:00:00. > :00:00.President Trump's travel ban sparks legal challenges

:00:00. > :00:14.As anger grows on the streets, 16 state attorney generals

:00:15. > :00:20.say the restrictions are unconstitutional.

:00:21. > :00:22.Travellers from seven named countries are now being denied

:00:23. > :00:26.entry, including this family of Christians from Syria.

:00:27. > :00:29.President Trump says the US needs extreme vetting policy,

:00:30. > :00:31.but there's been confusion about the impact on

:00:32. > :00:38.We'll be analysing the reaction and the call for President Trump's

:00:39. > :00:43.Also tonight: Parents' rights to take their children on holiday

:00:44. > :00:53.in term time face a new legal test - this time in the Supreme Court.

:00:54. > :01:17.And Roger Federer is back - winning an 18th Grand Slam title.

:01:18. > :01:20.President Trump is facing growing criticism tonight,

:01:21. > :01:23.both at home and abroad, over his controversial order

:01:24. > :01:27.restricting people from seven mainly Muslim countries

:01:28. > :01:33.The temporary ban on travellers from countries including Iraq,

:01:34. > :01:36.Syria and Somalia has seen people turned away at airports

:01:37. > :01:42.Tonight, there are more protests and legal challenges, but Mr Trump

:01:43. > :01:45.has defended his actions, saying America "needs borders

:01:46. > :01:58.Our first report is from Nick Bryant in New York.

:01:59. > :02:06.New York has always been the great gateway into America and

:02:07. > :02:11.demonstrators gathered in a highly emblematic setting. Under the gaze

:02:12. > :02:15.of the statue of liberty but today we have seen gatherings across the

:02:16. > :02:26.country. The fractious mood reminiscent of the 1960s. Protest is

:02:27. > :02:30.becoming a permanent feature of the Trump presidency and the

:02:31. > :02:40.demonstrations lasted deep into the early hours. Let them in, they

:02:41. > :02:43.chanted. It's an attack. On the very foundation of democracy.

:02:44. > :02:48.Demonstrations took place across the country. These are scenes in Boston

:02:49. > :02:53.as a US senator defied the president. I cannot believe this is

:02:54. > :02:55.happening. I knew Donald Trump would be bad but not this bad, not this

:02:56. > :03:03.fast. At this courthouse in Brooklyn fast. At this courthouse in Brooklyn

:03:04. > :03:06.became a late-night legal challenge and Civil Liberties lawyers emerge

:03:07. > :03:10.claiming victory as a federal judge blocked parts of the order

:03:11. > :03:19.temporarily banning all refugees and travel from seven Muslim majority

:03:20. > :03:22.countries. President from's orders are unconstitutional and illegal.

:03:23. > :03:30.What started as a protest outside this courthouse in Brooklyn has now

:03:31. > :03:38.become a celebration. At the arrivals hall in Dallas airport, the

:03:39. > :03:44.joy of reunion. A Muslim woman from Iraq finally making it back into the

:03:45. > :03:49.country. I get a call and they are telling me they are detaining my

:03:50. > :03:55.wife who is a green card holder, a legal resident of this country. But

:03:56. > :03:57.despite a court ruling and others making it through immigration, the

:03:58. > :04:02.Department of Homeland Security said it would continue to enforce the

:04:03. > :04:08.executive order. The president says his policy is working out very

:04:09. > :04:18.nicely and is defending it on twitter. An interview claim without

:04:19. > :04:25.any factual basis the old Obama policy favoured Muslims over

:04:26. > :04:28.Christians. If you are Christian in Syria, it would be impossible to

:04:29. > :04:32.into the US. If you were a Muslim into the US. If you were a Muslim

:04:33. > :04:38.you could come in and I thought it was very unfair. But this Christian

:04:39. > :04:42.family was refused entry even though they thought these visas offered

:04:43. > :04:48.them the chance of a new life. They were forced to fly back to Beirut.

