Pres. Trump continues to attack media

U.S. President Donald Trump is continuing to describe the American press as dishonest.

He took to twitter earlier to claim he has no relationship with Russia, when he's previously indicated he does.

And the White House published a list of terror attacks it claims were not reported in the U.S., with many in the American media pointing out, the list is ill-spelled and the events were reported

President Trump is continuing his attacks.

Pres. Trump promises to keep fighting courts over travel ban

U.S. President Donald Trump can't believe he has to fight for his executive order limiting travel from the Middle East in the courts.

UK SPEAKER UNDER PRESSURE OVER TRUMP STANCE

UK House of Commons Speaker John Bercow is under increasing pressure over his opposition to a Parliamentary address by US President Donald Trump.

On Monday Speaker Bercow said 'opposition to racism and sexism' meant the Commons should not allow President Trump to speak at Westminster when he makes a state visit to Britain later this year.

Many senior Conservative MPs are angry and say he should now consider his position for breaching his neutrality and potentially harming transatlantic relations.
