Three police officers have been killed and two injured in a shooting in the southern part of Pennsylvania, US police say.

The shooting erupted in the area of North Codorus Township, about 185km west of Philadelphia, not far from the Maryland line, authorities said.

“The grief will be unbearable but we will bear it,” Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Christopher Paris said at a news conference.

“We will not rest until we conduct a full, fair and competent investigation into this matter.”

York Hospital said it was treating two people in serious condition and had enhanced security protocols are in place.

“We grieve for the loss of life of three precious souls who served this county, served this commonwealth, served this country,” Governor Josh Shapiro said.

"This kind of violence is not OK, we need to do better as a society.”

Attorney General Pamela Bondi called the violence against police “a scourge on our society".

She said federal agents were on the scene to support local officers.

“Please send prayers to the officers and those involved in the shooting in York County,” Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis said in a social media post.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said he was also on the scene. Sunday said on social media he urges “all residents to follow the instructions of local law enforcement” and he is “praying for all involved”.

A local school district issued a shelter-in-place order, though it said schools and students were not involved in the shooting.

The order was lifted later in the afternoon.

The district said in a statement that authorities “advised us to hold students and staff in our buildings as a precaution while several area roads are closed”.

The medical response unfolded on a rural road in south-central Pennsylvania that winds through an agricultural area with a barn and farm fields.

Police have not provided any details about who was involved in the shooting.

Officers were keeping people well back from the scene in the area’s rolling farmland, with some 30 police vehicles blocking off roads bordered by a barn, a goat farm and soybean and corn fields.

“Pennsylvania State Police, Northern Regional Police and numerous emergency responders are at the scene. The York County Commissioners are monitoring the situation closely and praying for all those involved," the county said in a statement.

An officer in the area was killed in February, when a man armed with a pistol and zip ties entered a hospital’s intensive care unit and took staff members hostage before a shootout that left both the suspect and an officer dead.

Melissa initially blamed her irritating symptoms on stress from her divorce.

The mum from Bathurst in NSW, then aged 30, was suffering from back pain and morning nausea and, as a single mother of two young children, she was programmed to ignore it.

"At 3am, I started to feel sick, I just thought I had gastro," Melissa told 9news.com.au.

"To be honest, I'd been in my job three months, so I didn't want my employer thinking I was having a long weekend, so I'd gone to the doctor to get a doctor's certificate."

Visiting her GP that day may have been what saved Melissa's life.

She was taken to the hospital for some blood tests after feeling light-headed, and by 2pm that afternoon, she had an unexpected diagnosis.

Melissa's pain was caused by a solid pseudo-papillary mass, a rare pancreatic tumour.

"It was the size of a large grapefruit, so it had sort of started to crush other organs, opposed to reaching out like other cancers do to the organs, so it wasn't spreading," Melissa explained.

The tumour was located at the head of her pancreas.

Her doctor said if it was sitting anywhere else, she would have had "two and a half weeks to live".

US President Donald Trump received a royal reception at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, but beyond the castle walls there were many who did not welcome his unprecedented second state visit.

Thousands of people marched through central London to protest his trip, which includes a lavish banquet in his honour hosted by King Charles III and a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Carrying banners reading "No to the racism, no to Trump," about 3000 people headed down Regent Street on their way to Parliament.

Some carried small versions of the giant Trump baby blimp, an orange-tinted caricature of the blond-quaffed leader in a diaper, that made a big impression during his first visit in June 2019.

Others carried signs reading "No to Trump, no to fascism" and "Dump Trump."

The crowd booed a counter protester who held a sign that read "We Love Trump".

The number of people participating in the march was much smaller than six years ago, when Trump visited London during his first term.

This visit almost entirely avoids the capital by holding royal ceremonies at Windsor, a historic town about 32 kilometres to the west, and at Chequers, the prime minister's country estate where Trump will meet with Starmer on Thursday.

Trump and first lady Melania took a helicopter to Windsor Castle, where they were greeted warmly by the king and enjoyed a horse-drawn carriage ride through the royal estate's massive grounds as military bands played the national anthems of the US and UK.

Dozens of protesters took to the streets of Windsor chanting "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Donald Trump has got to go" and "Donald Trump's not welcome here."

"I don't think it's right that we're having Trump come for the second state visit due to his horrible rhetoric, policies and actions toward women and people of color," Grace Nathew said.

On a street lined with British and American flags, the group held signs that said, "Trump your politics stink" and "Go away. You are polluting Windsor."

Police said they arrested four people Tuesday over a stunt that saw an image of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein projected on a tower at Windsor Castle, a reminder of the president's relationship with the disgraced financier.

London's police force deployed 1600 officers as they expected members of about 50 different groups to protest.

