Donald Trump calls off planned live stream of firing squad execution

Key points

• US President Donald Trump has said the planned live stream of Nidal Hasan's execution by firing squad will not go ahead. The Pentagon had scheduled the execution for December 3.
• Hasan was convicted over a 2009 shooting at a Texas military base that killed 13 soldiers. The plan drew criticism from Republicans and Democrats in the US, and from Australian politicians.
• Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said social media platforms had a responsibility not to broadcast it. Trump said immediate family members of the victims may still watch in person.
