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.

After meeting Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Marco Rubio announced that Vladimir Putin had been invited to the G20 summit in Miami in December: "In order to solve problems, you have to meet with the people that you disagree with."

Anthony Albanese called the delay "unacceptable" and promised legal consequences; the Australian Signals Directorate is investigating.

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.

The Justice Department defends the barring of CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House in court
The US Justice Department asked a federal judge to reject the three outlets' request to restore their reporters' credentials, arguing the ban is lawful. Trump says he will let them back if a judge so decides. Legal scholars see long odds: US courts hold that a government cannot condition press access on favourable coverage. The White House launched "Trump TV", which opened with a speech from July.

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.
