:05:35. > :05:39.our correspondent at JFK airport. Just tell us what you have seen this
:05:40. > :05:45.how people are being affected by this executive order. There is a
:05:46. > :05:50.growing number of protesters who have come here to demonstrate
:05:51. > :05:54.against what they see as President from's Muslim ban, but inside the
:05:55. > :05:59.terminal more than 20 people have been detained since this order was
:06:00. > :06:04.signed on Friday. Among them relatives of people who are active
:06:05. > :06:07.members of the US military, who have come here to protest at the
:06:08. > :06:15.treatment of their relatives. There was also someone who had worked for
:06:16. > :06:20.the United States military in Iraq who was detained and then released,
:06:21. > :06:24.a Yemeni grandmother with diabetes, an elderly Somali man who was met by
:06:25. > :06:31.his son. These are the kinds of people who have been caught up in
:06:32. > :06:35.this and there are about 40 volunteer lawyers inside terminal
:06:36. > :06:41.four, many of them work for corporate law firms but they have
:06:42. > :06:46.come here to volunteer their services to provide legal
:06:47. > :06:51.representation for those detained and as of now, there are six people
:06:52. > :06:59.detained. I don't know whether you have seen the Foreign Office
:07:00. > :07:02.statement here. It basically has clarified that the order does not
:07:03. > :07:10.necessarily affect those coming from the UK. In practical terms, we are
:07:11. > :07:13.hearing all sorts of stories of people travelling from different
:07:14. > :07:20.parts of the world, is there any sense of clarity about what
:07:21. > :07:25.officials should be following? It is completely confused. Amongst those
:07:26. > :07:29.detained are people who are legal, permanent residence of the United
:07:30. > :07:35.States, green card holders. They have mostly been Iranian Americans
:07:36. > :07:40.who have been abroad for a variety of reasons. One is a student here on
:07:41. > :07:45.Rhode Island and she returned here and was detained. The administration
:07:46. > :07:48.already on talk shows walking back and saying this is not supposed to
:07:49. > :08:02.apply to holders of green cards. In the UK, there has been a lot of
:08:03. > :08:06.reaction to the migrant ban and there is a petition on the
:08:07. > :08:10.Parliament website saying President Trump should not be allowed the
:08:11. > :08:16.privilege of a state visit when he comes to the UK because it would
:08:17. > :08:21.embarrass the Queen. In less than a date it has gained nearly 700,000
:08:22. > :08:22.signatures meaning it could be considered for a debate in
:08:23. > :08:27.Parliament. In the last hour, the latest advice
:08:28. > :08:30.from the British Foreign Office is that the US Presidential
:08:31. > :08:32.executive order only applies to individuals travelling from one
:08:33. > :08:35.of the seven named countries and not To get more clarification on this
:08:36. > :08:41.statement, we're joined by our correspondent,
:08:42. > :08:55.Richard Lister. We have had a lot of coverage today
:08:56. > :09:00.of Mo Farah and also a British MP. This clarification, does it make
:09:01. > :09:08.things clear because it seems to be contrary to what we have heard? It
:09:09. > :09:12.is certainly good news for Mo Farah, but basically the Foreign and
:09:13. > :09:15.Commonwealth Office has put on its website a statement saying the
:09:16. > :09:21.Foreign Secretary has had conversations with the US government
:09:22. > :09:26.and they can clarify that anybody who is a UK national who happens to
:09:27. > :09:32.be travelling from one of the seven countries targeted by this executive
:09:33. > :09:37.order, anybody who is doing that who is a UK national, and the order does
:09:38. > :09:42.not apply to you even if you were born in one of those countries so UK
:09:43. > :09:49.nationals seem to be given a pass. If you are a dealer citizens of one
:09:50. > :09:54.of those countries, travelling to the US from outside those countries,
:09:55. > :10:01.the order does not apply to you. Mo Farah is a dual nationality Somali
:10:02. > :10:06.citizen. He is training in Ethiopian and he was concerned he would not
:10:07. > :10:11.get back to the US which is currently his home base. His family
:10:12. > :10:16.are there but if the Foreign Office is to be believed, he will be able
:10:17. > :10:20.to do that because he is not travelling to the US from one of
:10:21. > :10:26.those countries affected. What about those who have come from one of the
:10:27. > :10:33.countries named, but if they come to London for a night, and start a
:10:34. > :10:38.fresh journey, will they not be affected? There was the case of an
:10:39. > :10:47.Iraqi family who travelled through Cairo. They were turned back. They
:10:48. > :10:51.could argue, according to this advice, that they were travelling
:10:52. > :10:55.from Cairo but their journey originated in Iraq and so therefore
:10:56. > :11:00.they were turned back. The real problem is there is not a great deal
:11:01. > :11:04.of clarity about how these rules are being interpreted around the world
:11:05. > :11:11.and even the Trump administration seems to be backtracking that it
:11:12. > :11:15.said earlier this week. Again we are seeking clarification from the White
:11:16. > :11:19.House. That will come in the next few hours hopefully. Do stay with
:11:20. > :11:32.us. More ahead. The Socialist party in France makes
:11:33. > :12:40.is choice but does he stand a chance in the presidential election?
:12:41. > :12:43.Political and legal opposition is growing in the United States
:12:44. > :12:45.to President Trump's order to prevent the entry
:12:46. > :12:56.of refugees and citizens of seven Muslim countries.
:12:57. > :13:01.And the British government has been talking about British exemptions to
:13:02. > :13:05.the travel ban. A former education minister,
:13:06. > :13:07.Benoit Hamon, has won Sunday's run-off to be
:13:08. > :13:09.the French Socialist Party's The hard left politician
:13:10. > :13:12.was comfortably beating his rival the former Prime Minister,

