0:00:15 > 0:00:17with Donald Trump's controversial changes to who is

0:00:17 > 0:00:18allowed into America.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21Yesterday President Trump said people from seven mostly Muslim

0:00:21 > 0:00:23countries would not be allowed into the US for at

0:00:23 > 0:00:24least three months.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26Mrs May was criticised for not speaking out against it yesterday,

0:00:26 > 0:00:30but has now said although America should be free to make its own rules

0:00:30 > 0:00:31she doesn't agree with the ban.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34There are also worries about how it could affect British people

0:00:34 > 0:00:44who were born in those seven countries.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49Prince William and Prince Harry have announced plans to create

0:00:49 > 0:00:51a statue of their mum, Diana, Princess of Wales, on the

0:00:51 > 0:00:5220th anniversary of her death.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54The statue will be built at Kensignton Palace,

0:00:54 > 0:00:56where the royal brothers both live.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58The princes say they hope the statue will recognise Diana's positive

0:00:58 > 0:01:01impact in the UK and around the world because they say

0:01:01 > 0:01:07she touched so many lives.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09This is Alice.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13She is 15 and has trouble seeing, but now her life has been

0:01:13 > 0:01:15transformed by Billy, her very own guide dog.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18Alice is one of the youngest people in the country

0:01:18 > 0:01:19to be given a guide dog.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21The pair go everywhere together, including school.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Take a look at this.

0:01:24 > 0:01:25It is a new term

0:01:25 > 0:01:28and there is a new face at this high school in Nottinghamshire.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31A very furry one.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Billy the Labrador is just one of around 50 expert pups

0:01:34 > 0:01:37helping to guide blind children

0:01:37 > 0:01:42or those who have problems with their sight in England.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46I think it's good because I don't have to constantly have

0:01:46 > 0:01:48to have people watching me.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51It gives me a little bit more freedom.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54In the past, guide dogs were not paired with children

0:01:54 > 0:01:56because they were thought to be too much of responsibility

0:01:56 > 0:01:57for a young person.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01But now the rules have changed.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04The amount of work that you have to do with him and

0:02:04 > 0:02:07the responsibility is overwhelming.

0:02:07 > 0:02:11But, if you put the work in, you get a good result out of it.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14These two have been together since October

0:02:14 > 0:02:19and are getting on just fine.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Having Billy in school just allows her to gain that

0:02:22 > 0:02:23independence and resilience, confidence, and go

0:02:23 > 0:02:25through her school life as every other child would.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29The school have had to create a quiet area for Billy to rest

0:02:29 > 0:02:31in and somewhere for him to walk.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34And he has been a big hit with the rest of the pupils, too.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36He is a bit of a poser.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40They did see the novelty would wear off, but everybody still love seven.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43They did see the novelty would wear off, but everybody still loves him.
