for they need to have a line chorus one of my a street in jerusalem by a what is the situation like that at the moment where you are. recently seen several flare up happened between the protesters as a mosque escaped and the israeli police who have a set up their presence in the area but generally see things seem to be very tightly held under control the police are dispersing crowds of people through the streets and when when i last saw the area around damascus gates had a pretty much been secured and there were not nearly as many people there as many protesters there chanting but so things are things are tense things are you know no one is really in a good mood today and everything sort of waiting to see if things are going to get worse in this area now we do know that in areas like the west bank and bethlehem for example to have an actual clashes people gravely injured but here in jerusalem

things seem to be sort of the least of the issues right now and why what the lie is a hunt is dishonest and in anger what it is at the core of the outrage tony is it's important to understand the the history of both the city of jerusalem and she's negotiations that have been ongoing for decades between the israelis and the palestinians and to islam is really at the heart of all of that this is a very historic city with a lot of cultural religious significance for all of the groups who live here and everyone wants to make it their capital essentially so what we what we know is that her currently as far as you know publicly there are no peace process negotiations that are on going right now and trump coming in and declaring that jerusalem the entirety of jerusalem is israel's capital really throws a wrench in any future negotiations that might still happen in the past the u.s. us and try to take the initiative in the peace process is that not over with the
2:04 pm
palestinians no longer welcome u.s. efforts to mediate. what this move that trump made this week. exposes or rather you say it confirms what a lot of palestinian and arab leaders people have often suspected which is that the u.s. is not a impartial partner in these negotiations they have always had in mind that the u.s. is always on israel's side of these negotiations and this move confirms. it we've already seen since statements saying that the u.s. cannot be impartial to go she later here in any sort of future negotiations another will not accept u.s. leadership in any peace negotiations my street in jerusalem thank you very much for that update. that mean having you up to date with some of the stories making news around the wind french president has been announced the winner of the two thousand

united kingdom and the european union of twenty six. that. may and june to say there's been progress on a major stumbling block how to manage the future border between the u.k.'s northern ireland and the ease republic of ireland has been a particularly tricky subjects many fear a hard border separating the two with border guards could plunge the north back into turmoil by undermining the belfast agreement it ended decades of sectarian violence in the region. in northern ireland we will guarantee there will be no hard fought and we will uphold the belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to preserve the constitutional and economic integrity of the united kingdom. but e.u. chief brecht's negotiator michel barnier says sorting out the store on the issue will need special talks to citizens. in northern ireland's democratic unionist party has stood in the way of an agreement so far their support is vital to may's

minority government and even now they're not satisfied with what's been agreed so far. but the talks can still proceed from here that's the e.u. leaders sign off on the deal at a council summit next week. joining me now is quentin peel he's at up on a mentor studious quentin is in alice with the ukip think tank chatham house welcome quentin is this a right to call this agreement that they've come up with in brussels as a breakthrough. it is a breakthrough but still quite a modest one because the really heavy lifting or lies ahead what is going to be the long term relationship between the united kingdom and europe but nonetheless the three questions which they had to settle in advance were all very difficult ones there's one the financial question how much to the british contribute for outstanding obligations second the rights of the citizens and british citizens in
2:09 pm
the e.u. and thirdly this absolutely nightmarish question of trying to maintain no border between northern ireland to the republic when the two sides would be actually one inside the e.u. and the other outside so very difficult issues and it is a success without a doubt so was the name of this deal today in describing it as a base a breakthrough basically aimed at keeping the talks going and leaving the difficult stuff for latest specially on the island border issue that you mentioned yes i mean the whole deal they've done on the irish border is assuming that it's it will only go to the deal they've done today if they come true reach the big deal on trade and the truth is it's all unknown looked like the achilles heel of the entire brics it exercise the one european member states that is most directly affected by bracks it
2:10 pm
is a island it's affected on trade it's affected on the movement of people which is always been free but above all the peace process in northern ireland is in danger if there is a very abrupt division between the two countries. if it was made in brothels still can strengthen prime minister there is a maze position do you think the deal that she's achieved now what silence the critics at home. no absolutely not i'm afraid she's in a dreadful position she's trying to rule a party which has been deeply divided on the issue of europe really for the last twenty or thirty years that's the reason we had the referendum because the conservative party was divided and the truth is it's still divided one faction wants to keep britain as close as possible to europe to the european union and the other faction wants to have an abrupt break and they talk about global britain we're going to have a relationship with everybody else and she's still not managed to reconcile these
2:11 pm
two which is why the talks ahead it still looks very difficult the british government itself has not decided what it's skiing for to the enormous frustration of the twenty seven other european member states who say tell us what you want and then we can perhaps negotiate now based on the deal agreed on today do you think actually that that it will be now a soft beggs it that terrorism has had to make concessions that means that the hot core big city is no longer in control. it's very difficult to tell the truth is that she has made concession after concession she's made a big concession on the money question it looks like that britain will pay something like fifty billion euros instead of the twenty billion she first suggested she's made concessions on respecting the judgments of the european court of justice as far as citizens' rights are concerned and she's no made concessions
