Its 9am in singapore, 1am in the morning in london and 8pm in washington, where President Trump has become embroiled in a bitter battle with the american legal system. A federal Appeals Court on sunday refused to reinstate his controversial travel ban, on people from seven mainly muslim countries, entering the united states. It was a judge in seattle whod originally put a temporary stop to the policy, and the president has accused him of putting the country in peril. Our north america correspondent nick bryant has more. The rush to reach America Arrivals from mainly muslim countries making it through immigration after an Appeals Court rejected a move by the Trump Administration to reimpose its travel ban. So, impromptu celebrations at us airports, and relief for those looking to head across the atlantic. Tonight, Atjfk Airport in new york, this family from iraq finally made it into the country. Theyd spent two years obtaining us visas, and had packed up their lives in iraq. The embassy contacted me and they said, we are sorry, you are able to travel. It was a red carpet welcome for the president at a gala last night, the colour he clearly saw when the so called judge, as he put it, blocked his executive order. His administration is doubling down. We face a dangerous enemy, inspiring people to come into this country and frankly inspiring people who are already in this country. And the president is determined to use the authority he has under the constitution and under the law. Is it right for the president to say so called judge . The American People are very accustomed to this president speaking his mind. Chant say it loud, say it clear refugees are welcome here. They are also getting accustomed to demonstrators speaking theirs. And this weekend has seen a continuation of the protests between those who view the travel ban as an attack on american values, and supporters of donald trump, who see it as defending the american homeland. Polls suggest a nation deeply divided. Its over a week since donald trump signed his executive order. He says hes allowed to bar certain foreigners In The Name Of national security. But on friday, a Federal Court overturned the ban, thejudge saying it was unconstitutional. Late last night, came the president s first attempt to get the ban restored, he argued his president ial authority was being undermined. But that appeal was rejected earlier today. A fuller appeal is due later this week. America right now is receiving something of a constitutional civics lesson in how the countrys Founding Fathers designed a system of checks and balances to make sure that no one person wielded too much power. In his latest interview, the american president seemed to show more respect for Vladimir Putin than americasjudges. Reporter do you respect putin . I do respect him. Do you . why . Well, i respect a lot of people, but that doesnt mean im going to get along with them. Putin is a killer. There are a lot of killers. Weve got a lot of killers. What, you think our country is so innocent . That is a jaw dropping statement from an occupant of the white house, that flies in the face of the doctrine of american exceptionalism. You saw a bit of the interview mr trump gave to fox news. He went on to defend the way his Travel Restrictions were implemented. I think it was very smooth. He had 109 people out of Hundreds Of Thousands of travellers and all we did was vet those people very, very carefully. You would not do anything differently if you had to do it over again . Look in life you. Some of your people did not really know what the order was. That is not what General Kelly said. General kelly, who is now secretary kelly, he said he totally knew, he was aware of it and it was very smooth. It was 109 people. Earlier mr trump sent this tweet lets get more from nick bryant. Were not facing a constitutional crisis in america at the moment because the court order is being obeyed by the Trump Admnistration and people are coming into the country again. But there are Many Democrats who believe that donald trump is trying to precipitate a constitutional crisis through these attacks on the courts, through the lack of respect he is showing at the moment for the us constitution. Now, legal battles like this tend to end up in the Supreme Court and thats how the constitution should work. And american president s do have constitutional constraints imposed upon them. And many of his predecessors have been very frustrated by those constraints. But what they havent done is what he is doing now, which is to lash out against the judges and to undermine, in that process, the system which they are trying to uphold.

