0:00:11 > 0:00:17Hello and welcome to World News Today.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20After almost six months of talks, finally a breakthrough
0:00:20 > 0:00:26in negotiations between the UK and the EU.
0:00:26 > 0:00:32A deal was struck first thing Friday morning on key areas
0:00:32 > 0:00:34including the Irish border and the Divorce Bill.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Now, discussions can move onto the second phase -
0:00:36 > 0:00:37the future trade relationship.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39But Donald Tusk, the President of the European Commission
0:00:39 > 0:00:42has sounded a warning - so much time has been
0:00:42 > 0:00:44devoted to the early, easier part of the negotiations,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46and the hard part is only just beginning.
0:00:46 > 0:00:52Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg has more.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56While most of us slept, when hardly a soul was stirring, the residents
0:00:56 > 0:00:59of Downing Street were up.
0:00:59 > 0:01:09Late-night calls.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Then, at seven minutes past four, onto the plane.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Theresa May, travelling, while Jean-Claude Juncker was
0:01:14 > 0:01:18pacing, waiting, in so many ways, for the UK.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21And then, touchdown.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Ready?
0:01:22 > 0:01:30Ready if you are.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Taking their places for the moment, after
0:01:31 > 0:01:32three days of cajoling.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33Compromise and criticism.
0:01:33 > 0:01:40It was a good morning for Theresa May.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45A deal to pave the way for Brexit, round two, the
0:01:45 > 0:01:52jargon she had longed to hear.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Sufficient progress has now been made on the strict
0:01:55 > 0:01:56terms of the divorce.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58This was a difficult negotiation for the European Union,
0:01:58 > 0:02:03as well as for the United Kingdom.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05After breakdown on Monday, blocked by her allies
0:02:05 > 0:02:07at home, a huge weight off
0:02:07 > 0:02:08the government's stressed shoulders.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I very much welcome the prospect of moving
0:02:10 > 0:02:11ahead to the next phase, to
0:02:11 > 0:02:14talk about trade and security, and to discuss the positive and
0:02:14 > 0:02:17ambitious future relationship.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Are you going to be celebrating, cracking open the champagne?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22No.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Still working.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25No celebrations for either side.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26No champagne?
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Water.
0:02:30 > 0:02:36Many compromises, and more to come.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38The agreement implies it will cost up to
0:02:38 > 0:02:40£39 billion to settle our account as we leave.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44There is no final figure, and it could be more, but paid over
0:02:44 > 0:02:45many years.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Both sides say that Brits who live elsewhere in the EU,
0:02:47 > 0:02:57and European citizens who live here will have their rights protected.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03And, crucially for Tory backbenchers, the role of the
0:03:03 > 0:03:04European Court will be limited.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08There is a promise there will be no hard border in Ireland between North
0:03:08 > 0:03:10and South, a vow that rules and regulations will be aligned
0:03:10 > 0:03:12if there is no big trade deal.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14And a time-limited transition period as we
0:03:14 > 0:03:15leave.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17We are not making any comment.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20But what about the DUP, who had so embarrassed the Prime
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Minister on Monday?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23She needs their votes in parliament, and this week
0:03:23 > 0:03:24they squeezed some concessions.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26But in the early hours, Theresa May made
0:03:26 > 0:03:29the decision to crack on, even though they weren't quite sure.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35There are still matters we would have liked to have seen clarified.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36We ran out of time, essentially.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40We think that we needed to go back again and talk about those matters,
0:03:40 > 0:03:44but the Prime Minister has decided to go to Brussels in relation to
0:03:44 > 0:03:50this text, and she says she has done that in the national interest.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51The Leader of the Opposition, speaking
0:03:51 > 0:03:55at the UN today, was even less impressed.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57This could have been done some time ago.
