:00:08. > :00:14.President Trump defends his temporary ban on citizens

:00:15. > :00:20.from seven countries entering the United States.

:00:21. > :00:22.There have been angry protests in the United States -

:00:23. > :00:25.and still some confusion over who it applies to.

:00:26. > :00:32.The President blames chaos at airports on a computer outage,

:00:33. > :00:38.and mocks Democrats involved in the protests.

:00:39. > :00:46.Shock Schumer yesterday with fake tears. I will ask who is his acting

:00:47. > :00:49.coach will stop -- Chuck Schumer. I'll speak to some of those

:00:50. > :00:51.affected by the policy - and hear from Trump voters

:00:52. > :00:58.who are fully behind it. As far as security to our country,

:00:59. > :01:05.threats to our country, if they feel this is necessary, I am with it all

:01:06. > :01:07.the way. No matter how high I get in my career, it will still be the

:01:08. > :01:09.Syrian Muslim, that will be it. Here in the UK - nearly one

:01:10. > :01:12.and a half million signatures. The petition calling for the UK

:01:13. > :01:15.government to abandon Donald Trump's proposed state visit to Britain

:01:16. > :01:32.is growing - but Theresa May I have issued that invitation, the

:01:33. > :01:37.invitation to President Trump to the United Kingdom and that protest

:01:38. > :01:45.stands. The protests are beginning in London tonight. The Foreign

:01:46. > :01:46.Secretary says UK passport holders and dual nationals will not be

:01:47. > :01:49.affected by the ban. I'm Katty Kay in Washington

:01:50. > :01:53.and Christian Fraser's in London. Week two of the Trump administration

:01:54. > :01:56.- and already there are legal challenges to one of the President's

:01:57. > :02:00.key election pledges - the introduction of a temporary ban

:02:01. > :02:02.on refugees and visa holders from seven majority Muslim

:02:03. > :02:06.countries, including Iraq and Syria. Today European governments have

:02:07. > :02:09.been seeking further clarity on who is banned,

:02:10. > :02:13.and who is not. But Mr Trump makes no apology

:02:14. > :02:16.for the way the ban was implemented, as Nick Bryant reports

:02:17. > :02:20.from New York. A policy intended to

:02:21. > :02:25.defend America is seen by protestors as an attack

:02:26. > :02:31.on American values. And the demonstrations

:02:32. > :02:33.against the travel ban brought This was Portland,

:02:34. > :02:40.Oregon and an angry clash between supporters and opponents

:02:41. > :02:46.of the president. Inside airports there has been great

:02:47. > :02:54.confusion over who should be allowed into America,

:02:55. > :02:56.partly because the ban was implemented so quickly

:02:57. > :02:59.without consultation with the relevant

:03:00. > :03:02.government agencies. And it wasn't just Muslim

:03:03. > :03:04.arrivals who struggled This was the leading Democrat

:03:05. > :03:09.on Capitol Hill, Chuck Schumer. It was mean spirited

:03:10. > :03:24.and un-American. This morning at the White

:03:25. > :03:26.House, President Trump I noticed Chuck Schumer

:03:27. > :03:32.with fake tears yesterday. It was the protestors thronging

:03:33. > :03:41.airports who Donald Trump claims are responsible for any chaos

:03:42. > :03:46.over the weekend. Then an airline computer glitch

:03:47. > :03:51.grounded more than 150 flights. He defended his travel

:03:52. > :03:54.ban on Twitter. He said there was nothing nice

:03:55. > :03:57.about searching for terrorists This was a big part of my

:03:58. > :04:05.campaign, study the world. The bad would rush

:04:06. > :04:07.into our country in a week. Over the water from

:04:08. > :04:17.the Statue of Liberty, is Staten Island, the only New York

:04:18. > :04:20.borough to vote for Donald Trump. Here there is strong

:04:21. > :04:22.support for the travel ban. Whatever needs to be

:04:23. > :04:24.done, has to be done. We live in a country of democracy

:04:25. > :04:30.and if the majority of people feel they are threatened and wants

:04:31. > :04:32.to have things in place, then we should be able

:04:33. > :04:37.to have things in place. Donald Trump boasted throughout

:04:38. > :04:40.the campaign he was a businessman But even members of his own

:04:41. > :04:44.party have been critical of the botched roll-out

:04:45. > :04:48.of a signature policy. In the past few hours

:04:49. > :04:58.the Foreign Secretary here in the UK has clarified again

:04:59. > :05:01.that the extreme vetting programme will not apply to British citizens

