0:00:09 > 0:00:12of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13The Israeli Prime Minister says Palestinians have
0:00:13 > 0:00:21to accept the decision.
0:00:21 > 0:00:26I think the sooner the Palestinians come to grips with this reality, the
0:00:26 > 0:00:28sooner we move towards peace.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Britain's Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson leaves Iran
0:00:30 > 0:00:32without agreement on the release of the dual national

0:00:34 > 0:00:37he thinks there may now be more chance of her being
0:00:37 > 0:00:43home for Christmas.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48I've got reasonable hopes. It feels to me that I can see light at the
0:00:48 > 0:00:52end of the tunnel. I just don't know how long the tunnel is.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Heavy snow fall causes disruption across much of the UK,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58bringing problems on the roads, railways and at airports.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Hello and welcome to World News Today.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11There have been more protests in the Arab and Muslim world
0:01:11 > 0:01:13against President Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem
0:01:13 > 0:01:15as the capital of Israel.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Violence flared near the US embassy in Beirut, and thousands gathered
0:01:19 > 0:01:23to express their anger in the Moroccan capital Rabat,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26as well as in Cairo and Istanbul.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30It comes as US Vice President Mike Pence strongly criticised
0:01:30 > 0:01:34the Palestinian Authority, saying it was "unfortunate" that
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was declining to meet Mr Pence
0:01:36 > 0:01:39on his forthcoming trip to the region.
0:01:39 > 0:01:48With the latest, here's Sebastian Usher.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Tear gas was fired into a crowd of around 1000 protesters in Beirut as
0:01:53 > 0:01:59they tried to reach the US Embassy this morning. Effigies of President
0:01:59 > 0:02:05Trump and US flags were burned by angry groups of Palestinian refugees
0:02:05 > 0:02:10and Lebanese activists. We are here to tell the US embassy, the Embassy
0:02:10 > 0:02:15of the aggressor, that Jerusalem is Arab, was Arab and it will stay
0:02:15 > 0:02:20Arab, this man says. Large rallies have been held in the Moroccan
0:02:20 > 0:02:28capital, Rabatts. And in Cairo too. Protesters tried to build momentum
0:02:28 > 0:02:33across the region against President Trump's decision. In Istanbul,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37thousands turned out to hear President Erdogan launched a
0:02:37 > 0:02:41blistering attack on President Trump and Israel.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46TRANSLATION:Israel is a terrorist state. We will not abandon Jerusalem
0:02:46 > 0:02:51to the mercy of a state that kills children.That lent him a fierce
0:02:51 > 0:02:57riposte from the Israeli Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, who
0:02:57 > 0:03:01said he wasn't used to receiving lessons from morality on a leader
0:03:01 > 0:03:08who bombs Kurdish villages. He also had a message on Jerusalem.It has
0:03:08 > 0:03:12always been our capital. The sooner the Palestinians come to grips with
0:03:12 > 0:03:17this reality, the sooner we move towards peaceful is white as clashes
0:03:17 > 0:03:22again broke out near the fence between Gaza and Israel, many fear
0:03:22 > 0:03:26that President Trump's move will reignite violence.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28To discuss the reaction that we've seen to President Trump's
0:03:28 > 0:03:30announcement and what the consequences for
0:03:30 > 0:03:32the region might be, I'm joined by Khaled El Gindy,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34a fellow at the Brookings Institution and a former advisor
0:03:35 > 0:03:38to the Palestinian leadership.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Thanks for joining us. Would it not be better for the Palestinian
