12:24 pm
some reports the deal of the century in which involved king abdullah rescinding that guardianship and jordan absorbing the west bank palestinians giving israel new total control of palestine and that says the king is unacceptable. but this i think. if you look. at the idea that there is no. i don't know your inputs what. the twitter plans back is threatening to withhold critical financial aid and last king abdullah falls into line and with many of his subjects already in economic distress after years of the stereotype it's a dynamic with no easy answers. we're in jordan to try and
12:25 pm
understand the political pressures the monarchy is now under and where they might lead. we also want to know how the scheme could affect jordan's delicate demographic balance between the members of its indigenous tribes known as the spankers and palestinians who fled here in the past 6 decades and became citizens. our 1st stop is at the home of tarik tell a professor of modern jordanian. history is becoming less relevant but it's still very important to united states as a source of intelligence and security ready support which which the americans have relied on heavily for getting on for 60 years now let's assume that the deed of the century does occur the danger for jordan would come if say the trumpet ministration use jordan's fiscal be planned and it's on american aid on gulf aid to

12:28 pm
a worry that the deal would fall. the river their influence in the country jordan has seen a huge influx of syrian refugees in recent is adding to millions of palestinians already here and the prospect of more west bank palestinians coming threatens to further upset the demographic scales. that is a. very. good. one. because the authorities are being forced to respond to the darkening public nuge while we were filming news came through that the cabinet had resigned it was the 3rd government reshuffle in less than a year and the protesters were on impressed. w. the nigel will be him. we did me i was there all the money.
12:29 pm
enough for. me but will it but it didn't. it's a sign of how sensitive all these matters are becoming that georgians intelligence services pay very close attention to who is saying halt at least protest rallies. and i think one of the more intimidating tactics is to surround the most vocal demonstrators and any journalists who may be listening and openly film them. the state is clearly uneasy about the many disparate forces now being raised in opposition. jordanians have traditionally been supportive of the monarchy and the stability it brings but for some that support is proving to be conditional back. us past.
