| The latest ban is set to come into effect on 18 October and doesn't affect people who already have a valid visa. Mr Trump said the US would "not admit those into our country we cannot safely vet".

| Angela Merkel's conservative CDU/CSU alliance has recorded its worst election result since 1949, but still remains the biggest group in Germany's parliament. Mrs Merkel, who becomes chancellor for a fourth term, faces a grim struggle to put together a governing coalition, which could take months. To add to the difficulty, her main rival, the left-of-centre SPD, also had its worst result since the 1940s and has ruled out serving with the CDU/CSU. But perhaps the biggest story of Germany's election is the right-wing, anti-Islam, AfD taking its first seats. It will be the third-biggest party in parliament. | |

| It was a chaotic day for German politics. And for Berlin too, which hosted the annual marathon as voters went to the polls. There is division, discontent, in the heart of this country. Among the crowds watching the runners cross the finish line, one man told me he was horrified by the rise of the right-wing nationalists. "They are like the Nazis under Hitler," he said. "I was born in 1939. I'm a war child. I grew up in the ruins and now we get this again." | It was a chaotic day for German politics.

| Limit credit card interest, says Labour | Limit credit card interest, says Labour |
| Labour's first annual conference since the general election, in which it did better than many pundits predicted, is taking place in Brighton. The main announcement today is shadow chancellor John McDonnell's plan for legislation to limit the amount of interest that can be charged on credit card debts. He will say similar measures should be put in place to those imposed for payday loans in 2015, adding: "It means that no-one will ever pay more in interest than their original loan." The Conservatives said action was already being taken to outlaw "rip-off credit card charges". Meanwhile, some pro-EU Labour MPs have expressed anger after no Brexit motions were chosen to be voted on at the conference. | Labour's first annual conference since the general election, in which it did better than many pundits predicted, is taking place in Brighton.
