in the last hour, a federaljudge in brooklyn, new york has issued an emergency stay that temporarily blocks the us government from sending people away after they have landed at an airport with valid visas. these are the latest pictures outside the federal courthouse in brooklyn. it's in response to president trump's executive order bringing in tough new measures to restrict entry to refugees and immigrants into the country. there have also been protests taking place across the country. the american civil liberties union estimates the stay will affect 100 to 200 people detained or in transit, but government lawyers could not confirm that number. let's hear what the aclu had to say outside of court when the judgement came through.

thejudge in a nutshell saw through what the government was doing and gave us what we wanted, which was to block the trump order... block the trump order and not let the government remove anybody who has come and is caught up in the order nationwide. they can't remove anybody. plus, she said they need to give us a list of names for those being detained, because as you all know we have not been able to track everybody down, despite diligent efforts. the government must now give us a name. we will see people, provide counsel, try to get them out of detention. but at minimum they will not be returned back to danger. the court will hear this case sometime at the end of february, but the key was making sure no one was put back on a plane. some people are being threatened to be put back on a plane as of 9:30pm tonight. hopefully that will be blocked. she told the government to get

the word out to people at the airports, don't put people on planes. so if you hear of that you need to let us know immediately because that will be in defiance of the court order. this is a remarkable day! on day one after signing the executive order we jumped into court, arguing that the move was unconstitutional, unamerican and it flew in the face of established statutes that we have long regarded in this country. our attorneys convinced the judge to hold all of these movements, all of these efforts, to protect individuals who have lawfully come into this country, individuals with green cards and visas, so this was a remarkable day. what we've shown is that the courts can work. they are a bullmark in our democracy. the courts are there to defend everybody's rights. we want to thank you very much.

protests are continuing at several major airports in the united states. this is the scene live in chicago. a number of foreign nationals have already been detained at airports across the country. there've also been protests atjfk airport in new york, after it emerged 11 refugees were being detained there. under mr trump's executive order, refugees from countries like syria are banned untilfurther notice and citizens from a total of seven muslim—majority countries will be denied visas for 90 days. our correspondent in washington gary o'donoghue reports. released after a night in detention, hameethalid darweesh is one of the first to feel the bite at donald trump's crackdown on immigration. america is the greatest nation, the greatest people in the world. mr darweesh 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 resident and green 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. 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, at a time when britain prepares to leave the european union. laura kuenssberg reports from ankara. a morning at the palace —

the presidential 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'm 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's a privilege to host prime minister theresa may here in turkey. we have had a meeting, 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 has today become the first western leader to come to president erdogan‘s golden palace in ankara, high up on the hill, since the attempted coup against him. urging importance of human rights, though, she has showed she was unafraid to speak her mind. having delivered her message on human rights, the ceremonials could begin. the prime minister able to enjoy the parade. speaks turkish and appear alongside her counterpart to announce a deal where her british firm bae will design turkish fighterjets. the start of a partnership that downing street hopes could bring in millions. 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 trump's ban, this is all she would say. the united states is responsible

for the united states‘ policy on refugees and the united kingdom is responsible for the united kingdom's policy on refugees. while marking the past, theresa may is following her own path around the world. she can't choose her fellow leaders but politicians, like the rest of us, are sometimes judged by the company they keep. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, ankara. downing street has now issued a statement saying prime minister theresa may did "not agree" with donald trump's refugee ban and will make representations if it affects britons. in other news: the syrian military says after weeks of fighting with rebels it has taken control of an area home to damascus‘s main water source. state television said the national flag was now flying over the pumping facility in the wadi—barada region. water shortages have been severe in damascus after fighting caused damage to the pumping facility. syrian football fans in aleppo have enjoyed the first top—flight match

in the city after years of war. they watched local side al ittihad beat their city rivals. there was no professional football in aleppo after it was split between the army and rebel forces in 2011. the government regained complete control of the city last month after a major offensive. more than 2,000 people have protested in the russian city of saint petersburg against a plan to hand the famous saint isaac's cathedral to the orthodox church. the 19th century cathedral, one of the most visited tourist attractions in the city, is currently run as a museum. analysts say the proposal is a sign of the growing power of the russian orthodox church. wildfires in chile are now known to have killed several people and left many others homes. firefighters and volunteers are tackling more than 100 separate fires half of which are still out of control. the authorities have detained more than 20 people suspected of arson.

