i'll ask espn's stephen a. smith how this will all play out tomorrow. but first, permit me to advise our new president. mr. trump, a federal judge appointed by george w. bush has just given you an out. you kept your campaign pledge. you initiated a muslim ban, or as you would say, a ban on seven majority muslim nations. but now comes a temporary restraining order staying the travel ban. look at it as a gift. the ban was ill conceived. it was clumsily rolled out, it provided recruitment fodder for our enemies and it focused on the wrong threat. it addressed refugees who heretofore have not been support for terror on our shores. the cato institute estimate america's chance of being killed by a refugee is about 1 in 3.64 billion annually. the prudent path would be to tell your supporters you gave it a shot and instead move on. instead the white house has already vowed to fight what it initially called an outrageous ruling before deleting the rule outrageous from the statement. that's a mistake. where the full litigation of this issue could easily take longe

a certain beauty in brutalism. our culture editor, stephen smith reports. # bang bang! o be renovated, or sometimes it is cheaper to knock them down. newsreader: here are the people. we must build and plan for people. homes fit for heroes. and theirfamilies. it was a recurring rhetorical trope after the great conflicts of the last century. nothing is too good for people. the people are the greatest capital that any nation possesses. often the solution looked a bit like this. the tower block, the high—rise with its pavements in the sky. it's like being in heaven up here because we've always been poor people. we've had so many good friends up here. and these places are just lovely for us. what excites me about them is that they were designed with the real kind of effort going into what makes the place good to live, what makes it a really pleasant place to grow up, to bring yourfamily up, you know, to live an urban life where you're not cut off from your neighbours. where you bump into people, where you have quick and easy access to transport and to shops. but it wasn't lon

stephen smith. for the first time in my life i feel close to somebody. myself. in ang lee's new film, ad as heroes at a football game. but they are not prepared for all the attention or the deafening pyrotechnics. all these explosions catapult them back to being in combat, in theatre, don't they? indeed. i got that from talking to the soldiers, the veterans who work in the battle. the thing they talk most about is the sound, and they are very sensitive to noises. it makes them very nervous. it makes them suffer. the other things, the celebration is a bother to them. when people thank them, so often when people come and thank the soldiers for their service, that's the line they hate the most. is that right? when people thank them, because they feel they don't have to do it. so to them it's humiliation. it is a bother. also what motivated me to make the movie is really the sympathy to the soldiers who are being misunderstood. that is such a poignant human story. that's what really moves me, more than timely or political issues. gunfire. ang lee has taken on a war unpopular with the americ
