the borders or buried underneath the mud if they know it's going to take a long time for officials to come here and remove all of this debris if it ever happens right now the focus for rescue operations is that they want to find as many people alive as possible they want to try and get food and medical supplies to people as quickly as possible we've seen a lot more helicopters flying around the area and a sign that perhaps more people will be coming in to the place but in this particular area they said so far they have received no direct help from government officials or from aid agencies in terms of food blankets clothes etc but they're hoping that comes soon for the moment though it is a moment of grief families or survivors have managed to come back to the area trying to find out more about their loved ones and some are even trying to rebuild their homes and try to move on their lives. still ahead on al-jazeera albania bad spain gun toter is in with a large construction projects right after the greeks complain it's being built on stolen lands.

other type of firearm into a military style seamy automatic weapon i just don't expect the laws to be passed in three weeks and in the meantime the weapons have been reclassified meaning owners will have to apply for new licenses the message from the prime minister to those gun owners is don't bother trying the gunman who is alleged to have attacked the mosque sport assault rifles legally with a license within modified them using parts he purchased online he was able to fire multiple rounds quickly the guns he used will now be illegal and the loophole he took advantage of to modify them closed. on monday as cabinet met to agree on the law changes the owner of new zealand's largest gun seller held a media conference in christchurch he said he had previously sold four guns to the suspect in the attack but couldn't be sure if any of them we used last friday and he wouldn't be drawn into the issue of gun laws to buy differently will continue as

it appears will more life but this particular diary is not of their begun to bite the government says it will buy weapons off owners in a plan things will cost up to one hundred forty million dollars some have already started handing this back to the police but with no gun register in new zealand it's not known how many are out there tell me the last week or so a lot of people been buying up lots but i mean. they are going to have to look at themselves as the hard stuff and they are and relentless on that simple i think it's a step on the right direction something must change spaced on the last experience and some people could see this as a reaction. cross reaction because of one person the consequences and what we've seen is this terrible and something must change the prime minister says the new laws are just the beginning she says one star past will be a broader review of regulations to try to ensure new zealand never sees another

mass killing wayne hay al jazeera christchurch. u.s. president donald trump says it is time the united states fully recognize israel sovereignty over the golan heights in a tweet in the past hour donald trump said the golan heights is a critical strategic area for the security of israel and for regional stability the golan heights were captured by israel during the six day war in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven the international community has long considered it syrian territory under israeli occupation as go to our un diplomatic editor jane space at the united nations for us james we somewhat expected this in the past few days wiser trumpet ministration recognizing israel's sovereignty over the golan heights now. certainly we had heard whispers about this and it might be coming in the next week or so but it seems that president trump has jumped

the gun i've spoken to diplomats here at the u.n. and a sharp intake of breath at this news because it's our pending settled international position on this since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven since the arab israeli war when israel occupied the golan heights that's how the international community have seen them as occupied territory the united nations the general assembly you know the united nations security council and its resolutions the cortex of which the u.s. is a member all see this as occupied territory and president trump now although we got some indications that it was coming has changed it seems that position are pended things very much in israel's favor no response yet from the assad government in damascus they control the golan heights again it was under the control of opposition forces earlier on in the syrian war we've not be given any indication as

to the reason for trump doing this now but certainly the reason that the administration perhaps with doing it when the next week is i think because an important gathering called a pact that takes place every year in washington d.c. it's the main conference of our of american and israeli cooperation that takes place in washington benjamin netanyahu israeli prime minister is coming for that he's also coming to the white house and it seems for that reason to be timed to coincide with the visit of the israeli prime minister to to the united states and i think also bear in mind that israel has a general election campaign underway so i think those may be the reasons. certainly i think there are some here at the united nations who will say this is most unhelpful the un's position as assent along with the rest of the international

community is that this is occupied territory and to complicate things still further fully there actually are un peacekeepers there on the golan heights separating the israeli and syrian sides more than one thousand peacekeepers that james maes a diplomatic editor at the united nations that go to harry fawcett our correspondent in a west jerusalem harry as james said there an announcement from president coming as the israeli prime minister is headed to washington and also coming as israel is about to vote in elections in just two weeks now what are the implications of this decision by the trumpet ministration. well i think the implications are manifold but if you look at the implications for benjamin netanyahu for his likud party in this election then there are very good this is potentially the best kind of present that donald trump could have given to benjamin netanyahu as he fights what has been a hard fought campaign and one in which he does face

