:00:00. > :00:12.President Trump says he won't give up on his travel ban -
:00:13. > :00:24.and could submit new legislation in the coming days.
:00:25. > :00:27.We will win that battle but we have other options.
:00:28. > :00:29.Clashes in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad
:00:30. > :00:31.over government corruption - have left at least five people dead.
:00:32. > :00:34.At least six people die and dozens are injured as a powerful earthquake
:00:35. > :00:40.And another group of whales is stranded
:00:41. > :01:02.It comes after 300 died in the same bay on Friday.
:01:03. > :01:06.President Trump says he's considering issuing a new executive
:01:07. > :01:18.The president is hosting the Japanese Prime Minister but his
:01:19. > :01:23.weekend of golf and dining is dominated by questions over what
:01:24. > :01:28.comes next from his policy on immigration. The original order
:01:29. > :01:33.banned citizens from seven mainly Muslim countries from the United
:01:34. > :01:36.States. That has been overturned in the courts. Mr Trump told reporters
:01:37. > :01:41.on Air Force One a new order could be issued as early as Monday and he
:01:42. > :01:45.has not ruled out an appeal to the Supreme Court.
:01:46. > :01:58.It was one of his boldest first actions.
:01:59. > :02:01.After an appeals court backed the suspension of the ban, he said
:02:02. > :02:07.But speaking on Air Force One, the President revealed he is now
:02:08. > :02:12.We also have a lot of other options including just filing
:02:13. > :02:18.We need speed for reasons of security.
:02:19. > :02:21.It could very well be that we do that.
:02:22. > :02:24.But his tweet this morning showed he is still not
:02:25. > :02:42.The original executive order was signed at the end
:02:43. > :02:51.It immediately brought chaos to airport terminals and sparked
:02:52. > :02:59.It suspended America's refugee programme and banned travellers
:03:00. > :03:08.Exactly how the White House might rewrite the order is not clear.
:03:09. > :03:10.Perhaps that is something Donald Trump is considering this
:03:11. > :03:12.weekend as he hosts the Japanese Prime
:03:13. > :03:19.Lawyers would almost certainly have to address the claim that the ban
:03:20. > :03:21.is unconstitutional in its current form because it discriminates
:03:22. > :03:26.by blocking entry to the US on the grounds of religion.
:03:27. > :03:29.As he went for a round of golf, the president reasserted that tough
:03:30. > :03:31.immigration controls are crucial to protect America.
:03:32. > :03:38.But for now people are free to travel.
:03:39. > :03:41.So is the White House better off going to the Supreme Court
:03:42. > :03:49.How successful would a watered-down travel ban be in the courts?
:03:50. > :03:52.To answer these questions, I've been speaking to Areva Martin -
:03:53. > :03:58.a civil rights Attorney in Los Angeles.
:03:59. > :04:07.I think the White House is best advised to rethink the entire
:04:08. > :04:10.position and strategy around protecting the Borders and national
:04:11. > :04:17.security issues. The Court of Appeal made it clear that the current
:04:18. > :04:22.executive order potentially runs foul of the Constitution and they
:04:23. > :04:26.would not lift the ban on the executive order. I do not think the
:04:27. > :04:30.president will fare much better in the Supreme Court, we only have
:04:31. > :04:34.eight justices sitting and if it were to make it to the court in all
:04:35. > :04:41.likelihood they would be a swift decision on ideological lines which
:04:42. > :04:46.would mean the Court of opinion, the opinion would defect to be the law.
:04:47. > :04:49.Essentially a major loss for the president and the administration and
:04:50. > :04:56.I do not think trying to rewrite the ban is going to fare better because
:04:57. > :05:00.civil rights lawyers have vowed to continue to fight in the court
:05:01. > :05:06.system any efforts to ban individuals from this country on the
:05:07. > :05:10.basis of religion. Moving on to illegal immigrants in the United
:05:11. > :05:15.States. Concerned they might be deported, tell us why they are
:05:16. > :05:21.concerned? Well, there has been reports of some raids by the
:05:22. > :05:27.immigration and Customs and enforcement agencies in states like
:05:28. > :05:31.California and Texas and North Carolina and there is tremendous
:05:32. > :05:34.fear in immigration communities primarily because of the heated
:05:35. > :05:41.rhetoric, the highly charged rhetoric president from during his
:05:42. > :05:46.campaign and after he has been inaugurated around his efforts to
:05:47. > :05:50.deport millions and millions of immigrants in the country. The real
:05:51. > :05:55.concern here is priorities have changed and he is not just going
:05:56. > :06:00.after individuals that have committed violent crimes who
:06:01. > :06:05.everyone agrees should be the target of any deportation actions, but
:06:06. > :06:08.these families, we are seeing individuals, mothers, even, who were
:06:09. > :06:13.brought here as kids to have children of their own and there is
:06:14. > :06:17.fear families will be torn apart and individuals who have not committed
:06:18. > :06:22.violent crimes will be swept up in the raids. You might say that the
:06:23. > :06:26.rhetoric has changed but a spokesperson for the immigration and
:06:27. > :06:32.Customs enforcement says the operation was in the planning before
:06:33. > :06:36.the executive order and reports of checkpoints and that is
:06:37. > :06:39.irresponsible. What do you make of that? Conflicting information. We
:06:40. > :06:42.are being told different things depending on where the information
:06:43. > :06:48.comes from about whether these raids are as a result of the President's
:06:49. > :06:53.stepped up immigration policies or if they were all ready planned
:06:54. > :06:59.before Trump was elected. Right now, there was such a high level of
:07:00. > :07:00.distrust of the administration it is hard to know which stories are
:07:01. > :07:01.believable. Many thanks. Clashes in the Iraqi capital,
:07:02. > :07:04.Baghdad, between the security forces and supporters of a powerful
:07:05. > :07:06.Shia Muslim cleric have left The trouble began with
:07:07. > :07:09.a demonstration against corruption by tens of thousands of protesters
:07:10. > :07:12.waving Iraqi flags. Huge numbers of demonstraters
:07:13. > :07:20.converged on a square They chanted
:07:21. > :07:28.anti-government slogans. They complained of corruption
:07:29. > :07:30.and demanded changes to a commission Then some protesters tried to move
:07:31. > :07:36.towards a nearby area known as the Green Zone,
:07:37. > :07:42.which houses government ministries. Riot police were determined
:07:43. > :07:43.to drag them back, Video images from the scene show
:07:44. > :07:52.tear gas filling the air and the sound of explosions
:07:53. > :07:58.and gunfire can be heard. Well, staying in the region -

