Welcome to bbc news. President trump has announced a new travel ban to prevent citizens from a number of predominantly muslim countries entering the united states. Its a revised version of the ban which was blocked by the courts last month. This time iraq is not on the list, and the wording has been changed to try to avert any legal challenges. The us attorney generaljeff sessions claimed all six countries were connected directly or indirectly to terrorism. Our north america correspondent nick bryant has the latest. There was applause when President Trump signed the First Executive order, but it caused anger, chaos and confusion at americas airports as the travel ban on entrants from seven mainly muslim countries was hurriedly put into effect but the us courts blocked it opening the borders, delivering an embarrassing rebuke to President Trump. So today he signed a revised ban with unusually little fanfare. The Washington Press corps not invited to witness it and this photograph taken instead by a white house staffer. He left it to a Senior Administration officials to sell one of his signature policies. It is the president s solemn duty to protect the american people. And with this order President Trump is exercising his rightful authority to keep our people safe. Whilst citizens from somalia, sudan, syria, iran, libya and yemen are still affected, iraq, unlike last time, is not on the list. People with legal residency in the us who are holders of green cards and those who already had visas will not be subject to the ban. Syrian refugees originally banned indefinitely are not singled out for harsher treatment. The Trump Administration claims some refugees pose a potential terror threat. In fact, today more than 300 people, according to the fbi, who came here as refugees, are underan fbi investigation today for potential terrorism related activities. By delaying its implementation until later in the month the white house is hoping to avoid a repeat of the botched roll out of the original travel ban. Removing iraq, a key ally, is designed to make it more politically palatable for republican critics. And the Trump Administration has tried to make it legally watertight. But to constitutional scholars think they have succeeded . There are still grounds to challenge this executive order. In fact, they are the same grounds as before, it willjust be more difficult. None of this means that courts could not strike this town or issue a restraining order, its just that it will be tougher. This has fewer edges. The muslim neighbourhoods of america such as this one in michigan, the travel ban affects Family Members and friends. And many complain it also marginalises them. Its really sad because its affecting a lot of people and its going to hurt a lot of people. I think its a wrong decision. I wish he would teach us how to love each other more and be more peaceful, do not say this group is bad, that group is bad. America has long celebrated its welcoming tradition towards immigrants, symbolised by the statue of liberty. But opinion on the travel ban exposes deep divisions here between those who protest its un american and those who believe its necessary to protect the american homeland. There are concerns about the future of around 4,500 people who work at Vauxhall Plants in the uk after the business was bought by a french car company. Psa, which already owns peugeot and citroen, has agreed a deal to buy vauxhall in britain and opel in germany forjust under £2 billion. Vauxhall has two factories in luton and Ellesmere Port. Unions say the fight begins now to try safeguard jobs. Heres our industry correspondentjohn moylan. Vauxhalls vast plant at luton, the centre of gms but soon what happens he will be decided in france. It has many people worried. I myself have been here for 30 years. I looked over when they bought other plans. They did not go as well as people fought them. So we will have to see what happens. It does not sound like a terrible thing for us.

Gm europe is not turned a profit since 1999. But its new owners have cast laich this will change all that. 4,500. This is a result of a four year Joint Venture with peugeot, and devastated that because that is can be found. What about job security at vauxhalls plans . The boss has promised to ensure that existing production guarantees. He said after that the workers future were in their hands. I trust my vauxhall employees in the uk. I trust them. I know that they are skilled. I know that they are dedicated. I know that they are committed. And i trust that they are committed. And i trust that they will be in a very good position by working in a constructive and open manner. As long as we improve the performance and become the best, there is no risk they should feel. Here at els airport, the Vauxhall Last Ride has been rolling off the Production Line since the 1980s. But to secure its future, younis two owners know they must develop a vehicle from the plant in the next few years. But to secure its future, the owners know they must. The conversations that i and the primers have had both with gm and psa tell me that they intend to safeguard the pies, honour their commitments, and look to increase the performance and the sales of cars. So we want to hold them to those commitments. What is it meant vauxhalls plans . There could be charis when we leave this idyll parker, make it a more expensive. When we leave the single market. Tariffs. The former boss of gms european operations as this could be a make or break issue for vauxhalls pla nts a make or break issue for vauxhalls plants if the new group needs to make cuts. There will be access capacity and the uk is in a week, brother to the weak position, compared to other european countries. Not because the plans are inefficient. They are. Theyjust dont have enough components purchased here, soap is the cost of the carup purchased here, soap is the cost of the car up because they need to import so many components. Britains auto sector has been a huge success story. But the creation of this new European Car Giant could present major challenges. Security services have prevented i3 Potential Terror Attacks In Britain since 2013. Thats according to the uks most senior Counter Terrorism officer.