:05:02. > :05:07.with dual nationality. But - today American

:05:08. > :05:09.embassies around On the Facebook page

:05:10. > :05:14.of the Embassy in Berlin, officials said any "national or dual

:05:15. > :05:17.national" from the seven affected countries should not

:05:18. > :05:19.schedule a visa appointment. Well, we've been speaking

:05:20. > :05:21.to one woman directly affected by the ban -

:05:22. > :05:23.Batool Shannan. She is a Syrian scientist who lives

:05:24. > :05:26.in Essen in North Germany, who had already obtained a visa

:05:27. > :05:42.to visit the US. I asked her how she felt as a Muslim

:05:43. > :05:48.who was effectively locked out of the country. I had never thought of

:05:49. > :05:54.myself as different. The religion is personal. It is part of you. But you

:05:55. > :05:58.don't really show it around. I am not the kind of person who goes

:05:59. > :06:04.around saying, I am a Muslim. I am not really a practising Muslim. A

:06:05. > :06:08.lot of people cannot guess because of my parents but once they know I

:06:09. > :06:13.come from Syria, they make the connection. It is really demeaning.

:06:14. > :06:18.That is probably a strong word but the way I feel about it, no matter

:06:19. > :06:25.what I do on the matter how high I get in my career, it will still be

:06:26. > :06:30.the Syrian Muslim, that will be it. Everything else will be stripped

:06:31. > :06:34.away. You can never be equal to the people here, for example. Not here

:06:35. > :06:38.literally in Germany, but in general. You are not measured by

:06:39. > :06:43.your achievements, you are measured by the two things you cannot

:06:44. > :06:47.control, like your citizenship is given to you at birth, and your

:06:48. > :06:51.religion is usually chosen by parents. You can choose whatever you

:06:52. > :06:56.want to do with it but like I said, it is private. I am not prepared to

:06:57. > :07:03.share it with anybody, because I didn't hurt anybody with it, it is

:07:04. > :07:08.mine. Batool Shannan speaking to us earlier. When we looked at the

:07:09. > :07:14.concept of this programme, 100 days, some people said, is it 100 days of

:07:15. > :07:19.Donald Trump, or is it 100 days of how things are affected around the

:07:20. > :07:22.world. What really became clear is the two things were deeply

:07:23. > :07:31.connected. We have seen that very clearly over the course of the last

:07:32. > :07:39.few days. I think we have lost Katty. That is the problem being

:07:40. > :07:46.3000 miles apart. There she is. 3000 miles apart and a technical glitch!

:07:47. > :07:50.We were pains to point out that the 100 days did not just apply to

:07:51. > :07:55.Donald Trump's presidency, but also how it would affect security, the

:07:56. > :08:02.economy and defence around the world. We got a sense of how the

:08:03. > :08:06.world really is. You have to be aware of how far the White House is

:08:07. > :08:10.aware of what the fallout would be from the executive order on Friday,

:08:11. > :08:15.in terms of what allies around the world would think. But also if they

:08:16. > :08:21.care. How much is the White House national security team, in terms of

:08:22. > :08:26.secretary of defence, the secretary of State, the head of the CIA, are

:08:27. > :08:31.they on board with this? Because they are the ones who have to deal

:08:32. > :08:36.in terms of collecting intelligence, in terms of formulating policy with

:08:37. > :08:40.America's allies and this is not good for America. I have lived in

:08:41. > :08:44.America for 25 years and the only time I have seen at global reaction

:08:45. > :08:51.like this was in the run-up to the Iraq war because of what George Bush

:08:52. > :08:56.was doing. A lot of this has been about Steve Bannon, one of the

:08:57. > :09:05.senior advisers to Donald Trump will stop he was once in charge of

:09:06. > :09:11.Breibart. Some people are saying he is now supplanting the military top

:09:12. > :09:17.brass. Some are saying the military top brass are not excluded although

:09:18. > :09:22.that did seem the position of the executive order which is now signed.

:09:23. > :09:27.George Bush specifically said he did not want Karl rove, who was a

:09:28. > :09:30.political appointees come in on those intelligence meetings because

:09:31. > :09:38.he wanted it pure intelligence, not litter sized intelligence. We can

:09:39. > :09:44.now speak to retired Army General Wesley Clark. He served that Nato

:09:45. > :09:49.and was a former presidential candidate on the Democrat side. He

:09:50. > :09:55.is in Little Rock, Arkansas. I want to ask you about this travel ban on

:09:56. > :10:00.immigrants from seven countries. As a security matter, it is a mistake.

