Out his plans to move the American Embassy in israel from tel aviv to the city. Its already prompted a heated reaction with arab leaders warning there could be dangerous repercussions. Were joined now by the bbcs north america correspondent peter bowes. A hugely significant moment there is. Why has donald trump chosen to do this and why now . Well, it is not entirely sure why now. It was a Campaign Promise by mr trump to move the American Embassy from tel aviv tojerusalem. The American Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. Perhaps some the American Embassy from tel aviv tojerusalem. Perhaps some domestic politics is playing into this and he wa nts to politics is playing into this and he wants to be seen to be making good on those big Campaign Promises in his first year in office, where perhaps he might have failed on some other issues. To the wider issue in terms of peace and the Peace Process in the region, why now, it is difficult to fully understand without hearing the details of what he has got to say in a few hours time. Certainly the white house and the Trump Administration has been working on a peace plan for the region for many months. We dont know the details. But whyjump in with this extremely contentious move, and it is extremely contentious, it will be certainly reversing us policy for the past several decades, if he were to go ahead and effectively acknowledge thatjerusalem was the capital of israel. We mentioned their potential repercussions, potential violence, certainly reaction already from leaders in the arab world. Yes. A lot of reaction, it has got to be said, negative reaction. In terms of the Peace Process going ahead and the Peace Process going ahead and the us role in that. This would appear to be suggesting that certainly mr trump has taken sides and perhaps makes that negotiation rather more difficult in the future. But when we hear reactions like that from saudi arabias king solomon saying it would be a flagrant provocation of muslims all over the world or the Palestinian Leader saying that it he warned of dangerous consequences that it would have to the Peace Process, peace, security, and stability to the region. And King Abdullah ofjordan sang the decision would undermine effo rts sang the decision would undermine efforts to resume the Peace Process and provoke muslims saline. This reaction before we have actually heard the detail of what mr trump has in mind. Potentially a hugely significant moment. Thank you for your update. 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 competition s most successful countries will not be here next year. It has taken almost four years, but now were 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. 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, i am feeling very sorry for all the clean athletes 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 russias anti doping lab, he alleged an elaborate state sponsored conspiracy that benefited athletes across many 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 yous gains, but only as neutrals and without a russian flag 01 neutrals and without a russian flag or National Anthem being played next yous gains. It shows that russia and other countries, who break the rules in this kind of pervasive way need to be held accountable. From their perspective, i think it was a step that will help 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 may still compete, but will president putin allow them to or will he force a National Boycott . Is expected to give his reaction in public on wednesday. Is expected. Jimjoins me now jim joins me now in new york. Thank you for being with us. Your client, the whistleblower, played a huge pa rt the whistleblower, played a huge part in exposing these alleged wrongdoings in russia. What is his reaction today . I think i is in two mines. On the one hand he is gratified that a third agency has validated him. He thinks the punishment was forceful and appropriate. On the other side he is concerned for his family and friends who remain in russia. It is very much that the world comes together to keep watch on any actions the kremlin might use to harm them. He is in the us now. His personal situation, he took a huge amount of risks to expose what he saw as wrongdoing. Russia still deny anything. The Russian Federation really has been through this whole ordeal. The worst enemy of its own athletes. My client is very convinced that if russia had taken a position of integrity from the start, admitted its transgressions, pledged reform and executed a plan of reform, then many russian athletes would be competing in the south korea games in february. The authorities here obviously hoping that with this ban that a line will be drawn under this. I am guessing you and your client do not think that will happen. In some ways, it does not matter what we think. The World Anti Doping Agency really now has two different parts. If russia decides to admit what happens and co operate fully, they may be convinced to draw a line under it and move forward with reform. However the World Anti Doping Agency now has evidence, apart from my client, they have obtained the entire Laboratory Information Management System that shows thousands and thousands of dirty tests. These were all hidden within the database. Tests. These were all hidden within the data base. Wada tests. These were all hidden within the database. Wada has now recovered them. If russia continues its intransigence, my guess is that wada will simply double down and trace every single one of those dirty tests a nd every single one of those dirty tests and if it shows there were athletes that benefited from the doping system, in beijing, vancouver, other games, that those athletes will also be stripped. