It might still be early in Trump's second term, but he's already positioning himself as a dealmaker on the world stage; from brokering peace between nations to preparing for a historic summit with Putin in Alaska this week.

But with Ukraine's leader notably absent from the Putin meeting, and tensions escalating in Gaza, we're asking whether Trump's legacy as a peacemaker is actually working or if some conflict resolutions remain out of reach.

And in headlines today US President Donald Trump is deploying 800 National Guard troops to Washington DC, and putting the city's police department under federal control; Australia has been urged to go further than recognising a Palestinian state by following up with sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel; Prince Harry and Meghan have extended their partnership with Netflix with a multi-year, first-look deal including another series and Christmas special of With Love Meghan; Lifeblood are hoping a little bit of sibling rivalry will help increase their blood and plasma supplies, encouraging middle children to step out from the shadows of their over achieving older siblings and extroverted younger ones to roll up a sleeve
