this is the coalition that benjamin neta nyahu fought. excuse. ht. he had another coalition. we were in the coalition. we represented the idea of two states, or basically the idea of two states, or basically the idea of concessions and steps towards the palestinians, and he toppled his own government and elections by saying that he wants to form a coalition based on what benjamin netanyahu called a natural partner. it is true. would you go back into government with benjamin netanyahu, if he were to be open to accepting the deal that you say is still on the deal that you say is still on the table, a deal to head towards peace? when a year ago, when this deal or the offers or what was on the table, was, when i was told about it, and asked whether i wanted tojoin the government about it, and asked whether i wanted to join the government based on this, i asked several questions. if you question is, frankly. is he willing to free settlements outside of their blocks? is he willing to give up the far right in his coalition? is he willing to make more pos

benjamin neta nyahu, when occupied west bank. anyahu, when donald trump was a candidate for the white house, not that long ago, although it seems like a lifetime now, seemed to support some of his immigration policies, the idea of a wall being built on the southern border with mexico. mr netanyahu believed it was a good idea, a wall, he believed, had helped deal with some of the problems involving palestinian terror attacks. he thought that was a good idea. both men have now moved inside the white house. they will be having their talks and a press conference will take place. we have lost the picture, but a press conference will take place in the next few minutes. let's go to gary 0'donoghue, standing by. the suggestion from one white house official that a long—term middle east peace will perhaps not involve a two—state solution, is that something that is actually beginning to get any traction in the united states 7 to get any traction in the united states? i think, to be honest, they are feeling their way a little bit towards a po

the impression gained by benjamin neta nyahu, that world. jamin netanyahu, that he can have more freedom to do what he wants in terms of building jewish settlements than he did under president 0bama, that has prompted him to announce the building of 6000 new homes and the building of 6000 new homes and the first all—new settlement in a generation. that is only in the last couple of weeks. that is quite an impact. you recently got back from syria. the music coming out of the white house appears to be quite positive towards vladimir putin. might that leaders to a point where the countries align to ship it happens in syria? donald trump has said that the priority has to be hitting islamic state and why not do it alongside russia with slack they have done onejoint it alongside russia with slack they have done one joint raids. the position of president assad has been that they want to someone biting islamic state you should support his side. in practice he has been fighting rebels who are not islamic state. many thanks. remember this? these papers

unfortunately, benjamin neta nyahu was not willing, couldn't, didn't want to, it was less important,were on the table. and do you... and they are on the table right now, i believe. well, the offers are still there, but what, he's saying no because of those he's in coalition with, those to the right of him? excuse me. this is the excuse. this is the excuse, this is the coalition that benjamin netanyahu formed. we had another coalition. we were in the coalition. we represented the idea of two states, or basically the idea of concessions and steps towards the palestinians, and he toppled his own government and led to elections by saying that he wants to form a coalition based on what benjamin netanyahu called his "natural partner". it is true. i'm not saying it's a natural partner... would you go back into government with benjamin neta nyahu, if he were to be open to accepting the deal that you say is still on the table, a deal to — to head towards peace? when, a year ago, when this deal or the offers, or what was on the table, was, when i was told about it, and i was asked whether i wa

that benjamin neta nyahu has that he has been... jamin netanyahu has been using in the uk it is, as they identify, a fiddly for this normalisation of settlements. when you add that benjamin netanyahu will be looking at trump as a more sympathetic president and administration in the us, it almost rubber stamps... the us, it almost rubber stamps... the us almost rubber stamps is rarely policy. this is a worrying sign for those of us who talk to the palestinian two state solution, which does seem sadly unlikely stop wait to make it clear for those who wa nt wait to make it clear for those who want a wait to make it clear for those who wanta —— wait to make it clear for those who want a —— unlikely. to make it clear, benjamin netanyahu was in the uk. a lot of the coverage talks about his coverage of the ran almost trying to deflect attention from what's going on in terms of this housing settlements. it seems to be a concerted policy by the israelis. last week we had pictures of what was about to happen in on illegal settlement, because s

i suppose benjamin neta nyahu is saying palestinians. is saying a wider agreement and consensus on what to do in the occupied territories and so on do in the occupied territories and so on has been given an added impetus because of the rising power, certainly in nuclear terms, of iran, which has perhaps focused attention ona which has perhaps focused attention on a wider deal? i think the prime minister may be overplaying this a little bit. certainly there are similarities in the interest of the gulf states, for example, and in israel, in containing iran's influence. they can share some intelligence and so forth on that. the united states is going to be the main player with the arab gulf states for a long time, as well as the british and other europeans. i don't see the israelis offering a critical dimension that the other allies of the gulf states did not already have from the united states and others. he may be overplaying this shared interest a bit. saying it's up to the palestinians and israelis to decide whether or not it isa israel

