US President Donald Trump has vowed to create a new "golden age" in the United States. In his inaugural address made in Washington moments after he took the presidential oath of office, he said he hoped to be a "unifier" and a "peacekeeper" during his second term in the Oval Office. But he also insisted that return to power represented "Liberation Day" for the US, and among his plans, he expressed a determination to take the Panama Canal back under American control, and to begin the mass deportation of "millions and millions" of criminal migrants. Our US correspondent Simon Marks filed this report from Washington.

During his inauguration speech, Mr Trump says he will declare a national emergency on the issue of illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border.

A lawmaker has called on the government to set up a mechanism to better protect victims of fraud. Johnny Ng, who is also the convenor of the "Anti-Scam Alliance", says introducing a "Fraud Loss Responsibility Framework" would encourage financial institutions, telecommunication providers, and digital platforms to fight fraud more proactively.

Alex Chan from the centre told Hailey Yip that looking ahead this year, supply chain security and AI content hijacking will likely become top cybersecurity risks in the SAR.

A fragile ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war has been holding, following the dramatic exchange of three hostages for 90 Palestinian prisoners in an agreement aimed at ending more than 15 months of conflict. As the truce took effect, thousands of displaced Palestinians set off across the devastated Gaza Strip to return home. Earlier, Hailey Yip spoke to Paul Rogers, who's Emeritus Professor of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford. He told her that it's highly unlikely that Hamas will release all the hostages until the Israelis completely withdraw, which he believes will require more skilled negotiation and mediation moving forward.

Apple has put a pause on an AI feature which summarises news articles into bullet points. The short lines then appear on the notification screen of iPhone users.

In one case, it wrongly reported that Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu had been arrested. So what went wrong for this AI tool that was intended to help users save time? Elvis Yu finds out more with AI consultant Raj Shroff in this episode of Tech Tuesday.
