7:01 pm
who have done some very, very evil earlier, theresa may said she would not yet bring her things. some bad things, iwould twice—rejected brexit plan back who have done some very, very evil things. some bad things, i would say treasonous things against our country. also on the programme..... before the commons because it with the stroke of a pen and prime minister still didn‘t have enough support. netanyahu looking over — president trump overturns decades of us policy and recognizes israeli with me now is sam coates, deputy political editor at the times sovereignty over the golan heights. plus, are we going to and maddie thimont jack, dusseldorf or edinburgh? brexit researcher from the flight that mistakenly landed the institute for government. 500 miles away from its destination thanks to a paperwork error. nice to see you both. sam, why did the government not take charge of the government not take charge of the indicative outs themselves spray was a sense there was going to do hello and welcome — that spray guns at in the last few i'm christian fraser in westminster, jane o'brien is in washington. minutes, they may warrant this theresa may is still in control — for now — but this evening british debate, they may not. there are mps will vote to take control differences about the way you could of the parliamentary process. run it, differences about the type a cross—party proposal sponsored ofamendment run it, differences about the type of amendment you could have. but by conservative oliver letwin, just pause for a second, what are will set out the path for indicative votes on wednesday, you talking about? were talking on the range of brexit options. about mps throwing out the thing theresa may has been working on for this afternoon mrs may said 2.5 years and do it completely she was ‘sceptical‘ the votes would provide any conclusive differently. how could the
7:02 pm
outcome, and seemed to suggest that government to really take charge of that? not least because the in any case, she could not support a way forward that would go government is incredibly nervous against the manifesto about being bound by what parliament she had stood on. decides in this process when it parliament has just three weeks to find an answer. mrs may has ruled out votes, probably on wednesday. end of a third meaningful vote on her deal tomorrow. the government owns the process by it could come later in the week. setting it up, it will feel more but arlene foster, leader of the democratic unionist party, bound to deliver the process. told the prime minister this theresa may doesn't want to be in afternoon there had been no shift in her party's opposition. this situation where the commons had just voted to be in the customs and without them, the eurosceptics union, stay in the single market, in the prime ministers party are unlikely to budge. when she doesn't want to deliver that policy. it's a big problem, a mrs may did appear to step away constitutional crisis and a political crisis, sol constitutional crisis and a from ‘no deal‘ this afternoon — political crisis, so i think this is what political failure looks like at it's now her brexit, this time. it's interesting, in no brexit or slooooww brexit. terms of the process, because we the default outcome continues to be to leave with no deal but this house hear from the terms of the process, because we hearfrom the prime minister has previously expressed its terms of the process, because we hear from the prime minister today that she wouldn‘t legislate opposition to that path and may very something she hadn‘t been elected to well do so again this week. the alternative is to pursue a different legislate for in her mandate. what form of brexit or she‘s saying is, you may have an a second referendum. indicative vote and choose a way mr speaker, the government approach to brexit, has forward , indicative vote and choose a way forward, but then what? that's the now become a national embarrassment. problem and probably the frustration
7:03 pm
after two years of ofa problem and probably the frustration of a lot of mps tonight, because failure, broken promises evenif of a lot of mps tonight, because even if some of them vote in favour after broken promises the of the single market or customs prime minister finally accepted the inevitable union, the government won't last week and voted necessarily go back to brussels i to extend article 50. negotiate that. the thing i would add is that we don't know what the the european union and the republic options may be, if they have of ireland are "intensifying" discussions about the irish border, indicative votes on wednesday. we are also looking at that, whatever in the event of a ‘no—deal‘ mps might want to do, it has to be brexit. the commission said today it negotiable whether brussels. at the believes a ‘no—deal‘ outcome