we're waiting to hearfrom benjamin netanyahu waiting to hearfrom benjamin neta nyahu duke and waitingg you inside. this is going to be very interesting because a lot of discussion about the two state solution, is that still something the us is working towards, if not what? many questions will be for donald trump and benjamin netanyahu to. just setting up a news conference, there will be full coverage on that in our five o'clock news coming up in the next few minutes. it is due to begin in about five minutes. as soon as it is will be their life for that. and it'll be interesting if there are questions to donald trump about issues, perhaps a little closer to home. that is done to come with quiet but now it is time for the weather, nicola has focused. hello temperatures has had up... and ice blue sky in cornwall. lots of blue skies in staffordshire. then the rain came in. this weather system then the rain came in. this weather syste m fro m then the rain came in. this weather system from south east england across the midlands and parts of north—west england. some heavy bursts in this as

more voices within this current coalition led by benjamin netanyahu current coalition led by benjamin neta nyahucoalition led by benjamin netanyahu are talking about annexation, something that is against the interest of israel, now what we represented something that is completely different, and in the end, with each elections in israel, hopefully sooner, and put this on the table and to say ok, this is what i represent and we represent something else but i do agree, that this is the response that is of any leadership, and by refusing to all of these deals suggestions negotiations, that are based not only on relations between israelis and the palestinians, but also on the possibility to change the situation, the strategic situation of israel in the region. with the arabs. they know, most of the arab world, the moderate arab sunni state wa nt to world, the moderate arab sunni state want to normalise the relations with israel, at the glass ceiling is the israeli—palestinian conflict and therefore we can do something that is bigger. and unfortunately, benjamin netanyahu, was not willing, couldn't, d

all this as he welcomes the israeli prime minister benjamin neta nyahu to washington, with one whitese official saying a peace deal between israel and the palestinians may not come in the form of a two—state solution. our correspondent is in washington. you can gauge the president's mood by the amount of tweet. yes. these work early morning, between 7am and atm, a flurry came, presumably as he walk up to the news reports in the media, particularly this one that accused the trump team of having contact with russian intelligence during the campaign. that seems to have really caused him to blow a gasket and accuse the fbi and other parts of the intelligence community of what he calls interfering in politics, which is enormously serious an accusation. some will raise an eyebrow at that because the fbi were accused exactly of the same thing during the campaign when they announced the reopening of an investigation into hillary clinton's emails ten days before polling day. i was emails ten days before polling day. iwas in emails ten days before polling day. i was in new hampshire when that

not clear exactly what that means, but benjamin netanyahu clear exactly what that means, but benjamin neta nyahuhoping that she is going to go beyond whatever may be contained within the details of the nuclear deal and actually forcing home the message that what the iranians are doing is com pletely that what the iranians are doing is completely out of order? he nuclear deal, signed 2015, was important as it stopped an inevitable slide towards war over iran's nuclear plans. britain is a permanent member of the security council, one of five. it is very important in terms ofan five. it is very important in terms of an international response to what goes on with iran, but the nuclear deal was deliberately very narrowly cast so it does not touch any of the other activities that iran may or may not be getting up to. middle eastern editorjeremy bowen there. a boat found on a beach near mullaghmore in county sligo may have been used by refugees attempting to reach america from cuba. it's the first time such a vessel has been recorded being washed ashore anywhere in europe. bbc newsline's correspondent

their own diplomacy with benjamin netanyahu their own diplomacy with benjamin neta nya hu every their own diplomacy with benjamin neta nyahuenjamin netanyahu every time it comes here orany netanyahu every time it comes here or any israeli prime minister, so if is what flynn was talking about then i think he is entirely correct. if there is one thing that we learn from history than it is not so much the actor gets a person in trouble but the attempt to cover it up afterwards. are we looking at a bigger scandal here? afterwards. are we looking at a bigger scandal here ?|j afterwards. are we looking at a bigger scandal here? i wouldn't think so. i think if there was a bigger scandal he would not have cut him loose like that. the president is not stupid, no president is really stupid. if he had sent flynn to do this, he would've had to keep in close somehow, make him an ambassador or met send him to another department in the united states, somewhere away from classical government. he cut his head off and if you resign you are fired. he knew that if flynn was sent by the president to do this then he has mighty reasons for reven