Our alec ross bonded in paris told us our alec ross bonded in paris told us what others might affect the other candidates. It probably wont make things easier for rent at them. She properly hoping to inherit some of his supporters if he stood down. On the other hand, the party has worked to do two drawbacks of a centrist voters who might have drifted towards emmanuel macron. And that could be difficult. Precisely long is under investigation. He is still something of an make a gamble. But the party has problems. The first problem is they do not have time. They need to confirm their canada by next week. The second is that mr fillon would sibley nocco. No matter how bad things got, it is simply said he would not stand down. That has somewhat forced the partys hand. That is something that he repeated and i before going into the meeting, and it looked like he went into that wall. The president ial race is still open. A zoo in cumbria, where nearly 500 animals died within four years, has been ordered to close. The owner of south Lakes Safari Zoo where a tiger keeper was mauled to death in 2013 was refused a new licence to operate by the local authority. He now has four weeks to appeal against the decision, as our correspondent danny savage reports. South lake safari zoo. Conditions for some of the animals here have been so bad its now been ordered to close. The problem is animal welfare. An inspection in january found poor accommodation, uncontrolled breeding, and exotic animals living in unheated, rat infested conditions. Weve had reports from the public over many years that weve obviously chased up with the council with animals having head injuries, from feeding experiences where people have been absolutely disgusted at the state of them. Its just been an ongoing issue with animal welfare, really, and neglect for even the most basic needs. The zoo has been dogged with trouble for years. A keeper, 24 year old sarah mcclay, was killed by a tiger in 2013. Her brother believes it should have closed them. All the reports over the past week have said 500 animals died in the past four years. Its four years ago that sarah died. So if youd closed the zoo down after an employee had died them all this mistreatment of animals wouldnt have come out. I think it should have been closed down four years ago. It wasnt and now look whats happened to all those animals. The man refused a licence to run the zoo today is david gill, described by inspectors as being desperate to keep control here one way or another. And it was david gills attitude towards the number of Animal Deaths which concerned inspectors. They say he didnt seem to have a problem with it, and a keeper told the Inspection Team that their instructions were to dispose of bodies and not tell anyone about them. David gill says he no longer wants to operate the zoo but without his license the new company now running it cant function. So the site is now facing closure and the animals may need new homes. Danny savage, bbc news, south cumbria. Thats a summary of the news, newsday is coming up at midnight. Now on bbc news its time for newsnight. Its budget day on wednesday. The chancellor will set out his plans. But as mike tyson famously said, everyone has a plan until they get a smack in the mouth. Phillip hammond knows brexit hangs over everything right now. But can he carry on the job of getting borrowing down . I think the Public Sector is coming to the point where there are going to be large social costs from increasing amounts of Public Sector austerity. Well ask if austerity has gone as far as it can go, after seven yea rs. Also tonight, the netherlands prepares for parliamentary elections. Is an anticipated far right surge also an Identity Crisis for a supposedly relaxed and liberal country . What are dutch values . We are all equal. That is the good thing about the carnival. Right. What about the rest of the time . It is a bit different. We are not so tolerant any more. And. Hey, yall. I heard somebody Say Something about obamagate. What . Looks like its time for us to investigate mmm hmm. Well hear from President Trumps more unusual internet cheerleaders, diamond and silk. Hello. This is budget week. On wednesday the chancellor Phillip Hammond will take to the dispatch box, and set out his plan for taxes, for borrowing, for spending, for improving british productivity, on preparing for brexit. Its a strange one perhaps the strangest for a while. Brexit offers an excuse for a pause on painful decisions, but at some point, if the chancellor is to match the aims set out by his party, hell have to find a way to get borrowing down. More Public Spending cuts are already written into the governments projections, just as article 50 is about to hit us for good or ill. Now helping out is the fact that the Economic News has been good since late last year. But unfortunately he cant rely on bags of money falling from the sky, and that means this is not an easy time to be chancellor. Sometimes you want a safe pair of hands at number 11, a man who does not try to steal the limelight. Just gets on with the job. This is probably one of those times and in the last few days, he has been out and about, sensibly managing expectations of this weeks budget. If your Bank Increases your credit card limit, i dont think you feel obliged to go out and spend every last penny of it immediately. It depends on your temperament
