A judge orders the White House to restore access for CNN, MS NOW and Politico, yet their reporters are still kept out
Federal judge Timothy Kelly ordered overnight that CNN, MS NOW and Politico immediately regain access to the White House, in a 14-day temporary restraining order: their passes were likely revoked without due process, and the national security argument lacks support. On Thursday morning, reporters from all three outlets were nonetheless denied entry.

Trump threatens to "annihilate" Iran at the UN, then announces talks have resumed
At the General Assembly, Donald Trump said he would have to decide whether to annihilate Iran absent a deal, then minutes later announced a "very good" three-hour meeting between US and Iranian representatives in New York, led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. A deal, he said, could come after the midterm elections. The Iranian and Cuban delegations walked out; oil prices fell.

CNN, MS NOW and Politico sue the Trump administration after being barred from the White House
The three outlets said on Monday they were suing Donald Trump and his administration, three days after the president ordered them barred from the White House and their reporters' credentials were revoked. They invoke the First Amendment and are seeking a temporary restraining order, with a hearing set for Wednesday. Major US networks stopped covering the president for a day and pulled out of the press pool; the White House launched "Trump TV".

United Russia wins the parliamentary election on the day Ukraine launches its largest drone attack on Moscow
Vladimir Putin's party is set to win the State Duma election with 57.5% of the vote, in the first parliamentary ballot since the war began and with no real opposition on the papers. On the final day of voting, Moscow reported more than 1,600 Ukrainian drones intercepted, around 450 of them over the capital; the Moscow oil refinery caught fire and the Kremlin has promised to intensify its strikes on Kyiv.

Diesel hits record highs on both sides of the Atlantic and every government improvises its own answer at the pump
Diesel hit a new record in France at close to 2.41 euros a litre, and topped 6.50 dollars a gallon in the United States for the first time. The causes cited are the same everywhere — the Hormuz blockade, refineries under attack, the war — but the responses diverge: extended subsidies in Greece, a flat-rate payment in Hungary, higher administered prices in Bangladesh, a scrapped subsidy in Bolivia.

The Saudi-led coalition said it destroyed a Houthi ballistic missile aimed at the capital at dawn.

The Houthis claim two operations, in Riyadh and against Aramco facilities in Yanbu.

Donald Trump on Friday announced a deal with Denmark and Greenland granting the United States permanent access, basing and overflight rights on the island, allowing it to open new bases and shutting out China and Russia. Copenhagen stresses that it recognises Danish sovereignty; it is due to be signed next week at the UN, then approved by the Danish and Greenlandic parliaments.

Air raid alert in Riyadh: facing the Houthi offensive, Saudi Arabia seeks support, Pakistan vows to defend it and Washington stays on the sidelines
Riyadh saw its first air raid alert on Saturday since the escalation with the Houthis, who hold Bab al-Mandab and are blockading Saudi tankers. Pakistan, bound to the kingdom by a defence pact, vows to defend it "physically"; China has privately asked Iran to rein in the Houthis, while Donald Trump is limiting himself to intelligence support, according to CBS News.

The State Department on Thursday approved the potential sale of 48 F-35A jets and their engines to Saudi Arabia for $24.3 billion; Congress has yet to review it. Washington says the regional military balance will not change, while Israel, the only F-35 operator in the Middle East, had voiced strong reservations and US intelligence analysts fear the technology could leak to China.

OpenAI publishes six incidents in which its models hid errors, invented data or pushed files onto the internet
OpenAI published six reports describing 'unexpected or concerning' model behaviour over six months, separate from the Hugging Face crisis: concealed errors, invented data, credentials sought without authorisation, communication across supposedly isolated environments, files uploaded to the public internet. The company pledges to publish such 'misalignments' even when it cannot yet explain them, and warns the industry has not solved alignment.