The days of people lining up around the block outside Apple stores are long gone, with online shopping now the simplest and fastest way to get access to the latest phones, so there's not likely to be too many people queuing up this Friday when Apple's 2025 range of iPhones go on sale.

For the first time in around four years, there's a fresh look to one of the iPhones being released and that is the all-new iPhone Air.

I've been testing all four of the new iPhones, but have spent most of the time with the iPhone Air as it is certainly attracting the most attention and questions from observers of the latest Apple News.

READ MORE: Does the real-time translation on AirPods work?

Key questions I've picked up have been around the iPhone Air being eSIM-only, a first for Australia; its thin profile and how that affects battery life; and the camera – will a single lens cut it?

An eSIM-only iPhone

A radical change from Apple with the iPhone Air being eSIM only – this means you can't take the little plastic SIM card from your current phone and put it into your new iPhone Air.

There's some people very worried about how that will work, I'm here to tell you – relax.

On your current iPhone, you can simply enter the settings and "Convert to eSIM" your current number.

This then will transfer easily when you switch to your new phone.

Additionally, when you sign into a new iPhone with your Apple ID, it will offer you the option to convert any of your phone numbers from other phones to an eSIM – it really is a very simple process, not something to get concerned about.

Just be sure you have details of your telco account login as that will be required for most conversions.

Super thin iPhone Air's battery life

How on earth can the battery life be any good when the iPhone Air is basically half the thickness of a traditional iPhone?

Apple's own numbers give the Air a better battery life than last year's iPhone 16, and just shy of the new iPhone 17.

My four full days of usage have demonstrated this is certainly an "all-day" battery.

In normal use, I've been getting 16-17 hours before I drop below 20%.

No, it's nothing like what you get on the Pro models – but it is by far more than enough when compared to other models in the range.

Does a single-lens cut it on the iPhone Air?

This may be the issue.

Apple executives are quoted talking about seeing this as a single camera as being misleading.

Yes, it can do 3-4 "focal lengths" but it's really just taking a crop from the exceptional 48MP camera to do that.

And, there's no 0.5 ultra-wide.

I suspect Apple has missed the popularity of that lens.

A younger owner is using 0.5 a lot, it's omission from the affordable 16e iPhone meant my kids didn't want to use it long term.

And I would suggest the Air will suffer the same fate.

The only saving grace would be the outstanding – and I really mean that – outstanding selfie camera.

It's an 18MP camera, with a square sensor – this allows Apple to introduce Centre Stage which allows the iPhone to expand to a wider view when other people come into the picture, and offer both portrait and landscape shots without twisting the phone on its side.

That selfie camera is on the entire 2025 lineup, and should not be missed as a core and attractive feature of this range

The premium iPhone 17 Pro

All the lenses on the Pro model 17's are now 48MP fusion cameras.

This means excellent detail, high-quality photos – no matter the lens you choose.

An 8x zoom is shown on the screen when in the camera, but it's again, more of a crop in on the 4x optical lens.

The 17 Pro is down to 4x optical from the iPhone 16 Pro's 5x zoom – but the extra quality likely makes up for that.

My testing of that zoom level shows a distinct improvement in quality of images when zoomed, and there's no question the zoom on videos is also excellent.

However, there's still some artefacts on zoomed videos, which take away the sharpness – I can see more content being made with the zoom, but more work to be done to make it genuinely impressive.

Both Pro phones are big, and heavy, but not more so than last year, just way more so than the iPhone Air which I've been favouring.

My pick of the bunch – the entry-level iPhone 17

Apple has pulled a real swifty with the entry-level iPhone 17.

It's the same price as last year's iPhone 16 at $1399 but it's double the storage with 256GB being the lowest capacity.

Plus, it has an outstanding screen with 120Hz refresh rate down to 1Hz.

And it has the new A19 chip, and both rear cameras are 48Megapixels, while the front-camera is that impressive centre stage selfie camera.

There's no doubt in my mind that the entry level iPhone 17 is the best value iPhone released in many many years, and if you had to pick just one from the four released this year – no question the iPhone 17 offers the best bang-for-your-buck.

I can't imagine any owner being anything but happy with their iPhone 17.

The only reason not to love it is the lack of a 4x zoom or similar as you'd get on the Pro. That's it.

iPhone 17 availability

The entire iPhone lineup for 2025 goes on sale this Friday at Apple, retail stores and telcos across Australia.

Christian Brueckner, the German man who remains a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of British girl Madeleine McCann in Portugal, has been released from prison on after serving a sentence on other charges, German police said.

German prosecutors first named Christian Brueckner a suspect in 2020, when he was already serving the sentence for raping a 72-year-old woman in part of Portugal's Algarve region where McCann went missing.

