welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm chris rogers. our top stories: standing his ground. ss his travel ban remains suspended, president trump calls for people coming into the us to be checked very carefully. france's far right leader, marine le pen, attacks globalisation and radical islam as she launches her presidential campaign. hundreds of thousands take to the streets again in romania, saying they don't trust the government. and one of the world's biggest sporting events, the super bowl, is underway with millions of americans and many more around the world tuning in. president trump has become embroiled in a bitter battle with the american legal system.

a federal appeals court on sunday refused to reinstate his controversial travel ban preventing people from seven mainly—muslim countries from entering the united states. it was a judge in seattle who'd originally put a temporary stop to the policy, and the president has accused him of putting the country in peril. our north america correspondent nick bryant has more. the rush to reach america — arrivals from mainly—muslim countries making it through immigration after an appeals court rejected a move by the trump administration to reimpose its travel ban. so, impromptu celebrations at us airports, and relief for those looking to head across the atlantic. tonight, atjfk airport in new york, this family from iraq finally made it into the country. they'd spent two years obtaining us visas, and had packed up their lives in iraq. the embassy contacted me and they said,

"we are sorry, you are able to travel." it was a red carpet welcome for the president at a gala last night, the colour he clearly saw when the "so—called judge", as he put it, blocked his executive order. his administration is doubling down. we face a dangerous enemy, inspiring people to come into this country and frankly inspiring people who are already in this country. and the president is determined to use the authority he has under the constitution and under the law. is it right for the president to say "so—called judge" ? the american people are very accustomed to this president speaking his mind. all chant: say it loud, say it clear — refugees are welcome here. they're also getting accustomed to demonstrators speaking theirs. and this weekend has seen a continuation of the protests between those who view the travel ban as an attack on american values, and supporters of donald trump, who see it as defending the american homeland. polls suggest a nation deeply divided. it's over a week since donald trump signed his executive order. he says he's allowed to bar certain foreigners in the name

of national security. but on friday, a federal court overturned the ban, thejudge saying it was unconstitutional. late last night came the president's first attempt to get the ban restored. he argued his presidential authority was being undermined. but that appeal was rejected earlier today. a fuller appeal is due later this week. america right now is receiving something of a constitutional civics lesson in how the country's founding fathers designed a system of checks and balances to make sure that no one person wielded too much power. in his latest interview, the american president seemed to show more respect for vladimir putin than america'sjudges. reporter: do you respect putin? i do respect him. do you?! why? well, i respect a lot of people, but that doesn't mean i'm going to get along with them. putin is a killer. there are a lot of killers. we've got a lot of killers. what, you think our country is so innocent? that is a jaw—dropping statement from an occupant of the white house, that flies in the face

of the doctrine of american exceptionalism. nick bryant reporting. you saw there some of the interview mr trump gave to fox news. he went on to defend the way his travel restrictions were implemented. i think it was very smooth. he had 109 people out of hundreds of thousands of travellers and all we did was vet those people very, very carefully. you would not do anything differently if you had to do it over again? look in life you... some of your people did not really know what the order was. that is not what general kelly said. general kelly, who is now secretary kelly, he said he totally knew, he was aware of it and it was very smooth. it was 109 people. earlier david cole, the national legal director of the american civil liberties union, explained why donald trump had lost the court case so far. so far i think everyjudge that has looked at it has in fact enjoined president trump from enforcing it in one fashion or another. there's currently,

because of the order from the judge in washington, a nationwide stay on any enforcement and the reason they all have agreed i think is really twofold — one, it violates one of the most basic principles of the us constitution which is that the government cannot selectively favour or disfavour any particular religion, and this is targeted at muslims and, according to donald trump himself, designed to favour christians over muslims — that is a blatantly obvious unconstitutional purpose. but the executive order does not actually say in expressed terms it is favouring christians over muslims or any other religion group over muslims? right, it does not say that but donald trump went on christian broadcast news the day it it was issued and said the purpose of this order is to favour christians over muslims so he essentially admitted the constitutional intent. but he says an awful lot of things, doesn't he? we are talking about a legal document, an executive order, that's what the judges have got to go on.

