Pregnant women expecting the mothers because it might affect transgender people. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. President trump has said an Executive Order to halt immigration from seven mainly islamic countries is not a ban on muslims entering the us. Hes facing a growing backlash both at home and abroad over the decree which has also suspended the entire Refugee Admissions Programme for four months. Refugees from syria have been banned indefinitely. Mr trump says his order is designed to protect america from radical Islamist Terrorists but its caused confusion and panic among travellers. New yorksjfk airport has been the scene of protests after a number of refugees were detained there while in transit. Civil Rights Groups have filed lawsuits demanding their release. A Lawyerfor Two Iraqi Men called the Executive Order disgraceful. The president s order has attracted criticism Around The World. Iraqi mps have requested reciprocal measures against americans iran has called the Immigration Ban An insult to the islamic world. the french president has urged mr trump to respect the principle of accepting refugees. And canada says it will continue to welcome those fleeing persecution. The president made several calls to World Leaders this evening, including president putin. Its thought no mention of the sanctions on ukraine were mentioned in the call, though the two men did agree on the importance of restoring trade links between the us and russia. Released after a night in the detention, this man is one of the first to feel the bite at Donald Trumps crackdown on immigration. The this man got his visa to come to america the day after trump was inaugurated. His release followed this. Donald trump does not get it. This is wrong and we are going to fight it. Right here on the streets, we are going to fight it in court and we are going to fight it every place and in every corner of america. This is not who we are the United States. Isjust one day since donald trump ended his first frenetic week by fulfilling his promise to impose tough new Immigration Laws aimed at predominately muslim countries. Roles he thinks will keep america safe from terrorism. You see it at the airport. It is working very nicely. We are going to have a very, very strict travel. Extreme vetting. We should have had it for many yea rs. We should have had it for many years. People from this sudan, libya, yemen, somalia. They cant come in for 120 days. The annual limit will be halved in future. Syrian refugees will be barred indefinitely. This is iraqi born a softwa re indefinitely. This is iraqi born a Software Engineer has been advised to stay put. Had trips planned for yesterday and next week, i was going to go to africa for business and i had to suspend all my travel and basically just sit still and thats how i ended up in boston. I wasnt planning to be in boston but i am 110w planning to be in boston but i am now here. A waiting to see whats going to happen without really a plan of where to go next. It has also emerged that people with a green card could also be banned from those seven named countries. Despite the fact that the card gives you write to employment and residence in the us. It is a move that could split families. There was a case where a wife was travelling back to around two visit her stepfather. Sick father. Leaving behind her two year old son. Now she cannot get back to see her family as it she is stuck in iran. Donald trumps Immigration Policy has brought condemnation from human Rights Groups and political opponents but his top rhetoric was one of the most important factors in his election victory and he seems determined to follow through with it. Earlier i spoke to professor Stephen Vladeck from texas School Of Law for some insight into Executive Orders, what they mean, and how they work. The Executive Order is basically a command to the entire Executive Branch and this includes our immigration authority, our Border Patrol authority and all other executive Branch Officers that this is how our new president believes our laws should be interpreted and enforced. It is binding upon those lower executive Branch Officers all the way down to those customs and Border Agents at the airports, which is where we saw the chaos today. And what sort of status does it have . Does it, for example, overrule the green card . So foreigners who have permanent residency status in the us. And what sort of status does it have . Does it, for example, overrule the green card . What sort of force does it have over a green card . It shouldnt have a lot of force. A green card is given by the Executive Branch but pursuant to authority from congress. An Executive Order is different. There are will be litigation and there have been cases filled today with regards to the green cards. Even refugees who may not have much in the way of constitutional protection, but who at the very least have the right to relief from religious discrimination. Do you expect a flurry of lawsuits now . As you say, we know that some have been filed. I think we are already seeing one major lawsuit filed this morning in the Federal District court that Coversjfk Airport in new york. I think we will see more next week. It seems clear that the Executive Order, no matter what it has in the way of merit, is remarkably and distressigly overbroad. I think the real question is going to be whether the administration realises that it is just asking for trouble given just how sweeping and broad and unprecedented this order is or whether well see an effort to scale it back, perhaps to insulate it from the Court Challenges that are already underway and are certain to follow. The use of the Executive Order is always to an extent controversial, isnt it . Yes, but it is always by degree. An Executive