and singaporean film maker kirsten tan talks to us about her win at this year's sundance film festivalfrom our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news — it's newsday. it's 9am in singapore, 1am in london, and 8 in the evening in washington where president trump's controversial executive order imposing a travel ban on people coming from seven muslim—majority countries has received a dramatic set back. the acting us attorney general, sally yates, has told justice department lawyers not to defend it in court. in a letter she said she was not convinced it was lawful. ms yates was appointed as deputy attorney—general under president obama but was asked by donald trump to temporarily take over while a long—term replacement was found. just days after leaving the white house, barack obama has also intervened in the row — warning that american values are at stake. in a statement his spokesman says... and in the past couple of hours senior democrat politicians have gathered at a rally outside the supreme court. house minority leader nancy pelosi and senate leader chuck schumer ca

kirsten it seems like everything is negotiable because he was asked if he supports the one china policy on taiwan. he says everything is under negotiation. what do you think? >> yeah, he said he wanted to do things differently. he wants to have his own rule book. we've seen this before with taiwan, as well and he has -- i think he's made it very clear he believes the way that we've been doing things is not necessarily so i wouldn't assume that because you appoint to precedents that he's going to be concerned about it. he'll look at each itch and decide individually based on his opinion and the people around him versus what the u.s. has typically done. >> douglas brinkley, you get the controversial moment tonight. this is democratic congressman john lewis which i'm sure about det donald trump's attention or already has. listen. >> i don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president. >> you do not consider him a legitimate president? why is that? >> i think the russians participated in helping this man get elected. and they have destroyed the candidacy of hillary clinton. >> dougla

of democratic senators about their feelings on granting him that one-time waiver, and aside from kirsten gillibrand, who is very fast out of the gate saying she would oppose a waiver for general mattis, we don't see that sentiment building upon -- among senate democrats. you have seen a lot of comments from democratic senators might just very pleased with general mattis and his character and background. it is kind of interesting. he was kind of the only cabinet nominee that could have effectively been held to a 60 vote threshold considering that is the number of votes that a havelative waiver would needed. senate democrats aren't going to use it because they really think that general mattis is qualified him -- and they want him there. >> let's turn to rex tillerson. who are the senators we should be watching as far as questioning and what issues are facing this nominee? >> one word, russia. secretary of state has a litany of issues he is going to have to pick up. there are a lot of foreign-policy issues that will be brought up at the hearing by all of the senators. all of the foreign hot

filmmaker kirsten tan‘s debut feature, pop aye, has just won the world cinema dramatic specialjury award states. it's the first time a singapore film and a singaporean film maker have received such an honour. here's a taster of the movie. pop aye there. i asked writer and director of the movie kirsten tan how it felt to win an award at sundance fillm festival. i think it will take some time for me to process the entire significance of this award. but i'm just, like, when i first heard the news it was just pure elation, pure emotion, purejoy. ijust did a little dance in my room. maybe you could show us the dance a bit of it later on! how did you come up with the plot of this movie? how did i come up with the plot of the film? that's right. i think the plot of the film came to me rather easily actually. it's a very simple story about a guy who bumped into this long—lost elephant and the story is of them on this road trip in search of them on this road trip in search of their old childhood where they grew up together. in terms of the story, it's a pretty simple story but it did take some ti

but to kirsten's point, she's right. listen to the words meryl streep said. she said hollywood was vilified and hollywood is full of outsiders and characterized trump's supporters at people laughing at a disabled reporter, which wasn't the case. that the juxtaposition that donald trump won this election. trump supporters are laughing and they're uncouth and we are the vilified outsiders. >> but there's no dispute that he was mocking a disabled reporter. >> there's a lot of dispute. there's video of him using the same hand motions referring to ted cruz, a general, and he used the same hand motions in 2005 on larry king. so that is the subject of debate. >> we're not talking about his supporters, those were his words, he was humiliating somebody. when she said humiliation incites humiliation -- >> that was your interpretation. >> here's where i think there's a shock test of what we see differently. if democrats want to win again, this is the exact wrong way to do it. there's a trope now that goes, this is why donald trump won, this is smug. it's pretentious. it

