:01:04. > :01:26.President Trump is facing growing criticism tonight both

:01:27. > :01:28.at home and abroad - over his controversial order

:01:29. > :01:30.restricting people from seven mainly Muslim countries

:01:31. > :01:36.The temporary ban on travellers from countries including Iraq,

:01:37. > :01:39.Syria and Somalia has seen people turned away at airports -

:02:07. > :02:09.demonstrators gathered in a highly dramatic setting, under the gaze of

:02:10. > :02:13.the Statue of Liberty, that welcoming symbol for new arrivals.

:02:14. > :02:16.But today we've see large gatherings across the country. The fractious

:02:17. > :02:26.mood reminiscent of the 1960s. Protest is becoming a permanent

:02:27. > :02:28.feature of the Trump presidency. And at JFK airport last night,

:02:29. > :02:31.the demonstrations lasted deep Demonstrations took place

:02:32. > :02:43.across the country. These are scenes in Boston

:02:44. > :02:46.as a US senator defied the I knew that Donald

:03:23. > :03:25.outside this courthouse in Brooklyn has now

:03:26. > :03:28.become a celebration. At the arrivals hall in Dallas

:03:51. > :03:54.and others making it through immigration, the Department

:03:55. > :03:56.of Homeland Security said it would continue to enforce

:03:57. > :04:00.the executive order. The president says his policy

:04:01. > :04:03.is working out very nicely, and television network, claimed falsely,

:04:04. > :04:22.that the old Obama policy favoured Do you know if you were

:04:23. > :04:25.a Christian in Syria it was impossible, very, very,

:04:26. > :04:28.at least very tough to get If you were a Muslim

:04:29. > :04:31.you could come in. And I thought it was

:04:32. > :04:33.very, very unfair. But this Christian

:04:34. > :04:37.family was also refused entry even though they thought these

:04:38. > :04:40.US visas offered them the chance of They were turned away at

:04:44. > :04:50.in America three years and They had spent all their money

:04:51. > :04:55.on the plane tickets and seen their American dreams

:04:56. > :05:00.eradicated with the stroke of a pen. Here, there are growing calls

:05:01. > :05:06.for President Trump's state visit to Britain to be called off,

:05:07. > :05:10.because of his travel crackdown. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has

:05:11. > :05:14.said it shouldn't happen while the ban is in place -

:05:15. > :05:17.and an online petition making the same demand has attracted more

:05:18. > :05:21.than half a million signatures. Tonight, ministers have gained some

:05:22. > :05:23.clarification about the impact Our Political Correspondent,

:05:24. > :05:37.Eleanor Garnier has the latest. New leaders and new friends. It was

:05:38. > :05:42.all going so well. Then, just hours after Theresa May left Washington,

:05:43. > :05:47.Donald Trump enacted one of what many think is the most extreme of

:05:48. > :05:51.his campaign policies. By then, the Prime Minister was in Turkey for

:05:52. > :05:55.trade talks, where she avoided condemning the President's travel

:05:56. > :06:00.ban. The United States is responsible for the United States's

:06:01. > :06:04.policy and refugees. The United Kingdom is responsible for the

:06:05. > :06:07.United Kingdom's policy on refugees. Overnight a new statement clarifying

:06:08. > :06:11.that the Prime Minister did not agree with this kind of approach.

:06:12. > :06:17.And condemnation from the Foreign Secretary, who said it was divisive

:06:18. > :06:21.and wrong to stigmatise because of nationality. The British Olympian

:06:22. > :06:25.Sir Mo Farah was born in Somalia but lives with his family in America. He

:06:26. > :06:30.said he'd been deeply troubled and he'd have to tell his children that

:06:31. > :06:34.daddy might not be able to come home after a training camp in Ethiopia.

:06:35. > :06:38.The president, he added, had introduced a policy that comes from

:06:39. > :06:43.a place of ignorance and prejudice. And government ministers were

:06:44. > :06:48.publicly echoing concerns. The Prime Minister is not a shoot from the hip

:06:49. > :06:51.type of politician, she wants to see the evidence, she wants to

:06:52. > :06:55.understand precisely what the implications are. There is always

:06:56. > :06:59.pressure to respond within a news cycle and so on. The important thing

:07:00. > :07:03.is we are saying we disagree with it and we think it's wrong. Friends can

:07:04. > :07:07.be candid with each other, that's what the Prime Minister said before

:07:08. > :07:11.her trip to the United States. It now seems that is far easier in

:07:12. > :07:15.theory than it is in practice. And having failed to live up to her own

:07:16. > :07:20.words once, there is now criticism she's undermined her own strategy.

