And, after a career spanning six decades, tributes pour

in to the acclaimed actor Sir John Hurt who's died.

:01:14.:01:18.

There's been chaos and confusion at airports around the world tonight

:01:19.:01:39.

after America closed its borders to refugees and to citizens of seven

:01:40.:01:42.

Some travellers have already been held at US airports -

:01:43.:01:46.

while others were barred from boarding planes.

:01:47.:01:47.

President Trump's sweeping executive order means even some lawful US

:01:48.:01:50.

residents may be banned from returning to the United States

:01:51.:01:52.

Mr Trump said the move would keep out radical Islamic terrorists

:01:53.:01:56.

but civil rights campaigners say its unconstitutional and have

:01:57.:01:58.

Our Washington correspondent Gary O'Donoghue reports.

:01:59.:02:03.

Released after a night in detention, Hameed Jhalid Darweesh is one

:02:04.:02:05.

of the first to feel the bite of Donald Trump's

:02:06.:02:08.

America is the greatest nation, the greatest people in the world.

:02:09.:02:17.

Mr Darweesh got his visa to come to America on the very day

:02:18.:02:20.

He worked for a decade as an interpreter for the US

:02:21.:02:25.

military in Iraq and was awarded a special immigration visa

:02:26.:02:28.

His release followed lobbying by human rights groups

:02:29.:02:36.

Donald Trump, our President, doesn't get it.

:02:37.:02:41.

This is wrong and we're going to fight it, right

:02:42.:02:47.

here on the streets, we're going to fight it in court

:02:48.:02:51.

and we're going to fight it every place and in every

:02:52.:02:54.

It's just a day since Donald Trump ended his first frenetic week

:02:55.:03:01.

by fulfilling his promise to impose tough new immigration rules aimed

:03:02.:03:07.

Rules he says that will keep America safe from terrorism.

:03:08.:03:15.

I am establishing new vetting measures to keep radical

:03:16.:03:20.

Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America.

:03:21.:03:24.

People from Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Syria,

:03:25.:03:32.

Iraq and Iran cannot enter the US for 90 days, even if

:03:33.:03:35.

All refugees will be kept out for 120 days with the annual limit

:03:36.:03:43.

Syrian refugees will be barred from America indefinitely.

:03:44.:03:50.

This Iraqi-born software engineer has been advised to stay put.

:03:51.:03:56.

I had trips planned for yesterday and next week that I was going to go

:03:57.:03:59.

to Africa for business and I had to suspend all my travel

:04:00.:04:03.

and basically just sit still and that's how I ended

:04:04.:04:05.

I wasn't planning to be in Boston, but I am now here and, you know,

:04:06.:04:13.

waiting to see what's going to happen without really

:04:14.:04:15.

It's also emerged that people with a green card could also be

:04:16.:04:19.

banned from those seven named countries, despite the fact

:04:20.:04:22.

that the card gives you rights to employment and residence

:04:23.:04:25.

It's a move that could split families.

:04:26.:04:28.

There was one case where a wife was travelling back to Iran

:04:29.:04:33.

to visit her sick father, leaving behind her husband

:04:34.:04:38.

and their two-month-old son and now she is stuck in Iran and cannot get

:04:39.:04:41.

Donald Trump's immigration policy has brought condemnation from human

:04:42.:04:51.

rights groups and political opponents but his tough rhetoric

:04:52.:04:53.

was one of the most important factors in his election victory

:04:54.:04:56.

and he seems determined to follow through with it.

:04:57.:05:00.

Gary O'Donoghue is in Washington for us.

:05:01.:05:03.

I suppose the big question is can he really achieve what he is setting

:05:04.:05:13.

out to do? Well, first it was the visa and refugee ban, then we

:05:14.:05:17.

learned it was green cards, as well. Now we are learning that it is

:05:18.:05:20.

people with dual nationality who are potentially going to be affected by

:05:21.:05:24.

this ban. So, for example, if you have a British passport and an Iraqi

:05:25.:05:28.

passport, you won't be allowed to come into this country on your

:05:29.:05:32.

British passport for the next 90 days. Of course that will put

:05:33.:05:37.

pressure on people like Theresa May who said these rules are purely a

:05:38.:05:42.

matter for the United States. Meanwhile, Donald Trump himself, he

:05:43.:05:45.

says that this is not a Muslim ban, he says it is working out very

:05:46.:05:50.

nicely indeed. We will see if he faces any legal challenges in the

:05:51.:05:52.

days and weeks ahead. Thank you.

:05:53.:05:57.

Well, the Prime Minister Theresa May today repeatedly refused to condemn

:05:58.:06:00.

President Trump's immigration policy.

:06:01.:06:01.

She was speaking during a visit to Turkey where she announced

:06:02.:06:04.

a ?100 million deal to develop Turkish fighter jets.

:06:05.:06:06.

From Ankara, our political editor Laura Kuenssberg sent this report.

:06:07.:06:11.

Meeting a President used to doing perhaps whatever it

:06:12.:06:19.

Popular, feared too, after a coup that failed against him

:06:20.:06:26.

but she wants closer ties on trade and defence, but also

:06:27.:06:30.

to make British concerns about his behaviour clear.

:06:31.:06:33.

I am proud that the UK stood with you on 15th July last year

:06:34.:06:36.

Now it is important that Turkey sustains that democracy

:06:37.:06:42.

by maintaining the rule of law and upholding its international

:06:43.:06:47.

human rights obligations as the Government has

:06:48.:06:50.

TRANSLATION: It gives us great pleasure and it's a privilege

:06:51.:06:59.

to host Prime Minister Theresa May here in Turkey.

:07:00.:07:03.

We have had a meeting, a working lunch and discussions

:07:04.:07:07.

I hope will yield success for both of our countries.

