U.S. broadcaster boycott against Trump faced 1st test at ribbon cutting ceremony
The fallout from President Trumps decision to ban CNN, MS NOW and Politico reporters from the White House continued on Monday, with the news organizations filing a federal lawsuit, other outlets dropping their coverage in protest and the administration launching a live YouTube stream branded TRUMP TV. In response to the ban, four major TV networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox News refused to participate in the White House pool, the rotating group of reporters, photographers and videographers that document the president's public events. CNN had been scheduled to serve as the television pool on Monday. As a result, Trump was largely inaudible during a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the White House's new helipad on Monday, where he gave a brief speech without the microphone that the pool would typically provide. On Monday night, the White House launched a Trump TV YouTube stream. Branded TRUMP TV: The Essentials Station , the White House said in its description that it would run videos and highlights of the Trump Administration's biggest moments all in one place. The first video showed Trump's remarks on July 3 at Mount Rushmore. The three banned news organizations filed a lawsuit against Trump and three of his top advisers in federal court earlier Monday, demanding that access for their reporters be immediately restored. This morning, we notified the government that we are filing a lawsuit today to protect our First Amendment rights and defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports or publishes, CNN, MS NOW and Politico said in a joint statement. Without notice or process, the White House revoked our journalists' credentials because it objected to our reporting. Left unchallenged, this threatens press freedom and the public's right to independent journalism free from government interference. According to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., the news outlets allege that Trump and the White House are retaliating against them for coverage they dislike. President Trump has said in no uncertain terms that he would prefer only to be covered by news organizations and reporters who praise his administration, the complaint states. But the Constitution does not allow a president or any other government official to deprive the press of their First Amendment rights and liberty and property interests with no notice or process based solely on his dislike of the content of their reporting. The organizations argue that their reporters were not afforded due process and are asking a federal judge to quickly rule that Trump's ban is unconstitutional. The filing cites a 1977 ruling by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, which found that the White House cannot arbitrarily deny a journalist a press pass without due process. This ban could not be a more direct assault on the First Amendment nor a more blatant violation of our most fundamental constitutional principles, the filing states. Trump appeared to respond to the lawsuit in a social media post early Monday. The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America, the president wrote on Truth Social . It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW! A hearing was set for Wednesday. Trump indicated in a follow-up Truth Social post that he would appeal any ruling against him. The White House released a statement on Monday afternoon, saying that access for journalists is a privilege not a right. The First Amendment protects their right to publish; it does not entitle them to a hard pass, briefing room seat, or place in the press pool, the statement read. No President is required to host a hostile operation on the grounds. Access has always been a privilege and President Trump is applying that rule. How the ban unfolded A view of the White House Briefing Room on Sept. 19. Graeme Sloan/Getty Images On Friday afternoon, Trump announced the ban in a Truth Social post , saying it was not prompted by any particular stories but was a result of their constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS! It's really just cumulative stories over the last few years. You get sick of it, Trump said at an Oval Office event an hour later while explaining his decision to enact the ban on the free press. There's something wrong with a country that can allow people to write purposely negative stories, the president said. If they want to write them, that's fine, but I don't have to let them into my, into the people's house. According to CNN , Trump's close aide Natalie Harp showed him clips of media coverage shortly before he announced the ban. On Saturday, reporters from CNN, MS NOW and Politico were turned away from the White House by members of the Secret Service and had their credentials so-called hard passes needed for access confiscated. The journalists CNN's Betsy Klein, MS NOW's Akayla Gardner and Politico's Cheyenne Haslett are listed as plaintiffs in the court filing. MS NOW's Akayla Gardner, CNN's Betsy Klein and Politico's Cheyenne Haslett are seen near the White House after all were denied entry on Sept. 19. AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana The White House Correspondents' Association condemned the move, saying it violates the First Amendment. The American people, through a free and independent press, must be able to scrutinize those elected to power, regardless of whether government officials view it favorably, Jacqui Heinrich, Fox News senior White House correspondent and WHCA president, said in a statement . That's why courts have repeatedly held that once the White House provides access to journalists, it cannot deny that