:04:49. > :04:54.TRANSLATION: My son has been in America three

:04:55. > :04:59.years, they did not let me call him. There is no humanity. They had spent

:05:00. > :05:00.all their money on tickets and seen their American dream is eradicated

:05:01. > :05:02.with the stroke of a pen. Here, there are growing calls

:05:03. > :05:05.for President Trump's state visit to Britain to be called off,

:05:06. > :05:08.because of his travel crackdown. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has

:05:09. > :05:10.said it shouldn't happen while the ban is in place

:05:11. > :05:12.and an online petition making the same demand has attracted more

:05:13. > :05:16.than 500,000 signatures. Tonight, ministers have gained some

:05:17. > :05:20.clarification about the impact Our political correspondent

:05:21. > :05:36.Eleanor Garnier has the latest. New leaders and new friends. It was

:05:37. > :05:40.all going so well. Then just hours after Theresa May left Washington,

:05:41. > :05:46.Donald Trump enacted one of what many think is the most extreme of

:05:47. > :05:50.his campaign policies. By then the Prime Minister was in Turkey for

:05:51. > :05:56.trade talks where she avoided condemning the President's travel

:05:57. > :06:01.ban. The US is responsible for US policy on refugees. The UK is

:06:02. > :06:05.responsible for UK policy on refugees. But overnight a new

:06:06. > :06:10.statement clarifying the new premise to did not agree with this approach

:06:11. > :06:15.and condemnation from the Foreign Secretary who said it was divisive

:06:16. > :06:19.and wrong to stigmatise because of nationality. The British Olympian

:06:20. > :06:24.Sir Mo Farah was born in Somalia but lives with his family in America. He

:06:25. > :06:29.said he had been deeply troubled he would have to tell his children that

:06:30. > :06:33.daddy might not come home after a training camp in Ethiopian. The

:06:34. > :06:38.president, he added, had introduced a policy that came from a place of

:06:39. > :06:42.ignorance and prejudice. And government ministers were publicly

:06:43. > :06:48.echoing concerns. The Prime Minister is not a shoot from the hip type of

:06:49. > :06:53.politician. She wants to understand precisely what the implications are,

:06:54. > :07:03.there is always pressure to respond within a new cycle but the important

:07:04. > :07:06.thing is we are saying we disagree with it. Friends can be candid with

:07:07. > :07:09.each other, that is what the Prime Minister said. It now seems that is

:07:10. > :07:14.far easier in theory than it is in practice and having failed to live

:07:15. > :07:19.up to her own words once, there is criticism she has undermined her own

:07:20. > :07:23.strategy. The Foreign Office said tonight it had been reassured by the

:07:24. > :07:28.US that it was not imposing travel bans on any UK dual nationals though

:07:29. > :07:34.they might face extra checks. And the Labour leader stands by his call

:07:35. > :07:40.for Mr Trump's state visit to be called off. I am not happy about him

:07:41. > :07:44.coming here until that ban is lifted. Look at what is happening

:07:45. > :07:52.with those countries. How many more will it be? This relationship like

:07:53. > :07:56.many is complicated. The last 24 hours has shown the difficulty or

:07:57. > :08:01.forging closer ties with the US while keeping a suitable distance

:08:02. > :08:02.from Mr Trump. A huge challenge the Prime Minister will have to get used

:08:03. > :08:03.to. In a moment, we'll be speaking

:08:04. > :08:06.to our North America editor Jon Sopel in Washington,

:08:07. > :08:16.but first, Eleanor Garnier is here. How much detail do we have on how to

:08:17. > :08:21.teach citizens might be affected? This is not an exemption for the UK,

:08:22. > :08:26.this is a clarification of the rules and in a sign of how difficult it

:08:27. > :08:32.has been to unpick everything, conversations have them at the

:08:33. > :08:37.highest possible level all day. Just to clarify, if you are a British

:08:38. > :08:44.citizen who happens to be travelling to the US from Iraq, you will not be

:08:45. > :08:48.subject to the ban. If you are a dual national and you travel to

:08:49. > :08:53.America, you will not be subject to the ban though you may face extra

:08:54. > :08:58.checks. As the Foreign Office understands it, it is only people

:08:59. > :09:07.who are nationals of those seven named countries currently subject to

:09:08. > :09:11.a band. Most hush macro Mo Farah fundamentally disagrees with what he

:09:12. > :09:18.calls a divisive and discriminatory policy. There will still be a lot of

:09:19. > :09:23.confusion tonight, not least many will be worried about them, their

:09:24. > :09:27.family, friends travelling to the United States, concerned about how

:09:28. > :09:30.these rules are being interpreted on the ground by US officials.

