Donald Trump lays out a red-carpet welcome for Xi Jinping and gives him a tour of the White House. Did Trump’s change of tact and granite diplomacy impress his best frenemy? Ethiopia descends into civil war, which risks pulling neighbouring countries into the fighting. We take a look at the bizarre terror plot in the UK that may not be all it seems. And Anthony Albanese tries to stir up an AI hornet’s nest of regulation at the UN — will the OpenAI Medicare hack revelation make anyone take any notice? Plus, Cape Town’s nightmare neighbours: baboons.
