The court has given decisive legal backing to the ban on visitors from several mainly Muslim nations. We examine what this means for visitors to the United States. Also, the US has demanded that its allies halt oil imports from Iran before sanctions are reintroduced in November. The BBC's Kim Gittleson is in New York. We look ahead to Sunday's presidential election in Mexico. Plus, we have a report from Indonesia where a timber plantation is threatening a peat swamp forest, home to one of the largest populations of critically endangered orangutans.
