president donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital the departure from seventy years of u.s. policy on the contested city has been widely criticized in this prompted protests across the arab and muslim worlds demonstrators gathered outside the u.s. embassies in the capitals of malaysia and indonesia on friday to muslim majority countries in asia and more protests are expected in the palestinian territories on thursday dozens of demonstrators were injured when israeli soldiers fired tear gas and rubber coated bullets in the occupied west bank the mass which controls the gaza strip has called for a new uprising against israel and in a few hours from now the u.n. security council will hold an emergency meeting to discuss trump's declaration the u.n. secretary general antonio good television insists that the status of jerusalem must be resolved through direct israeli palestinian talks where we have al-jazeera correspondents in different parts of the palestinian territories harry force that's
1:03 pm
live for us in occupied east jerusalem but of smith's in gaza city but first let's speak with the maid who's in ramallah in the occupied west bank what's the mood there right now. well at the moment it's a very quiet friday prayers ongoing and it's usually after the prayers a do youth make their way to for example this area just behind me that building is actually the headquarters of the israeli occupation in the. occupied west bank so this area is one of the main traditional flashpoints between the palestinian youth and the israeli military now the israelis had announced yesterday that they had actually reinforced their military presence across the occupied west bank by several but the allianz bear in mind that each but talent is about eight hundred soldiers that's like quite a considerable number of reinforcements across this area and yesterday they were
1:04 pm
clashes basically had a hold of flashpoints whether it's here in ramallah and bethlehem and in other cities and towns we do expect the same thing today you know these clashes are basically the most immediate and actually expected way reaction that usually happens each time it is a crisis between the two sides but obviously the issue of jerusalem being if i can say that way the mother of all crisis between the two sides it's very difficult to predict how how they will unfold will they pick up steam will they. out but i think also the by and large palestinians now have all their eyes on president mahmoud abbas he gave his speech in the immediate aftermath of the announcement some thought that that speech was a big chew week he talked about steps he's going to take there waiting to hear what they should do going to be some of them wanting the president to put to take
1:05 pm
some bold movement even some of them go as far as saying we should dissolve the palestinian authority and give the whole patient under the responsibility of the israelis so you have many different ideas among palestinians but there were. the thing to hear from their leadership what happened to the last twenty years of negotiations and was the outcome of that all right how many things did i made that in ramallah let's go live to walk upright east jerusalem i was there as harry forces there what's the mood there harry. well the mood here for now is being is quiet it has been all morning we're not seeing here outside damascus gate outside the old city the same kind of protests that we saw yesterday but the big difference of course is that today is friday friday prayers currently going on inside the old city at a luxor mosque among other places where thousands of palestinians worshipping and so that the question is what happens after those prayers will there be much more
1:06 pm
widespread protests inside jerusalem in saudi occupied east jerusalem itself as we saw in the west bank and in gaza on thursday the police are saying that they have sent reinforcements into and around the old city and into occupied east jerusalem and they stand ready but they haven't put in place the kinds of restrictions that we saw during the last major mass protest in july when people are protesting against the imposition of metal detectors there at that holiest site in islam there are no age restrictions police say they are assessing the situation as it continues . very many thanks indeed. herefore in the occupied east jerusalem how mass which controls the gaza strip has called for a new into fight or uprising against israel let's go live to gaza city now to serious burn a smith bernard smith is there bernard what's the mood in gaza right now. well aging of course hamas has handed over control of the gaza strip to the palestinian authority some time ago and the now in the process of giving control of
1:07 pm
institutions to people from the palestinian or far too but nevertheless while we speak friday prayers are echoing around garza coming from the mosques around the city and we can hear the m. oms reminding people of the importance of jerusalem to muslims we've heard also criticism of other countries in the arab world for not saying enough in defense of jerusalem in the wake of donald trump's announcement and we've called also heard criticism of america we've heard the call for people to go out and protest and as my colleagues have said in parties through sloman in the occupied west bank we are expecting palestinians here to protest of course they're not able to travel to other parts of the palestinian territories from gaza because israel has effectively closed its border between gaza and israel so the protests will be mainly here at different parts of gaza and also there may be as there were yesterday some confrontations on the border fence between israel and gaza where people who were
1:08 pm
throwing stones at the israelis israelis responded with some live fire and tear gas yesterday age all right we'll keep you work up to speed with the offense across the palestinian territories in the coming hours for the moment but a big thanks indeed well earlier crowds of protesters marched towards the u.s. embassy in the laziest capital kuala lumpur prime minister najib razak says that he's opposed to trump's decision he's called on all muslims to protest against the move florence louis is there. 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 to raise them at 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 band of the plaque on it that crushed zionism that said things like and zionism is not the same as anti semitism people would trade in the color of the

1:12 pm
point was what will become of the only land border between them northern ireland and the republic of ireland which is in the years the republic wanted guarantees it will remain open with no return to a so-called hard border with border guards the government coalition partners in northern ireland the democratic unionist party vetoed an earlier version of the deal and force may back to the drawing board the result 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 even though it's only stage one of negotiations e.u. citizens living in britain and british citizens residing in europe did get some certainty about their future the deal we've struck will guarantee the rights of more than three million e.u. citizens living in the u.k. and of a million u.k.

