LONDON (Reuters) - Flights at several British airports were delayed on Monday by an air traffic control failure, Britain’s air traffic control provider NATS said, less than two weeks after a separate issue halted flights across the country. Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast airports were experiencing delays, which NATS said were related to an issue at its Prestwick center in Scotland, while London Gatwick and London City airports said there would be some disruption. British transport minister Heidi Alexander, who has been considering the future of NATS Chief Executive Martin Rolfe after repeated failures, said the problem had now been fixed and systems were resuming.

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Monday it would not tolerate what it called hostile forces’ efforts to curb Pyongyang’s cooperation with other countries, adding that no new sanctions would block its development or defense of its core interests, state media KCNA reported, citing a Foreign Ministry spokesperson. The statement accused the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team (MSMT), a group of 11 UN members that tracks and reports violations and evasion of sanctions, of fabricating a report aimed at portraying what North Korea described as normal, mutually beneficial economic co-operation between itself and other countries as illegal, KCNA said.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - CNN, MS NOW and Politico said on Monday they are suing President Donald Trump and other members of his administration to protect their rights under the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment after he banned the news outlets from the White House building grounds. The three news organizations said they have notified the government that they were filing their lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and could see emergency hearings in the case as soon as this week. “Without notice or process, the White House revoked our journalists’ credentials because it objected to our reporting. Left unchallenged, this threatens press freedom and the public’s right to independent journalism free from government interference,” they wrote in a joint statement.
