Rapper Travis Scott has performed his first concert since the Astroworld tragedy, which left 10 people dead

The rapper hit the stage at the E11EVEN nightclub in Miami, as part of Formula 1 race week celebrations.

The 31-year-old reportedly arrived at 3am, took the microphone and performed in front of the sold out crowd.

He also took a bottle of tequila onto the stage and encouraged fans to take shots.

Before the performance, he had only made appearances at private parties, including before the Oscars and a Coachella afterparty.

It follows the Astroworld event in Houston last November, where fans were crushed in the crowd.

It left 25 people hospitalised and 300 treated at the scene.

Scott faces several lawsuits in relation to the event.

Albanese distances from Chalmers’ tax proposal on superannuation, amid rising concerns over voter sentiment and retirement savings.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has moved to distance himself from Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ proposal to increase taxes on high-balance superannuation accounts, signalling internal caution as cost-of-living pressures remain front of mind for voters.

The rejection highlights growing sensitivity around retirement savings, with critics warning that changes to super could undermine confidence in the system and spark broader political fallout ahead of future budget negotiations.

As debate continues inside government, questions remain over how Australia balances revenue needs without alienating voters or destabilising long-term savings policy.

U.S. vows to defend Ukraine, seeks Senate approval; Berlin talks advance peace while weighing sovereignty against conflict resolution.

The United States has pledged to protect Ukraine from future Russian attacks, signaling strong support for European security. Washington will also seek Senate approval for its proposed role in the region, highlighting its commitment to defending allies and deterring further aggression.

In Berlin, talks between U.S., Ukrainian, and European leaders have reportedly made significant progress, with discussions focusing on security guarantees and potential frameworks for a peace deal with Russia. Territorial concessions remain a major sticking point, with negotiators carefully weighing Ukraine’s sovereignty against the urgency of ending the conflict.

U.S. officials emphasize that while they hope for a resolution by year-end, they are not applying undue pressure on Ukraine. Proposed security guarantees could include weapons provisions and monitoring mechanisms, echoing NATO’s collective defense commitments, in an effort to strengthen Ukraine’s negotiating position.
