Island vehicle ferry sailings disrupted
Passengers set to sail on a car ferry to and from the Isle of Wight are facing delays and cancellations.
Red Funnel said the "technical issue" meant sailings between Southampton and East Cowes on the Isle of Wight were disrupted.
Foot passengers are being advised to travel on the Southampton-West Cowes high-speed service which is unaffected.
Passengers planning to travel on Monday are advised to check Red Funnel's timetable.
On Saturday, passengers also faced disruption after vehicle ferry Red Eagle broke down, having just returned to service.
A number of sailings were cancelled during the morning, with the ferry firm apologising for inconvenience to passengers.
The Red Jet passenger-only crossing takes 28 minutes, the vehicle ferry about an hour.

Ferry traffic chaos and more in our snapshots from the past
The Isle of Wight County Press has been bringing the news to Islanders since 1884. We've delved into the archives to find out what was happening in days gone by. 125 years ago, in June 1900: Fanny White, wife of the landlord of Ventnor's Crab and Lobster Hotel tap, was charged with selling adulterated rum. The rum consisted of a mixture of drippings from various empty spirit and sherry bottles, which the court believed should never have been sold. Mrs White was fined £1 with £1 1s 6d (£1.07) costs. 100 years ago, in June 1925: Read more: Dog hitches ride to Newport on bus: Stories from days gone by 11th century wall discovered and more in days gone by Islanders who believed that they were ageing too quickly were urged to reach for a bottle of Doan's kidney pills. An advertisement stated that many Islanders felt older and slower than they should because their kidneys were not filtering blood quickly enough. The pills promised to: "Strengthen and stimulate your age-worn kidneys and make you feel years younger." 75 years ago, in June 1950: Two double-decker buses were put into service for the first time on the Island since the 1920s. The buses, which covered Sandown routes, were introduced to carry more passengers. In brown and cream colours, they ran on the enterprise route. Six thousand more passengers used the Portsmouth to Ryde ferries over Whitsun than the previous Whitsun holiday. On Saturday and Sunday four extra boats had to be put on. 50 years ago, in June 1975: A visit to the Island by the Queen Mother was enjoyed by many. After she attended St Lawrence Church for the dedication of the memorial windows, she opened a new home for mentally handicapped adults in East Cowes. 25 years ago, in June 2000: IW ferry company Wightlink called the police to assist with the boarding of ferries after eight hour delays caused the area to be gridlocked. Roads around the Fishbourne terminal were marred by traffic chaos due to an electrical fault on board St Helen. The delays fell on one of the busiest weekends of the year for the ferry company.

A look at Trump's travel ban timeline throughout his first presidency
A look at Trump's travel ban timeline throughout his first presidency Show Caption Hide Caption What to know about travel bans and who they could affect Immigration law allows presidents to restrict travel into the U.S., but President Donald Trump's bans have been more sweeping than past presidents. President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday banning or restricting travel of foreign nationals from several countries, reminiscent of his first administration when he banned travelers from seven majority-Muslim countries in 2017. The ban, which goes into effect on June 9, affects Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The entry of people from seven other countries: Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela, will be partially restricted. The travel restrictions were first reported by CBS News. "We will not allow people to enter our country who wish to do us harm,"Trump said in a video posted on X, formerly Twitter. He said the list could be revised and new countries could be added. Since returning to the White House for his second term, the president has vowed to replicate the impact of his original travel bans, which stirred several legal battles with courts that blocked the mandate. Here's a timeline of what ensued then. See events of Trump's first travel ban Jan. 27, 2017: Trump issues an executive order entitled "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States." It suspends travel from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen for 90 days, blocks refugees for 120 days, and suspends travel from Syria indefinitely. Jan. 28: Chaos reigns at U.S. airports as Department of Homeland Security agents block travelers from entering the country, leading to protests and legal action. Feb. 3: Federal District Court Judge James Robart in Seattle issues a nationwide restraining order that blocks the travel ban from being implemented. Feb. 9: TheU.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, based in San Francisco, refuses to reinstate the ban, ruling that it violates due process rights without a sufficient national security justification. March 6: Trump issues a revised travel ban targeting only six countries and exempting visa- and green card-holders in an effort to reverse his fortunes in the courts. March 15: Federal District Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii issues a nationwide halt to the revised travel ban on immigrants and refugees. March 16: Federal District Judge Theodore Chuang in Maryland blocks part of the travel ban that applies to travelers from six predominantly Muslim nations. May 25: TheU.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, based in Richmond, upholds the ruling from Maryland on the basis of religious discrimination against Muslims. June 12: The 9th Circuit appeals court upholds the ruling from Hawaii, saying the ban discriminates based on nationality. But it clears the way for a review of screening practices. June 26: The Supreme Court upholds parts of the ban and schedules oral arguments for October. In the meantime, travelers in a wide range of visa categories must prove their connection to a U.S. organization or individual in order to avoid the ban. Sept. 24: Trump issues his third version of the ban following what the administration says was a deep dive into international vetting procedures. Included indefinitely: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Chad, North Korea and Venezuela. Chad was recently dropped from the list. Oct. 17: Judge Watson in Hawaii blocks the third version nationwide, writing that it "suffers from precisely the same maladies as its predecessor" and "plainly discriminates based on nationality." Oct. 18: Judge Chuang in Maryland says much the same thing, ruling that it still constitutes a "Muslim ban" that violates the Constitution's protections against religious discrimination. Dec. 4: The Supreme Court rules that the ban can take full effect while legal challenges continue in federal appeals courts. The justices urge those courts to render decisions "with appropriate dispatch." Dec. 22: A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit appeals court rules against the ban in part, contending that Trump exceeded his authority under federal law. Jan. 19, 2018: The Supreme Court agrees to hear the Justice Department's appeal of the 9th Circuit ruling, leading to oral arguments. Feb. 15: The full 4th Circuit appeals court again declares the ban unconstitutional based on its discrimination against Muslims. April 25: The Supreme Court hears oral arguments on the appeal of the 9th Circuit ruling. Conservative justices appear sympathetic to the administration's stance. June 26: The Supreme Court reverses the 9th Circuit's ruling, handing a major victory to Trump. June 31, 2020: Trump adds visa restrictions to six more countries including Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania. The White House said those nations failed to "comply with basic national security" requirements or to conduct "proper identity management" procedures.
