Elon Musk and Jensen Huang are back with the president a week after the big AI summit. Plus - Marco Rubio atop the Acropolis.

   What does Trump know about the 'terror incident' in the UK that we don’t?

   An alleged terror incident at an RAF base in the UK captures the attention of both sides of the pond. Donald Trump has weighed in. What does he know that we don’t? Plus - a massive industrial investment announced by the president on Monday. The largest steel plant to be built in Iowa.

   Has Donald Trump just begun state-run television in America?

   Trump versus the media. Again. But this time, the media has fought back. After banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, major news organisations, including Fox News, have united in protest. The result?

As Donald Trump arrives in New York for a crucial week of diplomacy, Mark Stone and James Matthews unravel a row that's become about much more than journalism. Plus, Trump's giant triumphal arch planned for Washington gets an unusual upgrade -…
