security council meeting is carson phenomena and carson joins us right now from washington carson what more can you tell us. why the security council meeting in new york is still on the way right now and so far everybody all of the ambassadors from different nations have condemned and criticized the u.s. move or the announcement of donald trump to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem even close allies have said the u.k. for instance which actually called for this meeting has criticized. the europeans have pointed out sweden for instance that this is a violation of u.n. security council resolution resolutions which say that is jerusalem has been annexed by its word and that move was illegal and that the embassy of any country
6:03 pm
should not be moved to jerusalem before the final status is cleared or agreed on between the parties and so basically everybody so far has said this was a bad move this is a move which could create danger in the region which could push the region into an abcess all right what do you spend there we action in the u.s. to president trumps decision. well the reactions have been quite moderate. it's not so much the decision itself which has been criticized as far as it has been criticized but the timing really that there is a broad consensus here that eventually the u.s. embassy should be moved to jerusalem there's even a law here from ninety ninety five that calls for this move but of course so far all u.s. administrations have postponed the implementation of that law and so people say why no why do this without getting anything from the israelis in return it's
6:04 pm
a strange way of deal making to basically give this bargaining chip out of your hand before you even have presented any plan of what's what's going on the other point of criticism here is that apparently trump has done this not so much because of concerns for the region the middle east but mainly because of concerns for his own domestic agenda he wanted to please his own base in particular the conservative pro israel lobby and its allies among christian conservatives christian of and eventually this and that is what has been criticized here this was a domestic move mainly this is what people say and not so much anything that could bring peace in the region in the middle east any further and that person has a trumpet ministration announced a time frame when they want to move the embassy are when they want to maybe make public the peace plan that they have in mind. well the piece. is supposed to be unveiled early next year no concrete date has been given so far
6:05 pm
we'll see how that works out with the situation in the middle east right now as far as the move of the embassy is concerned the trumpet ministration has said this will take at least two years but many people here say well it's probably more like three or four or maybe even five because the ministration wants to build a new building a very new embassy in the region so this will take a few years and that means this move might take place when donald trump's current term in office has already run out right reporting from washington carson phenomena thank you. lemon stations have been held around the world as anger intensifies over donald trump's decision to recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital earlier and bethlehem police fire tear gas at people who gathered after friday prayers to protest the u.s. decision israel's government has stepped up security in the country after palestinian groups called for

a day of rage. let's find out what the situation is on the ground to be a correspondent on the cramer is in jerusalem and that is a political analyst and bethlehem he'll be joining us on the phone i want to start off with you tanya how is the day unfolded in jerusalem. well we saw off to fight the prius and this is when most people were looking at what would happen after the services of the ox some awesome people come back from prayers and watch me so here i'm standing here at a mass to skate which is one of the major and senses to the old city here in occupied east jerusalem people came out and they went together they set their front of the gate somewhere chanting and then there were a lot of course police and border police presence u.s. special forces and then it began like shoving and pushing back and forth trying to
6:07 pm
disperse the crowd so that went on for the whole afternoon basically we also saw some people getting arrested there were also some injured people. and then you know now in the evening now at this time it is much much calmer although the presence of the police here is still very high but it has been less tense maybe then it was expected but still we saw a lot of shoving and pushing today here and people you know trying to protest that decision and said he want to go to you to join us on the phone right now set the scene for us what set the day been like in bethlehem. for him just like congress saying in truth it was just after friday prayers. a bit of war protests many north koreans. growth to the group from the numbers were much less than expected and it lasted for forty five minutes an hour and that has died down and quieted down so these the reaction in beslan but also across the country has
6:08 pm
a much truer that what was expected the last two days when the gov't protocol very afraid. time what if anything has the israeli leadership had to say about the day's developments. well we haven't heard any specific reaction to that and i wouldn't also expect to pacific specific reaction i think. you know it was expected i mean this was announced and everybody has made clear there's going to be protests it's going to be demonstration no security was beefed up obviously and that is what happened here and. i think all eyes from the israeli perspective stand now on what is happening actually in new york at the u.n. security council i think this is where these very government smoking there right now are tanya kramer in jerusalem and friday katon political analyst and bethlehem

6:11 pm
ireland it means they can now move on to negotiations about future trade relations . are more about this important development with quinten appeal is that our parliamentary sitio season analysts with u.k. think tank chatham house a very good day sir is this a break sir. it's certainly a good thing it's the first serious sign of progress we've seen for about six months they had to get agreement on these three big issues in order to clear the way to the really serious round of talks ahead on what the future trade relations and totality of the u.k. e.u. relationship would look like and they don't very bug done on these issues that none of them easy so the fact that they've gone from agreement and i hope it will be confirmed next week in the european council then is a good thing because they can move on ok so they can move on but they basically kicked the most contentious issues just down the road. yes i think so even on the
