The annual award goes to the person or idea that has had the biggest impact on the world for better or worse. So who would you choose, and why . Just use the hashtag bbcthebriefing. We start the programme with us President Donald Trump, who is expected to make an announcement today that could endanger his efforts to broker middle east peace. Senior Administration Officials say he will recognisejerusalem as the capital of israel and direct the state department to begin the process of moving the us embassy there from tel aviv. The decision would break with decades of us policy as well as the International Consensus on the status of jerusalem. Arab leaders have strongly warned it could fuel violence. Peter bowes reports. Donald trump is venturing into uncharted territory. The president will recognise jerusalem uncharted territory. The president will recognisejerusalem as the capital of israel, making the United States the first country to do so since the foundation of the state in 1948. He has already indicated he intends to move the American Embassy tojerusalem from tel aviv, and he has informed regional leaders of his plans. Jerusalem holds a very special place in the arab narrative. It is revered by the palestinians. So what is meant as a symbolic move by washington, fulfilling a Campaign Promise for donald trump, could be very disruptive on the ground. It could also deliver an early death blow to his peace plan. The reaction has been heated. Palestinian leader mahmoud bus has warned of dangerous consequences for the peace, security and stability of the region and of the world. Mahmoud abbas. Jordans King Abdullah said the decision would undermine efforts to renew the Peace Process and revoke muslims. Saudi Arabias King Salman told mr trump the relocation of the embassy or the recognition of jerusalem as israels capital would constitute a flagrant provocation of muslims all over the world. The status ofjerusalem muslims all over the world. The status of jerusalem goes muslims all over the world. The status ofjerusalem goes to the heart of israels conflict with the palestinians. Political observers say the president is treading a fine line between acknowledging a historic reality and alienating palestinians. The concern is, how do you do this in a way that you do not prejudge the sovereignty of the eastern part of the city . And here, i think that is the fine line he has to walk, which is to acknowledge the historic reality about the western pa rt historic reality about the western part of the city, but make clear he doesnt want to put his thumb on the scale and prejudge the outcome of these negotiations between israel and the power simians. Peace negotiations. The palestinians. Israels intelligence minister says the country is preparing for every option, including an out wreck of violence. Us citizens have been warned by the state department to ignore areas with crowds. And later in the programme we will be discussing that in more detail with a middle east expert. That is coming up in a few minutes. The International Olympic committee has announced that its banning russia from competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics. Some russian athletes who can prove they are clean will be allowed to compete in south korea under a neutralflag. It follows an investigation into allegations of state sponsored doping at the 2014 games hosted by russia in sochi. Andrew plant reports. The ski slopes of south korea, where some athletes have already been practising for the 2018 Winter Olympics. But it is now clear that one of the competitions most successful countries will not be here next year. It has taken almost four years, but now, a sporting superpower has paid the price for sabotaging its own olympics. Russia ruled at sochi in 2014, but behind the scenes, it was cheating on a scale never seen before. Now, after a 17 month investigation, the International Olympic committee has decided on an unprecedented punishment russia is banned. The report clearly lays out an unprecedented attack on the integrity of the Olympic Games and sport. As an athlete myself, im feeling very sorry for all the clean athletes, from all nocs, who are suffering from this manipulation. The scandal has seen a rewrite of sporting history. Russia topped the medal table in sochi, but after the retesting of samples, a host of athletes have been stripped of their medals. Russias cheating was exposed by the former head of moscows anti doping lab, dr grigory rodchenkov, who alleged an elaborate, state sponsored conspiracy that benefited 1,000 athletes across 30 sports. There is still a way for russian athletes to compete. If they can prove they are clean, they will be allowed to take part in next years games, but only as neutrals, and without a russian flag or National Anthem being played. Taking a country as powerful as russia and saying you cant compete is a significant penalty. It shows that russia, and other countries who break the rules in this kind of a pervasive way, need to be held accountable. And so, from that perspective, i think it was a step that will help march us towards reform. Russian politicians have called the ban an insult. Last week, the countrys olympians unveiled their kit for the winter games. Now, they know they wont be wearing it. Clean athletes could still compete. But will president putin allow them to, or will he force a National Boycott . He is expected to give his reaction in public on wednesday. Lets brief you on some of the other stories making the news. Three men have been charged with the murder of maltese investigative journalist and blogger daphne ca ruana galizia. Ms caruana galizia, who was known for her blog accusing top politicians of corruption, was killed in a car bomb attack in october. The three men accused of killing her were arrested on monday and have pleaded not guilty. Christine keeler, the former model whose relationships with a british minister and a soviet diplomat in the 1960s caused one of the most notorious political scandals of the cold war, has died aged 75. As a teenager she had an affair withjohn profumo, a senior cabinet member. She was also seeing a kgb spy. Profumo lied to parliament about the relationship and was forced to resign. The african born artist Lubaina Himid has been awarded the prestigious 2017 turner prize.

