Donald Trump has returned to the golf course after an almost three month hiatus from the game. The death toll from the coronavirus in the US is nearing 100,000 people and unemployment has topped 38 million.

Meanwhile the administration is in talks to conduct the first US nuclear test since 1992 to demonstrate to Moscow and Beijing the ability to rapid test.

Former attorney general Jeff Sessions has hit back at the president for endorsing his Senate rival, saying that the senator is picked by the people of Alabama, not by the president's personal feelings.

The president plans to attend next week's launch of SpaceX's first crewed mission for Nasa that will take two astronauts to the International Space Station.