with us, kirsten powers, kaley mcan any, margaret hoover, and jonathan taseeny. >> kirsten, it's interesting to hear the president -- i would have no problem with investigation to fix any problems in the voting system, if there's a lot of dead people on rolls, if there's people registered in multiple states. that is not voter fraud, which is what the president is alleging, massive three to five million illegally voting, it would be the biggest voter fraud ever. >> we have to think about what it would take to get people to show up and pretend to be those dead people. that's what it would have to take. and i think it's confusing to a lot of people who are watching. they hear dead people on the voter rolls and they think something smells, it doesn't sound right. but then someone has to get a person to go and pretend to be that person and it has to happen millions of times. right? so i think that this is pretty crazy stuff. it really is. and the fact that they're singling out states like california and new york as if it's suspicious that people would vote for a democrat in those states. those ar

kirsten talk about this. this is a quote from the president. mexico does not believe in walls, i've said time and again will not pay. former president on with anderson cooper, saying won't pay. won't put in his terms, used expletive, a you know what wall. president trump says going to pay for it. fwog to be complicated. >> why should they pay for a wall? not something they want or need. it's expensive. billions of dollars, it's ridiculous on the face of it. if donald trump wants us to believe it's going to happen, he needs to be more specific how he's going to get the money from them. >> it's not something that most americans want even. cbs news poll this month, asked americans if they favor or oppose building a wall. 59% oppose. 37% support it. when cbs asked who they think will pay for the wall, 79% think we will pay for it ourselves. only 14% think mexico will. he's taking early action but the question is can he deliver on this massive promise that most americans don't want. >> reason most americans don't want it, we don't have a problem wit

you're right kirsten is the only one that's voted against every nominee to come before us because she's the only one who voted against mattis and i think mattis is against torture. mattis is a well-respected intellectual. we know we can't stop these nominees but, believe me, he's one of the best picks that we've seen among all the nominees. >> obviously general mattis' vote was overwhelming as you said. we've seen overwhelming votes for nikki haley and john kelly at department of homeland security. should we just -- is there an overall democratic strategy around these things or is every senator making their ownall because there's no democratic plan to stand together on these? >> you're right. we had a retreat this weekend. we talked about nominations and you talk about devos she's someone that there's not going to be one democratic vote for her and we're trying to find republicans who will vote against her because she's an ideologue who knows next to nothing about education policy as we demonstrated -- she demonstrated, really, in her confirmation hearing. price i -- he's unacceptable.

to use kirsten's words, that's crazy. if we're honest, it's been well documented donald trump has a bee in his bonnett about not having won the popular vote and he can't let it go and that's what's shaking around in his mind. he has a history of informing himself based on anecdotal experiences rather than really reading books or reading studies or papers because otherwise he would see there is no evidence for this. >> i don't know if i should say this, but i feel bad for somebody -- he won an extraordinary victory. what he did was incredible. it was incredible the amount of money hillary clinton spent, the relatively small amount of money donald trump spent. he won an incredible victory. the fact that he doesn't feel that and take joy in that is amazing. >> i agree but i'm going to disagree with a little of what margaret said. on the right there is this drum beat all the time about voter fraud and they're always claiming, doing these stories, if you listen to right wing media, always telling people elections are being sto

he could have just let it go and said exactly what kirsten said, what mike pence said.he could have done but he didn't. he likes all the conflict. so is this going to go, continue into the administration? it seems like this is going to be the new normal, just basing on what we've seen in the weeks since the election ended and, you know, in a couple of days when the presidency actually begins. >> whether it's john lewis or "saturday night live," right, which was another tact target of his criticism this weekend. >>> let's talk about a conflict that really matters. the comments about nato. donald trump saying nato is obsolete. the conflict here is within his own administration. last week we listened to confirmation hearings for the national security picks. mattis, tillerson and others saying, no, no, nato is very important. russia is a big threat. forget what adversaries think for a moment, talk about what u.s. allies think and the confusing signals. what is u.s. policy? >> that is the problem is how the allies are already reacting to this, whether it's germany or him att

matt lewis, kirsten powers, jeffrey lord, and cnn's chief international correspondent, christiane amanpour. christiane, where does this go? this is fascinating it's happe happening to early on. what kind of a signal does it send internationally? >> it sends a massive signal because this is the first example of president trump negotiating as a businessman in public and this is the result, that there is now a standoff between two leaders of friendly countries, let's face it. this is a very important neighbor. as jeff said and as you said, the foreign minister has been called back, he was going to be on this program. they're telling me the mexican foreign ministry that mexico did not see this coming, they were totally blind-sided by president trump's announcement of the wall and then the announcement that mexico would pay for it. they see this i'm told as an attack on mexico and mexicans and they are gathering their diplomatic forces to figure out how to respond because they, too, have voters who don't want to be humiliated, who don't want to have their back pushed against the wall, will happ
