a record 15th victory in a row. good evening and welcome to bbc news. a week after donald trump imposed travel restrictions on people from seven mainly—muslim countries, the ban has been lifted. a us federal court ruled the president's order was unconstitutional and amounted to religious discrimination. several airlines have re—opened flights to affected passengers. but donald trump described the court ruling as "ridiculous" and promised to overturn it as soon as possible. from washington, richard lister reports. few modern presidents have inspired such protest and confusion

in the first two weeks in office. president trump recorded his weekly address when that order was still in place. but last night this seattle courthouse or a successful challenge to his authority. i find the court should and will grant a temporary restraining order. his banning order was overturned. it's obviously a historic decision. and an important one for the rule of law. and for the people of the state of washington and the people of our country. i said from the beginning, it is not the loudest voice that prevails in a court room. it is the constitution. within hours, airlines were told by the us border agency that the restrictions on travellers

from the seven affected countries had been dropped. british airways, lufthansa, and others reflected that advice on their websites. these iraqi and iranian nationals at istanbul's ataturk airport wasted no time boarding a long—awaited flight to los angeles, confident that this time they shouldn't run the risk of being sent back. when president trump arrived at his weekend retreat in florida yesterday he must have hoped that the centrepiece of his national security policy was secure. and his fury this morning was all too apparent. he tweeted: this is truly a politicised decision by a judge who doesn't understand

the law that gives the president the prerogative to determine how immigration is handled. that is the fact of the matter. this judge needs to understand that. the trump administration insists the president has the right to exclude anybody from the country on the grounds of national security. this judicial ruling says that the ruling does america more harm than good. so the question seems certain to be decided here at the supreme court. until the question is resolved, the protests will continue. notjust in the us but around the world. president trump is adamant that ultimately he is right and he will win. richard lister with that report — and a little earlier he gave me more of an update from the steps of the supreme court in washington. at this stage we have not heard

whether the department ofjustice has filed that appeal we were just hearing about. they said quite clearly after this ruling they would move ahead with it, but publicly they haven't said anything about whether or not they have filed that appeal as yet. but it would be extraordinary if they didn't. clearly donald trump believes he is within his rights to have made this presidential executive order. he feels it is part of his duty as president to ensure the security of the people of america. and if he wants to exclude foreign nationals on the basis of national security he has every right to do so. they do not believe that the order from the judge in seattle is appropriate or will be allowed to stand. but as things stand we have not heard yet whether or not they have filed that appeal to the appeals court. ultimately, as i said in my piece, it seems likely that once the lower courts have had their say and this goes back and forth, it'll have to come here to the supreme court where the judges will have to make a

final decision. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are the broadcaster penny smith and caroline wheeler, political editor of the sunday express. labour is calling for a change in the law to stop energy companies putting up their prices. john mcdonnell said the legislation was needed to end years of excessive profits. it follows widespread criticism of npower who have announced price rises of up to 15% for some customers. ian watson reports. labour has not exactly been cooking with gas in the opinion polls, but with npower increasing some of its energy prices by 9%, the party sees an opportunity to appeal to people struggling to get by.

people's wages have largely been frozen since 2007—08 in the economic crash and since then that inflation has began to hit them as i know they are being hit by massive increases in energy prices. it is unacceptable saw in the short and we will have a cap and introduce legislation to do that. last year poured cold water on the idea of price caps, but labour say this will be a temporary measure until the market is reformed. haven't we been here before? the next labour government will freeze gas and electricity prices until the start of 2017. ed miliband's plan to freeze energy prices was popular at first, but did not win labour an election. after the last election labour's former policy chief said the party had been reduced to what he described as small—scale bribes, in other words simply giving consumers money off their energy bills was not enough to convince them labour could be trusted with the wider economy. whilst some voters in liverpool welcomed labour's new energy pledge, others needed more convincing. i think it is a smashing idea, in times like this,

times of austerity, everyone is struggling. if the energy firms think there isjustified long—term plan to do that in terms of welfare, there could be justified reasons to not put a cap on it. the government says it is prepared to do more for consumers. the department for business said... in the meantime the government says consumers should be prepared to switch between suppliers to get their prices down. labour is hoping some ha rd—pressed customers will also be prepared to switch their votes. it's emerged a five—year—old boy died at a school in east yorkshire after choking during a school dinner break. the pupil — who has not yet been named — was taken ill yesterday at the primary school on the outskirts of hull. well our correspondent simon spark, gave us this update, from outside the school. this village is just outside hull.

