Start to the day with some sunshine but it will cloud over towards the south and west later today with patchy rain on the way. I will have a full forecast in the next half an hour. Thanks. Good morning. First our main story. Ajudge in new york has upheld a legal challenge aimed at stopping the deportation of people being detained under Donald Trumps new Immigration Policy. President trump has denied that the measures are a ban on muslims and said that the plan was working out nicely. There have been protests at airports around the United States. Our correspondent Simon Clemison has this report. Donald trump says his ban on foreign nationals travelling to america from seven muslim countries is, in his words, working out very nicely. But the order has provoked protesting at airports across the country. Inside workers worked to free passengers being detained, some already on their way in when the president made their way in when the president made the order, and they are not the only ones affected. I have heard from collea g u es ones affected. I have heard from colleagues in london that people are not being allowed on board flights. These are ceos of American Companies who happen to have an iranian passport. It is insane. We are in disbelief that this is happening. Los angeles airport, a 60 year old Iranian American broke down after learning that his brother, who had come to visit him, was not going to be allowed in. I dont know what i have to do. In this country they do Something Like this. I didnt know they would have this same situation here. My brother has done nothing wrong. I have done nothing wrong. On the election trail, donald trump suggested what he said would be a com plete suggested what he said would be a complete shut down of muslims entering the United States. He denies the measures he has now brought in, including suspending the entire refugee programme, are aimed at the islamic faith. It is working out very nicely and we are going to have a very, very strict ban and an extreme ban, which we should have had in this country for many years. But campaigners have already launched a series of legal actions to block his plans and a judge has now temporarily halted moves to deport people travelling with visas who are being held at airports. My President Trump enacts laws or Executive Orders that are in constitutional and illegal, the courts are there to defend everyones rights. But with Immigration Central To Donald Trumps campaign for the presidency, he is unlikely to let up. Theresa may has been criticised for not condemning President Trumps Immigration Policy on her trip to turkey. But last night a Downing Street Spokesman said the Prime Minister does not agree with some of the new us regulations. Lets speak now to our Political Correspondent susana mendonca, whos in our london newsroom this morning. The Prime Minister has been criticised for not condemning donald trump soon enough. Very much so. Before she met donald trump she was saying that she would be somebody who would not be afraid to tell him what she thinks when she disagrees, that she would have a candid relationship with donald trump. That yesterday when she was asked about this Press Conference in turkey, she said it was a matter for the this Press Conference in turkey, she said it was a matterfor the us government, which was met by Condemnation Notjust government, which was met by condemnation not just by government, which was met by Condemnation Notjust by Immigration Parties in britain, but by members of her own government. Opposition parties. Nadhim zahawi, who was iraqi born, said he himself would not be able to enter the us. Another mp said she must not care about the special relationship if it meant we are not sticking to british values. Theresa may under a lot of criticism. We had that statement quite late in the day from number 10 saying that they didnt agree with Donald Trumps approach but for some that will be a case of too little, too late. Thank you. Susanna mendon is in central london. Prince harry and the duke of cambridge have announced plans to erect a statue of their mother, Diana Princess Of Wales, in the grounds of Kensington Palace, 20 years after her death. The two princes said that the time was right to recognise her positive impact with a permanent statue. Simon jones has more. Dianas home became the focus for the outpouring of grief following her death in a car crash in 1997. Now it will take centre stage again for a new commemoration of her life. In a statement, the duke of cambridge and prince harry said the statue will be erected here in the Public Gardens of Kensington Palace. The royal brothers say they hope it will allow all those who visit here to reflect on dianas life and legacy. Work on the design will begin shortly, with the unveiling expected later this year. William and harry will be very much involved. It will be a difficult task, as it will always face criticism, whether its a true likeness and true likeness is in the eyes of the beholder. Some will say it is, some will say it isnt, so its a difficult task when they choose the artist and the artist has to get it absolutely right. Until now the main memorial has been a fountain in hyde park, in london. Dianas sister will be on the committee tasked with commissioning and