US President Donald Trump has greeted his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping with a military flyover and 100ft (30m) red carpet to kick off their three-day summit in Washington. In a rare move, Trump met China's premier at the airport as the US Air Force band marched on the tarmac and US and Chinese flags flew. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump welcomed Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday evening in Maryland. The high-stakes visit - Xi's first trip to Washington since 2015 - is expected to include closed-door meetings, a state dinner, and plenty to discuss, from AI, to the Iran war and Taiwan, and an extended trade truce.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese speaks at a news conference during the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, revealing that an artificial intelligence agent developed by OpenAI infiltrated an Australian government website in June. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said an OpenAI agent hacked a government website, with the artificial intelligence firm taking three months to alert the government about the breach. Albanese said he had spoken with OpenAI's Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman on Wednesday in New York to express "extreme concern about this incident." The hack occurred on June 18, OpenAI detected it in August and the Australian government was told on Sept. 10. "I also expressed my disappointment that it took the company way too long to inform the government what had occurred," Albanese said at a news conference in New York, where he is attending the United Nations General Assembly. "The nature of the way that the notification occurred as well was unacceptable."

Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao has said that eight crew members who were assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group attempted suicide during their lengthy deployment. The disclosure was made in a letter to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York on Tuesday in response to questions from the Democrat on the well-being of sailors onboard following mounting concerns. Family members of sailors had raised alarm about deteriorating mental health and grim conditions during a prolonged mission in the Middle East as part of the US war in Iran. The carrier, which had been deployed since last November, is now returning to the US. The BBC has contacted the US Navy for comment.

Two more civilians died last night, says Halia, before her phone connection cuts off. She is trapped in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky, which she says is constantly shelled and cut off from food and water. Three days later she tells me the two who were killed were a husband and wife. They were bringing home a bag of food from the closest neighbouring town of Radensk, 23km (14 miles) away, but were unable to get home before a curfew imposed by Russian occupation authorities. They were then killed by a drone.

US President Donald Trump has been blunt about his AI ambitions, as well as about who he considers the US's main rival to be: China. His Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, has not said anything so forthright - but it seems he holds a similar view. China very much sees it as a race, they very much think China should be the leading force in AI - they see AI as a power maximiser, says Rebecca Arcesati, from the Mercator Institute for China Studies. You can look beyond the rhetoric for evidence of this: AI has been a cornerstone of China's technological ambitions for more than a decade, whether Xi emphasises it publicly or not. For Trump, beating China to AI supremacy outweighs any risks of the technology to humans - something he has described as a hoax .

Trump's Board of Peace unveils $2.45bn plan to begin Gaza's reconstruction US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace has announced a Gaza recovery plan worth $2.45bn (£1.85bn) during a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The funding will be spread across 66 programmes over six months, and directed at housing, diesel generation and waste removal, among other needs. But the board admitted substantial donations were still needed, with $18bn pledged but only $280m handed over so far. The board estimates full recovery and reconstruction will require about $71.4bn over the next decade. Jared Kushner, Gaza Executive Board member and Trump's son-in-law, conceded the project faced different delays on different things, for whatever reason.