0:03:57 > 0:04:04The referendum took place in 2016 and now, right at the
0:04:04 > 0:04:08end of 2017, this is the first time there has been any sign of any
0:04:08 > 0:04:10movement to go on to phase two.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13But Tory relief washed over social media, the Cabinet falling over
0:04:13 > 0:04:16themselves to praise their boss, and notable by their absence,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19most Tory Brexiteers.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21The ultimate arbiter, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23The real criticism from this man.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Remember him?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Amazing.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30The British Prime Minister flies through the
0:04:30 > 0:04:33middle of the night to meet unelected bureaucrats who pat her on
0:04:33 > 0:04:35the head, they say you have met our demands, made sufficient progress
0:04:35 > 0:04:37and can move to the next stage.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41The whole thing is a humiliation.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43As one of the Brussels brokers was keen to
0:04:43 > 0:04:50point out, reaching the next deal to shake on will be harder still.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Remember, the most difficult challenge is still ahead.
0:04:54 > 0:05:01We all know that breaking up is hard.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04But breaking up and building a new relation is much harder.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07But round here, there is no jubilation, more
0:05:07 > 0:05:08like thank goodness, because these negotiations are intertwined
0:05:08 > 0:05:18with the Prime Minister's fate.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28The talks stumble, so does she.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30The talks muddle through, and so does she.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Had there not been this deal at dawn,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34there would have been serious rumblings about Theresa May's
0:05:34 > 0:05:35future.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37With progress comes breathing space, but there is
0:05:37 > 0:05:38compromise, plenty of it.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40And with that comes winners and losers, and
0:05:40 > 0:05:41no real guarantees.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Getting this far and keeping the peace has strained
0:05:43 > 0:05:45this street already.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Tory divisions have not disappeared.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48But agreeing anything has been an achievement.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49For tonight at least, a little goodwill.
0:05:49 > 0:05:59Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News, Westminster.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02There have been clashes between Israeli forces
0:06:02 > 0:06:04and Palestinians protesting at Donald Trump's decision
0:06:04 > 0:06:14to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17One person has died and over 200 have been injured.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19There have also been demonstrations across the Arab world.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen reports from Jerusalem.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26The biggest protests were in Gaza.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Plenty of people had warned that US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's
0:06:29 > 0:06:31capital would lead to bloodshed.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35The first person to die was a 30-year-old Palestinian.
0:06:35 > 0:06:43He was shot by the Israeli army during clashes
0:06:43 > 0:06:49on Gaza's border.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Others were wounded.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55There were clashes around towns on the West Bank, too.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56The Palestinians want Gaza and the West
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Bank to be their future state, with a capital in East Jerusalem.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00This is our land.
0:07:00 > 0:07:07All Palestine is our land.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Mr Trump, you are wrong.
0:07:09 > 0:07:18Israel is, want all of Jerusalem, are delighted
0:07:18 > 0:07:23by President Trump's recognition of their capital.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25He said, we are steadfast here, internally, since ancient
0:07:25 > 0:07:26times.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29This city was given to Jews thousands of years ago and the US
0:07:29 > 0:07:30has recognised that.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33But the golden dome behind him is part of the third
0:07:33 > 0:07:36holiest place in the world for Muslims, and a few hundred yards
0:07:36 > 0:07:38away, several thousand Palestinians were going home after the noon
0:07:38 > 0:07:39prayer.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42The reality of this city is that many Palestinians live here.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Life for them can be hard.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50This home has been demolished twice this year
0:07:50 > 0:07:52by order of the Israeli authorities.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Like many Palestinians, he built without a permit.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Israel gives Palestinians very few construction
0:07:59 > 0:08:03permits, while building thousands of homes for Jews.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I born in this land, and my father and my grandfather.
0:08:05 > 0:08:12I will die in this place.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Palestinian areas of Jerusalem were quieter
0:08:14 > 0:08:18after Friday prayers than many expected.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Whenever a crowd formed, mostly of onlookers, the police
0:08:20 > 0:08:22broke it up.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Mr Trump's declaration is a big challenge for the
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Palestinian national movement and will turn into a big defeat
0:08:29 > 0:08:31for it as well if the Palestinians are not
0:08:31 > 0:08:34able to organise a coherent challenge to what has happened, and
0:08:34 > 0:08:42to build on all the international criticism there has been.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Israel feels on the up.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46It has been given American presidential recognition in
0:08:46 > 0:08:47this city, without mention of occupation,
0:08:47 > 0:08:48and without, so far, a
0:08:48 > 0:08:58single concession in return.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Anger at the decision has spread across the Muslim world.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Our correspondents in Kabul, Islamabad and Jakarta all sent us
0:09:03 > 0:09:11these reports on demonstrations taking place in their cities.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14The voice that has been echoing in the city of Kabul today
0:09:14 > 0:09:23is this, "Death to Israel and death to America!"