privately raising the funds for the statue. At Kensington Palace there is enthusiasm for the project. She was the peoples princess, so i think its a good idea. A lot of people were very attached to diana, so i think personally they would like to see it. I would like to see it. The unveiling will be one of several events this year to mark dianas Life And Work 20 years on. Simonjones, bbc simon jones, bbc news. Living standards could be set to fall this year, according to a report by a leading think tank. The Resolution Foundation said that although the uk experienced a mini boom from 2014 to the beginning of 2016, rising prices and stagnating wages mean a bigger squeeze on our income. Our Business Correspondent joe lynam reports. It may not feel like it for some of us, but weve enjoyed a mini boom in Living Standards over the past 2. 5 years. Thats thanks to low inflation, low Interest Rates and growing employment levels. But thats set to end, according to a think tank. The Resolution Foundations annual Living Standards audit says the weaker pound will reduce our spending power, especially among low earners, and employers wont be able to increase wages as fast. While Employment Rates will slow down orfall this year. There are big things the government can do, but they cant deal with inflation, the government, but it can deal with trying to get even more people into work and solving some problems around productivity we might see wages growing quicker. The government said the uk under theresa may had the Fastest Growing economy in the g7 and it was determined to build an economy that worked for all. But the governments own official forecaster expects the economy to weaken somewhat this year and that could leave many of us a little bit poorer. Joe lynam, bbc news. Wildfires in chile are now known to have killed at least 11 people and left several thousand homeless. Firefighters and volunteers are tackling more than a hundred separate fires, half of which are still out of control. The authorities have detained more than 20 people suspected of arson. French voters will choose today who is to be the socialist candidate in the president ial election. Benoit hamon, who was sacked from the government in 2014, won the first round of the selection process. Hes seen as a left wing rebel and he faces the former Prime Minister manuel valls. David beckham has been chosen as the castaway for the 75th Anniversary episode of Desert Island discs. He revealed that he and his wife victoria used to have dates in Restaurant Car Parks in the early days of their relationship in order to keep it a secret. That is not the most romantic place. But i can see the logic. Isnt it funny how Desert Island discs lets people give away Little Details like that . The first one was in 1942 and the format has never changed. You choose your records that you would ta ke choose your records that you would take with you, a book and a luxury item. Shall we tell everybody what his luxury item was . His england caps. Im assuming he can take all of them with him. He must have quite a few. And his record choices included i am the resurrection by the stone roses. And later in the programme well be talking to the author ian rankin about his appearance on Desert Island discs. It has been 20 years since our mothers death, and the time is right to recognise her positive impact in the uk and around the world with a permanent statue. Those were the words of Prince William and prince harry in a statement yesterday. There were no details of the design or who the sculptor might be, but its hoped the figure will be unveiled in the Public Gardens of dianas former home, Kensington Palace, later this year. Lets go to our london newsroom now and talk to camilla tominey, whos royal editor of the sunday express. This morning, camilla. It feels like an appropriate thing to do at the appropriate time. Am i right . think so. In many ways, this statue has been 20 years in the making. After her death, because she was such a warm character and so beautiful, it was thought it might not be right to immortalise her in stone. The Diana Fountain In Hyde Park was come up with, then the playground and the Eternal Flame that was put at the sight of the crash in paris on august 31, 1997, that everyone will remember so clearly. Now with the Sands Of Time, two decades on, it now feels right to immortalise her in a statue. And this has come directly from the printers, who have been pushing this. We knew it would be a year with a number of different commemorations and we have an exhibition of her greatest outfits and her wardrobe coming up at Kensington Palace next month. There will be a Memorial Garden there. This was william and harry saying they wanted a more permanent and more personal memorial to their mother. There were mixed reactions to the diana fountain. Do you think this statue is a different thing entirely because its so clearly has their backing and it comes from them . They were too young after she died, william was 15 and harryjust 12, to have any role in the memorials, so that was done by committee. Yesterday i spoke to rosa monckton, one of dianas best friends, who chaired the committee, and the notion was at the time she spent her life being stared at and it was not appropriate to have a statue and the boys were too young to have an input. We will all remember that ten years after she died they held that concert and there was a service of Memorial At Guards Chapel near buckingham palace. 