A Hurricane Hunter aircraft, operated by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), flew into the storm on Tuesday and recorded sustained wind speeds near 180 mph (285 km/h), with stronger gusts. NOAA's Miami-based National Hurricane Center called the storm "extremely dangerous" and said its intensification over 24 hours was "truly remarkable". The slow-moving storm is fuelling up on extremely warm waters caused by the El Nio climate phenomenon and is the season's third category 5 storm, the highest level on the Saffir-Simpson scale.

A court filing from the Trump administration late Tuesday night argues "access to the White House is a privilege, not a right," in spite of First Amendment protections around press freedom. The administration lawyers argue that Trump can control areas of the White House to protect national security information that may be inside the complex. "At the very least, the Government may control reporters' access to restricted presidential areas, such as the Oval Office, even for viewpoint-discriminatory reasons," the Justice Department wrote to the court.

Trump has claimed US munitions supplies are "virtually unlimited" and said reporting otherwise is "fake news". But the independent watchdog said the US spent more than $22 billion on munitions from February through June, leading to "strategic inventory shortfalls". The new report provides a first-of-its-kind, independent glimpse into US weapons stockpiles, data that is typically classified. Previous estimates have painted a dire picture of the US shortages. A late July estimate from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, or CSIS, found that stocks of some interceptors - such as the Patriot missile and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD - were significantly depleted, in some cases by more than half.
