after an appeal went viral on social media. and wales take an early lead in the six nations at cardiff's principality stadium. good evening and welcome to bbc news. president trump says he may rewrite the executive order that attempted to ban people from seven mainly muslim countries from travelling to america. the president's initial executive order was overturned by the courts on the grounds it was considered unconstitutional. our correspondent, danjohnson, has this report. 0nce

once in court. but speaking on air force one, president revealed he is now considering other options. we will win that battle. we also have a lot of other options including just filing a brand—new order on monday. i like to keep you... i would like to surprise you. we need speed for reasons of security. it could very well be that we do that. but his tweet this morning showed he is still not happy with the judges. the original executive order was

signed at the end of his frantic first week. it immediately brought chaos to airport terminals and sparked protests across the country. it suspended american‘s refugee programme and bans travellers from seven majority muslim nations. exactly how the white house might rewrite the order is not clear. perhaps that is something donald trump is considering this weekend as he hosts the japanese by minister in florida. lawyers would almost certainly have to address the claim that the banners and constitutional in its current form because it discriminates by blocking entry to the us on the grounds of religion. as the went for a round of golf, the president reasserted that tough immigration controls are crucial to protect america. but for now people are free to travel. earlier i spoke to dr larry sabato, professor of politics at the university of virginia, and asked whether he expected the president to introduce

a new executive order. that appears to be the route the trump administration has chosen. they may still appeal the earlier court decisions to the supreme court. but i think they're more likely to issue a new executive order. and if they do that, how different will it have to be from the first order to avoid legal challenges? it must be substantially different. it will have to be much more carefully and narrowly tailored than the first one. even that may not pass muster in the courts. we'lljust have to see. can a president effectivelyjust keep issuing executive orders? how does it work? yes, a president can issue a new executive order at any time. he can revoke an executive order at any time. so this could continue for quite some time. it could be a game of ping pong. however, at some point, it's going to be obvious

to the courts the game that he's playing and there could be some reaction from the courts that would be very unpleasant for the president. what do you mean by that? well, like holding him in contempt. and that could lead to potentially an effort by democrats to impeach. they don't have a majority in either house of congress, so it wouldn't go anywhere. but the publicity would be certainly something that president trump would, one presumes, prefer to avoid. i appreciate you don't have a crystal ball, but it would be extraordinary if the president was to be impeached over this. is that really a possibility? not as long as the republicans control both houses of congress and they do at present. so it's simply an opportunity for democrats and maybe some republicans who are alienated from trump to state their case and to attract attention. a few congressmen have already broached the subject. but we're only three weeks

into the trump presidency. this is something for much later in the term. i understand. what is the, if anything, is the precedent for all of this? have we seen presidents before issuing executive orders which have then been challenged in the courts? 0ccasionally it has happened, but nothing as controversial as this executive order and never as early in a presidency as this. this has been quite a shock to everybody, though if you follow trump's career i don't know why it has been a shock. i'm interested how this is playing with the population at large in america. president trump himself has tweeted that he thinks this is one of his most popular policies. well, he's simply wrong, if you care about facts. sometimes the trump tweets have no relationship with the facts. every survey that has been taken by an independent, non—partisan agency has shown that a majority of americans or a solid

plurality oppose the president's executive order and his decision in this particular case. there's no question that many of trump's supporters and probably a solid majority of republicans favour what he is doing, but let's remember, he lost the popular vote substantially. he got 46% of the vote. and i've seen no evidence that this executive order or indeed many of the action that trump has taken have the support of more than 46%. generally they have less than 46% support. meanwhile, president trump is hosting the japanese prime what does he do with the immense this executive order? some are saying that crucial to any amendment

would be defining precisely the robert green cardholders, permanent legal resident in the united states. there was ambiguity about that, confusion resulting from that, with the first executive order, the original one. i think that lawyers would probably be looking to clear my clean that up. and also addressed this question of whether this ban goes against the constitution for the simple reason that it bars people from entry to the united dates on the grounds of their religion. but there are does as well here you are saying that drafting a new executive order is not the sort of thing that donald trump allows himself to become involved in. it plays into the hands of his critics who basically are saying that this first signature move, this executive order, signed at the end of that first frantic week in office, was flawed and that he is rethinking it. that's something he doesn't want to

