where the u.s. properly worries about political insecurity issues and on european cohesion more generally. the worst outcome for the u.s. would be if brexit led to a greater, broaderdy didn't gration of the european construction -- broader dedidn't gration of the european construction. as a previous rand european study explored in more detail, in the aftermath of brexit, the political and security struck turs of europe will have to response -- structures of europe will have to respond to ensure our common interest, most likely by strengthening nato-e.u. relationships. to sum up, the overriding message from our study is that it's in the best interest of the u.k. and to a lesser extent the e.u. to achieve some sort of open trading and investment relationship post-brexit. the big challenge for the brexit negotiations around trade are complications of coming up with such an agreement. a common position between the two parties will be difficult. particularly if the two parties adopt the conflicting negot

directly through the u.s. from israel not to even think about it if you recall i mean in the past the e.u. has tried to have a role in the peace negotiations between the two sides but that was immediately limited by the u.s. so certainly you have that push at the moment the palestinian authority feeling that this is the time for them to reach out as much as possible and then when it comes to that specific issue they will have a lot of public support even though the palestinians also point the finger at their own leadership for the state of affairs but when it comes to finding new avenues will finding new reaching out to new countries and finding new ideas on how to eventually have a palestinian state or who they are best will find a lot of backing how the abdel-hamid meeting is the very latest from thank you very much indeed well kerry forces joins us live from west jerusalem i'm hi i'm just keeping an eye because i think the last speaker has just finished so if i going to go for a vote i'm going to be very ru

the u.s. secretary of state spoke extensively about the question of north korea and its nuclear weapons program at an event that was meant to focus just on that very global issue he was speaking in washington on tuesday afternoon and he indicated what many people are interpreting as a big change in u.s. foreign policy the idea that the u.s. is willing to sit down with north korea without preconditions if only to get the conversation started here's what the secretary had to say we've said from the diplomatic side we're ready to talk any time north korea would like to talk and we are ready to have the first meeting without precondition let's just make. unless we talk about the weather if you will talk about whether it's going to be a square table or around table if that's what you're shouting about. but can we at least sit down and she chose her face to face but it's important to note that what rex tillerson was saying does not mean that the u.s. is changing its fundamental position record north

u.s. presidents to visit walter reed and think the men and women for their service. president trump supports the military pledging to rebuild and re-equip u.s. forces. by the president's promises right on republicans and democrats in congress reaching a long-term spending agreement next year. today the white house was urging congress to just keep the government running for the next four weeks with a continuing resolution. >> we want a clean bill clement bill, we hope that that happen soon, because we know that all of you guys and all of congress and everybody else's ready to make sure that the government is fully funded and functional and go home and celebrate christmas. >> the president is anxious to get a continuing resolution on his desk, because he wants to sign tax reform tomorrow before he leaves for his christmas vacation at mar lago, but in order to sign the bill tomorrow the president needed waivers contained in the cr to cut entitlement program. >> it is always a lot of fun when

carsten moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem it has been u.s. policy or goal of the u.s. for decades but it's never been implemented right. basically all the presidents and the clinton have been kicking this can down the road every six months because twenty two years ago the u.s. congress passed a law the jerusalem embassy act which says that. is the capital of israel and that the u.s. embassy should move there now that law gives the president of the united states the chance to postpone the implementation of that law by a six months at a time if it is in the national interest of the security of the united states and that has happened again and again bill clinton and george w. bush and then barack obama have all postponed the implementation of this again and again donald trump also did it one in the summer this year but only grudgingly after he was. supported in this by his advisors and allies of the united states but now he seems to have changed his mind it could be that he declares he wants to the embassy in jerusalem but still postponed the move for six months so legall

who another problem with this is that in the minds of the palestinians and the arabs the u.s. was never really an objective broker in the first place they were always suspected of being very much on the israeli side and this announcement by president trump has confirmed that now in their minds all right we're also hearing that the arab league is due to hold a meeting to discuss this very issue sometime today what can we expect from them. that is a question is what can they possibly do what way do they have over this situation now i mean the u.s. says that they're going to move the embassy and they can move their embassy no matter what statement the arab league puts out and the other problem here is the palestinian cause used to be a uniting cause among the arab nations that used to be the thing that they all fought for together and now a lot of arab nations are dealing with wars such in syria yemen isis economic stagnation there's a whole host of other problems in the palestinian issue and the issue of jerusalem specifically very much fallen down that list so we'll have to see

or the u.s. or both together make a tremendous amount of sense because in general countries trade with those partners who are closest to them. charlie mentioned early we used the gravity model. that is the underlying logic with the gravity model. we looked at soft "brexit" scenarios which we don't have in the calculator. when you look at hard "brexit" scenarios, what about global britain? we took global britain very seriously but we think that,. >> you might describe global britain a little bit, what that means. >> sure. the global britain idea that the uk is now not part of the eu customs union or single market. can do multiple trade deals with any partners it wants. so it can do trade deals with australia, china, any countries in asia, latin america, thus build a free trade network that could be better than its agreement with the e.u. now by doing, bying doing, by modeling uk-u.s. agreement or uk-eu agreement we're showing upper bound. u.s. is 20, 25% of the global economist. the eu is about th