On sunday, a normal working day in afghanistan, the government declared a Public Holiday to ensure schools were closed. The death toll has been steadily rising over the past few days and officials are warning of more over avalanches to come, as the snow storms continue. Catharina moh, bbc news. Southern indias biggest state, tamil nadu, is to have another female Chief Minister two months after the death of the Film Star Turned politician jayalalithaa. Shes sasikala nata rajan, who was described as jayalalithas confidante. With me is the bbc World Services south asia editor, anbarasan ethirajan. Good to see you. What do we know about this woman . She was a very good friend of jayalalitha, about this woman . She was a very good friend ofjayalalitha, who about this woman . She was a very good friend of jayalalitha, who died a couple of months ago, her beginning is very interesting, she comes from a rural area and was the wife of a government servant. She used to run a Cassette Rental Shop in the Southern Indian City Of Chennai and it wasnt far from why Couege Chennai and it wasnt far from why College University and we used to walk by the shop on a day to day basis. We never imagined one day the owner of this shop would become the Chief Minister of tamil nadu stake. She came into contact with jayalalitha because she was renting these Cassettes Jayalalitha was watching, that is how they came into contact with each other. That Customer Owner relationship became a friendship, she moved into the house with jayalalitha and they lived in the same house for more than 30 yea rs. The same house for more than 30 years. For nearly three decades she was following jayalalitha at every step. This party is the Biggest Political Party in tamil nadu, they also have a Strong Influence in federal politics. Shes been watching jayalalitha for nearly 30 yea rs, every watching jayalalitha for nearly 30 years, every move, her political lies and corruption cases, when she was jailed, shes been with jayalalitha for a long time. But there are other issues, controversial issues like both are accused of corruption, a lower court jailed them forfour accused of corruption, a lower court jailed them for four years for corruption but later they were acquitted and the final verdict is pending in the Supreme Court. Not only her, but the whole family are accused of wielding excessive influence over running the government, this was the acquisition by the main opposition parties. But herfamily always by the main opposition parties. But her family always defended her saying they were giving support and protection to jayalalitha, who was a strong leader in her own right. An incredible story to know her prominence and where shes come from. When you saw her at University Walking past her shop. How is this appointment being received, a surprise to many . People were expecting this because they moved quickly after the death of jayalalitha to take control of the party. There have been a number of reports in the newspapers that she will become Chief Minister. Its not a surprise to people but how it is received remains the question because many of the Party Members have expressed their opposition to her being the leader to replace jayalalitha, because she was a towering personality. Shes very popular among the role party supporters. Many of the mps support her. Her politicalfuture supporters. Many of the mps support her. Her political future will depend on whether she can control the party, she has to face the electorate and contest an election within six months to become a member of the assembly. If you can win the election and get hold of the party then she will be recognised as the leader but for the time being there is Political Uncertainty as to how she will manage and how the family behind the scenes will control the political scenario. Tamil nadu being the second biggest economy in india, so the second biggest economy in india, so lots to be in charge of. The success so lots to be in charge of. The success of tamil nadu was due to the political stability over the last reel for decades. The second biggest economy, one of the prosperous states and better governed states and you have the neighbourhood dimension, like what is happening in sri lanka with the tamil issue and there was the concern about whether it is economic or linguistic issues, tamil nadu played a crucial role in the last 30 or a0 years. Minister of the last 30 or a0 years. Minister of the state is not an easyjob. The last 30 or a0 years. Minister of the state is not an easy job.

Just an update on the super bowl, half time at the moment. Lady gaga has taken to the stage but i can tell you the atlanta balkans are ahead of the patriots. We will keep you up to date over the next few minutes Atlanta Falcons. Frances nationalist leader, Marine Le Pen, has laid out her vision for the country if she wins the upcoming president ial election. Shes promising to renegotiate membership of the european union, and pledged to help communities under threat from globalisation, as well as tackle islamic fundamentalism. France goes to the polls in april in one of the most open contests of recent times. Lucy williamson reports from lyon. She hugs kittens, shares memories of pregnancy, and has dropped her controversial surname from the party brand. This is marine, a new, softer image for frances hard line nationalist in chief. But the message is broadly the same. Translation our leaders have chosen unregulated globalisation. It was supposed to be a wonderful thing, but it turned out to be horrible. Always in search of maximum profit, with Mass Immigration and financial capitalism. Her election promises, to pull france out of the euro, cut immigration, and give french people priority in housing and jobs, have won her enough support, polls say, to win the first round of the president ial contest. But, without political allies, her problem will be winning the second, and this time she is not the only alternative party on offer. France is suddenly facing the prospect of a president ial run off without either of its main, established parties. With the leaders of both left and right trailing in the polls, voters could end up choosing between two political outsiders, one fiercely nationalist, the other with a liberal, pro europe vision for france. Emmanuel macron drew twice