:00:00. > :00:09.The government seeks assurances from Washington about how British

:00:10. > :00:11.citizens might be affected by the US travel ban.

:00:12. > :00:14.The order from President Trump came hours after he met Theresa May

:00:15. > :00:17.at the White House - now there are calls for his state

:00:18. > :00:25.Despite a court order - and protests against the ban -

:00:26. > :00:28.the administration has signalled today that it is pressing ahead.

:00:29. > :00:32.We'll be looking at the reaction here - and around the world.

:00:33. > :00:36.The right of parents to take their children on holiday

:00:37. > :00:46.in term time faces a new legal test - this time in the Supreme Court.

:00:47. > :01:09.And Roger Federer is back - winning an 18th Grand Slam title.

:01:10. > :01:12.Theresa May has ordered the Foreign Secretary

:01:13. > :01:15.and the Home Secretary to try and obtain assurances from the Trump

:01:16. > :01:19.administration about how its travel ban on people from seven mainly

:01:20. > :01:24.Muslim countries will affect British citizens with dual nationality.

:01:25. > :01:27.Sir Mo Farah is among those who fear they'll be affected,

:01:28. > :01:29.and politicians from different parties have been calling

:01:30. > :01:33.for President Trump's invitation to pay a state visit to Britain

:01:34. > :01:37.We'll have the latest from the United States in a moment -

:01:38. > :01:39.but first, our political correspondent, Eleanor Garnier,

:01:40. > :01:56.New leaders and new friends. It was all going so well. Then just hours

:01:57. > :02:01.after Theresa May left Washington, Donald Trump enacted one of what

:02:02. > :02:05.many think is the most extreme of his campaign policies. By then, the

:02:06. > :02:11.Prime Minister was in Turkey for trade talks, where she avoided

:02:12. > :02:16.condemning President's travel ban. The United States is responsible for

:02:17. > :02:21.their policy on refugees. The UK is responsible for their own policy.

:02:22. > :02:25.Overnight, a new statement clarifying that the Prime Minister

:02:26. > :02:30.did not agree with this kind of approach. But some, like British

:02:31. > :02:35.Olympians Sir Mo Farah, still worried. He was born in Somalia but

:02:36. > :02:39.lives in America. He said he was deeply troubled to have to tell his

:02:40. > :02:45.children that he might not be able to come home. And one of Theresa

:02:46. > :02:52.May's own MPs, born in Iraq, says he will also be affected. For the first

:02:53. > :02:57.time in my life, last night, I felt discriminated against. It is

:02:58. > :03:00.demeaning, but I'm a successful man and a politician. It's the people

:03:01. > :03:07.who don't have the platform that I have who could get stuck in an

:03:08. > :03:10.airport for hours and hours. They are British citizens. By this

:03:11. > :03:15.morning, government ministers were publicly criticising the plans. The

:03:16. > :03:20.Prime Minister is not a shoot from the hip type of politician. She

:03:21. > :03:23.wants to see the evidence and understand precisely what the

:03:24. > :03:30.implications are. There's always pressure to respond within a new

:03:31. > :03:34.cycle. The important thing is, we say we disagree with it. Friends can

:03:35. > :03:38.be candid with each other, that is what the Prime Minister said before

:03:39. > :03:42.her trip to the States. It now seems that's a lot easier in theory than

:03:43. > :03:48.in practice. Having failed to live up to her own words once, there is

:03:49. > :03:54.now criticism she is not living up to her own strategy. There are calls

:03:55. > :03:59.for Donald Trump 's state visit this year to be cancelled. I'm not happy

:04:00. > :04:04.for him coming here until it is lifted. Look at those countries.

:04:05. > :04:09.What will the long-term effect be for the rest of the world? This

:04:10. > :04:13.relationship is complicated, but as the government presses for British

:04:14. > :04:14.exemption from the travel ban, Mrs May will hope she's done enough to

:04:15. > :04:18.keep Mr Trump onside. President Trump - and members

:04:19. > :04:20.of his administration - have today been defending the scope

:04:21. > :04:23.of the ban, with some suggestions But there are legal challenges

:04:24. > :04:27.to the ban, and one judge ruled to suspend the deportation

:04:28. > :04:31.of refugees and those with US visas Nick Bryant reports

:04:32. > :04:34.from New York, where several Protest is becoming a permanent

:04:35. > :04:44.feature of the Trump presidency. And at JFK Airport last night

:04:45. > :04:47.the demonstrations lasted deep New York has always been the great

:04:48. > :04:55.gateway into America. The protesters believe

:04:56. > :04:58.the executive order flies Demonstrations took place

:04:59. > :05:10.across the country, these are scenes in Boston as a US senator defied

:05:11. > :05:14.the US president. I always knew Donald Trump

:05:15. > :05:19.would be bad, but not this At this courthouse in Brooklyn came

:05:20. > :05:28.a late night legal challenge and civil liberties lawyers emerged

:05:29. > :05:31.claiming a victory. As the federal judge temporarily

:05:32. > :05:36.blocked part of the executive order. President Trump enacts laws