:07:08.:07:10.

Just as Theresa May was the first leader to enter

:07:11.:07:22.

the Trump White House, she has today become the first

:07:23.:07:24.

western leader to come to President Erdogan's golden Palace

:07:25.:07:28.

in Ankara high up on the hill since the attempted

:07:29.:07:30.

Urging the importance of human rights, though,

:07:31.:07:33.

she has shown she was unafraid to speak her mind.

:07:34.:07:35.

Having delivered her message on human rights,

:07:36.:07:37.

The Prime Minister able to enjoy the parade and appear

:07:38.:07:42.

alongside her counterpart to announce a deal where British

:07:43.:07:47.

firm BAE will design Turkish fighter jets,

:07:48.:07:50.

the start of a partnership that Downing Street hopes

:07:51.:07:52.

But questions about her other new friend, President Trump,

:07:53.:08:00.

followed her to Turkey after the American leader

:08:01.:08:02.

banned some Muslims from entering the country.

:08:03.:08:04.

Asked three times whether she agreed with President Trump's ban,

:08:05.:08:07.

Well, the United States is responsible for the United States

:08:08.:08:12.

The United Kingdom is responsible for the United Kingdom's

:08:13.:08:18.

While marking the past, Theresa May is following her own

:08:19.:08:23.

She can't choose her fellow leaders, yet politicians,

:08:24.:08:35.

are sometimes judged by the company they keep.

:08:36.:08:38.

Tributes have been paid to the actor Sir John Hurt,

:08:39.:08:42.

He'd been suffering from pancreatic cancer.

:08:43.:08:52.

His career spanned over six decades and more than 120 films -

:08:53.:08:55.

including the Elephant Man, Alien, and Harry Potter.

:08:56.:08:57.

His widow said he was the most sublime of actors and the most

:08:58.:09:00.

John Hurt, as the deranged Roman Emperor Caligula

:09:01.:09:04.

Well, of course I ordered no triumphs.

:09:05.:09:17.

Do you think I'd order triumph for myself?!

:09:18.:09:19.

Yes, and you took me at my word, didn't you?

:09:20.:09:24.

I wear rouge, I wear mascara on my eyelashes, I dye my hair,

:09:25.:09:34.

I wear flamboyant clothes, far more outre than

:09:35.:09:36.

He was an unusual actor, instantly recognisable,

:09:37.:09:41.

Here, he played the notorious and flamboyant Quentin Crisp.

:09:42.:09:48.

People said it was a brave part to take on.

:09:49.:09:50.

Many people said, don't do that, you'll never work again, and so on.

:09:51.:09:54.

And I said but it's not about homosexuality,

:09:55.:09:56.

it's about the tenderness of the individual,

:09:57.:09:58.

as opposed to the cruelty of the crowd, really.

:09:59.:10:02.

His breakthrough had come in A Man For All Seasons

:10:03.:10:05.

in 1966, a small part in an Oscar-winning film.

:10:06.:10:07.

He earned an Oscar nomination himself for Midnight Express,

:10:08.:10:17.

in which he played a heroin addict in a Turkish prison.

:10:18.:10:19.

I'm very pleased to meet you, Mr Merrick.

:10:20.:10:23.

And another for his performance as the hideously disfigured

:10:24.:10:26.

Like Quentin Crisp, Merrick was an outsider

:10:27.:10:31.

Late in his career, he reached new audiences in Harry Potter.

:10:32.:10:39.

And in a guest appearance in Doctor Who.

:10:40.:10:49.

Why are you pointing your screwdrivers like that?

:10:50.:10:51.

In one of his last performances, he played a dying screenwriter,

:10:52.:10:54.

quoting lines from a famous Dylan Thomas poem.

:10:55.:10:58.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

:10:59.:11:02.

Old age should burn and rave at close of day.

:11:03.:11:05.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

:11:06.:11:09.

Today, his widow Anwen called him "The most sublime of actors

:11:10.:11:13.

With all the sport here's Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes

:11:14.:11:21.

Serena Williams has become the most successful tennis

:11:22.:11:27.

She beat her sister Venus to win the Australian Open,

:11:28.:11:31.

In the field of sporting achievement she now stands alone. This latest

:11:32.:11:45.

victory a defining chapter in the legend of Serena Williams, the twist

:11:46.:11:49.

in the tale only her sister could deny her a record 23rd Grand Slam.

:11:50.:11:55.

In the first game it looked like Serena had left any sisterly

:11:56.:12:01.

sentiment in the locker room. Sdmrp

:12:02.:12:03.

But Venus had her own fairytale to write, 36 years old, back from

:12:04.:12:08.

career-threatening illness, now with a chance of another Grand Slam title

:12:09.:12:12.

eight years since her last. After that initial frustration,

:12:13.:12:16.

though, and a replacement racquet, Serena began to settle.

:12:17.:12:23.

And rediscovering that devastating first serve.

:12:24.:12:27.

She took the first set. Venus made her little sister fight

:12:28.:12:32.

for her piece of history. But in the end Serena powered her

:12:33.:12:38.

way into the record books. Finally, number 23. There it is! Serena is

:12:39.:12:44.

the history-maker but for the past two decades she and Venus have

:12:45.:12:49.

revolutionised women's tennis. She's my inspiration, she is the only

:12:50.:12:52.

reason I am standing here and the only reason the Williams sisters

:12:53.:12:56.

exist, so thank you for inspooring smee, Venus. The record-broken, she

:12:57.:13:02.

has nothing left to prove but being Serena there will be much more to

:13:03.:13:03.

come. The fourth round of the FA Cup has

:13:04.:13:06.

caused quite a few upsets. Match of the Day follows the news,

:13:07.:13:10.

so if you want to wait for the results, then you need

:13:11.:13:13.