the bbc‘s tim allman reports. in some places the fires are now gone. but this is what's left. the town of santa 0lga, all but destroyed. hundreds of homes burned to the ground. for the people who lived here the awful task of coming home and inspecting the damage. everything gone. you can see that for some that it's almost too much to bear. lives have been lost but there have been some extraordinary stories of survival. silvana garcia and her daughters were trapped as the fires closed in. they threw themselves into a ditch covered with a few sheets of corrugated metal. "i thought we were going to burn," she said, "but i though this hole with the water and metal above us would save us." "the flames passed above us and burned everything , "

said her daughter, "i didn't know what to do." thousands are now homeless, many find themselves in local shelters desperate but alive. "we never imagined this was going to happen in our country," said this woman. once again we're struggling, trying to lift ourselves up. it's notjust people who been affected, animals too. this shelter tending to injured dogs, their paws burnt. the cleanup operation has begun, the army doing what it can to help, so are local volunteers, beginning the massive task of clearing up the mess, waiting to rebuild. but in many places the fires still rage, dozens out of control. the hot, dry weather is forecast to continue. chile's worst wildfires in half a century are not over yet. tim allman, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news.

still to come: we'll bring you the reaction to president trump's immigration ban from the un, parts of europe and canada. the shuttle challenger exploded soon after liftoff. there were seven astronauts on board, one of them a woman school teacher. all of them are believed to have been killed. by the evening, tahrir square, the heart of official cairo, was in the hands of the demonstrators. they were using the word "revolution". the earthquake singled out buildings, and brought them down in seconds. tonight, the search for any survivors has an increasing desperation about it as the hours pass. the new government is firmly in control of the entire republic of uganda. moscow got its first taste

of western fast food, as mcdonald's opened their biggest restaurant, in pushkin square. but the hundreds of muscovites who queued up today won't find it cheap, with a big mac costing half the day's wages for the average russian. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: protests in the united states — and a legal challenge — as donald trump signs an executive order banning migrants and refugees from several muslim countries. and a federaljudge issues an emergency stay order that temporarily blocks the government from deporting people who land with valid visas. the white house has described an hour—long phone call between donald trump and president putin as a significant first step towards improving relations between the us and russia. mr trump has also signed a presidential memorandum on the plan to defeat the so—called islamic state. as gary 0' donoghue explains, it includes the possibility of teaming up with new coalition partners,

— suggesting that cooperating with russia on counter—terrorism — isn't off the table. very interesting. we were expecting this but effectively what he has done is ask the defence department and other parts of the national security establishment here, which he is slightly rearranging, but he has asked them to come up with a plan within 30 days for the defeat of isis. it goes through various things he wants to look at. cyber techniques etc, possible military action. it also talks about reaching out to new coalition partners. that will be read by many people as an indication that he is prepared, for example inside syria, to cooperate with russia on hitting isis. it also comes on the day in which he spoke to president putin for the first time since becoming president. we were told it was an hour—long phone call and that it was positive. and this idea of looking atjoint ways of defeating the islamic state group came up in that call as well.

there is some choreography here. donald trump does look like he is potentially thinking of trying to use vladimir putin as an ally in the fight against isis. the reaction to president trump's new immigration bans from european and middle eastern governments has been almost entirely negative. the iranian government has decided to stop issuing new visas to americans in retaliation. however, leaders and parties on the far—right have given it — their support. bill hayton reports. an annual rally of the golden dawn party in athens. around 800 greek nationalists gathered to denounce turkey, the european union, and migrants. they liked the sound of president trump's new immigration controls.

