look at the distance there's at least twenty thousand refugees live we badly need at this moment leadership and presence hosting the but as messiah. is going to be the next president retaliation we're going to go. back she's very kind of gas subsidies to the best to prevent getting anyone to skeptical that. he achieved something that never happened before. the u.k. and the european union finally reach a deal allowing breck's it talks to proceed to the next stage.

again you're watching else as the euro live from our headquarters here in doha also coming up. for our protesting clashes in palestine and with donald trump's decision declaring jerusalem the capital of israel with demonstrations abroad as well. north korea tells russia it now wants direct talks with washington seeking guarantees on its security. also this off thousands of firefighters battling wildfires spreading across southern california. breaking story for you today a deal has been reached between the u.k. and the e.u. allowing brecht's that negotiations to move on to the next stage the talks had

stoled of a citizen's rights off the brics that the u.k. so-called divorce payments and on the future of the border between northern islands and the republic of ireland the e.u. had insisted discussions could not move ahead until plans for the border were finalised. we had to make the deed today. on the basis of the mandate which was given to me by the european council to commission has just formally decided to recommend to do been cancelled that sufficient progress has been made on the street terms of the divorce. after some tough conversations we've now agreed a settlement that is fair to the british taxpayer it means that in future we will be able to invest more in our priorities at home such as housing schools and the n.h.s. in northern ireland we will guarantee there will be no hard border and we will uphold the belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to pursue the

constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom well within the last half hour or so the european council president donald tosk has been outlining his conditions for the next stage of negotiations with the u.k. . if you know they have asked for a transition of about two years while remaining part of the finger market and the customs union. and it will be ready to discuss this but naturally we have conditions. i propose that during this period the u.k. would respect the whole of e.u. law including the new law. it will respect budgetary gotten at them and. it will respect judicial oversight and of course all do related obligations. ok let's find out what this means we're joined by don

a cobol com he's an associate professor of politics and dublin city university he joins us now from moldova on skype donahoe balkan regulates a realignment i mean it's a big wide open phrase ought to be agreed on do we think and what are the consequences of the agreement. well the major consequence is that now after much fears that it wouldn't be possible we were able to move to base two of the brakes and to go see a chanson it seems area to speak of course that we were on the verge of a breakthrough and then the deal as it was at least was scuppered by the junior partners of the ruling sort of government in the united kingdom those partners are the democrats but unions are the small part of northern ireland about forty million votes. they managed to put a brake on the go see a sions in which hundreds of millions of citizens are back to it and it's been a force many phone calls many meetings during the last few days between all interested parties and they managed not to find agreement on the three major issues

which had been a dentist by months ago and reason may trigger the article fifty and those three issues are more about speedballs of course bill how much you get into polls considering the existing and possibly means it's silent as the european union the rights of european union citizens still resident the united kingdom and those united kingdom residents living in a constant on your oath and of course firearms. how to prevent negative repercussions directly relating to the irish border and respecting the good friday agreement which of course is an international agreement between the irish governments east north and our own and is an international treaty is there not now a political country trick that mrs may's got to be seen to be carrying through into the next two years and it's this she may wrap it up as a hot breakfast but default setting because of the way she's been nudged like a popcorn on the table top ice hockey game is a soft bricks it because of what she's had to do and talk about with dublin stormont and also in political studies and gets involved in this debate to. that's

very true and in a way are you don't treat a man to finish government for reasons best known to themselves played on a number of red lines no membership of the single market no membership of the customs union that in retrospect perhaps was not wise because it's and humiliation this is the terminology that's been used by nigel farage this morning this is simply the result of having to backtrack on so many things that the british woman said wouldn't have and they said there would be no divorce bill of any substance eighty some members percent of the european union go whistle for the money in terms of the hire and they only turn their attention to our extraordinary nation the day almost conceding that it wasn't important there was constant reference in the british media during the last two weeks to the irish question as if the nation as a whole constituted some kind of crossword puzzle that had to be deciphered by the version of the goalie's. if you're doing it from the other side of the irish sea this is always been

a british question order or was it was imposed many years ago against the wishes of the vast majority of people on both sides order. it's something that the majority of people on the other that aren't don't want someone britain voted for brakes that it really was incumbent on the british government to stress what the implications were were for ireland and what was clear as the negotiations progressed it hadn't been given any advance clause and this of course if you're living in ireland is extraordinary because the peace process is a viable caucus which is being painstaking indigos and of course by previous governments that by tony blair and maybe that's why of course the scope and what it does committed to them but quite the important national interest people of ireland and i think that was one thing that was not fully appreciated in london is not when the national interests of an e.u. member state by government and united kingdom diverse dublin have to do all it could is to preserve the irish national interest and fortunately of course being a much smaller state we have the backing of the european union i think that was another surprise for the british political leaders and the british media was that