0:03:42 > 0:03:49leaders to meet the Vice President of the United States now?Clearly
0:03:49 > 0:03:54they have calculated that it's not better for them. I think the
0:03:54 > 0:03:58calculation probably goes something like this - if they meet with the
0:03:58 > 0:04:04Vice President, they will be very negatively received back home, and
0:04:04 > 0:04:06probably thoroughly discredited, even more so than they are in the
0:04:06 > 0:04:12eyes of their people. If they do go back and meet with the Vice
0:04:12 > 0:04:18President, or re-engage in an American led peace process, they
0:04:18 > 0:04:24probably have very, very little to gain in terms of a future
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Palestinian state or some kind of credible peace agreement. Since we
0:04:28 > 0:04:36have some idea as to what is in the Trump peace initiative.That are the
0:04:36 > 0:04:40hopes of president Abbas really dashed now? Some are saying the two
0:04:40 > 0:04:46state peace solution, that there is no hope for that, that we are
0:04:46 > 0:04:53looking at a one state solution in many quarters?That is certainly the
0:04:53 > 0:04:58view among younger Palestinians, which is why this is such a huge
0:04:58 > 0:05:06blow to our bass's leadership. They are a generation who have staked
0:05:06 > 0:05:12their political future and their credibility for more than 25 years
0:05:12 > 0:05:16on a 2-state solution. And not only on that, but on an American peace
0:05:16 > 0:05:25process that will get us there. So that US led peace process has been
0:05:25 > 0:05:30discredited, even in the eyes of Mahmud Abbas, who was its main
0:05:30 > 0:05:36champion up until a few days ago. World this effectively promote a
0:05:36 > 0:05:39different set of leaders with more extreme views within the
0:05:39 > 0:05:48Palestinians now?It is possible. There is a real leadership vacuum in
0:05:48 > 0:05:54the Palestinian national movement. Both of the two main factions, Hamas
0:05:54 > 0:05:59on the one hand, and Fatah of President Abbas on the other, seem
0:05:59 > 0:06:04to have failed in their respective programmes. There doesn't seem to be
0:06:04 > 0:06:10an alternative at this moment. So we are likely to see a lot of
0:06:10 > 0:06:17introspection happening over the next several years.And what do you
0:06:17 > 0:06:21make of the response in the Arab states and the Muslim world in
0:06:21 > 0:06:26general? Is there a real commitment to the Palestinian cause, or is it
0:06:26 > 0:06:31just rhetorical? The Saudi US link is strong under President Trump.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36It's fair to say there is a rhetorical commitment to the
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Palestinian cause among Arab leaders, but there are reasons why
0:06:39 > 0:06:46they have to at least be seen to be supportive of the Palestinians, and
0:06:46 > 0:06:51that is because it's an issue that resonates very deeply with Arab
0:06:51 > 0:06:57people across the region, regardless of sex or religion, and even beyond
0:06:57 > 0:07:13the Arab world, as we have seen in many capitals around the world. --
0:07:13 > 0:07:19regardless of Qatar or religion. They have to to at least be seen to
0:07:19 > 0:07:27be serious on this issue, but because their people care very much
0:07:27 > 0:07:32about it, I think the premise of your question is correct. They are
0:07:32 > 0:07:38not going to sacrifice the relationship with the United States,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41or possibly whatever relations particular states may have with
0:07:41 > 0:07:47Israel.Thank you for joining us. Thank you.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49The family of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe says a court
0:07:49 > 0:07:51appearance scheduled for today has been postponed following a visit
0:07:51 > 0:07:53to Iran by the British Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56But the court denies that a trial was planned.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59The British-Iranian woman is serving a five-year jail sentence in Tehran.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Mr Johnson met the Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani earlier
0:08:01 > 0:08:04today where it's believed he pressed for her release.
