welcome to bbc news. president trump has announced a new travel ban to prevent citizens from a number of predominantly muslim countries entering the united states. it's a revised version of the ban which was blocked by the courts last month. this time iraq is not on the list, and the wording has been changed to try to avert any legal challenges. the us attorney—generaljeff sessions claimed all six countries were connected directly or indirectly to terrorism. our north america correspondent nick bryant has the latest. there was applause when president trump signed the first executive order, but it caused anger, chaos and confusion at america's airports as the travel ban on entrants from seven mainly muslim countries was hurriedly put into effect but the us courts blocked it opening

the borders, delivering an embarrassing rebuke to president trump. so today he signed a revised ban with unusually little fanfare. the washington press corps not invited to witness it and this photograph taken instead by a white house staffer. he left it to a senior administration officials to sell one of his signature policies. it is the president's solemn duty to protect the american people. and with this order president trump is exercising his rightful authority to keep our people safe. whilst citizens from somalia, sudan, syria, iran, libya and yemen are still affected, iraq, unlike last time, is not on the list. people with legal residency in the us who are holders of green cards and those who already had visas will not be subject to the ban. syrian refugees originally banned indefinitely are not singled out for harsher treatment. the trump administration claims some refugees pose a potential terror threat. in fact, today more than 300 people, according to the fbi, who came here as refugees,

are underan fbi investigation today for potential terrorism—related activities. by delaying its implementation until later in the month the white house is hoping to avoid a repeat of the botched roll out of the original travel ban. removing iraq, a key ally, is designed to make it more politically palatable for republican critics. and the trump administration has tried to make it legally watertight. but to constitutional scholars think they have succeeded? there are still grounds to challenge this executive order. in fact, they are the same grounds as before, it willjust be more difficult. none of this means that courts could not strike this town or issue a restraining order, it's just that it will be tougher. this has fewer edges. the muslim neighbourhoods of america such

as this one in michigan, the travel ban affects family members and friends. and many complain it also marginalises them. it's really sad because it's affecting a lot of people and it's going to hurt a lot of people. i think it's a wrong decision. i wish he would teach us how to love each other more and be more peaceful, do not say this group is bad, that group is bad. america has long celebrated its welcoming tradition towards immigrants, symbolised by the statue of liberty. but opinion on the travel ban exposes deep divisions here between those who protest it's un—american and those who believe it's necessary to protect the american homeland. there are concerns about the future of around 4,500 people who work at vauxhall plants in the uk after the business was bought by a french car company. psa, which already owns peugeot and citroen, has agreed a deal to buy vauxhall in britain and opel in germany forjust under £2 billion. vauxhall has two factories — in luton and ellesmere port. unions say the fight begins now to try safeguard jobs.

here's our industry correspondentjohn moylan. vauxhall‘s vast plant at luton, the centre of gm's but soon what happens he will be decided in france. it has many people worried. i myself have been here for 30 years. i looked over when they bought other plans. they did not go as well as people fought them. so we will have to see what happens. it does not sound like a terrible thing for us. it sounds like he is working to keep ourjobs. if he keeps his word, everyone will be happy. the deal would if he keeps his word, everyone will be happy. the dealwould make if he keeps his word, everyone will be happy. the deal would make them the biggest carmaker in europe after va u lts the biggest carmaker in europe after vaults bargain. across europe, the psa group has 14 production sites with 49,000 psa group has 14 production sites with 19,000 workers. it is buying gm europe, known as opel, including its

place outside the uk, and 38,000 employees. it includes plants in luton and ellesmere port and their fought a half—dozen staff. gm europe is not turned a profit since 1999. but its new owners have cast laich this will change all that. —— 4,500. this is a result of a four—year joint—venture with peugeot, and devastated that because that is can be found. what about job security at vauxhall‘s plans? the boss has promised to ensure that existing production guarantees. he said after that the workers' future were in their hands. i trust my vauxhall employees in the uk. i trust them. i know that they are skilled. i know that they are dedicated. i know that they are committed. and i trust that they are committed. and i trust that they will be in a very good position by working in a constructive and

open manner. as long as we improve the performance and become the best, there is no risk they should feel. here at els airport, the vauxhall last ride has been rolling off the production line since the 1980s. but to secure its future, younis two owners know they must develop a vehicle from the plant in the next few years. —— but to secure its future, the owners know they must. the conversations that i and the primers have had both with gm and psa tell me that they intend to safeguard the pies, honour their commitments, and look to increase the performance and the sales of cars. so we want to hold them to those commitments. what is it meant vauxhall‘s plans? there could be charis when we leave this idyll parker, make it a more expensive. ——