1:14 pm
there is still work to be done. a negotiation on a number of issues such as the governance of our agreement or for instance. there are more to take. me parker joins us now live from london if this is being hailed as a victory by its reason bade her allies but it's only really the start of a very long process isn't it. it is indeed a layover aka the irish prime minister speaking this morning described it as only the end of the beginning what's about to unfold is likely to be hellishly complicated but because of how bumpy the road has been to this point it's probably going to be a day in which the likes of to resume a david davis ukase break six secretaries will be out celebrating they will want to put this across to british voters as a huge milestone to put paid to criticism that might not even happen
1:15 pm
a tool we expect to reason may to be returning from brussels to possibly give a statement outside downing street possibly later on in the week to give a statement in the house of commons the lower chamber of parliament for now definitely it's going to be a point in which policy going to be congratulating each other she's faced a tremendous amount of pressure from within their own ranks the possibility of a rebellion amongst hard break cities he wanted some key points to be included in this deal that she's eventually had to compromise upon and also she's faced the loss of some key figures within her cabinet see brawled in either sexual misconduct allegations or forced to resign of breaking ministerial code so important for her the prime minister but most certainly a vast amount of work now to begin in order to get to this point needs. to both sides compromise or did did one side give way more than the other. i
1:16 pm
think it's fair to say that both sides compromise but there were some red lines that some of the break cities including to reserve may so that they would be prepared to cross have actually been crossed if we take a look at the three sticking points they are of course the bricks bill some parts of the it would have to pay anything at all there are some very key figures bandied around everything between nineteen billion dollars or one hundred nineteen billion dollars we now know that it's going to be somewhere between fifty billion and seventy billion dollars. the exact figure will probably not be known for several months when it comes to the irish border situation we now have some guarantees that there will be no return to a hard border no border down the middle of the irish sea but some compromise over e.u. nationals living in the u.k. they will still be subject to jurisdiction from the european court of justice that was certainly a red line that cities don't want to cross so definitely some key concessions from
1:17 pm
to resubmit her government over this all right need many thanks dave back to their live in london let's speak to where peter gagan who's an irish journalist and writer joins us now live from glasgow via skype peter good to have you with us what are your thoughts on this. i think it's really interesting we really what we're seeing is a very classic example of what goes on and has gone on in irish politics fifteen or an hour and for a long time which is a soldierly you know you're hearing today everyone saying that they feel that they got something out of this you know treat them a gold. pro precious minister johnson or progress you can go a minister saying that they felt like this was a good deal out of the same time that irish prime minister your broker and many many scenery people all say that this is a good day if you know this is a good day in reality what it does look like you know when you step back from it is it really is a pretty much a series of climb downs from new york from the united kingdom on an unknown number of points particular to divorce settlement the divorce billy money money they pay you know
1:18 pm
a few months ago they're saying that they wouldn't pay anything and now we're looking at a figure of between forty and sixty billion euros a on the irish border in particular to this incident but a little bit less on citizens' rights after he leaves the european union a little old hand really on whether this face to talks can be made a real deal can come out of that so a lot of precious time to move down the road but all these issues i'm not unresolved at the same time and i think that's what allows different sides to feel like they're got something out of it because it's really a close to allow the process to move from phase one which is just clearing up these issues to face to talk about the future relationship between united kingdom and the rest to european union after breakfast but will the pro brigs it politicians that are in the cabinet into reason may's capital feel that she's gone too far with the concessions that the she's given. that's going to be very interesting to say to see i think that's the crucial question once again really this all going to come down to internal conservative party politics we had
1:19 pm
