An investigation has revealed allegations of brutal force in an Australian youth detention centre

An investigation by ABC’s Four Corners program, has uncovered allegations of excessive force and brutal treatment at an Australian youth detention centre in Western Australia.

The Banksia Hill facility sees more than 600 children locked up every year. Many of whom are young indigenous children, who suffer from mental illness.

The investigation has released body-cam video footage of children being kept in unlawful confinement and exposed to brutal force.

One indigenous boy told the program, “you’re in white people’s hands,” at the Banksia facility.

Trump declares new trade deal with China “done,” featuring rare earth material supply and China retaining student visas, pending Xi’s approval.

President Donald Trump says a new trade deal with China is “done,” following intense negotiations in London.

The agreement includes China’s pledge to supply critical rare earth materials to U.S. companies, while the U.S. will drop plans to revoke Chinese student visas.

The deal still awaits final approval from President Xi Jinping, but it could mark a turning point after months of tariff tensions.