what the law says is if a legal action by the government is either on its face or in its purpose targeted at a religious group it is unconstitutional. again, that's why everyjudge that has looked at this — there have been cases of about 10—12 different courts across the country — every one of them has enjoined the order...the engorcement of the order in one fashion or another. it is pretty plainly unconstitutional. it is a black and white case, not a grey case at all. unfortunately for the islamic world, for these muslim countries, it's pretty much fact — not everytime, not with every single terrorist atrocity — that it is mainly muslims who have carried out some of the atrocities that donald trump is trying to protect america from. that would be his arguement, he is not attacking a religion, he's attacking terrorism. the thing is, we have laws that target terrorists. we exclude people who are associated with terrorits groups or supported

terrorist groups, are engaged in any kind of terrorism, about whom we have any basis for suspecting they are involved in terrorism, they are not in the country. what this does, instead of looking at terrorists, it draws with a broad brush, it paints everybody who comes from these muslim countries as presumptively dangerous, when probably 0.00001% of them might be presumptively dangerous. and as many national security officials in the us have said, it plays right into isis‘s hands because it essentially sets up the us against islam and that is not our narrative, it is their narrative but donald trump has given them their narrative. france's nationalist leader, marine le pen, has formally launched her bid to become president,

with a major speech in lyon. she promised to stand up for france's fundamental values, and spoke out against globalisation. lucy williamson has the details she hugs kittens, shares memories of pregnancy, and has dropped her controversial surname from the party brand. this is marine, a new, softer image for france's hard—line nationalist—in—chief. but the message is broadly the same. translation: our leaders have chosen unregulated globalisation. it was supposed to be a wonderful thing, but it turned out to be horrible. always in search of maximum profit, with mass immigration and financial capitalism. her election promises, to pull france out of the euro, cut immigration, and give french people priority in housing and jobs, have won her enough support, polls say, to win the first round of the presidential contest.

but, without political allies, her problem will be winning the second, and this time she is not the only alternative party on offer. france is suddenly facing the prospect of a presidential run—off without either of its main, established parties. with the leaders of both left and right trailing in the polls, voters could end up choosing between two political outsiders, one fiercely nationalist, the other with a liberal, pro—europe vision for france. emmanuel macron drew twice as many people to his own election rally in lyon this weekend. not bad for a man waging his first—ever election campaign. if marine le pen is targeting the losers of globalisation, mr macron is pushing its benefits hard. only to be expected from a former banker, perhaps. translation: some today pretend to be speaking in the name

of the people, but they are just ventriloquists. they attribute to the french values that are not really theirs. that is a dig at the front national, whose slogan says it is running in the name of the people. but, in this election, there are many candidates from many different parties who are claiming to do just the same. in other news: investigators in france have begun questioning the man suspected of carrying out a machete attack at the louvre museum in paris. so far, he's refusing to speak. egyptian national abdullah hamamy was shot in the stomach and seriously wounded on friday, after he attacked a group of soldiers near the museum entrance. a teenage girl has died after being flung from a ride at an amusement park

in central china. she was thrown on to metal railings and later died in hospital. an initial investigation showed her seatbelt had broken and a passenger safety bar did not fit securely. in australia, six archbishops are to appear before a royal commission into child abuse. they'll explain their response to attacks on children by paedophile priests. it's part of an investigation into thousands of allegations of sexual abuse in schools, sports clubs and religious organisations. queen elizabeth is about to become the first british monarch to reach her sapphire jubilee. monday marks the 65th anniversary of the day that she came to the throne as elizabeth ii. last year she became the world's longest serving monarch, after the death of the king of thailand. mass protests are continuing in romania for a sixth consecutive night, despite a climb—down by the government. earlier, authorities scrapped a decree that would de—criminalise some corruption offences, but romanian television is reporting

