israeli forces and settlers enter the al aqsa mosque compound several palestinians are detained. cathles foreign minister says dialogue could not condemnation is what's needed when dealing with tehran. u.s. president donald trump is on his way to the u.k. for a state visit find out why some brits would be so welcoming. to top american officials have expressed a vastly different views of the trump administration's lower waited middle east peace plan the moshing composed obtained an audio recording of mike pompei the secretary of state in which he seemed to take a pessimistic view of the still secret plot and alexia brian explains. secretary of state was speaking to leaders of jewish organizations in the u.s.

when he gave his candid assessment of the so-called deal of the century. he said it could be argued that the white house plan for peace between israel and the palestinians is executable i get why people think this is going to be. a deal that only the israelis i understand the perception of. the space. and back we we have struck the right place the palestinians have already dismissed the plan outright calling it a blueprint for israeli domination probably going to be described as historians as the biggest laughingstock of any diplomatic on paper negotiation that doesn't even get underway in history i mean it is dead on arrival and pompei o is actually to our surprise revealing that his own personal opinion on this is that it's not going

to go very far at all the u.s. has enraged the palestinians by moving its embassy to jerusalem and causing aid to the palestinian authority despite the white house adviser jared cushion told the h.b.o. program xers the deal was in the palestinians best interest regards the palestinian people i do believe that they want to have a better life and i do think that they're not going to join in my being well they're not going to judge anything based on trusting me you're trusting anyone else they're going to judge you based on the facts and then make a determination do they think this will allow them to have a pathway to a better life or not cushion has been in jerusalem rallying support holding talks with prime minister benjamin netanyahu the day after parliament was dissolved and an unprecedented 2nd election called just 7 weeks after the last one they want to get their act together. got elected now all of a sudden they're going to go through the process again till september that's ridiculous so we're not happy about that but if we can get

a feel good. rollout of trump's deal of the century is already delayed if it's releases. pushed back any fear that it will end up being overtaken by campaigning for the u.s. presidential election and 2020 meaning the deal could be over before it's even become the next year brian al-jazeera. john houghton is the washington post national security reporter who have told this audio recording and he says in a pig is my home day and he's trying to manage expectations this is a big climb down from the initial rhetoric of the ultimate deal secretary pompei was very frank in his remarks to jewish leaders it was his view that it's very possible that this is not going to pan out they have all of these precondition planned for what happens if it's rejected outright in israel tries to annex parts of the west bank very much acknowledging that this could definitely not pan out

jared has been the main architect of this plan of course and pump ale has been largely watching from the side so it gives him a little bit of distance to look at it what they're going to announce in bahrain is this economic component of of the measures they weren't going to deal with the sort of hard security issues over that and that raised a lot of questions about can you even talk about economic development when you don't resolve the security issues with which so many investors base their decision on and so their goal was roll out this economic plan and then roll out the more difficult one later but the political crisis in israel right now means that netanyahu is asking the american government if it can wait before before announcing this deal but the longer the americans wait the closer they get to present trump being in full reelection mode. well all of this says israeli forces enter the al aksa mosque compound in occupied east jerusalem and they use pepper spray and they

detained a number of palestinians who were worshipping inside a large group of israeli settlers also went into the compound alongside the military herefore said reports. protests inside the mosque compound in the last days of ramadan the word had gone round that israeli security forces were about to allow access to hundreds of nationalist israelis gathered outside usually the compound introduces the temple mount is off limits to non muslims in the last 10 days of ramadan but not this time for the present how to be allowed to say israel wants this to be a religious war and this will bring about destruction and israel is responsible for the results of this aggression it is unprecedented aggression against the worshippers and against muslims al aqsa mosque hundreds of settlers are allowed in a muslims are not allowed to walk in from the gates of the old city. the jewish activists who are marking what's known in israel as jerusalem day the anniversary