is now moment, we're having some looking increasingly likely. and it is ready. negotiations here in westminster, but is the uk? we could be just three weeks away but we're really negotiating with from a no—deal brexit. i asked the foreign office brussels and they are waiting for theresa may to come back and say minister sir alan duncan how well—prepared the uk is. what she wants to do. this medline yes, i would say we are at the end of this week and then we as well as we can be. have a short extension to april to i mean this is a massive moment with lots of unpredictable elements 12, but what happens next? to get but we have put massive resources into this. i mean, a high percentage the impression last week that brussels would be happy to reopen of the civil service have been diverted to preparing, looking at contingencies, the political direction for a softer assessing what might happen, brexit. there has been suggestions where the problems might be today that theresa may is perhaps
7:04 pm
looking at separating the withdrawal and trying to anticipate that so we are prepared but i think agreement from the problematic we have made a lot of progress political declaration. because whatever they choose here over the in our planning to make sure that aviation can continue and there can choice of the week, they still have be as much efficient to pass the withdrawal agreement? movement as possible. obviously there are concerns that this is something labour claims it theresa may said, downing street said she didn't. it seems a even the slightest delay, straightforward way to do it? would be voting for a blind brexit which at say calais or dover, would then back—up and have a knock—on effect people environment wouldn't want to because with modern, see. we will be trusting a future just in time efficient logistics, you have one little hitch that relationship... but in a way, with becomes knock—on hitch which becomes a knock on knock—on hitch. three weeks ago, we kind are anyway? so, we are doing our best to ensure the smoothest possible logistical i think there would be a lot of movement that we can. opposition to that. yesterday and because this is 90% of your work, are you frustrated that you don't have a clear idea morning, theresa may was going to be facing a coup, but this morning, it from a prime minister didn't happen. last night she seem to be negotiating her future with brexiteers, but didn't set out a whether it is no deal or a different way, timetable today. she has decided she have you had any indication at all? doesn't have the support to go for a it is not the lack of meaningful vote today. she was the prime minister's trashed by the dup at the lunch time, one of the reason she didn't plan that frustrates me, it is the failure of my wa nt time, one of the reason she didn't want to go ahead with the vote. this
7:05 pm
parliamentary colleagues to have voted through her deal. because if they had we would be process changes hour by hour, i there by now, we would have done it, it would have been alreadyjob done. asked a cabinet minister this it isn't, so there is continuing afternoon, what is it i'm not uncertainty that has been created, spotting? they said, we don't know! sadly, by parliamentary colleagues on my own side of the house we can't see an answer. that bluntly of commons, in my own party, and i wish they would alljust back is where we are. you can come up the prime minister because this is leading to, i think, a lot with any manner of suggestions, but of loss of international reputation. with any manner of suggestions, but with the executive at one place in it is causing massive uncertainty the legislature in the other, no and it is going to come at a price sign ofa the legislature in the other, no sign of a solution and a prime so if we are going to honour minister chopping and changing hour by hour, it's hard for anyone to see the referendum and leave, it makes sense to do a way through. if they don't know what they‘re doing tonight with the votes, they surely don‘t know about so in a orderly fashion. wednesday? wednesday is no guarantee there will be any closer to and not will all this doubt understanding what mps want. i don't and chaos and political disruption. so get in there, back think there's barely any announcement on that, and if you're the deal, get on with it. you tweeted today, we cannot afford the indulgence of party leadership trying to find out what the majority is on the house of commons, it would battles when our duty and priority is to conclude the brexit process. but there is no collective make sense not to whip. they did responsibility in cabinet. she doesn't control the parliament, she doesn't control government. doesn't something just had to give? this with the reform of the house of lords? yes, that they had indicative it is not her because...