:10:01. > :10:06.It does not help your security. First, you cannot win the war at the

:10:07. > :10:10.border, second we might be doing what is called extreme vetting of

:10:11. > :10:13.people in the country anyway. Third, it does alienate us from governments

:10:14. > :10:17.who are trying to help off abroad, and defeat since the Al-Qaeda and

:10:18. > :10:23.Isis propaganda lines. You can only view this in terms of follow-through

:10:24. > :10:28.on a campaign pledge terms of American domestic politics. It is

:10:29. > :10:33.like the other executive orders which was signed in the first week

:10:34. > :10:36.of the Trump administration. It could be called the education of

:10:37. > :10:40.Donald Trump. It could be called something else. But you cannot

:10:41. > :10:48.govern the country with executive orders which are not coordinated and

:10:49. > :10:54.apparently this wasn't. I will not ask what else you would call this!

:10:55. > :10:58.You and I know that if you poll the American public, as polls have been

:10:59. > :11:05.done recently on stricter immigration procedures, he

:11:06. > :11:11.campaigned radically on tougher administration Leave immigration

:11:12. > :11:15.procedures. He is just following through on what he campaigned on.

:11:16. > :11:24.You could argue that but the consequences were not foreseen

:11:25. > :11:27.because the circumstances were not understood. If you polled the

:11:28. > :11:34.American public, 70% are in favour of tighter gun control but we will

:11:35. > :11:41.not get that and 70% are in favour of family planning but this runs

:11:42. > :11:47.counter to the mandate in office. This is the rough and tumble of

:11:48. > :11:53.politics. General Clark, as a former supreme Allied Commander, spell it

:11:54. > :11:58.out for us a little bit more specifically, how this might hurt

:11:59. > :12:03.American national security? Well, we have to work with our allies and the

:12:04. > :12:08.Allies have to work with us. We have had mixed messages from the Trump

:12:09. > :12:13.administration and figures within the Trump administration on Nato. I

:12:14. > :12:18.thought we got some clarity with Prime Minister May's visit last

:12:19. > :12:22.week. They both agreed that Nato was important but beyond that, when you

:12:23. > :12:26.get into specific issues, you have to do intelligence sharing, you have

:12:27. > :12:29.to talk about people, you have to talk about groups with Muslim

:12:30. > :12:33.countries, because they are the ones who know these groups and people

:12:34. > :12:37.best. If you cut off your relationships with those countries

:12:38. > :12:44.and think you can build a wall, literally or figurative Lee around

:12:45. > :12:47.America and Europe, you are making a mistake. You are not strengthening

:12:48. > :12:53.security, you are weakening it. How would you advise your European

:12:54. > :12:59.allies to deal with the Trump administration on this issue? Well,

:13:00. > :13:06.on this issue, I think you have got to go back through all the different

:13:07. > :13:09.methods of reaching out. We have intelligence to intelligence, state

:13:10. > :13:13.to Foreign Ministry, state to defence cooperation, we have

:13:14. > :13:18.alliance organisations, we have economic. You have to come back on

:13:19. > :13:25.every single issue, on every single connection point back to the

:13:26. > :13:30.administration, as well as having the ambassador talking to the state

:13:31. > :13:37.department. You have business people who have been dealing with Donald

:13:38. > :13:43.Trump. There are UK businessmen who know Donald Trump. Maybe they have a

:13:44. > :13:52.view on this? That is general Clark from Arkansas. His guide on dealing

:13:53. > :14:03.with the Trump administration! There has been some more news in

:14:04. > :14:08.Washington. On Twitter Donald Trump said he would reveal the nomination

:14:09. > :14:11.for the Supreme Court live. The president says he will

:14:12. > :14:13.announce his choice On Twitter, Mr Trump wrote he'll

:14:14. > :14:17.reveal his nomination live There's been a vacancy

:14:18. > :14:20.on the Supreme Court bench since last February,

:14:21. > :14:22.after the death of Mr Trump said he'd be nominating

:14:23. > :14:25.someone who was "pro-life". Police in Canada say they've

:14:26. > :14:28.arrested a suspect after a mosque Six people were killed and at least

:14:29. > :14:32.a dozen others were injured, when shots were fired

:14:33. > :14:33.inside the building Another man was arrested

:14:34. > :14:37.and police say, he's now Canada's Prime Minister Justin

:14:38. > :14:40.Trudeau says it was a terrorist The Australian government says

:14:41. > :14:44.the US has agreed to honour a deal to resettle refugees currently

:14:45. > :14:46.being held in off-shore detention Mr Obama had agreed

:14:47. > :14:49.to take on refugees on Manus Island and Nauru -

:14:50. > :14:52.and there were doubts about whether Mr Trump would follow

:14:53. > :14:55.through given his latest travel ban. Many of the refugees

:14:56. > :15:02.are from Iran, Iraq and Syria. A petition to cancel

:15:03. > :15:06.President Trump's state visit to the UK has just reached

:15:07. > :15:08.1.4 million signatures. Members of Parliament

:15:09. > :15:10.have criticised the ban, and will debate the state

:15:11. > :15:14.visit on Tuesday. As we mentioned a little earlier

:15:15. > :15:17.the British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has been addressing

