London's transportation regulator has granted Uber only a 2-month license to operate in the city, stating that it wants more information from the company as it considers a longer permit.
Why it matters: A court granted the ride-hailing company a 15-month probationary license in 2018 after Transport for London (TfL) declined to renew its permanent permit the year before.

President Trump tweeted on Tuesday that he was considering posting his interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" prior to airtime in order to show "what a FAKE and BIASED interview" it was, following reports that he abruptly ended the interview after 45 minutes of taping.
Why it matters: Trump has escalated his war on the media in the final stretch of his re-election campaign, calling a Reuters reporter a "criminal" this week for not reporting on corruption allegations about Hunter Biden and disparaging CNN as "dumb b*stards" for the network's ongoing coronavirus coverage.
