We start now with breaking news from the late night hours: a federal judge has temporarily restored White House access to journalists from CNN, Politico and MS Now after president Donald Trump banned them due to their coverage of his administration. US district judge Tim Kelly issued his order in a lawsuit that the news organizations filed contesting the ban that the president announced on 18 September, saying it was likely unconstitutional. Kelly ordered the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and issued a temporary restraining order that will be in effect for 14 days.
Such orders are typically designed to preserve the status quo pending a closer review of the case by the court. US president Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping meet in Washington for high-stakes talks that expect to cover their competing economies, trade, artificial intelligence and Taiwan. Benjamin Netanyahu will speak at the UN general assembly today where he is expected to attack New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani, a vocal critic of the Israeli prime minister who has repeatedly described him as a war criminal.