:15:18. > :15:30.parliament in the past few hours - The general principle is that all

:15:31. > :15:41.British passport holders remain welcome to travel to the US. We have

:15:42. > :15:44.received assurances, we have received assurances from the US

:15:45. > :15:50.Embassy that this executive order will make no difference to any

:15:51. > :15:54.British passport holder, irrespective of their country of

:15:55. > :16:00.birth, or whether they hold another passport. That is the current

:16:01. > :16:01.Foreign Secretary, let's speak to the former Conservative Foreign

:16:02. > :16:10.Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind. What do you make of this petition?

:16:11. > :16:15.Well, I think it genuinely reflects the views of a large number of

:16:16. > :16:18.people in the United Kingdom, but you cannot conduct International

:16:19. > :16:23.Relations on the basis of the number of people who may or may not have

:16:24. > :16:29.signed a petition. But there is a general feeling that maybe the

:16:30. > :16:34.extension of a state visit was held out too early, was not something we

:16:35. > :16:39.could have held back? Cull you seem to misunderstand the point of state

:16:40. > :16:43.visits. They are not meant to be a personal to the individual invited,

:16:44. > :16:47.nor a reward for treatment they have carried out. We had a state visit

:16:48. > :16:50.from the President of China a few months ago and China is not exactly

:16:51. > :16:55.a democratic country that respects human rights but it was crucial in

:16:56. > :16:59.order to advance the United Kingdom was my interests and influence China

:17:00. > :17:03.in its behaviour. If that is true of China it is to be at least as true

:17:04. > :17:08.when you're dealing with someone who whatever we think of them, and I

:17:09. > :17:12.have no admirer of Mr Trump, but he is the democratically elected

:17:13. > :17:16.President of the United States. I understand no US President has been

:17:17. > :17:20.offered a state visit in his first year of office. Because previous

:17:21. > :17:25.Presidents were already established political figures. We are dealing

:17:26. > :17:30.with somebody who nobody expected to be President. This is a crucial

:17:31. > :17:34.period for trying to get some opportunity to be able to influence

:17:35. > :17:39.his decisions both now and over the weeks and months ahead. Clearly, a

:17:40. > :17:43.state visit of the kind that is proposed bills on what has already

:17:44. > :17:49.been achieved by Theresa May in her meeting in Washington. The United

:17:50. > :17:52.Kingdom has an opportunity to influence the President at this

:17:53. > :17:55.moment in time probably more than any other foreign head of

:17:56. > :17:59.government. That is something we will use in a positive way. The

:18:00. > :18:04.Prime Minister has made clear on this issue that is captivating

:18:05. > :18:11.attention today, the UK strongly disagrees with the measures in the

:18:12. > :18:14.executive order. Let's have a listen to the Prime Minister, who is in

:18:15. > :18:20.Dublin today as a guest of Enda Kenny. This is what she had to say

:18:21. > :18:23.on the travel ban. In relation to the policies that have been

:18:24. > :18:28.announced by the United States, the UK takes a different approach. I was

:18:29. > :18:32.Home Secretary for six years and at no stage did I introduce those sorts

:18:33. > :18:40.of arrangements. So obviously, President Trump is now moving to put

:18:41. > :18:45.into place what he had said he would do, but we have a different approach

:18:46. > :18:49.to these matters in the UK. Theresa May, speaking in Dublin. Sir

:18:50. > :18:53.Malcolm, I just wanted to ask, your advice to Theresa May is to deal

:18:54. > :18:56.with Donald Trump in a polite but firm way on issues she might

:18:57. > :19:01.disagree with him on. You could argue that is exactly what she did

:19:02. > :19:06.on Friday and did not really get very far. No sooner is she on the

:19:07. > :19:11.plane back to UK and Turkey, this row erupts over the immigration

:19:12. > :19:17.bill, making her look a little like Tony Blair did with George Bush. I

:19:18. > :19:20.was not present at these power conversations but we have no

:19:21. > :19:28.indication they discussed refugee questions. It was her ability to say

:19:29. > :19:32.without any contribution by him but he is 100% in favour of Nato, which

:19:33. > :19:36.is a big step in the right direction compared to what you're saying

:19:37. > :19:40.during the election campaign. As far as the current controversy is

:19:41. > :19:44.concerned, I think the UK Government has two responsibilities, the first

:19:45. > :19:48.which it has already done is to say clearly and unambiguously that it

:19:49. > :19:52.disapproves, disagrees with the executive order and thinks there's a

:19:53. > :19:57.very unwise decision. The second obligation is to use the diplomatic

:19:58. > :20:02.means available to it to seek to influence changes in that decision.

