stand to replace him as party leader and prime minister.
A new Kids Helpline report shows crisis interventions have more than tripled over the past seven years.
The counselling service responded to more than 51-hundred crisis interventions in 2025, up 350 per cent since 2018.
The report also found First Nations young people made up nine per cent of all contacts to the service, more than double their share of the population.
Contentious tax reforms are set to become law after the Greens agreed to support Labor’s legislation in the Senate.
The minor party struck a deal with the government in exchange for extending an inquiry into separate changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
The Greens also secured several amendments to the tax package.
The government will also close a loophole allowing people to buy property through self-managed super funds to avoid capital gains tax changes.
Agricultural industry bodies are lobbying the Federal Government for assistance as the sector grapples with environmental law reforms backed by Labor and the Greens.
They’re seeking a written guarantee that daily farming activities won’t be affected by compliance measures and red tape, as well as clarification about the new rules.
National Farmers Federation resources manager Warwick Ragg says seven months after the Environmental Protection Act was enacted, farmers still don’t know what to do.
"We really need to make some inroads into how we can implement this to farmers. Fix the legislation if it needs fixing or focus on what needs to be fixed. We know that there is a feral animal problem out there. We need investment and input into doing that. If you want to save biodiversity, kill the things that are killing animals. Can we really get serious about how this environment needs to be managed? It is a broad landscape. Farmers need answers and they need answers now."
A newly discovered spider in far north Queensland has been found using a spring-loaded trap to catch its prey.
The tiny ballista spider is named after an ancient Roman weapon, because it launches insects into the air.
Researchers say it targets green tree ants by luring them with a pheromone before springing its web.
The discovery was made in remote rainforest, where the spider spends hours building dozens of tension lines before striking.
Algeria and Jordan will face off this afternoon in a crucial group match in California.
Both sides are chasing valuable points as they look to keep their hopes of progressing alive.
Fans have gathered in large numbers ahead of the clash, with supporters travelling from across North America.
Jordan fan Khaldoon Taharwah is confident his side can make a deep run in the tournament.
"Jordan is not playing in the World Cup this year just to contribute, just to do a good performance. We're coming for the World Cup final. We're coming for the final. Watch out for us, we're going to be the Black Horse."