7:06 pm
well, it is. no, it isn't. votes and didn't find a majority. in it comes from the political that case, it wasn't important, because it wasn't a ticking clock.|j circumstances in which we find think the thing i'm watching for on ourselves and the first half of that wednesday, there is one plan that is tweet, was it would be utter a slightly higher chance of passing folly to ask her to stand and that is to stay inside the aside at this time. single market and have some kind of you know, anyone who were to take customs arrangements. this is the kind of thing you have heard from over would face exactly the same problems and the very process of taking over would be various mps earlier and i have been discussions withjeremy divisive and destructive, and doubly so just at this crucial various mps earlier and i have been discussions with jeremy corbyn's office. new could be encouragement time when we are trying to bring for labour mps this to a conclusion. office. new could be encouragement for labourmps and office. new could be encouragement for labour mps and if you can serve so, i mean, added political just votes for dance. that may pass, uncertainty at this very difficult time and just blaming the prime minister for something thatis that has been inflicted just votes for dance. that may pass, that is the test for wednesday, in on her by others and circumstances, my opinion. whether that happens the way we expect is really the big in my view, is both question and whether or not the wrong and unfair. government is prepared to influence i am very grateful the votes. but there is no clear way for your time, thank you. so let's forward at the moment for any plan have a look at what exactly is being voted on tonight. and we're stuck. aren't we just! three amendments to the governments motion. one from labour which calls thank you very much indeed. it isn‘t for the government to provide a majority for any of these sufficient parliamentary time indicative votes, doesn‘t that
7:07 pm
for indicative votes this week. improve the chances for theresa there's a similar cross party amendement, may‘s deal? at the co—signed by conservative mp's over the weekend, anti—brexit oliver letwin and dominic greive, campaigners marched through london and the labour mp hillary benn, in one of the biggest protests ever which would take the parliamentary to have been held in britain. organisers say more than one million business away from the government on wednesday, to allow mp's to hold people joined the demonstration, which called on the government those indicative votes to hold a second referendum. politicians, including labour‘s deputy leader tom watson, on all the brexit options. scottish first minister nicola sturgeon, and there is a third amendment, and conservative sir michael chosen by the speaker, heseltine addressed the crowds. from labour mp margaret beckett but earlier today, international which says that if the uk is 7 days from leaving the eu without a deal, trade secretary liam fox the government must provide rejected their calls time for a vote on no deal, or an extension. for a second vote. what is very clear from polls of course — the key is that voters overall amendment to be watching out don't want another referendum. for is oliver letwin‘s amendment — which would create time their view is that for so—called ‘indicative votes‘ — they had a referendum. but what would that i have many friends who voted remain mean in practice? but think we ought to leave, a series of brexit options because that was the expressed, that mps will vote on, democratic will of the people. to see whether any of them and if you turn around and say people sometimes commands a majority. change their minds, that's an argument for having i‘m joined from the houses an election every mid—term. of parliament now by the labour mp lucy powell. with me now is lara spirit, co—president of the our future, our choice campaign,
7:08 pm
who addressed the crowd at saturday‘s march. good to have you with us. i saw you cani can i ask a question about indicative votes tonight? on wednesday, rather. if they were to speaking at the debate earlier, maybe you could help us out. how would these indicative votes work, vote for a second referendum on because as i understand it the order wednesday, would that kill it once in which they come could be significant. the idea is the ordering doesn't matter because the and for all? the way you have to proposal is about votes, is that look at it is i don't see people's groups of mps could put forward amendments or emotions in the usual vote as another brexit option, it's way so i would be putting forward solution. you have not had to guess one on way so i would be putting forward talking about this crazy impasse, one on the comment market 2.0 pulls the lack of decision and a route up one on the comment market 2.0 pulls up we have been working on on a forward , the lack of decision and a route forward, in that situation, i don't see people's vote as a brexit cross—party basis. then all of the option, it is a route out of deadlock and why you see more and votes would happen at the same time people coming to the conclusion it oi'i votes would happen at the same time on each piece of paper, it is what is the best way forward. externally we do when we have divergent scenes in london at the weekend, and divisions. we answer yes or no to each option so it does not matter. you can vote yes on as many as you it is alongside this petition at the moment, 5.5 million signatures at wa nt you can vote yes on as many as you want or no. if there are three or the moment to revoke article 50. are you on a separate track to them or
