The first six refugees to be resettled in New Zealand under a landmark deal with Australia have arrived in Auckland

It’s the first resettlement deal offered by New Zealand in nine years when it offered to take 150 refugees from Australia’s offshore processing centres.

The first six refugees arrived from Naura on Tuesday afternoon local time.

It comes as Human Rights Watch pushes Australia to allow more than 30 children and 16 women to be returned from Syria to Australia.

In a new report, the group found that despite years of detention in life-threatening conditions with insufficient water and food, the children are doing well in school.

Many have also integrated back to life smoothly.

Many children repatriated from detention camps for Islamic State (ISIS) suspects and their families in northeast Syria are successfully reintegrating in their home countries, Human Rights Watch said in a report.

The 63-page report, “‘My Son is Just Another Kid’: Experiences of Children Repatriated from Camps for ISIS Suspects and Their Families in Northeast Syria,” documents the experiences of approximately 100 children who have been repatriated or returned to FranceGermanyKazakhstanthe NetherlandsSwedenthe United Kingdom, and Uzbekistan between 2019 and 2022.

Trump administration considers Qatari royal jet as potential temporary Air Force One, raising diplomatic and ethical concerns.


The Trump administration is reportedly in talks with Qatar to use a royal aircraft as a potential temporary Air Force One.

The jet — owned by the Qatari royal family — would be retrofitted for presidential use and could be offered as a gift during Trump’s term, with the possibility of it being used again as part of his future presidential library.

While no final decision has been made, the deal raises logistical, diplomatic, and ethical questions around foreign gifts, presidential travel, and how Trump may symbolically separate himself from traditional norms.

U.S. and China agree to major tariff cuts to 10% after Geneva talks, signaling a shift towards cooperation, though a 20% fentanyl-related tariff remains.


The U.S. and China have reached a major breakthrough, agreeing to sharply reduce tariffs following high-stakes meetings in Geneva.

President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese goods will drop from 125% to just 10%, while China will reciprocate by slashing its retaliatory tariffs on American exports to 10%.

However, a separate 20% tariff tied to China’s alleged role in the fentanyl trade will remain in place.

The move signals a clear shift from conflict to cooperation, after years of economic tension that rattled global markets.

U.S. stocks rebound as U.S.-China agree to cut tariffs, boosting market confidence and optimism over trade tensions.

In Short:
U.S. stocks rebounded significantly after an agreement between the U.S. and China to reduce tariffs. Major indices like the Dow and S&P 500 saw notable gains, driven by positive negotiations and increases in tech stocks.

U.S. stocks experienced a significant rebound on Monday after the U.S. and China reached an agreement to temporarily reduce tariffs following negotiations in Switzerland.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 1,113 points, or 2.6%, remaining strong throughout the session. The S&P 500 rose by 3%, marking over a 20% gain since its low in April amid tariff concerns. It has now reduced its year-to-date losses to 0.9%.

The Nasdaq Composite gained 4%, boosted by an increase in technology stocks linked to China, such as Tesla and Apple.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the talks with China as “very productive”. The U.S. has reduced tariffs on Chinese goods to 30%, while China has lowered tariffs on U.S. imports to 10%. Bessent indicated further meetings with Beijing representatives are anticipated in the coming weeks to work on a more comprehensive agreement.

Tesla shares rose by 6%, while Apple and Nvidia followed closely with increases of 6% and 5%, respectively. Companies heavily reliant on Chinese goods saw some of the largest gains, with Best Buy and Dell Technologies both increasing by 8%, and Amazon also rising by 8%.

Investment strategist Jeff Kilburg noted that market rallies were driven by investor surprise at the rapid progress of the tariff negotiations. Tensions between the U.S. and China had escalated sharply in April but recent developments have led to a recovery in stock prices.