that around half a million people are on the streets, taking part in demonstrations around the country. greg dawson reports. this was part celebration, part demonstration in bucharest‘s victory square. they may have won their first battle against the government but for the hundreds of thousands gathered in the cold, that is not enough. we are determined to resist, to keep fighting. to keep fighting until the current government steps down. i have hoped maybe the government will fall and this is what we want because, i think they are zero in everything. we want them to leave. it is not enoughjust to cancel it. they did something very wrong and we want them out. the unrest started when the government announced plans to decriminalise corruption offences

if the costs involved were less than $48,000. critics saw it as an attempt by the government to let off many of its own officials. that includes the governing party's leader, liviu dragnea, who is accused of defrauding the state. after initially ignoring the public anger, the prime minister finally backed dow but it is clear he has lost the trust of many of in this country. over the last six days, it is estimated more than half a million people have protested in towns and cities throughout romania. from the hundreds of thousands gathered in bucharest in the south to rallies in the city of cluj napoca in the north. and this was the scene in the streets of the western city of timisoara on saturday night. they are the largest demonstrations seen in romania since the fall of communism in 1989 and many here say until there's a change of government, they will continue their fight. greg dawson, bbc news.

avalanches triggered by heavy snow have killed scores of people in parts of afghanistan and pakistan. homes have been destroyed and major roads blocked. 0fficials fear more people are trapped under the snow. catharina moh has the story. this is one of the worst—hit areas in afghanistan. the severe snow storms have triggered avalanches, burying entire villages in nuristan province. at least 50 bodies have been recovered but rescue efforts have been hampered as they struggle to reach another village. the mountainous regions, mainly in the northern and eastern parts of the country, have suffered most. translation: during the past 48 hours, 22 provinces have been witnessing heavy snow. most of the transportation routes between main cities have been shut down. 0n major roads and highways, soldiers have rescued hundreds

of vehicles trapped by the storm. in the capital, kabul, the international airport is shut down. the rapid snow fall has also caused rooves to collapse. on sunday, a normal working day in afghanistan, the government declared a public holiday to ensure schools were closed. the death toll has been steadily rising over the past few days and officials are warning of more over avalanches to come as the snow storms continue. catharina moh, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: a reign of terror on the poor — condemnation from the catholic church of the philippines president's war on drugs. this is the moment that millions

in iran had been waiting for. after his long years in exile, the first hesitant steps of ayatollah khomeini on iranian soil. south africa's white government has offered its black opponents concessions unparalleled in the history of apartheid. the ban on the african national congress is lifted immediately, and the anc leader, nelson mandela, after 27 years injail, is to be set free unconditionally. the aircraft was returning from belgrade, where manchester united had entered the semi—final of the european cup. two americans have become the first humans to walk in space without any lifeline to their spaceship. one of them called it a piece of cake. thousands of people have given the yachstwoman ellen macarthur a spectacular homecoming in the cornish port of falmouth after she smashed the world record for sailing solo around the world non—stop. this is bbc news.

i'm chris rogers. the latest headlines: the us president says he has instructed homeland security to check people coming into the country very carefully, after losing an appeal to lift his travel ban. france's far—right leader marine le pen attacks globalisation and radical islam, as she launches her presidential campaign. the catholic church in the philippines has called an anti—drugs campaign launched by the president, rodrigo duterte, a reign of terror on the country's poor. as david campanale reports, the message was read out during sermons across the philippines on sunday. these are the toughest words yet from the roman catholic church on president duterte's drugs policy, and they are likely to reach many millions of people who attend church in this devout country. the pastoral letter from the bishops' conference was read to congregations across the philippines, who heard that it is wrong to treat the killings as if they are necessary. an additional cause of concern

