The attacker, Zyla Butler, was also injured and had to undergo surgery.

The man killed in a shark attack while spearfishing off Rottnest Island has been identified as father-of-two Steven Mattaboni.

The 38-year-old died on Saturday after he was attacked by what's believed to be a white shark near Horseshoe Reef, off the island near Perth.

Mattaboni, from Perth, had been in the water with friends when the shark attacked about 20 metres from their boat.

His mates pulled him on board and rushed him to the nearest jetty at Geordie Bay as paramedics prepared to respond.

Despite CPR from his friends and emergency crews, he could not be saved.

"His friends have actually witnessed the horrific event," Sergeant Michael Wear said on Saturday.

"The victim was on the surface at the time, about 20 metres away from the vessel."

"Certainly quite horrific scenes for all involved, and all emergency services that were there did a fantastic job."

Authorities said Mattaboni suffered serious injuries to both lower legs.

Surf Life Saving WA later confirmed a five-metre white shark was seen about 80 metres offshore on Sunday morning, as patrols continued around the island.

Rottnest Island beaches have remained open following the attack, with shark experts maintaining that the overall risk to swimmers and surfers remains low.

Dr Daryl McPhee told Today the incident occurred a considerable distance offshore.

"I'd be more concerned if the bite occurred right on the beach, but its a long way off shore," he said.

The island, a popular tourist destination off Perth known for its beaches and quokka population, can be reached by ferry from the mainland.

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development has been notified and is working with local authorities following the fatal attack.

Australia recorded the highest number of fatal shark attacks in the world last year, according to figures released by the International Shark Attack File in February.

Five people died in shark attacks in Australian waters in 2025, with great white sharks linked to several of the incidents.

The school community is in shock after the principal suffered a ‘sudden medical event’.

A man has been banned from all Qantas flights after allegedly biting a crew member on a flight from Melbourne to the United States, forcing the flight to divert to Tahiti.

The plane was forced to land in Papeete, Tahiti, where local authorities came on board the aircraft and arrested the passenger.

The plane was refuelled and able to complete its journey to Dallas, while the passenger has been banned from all Qantas Group flights, which includes Jetstar.

It's understood the incident occurred aboard flight QF21, an 18-hour journey, with a screen in the video indicating there were still nearly 11 hours left of the journey at the time of the disruption.

Fellow passengers reportedly rushed to assist the airline crew during the confrontation, and no serious injuries were caused.

Segments of the apparent exchange were caught on camera by comedian Mike Goldstein, who was on the flight to Dallas-Fort Worth and shared a video on Instagram.

His video showed a passenger emerging from a bathroom and arguing with flight attendants about his behaviour.

The passenger was stumbling, slurring his words, and repeatedly swearing at crew members and other passengers.

"There's kids around everywhere and you're acting immature," one flight attendant appeared to tell the passenger.

"You have to behave yourself, you're on a plane."

The passenger expressed some confusion at the fact that he was on a plane, and asked one flight attendant if he was "smoking any weed".

"I was just about to walk out for a cigarette," the passenger said.

Goldstein's video shows the passenger appearing to become more aggressive when he is told to go to the back of the plane.

According to a post on X by Air Nav Radar, the passenger allegedly bit a crew member, though this has not been confirmed by the airline or by authorities.

"The safety of our customers and our crew is our number one priority," a Qantas spokesperson told 9News.com.au.

"We have zero tolerance for disruptive or threatening behaviour on our flights."

The flight ultimately arrived at its Dallas-Fort Worth destination several hours late on Saturday morning Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).

The Sydney Morning Herald has reported that the passenger involved is not an Australian national.

The Australian Federal Police have been contacted for comment.

The mid-air disruption follows a string of recent high-profile incidents on domestic routes. 

Just last month, a 45-year-old Queanbeyan man was charged by the AFP after allegedly kicking a flight attendant and biting a fellow passenger on a Canberra to Perth flight. 

Similarly, in January, a 52-year-old Canberra woman was escorted off a flight at Perth Airport and charged after allegedly behaving erratically and forcibly grabbing a flight attendant's arm and head.

At the time of the previous incidents, AFP Acting Superintendent Hayley Faithfull reiterated that the agency works closely with airline partners to intervene in cases of aggressive or antisocial behaviour that poses a direct threat to crew or public safety.

Reuben Lambie set fire to a packed hostel in Perth, killing a mother-of-three.

A massive police presence has swarmed on the streets of London to ensure that two rival marches, attended by tens of thousands, and the climax of the FA Cup unfolded without major incident.