7:09 pm
four options were one or two you are do you work together? to use it as a happy to live with, you vote yes for confirmatory thing, that petition? both of those and we see when we as it is complimentary, because last come out which one has got, or maybe week was another level. i see the more than one, commands a majority comes up more than one, commands a majority comes up with the most support. 0k, march and the petition to express the level of frustration that many people have at our representatives. what was fantastic about saturday as so we saw people from all over the comes up with the most support. 0k, so like a secret ballot. it is not secret because it is published. we country, all backgrounds, all do it every wednesday so mps are used to doing it. which of these parties, in stark contrast of the options you are voting on on scenes on sunday at chequers, which wednesday can‘t you have with trees that may‘s deal? —— theresa may‘s was a all whites, elite cast of mostly men talking about my future. deal? our proposal which is comment it was very uplifting to see a million people march on parliament market 2.0 is that we assert our this weekend and i hope the mp5 listen. you say it is people from membership of the european economic area we are already in service day all round the country, but if you in the single market but leave the look at the heat map for the people eu and come to a customs signing this petition, it is very arrangement. the point i'm making is much metropolitan england that is you could have that with may‘s deal signing up for it and areas in the now, so why not pass the withdrawal north, north west, north east that
7:10 pm
agreement and move on? what we are voted for brexit, not as many kissing on a proposal on wednesday signatures. it looks on the surface as arabs would be subject to passing like a carbon copy of the reference the withdrawal agreement but it is in? i'm not involved in the about a legally binding —— back our petition, but in terms of the march, it generally involves people from all over the country. brexit will proposal would be subject to passing hit areas like the north east hard the withdrawal agreement and we want to let anyone else. the idea that a to make it a legally binding and remain group or a pro people's vote change the declaration of travel in the future relationship. i do not have an issue with her withdrawal group is metropolitan elites, is certainly not true. do you see a agreement but i do have an issue with the future relationship, the referendum, if it goes that way, direction of travel he she has said alistair campbell always says it is the last option standing that you have to get rid of them one by one, which is given due the rise of the is that the strategy? that is one way to get there, in the indicative votes that we will see will shed irish backstop in our future trading some light on its actually what it relationship. if we could radically is mps think. it is my view that as change the direction of travel and soon as give mps the insurance for that is mps think. it is my view that as soon as brexit comes reality and we debate the trade—offs in different negotiating mandate, we would pass brexit are and what it means and the the withdrawal agreement. thank you costs, in that situation, no former very much indeed forjoining us. brexit will be palatable to mp5 so president trump always said thatis
7:11 pm
there was no collusion — brexit will be palatable to mp5 so that is why i think the only option and after two years of a sprawling left is a people's vote.|j investigation into russian election meddling, the special counsel robert mueller has concluded, that is why i think the only option there was indeed, no collusion. left is a people's vote. i will ask what the questions are in the paper, but we don‘t have time! what the questions are in the paper, but we don't have time!|j what the questions are in the paper, but we don't have time! i couldn't answer that anyway! however, mr mueller appears to have left open the question it was a star—studded of whether the president tried event in cupertino, california today as apple unveiled it highly anticipated streaming to obstruct the inquiry — service called apple tv plus. it features original and that‘s got democrats clamoring shows and movies that for the report to be made public. could compete with the likes of netflix and amazon. democratic members of congress want to hearfrom mr mueller and but the news didn‘t stop there. the attorney general william barr about how they reached they also unveiled a new credit card their conclusions. known as the apple card — but republicans say the country which users can sign up should move on, and today president trump reiterated for using their iphones. the bbc‘s technology he was glad it was over. correspondent dave lee was at the event and joins us now. there are a lot of people out there that have done some very, very evil things. very bad things, i would say treasonous things against our country. is this the beginning of apple very few people i know taking over the world ?|j could have handled it. we can never, ever let this happen is this the beginning of apple taking over the world? i think that's one way of putting it! this to another president again. is certainly apple saying we have over a billion eye phones out there but the democratic chair of the house judiciary committee chairjerry nadler has and other devices as well, and said his committee will call saying to make nor money, we can on the attorney general to testify. help people do things through those iphones in the way they want before. we will ask the attorney general
