Its been a weekend of angry demonstrations and legal challenges in the states. Our correspondent, nick bryant, reports from new york. Chant no ban, no wall new york for all. New york has always been the great gateway into america and demonstrators gathered in a highly emblematic setting, under the gaze of the statue of liberty, that welcoming symbol for new arrivals. But today we have seen large gatherings across the country. The fractious Mood Reminiscent of the 1960s. Protest is becoming a permanent feature of the Trump Presidency and atjfk airport last night, the demonstrations lasted deep into the early hours. Let them in they chanted. Its an attack on the very foundation of democracy. Demonstrations took place across the country. These are scenes in boston as a us senator defied the us president. I cannot believe this is happening. I knew that donald trump would be bad but, boy, not this bad, not this fast. At this courthouse in brooklyn came a Late Night Legal Challenge and Civil Liberties lawyers emerge claiming victory as a federaljudge blocked parts of the Executive Order temporarily banning all refugees and travel from seven muslim majority countries. President trump enacts law or Executive Orders that are unconstitutional and illegal. The courts are there to defend everyones right. What started as a protest outside this courthouse in brooklyn has now become a celebration. At the arrivals hall in dallas airport, outside washington, the joy of reunion. A muslim woman from iraq finally making it back into the country. All of a sudden i get a call and they are telling me they are detaining my wife who is a green card holder, a legal resident in this country. But despite the court ruling, and others making it through immigration, the department of Homeland Security said it would continue to enforce the Executive Order. The president says his policy is working out very nicely and defended it on twitter. This Christian Family was also refused entry. They were turned out. They were turned away at Philadelphia Airport and forced to fly back to beirut. Translation my son has been in america three years, they did not let me call him. There is no humanity.

Protests in major american airports. They rallied against this order along with democrat senators. We have seen a muted response from republicans. They were mostly supportive, although john mccain republicans. They were mostly supportive, Althoughjohn Mccain and Lindsey Graham of course came out earlier on with a statement that the measures put into place by donald trump could amount to a self inflicted wound, as they put it, in the fight against terrorism. Donald trump, as he does, coming back for a vastly on that, saying that they basically do need to concentrate on the fight against Islamic State and that they are wrong. Robustly. Islamic state and that they are wrong. Robustly. A lot of criticism nationally and internationally, david. Yes, indeed. Leaders Around The World, especially european ones, are worried about this. Iranians said they will employ tit for tat measures and keep americans out of here. That will continue, perhaps, over the americans out of here. That will continue, perhaps, Overthe Next Americans out of here. That will continue, perhaps, over the next few days, as the magnitude of this sinks in. That is what the donald Trump Presidency is relaxed about. They said this is what those who put them in the white house voted for. He says it is going along very nicely. As we have been speaking, david, not only a few hours ago, but even now, protesting is taking place in some cities across america. Yes they are. We saw a Big Protest Outsidejfk Airport in new york. That has been continuing throughout the day to be protesting here and In Washington, dc and dallas airport. These protesters are making the point that they believe the Executive Order is unconstitutional and that it flies in the face, if you like, of american values. 0k, david. David, live In Washington.