as many people to his own election rally in lyon this weekend. Not bad for a man waging his first ever election campaign. If Marine Le Pen is targeting the losers of globalisation, mr macron is pushing its benefits hard. Only to be expected from a former banker, perhaps. Translation some today pretend to be speaking In The Name Of the people, but they are just ventriloquists. They attribute to the french values that are not really theirs. That is a dig at the front national, whose slogan says it is running In The Name Of the people. But, in this election, there are many candidates from many different parties who are claiming to do just the same. Singaporean Violinist Lee Chin Siow first took the stage at new yorks prestigious Carnegie Hall 26 years ago. Back then she played western classics such as beethoven. On wednesday, she will return to the famous venue, but this time shell focus on Singaporean Music. Well hear from her about the performance and what it means to her injust a minute, but first lets hear her playing. This is chinese rhapsody by singaporean composer kam kee yong which she will perform at carnegie this week. Earlier i spoke to lee chin siow. I asked how she feels about returning to Carnegie Hall 26 years after her first performance. It is very exhilarating to be performing at Carnegie Hall. I am so excited to be here, to play with, to collaborate with, my fellow musicians. It is incredible platform for any musicians. This incredible piece of music you are playing is called chinese Rhapsody That is what we heard earlier. Tell us a little bit about it, and how unusual is that, that it was composed by a singaporean composer . Well, i have been delving into the music of my roots more and more, and the idea of this concert was to present masterpieces of the west alongside contemporary composition. So this time i am premiering two works, one by kam kee yong, a singaporean composer, and another by yao chen, a chinese composer, who wrote a solo violin piece for me. When i first heard kam kee yongs music, i was immediately drawn to it. It has beautiful impressionistic colours, and it celebrates, you know, characteristics of resilience, perseverance, joy. And i thought the timing was perfect to bring this to Carnegie Hall. What better way to usher in the new year than to bring the music of a singaporean composer . And indeed, it is the chinese new year, as you say, the lunar new year, that we are celebrating here in asia. What is also interesting is you are there in new york at a very politically charged time for the united states. So is this really a chance, do you think, to try to bring people together with your music . I certainly hope so. You know, when i paired the music from the western classics to the eastern music, it is basically i wanted to. The soundscape might sound really different on the surface, but actually there are a lot of commonalities and similarities, than we realise. And i hope, through these performances, that the audience will come to realise that the universal themes, of love, hope and joy, it is universal. Stay with us.

Thanks for joining us. Goodbye. Hello there. It has been a bit of a mixed weekend, weatherwise. Temperatures have been slowly dipping down by a few degrees. This is how we ended the day in studland, dorset. You can see the sunset over Poole Harbour there, a very serene scene. By Monday Morning, many of us are likely to see some frost and some fog, so a bit of a wintry flavour to the weather to start off your new working week. So lets look at first thing Monday Morning. Temperatures, even in our towns and cities, only a degree or so either side of freezing. It could be quite a bit colder than that in the countryside first thing. So a sharp frost, and then later in the day we see low pressure approaching from the atlantic, bringing rain to the western part of the uk on that Weather Front. But to start things off, then, Monday Morning at 8 00am, cold and clear across much of wales, southern and central england. The odd pocket of fog around, particularly across parts of eastern england, and certainly some frost here. Cloudier skies towards the far west of england, Western Parts of england, and Northern Ireland, as well, but chilly for much of Northern Ireland, Northern England and scotland. We have some frost first thing in the morning, and some mist and some fog patches to watch out for as well. So take care on the roads, because we have got that frost, and also the fog around. Through the course of the day we will see that front moving into western areas, so the winds picking up for Northern Ireland, wales, the South West Of England, as well, with the arrival of some rain. Central and eastern parts of the country remaining dry, certainly with less windy and cold air, as well, with temperatures around five in the east, ten further west. Moving through monday evening and overnight, that rain will increasingly turn to snow over the high ground, as it makes its way eastwards across Northern England, and scotland as well. Further south it will be falling as rain. And once that rain clears through, early on tuesday, we are looking at, again, some fogginess first thing in the morning. So this is how tuesday looks. We have got this Weather Front which is sitting across eastern parts of the uk, bumping into high pressure, which is situated across scandinavia, and that means the Weather Front wont be going anywhere in a hurry. It remains fairly cloudy towards the east. A few spots of rain and a slice of sunshine for the likes of scotland, Northern Ireland and wales, but then further rain working into the south west late in the day, and temperatures a touch milder than recent days, between around about 6 10 degrees. Then, heading through into wednesday, a quieter day here. We have that front in the eastjust fading away, so still quite cloudy towards the east, but it should be dry. Some brighter skies predicted for parts of wales, the South West Of England as well, and temperatures generally between about a 9 degrees on wednesday. And then, towards the end of the week the milder air is pushed away, and what we are going to see is colder conditions coming in from the east. Bye for now. Im Sharanjit Leyl with bbc world news. The headlines donald trump says hes told Homeland Security to check people coming into the us very carefully.