:05:37. > :05:38.and executive orders which are unconstitutional,

:05:39. > :05:42.and illegal, and the courts are What started as a protest outside

:05:43. > :05:48.this courthouse in Brooklyn has now At the arrivals hall

:05:49. > :05:57.at Dallas Airport outside A Muslim woman from Iraq finally

:05:58. > :06:05.making it back into the country. All of a sudden I get a call telling

:06:06. > :06:10.me they are detaining my wife who is a green card holder,

:06:11. > :06:14.legal resident in this country. But, despite the court ruling

:06:15. > :06:16.and others making it through immigration,

:06:17. > :06:19.the Department of Homeland Security said it would continue to enforce

:06:20. > :06:24.the executive order. Prior to the court ruling,

:06:25. > :06:26.President Trump expressed satisfaction about how his ban

:06:27. > :06:30.was being implemented. It is working very nicely

:06:31. > :06:33.and we are going to have a very very strict ban which we should have had

:06:34. > :06:39.in this country for many years. And this morning he

:06:40. > :06:41.doubled down on Twitter. "Our country needs extreme borders

:06:42. > :06:47.and extreme vetting now. Look at what is happening

:06:48. > :06:50.all over Europe and indeed These Syrians thought

:06:51. > :06:53.their US visas offered them But this Christian family of eight

:06:54. > :06:58.was refused entry at Philadelphia airport and forced to fly

:06:59. > :07:03.back to Beirut. TRANSLATION: My son has been

:07:04. > :07:06.in America three years, and they did not even

:07:07. > :07:08.let me call him. They'd spent all their money

:07:09. > :07:14.on the plane tickets and seen their American dreams

:07:15. > :07:18.eradicated with the stroke of a pen. So we've just seen there that one

:07:19. > :07:26.of the countries affected is Iraq - one of the US's closest allies

:07:27. > :07:30.in the fight against IS. Orla Guerin is our Middle

:07:31. > :07:40.East correspondent. How does that relationship between

:07:41. > :07:48.the two countries square with the scope of this band? We've seen that

:07:49. > :07:52.President Trump isn't afraid to trample on sensitive alliances. The

:07:53. > :07:56.ally in this case is a key partner in the battle against the so-called

:07:57. > :08:02.Islamic State. President Trump says that's one of his top priorities.

:08:03. > :08:08.Predictably, we have already had calls from Baghdad for the

:08:09. > :08:18.government there to respond. The Imps when shall Schar cleric has

:08:19. > :08:23.said that Americans should now have to leave Iraq. There are about 5000

:08:24. > :08:27.US troops on the ground there, playing a very important role,

:08:28. > :08:32.largely assisting and advising the Iraqis in this battle against bias.

:08:33. > :08:37.At this stage, we don't know what action the Iraqi government might be

:08:38. > :08:42.willing to take, but it will face domestic pressure on this. For both

:08:43. > :08:46.countries, there's a lot at stake. For individual Iraqis, they are

:08:47. > :08:54.already falling victim to these policies. We spoke to a man who

:08:55. > :08:57.should been beginning a new life this weekend in the US, and instead

:08:58. > :09:04.he was turned around here at Cairo. He said he had put his life on the

:09:05. > :09:05.line, and after all of that, Donald Trump had destroyed his dreams.

:09:06. > :09:07.Thank you. A US Special Forces raid

:09:08. > :09:09.against Al-Qaeda in Yemen, authorised by President Trump,

:09:10. > :09:11.has killed at least 14 militants The raid targeted the houses

:09:12. > :09:15.of three tribal chiefs The Northern Ireland Secretary

:09:16. > :09:20.has criticised the way inquiries are being conducted

:09:21. > :09:21.into the Troubles. James Brokenshire said the current

:09:22. > :09:24.re-investigations into the conflict were "disproportionately" focused

:09:25. > :09:28.on the police and the army. A number of former soldiers

:09:29. > :09:30.are facing prosecution for deaths The case of the father

:09:31. > :09:38.who refused to pay a fine for taking his daughter on holiday

:09:39. > :09:41.in term time will be considered Jon Platt won an initial

:09:42. > :09:45.legal victory last year - on the grounds she attended

:09:46. > :09:48.school regularly. A BBC investigation has found that,

:09:49. > :09:51.as a result, councils in England have changed their policies,

:09:52. > :09:55.or dropped cases against parents. Our Education Editor,

:09:56. > :10:00.Branwen Jeffreys, reports. For some angry parents,

:10:01. > :10:04.Jon Platt is a bit of a hero. Dozens get in touch with him

:10:05. > :10:06.every day about term You take a child on a five-day

:10:07. > :10:11.holiday and you live in somewhere like Suffolk or

:10:12. > :10:14.Swindon, they are going to send you a truancy penalty and then you have

:10:15. > :10:17.got a decision to make. At home on the Isle

:10:18. > :10:23.of Wight, he told me he has no regrets was after taking his

:10:24. > :10:26.daughter on holiday, she had 90% The legal row is about what is going

