Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. intends to invest $100 billion in chip manufacturing plants in the U.S. over the next four years under a plan  by President Trump

President Zelenskyy today announced ‘an agreement to end the war is still very, very far away and no one has started all these steps yet’.

President Trump replied “this is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelensky, and America will not put up with it much longer! Itis like what I was saying, this guy does not want there to be peace as long as it has American backing and Europe, in the meeting they had today with Zelensky stated flatly that they cannot do the job without the U.S - Probably not a great statement to have been made in terms of a show of strength against Russia. What are they thinking?

Zelensky has doubled down on his desire to resign if Ukraine is allowed into NATO, which signals the impossible outcome that he was likely put up to by the Military Industrial Complex in the first place, that would be their impossible last step. However, the opposite may actually happen, that the U.S under Trump may actually pull his country out of it, collapsing the alliance. But for Trump to do that, he would need a peace deal with Russia first.

A war of words has broken out amongst Obama advisor Susan Rice who accuses Trump of screwing up and embarrassing the US after also being accused of coaching Zelensky which she denied.

In Australia, Peter Dutton announced a shares sale on the day the country was warned of a “national economic emergency”, it can be revealed. Last week, News.com.au revealed the Liberal leader declared he had bought shares in the big three banks on January 23 2009 - the day before the Rudd Government announced a $4 billion Ruddbank plan. Those shares went on to surge by 20 per cent.

Mr Dutton’s register of interests has now confirmed the day he told Parliament he had sold the Commonwealth Bank shares, ten days after the initial declaration, was also noteworthy.

The Liberal leader has explained his share market activity as a sign of his “astute” investments and “honest and transparent” conduct. He has declined to reveal any information about the volume of shares he bought or exactly when he bought them.

Under parliamentary guidelines he’s not required to disclose the exact date. The only stipulation is that you update Parliament of a share trade within 30 days.

That means while the period he bought the shares is broadly known, the exact day he bought them and the volume or value of shares he bought is unknown.

That’s important because it goes to whether or not his buy ups and sell offs coincided with major announcements or were potentially made days earlier.

Even if they did, Mr Dutton maintains he has never had access to “sensitive information” when he was buying up or when he was offloading the shares and as such any suggestion he bought the shares with political insider information is way off base.

A cyclone watch has been issued for the first time since 1990 in NSW, as residents are warned Tropical Cyclone Alfred could bring “damaging” wind, waves and the potential for “intense” rainfall.

The peak of the system will hit early on Friday – when Alfred makes landfall – and possibly continue into Saturday.

It’s currently hundreds of kilometres out to sea but during Tuesday is expected to take a swerve towards Australia heading between Brisbane and the Sunshine Cast with affected areas including Byron Bay and the Gold Coast.

But, the BOM has cautioned, the cyclone’s track could change and anywhere between Sandy Cape in Queensland and Grafton in New South Wales is at risk.
