hello you're watching bbc world news. i'm adnan nawaz. our top story this hour: president trump's latest temporary travel ban is condemned by leading democrats who say it'll make the united states less safe. the trump administration described the new executive order on travellers from six mainly muslim countries, as a vital measure to protect us national security. welcome to the programme. our other main stories this hour: a controversial us defence system is deployed in south korea, a day after north korea conducted its latest missile tests. china targets traffic pollution as it promises to make the skies blue again but is it losing the battle against the smog? i'm sally bundock. in business: va va voom — the press are at the geneva motor show taking in the latest models but despite record sales profitability remains low in europe — we find out why.

and economic gloom for brazil as its set to reveal another year of recession. politicians promise it will end but it's already led to misery for millions of brazilians. president trump's revised travel ban on six majority—mulsim countries will come into effect on the 16th of this month. has finally signed his replacement executive order on immigration. it re—imposes travel restrictions on six muslim—majority nations. but the new order omits iraq, offers protection to people that already have green cards, and removes an indefinite ban on syrian refugees. democrats have criticised the plan. as nick bryant reports. 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 also 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 have visas, will not be subject to the ban. and 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 under an 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 do constitutional scholars think they have succeeded? there are still grounds to challenge this executive order. in fact, it's the same grounds they've had 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's going to 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 is un—american and those who believe it is necessary to protect the american homeland. veteran democrats including house minority leader nancy pelosi, said it weakened the fight against terror. whilst senator chuck schumer described the new temporary ban as un—american. the new executive order is still

mean—spirited, misguided and in my judgement goes against what america is all about in being a country that accepts and cherishes immigrants not disdains them. the us military has begun deploying a controversial missile defence system in south korea. it comes a day after north korea provoked international condemnation by firing four missiles towards japan. a statement by the us pacific command said the deployment would enhance the south's ability to defend itself against threats from pyongyang. steve evans is in seoulfor us. tell us more about the missile defence system 7 tell us more about the missile defence system? it is called thaad and it is basically a system of ray does and incoming resale detectors and then the missiles to destroy them — that is the theory. it was going to be like, very contentiously

in south korea, but they have brought it forward. they have started shifting part into a golf course south of seoul. china says it up course south of seoul. china says it up balances the power in this part of the world and it really does not like it. china has implemented some minor economic sanctions on the south korea. it has cut down on chinese tourists coming here, for example. there are investigations of regulation is currently of south korean companies in china associated with the deployment of thaad. it is very contentious. mr trump was on the phone to the leader of this country this morning saying we are going to bolster our alliance in the wa ke going to bolster our alliance in the wake of those missile launchers by

pyongyang and the first sign is flying in thaad. meanwhile, the death or potential murder of kim jong—nam at the epic continues. a few hours ago, north korea banned all malaysian citizens from leaving its country. malaysia has retaliated and imposed a travel ban on north korean is leaving malaysia. an emergency meeting is being called. saying this abhorrent act holding oui’ saying this abhorrent act holding our citizens hostage is in disregard of all international laws and diplomatic norms. it is amazing. the malaysian police chief said there we re malaysian police chief said there were two, maybe three, north koreans inside the north korean embassy in kuala lumpur that we want to talk to

about that murder. whether they are suspects or witnesses, they want to talk to them. that prompted the authorities in pyongyang the sake, 0k, authorities in pyongyang the sake, ok, you have people here and they cannot leave either. the malaysian police chief has said we are just going to wait for them. we know they in the embassy and we will wait for a long as long as it takes. as you say, you quote the malaysian prime minister saying that is in effect taking hostages. i gather there are 11 taking hostages. i gather there are ii malaysians in gunn yang and one imagines that they are all diplomats so imagines that they are all diplomats so what is basically happening is pyongyang is saying your diplomats are stuck here while our diplomats are stuck here while our diplomats are stuck here while our diplomats are stuck there. that is according to the malaysians not the way diplomatic treatment is normal or acceptable. abhorrent actually is a