0:09:23 > 0:09:30And though for some the stance of the Government has been firm
0:09:30 > 0:09:32enough saying that this announcement of the American
0:09:32 > 0:09:35president will hurt the feelings of the Muslims around the world
0:09:35 > 0:09:37and it could further to stabilise the Middle East,
0:09:37 > 0:09:42but for many people, that wasn't enough.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43-- further destabilise.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45They felt they had to come out into the streets
0:09:45 > 0:09:46and give this message.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50The message here on the banners is that Jerusalem is the front line.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It is the red line, and that it has been crossed.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53SHOUTING
0:09:53 > 0:09:54CROWD CHANT
0:09:55 > 0:09:57This is one of the Central market in Islamabad
0:09:57 > 0:09:59where protesters have gathered from different areas after prayer.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02These protesters are demanding US President Donald Trump
0:10:02 > 0:10:10reverse his decision of recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Similar anti-US rallies are also being held in major
0:10:12 > 0:10:13cities of Pakistan,
0:10:13 > 0:10:14including Karachi and Lahore.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Right-wing political parties and some Islamist groups are reading
0:10:17 > 0:10:23these anti-Trump and anti-American protests across the country,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26but it is also important to note here that this time it is not only
0:10:26 > 0:10:29the traditional adversaries of the USA and Pakistan protesting,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Donald Trump's decision, but some political parties
0:10:31 > 0:10:34which are known to be allies of the US are also...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36These have also found some common ground in rejecting
0:10:36 > 0:10:41Donald Trump's statement regarding the status of Jerusalem.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45The security situation is on high alert in sensitive areas,
0:10:45 > 0:10:50especially diplomatically with the US Embassy is situated
0:10:50 > 0:10:52and at the US consulate in Lahore and Karachi,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54just yesterday, during a similar kind of demonstration,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57some students unions tried to march towards the US consulate in Lahore.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Therefore security has been put on high alert to avoid any
0:11:00 > 0:11:01uncalled for situations.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Around 300 people rallying in front of the US Embassy in Jakarta
0:11:04 > 0:11:06after the Friday prayer to protest President Trump's decision
0:11:06 > 0:11:08to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
0:11:08 > 0:11:10and move its Embassy to the holy city.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12They demanded that the sovereignty of Jerusalem to be given
0:11:12 > 0:11:14to the Palestinians and to make Jerusalem the capital
0:11:14 > 0:11:15of the Palestine state.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18However a small group of Jewish community and Israel supporters
0:11:18 > 0:11:20have shown their support to President Trump 's
0:11:20 > 0:11:21have shown their support to President Trump's
0:11:21 > 0:11:22recognition.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Earlier this week, the president said the unilateral decision
0:11:24 > 0:11:28was against the UN a solution and that it might harm the world
0:11:28 > 0:11:29peace and world stability.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31It also called the Organisation of Islamic Corporation to be taking
0:11:31 > 0:11:34the issue extensively in the leaders Summit held next week in Istanbul.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37It also called the Organisation of Islamic Cooporation to be taking
0:11:37 > 0:11:40the issue extensively in the leaders Summit held next week in Istanbul.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Indonesia doesn't have any bilateral ties with real Israel and a Muslim
0:11:42 > 0:11:45majority country has been on the side of the Palestine
0:11:45 > 0:11:47defending the Muslim solidarity.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50The United Nations says at least 14 of its peacekeepers have been killed
0:11:50 > 0:11:53and dozens injured in an attack in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Five Congolese soldiers also died in the assault in the east
0:11:55 > 0:11:57of the country in Kivu.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59Emergency teams are in the area and evacuations are under way.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says it's the worst attack
0:12:02 > 0:12:12on peacekeepers in recent history, and could amount to war crimes.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18I condemn this attack unequivocally.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20And these deliberate attacks against UN peacekeepers
0:12:20 > 0:12:22are unacceptable and constitute a war crime.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I call on the DRC authorities to investigate
0:12:24 > 0:12:26these incidents and swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29There must be no impunity for such assaults here or anywhere else.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Military reinforcements have arrived on the scene.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32The Force Commander is there as well,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34coordinating the mission's response, and the medical evacuation
0:12:34 > 0:12:35of casualties is ongoing.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37This is the worst attack on UN peacekeepers in
0:12:37 > 0:12:38the organisation's recent history.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41It is another indication of the enormous sacrifices made by troop
0:12:41 > 0:12:43contributing countries in the service of global peace.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45These brave women and men are putting their