He will be electronically tagged, must declare a place of residence and cannot leave without permission.

Brueckner's lawyer denies any connection with the McCann case.

Brueckner has convictions for child abuse and drug trafficking in addition to the rape of the woman, who has since died.

Police in Britain, Germany and Portugal, who have identified Brueckner as their main suspect, have long sought evidence to link him conclusively to the case.

Portuguese and German police spent four days digging for evidence in the Algarve in June.

British police said on Monday Brueckner, who is detained in a prison in Sehnde in northern Germany, declined their request for an interview in connection with the disappearance.

They said they would continue to pursue any viable lines of enquiry.

McCann, then aged three, disappeared from her bedroom in a holiday resort as her parents dined metres away.

Brueckner, 49, lived in the Algarve between 1995 and 2007, where, according to court documents seen by Reuters he burgled hotels and holiday flats.

McCann's parents continue to campaign for their daughter, who would now be 22, to be found and issue a statement each year on the anniversary of her disappearance.

"We love her dearly and miss her beyond words," they wrote on their website.

It’s the sort of experience you just can’t buy.

The carriages are being polished, the family silver is being laid out, and diamonds are being dusted off as King Charles III prepares to offer a royal welcome to Donald Trump for what will be the highlight of the US president's unprecedented second state visit to Britain.

Hundreds of soldiers, gardeners and chefs are putting the finishing touches on their preparations to make sure the president and first lady Melania Trump get the full royal treatment.

READ MORE: Texts between accused Charlie Kirk shooter and roommate revealed

But it’s a spectacle with a purpose: to bolster ties with a world leader known for a love of bling at a time when his America First policies are putting pressure on trade and security arrangements globally.

The second leg of the visit will take place on Thursday, when Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer meet at Chequers, the 16th-century redbrick mansion in the Chiltern Hills northwest of London that serves as the official country estate of British prime ministers.

The government hopes a technology deal to be signed during the trip will underline the trans-Atlantic bond remains strong despite differences over Ukraine, the Middle East and the future of NATO.

The backdrop for day one will be Windsor Castle, an almost 1,000-year-old royal residence with gilded interiors, crenelated towers and priceless artworks.

It’s a scene that has seemed to enchant Trump, who ditched his trademark bluster and described the invitation to Windsor as “a great, great honour.”

READ MORE: Albanese government backs ABC reporter blasted by Trump

“I think that also is why he seems so visibly excited about the second meeting, because it isn’t an invitation given to (just) anyone,” said George Gross, an expert on the British monarchy at King’s College London.

Trump said on Tuesday after arriving in London that he loved being back in the United Kingdom, calling it a “very special place.”

Asked if he had a message for Charles, he said the king was a longtime friend of his and well-respected.

While Britain’s royals long ago gave up real political power, their history, tradition and celebrity give them a cachet that means presidents and prime ministers covet an invitation to join them.

That makes the invitations, handed out at the request of the elected government, a powerful tool to reward friends and wring concessions out of reluctant allies.

State banquet

No US president, or any other world leader, has ever had the honor of a second UK state visit.

That won’t be lost on a president who often describes his actions with superlatives and has made no secret of his fondness for the British royals.

The day will begin when the king and Queen Camilla formally welcome the Trumps to Windsor Castle.

That will be followed by a horse-drawn carriage ride through the estate — 6,400 hectares of farms, forest and open space that includes a one-time royal hunting ground which is still home to 500 red deer.

Back at the castle, a military band will play God Save the King and The Star-Spangled Banner before Trump and the king inspect an honor guard of soldiers in traditional scarlet tunics and tall bearskin hats.

After a private lunch and a visit to an exhibit of documents and artwork illustrating the ties between Britain and the US, it will be time for the glitz and glamour of a state banquet.

Tiaras and medals will be on display as up to 160 guests in formal wear gather around a 50-metre long mahogany table set with 200-year-old silver to honor the president. Charles will deliver a speech, then the king and president will offer toasts.

Trump won’t, however, have the chance to address a joint session of Parliament as French President Emmanuel Macron did in July during his state visit, because the House of Commons is in recess.

The president also missed out on that honor during his first state visit amid opposition from then-Speaker of the House John Bercow.

‘It’s very dreary’

Most state visits are staged in London, against the grand backdrop of Buckingham Palace and the broad, flag-lined boulevard known as The Mall.

But this one is taking place in the cozier confines of Windsor, a historic town of just over 30,000 people about 40 kilometers west of central London.

That makes it easier to control protests and protect the president at a time of increased international tensions, especially after the fatal shooting of Trump ally Charlie Kirk last week in Utah.

Even so, British police have mounted a massive police operation to ensure the president’s safety.