:10:27. > :10:40.to school regularly means. If you look up the dictionary

:10:41. > :10:49.definition of regularly, because that is what this is all about, what

:10:50. > :10:54.it means to attend school regularly, the dictionary says "Often". They

:10:55. > :10:59.are taking that word to mean 100%. What about teachers who are having

:11:00. > :11:03.to teach children to get them through their exams, and are having

:11:04. > :11:09.to say that every single week there could be a child missing, with term

:11:10. > :11:13.time holidays. There will often the kids off sick. The issue is blown

:11:14. > :11:20.out of proportion because, for every child, who misses a day because of a

:11:21. > :11:27.term time holiday, there are 12 days missed because of illness. The cost

:11:28. > :11:34.of holidays outside of term time is a worry for lots of families. 35

:11:35. > :11:40.councils say they have changed their policy since the judgment. Five more

:11:41. > :11:46.are reviewing their heirs. 28 have dropped cases against parents. 22

:11:47. > :11:50.have noticed parents taking more term time holidays. Councils from

:11:51. > :11:54.the Isle of Wight to the North of England have different policies.

:11:55. > :12:00.Some issue thousands of fines. Others almost none. One battle here

:12:01. > :12:05.on the Isle of Wight has implications for parents across

:12:06. > :12:09.England. It has drawn a line in the sand with, on the one hand, the

:12:10. > :12:15.government insisting that every day missed matters, and on the other,

:12:16. > :12:19.parents furious about the cost of paying for holidays. Ministers say

:12:20. > :12:23.exam results shaped children's futures and missing even a few days

:12:24. > :12:30.makes a clear difference. Many headteachers agree. It does matter.

:12:31. > :12:36.It does make a difference. We look at our students, and any student who

:12:37. > :12:40.has attendance below 95%, we can track the fact that their progress

:12:41. > :12:45.isn't as good as it should be. It's not just about one the father. His

:12:46. > :12:48.case could have a big impact. The Supreme Court will reach a decision

:12:49. > :12:51.within months. Polls have just closed in France

:12:52. > :12:54.in the vote to choose the Socialist Former prime Manuel Valls

:12:55. > :12:57.is facing a stern challenge Whoever wins will go

:12:58. > :13:00.through to contest the Presidential Jeremy Corbyn has warned his

:13:01. > :13:04.Shadow Cabinet that it will be "impossible" for them

:13:05. > :13:06.to keep their jobs if they vote against triggering the start

:13:07. > :13:09.of the Brexit process. The Labour Leader has

:13:10. > :13:12.ordered his party's MPs to support the Bill when it

:13:13. > :13:15.reaches the Commons. Two of his front bench have already

:13:25. > :13:28.after his last Grand Slam victory - Roger Federer has triumphed

:13:29. > :13:30.at the Australian Open He was up against his

:13:31. > :13:33.old adversary - Rafa Nadal. It's the Swiss player's

:13:34. > :13:35.18th major trophy - but as Katherine Downes reports,

:13:36. > :13:38.it didn't come without a battle. Of all his titles and trophies,

:13:39. > :13:41.this, surely, Roger Federer had been out

:13:42. > :13:48.of tennis for six months, but he battled his way to the final

:13:49. > :13:53.of the Australian Open once again, and once again the man at the other

:13:54. > :13:57.side of the net was Rafael Nadal. An old rivalry reignited,

:13:58. > :14:01.and Federer rolled back the years, Nadal himself was an unlikely

:14:02. > :14:08.finalist, also on the comeback With sweat and grit, Nadal

:14:09. > :14:15.was level, the second set secured. For a while it looked like he'd

:14:16. > :14:19.given all he had, while Federer But just when you think

:14:20. > :14:25.Rafael Nadal is beaten, Nadal's sheer determination

:14:26. > :14:32.dragged him and his old An early break for Rafa,

:14:33. > :14:40.but Roger fought back with two of his own,

:14:41. > :14:43.and in the end, just the finest of margins confirmed what he'd

:14:44. > :14:47.thought was impossible. I would have been happy

:14:48. > :14:50.to lose too, to be honest. There's no draws, but if there

:14:51. > :14:56.was going to be one, I would have been very happy

:14:57. > :14:59.to accept a draw tonight and share Two unlikely finalists,

:15:00. > :15:03.two legends of the sport. Now one familiar champion,

:15:04. > :15:06.and a trophy he thought In the FA Cup 4th round today,

:15:07. > :15:15.two more Premier League sides have been knocked out at the hands

:15:16. > :15:18.of lower league opposition. Watford were beaten at Millwall

:15:19. > :15:24.and Hull lost at Fulham but the giant killing of the day

:15:25. > :15:27.was at Sutton United. The non-league side knocked out

:15:28. > :15:29.former FA Cup Winners Leeds - who sit 83 places above them

:15:30. > :15:32.in the football pyramid. Sutton won 1-0, thanks

:15:33. > :15:34.to a second half penalty. Belfast boxer Carl Frampton