:20:03. > :20:05.Already, by getting the Foreign Secretary and the Home Secretary to

:20:06. > :20:09.get in touch with their counterparts in Washington, we have had it

:20:10. > :20:13.clarified that those with dual nationality will not be affected by

:20:14. > :20:17.the band. They does not resolve the overall controversy but it is a big

:20:18. > :20:23.step for tens of thousands of people who are affected by that. -- by the

:20:24. > :20:28.ban. By good chance, we have a Prime Minister who already has a very

:20:29. > :20:34.constructive personal relationship with the American President. I'd

:20:35. > :20:39.remember, was Margaret Thatcher's -- in Margaret Thatcher's government

:20:40. > :20:42.and involved with meetings she had with Mr Gorbachev, they totally

:20:43. > :20:47.disagreed with each other, however, by personal conversation in a

:20:48. > :20:51.constructive way, she was able to end up saying, this is a man with

:20:52. > :20:55.whom we can do business, and that led to the end of the Cold War,

:20:56. > :21:00.through President Reagan as well, without a shot being fired. On this

:21:01. > :21:03.petition, the wording is such that it is not really drawing issue with

:21:04. > :21:08.him coming to the UK, it is the capacity of the state visit. They

:21:09. > :21:11.worry he might embarrass the Queen. Maybe for our global viewers, you

:21:12. > :21:18.can explain why that might be the case. If I can say in the most

:21:19. > :21:22.respectful and loyal way, Her Majesty the Queen is not capable of

:21:23. > :21:28.being embarrassed. If you remember how difficult and painful it was

:21:29. > :21:33.when we did the deal with the IRA to bring peace in Northern Ireland, and

:21:34. > :21:39.the Queen at one stage had to shake hands with Gerry Adams and Martin

:21:40. > :21:43.McGuinness, and her own family, Lord Mountbatten, had been one of the

:21:44. > :21:46.people murdered by the IRA. The Queen is head of state and just as

:21:47. > :21:50.the rest of us often have to do things which we personally dislike,

:21:51. > :21:55.if we have public responsibilities, we have to decide what the interests

:21:56. > :21:59.of our country as a whole require of us, otherwise we should not be in

:22:00. > :22:05.that job. So the question of a state visit, state visits are more than

:22:06. > :22:08.just working visits, but they have a serious purpose, not just

:22:09. > :22:13.ceremonial, they are there in order to have the maximum impact on

:22:14. > :22:17.another head of government, with whom we can make important progress

:22:18. > :22:21.on things that we believe in and we wish to see advance. If we can do

:22:22. > :22:24.that better to a state visit than without one, there is not the

:22:25. > :22:28.slightest doubt in my mind that that is the right thing to do. The

:22:29. > :22:33.sooner, the better. Because Donald Trump, like his predecessors, need

:22:34. > :22:37.advice, is less aware of foreign policy in particular, than most any

:22:38. > :22:39.of his predecessors over the last 50 years. Sir Malcolm, thank you for

:22:40. > :22:49.being with us. Very interesting to hear his defence

:22:50. > :22:54.of the rationale behind the state visit and why that is a good idea,

:22:55. > :22:58.he seems to be saying, at the moment. And also his defence, I

:22:59. > :23:02.think, of Theresa May and the efforts she has made to try to

:23:03. > :23:07.influence the White House, when of course as you know, those protesters

:23:08. > :23:10.are thinking actually, she seems to have caved too much. But there have

:23:11. > :23:14.been protests across the Middle East as well reacting to Mr Trump's

:23:15. > :23:20.travel ban. The BBC has heard stories around the whole region. In

:23:21. > :23:27.Iraq, the Parliament has called for retaliation and a ban on Americans

:23:28. > :23:30.visiting. More than 12,000 of those refugees were from Syria. Alex

:23:36. > :23:40.A desperate sound but all too familiar for the UN's refugee

:23:41. > :23:44.reception in Beirut. This is where hundreds of thousands of those who

:23:45. > :23:49.fled Syria come for aid or advice. This morning, along with the usual

:23:50. > :23:53.queues and quiet resignation, there was added frustration now Syrian

:23:54. > :23:59.refugees have been banned from the US. For two years, Yasser has wanted

:24:00. > :24:02.to find a new country in which he can settle. He said today, even if

:24:03. > :24:09.given the chance, he would never go to America. TRANSLATION: I do not

:24:10. > :24:12.want to go to a racist country that discriminate against Arabs and

:24:13. > :24:18.Muslims. For others, it is another hope fading. Like this man,

:24:19. > :24:22.desperate to leave Lebanon -- this woman, desperate to leave Lebanon

:24:23. > :24:26.and get help for her cancer ridden child. She told me, I just want to

:24:27. > :24:29.be treated like any other human being, look in a country which

:24:30. > :24:32.protect my rights and helps my children.