Lunar new year fireworks were cancelled in beijing to help prevent smog, but that certainly wasnt the case in hong kong. A huge display of fireworks lit up the sky to bring in the year of the rooster. Thousands of people gathered to watch the booming Bright Lights explode over hong kongs famous harbour. A leading member of aung sans suu kyis Political Party has been shot dead in myanmar. Ko ni was one of the National League for democracys most prominent muslim members and also worked as a lawyer. Our correspondent, jonah fisher, is in yangon, and gave more details about the main suspect who is currently being held by police. The bbcsjonah fisherjoins us live from yangon now with the latest on this. As you mentioned, he is probably the most prominent muslim in Aung San Suu Kyis Political Party, the National League for democracy. He works as a Legal Adviser for her. He also set up a Legal Association for muslim lawyers specifically to help the rights of muslim citizens in this country. Muslims are a minority here, this is a buddhist nominated country. So it is possible he was targeted because he is was a prominent muslim. Its also possible that he was targetted because he is close to Aung San Suu Kyi he has worked with her closely in the past, particularly on the constitution here, on plans to try and change the Military Drafted Constitution which gives the army so much political power so another line of thought is that he has been targeted pewrhaps by some sort of shadowy agency here, a Security Agancy of some sort, because he has been at the forefront of those efforts to try redraft the constitution, bring a new constitution into place and this could be a way of sending a pretty chilling message to Aung San Suu Kyi. What more do we know about the moments before this shooting, this murder, took place . Incredibly, a picture was taken off the moment of assassination. We are not sure of the circumstances of how that picture was taken but it shows the assassin holding a pistol to the head of ko ni. Ko ni was waiting at the taxi stand at yangon airport, holding a small child we are told his grandson at the time. Pictures emerging from shortly afterwards show the police detaining this same man, he was wearing flip flops, shorts, a pink shirt. We know he has been ta ken into custody. He is kyi linn, a 53 years old from mandalay but in terms of why he has done this, we will be waiting to hear from the police later today. We know all of this comes at a particulalry tense time with tensions rising, of course, in Rakhine State. Thats right, it is important to stress that the rohingya issue is a separate issue in this country, in many ways. There are about a million Rohingya Muslims in the west of this country, with this ongoing tension and at times conflict with the buddhist population in the far west of this country but what happens there does have an impact on the mood in the rest of this country and whenever theres trouble in Rakhine State, it has an impact on relations between buddhists and muslims in the rest of the country. At a time like now, we have had almost four months now of a crisis in Rakhine State with rohingya being driven out. Tensions are particularly high between muslim and buddhist communities.

The protesters organised that relatively make no test and they have been managed to get large crowds. What you think . It seems like its happening in cities all across the country right now. I think its moving, i think its tragic. I think its beautiful and im just sad that it has to be because we have so much potential in this country are we have such peaceful people, we are a country of immigrants. Can you show the world watch a sign says . Yes. I know that mum knows best. Why do is mum know best . This is not america at all. We are standing here today to fight against injustices and oppression. Standing together to send an urgent message to donald trump that this is not acceptable, it is unconstitutional and we will resist every step of the way. Just explain why you decided to write this on your sign. I think that trump has been trying to cover up what he is doing and saying by excusing himself, saying, its not a muslin ban, we are saying no to bad people but i think thats to deceiving muslims. We are out here to say that we are not deceived. Donald trump has only been in powerforjust we are not deceived. Donald trump has only been in Power Forjust over one week. This is another day of protests here a re one week. This is another day of protests here are outside the white house. Earlier i spoke to steve gruber a conservative radio host from michigan and i began by asking him if he thinks donald trump was right to implement this policy. According to 62 million americans that voted for him, this is part of what he ran on. This is what he told the american people. He will make America Secure and safe. That is what he is doing whether it is the southern border with mexico or putting a temporary pause and remember we are saying a temporary pause on southern natures. 7 nations. This is not a ban on muslims, it is a ban on seven nations which we are waiting on paperwork from. Donald trump is working in the best interests of the United States. Of course there is pushed back and outraged that there is pushed back and outraged that there is he is doing exactly what he said he would do. That is what is angering the left. He said this is to detect the american people. What kind of impact you think this will happen on moderate muslims who call america home . Again, this is only seven countries. Make no mistake, america takes more immigrants than all of the nations in the world combined every year. America is a wonderful place for immigrants. We are built by immigrants. Sure this isa are built by immigrants. Sure this is a temporary pause, just like the president said. It is to make sure we have the betting in place to do the background checks we need to do. Forgive me steve but what my question was what impact will this have on the majority of law abiding muslims who have been speaking to us on the bbc and vocally saying they are concerned about their welfare, concerned about their rights as american citizens or green card holders. Green card holders can still come into the United States. They