:09:31. > :09:36.And Jon Sopel is in Washington for us now.

:09:37. > :09:43.What sense do you get there of how the administration is feeling? They

:09:44. > :09:48.have been rocked by the criticism and protests we have seen across

:09:49. > :09:54.America. There was no surprise that extreme betting was going to be

:09:55. > :09:57.introduced, but there were so little political preparation in terms of

:09:58. > :10:03.telling Republican congressmen and women that this was happening so

:10:04. > :10:07.there has been silence from them and more damaging, so little

:10:08. > :10:18.administrative preparation so you have had a situation where today

:10:19. > :10:29.Donald Trump Ozma trip --'s chief of staff saying, a statement from

:10:30. > :10:33.Donald Trump which seems much more conciliatory. America is a proud

:10:34. > :10:38.nation of immigrants and we will show compassion to those fleeing

:10:39. > :10:42.oppression but will do so while protecting our own citizens and

:10:43. > :10:47.border. This is not a Muslim ban, this is not about religion, this is

:10:48. > :10:53.about terror and he says he has tremendous feeling for those

:10:54. > :10:58.involved in Syria. My first priority will always be to protect and serve

:10:59. > :11:03.our country, but he says he will revisit the whole policy. Has the

:11:04. > :11:05.White House spin rocked by the wave of criticism from around the world

:11:06. > :11:09.and within America? You bet it has. The US military has confirmed that

:11:10. > :11:11.Donald Trump has authorised the first raid by American special

:11:12. > :11:15.forces of his presidency. The pre-dawn raid in Yemen targeted

:11:16. > :11:18.al Qaeda militants - A US serviceman also died

:11:19. > :11:23.and three others were injured in the operation that was aimed

:11:24. > :11:26.at gathering intelligence In France, a politician

:11:27. > :11:33.from the hard left has defeated the country's former Prime Minister

:11:34. > :11:36.to become the Socialist party's Benoit Hamon, whose policies include

:11:37. > :11:42.legalising cannabis and introducing a universal basic income,

:11:43. > :11:46.prevailed against Manuel Valls. As our Paris Correspondent

:11:47. > :11:48.Lucy Williamson reports, it's another surprise in the race

:11:49. > :12:02.for the Elysee Palace. It was the unknown against the

:12:03. > :12:09.unpopular. And in this election inexperience counts. Benoit Hamon

:12:10. > :12:14.has been dubbed France's Jeremy Corbyn, a one-time junior minister

:12:15. > :12:20.with a plan to tax robots, legalise marijuana and pay everyone ?600 a

:12:21. > :12:25.month. TRANSLATION:

:12:26. > :12:30.Faced with a privileged white, and a destructive white, our country needs

:12:31. > :12:36.to have a left that looks to the future. Half the party hate his

:12:37. > :12:40.ideas. This primary was meant to boost the Socialists by giving them

:12:41. > :12:43.a candidate they would unite around but after five beta years of

:12:44. > :12:50.infighting, unity may be too much to ask. Especially as this man has

:12:51. > :12:57.already siphoned centre-left supporters away from the Socialist

:12:58. > :13:03.party. Emmanuel macron is 39 years old and has never been elected but

:13:04. > :13:09.his campaign, more energy than experience, it is drawing crowds his

:13:10. > :13:13.rivals can only dream of. Antiestablishment, pro-European and

:13:14. > :13:16.liberal on both economic and social issues. This is populism for Centre

:13:17. > :13:22.Wests on both the right and left. Wests on both the right and left.