a substantial threat from his main opponent the former israeli army chief benny gantz so this is another opportunity for benjamin netanyahu has just been hosting the u.s. secretary of state here this week and has been using his relationship with donald trump as a key element in his election campaign saying that he's in a different league from his opponents because among other things of this relationship it's another victory for him to talk about in this election campaign indeed he already has talked about it he's tweeted thank you to donald trump that his bold recognition as he put it for his bold recognition of the importance of the golan heights to israeli security but as james was alluding to just then. donald trump can give him this present but it has consequences for the international order it has not on consequences as you're saying for the u.n. and if for instance the golan heights is seen as israeli sovereign territory then

should the united states accept eastern parts of ukraine or should it should accept crimea as sovereign russian territory it has been of opposing the the annexation of crimea so there are further wider reaching consequences but certainly for benjamin netanyahu is about to be hosted at the white house not once but twice next week during the apac conference this is another sign of the trumpet ministrations faith in him and another opportunity for him to tout that relationship as as something important in this election campaign thank you for that harry fox that live there in western slam. in venezuela opposition leader says the arrest of his chief of staff is a sign of weakness by president nicolas maduro roberto merrill was detained after a raid on his house in caracas on thursday morning says the government wouldn't

i welcome to the program i met klug when yugoslavia broke up in the early one nine hundred ninety s. it triggered a three year conflict that led to the worst atrocities in europe since world war two the leader of the bulls in serbs back then was read of encourage he planned the nine hundred ninety five srebrenica massacre where almost eight thousand men and boys were killed in a campaign of genocide against poles noone was lim's when on wednesday the seventy three year old lost his appeal against a forty year sentence u.n. court in the hague increase that to life behind bars survivors of the massacre celebrated but many both still regard courage as a hearing on their gager reports now from the hague. the faces of the dead of the strip it's a massacre remembered by their loved ones victims of the genocide perpetrated by

bosnian serb leader radovan cottage which it has taken nearly twenty five years for justice to be realized a painful journey often bereft of hope. but the wait has finally come to an end kind of listened intently as the court listed his grounds for appeal and rejected them almost entirely the prosecution's appeal in a lot of respects sets aside charges to prod and order wrong side to sending the sentence of forty years of imprisonment and imposes just two pradhan goes into sending a sentence of life imprisonment. outside the tribunal it was a decision welcomed by all who had gathered there but the suffering is never far away for this is all someone i guess or they go about well i am satisfied but i want to ask which school did they go to to learn how to kill our children our sons

our husbands i am satisfied but then again i am not because i no longer have my children. in step and itself tears of relief fell with the tribunals and ousted would increase kind of the sentence. this is one of the last remaining rulings dealing with the brutal breakup of yugoslavia and the sentencing of the church is also being seen as a pollution test holding to factor leaders to account for crimes committed during conflicts. the case has been one of the most high profile legal battles of the yugoslav was more than eight thousand muslim men and boys was slaughtered in the strip and it's a massacre it was the worst genocide to have taken place in europe since world war two well the town has become symbolic of the very worst atrocities that took place in the balkans during the war it has also been a milestone for the legal consequences that followed it took twenty years and let's

hope it's not going to take twenty years for syria for gay men for all of these other places where similar atrocities being committed to an international community have to be more committed to bring justice to defectives way sooner than twenty years now defunct will now spend the rest of his days behind bars his genocidal actions scarred an entire region and they leave behind a legacy of anguish from which many will never recover. al-jazeera the hague. or let's bring in our guests joining us from raleigh north carolina is yasmin. a political scientist a research as the balkans you know university in the reactor in croatia on skype is referee called such a journalist who's worked for the international center for transitional justice in the international criminal tribunal for yugoslavia and in toronto we have. a

