The US Supreme Court has partially lifted an injunction against President Donald Trump's travel ban.

America's highest court also granted an emergency request from the White House allowing part of the refugee ban to go into effect.

The president's revised order calls for a 90-day ban on travellers from Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Iran, Syria and Yemen. It also introduces a 120-day ban on all refugees entering the US to enable the government to implement stronger vetting procedures.

The BBC's Anthony Zurcher says the path to entry into the US for immigrants and refugees from the affected nations, if they don't have existing ties to the US - either through family, schools or employment - just became considerably harder.

The first witnesses in the inquest into the death of a South African anti-apartheid activist have started giving their evidence.

Ahmed Timol fell from a 10th-storey window from the Johannesburg police headquarters in the 1971.

The original investigation said the 30-year-old had taken his own life but following a long campaign by his family the case has been re-opened today in the Johannesburg High Court.

Saleem Essop, a fellow activist who was with Mr Timol when he was arrested told the inquest he saw a hooded figure, who he thinks was Mr Timol, struggling to walk on the 10th floor.

"They took Ahmed to the back and I remained handcuffed in the front. I was given a massive punch in the stomach which really knocked me," he said.

Mr Essop was then accused of involvement in conspiracy to kill South African soldiers. He claimed that during his own interrogation he saw a hooded figure struggling to walk who he believed was Mr Timol.

Dozens of anti-apartheid activists died in police custody or at the hands of the security services.

Judge Billy Mothle warned that the inquest would lead South Africans to "rekindle painful memories".
