A federal judge has halted the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the US international broadcaster Voice of America, calling the move a "classic case of arbitrary and capricious decision making."
Judge James Paul Oetken blocked the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which runs Voice of America, from firing more than 1,200 journalists, engineers and other staff that it sidelined two weeks ago in the wake of President Donald Trump ordering its funding slashed.