:24:33. > :24:35.Only a fraction of Syrian refugees would have been eligible for

:24:36. > :24:40.resettlement in the United States. Those deemed to be the most

:24:41. > :24:43.vulnerable. Yet, still here, news of President Trump's executive order

:24:44. > :24:49.has increased the sense of hopelessness. Many feel another door

:24:50. > :24:52.is now closed to them. Elsewhere, there is anger as cases emerge of

:24:53. > :24:58.legitimate residents being stopped from returning to America. Like Ali,

:24:59. > :25:03.from Iraq, who has lived near LA for three years but is stuck in Jordan

:26:18. > :26:25.We have seen a lot of cloud today, rather misty and murky day as well

:26:26. > :26:30.with temperatures in double figures, perhaps here in Swanage, but there

:26:31. > :26:34.was some sunshine across Scotland, chilly here, with of fog and we also

:26:35. > :26:39.had some sunshine across the far North of England. You can see the

:26:40. > :26:44.difference in temperature from earlier as well. Double figures

:26:45. > :26:47.towards the South West, nearer three Celsius in the Highlands. Tumbling

:26:48. > :26:51.for a while in Scotland and the north-east England. Then all this

:26:52. > :26:56.cloud comes in is lovely from the West, bringing rain and drizzle. The

:26:57. > :26:58.more substantial rain comes into Northern Ireland and western

:26:59. > :27:03.Scotland later. The wind picking up and a lot of low cloud, Sam Hill fog

:27:04. > :27:07.and pretty mild. But chilly for a while across eastern areas.

:27:47. > :27:49.some sunshine. That rain pushing East across Scotland. It will be

:27:50. > :27:54.rather heavy at times. Gusty winds as well. A chilly wind blowing

:30:26. > :30:30.Donald Trump is making no apologies for the way his travel ban was

:30:31. > :30:35.implemented across the weekend. And how much of a dusty how to push

:30:36. > :30:47.these changes through? We will have a look at President Trump's

:30:48. > :30:51.popularity. We do have some news coming in to us. It is from the

:30:52. > :30:54.office of the former President Barack Obama. This is his first date

:30:55. > :30:57.men since leaving the White House men since leaving the White House

:30:58. > :31:02.and his officers President Obama fundamentally disagrees with the

:31:03. > :31:08.notion of discriminating because of faith or religion. The statement

:31:09. > :31:13.says he has been heartened by the civic engagement of the country.

:31:14. > :31:18.has had a lot to say about President has had a lot to say about President

:31:19. > :31:24.Obama's presidency. Is it usual to get involved this soon? I am

:31:25. > :31:29.surprised he is getting involved this soon but I'm not surprised

:31:30. > :31:35.because of the protests we saw at the weekend. Barack Obama did say

:31:36. > :31:39.that he felt if there were issues of the fundamental nature of the values

:31:40. > :31:45.of America and what it meant to the American then he would weigh in on

:31:46. > :31:52.them. At the time the suggestion was about immigration and Hispanics but

:31:53. > :31:56.now the president feels he needs to get involved in this. He did say he

:31:57. > :32:04.would leave office and be quiet for a bit.

:32:05. > :32:06.The one foreign policy area that has defeated all US presidents,

:32:07. > :32:09.is finding a negotiated settlement to the Israeli Palestinian conflict.

:32:10. > :32:11.It's no secret that Barack Obama saw Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

:32:12. > :32:14.as one of the main impediments to peace, particularly when it came

:32:15. > :32:17.to the building of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

:32:18. > :32:22.In contrast, Donald Trump has vowed to be Israel's "best friend".

:32:23. > :32:28.He has invited Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on February 15. We

:32:29. > :32:30.have just heard that. He condemned a UN Security Council

:32:31. > :32:32.resolution last year, that called for a halt to settlement

:32:33. > :32:35.building, and he has promised to move the US embassy

:32:36. > :32:46.in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Politics changes but Jewish

:32:47. > :32:53.tradition remains. The ancient ritual of transcribing the Torah for

:32:54. > :32:58.prayer boxes. From this factory in a settlement, this man has seen

:32:59. > :33:04.American Presidents come and go. Now he hopes Donald Trump will write a

:33:05. > :33:08.new chapter in US Israel relations. Obama came and Obama went, thank

:33:09. > :33:18.God. That is what we think about Obama. Let's hope that we won't have

:33:19. > :33:23.to think the same about Trump in four or eight years from now.