is the reign of terror, in many places, of the poor. many are killed not because of drugs. those who killed them are not brought to account. an even greater cause of concern is the indifference of many to this kind of wrong. the message said the battle against illegal drugs needs to be fought, but not by killing addicts and pushers. over 7,000 people have been killed since president duterte unleashed a ferocious crackdown seven months ago, more than 2,500 individuals killed in police raids and sting operations. human rights groups believe many other deaths that police had attributed to vigilantes were carried out by assassins, likely colluding with police. in the churches, the killings are viewed as unchristian. translation: we need to give them a chance,

because drug addicts arejust victims. we should just rehabilitate the victims of drug abuse, and we should go after the drugs lords. they should be the ones we condemn, 0k? the bishops' letter doesn't mention president duterte by name, but urges accountability from the government and police. it comes at an uncertain time for his war on drugs. less than a week ago, the president suspended the campaign because of police corruption. to its critics it was a monstrosity, resembling an oil refinery more than a museum, but as paris's pompidou centre celebrates its 40th birthday, its reputation as an icon of modern architecture is well—established. it's been popular, too, with more than 100 million visitors passing through its doors since 1977. 0ur arts editor will gompertz has been speaking to two of the original architects, richard rogers and renzo piano, about the pompidou's enduring legacy.

ah, paris, beautiful, romantic, and radical. a city of revolutions, riots and avant—garde ideas. like the pompidou centre, which in 1977 was like an electric shock for cultural conservative. a daring, inside out building with its guts on show and weird caterpillar escalators crawling up its facade. these two self—confessed bad boys were behind its creation. unknown iconoclasts back then, respected pillars of society today. they hadn't expected their design to beat the 680 competing proposals. and when it did, a steep learning curve awaited. we were very naive. i mean, we were young kids out

of school, without work. but as very many naive people, we didn't realise how complicated it was. had we realised, i doubt we would've done the competition. it was a miracle, we had court cases against us, everybody hated it, nobody had worse press than we did. it was only when it opened and people started to line up and coming and the figures were fantastic, it changed. this building was a shift, it was celebrating a shift, a change. yes. and when the change occurs in society, it's never easy, it's never easy. you cannot expect to build a change like this that was not due to us. the change was in the air. it was in the air of may, '68, it was in the air all the time. so you've got to have a change. we were just simply building the change. what were your reference points? where had you seen similar ideas executed? it was a cross between

new york's times square, which was full of glitter and song and sex and all the rest of it, but it was lovely because people wanted to get there, and the british museum, a symbol of one of the greatest museums of the world, where you could sit down and do a deep cultural study. beauty can change the world. it can help to change the world, and become a unifying element. i think it is tremendously underrated. their pompidou was a utopian project where people can explore art and ideas. a ao—year—old concept that they would argue is even more relevant today. will gompertz, bbc news, paris. one of america's most anticipated sporting events of the year, the super bowl, is taking place in the city of houston. the new england patriots american football team are playing

and the game is in overtime. this hasn't happened before in the history of the nfl. we will keep you up—to—date. i think it is 15 minutes we are looking at. let's go to boston, where new england patriots fan marc freedman is watching the game at home with friends. it really is. the super bowl is like a national holiday. the roads are pretty quiet, the places that do pizza or wings are incredibly busy. families and neighbourhoods come together, all watching football, and of course watching the commercials. and lady gaga was pretty great for half—time as well. you mention the commercials. i can't believe that so many americans actively tune in to see the commercials. what is that about? it's really funny. as you know, in london, commercials are not nearly as abundant as they are

in the united states. but $5 million, $5 million, for a 30—second commercial here, and there are lots of them during the bowl. what do you think of the game so far? the atmosphere is pretty amazing in the stadium. how is it in the house? yes, the stadium is great. it is a little sombre here. usually these guys behind me are cheering like crazy. this is the fifth time tom brady was looking to win the super bowl. we can still pull it out, you never know. 0ur big surprise two years ago, super bowl xlix, they pulled it out at the very last minute. they have a long way to go this time. but we are staying optimistic, we really are. a serious question for you. i think it is pretty fair to say that america is a very divisive country at the moment, when it comes to politics. is this perhaps the one night where america does actually come together, and people do put their political differences aside? absolutely, this is the day... it is about the sport, it is about the love of the game, it is about camaraderie, it is about great sportsmanship,

