in" ‘ur smiling ivanka trump on one one of a smiling ivanka trump on one side, and the flip side of that coin, the to open that embassy.” think this juxtaposition has coin, the to open that embassy.” think thisjuxtaposition has it —— says it all, really. on the one hand we have a banker and jarrod trump opening is in the provocative mood. jerusalem is seen by being settled community, eastjerusalem is seen as occupied territory. jerusalem is seen as the shared capital for both israelis and palestinians, which is why no other country puts it embassy that. it is a very provocative move and comes on the eve of the 70th anniversary of commemorations that mark both israel's independent as a state, but also he palestinian catastrophe, the dispossession of so many palestinians in the war that

created the israeli state. so, throwing that into this mix is a deliberate provocation, and of course we see the result, which is deadly. it is 55 palestinians are unarmed protesters, in gaza killed. at least 12 hundred, the gardeners reporting, being wounded. this is all from israeli fire. these are, to repeat, unarmed demonstrators. right, the suggestion from the israeli side, laura, is that these palestinians are being backed by her mass “— mass —— hamas, they were storming the fence. in terms of the embassy,

this was a law that was passed by congress over 20 to go. presentjob is the first president jackie put it in action and move rightly the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. but if you just look at this story, even according to the guardian, which many would believe would not be entirely neutral on its reporting, they themselves say they actually worked backers, hair. hamas has encouraged and defended these protesters, and the protesters were in theirtens of protesters, and the protesters were in their tens of thousands. this is not a peaceful march, say, through a city. these are tens of thousands of hamas encouraged and funded protesters, some of whom were violent. again, within the guardian reported self, it says that the sky was blackened with smoke, as protesters lit fires, and intermittent sniper fire was hard. clouds reckon —— crowds rushing

towards the fence. israel, as an independent nation is entitled to self defence, and if you don't believe that israel has a right to act in self defence, when it is being rushed by tens of thousands of hamas funded and encourage violent protesters, then, you know, it raises the issue of what the not to think israel should be an independent state. we need to respond that, because basically laura isjoining innocent victims of their own death. i am blaming hamas. they have deliberately put 14—year—old boys in the firing line, keeping their own terrorists back, knowing that they will be shot dead. in defence, and then it will the all over european media. saying that

they are a terrorist state. hang on a second. there is no point you talking over each other. laura, hang ona talking over each other. laura, hang on a second, because you have been speaking a while. it continue the front page you're making, rachel. we have got cloud and spoke and tear gas behind her. laura's pointing to hamas being involved in this. is that clear? is it clear that hamas are actually behind this? and give it some context. gaza has been under siege for ten years. there are 1.8 million palestinians living in gaza, it is controlled by israel. israel controls what goes on and what goes out. there is a shortage of medical supplies, there is a shortage of food, there is a shortage of building material, and constant electric shortages. this is after

two wars with israel. in the last decade. so we are looking at people who have an absolute right to protest, a military blockade imposed upon them by israel. they are protesting it peacefully, at what i find extraordinary about your narrative, laura, is what is it that you want palestinians do? you say that they should not be violent, but then they have is absolutely non—violent protest, which by the way, it is a popular lead protest. that is how it started. it started in gaza said, look, it is 110w started in gaza said, look, it is now unequivocally clear that there is no two state solution, there is no negotiations for us. and they decided to protest peacefully. many different groups decided to do that. seeded want them to protest

peacefully, what you want them to do? it is not a peaceful protest. even going on the guardian report, it is hamas have encouraged and funded it. they talk about defence, as well. that's because caused the people to push through as the israeli jones dropped tear gas. they either courage and young innocent boys to push through and break the border. israelis are entitled to act. but not to use an aunt but not to use an armed —— alan... act. but not to use an aunt but not to use an armed -- alan... should not act disproportionately. of course i agree with that. this is tens of thousands of protesters. 55 have been killed, but it is wrong to say it is completely peaceful. 0k. the facts are disputed across all

the papers. that is one thing that i think we can agree on. whether they we re think we can agree on. whether they were armed or whether hamas was behind it all, i think we all warn agrees that the peace protesters in agrees that the peace protesters in a dire state after the events of today. we are going to go on to the telegraph, rachel, back to the drawing poured on customs and brexit. not a lot of time before a deal has got to be reached. on what sort of relationship britain will have after the eu? may in 14 years will be talking about the intractable conflict that is britain trying to exit the eu. it is weird, because theresa may had a meeting with the backbenchers of downing street, and she said to them actually the reason this installed is because the eu tie eu is aurally rejected these two proposals, and

i'm it is now trying to get the cabinet to hassett out. it makes you wonder why she even bothered going through this whole torture process of splitting off the committees into two constituent parts and having breakaway groups, and everybody trying to work out ways of their messing options that hear any case had been rejected. so, it is a pretty desperate state of affairs. laura, what does she do now? well, she is going to come under pressure from jacob rees—mogg and others within that group. now to exit no deal. is that in to get through parliament? then she has a problem with parliament. as rachel said, you have got this ridiculous spectacle of the last two max week saying —— two week saying, video is not on the table from the european union, but on the other hand, —— the deal is

not on the table. but on the other hand, it is time that show firmness and tenacity and to see the brexit processor what it really has become. i think it is time for may to get tough now. there are clearly risks associated with no deal. most people will want a deal, but it is... but not a deal at all costs. not a deal at all costs, if the european union is going to humiliate britain and destroy its trading relations to other countries, and make it into a real taken other countries, and make it into a real ta ken without having other countries, and make it into a real taken without having any influence over the rules, then a no deal scenario is looking more likely, which may well call the constitutional crisis down the line. it could have a huge knock on effect. it is hard to see tie say what parliament is thinking, but it is not one that is likely to go through a no deal if it possibly can. right, the sun and the metro.

megan at —— meghan and her dad, potentially saying he will not go to the wedding. why is this, laura? well, it seems unfortunately, for meghan markle, and it is terrible for her on a personal level. her father has become involved in some paparazzi deal in terms of staging photographs, for the paparazzi and perhaps receiving payment for it, thatis perhaps receiving payment for it, that is not clear. there are also health issues. he had a heart attack a week ago. a combination of that. it seems certain that he will now not give his daughter, meghan markle away at her wedding on saturday. that is the last thing any bride would want. very, very sad for her, and for him as well? yes, it is sad for everyone. but the wedding will still be great! fingers crossed. all
