Donald Trump has become just the third president of the United States to be impeached. After 10 hours of debate the house of representatives —lawmakers there — voted mostly along party lines to charge Mr Trump.

China's ambassador to Australia has dismissed as 'fake news' international concerns about his country's persecution of an ethnic minority group. United Nations experts and human rights organisations estimate more than a million people have been detained in China's north-west, most of them ethnic Uyghurs who practice Islam. China's ambassador in Canberra, says there has been a security crack-down, but denies there are mass detentions of Uyghurs.

中国驻澳大利亚大使驳斥称，国际社会对中国迫害一个少数民族感到担忧，但这完全是假新闻。联合国专家和人权组织估计，中国西北部地区有100余万人被拘留，其中大多数是信仰伊斯兰教的维吾尔族人。中国驻堪培拉大使表示，中国在该地区进行了为确保安全的专项行动，但否认大规模拘留维吾尔族人。