our country is an open field. anyone can come whenever they want and leave whenever they want. we would like to follow a policy like donald trump is doing in the states right now. the leader of the dutch party for freedom, geert wilders, also gave his support and called for it to go further. in the corridors of power, the reaction was opposite. speaking after their meeting in paris, the french and german foreign ministers spoke out strongly against the move. translation: loving your neighbour is a major christian value and that includes helping people. i think that's what unites us in the west and i think it's still a common foundation we share with the united states and we want to make that clear. the intergovernmental organisation set up after the second world war to help migrants said targeting refugees will not increase the security of americans. we understand there are issues involved with what's happening

in some of these countries but historically danger does not come from refugees and we don't have much of a record of dangerous people infiltrating with refugees. these are checked so thoroughly for years, literally, that we think it is an unfair kind of distinction. there are nearly 5 million syrian refugees living abroad, unable to go home and unable to earn a living. they want a better life. translation: we want to go to the united states to live in peace and security. i'm a pharmacist and i want to use my degree. the arab countries don't recognise my degree. here in jordan we're suffering because my children can't get an education. but with anti—foreigner movements on the march in many countries, there's no easy answer to the problems of so many stranded families. dr trita parsi is the founder of the national iranian american

council and is frequently consulted by foreign governments on foreign policy matters. he said iran is affected more than any other country and he welcomed the federal court order. are receiving about 47%. larger than any of the other countries combined. —— iranians. what we have seen today is people across the united states in all communities are really rising up in all communities are really rising up and protesting against this. i think this is partly against a result of these process —— protests that the court has put an executive order against it. doesn't give you some confidence? —— does it? definitely and it is sending a

signal that there is significant hope. beyond the mere fact that so quicklyjudge issued this order is a clear indication that there are significant holds and question marks about this executive order of donald trump's. what is this do for relationships between america and iran? they have been massively fractured in the past. we have seen these allegations from the iranian government but where do you see it going? it makes the point that the thawing of relations with towards the end of the 0bama administration, particularly after the completion of the nuclear deal, has come to an end. we are now in a situation in which the project area may one —— once again be negative. if it threatens the nuclear deal, we may end up in a situation like we were four or five years end up in a situation like we were four orfive years ago end up in a situation like we were four or five years ago where once again warwas four or five years ago where once again war was being considered as one of the options when it came to a

flirtation between the united states and around. donald trump has threatened to disregard of scrap the nuclear deal. what is your organisation planning to do about this? a lot of people say in response to what donald trump is proposing to get organised and to combat, what can you do in real terms? there is plenty to be done and plenty that is being done right 110w. and plenty that is being done right now. there are several avenues. we are looking at various legal challenges with other organisations are putting forward lawsuit against the government on this. there are also challenges that can be mustered through congress. whether it is to the front various elements of this 01’ the front various elements of this or completely overrule it by in—house laws that can go above the president's executive order. there are many ways to challenge this and i think right now we see a tremendous amount of energy and desire to do so. people like committed to make sure this does not become the new america. the swedish photographer, lennart nilsson — who became famous for his ground breaking images of human embryos and foetuses

but the early stages were more notable for anger. and mistakes. that was before the younger williams showed why she is still the most feared player in the women's game. the first set won, serena pounced when necessary in the second as her big sister wilted. and when her moment came, the first person to share it with her was venus. there's no way i would be at 23 without her, there is no way i would be at one without her, there is no way i would have anything without her. she is my inspiration. she is the only reason i'm standing here today and the only reason the williams sisters exist so thank you, venus, for inspiring me. margaret court's record of 2a

is the only one left for serena to overtake. if big sis can't stop her, who can? a recap of our top story. a new york has issued an emergency stay that temporarily blocks the us government from sending people away after they have landed at an airport with valid visas. this was the scene outside the courthouse in brooklyn after the ruling came through. it's in response to president trump's executive order bringing in tough new measures to restrict entry to refugees and immigrants. the american civil liberties union estimates the stay will affect 100 to 200 people detained or in transit, but government lawyers could not confirm that number. stay with us here on bbc news. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter, i'm @tomdonkinbbc hello there.