7:12 pm
to testify before the house you mention the credit card, that judiciary committee. could be a massive opportunity for we will demand the release apple to bring people on board us of of the full report. the american people are entitled the streaming tv service, that is in to a full accounting of the president's misconduct two halves, original content from referenced by the special counsel. apple that we saw at the event, so we cannot simply rely on what may be a hasty partisan the likes of oprah, jj abrams, interpretation of the facts. steven spielberg, all making original content. but also through a short time ago i spoke to former the same service, you will access assistant us attorney, kim wehle, on the legal process. existing content from other people like hbo, showtime and others. so apple setting itself to make more thank you forjoining me, why did mr money through services, things you do on the device rather than sales of the device itself, but i think mueller leave it to the attorney general to decide this issue of your question is right, it's a obstruction? we do not know, usually question of how much of our lives a prosecutor will do thumbs up or does apple want to have control over thumbs down on the question of and make money from? thank you, whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute on a potential crime. it looks like it is possible the dave. constitutional implications of this question in respect to the president left mr muellerfor question in respect to the president fench president emmanuel macron has welcomed his chinese left mr mueller for next. does it
7:13 pm
counterpart xijinping mean that a crime could have been to the elysee palace in paris. committed but they do not have the visit comes as part of a state visit enough evidence? it means there is expected to deepen economic ties between the two nations — evidence bearing on obstruction of with the countries expected to sign a series of energy agreements justice for sure, it will be in the including cooperation in nuclear report and a lot of it is public. power and aerospace. scott walker, one of the most influential the decision has to do with whether pop stars of the 1960s, that evidence was strong enough and admissible ina has died at the age of 76. that evidence was strong enough and admissible in a court of law, sufficient to actually prosecute the crime. it is a different question the us star found fame as a teen idol in the walker brothers, than whether something bad happened scoring hits with the sun ain‘t gonna shine anymore oi’ than whether something bad happened or somebody did something wrong. putting someone injail and make it easy on yourself. or somebody did something wrong. putting someone in jail means taking walker‘s death was confirmed the liberty away so the law by his current record label 4ad, establishes a very high bar in terms who said he will be remembered as one of the most revered of proof. that is really where i innovators at the sharp end of creative music. this is beyond 100 days. think mr mueller decided he could still to come: a charity connected to the billionaire sackler family suspends new donations amid controversy over their alleged links to the us opioid crisis. not decide and it might have been too political for him and beyond the scope of what a prosecutor can do. we are speculating now, we do not know. is that the sort of question he would be able to answer or explain if house democrats get into
7:14 pm
the house to testify? that is a question he would be able to answer dead rats stuffed with drugs and mobile phones have and explain, i do not know if he been found at a prison in dorset. would be told by lawyers or the the prison service says justice department there is some its the first time rats have been reason he would have to not answered used in this way to smuggle goods into prison. that question. it certainly would the bbc‘s duncan kennedy has more on this story. not be executive privilege if it we re not be executive privilege if it were to convey any sort of grand it‘s the kind of security designed jury were to convey any sort of grand jury material, that would be a to keep people in and goods out. problem but in general, there is a informal agreement that but here at guys marsh prison in dorset, that security has now been breached by this prosecutorial decisions do not get — dead rats. scrutiny any legislative branch. can three of them, stuffed the attorney general released the with everything from document in its entirety? no. i drugs to mobile phones. think there is little question there the items were sewn inside the body of the rats. will be material there that is prison officers found spice, covered in confidential under a rule cannabis, five mobile called 60 of the federals of phones with their chargers, criminal procedure. that is and three sim cards. it‘s thought the rats were probably something that can be lifted or thrown over this perimeter fence, which measures about 20 feet high. modified but i would suspect he will the prison service says it‘s the first recorded case of rats be very rigid on that question and being used in this way.