it has around 325 pupils aged between four and ii. it has been confirmed this afternoon that yesterday a five—year—old boy started to choke during the lunch break. despite paramedics being called they were unable to save him. the school has released a statement by the headteacher. it says that they are deeply saddened by this tragic event and the thoughts of everybody connected with the school with the child's family. from here, specialist staff will be sent into the school on monday to help people cope with what has happened here. and, of course, an enquiry will open into the tragic circumstances surrounding this child's death. 14 people have been arrested by police investigating the alleged

misuse of electronic tags used to monitor criminals. it's been claimed staff from capita, working for the government's electronic monitoring service, were paid by criminals to fit the devices loosely so they could be easily removed. the ministry ofjustice says it's begun an urgent investigation. they say they have a zero tolerance against anybody who tries to tamper with the robustness of the devices. those involved in the isolated incident have been taken off duty. the ministry ofjustice and public protection is their number one priority and they say they are urgently investigating and working closely with police. in a moment we will bejoining viewers closely with police. in a moment we will be joining viewers on one for the main evening news. but first, there have been violent clashes between landowners and traditional herdsmen in northern kenya. tens of thousands of cattle

are being driven onto farms and wildlife sanctuaries. the herdsmen say drought is forcing them to move their livestock. but ranchers say it's politically motivated. from kenya, alastair leithead reports. in the grasslands below mount kenya, farmers are fighting a daily battle to keep control of their land. wildlife is being killed and tourist lodges hit, as herds of cattle are being illegally driven onto private land by traditional herdsman in their tens of thousands. "it is because of drought", he told me, "and this is the only place there's pasture, the only place we can bring our cows". but farmers say it's less about drought and more about politics — land in exchange for votes. this is a tourist lodge, set alight by herdsman, angry after clashes with security forces left one man dead.

destroy the wildlife, try to destroy the livelihood of the place. the reality is that there are too many people, too much livestock and it is a global thing, it's not just kenya. overgrazing destroys a carefully managed environment, but also has other costs. elephants are shot — either because they threaten cattle, or, amid the lawlessness, for their ivory. gunfire. we just stumbled across some of the illegal cattle herders 49.1; -5 912—7? 2-x -+ -; 95; 5.2!- will continue their march, and the violence and

damage will spread. alastair leithead, bbc news, laikipia, kenya. donald trump's ban on people coming to the us from seven mainly muslim countries is overturned. after a week of protests, people are allowed to travel freely again as a judge ruled the ban is unconstitutional. it's not the loudest voice that prevails in a courtroom. it's the constitution. but the president has called the judgement ridiculous and says the ban will be reinstated. also tonight... labour calls for a cap on domestic energy prices after the latest sharp increases. and scotland kick off the six nations in style while england stutter past france. just a week after donald trump imposed travel restrictions

on people from seven mainly muslim countries — a us federal court has declared the ban to be unconstitutional and ordered its suspension. many airlines have reopened flights to those passengers affected by the ban. but donald trump has described the ruling "ridiculous" and has vowed to overturn it. that's a battle that might end in the supreme court. from washington, richard lister reports. are the scenes which have characterised the first two weeks of the troubled presidency. foreign travellers held at airports, some allied in and others turned back. millions protesting what they see as discrimination against muslims and

an unwanted change in american values. and all triggered by this one executive order, denying entry for people from seven countries. the order was hit by a series of legal challenges, the latest at this seattle court, was too bad some people from returning to american companies and colleges, damaging the united states. i find that the court should and will grant a temporary restraining order. the ban was suspended. it is obviously an historic decision. and an important one. for the rule of law. and people of the state of washington and the people of our country. i said from the beginning, it is not the loudest voice that prevails in a courtroom, it is the constitution. within hours, airlines were told by the us border agency that restrictions on travellers from affected countries

