Zurcher, catty quay will be here in 20 minutes time, questions to both of them are very welcome. Katty kay. Heres a prophetic video clip from a couple of years ago. I believe the Attorney General has an obligation to follow the law, the constitution, and give their independent legal advice to the president. Well, thats true, and like any ceo with a law firm, sometimes lawyers have to tell the ceo, you cannot do that, dont do it, it will be in violation of the law, you will regret it. Please, no matter how headstrong they might be. Do you feel that the duty of the Attorney Generals Office . |i do you feel that the duty of the Attorney Generals Office . I do, to fairly and partially evaluate the law and provide the administration with impartial legal advice. That is sally yates, talking at a Confirmation Hearing in 2015. This time yesterday she was americas acting Attorney General. Not any more. Donald trump fired her after she ordered Justice Department lawyers not to enforce the president S Immigration ban. One other twist is that the man who was asking the question in that clip isjeff sessions. Thats Donald Trumps pick for Attorney General. Heres the Press Statement Dismissing ms yates. You can read it online, very easy to find. In it the white house says, she has betrayed the Department Ofjustice and that she is an Obama Administration appointee who is weak on borders and very weak on illegal immigration. Just to remind ourselves, thiS Immigration ban, the restrictions affect seven african and middle eastern countries. Theres the white house statement this is a letter written by sally yates in which she says shes not convinced the Executive Order by the president is lawful. Again, you can find that online if you want to see it. Also is an article by anthony zurcher, trying to sift through this and find out if the Immigration Order is legal. He is with us now, is it safe to say you didnt reach an answer . No, there are answers on both sides, thatis there are answers on both sides, that is what the judges are for. They make a determination, and i think from looking at the constitutional issues, the statutory reasons why this may or may not be illegal, i think the judge could find a compelling argument on either side so if we see lawsuits brought up side so if we see lawsuits brought up challenging this, there is a very good chance that a judge could roll it is unconstitutional or could rule thatis it is unconstitutional or could rule that is fine. Donald trump would have known when he brought this in him was likely to get praise from the new york times, columnists or commentators from the left, but will oreilly from fox news yesterday issued some gentle criticism of how this has gone. A well known right of centre commentator. Is mr Trump Holding the support of people he would expect to . I think so, a recent poll came out saying 49 of the American Public approved of these Immigration Actions and 42 disapproved so there is public support for this and this is something donald trump campaigned on throughout the campaign, this is actually a watered down version of what he pledged to do in December 2015 which was an outright ban on all muslim entry, and he won and ill write nomination with support from a majority of republicans on this issue, and he won the presidency with people knowing this is what he would do. If you talk to his supporters, they generally find that they are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. They look at the president and say he is trying to do something, maybe even the criticism hes getting now from protesters on the left and democratic politicians in congress, maybe thats a sign hes doing something to shake up the system. Let me ask you, what is the chronology of the week coming forward 7 chronology of the week coming forward . What chronology of the week coming forward 7 what can chronology of the week coming forward . What can we expect later today and into tomorrow . The big story will happen in a few hours, donald trump will announce a Supreme Court pick, it is a battle we have known about since Justice Anthony scully died in february. It became an election issue, and perhaps as a way of changing the subject donald trump announced he would come up with his pick tonight. We have Confirmation Hearings on nominees that have been put off. They could come up for a vote tomorrow so theres a lot on this schedule and theres a lot on this schedule and theres always wild cards. Who knows what we will be talking about at this time tomorrow. Thank you very much indeed. We are going to pause talking about donald trump because we wa nt talking about donald trump because we want to talk about this man. This man, charged with murder of six people in a mosque in quebec city on sunday night. Hes 27 and called alexandre bissonnette. On his Facebook Page he indicated he liked marine le pen, the leader of frances far right National Front party. A Refugee Group in the city says he was known for his far right views. Vigils have been held in parts of canada. Prime Ministerjustin Trudeau spoke at one of them. Translation the six people who were killed, and all the others who were hurt, did not pose a threat. They were ordinary canadians, like all of us. Brothers, uncles, fathers, friends. They didnt do anything to deserve the violence and hatred of which they were victims. Lets go from canada to ukraine because there is heavy fighting in the east. Its between Government Troops and separatists backed by russia. This is happening in a town called avdiivka. Thats15km north of donetsk. Ukraines Foreign Ministry says, the current escalation in donbass is a clear indication of russias continued blatant disregard of its commitments under the minsk agreements. That refers to the peace deal signed by both sides in early 2015. Heres the parallel account. