In the US, the White House has barred several media outlets from a press conference held by President Trump's Press Secretary, Sean Spicer.

Journalists from the BBC, New York Times, CNN, The LA Times, BuzzFeed News and others weren't allowed into a scheduled briefing.

Instead, Mr Spicer selected a handful of right-wing outlets including Breitbart, Fox News, ABC and the Wall Street Journal.

Others from Time Magazine and the Associated Press who had been due to attend decided to boycott the meeting in protest at the exclusion of their colleagues.

Elsewhere, it's reported that Trump's Chief of Staff privately asked the FBI to prevent any news stories coming out about Trump campaigners' communication with Russia.
