President Trump has said he will impose additional 100% import tariffs on Chinese goods by next month, and put export controls on any and all critical software. He said this was in response to China placing new restrictions on exports of crucial rare earth minerals. The news led to US stock markets registering their biggest one-day fall in months. Also: Palestinians in Gaza returning to their homes following the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas say they've been shocked by the scale of destruction; the French president, Emmanuel Macron, has reappointed Sebastien Lecornu as prime minister, just four days after he resigned from the role; the green turtle has been rescued from the brink of extinction in what scientists are calling a major conservation victory.