7:15 pm
if there is any ambiguity it will be guys marsh is a category—three jail, resolved by court, not by the home to about 400 inmates. justice department. will the white has had any input on that? we do not prison officers say the use of rats‘ know that either. he answers to carcasses as container for smuggling is one more challenge for staff. trump, traditionally know and let‘s well, illicit items are always getting thrown over the walls hope the answer is no. he is a at the majority of our prisons. usually, it‘s in dead pigeons, institutionalised and you will make that call himself. thank you. tennis balls, golf balls, socks, filled with illicit items. and for more on the political fallout we can now speak to former it is a regular occurrence. advisor to george w bush, ron christie, who‘s it‘s the first time i‘ve known in san francisco. for it to be secreted in a dead rat, but i‘ve known dead pigeons before. how much of a political problem is these are examples from otherjails this open question of obstruction of of objects being thrown over fences. justice for the president? good drones have also been used afternoon, i do not believe this is to airlift goods into prisons, afternoon, i do not believe this is places where contraband is currency. a problem in any manner, way shape or form. a problem in any manner, way shape orform. in a problem in any manner, way shape or form. in order to obstruct and despite the kinds justice you have to have corrupt of patrols we filmed today in guys marsh prison, intent. the president of the united the use of rats‘ bodies shows states, many democrats are saying, the lengths inmates and outside contacts will go to keep obstructed justice when he fired the this trade flowing. fbi director. but you cannot
7:16 pm
obstructjustice if you fbi director. but you cannot obstruct justice if you are acting within the legal parameter as a president to fire a subordinate officer so i do not believe from a the fighters of the so—called islamic state did everything political standpoint the white house they could to defend their last has much to worry about. democrats scrap of territory in eastern syria, are using it as a way to say that but their diminished parts of the report, if not all, resources were not enough. on saturday, the coalition—backed should be made public and they have syrian democratic forces finally declared victory over the militants in the remote village of baghouz. questions to ask the attorney so what threat does general. undoubtably but the democrats run the risk of looking the group pose now and what happens to all those fighters who are being held? pakistan and looking like they are ealier, i spoke to major trying to take the president down —— general christopher ghika, he is the deputy commander of the combined joint task force — operation inherent resolve — and part of the global coalition against daesh. partisan. they know it cannot be what does so—called islamic state released fully because there are look like today in terms certain areas that cannot be exposed of its followers, its leadership, without breaching intelligence issues. if they want to search for its command and control? the first thing i think the truth i am with them but if they to understand is that, wa nt the truth i am with them but if they want to have a witchhunt i think despite the events of saturday, they are misguided. can we swap and they still pose a significant threat, not only to iraq and syria but also the region i come to san francisco and you and the wider world.
7:17 pm
stand on the green. not a chance. i think they are now going to try and morph themselves you can have my groundhog day here into an underground organisation. on the westminster green. the thing they're going to try and infiltrate communities, ido on the westminster green. the thing i do not understand is i thought the they're going to try and create instability, special counsel was chosen to look and create the chaos into all of this because he is not a in which they can thrive. there were thousands political appointee, he is supposed of people who have come out of baghouz in recent weeks, to be objective about the whole thing yet he has punted on the many of them men of fighting age. how do you process such an enormous number? who does the interrogations, how do you separate the critical question of obstructive of less—releva nt from the most dangerous? so that has been an ongoing effort justice to it too political people. by our partner for us, the syrian democratic force. yes, we will swap places and you can one of the reasons they've taken so long to clear this last part of baghouz is because both of the nature on the ground, but also the number of noncombatants in the area. they advanced very slowly come out here and a joint san and deliberately to ensure that the fighting has caused francisco. it is very important to recognise the special counsel was as little damage as possible and has appointed to specifically look into whether or not there was collusion not endangered noncombata nts. ora whether or not there was collusion or a conspiracy with the trump campaign and the russian government. that was found to be not true. the the americans are the leaders of this international notion of whether or not mueller has coalition in northeast syria,
