:01:10. > :01:12.I'm proud that the UK stood with you on the 15th of July last

:01:13. > :01:19.Now it is important that Turkey sustains that democracy,

:01:45. > :01:47.Just as Theresa May was the first leader to enter

:01:48. > :01:50.the Trump White House, she has today become the first

:01:51. > :01:54.Western leader to come to President Erdogan Golden Palace

:01:55. > :01:56.in Ankara, high up on the hill, since the attempted

:01:57. > :02:00.Urging the importance of human rights, though,

:02:01. > :02:05.she's shown she was unafraid to speak of mind.

:02:06. > :02:09.Having delivered a message on human rights, the ceremonials could begin.

:02:26. > :02:31.that Downing Street hopes could bring in billions.

:02:32. > :02:33.But questions about her other new friend, President Trump,

:02:34. > :02:37.After the American leader banned some Muslims

:02:38. > :02:42.Asked three times whether she agreed with President Trump's ban,

:02:43. > :02:48.Well, the United States is responsible for the United States

:02:49. > :02:55.The United Kingdom is responsible for the United Kingdom's

:02:56. > :03:00.While marking the past, Theresa May is following her own

:03:01. > :03:05.She can't choose her fellow leaders, yet politicians,

:03:06. > :03:06.like the rest of us, are sometimes judged

:03:07. > :03:20.Lawyers in the United States have lodged a challenge

:03:21. > :03:22.to an executive order - signed by President Trump -

:03:23. > :03:25.which temporarily bans all refugees, and any traveller from seven mainly

:03:26. > :03:26.Muslim countries from entering the US.

:03:27. > :03:28.The ban includes stopping those with a resident permit,

:03:29. > :03:32.known as a green card, from re-entering the country.

:03:33. > :03:34.That order has caused confusion and panic among travellers with some

:03:35. > :03:36.people being turned back from US bound flights.

:03:37. > :03:51.On Lebanon's streets the need is clear, one in four is a refugee who

:03:52. > :03:56.has fled war in neighbouring Syria. Some wanting one day to return,

:03:57. > :04:02.others desperate to move on, now all banned from the US indefinitely. And

:04:03. > :04:09.refugees from anywhere suspended for four months. Like Naveed, which is

:04:10. > :04:13.not her real name, a transgender woman persecuted in Iraq who fled to

:04:14. > :04:19.Beirut. She was in the process of being resettled in America. That

:04:20. > :04:26.now, it seems, on hold. TRANSLATION: The moment I heard the news my

:04:27. > :04:34.dreams were shattered. My parents want to kill me. I'm terrified

:04:35. > :04:39.they'll find out where I am now. I hoped I'd feel safe in the US, that

:04:40. > :04:44.I'd finally be able to sleep in a country where I have rights and no

:04:45. > :04:48.one could hurt me. With a flourish of his pen,

:04:49. > :04:54.President Trump made sweeping changes to policies for refugees and

:04:55. > :04:58.immigrants, to improve, he said, America's security. I'm establishing

:04:59. > :05:05.new vetting measures, to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of

:05:06. > :05:09.the United States of America. We don't want them here.

:05:10. > :05:14.The executive order specifically mention suspending entry from seven

:05:15. > :05:18.countries, with predominantly Muslim populations. People from those areas

:05:19. > :05:23.have taken to social media in confusion. One said an Iraqi friend

:05:24. > :05:31.who fled Isis was turned back from a US flight. And in Qatar 71-year-old

:05:32. > :05:36.man heading to LA was back to Iraq. I think this is a case-by-case basis

:05:37. > :05:39.in which the family lawyers intervened. We're still waiting on

:05:40. > :05:45.getting more information on that, but in general it's a state of panic

:05:46. > :05:48.and confusion. The extent of this order has enormous implications, not

:05:49. > :05:52.just for refugees but for many from the Middle East no able able to

:05:53. > :05:58.travel to the US. President Trump argues it will improve security but

:05:59. > :06:01.many have condemned the message it sends to Muslim communities around

:06:02. > :06:08.the world. Some refugees have been detained at airports today, and are

:06:09. > :06:12.being represented by civil rights groups launching legal action. The

:06:13. > :06:15.full extent of this order may not be clear but already the consequences

:06:16. > :06:18.are being felt and challenged. Alex Forsyth.