:07:21. > :07:24.After concern all day, the Foreign Office said tonight it had been

:07:25. > :07:29.reassured by the United States that it wasn't imposing travel bans on

:07:30. > :07:34.any UK dual nationals, though they might face extra checks. And the

:07:35. > :07:38.Labour leader stands by his call for Mr Trump's state visit to be cold

:07:39. > :07:42.off. I'm not happy about him coming here until the ban is lifted quite

:07:43. > :07:45.honestly. Because look at what's happening with those countries, how

:07:46. > :07:49.many more is it going to be and what is going to be the long-term effect

:07:50. > :07:53.of this on the rest of the world? This relationship, like many, is

:07:54. > :07:58.complicated. The last 24 hours have shown the difficulty of forging

:07:59. > :08:02.closer ties with the US while keeping a suitable distance from Mr

:08:03. > :08:04.Trump, a huge challenge the Prime Minister will have to get used to.

:08:05. > :08:07.In a moment we'll be speaking to our North America Editor Jon Sopel

:08:08. > :08:10.in Washington, but first Eleanor Garnier is here.

:08:11. > :08:16.How much detail do we have on how British citizens might be affected

:08:17. > :08:20.by this? First of all I should say this isn't an exemption for the UK,

:08:21. > :08:26.this is simply a clarification of the rules. In a sign of how

:08:27. > :08:29.difficult it has been to unpick everything, I'm told conversations

:08:30. > :08:32.have been had at the highest possible level all day. Boris

:08:33. > :08:37.Johnson on the phone to his US counterpart. To clarify if I can, if

:08:38. > :08:43.you are a British citizen who happens to be travelling to the US

:08:44. > :08:47.from Iraq, you will not be subjected to the ban. If you are age National,

:08:48. > :08:50.perhaps British and Iraqi nationalities, and you travel to

:08:51. > :08:55.America, you will not be subject to ban, though you will face some extra

:08:56. > :09:00.checks. As the Foreign Office understands it, it's only people who

:09:01. > :09:03.are just nationals of those seven named countries currently subject to

:09:04. > :09:07.a ban. We've been getting reaction coming in. Sir Mo Farah had said he

:09:08. > :09:13.is relieved but still fundamentally disagrees with what he cold a

:09:14. > :09:16.divisive and discriminatory policy. I've just given you the latest

:09:17. > :09:20.Foreign Office advice but I think there will still be a lot of

:09:21. > :09:24.confusion tonight, not least many people will be worried about them,

:09:25. > :09:27.their family, their friends, travelling to the united States,

:09:28. > :09:29.concerned about how these rules are being interpreted on the ground by

:09:30. > :09:33.US officials. And Jon Sopel is in

:09:34. > :09:39.Washington for us now. What sense did you get there about

:09:40. > :09:46.how the administration feels this is going? I think they have been rocked

:09:47. > :09:51.by the criticism and the protests we've seen springing up across

:09:52. > :09:54.America. Look, there was no surprise that extreme vetting was going to be

:09:55. > :10:00.introduced, Donald Trump has said it repeatedly, but there was so little

:10:01. > :10:03.political preparation, telling congressmen and women this was

:10:04. > :10:07.happening. There has been sullen silence from them over this weekend.

:10:08. > :10:09.More telling and more damaging, so little administrative preparation.

:10:10. > :10:15.You've had this situation where today we have Donald Trump's chief

:10:16. > :10:19.of staff saying, this won't affect green card holders. Yesterday the

:10:20. > :10:23.Department of Homeland Security said it would. We heard Eleanor trying to

:10:24. > :10:27.clarify the situation. And in the last few moments a statement from

:10:28. > :10:30.Donald Trump which is fascinating, because it seems to be much more

:10:31. > :10:34.conciliatory in tone. Let me read a bit of it. America is a proud nation

:10:35. > :10:37.of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing

:10:38. > :10:43.oppression, but we'll do so while protecting our own citizens. To be

:10:44. > :10:47.clear, this is not a Muslim ban, as the media is falsely reporting, this

:10:48. > :10:51.isn't about religion, this is about terror. I have tremendous feeling

:10:52. > :10:54.for the people involved in this horrific humanitarian crisis in

:10:55. > :10:59.Syria, my first priority will always be to protect and serve our country.

:11:00. > :11:05.But he says he's going to revisit the whole policy. Is it a U-turn?

:11:06. > :11:08.No. As the White House been rocked by the wave of criticism from around

:11:09. > :11:15.the world and with them in America? You bet it has.

:11:16. > :11:18.The US military has confirmed that Donald Trump has authorised

:11:19. > :11:20.the first raid by American special forces of his presidency.

