internet service also only for world peace if i suggest that you think in terms of the native people less personal ownership. possession school or a matter of community this is our opportunity to live here for oil. business did on the news come to you live from berlin and the israeli prime

minister arrives in brussels retentions brewing over the status of jerusalem jerusalem as israel's capital no one can guard it doesn't obviate the brics peace possible because recognizing reality is the substance of the previous big deal and netanyahu tennesee upon ministers then nations unlike the us should recognize jews them as israel's capital and we go live to brussels. and see their german politicians condemned the burning of israeli flags in butlins that's off the council's demonstrated in the german capital against president from students of decision. also coming up when tickets your dough with a vengeance heavy still for brings travel chaos but it's a winter wonderland facade.

i know i'm on with that shima good to have your company. israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu has said european governments should follow the united states in recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel netanyahu is in brussels for talks with the e.u. foreign ministers but the e.u. has condemned the u.s. decision and is expected to put pressure on these really leader to do more to revive the peace process here's some of what netanyahu and use foreign policy chief federica mo greeny had to say you know where the european union stands we believe. that the only realistic solution to the conflicts between israel and palestine is based on two states which are those as the capital of both the state of israel and the state of palestine along the sixty seven line this is our considered position i believe that all or most of the european countries will move their embassies to jerusalem record does crucial in this is rose a couple. robustly with us for security prosperity.

and peace rather. and for more let's go over to the bureau chief in brussels max of one i met see how do sizes so completely far apart on the issue of jerusalem given that what kind of reception did netanyahu get in brussels. friends and partners that's a term we heard a lot today especially from federico more greenie especially in the beginning trying to underline and giving a friendly start to binyamin netanyahu in the beginning but of course as you just showed those clips show everything the differences are huge between that you foreign policy chief and the prime minister of israel regarding drusilla that has most likely not changed and last week when we heard the news about president donald trump recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel quite frankly a lot of officials here in brussels and probably chief among them federica marina were quite horrified by that decision and the boss the u.s.

they had quite an active role in the peace process that was a part of the mideast peace corps what it how do you think he was rohde as media to now in this conflict. there is a void there at the moment because the united states haven't been doing much with the new trumpet ministration although binyamin netanyahu said here in brussels that a new proposal for peace was on its way being worked out by the trumpet ministration we'll have to wait and see when that materializes so there would be a void but the e.u. isn't necessarily well placed to fill that void at the moment because you need the trust of both partners that you might have the trust of the palestinians at the moment but israel isn't very well trustworthy of the european union at the moment for different reasons one of them is that although the official stance of the e.u. is as you know that jerusalem can only be the capital of two states when there is a two state solution the general view here of the member states is quite different

if you look at greece for example with the way any of the czech republic some scandinavian countries there are really at odds because some of those countries are pro palestinian some of them are pro israel so it's hard really to make out a a common partner or a common position here that would be difficult of course and then of course if you look at different countries like germany and france where anti-semitism has been on the rise that's not necessarily something that fosters trust with israel as well so to get back into that game to really build something that you would have to put in a lot of effort and trust building maxell funding busses thank you very much. decision on edge and jerusalem aboard to what in bending over the weekend several people were arrested after thousands of cruel palestinian protesters took to the streets of the demonstrations a spark concerns about anti semitism as you just heard max talk about that this after protesters burned at least three israeli flags two of them outside the u.s.

embassy the kid next to the national holocaust memorial some protesters also chanted anti jewish slogans police have nourse an investigation into the flag burning meanwhile germany nor makers have strongly condemned the flag burning incidents justice minister heikal mosque treating any kind of anti semitism is an attack on everyone anti semitism must never be allowed to have a place in society again interior minister told muslim a zero also strongly lashing out at the flag manas saying we do not accept jews or the state of israel being insulted in this shameful way and the german government spokesman stefan ziba had this to say. individual demonstrations over the weekend slogans were chanted israeli flags were burned on the state of israel and jews in general were insulted in a disgraceful manner. it is shameful to see the cemetery some paraded so