In Business Briefing in 20 minutes well be focusing on a decision which Europe Top Court is due to make shortly, and that could have wide ranging consequences for online shopping. The European Court ofjustice will rule on whether Luxury Brands can stop retailers from selling their products on Online Marketplaces such as amazon and ebay. Stephanie hare is here, principle director of accenture research. Nice to see you. This is an interesting one, a battle which has been going on for ten years . Yes. It is about competition versus brand control. We have to think about who the potential winners and losers are in this court case. Will it be consumers, who will not necessarily have as much choice, if luxury goods are able to stop online retailers from selling their Products Online . Whereas for the Brand Companies themselves, they want to protect their brands and have control over who can sell and distribute their goods. You can understand both sides of the argument. You can understand why, for example, lvmh wouldnt want their goods sold on ebay for half their goods sold on ebay for half the price. Exactly. So much about the price. Exactly. So much about the Luxury Goods Market in particular, it is about exclusivity and perception. If you have put all this effort into marketing your goods to be really expensive and niche committed and have them available, potentially being sold next to products which are maybe not in the same categoric, that is going to undermine your message. The European Court of justice to undermine your message. The European Court ofjustice will make its decision later today. That will have quite wide reaching consequences. I wonder if the Luxury Goods Markets may sort of look at what europe decides, and if it goes in theirfavour, what europe decides, and if it goes in their favour, they may look for similar rulings elsewhere. And thats it, this grey area, this grey market, it is worth several billion dollars every year. There is a to play for. It is a question of control and who gets to sell your product in your relationship with your customers. This is something we are seeing would cost with Companies Going forward. There is a lot to play for still. Stephanie, thank you. Have a think about your personal idea of 2017 as well. Person of the year idea for 2017. We are asking for your viewpoint on that, who the concept or idea for 2017. That, who the concept or idea for 2017. Person or concept or idea.

Here are the headlines russia is banned from next years Winter Olympics in south korea after a report uncovered systematic state sponsored doping. And our lead story the white house says President Trump will recognise jerusalem as the capital of israel arab leaders warn it could provoke violence. Lets stay with us story now. Oren kessler is a washington based a nalyst kessler is a washington based analyst and journalist and former middle east Affairs Correspondent for thejerusalem middle east Affairs Correspondent for the jerusalem post. Middle east Affairs Correspondent for thejerusalem post. What would your concern be if that would happen . I think the real concern is the threat of violence on the streets of the west bank and jerusalem and israel. You know, just this summer, when israel installed metal detectors on temple mount, we saw several days of violence that led to several people losing their lives. That is an immediate scenario that we are facing now. We have spoken about the various leaders in the middle east to have body said what they think about this and the concern that they have about it, the ramifications. What would he the dramatic fallout . I dont think the diplomatic fallout will be too great. I think of course we have her denunciations from the palestinian leadership and the saudis and other arab leaders. But but the palestinian and israeli leaderships realise that washington is really sort of the only game in town in terms of mediation. The french have tried to work as mediators in the past and has not worked. I think the palestinian leadership realises that, for now, at least, donald trump is the president of the United States and many to work with him, even when he makes decisions i guess one, that they turn up pleased with. Going forward, what could this mean for the middle east Peace Process . Bullets at that process back . That process has been stagnant for several years. I think if we are looking at it honestly, that is. They have not been serious middle east talks since 2013, 2014, so there is not really that much it is difficult to go backwards at this point. The only way to go is forwards. Whether this move will help, iam forwards. Whether this move will help, i am sceptical. It will certainly earn goodwill from the israelis, but whether it will actually set the Peace Process back in motion, i am very doubtful of that. But his wording in an announcement that we are expecting today will be important, why did . You make indeed. I think one way in which donald trump can maintain some modicum of goodwill, albeit grudgingly, from the palestinian side, is to not declare to rose on them as the internal and undivided capital, as the Israeli Government often does, but rather to, yes, recognise jerusalem as often does, but rather to, yes, recognisejerusalem as the capital, but really to leave out the keywords, and thereby, you know, undivided, a total, et cetera. And thereby leave the palestinians the option of having a capital at least somewhere in East Jerusalem option of having a capital at least somewhere in eastjerusalem in the future. All right, thank you for your analysis. Interesting to get your analysis. Interesting to get your perspective on this. Heres our briefing on some of the key events happening later. We start in brussels where the eus chief brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier will update the European Commission on progress of the uk withdrawal. At about midday gmt, Time Magazine will announce its person of the year. Us President Donald Trump has made the shortlist after claiming to have taken a pass on an interview for the edition. And later on in washington donald trumer will appear before the us house intelligence committee, which is investigating links between his fathers Election Campaign and russia. So pretty heavy agenda, as usual, as i would expect is the case for any president of the United States. Weve had a few of you get in