:08:16. > :08:33.a car into an Afghan National Army The target was a bank where
:08:34. > :08:37.government employees come every month to collect their salaries. It
:08:38. > :08:45.is seen as a soft target because this bank has been targeted in a
:08:46. > :08:50.similar manner a few years ago. After a few hours, the Taliban
:08:51. > :08:53.claimed responsibility saying the target was Afghan National Army
:08:54. > :09:01.personnel. Helmand has been the subject of heavy fighting and in the
:09:02. > :09:06.past few months even in the months of winter there has been sporadic
:09:07. > :09:13.fighting in the province where it is said 80% of it is now under Taliban
:09:14. > :09:19.control. Helmand is a strategic province and that is for the Taliban
:09:20. > :09:20.and government. Come summer, the fighting will become even more
:09:21. > :09:25.intense. Some other news... Violence has broken out in the Paris

:10:58. > :11:03.magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck late on Friday night. It sent panicked
:11:04. > :11:08.residents fleeing to the streets. Hospitals were pushed as the injured
:11:09. > :11:13.came in. More than 100 people were hurt but that number is expected to

:11:40. > :11:46.a further 240 whales have become stranded on a beach on the country's
:11:47. > :11:50.South Island. Hundreds have already died in one
:11:51. > :11:53.of the biggest ever mass strandings It's hoped they'll be able to swim

