really stated significant really didn't have that much power who decides. well to jim to be running hyacinths two police officers were killed in the compound. prompting authorities install security devices at the entrance off that site which is sacred to both muslims and jews. will move outraged muslims i spot some of the worst street clashes in years. under intense pressure israel removed metal detectors from thoughts sit. but the more we can cost out of principles air is not clear who's in jerusalem. that here is that it's been tense the relatively calm in around jerusalem a today. a but i wasn't the case in the west bank was it. not only does it says if those two sections we should consider what we now see in jerusalem is relative quiet still am an enormous amount of police on the streets. but i have changed as we age limits there is no age limit for the evening prayer tonight and for prayer at

the al aqsa mosque from now. so and in the words of the ship the move to the grand mufti of jerusalem sheik mohammed hussein he said we have suffered for it sovereignty in the mosque and freedom. of worship and that is not true for all ages and that's because there was relative quiet there was an easy dispersal. of the worship of some ten thousand in the mosque and some in the streets those on the fifteenth still praying in the streets as they have. for two weeks now. in the west bank however we did see today and more. agitation and burning tyres throwing rocks israeli troops responding with tear gas and with some grenades scenes where familiar with but. perhaps extending today in bethlehem in have drawn in ramallah but for the first time in nablus two palestinians died today also one in situation which is not entirely clear. a at the gaza border fence and another whom israeli troops say ran a poll young palestinian men ran towards

them armed with a knife they shot and killed him. neutralized is the word they used. okay and. here is the palestinians are hailing these events during the call of the last couple of days this thing. there is something of a rare victory is that what is the how your hearing. events be interpreted. yes it was a climb down. but by israel perhaps the original decision was mistaken there's a lot of debate inside israel about criticism inside israel. it some very hard right wing government they don't enjoy hearing the grand mufti of jerusalem saying that he has sovereignty over the al aqsa mosque compound. and they are now blaming each other blaming the ami blaming the security services him one. and a right wing m. minnesota has said. were actually cal it's because of the recruit recommendations they might so we can see them turning on each other. so that's the israeli side and the israeli moderate saying the whole action was misguided mishandled. but on the

palestinian side there is a feeling that this was an action of the palestinian street it didn't come from. the political parties it didn't come from fatah who didn't come from hamas. it came from the street and from the mosque. and those of the two parties today that a satisfied. and that are claiming this is a victory i must say critics is also being taken by hamas. and by the northern islamist inside israel the islamist check ride salah. but really it is a victory over the east jerusalem palestinians most of whom i indulge in it was civil disobedience i mean there were also writes but was mostly civil disobedience of people praying outside the mosque. that shape this results. okay will pick you very much indeed for that update. mostly because it was my * in jerusalem thanks again. the courts in its stumble has decided that seven employees of an opposition newspaper should be released pending the outcome of that trial. however full of the employees of the gym hard at newspaper will remain behind bars until the end of the

slightly. french president emmanuel mccoy just backtrack he. to the decision on thursday to temporarily nationalized close shipyards on the atlantic coast. and this is generated a lot of criticism around europe. the move is a way to have more time to negotiate a lower price for a takeover by italian firm fincantieri. but this is raising questions for some. german paper handelsblatt for instance asking why isn't a european partner like fincantieri not considered to be trustworthy. the french government spokesman kissed of castanea defended the decision this friday saying that the stx shipyards. are a matter of national sovereignty. no social chair now that there's a dry dog in this shipyard that's the only one in europe where we can build an aircraft carrier. so it's about national sovereignty alone should assume i did assume that if a socialist faced with this risk france wants to remain a major partner for the shipyard shops in that. even if it means standing by this decision which has surprised many sector and which was obviously not directed

against our italian partner just called. the boston we took it to defend the strategic and industrial interests of our country and do not. be. some airline news now with air france klm back in black company is now running a net profit of a hundred fifty one million euros thanks in part to higher traffic. there are other reasons for this change of fortune like strategic acquisitions and an important restructuring efforts. i will maxwell tells us mor. its profits are up about nine times since the same period last year. put this recovery alcohol scale em announced it would be cementing closer ties with delta airlines. china eastern and virgin atlantic. the idea behind it is to fight marcos rivals for market share. with the arrival of no frills long haul flights competition has intensified. have you're not you're not. we have an extremely competitive environments where consequently it was essential for alfonse klm not only to maintain its

position. but to be aggressive it'll force. delta airlines and shanghai based china eastern will each get a ten percent stake in that fourth ko i am. raising seven hundred fifty one million euros the franco dutch carrier. in thailand* is born of thirty one percent stake in virgin atlantic. to give it to storm the fifteen in the lucrative trans atlantic flights markets. as well as at london heathrow. europe's busiest international hop. restructuring is also part of the efforts recovery story. after years of labor strife it recently one pilot backing for efficiency measures. and is adding to its feet with a new local subsidiary court june. it'll begin medium range operations this year unknown who flights in twenty eighteen. well the united kingdom's treasury chief philip hammond has said that britain will abide by european union rules for up to three years after it officially leaves the block. in march twenty nineteen. hammond explained this

transition period was it necessary to move from this it's status quo today. to a new normal. this transition should add before the next general election which is scheduled for twenty twenty two. take a listen to phil pam. i think what the british public wants to see on the first day after we leave. his business pretty much as usual they'll expect to go to the supermarket and find that french and spanish products are on the shelf as usual. that expect to go to the apple be able to get on a plane and fly to a holiday destination in europe. exactly as usual so our job as we leave the european union is to make sure that we can do this in a way that is smooth. without disruption to people's everyday lives without. scripting the supply chains of businesses run across our borders. now some economic data now with the latest growth figures from the united states. the second quarter of this year that's between april and june the country's gross domestic product

increased two point six percent. as a reminder of the gdp is the economy's total output of goods and services. that two point six percent figure is more than twice the increase we saw in the previous quarter which was of one point two percent. let spike is largely due to increased consumer spending of two point eight percent. also worth noting that this pace of growth is still considered slow economists are calling this the weakest recovery in the post world war two era. it's also a far cry from donald trump's pledge to reach growth rates of four percent or better. let's take a look at the markets now over on the wall street's. stocks are generally lower at the moment. economists saying the two point six growth rate in the second quarter was in line with expectations to dow jones just above the flat line zero point one percent the nasdaq down zero point one percent. the snp five hundred down almost zero point two percent. in europe stock sir have finished the week lower and dragged by amazon missing its earnings expectations in the previous session. also