20 years on, she is regarded through the Sands Of Time and as a global icon, but there has been some time for grieving. The princes are saying they dont want her to be erased from their memories and her charity work continues but there is still a sense that people want to go somewhere and pay their respects two decades on, which is only appropriate, especially at Kensington Palace, where the princes 110w Kensington Palace, where the princes now live, but equally was synonymous with diana throughout her life. And they are using their own money to pay for it . They are going to do private fundraising as well, looking for people to find it, but they have said they want to dip into their own pockets to make it special. They have not chosen a sculptor yet, which will be a committee decision. There are personal appointments to the committee. Jamie lowther pinkerton, their close friend, former private secretary, godfather to prince george, something of a father figure. And they have consulted Prince Charles and the queen about this, and they are fully supportive. This will be the central part of the commemorations marking 20 years since diana died this year. You have had some fantastic royal scoots over the last few years. Congratulations. What themes will we be watching with the royal family this year . At the moment the headlines are focusing on the state visit which could prove diplomatically challenging because as we all know President Trumps opinions on Climate Change and refugees, as we have seen in the last few hours, a very different to that Prince Charles and the younger royals. Everyone has their eye on prince harry and Meghan Markle and where that relationship might go. We have the commemoration of dianas death and the queen and Prince Philip their 70th wedding anniversary. Camilla is turning 70 later in the summer. It will be a busy royal year, which is great for people in my position career wise no time to catch your breath. It is lovely to talk to you. The royal editor of the sunday express. Not one to go until we know the winner of the Australian Open mens singles title. Its the final that nobody expected but millions of tennis fans wanted. Rafael nadal is facing his old adversary Roger Federer in a highly anticipated battle in melbourne. The pair will meet on court for the 35th time since their rivalry began in 2004, and although federer has won more grand slam titles than any other male player in tennis history, its nadal whos dominated in most of their head to head meetings. Lets talk now to former british number one john lloyd. Nice to see you. The 35th time they have met. What should we expect . am hoping it will be an epic match, number one, and why not . The semifinals with dimitrov and rafael nadal was unbelievable. I am going for rafa but i am a bit concerned just because of the amount of time he spent in his five hour match with dimitrov. If this was him five years ago when he was used to playing these matches, i would say it was him, but now it is the rest time with him not being used to it and all the injuries that could play a factor. It is like the old guard are back again. It is like turning back time. 0ver back again. It is like turning back time. Over the last couple of years we have had fantastic players are merging to take over from them and 110w merging to take over from them and now we have the two old stages again. Roger is roger because of rafa, and rafa is rafa because of roger. They almost need each other. It isa roger. They almost need each other. It is a great rivalry. Roger federer put something out when he was on tv afterwards, he said his record with rafa, i played him on play early on, and that was the reason, he didnt know how to play him in those days. Sony is saying wipe out those clay court matches that we played the past. So he is saying. They dont count the odds are on Roger Federers side if you look at the numbers but a lot else will figure in this. Well, they know each other so in this. Well, they know each other so well. The thing for me, the Court Surface is very quick at the Australian Open and it plays into both their hands. Roger federer because he can end the points were quickly, but rafa gets the forehand up quickly, but rafa gets the forehand up nice and high and the balljumps off the court and it gets applied to federals backhand, which has been his weakness in the past. Gets up high to Roger Federers backhand. But he has been working on that. I think he looks like he did five yea rs think he looks like he did five years ago and i honestly didnt think that would happen. There was a time when you thought he wouldnt come back to that level. Well, the injuries. Andy murray is sitting somewhere watching this. Will he think this was his chance . It was a huge opportunity. At the beginning of the two weeks we thought it would either be andy murray or novak djokovic, and andy murray was the favourite. I think last year took more of a toll than we thought and even though he came in pretty eager, any and what did last year was ridiculous. I think it took its toll on him and he is exhausted. He ne