a month ago on the radio here in the u.k. this morning selling the deal he's quite a seen as quite hardline progress of voice which was interesting but we're already starting to smell i'm going to get a sense from behind the scenes some dissent on this and you can kind of understand from look we're not hard praxis here is why this is you know we commissioned to everyone an ordinary and still retaining e.u. membership we're going to have european courts of justice having some say in united kingdom imperfect jewishly really because of northern ireland but also in the rest united kingdom for at least eight years having said to not have to pay to have to pay a lot of money and also probably the biggest issues still going to be around or not and end text of this document they're talking about a sense of regulation realigns between regulation of convergence between northern ireland you know kingdom and the republic of ireland which means that it's going to be very difficult to do the sort of open free trade deals with the united states in the press or was the reason for access and i think for
1:20 pm
a lot of bret's it's news and possibly for a lot of the folgers in general they're going to look at they stand so well this looks a lot like being in new york but you know what it was the point what's what's why are we doing this if it's not going to be the kind of press that we imagine or we want it to be peter really good to talk to many thanks to peter gaytan there in glasgow russia's foreign minister says that north korea wants direct talks with the united states so gay lover of passed on the message to u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson in vienna on thursday it follows the north's latest launch of a missile which it says can hit anywhere in america and threats of nuclear retaliation by donald trump the u.s. and south korea wrapping up a week of military exercises pyongyang has long called for an end to the joint drills. 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
1:21 pm
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 get more now from observers kathy novak who's in seoul. this apparent message from north korea relayed through the russian foreign minister to the united states follows two high level visits to north korea the first by a chinese and boy and the second just this week by the u.n. political affairs chief that was the first visit to north korea of a senior u.n. official in six years now as far as south korea is concerned the government here says it wants to maintain sanctions and pressure against north korea to bring the
1:22 pm
government to the negotiating table south korea says the offer for intercourse talks remains open but that north korea has not been responding to that invitation one south korean government minister has suggested that could be because north korea only wants to speak directly to the united states but we heard from the u.s. state department spokeswoman that the u.s. believes that north korea is showing no signs of being willing to sit down and have a serious conversation as long as it continues to fire off a list of missiles before the most recent launch of an i.c.b.m. it had been more than two months since north korea had tested a missile or a nuclear bomb now in the wake of this latest launch it seems the timing is tricky and the united states is refusing to have any talks directly with north korea but speak to underline culture is a professor of korean studies at the cumia news university he joins us now live from seoul good to have you with us professor those are great surprise here but
1:23 pm
north korea launching its latest missile announcing that it can now reach the mainland united states actually is ready to talk is that. world it's not a big surprise there used to be two possible explanations of what they're going to do and if your sister was violence as they teach the poor in the cafe ability or teachings that continue until united states they will try to sit down and talk negotiate if it's a matter or future a new clear tests and missile launches in exchange of political and military and economical. concessions from the united states and so i was getting so it was first option second option many people do afraid and still a afraid that if such a deal is not cheap more scary else will continue to further develop their nuclear forces they miss our forces getting more and more their genes so the current news is very encouraging. the north says it's ready to talk the us though as we heard
1:24 pm
there says that it's not at least until north korea begins to disarm what are we to make of that. oh not to good news unlike said you know if it sells as a. talk of girl because you the united states door and accept. the new this offer if the united states deal on a promise to denuclearized as a kind of premium in that it condition it's essential to end nor start because north koreans did lead to turn out to keep their nuclear force the so what happened to add that the government in libya this saw what happened to saddam in iraq and they're afraid of bourse for the tech or their mystical devotion supported from overseas therefore they believe they should have nuclear weapons with their logic as they have said many times is simple had connel cudahy had nuclear weapons he
1:25 pm
probably will be still alive and in control of his country or and so where does this go from here are we likely to see talks between the u.s. and north korea anytime soon and who's going to mediate those tools. obviously russia is going to be maybe russia is unpopular last get here but it's significant the list popular than any other major country most go to just don't trust anybody russia include but they mistrust of russia easy significant deal or and all us your bonds that i have been a great deal of simic on the future will exchanges between washington on more school and chung yon and sometimes soul various possibilities have been discussed gratian is how we have to reach extend people in blushing decision makers in washington will be interested because of violence again if we don't get it in the