0:08:04 > 0:08:12Our Diplomatic Correspondent James Robbins reports.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Boris Johnson spent nearly an hour with Iran's president.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17That access itself seen as a good sign as
0:08:17 > 0:08:18improving relations.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19The Foreign Office says both sides spoke
0:08:19 > 0:08:21forthrightly about obstacles in the relationship
0:08:21 > 0:08:24and the need to make progress.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Boris Johnson raised the case of dual nationals in Iranian
0:08:26 > 0:08:30prisons, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliff.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36The Foreign Secretary met some of her family in Tehran.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39In London, her husband Richard is much happier, showing me
0:08:39 > 0:08:43pictures of his Iranian family, and delighted by the fact she didn't
0:08:43 > 0:08:46have to face a possible court appearance.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49He told me about the family meeting with Boris Johnson.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52The Foreign Secretary also met with Nazanin's father
0:08:52 > 0:08:56and had a long chat with him, talked and said,
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I have raised her case with everyone I have met.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I'll keep worrying and battling for her.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Don't worry, we will do what we can.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10They came away pretty hopeful.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13If there has been progress, where might
0:09:13 > 0:09:15it have been made?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17The Foreign Secretary has been careful to say
0:09:17 > 0:09:19nothing publicly while in Iran.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22But a Foreign Office statement says the
0:09:22 > 0:09:24two sides discussed the full range of issues, including banking matters
0:09:24 > 0:09:30and concerns about the consular cases of dual nationals.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Those banking matters include two major Iranian grievances.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38One, that no UK bank will open an account for Iran's
0:09:38 > 0:09:40embassy in London,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43fearful it could put them in trouble with US authorities.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45There are signs that could be sorted soon.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Second, the Iranians want Britain to pay
0:09:48 > 0:09:51a long-standing debt of around £400 million.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55A way to do that without breaching sanctions looks closer.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Both sides say these issues are not linked
0:09:57 > 0:10:01to prisoner releases, but giving one side something
0:10:01 > 0:10:07it wants often helps the other to give in return.
0:10:07 > 0:10:14One gift to Britain would be the reunion of Nazanin
0:10:14 > 0:10:16with her three-year-old daughter, seen here just before her arrest
0:10:16 > 0:10:17in April last year.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19The family is feeling much more positive.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21The Foreign Office delegation left Iran sensing both
0:10:21 > 0:10:23sides wanted to resolve the difficult issues
0:10:23 > 0:10:33in the relationship.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Later in the programme we will be hearing more from Richard Ratcliffe,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47who came in and told me his hopes going forward.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Heavy snowfall across much of the UK is causing
0:10:49 > 0:10:52disruption on the roads, to air travel, and on the railways.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Hundreds of flights have been cancelled or delayed
0:10:54 > 0:10:56at a number of airports, while some roads are described
0:10:56 > 0:10:58as hazardous, with the police warning motorists to travel
0:10:58 > 0:10:59only if absolutely necessary.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Meteorologists say it's the heaviest snowfall to hit the affected
0:11:02 > 0:11:05areas in four years, as Richard Lister reports.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Much of Britain looked like a Christmas card today.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Scotland and northern England had been expecting snow,
0:11:12 > 0:11:18but this was Buckinghamshire, and it wasn't pretty.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Breakdowns and blizzard conditions on the M25 near Gerard's Cross
0:11:21 > 0:11:25made for slow going.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29On the A34 near Newbury - two stuck lorries, and the southbound
0:11:29 > 0:11:32carriageway had to be closed.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36In Wales, some smaller communities were cut off entirely and thousands
0:11:36 > 0:11:40of people had lost power.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43This is by far the worst I have ever seen.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46It's probably the worst snow I've ever seen, to be honest.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51It's about a foot deep.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54In the Midlands, they had hoped gritters would keep the roads safe,
0:11:54 > 0:11:58but needed snowploughs in Redditch.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01It's been a long day for breakdown services like the RAC,
0:12:01 > 0:12:05which is getting five calls a minute.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06I had problems starting it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11I tried starting it last night and this morning.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16Mark says everything he's dealt with today has been weather-related.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Only travel if you have to.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22If you are going to travel, make sure you have a fully charged
0:12:22 > 0:12:28phone and warm clothing in case you get stuck for hours.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32This car, at least, got going again.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35This is one of an estimated 25,000 breakdowns across the UK today,
0:12:35 > 0:12:3815% more than usual.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Everything from flat batteries to people stuck
0:12:40 > 0:12:44in their drives because of snow.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47It's not just motorists who've been having problems.
