Pete Hegseth vows to resist impeachment, Donald Trump backs him, and SBS News follows the political fallout beyond Washington. Presented by Catalina Flórez, the latest edition of The Headlines has drawn roughly 36,000 views, making it the channel's most-watched upload of the week and its strongest source of daily viewing among individual videos.

Ben Lewis reports on Republican recriminations after the US midterms before Ricardo Gonçalves explains the sharp sell-off in American and Asian markets. The bulletin then turns to Melania Trump's talks with Russian and Ukrainian delegates and cost-of-living protests in France. It is a broad international round-up, rather than a single extended account of the impeachment dispute.

Its final stop brings the election theme closer to home. Reporting from Kaikohe, Tom Stayner hears from New Zealand voters facing local economic pressures and losing faith in the major parties. That reporting also appears in a separate upload about the country's tightly contested election.

Across the week, SBS News added around 2,000 subscribers. Daily viewing is close to its usual level, so the busy news agenda has not translated into an exceptional channel-wide surge. Among nearby broadcasters, The Daily Beast and WSJ News are currently drawing views faster than usual, while i24NEWS English is having a slower spell.

SBS also posted separate reports on Russell Brand's conviction and the death of a woman injured in the Bondi terror attack. Both are among the channel's most active uploads, behind the international bulletin.