and that is what you will see throughout the course of the super bowl. we usually have about 350 million viewers here at bbc news. i think it is a lot less than that tonight, mainly because our viewers in north america probably are not tuning in. but i can see the crowd behind you are probably dying to wave to the viewers that we do have. i will leave it to you. there have been dying to do that. i could just tell. they haven't had much to cheer about tonight! many thanks. thank you forjoining us on many thanks. thank you forjoining us on the bbc. that was march freedman and friends watching the superbowl in boston. and we arejust and we are just hearing that the pats have won it, the nfl champions. much more coming up on bbc on the super bowl and of course donald trump. hello there.

it has been a bit of a mixed weekend, weatherwise. temperatures have been slowly dipping down by a few degrees. this is how we ended the day in studland, dorset. you can see the sunset over poole harbour there, a very serene scene, with the murmuration, too. by monday morning, though, many of us are likely to see some frost and some fog, so a bit of a wintry flavour to the weather to start off your new working week. so let's look at first thing monday morning. temperatures, even in our towns and cities, really a degree or so either side of freezing. it could be quite a bit colder than that in the countryside first thing. so a sharp frost, and then later in the day we see low pressure approaching from the atlantic, bringing rain to western parts of the uk on that weather front. but to start things off, then, monday morning at 8:00am, cold and clear across much of wales, southern and central england. the odd pocket of fog around, particularly across parts of eastern england, and certainly some frost here. cloudier skies towards the far west

of england, western parts of wales, and northern ireland, too. but chilly for much of northern ireland, northern england and scotland. we've got some frost first thing in the morning, and some mist and some fog patches to watch out for, too. so take care on the roads, because we have got that frost, and also the fog around. through the course of the day, we will see that front moving into western areas, so the winds picking up for northern ireland, wales, the south—west of england, too, with the arrival of some rain. central and eastern parts of the country remaining dry, certainly less windy, and colder, too, with temperatures between around about five in the east, to ten further west. moving through the course of monday evening and overnight, increasingly that rain will turn to snow over the higher ground, as it makes its way eastwards across northern england, and scotland, too. further south, it will be falling as rain. and then, once that rain clears through, early on tuesday, we are looking at, again, some fogginess first thing in the morning. so this is how tuesday looks. we've got this weather front which is sitting across eastern parts of the uk. it bumps into high pressure, which is situated across scandinavia, and that means the weather front won't be

going anywhere in a hurry. so it remains fairly cloudy towards the east, a few spots of rain. a slice of sunshine for the likes of south—west scotland, northern ireland and wales, but then further rain working into the south—west late in the day, and temperatures a touch milder than recent days, between around about 6—10 degrees. then, heading through into wednesday, a quieter day here. we've got that front in the eastjust fading away, so still quite cloudy towards the east, but it should be dry. some brighter skies, particularly for parts of wales, the south—west of england, too, and temperatures generally between around about 4—9 degrees on wednesday. and then, towards the end of the week, the milder air gets pushed away, and what we are going to see is colder conditions coming in from the east. bye for now. the latest headlines from bbc news. i'm chris rogers. president trump says he's instructed border officials to check people entering the united states very carefully as his ban on travellers from seven mainly—muslim countries remains suspended. he said the courts who blocked the ban were making it difficult to secure america's borders.

the leader of the far—right national front in france, marine le pen, has launched her presidential campaign with a twin attack on globalisation and islamic fundamentalism. she told a party rally in the southern city of lyon that globalisation killed communities by slow asphyxiation. new england patriots have won their fifth super bowl title with record—breaking comeback to beat the falcons 34—28 in the first ever super bowl overtime. millions of americans and many more round the world tuned in to watch one of the most anticipated sporting events, which took place in houston. now on bbc news, dateline london.
