story. president trump now in office for a week shaking up washington with executive order temporarily halting immigration and taking aim at muslim immigrants in particular. this as he sets to speak with vladimir putin today. nbc's kaci hunt is live at the white house. good morning. >> reporter: sheinelle, good morning. new backlash after president trump signed that executive order banning immigrants with the focus on certain countries. he calls it extreme vetting. some say it is amounting to a ban on fallout this morning from president trump's move to make good on a campaign promise. >> new vetting measures to keep radical islamic terrorists out of the united states of america. >> reporter: at the pentagon yesterday, trump signing an executive order to ban immigrants from the muslim countries. for the next 90 days. the order stops short of an all-out ban of muslims. >> donald trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. >> reporter: but it sparked outrage. the aclu calling the order quote a euphemism for discriminating against muslims. the dean at princeton said quote to defer united states. trump signed the order after the meeting with british prime minister theresa may. the two trying to focus on what they have in common instead of differences like whether russia should continue to face sanctions. >> we will see what happens. it is early to talk about. that. >> reporter: trump expected to speak by phone with russian president vladimir putin. accused by u.s. intelligence of conducting a hacking campaign to help trump win the election. >> as far as putin and russia, i don't say good, bad or indent. i hope we have a fantastic relationship. it is possible. >> reporter: he is also expected to speak with angela merkel. now trying to build ties across the world as commander in chief. if not with the press, but here at the home. >> i think the media is the opposition party in many ways. the opposition party isos party's side. >> reporter: trump is scheduled to speak today to the leaders of japan and france. we are also told he will sign more executive orders. not clear what those orders will focus on. more in store as the new president starts his second week in office. sheinelle. >> kacie hunt, thank you. >> let's bring in ari melber and elise jordan. >> good morning. >> trump signs this executive order on friday. 85,000 syrian refugees who came here on the program last year ending that. in addition to that, seven muslim countries for the next 90 days. no immigrants from the countries. first of all, ari, is this legal? is this something that could be challenged in court? is there any evidence that these refugees from syria pose a risk? >> no, in fact, this order focuses on countries that have not been the attackers or subsequent terror attacks. that makes everyone wonder where they got the list of countries. it will be challenged in court. monday will be the first challenge. >> all right? >> yes. they have 20 individual plaintiffs who are going to argue it. is it likely to be upheld? probably. we can say there is great executive authority in the area of immigration. is it written as religious ban the way trump campaigned on? no. it doesn't touch on the large muslim countries in the world or saudi arabia who sent hijackers over here. it takes a list of countries flagged under other programs as dangerous and says we will suspend immigration from them. >> elise, how does this play? >> in is controversial when over the summer, trump raised the stations and he wanted to have a muslim ban. you have leaders like paul ryan saying this is against america and what america sta continue over this over making this about religion. and less about and it is unclear how it will improve national security. ari pointed out no refugee or immigrant from any of the countries affected under the ban have committed an act of terrorism in the u.s. since 1975. >> let's talk about the fact that president trump will talk to russian president vladimir putin today. he said friday it is too early to lift the sanctions put in place because of meddling in the u.s. elections. they me this, will the president face political backlash at home from congress if he lifts sanctions? >> this is another issue where if trump decides to lift the sanctions without having any results or without having russia making any progress toward the sanctions that were put in place because of the territorial this is trump doing nothing. this is theresa may's sticking point when she met with trump. she want to ss to say we will n lift anything. >> we heard from kacie hunt at the white house. president trump is considering more executive order. with the immigration, that was the 14th executive order in seven days. tpp, obamacare, the wall, now immigration. one of the complaints against president obama was he was a guy that liked to legislate using the pen and work around congress. how is that different this time? >> not different. >> and republicans who are upset when obama did that should be upset right now. there is no consistency. >> i missed it. >> you could get whiplash on that. i will say what we have seen from donald trump is a mix. executive orders that do a lot. reverse mexico cit on abortion is one example. this is real and suspends the immigration. we have seen others that have symbolic. he likes gathering reporters in to sign things. the obama executive order is doing nothing. in the sense it just says i don't like obamacare. you notice today after the executive order today, obamacare still exists. he is working on laws. he cannot change by signature. >> steve bannon was talking to "the new york times." he is calling the media the opposition party and we should quote shut up and listen. there is so much talk and the fact that this is a campaign to sow doubts with anything the media says. are we the new media? >> whether you are a journalist or american citizen, you root for the president. you want the economy and america