:33:24. > :33:31.Rhetoric is cheap. Talk is cheap. Actions speak. Ties weakened under

:33:32. > :33:35.President Obama who was against settlement building. The final blow

:33:36. > :33:43.was allowing a resolution against it to pass at the UN. Israel was

:33:44. > :33:49.furious. Because Israel is tough and smart and strong and Israel has been

:33:50. > :33:54.sold out by Obama. Donald Trump has taken a far more pro-Israel line,

:33:55. > :34:00.vowing to move the Embassy to Jerusalem. He said he would be

:34:01. > :34:03.Israel's best friend in America. This settlement is deep in the

:34:04. > :34:12.occupied West Bank which Palestinians want for a free state.

:34:13. > :34:18.David Friedman, the President's pic for US ambassador, the President's

:34:19. > :34:24.son and son-in-law have donated to it. He will not limit us like Obama

:34:25. > :34:29.did. Maybe the world will change their approach to follow Donald

:34:30. > :34:33.Trump. That the Palestinians say it is also their territory.

:34:34. > :34:40.TRANSLATION: The Arabs claim it is theirs, it is not all birds. Those

:34:41. > :34:49.who want to come and live in peace can but otherwise they can go. They

:34:50. > :34:55.America, sort of, is entrenched America, sort of, is entrenched

:34:56. > :35:00.here, but they fear support from Washington is burning away. The

:35:01. > :35:04.language we have heard, particularly the language of ideology, that

:35:05. > :35:09.Israel can do no wrong and the US will be the victim of Israel, and in

:35:10. > :35:15.many ways the partner of Israel in its illegal activities, this is

:35:16. > :35:20.serious cause for alarm, and if it moves its embassy, then there is no

:35:21. > :35:27.reason to talk about any solution because it is finished. It is done

:35:28. > :35:31.for. This is where a US embassy injuries in a stand, but the Trump

:35:32. > :35:37.administration has now lowered expectations saying discussions are

:35:38. > :35:41.at a very early stage. For years, the US has leased this empty plot

:35:42. > :35:46.from Israel for the annual rent of a dollar. Successful presidents and

:35:47. > :35:50.candidates have vowed to move here and then ditched it. Now Donald

:35:51. > :35:54.Trump appears to be rowing back somewhat on the same promise. When

:35:55. > :35:58.it comes to the new president, nobody knows what his Middle East

:35:59. > :36:01.policy will be, whether an embassy will be built here and whether his

:36:02. > :36:09.rhetoric will translate into reality. So an unknown quantity that

:36:10. > :36:12.Israel's most important ally is renewing the relationship, and

:36:13. > :36:21.others in the region fear what it means for the borders of this

:36:22. > :36:27.contested land. Katty, it is an area I know well and

:36:28. > :36:30.in that part of the world they pay attention to coded signals. The one

:36:31. > :36:34.thing that might be different about this president is he is a

:36:35. > :36:38.transaction or president, he arranges things as if they are

:36:39. > :36:43.business deal, and I wonder if that might be a breath of fresh air for

:36:44. > :36:45.the Middle East peace process. You are right, he is transactional. At

:36:46. > :36:50.the weekend he spent an hour the weekend he spent an hour

:36:51. > :36:54.speaking to the king of Saudi Arabia and the ruler of the United Arab

:36:55. > :36:59.Emirates. A sign that having this uproar over the immigration ban, he

:37:00. > :37:03.was still going to deal with senior Arab officials. When it comes to the

:37:04. > :37:07.Israeli-Palestinian question, Donald Trump has made it clear he would

:37:08. > :37:11.like to be the American president who solves this problem and he has

:37:12. > :37:14.put his son-in-law Jared Kushner in charge of doing that so it is

:37:15. > :37:17.something he will focus on but there are a lot of problems in the Middle

:37:18. > :37:25.East as there are four other presidents. We will watch it

:37:26. > :37:27.closely. We are going to turn back to the travel ban.

:37:28. > :37:30.So some very noisy and visible protests this weekend in America.

:37:31. > :37:32.But does that reflect popular sentiment around the country.

:37:33. > :37:34.What are the polls telling us about Donald Trump's

:37:35. > :37:37.His approval ratings for an incoming president were pretty low.

:37:38. > :37:43.45% of Americans in favour, and by Saturday it had dropped to 42%.