they thought that this was something to be directly between top. what if iris iris position was more or less the e.u. position so they actually go through with the e.u. and of course you have much stronger leverage in this respect to the united kingdom ok just be clear you mention nigel farage there of course he was formally a ukip u.k. independence party euro m.e.p. but moving on twelve months ago we were talking about piddling issues like food labeling the content of the stuff in the supermarket they were buying today when our viewing this through the prism of unifying the island of ireland we've got two years of this still to go at least one of the biggest issues around the corner that people haven't even thought about yet. well the big issue really and again i speak for them somebody on the island of ireland is this is how people will be able to travel north and south tens of millions of people travel between north and south every every year and from the perspective of the irish government was that the

border would be visible that this was something also that her shop and wanted they kept referring to their desire for a frictionless border the problem was that in the british government paper that was released in august this was purely aspirational there was no firm commitment irrespective of what was agreed to other aspects with the european union the approaches border would remain just what we have now which is a result of the peace process this is something that the british government in disagreement that is being released just in the last hour or two have committed themselves that more to set in all circumstances we can see what the final agreement will be but irrespective of what it is there will be no border visible border between the united kingdom. and ireland and this is of course something that is a primary importance the trade issues are not as important to to the irish government and that has not been the focus of course about the people who are living beyond the borders farmers from process their mill sam one side of the border and send it to the other side the border these are important issues but the primary focus is

always going political and in terms of conflict resolution it hasn't been economical to the defacement britain sometimes misses this point to suggest sometimes that it's all a matter of trade and as it is about technically facilitating trade the irish that was a decision from the beginning has been about certainties that's been the primary focus on a kind of book on thank you very much you know. palestinians are calling for a day of rage as anger months of the u.s. president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital a move sharply criticized by world leaders. dozens of protesters were injured in a wave of demonstrations on thursday israeli soldiers fired tear gas and rubber coated bullets in the occupied west bank shops and schools were closed as part of the general strike across the region hamas which controls the gaza strip has called for a new intifada or uprising against israel harri forces joins us live now from occupied

east jerusalem carry a day of rage it sounds so provocative particularly for israeli supporters i guess how much rage how much anger is there today. twelve days of rage on the most isolated incidents here they're often calls for days of rage and there may be some protests but they don't eventuate quite into the way that those calling for them sometimes would suggest however this could be different today we've already seen we've already seen extensive protests across the occupied west bank and in gaza on thursday there was a demonstration here just outside damascus gate in the old city of jerusalem in the occupied east jerusalem and so. this is a friday there are friday prayers coming up the of the certainly the preparations are being put in place for major demonstrations the police and israeli police are telling us that they are putting reinforcements into the old city and occupied east jerusalem in advance of that however they aren't at the moment restricting access

to the third holiest site in islam where friday prayers are of course hugely important and often are restricted on age terms if the israeli police feel there is a security issue at hand that has hasn't happened yet but they say they still hold that possibility in reserve other any voice is there either arab voices voices palestinian. well muslim voices harry saying look mr trump may have done what he's done but he's got to sign this waiver at least another six times so let's just wait and see what actually happens. well that's not the message coming from the palestinian leadership certainly they that that the wave of the actual physical moving of the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is one thing but. it's really in terms of the philosophy of over all this it's more important to declare that the united states views israel as the capital of jerusalem especially in the

way that donald trump did the language that he used talking about the ancient nature of its jewish links talking about it being the heart of the one of the most thriving democracies in the world those lot of extremely supportive language towards israel and nothing really for the palestinians beyond saying that the final status had not been prejudged by the united states that the limits of israeli sovereignty would have to be worked out in any final negotiation in a two state solution if that is what both sides wanted that isn't enough at all for the palestinian leadership. here on the ground in the old city and around it they feel that the united states has taken sides in this and as of course we've been reporting for the last few days alison is saying that the united states has essentially withdrawn itself from the peace process and exploded the two state solution as a viable option at the moment terry thanks very much. there are so very planned visit to palestine later this month by the u.s. vice president mike pence that's after