:13:27. > :13:39.London. Tell us about Benoit Hamon and does
:13:40. > :13:46.he have a chance to become president? It is a mountain to climb
:13:47. > :13:50.because they are so behind in the polls of the Socialist party which
:13:51. > :13:58.reflects how popular the government has been. This victory might turn a
:13:59. > :14:02.little bit the game, but also it will vitalise the left which has
:14:03. > :14:09.been clearly nonexistent and in disarray. I think his chance is to
:14:10. > :14:14.do that, try to unify the different segments of the left. First of all,
:14:15. > :14:22.his own party, which will not be easy because the right-wing might be
:14:23. > :14:30.tempted to look to the centre with the other candidates, but also on
:14:31. > :14:37.the left of the Socialist party, there is another candidate who is
:14:38. > :14:42.ahead. A difficult task for him to unify the left, make sure it does
:14:43. > :14:49.not lose too many votes in the centre. But at least the Socialist
:14:50. > :14:55.party gives itself a chance to at least not to get a crushing defeat.
:14:56. > :15:03.The fear of all moderates is that a Le Pen victory. I don't think it
:15:04. > :15:13.will impact much on her eventual victory as you say. I think you
:15:14. > :15:19.would have to look at Phil on who is in trouble for other reasons. It is
:15:20. > :15:28.an incredible race, full of upsets and surprises. He is accused of
:15:29. > :15:31.various things to do with his wife. This antiestablishment mood that we
:15:32. > :15:37.are seeing all over the world, how does this play into having a new,
:15:38. > :15:46.very left wing leader for the Socialist, very right wing popular
:15:47. > :15:58.leader. The main party, centre left, centre right... Don't inspire
:15:59. > :16:03.confidence and are not supported. Mac ron is doing well but he is a
:16:04. > :16:08.lonely man. He does not have a proper party behind him. He tries to
:16:09. > :16:16.get votes from the centre-left but he is in the centre so he will not
:16:17. > :16:18.make it to the second round. Benoit Hamon's victory changes the
:16:19. > :16:24.situation. At least there is someone to represent the values of the left,
:16:25. > :16:31.something a number of voters, those who voted for Francois Hollande had
:16:32. > :16:33.the lowest hope in this party. I think they can come back and support

