      Legal challenges mount for Trump’s travel ban from 7 Muslim countries

      Civil liberties groups are challenging Donald Trump’s executive order barring all immigration from seven majority-Muslim nations for 120 days, which the president signed Friday evening. On Saturday morning, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that legal permanent residents of the United States with green cards are included in the ban, and will not be allowed to reenter the country. As officials raced to understand the new executive order, U.S. green card holders from Iran and the six other countries were reportedly kicked off flights, sent back to their country of origin or detained at airports.

      Starting this summer, these owners can start bringing in their eligible vehicles for the upgrade, which is apparently simple enough: It's a device that plugs into the car's OBD II underneath the steering column. Ford spent more than two years of doing R&D, working with Verizon Telematics and Delphi Automotive, to confirm this upgrade will work with eligible Fords and Lincolns.

      Gambia president plans massive overhaul, but keeps secret police

      Gambian President Adama Barrow said Saturday that every aspect of his tiny west African state would need an overhaul after ex-leader Yahya Jammeh's 22-year rule, but that its dreaded secret police would remain. Barrow faces an uphill task after taking over from Jammeh, who left behind a dysfunctional economy and allegedly emptied state coffers ahead of his departure. Rights group blame the notorious National Intelligence Agency (NIA) under his longtime control for forced disappearances and torture.

      U.S. judge blocks Texas regulations for fetal tissue remains

      By Jon Herskovitz AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - A U.S. judge in Texas on Friday halted Texas regulations that would require abortion providers to dispose of aborted fetal tissue through burial or cremation, saying the rules imposed "undue burdens on a woman's right to seek a previability abortion." U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks issued an injunction that will stay in effect until the court can render "a meaningful decision on the merits" of the case, online court documents showed. Lawyers for Texas argued that the Texas Department of State Health Service's (DSHS) regulation was in line with preserving human dignity but plaintiffs, who included abortion providers, said it was an unnecessary and vague regulation aimed at making abortions more arduous and expensive.

      Former neighbor recalls suspected killer as grieving widower

      Bob Evans sat at a picnic table outside friend Katherine Decker's motorhome in 1986, sobbing that his wife had died when his then-5-year-old daughter, Lisa, was just a baby. Three decades later, authorities say only one part of his story was true: The girl's mother was dead. On Thursday, authorities linked him to five earlier killings — the mother of the girl he called Lisa, and a woman and three children whose bodies were found in barrels in New Hampshire.

      Behind closed doors, Republicans worry about replacing Obamacare

      Republican lawmakers are uncertain about how to reshape the nation’s healthcare system and anxious about the consequences if they don’t figure it out soon, a leaked recording of a closed-door meeting shows. The release of the recording comes as GOP leaders and the White House put their foot to the accelerator, racing toward a legislative repeal of the Affordable Care Act accompanied by executive actions from President Trump.

Yousafzai, 19, issued the statement at about the same time that Trump announced his latest executive orders, including one that reportedly will suspend the U.S. refugee program for 120 days.

      Russians rally against cathedral handover

      Over a thousand people rallied in Russia's Saint-Petersburg Saturday to protest the decision by authorities to hand over the city's famous St. Isaac's cathedral to the Orthodox Church. The crowd of about 1,500 was the biggest showing yet to oppose giving the cathedral, a popular tourist attraction owned by the city, to the Church, saying it would rob the municipality of needed revenue. The imposing 19th-century St Isaac's Cathedral on the main street Nevsky Prospekt functions as a museum, gallery and concert hall, and is also used for religious services.

      Elon Musk Says ‘We Start Digging The Tunnel Tonight’

      Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk gave the world the concept of Hyperloop — a superfast ground-based mass transit system — in 2013, but none of his companies have done anything to take it forward, leaving it instead for others to do so. Various teams, made up of university students and independent engineers, have been at the competition venue for some days already. The SpaceX and Tesla Motors CEO had on Wednesday tweeted his seriousness to start digging tunnels to ease traffic congestion in urban areas, and had earlier referred to a potential business as “The Boring Company.” But in his tweets Wednesday, he said the plan to start digging would take off in about a month.

      Among Detroit’s three pony cars, Dodge’s Challenger is an oversize peg that fits in an altogether differently shaped hole than do the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro. For a segment so typically horsepower obsessed, braggadocio about the number of driven wheels is refreshingly offbeat. The Challenger shares its platform with the Charger sedan, which has long offered an all-wheel-drive option.

      In Middle East, U.S. travel curbs decried as unjust, insulting

      By Eric Knecht and Maher Chmaytelli CAIRO/BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Arabs and Iranians planning U.S. trips reacted with fury on Saturday to new American travel curbs they said were insulting and discriminatory, as five Iraqis and a Yemeni were stopped from boarding a New York-bound flight in Cairo. In some of seven Muslim-majority countries affected by the restrictions, would-be travelers preparing family visits, work trips or seeking to escape war reported chaotic disruption to their plans. Iran, one of the seven countries, said it would stop U.S. citizens entering the country in retaliation to Washington's visa ban, calling it an "open affront against the Muslim world and the Iranian nation".

      German carmaker Volkswagen will recall nearly 600,000 vehicles in the United States, most of them its premium Audi brand, over defects that could lead to fires or airbag malfunctions. A corrosion problem that could prevent airbags from deploying affects more than 234,000 Audi 2011-2017 A5 models, it said. Faulty coolant pumps that can overheat and cause fires were installed in more than 342,800 Audi A4s, A5s, A6s and Q5s produced in or after 2012.

      The Knights of Malta-Vatican feud: a tale of chivalry and sovereignty

      By Philip Pullella VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - On the afternoon of Jan. 24, a black BMW pulled out of a 16th century palace in Rome, crossed the Tiber River and headed for the Vatican, a short trip to end a brazen challenge to the authority of Pope Francis. Inside the car was 67-year-old Englishman Matthew Festing, the head of an ancient Catholic order of knights which is now a worldwide charity with a unique diplomatic status. Festing was about to resign, the first leader in several centuries of the Order of Malta, which was founded in 1048 to provide medical aid for pilgrims in the Holy Land, to step down instead of ruling for life.

      UN hopes US refugee ban is temporary

      The United Nations hopes that US President Donald Trump's decision to ban refugees is a temporary measure and that they will again be given protection, its spokesman said Saturday. "We hope that the measures concerning the suspension of refugee flows are temporary as refugee protection needs have never been greater," said UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric. Trump on Friday signed an executive order suspending the US refugee resettlement program for 120 days.

      In an emotional ceremony, the mayor and the police chief of a west Georgia city have apologized for the lynching of a black man more than 75 years ago. LaGrange Police Chief Lou Dekmar said the killing of Austin Callaway, who was taken from the city jail by a band of armed white men in 1940, should never have happened. Callaway was 18 when he was led from his basement cell in the LaGrange City Hall, then shot and left to die along a road on Sept. 7, 1940.