professor of humanities a religious studies at york university welcome to you all good to see that we would like to start with with record with a rough week holds that because you are from an area that was at the very heart of the atrocities what does it mean to you to see this life sentence handed down. i think that one prevailing feeling is of. a final. end of a stage in which a lot of our coverage in fact shaped our realities for now close to thirty years. he's been a figure who has first. committed the crimes and dehumanised most importantly an entire population of people in boston you know and left a legacy which lingers on today i think that his verdict especially the verdict which

basically removes him from our midst effectively now opens this base for a new stage and there's danger which we will hopefully find strength to deal with the legacy your dehumanisation and genocide that he leaves behind a miller in toronto a new stage is welcome by all no doubt to try and seek out reconciliation but reconciliation does seem a long way off doesn't it it does allow us the legacy of another man carriages persists and this is something that we have to address it is very difficult of course to undo history over the past thirty years but from now on there must be a way of addressing all those issues that have been left behind he might be now in prison for the for a very long time we don't really know but those who have supported him and those who have in fact built a reality on the ground are still around and bosnia is partitioned in that regard

as well so that has to be addressed ok well let's give this some context now we can look at this the background to everything the bosnian war ended in one thousand nine hundred five with the dayton peace accords the aim was to ease ethnic tensions but they created one of the world's most complicated political systems in the process the country was divided into two entities the federation of by. and herzegovina and republika srpska and bosniaks and croats form the majority in the federation while republika srpska is eighty one percent. instead of one president bosnia has three they represent each ethnicity and share the job they're elected every four years and rotate in the post every eight months as well as the national parliament there are assemblies at the entity and it can tone levels each region has its own parliament and has its own ministers who govern by consensus yes been me out of it it's complicated to say the least and these ethnic divisions were

largely frozen in place by the dayton peace accord when they and that is very much a problem. yes it is i mean it's a structural issue in bosnia herzegovina the ethnic partition as a mill is talking about has created a state where it's very difficult to imagine and in fact enact any kind of meaningful democratic change and which also impacts the possibilities for ordinary citizens to engage in meaningful reconciliation efforts as long as you have the primary political administrative units in the country being essentially solely based on the category of ethnicity which was also the purpose and indeed the intent of people like that of the one cottage to create such a state to create these bond the stunts as long as that remains the lived reality in bosnia herzegovina it's excrete extremely difficult to imagine becoming a functional democratic multi-ethnic and secular state as it should be right but to didn't deconstruct the system is likely to reignite and further inflame an already

difficult situation. i think the reality is for most ordinary bosnians and heard to give any and they have lived with the consequence of. project for the better part of the last almost thirty years and they have lived every day the reality of the dayton peace accords i think there is a widespread albeit quiet recognition that meaningful change is long overdue for bosnia herzegovina obviously there's been efforts made very serious efforts to allow those changes to take place within the framework of e.u. and nato enlargement and that is an absolutely integra part of the story but it must be said that sooner or later bosnia must undergo a process of constitutional change ideally that is a process that will be grassroots led but it will also necessarily involve a significant commitment on the part of the international community to facilitate that process happens in a peaceful manner for all involved what do you think about that what do you think about this process of constitutional change something that's going to be possible

to achieve in the coming years yes i do think that the constitutional change is inevitable. it simply has to happen and i las i don't think it can happen only with the players in bosnia herzegovina it has to happen at the international level it has to be over overseen it has to be in engaged in a way that in some ways. pays attention to the fact that there is a reality and some people in children who were born and grew up within this reality they cannot imagine a different bosnia and they need to in fact come to terms with the history that has actually created it and they need to move towards a civic society which is not. identity which does not prioritize who we are against others but rather civil society civil institutions civil values that have to be taught from scratch and that has to in fact i think be done with international

recognition supervision and engagement and did a terrific there are absurdities out there you have you have schools segregated with students attending the same school but going at different times so they avoid it. look i think the issue here is that there has not been in fact an effort on part of any group including bosnian muslims and its leadership to in fact. do do legs york outages crimes so far it seems that the elites have been happy to rule in their own fiefdoms which allows very much war. rampant corruption and control of their own resources if you look at the report because. you know places like korea that where i come from there is no effort to actually do to rule

