Report on Obama and nothing else

Journalists travelling with Barack Obama to Saudi Arabia have been told to report only on the visit and nothing else.

This is what one journalist received from the US state department

The Saudi government is permitting journalists accompanying President Obama entry into the country without a visa or the usual customs procedures. While in Saudi Arabia, therefore, journalists are expressly prohibited from leaving the hotel or engaging in any journalistic activities outside of coverage of the POTUS visit. Those who do so risk arrest and detention by Saudi authorities.