had been dropped. british airways, luftha nsa a nd had been dropped. british airways, lufthansa and others reflected that advice on their websites. these are iraqi and iranian nationals at istanbul's airport wasted no time boarding a long—awaited flight to los angeles, confident that this time they would be allowed in. when president trump arrived at his weekend retreat in florida, he would have hoped this key part of his national security policy was secure. and his fury at the judge's ruling was all too apparent. he tweeted that the opinion of the so—called judge which essentially takes law enforcement away from our country is ridiculous and will be overturned. he later added... what is our country coming to when a judge can halt a homeland security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into the us? this is truly a politicised decision bya this is truly a politicised decision by a judge who does not understand the law from the 1950s that gives

the law from the 1950s that gives the president tojudge the law from the 1950s that gives the president to judge the prerogative on how immigration is handled, that is the facts of the matter and thisjudge handled, that is the facts of the matter and this judge needs to understand that. the trump administration insist the president has a right to exclude anyone from the country on the grounds of national security but this judicial ruling says the president's executive order does america more harm than good. the question seems almost certain to be decided here at the supreme court. protesters were back on the streets in several american cities today. as they were in london and across europe. but president trump is adamant that, ultimately, he is right and he will win. richard, where are we tonight? is it clear how long this window of free travel will last? the border protection agency has been told to operate as though this executive order never happened.

people from the seven countries affected can come to the united states, provided they have us visas and they will be protest —— processed in the normal way and we have seen no evidence today of anybody being turned back. the state department which had cancelled some 60,000 visas says they are valid, u nless 60,000 visas says they are valid, unless if they have already been cancelled by immigration officials who wrote in the visas when they tried to cross previously. what happens to them? it is not entirely clear but it seems as though those people will not be able to come back u nless people will not be able to come back unless they get a new visa. also not entirely clear tonight is what the administration strategy is, president trump has been tweeting furiously all day about this and his department ofjustice said it was going to file an appeal over this ruling as soon as it could but so far, there has been no appeal.

far, there has been no appealm far, there has been no appeal. it is not entirely clear exactly what will happen next. we can anticipate an appeal but it has not happened yet and when it comes, it could be a matter of days before the court decides on it. richard, thank you. 14 people have been arrested by police investigating the alleged misuse of electronic tags used to monitor criminals. it's been claimed staff from capita, working for the government's electronic monitoring service, were paid by criminals to fit the devices loosely so they could be easily removed. the ministry ofjustice says it's begun an urgent investigation. the louvre museum in paris has reopened a day after a man was shot there as he attacked french soldiers with a machete. the man, believed to be a 29—year—old egyptian, is recovering in hospital. his family, who've been speaking in the egyptian capital, cairo, say they were shocked to learn of his alleged involvement. labour is calling for a change in the law to stop energy companies putting up their prices. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, said legislation was needed to end years of excessive profits. it follows widespread criticism of npower, who have announced price rises of up to 15% for some customers. 0ur political correspondent,

iain watson, reports. labour hasn't exactly been cooking with gas in the opinion polls. but with npower increasing some of its energy prices by 9%, the party sees an opportunity to appeal to people who are struggling to get by. people's wages have largely been frozen since 2007 to 2008 in the economic crash. since then, inflation has now begin to hit them as well and now they are being hit with massive increases in energy prices. it is unacceptable. so in the short—term we'll have a cap and we will introduce legislation to do that. the competition and markets authority last year poured cold water on the idea of price caps but labour says this would be a temporary measure until the market is reformed. and haven't we been here before? the next labour government will freeze gas and electricity prices until the start of 2017. ed miliband's pledge to freeze energy prices was popular at first but did not win labour an election. immediately after the last

general election, labour's former policy chief said that the party had been reduced to offering what was described as small—scale bribes. in other words, simply giving consumers money off their energy bills wasn't enough to convince them that labour could be trusted with the wider economy. and while some voters in liverpool welcomed labour's new energy pledge, others needed more convincing. i think it is a smashing idea. at times like this, times of austerity, everyone is struggling. if the energy companies feel there's a justified reason to do that, in terms of long—term betterness in welfare, then i guess there could be justified reason to not put a cap on it. the government maintains it is prepared to do more for consumers. the department for business said... we expect all energy companies to treat their customers fairly and have been clear that whenever markets are not working for their consumers, we are prepared to act. in the meantime, the government says consumers should be prepared to switch between energy suppliers to get their prices down. but labour is hoping some hard—pressed customers will also be prepared to switch their votes.