In what's been described as a "significant public order policing operation," London's Metropolitan Police deployed at least 4000 officers, armoured vehicles, horses, dogs, drones and helicopters.

Most concerns focused on central London, where police sought to prevent any interaction between the two major demonstrations.

Watch the video above.

One march was organised by far-right activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson.

The other was the annual Nakba Day demonstration, which commemorates the 1948 exodus of around 700,000 Palestinians from what is now Israel.

Police remain on guard for any splinter groups coming into contact, and for any trouble following the conclusion of the FA Cup final, which was attended by more than 83,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.

As of this morning, police said 43 people were arrested for a variety of offences. A further 22 were arrested at the FA Cup final, where Manchester City beat Chelsea.

Police said four officers were assaulted, none seriously, while a further six were subjected to hate crime offences.

The marches took place at a particularly radicalised time in British politics, with the extremes on the right and the left advancing across the UK in last week's elections.

Protesters are driven by a range of grievances. Many are angry about the number of would-be asylum-seekers making the dangerous crossing across the English Channel from the French coast to the UK in small boats.

Others are protesting Israel's actions in Gaza, which have devastated the Palestinian enclave and, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, killed more than 72,700 people.

Prosecutors have been told to consider whether protest placards, banners and chants viewed on social media may amount to offences of stirring up hatred during the rallies.

"This is not about restricting free speech," said the Crown Prosecution Service's director, Stephen Parkinson. "It is about preventing hate crime and protecting the public, particularly at a time of heightened tensions."

The British government also blocked 11 foreign nationals from entering the country for the "Unite the Kingdom" rally.

Right-wing figures claiming to have been barred include Polish politician Dominik Tarczynski, Belgian politician Filip Dewinter, anti-Islam commentator Valentina Gomez and Dutch activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek.

"We will block those coming into the UK who seek to incite hatred and violence," said Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is fighting for his political life following those disastrous election results earlier this month.

"For anyone who sets out to wreak havoc on our streets, to intimidate or threaten anyone, you can expect to face the full force of the law."

On Friday, Starmer visited the Metropolitan Police command centre to discuss policing arrangements for the rallies alongside Met Commissioner Mark Rowley and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Live facial recognition will be used for the first time in a protest policing operation.

Cameras have been set up in the north London neighbourhood of Camden, which is not on the route of the "Unite the Kingdom" march but is expected to be used by many people attending the event.

Several suspects are still on the run after pelting rocks at a bus on the Gold Coast, causing it to crash into a tree.

The passenger bus, which had a driver and five people on board, was the target of several people on e-bikes who threw rocks at it just before 11.30pm last night on Teemangum Street in Currumbin.

This caused the driver to lose control, and the bus left the road and collided head on with a tree.

None of the passengers were injured, but the female bus driver was taken to hospital as a precaution.

Police are investigating the incident and are still searching for the people involved.

The company that runs the bus said it was appalled by the act of violence, and that drivers did not deserve the kind of abuse they faced.

"This was a deeply distressing incident for the bus driver and passengers involved, and we are in contact with those affected to offer our support," Kinetic executive general manager for south-east Queensland Tom Kinsey said in a statement.

"Attacks on our drivers and passengers are completely unacceptable. We strongly condemn any behaviour that puts the safety of our drivers, the passengers on board and the community at risk."

Anyone who witnessed the crash, or has any CCTV or dashcam footage is urged to come forward.

US President Donald Trump's visit to China this week may have been short on immediate deals addressing frictions over tech and trade. But there's little question that Chinese leader Xi Jinping will be viewing it as a resounding success.

Beijing didn't need big tangible outcomes to achieve major wins, like projecting China as an equal to the US on the global stage, and directing the tone of the relationship – including around Taiwan.

Trump's visit appears to have delivered on both.

WORLD: Maldives suspends search for four bodies in underwater cave after military diver dies

The hours the two leaders spent together over Trump's three-day stay were full of great-power bonhomie and effusive praise from the American president, who called the US-China relationship one of the "most consequential" in world history.

Even before the two sat down for talks, Trump told Xi he was sure the countries would have a "fantastic future". Later over a state banquet, the US president said good relations between the two could create a "future of greater prosperity" for the world – a sentiment that jibed with Xi's own toast.

All those soundbites and pats on the back created a fitting backdrop for China's announcement of a new era of "constructive strategic stability" between the two powers – one focused on co-operation and managed competition, rather than the volatile rivalry of last year.

BREAKING: Four people fighting for life after driver plows into pedestrians in Italy

And the Chinese leader used his face time with Trump to make one thing very clear: the main thing that could derail a good rapport was Taiwan — China's most important "red line" issue.