0:12:45 > 0:12:47lives on the line every day across the world to serve peace
0:12:47 > 0:12:56and to protect civilians.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Our Africa security correspondent Tomi Oladipo has more about the UN's
0:12:58 > 0:13:02role in DRC, from Nairobi.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Well, this attack happened on Thursday night.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08It was an attack on a UN base where the UN troops of the mission,
0:13:08 > 0:13:14Monusco, known as Monusco were.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16We believe that suspected militants from a group that
0:13:16 > 0:13:18operates in the DRC, but originates from Uganda.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24The group is called Ally Democratic Forces, ADF,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27that's who the UN has blamed or they are suspecting that elements
0:13:27 > 0:13:29of this group would have been involved in that attack.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35And it appears to have been a surprise attack,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38considering the number of casualties - over 50 wounded and then
0:13:38 > 0:13:44over a dozen killed.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48So this is quite a major incident for the UN and the DRC where it has
0:13:48 > 0:13:49been facing a lot of challenges.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52This is the largest UN peacekeeping mission in the world.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53It is one of the largest budgets.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55The troops were over 18,000.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57From what we are hearing, the troops involved were from,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59at least the ones killed, were from Tanzania.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Tanzania sends in over 1000 troops to this 18,000.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04So it's a major mission there, but it has been going on for such
0:14:04 > 0:14:07a long time, and there has been criticism about Monusco as a whole
0:14:07 > 0:14:08and its effectiveness.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I think this will be brought again to the forefront
0:14:12 > 0:14:14and brought to the discussion, considering the challenges UN
0:14:14 > 0:14:16peacekeeping has been facing as a whole in terms
0:14:16 > 0:14:25of effectiveness, but also in terms of funding.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29And that was our Africa Security Correspondent,
0:14:29 > 0:14:36Tom Oladipo giving his analysis into the attack in the DRC.
0:14:36 > 0:14:42Let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news...
0:14:42 > 0:14:44As we've heard, the Brexit breakthrough should now enable
0:14:44 > 0:14:47discussions to move on to the next phase, and focus on what the future
0:14:47 > 0:14:50relationship between the UK and EU will look like.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52But what exactly has been agreed so far -
0:14:52 > 0:14:54and what does it mean?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Chris Morris from the BBC's Reality Check team takes a closer look.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58A breakthrough in the Brexit negotiations for sure,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01but it's worth emphasising that this is only an agreement that sufficient
0:15:01 > 0:15:10progress has been made on issues relating to the UK's withdrawal.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13It locks in the progress made so far, but at the same time
0:15:13 > 0:15:15emphasises that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
0:15:15 > 0:15:24And the toughest talks are still to come.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27This is not the end, but it is the end of the beginning.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29And we will remain fully engaged and vigilant throughout phase two,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32the drafting and ratification of the new treaties that will be
0:15:32 > 0:15:34required between the EU and the UK, and their implementation.
0:15:34 > 0:15:42So how has the benchmark of sufficient progress been reached?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Well, on the Irish border, the hope is that a future free
0:15:45 > 0:15:47trade agreement will mean many of the concerns about a hard
0:15:47 > 0:15:48border simply melt away.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53But as a backstop, if all else fails, the UK has promised
0:15:53 > 0:15:55to maintain full alignment with EU single market and customs rules that
0:15:55 > 0:16:00govern trade across the border.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Exactly how that will be done isn't entirely clear,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04but you certainly can't have partial membership of the single market
0:16:04 > 0:16:08and the customs union.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10On citizens' rights, it's been agreed that the cut-off date
0:16:10 > 0:16:14for an agreement on the rights of EU citizens in the UK, and UK citizens
0:16:14 > 0:16:17elsewhere in the EU, will be the day Brexit actually happens.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22In other words, some people yet to arrive could still qualify.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25There will also be a potential role for the European Court of Justice,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29directly for eight years and indirectly thereafter.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32The number of legal cases it's likely to cover is very small,
0:16:32 > 0:16:36but some Brexiteers won't be entirely happy.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Nor are some campaigners for citizens' rights,
0:16:38 > 0:16:43because many details have yet to be resolved.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46And then there's the financial settlement, the divorce bill.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47A method for calculating it has been agreed.