access arbitrarily or based on the content of their reporting. On Sunday, Trump posted what appeared to be an AI-generated image of trash bags bearing the logos of CNN, MSNBC (MS NOW's former name) and Politico outside the White House. The three news outlets are longstanding members of the White House press pool that provides rotating coverage of the administration and travels with the president. The daily guidance issued by the White House for Monday listed no primary TV pool, identifying Hearst and Real America's Voice as the secondary TV crews for the president's events in Washington and his scheduled trip to New York City for the United Nations General Assembly. The Washington Post , the New York Times and HuffPost each announced that they would not publish images of Trumps trip on Monday in solidarity with the banned journalists. The president vs. the press A White House staff member reaches for the microphone held by CNN's Jim Acosta as he questions President Trump during a news conference on Nov. 7, 2018. Jonathan Ernst/Reuters U.S. presidents throughout history have complained about negative coverage of their administrations. In 2009, the Obama administration sought to exclude Fox News from a series of interviews with a Treasury Department official in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, but backed down when the other major television networks objected. Trump, however, has continued his adversarial relationship with the media, often referring to the press as the enemy of the people. In 2018, Trump administration officials revoked the press pass of then-CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta after they said that he had interrupted the president during a news conference. The network sued, and a federal judge ordered Acosta's credentials restored . A similar situation played out the following year when the White House revoked Playboy correspondent Brian Karem's press pass over a verbal argument between Karem and Sebastian Gorka, a former White House aide, at a Rose Garden event. A federal judge ordered the White House to restore Karem's pass . Last year, Trump barred Associated Press journalists from the Oval Office, Air Force One and some official events after the news service declined to refer to the Gulf of Mexico by Trump's preferred name, the Gulf of America. The AP filed suit and the case is ongoing. In his first event without a network TV pool on Monday, Trump unveiled the White House's new helipad before departing for New York. His remarks were nearly inaudible on the White House video feed . Joe Reberkenny, a White House correspondent for the Washington Blade who was serving as the in-town pool reporter, said he couldn't hear Trump over the sound of the helicopter.

A new NBC News poll found widespread skepticism toward the conflict, with 62 percent of voters saying the war has not been worth it and 57 percent saying they would be less likely to support candidates who back it.

U.S. broadcaster boycott against Trump faces 1st test at ribbon cutting ceremony
A network boycott affected live TV coverage of Trump's ribbon-cutting event at the White House [EPA] When Donald Trump unveiled a helipad at the White House on Monday, his remarks were barely audible in live footage of the event. This was due to a row over an institution that rarely makes the news the White House Press pool. Yet it is at the heart of relations between the US president and the media, and this dispute could have constitutional implications. Coverage of upcoming presidential engagements, which include the UN General Assembly in New York, could be affected. What is the White House press pool? It is a group of news organisations that combine resources to follow presidents wherever they are - in the Oval Office, at state dinners, on Air Force One or on holiday. There are separate pools for TV, photographers and print and radio outlets, as well as a new media category. The idea, conceived decades ago, is that having a pool saves on costs and space and it's not practical for hundreds of media outlets to follow the president around. Members of the pool share their material - pictures and descriptions of the president's movements - with the wider media. The pool is always on standby in case an event requires the president to speak to the nation. This latest row centres on the TV pool which has five members - CNN, ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC. It began on Friday when Trump said he was banning three outlets - CNN, Politico and MS NOW - from the White House, accusing them of spreading fake news and fictions and lies about his team. A day later, reporters from those organisations found that their entry badges to the White House had been disabled. On Monday, all the major US TV networks decided to pull out of White House pool duties - in effect boycotting presidential events. That afternoon came the first test of this post-pool era - the new helipad at the White House. With no pool cameras present, much of the media did not carry any pictures and for those that did, there was no microphone to clearly pick up the president's remarks. But there were no such problems at Trump's meeting later that day with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, because it was not dependent on pool cameras and lots of media were there. Why did US networks pull out of filming Trump? Fox News Washington bureau chief Bryan Boughton, who currently holds the rotating role covering the White House, wrote in an email seen by the BBC that effective today, the TV pool will not be covering events designated as pool coverage of President Trump. In a joint statement, the five networks said: The public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government. No