constant systematic effort to help people who have returned again. poor women or invest in fact in the integration of the country and that is one of the key problems that republika srpska has never been made by its partners at the state level to acknowledge what has happened and what crimes were committed or root beer its citizens or your boss and most in the crowds so in fact i think this is why i see this moment as an opportunity to actually change the paradigm completely not simply to expect that somehow by miracle people will wake up one day and say oh yes genocide with committed lies and what is that change that like what is changing the paradigm look like in my opinion first of all we have to accept that if we are to insist on constitutional changes today out of the

context that exist it is very unlikely to happen without major major international pressure whether that pressure is realistic to accept expect or not i really cannot say but what can be done again are steps in. knowledge in the crimes that were done repairing the victims repairing the communities which were destroyed and having that process in fact catalyze what the miller is talking about in terms of civil society engagement that can lead to a situation where constitutional change that is required is in fact possible when the look of constitutional changes what i'm after. doesn't it what what's your view of that how would it shape up at the moment we have three presidents how would we change that well i mean again i think we should be reticent at this stage in

particular to to not engage in sort of concrete blueprints or spell or concrete blueprints because that itself comes in a tremendous source of can't. and acrimony and bosnia herzegovina unfortunately i think what needs to be emphasized is is something that. already gestured at that is that in so much as bosnia is continuously told to be a state with a european and indeed perhaps even one hopes i hope an atlantic future as well it is a state that must move towards a meaningful liberal democratic reform i think in this way what it means is that there is and can and should be an accommodation between the rights of individuals and the rights of communities and certain kinds of ethnic rights and certain kinds of ethnic interests as it were but you cannot have this kind of. sick tarion state that we have at present it's a given it can and should look to states like south africa which have gone through similar experiences of dealing with with tremendous trauma tremendous historical

injustices in the past even places like canada which obviously deal with a multiplicity of communities crimes and indeed a cultural genocide that was can be committed against the indigenous peoples in canada as well so there's a multiplicity of examples that are available to us but what it requires is the first step to get to everything that both he can amila have been talking about is a joint commitment joint campaign of pressure building both at the grassroots local level in bosnia herzegovina and of course a meaningful commitment to meet in pull reaching out on the part of key international states to say that yes this is possible yes we will accommodate this and yes we will support these efforts so that bosnia can become a vibrant multiethnic liberal democracy. this is a member of the presidency that will not go to the he has said that the yugoslav war crimes court was designed to build trust among both new form a wall for years but is instead driven them further apart that seems to be true.

yes i think that we can criticize of course of the course and we can criticize the whole procedure and how long it has taken but i think it's extremely important to acknowledge on the one hand it's symbolic power and also it's put its potential to become a platform for change symbolically of course it sends a message that if you do such things you will not be treated as a natural disaster it is not as if some terrible metaphor fell on those the and destroyed the communities it is an act of political systematic project of genocide of removal of the humanisation as if he mentions and so on so forth so this way there is an agency and there is a person and there are people who are held responsible and therefore it is a message it's a symbolic message that that such things should be held accountable by international community it's also i think symbolic in the sense that we should be

just saw in new zealand what has happened there is an inspiration that this has leaked over into into international scene perhaps surreptitiously but it's out there we need to come together as a as an international community that upholds certain of bad news about the. human rights about the value of human life and proceed from there so dog at this point of course we'll have to find a way of both acknowledging that that's process had to happen but also that it is now fault and this is not unusual i mean it is not unusual to see denial that there is any legitimacy in this but legitimacy has been given an international seal and i think that is a very powerful statement that international community can now go with and then started the process of change that both us mean and talk about and that i think is imminent it has to happen right away. that you brought up the sort of nationalism

was going to move on to the concept of white supremacy. talked about new zealand in the suspect in new zealand's mosque attacks it seems was inspired by kurdish and seven nationalist heroes. at home and away from the region candidates his extremist ideas still gain a lot of traction especially in this this changing world of leaders who have these nationalistic visions i agree i think that. the key concept here is the dehumanization of muslims that cottage has shaped as an ideology which allowed for all these crimes of extermination and genocide to take place because don't forget we had decades of living in the concept of brotherhood and unity and in order for people to be able to actually engage in this convo allan's against their neighbors their neighbors had to be dehumanized to the

