U.S. President Joe Biden calls for bipartisanship

Biden faces his classified documents scandal and investigations led by House Republicans into the border crisis and alleged corruption by the Biden family

All eyes will be on U.S. President Joe Biden as he delivers his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday evening.

The speech will be before a new Congress and a new House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, who will be sitting behind Biden.

This address comes as Biden is facing his classified documents scandal and investigations led by House Republicans into the crisis at the border and alleged corruption by the Biden family.

The Biden administration continues to face sky-high inflation and gas prices, an ever-growing border crisis, a national deficit and according to new polling a majority of American say they’re living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Another headline that has captured the spotlight is Biden’s handling of the infamous Chinese spy balloon with criticism levelled against the President for allowing the spy craft to enter U.S. airspace and travel across the country for a solid week.

Currently, the U.S. Navy is using sonar equipment to collect debris from the Atlantic Ocean from the spy craft and transporting it to an FBI lab for analysis.

It remains to be seen if the President will speak about this international incident or express a harder line against China.

Following President Biden’s SOTU, newly-elected Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been tapped to deliver the Republican response.

Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.

Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.

Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.

Greenland, Denmark assert Arctic island not for sale, emphasizing cooperation with the US on their own terms.


Greenland and Denmark have used high-level talks in Washington, D.C. to firmly restate that the Arctic island is not for sale, pushing back against long-standing US interest in the strategically vital territory.

Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.

Greenland’s government made clear it is open to closer cooperation with Washington, but only on its own terms, rejecting any suggestion of ownership or control.
