live from singapore, this is bbc news. president trump bans travels to the us from nationals --to nationals from 12 countries. the us vetoes a un security council resolution calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in gaza. vladimir putin tells donald trump he'll seek revenge for ukraine's devastating drone strikes on russian air bases at the weekend.

welcome to newsday. i'm suranjana tewari. we begin with breaking news with us president donald trump has signed a travel ban to stop citizens from 12 countries from entering the us. the proclamation also partially restricts people from seven more including some countries in asia. the 12 countries affected our afghanistan, burma, chad, republic of congo, equatorial guinea, eritrea, haiti, iran, libya, somalia, sudan and yemen. he also said he was limiting the entry to the us of nationals from an additional seven countries. they are burundi, cuba, laos, sierra leone, togo, turkmenistan and venezuela. president trump spoke about the travel ban a short time ago. i

am signing a new executive order placing travel restrictions on countries including yemen, somalia, haiti, libya and numerous others. the strength of the restrictions we are applying depends on the severity of the threat posed. the list is subject to revision based on whether material improvements are made. we can go live now to washington and our north america correspondent. good to have in a programme. what does this travel ban mean for citizens of the countries mentioned? president trump said this proclamation will go into effect next week on monday, so if you do not already have a visa, refugee status, you will be restricted from entering the country and president trump promised this measure will protect americans from future terrorist attacks or any kind

of threat on american lives and he pointed out the colorado attack where a man staying in america according to the white house illegally had thrown a molotov cocktail at protesters as one of the reasons to introduce this kind of travel ban. but there is no explanation of the fact that egypt, where the suspect in the the colorado bombing is from, is not restricted. how long can this proclamation stay? the first time he did this in 2017 which he dubbed the muslim bone which was slapped against majority muslim countries was bogged down in the american court system facing multiple challenges in different courts across america and it has to be amended multiple times before

it was eventually held up by the supreme court, so faced a lot of challenges the first time and is expected to face similar challenges the second time including political and legal. i am glad you mentioned the last time donald trump did this in his first administration because that caused a lot of people a lot of problems, perhaps people who were uranian originally who still had a passport but living in america. -- iranians. what is the response likely to be? some describe this proclamation as a more savvy, strategic one compared with the first. one of his day one executive orders asked for a review of countries around the world that have consistently a high number of people overstaying their visa or maybe pose a threat to america by having a big

terrorist presence as well as looking at countries that do not have a central government strong enough to vat the people's identity travelling to america. -- vet. the first time it was defeated in the courts is because it discriminated against islam. this time it does not include such language so is expected to fare better in the court system. it seems president trump and the white house learned the lesson from the first time. another difference was that was supposed to last 60 or 90 days. this time it does not have an end date. after a certain period there will be a review of whether it should stay but for now this is expected to stay indefinitely. we will have to see what happens in the courts and with the response to the travel ban. many thanks for

bringing us date on that story. mr trump also signed a proclamation limiting foreign student visas at harvard following through on threats against the prestigious university. that is part of an escalating row with the institution. last month president trump moved to revoke the university's ability to unroll initial students and an injunction was invoked. the us has vetoed a un security council resolution demanding an unconditional and permanent ceasefire in gaza. the document demanded the release of hostages and the lifting of humanitarian aid blockages. the pakistan

ambassador described it as a moral stain and china said it exposed the us as a root cause of the un inability to stop the war. our correspondent has more. we have had plenty of resolutions in the past calling for ceasefires and the release of hostages and the us has vetoed some of those as well. what makes this resolution different was that demand that israel lift its restrictions on aid to getting into gaza. that is of course what gave the resolution its relevance in the current context. although israel has formally lifted its blockade now, the united nations says its efforts to get humanitarian assistance into gaza is still being severely hampered as israel and america prioritise their new mechanism, the so-called gaza humanitarian foundation, around which of course there has been such chaos and those killings in recent days around those aid distributions points. so i think america using its

veto today highlights the really serious divide now in global opinion over that issue. the american acting ambassador said that that mechanism was the only way forward because it kept aid out of the hands of hamas. while the united nations of course disputes that. it says there is no evidence that that is happening, the sequestering of aid by hamas is happening in any sort of significant volume. and you had the rest of the united nations security council lining up against the us on the other side. when you have the uk ambassador for example using words like "intolerable" to describe the situation in gaza and describing the killings of those palestinians in recent days as inhumane, it really highlights just how stark that division is and how much it has grown in recent months.