a senior member of the ruling party said he was no longer welcome pence's been expected to meet the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas during the visit the white house says canceling the missing would be counter productive transposition has prompted protests across the arab and the muslim world to have been demonstrations in the indonesian capital jakarta the president joe cool with the u.s. to reconsider its decision on jerusalem security has been tightened outside the u.s. embassy where demonstrators gathered on friday earlier hundreds of protesters marched towards the u.s. embassy in the releasing capital kuala lumpur the prime minister says he's opposed to mr trump's decision he's called on all muslims to protest against the move florence louie was there at one of the protests in kuala lumpur. hundreds of people gathered outside the u.s. embassy here in kuala lumpur after friday prayers in protest against the decision by u.s. president donald trump to recognize their islam as the capital of israel they were

prevented from reaching the entrance of the u.s. embassy by a security cordon but the mood here is one of defiance and anger people were holding up a banner the black hawk that crushed zionism that said things like antiviolence them is not the same as anti semitism people would trade the color of the palestinian flag waving palestinian flag and the prime minister najib razak had said malaysia will never recognize him or have the capital of israel and he also called on muslims around the world to. stand up and make that point had come off representatives here in malaysia also said they hoped malaysia would lead a confederate political capital to stand up against the u.s. position to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel russia's foreign minister says north korea wants direct talks with the united states passed on the message to the u.s. secretary of state's rights to listen in vienna on thursday now that follows the north's latest launch of a missile which incest can hit anywhere in the united states and threats of nuclear

retaliation from donald trump the u.s. and south korea wrapping up a week of military exercises despite warnings from pyongyang. that is something that foreign minister lavrov said took place as a part of a conversation i don't have anything on that particular part of the conversation and i cannot confirm if that came up in the secretary's conversation with mr lavrov i will say though as a general matter the issue of direct talks with north korea is not on the table in till they're willing to denuclearize it is something that russia has said it agrees with it is something that china has that it is it agrees with and many other nations around the world as well the d.p. r. k. is not showing any interest in sitting down and having any kind of serious conversations when they continue to fire off ballistic missiles period let's cross live to seoul the south korean capital and my colleague kathy novak kathy it

doesn't sound on the face of it that there's anything in here to be actually hopeful about. well there have been some signs recently that some may interpret as hopeful china sent an envoy to north korea just this week we saw the u.n. political affairs chief jeffrey feltman in pyongyang for talks he met the foreign minister now neither of those men met the leader kim jong un but some interpret it as hopeful signs because this was the first time in six years that the united nations has sent a senior official to north korea and this was in response to an invitation extended according to the united nations by north korea so of course the government there controls who comes and goes and it's interesting about these high level people have been in pyongyang for its part the south korean government's position remains that it wants to continue the regime campaign of sanctions and pressure against north korea precisely to bring it back to the negotiating table south korea has said that

the offer for intercourse dialogue remains open it's simply that north korea has not been responding to that invitation interestingly recently the unification minister of south korea responsible for north korean policy said he believes that part of the reason that north korea is not responding to that invitation is that it wants to speak to the united states to rickly but of course we heard there from the state department spokesperson saying that as far as the u.s. is concerned north korea isn't showing any signs of being willing to talk as long as it is continuing to fire off missiles and the u.n. uclear envoy joseph in in washington has said that a good first step towards dialogue would be for north korea to stop testing missiles and nuclear weapons so in a sense part of the trouble now is the timing before the launch of the most recent i.c.b.m. it had been more than two months since we had seen any kind of missile or nuclear

testing from north korea and some of suggested that that would have been the time to come to the table and now with this most recent launch the u.s. is saying that it is not willing to talk to north korea peter. thanks very much. still to come here on al-jazeera a veil of secrecy lifted we now know who paid a record four hundred fifty million dollars for this really an odd davinci painting . by the springtime flowering of a mountain late. to the first snowfall on a winter's day. how i will much of europe now fading the a wintry blast filtering its way through i still suspect clinging of wintry showers coming in the cross the northwest there and you can see the tightly packed ice. in the case of very strong winds we had winds touching one hundred fifty kilometers

per hour for the coast of day meanwhile we're going to see some very cold air coming in behind this system then the temperatures really will struggle was violent winds and the wintry weather well that made its way in across the northern and western parts of the united kingdom even down towards the south coast we saw some big and lively winds but you can see some of the waves crashing on shore these pictures coming up from northern parts of scotland temperatures will struggle in the coming days five celsius there for london seven degrees celsius there for paris and you see because of wintry weather certainly over the higher ground of the welsh mountains the scottish mountains to sing fair old mix of wintry weather and that will continue to drive its way further south was across the alps down towards central and southern parts of europe heavy rain there into southern areas of the balkans and you see that cold blast the very strong winds continuing across northern parts of a year it may while it's not seep out across northern areas of africa talk temperature in vats of ninety degrees. the weather sponsored by cat time and place

