Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Bali

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has met with his Chinese counterpart in what is being described as a “positive” encounter.

Albanese told Xi Australia wants to work with China, in the interests of both countries and regional peace.

“Very constructive … a warm discussion”.

It follows a tumultuous time between the two nations regarding a number of issues, including trade agreements, the origins of Covid-19 and reports of Beijing’s human rights violations.

The Australian PM refused to ignore his countries previous complaints with Beijing on these fronts.

On China’s trade embargo on Australia, Albanese explained this meeting was never meant for finding a resolution.

“If people thought that would happen (today) then that’s not realistic…

We put forward our position and he said that we have highly complimentary economies, so we used similar language.”

The meeting spanned 32 minutes as the G20 summit continues in Indonesia.

The Australia-China relationship may be putting their differences aside, as they look to a more prosperous future, in the best interest of both nations.

During the previous Morrison government in Australia, relations had soured. However, Xi is now sounding much more optimistic about the country down under.

“In the past few years, China-Australia relations have encountered some difficulties, which we didn’t want to see, because both China and Australia are important countries in the Asia-Pacific region…

We should improve, maintain and develop the relations between the two countries, which is in the fundamental interests of the two peoples and conducive to promoting the development of peace in the Asia-Pacific region and the world.”

Ukraine war

When it came to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Albanese encouraged Xi use his relationship to influence Russia when it comes to nuclear weapons.

“Specifically about Russia’s threat to use tactical nuclear weapons…

I noted that China had called that out and that is a good thing.”

Human rights violations

Australia has long condemned China when it comes to allegations of human rights abuses within the country, particularly against the Uyghur population.

The Australian leader “put forward the differences we have on human rights issues” specifically regarding detained Australian journalist Cheng Lei.

Albanese also reaffirmed Australia’s stance on Taiwan and worsening climate change too.

Trump confirms U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear sites amid rising tensions; Israel intensifies operations, Iran vows to continue enrichment, and Houthi militants threaten U.S. shipping.


President Trump has confirmed that U.S. forces successfully struck three nuclear facilities in Iran – Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan – with all aircraft safely exiting Iranian airspace. The mission, involving B-2 stealth bombers, comes amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Meanwhile, Israel has intensified its military operations, killing three top Iranian military leaders and striking a major nuclear facility in Isfahan. The Israeli chief of staff warned the operation may lead to a prolonged and complex war.

Iran responded by vowing to continue uranium enrichment and said talks with the U.S. are off the table unless Israel halts its attacks. In a parallel move, Houthi militants threatened U.S. and commercial ships in the Red Sea if American strikes continue in support of Israel.

Adding to the volatility, an Iranian drone hit northern Israel, with the IDF confirming the incident—though no casualties were reported. The U.S. State Department is now organising flights to evacuate Americans from Israel.

Trump announces successful U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, while Israel intensifies its military campaign against Iranian leadership.

In Short:
President Trump announced U.S. strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, confirming all aircraft left Iranian airspace after the operation. Meanwhile, Israel ramped up its military actions against Iran, leading to warnings from Iranian officials and Houthi militants regarding potential escalations.

President Trump announced on Saturday that the United States had successfully completed strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

In a social media post, he confirmed all U.S. aircraft had exited Iranian airspace following the operation.

This military action was preceded by the deployment of stealth B-2 bombers from Missouri, capable of carrying the GBU-57 bunker buster, a powerful weapon considered effective against the Fordow uranium-enrichment facility.

Trump had earlier indicated to senior aides that he approved attack plans for Iran, awaiting Tehran’s decision on its nuclear program.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military intensified its operations against Iranian military leaders and nuclear sites, announcing the elimination of three senior Iranian figures and strikes on the Isfahan facility. Israel’s military chief warned of a potentially prolonged conflict, describing it as the nation’s most complex military undertaking.

In response, Iranian officials stated their refusal to halt uranium enrichment and indicated that negotiations with the U.S. would only occur if Israel ceased its attacks.

Additionally, the U.S. State Department announced the initiation of flights to facilitate the return of American citizens from Israel.

Houthi militants also issued a warning to target U.S. and commercial vessels in the Red Sea should American attacks in support of Israel commence.

Amidst this, an Iranian drone attack recently damaged a building in northern Israel, marking an acknowledged drone strike by the Israeli military during the ongoing conflict. No casualties were reported from the incident.
