US President Donald Trump’s latest deal has been hailed as “a dramatic breakthrough for peace” but there was an awkward moment during the announcement.
As part of the agreement, Mr Trump has announced that Sudan will be removed from the US government’s list of state sponsors of terrorism.
“After decades of living under a brutal dictatorship, the people of Sudan are finally taking charge. The Sudanese transitional government has demonstrated its courage and commitment to combating terrorism, building its democratic institutions, and improving its relations with its neighbours,” the statement read.
“The United States and Israel also committed to working with their partners to support the people of Sudan in strengthening their democracy, improving food security, countering terrorism and extremism, and tapping into their economic potential.”

Trump: US Election a choice between a 'Trump boom' or a 'Biden lockdown' | Sky News AustraliaPresident Donald Trump says he will deliver a “very safe vaccine' during a campaign rally in Gastonia, North Carolina. \n\n'That’s coming very quickly,' he told the packed crowd. \n\n“That pandemic is rounding the corner. \n\n“They hate it when I say it.” \n\nMr Trump said all the “fake news CNN” talked about was COVID “because they want to scare the hell out of everyone”. \n\n“Normal life will fully resume and next year will be the greatest economic year in the history of our country, that’s where we’re headed,” he stated. \n\n“This election is a choice between a Trump super recovery or a Biden steep depression … it’s between a Trump boom or a Biden lockdown. \n\n“Biden will delay therapies, postpone the vaccine, prolong the pandemic, close your schools and shut down our country.” \n\n\n

Trump will win US election with 270-280 seats: Data analyst | Sky News AustraliaData Analyst Professor Bela Stantic says based on rigorous data analysis of millions of social media posts, he believes US President Donald Trump will win the US election, despite national polls suggesting Joe Biden will become president.\n\n'On September 18, I collected over four million tweets with 20 million likes and I did analysis and based on that analysis I concluded Trump is ahead and he will win with 270-280 seats.\n\n'Trump has 161 seats which are very firm and 19 which is sure, which brings him to 180. He, according to my analysis - which was on September 20 - he was just ahead in Florida, Iowa, North Carolina and Ohio, which gives him 68 seats.\n\n'He was likely to win Georgia, which took him to 264 and Pennsylvania, Arizona and Minnesota were a coin toss, so basically, on probability, it's likely he will win one of these three seats and that will take him to 270-280 seats.'\n\nMr Stantic said he would do a deeper analysis the week before the US election, having only performed a brief draft analysis, especially since President Trump became infected with COVID-19.\n\n'I did collect tweets from Florida a couple of days ago and saw he [Trump] was ahead than he was in September,' he said.\n\n'Usually, patterns hold across other seats and states so that means he probably even stronger than he was in September; I didn't see the situation with coronavirus influencing the outcome.'\n\nMr Stantic revealed he had correctly predicted every single seat during the 2019 Federal Election that saw Scott Morrison become Prime Minister.\n\n'I know nothing about politics... I basically analyse publicly available social media data and make my predictions,' he said.

US has 'lowest carbon emissions numbers in 35 years' under Trump administration | Sky News AustraliaPresident Donald Trump has boasted under his administration, America was able to achieve the cleanest water and freshest air, as well as the lowest carbon emissions numbers in 35 years. \n\nMr Trump said he had heard former president Barack Obama spruik the numbers, but not Joe Biden “because I’m not sure he knows what it represents or means'. \n\nThe presidential candidates were asked how they would address climate change while supporting jobs growth. \n\nPresident Trump responded he removed the US from the Paris Accord because it was unfair and would have destroyed American business. \n\n“When they put us in there they did us a great disservice, they took away our business,” he said. \n\n“I will not sacrifice tens of millions of jobs, thousands and thousands of companies because of the Paris Accord.” \n\nIn his response, Democratic nominee Joe Biden warned Americans climate change was “an existential threat to humanity”. \n\n“We have a moral obligation to deal with it and we‘re told by all the leading scientists in the world we don’t have much time,” Mr Biden said. \n\n“We’re going to pass the point of no return within the next eight to 10 years.”\n\nHe said under his presidency, 50,000 charging stations would be installed on US highways “so that we can own the electric car market of the future”. \n\n\n
