the us appeals court has delivered another blow to president trump's travel ban on people from seven mainly muslim countries. it has refused to reinstate the ban, which was suspended yesterday by a federal court in washington state. travellers from the affected countries who had been prevented from travelling have been arriving in the the united states. passengers arriving in the us while they can. for now, at least, the lifting of president trump's travel ban we are very excited, we are very happy. finally we have been cleared, we are allowed to enter the united states. one man from yemen, a country

which is on the list, quickly booked a flight back from turkey, where he'd been visiting his fiancee. i'm very happy, i know i'm free now, i feel safe now. a ruling late on friday byjudgejames robart in seattle led to president trump's order being suspended. in a series of tweets yesterday, president trump vowed to restore the ban, denouncing him as a "so—called judge". the vice president, speaking on american tv, defended the administration. we face a dangerous enemy, inspiring people to come into this country, frankly inspiring people already in this country, and the president is determined to use the authority he already has under the constitution and under the law. but doesn't thisjudge have the authority to do what he did as well? he certainly does, and that's why the administration is complying with that order as we speak. despite president trump's anger, in the latest legal twist a federal appeals court has denied thejustice department's request for an immediate reinstatement of the ban. the court has given the white house

and the states challenging it a deadline of monday to present more arguments. the executive order has provoked mass protests. critics say the ban is a violation of the constitution, but the president said it's not about religion but ensuring the country's national security. the acting solicitor general has argued president trump alone, and not the judiciary, has the power to decide who can enter or stay in the us. jane frances kelly, bbc news. earlier, i spoke to dr brian klaas, a fellow in comparative politics at the london school of economics. i began by asking him if donald trump's travel ban was vulnerable to this sort of legal challenge. it was a slapdash and sloppy rushed attempt to institute a campaign pledge. and given that trump had said on the campaign trail repeatedly that he thought that muslims should not be allowed into the united states, and then trump's surrogate rudy giuliani said that they were trying to find a legal way to do this, it's obviously vulnerable

to the criticism that it was a muslim ban. beyond that, the language of the text was not run by the bureaucracy, the cabinet, the secretary of homeland security was not briefed appropriately, and so the political wing of the white house rushed this through and ended up creating a vulnerability to these type of legal challenges. do you think the political wing of the white house is going to learn from this? are you surprised that president trump did not take better advice, or did not surround himself with the sort of advisers who might say, let's look at this a little bit more carefully? i hope so. i think that there was some recklessness here, and people like steven bannon and steven miller in the white house, who are major, very influential figures for trump, i think they are realising that they are in charge of one and not three branches of government, and that there is a legislative and judicial branch and this process is playing out through the courts as it should according to the constitution. what you make of donald trump's response to james robart, describing him as a "so—called judge"? is he undermining those checks and balances in the us constitution by using this sort of language? he is attacking the

independent judiciary in an unprecedented personal way. presidents are often publicly disagreeing with rulings that go against them, that is a totally normal thing, but to call someone a so—called judge and say that he is imperilling national security for upholding his interpretation of law, which is effectively doing hisjob, is something you don't normally see out of presidents. i think a lot of republicans are also worried about this, from his own party. so where is this going to go? picking up on that point about republicans and his own party being worried about how he is handling this, is the party in congress going to try to rein him in? we have seen him use lots of executive orders so far, he hasn't had to consult congress over those, clearly. is he going to use those more and more in the future, do you think? i think that privately many republicans in congress are livid. i think that they are viewing this presidency as something that they are tied to but wish they were not tied to. they are sort of caught between the primary base of republican voters and, for some of them, their principles. because this is something that a lot of people spoke out

against during the campaign. when trump talked about and muslim ban there was a wave of republican opposition to it, and now there is more of a tepid response because he is in power. so they are going to have to make a calculation of how they deal with trump going forward, and many of them privately are very unhappy. do you think that president trump is having difficulty making the transition from ceo to acting in this presidential way? yes, there are a lot more restrictions on a president than there are on a business person. you just sort of make a deal in business, you have to build coalitions as a president, you have to get people who disagree with you to come along and say, yes, we buy into this process, we think this policy is the right policy. and he did not really do that, he tried to ram this and now he is getting the pushback

