Taiwan’s representative to the United States, Alexander Yui, has urged Washington to deliver a delayed $14 billion weapons package, arguing that strengthening the island’s defences is essential to deterring Chinese aggression.

His comments came after Mr Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping and said Taiwan had been mentioned but had not been a major subject of discussion. Mr Yui said Taiwan was absent…

The arrests followed a report from a farmer who said she saw three white vans blocking a rural road and a group of masked men scattering into fields and towards the airbase in the early hours of Sunday. She drove away before contacting police and warning neighbours in a local WhatsApp group to lock their doors. The men were detained less than 25 minutes later, with…

The US economy is continuing to grow faster than the cost of servicing its debt, but rising Treasury yields are increasing the risk of a debt spiral if that advantage disappears. Inflation-adjusted growth has been running at about 2%, while nominal growth is above 6%. That remains higher than the 5.16% yield on the 10-year Treasury, which has risen by more than a percentage point since the war in Iran began. The gap has helped the economy absorb the impact of Donald Trump’s tariffs and the conflict in Iran, while continuing to expand at a robust pace. Federal Reserve policymakers…

Alyssa Thompson’s goal gave Chelsea a 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, ending the Gunners’ 20-match unbeaten run in the Women’s Super League. Arsenal made the stronger start but were unable to turn their early pressure into a lead. Kim Little and Mariona Caldentey both struck the post before Chelsea found the breakthrough. Anneke Borbe initially kept out Keira Walsh’s effort from distance, but Thompson reacted quickest to the rebound and finished emphatically from inside the box. Arsenal improved after the interval, with Chloe Kelly’s angled drive blocked and Alessia Russo seeing a shot charged down. Chelsea defended the…

Australian interest rates are expected to rise to 4.6 per cent this week as politicians argue over whether overseas conflict or government spending is driving persistent inflation. The Reserve Bank of Australia will begin a two-day meeting on Monday, with its decision due on Tuesday. The increase would take borrowing costs to their highest level in 15 years.