0:12:47 > 0:12:5070 flights were cancelled at Heathrow, and Luton and Stansted
0:12:50 > 0:12:53had problems as well.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Unhappy passengers at East Midlands Airport.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59A bit frustrated.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02They could have told us when we checked in
0:13:02 > 0:13:04that the flight was cancelled.
0:13:04 > 0:13:14We've been waiting around for six, seven hours.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19A P&O ferry with 300 passengers on board ran aground
0:13:19 > 0:13:21in Calais due to high winds.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23No one was hurt and it was refloated, but this
0:13:23 > 0:13:25was a day to stay at home.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Listen to me!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Where we live, we never get any snow.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Just sleet.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I like snow because you can make snow angels and snowmen,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35and I find it really fun.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37And maybe do some of this.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40It's been a great day for snowmen, sledging and snowballs,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44but what looks like fun on Sunday afternoon could look very different
0:13:44 > 0:13:47on Monday morning at rush hour.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Gritters are out in force as the roads ice up,
0:13:50 > 0:13:59ready for a difficult day tomorrow.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Stay with us on BBC World News.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Still to come...
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Why the winner of the Nobel Peace Price believes the world could be
0:14:08 > 0:14:14just a moment of panic away from nuclear war.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16The Prince and Princess of Wales are to separate. A statement from
0:15:16 > 0:15:28Buckingham Palace said the decision had been reached amicably.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Protests continue against President Trump's recognition
0:15:31 > 0:15:34of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36The Israeli prime minister says Palestinians have
0:15:36 > 0:15:46to accept the decision as a recognition of reality.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50The British Foreign Minister, Boris Johnson, has left Iran,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53after pressing for the release of imprisoned dual national
0:15:53 > 0:15:59Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
0:15:59 > 0:16:06The British Prime Minister -- the British Foreign Minister has left
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Iran now without any agreement on the release of Nazanin
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Zaghari-Ratcliffe. I have been speaking to Nazanin's husband about
0:16:14 > 0:16:19what he felt about the meeting.I fear it has been a good weekend for
0:16:19 > 0:16:23us. The Foreign Secretary was in Tehran. We were worried because a
0:16:23 > 0:16:27court case was due to happen yesterday, and it didn't happen, and
0:16:27 > 0:16:32it seemed to be as a consequence of him being there and his
0:16:32 > 0:16:39representations to a rainy officials.What does it mean, the
0:16:39 > 0:16:45fact that the court case didn't happen?Formally, the court case was
0:16:45 > 0:16:52postponed, so it could still happen. She has been assessed by medical
0:16:52 > 0:16:56conditions, we have heard, and that she could be released on medical
0:16:56 > 0:17:04grounds, but then we hear that she is being accused of being a spy. We
0:17:04 > 0:17:09have possibilities of good news and bad news, but today we feel that the
0:17:09 > 0:17:13possibility of good news is higher. He was not able to meet Nazanin, but
0:17:13 > 0:17:18he was able to meet her family, so he was able to reassure them that
0:17:18 > 0:17:24everything is done with regard to her case. He was very clear that he
0:17:24 > 0:17:29is doing all he can for her case, and they came away much more
0:17:29 > 0:17:35hopeful.Did he go into specifics? There's been talk of this huge sum
0:17:35 > 0:17:40of money that Britain owes to Iran, and that paying that will help.He
0:17:40 > 0:17:47didn't say that specifically. I am going to meet with the Foreign