:12:03. > :12:04.of the scenes in this report Doing whatever they can to help
:12:05. > :12:09.before it's too late. These volunteers have been
:12:10. > :12:11.working for many hours, trying to keep the whales cool
:12:12. > :12:17.as they lie stranded. Some say singing also
:12:18. > :12:19.helps to keep them calm, but what they really need
:12:20. > :12:23.is high tide. Very quickly this tide has come
:12:24. > :12:26.racing in, and now we're all up to our knees,
:12:27. > :12:29.some people are up to their waists in water, and we're starting
:12:30. > :12:32.to get a bit of floating, and we're just helping assist
:12:33. > :12:34.the whales with their breathing until the water gets deep enough
:12:35. > :12:37.they can swim. This is one of the worst whale
:12:38. > :12:40.strandings in New Zealand's history. 400 whales came into
:12:41. > :12:43.Farewell Spit on Thursday. Rescuers managed to refloat 100
:12:44. > :12:46.of them, but they failed to stop Scientists don't know for sure
:12:47. > :12:54.why beaching happens. The whales could simply
:12:55. > :12:57.have become lost. One theory is that if a single
:12:58. > :12:59.whale gets stuck, others But once it has happened,
:13:00. > :13:05.it can lead to devastation. For those ones that restrand
:13:06. > :13:07.there's very little chance they will ever swim away,
:13:08. > :13:09.so we have to euthanise We do hope they corral their
:13:10. > :13:17.resources and head back out to sea. It's very difficult to manage that
:13:18. > :13:20.part of it, but dealing with the ones that are left
:13:21. > :13:22.is quite an issue. Efforts are stood down
:13:23. > :13:24.overnight for safety reasons, but the logistics of trying
:13:25. > :13:26.to save these whales and then dealing with

:21:22. > :21:26.that got England over the line today, as with France, what is it?
:21:27. > :21:30.It is gripped. The players believe we can be the best in the world. If
:21:31. > :21:35.you want to be the best you have to win the games. You are not at your
:21:36. > :21:40.best against an opposition playing well, and we did that today.
:21:41. > :21:41.After defeat to Scotland last week...
:21:42. > :21:44.They ran in nine tries to score the competition's first bonus point
:21:45. > :21:56.The movie industry in Pakistan has long been overshadowed
:21:57. > :21:59.by the output from Bollywood - so when Indian films were boycotted
:22:00. > :22:03.in Pakistan, many cinemas reported falling audiences.
:22:04. > :22:05.That ban has now been lifted - but Pakistani actors
:22:06. > :22:10.are still effectively prevented from working in India.
:22:11. > :22:13.Now one Pakistani leading man is calling for the two nations
:22:14. > :22:16.to open up their film industries to each other.
:22:17. > :22:18.Osman Khalid Butt says it would benefit both nations -
:22:19. > :22:27.and the BBC Asian Network's Haroon Rashid went to find out why.
:22:28. > :22:33.It was assumed he would not have any competition at the Pakistani box
:22:34. > :22:36.office because of the ban on Bollywood films. Now the movies are
:22:37. > :22:43.back in business and the start of the romantic drama says it is a good
:22:44. > :22:47.thing. We're not producing enough content in Pakistan to sustain
:22:48. > :22:52.ourselves on our own. Generations have grown up on Bollywood so to
:22:53. > :22:55.remove that we saw ourselves promoting the movie that it was put
:22:56. > :22:59.for the cinemas because of the lack of Indian movies so I believe it is
:23:00. > :23:04.great and healthy competition because it forces us to up our game
:23:05. > :23:08.and show what we have got to offer in Pakistan. On the other side of
:23:09. > :23:12.the border in India, Pakistani actors and stars are still banned
:23:13. > :23:17.from being part of Bollywood films, is it fair Pakistan is allowing
:23:18. > :23:23.their films to screen? There is a lot of jingoism and patriotism, when
:23:24. > :23:30.even our actors go across the border call people claim it is the power of
:23:31. > :23:36.the Indian and why not stay in Pakistan, even if we do not mention
:23:37. > :23:39.it and were critical we do feel pride at the plethora of Indian