word the malaysian prime minister use. in other news: three weeks of negotiating a new power—sharing deal in northern ireland have begun following last week's election. the main unionist and republican parties have almost the same number of seats after sinn fein made significant gains. arlene foster, the leader of the biggest unionist party, is refusing to step down despite sinn fein having already said they will not support her as first minister. police in queensland, australia, have rescued a british backpacker who the authorities allege had been held against her will for more than two months and raped by her kidnapper. the pair were driving through the state when they were stopped by police in the town of mitchell. the 22—year—old man has been charged with a number of offences. the british government is facing the prospect of another defeat in the house of lords over brexit today. peers are to vote on an amendment to the brexit bill calling for parliament to be given what's been described as a "meaningful" vote on a final deal. last week, the upper house voted to guarantee the rights of eu nationals already living in the uk.

nico, papa, sally? as the biggest names in the industry prepare to head to this year's geneva motor show, european carmakers could be forgiven for celebrating record—breaking sales figures. more than 15 million cars were sold in europe last year— that's the best result since the financial crisis. but a sneaky peak under the bonnet of the continent's automakers reveals a different story. yesterday, general motors sold its european businesses to the psa group — that's the company which owns peugeot and citroen. the deal highlights the gulf in profitability either side of the atlantic and it's a problem

that persists across much of the industry. in 2016, ford announced a profit margin of 9.7% in north america. this compares to just 4.2% in europe. it's a similar story for fiat—chrysler which has profit margins of 7.4% and 2.5% respectively. cars are an important export for many of europe's biggest economies. given that national elections are due to take place in france and germany later this year, european governments will be keen to keep their domestic car industries ticking over. but becoming more profitable. we will have lots for you from the geneva motor show. brazil is releasing its gdp numbers for 2016 today

and it's set to be a disaster, quite frankly. officials are likely to confirm that brazil's economy has been shrinking for the past 2a months. but the government believes the recession may be near the end and that the economy could be already growing in this first quarter of 2017. to ordinary brazilians, the long recession has been devastating and is still taking its toll. we will have a special report from brazil and the other business stories soon. the chinese government has declared its aim of making the skies blue again by tackling the country's air pollution crisis. the authorities want to reduce reliance on coal, and invest billions in renewable energy. and they're targeting emissions from cars by encouraging the use of greener vehicles. as part of a bbc series on tackling air pollution, our china editor carrie gracie reports from beijing. everything in china is on a massive scale, the problems and the solutions.

cars are to blame for about a third of china's air pollution, so it is scrapping the worst offenders. but this ritual in the wreckers' yard is a losing battle against 30 million new cars taking to the roads this year. if these people want clean air, then, from transport, to heating and lifestyle, they have to change their behaviour. china has to kick its addiction to fossil fuels. for this beijing couple, the morning commute is a his—and—hers divide. he is part of the problem, and she is part of the solution. meet little blue. harmful emissions — zero.

to beat the petrol heads, china subsidises electric vehicles and makes them much easier to license. 0n smoggy days, little blue does not face restrictions, like other cars, and she is proud to do her bit for clean air. translation: we all have to live in the city, and the pollution is terrible for our health and for beijing's image. but driving little blue, i don't have to feel guilty, even on smoggy days. i tell my friends they should get one, too. gathering winter fuel. to beat the smog, all the villages surrounding beijing have banned the burning of coal. and this 70—year—old farmer is forced back to the old ways. the fire heats their brick bed. the government did give them an electric heater,

but on their pensions, they cannot afford to switch it on much. winters are sub—zero here, but he tells me he is more worried about his electricity bill than about the cold or the smog. he is wearing thick layers of longjohns. beijing can clean the air when it wants to, like now, for the annual session of its rubber—stamp parliament. but it cannot do it for long, because despite the push for cleaner vehicles and cleaner heating, the chinese economy is still fuelled by coal. and, in the one—party state, there is little the public can do to force the politicians here to deliver air fit to breathe. carrie gracie, bbc news, beijing. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: we meet thailand's luckiest turtle, called bank, who swallowed nearly 1,000 coins and lived to tell the fishy tale. first, the plates slid gently off

the restaurant tables. then suddenly the tables, the chairs and people crashed sideways and downwards and it was a matter of seconds as the ferry lurched onto her side. the hydrogen bomb on a remote pacific atoll. the americans had successfully tested a weapon whose explosive force dwarfed that of the bomb dropped on hiroshima. i had heard the news earlier and so my heart went bang and bang. the constitutional rights of these marchers have their rights as citizens of the united states and they should be protected even in the right to test them out so they don't get their heads broken and are sent to hospital. this religious controversy, i know you don't want to say too much about it, but does it worry you it's going to boil up when you get to the stage?