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Secretary tomorrow or Tuesday for a full debriefing. He is the Foreign
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Secretary and there's lots of issues between Iran and the UK, involving
0:17:55 > 0:18:00bank accounts and all sorts of things, and no doubt those will have
0:18:00 > 0:18:05been discussed. My concern is Nazanin. His job was to reassure us
0:18:05 > 0:18:12that he is doing all he can.So Boris Johnson went to your in laws'
0:18:12 > 0:18:18house?No, he went to the ambassador 's residence. It was with her father
0:18:18 > 0:18:23and her brother was there to translate. Our daughter had to be
0:18:23 > 0:18:29looked after by our granny.You then spoke to the family. Can you tell us
0:18:29 > 0:18:34more about the meeting and what they felt?They felt quite hopeful. The
0:18:34 > 0:18:39Foreign Secretary didn't give any guarantees. He said, I can't promise
0:18:39 > 0:18:44you the world, but I promise you I am doing my best. They came away
0:18:44 > 0:18:49certain that she was his priority. He spent nearly an hour with
0:18:49 > 0:18:53President Rouhani, but whether that is the right part of the Iranians
0:18:53 > 0:19:03regime and thethe internal politics are very complicated.One of the
0:19:03 > 0:19:07good things about the visit is that he went round lots of different
0:19:07 > 0:19:12parts, meeting with the chair of the National Security Council, with
0:19:12 > 0:19:16people from Parliament, people from the atomic agency. It wasn't just
0:19:16 > 0:19:23the Foreign Ministry. So all of that can help.And you have spoken to
0:19:23 > 0:19:30your wife today?Yes. When I spoke to her in previous times, she was
0:19:30 > 0:19:33obviously quite distraught and we were looking with trepidation at
0:19:33 > 0:19:39this court case. So today, she was just so relieved. Still looking to
0:19:39 > 0:19:44me for reassurances as to whether she would be home for Christmas.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48She's in prison, which is not a great place, but there was a lighter
0:19:48 > 0:19:52tone to have voice.Did she feel upset that Boris Johnson wasn't able
0:19:52 > 0:20:00to see her and has come home without a deal?When I spoke to her he
0:20:00 > 0:20:03hadn't left. Obviously, we were hoping he would be able to see her
0:20:03 > 0:20:09but we were not expecting it. We were dreading the court case, and we
0:20:09 > 0:20:13didn't get that. If we had to choose one thing that didn't happen today,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16it would be no court case.Do you think she is coming home for
0:20:16 > 0:20:23Christmas?I think there is a good chance. The Foreign Secretary, when
0:20:23 > 0:20:29we met him a month ago, was clear that he couldn't make any promises.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33I have a reasonable hopes and it feels I can see light at the end of
0:20:33 > 0:20:37the tunnel.Do you have faith that Boris Johnson is the right person to
0:20:37 > 0:20:43handle this, given his previous error?I was critical of his
0:20:43 > 0:20:46comments before and the consequences they had. The problem was his
0:20:46 > 0:20:51comments were being used by the judiciary, but that now seems to
0:20:51 > 0:20:55have stopped. I asked him to go to Iran, and he's done that. It feels
0:20:55 > 0:21:02like he's on the case and doing what he can, and that's all one can ask.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Richard Radcliffe, whose wife is in Iran still. We will keep you updated
0:21:06 > 0:21:09on that.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Let's get the latest sports news now, with Gavin Ramjaun.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Hello.

0:21:29 > 0:21:37So - do the managers think the title is done and dusted?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Impossible. Of course you have 11 points and you are so happy for
0:21:42 > 0:21:47that, plus the goal difference, but it is not yet. It's just in
0:21:47 > 0:21:52December, so you have a lot of things, a lot of games still to do.
0:21:52 > 0:21:58It's important for our confidence, of course.Probably yes, but I think
0:21:58 > 0:22:08everyone of us, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal, every of us with
0:22:08 > 0:22:15the ambition that probably you feel it a bit damaged because of the
0:22:15 > 0:22:19distance to Manchester City, but I think everybody is going to fight
0:22:19 > 0:22:27for the points every match until mathematically it's impossible.