be seen to be doing. what is your reading of the significance of the meeting between donald trump and the japanese president? undoubtedly following their meeting yesterday, which was apparently very cordial, they will be getting down in amongst they will be getting down in amongst the golfing today, to discuss things like trades. that's a concern because one of the first things donald trump did on taking office was terror up the transpacific partnership. that is the trade deal that barack partnership. that is the trade deal that ba rack 0bama partnership. that is the trade deal that barack 0bama had helped negotiate. that leaves no bilateral trade agreements in place between the united states and japan. to the concern of the japanese prime ministers. those sort of things will be discussed. i think it will also be discussed. i think it will also be concerned about that phone call that was made between donald trump

and the chinese premier. basically confirming that america is behind the one china policy. there is tension in the region between china andjapan. tension in the region between china and japan. lots to discuss on the golf course. campaigners say hundreds of undocumented immigrants have been arrested in the us in the past few days, in what they say is a new enforcement surge under the trump administration. immigration officials say the raids are no more than routine round—ups of immigrants with criminal records and deportation orders — and that such actions also took place under previous administrations. jean—claude juncker says he doubts that the remaining 27 members of the european union can maintain a united front as they negotiate britain's exit. in an interview with german radio, to be broadcast tomorrow, the president of the european commission said there could be divisions in the bloc over the future relationship with the uk. he also reiterated that britain could not negotiate trade deals as long as it remained a member

of the eu. earlier i spoke to our political correspondent, chris mason it has been reported by reuters this afternoon, this interview. he expressed publicly his concerns about how negotiations might go from the perspective of the european union and the 27 remaining member states. what is quite interesting is that inevitably here in the uk, we look at the forthcoming negotiations through the prism of what the british government may or may not be able to achieve, the excitement expressed by some about the possibilities and fears expressed by others. why this interview is interesting is imagining it from the perspective of brussels on the other side of the channel. whatjuncker said in his interview, the other countries don't know it yet but the brits know very well how

they can tackle this. they could promise country a this, country b that and the endgame the concern in brussels. they have to maintain some semblance of a united front. conscious that that is the very nature of the european union. but also aware that individual countries around the negotiating table will have their own agendas and their own hoped for outcomes. why do you think he has made these comments now? i think this falls into the category of the pre—negotiation rhetoric that we are seeing on both sides. brussels has made it clear from the outset that there can't be any formal associations as far as brexit is concerned until there is the so—called triggering of article 50, the formal mechanism starting a country's departure from the european union. that's going to happen in the next month or so. it's in the interests of all sides in negotiation prior to its starting to talk quite tough,

but also in this instance to try and acknowledge what might be weaknesses in the hope that they had witnesses come the negotiation itself. i guess it is to an extent a statement of the obvious that the biggest potential weakness for a bloc of 27 is that the country they are negotiating with tries to prise them apart, but the fact that he is willing to say it is an insight into a sense that he acknowledges that could be a problem. the process to exit the eu starts within weeks. do we have any sense of what happens when that starting gun is fired? the expected timetable from here on is that there is going to be a summit is coming up in brussels in march. the expectation is that shortly after that, maybe at it, in the early couple of weeks of march, the uk could effectively lodge the letter with the eu that says we are formally starting the withdrawal. the prime minister has been saying it would happen

before the end of march. right at the very end of march is a big anniversary, the anniversary of the signing of the treaty of rome. we can assume it wouldn't be particularly diplomatic to trigger around that time. after that, we get into the nitty—gritty. labour frontbenchers who defied jeremy corbyn in the commons brexit vote will be sent a formal written warning but they will not be sacked. mr corbyn had ordered his mps to vote with the conservatives to back brexit. but 52 labour mps rebelled in wednesday's vote, including ilijunior frontbenchers. clive lewis, who quit as shadow business secretary over the vote, has said rumours of a leadership bid by him were "fantasy". veterans have welcomed the government's decision to disband the team investigating allegations

of abuse made against british troops in iraq. a report yesterday blamed the ministry of defence for allowing law firms to bring cases on "an industrial scale", many of which were not backed by evidence. the unit has cost the uk taxpayer £34m so far, but costs were predicted to reach nearly £60m had it remained active until 2019. campaigners have delivered a petition at downing street with fifty thousand signatures calling for theresa may to allow more child refugees to come to britain. the government this week scrapped its plan to re—home thousands of unaccompanied children from syria and other warzones. three hundred and fifty youngsters have been accepted for resettlement in the uk. the campaign has been led by lord dubs, who came to britain as a refugee from the nazis at the age of six. the argument for child refugees today is a humanitarian argument.

