Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has resigned after his extramarital affair with a Chinese businesswoman who reportedly was also acting as a spy for Beijing.
It comes after Nvidia's board gathered to discuss his future following revelations that he was having an affair with a Singapore-based business executive suspected of spying for China.
US Democrat House Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries says Congress is investigating the scandal.
"We need a classified briefing made available to members of Congress as it relates to the Nvidia situation and to the extent that our national security has been compromised, the American people deserve answers and we're going to work to make sure that happens.”
An Israeli airstrike on a hospital in southern Gaza has killed at least six people, including a surgeon and a 13-year-old boy.
At least 20 others were wounded when the strike hit the surgical wing of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
The hospital’s director, Ahmed al-Farra, says the attack came without warning, leaving several departments unable to operate.
"What’s happened at Nasser medical complex last night was a full-fledged crime. The occupational (Israeli) forces attacked Al Yassin building by two rockets. . ... What’s happened in Nasser medical complex is targeting the health sector, mainly. We are talking about doctors. We are talking about civilians. We are talking about patients inside the hospital.”
One of the rockets failed to explode.
The Israeli military says a Hamas commander and other militants are among those killed, but has provided no evidence.
The strike comes despite a US-backed ceasefire in place since October last year
The federal government has announced an additional $88 million to grow, train and keep a domestic workforce it says is needed to deliver AUKUS.
Defence Minister Richard Marles launched a six-year plan - called the 2026 Nuclear‑Powered Submarine Workforce Strategy - at HMAS Stirling in Western Australia.
He says the funding is about planning for the future workforce in Western Australia and South Australia - by expanding training and employment pathways in the submarine and shipbuilding industries.
"What it does is highlight that over the coming decades, AUKUS will directly employ 20,000 Australians. That is a real challenge to put that in place. It is a very significant training challenge, which is why we are building the Skills and Training Academy at the Osborne Naval Shipyard in Adelaide. It's why we're working so closely with South West Metro TAFE here in Perth."

Former Greens leader and current CEO of the Australian Conservation Foundation, Adam Bandt, says Australia has an opportunity to step up.
"Other countries have put a plan on the table including here in this climate summit to say how they're going to get out of fossil fuels. And Australia needs to do that as well. But that would go a long way to getting some momentum to the negotiations here. If Australia was prepared to say it is getting out of fossil fuels; it won't be exporting them into the future, and is going to stop opening up new coal and gas mines. That is the kind of leadership that other countries are looking for."
A group of Northern Territory legal services, community organisations and land councils are calling on the NT government to abandon its proposed social housing changes.
In a joint open letter to Housing Minister Steve Edgington, the coalition of organisations warns proposed reforms would push large numbers of vulnerable Territorians into homelessness, and drive more crime and violence in the community.
Under the new policy, public housing tenants face eviction, if they receive three strikes for what the government calls anti-social behaviour.
To sport, in Rugby Union, Wallabies player Len Ikitau says the upcoming game against Scotland on Monday is a chance to reset.
The Wallabies lost their game against England 45-22 last Monday, their third defeat in a row.
Ikitau says the team wants to come back stronger, and their defence has been a major focus.
"I think it's just our connection. We need to be able to connect well with our forwards and with our backfield, too. We're all over the shop at the moment, and some major fixes for us as a back-line [are needed], and we’re working at it at training. And we'll see how we go."
