A breakthrough in brics the talks between britain and the European Union in Commission President as all close your current Prime Minister theresa may say the next phase of the negotiations can now finally begin. To be with you demonstrations have been held around the world as anger intensifies over Donald Trumps decision to recognize jerusalem as the undivided capital of israel and Bethlehem Police fired tear gas at people who gathered after friday prayers to protest the u. S. Decision israels government has stepped up security in the country after. Palestinian groups called for a day of rage. While emotions are running high across the border with to get you the latest now. Kramer is in jerusalem and journalist said that the town is in bethlehem want to start off with you said how are people in bethlehem reacting are right now. People are reacting great now theres nothing happening on the ground as youve said after friday prayers there husband reaction there was a small protest if we look at the protests across the country theyve actually been very small compared to the expectancy but id like to point out you said trump recognized jerusalem as the undivided capital of israel which was actually not what he said he said the capital of jerusalem the jews of the capital of israel and i think he worded it very carefully by saying the boundaries will be decided by both parties where actually in terms that everything and said nothing by saying that the doctors will be decided by both parties hes actually leaving but hope to the palestinians of a future capital in East Jerusalem. Well hes not going to mollify but hes not promising the palestinians anything on the timing i want to get to you is the city on high alert to respond where you are. When i think he said it was less tense as expected and also we saw off to friday prayers people came out here where im standing from this is just damascus which is the main gates of the old city in East Jerusalem there were protests there were singing and sometimes also praying again and then police and riot police and special forces moved in and trying to push people out that it came back it was back and forth also tried to speak with horses so it was a bit back and forth but right now about missing there is still a high Police Presence but thats always you know in East Jerusalem and especially at this point here in town and you know people are going back normally into this city here at a mosque a skate and you know theyre Walking Around it is less tense and probably as expected all right the message thats coming through loud and clear after this decision by President Trump is that this isnt about real estate how do people in bethlehem where you are where many christian palestinians live what does to mean for them. Jerusalem means a lot but i would i would say theres a difference between two generations which is important to remember there is a generation that has grown up and lived with drew sloan before the israel these review authorities build the segregation wall and for that generation drew through means not only the religious part whether theyre christian or muslim and the religious to cut from it but also a lot of social and commercial links to jerusalem historically the Younger Generation and thats the worrying generation that has been born after two thousand and two or grown up after two thousand and two has literally never seen jerusalem in jerusalem has become this mythical capital that is a mythical dreamt up dream of trying to do a capital forward for palestine in jerusalem that looks a lot around their imagination but not the reality the older generation for them druce room has always been the center whether youre in bethlehem and ramallah in jericho or even further on to nablus and habra jerusalem has where tanya is right now in damascus gate and further into the new city the palestinian East Jerusalem you city has always been the place where people went to shop where people went to meet and where people had their culture life to dangerous them a lot of the cultural institutions are poorly surviving because theyve been deprived of the link to the rest of the palestinians all right and i want to talk to you in a little bit about bethlehem as well but first to tanya weve seen protests break out in turkey jordan and other nations any word from the israeli leadership what they are planning to do next. You know we didnt hear much meat action to protest i mean what we heard actually the day before is mr netanyahu this really Prime Minister that he is quite confident that also other countries foot follow the lead the u. S. To maybe move also the embassies i mean hes very pleased with this decision and you dont really see that they take into account you know all this criticism coming from all over the world so there were no you know reactions to that yet on whats happening on the ground and other arab countries but of course it will take this into consideration but then you know this month the mood to quite satisfied its within unspent by mr trump and they see that this is where they want to go to have to. Do some s. A couple to off the im going to give you the last word bethlehem where you are is home to the church of nativity many pilgrims will want to Mark Christmas in the holy land where just a couple of weeks away from christmas how concerned are people where you are that things could spiral out of control and you know prevent people from from coming very important revenue for the tourism in that area. Victor reduce is a very important source for bethlehem but also its about the message of that lemon and people coming to celebrate christmas and them is essential to bethlehems survival and what were seeing already in those last two days is a start of cancellations for individuals and groups that are coming to celebrate christmas there has been actually even a faster reaction that weve expected already in the last two days weve seen a lot of cancellations of even domestic tourists that were coming from places like nazareth or haifa and they were planning to spend the weekend in beslan because bethlehem is already two to receive its pilgrims without the christmas lighting for the for the Christmas Tree lighting on the second of december which is quite a big event the presence of the palestinian Prime Minister and no better looks sad and empty hopefully this wave will not have more repercussions and people will still come for christmas to better our eye to for the good time in bethlehem and tanya kramer and jerusalem thank you both you are right and i want to tell you now about some of the other stories that were covering for you right now.

