Katie Zacharia is “transitioning out” of her role as White House press secretary, the White House has confirmed to the BBC.

They did not provide a timeline for when she would be leaving the position.

US President Donald Trump earlier said he told Zacharia to “reconsider” her role.

He said he told her, “You don’t have to do this”, after her debut in the briefing room earlier this week.

Zacharia has been treated “very, very badly” by the media in recent days, Trump told reporters outside the White House.

Four members of the Canadian military have died and dozens were injured in a major fire at a base in the province of Alberta on Saturday.

Addressing the nation on Sunday from Ottawa, Prime Minister Mark Carney described it as “one of the worst tragedies for the forces on Canadian soil in peacetime”.

The fire broke out at about 16:00 local time (22:00 GMT) on Saturday at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, one of the country’s busiest military training bases, and is now contained. Its cause is still unclear, but officials said it did not appear tied to “terrorist activity”.

Protesters and anti-riot police have clashed in Albania’s main cities in scenes not witnessed for decades.

Government buildings have been attacked, as have some private businesses.

The country’s capital Tirana has seen months of protests from an anti-government “Flamingo” movement, but the clashes have now spread to the main cities of Durrës, Shkodër, Lezhë and Vlora in the west, Gjirokastër in the south and Korçë in the east.

The new demonstrations were announced as a student movement, ostensibly demanding action by the government to help with the high cost of education fees and books – and the higher cost of living.