openly on the streets of germany germany has especially close call and with the state of israel and all people of the jewish faith in our laws on free speech and right of assembly all for everyone the right to peaceful protest but that freedom is not a carte blanche for on the summit explorers or hatred and for violence and it's important that we all oppose such behavior at every opportunity. that was the german government spokesperson i'm joined now by our political correspondent simon young from a parliamentary food has some of the german ministers and the government making very tough statements there with that they want to send a very strong message on their. yeah retire thing they want to make it clear that protest against the decision by president trump to recognize to root slim is israel's capital mustn't be allowed to spill over into anti semitic

violence and of course there's always some potential for that here in germany especially in big cities like berlin where you've got a launch immigrant population with sympathy for the palestinian cause and it's pretty clear that some of these people demonstrating over the weekend in berlin outside the u.s. embassy were very angry and you know a longstanding opponents of israel and some flag burning is illegal in many countries what is the situation here in germany. yeah meters are as i understand it there's no special protection for israeli flags all foreign flags and state symbols enjoy a certain amount of protection if they are being officially shown for instance flags flying on embassy buildings but even unofficial flags or homemade flags such as was at least one of the flags being burned over the weekend here in

berlin even that could be the give rise to a criminal proceedings for instance of police believed that there was incitement to ethnic hatred and police say they are looking into that possibility and of course there are these special sensitivities here in germany is the government spokesman alluded to there because of history because of the holocaust and the relations between germany and israel and some of the summer recess the media during demonstrations over the weekend is it known one of these arrests the specifically in relation to the flag burning incident yeah i mean you know what what's happened over the weekend is clearly a matter of concern to the police they've stepped in they've say they've arrested or detained at least ten people and charges may be brought against some of them it's not clear whether that specifically in relation to flag burning they're

looking into whether crimes have been committed but these could be public order offenses or incitement to hatred as i suggested or indeed some other form of form charge could ultimately be brought we'll have to wait and see some of the other but i'm interested here thank you. turning onto other news and russia's president vladimir putin has ordered a partial redrawing of russian troops from syria president putin made the announcement on a surprise visit to an ad base in syria where he met with president syrian leader bashar assad russian media is reporting putin told us of he wants to kick start the syrian peace process by working with iran and turkey who traveled on to egypt for talks on the middle east crisis it was indeed news still coming up ahead winter arrives in europe bringing travel chaos to the roads really reason airports but not everyone is upset with the heavy snowfall.

helen joins me now to talk about a summit in argentina i met with the often competing claims and lots to thrash out at anna and these first say that the world trade organization has a huge task ahead of it and returned a time of growing protectionism often from industrialized countries around the walls now representatives from one hundred sixty four nations have gathered in the argentine capital born as it is for the first world trade organization since u.s. president donald trump took office now he's previously described the body as a quote disaster accusing it of being set up to benefit everyone but america on other issues though like battling china's protectionist policies the united states is less belligerent calling on the show to stay firm. smiles for the cameras but behind them the recognition of a new reality global trade relationships are undergoing as shift driven not least

by the arrival of u.s. president donald trump and his america first policy mentioned in all but name in the w t o chief's opening remarks. sentiment today is more inward looking the threat of protectionism remains ever present and with this in mind i think it is more important than ever that we build on the progress that we have already made to further strengthen the system what exactly strengthening the system actually entails is less clear among the issues up for discussion is china's demand to be recognized as a market economy on this issue at least the europeans and the united states are united in their opposition such a move would prevent other countries from levying antidumping gigi's against china for selling commodities like steel us unfairly low prices other contentious issues include plans to end state subsidies in the fishing and agricultural industries

that some see as hampering trade. the problems of the w t o are solved with more w t o not with less it's time to be pragmatic and advance on the basis of a scheme that while it's not ideal allows us to take small but firm steps bit of freedom is more w t o leading to more globalization outside the meeting hundreds of protesters gathered to object to precisely that message. they see the rise in global trade as the body that represents fares as contributing to worsening conditions for workers around the world. while we can bring in as yet she now he's the deputy director at the center for international economics in munich thank you for joining us today now what we're seeing is that rather than slapping tariffs on imports countries are going about it in