it is based on the structure of the u.s. economy. the u.s. economy has a high federal government deficit, high consumer spending. -- that produces a low savings rate and an automatic current account deficit, the trade deficit being a significant part of that current account deficit. so we have got to realize that hammering away at what country or another country on a trade agreement such as nafta is not going to solve the u.s. trade deficit. it is a red herring. it is something that the united -- forhas had 440, 45 40, 45 years, so it will not be resolved by making a change to nafta. structurally, there has to be a change from and that will be extraordinarily difficult. the thing i worry about the most on this is if we revert to the let's have a trade negotiation where i will hammer you, you will hammer me, and we each try to get a win at the table, the implications or the messaging that this extends to the world trade organization and any future discussions around that table is very negative. we have got to be looking at trade in a positive

the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. despite his announcement, however, president trump, like papast u.s. presidents, signedea waiver that keeps the u.s. embassy in tel aviv. this waiver has been signed by u.s. presidents every six months since 1995. control of jerusalem is one of the most contested issues between israelis and palestinians. the israeli military seized control of east jerusalem in 1967 and has occupied the territory ever since. palestinians, however, have long seen east jerusalem as the capital of their future country. since 1967, the u.n. security council and u.n. general assembly have passed dozens of resolutions calling for israel to end its occupation of east jerusalem. currently, 86 nations have their embassies in tel aviv. no country has an embassy in jerusalem. palestinian president mahmoud abbas said trump's announcement meant the united states had abdicated its role in the middle east peace process. chief palestinian negotiator saeb erekat said -- "president tr

when the u.s. entered world war i, many believed that men like pippin did not belong in uniform, let alone wielding rifles on the front line. i certainly wouldn't be the first person to bring up the of the fact that the united states waged the war with a white supremacist army. racism was baked into all aspects of military life during world war i, from segregated recreational facilities to the violent harassment of blacks in .niforms a post-war study co-authored by diagnoseds african-americans with extraordinarily high rates of hysteria, poor emotional control, and venereal disease. for men like davenport and plenty of others like him, african-americans in their view lack the intelligence and emotional discipline to be effective fighters. instead, lack bodies were suited for one thing, manual labor. that was it. all-black 369th infantry, better known as the harlem health fighters, only saw action when it was put under the command. white troops refused to fight alongside their african-american count

the u.s. charity water aid also appears is the new trump rule they say they now fear for a range of water aid projects in africa and what this might mean and we do expect that women and girls will. i as a result of reduced access to very basic services that they need to survive and thrive like education about why it's important to wash your hands prevent illness and making sure that you have access to water. the net effect of this policy is likely to be three steps backwards and three steps backwards and terms of funding and policy translates into lives. we take to interview a spokesperson from the us administration about the issues raised in this film despite two months of asking nobody was available instead us aid supplied us with a statement it said the policy does not reduce the amount of global health assistance the us government makes available departments and agencies will reprogram to other organizations any funding they would have awarded to n.g.o.s that do not agree to the conditions

when the u.s. entered world war i in 1817 many believed that men like pippin did not belong in uniform. i wouldn't be the first person to bring up the iron any of the fact that the united states fought the war to make the world safe for democracy with a white army. racism was baked into all aspects of military life, to the harassment of blacks in uniform to the race science. a postboard study of draft board data diagnosed african-americans with high rates of hysteria, poor emotional control and ve nar yal disease. for men like davenport and others like him, african-americans lacked the emotional discipline to be fighters. instead they were suited for one thing, manual labor. that was it. and pippin's regiment, the infantry, better known as the harlem hell fighters saw action under french command. white troops refused to fight along their african-american countryman. they were so successful that the entire regiment won a citation for the french government and in february of 1919, a quarter million p

the u.s. decision to recognize to resume as israel's capital has sparked protests around the world here in germany many were shocked after arab demonstrators burned israeli flags in front of berlin's brandenburg gate last week and the gate often served as a backdrop for the nazis but is also a symbol of german reunification the government says it will not tolerate plague burning and the jewish community is calling for tougher laws. was it. there will be renewed protests in berlin on tuesday many here can't understand why don't trump has chosen to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and the palestinians claim east jerusalem as the capital of a future palestinian state and i wonder why there's been so much outrage at the burning of israeli flags. germany it's just about to fly a simple flag what about the people who are born in a refugee camp were born stateless what about them. well says the woman. that is the doesn't serve our cause and we are against anti-semitism and we strongly condemn
