meantime, hasan and thousands of other private hire drivers like him will need to think about other possible routes ahead. sophie long, bbc news, london. the british street artist banksy has opened a hotel next to israel'snd it's a controversial addition to the city's tourist sites, as alex forsyth reports. steeped in irony — an artist's take on the grand hotels of a bygone age. this one claims to have the worst view in the world. the concrete slabs of the barrier israel has built in and around the occupied west bank are just feet away. this hotel as much a political statement as a new business. inside, echoes of an english gentlemen‘s club. but the artwork is a sharp contrast. banksy‘s critical view of life under israeli occupation, designed to persuade visitors of the palestinians‘ plight. as you lay down in your bed and you will look at the wall and you will look at the paintings all around you, and you will see the agony and the images of what could be a different future. and i believe that's the best mobilisation message for people to get on their feet and act. the elusive artist has left his mark on the west bank before. there's even a shop selling his merchandise in bethlehem. his provocative art

going to get this done but in the meantime, you have to go through this period, but i do believe they'll get there. i think they're unified as well. >> so congressman israel, what do you say? >> well, you know, jack is right. this is a process. people think that passing legislation is like making sausage. in this case it's like molding jell-o. they have to shape it for moderate republicans in the house. they have to shape it for freedom caucus conservatives in the house. they've got to shape it so that it gets passed in the senate and comes back. here's the bottom line, the number we should be watching. there are 237 republicans in the house. they're going to need 216 votes to pass this in the house. that means they have a margin of about 22 republicans. they can't afford to lose 22 republicans. right now there are enough republicans from moderate districts and enough republicans from freedom caucus districts to bring this thing down if they want. >> congressman kingston, that is the issue, right? that magic number of 22. >> yes. >> you heard senator cassidy saying this bill is not what trump promised. a damning comment. that's in the senate. but he's not