well, it worries me, yeah. i hope everything will be all right in the end of the day. this is bbc world news. the latest headlines: president trump signs a revised travel ban against six mainly muslim countries, with some of the contentious aspects of the old order removed. the united states begins deploying a controversial defence system in south korea — a day after north korea conducted its latest missile tests. in the east african islands of zanzibar, districts and villages are surrounded by an array of pristine beaches. water is key for both transportation and economical activities such as fishing. while official drowning figures are not readily available, there is concern that such incidences are on the rise. now a local organisation panje in collaboration with a uk—based charity royal national lifeboat institute are training young people on survival swimming skills. and as our correspondent in tanzania sammy awami found out,

the programme has been widely welcomed in the islands training for survival. these girls, and boys, are part of the programme which is crucial in saving lives in islands where incidences of drowning are not uncommon. it has expanded now beyond survivor swimming. we saw it was an opportunity to educate the community about how to stay safe around at ward ha community about how to stay safe around at wardha and how to keep their children safe around water because we provide swimming instruction but we also provide instruction but we also provide instruction in the classrooms and the communities on water safety. the programme recruits children between the ages of seven and 1a from the local primary and secondary schools. of the children i spoke to told me

why they appreciate this training. translation: when i grow up i want to bea translation: when i grow up i want to be a fisherman. this swimming lesson will be very helpful because if you go down to the ocean and a vessel sinks, what will they do as they cannot even float? but for this, lessons will help me a lot. the children attend training sessions every day for 1h days and then a number of skills such as saving others and floating on their back. one of the things he did not know about me is that i cannot swim. so i'm joining the class. some of the young boys here, including me, a very slow learners. but one thing we

have in common is that we are not afraid to try. i must admit, i need at least a month to be able to even float. but for these children, in about two weeks time, around 70% will have graduated from this programme and add to the number of rescu e rs programme and add to the number of rescuers needed in these islands. the netherlands may be heading for a period of political turbulence next week as voters elect a new government. geert wilders, the anti—islam anti—eu firebrand is running almost neck—and—neck with conservative prime minister mark rutte. most muslims in the country are turkish or moroccan. we went to find speak to members of the morroccan community in the netherlands and find out how they feel about being the focus of the election campaign. in every debate i am the main subject. it is weird to have a leader who may be things of you as a (bleep) muslim. i.e. the —— i even

heard politicians refer to me as an oppressed woman and saying that making laws about the headscarf will syd ney making laws about the headscarf will sydney three. they forget that making rules makes them the oppressor. —— will set me free. i am a true amsterdam girl and there is no other place for me to go or where ican no other place for me to go or where i can feel like home. i think i'm the only moroccan with a dutch name. i had the only moroccan with a dutch name. ihada the only moroccan with a dutch name. i had a moroccan name but my employer could not pronounce it so he called me harms. politicians can say whatever they want. i am a moroccan but i feel completely dutch. in dutch we say that if the

farmer does not know something he will not like it. in the netherlands we speak about the moroccans as we used to speak about the jewish people in the 40s and 30s, you know? like we are the plague. they hate us, you know? they hate muslims and everything about us. but if you look at the dutch people, many of them are scared as well. there is a lot of fear. it has no substance. just one liners. while thes is like a comedian. sport now, and with 11 games to play, the english premier league title is chelsea's to lose. they won 2—1 at west ham on monday night. eden hazard and diego costa scored for the visitors before west ham got a goal in injury time. it's seven matches since chelsea lost in the league, and their manager is heading towards the title in his first season at the club. here's the fastest goal you'll see all season.

