Donald Trump experiences ‘Biden moment' after viral stumble up Air Force One stairs
Sky News host Caleb Bond has reacted to a clip of Donald Trump's so-called 'Biden moment' where the US President appeared to stumble up the steps of Air Force One.
'There he goes, he nearly fell, but he rights himself,' he said.
'He did a slightly better job, it should be said, than Biden; of course, you will remember this footage when, well, he basically fell over every time he tried to hit the steps.
'I am waiting – and I am sure it will come eventually – for the anti-Trump people to tune this out and say, 'look, here's proof that Donald Trump can't make his way up the stairs. He's just as bad as Joe Biden'.'

The US and China thrashed out their trade fight for 20 hours. Here's what they agreed to
Singapore: US officials said Chinese restrictions on the export of critical rare earth minerals and magnets had been resolved under a preliminary deal to resurrect a fragile trade truce struck in Geneva last month. Emerging from two days of intense discussions in London, US and Chinese negotiators said they had reached a new framework committing to the original trade deal struck on May 12, which almost unravelled in a dispute over China's export curbs on rare earths and US controls on technology sales. The new agreement still needs to be signed off by both US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Both sides offered few concrete details about what had been brokered over almost 20 hours of discussions. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the framework would put 'meat on the bones' of the original deal, and that the dispute over rare earths would be resolved as a 'fundamental' part of the new agreement. Loading 'We have reached a framework to implement the Geneva consensus and the call between the two presidents,' Lutnick said after the talks wrapped up on Tuesday evening in London. 'The idea is we're going to go back and speak to President Trump and make sure he approves it.' China's Vice Commerce Minister Li Chenggang also said a trade framework had been reached that would be taken back to US and Chinese leaders for approval.

Ukraine says Russian strikes hit Kharkiv, killing two
Fresh Russian strikes on Ukraine's northeastern city of Kharkiv killed two people and wounded 54 including children early Wednesday, authorities said, as Moscow pushed ahead with its relentless attacks after rejecting an unconditional ceasefire. "Seventeen strikes by enemy UAVs (drones) were carried out in two districts of the city tonight," Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov said on Telegram, later adding that 37 people were wounded and "several people were rescued from houses engulfed in flames". The State Emergency Service of Ukraine said eight children were wounded in the attack. Russia has escalated its bombardments of Ukraine despite US President Donald Trump urging Moscow to end its three-year invasion, with Kyiv launching retaliatory attacks deep inside Russian territory. After a previous overnight barrage of more than 300 drones and seven missiles on Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged Kyiv's Western allies to respond with "concrete action". "Action from America, which has the power to force Russia into peace. Action from Europe, which has no alternative but to be strong," Zelensky wrote on social media. Peace talks in Turkey last week failed to yield a breakthrough towards ending the conflict, with Russia rejecting calls for an unconditional ceasefire and demanding Ukraine give up its territory and bid to join NATO. But the two sides agreed to swap more than 1,000 prisoners of war and hand over the bodies of dead soldiers, swapping groups of captured soldiers on Monday and Tuesday. - Prisoner exchanges - Kharkhiv, which lies less than 50 kilometres (31 miles) from the Russian border, has been hit by a surge in large-scale nighttime attacks over the past week. Wednesday's strikes left a five-story building on fire in Slobidskyi district, while several houses were hit in Osnovyansky district, Mayor Terekhov said. He said "there may be people trapped under the rubble". The attack came after Russia pummelled the city on Saturday in what Terekhov called "the most powerful attack" on Kharkiv since the start of the war. Four people were killed and more than 50 wounded as homes and apartment blocks were hit overnight and guided bombs were dropped on the city on Saturday afternoon. Ukraine is also stepping up its drone attacks on Russia, targeting military production and bases. On Tuesday, one person was killed and four others wounded in a drone attack that destroyed a convenience store in the Russian region of Belgorod, according to Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov. Nevertheless, the two sides carried out a second prisoner of war swap on Tuesday. The deal should see the freeing of all captured soldiers under the age of 25, as well as those who are sick or severely wounded, though neither side has specified the number of soldiers involved. But Zelensky has said it is "pointless" to hold further talks with the current Russian delegation -- who he previously dismissed as "empty heads" -- since they could not agree to a ceasefire. As a condition for halting its invasion, Russia has demanded that Ukraine cede the territories Moscow says it has annexed and forswear joining NATO. It has also rejected a proposed 30-day unconditional ceasefire sought by Kyiv and the European Union, arguing that this would allow Ukrainian forces to rearm with Western deliveries. Ukraine is demanding a complete Russian withdrawal of from its territory and security guarantees from the West.