according to the jewish calendar of the day israel seized east jerusalem in 1967 last month it was understood israeli authorities had decided to bar access to jews on jerusalem day because it coincided with the end of ramadan but on the day itself they decided differently last week sunday monday and tuesday the temple mount was open and the regular visits wednesday thursday there were indications that the statement says that we had to close it this morning the situation was relatively calm and our units responded allowing on the jerusalem set of racial days regular visits on the temple mount inside the old city preparations were under way ahead of the next potential flash point of the day well there's a heightened israeli security forces presence here inside the narrow streets of the old city where you can see that shopkeepers are starting to close up their shops it's ahead of what we're expecting in the next 3 minutes large scale marches of ultranationalist and religious nationalist israel. jews carrying flags celebrating what they call jerusalem day it's

a yearly tradition for the shopkeepers here but concerns this year were particularly acute after the morning's incident. a few meters away outside damascus gate the marchers were arriving many of them settlers many of them teenagers all of them here to make their presence felt for the participants this is a commemoration of a great victory a reclaiming of a religious and national capital for the palestinians who live here under occupation it's an expression of power and of ownership that many find deliberately provocative or a force it out 0 occupied east jerusalem. the u.s. secretary of state might pompei has said the u.s. is ready to sit down with a wrong for talks with no preconditions about its nuclear program it appears to be a softening of rhetoric though my pompei did add that the u.s. would not shy away from confronting what he called it raney an aggression we're prepared we're prepared to engage in

a conversation with no preconditions we're ready to sit down with them but the american effort to fundamentally. reverse the malign activity of this as lawmakers republic this revolutionary force is going to continue but iran has said relations have got to return to normal in order for there to be further dialogue and both sides have been trading threats for weeks. more now from our correspondent in the iranian capital tehran saying. ever since the united states pulled out of the 2050 nuclear deal it has widened what was already a sizable trust gap between washington so the latest comments from u.s. secretary of state mike comp aoe of talking to iran with no preconditions though a positive sign of a softer tone from washington was received here into heroin by iranian leaders with a great deal of suspicion in a statement from iran's foreign ministry the spokesman abbas mousavi said for the

islamist republic of iran wordplay and expressing a hidden agenda with new words is not the foundation for practical actions for iran the basis is the united states altering its approach and practical behavior towards the nation of iran but mr pompei was emphasis on the continuation of maximum pressure on iran shows it is the same long running old approach that needs to be revised so the message there is that for america talk is cheap but for iran economic sanctions have been costly and continued economic pressure from those sanctions on the iranian people is unlikely to set the stage or the mood for any kind of conversation somebody like me because talking is the continuation of the process of pressure he's imposing pressure this may work in the real estate market it does not work in the last experience which was not really

optimistic and does not provide an optimistic. perspective for a future agreement if we are to take a positive view of things then both the united states and iran have softened their rhetoric in recent weeks both sides have seemed to walk back from the brink of war but iran's leaders have said over and over again they will not negotiate a new nuclear deal with the white house of u.s. president donald trump they were. will not compromise on their defensive capabilities they don't want to talk about things like the ballistic missiles program so what iran's leaders will be asking themselves with regards to this latest offer from us secretary of state my campaign you know is if they're not going to talk about those things and the united states is unwilling to move on its position of a maximum pressure campaign then what is there left to discuss. catalans foreign minister has told me he has reservations about the statements on iran that were issued by the summits in mecca last week the cattery prime minister attended the

events despite the ongoing in. by several of its gulf neighbors it was the highest level contact between the 2 sides since the crisis began 2 years ago. we had reservations about many parts of the statement these elements include 1st the issue of only condemning iran and the escalation against in the absence of any moderate policy to engage in dialogue with iran or to solve the challenges which could exist in the relationship between the gulf states and iran or between the arab states and iran on another side we have the adoption of the american policy towards iran respect american policy towards iran but it is different from our policy from the caribbean and the statement also mentioned the united goal whereas the united gulf when we have 3 gulf states blockading another gulf state whereas the united go through are we deceiving our people with such a statement.