level of vermin that needed to be removed for death kind of just went into history and found examples many examples of the suffering of the people and of the ottomans or was the shows in in the second world war to basically send a message that these were dissing people who inflicted this suffering on the serbs on the christians and that they could not live together these are the messages that brant brant and tyrant. brave dick and white supremacist across the world are taking as their own messaging in dealing with quote unquote invaders muslims who they see as a foreign cancerous body in. christian society and that is deeply deeply troubling and if that if that the humanization is not to burst at the source we are it was in fact implemented in boston then there is no way that.

messaging good morning. yasmin is that where you fritz really occurred is that he played on the idea of this clash of soup of civilizations which seems to have a growing appeal to the dog of the world yeah absolutely i mean i think there's two points to be made the first is essentially what if it was just saying that we have to be cognisant the manner in which cottages served this project in the project of of course his benefactor slobodan milosevic and serbia those who initiated these these genocidal campaigns of the one nine hundred ninety s. that project remains very much active and alive within the sort of narrative and ideological framework of the global far right and obviously it's having catastrophic and horrifying consequences for our friends and colleagues and you zealand and of course it's as if it was mentioning that this is not the first time that we have noted this not only was a present in the terrorist attacks in norway

a number of years ago but of course for those of us who research and spend any time looking at the narratives and the discourses of the global far right. project of the one thousand nine hundred has become a major ideological pillar of how they understand the contemporary world it has arguably sort of entered. their mainstream their proverbial mainstream on par with things like the holocaust and the crimes of the nazis with things like the apartheid regime in south africa and zimbabwe the american confederacy things like that so it's very much become a meme in the true sense of the word in their worldview the other aspect that must be acknowledged is that at this very moment the government is the government. that can and does her to goodness r.-s. entity is at this very moment to engaging in an orchestrated an organized campaign of historical revisionism and denialism that features by organizing the so-called committee commission to reinvestigate the evidence of genocide in the broader

crimes against humanity. took place in bosnia herzegovina as part of the broader bosnian genocide and that commission includes a number of individuals from from europe and from the wider world so there is a real global phenomenon there's a group real global resonance to what that other one cottage slobodan milosevic and all their cohort did in the one nine hundred ninety s. and it's and it's crucial that it be recognized as a an immediate threat to communities not just in the balkans or an end bus here it's having a but indeed everywhere where we value multiculturalism and multiethnic city. as a. carrot it is free to maybe go on but it seems his poisonous project if you like is still very much alive where do you find for optimism. cottage has indeed and his projects have destroyed so much of bosnia and we will be touched

upon of course the biological destruction the killing of people displacement we haven't mentioned much other forms of this genocide such as cultural destruction the which under the un banner is not to be named as cultural genocide. but nevertheless it is it's a form of saying you do not belong here and i will not just rewrite your future i'm going to rewrite your history so displacement is is more complex you know there is another of course yet another element and that is rape camps in which the idea of ethnic cleansing through impregnating nonsense women with serbian semen is a way of propagating great a serbian identity and so on so forth so the legacy has been both psychological and real in material and it does take a lot of costs trauma of course effort to to deal with it with those with with

things that people feel i mean i think yesterday was in the a highly emotional day and i think that there was no daily catharsis for say there was simply an acknowledgment this had to be somehow given a seal and then move let's move on but i think what the what's something that ethic and yes i mean have already alluded to and that is the humanisation that continues at schools you mentioned the segregation we have a situation where children are asked not to walk on the same street and don't not to have a recess at the same time so as not to meet there for the if we can you know easily say it's a start at home but home is not always the place to do it because people have been brainwashed that their identity is somehow glued to other people's identities people who are who are of the same religious or ethnic background and therefore they have to. up to each other those who can do the change are those who will be taught at school that these symbols are no longer value that they have no meaning

to our world that these so-called turkish yoke and the and muslims and non muslims and the end of the you know that that kind of clash of civilization is really has no longer any kind of use to it so the ball can be gentle any age and for that matter ok and they will have fun even though long it in our history that we can draw till it is certainly an important moment it remains to be seen how many days of a turning point this will be thank you to all our guests to us from janowicz to referee code switch and to meet with the group and thank you for watching you can see the program again every time by visiting website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion just go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com ford slash a.j. inside story and you can also of course join the conversation on twitter handle is that a.j. inside story i mean o'clock and the whole team i felt. i.

