3:01 am
it unanimously rejected the administration's claim of presidential authority and questioned its motives. the ban was suspended last week by a judge in seattle after two us states argued it was unconstitutional. well, moments after the ruling, president trump responded defiantly, tweeting: a little later he had this to say about the decision. it's a political decision and we'll see them in court and i look forward to it. you believe it's the wrong decision? we have a situation where the security of our country is at stake and it's a very serious situation, so we look forward as i just said to seeing them in court. do you think this is a problem, being such a core issue, and being early in your presidency? this is a decision that came down, but we are going to win the case. have you conferred with your

new attorney general? no, i haven't, wejust heard. how did you find out? we just saw it, just like you did. in the news, the media? but it's a decision we will win, in my opinion, very easily. the washington state attorney general who initially filed the lawsuit against mr trump said: we have seen him in court, twice. he then explained the importance of the ruling. the law is not an instruction. this is fundamental to who we are as a people. when an executive order is adopted like this with little thought, little planning, little oversight, that creates chaos throughout our country that has a real impact on people's lives here and abroad. real impacts. and as attorneys and as professional staff who work for a public law firm like this, this is something we keep in mind every day,

that it may seem like, what's going on? they're talking about all that procedural stuff. behind that procedural stuff and those constant revisions, at the end of the day it is about people's lives and the impact on their lives and the future of our country and our constitution. david willis is our correspondent in washington and he said it was a big setback. president trump is learning early on the limitations. the us appeals court and say this was an go —— unconditional but it said this ban was not necessary to protect national security, from the threat of terrorism. the three justices making the point in their 29 page unanimously ruling, that there was
3:04 am
no evidence that anyone from any of those seven nations on this watchlist, if you like, had carried out a terrorist attack in the united states. the appeals court therefore refusing to lift the temporary restraining order that was put in place by the districtjudge in seattle last week. now, that means that refugees from around the world and citizens from the seven nations, who were mentioned in that executive order, can continue to come to the us, until this matter is settled once and for all by the courts. and quite possibly by the highest court in the land, the us supreme court. donald trump says "see you in court". where might he take this next? what are his next steps? it does look, as i mentioned, like this could go all the way to the us supreme court. he dismissed this decision by the appeals court in seattle today, describing it as "political" and he said,
3:05 am
"see you in court", on twitter, stressing that he is confident that his administration will prevail in this case. meanwhile, the attorney general of washington state, bob ferguson, washington being one of two states that brought this case against the us government in seattle, he called on the president to withdraw this executive order and vowed to continue to hold donald trump accountable to the us constitution. but this, make no mistake, is a considerable setback for the trump administration, bearing in mind that immigration and protecting the country against the threat of what donald trump called "radical islamic terrorism" were both centrepieces of his run for the office of president of the united states. the director of the migration policy

institute at new york university's school of law, who also works as a lawyer on us immigration at a federal and state level, joins us now. thanks for your time. how do you think this ruling might impact on people thinking of coming to the us? will we see a rise in people coming? i think it ends the confusion that has pursued in the last two weeks about travellers from all over the world, especially travellers from the seven countries that were named in the executive order, and refugees who were processed to enter and are now relu cta nt to processed to enter and are now reluctant to enter. for the lives of those people it's a big change and we will see that travel back to normal. do you think we are likely to see an upsurge at all?” normal. do you think we are likely to see an upsurge at all? i think we will see a large number of people from those countries who were intending to enter the us, but had
3:07 am
postponed that decision, we'll try to enter as soon as possible, because given the confusion over the last two weeks they would not be sure as to when this ban may be put in place again, so they would rather meet the deadline if this ban was put into effect again. donald trump said this decision was political and as president he is well within his rights and the court has overreached. what do you think?‘ lot of people would argue that every issueis lot of people would argue that every issue is a political decision. this issue is a political decision. this is clearly a decision issued by one of the high court of the country, the second—highest, and this was a unanimous decision. these were judges who were appointed both by republicans and democrats. people have to live with the decisions that we re have to live with the decisions that were made. i think the court in this particular case was keen to point

out that assertions of national security are subject to review by courts, that you can't take the word of the president in saying that national security is at stake, the courts are responsible under our constitutional democracy to second—guess that. constitutional democracy to second-guess that. i suppose the president doesn't really have to live with it, does he? he can appeal and he could even rip up the executive order and start again, couldn't he? he has a couple of choices. he can go to the full court of appeals of the ninth circuit, and ask to this 5 court i court 2 e: a we review of thiserder. ante—believe review of thisrereer. ante—believe is more likely, that he will go review of thisrereer. ante—believe is rto e likely, that he will go review of thisrereer. ante—believe is rto the zely, that he will go review of thisrereer. ante—believe is rto the supreme he will go review of thisrereer. ante—believe is rto the supreme court, go review of thisrereer. ante—believe is rto the supreme court, and supreme court as sl then 5 court as sl then we rurt as sl then we will as sl then we will be back at lifted. then we will be back at square one. thank you so much for your time. romania'sjustice

thrown at an opposition leader called in a scoundrel because of corruption allegations. we look at the story. the gloom here in port elizabeth can feel relentless. it's a rough city, worn down by corruption and neglect, and a revealing place tojudge south africa's future. the failures here are easy to spot. this place has become known as toilet valley. the neighbourhood was supposed to house thousands of poor families. somehow, the toilets got built, but no homes. they tell us we're going to get houses in three months' time. it's three years now. three years that you've had this beautiful toilet that doesn't work, and no house? no house. no wonder people are losing patience. as the poor struggle here, the powerful are looting with impunity. it's negligence from those who have been entrusted to deal with the public purse. more than that, it's corruption.

well, it boils down to corruption. you can't run away from it. it's the same story with these buses, which have sat unused in a depot since they were brought in for the 2010 world cup. the corruption here is quite breathtaking. this one bus scandal alone has cost the city more than £100 million, and that's just a fraction of what has been lost or stolen here. to many in south africa, the blame goes all the way