administration should restrict a news organisation because it objects to its reporting. The First Amendment of the US Constitution protects speech and press freedoms. It forbids the government from abridging the freedom of the press - language that courts have traditionally interpreted as preventing the government from discriminating against the media based on the content of their coverage. CNN, Politico and MS NOW have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to defend the principle that the government does not decide what the press reports. A hearing is scheduled for Wednesday. In a joint statement on Monday, they said: Without notice or process, the White House revoked our journalists' credentials because it objected to our reporting. Left unchallenged, this threatens press freedom and the public's right to independent journalism free from government interference. Trump's speech to the United Nations on Tuesday will be unaffected by the boycott because it will be carried by outlets which are not part of the pool. But the president's movements to and from his various New York events, which are usually filmed, could be subject to the blackout. The TV network rotate coverage of White House events [EPA] How has Trump reacted and what is Trump TV? Responding to news of the lawsuit, Trump called the outlets Third Rate Clowns and Crooked and Corrupt Press that trivialise and demean his achievements. Fake News people and publications that only write negatively, and who violate our National Security by writing false and defamatory stories with unknown 'sources,' shouldn't be allowed access to the most important Office anywhere in the World, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. He added that his team would file an appeal. Meanwhile the White House has launched Trump TV, a 24/7 stream on YouTube. Its description reads: Watch the Trump Administration's biggest moments all in one place. So far, the channel has primarily consisted of replays of previous Trump speeches and rallies. For now, the White House media slot has remained vacant and instead the conservative TV outlet, Real America's Voice, was listed as secondary crew on Trump's trip to New York. Unlike the traditional pool, however, that outlet is under no obligation to share material with others and has operated unilaterally for its audience. Have there been previous examples of White House media bans? In February, the White House announced it was taking control of the press pool which has access to Trump and had for more than a century been managed by the White House Correspondents' Association. The same month, the administration moved to bar Associated Press reporters and photographers from spaces where access is limited, such as the Oval Office or Air Force One, because of the outlet's usage of the term Gulf of Mexico instead of Gulf of America. AP filed a lawsuit and the case remains ongoing. There have been a few instances of other administrations attempting to limit certain outlets' access. The Obama administration tried to exclude Fox News from participating in a press pool interview with an administration official in 2009. But after pushback from the other four networks in the pool, Fox News was granted access. Unlike with Trump's exclusion of CNN, MS NOW and Politico, the Obama administration did not try to bar Fox News from all pool coverage, just one specific interview.

Trump's plan to militarize proposed arch raises new concerns
President Donald Trump's push to convert his planned triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery into a military complex has complicated a required federal review process and raised new legal and safety concerns. Trump unveiled his new national security rationale Sunday in a post to Truth Social, saying that the 250-foot arch project - which he has framed for nearly a year as a tourist attraction - will now house drones, snipers and ammunition. The president said he was making the change at the request of the U.S. military. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. Critics of the plan saw echoes of Trump's shifting security case for the White House ballroom, which the administration has used to defend that project in court. But while presidents have historically had some leeway to revamp the White House grounds, the arch would stand on federal parkland more than a mile away, where Congress has set stricter rules for construction. There is nothing that authorizes or justifies a massive arch, even if Trump tries to disguise it as a military facility, said Rep. Jared Huffman (D-California), the top Democrat on a House committee that oversees federal parkland. This is cartoonishly illegal, but he's obviously trying to find a way to do it anyway. Aviation experts warned Monday that using drones at the planned arch site - Memorial Circle, a roundabout near Reagan National Airport - could pose risks in the airport's crowded airspace. Anything you add to the airspace complicates the airspace and increases the operational risk, said Tom Lintner, a former safety official at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Other military and safety experts have questioned the implications of storing ammunition in the middle of a heavily used traffic circle and whether tourists could still enter the arch as previously planned. Historic preservationists participating in a required federal review process said they could not move forward until the administration clarifies Trump's plans for the arch. Administration officials last week had asked Washington and Virginia's preservation offices to agree to a memorandum of agreement (MOA) by Monday as part of that process, and they invited other preservationists to participate. This MOA