A federal judge in the United States has refused to block a joint military parade from taking place at the White House, allowing the administration to go ahead with a ceremony planned for President Trump’s birthday on Sunday.

US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled on Friday that the plaintiffs protesting the incident they failed to adequately demonstrate the harm that would result from allowing the UFC to continue.