:13:23. > :13:31.Before Emmanuel macron I tried other political movements and first of all

:13:32. > :13:39.the parties socialist, but those lost years it was lost and the main

:13:40. > :13:44.subject on which it was not very clear was about the economy. After

:13:45. > :13:51.political upheavals in America and the UK, how is France's presidential

:13:52. > :13:53.race taking shape? The centre-right favourite is fighting off

:13:54. > :13:59.allegations that his wife received public money for work she had not

:14:00. > :14:03.done. Marine Le Pen also has strong support. She has promised to Paul

:14:04. > :14:09.France out of the euro and drastically reduce immigration.

:14:10. > :14:15.Benoit Hamon lagging far behind seems unlikely to pose a serious

:14:16. > :14:19.threat. But one man who could is Emmanuel macron. He is likely to

:14:20. > :14:24.gain the most from the socialist choice of leader. This primary has

:14:25. > :14:29.eluded both the sitting president and a Prime Minister. The men with

:14:30. > :14:32.power it seems to always been the party. Just as hard for the party

:14:33. > :14:34.perhaps to win power. A father who refused to pay a fine

:14:35. > :14:37.for taking his daughter on holiday in term time will be back

:14:38. > :14:40.in the Supreme Court this week. Jon Platt won an initial

:14:41. > :14:42.legal victory last year - on the grounds she attended school

:14:43. > :14:44.regularly. A BBC investigation has found that

:14:45. > :14:47.as a result councils in England have changed their policies,

:14:48. > :14:50.or dropped cases against parents. Our education editor

:14:51. > :14:56.Branwen Jeffreys reports. For some angry parents,

:14:57. > :14:58.Jon Platt is a bit of a hero. Dozens get in touch with him every

:14:59. > :15:03.day about term time holiday fines. You take a child on a five-day

:15:04. > :15:06.holiday and you live in somewhere like Suffolk,

:15:07. > :15:08.Norfolk or Swindon, they are going to send you a truancy

:15:09. > :15:12.penalty notice and then you have got At home on the Isle of Wight,

:15:13. > :15:18.he told me he has no regrets. After taking his daughter

:15:19. > :15:23.on holiday, she had 90% attendance. The legal row is about what going

:15:24. > :15:28.to school regularly means. If you look up the dictionary

:15:29. > :15:31.definition of regularly, because that's what this

:15:32. > :15:34.is all about, what it means to attend school regularly,

:15:35. > :15:36.the dictionary says, They are taking that

:15:37. > :15:42.word to mean 100%. What about teachers and head

:15:43. > :15:46.teachers who are having to teach children to get them

:15:47. > :15:49.through their exams, and are having to say that

:15:50. > :15:52.with term-time holidays every single And sometimes kids off

:15:53. > :15:59.with term-time holidays. The issue is blown out

:16:00. > :16:02.of all proportion because, for every child who misses a day

:16:03. > :16:06.because of a term-time holiday, there are 12 days missed

:16:07. > :16:09.because of illness. The cost of holidays outside

:16:10. > :16:12.of term-time, home and abroad, So what's happended

:16:13. > :16:16.since last year's case? 108 councils in England

:16:17. > :16:23.responded to our questions. 35 councils say they have changed

:16:24. > :16:27.their policy since the judgment. 28 have dropped cases

:16:28. > :16:33.against parents. 22 have noticed parents taking

:16:34. > :16:37.more term-time holidays. Councils from the Isle of Wight

:16:38. > :16:40.to the north of England One dad's battle here on the Isle

:16:41. > :16:51.of Wight has implications It's drawn a line in the sand,

:16:52. > :17:00.with, on the one hand, the government insisting that every

:17:01. > :17:02.day missed matters. And on the other, parents

:17:03. > :17:04.furious about the cost Ministers say exam results shape

:17:05. > :17:11.children's futures and missing even We look at our students,

:17:12. > :17:23.and any student who has attendance below 95%,

:17:24. > :17:27.we can track the fact that their progress isn't

:17:28. > :17:31.as good as it should be. The Supreme Court will reach

:17:32. > :17:38.a decision within months. With all the sport, here's

:17:39. > :17:43.Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes We're starting with the incredible