discuss with for their readers all requests for extension the chronicle fifty. the e.u. looks set to give the u.k. prime minister extension but not for as long and with strings attached. and i'm fully back to bill in doha with the rest of the world headlines this hour u.s. president donald trump says it's time to recognize israeli sovereignty over the golan heights the territory is rouse syria in one nine hundred sixty seven also this hour tragedy on the tigris river a ferry capsizes in the iraqi city of mosul killing at least eighty three people. on sports coming up as one of the legends of baseball says goodbye to his home crowd in tokyo after a twenty year major league career. we begin in brussels where we're expecting e.u.

leaders to announce any moment now whether they'll grant an extension to the date the u.k. is due to leave the bloc currently just over a week away is being reported grant a short delay but only until may the twenty second the day before european parliamentary elections and the brics it withdrawal deal they've agreed with the u.k. prime minister it will need to pass through the british parliament first but that deal has been rejected by u.k. he's twice already to resume has spent the day in the belgian capital appealing to european leaders to approve a longer delay. this today is a matter of personal regret to me but a short extension would give parliament the time to make a final choice that delivers on the results of the referendum but we used to not forget that we here is leaders of twenty eight countries discussing the global challenges that we face and i've always said that all they were leaving the european union of course we will continue to have shared interests notably among those our shared security and prosperity. i don't know how it is outside the

british parliament but first to tell our history in brussels or into getting reports that the e.u. when you've got a short extension what are you hearing. yes i mean it's exactly as planned lauren it's basically a desperate friday take attempts by the e.u. twenty seven to avoid the day of catastrophe as they would all say it's of no deal the grandfather had all been laid last night by the passages who that there were different opinions across across the bloc some people were in favor longer extension the french were being very angry and saying there might veto the whole thing because they were so frustrated with the way in which the british parliament has been unable to come so that any sort of conclusion but they eventually compromised on this plan which rules out sarees amaze attempts to get them to delay breck's it until the end of june the e.u. said it was not prepared to countenance that on the basis that that would run

straight through european elections at the end of may and would create a legal and political a very grave issue for them because you'd effectively have the u.k. still in the european union through those elections but without any piece members of the european parliament and that would create a massive legal issue for the european union so they said you can't do that unless there are any last minute hitches that we really comes imagine when donald tusk the president of the european council which speaks for the twenty seventh and the head of the executive the european commission gave a news conference which we're expecting any minute now they will announce that they are prepared to offer the u.k. an extension until may the twenty second that's the day before the european elections but it comes with a message carry out which is their only allow their very bad to do it to resume a get said deal passed inside the british parliament at the third attempt next week and remember she's already lost. the vote on her deal twice by enormous margins they don't. frankly expected to win that vote on the third attempt next week but

they're prepared to give it a shot in the interest of avoiding a no deal catastrophe and an a in a clean break for the u.k. from the european union that friday said no exit at the risk of having getting ahead of ourselves if she doesn't get it through next week then what from from the new side. well we were talking about this last night one way and the great question that everybody keeps asking not just here but in the british cabinet and the british parliament as well is what are you going to do mrs may if you loose your vote for the final time probably next choose day. that the fact is she won't say by all accounts this was the question that we thought they'd ask us and they did what she plan b. if you lose next tuesday are you going to simply take the nuclear option and say fine that's it we've tried and we're leaving on friday with no deal that's one option the other option is she might resign cola general election she might revoke

article fifty and abandon the plan entirely to leave the european union but she said she won't do that she might sit back and say it's a palm it's ok come up with something else they can't tell us i'm going to pound the over and over again in the meeting where she pitched to have the delay what is your plan b. and by all accounts she was evasive and just simply wouldn't say what's her plan and that created enormous problem for the european union because they have said that they will try as hard as they possibly can with every tool at their disposal to avoid no dale including an emergency summit here this time next week but the colts plan any sort of strategic base that all twenty seven members can agree on if she simply keeps refusing to say what she might do if she loses the vote and she won't say and it just creates this enormous headache because ship is not to be able to say to anybody at school what was her alternative arrangement is thank you very much in the. town hall. not at westminster so if we suggested that the u.k.

