Stars from around the world have been paying tribute

:00:20.:00:22.

to the actor Sir John Hurt, who has died at the age of 77.

:00:23.:00:27.

He had been suffering from pancreatic cancer.

:00:28.:00:29.

The Hollywood actor and director Mel Brooks said he was a "truly

:00:30.:00:32.

magnificent talent", and the author JK Rowling

:00:33.:00:36.

called him "immensely talented and deeply beloved."

:00:37.:00:41.

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

:00:42.:00:44.

including the Elephant Man, Alien, and Harry Potter.

:00:45.:00:46.

Nick Higham, looks back at his life.

:00:47.:00:51.

John Hurt, as the deranged Roman Emperor Caligula

:00:52.:00:54.

Well, of course I ordered no triumphs.

:00:55.:01:02.

Do you think I'd order triumph for myself?

:01:03.:01:06.

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

:01:07.:01:12.

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

:01:13.:01:18.

I wear flamboyant clothes, far more outre than

:01:19.:01:21.

He was an unusual actor, instantly recognisable,

:01:22.:01:26.

Here, he played the notorious and flamboyant Quentin Crisp.

:01:27.:01:36.

People said tt was a brave part to take on.

:01:37.:01:38.

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

:01:39.:01:41.

And I said "But it's not about homosexuality,

:01:42.:01:43.

it's about the tenderness of the individual,

:01:44.:01:45.

as opposed to the cruelty of the crowd, really".

:01:46.:01:48.

His breakthrough had come in A Man For All Seasons

:01:49.:01:50.

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

:01:51.:01:52.

He earned an Oscar nomination himself for Midnight Express,

:01:53.:02:02.

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

:02:03.:02:05.

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

:02:06.:02:07.

And another for his performance as the hideously disfigured

:02:08.:02:09.

Like Quentin Crisp, Merrick was an outsider

:02:10.:02:15.

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

:02:16.:02:26.

And in a guest appearance in Doctor Who.

:02:27.:02:34.

Why are you pointing your screwdrivers like that?

:02:35.:02:38.

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

:02:39.:02:40.

quoting lines from a famous Dylan Thomas poem.

:02:41.:02:42.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

:02:43.:02:45.

Old age should burn and rave at close of day.

:02:46.:02:50.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

:02:51.:02:59.

"The most sublime of actors and the most gentlemanly

:03:00.:03:02.

of gentlemen, who touched all our lives with joy and magic".

:03:03.:03:11.

The United Nations has urged the United States to continue

:03:12.:03:18.

protecting refugees - regardless of their

:03:19.:03:20.

It follows President Trump's latest executive order,

:03:21.:03:25.

which suspends all refugee arrivals for four months and imposes tough

:03:26.:03:29.

controls on travellers from seven Muslim countries.

:03:30.:03:33.

Mr Trump says the order will protect the country from Islamic terrorism.

:03:34.:03:36.

From Beirut, Alex Forsyth sent this report.

:03:37.:03:47.

Protection of the nation from foreign terrorists' entry...

:03:48.:03:51.

With a flourish of his pen, another sweeping change, a halt on visas

:03:52.:04:02.

from seven mainly Muslim countries, entering the US, to stop, says

:04:03.:04:06.

I'm establishing new measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out

:04:07.:04:11.

On social media, reports of people being stopped at airports.

:04:12.:04:29.

In Doha, claims Iranians with immigrant visas were

:04:30.:04:34.

In Qatar, the father of a former LA Times

:04:35.:04:42.

employee in Iraq reportedly turned back by US officials, what it means

:04:43.:04:45.

But for the Syrian refugees who fled war,

:04:46.:04:50.

They are now indefinitely banned

:04:51.:04:53.

refugees are suspended for four months.

:04:54.:05:00.

Like Navine, not her real name, a transgender woman who fled Iraq,

:05:01.:05:04.

persecuted for her sexuality, now living in Lebanon.

:05:05.:05:12.

Sh was accepted for resettlement in America.

:05:13.:05:20.

TRANSLATION: The moment I heard the news, my dreams were shattered.

:05:21.:05:24.

My parents want to kill me, I'm terrified they'll find out where I

:05:25.:05:27.

I hoped I would feel safe in the US, that I'd

:05:28.:05:33.

finally be able to sleep in a country where I have rights,

:05:34.:05:36.

This order will not just affect tens of thousands of refugees,

:05:37.:05:44.

but many across the Middle East who travel to the US

:05:45.:05:48.

Google has recalled its staff, saying it's worried

:05:49.:05:54.

For some, rather than improve security, this will

:05:55.:06:00.

only leave Muslim communities more isolated.

:06:01.:06:04.

Theresa May has arrived in Ankara, where she is holding talks on trade

:06:05.:06:12.

with Turkey wants Britain leaves the EU. They are expected to hold a news

:06:13.:06:18.

conference within the hour. Our correspondent Mark

:06:19.:06:20.

Lowen is in Istanbul. What are they hoping to achieve from

:06:21.:06:28.

this visit? Top of the agenda is trade, as you say. Post-Brexit

:06:29.:06:32.

Britain keen to strike up a strong bilateral trade agreement with

:06:33.:06:35.

another country on the cusp of the EU. They also want closer

:06:36.:06:39.

co-operation on security. Both countries are involved in the

:06:40.:06:42.

coalition against so-called Islamic date. Both are Nato members and

:06:43.:06:46.

Turkey is of course Europe's eastern flank, so Britain is keen to have a

:06:47.:06:52.

strong European border in Turkey to keep terror threats out of Europe.

:06:53.:06:56.

