Donald Trump has threatened to walk out of future press briefings if reporters do not act with "decorum". The US president was speaking after a Washington DC court ordered the White House to return CNN reporter Jim Acosta's press pass after it was revoked by the US Secret Service. Mr Acosta's press pass was taken after he clashed with the president during a news conference earlier this month. Mr Trump played down the ruling, saying it wasn't "a big deal". But, he said, "people have to behave", adding his staff were "writing up rules and regulations" for the press to abide by, including sticking to the agreed number of questions. "If they don't listen to the rules and regulations we'll end up back in court and will win," Mr Trump said. "But more importantly, we'll just leave, and then you won't be very happy." "You can't take three questions and four questions an...

There is still "more to be done" on Theresa May's draft Brexit deal, Commons leader Andrea Leadsom has said. The leading Brexiteer said there was "still time" before the EU summit, adding she supported the PM's efforts to get the "best possible deal".

The US says it will join Australia in developing a naval base in Papua New Guinea (PNG), in an apparent move to curb China's growing influence. Vice-President Mike Pence said the three countries would work together on the facility on Manus Island. Australia announced last month that it would work with PNG to develop the island's Lombrum Naval Base. Mr Pence made the announcement on the sidelines of the Apec summit in the PNG capital, Port Moresby. "The United States will partner with Papua New Guinea and Australia on their joint initiative at Lombrum Naval Base," he said. "We will work with these two nations to protect sovereignty and maritime rights in the Pacific islands." China 'training for strikes' on US targets Why is the South China Sea contentious?

US President Donald Trump is heading to California to survey the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in the state's history. The Camp Fire in northern California has killed at least 71 people. More than 1,000 people are reported to be missing, although officials say that figure could fluctuate. Leaving for California, Mr Trump again focused on forest management as a cause of the blazes, a claim that has been disputed by experts. On top of the Camp Fire, firefighters are also tackling several other blazes, including the Woolsey Fire near Los Angeles which has claimed at least three lives. And adding to the misery, scores of people have become sick after outbreaks of the norovirus at shelters and the air quality in northern California has been rated the world's worst. Heavy rain is forecast next week that could douse the flames but also bring mudslides and floods on hillsides stripped of vegetation. What's the latest on the Camp Fire? ...

A homeless man who used his shopping trolley to try to ram a knife-wielding attacker in Melbourne has been charged with offences including burglary and theft.

Washington (CNN) Multiple sources tell CNN that a much-anticipated United Nations Security Council resolution calling for a cessation of hostilities in Yemen and for Saudi Arabia to allow humanitarian aid to reach millions of starving people was "stalled" this week after the resolution's sponsor, British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, met face-to-face with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Two sources said the crown prince "threw a fit" about the resolution. Two other sources with knowledge of the discussion didn't go so far as to describe the crown prince as angry, though they didn't deny he was annoyed. Putting it into more carefully diplomatic terms, one said, "He didn't like the idea." According to the other source, the Saudis "have their reservations," but the source said it remained a courteous discussion.