All right now staying with the theme of the e. U. The European Union and britain have reached an agreement on briggs it which means they can now progress to the next round of talks u. K. Prime minister to resign may and european Commission President john claude younger said theyd agreed on key issues such as rights for citizens in the u. K. And guaranteeing no hard border between north and ireland and the republic of ireland now then move on to negotiations about future trade relations. Both sides are calling it a breakfast breakthrough capping off a week of drama parties Prime Ministers to resume a arrived early at the European Commission gold saving the talks on how countries exit from the e. U. A short meeting with european Commission President include hugo followed and then the two emerged to make the big announcement. Usable. Fairly poor. Weve been able to make sufficient progress to ensure that we can now move into the second phase of the negotiation between the United Kingdom and the European Union of twenty seven of them so it. May and june can say theres been progress on a major stumbling block how to manage the featured border between the u. K. s Northern Ireland and the ease republic of ireland has been a particularly tricky subject many fear a hard border separating the two with Border Guards could plunge the north back into turmoil by undermining the belfast agreement it ended decades of sectarian violence in the region. In Northern Ireland we will guarantee there will be no hard border and we will uphold the belfast agreement and in doing so we will continue to pursue the constitutional and economic integrity of the United Kingdom. But e. U. Chief brechts negotiator Michel Barnier says so sing out the stone the issue will need special talks to citizens. In Northern Irelands Democratic Unionist Party has stood in the way of an agreement so far that support is vital to mays minority government and even now theyre not satisfied with whats been agreed so far. But the talks can still proceed from here thats the e. U. Leaders signed off on the deal a Council Summit next week are lets get you more now from our correspondent in brussels a modest whos reporting on this story extensively both sides are saying this as a breakthrough was actually chafe since monday. Well if we look at the key subject here the question of a hard border or the regulatory alignment that is apparently guaranteed now by the british side in case there is no better deal after breakfast on the table nothing much has changed and the real difference here is now that the unionists in Northern Ireland so the party who are the part of the party that is propping up trees that mace government that they are they can at least can live with what is now presented in brussels and that is because no hard border in the irish sea has been guaranteed to them apparently and that is interesting because when you think about how this problem could be solved you have now a promise on one side no hard border in the in in inside ireland between the republic of ireland Northern Ireland and no hard border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the u. K. And of course that is not a solution its kicking the can down the road so where do things go from here. Now the next step now is now that this recommendation has been presented by the commission it needs to be approved by the member twenty seven Member States and that will happen next week on an e. U. Summit now once that is the case we can then move on to talking at least about a framework off of a possible trade deal and the real crucial issue here the e. U. Negotiator michel bunny today presented and he said in order to do that successfully what he needs is more clarity from the u. K. So far he has seen a lot of red lines things the u. K. Does not want in the future he needs to know what they do want because he says when you bring the red lines in line with the models that the e. U. Has with other non even Member States who are still part of the internal market so norway switzerland even south korea has a deal with the e. U. If you bring that in line theres only one model on the table left and thats a free trade deal Something Like canada has a so theres still a lot of uncertainty about the next phase period is supposed to bridge that but what would that look like a arc the new diplomats told me this morning that they have a very clear picture of the transition period and theres not a lot of not a lot of room for debating here he says directly what would happen in march two thousand one thousand as you freeze the current status of the u. K. In the e. U. They will not no longer be represented but they will remain part of the e. U. And so basically they will have no more say in the decisions but they will still apply so practically the u. K. Would become a law taker not a no longer a lawmaker in the e. U. So it would still be in the internal market so practically you would have a model that norway has at the moment and very briefly so their most important summit is taking place next week thats when everything will be decided. Thats correct and next week is crunch time thats when we get the official seal for this last minute breakthrough deal we wait with bated breath thank you so very much reporting from brussels all right now you out today thank you so much for spending this part of who they were this will be back at the top of the alice.
