the man got his visa to come to america to come to to america on the very day donald trump was inaugurated. he worked for a decade as an interpreterfor the us military in iraq and was awarded a special immigration visa for those who had served. his release followed lobbying by human rights groups and a member of congress. donald trump, our president, does not get it. this is wrong and we are going to fight it. right here on the streets, we're going to fight it in court and we're going to fight it in every place and in every corner of america. this is not who we are! the united states... it's just a day since donald trump ended his first frenetic week by fulfilling his promise to impose tough new immigration rules aimed at predominately muslim countries. rules he says will keep america safe from terrorism. i'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical islamic terrorists out of the

united states of america. we don't want them here. people from libya, sudan, libya, somalia, yemen, syria, iraq and iran, cannot enter the us for 90 days, even if they have a valid visa. all refugees will be kept out for 120 days, with the annual limit of around 100,000 halved in future. syrian refugees will be barred indefinitely. this iraqi born software engineer has been advised to stay put. i had in fact trips planned for yesterday and next week, i was going to go to africa for business and i had to suspend all my travel and basically just sit still and that's how i ended up in boston. i wasn't planning to be in boston but i am now here. waiting to see what's going to happen without really a plan for where to go next. it's also emerged that people with a green card could also be

banned from those seven named countries, despite the fact that the card gives you rights to employment and residence in the us. it's a move that could split families. there was one case where a wife was travelling back to iran to visit her sick father, leaving behind her husband and two—month—old son. and now she is stuck in iran and cannot get back to see her family. again, went through the appropriate legal channels, is a permanent legal resident and card holder and can't come back to see her family. donald trump's immigration policy has brought condemnation from human rights groups and political opponents but his tough rhetoric was one of the most important factors in his election victory and he seems determined to follow through with it. gary 0'donoghue, bbc news, washington. we we heard in that piece from two iraqis who were detained atjfk airport earlier today trying to enter the united states with visas. although one has now been released and allowed to enter the country

clients, but also legal permanent resident green card holders. a bit ofa resident green card holders. a bit of a breakup on your line but we'll persist for now. what is the scale of the legal action you're entering into and what is it based upon and how many people are we talking about here? we're seeing a nationwide class action, that means every single person throughout the country who will be subject of these policies will be part of our class action lawsuit. can you break it down for me in lehmans terms? we see a president signing an executive order, surely that holds a lot of water. you're saying it's unconstitutional, explain that to a layman has yellowed the president can't violate either the constitution or the law is written by congress and here he is doing both ——? by congress and here he is doing both --? . he is exceeding his power because he's depriving the individuals of true process by not

giving them proper hearings but he's also unconstitutionally discriminating against these individuals. these are things that no president can do, the president's bound by laws. he can't legislate bypassing executive orders that violate these well—established laws. how long would something like this go along in the courts for, could this be tied up for months and months and years? it could be but currently as we speak a new york district courtjudge is hearing the first wave of these arguments asking foran first wave of these arguments asking for an emergency stay of the executive order. nicholas, thank you for all of that. the british prime minister theresa may and the turkish president have signed a $125 million defence agreement during their talks in ankara. the deal to develop turkey's fighter aircraft could lead to multi—billion dollar contracts. this is at a time when britain