0:16:47 > 0:16:53It will be paid in euros.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55But technical negotiations will continue on various aspects,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57including when and how the money gets paid.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59How much is the final amount likely to be?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02We'll probably never know for sure, but UK sources say the equivalent
0:17:02 > 0:17:04of up to £40 billion.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09While some EU sources still think it will be higher.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11And this is only phase one.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Formal talks about the outlines of a future relationship on trade,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17security and so on haven't yet started.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21The next priority will be to agree upon the terms of a transition
0:17:21 > 0:17:25period for about two years after Brexit.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28The EU says it means the UK staying in the single market
0:17:28 > 0:17:29and the customs union.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32The government says that's not how it understands it at all.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37It is very clear that more challenging negotiation lies ahead.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Chris Morris, BBC News.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44With me is Oliver Norgrove, a political commentator who worked
0:17:44 > 0:17:52for the Vote Leave campaign.
0:17:52 > 0:17:59What did you make of the compromises in today's deal?I am encouraged
0:17:59 > 0:18:03that we have progress, especially given the time frame, but ultimately
0:18:03 > 0:18:08we swallowed it a lot. I think on the Irish border, what we see now is
0:18:08 > 0:18:16that if we cannot agree to any specific solutions, we will have to
0:18:16 > 0:18:20remain fully aligned to the rules of the single market and Customs union.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25I don't think we look particularly strong. I think some of these
0:18:25 > 0:18:31concessions will have been inevitable.Exactly. Some of these
0:18:31 > 0:18:35concessions, if Theresa May hasn't agreed to them, would we not have
0:18:35 > 0:18:40been in for a very hard Brexit indeed?I think we would then have
0:18:40 > 0:18:44crashed out with a no deal, because they have approached this with an
0:18:44 > 0:18:52unrealistic mindset. I think one of the main problems with our approach
0:18:52 > 0:18:54to negotiations is a mistaken belief that it is within the interest of
0:18:54 > 0:19:03the EU to offer us a good trade deal. That is why we have struggled
0:19:03 > 0:19:07and been forced into position where we have had to make so many
0:19:07 > 0:19:11concessions.Really what do you think of the idea that nothing is
0:19:11 > 0:19:17agreed until everything is agreed? Keep this all still fall apart?It
0:19:17 > 0:19:23could, yes. I try not to get too bogged down with slogans, but phase
0:19:23 > 0:19:29two will be difficult. We haven't got to VAT, agriculture. I think
0:19:29 > 0:19:36some of the difficult things will be about how to avoid customs posts on
0:19:36 > 0:19:40the Irish border. We are not there yet and there are a number of
0:19:40 > 0:19:45challenges and bumps along the way. What would you say to those who
0:19:45 > 0:19:51voted remain?I think they will be vindicated by it, because I think
0:19:51 > 0:19:55some of their warnings about the balance of power in these
0:19:55 > 0:20:00negotiations have come true. The EU is in a much stronger position by
0:20:00 > 0:20:03default, because it cannot undermine the integrity of its institutions.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08If you look at Article 50, there is nothing about leaving with the trade
0:20:08 > 0:20:11agreement. We are forced to talk about the future relationship, but
0:20:11 > 0:20:15we only leave with a withdrawal agreement. We were never going to
0:20:15 > 0:20:22leave any strong position. Remainders will feel vindicated.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Keyword Freddie Read campaign, but you have softened your position
0:20:25 > 0:20:32briefly, can you tell us why? -- you've worked for the vote Leave
0:20:32 > 0:20:41campaign.I think it helps us to protect our own constitutional
0:20:41 > 0:20:45integrity because it allows all of the United Kingdom to leave the EU
0:20:45 > 0:20:51on the same terms...And that was not part of the leave campaign? You
0:20:51 > 0:20:58can still support that?My own view has always been that vote leave had
0:20:58 > 0:21:01a different position on the single market. Our campaign material and
0:21:01 > 0:21:08messaging was also more geared towards constructive ambiguity. I
0:21:08 > 0:21:13don't think the mandate is threatened by doing so.We will
0:21:13 > 0:21:16leave it there. Thank you very much.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Let's return to the issue of Jerusalem - soon
0:21:18 > 0:21:21after Donald Trump declared that the US would recognise the city
0:21:21 > 0:21:23as Israel's capital he was met with a wave of condemnation -
0:21:23 > 0:21:26not just from across the muslim world, but also from many
0:21:26 > 0:21:35traditional allies.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36traditional allies.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38The UN Security Council had been discussing the issue
0:21:38 > 0:21:39over the last few hours.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41The Palestinian Ambassador to the UN has urged
0:21:41 > 0:21:48the organisation to intervene.