parliament does they tongue he'll a third time next week and recent history suggests it wouldn't pass and would that still be the same. president suggests as much this is a deeply unpopular deal a large number of m.p.'s warry that in the provisions of the northern ireland backstop it has the potential of trapping this country as supplicants the european union with no control over its economic and trade policies possibly indefinitely essentially surrendering sovereignty when this entire exercise is supposed to be about taking back sovereignty and control she lost two votes by epic margins of defeat she would have to turn around seventy five m. b.'s to win it this time that would involve turning around a fairly large number of labor party m.p.'s on the opposition benches and that would have been a big oscar anyway before the speech that she gave last night to the nation widely now considered to be

a disastrous move where she sort of publicly demonized the whole house of commons all of the m.p.'s as being the reason for this entire mess because they're sort of time wasters bent on frustrating the will of the people so it is not looking likely what happens next as lawrence was outlining there lots of options nobody knows i tell you the big fear here is the to reason may may have already decided that the second best option after her deal is no deal she may have decided that as a way of exceeding to the powerful right of her own party as a way of preventing her party from splitting apart if that is what she's decided it will be extremely difficult to stop or that be a scramble in this house to try and overturn the business of the house to take back control of it and change the exit date from march the twenty ninth but extremely difficult to sort of horror scenario of a runaway prime minister trying to drag this country off the brakes it cliff in the dying hours and minutes before eleven pm. next friday night it's now looking more

and more real and very briefly mentioned the her speech last night and that seemed to really raise the hackles actually making some progress on brains of people around until when you think. it's hard to tell i mean if she hadn't been making any any public progress with the deal be that all now and democratic unionists the ten employees on whom she relies for george to do the most put out by the backstop they she was hoping to win around and if they had had she won the ground a lot of her own m.p.'s might have followed suit but it didn't look like she was making it to this tremendous about a head way but a lot of people would have kept the clock cards very close to their chest anyway until the moment of the vote so it was never certain to say it does seem though that with that speech last night she has so significantly outraged so many employees that whatever sympathy may have been building in favor may well have been squandered. thank you very much indeed. and we'll bring you that news

conference in brussels at the moment it happens but that's it for me in london back to doha. yes present donald trump says it's time the united states fully recognize israel's sovereignty over the golan heights in a tweet charm said the golan heights is a critical strategic area for the security of israel and for regional stability the golan heights were captured by israel during the six day war in one nine hundred sixty seven the international community has not considered a syrian territory under israeli occupation israeli prime minister binyamin yes benyamin netanyahu thanks for what he called a bold move. and just as root. i've heard that one of your people because your.

first or your record. to the government gives them a few. then. pulled out the soft tissue we both learned but now it is our. storyboard. reading these rules for doing the color of the car with iran is trying to apply. to a darker story in the message the president is giving the rule is that america stands by this you. will be speaking to harry fawcett in jerusalem in just a moment but first to our diplomatic editor james space at the united nations headquarters in new york james had been whispers in the last few days of this happening why is a trump administration recognizing israel sovereignty over the golan heights now.

want once again the trumpet ministration are pending the international consensus on the middle east and what to do about the middle east positions that have held for very many years president trump seems to be jumping his own gun on twitter as you say we've heard that maybe this was coming next week i think the actual timing for it right now is because of what is happening next week and that's the annual gathering a pact which is a conference it's the most important conference of israeli american interest takes place every year in washington d.c. and prime minister netanyahu you just heard there is coming this year in person and he's also having a visit to the white house so this is clearly something that i think president trump wanted to give to prime minister netanyahu as a personal gift but remember it's also a political gift because right now we're in the middle of an israeli election

campaign indeed in the international community recognizes as you say the golan heights a syrian territory under israeli occupation what consequences for the international order this u.s. decision.