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you for having me. The bomber who attacked the Manchester Arena killing 22 people had been a subject of interest to the British Security services and opportunities to stop him were missed. Thats the conclusion of an official review. It says its conceivable the attack by salman abedi could have been avoided. After the Manchester Bombing and three terror attacks in london this year, uk Counter Terror police and Security Services conducted their own reviews, as our security correspondent Gordon Corera reports. Four terror attacks in three months, with some of those responsible known to the authorities, raising questions as to whether they could have been prevented. Today, a review said that the bombing at Manchester Arena, which killed 22 in may, was the only one that might have been stopped. The bomber, salman abedi, had been known to the authorities in the past but was not under active investigation. However, Data Analysis of 20,000 former suspects flagged him as one of a few dozen people for further investigation. But nine days before a meeting about this, he carried out his attack. And in the months leading up to that, new intelligence came in, which, if assessed differently, might have made him a priority. In hindsight, its quite obvious that having received that intelligence, m15 should have opened an investigation and who knows what that investigation would have found. Fact is, they didnt interpret the intelligence that way. The opportunity was missed. 15 year old Olivia Campbell hardy was killed in manchester. Her grandfather today said he wasnt blaming the Security Services. Theyre going to do the best they can with the information theyve got and they gather. Assess theirselves, assess the situation, make decisions and act on it. I will not fault anybody for doing theirjob. On the other attacks, in the case of london bridge, ring leader khuram butt was under active investigation, but there were no signs of what he was planning. In westminster bridge, Khalid Masood was a former subject of interest, but there were no warning signs. In finsbury park, there was no intelligence on the man charged. This years attacks were a shock to the Security Service m15, and todays report makes clear there do need some changes. There are 126 recommendations in all. Perhaps the most important, that information from here needs to be shared more freely with local police and other partners. The home secretary responded today by saying that police would have the money they needed. We will shortly be announcing the budgets for policing for 2017 18. I am clear that we must ensure Counter Terrorism policing has the resources needed to deal with the threats that we face. As well as these four attacks, nine more plots have been stopped in the last year, and officials warn the threat remains unprecedented. Gordon corera, bbc news. Stay with us on bbc news, still to come we ta ke we take a look at the role music has played at the white house over the centuries. Its quite clear that the worst victims of this disaster are the poor People Living in the slums which have sprung up around the factory. I am feeling so helpless, that the childrens are dying in front of me and i cant do anything. Charles manson is the mystical leader of the hippy cult suspected of killing sharon tate and at least six other people in los angeles. At 11am this morning, just half a metre of rock separated britain from continental europe. It took the drills just a few moments to cut through the final obstacle. Then philippe cozette, a minerfrom calais, was shaking hands with and exchanging flags with robert fagg, his opposite number from dover. This is bbc news. The latest headlines russia is banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics for doping, but the country denies any wrongdoing. Leaders across the middle east warn President Trump that moving the us embassy to jerusalem would seriously damage the Peace Process. Lets stay with our main story and speak to david makovsky, director of the project on the middle east Peace Process, at the Washington Institute for near east policy. Link to. Donald trump making a hugely significant move, here, today . Absolutely hears. He is changing us policy, and i think he needs to be careful in what he says to avoid it leading to political explosion. He is. He has to tread a fine explosion. He is. He has to tread afine line, explosion. He is. He has to tread a fine line, here, doesnt he got between what he was expected to say, recognising reality on the ground on the one hand, and not prejudging any piece process decisions . Exactly. Your viewers might not all realise