airbnb is incredibly popular inside israel. you wouldn't think it would necessarily merit this unless there was something greater. we have seen bds having great success. planneds have concerts and people have bought tickets, and then the bds group affects them, and they don't come. we have seen human rights watch said in an announcement this morning that they had lobbied airbnb to reach this decision. it is not just an imaginary thought that bds is behind it. that is worrying for israeli politicians. >> thank you. in other news, an american judge has temporarily blocked an order by president donald trump that bars us on them for immigrants to enter the country illegally from mexico. courtroom to feed for his immigration policy. in the meantime, officials briefly closed the courtroom tos busiest border crossing from mexico on monday in order to beef up security. it was part by some concerns that some of the thousands of central american migrants currently on the mexican side could try to rush the crossing. this as the accident b

let's talk about the story that is fast company and the website there, they say that airbnb is goingart designing houses. it is not just a company that is providing housing, it is a company that provides the houses itself. quite interesting, this is its new initiative called the act yard. to design and prototype new ways of building and sharing homes, this sort of strange convergence of business models. well, yes, i guess an interesting development given of course that we have seen many companies that started with one thing ina companies that started with one thing in a branching out into other things, like for example amazon and others, and of course airbnb is one of the companies that has started out the renting out revolution that we have seen in many cities across the world over the past couple of yea rs. the world over the past couple of years. they are now saying we are endeavouring to design and prototype new ways of designing and sharing houses in a more sustainable, eco— friendly way, and of course, that is something which will i guess be welcomed, especially as airbnb faces

well, certainly it would be very damning to airbnb if it ta kes be very damning to airbnb if it takes rest of the country because it is a very popular way for israelis to rent out their accommodation. there is the possibility, they say, of trying to take action against airbnb in the us but the good lawsuits also perhaps issued the other way, if airbnb were to make a different decision. it's been pointed out in the us and european union is not allowed to discriminate with customers based on national origin but to allow us that in countries for a domestic law is different. 0ne countries for a domestic law is different. one of the things, one of the inconsistencies as pointed out by human rights watch report, possible theory for a palestinian to be told that they cannot even rent a template to property on land that they privately done because that's now been taken over by in israeli settlement, there is such a case study included in this report and i think that's what has really prompted terry mac to to take some action. thank you very much for that. easyjet says uncertainty over brexit

we used to hearing stories about cities fighting airbnb because they do not like it in their backyardon, what do you make of that? with this situation, this is obviously a very delicate situation and always is that for a long time, airbnb have offered these various different bits of accommodation in the west bank but in israeli settlements within the west bank, and obviously the issue that we have here is that in a number of those areas, any palestinian with palestinian id is not even allowed in those areas, so it has become a massive issue, it has become, it has become actually bpr story is well for airbnb, where it seems more that they had been pressured to remove this on one side, rather than willingly removing it themselves. —— pr. and of course, this has been created attention of the israeli government because the israeli government have had close ties with airbnb to initially put a lot of these properties online onto their software, but now it seems that they are going to be withdrawn and of course, the israeli government is particularly unhappy about that. yes, absolutely, so a
