This morning, the White House was abuzz with the visit of President Xi Jinping from China, but it was the controversy surrounding the press pool that stole the show according to White House correspondent Julia Manchester, who breaks down the latest developments.

The state visit was still going ahead, with President Xi and President Trump meeting at the National Archives this morning, but the real story was the confusion over CNN's access to the White House.