vladimir putin has promised revenge for the drone strikes on russian air bases at the weekend by ukraine. he discussed this during a surprise phone call with president trump which the us president posted about on social media. our diplomatic correspondent sent this report from kyiv. three days on and another jaw-dropping look at sunday's spectacular operation. plane after russian plane hunted down by a swarm of ukrainian drones. some destroyed, others possibly beyond repair. a glance under the wing, cruise missiles ready for launch. and confirmation that russia's dwindling fleet of prized early warning and control aircraft were among the targets. clearly struck, but the extent of the damage not immediately clear. and then the containers used to transport the drones to airfields deep inside russia, looking for all the world like mobile homes. retractable roofs visible.

ukraine offering carefully calculated glimpses of its work. and rewarding those who carried it out - president zelensky handing medals to officers whose identities, for obvious reasons, are not revealed, saying operation spider's web could have been avoided. translation: a ceasefire could have happened before the operation, right? would the operation have taken place in that case? no, but it doesn't mean we do nothing in the meantime. but the russian leader seems in no mood to budge, clearly incensed by recent events. translation: they're asking for a ceasefire for 30 or 60 days. they're asking for a summit, but how can we have such meetings in these conditions? what is there to talk about? how can we negotiate with terrorists? why should we encourage them by giving them a pause in fighting? none of this bodes well

for donald trump's efforts to end this war. speaking to mr putin for the first time since sunday's attacks and sounding a starkly pessimistic note. "it was a good conversation," the president wrote on social media, "but not a conversation that will lead "to immediate peace." president putin did say, and very strongly, that he would have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields. for all the sound and fury of this week, there is still a diplomatic process. in a few days' time, we should see the largest prisoner swap of the war so far, but as for a ceasefire, well, that remains a very elusive prospect. paul adams, bbc news, kyiv. we can talk now to the director of the global governance and security centre at the chatham house think tank. good to have you in the studio. thank you so much for coming in. donald trump is saying on social media

that vladimir putin said he would respond strongly to that massive drone attack. do you think they were surprised by the capabilities of kyiv? i think so, i think the world was taken back. this is a real resident setting attack 18 months in the planning. the destruction caused to russia's bomb fleets is not ascertained conclusively but regardless these are crowned jewels within the military arsenal of russia, part of its military deterrent. what is the response of vladimir putin likely to look like? there had been fears raised about nuclear capable aircraft. i think so. there are no guarantees as to what the russian retaliation would look like, whether in kind, using that fleet, the path still operational, to strike back at ukrainian or comes in a different form, we should not forget the russians launched a

very large intercontinental ballistic missile a little while ago so there are a range of options they could go. -- the something potentially very destructive. as far as the diplomacy goes, we have had quite a few meetings this week, the russians and ukrainians attendant -- attended. what needs to happen to work towards a potential question of peace? when we're talking about peace we are talking about an enduring end the conflict. we are quite far away from that. optimism there could be amended -- and n, but the discussions taking place in turkiye show an extraordinary gap, it is good that they have agreed to a prisoner swap and the bodies to be swapped from both sides. what we think about is an enduring end and i don't think

that is upcoming at all. given you were a ceasefire monitor before, what do you need to see underground implement even those local level ceasefires? we provided in the first one monitoring of prisoner swap. whether that will be in place now, there is an established way of making those prisoner swaps happen but one quick observation. i was based in donetsk still reap -- still in ukrainian control, and it is the format regions the russians met annexed in september 2022 in word and are looking to make that indeed with basically a wilful ukrainian withdrawal which the ukrainians will never agree to. there are also lots of issues about ukraine giving up large swathes of land which the russians have demanded. what do you see as the role of

the americans here? donald trump is speaking to vladimir putin, sending officials to talk to volodymyr zelensky. do you think the americans can get this done? the prospects are looking a lot slimmer compared to when president trump took office and ukrainians ask americans for renewed security assistance, i don't think they will go down that route but at the moment president trump's patience is wearing down but he has not pulled out of being a facilitator but he is leaning towards vladimir putin's messaging in terms of some interpretations he has of the situation. ruefully, what do you think is the next development that might happen in order to try and move things forward if at all? i think probably only a big breakthrough on the battlefield for the russians which does not look likely but i would say fighting and talking simultaneously looks like the way this conflict will unfold in the foreseeable future. we will have to leave it there. great to get your insights on

to clearly explain terms and conditions to customers. you are live with bbc news. the trial continues in australia of a woman who's accused of murdering three relatives with a beef wellington containing death cap mushrooms back in 2023. prosecuters allege she just served the toxic meal to her guests, but she testified at her trial that she threw it up after binge eating dessert. erin patterson denies killing her estranged husband's parents and aunt, and attempting to murder a fourth guest, who got ill but survived. the case started almost six weeks ago, attracting huge global attention. more than 50 witnesses have testified.

