bbc.comA District of Columbia court issued a 14-day temporary restraining order requiring the White House to immediately restore press access for CNN, Politico, and MS NOW after President Donald Trump barred them last week. Judge Timothy Kelly ruled that the news organizations were likely to succeed in showing the administration failed to provide adequate due process and rejected government arguments regarding national security.
The United Kingdom is reviewing its controversial agreement to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius due to a lack of support from the United States. Defence Secretary Wes Streeting confirmed the review following comments from US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly criticising the arrangement as terrible. The initial pact, agreed under former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, aimed to cede the archipelago while leasing back the joint UK-US military base on Diego Garcia for an average of £101 million annually. Prime Minister Andy Burnham discussed the matter with Trump in New York, emphasizing the need to safeguard the strategic base for security reasons. While the UK government insists this does not mark a major shift from previous stances, officials acknowledge the current terms will not secure American backing. Consequently, no funds are being disbursed to Mauritius during the ongoing reassessment, drawing mixed reactions from political figures including Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.