0:21:48 > 0:21:55Come before the council today to urge the council to uphold its
0:21:55 > 0:22:00resolutions in light of the provocations against Jerusalem's
0:22:00 > 0:22:06legal, political and historic status and the Palestinian people's rights
0:22:06 > 0:22:10and legitimate national aspirations.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Also speaking at the UN security council, Nikki Hayley,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15the US's ambassador to the UN, said Donald Trump did the obvious
0:22:15 > 0:22:17by recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
0:22:17 > 0:22:20but insisted that he had left the specific dimensions of Jerusalem
0:22:20 > 0:22:21to Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23The President has announced that the United States
0:22:23 > 0:22:24recognises the obvious, that Jerusalem is
0:22:24 > 0:22:25the capital of Israel.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27He has also instructed the State Department to begin
0:22:27 > 0:22:30the process of relocating the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32That is what the president has done.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34And this is what he has not done.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38The United States has not taken a position on boundaries or borders.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39The specific dimensions of sovereignty over Jerusalem
0:22:39 > 0:22:45are still to be decided by the Israelis and the
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Palestinians in negotiations.
0:22:49 > 0:22:55Nada Tawfik is at the UN headquarters in New York.
0:22:55 > 0:23:02Thank you for joining us. How were those comments received? She said
0:23:02 > 0:23:07the US still had credibility as a mediator with the route to attack
0:23:07 > 0:23:17Israelis and Palestinians.-- with the Israelis and Palestinians. Two
0:23:17 > 0:23:24of the US's allies on the council, the UK and France, they disagreed
0:23:24 > 0:23:28with the United States and believed it was in contradiction of the seven
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Security Council resolutions. After the meeting, you had the European
0:23:32 > 0:23:36members of the Security Council, how to again said he disagreed with the
0:23:36 > 0:23:42united States, the disagreed with her assertion that this doesn't
0:23:42 > 0:23:45violate international law and those Security Council resolutions, and
0:23:45 > 0:23:49basically said it is time for the United States to opine exactly what
0:23:49 > 0:23:54their peace process is, what the details of their plan is now. That
0:23:54 > 0:23:57was echoed by other members of the Security Council, like the Russian
0:23:57 > 0:24:03ambassador. The French ambassador said this undermines the ability of
0:24:03 > 0:24:06the Security Council. The United States was very isolated in this
0:24:06 > 0:24:11meeting this afternoon.Strong words today at the UN, but word does this
0:24:11 > 0:24:17leave us now?It's important to remember the United States has a
0:24:17 > 0:24:22veto power on the Security Council and so we didn't have anyone try to
0:24:22 > 0:24:25propose a resolution or a statement out of the Security Council. The
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Palestinian ambassador did say to reporters that after Arab ministers
0:24:30 > 0:24:35meet at the organisation for Islamic Corporation meeting that he will
0:24:35 > 0:24:39come back and request the Security Council act on that, but again, it
0:24:39 > 0:24:43would be a largely symbolic move and gesture because the United States
0:24:43 > 0:24:49could veto any move and product they bid for word. -- papered forehead.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Don't forget, you can get in touch with me and some
0:24:52 > 0:24:54of the team on Twitter - I'm @celiahatton.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56That's all from us for an hour.
0:24:56 > 0:24:56That's all from us for an hour.
