Image caption, The US president argues that a ballroom is necessary for large events and enhanced security at the White House. US President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to allow him to continue building a $400m (£295m) ballroom at the White House without congressional permission. The emergency application comes one week after an appeals court ordered construction to stop until Congress approves, upholding a ruling won by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which sued the administration last year. In the latest filing, US Solicitor General D John Sauer asked that work be allowed to continue while the administration appeals the stop-work order, which he called dangerous. Trump has long argued the White House lacks a large event space and that building one is vital for national security.

The government has issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbeques as they pose a significant risk to the public during the current drought and heatwave conditions, according to advice published online.

It added disposable barbecues cannot be considered a safe product in the current conditions and they must not be made available for sale either in store or online at the current time in Great Britain. Prime Minister Andy Burnham advised people to take care, telling the BBC: Britain is a tinderbox right now.