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov says, such aggressive actions, supported by the armed forces of ukraine, undermine the aims and the task of realizing the minsk accords. One event two stories as ever. But there is no doubt this recent outbreak of violence is serious. Ukraines president has cut short a visit to germany and has convened in kiev to deal with the crisis. Here he is. Translation i would like to stress today on conditions of such behaviour of russian militants when they have been carrying out massive Artillery Shelling against civilians, how can someone talk about cancellation of sanctions against russia . About cancellation of sanctions against russia . What about cancellation of sanctions against russia . What else does the aggressor and need to do to be brought to justice . We will be talking to katty kay live from washington, dc to get her thoughts on the first ten days of the trump presidency, that in about five minutes time. The head of world athletics, sebastian coe, has denied he misled a Parliamentary Committee investigating doping last year. New emails have been released which appear to show he was aware of Corruption Allegations before they were made public. Dan roan reports. As both athlete and administrator, lord coe has been at the very top of his sport for decades. But tonight, fresh concerns over whether he misled mps about what he knew and when over allegations of a russian doping scandal. When coe appeared in front of a Parliamentary Select Committee in December 2015, he was asked if he knew about the Corruption Crisis before it became public the previous year. I was certainly not aware of the specific allegations that have been made around the corruption of anti doping processes in russia. But since then, theres been evidence coe may have known more than he initially suggested. First, the bbcs Panorama Programme last summer reported allegations hed been alerted to the scandal months before it became public. Reporter did you Mislead Parliament . Lord coe . The programme revealed that former World Champion distance runner David Bedford had sent coe an email about the scandal. Coe said he hadnt opened attachments detailing the allegations. Today, a twist. In this email, sent by coe to the iaafs ethics chief, in august 2104, he says, the purpose of this note is of course to advise you that i have now been made aware of the allegations. Certainly, in this case, it looks like lord coe knew more than he let on to the committee when he came in December 2015. I think hes put himself in a difficult position. Coe denies theres any discrepancy between his evidence and what the email says he knew and that he was not asked specifically by mps about when he first heard of the corruption. Lord coe agreed to release this email after demands for him to be recalled to that Parliamentary Select Committee to give more evidence, but the pressure on athletics most powerful figure is intensifying. Tonight, yet more controversy. His former right hand man, kicked out of the iaaf in disgrace. Nick davies, who served as coes chief of staff, admitted accepting secret payments from the governing bodys former president and then lying about it. He was cleared of corruption, but sacked with immediate effect. Coe has vowed to salvage the credibility of the sport he now rules, but the past continues to blight his attempts to look to the future. Dan roan, bbc news. This is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. Democrats on the Us Senate Finance committee are boycotting the approval of two of president Donald Trumps cabinet nominees, forcing a postponement. Coming up shortly on bbc news if youre outside of the uk, its world news america next. Itll have a report from Rebecca Morelle on the mystery of why theres a huge number of hidden meteorites in antarctica. Here in the uk, the news at ten will have the second part of the bbcs year long investigation into the traffickers selling Baby Chimpanzees from west africa. Well, what to say about this next story. On wednesday, russias parliament is expected to pass a law that will mean some Domestic Abuse is not considered a crime. Heres how it will work. If youre a first time offender and dont hospitalise the Family Member youve attacked, you wont have committed a crime, you wont go to prison. Bear in mind more than 600 women are killed in the home every month in russia. Over 600. Our moscow correspondent is sarah rainsford. Sarahs been to meet one survivor. Marina tells me her story in a quiet, calm voice but the details are horrific. Her husband beat her almost every day for over a year. Shes in hiding now, so weve disguised her identity. Marinas heels still have metal plates in them. They were shattered