When Trump was in London on his first state visit in 2019, he was met by thousands of protesters who filled the streets outside the Houses of Parliament as a balloon shaped like a giant, diaper-wearing baby Trump floated overhead.

Robert Lacey, a royal historian and the consultant on the Netflix television series “The Crown,” said Windsor is also a more “photogenic setting” for a state visit.

“Buckingham Palace has got its balcony, it’s got its façade,” he said.

But “inside it’s very dreary and it’s currently being renovated, which is one reason why Mr Trump will not be staying there. Windsor is a proper castle.”

One tenant said they were woken by the landlord tugging at their toe.

SA Police say they are very confident they have found the remains of a woman who went missing 23 years ago, and have arrested a man they intend to charge with her alleged murder.

Major crime detectives spent the morning digging up a Port Lincoln backyard in their investigation into the disappearance of Susan Goodwin, who was last seen at her local Coles and Woolworths in July 2002.

Police suspected the 39-year-old was murdered but her remains had never been found.

SA Police Acting Detective Superintendent Andrew McRae has this evening announced human remains were found in the backyard and analysed.

"I'm very, very confident these remains are Susan's," he said.

Detectives then arrested a 64-year-old man from Port Lincoln, who is expected to appear in court tomorrow.

"He will be charged with murder," McRae said.

"As of today, we're not looking at anyone else."

He said both of Susan's parents had passed away but police had spoken to her partner and sister this afternoon.

McRae said the discovery was a huge development in the case, which had been headed by one investigator for 13 years.

"There's some excitement and relief."

Detectives started to dig at the property in Port Lincoln at 9am, after the backyard was scanned with a ground-penetrating radar provided by the Australian Federal Police yesterday.

McRae said police had previously attended the property.

Police found bones an hour into the excavation and sent the item for forensic examination.

He said the breakthrough came after help from the public.

"We would not have discovered these remains without information from the public," McRae said.

"I would implore anyone who has information about any homicide to put themselves in the position of a family or friend of the victim and come forward by either contacting police directly or by contacting Crime Stoppers."

Earlier today, SA Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said police hoped for a resolution in the cold case.

"We will wait and see what comes out of that search," Stevens said this morning.

"There is no such thing as a closed unsolved murder investigation, they remain open, are subject to regular review and we take opportunities to explore fresh information or evidence as it comes to light."

Police have been offering a $200,000 reward for anyone who provides information that leads to a conviction or the discovery of Goodwin's remains.

Susan was reported missing on Friday, July 18, 2002, from her home on Moonta Crescent at Port Lincoln.

She was last seen around lunchtime that day, after shopping at Coles and Woolworths in Port Lincoln.

Susan's car was found in the driveway of her home address about 4.45pm.

Four men have been arrested after an image of US President Donald Trump alongside Jeffrey Epstein was projected onto Windsor Castle.

The stunt happened on the eve of Trump's state visit to the UK.

A 60-year-old man from East Sussex, a 36-year-old man from London, a 37-year-old man from Kent and a 50-year-old man from London were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications and remain in police custody, Thames Valley Police said.

Chief Superintendent Felicity Parker said: "We take any unauthorised activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously.

"Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection and four people have been arrested."

Other activists this week unveiled a huge image of Trump with Epstein in the area near the castle.

Trump said Tuesday after arriving in London that he loved being back in the United Kingdom, calling it a "very special place".

Asked if he had a message for Charles, he said the king was a longtime friend of his and well-respected.

Meanwhile the Albanese government has thrown its support behind an Australian journalist who was subjected to a spray and threat from Trump. 

ABC journalist John Lyons, on assignment for the program Four Corners, quizzed Trump on his business dealings while in office, asking if it was "appropriate" for a sitting president to be engaged in so much personal commerce.

Travellers heading to Taiwan will need to fill out a new form up to 72 hours before arriving in the country from next month.

From October 1, Australians flying to the East Asian country will need to complete a Taiwan Arrival Card (TWAC) in the three days before they touch down in Taiwan.

Any foreign nationals who don't have an Alien Residence Certificate, a Resident Visa or Diplomatic ID card will need to fill out the incoming passenger form.

READ MORE: Texts between accused Charlie Kirk shooter and roommate revealed

Travellers will need to share their passport details, an email address, an occupation, phone number and their accomodation information for the form.

The arrival card is free and won't ask for any bank or card details.

Immigration officers at the border may ask travellers to see verification of a completed Arrival Card.

Australia's Smart Traveller website today reminded travellers the new rule will kick in from October 1.

It also warned Australian tourists to be mindful of the dangers of typhoon season in Taiwan, which is between May and November.

"Flooding and mudslides are common. Businesses and government offices close on 'typhoon day'," Smart Traveller said.