:17:44. > :17:51.achievement of Roger Federer. Already the men's Grand Slam record

:17:52. > :17:53.holder, the 35-year-old has now won 18 major titles

:17:54. > :17:56.after beating his old rival Rafael Nadal in

:17:57. > :17:59.the Australian Open final today. Katherine Downes has the story

:18:00. > :18:13.of the thrilling match in Melbourne. Daylight and disbelief. For his

:18:14. > :18:20.titles and trophies, this surely is his achievement yet. Roger Federer

:18:21. > :18:24.had been out of tennis for six months but he battled his way to the

:18:25. > :18:30.final of the Australian open once again and once again the man at the

:18:31. > :18:34.other side was Rafael Nadal. An old rivalry reignited and Federer rolled

:18:35. > :18:40.back the years, placing his way to the first set. Nadal himself was an

:18:41. > :18:45.unlikely finalist also on the comeback from injury, also they

:18:46. > :18:49.thought past his prime. With sweat and grit, Nadal was level, the

:18:50. > :18:54.second set secured. For a while it looked like he had given all he had

:18:55. > :18:58.while Federer had rediscovered his signature wizardry but just when you

:18:59. > :19:04.think Nadal is beaten, he is capable of this. Nadal's sheer determination

:19:05. > :19:12.dragged him and his old nemesis into a decider. And what a decider. An

:19:13. > :19:16.early break for Nadal but Roger fought back with two of his own and

:19:17. > :19:22.in the end just the finest of margins confirmed what he thought

:19:23. > :19:27.was impossible. To comeback was perfect as it was. Tennis is a tough

:19:28. > :19:32.sport, there are no draws but if there was one, I would have been

:19:33. > :19:40.happy to accept one tonight with a Rafa. Two unlikely finalists and

:19:41. > :19:42.legends of the sport. One champion and a trophy he thought he would

:19:43. > :19:44.never left again. It's been another fascinating day

:19:45. > :19:47.in the 4th round of the FA Cup. Match of the Day follows

:19:48. > :19:49.the news, so if you want into the last 16 for the first time

:19:50. > :19:57.in more than 90 years, after Sutton beat former FA Cup

:19:58. > :19:59.winners Leeds United. Leeds are currently 4th

:20:00. > :20:02.in the Championship, And there were further upsets today,

:20:03. > :20:07.as two of the three Hull were thrashed at

:20:08. > :20:11.Fulham and Watford lost Manchester United were comfortable

:20:12. > :20:17.home winners against Wigan. Celtic have broken their

:20:18. > :20:19.own long-held Scottish record for consecutive

:20:20. > :20:22.unbeaten domestic games. Their 4-0 win over Hearts today

:20:23. > :20:25.means they've now gone 27 league The previous record

:20:26. > :20:30.was set by Celtic's famous England's cricketers just missed out

:20:31. > :20:37.on sealing a significant Twenty20 series win over India,

:20:38. > :20:41.beaten by 5 runs in Nagpur. In a thrilling final over,

:20:42. > :20:44.man of the match Jasprit Boomra bowled brilliantly to deny England

:20:45. > :20:47.the chance to overhaul The series is now level at 1-all

:20:48. > :20:54.and will be decided in the final Carl Frampton says he wants a third

:20:55. > :21:00.fight with Leo Santa Cruz after the Mexican inflicted his

:21:01. > :21:02.first professional Frampton lost his WBA

:21:03. > :21:06.World Featherweight title on points in Las Vegas and has already

:21:07. > :21:10.demanded another rematch - this And Scotland's Paul Foster has won

:21:11. > :21:17.his 5th World Indoor Bowls title. You can see more on all of today's

:21:18. > :21:28.stories on the BBC News Channel. That's all from me,