a more subtle way my question to you so what if they do countries have a right to protect their economies has it really hurt global trade. you know absolutely actually we show in a recent study doubt that these so-called muntari various are increasing since the financial crisis in particular in two thousand and nine and to give you an example what we mean with that is like you know german exports for example they need to implement different bumpers on the u.s. market or on the on the india market and this makes trade more expensive and our study illustrates that if these non-tariff barriers were not in place global trade could be larger by a around half a trillion us dollars so it's a significant trade reducing instrument which you observe increasingly in the last five years that i think it's surprising that we see germany on that list with hidden trade barriers because trump has spoken out against the country's trade deficit do these results then give some weight to his claims. i mean one one need

to be careful of course he has don trump has a point indeed what we observe is that imported killer industrialized countries are using this hidden subtle instruments to non-tariff barriers in order to protect the domestic markets but on the other hand donald trump was referring also to germany because he was not content with the fact that u.s. consumers are importing so many german cars german products or chinese products but the truth is also that the german cost of very productive comp producer or chinese goods are very cheap on the other side because they are subsidized but in germany we don't have the subsidy policy so we need to be a bit more distinguishing between these countries now the deputy recently noted tina said he has a tough job ahead of it do you think that it can really make any headway on actually reversing anti-trade sentiment at a time when you are going to as asian is facing an extension crisis itself. this is

not an exit your ration indeed it's a big crisis and i think i'm very pessimistic honestly because there have has been a stalemate for years now because the interests are diverging between the emerging economies like china and india on the one hand on the end of the industrial industrialized economies on the other had a better road would have been you know the idea of t.t.f.n. the transpacific partnership was to find regional agreements which could then be used within the world trade organization as as as a as a wrote to find again a consensus but this unfortunately turned out to be difficult also because to tip and d.p.p. as we all know now are on hold at the moment to edit and yet change deputy director of the for center for international economics and me nick thank you you thank. now for the first time ever bit corny futures are now tradeable they were north of the chicago board options exchange on sunday evening traders are placing their bets

as to where they think the virtual currency could be in january surging to more than eighteen thousand dollars some expect major if it is to stabilize the price others say it's a bubble and it's set to burst. it's a move some say could propel bitcoin from the fringes to the forefront of finance. the futures markets allies traders to speculate on the cryptic currencies priced at a later date something which could increased ability but also push the price down from the dizzying heights of where it's been i think really argue a correction and i suspect the correction will happen when the futures markets come online and so my suggestion is to kind of wait and see what happens i think that if you're investing though for the next two years or three years then the difference between the price now and the price in a week's time may be irrelevant some say that bitcoin might not even be around to the next two to three years though it's notoriously volatile with warnings that it

may self-destruct and it's not backed but some believe the impact of block change technology will be lasting whatever you might think about proved occurrences the reality is that the technology behind it which is the blog is here to stay if i can make a kind of a comparison is more like the dot com bubble that we had early two thousand. while everybody was getting rich just having you know a dot com on the web side but even after the bubble burst the internet is still there we have facebook google so the technology behind it is here to stay already opinion is divided over whether the trading of futures will prove the making or the downfall of the digital darlin. i too am waiting now for some while significant developing news for me and that's why i fit into both of kenya in the past hour you member states have overwhelmingly agreed to fully why didn't defense cooperation it's a move that lays the foundation for

a proposed european defense union how does a brussels better chief one is keeping track of that story and joins me now back to this more about what's been agreed and how significant a move is this this is called pascoe so permanent structure of cooperation between the different european union militaries that doesn't seem like a big deal maybe at first because it's sort of like baby steps but it's baby steps in a very specific directions ever since the trump administration came to power and maybe even before that the europeans started to realize how vulnerable they were without the americans are hard it would be for them to defend themselves against anybody without the americans without nato the europeans always had built upon their reputation as a soft power but many of them now think that you need some hard power to back this up so what are they doing they are cooperating in different projects the countries that want to can participate others don't necessarily have to participate we're

talking about things like a medical hub training missions logistics and all that and why is this significant well because it might take years it might take decades but maybe at the end of this road we will see what many politicians have been calling for in the past a european army maxell fight in brussels thank you very much. the large boss of europe have been covered in a blanket of snow what do you think here is wrong footage which we've got to for you from the netherlands but the reality for travelers around europe is not quite as beautiful there was chaos on the roads in britain off the heaviest snowfall in four years and germany also got its first heavy dusting of the year here too there were disruptions but for many it was also an opportunity to have a bit of fun. that day of going nowhere fast however intrepid. this the site for thousands of passengers at