touch. So from portsmouth says that probably the person of the year will be somebody to upset donald trump, as his twitter rebuttal will spark publicity. Also the hashtag metoo as an idea on that list is various wall. On to the cricket, now. And on the final day of the second ashes test, englands hopes of pulling off an unexpected victory are in tatters. They started the day requiring another 178 runs with six wickets remaining. However wickets tumbled from the start and chasing 354 for victory, a few moments ago england were 224 for nine. Now with the rest of the sport lets cross now to the bbc sports centre. Hello, there. Im Tulsen Tollett. And coming up on your wednesday sport briefing, liverpool look to seal their place inthe least 16 of the Champions League, the Cleveland Cavaliers aim for a record equaling 13th win in a row in the nba and usain bolt has a stue of himself unveiled in jamaica, eventually. The last 16 of the Champions League will be decided on wednesday evening across europe, after the final round of group games. Theres still plenty to play for with three groups yet to be decided. After blowing a 3 0 lead to draw with sevilla last time, liverpool need a point at home to Spartak Moscow to seal their qualification. The atmosphere can and should help us the atmosphere can and should help us tomorrow. We all know how special the space can be. In specific moments. That is what i am looking for. That is what they want. That is what hopefully everybody knows. Thatis what hopefully everybody knows. That is what i want. Premier League LeadersManchester City have already made it through to the knockout stages, but theyll be looking to complete a Perfect Group record when they travel to shakhtar donetsk. City have won all of their matches in europe so far and are still undefeated in the premier league. It was a nice number. There are a lot of games in that competition. Hopefully, we can enjoy this competition for longer, and be managing fought much more games, and i think it is not necessary to compare what you have done in the past in terms of facing bayern munich. Theres another big night of basketball in the nba on wednesday. All eyes will be on lebronjames and the Cleveland Cavaliers as they look to tie their record winning streak. Theyre hoping for a 13th straight win when they host the sacramento kings. While the cavs are second in the eastern conference, its not been a memorable season so farfor the kings. Theyre 14th in the western conference with just seven wins from their 23 games and lost their last game at the milwaukee bucks. Atletico madrid whove played in two of the last four Champions League finals wont be competing in the knockout stages this year after failing to progress from their group. Diego simeones side drew 1 1 with chelsea in london meaning theyll drop into the Europa League while roma moved through with the Stamford Bridge outfit. Manchester united needed to come from a goal down to win 2 1 at home to cska moscow. Jose mourinhos side required a point in their final match to guarantee top spot but Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford strikes handed them all three points. Iam i am really happy, because we dont wa nt to i am really happy, because we dont want to qualify with a defeat. We dont want to qualify with a bad performance. So the objective was to qualify at playing well and try to get at least a positive result. And i think we did that very, very well. This caught our eye on social media usain bolt has unveiled a rather large statue of himself in kingston, jamaica. He described the moment as one of the greatest of his career after the eight time olympic champion hung up his spikes after the world athletics championships in august. It was all easy you might think . Well simply pulling off the drape that covered the statue took as long that it does for bolt to finish a one hundred metre race. Eventually a bit of elbow grease freed the cloth and the statue took pride of place outside jamaicas national stadium. Of course you can get all the latest sports news at our website thats bbc.

And this is the driver of the change, this curl of cloud on the satellite picture, a deep area of low pressure which has been named by the met office, storm caroline. Nothing will happen much on wednesday morning. Feeding in a lot of cloud and some mild air. Temperatures as we start the day, eight, nine, ten across the south west. Expect cloud. The odd patchy rain and drizzle that the 11 degrees for plymouth. Cardiff, similar. Across west wales, starting to turn quite breezy by this stage. The wind picking up in Northern Ireland and this area of wet weather will slide in from the west. Rain settling in across western scotland. Persistent rain in the high ground. Eastern scotland, starting the day dry. And it will be eastern areas that will have the best chance of any brightness through the day. Further west, a lot of cloud and strengthening south westerly winds. Gales in exposed spots in the west in the afternoon. Northern ireland and western scotland in particular, outbreaks of rain. A mild day wherever you are. That will not last. Wednesday night, the wind is strengthening in the west. Outbreaks of rain pushing in from the west as well, as storm caroline swings across the north of the british isles. Notice many isobars tight together. Strong winds with us for thursday. Across scotland, winds of 80 miles per hour, perhaps even stronger. Very strong winds elsewhere as well. Rain clearing away from the south east. Then brighter skies. And then some showers, which will begin to turn wintry over high ground in the north. Thats because things will be turning colder. As we move out of thursday into friday, this is a really wintry looking weather chart. The winds are whistling down from the arctic bringing cold air which will plunge right across the country. There will be some dry weather and sunshine at times. There will also be showers. Most of the showers will be snow showers. They could crop up just about anywhere. Most likely in the west, but also in the far north. And that snow will be right down to low levels. When you add on the strength of the wind, it will feel sub zero across many parts of the country. So, wet and windy weather with storm caroline. Then turning colder. And then we will see some snow showers and some ice. This is Business Briefing. Im sally bundock.