:06:19. > :06:21.Serena Williams has beaten her older sister, Venus, in the final

:06:22. > :06:23.of the Australian Open to win a record-breaking 23rd

:06:24. > :06:27.The 35-year-old will now reclaim her Number One ranking.

:06:28. > :06:33.Our sports correspondent, Katherine Downes, reports.

:06:34. > :06:36.In the field of sporting achievement, she now stands alone.

:06:37. > :06:39.This latest victory a defining chapter in the legend

:06:40. > :06:57.The twist in the tale - only her sister could

:06:58. > :06:59.deny her and open era record 23rd grand slam.

:07:00. > :07:02.And Venus had her own fairy tale to write, 36 years old,

:07:03. > :07:04.back from career threatening illness, now with the chance

:07:05. > :07:08.of another grand slam title eight years since her last.

:07:09. > :07:09.But after initial frustration, Serena refound that

:07:10. > :07:14.Venus made her little sister fight for her piece of history.

:07:15. > :07:19.Serena's the history maker, but together she and Venus have

:07:20. > :07:24.She's my inspiration, she's the only reason I'm standing

:07:25. > :07:26.here today and the only reason the Williams sisters exist,

:07:27. > :07:32.The record broken, she has nothing left to prove, but being Serena,

:07:33. > :07:42.Tributes have been paid to the actor Sir John Hurt,

:07:43. > :07:46.He'd been suffering from pancreatic cancer.

:07:47. > :07:50.His career spanned over six decades and more than 120 films -

:07:51. > :07:56.including the Elephant Man, Alien and Harry Potter.

:07:57. > :08:00.His widow said he was the "most sublime of actors", who brought "joy

:08:01. > :08:10.John Hurt, as the deranged Roman Emperor Caligula

:08:11. > :08:18.Well, of course I ordered no triumphs.

:08:19. > :08:20.Do you think I'd order triumph for myself?

:08:21. > :08:24.Yes, and you took me at my word, didn't you?

:08:25. > :08:33.I wear rouge, I wear mascara on my eyelashes, I dye my hair,

:08:34. > :08:35.I wear flamboyant clothes, far more outre than

:08:36. > :08:41.He was an unusual actor, instantly recognisable,

:08:42. > :08:52.Here, he played the flamboyantly gay Quentin Crisp.

:08:53. > :08:54.People said tt was a brave part to take on.

:08:55. > :08:57.Many people said "Don't do that, you'll never work again", and so on.

:08:58. > :08:59.And I said "But it's not about homosexuality, actually,

:09:00. > :09:01.it's about the tenderness of the individual,

:09:02. > :09:03.as opposed to the cruelty of the crowd, really".

:09:04. > :09:05.His breakthrough had come in A Man For All Seasons

:09:06. > :09:08.in 1966, a small part in an Oscar-winning film.

:09:09. > :09:17.He earned an Oscar nomination himself for Midnight Express,

:09:18. > :09:20.in which he played a heroin addict in a Turkish prison.

:09:21. > :09:22.I'm very pleased to meet you, Mr Merrick.

:09:23. > :09:26.And another for his performance as the hideously disfigured

:09:27. > :09:30.Like Quentin Crisp, Merrick was an outsider

:09:31. > :09:42.Late in his career, he reached new audiences in Harry Potter.

:09:43. > :09:48.And in a guest appearance in Doctor Who.

:09:49. > :09:52.Why are you pointing your screwdrivers like that?

:09:53. > :09:54.In one of his last performances, he played a dying screenwriter,

:09:55. > :09:59.quoting lines from a famous Dylan Thomas poem.

:10:00. > :10:01.Do not go gentle into that good night.

:10:02. > :10:05.Old age should burn and rave at close of day.

:10:06. > :10:20.Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

:10:21. > :10:21.I'll be back for the late news at 10.10pm.
