A number of foreign nationals have been detained at airports in america. It comes after President Trump signed an Executive Order preventing people seeking Refugee Status in the United States. Well theres been a lot of reaction. These are the protests underway Atjfk Airport in new york, after it emerged 11 refugees were being detained there. Under the Executive Order, citizens from seven muslim majority countries will be denied visas for 90 days. The countries include syria, iraq, iran, libya, somalia, sudan, and yemen. Specifically, the changes mean that the us will not take any refugees, from any country, for the next four months. The un and france have criticised the changes but President Trump says they are need to stop islamic terrorists from entering the country. One congresswoman has been voicing her concerns. Nydia velazquez serves in the house of representatives. She spoke to reporters outsidejfk. My friends, it is a sad day for the american people. This is not who we are. This is an affront to our american values. Here we are, the congressman and i and the advocates and the legal community, representing immigrants in this country and in new york city. This is a matter of life and death. Can you imagine . Two families, to individuals, who were granted legal visas to come in. Two families, two individuals, who were granted legal visas to come in. That means that they were vetted before they left iraq. These are people who worked and provided assistance to the us government. This type of action undermines our National Security and donald trump, our president , doesnt get it. Lets now go to new york where we canjoin Bahman Kalbasi from the bbc persian service. Can you tell us more about why there are such large protests there . Hundreds of thousands of people are going to be affected by this and many of them did not see this coming at all. I have been speaking to people since last night, really, hours after the Executive Order was signed by the president and peoples lives have been upended already. You have a number of people who are in the United States, especially if iranians, but also syrians and others of these seven countries, who are legally residing in the United States under a student visas, work visas, visiting, medical emergencies, all keynes, who have been abiding by the law and family members, who have similar visas, are travelling outside, i spoke to one gentleman who is working in the subway system, in fact, in new york, and his pregnant wife with a three year old are back in iran visiting family and she was about to come back and now she cannot. You cannot visit them yet because if he does he will be denied re entry. They are here legally but because pa rt they are here legally but because part of their family is outside, they cannot be reunited. This is happening across the country in to people that are of the background of these seven countries and they cannot be issued visas to re enter the United States. Add to that the confusion whether people with eating cards, permanent residency, people who have dull place you have their house and their life and their work here, who make the denied entry. Some have, some havent. Some are to was that you saw in that clip, in the Gfp Airport Being detained for hours, before being released. Some still remain in detention. When you add that come you have a sizeable part of the population who is not allowed to travel in and out with certainty that they will be able to come back and the ones that have travelled are barred from coming back. We spoke with one lady who is teaching in the boston, an iranian american, has a ten year old, single mother, goes to germany for a conference, cannot come back to america and her child is in boston. It is a chaotic and shocking situation for many of these people who have been affected by something that they did not see was even legal. Thank you for that. David bier is an Immigration Policy Analyst with the us think tank cato institute. There has been legal challenges mounted already. Some people are saying that this is unconstitutional. What are your thoughts . It is my view that there is definitely illegal. Under current law, the president is banned from taking into consideration nationality when issuing visas or denying entry to legal permanent rent residents are people who are coming here for permanent residency. Under the current law, this would be an illegal action and i suspect that lawsuits will follow shortly. How can this be challenged. I would be through the courts . Will it be using legislation . I think you will have a lawsuit. The courts will decide whether the president has this authority. He claims that he does. In 1965 congress amended the Emigration Laws of the United States to make it clear that the president cannot discriminate on the grounds of nationality and i expect that a lawsuit from failed, courts have reviewed provisions similar less or actions somewhat less of an earlier president s and have found them illegal. So i expect that this action will also be found be illegal and overly broad. President trump says that he is defending america from extremism. Is that a legitimate defence. Is that a legitimate defence . When you look at the numbers, there has been no Terrorist Attack by any organisation or individual from attack by any organisation or individualfrom any attack by any organisation or individual from any of these seven countries that are banned, that has killed anyone in the United States over the last a0 years. So, the idea that this is targeting terrorism is just laughably absurd. They believe these measures will be overturned . Yes, i do. These measures will be overturned . Yes, ido. I these measures will be overturned . Yes, i do. Ithink these measures will be overturned . Yes, i do. I think if the i think of the lawsuit is filed and when surely will be, you will see that the president will be denied the ability to carry out these actions. An Immigration Policy Analyst. Thank you for being with us. David willis joins us from washington. As remarkable for donald trump. What is the fallout from this . How are officials coping with the changes to these Immigration Laws . Well, follett is being felt already out already. Some turned back on arrival. We have had about a dozen people, among them to iraqis, who we re people, among them to iraqis, who were blocked from coming into the country, detained by border and custom agents fear and instances around the nation, possibly this could affect many thousands of people attempting to come here, meanwhile, the white house pushing back or attempting to push back at some of the criticism, making the point that this is not a muslim ban. A senior official told media that this is basically a situation where a relatively small number of people are involved. He says that the us still has more foreigners, takes in more foreigners, than any other country. These green card holders from the seven nations on that last well have to go through a case by case Waiver Interview in order to return to the United States. It is clear that those who we re states. It is clear that those who were out of the country when it donald trump announced this move last night will not be coming back here for 90 days at least. What has the reaction been from fellow republicans where you are . Well, you a lot of them are publicly, at least, in favour of these measures. The House Speaker paul ryan uploaded this move, saying it was time that these sort of restrictions, these loopholes, were taken to. There are those who are expressing disquiet privately and meanwhile we have had a lot of reaction, as you might imagine, from democrats. The Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer said that this, there would be tears running down the cheeks of the statue of liberty, one of the foundations of america. Its welcoming approach to emigrants has basically been left in the dust. Thank you very much. The french president told President Trump to respect the principle of accepting refugees. Theresa may said that it was up to america to decide an immigration s policy. Alex forsyth reports. Protection of the nation from Foreign Terrorists entry into the United States. With a flourish of his pen, another sweeping change, a halt on visas for people from seven mainly muslim countries, heavy restrictions for refugees wanting to enter the us, to stop, says President Trump, another 9 11. Im establishing new Vetting Measures to keep radical islamic terrorists out of the United States of america. We dont want em here. With that announcement, confusion. 0n social media, reports of people being stopped at airports. One said an iraqi friend who fled isis was turned back. In doha, claims that iranians with Immigrant Visas were being returned to iran. In qatar, the father of a former la times employee in iraq reportedly turned back by us officials, what it means for some still unclear. But for the Syrian Refugees who fled war, theres no question. They are now indefinitely banned from entering the us, and all other refugees are suspended forfour months. Like naveen, which is not her real name, a transgender woman who fled iraq, persecuted for her sexuality, now living in lebanon. She was accepted for resettlement in america. That now, it seems, is on hold. Translation the moment i heard the news, my dreams were shattered. My parents want to kill me. Im terrified theyll find out where i am now. I hoped id feel safe in the us, that id finally be able to sleep in a country where i have rights, and no one could hurt me. This order will not just affect Tens Of Thousands of refugees, but many across the middle east who regularly travel to the us on visas. Google has recalled its staff, saying its worried about the impact it may have. For some, rather than improve security, this will only leave muslim communities more isolated.