it doesn't depend upon the person who's putting the case. however, because i came to this country in that way, i have an emotional involvement with it. can i say this, this country's been wonderful to me in terms of the welcome i received and the opportunities i've had. i would like other unaccompanied child refugees coming here to have the same warm welcome and to be given the same opportunities. a 15 year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a teenager was stabbed in leeds. the police believe the attack may have been filmed on mobile phones. the victim, a 16—year—old boy, was found stabbed in harehills lane yesterday afternoon; he died later in hospital. the headlines on bbc news: presidentjohn says he may rewrite the travel ban on people from the seven mainly muslim countries after

his initial attempt was blocked by the courts. the european union could fracture in brexit negotiations with britain, according to the eu president. lord dubs delivers a petition to downing street calling on the government to act that more unaccompanied child refugees after it closed a resettlement scheme. thousands of british school children are to be offered lessons in cyber—security. it's to encourage more teenagers to pursue a career in britain defending against online attacks. here's tom symonds: daniel kelly's a convicted teenage hacker, facing a jail sentence. in 2015, he took part in the massive digital break—in at the phone company talk talk. but what if his potential had been harnessed at an earlier age? he might have ended upjoining a new breed of apprentices learning the cyber security trade like these at bt‘s headquarters. with that in mind, the government

is putting up £20 million, for nearly 6,000 schoolchildren aged 14 and above to take four hours of cyber security lessons after school each week. we think that will help seriously with this shortage of cyber skills that we've got. now, of course, we will always keep it under review, in case this needs to get bigger, but getting it going on that scale, i think shows serious ambition to make sure that we can have the pipeline of talent that we will need in the years ahead. while the police are stepping up the fight, this is not a threat which can be defeated on the ground by raiding the hackers. the cyber crime battlefield will be online and britain's gchq will be its command centre. 58,000 people are now employed in the growing anti—hacking industry. but more will be needed and the government knows it has to start finding them when they are young. clashes in the iraqi capital, baghdad, between the security forces

and supporters of a powerful shia muslim cleric have left at least five people dead. the trouble began with a demonstration against corruption by tens of thousands of protesters waving iraqi flags. alan johnston reports huge numbers of demonstraters convergd on a square in the heart of baghdad. they chanted anti—government slogans. they complained of corruption and demanded changes to a commission which oversees elections. then some protesters tried to move towards a nearby area known as the green zone, which houses government ministries. riot police were determined to drag them back, and the deadly violence erupted. video images from the scene show tear gas filling the air and the sound of explosions and gunfire can be heard. another 240 pilot whales have become stranded

in a remote bay in new zealand — in what conservationists say is the country's biggest beaching for 100 years. the pod is thought to include some of the one hundred whales who were rescued from the same area yesterday. 300 whales have died in recent days. you might find some of the scenes in this report by kathryn distressing. doing whatever they can to help before it's too late. these volunteers have been working for many hours, trying to keep the whales cool as they lie stranded. some say singing also helps to keep them calm, but what they really need is high tide. very quickly this tide has come racing in, and now we're all up to our knees, some people are up to their waists in water, and we're starting to get a bit of floating, and we're just helping assist the whales with their breathing until the water gets deep enough they can swim. this is one of the worst whale strandings in new zealand's history. 400 whales came into

farewell spit on thursday. rescuers managed to refloat 100 of them, but they failed to stop another stranding of 240. scientists don't know for sure why beaching happens. the whales could simply have become lost. one theory is that if a single whale gets stuck, others follow its distress signal. but once it has happened, it can lead to devastation. for those ones that restrand there's very little chance they will ever swim away, so we have to euthanise those ones there. we do hope they coral their resources and head back out to sea. it's very difficult to manage that part of it, but dealing with the ones that are let is quite an issue. efforts are stood down overnight for safety reasons, but the logistics of trying to save these whales and then dealing with the aftermath if they can't will start again tomorrow. kathryn stanczyszyn, bbc news. hundreds of cyclists have staged a "die—in" protest in central london to raise concerns about road safety.

bicycles were wheeled down whitehall to the treasury by campaigners calling for increased government spending to protect cyclists and pedestrians. frankie mccamley has this report. in front of the treasury holding one minute's silence. despite the freezing weather these cyclists and pedestrians are here to pay tribute to those killed on the roads. and to call for change. london's filthy air is killing 25 londoners a day and that needs to change. the second thing we are asking for is 10% of the transport budget by 2020 to be spent on cycling and walking infrastructure to make our streets fit for people. this week has been the deadliest week so far in the capital, with three cyclists and two pedestrians being killed.