1:26 pm
next year or two that this situation which is an overweight acquired bet is going to become serious divorce and there is of course a use call for it he'll large scale war just aiming decades in many creates we've. all real war even carry you saw its you'll be quite a divisive only five americans accept this idea creation is how we have the any sense remarks earlier of course well if by me just by leaning because have americans been too fast and accepting the last guardian proposal will probably it will be a good diplomacy tool because in this walled diplomatic world you very often cannot distinguish when something is said because well it's what is meant to be all when something is said just on or braise the price tags is a bit like bargaining on the market sometimes professor let's hope americans are bargaining maybe thinks the professor good to talk to you. thank you millions of people in southern california are being warned not to breathe in smoke from

1:36 pm
a problem small seeing one hundred million u.s. dollars for the lebanese army so there is some who weighs that we are expecting to put some more details about at the end of this meeting the cheshire body thanks for that live in paris. for now top story the global protest against donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital millions of palestinians were driven from their homes when israel was created many of them have been living in neighboring lebanon for decades so in the heart of the demonstration in the refugee camp they roots what's happening where you are. well like you mentioned below refugee camp just one of twelve refugee camps in lebanon there are no tents here it's now neighborhoods because these people have been here for seventy years many of them born here their parents grandparents fortunately palestine in one thousand forty eight there is protest action in all these camps people taking to the streets denouncing trump the decision showing
1:37 pm
solidarity with their brethren. people really feel very betrayed a lot of them tell you that arab leaders. now we've lost the truth but at the same time a lot of defiance saying that we need to support the intifada that is the only way forward now the right to return this is something they've been clinging on to her so many years they've lost hope in one way or another but they propped up there was an international consensus that they would not lose jerusalem so now a lot of anger a lot of. there were lots. palestine is my country jerusalem as its internal capital no matter what anyone says it will remain our country east to west south to north god willing to get it back and the dream of netanyahu and would be fulfilled. was a good thing we have a message to trump and the whole world we will not accept a new balfour declaration jerusalem and palestine our bread lines palestine
1:38 pm
jerusalem have a man and they will defend it and love it we want to thank chum for his declaration he woke up the arab nation united the arabs the intifada will continue on the czar's. the palestinian refugees who are condemning the decision many lebanese as well as lebanese leaders the president the prime minister the speaker of parliament are calling this decision dangerous and it's going to cause an ability in the region has the armed group is calling for a mouse rally on monday now calling on the supporters to take to the streets calling for more protest action and telling the palestinians that they should not get engaged in any sort of peace process and that arab leaders come together and declare jerusalem as the capital of palestine so a lot of anger in lebanon not just among palestinian refugees but anybody thanks data says there's a lot of there in southern beirut let's bring in troops where he has an associate
1:39 pm
professor of contemporary history of the middle east. studies at university he joins us now in the studio it's obvious that anger is running pretty high the leader of hamas has called for a new into fatah how seriously though will will people take his comments i think people are taking very serious comment to. smell any is the. ramifications of the palestinian division which was basically continuous continues for many years now has its own impact as well on the. intifada. possible intifada what's been seen in the last few i would say a few hours or three days it was obvious that there was sort of you know shock of what. trump has announced. however it should not be a shock in my opinion because this is one of his you know his promises to his
1:40 pm
voters in his campaign when he promises to recognize. jerusalem as a couple so i think should not be surprised for not a but if there are muslims because that's one of his promises to his voters and this and i think trump since he came to the white house he tried to fulfill his commitment to the voters one on the nuclear iran and now this is the second one on his foreign policy so we're waiting to see what happens in the palestinian territories in in in israel or it in the west bank i'm sorry. once friday prayers have finished and to what extent then would it be counterproductive given what you've said for palestinians to act this this day of rage i'm sure protest but how far could it go i think i think palestinians that is one of the you know tools to pressure and to announce or to inform the international community that is you know palestinians are not happy with this but this is not enough i mean they need to work with the international
1:41 pm
