kiev as well that gradually eases as we head through into friday the area of rain sort of loses its intensity so still more in the way of cloud just not quite as much wet weather around towards the west well here in the southwest we've got a little spiraling area of low pressure that's giving us quite a few outbreaks of rain across parts of portugal and spain gratefully received here and a few operates of rain from that system making their way towards the northwestern parts of africa as well now as you can see from the satellite picture not quite with us just yet but as we head through the day on friday we're expecting more in the way of cloud and rain here might see your outbreak as you head through about as well made all towards the east largely for and enjoy just a few bits and pieces of cloud it may just squeeze out the old shower but i think for most of us it will be dry for the south plenty of showers in the southern half of our map and for some of us in cameroon it looks fairly wet.

britain and israel will be marking its centennial in the coming hours israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in the u.k. to meet to resign may the opposition leader jeremy corbett has refused to attend any events in officials of edge britain to apologize for the injustice on palestinian people several demonstrations are expected in palestinian territories israel and the u.k. harry forces joins us now from ramallah in the occupied west bank i'm wondering how this is being mocked there with those hundreds of people behind you harry. this is. now it's the start of the protest which is he actually. looks from here in the center of ramallah the british cultural center as you can hear and see a lot of those. students as well as this introduce him around now there are plans

a hundred thousand letters from schoolchildren to be handed to the british consulate expressing their feelings and views of palestinian children about the legacy of the balfour declaration there are large floods of the town outside government buildings and we had a statement as well from the president's office the office of. say it should be should people politically materially unbelief recognizing the state of mind and working to end the occupation still calls for an apology from the united kingdom a hundred years offical for that question isn't one what sort of impact it's having there believe you're getting some sort of insight into that. i'm sure and honestly question if you're talking about you're talking about. what some of the waves it's making that. yeah it's it's certainly that there are plans for major protests in the u.k.

. big march on saturday there have been petitions and various appeals to united kingdom for an apology and indeed for this recognition of the state of palestine neither of those things are in the offing that we haven't stood. at attention i think from the british government's making clear the support still for the creation of the state of israel and to the juice of about the declaration the foreign secretary of the card for sixty four hours just writing a few days ago saying that wasn't a testable moral goal providing a national will push people to the same time is expressing right on that front there also say the weak specs the reason why the prime minister to say in a speech at this function with the joint netanyahu in london later today we're expecting her to call for a new resolve towards a lasting peace one that works for both the israelis and palestinians however for the those protesting here they see the balfour declaration as

a key moments which really did give the zionist project. and one which led to your paypal good luck by logic forty eight which will celebrate as its declaration of the foundation hundreds of thousands of palestinians are. dispossession displacement and now here in the west bank occupation as well and also some negative comments made against terrorism a senate says leave it there in force and go over to london petersham brooke is a historical consultant at the project and he joins us live from london the capital i'm just wondering how to reason may is playing this we know that she's spoken out in support of that i mean do you agree with her in any way the declaration. in april she made a statement saying that this government has no intention to apologize for the declaration not the british government was proud of its role in creating the state of israel so. and where does the pride officially she's going into what

emanates what feeds that price. you would have to ask her but. one has to understand the the situation in the house of commons is that around eighty percent of the conservative members of parliament around two hundred fifty are officially friends of the. friends of israel group and most of the cabinet mrs may have self are part of that friends of israel group officially mrs may is undoubtedly perhaps the most the most critical supporter of israel in terms of european leaders because we know that there's a debate in parliament today but with everything you say makes you wonder if anything is ever likely to change. well i think i think

public opinion in britain is changing and has been changing and also is changing in in in europe as a whole although i'd say the the elites of europe so to speak are still pretty uncritical of of israel. is. a couple of nights ago in westminster central hall here in london twelve twelve hundred people. marked the. mark of the declaration. but there and that was organized by the balfour project and the balfour project struck line was britain's broken promise it's time for a new approach. lord david owen our former foreign secretary emily thornberry shadow foreign secretary. a number of. m.p.'s from all parties spoke in a very constructive and a very honest manner about britain's past and britain's present policy in that part

of the world and listening to it all i felt that i was listening to the moral conscience of britain speaking actually because there was a genuine. atmosphere and real acknowledgment of britain's past and britain's need to atone for the past. so of course all of that was happening which my words could only only a good thing i mean where do you think this then might lead you and what is it that you calling for recognition what else. well well. recognition yes. the parliament on the thirteenth of october two thousand and fourteen three years ago our house of commons how to debate on the question of the recognition of the state of palestine two hundred and seventy four m.p.'s voted for it's i can't remember how many against twenty or thirty or so so the house of commons the parliament the u.k.

parliament house overwhelmingly voted two to recognise the state of palestine three years on our government has yet to our act on that. of lots of those wishes of parliaments and i would say there is a considerable body of mature informed. impartial fairly impartial people in britain who are very clear that the state of palestine should be recognised officially by our government peter shergold like never just be our first stereo we're going out of time my apologies thank you thank you for talking to us ok. thursday marks an international day focused on ending crimes against journalists the u.n. estimates eight hundred reporters have been killed while doing their jobs in the past decade but only one in ten cases has led to a conviction syria is the world's most dangerous country for journalists with more