that is now almost certainly going to be there inevitably. the government is promising a new emphasis on people who rent their homes when it unveils its housing strategy this week. the housing minister, gavin barwell, said the white paper would offer security through minimum tenancies and increase the number of homes built for rent. what we're going to see as a rental revolution. if you want a professionally managed apartment with amenities, you can have that. if you want to rent a flat in a victorian house conversion in headingley, the familiar things that stu d e nts headingley, the familiar things that students rent, you can have those, they might be a bit cheaper. or if you can afford to own, the government says they are going to create an array of ownership offers as well. it is getting rid of the stigma and a lot those options whilst getting rid of the red tape and bureaucracy that we see in the current system. this is the conservative party

signalling a change of tone. that is catching up with the reality that a lot of people are not realistically going to own their own one. numbers awning have dropped and numbers renting have risen. they are going to provide people with some help in that way. there is not a lot of detail at the moment, how much of what we do know is new? they say that they want to tackle the high re nt that they want to tackle the high rent and that they want to be able to extend tenancies so that people can plan to stay in places for longer, because the of people renting with children is going up. and also the fact that councils will be able to plan to build these build to rent houses, and they want to have consultation with developers, in the way that housing associations do, so that the earmarked certain numbers of housing for the rent and longer tenancies. in terms of rent, how are they going to guarantee that

these rents are affordable, that these rents are affordable, that these tenancies will be set up with a minimum term, etc? wejust do not know yet. the housing white paper comes out on tuesday and it will ed ling consultations that need to take place. the housing minister was asked about what they are rent would be, and he said it would be about 20% bubble the market but it could change in different parts of the country. — — change in different parts of the country. —— below the market. housing associations sometimes have rates 60% below the average. last year, interns of the affordable new builds, it was the lowest figure in 24 years, so this challenge is huge for the government. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says he'll announce changes

to his shadow cabinet this week. labour mps had been instructed to vote in favour of triggering article 50 when the legislation was debated in the commons, but some front—bench mps rebelled. he told the world this weekend on radio 4 that he was committed to keeping parliament fully involved in the brexit negotiation process. iam i am talking to them all, i will introduce changes in the next few days. should you not be more lenient? i am a very lenient person. we will be pitting strong amendments to the house and we would add that we invite all parties to have an accountable seeing how the government proceed with these investigations. parliament must be fully involved. the government should be stripped of responsibility for overseeing rail companies' franchises, according to mps on the

transport committee. their report criticises the department for transport forfailing to hold rail companies to their promises. the government says it's already implementing many of the mps recommendations. here's our business correspondent joe lynam. if you're a regular train user you'll know all about the disruption at southern rail, the above—inflation ticket price rises and carriages bursting at peak times. how do you feel about rail franchises, though? i live in halifax, so i get the northern line to either manchester or leeds, and it's always late, there are two carriages for a million people. it's very expensive, which is why i don't normally use them, i can drive much cheaper. i think it should still stay a franchise but there needs to be more regulations in place to punish the train companies. i tend to travel on virgin. i tend to prefer them over the other ones, they tend to be very reliable. the transport select committee, which oversees the government, says that taxpayers are still on the hook when things go wrong on the railways, and that

the department for transport should no longer control and monitor rail franchises, that should be handed over to the independent office for rail and road. the cost of running the railways hasn't gone down, the system doesn't work together very well and, in reality, there is actually very little competition. but the transport secretary said he's aware of the problems and is solving the issue of different parts of the sector not connecting very well. they say there's not enough coordination between network rail, the infrastructure operator, the track operator and the train companies. i agree with that, before christmas i set out plans to start to reunite track and train step by step. train operators say that franchising, which has been around for 21 years, has been a success story, and passenger numbers have doubled. but with satisfaction dwindling and overcrowding soaring, reform might be coming down the track. joe lynam, bbc news. an 18—year—old man has been shot dead in a pub car park at llanbedrog, in gwynedd in north wales.

police says the man was in a vehicle outside the ship inn when he was attacked. four people have been arrested. firefighters are battling to control a large blaze at a recycling centre near stoke on trent. a large plume of smoke has been rising from the building, which the staffordshire fire service says is full of recycled plastics. residents have been advised to stay indoors and to keep their windows closed. britain's most senior police officer, the outgoing head of the metropolitan police sir bernard hogan howe, has warned that policing in the uk will become increasingly difficult because of rising crime and public spending cuts. he has warned there are only so many efficiency savings forces can make before front line policing begins to suffer. i'm not a defeatist by nature, i don't thinkjust because there is less money you have to fail. all i think i'm highlighting, to be fair to my successor, is it's going to be a more challenging environment. we have done a lot over the last five years

to make the met more efficient and more modern. we have taken out an awful lot of things from the past that were inefficient and kept our 32,000 cops. we've got less buildings, we've got less managers, sadly we've lost around 4500 of our support staff. now, you've got to do these things, and there are more hard decisions to come. that's one of the big points i'm trying to make. some british airways cabin crew have begun a three—day strike in a dispute over what they describe as poverty pay. the unite union estimates the staff earn on average £16,000 a year, including allowances. but ba insists none earn less than £21,000. the airline says all its passengers will be able to travel but that the time of flights might be affected. the headlines on bbc news: a setback for donald trump as judges refuse to immediately reverse a suspension to his controversial travel ban on people from seven countries. france's national front leader, marine le pen, has launched her campaign to become the country's new president.