7:18 pm
opened upa notion of whether or not mueller has opened up a can of worms by saying he could exonerate the president, i the pentagon says they will be would say it is not the prosecutor's leaving 400 troops in place job. it is to indict and refer to criminal prosecution but it is not "for a period of time". hisjob to say criminal prosecution but it is not that doesn‘t sound like his job to say he exonerate criminal prosecution but it is not hisjob to say he exonerate him. the notion he put in this paragraph a long—term commitment. saying he did not exonerate the i think what is important to understand is that the american president gave the democrats an administration have seen opening for political mischief as it the threat from daesh, maybe there. thank you forjoining they recognise further work is required with the syrian us maybe there. thank you forjoining us and enjoy the sunshine where you democratic force in that partnership to make sure are. yeah, not jealous, that isis cannot deepen their hold us and enjoy the sunshine where you are. yeah, notjealous, not us and enjoy the sunshine where you in northeast syria, are. yeah, not jealous, not really. cannot create a safe haven from do you think the mueller report is which to threaten syria and iraq, going to rejuvenate the democrats so are commited to acting and doing much the same way as the cavanagh something about that. what do you supposes is the terror threat the world now faces, child? -- trial. it takes the heat particularly europe, from so—called islamic state? so—called islamic state, of republicans but the political issue remains that he has not daesh, proclaimed to be exonerated the president in his a global organisation, and their heartland words, of obstruction ofjustice. this remains the big question. it is in iraq and syria. may be the legal issue has been so the work we're doing cleared but the political problem here with international coalition remains and don‘t forget, there is is absolutely central to firstly combat them physically, to make sure
7:19 pm
still a number of other they cannot create themselves investigations that are hanging over as an underground network. the president so it is not over yet. but the second and equally important is to combat their poisonous ideology, because the more successful they are, the more their israel says it has begun carrying ideology gains traction. out strikes on hamas this week has been targets in the gaza strip, a major setback for them. hours after a palestinian rocket hit a house north of tel aviv. they've proven they're not a winning force, the israeli military blamed hamas, they are losing force. which controls gaza, for the launch of the rocket that they cannot hold ground, hit a home in mishmeret, one of the things they said injuring seven people. they were going to do at the start of their incarnation. the retaliation came so we must do everything we can as the israeli prime minister was here in washington to combat their ideology and to prove not only to the region with president trump who signed but to the world that this is an order recongizing an organisation that is in the past. the golan heights as israeli major general, thank territory — a move he announced you for your time, we wish on twitter last week. you the best with your operation. now benjamin netanyahu thank you, christian. is cutting his trip short and heading back to israel. joining me now is former special assistant to president barack obama and middle east negotiator, son news that france is taking back some of the offence from that part ambassador dennis ross. of the world as well. i wonder how many other european countries are thank you forjoining us. how big an going to follow suit. the sackler trust, one of the art world‘s biggest benefactors, escalation is this? in gazza i think says it will stop giving gifts because of protests and legal action
7:20 pm
over its alleged links it is not clear. it is clearly to the opioid crisis in the us. members of the sackler family own perdue pharma, which makes oxycontin. crossing a threshold, we have not the company is the subject of lawsuits claiming it misled consumers about the drugs addictiveness. seen hamas fire rockets, certainly perdue and the sacklers deny the allegations, north of tel aviv since the conflict but several major museums in the us and the uk have already said they‘ll in 2014. you hit tel aviv and decline future funding or return money they‘ve already received from the sackler trust. hitting the economic heartland and threatening to shutdown for more, we arejoined hitting the economic heartland and threatening to shut down the country. israel will not tolerate now by benjamin soskis from the urban institute. that. hamas is saying for the second thank you forjoining us. not all time we had another rocket that was knocked down. the and tight defence members of the sackler family are missile. they said it was a mistake. involved with perdue, but give us a they are saying again it is a sense how toxic the name itself has mistake. it looks like they are trying to create a new normal where they can hit in the tel aviv area become? for a long time, the sackle rs become? for a long time, the sacklers managed to hide behind purge of armour, and the name wasn't and yet not have this escalate into very toxic, there are known to be and yet not have this escalate into a major conflict. ithink one of the most generous companies and yet not have this escalate into a major conflict. i think we will have to see. the israelis are saying in the country. for a long time, a you are not going to create a new normal. we will see if it is combination of state based journals,
