mrjohnson and the home secretary amber rudd have been ordered by the prime minister to telephone callmerican counterparts to express the british view. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has called for a proposed state visit by president trump to be called off, until the ban is lifted. president trump has denied the measure is aimed at muslims, and says it's ‘working out nicely‘. his executive order halted the entire us refugee programme and also instituted a 90—day travel ban for nationals from iran, iraq, libya, somalia, sudan, syria and yemen. suza na mendonca reports. protests have spread across america's airports ever since donald trump's travel ban came into force. at the time, theresa may was in turkey for trade talks, where she failed to criticise the ban when asked about it repeatedly. well, the united states is responsible for the united states' policy on refugees. the united kingdom is responsible for the united kingdom's policy on refugees. hours after landing back in britain, number ten issued a statement, insisting the prime minister did not agree with this kind of approach.

the home secretary, amber rudd, said it was "divisive," and could be used as propaganda by the islamictate group. she spoke after the president of the european council, donald tusk, had listed the trump administration alongside china, russia and islamic extremism as a threat to the future of the eu. this report from washington by our north america editor, jon sopel. four days since president tramp signed the extreme vetting policy and the administration is trying to clarify whether it was a ban or a pause, who was consulted, who will be affected and what the executive order is and is not. it was left to the secretary of homeland security to offer reassurance. this is not, i repeat, not a ban on muslims. the homeland security mission is to safeguard the american people, our homeland, our values, and religious liberty is one of our most fundamental and treasured values. donald trump was today meeting leaders from the pharmaceutical industry after last night delivering a lethal injection to the country's most senior law officer, the acting attorney general. it's already being dubbed the "

opposition to the travel ban grows, we know what amber rudd thinks of it.st it, and also we have one of the powerful, richest tech barons in the united states, the founder of amazon who has put his weight behind it. for a while the tech companies were on the defence. traditionally firmly supportive of the democratic party, and when trump was elected they went to trump tower, met with him and realised that especially companies like google who have contributed to individuals greatly as democratic candidates they had to make friends with the new administration. that's lasted about five seconds and what happened was with this ban huge numbers... in silicon valley there basically no that doesn't have a relative or family member or a colleague or themselves if they came from another country so it is almost next essential threat to a key part of the american economy. they are fighting back. isn't thisjust the liberal left again as far as trump supporters are concerned ? liberal left again as far as trump supporters are concerned? getting hot and bothered about som

president trump's travel ban, theresa may tells the foreign secretary boris johnson and home secretary amber ruddout the implications for british citizens. 0pposition leaders have called for the president's planned state visit to the uk to be cancelled unless the ban is lifted. i'm not happy with him coming here until the ban is lifted because look at what is happening with those countries, how many more is it going to be? and what will be the long—term effect of this on the rest of the world? and a usjudge issues a temporary halt to the deportation of visa holders and refugees as demonstrators protest at airports across america. in yemen us commandos have carried out a raid — killing at least 30 suspected al-qaeda fighters and civilians. also in the next hour: ..we'll have the latest from the australian open as roger federer beats his long standing rival rafael nadal to take the title.

the home secretary amber rudd has taken the government's criticism of president trump's controversialtizens from seven mainly muslim countries from travelling to the united states a step further today. she told mps it's notjust divisive and wrong, but could end up helping so—called islamic state in its mission to recruit supporters to its cause. her words came amid worldwide protests against the ban, and a petition here, signed by nearly 1.7 million people, calling for a state visit by mr trump to be cancelled. here's our diplomatic correspondent james robbins. days of protest across britain focused first on president trump's travel bans, then on the early state visit offered to him by theresa may. the government calls the travel bans divisive and wrong, now the home secretary has gone further, suggesting the president's actions might play into the hands of the extremists, so—called islamic state or daesh. isil and daesh will use any opportunity they can to make difficulties to create the environment that they want to radicalise people, to bring them over to their side. so it is a pro

the home secretary amber rudd replying there.d on ministers to reverse cuts in funding, which they say have had a knock—on effect on the whole of the national health service in england. raising the matter at question time in the lords, lady mcdonagh said the government had cut the social care budget by nearly £2 billion. it is the case that the government have cut £1.8 billion to social care during this period, which has led to the escalation of the £2.5 billion in nhs debt. i don't know whether it's through incompetence or ideology but the government has set about providing us with the most expensive and the worst system of care for the elderly in the western world. can i ask the noble lord the minister whether he would use all his powers of persuasion to do what the chancellor wanted to do last year and persuade the prime minister to put more money into local authorities for social care? it will save lives and money. there are a million more over 65—year—olds than there were in 2010. the social care is under a lot of pressure,