let's bring our australian correspond in katy watson. you have been sitting in on this case. tell us the details that have stood out for you. the proceedings today have only begun, there was a power cut and that has delayed receding somewhat but erin patterson has given evidence, her fourth day, third full day, and we --it is still with her defence team. she has been asked about what she knew about don and gail patterson's illness, her in-laws, two guests who went to that lunch in july 2023. she said to the court it was clear to me, they were getting sicker. she was also asked about life she made during a police interview in the days after that lunch. she was asked about why she dumped a dehydrator, food dehydrator, she used to prepare meals she liked using mushrooms. at this point she did know that don and

gail patterson had died, saying she had lied because it was a stupid, a knee-jerk reaction to dig deeper and keep lying. that is something we have been hearing over the last few days, her responding to the lies she gave to the police in the days after that fateful lunch. we have been hearing a lot of details about the accused. this case has got a lot of media attention. what has the response been like in australia? this has been a case that has seen a lot of attention and you can probably see behind me the amount of media covering this and so on in the last few days that attention has ramped up now that erin patterson is giving evidence at her trial, something nobody knew she was going to be doing it and the judge is very aware of that. at

the beginning of the trial he warned the jury if they came across any news about the trial they needed to scroll on, switch channels, turn the page, that they were not to be influenced by anything printed in the media and they were to be looking at the facts in front of them. this trial has been going on for six weeks now and the judge said at the beginning it would be a six-week trial and we're looking at at least week or so, so as you said in that introduction, more than 50 witnesses, it has been a big trial and a lot of attention on it now. just briefly because we are running out of time, you must have been talking to legal experts. how does it look? which direction does a case look like it will go in? at the moment it is about listening to the evidence. what we have had it is the prosecution has closed its case now. erin

patterson was the first to be called for the defence after that closing arguments. it is a process that is still ongoing. it will be for the jury to decide when they retire and consider their verdict. many thanks for your time. police in india say 11 people have been killed and more than 30 injured outside the main stadium in bengaluru. they were celebrating the first ever title for the team of the city. officials say the crash happened when crowds try to push through a small gate to see the players. staying in india emergency officials say more than 1500 villagers a submerged

in assam after days of continuous monsoon rain in the state. 18 people have died from floods and landslides, and hundreds of thousands of people are in relief camps after being displaced. seven rivers, including the brahmaputra, are flowing above danger level. meteorologists warn the heavy rain will continue in assam, and several northern states including manipur where the situation is also serious. mass protests are taking place in bulgaria, where thousands of people have surrounded parliament to express anger over the country's plans to adopt the euro as its official currency. eu president ursula von der leyen says the move will allow bulgaria's economy to become stronger. but those opposed - which surveys suggest is half of bulgaria - argue that the move will destabilise the economy and erode national sovereignty. and finally, you're probably familiar with that iconic opening line from star wars "in a galaxy far, far away".

but now, nasa's james webb space telescope has identified the most distant and oldest galaxy ever recorded. it's called the mom z14 and it's believed to have formed just a few hundred million years after the big bang. but that's not all the james webb has spotted. this is an artistic impression of a planet, known as wasp-121b. and it's locked in an extremely close orbit around a star that is hotter and brighter than our sun. scientists says that intense heat and gravitational pull have warped the planet into the shape of a giant rugby let's get some business and market news in business today. it was a choppy trading session on wall street, after a private employment report showed that only 34,000 jobs were added in the month of may - well below estimates of 100,000. that report prompted

president trump to - again - lash out at the chairman of the us central bank, jerome powell. in a post on truth social, trump called on powell to lower interest rates, calling him "unbelievable" for not already doing it. he referenced europe as an example, saying they've lowered rates nine times. staying in the us, the congressional budget office is warning that president trump's tariffs will raise the costs of goods sold in the united states. our north america business correspondent erin delmore has the details from new york. president trump says the tariffs will make the country richer but an estimate shows us economic output will fall because of the newly imposed taxes on goods imported into the us. a trio of high-ranking senate democrats requested the analysis. the cbo said in a letter to them: the estimate also showed tariffs will reduce federal budget deficit by $2.8 billion over a decade. how high

the tariff rates are and which countries and goods they are slated or has changed over the last few months. this cbo estimate covers the tariffs in place as of 13 may, so that is before president trump double the tariffs on steel and aluminium and before the tariffs landed in legal limbo. the court of international trade warned britain that ruled in may trump overstepped his authority. the trump administration has appealed that ruling and tariffs remain in effect while the appeal is being heard. elon musk hit out at president trump's tax and spending bill again on wednesday, calling on americans to tell their representatives in washington to "kill the bill". trump's plan, which includes huge tax breaks and more defence spending, was passed by the house of representatives last month and is now being considered by senators. musk said the bill would add to

the us budget deficit and saddle americans with "crushing" debt. the white house says president trump is committed to passing the bill.