possibly ever. what a way for 23—year—old striker mirrai to score his first goal for his club comercial fc. they play in the lower divisions of the sao paulo championship in brazil. they must have seen that the opposing goalie came off his line at kick—offs, and so, what else do you do but put the ball over his head? thai surgeons had to perform emergency surgery on a turtle after they discovered it had eaten nearly 1000 coins. the operation on the sea turtle, which was kept at a conservation centre east of bangkok, is thought to have been the first of its kind and could have saved her life. caroline davies reports. the next time you throw a coin into waterfor luck, take a look at who you might be throwing it at. this turtle was found floating strangely in her pond. vets weren't sure what was wrong until they carried out a 3—d scan and found this — a pile of all the coins she had eaten, sitting in her stomach. it was so large, it wasn't only stopping herfrom swimming properly but had cause of the underside

of her shell to crack. translation: this is a female turtle that weighs about 59 kilograms and the coins, all together, weigh 5 kilograms, which accounts for about 10% of her weight. the 25 year—old turtle had eaten a total of 915 coins, in several currencies. vets worked for seven hours to remove each one. throwing money onto turtles is thought to bring long life in thailand. the chief surgeon said she was upset when they discovered what had caused the turtle's pain. translation: when i found out, i felt angry that humans, whether or not they meant to do it or if they did it without thinking, had caused harm to this turtle. the turtle is now recovering in hospital and it is hoped she will continue to live up to her nickname, 0msin, which in thai means "piggy bank". caroline davies, bbc news.

in kuala lumpurof in kuala lumpur of the north korean embassy has been surrounded. malaysians have been banned from leaving north korea and north korean is banned from leaving malaysia. 0ur website has more on this developing story. thank you for your company. the start of the week brought a mixture of sunshine and showers, but we were very close to some severe and potentially damaging weather. just across the way, in brittany, a gust approaching 120 mph. that area of low pressure brought us some rain in the south—west and the channel islands, and is running away across europe rapidly now, to bring more some snow to the alps, take some wetter weather across italy and to the adriatic, potentially bringing some damaging mistral winds to south—east france, and gusty winds into sardinia and corsica. here at home, things are very much quiter. the winds quite light, actually,

and a lot of the showers that we had earlier on are beginning to fade away. so we will see clearer skies developing, and it will be turning into quite a chilly night. ground frost, i think, in many places, and in the countryside there may be a pinch of air frost as well. so a chilly start to tuesday morning, but a dry and bright one for the most part. the showers along those north sea coasts tending to pull away. and instead we look to the west to see increasing amounts of cloud coming our way, and eventually some outbreaks of rain and drizzle, too. for most of the day, mainland scotland will be dry, but we will keep some showers going across the northern isles, towards lerwick, shetland in particular. and we will see the cloud increasing in scotland, ahead of this rain that arrives in northern ireland through the afternoon. it is mostly light and patchy. ahead of it, still dry across many central, northern and eastern parts of england. a decent enough day, the sunshine turning increasingly hazy as the cloud increases. and we will see some patchy rain coming into wales and the south—west of england as well. no great amounts during daylight hours. through the evening, the rain turns a bit heavier,

and briefly we could see a bit of snow in the scottish mountains. but the rain across northern parts of the country doesn't last too long. it is further south across england and wales where the rain grinds to a halt a bit overnight. that wil keep the temperatures up, leading to some misty weather and some hill fog. clearer skies to the north, and it will be turning a touch chilly. some stronger winds in the far north—west of scotland, perhaps, and a milder wind blowing across southern parts of england and wales, where we are more likely to keep some drizzly rain going through the day. so a bit of a damp and dreary sort of day, but decent temperatures. further north, though, it will be sunnier, and watch out for some heavy showers in the north—west later in the day in particular. brighter day for many other areas. a little sunshine, a few blustery old showers across northern parts of scotland. this is bbc world news. the headlines: president trump has signed his replacement executive order on immigration. it re—imposes 90 days of travel restrictions on six muslim—majority nations. but the new order omits iraq and removes an indefinite ban on syrian refugees.
