'CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS' AS TRUMP FIRES ACTING A.G.

The White House is accusing acting US attorney general Sally Yates of 'betrayal' as she's sacked for questioning the legality of Donald Trump's immigration restrictions.

Sally Yates had instructed justice department lawyers not to enforce the presidential order which temporarily bans nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.

President Trump moved quickly to fire her after she wrote a letter saying she was 'not convinced' the move was lawful.

US correspondent Simon Marks says it's a stunning development.

PROTESTS ACROSS UK AT TRUMP IMMIGRATION POLICY

Protests against Donald Trump's new immigration restrictions have been held in cities across the UK.

British Parliamentarians have also held an emergency debate on the issue - after over 1.5 million (update as required) signed an online petition against a planned state visit to the UK by President Trump.

Prime Minister Theresa May says the invitation to Mr Trump to make a state visit later this year won't be withdrawn.

The UK government says it disagrees with the new US restrictions on immigration from a series of predominantly Muslim countries.

But it also says it's secured exemptions from the policy for UK nationals and passport holders.

BORIS: SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP HAS EASED UK TRAVEL CONCERNS

BORIS: UK SECURED US TRAVEL BAN EXEMPTIONS

The UK government says all British passport holders will be able to travel to the US, despite new travel restrictions put in place by the Trump administration in Washington.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson says strong relations with the US enabled the UK to ensure its passport holders would be able to enter America - even if they are dual nationals of countries subject to extra restrictions.

Those nations listed by Donald Trump's executive order are all Muslim-majority.

Over 1.3 million people have signed an online petition calling for the prevention of a state visit to the UK by Donald Trump.

But Downing Street says the visit will go ahead later this year.

Boris Johnson has been updating the House of Commons on the row - he insists he's been able to make British feelings clear because of the so-called 'special relationship'.