If Washington doesn't handle that issue well, Xi told Trump on the visit's first day, the entire US-China relationship will be put in "great jeopardy". Beijing claims the self-ruling democracy as its own territory and opposes the US' robust unofficial ties with Taipei.

Comments Trump gave reporters on his return trip aboard Air Force One suggest the president at the very least heard out Xi's concerns, including over the US' regular arms sales to Taiwan. They discussed the subject in "great detail," Trump said, adding that he would "make a determination" on arms sales to the island soon.

Optics as outcome

China's diplomats were well aware of the opportunity the trip afforded them.

They carefully crafted a spectacle of pomp and pageantry, calibrated to impress Trump, from a military gun salute to a rare trip inside the secretive Communist Party leadership compound known as Zhongnanhai.

And the US president reflected back just the kind of optics that China's foreign policy establishment will relish. Trump arrived in Beijing with a phalanx of top American CEOs, who Trump told Xi were there to "pay their respect" to Xi and to China.

Being granted such deference by the leader of the world's most powerful country speaks volumes about Beijing's own status. That plays well for Xi domestically and abroad, where he aims to project China as an alternative leader to the US.

Xi is also expected to remain in the headlines next week as Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to visit China in the coming days.

A predictable relationship with the US also buys Beijing time to continue its rise across technological, military and geopolitical fronts. US tech controls and tariffs – like those at the center of a tit-for-tat US-China trade war last year – can upend supply chains and hurt companies, slowing that momentum.

That's true for the US too, which learned just how powerful China's leverage is over the world's supply of processed rare earths, when Beijing tightened its grip on these strategically critical materials to fight US tariffs last year.

While the White House's official readout didn't repeat Xi's "constructive, strategic stability" phraseology, top American diplomat Marco Rubio told NBC News in an interview from Beijing that the US agreed with China's emphasis on this "so that we don't have misunderstandings that can lead to broader conflict."

To be sure, a stable US-China relationship can have positive effects for the global economy, just as its frictions can upend trade.

But how that "strategic stability" is defined could also give China license to dispute US actions that it doesn't see as supporting that stability, especially when it comes to the trade and tech issues that raised tensions last year.

Taiwan talk

The takeaway that Beijing is sure to be most focused on in the wake of the trip is around Taiwan.

China's Communist Party has never controlled Taiwan but views the island as an integral part of its territory. Absorbing it into China, by force if necessary, is central to Beijing's vision for its "national rejuvenation" by 2049.

Xi didn't appear to miss a beat in making this point, even subtly. In his toast welcoming Trump to the banquet, the Chinese leader didn't mention Taiwan but drew a parallel between Trump's "Make America Great Again" ethos and his own vision of a "great rejuvenation".

Trump told Fox News' Bret Baier in an interview that aired Friday night that "nothing has changed" about the United States' policy toward Taiwan during the trip. He also said, however, that the two had "talked the whole night about that issue" – and he leaned into China's view that Taiwan's ruling party seeks independence.

"I will say this: I'm not looking to have somebody go independent, and you know we're supposed to travel 9500 miles to fight a war. I'm not looking for that. I want them to cool down. I want China to cool down," Trump said.

The current ruling party in Taipei backs Taiwan's sovereignty, but its policy does not seek to change the status quo by declaring independence.

Under the "One China" policy, the US acknowledges China's position that Taiwan is part of China but has never officially recognized the Communist Party's claim to the island.

How the US handles its unofficial relationship with Taiwan has long been a sticking point for Beijing, which is now watching closely whether Trump advances a US$14 billion ($19.5 billion) arms deal with the island. Congress approved the deal back in January.

In the Fox News interview, Trump said he was holding that deal "in abeyance" and that it "depends on China … it's a very good negotiating chip."

As he flew back to the US, Trump also told reporters aboard Air Force One that he and Xi discussed arms sales to Taiwan "in great detail" and that he would make a decision about arms sales "over the next early short period of time."

A pause on this deal would mark a significant win for China.

The US is bound by law to provide Taiwan with weapons for its defence. A 1982 US assurance to Taiwan says the US does not have a policy of consulting with Beijing on arms sales. When asked about that stance on Friday, Trump quipped that the 1980s was "a long way."

In the hours after Trump left Beijing, China too weighed in with its own read on the situation.

"We sensed during the meeting that the US side understands China's position and attaches importance to China's concerns, and … does not support or accept Taiwan moving toward independence," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told reporters, according to state media.

His statement also made another announcement: confirmation that Xi had accepted Trump's invitation to visit the US in the fall – opening up the next major touchpoint, potentially, for the two leaders to extend their period of goodwill.
