What happened when the Trump campaign made a video at Arlington National Cemetery

Two sources told USA TODAY a member of former President Donald Trump's team pushed his way into recording in a part of the Arlington National Cemetery, known as Section 60, where photography is prohibited.

The background: On Monday, Trump laid wreaths at the cemetery's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to honor the 13 Americans slain in a suicide bombing at the Kabul airport three years ago during the chaotic U.S. pullout from Afghanistan.

After laying wreaths, Trump and members of his team accompanied family members of a slain soldier to his graveside in Section 60, where the cemetery's public affairs director tried to stop them from filming.
Trump's spokesman said the group had permission to film in Section 60. The incident pitted Trump's campaign against cemetery administrators who maintain the dignity of some of the country's most hallowed ground. Trump's spokesman attacked the official in strikingly personal and derogatory language. 
"Donald Trump has no right to use our most hallowed ground for his political aims": Veterans are upset by the incident, with one retired Army general calling it "repugnant."

Paralympic coverage sees incremental progress

Compared to the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Paralympics – which began with Wednesday's opening ceremony – will receive a fraction of the coverage. All 22 sports will be streamed live on Peacock in the United States, however – up from 12 at the 2012 London Games. That is a sign of moving in the right direction, International Paralympic Committee chief brand and communications officer Craig Spence said. But athletes say there's still a long way to go.