7:21 pm
contained, my suspicion is it will be for now but it is the one—year anniversary of when the hamas started what they called their march activism, they have generated a huge amount of scrutiny and become the ofa started what they called their march of a return where they go to the poster family for corporate avarice. gaza fence. the word return is not about going to the fence but going do you think this represents a through defence. they want to make this a very big advent on their one turning point for the arts, particular in america, which rely on year anniversary. —— event. philanthropy. how to vet a this a very big advent on their one year anniversary. -- event. what impact has this acknowledgement of corporation orfamily philanthropy. how to vet a corporation or family which may become dubious in years to come? ismailia southern rate over the that's very, very good question. so golan heights? ironically, it does you can't have a magic foresight and gaina sense nothing because israel controls the you can't have a magic foresight and gain a sense of what will happen in golan heights. it probably gives the future, but i think there's been a tendency in much of philanthropy to not actually have a calculus in irana golan heights. it probably gives iran a justification for being in syria. almost no other leader would terms of these sort of sources of the fortunes that produce say that israel should be in the philanthropy. there is so much golan heights precisely because pressure to raise huge amounts of money that there really wasn't much hezbollah are all in syria. you are scrutiny. so what's happening now is that calculus is actually becoming
7:22 pm
putting them all in a position where they have to critique what their own incorporated into the general sense position is in private. i think it of is this money worth it? so the is symbolic, not a practical move. reputational damage it can do has to golan heights was taken from syria balance the legitimate goods that philanthropy can do in promoting in 1967 during the six war but over arts, health and i think that's the years, until ten days ago, really important progress. what about the donors themselves? if they can‘t get their name on a new building, are they going to bother giving the answer money or will they israel has offered to hand it back ina israel has offered to hand it back in a peace deal. but i think some go elsewhere? we'll see. nothing will be concern now that president stopping the sackler family from trump has recognised it as ismailia. having a less public profile. does not make it difficult for that to happen in the future? —— is they've had a very public one, and what's interesting is the contradiction between their insistence of maintaining a very low really. it will make it hard for profile, in terms of the corporate engagements, and they're very high israel's government to make it look profile in terms of their like they are turning back. golan philanthropic engagements. so one heights is a strategic plateau and possible resolution would be the sackle rs possible resolution would be the sacklers maintaining a low profile and not having their names on it an important defensive position. gallery wings. i think it's an that said, i was part of several interesting moral question about the negotiations where we had very nature of tainted money itself —
7:23 pm
would that be an acceptable serious discussions where the resolution to this for those most israelis committed to us to keep in their pockets to return from the invested in the crisis? has anyone actually won in the situation? the money now isn‘t going to the arts, golan heights in return for peace and protection of their water the protesters have made their supplies because the freshwater point, but who‘s lost out? reservoir runs through the golan the protesters have made their point, but who's lost out? no-one has won now. if the sacklers stop heights and even in terms of strategic alignment, turning away from iran. there are periods in the giving money, it's hard to see that past when the israeli prime minister as an giving money, it's hard to see that was prepared to withdraw. the as an absolute victory. but it's important to stress the activists, question is if you have change this thatis question is if you have change this that is in israel, does it make it particularly nine golden, the photographer who has been leading harder? i guess the answer is yes. the charge, they don't want the sackle rs the charge, they don't want the sacklers to stop giving, they want the sacklers to give in ways that let‘s have a quick look at the other restore and help with the crisis. news. that's the next line of battle, can we get the sackler family to michael avenatti, the us attorney who shot to fame by representing actually help ameliorate some of the adult film star stormy daniels against president trump, damage they've done by going to has been charged with trying