Order in many ways is just the president saying, this is how i understand the authority i have under both statues that congress has passed under the constitution. So the real question any time you have an Executive Order is just how consistent the new policies are with what congress has authorised and what the constitution allows. In this case, the answer to that question is very much going to depend on exactly which classes of immigrants we are talking about, and exactly what constitutional protections the courts ultimately conclude that they have. I think there will be a lot of trouble in the courts before all is said and done. This might well be the first tussle that President Trump has with courts and with congress. The first tussle and certainly not the last. It is worth noting that in that regard, particularly unrelated to President Trump, there are several cases pending. I think theres going to be a huge referendum in the courts, perhaps on capitol hill and then ultimately wihthiin the Executive Branch, on just how far the president can go in the name of national security. Lets keep in mind, the United States has been victim to a number of Terrorist Attacks on and since 9 11 and none of those attacks were committed by individuals from the seven countries listed in this order. So i think there is a long way to go for this administration to prove to congress, to the courts and the American People that if the real goal is counterterrorism, this kind of an extremely nationalistic and isolationist Foreign Policy is the right way to go. 0ur correspondent david willis is in washington. David, this Executive Order has unleashed consternation Around The World and potentially a great many legal challenges to come. You get the impression the white house is going to stand firm . Very much so. Donald trump in comments to the media and short while ago after he signed another Executive Order denying that this amounts to a muslin band. These are measures he believes should have been put in effect by the United States many Yea Rs Effect by the United States many years ago. effect by the United States many years ago. Muslim. As far as his baseis years ago. Muslim. As far as his base is concerned, the people who voted for him and put him in the white house will be very glad to hear about this sort of thing. While of course they will be those in europe and elsewhere in the world who are aghast. The president has made this a centrepiece of his campaign, of his run, for office. In the last few minutes, the white house were has revealed further details of his strategy for combating so called islamic state. He signed an Executive Order which basically directs his staff to develop a plan along those lines and we are also hearing that there was a one hour conversation today with vladimir putin, the russian leader, in which the two sides agreed to Work Together to achieve peace in syria and to defeat islamic state. Now that denotes a level of cooperation between those two nations that we have not seen certainly under president 0bama. Very interesting. Has there been any reaction from Senior Republicans to mr trumps action against immigrants and refugees . Certainly those republicans who have misgivings about this are appearing too big keeping their council, for now at least. Appearing to be keeping. There is believed that clearly this is something that got mr trump elected and it resonates with his base, if you like. We heard from the Senate Minority leader today who basically said the statue of liberty, as he put it, would have tea rs liberty, as he put it, would have tears running down its cheeks. Such is the extent of this quite radical move against islamic immigrants. David willis, we will leave it there. Many thanks.

Lorry drivers should be banned from using sat navs designed for cars, according to council chiefs. The calls to change Navigation Systems come after a number of lorries have got stuck in narrow roads or under low bridges. The local Government Association, wants legislation brought in, to make it compulsory for all Lorry Drivers in england and wales to use sat navs specifically designed for their vehicle. Keith doyle reports. When a large lorry tried to cross this bridge over the thames in buckinghamshire last year it caused hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage. It was ten times heavier than the bridges weight limit but its sat nav did not know that. Sat navs are leading large vehicles into unsuitable roads across the country. It causes damage and disruption. The local Government Association, which represents local authorities across england and wales, says Truck Drivers using sat navs and phones meant for cars are causing mayhem. They want to Lorry Drivers to be forced to use the right kind of sat navs for large vehicles. We are seeing a growing problem, i have more and more complaints from local residents who see Country Lanes blocked by vehicles who should not be going down them, and they see local high streets blocked by hgv vehicles and local economies are hit when you just see big lorries going over bridges that they just cannot take the weight for. Most Truck Drivers use the right kind of sat navs but they say they are no substitute for common sense. Sat navs are ok but you cannot rely on them. We have a particularly special one for hgvs and even they go wrong. It is just watching road signs and being careful, that is not to say you dont come unstuck and you have to turn around sometimes. The bridge has now reopened after two months of repairs but locals say they live in fear of a similar accident closing it at any time, and that is why the local Government Association says something needs to be done to stop drivers of larger vehicles using the wrong kind of sat nav that is leading them into nothing but trouble.
