President Trump says he may rewrite the executive order that attempted

:00:21.:00:26.

to ban people from seven mainly Muslim countries from

:00:27.:00:28.

The President's initial executive order was, of course,

:00:29.:00:33.

overturned by the courts on the grounds it was

:00:34.:00:36.

But Donald Trump did say he had still not ruled out an appeal

:00:37.:00:41.

to the Supreme Court over the original directive.

:00:42.:00:44.

Our correspondent Dan Johnson has this report.

:00:45.:00:51.

It was one of his boldest first actions on taking office. After an

:00:52.:00:58.

appeals court backed the suspension of Donald Trump's travel ban, he

:00:59.:01:03.

vowed he would see his opponents in court. But speaking on airforce one

:01:04.:01:08.

the President revealed he's now considering other options. We will

:01:09.:01:13.

win that battle. But we also have a lot of other options, including file

:01:14.:01:17.

ago brand new order on Monday. Is that the plan? Could very well be, I

:01:18.:01:22.

would like to surprise you. We need speed for reasons of security, so,

:01:23.:01:26.

it could very well be that we do that. But his tweet this morning

:01:27.:01:31.

showed he is still not happy with the judges. Our legal system is

:01:32.:01:37.

broken, he wrote. 77% of refugees allowed into the US since the travel

:01:38.:01:42.

reprieve hail from the seven suspect countries. So dangerous!

:01:43.:01:48.

The original executive order was signed at the end of his frantic

:01:49.:01:56.

first week. It immediately brought chaos to

:01:57.:02:01.

airport terminals and sparked protests across the country. It

:02:02.:02:07.

suspended America's refugee programme and banned travellers from

:02:08.:02:12.

seven majority Muslim nations. Exactly how the White House might

:02:13.:02:16.

rewrite the order isn't clear, perhaps that's something Donald

:02:17.:02:19.

Trump's considering this weekend as he hosts the Japanese Prime Minister

:02:20.:02:22.

in Florida. Lawyers would almost certainly have to address the claim

:02:23.:02:26.

the ban is unconstitutional in its current form, essentially because it

:02:27.:02:30.

discriminates by blocking entry to the US on the grounds of religion.

:02:31.:02:35.

As he went for a round of golf, the President reasserted that tough

:02:36.:02:38.

immigration controls are crucial to protect America. But for now people

:02:39.:02:42.

are free to travel. Dan Johnson, BBC News.

:02:43.:02:45.

European Union countries could struggle to maintain a united

:02:46.:02:48.

front during Brexit negotiations, according to the President

:02:49.:02:50.

Jean-Claude Juncker has told a German radio station

:02:51.:02:55.

that the challenge of Britain dealing with each country

:02:56.:02:57.

individually will put pressure on the bloc.

:02:58.:03:00.

Our political correspondent Chris Mason is here.

:03:01.:03:04.

Explain perhaps exactly what he means, what has he said? This is an

:03:05.:03:11.

interview he had done with a radio strags to be broadcast tomorrow.

:03:12.:03:14.

It's reported what he said within the last hour. What's interesting is

:03:15.:03:18.

that inevitably the focus here in the UK on the forthcoming Brexit

:03:19.:03:21.

negotiations has been what might the British Government be able to

:03:22.:03:26.

achieve or not. What are the hopes and fears? What this interview

:03:27.:03:29.

offers an insight into is the hopes and fears on the other side of the

:03:30.:03:35.

channel. Here is a key quote. The other countries don't know it yet,

:03:36.:03:38.

he says, but the Brits know very well how they can tackle this, they

:03:39.:03:44.

could promise country A this and country B and C something else and

:03:45.:03:47.

the aim game is there wouldn't be a united European front. That's the

:03:48.:03:50.

challenge for the 27 countries, they're part of this bloc that

:03:51.:03:54.

requires a certain amount of working together but they all have their own

:03:55.:04:00.

individual demands and desires too. Another reminder of the

:04:01.:04:02.

unprecedented scale and challenge coming for the UK and the EU as we

:04:03.:04:07.

are now weeks away from the Brexit process beginning.

:04:08.:04:07.

Thank you. At least six people have been killed

:04:08.:04:13.

and more than 20 injured in a car bomb attack in Lashkar Gar,

:04:14.:04:16.

the capital of Afghanistan's A car loaded with explosives

:04:17.:04:19.

was driven into a group They had been queuing

:04:20.:04:22.

to collect their salaries. The Taliban have taken

:04:23.:04:26.

responsibility for the attack having Campaigners have delivered

:04:27.:04:28.

a petition with around 50,000 signatures to Downing Street calling

:04:29.:04:36.

for Theresa May to reopen a scheme The campaign has been led by former

:04:37.:04:44.

refugee Lord Dubs. The government this week

:04:45.:04:47.

scrapped its plans to re-home thousands of unaccompanied children

:04:48.:04:49.

from Syria and other war zones, after the arrival

:04:50.:04:51.

of just 150 youngsters. Another 240 pilot whales

:04:52.:04:57.

have become stranded in a remote bay in New Zealand

:04:58.:05:00.

in what conservationists say is the country's biggest

:05:01.:05:02.

beaching for 100 years. The pod is thought to include some

:05:03.:05:07.

of the 100 whales who were rescued You might find some

:05:08.:05:10.

