Welcome to bbc news. Just a week after donald trump imposed Travel Restrictions on people from seven muslim countries, a Us Federal Court has declared the ban to be unconstitutional and ordered its suspension. Many airlines have re opened flights to passengers affected by the ban. Donald trump has called the ruling ridiculous and has vowed to overturn it. Thats a battle that might end in the Supreme Court. From washington, Richard Lister reports. The other scenes which have characterised the first two weeks of the trump presidency. Foreign travellers held at airports, some allowed in, others turned back. Millions protesting what they see as discrimination against muslims and an unwonted change in american values. And all triggered by this one Executive Order, denying entry to people from seven countries. The order was hit by a series of legal challenges, the latest this Seattle Court which banned some people from returning to American Companies and colleges, damaging the united states. I find that the court should and will ground a temporary restraining order. The ban was suspended. It is obviously an historic decision and an important one for the rule of law and for the people in the state of washington and the people of our country. I said from the beginning it is not the loudest voice that prevails in a court room, its the constitution. Within hours of airlines were told by the Us Border Agency that the restrictions on travellers from the affected countries had been. The dish airways and a handful of others reflected that advice on their websites. These iraqi and iranian nationals at istanbuls airport wasted no time in boarding a long awaited fly to los angeles, considered that this time we would be allowed in. When President Trump arrived at his Weekend Retreat in florida, he would have hoped this key pa rt florida, he would have hoped this key part of his National Security policy was secure. And his fury at thejudges ruling was policy was secure. And his fury at the judges ruling was all too apparent. He tweeted he later added this is truly a politicised decision bya this is truly a politicised decision by a judge who doesnt understand the law brought in in the 1950s that gives the president the prerogative to determine how immigration is handled. That is the fact of the matter and thisjudge handled. That is the fact of the matter and this judge needs to understand that. The Trump Administration the president has the right to exclude anyone from the country on the grounds of National Security, but this judicial ruling says the president s Executive Order does america more harm than good. So the question seems almost certain to be decided here at the Supreme Court. Protesters were back on the streets in several American Cities today, as they were in london and across europe. But President Trump is adamant that ultimately he is right and he will win. Richard lister with that report and a little earlier he gave me more of an update from the steps of the Supreme Court in washington. At this stage we have not heard whether or not the Department Of Justice has filed a report that we arejust justice has filed a report that we are just hearing about. They said quite clearly after this ruling that the were going to move ahead with it, but publicly they havent said anything about whether or not they have wild that appeal yet. I think it would be extraordinary if they didnt. Clearly donald trump thinks he is well within his rights to make this president ial Executive Order. He feels it is part of his duty as president to ensure the security of the people of america and if he wa nts to the people of america and if he wants to exclude foreign nationals on the basis of National Security he has every right to do so. This certainly the white house and the department ofjustice are clear that they do not believe this order from thisjudge in seattle is appropriate oi thisjudge in seattle is appropriate or will be allowed to stand, but as the things stand we have not yet heard whether or not they have filed that appeal to the appeals court. Ultimately, as i said in my piece, it seems likely that once the lower courts have had their say, and this goes back and forth, it will have to come to the Supreme Court, where the judges will have to make a final decision. Labour is calling for a change in the law to stop Energy Companies putting up their prices. The shadow Chancellorjohn Mcdonnell said legislation was needed to end years of excessive profits. It follows widespread criticism of npower, who have announced price rises of up to 15 for some customers. Our Political Correspondent iain watson reports. Labour has not exactly been cooking with gas in the opinion polls, but with npower increasing some of its Energy Prices by 9 , the party sees an opportunity to appeal to people struggling to get by. Peoples wages have largely been frozen since 2007 08 in the economic crash. Since then that inflation has began to hit them as i know they are being hit by massive increases in Energy Prices. It is unacceptable, so in the short and we will have a cap and introduce legislation to do that. The Competition And Markets Authority last year poured cold water on the idea of price caps, but labour say this will be a temporary measure until the market is reformed. And havent we been here before . The next Labour Government will freeze gas and Electricity Prices until the start of 2017. Ed milibands pledge to freeze Energy Prices was popular at first, but didnt win labour an election. Immediately after the last election, labours former policy chief said the party had been reduced to what he described as small scale bribes, in other words simply giving consumers money off their energy bills wasnt enough to convince them labour could be trusted with the wider economy. And while some voters in liverpool welcomed labours new energy pledge, others needed more convincing. I think its a smashing idea. Times like this, times of austerity, everyone is struggling. If the energy firms think there isjustified Long Term Plan to do that in terms of betterness of welfare, there could be justified reasons to not put a cap on it. The government says it is prepared to do more for consumers. The department for business said in the meantime, the government says consumers should be prepared to switch between Energy Suppliers to get their prices down. And labour is hoping some ha rd pressed customers will also be prepared to switch their votes. Ian watson, bbc news.

Thats a justification for you to say he is a killer, but someone going to see the great museum, the louvre, and you fire on him . I say this is all a scenario made up of the french government to justify the soldiers opening fire inside the louvre. Four men, they dont know how to grab a man who is only this tall . Excuse me, even if he had hit one of them. So they shot him several times . Emanuel macron, a former Investment Banker whos never held elected office, has been holding a major rally in lyon with his eyes set on winning frances president ial election this spring. Some polls now put him in second place behind marine le pen, and ahead of the centre right candidate francois fillon.

Our Correspondentjonny Dymond is in paris and he described what makes Emanuel Macron an interesting president ial candidate for the electorate. I think it is what he is not promising as much as what he is promising as much as what he is promising that makes an interesting. It had the guy and being too unfair at the moment, these are early days in his campaign. He is an independent and not from the Socialist Party or the Republican Party or the National Front and thats probably why there is not a buzz around him and a good buzz there is, hugely enthusiastic crowds at this meeting in lyon. 8000 side the wall and 8000 in the overspill every.

An ecological country, a green agenda.

After days of mass protests, romanias government has withdrawn plans to water down the countrys anti corru ption laws. An official decree had decriminalised many offences committed by government officials. But that sparked the countrys biggest Anti Government demonstrations since the fall of communism. From bucharest, Steve Rosenberg reports. In the caress tonight it felt like an entire country had come together in one square.

There have been violent clashes between landowners and traditional herdsman in northern kenya. Tens of thousands of cattle are being driven onto farms and wildlife sanctuaries. The herdsmen say drought is forcing them to move their livestock. But ranchers say its politically motivated. From kenya, Alastair Leithead reports. In the grasslands below mount kenya, farmers are fighting a daily battle to keep control of their land. Wildlife is being killed and tourist lodges hit, as herds of cattle are being illegally driven onto private land by traditional herdsman in their tens of thousands. This is a game ranch, buffaloes and elephants usually drink here, but Traditional Pokot and Samburu Herdsman are driving their cattle through, destroying the land. It is because of drought, he told me, and this is the only place theres pasture, the only place we can bring our cows. But farmers say its less about drought and more about Politics Land in exchange for votes. This is a tourist lodge, set alight by herdsman, angry after clashes with Security Forces left one man dead. The owners were forced to flee, and then the looting began. People have been misused and told to go and destroy property, destroy the wildlife, try to destroy the livelihood of the place. The reality is that there are too many people, too much livestock and it is a global thing, its not just kenya. Overgrazing destroys a carefully managed environment, but also has other costs. Elephants are shot either because they threaten cattle, or, amid the lawlessness, for their ivory. Gunfire. We just stumbled across some of the illegal Cattle Herders Alastair Leithead, bbc news, laikipia, kenya. Now its time for the weather. Hello.