a scathing report into the way britain's train system is organised — mps says it lets down passengers and isn't fit for purpose. in sports, manchester city have conceded late and are being held to a 1-1 conceded late and are being held to a 1—1 draw with swansea in the premier league. the scoring opened after 11 minutes. gylfi sigurdsson scored for the away side. manchester city are trailing chelsea in the table. celtic came from behind to beat saintjohnstone 5—2. they have now won 19 league games in a row. wales have so far been restricted to two we have penny penalties in the

six nations. france's far—right leader, marine le pen, has formally launched her bid to become president with a twin attack on globalisation and islamic fundamentalism. she told a rally in the southern city of lyon that economic globalisation killed communities and she promised to stand up for france's fundamental values. translation: if you are here today in such large numbers it is because you understand, and recent events have shown us that against the money and the money from the left, i am the candidate for the french people. let's talk to our correspondent in paris, jonny dymond. marine le pen has also promised to

hold a referendum on france's membership of the eu, poole frantz out of the euro, against other pledges —— cammack. how much traction does she have going into this presidential campaign? i think it has significant traction, it has gone from being a fairly insignificant party to play in french politics. there are two rounds in the presidential election, in the first one, anyone who gets a significant amount of support can stand. marine le pen - as if centre or any kind of compromise, this was about of political red meat to her supporters and be loved it. it was

interrupted by standing ovations and wild applause and cheering and people getting to the feet and cha nts people getting to the feet and chants of, we are going to win. it was also a moment of identity politics, primarily, the french identity. this ends, perhaps, that france, in her eyes, is besieged by the forces of globalisation, free trade, islam and islamic fundamentalism, besieged by foreign speculators, by the european union. this was a speech saying that things are going to change in france if she ta kes are going to change in france if she takes power. it has to be said, that it is unlikely, highly unlikely, that she will take power. because if she gets through the first round, which is quite likely, she will struggle in the second round to gain a majority of the french people. her voice, her message, clearly resonates with a significant number

of people who believe that the parties of the right and the left, the consensus between them, has somehow left a number of french people out. but it certainly does not convince the majority of french people, not at the moment and not u nless people, not at the moment and not unless something fundamental changes in the next few months. how are the problems faced by francois fillon plane into her hands? he's embroiled in the scandal about fake jobs for his family, allegedly. it enforces her message that french politicians are out of touch, that the system is legally corrupt. that is true that it plays into her hands. how much support she gains from it, i am not sure, because she is not the only independent candidates, there is also a man called emmanuel macron, who is a former economy minister, an

independent, he picked himself between left and right and does not make an appeal to the kind of identity politics that marine le pen does. we will have to see how the francois fillon scandal sheets up. he insists that he is not standing down. this was a strong start for marine le pen. supporters in lyon will very much all we fired up by her words. romania's government has withdrawn a controversial decree that would have reduced some penalties for corruption. prime minister sorin grindeanu said he did not want to divide the country after days of huge street protests. earlier, our correspondent nick thorpe in bucharest told ben brown about the impact the government's climbdown is having. i think we're going to get news any time that the government has no

revoked that decree. they will have to then engage in some kind of damage limitation, they will have to try to tell their own supporters, they were elected with about 5 million votes between the two parties, they will have to try to convince the voters that this is a setback and not a surrender. more importantly, they will have to try to persuade romanian society that this was not a simple black and white battle between corrupt politicians on one hand and the anti—corruption fight, as the protesters who have been flocking to this square have been saying, but this square have been saying, but this is more complicated, and battle between different branches of the legislature and the executive ranches of the government. they want to try to limit the damage that this public climb—down will cause them.