. you are making very pointed remarks where on line the main us response to drug use and the drug trade over the last fifty years has been the criminal mind or if you join us on saying no evil person this wakes up of it in the morning and says i want to scour the world in darkness and this is a dialogue that could be what leading to some of the confusion on line about people saying they don't actually know what's going on join the colobus conversation at this time on al-jazeera. hello again you're with al-jazeera live from the headlines

a deal has been reached between the u.k. and the european union allowing the go seasons to move on to the next stage the discussions had stalled over citizens' rights after breakfast at steve case so-called divorce famous on the border between northern ireland and the republic of our. public opinions according for a day every single month serving us president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital in the shop he condemned by will dozens of protesters were injured in a wave of demonstrations on thursday. and mr trump's decision has prompted protests across the arab and muslim world the latest well they were in the indonesian capital jakarta where the president urged the u.s. to reconsider. let's get more on brics it and what's been agreed between to reason may and the rest of the european union live now to london and our correspondent needs barcus and leave the e.u. signaling very strongly that the next round of negotiations will be harder than

what we've seen before that's going to be a tough one. yes well they would certainly be very very hard indeed and one can only imagine how hard it could be considering how much breaks in negotiations have stumbled and faltered over the last few months though it looks right now as if to resume a could well be breathing a little bit more easily than she has done ever since she became prime minister earlier on in the year in this new administration that took over after that snap general election. there have been key issues that have been the main reason why talks of failed to gain any progress a tall they have now been largely dealt with they are of course the northern irish border issue the border between the public of ireland and northern ireland a part of the u.k. that border will no longer be or will not be a hardboard over one of fear the return of a hard border was soon as the u.k.

really departs the european union they have also been concerns about a border running down the middle of the irish sea but they appear to be guarantees now that the either of those options are likely to happen or going to happen and that crucially northern ireland would remain aligned to the united kingdom the brakes a bill that also been a major sticking point we now know that that will be somewhere between fifty to seventy billion dollars and also and we arrange mint has been reached on the status of nationals living and working in the u.k. of which there are around four million it isn't entirely perhaps what the hard to tears had wanted it's been described as your uncle younker as something of a compromise but it does crucially as you say allow for face to trade talks to begin seeing as well need these quotes in the last hour or so from michael gove the british politician who was kind of one third of the political act that pushed for

brics it he's saying this is a political victory for mrs may but surely given that she gave a big suitcase of cash to the d u p stormont the stormont to say is still not up and running she's still politically pretty weak that. she is very much so she has relied heavily upon this arrangement with democratic unionist party to prop up her government and as you said there are a large tranche of cash was handed over always about to be handed over to the d p two to sweeten that arrangement it didn't mean that when a deal over the border for the deal had been reached earlier on in the week on monday that the d.p. could quickly step in and say no we have key questions to ask about the border we want things to go back to the drawing table not exactly what theresa may was forced to do to rewrite an entire paragraph which is meant that she's had to compromise on

some key issues so something of a pyrrhic victory perhaps for the reason may need thanks very much let's go back to one of the main stories so far today the fallout from donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital white house correspondent kimberly health kit spoke to the deputy assistant to the u.s. president rush hour about that decision. one day after donald trump's announcement that the united states would be recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel al jazeera spoke exclusively to raj shah deputy assistant to president trump and we asked him whether or not the status of jerusalem could still be a part of any american sponsored peace process borders sovereignty the types of issues that might be part of final status negotiations were all the parties are going to have a role and have to negotiate a final settlement so that's the decision yesterday has nothing to do with that and we're going to allow the parties to work out the details so was the language very

specific that in terms of the selection of the president using the phrasing that he did of course it was and this is this was about a recognition of reality and not about you know putting our finger on the scale on the peace process we are an honest broker and we want the first word of being an honest broker is being honest and recognizing reality that israel's capital is jerusalem that we challenge to rush on whether or not the president's announcement in the view of the trumpet ministration and here is with international law and un resolutions when it comes to the status of jerusalem shah answered that in fact what is top priority to the trumpet ministration is not international law but instead american law and the fact that the u.s. congress has reaffirmed the jerusalem embassy act multiple times since it was created in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. . southern california is battling for wildfires around los angeles one person has
