looking back historically, all the big powers have kept their embassies in tel aviv, for the very strongciple, in international law, the status of jerusalem remains undetermined. to move an embassy tojerusalem is to do what israel is one to rob the noses of the palestinians it. that is why countries have not done that. —— to to grab the noses of the palestinians. it is part of what would seem to be a shift in policy in america to a much more forthright pro — israeli direction. there is a new ambassador that is likely to be appointed who is quite clearly support a hardline israeli view on the west bank. and this idea of transferring the embassy is on his agenda and is a promise of donald trump. well it to happen, and this is what we are getting from the participants here who are opposed to it, the fear is that it would create the conditions for another upsurge in violence. it is deplored by the people here. one has to be careful, because one thing that can be said with certainty about the incoming trump administration is that we don't ruin what is good to happen at all. we will have to se

this idea donald trump could move the us embassy from tel aviv, where all foreign embassies are at there ofjerusalem is supposed to be decided in peace talks. the palestinians want these to be their future capital, the israelis see a united jerusalem as their capital. the logic goes, any move of the us embassy here would be a recognition of that israeli position. so this does seem to have given extra motivation to those in paris. interestingly, the british government said that is why it didn't send the foreign secretary. it is one of the reasons they have reservations about a conference taking place just days reservations about a conference taking placejust days before reservations about a conference taking place just days before a reservations about a conference taking placejust days before a new american president comes in. thank you for that. with all the sport, here's john watson at the bbc sport centre. clive, thank you. john watson at the bbc sport centre. there were two important matches in the premier league title race today. manchester united earned a 1—1 draw at home to rival