when we leave the single market. —— tariffs. the former boss of gm's european operations as this could be a make or break issue for vauxhall‘s pla nts a make or break issue for vauxhall‘s plants if the new group needs to make cuts. there will be access capacity and the uk is in a week, brother to the weak position, compared to other european countries. not because the plans are inefficient. they are. theyjust don't have enough components purchased here, soap is the cost of the carup purchased here, soap is the cost of the car up because they need to import so many components. britain's auto sector has been a huge success story. but the creation of this new european car giant could present major challenges. security services have prevented i3 potential terror attacks in britain since 2013. that's according to the uk's most senior counter—terrorism officer. assistant commissioner

mark rowley said there were 500 live investigations at any one time and appealed for help from the public. in france, leaders from the main centre—right party have backed francois fillon as their candidate in next month's presidential election, despite his troubled campaign. mr fillon has been accused of misusing public funds, but this evening his party colleagues "unanimously" renewed their support for his candidature, following a discussion about the allegations which have clouded the fillon campaign. our alec ross bonded in paris told us our alec ross bonded in paris told us what others might affect the other candidates. it probably won't make things easier for rent at them. she properly hoping to inherit some of his supporters if he stood down. on the other hand, the party has worked to do two drawbacks of a

centrist voters who might have drifted towards emmanuel macron. and that could be difficult. precisely long is under investigation. he is still something of an make a gamble. but the party has problems. the first problem is they do not have time. they need to confirm their canada by next week. the second is that mr fillon would sibley nocco. no matter how bad things got, it is simply said he would not stand down. that has somewhat forced the party's hand. that is something that he repeated and i before going into the meeting, and it looked like he went into that wall. the presidential race is still open. a zoo in cumbria, where nearly 500 animals died within four years, has been ordered to close. the owner of south lakes safari zoo where a tiger keeper was mauled to death in 2013 was refused a new licence to operate by the local authority. he now has four weeks to appeal against the decision,

as our correspondent danny savage reports. south lake safari zoo. conditions for some of the animals here have been so bad it's now been ordered to close. the problem is animal welfare. an inspection in january found poor accommodation, uncontrolled breeding, and exotic animals living in unheated, rat—infested conditions. we've had reports from the public over many years that we've obviously chased up with the council with animals having head injuries, from feeding experiences where people have been absolutely disgusted at the state of them. it's just been an ongoing issue with animal welfare, really, and neglect for even the most basic needs. the zoo has been dogged with trouble for years. a keeper, 24—year—old sarah mcclay, was killed by a tiger in 2013. her brother believes it should have closed them. all the reports over

the past week have said 500 animals died in the past four years. it's four years ago that sarah died. so if you'd closed the zoo down after an employee had died them all this mistreatment of animals wouldn't have come out. i think it should have been closed down four years ago. it wasn't and now look what's happened to all those animals. the man refused a licence to run the zoo today is david gill, described by inspectors as being desperate to keep control here one way or another. and it was david gill's attitude towards the number of animal deaths which concerned inspectors. they say he didn't seem to have a problem with it, and a keeper told the inspection team that their instructions were to dispose of bodies and not tell anyone about them. david gill says he no longer wants to operate the zoo but without his license the new company now running it can't function. so the site is now facing closure and the animals may need new homes.

danny savage, bbc news, south cumbria. that's a summary of the news, newsday is coming up at midnight. now on bbc news it's time for newsnight. it's budget day on wednesday. the chancellor will set out his plans. but as mike tyson famously said, everyone has a plan until they get a smack in the mouth. phillip hammond knows brexit hangs over everything right now. but can he carry on the job of getting borrowing down? i think the public sector is coming to the point where there are going to be large social costs from increasing amounts of public sector austerity. we'll ask if austerity has gone as far as it can go, after seven yea rs. also tonight, the netherlands prepares for parliamentary elections. is an anticipated far right surge also an identity crisis for a supposedly relaxed and liberal country? what are dutch values? we are all equal.

that is the good thing about the carnival. right. what about the rest of the time? it is a bit different. we are not so tolerant any more. and... hey, y'all. i heard somebody say something about obamagate. what? looks like it's time for us to investigate! mmm—hmm. we'll hear from president trump's more unusual internet cheerleaders, diamond and silk. hello. this is budget week. on wednesday the chancellor phillip hammond will take to the dispatch box, and set out his plan for taxes, for borrowing, for spending, for improving british productivity, on preparing for brexit. it's a strange one — perhaps the strangest for a while. brexit offers an excuse for a pause on painful decisions, but at some point, if the chancellor is to match the aims set out by his party, he'll have to find a way to get borrowing down. more public spending

cuts are already written into the government's projections, just as article 50 is about to hit us — for good or ill. now helping out is the fact that the economic news has been good since late last year. but unfortunately he can't rely on bags of money falling from the sky, and that means this is not an easy time to be chancellor. sometimes you want a safe pair of hands at number 11, a man who does not try to steal the limelight. just gets on with the job. this is probably one of those times and in the last few days, he has been out and about, sensibly managing expectations of this week's budget. if your bank increases your credit card limit, i don't think you feel obliged to go out and spend every last penny of it immediately. it depends on your temperament.