to be strong. what steve risk their lives who do reporting are an enemy of the state or political opponent of the government. >> anytime you hear something you don't agree with, you say it is fake news. >> that may be part of the motivation. i want to be clear. it is false. it will not change how i do my job. i will not be harder or softer on the administration because of it. it is obviously concerning when you have members of the government who have all of the powers of the government saying that a free plearess is the political opposition. that is not now we see ourselves. that is not the work we do. when you look at the history of the country. it is not a great sign when you have government officials saying. that mr. bannon may have political reasons. he may want to discredit the work out there for whatever reason. he may like a good fight. they decide it may be in the political interest to have fights with tv hosts than chuck schumer. it is keep free government out of the press. >> the trump administration is taking a stand in the fight against abortion. vice president mike pence made headlines friday as the first ever sitting vice president to attend the march for life event in washington. nbc's kristen dahlgren was there. >> reporter: on the national mall, one of the issues that divides the nation taking center stage. >> i am pro-life. >> reporter: the anti-abortion movement finding new life in the new administration. >> this is a new day. a new dawn for life. >> reporter: promises from one of the president's top advisors and for the first time ever at the march for life. a vice president. >> we will not rest until we restore a culture of life in america. >> reporter: for those marching since the roe v. wade many in the crowd were newer. kristen hawkins organized student marchers. >> this is the first generation of young people that reject abortion. >> reporter: americans are deeply divided on abortion. 59% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. 37% oppose it. but in his first week, president trump signed executive order that bans foreign aid to groups that discuss or give counselling for abortion. for many here, a sign their days of protest may soon give way to celebration. >> we hope this is the last martch we will have to make. >> reporter: kristen dahlgren, nbc news, washington. let's look at the head license pla lines this morning. serious allegations

where they disagree completely. you're looking at even some winter storm warnings or lake-effect snow warnings as we go through the weekend. look at these bullseyes here. one or two feet of snow in these areas. winds could be gusting 40 miles per hour in the region. we already know some cold air is moving in through the region. we already know the lakes are kind of warm. it's just so mild some bullseye in some area. but a few feet away, an inch of snow. here's a look at your local weather. >> temperatures out there right now in the 30s. low to mid-30s across the area. 34 here in washington. a bit of a chilly start. we had a few flurries out there this morning. those have dried out. we'll see the wind pick up throughout the day. maybe a bit of flurry activity again. if you're headed out skiing, it is going to be beautiful out in western maryland. even west virginia. 45 degrees. mix of sun and clouds. grab the winter jacket, the scarf, the sunglasses. you're going to need it for today. windchills in the 30s. actually nice to have a weekend without crazy weather everywhere. it will get colder. i'll talk about that in a bit. thank you. up next, the dog who is a mailman's best

families. and the bag of hi, everyone. it's 7:26 on this saturday, january 28th. i'm angie goff. we want to get a check on some of the top headlines this saturday. you're going to want to pay attention to a new traffic interchange if you drive through the haymarket area. a diverging diamond will open today near i-66. that means cars will shift to the opposite side of the roadway. a driver and passenger killed in a crash overnight in maryland. the sheriff's office says the car crashed on poplar road. the cause is still under investigation. and we're going to get a fios is not cable. we're wired differently. which means we can deliver internet speeds differently. welcome to 8 and a half maple street. it's half a house. and even though it only has half the headroom, half a hallway, it's a full house to the wilsons. because they have fios, the only 100% fiber optic network with uploads as fast as downloads, their half house has full internet. cable only offers upload speeds that are a fraction of their downloads. now you might think it's a little odd that the wilsons have a half house, but they think it's a little odd to pay for uploads that aren't up to speed. get 150 meg internet with equal uploads and downloads, tv and phone for only $79.99 per month online for one year. cable can't offer speeds this fast at a price this good. only fios can. we're starting off with another windy one, lauryn ricketts. >> i know. picking up after 9:00 a.m. we are looking at maybe a few flurries trying to get through the region, but for the most part it's going to be all right today. feel like temperature is going to be in the 30s for much of the day. unfortunately current temperatures out there right now stuck in the 30s. we'll top out in the 40s for daytime highs today. but again, winds are going to increase. they're going to come but not until after about 5:00, 6:00 tonight. so you're going to be dealing with that but also dealing with a little bit of sunshine. really not looking that bad. if you're going to pick up some of the wreaths at arlington national cemetery, know at least we don't have sleet. but we have temperatures in the 30s this morning. again, those winds picking up after about 9:00 a.m. and continuing until about 5:00 p.m. the snow showers possible tomorrow into monday. so that looks like the best chance of snat ten-day forecast. >>