:11:21. > :11:23.The pre dawn raid in Yemen targeted al Qaeda militants -

:11:24. > :11:26.A US serviceman also died, and three others were injured

:11:27. > :11:28.in the operation that was aimed at gathering intelligence

:11:29. > :11:38.In France, a politician from the hard left has defeated

:11:39. > :11:41.the country's former Prime Minister to become the Socialist party's

:11:42. > :11:45.Benoit Hamon, whose policies include legalising cannabis and introducing

:11:46. > :11:51.a universal basic income, prevailed against Manuel Valls.

:11:52. > :11:52.As our Paris Correspondent Lucy Williamson reports,

:11:53. > :11:56.it's another surprise in the race for the Elysee Palace.

:11:57. > :11:59.It was the unknown against the unpopular.

:12:00. > :12:05.And in this election, inexperience counts.

:12:06. > :12:07.Benoit Hamon has been dubbed France's Jeremy

:12:08. > :12:13.A one-time junior minister with a plan to tax robots, legalise

:12:14. > :12:21.marijuana and pay everyone ?600 a month.

:12:22. > :12:25.TRANSLATION: Faced with a privileged right and a destructive

:12:26. > :12:27.far right, our country needs the left.

:12:28. > :12:30.But a modern, innovative left that looks to the future.

:12:31. > :12:31.The problem is half the party hate his

:12:32. > :12:39.This primary was meant to force the socialists' slender

:12:40. > :12:42.chances by giving them a candidate they would unite around.

:12:43. > :12:43.But after five bitter years of infighting,

:12:44. > :12:50.Especially as this man is already siphoning centre-left supporters

:12:51. > :12:59.Emmanuel Macron is 39 years old and has never been

:13:00. > :13:05.more energy than experience, is drawing crowds his rivals can only

:13:22. > :13:44.But those last years, the Parti Socialiste was

:13:45. > :13:46.lost and the main subject on which it was not

:13:47. > :13:48.very clear was about the

:13:49. > :13:51.After political upheavals in America and the UK, how is

:13:52. > :13:52.France's presidential race taking shape?

:13:53. > :13:54.Francois Fillon, the centre-right favourite, is fighting

:13:55. > :13:56.off allegations that his wife received public money for work she

:13:57. > :14:02.Far right leader Marine Le Pen also has strong support.

:14:03. > :14:10.She's promised to pull France out of the you wrote and drastically reduce

:14:11. > :14:16.immigration. Benoit Hamon, lagging far behind, seems unlikely to pose a

:14:17. > :14:19.serious threat. But one man who could is Emmanuel Macron. He is

:14:20. > :14:24.likely to gain the most from the socialist choice of leader. This

:14:25. > :14:28.primary has eluded both the sitting president and a Prime Minister. The

:14:29. > :14:34.men with power, it seems, don't always win the party. Just as hard

:14:35. > :14:39.perhaps for the party to win power. Lucy Williamson, BBC News, Paris.

:14:50. > :14:52.A BBC investigation has found that dozens of councils in England have

:14:53. > :14:54.changed their policies on fining parents, as a result

:14:55. > :14:57.Our Education Editor, Branwen Jeffreys has the story.

:14:58. > :15:00.For some angry parents, Jon Platt is a bit of a hero.

:15:01. > :15:04.Dozens get in touch with him every day about term time holiday fines.

:15:05. > :15:07.You take a child on a five-day holiday and you live

:15:08. > :15:09.in somewhere like Suffolk, Lancashire, Norfolk or Swindon,

:15:10. > :15:12.they are going to send you a truancy penalty notice and then you have got

:15:25. > :15:26.After taking his daughter on holiday, she had 90% attendance.

:15:27. > :15:30.The legal row is about what going to school regularly means.

:15:31. > :15:32.If you look up the dictionary definition of regularly,

:15:33. > :15:35.because that's what this is all about, what it means

:15:36. > :15:36.to attend school regularly, the dictionary says,

:15:37. > :15:50.What about teachers and head teachers who are having to teach

:15:51. > :15:54.children to get them through their exams?

:15:55. > :16:00.And who say with ten time holidays every single week there might be a

:16:06. > :16:10.The issue is blown out of all proportion.

:18:21. > :18:25.but he battled his way to the final of the Australian Open once again,

:18:32. > :18:33.An old rivalry reignited, and Federer rolled back the years,

:18:34. > :18:37.Nadal himself was an unlikely finalist, also on the comeback

:18:38. > :18:47.With sweat and grit, Nadal was level, the second set secured.

:18:48. > :18:50.For a while it looked like he'd given all he had, while Federer

:18:51. > :18:54.had rediscovered his signature wizardry.

:18:55. > :18:56.But just when you think Rafael Nadal is beaten,