But Theresa May will also be keen to try to tame Turkey somewhat. This is

:06:57.:06:59.

a country that has moved rather away from Europe in recent years, more

:07:00.:07:03.

towards Russia. She will have been keen to raise human rights issues,

:07:04.:07:07.

facing pressure to raise those issues, like the fact that 140,000

:07:08.:07:12.

people have been arrested, dismissed or suspended here since the failed

:07:13.:07:15.

coup last year. Turkey is the world's biggest jailer of

:07:16.:07:21.

journalists. As for Recep Tayyip Erdogan, despite the bluster against

:07:22.:07:23.

Western governments that he frequently comes out with, he is

:07:24.:07:26.

keen to keep up relations with Europe even though the hopes of

:07:27.:07:30.

Turkey joining the EU look slimmer than ever. So two controversial

:07:31.:07:34.

presidents, Donald Trump and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Theresa May will

:07:35.:07:37.

emerge from these two days better versed in delicate diplomacy than

:07:38.:07:39.

ever. Mark, thank you. Diesel drivers in parts of central

:07:40.:07:42.

London will be charged an extra 50% to park from the

:07:43.:07:45.

beginning of April. Westminster City Council will trial

:07:46.:07:46.

the price rise as part of a pilot project aimed at cutting high levels

:07:47.:07:50.

of air pollution. Poor air quality is linked

:07:51.:07:52.

to the early deaths of around 40,000 With all the sport,

:07:53.:07:57.

here's Mike Bushell Good afternoon - now, we're

:07:58.:08:01.

about to tell you about the women's If you're waiting for the highlights

:08:02.:08:08.

which follow this bulletin at 1.15, please look away, close your ears,

:08:09.:08:14.

leave the room. Right, Serena Williams has broken

:08:15.:08:21.

the record for Grand Slam victories in the modern era after winning

:08:22.:08:24.

the Australian Open It was the first final

:08:25.:08:28.

between her and her sister Venus and Serena Williams, bringing

:08:29.:08:44.

true meaning to the term sibling rivalry for 20 years. This was a

:08:45.:08:48.

throwback final between two women who know each other inside out. That

:08:49.:08:54.

was clearly the case in the first set, with five breaks of serve. And

:08:55.:08:57.

while Venus, in her first Grand Slam final for eight years, was always

:08:58.:09:00.

chasing her little sister, she gave as good as she got. Her problem was

:09:01.:09:05.

that Serena, despite the odd mishap, found that bit extra when it

:09:06.:09:08.

mattered most. The fifth of those five breaks going her way, once

:09:09.:09:15.

overhead, and the second was equally close, venous edging ahead on serve

:09:16.:09:18.

this time, only for Serena to match her with some brawn and brilliance,

:09:19.:09:23.

both of those evident for the crucial break. What a window that

:09:24.:09:27.

was. It allowed Serena to serve for the match, which she achieved. And

:09:28.:09:32.

with it, and open era record, 23 grand slams now, surpassing Steffi

:09:33.:09:38.

Graf, a seventh Australian title, the world number one spot and all

:09:39.:09:43.

against her sister. Sibling rivalry? Most definitely. Sibling love, even

:09:44.:09:50.

more so. Tim Hague, BBC News. It's a great number. I know she would like

:09:51.:09:58.

to have a little more. It was a great moment. I am very happy that

:09:59.:10:04.

she has been able to get to number 23, because there are 22 ahead of

:10:05.:10:08.

that that she also earned, and she earned it.

:10:09.:10:09.

The day's FA Cup action is under way.

:10:10.:10:11.

Liverpool are taking on Wolves in the fourth

:10:12.:10:20.

It was an incredible start for the Championship side,

:10:21.:10:26.

Richard Stearman scoring after just 51 seconds.

:10:27.:10:27.

And it was very nearly 2-0 not long afterwards,

:10:28.:10:29.

Liverpool have won only one of seven matches so far in 2017.

:10:30.:10:34.

Wolves have already knocked out Premier League

:10:35.:10:35.

The biggest giant killers from the last round,

:10:36.:10:38.

non-league Lincoln City, are hoping home advantage will help

:10:39.:10:41.

them cause another big upset this afternoon.

:10:42.:10:43.

Their manager Danny Cowley says beating Ipswich

:10:44.:10:49.

off the Championship in round three was like climbing

:10:50.:10:51.

a mountain, and so thinks today's match against the leaders

:10:52.:10:53.

of the Championship, Brighton, is like trying to get to the moon.

:10:54.:10:56.

Rangers can go back to second in the Scottish Premiership this

:10:57.:10:59.

afternoon - a win at Motherwell will take them above Aberdeen again

:11:00.:11:01.

- but they're down to 10 men after Michael O'Halloran was sent

:11:02.:11:04.

But now there has been a red card for Motherwell as well.

:11:05.:11:21.

Whatever happens in this game, leaders Celtic won't be troubled -

:11:22.:11:24.

That is the second sending-off. A feisty match so far.

:11:25.:11:38.

Tiger Woods told reporters he was "rusty" after missing

:11:39.:11:40.

the cut in his first competitive tournament for 18 months.

:11:41.:11:42.

He managed a par round, but he was always in peril

:11:43.:11:45.

He said he needed to get more rounds under his belt -

:11:46.:11:49.

England's Olympic champion Justin Rose still leads -

:11:50.:11:52.

he's a shot clear of the field on eight-under-par.

:11:53.:12:00.

And I can tell you that upset at Anfield could well and truly be on

:12:01.:12:06.

now, because it is Liverpool zero, Wolves two. That is the sport.

:12:07.:12:09.

You can see more on all of today's stories on the BBC News Channel.

:12:10.:12:13.

We are seeing quite a change in our weather patterns. It has been a

:12:14.:12:31.

week, of course, where the UK has been stuck in the deep freeze. We

:12:32.:12:35.

have had some sharp frosts and disruptive for, but the weather is

:12:36.:12:37.

changing now.