this has been an example of people power. absolutely. romania is a country we're in the past protests have famously brought down the government, famously in 1989, but only two years ago the then social democrat government was toppled by street protests. this is a country where hundreds of thousands of people feel able, even on cold weekday evenings, to come out on the streets and stand up for what they believe in. also here, it is a country where the government is often at loggerheadswith different branches, the orthodox church also sided with the protesters and in the end the government felt that it had to back down. the number of recorded cases of children committing sexual offences against other children has

increased by nearly 80% over the last three years, according to the charity barnardo's. the charity has said such abuse may become the next scandal in our society. the national police chiefs' council said the increase was down to more awareness and greater victim confidence. andrew pemberton from barnardo's explained. more and more children and parents are worried about these issues and it is important that we talk about them, child—on—child sexual abuse is a difficult issue to wrestle with, and it is important that we talk about it and important that we think about how we support the children involved. not only the victims but also the children perpetrating these acts because we is that they are often victims of abuse and trauma themselves. a man with motor neurone disease is creating a voice synthesiser with a yorkshire accent to help him keep his identity when he can no longer speak. earlier this morning, jason liversidge and his family spoke to christian fraser on bbc

breakfast about the project. it was really important to me to emulate my voice, notjust have a voice which could be anybody. it is incredible to get the accent, because the accent is beer. was it important to have a yorkshire accent? who did you go to get the words? we did an appeal on the local newspapers and radio and social media last year. people came to edinburgh at their own expense to create a synthesised computer voice forjason. what does it sound like to hear daddy? lily? what does it sound like to hear daddy?

is it good to hear him? important to hear him? it is, isn't it? yes. you do like daddy's voice. that is crucially important. it is obviously important to you, jason, that you can communicate with them how you used to communicate. it is amazing to know that my girls and my wife will still be able to talk to me and hear my voice back, especially the girls, because they only know my voice now and not as it used to be. motor neurone disease, as we know, can be devastating for families. how has it affected jason? it has been a year since you came on the programme. it has been 18 months — the last time he was walking and his mobility was much better. now he is unable to walk, he can only stand for a few seconds and needs help with everything

from washing, dressing, feeding, everything. it is a devastating diagnosis. last year you put out this appeal to find these voice donors. it is an extraordinary thing to be able to digitise the way that people talk. were you surprised by the way that people responded to the appeal that you put out? it is coming. it is coming, is it? it is interesting, the viewers cannot see the screen, but there is a lot of programming going on without movement of hands. how's that happening? here comes your answer. we did an appeal for donors through friends and my old school website. the response was great, people older and younger went to edinburgh to support me, which has blown me away. how does this work? it works with infrared, which tracks his eye movements. the computer has a keypad, jason

looks at each individual letter, presses a speech button with his eyes and it will speak the sentence. he has only had this for a week? yes, it has taken a bit of getting used to. stephen hawking had a thing on his cheek, he controls it with muscle movement? i think maybe because his eyes are not strong enough for him to control it using infrared. you were diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2013, how difficult has it been for you to deal with the condition? first of all, i did not believe it. it is like your whole life flashes before you. i think it took about three weeks to get my head around it. i will be honest, i think that i have dealt with it really well.

the way i have always seen it is the glass is half empty. and jason's story is on inside out in yorkshire and lincolnshire tomorrow evening at 7.30pm, or you can watch it on the bbc iplayer. it has not been this spark a list of these outside my window, though some of you are feeling much better than that. i have brought you some glorious pictures. from northern ireland, scotland, wales, you have all dawn revie quite well. it is a quiet end to the day on what has been quite a quiet day. some of you have not seen the forklift. overnight, there will be a touch of frost about proceedings the other

half of that equation is that there will be some mist and fog around. bear those things in mind. essentially a dry start for many. some cloud and rain into some pretty cool tier over the eastern side of the british isles, turning increasingly mild towards the south—west. the problem is probably come later, as the moisture pushes across the high ground of britain, where there will be quite a covering of snow. more details on that in half an hour. hello, this is bbc news with annita mcveigh. the headlines at 3:30. a setback for donald trump as judges refuse to immediately reverse a suspension to his controversial travel ban on people from seven countries. france's national front leader, marine le pen, has launched her campaign to become the country's new president. ministers pledge more affordable homes will be built in england,

aimed at tackling the high cost of renting. a scathing report into the way britain's train system is organised. mps says it lets down passengers and isn't fit for purpose. now on bbc news, inside out. hello and welcome to inside out with me, dianne oxberry. this week, it's no longerjust just one for the road. we investigate a growing number of people driving under the influence of drugs. they're going to lose theirjob and lose their licence and they don't think about this before they go out on the road. we report on the cumbrian farmers feeling left out in the cold by their landlords, the national trust. what would beatrix potter make of it all? she would be utterly horrified at how much has gone into tourism and everything else.