pollution in the capital. victoria lost a leg after she was hit by a lorry. i was in hospitalfor six months, and then i was off work for a long time. these are life changing injuries. i'm missing a leg. it has been massively affecting. it's really important that we do this march because the people in charge need to hear that we need to make some changes. the mayor of london says he is determined to make cycling saferfor londoners, addressing the most dangerous junctions, increasing the number of cycle lanes and removing dangerous lorries from the streets. as forfunding, the department for transport insisted it's spending millions improving cycle safety. protesters here may not agree with those current plans but the hope all parties share is that fewer lives are destroyed by road accidents in the future. there's to be a highly unusual auction on tuesday,

which will sell gadgets belonging to british secret agents — who worked behind enemy lines during the second world war. the ‘special operations executive' were based on baker street and had their ‘laboratory‘ in the cellars of the natural history museum. robin gibson has been looking at the gadgets on offer. they looked like props for a vintagejames bond movie. 0ddball gear designed by white coated boffins that spend their days thinking up bizarre weapons and secret gadgets to break their agents on the ground out of one tight spot or another. to the naked eye, this looks like an ordinary fountain pen. when it unscrews, it reveals quite a sinister dagger. this would have been used by an agent if need be to either fight his way out of a corner or to eliminate an enemy sentry. this watch concealed a microphone to record conversations, a garrot made ofjagged wire conveys its horrific use. they all date back to the second world war and were issued

to agents and commandos dropped behind enemy lines. the items range from the gruesome to the incredibly ingenious. what about these, for example? here is a uniform badge which unscrews to reveal a compass useful for escaping raf pilot. what about this? a key. the end unscrews to leave a compartment useful for a coded message perhaps. or some sort of suicide pill. what sort of person buys it? people who buy this stuff are historians. they are keeping it for historical, to keep the story of these people alive. edward toms, who is now 96 and lives in hythe, was attached to both the sas and the special operations executive during world war ii. we all had buttons that could be used as compasses. the soe laboratory was in the natural history museum museum cellar and it was where all these gadgets were being invented and tested.

murderous weapons may not be everybody‘s cup of tea, not least as the auction takes place on valentine's day, but the collection is expected to go for thousands of pounds. an egyptian woman weighing 500 kilograms has arrived in india for weight reduction surgery. the family of 36—year—old woman described it was the first time she had left home for 25 years. she was lifted by a crane along with her bed as she arrived at the hospital in mumbai. her treatment is expected to last two to three months, as experts try to bring her weight to 100

kilograms. some good news — a 150—year—old family wedding dress that went missing after a dry cleaners went bust has been found. tess newall launched a campaign on social media to find the garment after the shop where it had been taken to be cleaned, closed down. the dress, which has belonged to her family since 1870, was given to the 29—year—old by her grandmother to wear on her wedding day lastjune. good evening. for most of us are bleak, cold saturday. there has been some sunshine. across the far north of scotla nd some sunshine. across the far north of scotland is, quite beautiful here. for most of us, grey as chilly. some of the light stuff down here. a good layer of snow earlier on in the day. some snow to come from some of us into the night. most of it initially all the way up the

hills. into the night, falling to lower levels across eastern counties of england. continuing to pile up across the higher parts of the pennines. cold with temperatures hovering close to freezing wherever you are. the risk of some ice around for sure. not much brightness in the sky. a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. snow down to quite low levels in some places, eastern counties and the peak district and pennines. we could see the snow disrupting some routes. further north and west, northern ireland and scotland, not so northern ireland and scotland, not so much snow. some of the best of the sunshine will be across the far north—west of scotland again. for most other places, a cloudy day. the chill accentuated by that brisk easterly winds. the snow up over the peak district and pennines. elsewhere mostly rain and sleet at lower levels. a bit drier across the south—east. the best of the sunshine

across the far north—west. nowhere will be warm. temperatures about two or three degrees at best. we have the rugby continuing down in france. scotla nd the rugby continuing down in france. scotland will be playing. a chilly day with some sleet in the air. but there are signs of change as we get into the early part of next week. a very windy day on monday. gales and some western areas, is increasing amounts of sunshine. but in itself will make it feel less chilly, particularly across southern areas. double figures and a few spots. but the blues get shunted away and the message is, through next week, we will see a warming trend. it will ta ke will see a warming trend. it will take some time for that mild error to get a cap —— to get established. less cold might be the right phrase to use. by midweek, some places could feel quite springlike in the sunshine.
