Trump lays out immigration plan The Republican nominee abandoned any pretense of softening his stance on immigration during a fiery address in Phoenix, Arizona, vowing to deport immigrants in the US illegally "because that's what it means to have laws and a country". Trump vowed to add 5,000 border control agents and confirmed he would build a wall with Mexico and deport millions during his "first hour in office". Trump's tone contrasted sharply with a conciliatory position he offered earlier that day at a meeting in Mexico City with President Enrique Peña Nieto, at which he described the president's countrymen as "amazing people". Peña Nieto said he had made clear it clear that Mexico would not pay for a border wall despite Trump's statement at a press conference after the meeting that the two did not discuss it. Trump's hardline stance in Phoenix delighted core supporters and dismayed his few remaining Latino allies. The Trump on display in Phoenix was the Trump we already knew, writes Ben Jacobs. 'No amnesty': Donald Trump vows to deport millions during 'first hour in office' Apple expects to repatriate billions to US Tim Cook expects the iPhone maker to repatriate huge offshore profits to the US next year, paying billions of dollars in deferred taxes to the Treasury. The plan, announced in an interview with Ireland's RTE radio today, represents a striking reversal of policy – like many large US multinationals, Apple has for decades been pooling its non-US profits outside of America and deferring US tax liabilities so long as income is not repatriated. In July, Apple told investors its cash pile held offshore had reached $214.8bn – the largest of any US company. Cook told RTE that in 2014: "Apple paid $400m [in tax] to Ireland, we paid $400m to the US. And we provisioned several billion for the US for payment as soon as we repatriated." The Apple CEO also said he would love to see the Irish government appeal against the European commission's ruling that his company should pay €13bn in back tax to the Irish government. Apple boss expects to repatriate billions to the US next year Ex-Stanford swimmer set for release The former Stanford university swimmer is set for release tomorrow after serving three months of a six-month sentence. Has Turner's conviction and the uproar over his relatively light sentence changed how we treat campus sexual assault? Kamilah Willingham, who was featured in the documentary The Hunting Ground, relaying her story of assault while at Harvard law school, tells Sam Levin she now makes an effort to be more open about her emotional scars. "I was inspired by the vulnerability that the Stanford survivor showed," Willingham says. After Brock Turner – did anything change? More Americans smoking weed As at least five states prepare to vote on legalizing recreational use of marijuana, a new study estimates that 10 million more Americans smoke marijuana now than 12 years ago. The research, published in the British journal the Lancet, finds the number of Americans who admit to smoking on "a daily or near daily basis" has more than doubled to 8.4 million. In percentage terms, the number of Americans who said they smoked marijuana grew from 10.4% to 13.3% from 2002 to 2014. Ten million more Americans smoke marijuana now than 12 years ago: study Yankees' Gary Sanchez could be the real thing Twenty-three-year-old Gary Sanchez is the first player to hit 11 home runs in his first 23 games and while the Yankees are the greatest of all time at producing over-hyped prospects, the rookie actually happens to be worth watching, writes DJ Gallo. "There's no over-hyping total dominance. You can say we've seen it before with a Yankees call-up, but baseball hasn't seen anything quite like this in history." Believe the hype: Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez might be the real deal Fall arts – our guide From the first American retrospective for Doug Aitken at MOCA in Los Angeles to Cuban-born centenarian painter Carmen Herrera at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and David Adaje's new National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington – and not forgetting a study of Monet's early years at the Kimbell Museum of Art, Fort Worth – there is plenty to admire.

Film-makers are no strangers to the embrace of fashion. Here, Spike Jones debuts his new advert for Kenzo perfume – a beautiful woman, bored in a black-tie world; just what you might expect from a glossy fashion ad. But then she (Margaret Qualley) sneaks out, into an empty hall – and then we're off into the deep end to the sound of Mutant Brain by Ape Drums (featuring Sam Spiegel and Assassin). It's not the first time film directors have paired with fashion brands. We look at four more. Spike Jonze gets freaky for Kenzo – where film meets beauty |
