When President Donald Trump first called the media "enemy of the people" last year, it elicited outrage. Arizona Republican Senator Jeff Flake said it was an example of an "unprecedented" and "unwarranted" White House assault on the free press. The second, third and fourth times Mr Trump used the phrase, it barely merited a shrug. Such is the unique talent of this president - an ability to take an action or opinion that once seemed outrageous and turn it into a new kind of normal. Even if the line doesn't generate headlines anymore, however, journalists still take note. And when a newsroom in Maryland was sprayed with bullets just a few weeks ago, the perils of the profession - even in an established Western democracy, and with or without the president's instigation - were put in stark relief. New York Times publisher AG Sulzberger clearly wanted to drive this point home in his previously secret meeting with Mr Trump nine days ago.

Originally 87 F , 250t-class torpedo boat of the Austro-Hungarian Navy commissioned on 25 October 1915 during World War I , she was armed with two 66 mm (2.6 in) guns and four 450 mm (17.7 in) torpedo tubes . Following Austria-Hungary 's defeat in 1918, 87 F was allocated to what became the Royal Yugoslav Navy, and was renamed T5 . The ship was captured by the Italians during the German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941. After her main armament was modernised, she served with the Royal Italian Navy under the Yugoslav designation, conducting coastal and second-line escort duties in the Adriatic Sea. Following the Italian capitulation in September 1943, the ship was returned to the Royal Yugoslav Navy-in-exile and served as T5 . At the end of the war she was transferred to the new Yugoslav Navy and served as Cer, and in 1962 was broken up .