:37:44. > :37:47.The inaugural address was broadly well received with around half

:37:48. > :37:52.We don't have any new polling on what they make of the travel ban

:37:53. > :37:54.but data collected earlier this month showed nearly half

:37:55. > :38:01.Here's what some of the Trump supporters on Staten Island

:38:02. > :38:14.We lived in a dangerous world on Donald Trump's number one job is to

:38:15. > :38:17.protect the American people. I have mixed feelings because members of my

:38:18. > :38:22.family came as immigrants and they came here in a much different time

:38:23. > :38:28.in history, and now with all the Lone wolves that operate and attack

:38:29. > :38:36.the US, we really need to have some form of betting in place. --

:38:37. > :38:41.vetting. I think circumstances in the Middle East over the last few

:38:42. > :38:46.years require a degree of caution that we have not been exercising

:38:47. > :38:51.before so I do think it is important. I'd trust him. His number

:38:52. > :38:55.one job is to protect the American people and he said he would do it so

:38:56. > :39:00.that is why he was voted in. Do I agree with everything he is doing

:39:01. > :39:08.right now? No, identical. But I feel he has a reason for doing what he is

:39:09. > :39:11.doing so we have to wait and see. My parents are immigrants as well.

:39:12. > :39:15.Although they came here legally with their own Visa and stuff like that.

:39:16. > :39:22.Hopefully, in the future they can also have a future in the way my

:39:23. > :39:25.people want to come to my country people want to come to my country

:39:26. > :39:28.and they want to live here and stay here, if the betting is part of the

:39:29. > :39:34.process, that should be acceptable to them as if I went to their

:39:35. > :39:39.country and there was a vetting process in place that I would have

:39:40. > :39:45.to abide by. But some of the people at the airport had already had their

:39:46. > :39:49.visa checks. We are very threatened in this country and there are a lot

:39:50. > :39:54.of things which our government know about in terms of threats to our

:39:55. > :39:57.country, and if they feel that this is necessary, then I am with it all

:39:58. > :40:03.the way. There we go. It is important to

:40:04. > :40:05.remember there are a lot of people in America who stand. Where behind

:40:06. > :40:07.the president. A lot of the criticism there has

:40:08. > :40:10.been, has focused not on the controls the President

:40:11. > :40:12.was trying to introduce, more on the way they

:40:13. > :40:14.have been implemented. Let's speak to Professor

:40:15. > :40:16.Jonathan Turley - he's a legal scholar

:40:17. > :40:26.from George Washington Professor, let's unpack this, is the

:40:27. > :40:32.law on President Trump's side with this immigration ban? I think he

:40:33. > :40:35.definitely has the advantage. Part of the problem we are seeing is

:40:36. > :40:42.there is plenty to disagree about this executive order. I happen to

:40:43. > :40:46.think it is a terrible mistake, but what the court looks like is not a

:40:47. > :40:52.policy or how it is rolled out, but whether a president has the

:40:53. > :40:57.authority to suspend entries at the border. For the president, his

:40:58. > :40:59.powers at the border, courts have generally deferred to presidents. It

:41:00. > :41:03.is ironic to hear President Obama is ironic to hear President Obama

:41:04. > :41:10.object because last year he told the Supreme Court that he doesn't

:41:11. > :41:21.believe the federal courts should be second-guessing his policies on Ed

:41:22. > :41:24.immigration. He said he fundamentally disagrees with the

:41:25. > :41:30.notion of discriminating against individuals based on their faith or

:41:31. > :41:36.religion. Could that get President Trump into legal trouble? I think it

:41:37. > :41:40.is going to be difficult for a judge to come in and say I will reject the

:41:41. > :41:47.National security claims of the president here or to say it is

:41:48. > :41:51.unconstitutional to bar entry from particular countries. Jimmy Carter,

:41:52. > :41:55.Barack Obama himself, have isolated countries in the past that they

:41:56. > :41:59.believe our national security risks. One thing that will not happen in my

:42:00. > :42:05.view is a federal judge will not view this as a Muslim ban, because

:42:06. > :42:09.technically it is not. We can talk about motivations but federal courts

:42:10. > :42:14.do not get into motivations. They look at this rather dispassionately.

:42:15. > :42:23.They will see a ban that affects some but not most Muslim countries.

:42:24. > :42:30.Thank you, unpacking the legality of this. All of this, the politics, the

:42:31. > :42:37.legality, the international reaction, that is why we are doing

:42:38. > :42:41.this programme. There is a lot happening in Washington which

:42:42. > :42:46.affects our viewers around the world. Tomorrow we will be

:42:47. > :42:57.discussing the Supreme Court. The first Supreme Court nominee will be

:42:58. > :43:01.Days. Laura Trevelyan will be on Days. Laura Trevelyan will be on

:43:02. > :43:03.Facebook live after this. And we'll be back tomorrow,

:43:04. > :43:06.at the same time on BBC World News, and the BBC News Channel in the UK,

:43:07. > :43:11.looking at President Trump's pick