when her husband pushed her through the window of their flat. Translation he came home one night and started to strangle me. When i ran, he shoved me and ifell from the second floor. I broke both my feet, my lower ribs and when i got out of hospital he carried on beating me in my wheelchair. But in Parliament Last week, as contenders for Miss University were posing for photographs, deputies were reducing the penalty for Domestic Abuse. Therell now be a fine for abusers, not a prison term, if the victim is not seriously hurt. The proposal sailed through with talk of protecting families from interference. I think that government shouldnt tell Men And Women how to behave with each other and in this case its like you are sleeping in bed with your wife and a lawyer and some human rights organisation. Those who work with victims of violence are worried, though. With so little protection in law, there are also very few places here where women who are suffering from abuse can actually run to. There are just two state run shelters here in moscow and then this place is run by a charity and helped by the church. For women whose situations have become a crisis, places like this are a really important refuge. This is where marina is staying for now with four other families. The director tells me women get help here to rebuild their lives and advice on pressing charges if they want to but that was hard even before the law changed. Translation maybe one in 1,000 women manages to bring her case to court and now the maximum punishment is a fine, so if the woman goes home she has no protection and her husband can take his revenge. Marina has a newjob and says shes starting to feel safe again but shes now battling for custody of her youngest child, left behind when she ran for her life. Marinas oldest daughter escaped with her. She smiles as we chat and she names all the cows here at the farm. But her mum says she still cries herself to sleep at night and marina fears stopping the kind of abuse her family suffered just got even harder here. Sarah raynsford, bbc news, moscow. Heres a list of things that donald tusk, the president of the european council, thinks are an external threat to the European Union. An assertive china, an aggressive russia and radical islam. So far, so predictable. Next, Donald Trumps administration. Thats right the eu sees the us as an external threat. Heres mr tusk in estonia a couple hours ago. Particularly the change in washington puts the European UnionIna Washington puts the European Union in a difficult situation. With the new administration seeming to put into question the last 70 years of American Foreign policy. In a world full of tension and confrontation, what is needed is courage, determination, and political solidarity of europeans. Lets bring in katty kay live from washington. Good to have you on outside source. Mrtrump got to good to have you on outside source. Mr trump got to the white house without any of the normal allies you would have to run a successful campaign. On the international stage, it is quite something when you hear that from a very senior eu figure. Yes, i cannot remember ever hearing eu figures of that stature effectively calling america more of an adversary than an ally so it is striking. How much impact will it have in the United States . Probably not much and remember donald trump has made his position on the eu is pretty clear. He was in favour of brexit, he suggested other European Countries might also vote in populist movements and that could lead to the weakening of the eu, something he seems to favour, so i think donald tusks words in the white house will probably fall on deaf ears. How much more can donald trump do just using Executive Orders . He can do a lot through Executive Order. The problem with president s with Executive Orders is they are fairly limited in scope, and can be overturned by future president s which is what donald trump is doing to some of Barack ObamasExecutive Orders on immigration. Therefore they dont necessarily have the Lasting Impact he would like them to have. On thiS Immigration order, news just coming in which is the first poll we have seen in which is the first poll we have seen since the order came into place last friday showing that 49 of americans agree with donald trumpS Immigration ban, a1 disagree so a lot of americans think this is a good idea. There arent many moments to ta ke good idea. There arent many moments to take a breath and consider whats going on, but lets take one of those right now. What have you been making the last ten days . Unlike anything ive seen in us politics, if nothing else for the speed of which things are moving here, but there was this natty phrase that came up after the campaign which is that donald Trump Supporters took him seriously but not literally and journalists took him literally but not seriously. We have learned that both are relevant, take him seriously and literally because he is delivering on his campaign promises, even those like the Immigration Order that perhaps people thought he wouldnt follow through with. The white house insists it is not a blanket muslim ban but a lot of people in this country and other countries see it as exactly that. This is a president who promised Radical Change and