is DOA, Charles Birnbaum of the Cultural Landscape Foundation wrote in an email to the administration on Monday. An official for Washington's historic preservation office also wrote in an email that the office needed clarity on Trump's post. Both emails were shared with The Washington Post. Administration officials have declined to offer further details about Trump's plans to convert the arch to a military complex. They have previously said that they will not begin construction on the arch until they have received all necessary approvals. But Trump has pushed his deputies to expedite the arch and other construction projects, particularly in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling on Aug. 31 that let him continue building his ballroom, according to two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. The ruling did not decide the merits of the case. Spokespeople for the White House and Pentagon said on Monday that they had no additional information to provide beyond the president's social media post. A defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said it was not clear if U.S. Northern Command, which oversees domestic military operations, has been asked to develop any related plans. Military officials with Joint Task Force-National Capital Region, which oversees military operations to protect D.C., did not respond to requests for comment on Monday. Spokespeople for the Interior Department and the National Park Service also did not respond to questions about the project. The Federal Aviation Administration referred questions to the White House. Until Sunday, the Trump administration had largely portrayed the arch as a prominent tourist attraction. Architectural plans posted by the National Park Service last month include a ticket booth, a family restroom and other features atypical of any active military complex. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum mentioned that the arch would also offer a military observation deck in a social media post earlier this month. The administration had already faced safety questions, in part because the 250-foot-tall structure would sit directly in National Airport flight paths. Aviation safety there has garnered significant attention since a 2025 collision between an Army helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet near the airport that killed 67 people. On Friday, the FAA said it had determined that the arch would not pose a hazard to aircraft, including at National Airport. That finding preceded Trump's announcement about drones, whose type and frequency of use remain unclear. In its final study on the arch, the FAA said the proposed structure should feature a nonstandard eternal flame to make it noticeable to pilots. It also said the arch should be continuously floodlighted by searchlight projectors around its base. Jeff Guzzetti, a former FAA and National Transportation Safety Board accident investigator, said having drones in the flight path of National would worsen the airport's congestion problem. Even not knowing how often these things are going to be used, it would certainly increase the risk of a collision with a commercial airliner, Guzzetti said. Michael McCormick, coordinator of the Air Traffic Management program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, said he expected the FAA would need to conduct another study. Whatever the drones are, no matter what, the FAA would have to approve their flight because it's civilian airspace, McCormick said. It cannot be a unilateral decision by the Pentagon.

Russian Drones Hit Kyiv Before Trump Talks; Zelensky Seeks Energy Truce Or More Missiles | Watch
A Russian drone attack damaged residential buildings across Kyiv hours before Volodymyr Zelenskyys meeting with Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Debris from an intercepted drone struck a five-storey apartment block, sparking a fire and forcing the evacuation of residents. Four other high-rise buildings were damaged, while Ukrainian prosecutors reported five injuries. Zelenskyy is seeking an agreement under which Russia would stop attacking Ukrainian power plants, heating systems, ports and critical infrastructure in exchange for Kyiv halting strikes on Russian energy facilities. Trump has reportedly pressed Ukraine to stop targeting Russian oil refineries after the attacks disrupted fuel production and placed additional pressure on international markets. Kyiv wants a reciprocal and enforceable pauseand may seek further American air-defence missiles if Moscow refuses. Diplomacy is taking place in New York, but the stakes are visible in Kyiv as both sides intensify their energy war ahead of winter.

UK test-fires US torpedo from undersea drone ahead of Burnham-Trump meet
The UK has test-fired a US torpedo from an undersea drone in a symbolic boost for maritime ties in time for Prime Minister Andy Burnham's first meeting with US President Donald Trump in New York on Tuesday. Downing Street said the Plymouth-made drone was used in the first such test firing of an anti-submarine weapon -- jointly developed by the US and Australia -- as part of the AUKUS programme. The heavyweight torpedo is designed to sink ships and deep-diving submarines launched from a 12-metre-long undersea UK-made drone named Excalibur. The firing, which happened in UK waters last week, marks the first time either country had launched a torpedo from an undersea uncrewed vessel, rather than a crewed submarine. It marks a major advance in the future of submarine technology for the UK, US, and Australia, and delivers a significant breakthrough for Euro-Atlantic security and NATO's undersea advantage. This will build on the next generation technology already being developed through