iain watson, bbc news. after days of mass protests, romania's government has withdrawn plans to water down the country's anti—corruption laws. an official decree had decriminalised many offences committed by government officials. but that sparked the country's biggest anti—government demonstrations since the fall of communism. from bucharest, steve rosenberg reports. in bucharest tonight, it felt like an entire country had come together in one square. for five days, romanians have been protesting against a government decree. it would have meant that some public officials who had abused their power couldn't be prosecuted. tonight, the government caved in. it said it would cancel the order. these are the largest anti—government protests romania has seen since the fall of communism. and they appear to have succeeded. people power has forced

the government here into a humiliating climb—down. tonight, pressure from the streets forced this televised announcement by romania's prime minister. he would make sure, he said, that the decree would not take effect. just two days ago, he promised there would be no u—turn. 0n victory square there was more suspicion than celebration. many here don't believe a word the government says. i don't think that we could say that we have achieved any victory. we have to see whether or not this is actually cancelled. i don't believe it because they have lied a lot of times. so the protests continue? yes, sure. until we see it on the paper. the authorities claim they are cancelling the decree to avoid division in romania. but after these mass protests, romania's leaders will struggle to unite the country behind the government. steve rosenberg, bbc news, bucharest. now, with news of rugby's

six nations and the rest of the day's sport, here's 0lly foster at the bbc sport centre. england made a very shaky start to the defence of their six nations title as they edged past france 19—16 at twickenham. but there was joy for scotland at murrayfield after a thrilling victory by 27 points to 22 against ireland. here's our sports correspondent, andy swiss. as curtain raisers go, it'll take some beating. the blossoming of the flower of scotland. against an ireland side many had tipped for the title, they raced out of the blocks. two tries from the twinkling toes of stuart hogg. ireland responded in equally fleetfooted style. keith earls charging over. but scotland had brains as well as brawn. what was centre alex dunbar doing at a line—out? well this, and they led 21—5. come the second half though, ireland reeled them in.

when paddy jackson's try edged the visitors ahead, there seemed only one winner. but two nerveless penalties from greig laidlaw saw scotland home. the first time in 11 years they've won their opening match. could it be the start of something special? england meanwhile were looking to continue something special. a 11; match winning streak. but what followed against france was not exactly pretty. this tackle earning jonny may a spell in the sin bin. 9—9 at the break, england were strangely stuttering. elliot daly thought he'd snuck over but watch that left boot. just in touch. it was that sort of day. it soon got a whole lot worse. rabah slimani rumbling over. france in front. but with just ten minutes left replacement ben te'o came to england's rescue. their 15th victory in a row, a new record for them. but this was a lesson in winning ugly. you could almost sense the relief among those england players and the england fans

here at twickenham. their six nations campaign is off to a winning start — but onlyjust. andy swiss, bbc news, twickenham. the first round of matches in the women's six nations has been completed with victories for england and wales today. the welsh were in ancona, where they beat italy 20—8. bottom club sunderland beat fellow strugglers crystal palace 4—0. romelu lukaku scored four in everton‘s 6—3 win against bournemouth.

liverpool slipped to a 2—0 defeat at hull city, west ham won 3—1 at southampton. a harry kane penalty saw spurs beat middlesbrough to move three points clear of arsenal. there were also wins for watford and west bromwich albion. in the scottish premiership, rangers slipped to third after being held to a 1—1 draw against ross county. aberdeen are now second after beating partick. the day's only other victory was at fir park as hearts overcame ten—man motherwell 3—0. esmael goncalves scored twice, his first goals for the club. celtic could move 27 points clear at the top with a win — they face saintjohnstone tomorrow. jamie murray and dom inglot put great britain 2—1 up against canada with victory in saturday's davis cup doubles contest in ottawa. and that's all the sport for now. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. that's all from me. goodnight. the weather on sunday across most of

the uk is not looking too bad. there will be a lot of cloud around and one or two will be a lot of cloud around and one oi’ two showers will be a lot of cloud around and one or two showers but on balance, not a bad day. this is what the satellite looks like right now. this mass of cloud, heavy showers crossing south—western parts of the country and wales and the rain moving away from scotland. it was quite a wet day here. showers moving further east so some areas may catch some rain overnight but overall,