The british Prime Minister theresa may and turkish president erdogan, have signed a 125 million Defence Agreement during talks in ankara. The deal to develop turkeys Fighter Aircraft could lead to multi billion Dollar Contracts as britain prepares to leave the european union. Mrs may pledged support in the face of a coup attempt injuly, but emphasised turkeys duty to uphold human rights. Laura kuenssberg reports from ankara. A morning at the palace. The president ial palace. Meeting a president used to doing, perhaps, whatever it takes to get his way. Popular, feared too, after a coup that failed against him. But she wants closer ties on trade and defence, but also to make british concerns about his behaviour clear. I am proud that the uk stood with you on the 15th ofjuly last year in defence of your democracy. Now it is important that turkey sustains that democracy by maintaining the rule of law and upholding its International Human rights obligations, as the government has undertaken to do. No mention of that for him. Translation it gives us great pleasure and it is a privilege to host Prime Minister theresa may here in turkey. We have had a meeting and a Working Lunch and the discussions, i hope, will yield success for both of our countries. Just as theresa may was the first leader to enter the trump white house, she was today the First Western leader to come to ankara since the attempted coup against president erdogan. She showed that she was unafraid to speak her mind. Having delivered the message on human rights, the ceremonials could begin. The Prime Minister able to enjoy the parade and appeared alongside her counterpart, to announce a deal where british firm bae will design turkish fighterjets, the start of a partnership that Downing Street hopes could bring in billions. But questions about her other new friend, President Trump, followed her to turkey, after the american leader banned some muslims from entering the country. Asked three times whether she agreed with President Trumps ban, this was all that she would say. The United States is responsible for the United Statess policy on refugees, the United Kingdom is responsible for the United Kingdoms policy on refugees. While marking the past, theresa may is following her own path around the world. She cannot choose her fellow leaders, yet politicians, like the rest of us, are sometimesjudged by the company they keep. Now, sport.

Thats three home defeats on the trot for liverpool and their managerjurgen klopp. You can imagine we think a lot before a game. It caused problems for as again.

I could look for excuses, one or two things, but i dont want to. We should use this time to be disappointed, to be frustrated, to be angry about ourselves, to be better next time. That is obviously the target. Heres a quick rundown of some of todays other cup matches. And in the all Premier League tie at st marys, Arsenal Ran Riot over southampton, 5 nil the final score.

Typical and in the naked civil servant. I wear rouge, i wear mascara on my eyelashes, i dye my hair, i wear flamboyant clothes, far more outre than those i am wearing now. He was an unusual actor, instantly recognisable, yet never typecast. Here, he played the notorious and flamboyant quentin crisp. People said it was a brave part to take on. Many people said, dont do that, youll never work again, and so on. And i said, but its not about homosexuality actually, its about the tenderness of the individual, as opposed to the cruelty of the crowd, really. His breakthrough had come in A Man For All Seasons in 1966, a small part in an oscar winning film. What will you do with it . Sell it. And buy what . A decent gown. He earned an oscar nomination himself for Midnight Express, in which he played a Heroin Addict in a turkish prison. Im very pleased to meet you, mr merrick.