that downing street is saying that both the foreign secretary borisjohnson and the home secretary amber ruddned their american counterparts and you make what is called representations about the us travel ban. diplomatic term that is upping the ante, if two members of the british cabinet are wringing their american opposite numbers, presumably it is less likely given what the official line now is on the government is to say it is fully supporting this, it is more likely to express the reservations that had been provided, boris johnson to express the reservations that had been provided, borisjohnson saying that it been provided, borisjohnson saying thatitis been provided, borisjohnson saying that it is divisive and wrong. we will see what us reaction is as the day progresses. at 35 years old, roger federer has become a champion for the 18th time. he got victory against rafa nadal. we turn out to the bbc sports centre and he is back! he's back in style! he is committed he? nobody saw this coming, not least roger federate himself. he said at the start of the tournament at the start of the final,

the home secretary, amber rudd, today issued a stark message about president trump's immigration ban,e. but a reuters poll tonight shows that more 49% of americans agree with it, whilst a1% of them are opposed. this evening, in washington, democrats walked out of congressional hearings, in essence choosing to boycott the appointment of steve mnuchin as treasury secretary. later this evening, we will hear trump's choice for the supreme court, a decision which bears enormous cultural weight in america and is often bitterly divisive. here's our diplomatic editor, mark urban. the trump administration wants to move on from the entry ban story, not least because it believes that the president has done no more than implement a policy he campaigned on. he has an agenda that he articulated clearly to the american people. and it is his job to lay out that vision and the people he appoints and nominates and announces as staff members, theirjob is to fulfil that. but if they do not like it they should not take the job. but it is the president's fi—safld {51° j° “tuner across the world by very weigh

the home secretary amber rudd has gone a step further in the government's criticism of president trump'sontroversial ban on citizens of seven mainly muslim countries from travelling to the united states. she's told mps it's notjust a divisive and wrong policy, but it could also end up helping so—called islamic state recruit supporters. her comments came amid worldwide protests against the ban, and a petition here, signed by nearly 1.7 million people, calling for a state visit by mr trump to be cancelled. here's our diplomatic correspondent james robbins. hey—hey, oh—oh, donald trump has got to go! refugees are welcome here! days of protest across britain focused first on president trump's travel bans, then on the early state visit offered to him by theresa may. the government calls the travel bans divisive and wrong, now the home secretary has gone further, suggesting the president's actions might play into the hands of the extremists, so—called islamic state or daesh. isil and daesh will use any opportunity they can to make difficulties to create the environment that they want to radica

the home secretary amber rudd, said her leader had done everything she could in her speech to stress the uk what the opportunities are and also how it can work through our european friends. the audience was partially made up of ambassadors and i think we are beginning to hear much more encouraging noises from europeans about how they would like to work with us. no one wants to have annual relationship with the uk which would be bad for them. it is up to us to make sure we set out clearly for the eu that what we want is good for them as well. she said we want the widest possible access to the single market, that would be good for us and also good for the. we want strong trading partners. she was conciliatory in places but elsewhere there was an implied threat that we would walk away if we did not get a good deal. is she really prepared to walk away without a deal. good deal. is she really prepared to walk away without a deallj good deal. is she really prepared to walk away without a deal. i think it is right she set out the key policy objectives but also said if we cannot achieve thos

outraged because the prime minister has made clear she does not support the ag, home secretary amber rudd isil and daesh will use any opportunity they can to make difficulties to make the environment they want to radicalise people, to bring them over to their side, so it is a propaganda opportunity for them potentially. a propaganda opportunity for so—called islamic state, an own goal. there is a propaganda opportunity with drone strikes, a propaganda opportunity with anything. to say that if donald trump of the american government didn't go through with this ban, somehow isis would pack up and take up somehow isis would pack up and take up fishing or something is preposterous. this is not a problem thatis preposterous. this is not a problem that is going to go away, and it is not going to go away by bending to the desires or appease the people that wheel to be fighting against. sol that wheel to be fighting against. so i certainly disagree with the home secretary. good to get your thoughts, stay with us, we want to get your thoughts on some other things in the programme. katty, one of th