:17:37. > :17:41.demonstrating against those new orders, that executive order from
:17:42. > :17:49.President Trump on trying to restrict migration. We have heard
:17:50. > :17:54.about the kind of international condemnation that this refugee ban
:17:55. > :18:06.is attracting. What will be long-term consequences be on US
:18:07. > :18:13.foreign relations? First of all, we are seeing massive opposition, the
:18:14. > :18:19.attorneys general saying this is unconstitutional. Will this
:18:20. > :18:24.policyholder? President trumpeted is determined to implement the policy
:18:25. > :18:28.unless Republican senators organise against it, there is little
:18:29. > :18:31.difference protests can make but there is clearly outraged across the
:18:32. > :18:36.country not only to this but to others in the past week. What will
:18:37. > :18:43.be the impact on foreign relations with other countries we have seen?
:18:44. > :18:51.There is immense concerned that this will backfire and radicalised
:18:52. > :18:57.opposition? This order invites violence targeting US citizens, US
:18:58. > :19:01.interests. Clearly the world is appalled at the Islamophobia that is
:19:02. > :19:06.behind this executive order and there's a real risk of a violent
:19:07. > :19:19.backlash against the United States. Why has Saudi, Qatar and other Sunni
:19:20. > :19:22.states, citizens of those countries have been involved in
:19:23. > :19:29.radicalisation, why have they not been involved? It is curious. Those
:19:30. > :19:37.happen to be countries where Trump has business interests. I wonder if
:19:38. > :19:46.there is any link. When you say this is going to have a", some will say
:19:47. > :19:50.President Trump is saying, voicing a concern that many have around the
:19:51. > :19:58.world which is about security and he is taking action that is going to be
:19:59. > :20:03.popular. It is legitimate to have security concerns, but this idea of
:20:04. > :20:08.extreme betting is not new. Prior to the executive action, the vetting
:20:09. > :20:15.process was very intense. It would take an applicant to come here under
:20:16. > :20:19.the asylum programme or as a refugee 18-24 months to be approved. It is
:20:20. > :20:25.nothing new that can be done on the betting side. What is being done
:20:26. > :20:31.here is security is being used as an excuse to justify chauvinism and
:20:32. > :20:41.Islamophobia. How do you think it will in practical terms, have
:20:42. > :20:46.impacts on big countries like Iran? Seven countries listed here. We are
:20:47. > :20:51.hearing that Canada will provide temporary shelter to people stranded
:20:52. > :20:57.as a result of the tops order but a number of countries, how will it
:20:58. > :21:01.affect direct relations with the US? These countries will take reciprocal
:21:02. > :21:12.measures. Iran has said that if nationals are not able to travel to
:21:13. > :21:21.the US, they will do similar. This is going to have a ripple effect
:21:22. > :21:29.across... Sorry, they sound just breaking up. But thank you for
:21:30. > :21:41.speaking to us. Let's move on and catch up with some of the sport now.
:21:42. > :21:46.Big day in tennis. Roger Federer says he had never thought he would
:21:47. > :21:53.make it back to a grand slam final but he has picked up his 18th title.
:21:54. > :21:55.He spent the past six months on the sidelines with injury but he
:21:56. > :22:02.overcame Rafa Nadal in a thrilling final. I don't think either one of
:22:03. > :22:07.us believed we would be in the final was when we saw each other at the
:22:08. > :22:14.Academy five, four months ago and here we stand in the finals. Tennis
:22:15. > :22:18.is a tough sport, there are no draws but if there was one, I would be
:22:19. > :22:28.happy to accept one tonight and accept it with Rafa. It could not
:22:29. > :22:37.happen here, but it can happen on clay if I am able to play like this,
:22:38. > :22:46.hold matches like this and recover well... Opponents will not get that
:22:47. > :22:51.many free points and I am playing solely from the baseline, if I make
:22:52. > :23:00.that happen, I think I can have success on hard courts.
:23:01. > :23:02.Three more shocks in the English FA Cup on Sunday.

:23:22. > :23:24.Manchester United start for a year with a goal and an assist
:23:25. > :23:38.We deserved to win. The first half was not very good but we managed to
:23:39. > :23:46.be won- zero in front and then at half-time we spoke about changing a
:23:47. > :23:52.few things, the boys accepted it well and the second half was much
:23:53. > :23:56.better. We deserved to win, the job was done and we are in the last 16.
:23:57. > :23:59.Championship side Fulham pulled off an upset as they thrashed Hull City
:24:00. > :24:01.at Craven Cottage to progress to the fifth round.
:24:02. > :24:03.Afterwards the Hull boss Marco Silva said Fulham
:24:04. > :24:07.deserved to win the game - we have a lot of problems to solve

:25:37. > :25:40.adamant that next time round he wants to fight in Belfast because
:25:41. > :25:44.his fans have now travelled here to the USA three times in a row but the
:25:45. > :25:50.pull of the casinos and the money here in Vegas means that those

:25:59. > :26:17.Goodbye. The weather was very split today.
:26:18. > :26:23.Sunshine across Scotland, heavy rain in the south. The week ahead very