of the scenes in this report Doing whatever they can to help

:05:11.:05:17.

before it's too late. These volunteers have been working

:05:18.:05:23.

for many hours trying to keep the whales cool

:05:24.:05:27.

as they lie stranded. Some say singing also

:05:28.:05:30.

helps to keep them calm but what they really need

:05:31.:05:35.

is high tide. Very quickly this tide has

:05:36.:05:37.

come racing in and now we are all up to our knees,

:05:38.:05:40.

some people are up to their waists in water and we're starting to get

:05:41.:05:44.

a bit of floating happening and we're just helping assist

:05:45.:05:47.

the whales with their breathing until the water gets deep enough

:05:48.:05:49.

so they can swim. This is one of the worst whale

:05:50.:05:52.

strandings in New Zealand's history. 400 whales came in to Farewell Spit

:05:53.:05:55.

on Thursday, rescuers managed to refloat 100 of them

:05:56.:05:57.

but they failed to stop Scientists don't know for sure why

:05:58.:06:02.

beaching happenings. Scientists don't know for sure

:06:03.:06:11.

why beaching happens. The whales could simply

:06:12.:06:13.

have become lost. One theory is that if a single

:06:14.:06:15.

whale gets stuck others follow its distress signal but once

:06:16.:06:17.

it has happened it can For those ones that restrand

:06:18.:06:20.

there is very little chance So we have to euthanise

:06:21.:06:24.

those ones there. We do hope that they corral their

:06:25.:06:27.

resources and head back out to sea. It's difficult to manage that part

:06:28.:06:30.

of it but dealing with the ones that Efforts are stood down overnight

:06:31.:06:33.

for safety reasons but the logistics of trying to save these whales

:06:34.:06:41.

and then dealing with the aftermath if they can't

:06:42.:06:43.

will start again tomorrow. Sport, and in a week when there has

:06:44.:06:45.

been renewed speculation over manager Arsene Wenger's future,

:06:46.:06:54.

Arsenal have beaten Hull City 2-0 The win came after two

:06:55.:06:56.

defeats for Wenger's side. At Arsenal they're united

:06:57.:07:00.

in gratitude but divided by faith. Manager Arsene Wenger

:07:01.:07:08.

is the dominant figure in their modern history

:07:09.:07:10.

but what about the future? Consider the words of a former

:07:11.:07:12.

Arsenal striker who met He actually mentioned

:07:13.:07:14.

while we were talking last night Wenger's attacking philosophy

:07:15.:07:19.

is still clear to say Look at the numbers swarming

:07:20.:07:27.

over Hull City here. Alexis Sanchez was

:07:28.:07:33.

the important one. After the break Hull

:07:34.:07:35.

channelled their protests In their relegation fight

:07:36.:07:38.

every chance matters. Hull felt Kieran Gibbs denied them

:07:39.:07:41.

a goal-scoring opportunity here. Fired by frustration,

:07:42.:07:51.

the Tigers threatened It was important for to us win.

:07:52.:08:12.

How the final three months of Arsenal's season pan out may

:08:13.:08:14.

determine whether these are supporting words or parting ones.

:08:15.:08:18.

Patrick Gearey, BBC News. The second round of Six Nations

:08:19.:08:23.

matches are taking place today. Ireland are facing Italy in Rome

:08:24.:08:25.

right now, while Wales take on England in less than an hour

:08:26.:08:28.

in Cardiff from where we can join Much anticipated match this is going

:08:29.:08:38.

to be. Absolutely. The roof may be open but you didn't think it would

:08:39.:08:42.

be quiet. We are already warming up and some of the Wales players are

:08:43.:08:45.

over there. England players the other side. Dan Biggar warming up,

:08:46.:08:51.

by the way, if you were worried about his fitness. It's cold outside

:08:52.:08:54.

it's an incentive to come into the stadium early. The six nations is

:08:55.:08:58.

played over weeks but you can't start slow. Both teams won their

:08:59.:09:01.

opening matches but both need to find more urgency in this game. A

:09:02.:09:06.

lot of focus of course on England's Cardiff novices. Ireland started so

:09:07.:09:10.

slowly in the Six Nations they lost in Edinburgh. So, a really essential

:09:11.:09:14.

for them to come up with something against Italy in Rome. They've been

:09:15.:09:17.

on top in that game almost from the start. Scored four tries in the

:09:18.:09:23.

first half. It gave them the first ever Six Nations bonus point. One

:09:24.:09:26.

result to give you from Cardiff already in the women's Six Nations,

:09:27.:09:31.

it finished Wales 0, England 63. If the score is anything like that in

:09:32.:09:35.

the men's match they'll be opening the exits, never mind the roof. Of

:09:36.:09:38.

course it will be a lot closer. Thank you very much.

:09:39.:09:42.

Before we go, a group of tigers in a zoo in China have become

:09:43.:09:46.

a tourist and internet sensation because they're so fat.

:09:47.:09:50.

The big cats have packed on the pounds over winter,

:09:51.:09:55.

but zookeepers say they'll slim down in the summer.

:09:56.:09:57.

They're blaming unflattering camera angles for making some

:09:58.:10:01.

of the animals so portly but said they would step in and help any

:10:02.:10:10.

There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News channel.
