Albanese staunch on under-16s social media ban and defence spending as possible Trump meeting looms

Discussions with US president on sidelines of G7 summit in Canada not yet locked in

Anthony Albanese has pledged not to back down on plans to ban under-16s from social media and force online giants to pay for Australian news – two key policies opposed by big tech companies with the ear of Donald Trump – ahead of his expected meeting with the US president next week.

The prime minister also declared that “Australia should decide what we spend on Australia’s defence”, shrugging off demands from the Trump administration to rapidly increase military spending, even as he kept open the option of budgeting more for new assets.

Los Angeles protests: Donald Trump deploys more National Guard troops and marines as disorder goes into fourth day

California says deployment of National Guard to LA over protests against immigration authorities is illegal

Good morning, Donald Trump has deployed more National Guard troops and marines to Los Angeles as protests in the city go into their fourth day. Here is what has happened overnight:

California said the deployment of the National Guard by Republican President Trump’s administration was illegal and violated the state’s sovereignty and federal law, according to a court filing of its lawsuit against the US government.

The US military is to temporarily deploy about 700 Marines to LA until more National Guard troops can arrive, marking another escalation in Trump’s response to street protests over his aggressive immigration policies. Marines were expected to reach Los Angeles on Monday night (LA time) or Tuesday morning.

Even as protests against raids by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stretched into a fourth day Monday in LA, city workers began a cleanup of graffiti and other weekend damage across the city.

The Trump administration vowed to intensify migrant raids, with US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pledging to carry out even more operations to round up suspected immigration violators, extending a crackdown that provoked the protests.