that the western part ofjerusalem has been israels capital since 1949. The United States, britain, all countries to business with the country where its president sets, parliament sits, people have addressed the parliament there, et cetera. The issue therefore is raleys is that this is a historic injustice that there has been no recognition of its capital. The us concern is that adieu do this in a way that you dont prejudge the sovereignty of the eastern part of the city . Israelis. And here i think that is the fine line he has to walk, which is acknowledge the historic reality about the western pa rt historic reality about the western part of the city, but make clear that he does not want to put his thumb on the scale and bridges the outcome of these negotiations between israel and the palestinians. Evenif between israel and the palestinians. Even if israel to 100 of what they want, they would not get west jerusalem. Ifigure want, they would not get west jerusalem. I figure can want, they would not get west jerusalem. Ifigure can be done, but it needs to be done with political messaging and arab media, about what this means, and what it is not. And thatis this means, and what it is not. And that is a way to prejudge the negotiations about the eastern part of the city. And there are fears, here, and it talks about violence. Is that something that youre worried about . Yes. I think there will be clearly mass demonstrations and there is no way around that. I think the violence might be mitigated by a very disciplined political messaging by the us, going on al jazeera and every arab satellite network, clarifying that we wa nt satellite network, clarifying that we want to acknowledge the historic reality about the western part of the city, but the policy was not shifted. To distinguish that from prejudging the eastern part. I think if the us does that in a disciplined manner, it could mitigate the violence. I do as would eliminate it. Iam violence. I do as would eliminate it. I am concerned about violence, coming out the mosques on friday, and this could mean that Donald Trumps peace plan could be dead on the water. Citing this has to be done very carefully. 0k, will be listening to Donald Trumps was very carefully later. They give for joining us. Thank you forjoining us. Roy moores senate run in alabama has received quite the boost this week. First came President Trumps endorsement, and last night the Republican National committee resumed their support too. Its a u turn from a few weeks ago when allegations of Sexual Misconduct came out against him. But all along, many evangelical christians have stood byjudge moore. The bbcs Barbara Plett usher travelled to alabama to find out why. One is that a morning in alabama, almost everybody goes to church. And more than half the states questions are white evangelicals. For them, it is about being saved by faith in jesus, and holding the line against moral decay. Shake hands but they are standing with roy moore, at despite allegations of a moral behaviour. Carol is a long time supporter. The allegations of Sexual Misconduct sound to her like a political smear campaign, coming, as they did, one month before the senate election. I think they are trying to label him as a paedophile. And that word is trying to spread like wildfire. And ijust dont believe it. Would you change your support for ryan moore if they turned out to be true . If there was proof. Roy moore. Turned out to be true . If there was proof. Roy moore. But the way you describe it. There cant be, u nless describe it. There cant be, unless he admitted it, i guess. He certainly has not. In effect, he is called the victims liars, and he is using the pulpit to issue the denials. They are not looking for proof here because he is one of their own, a champion against it issues like abortion and same sex marriage. So abortion is a moral, you can . Absolutely. But you dont think Sexual Misconduct and Sexual Assault is a moral, also . think Sexual Misconduct and Sexual Assault is a moral, also . I do. But these are allegations. They are very old. People change all the time. What roy moore is today is what i am concerned about. If you are going to be public in your testimony for jesus, expect opposition. The pastor once rome or to take his mission to washington. He believes America Needs to reaffirm its christian roots. Where civic had to go to the left, believing things that it never did for the first 200 years of its existence. And i think a lot of that is due to hollywood and things like that. But he is one of the few that i have met, and that i have ever voted for, that you can count on when he gets in there. That he will do what he said he will do. So roy moore has a loyal following do what he said he will do. So roy moore has a loyalfollowing here in the bible balgo because of his reputation as a presenter for traditional values. There are plenty in alabama who said that he is not a kind of question. Belt. This pastor is not a supporter. He makes myjob harder. Because i enjoyed a rich people that think that christianity is a hateful and bigoted religion. This is what spiritual warfare really means. Bigoted religion. This is what spiritualwarfare really means. For colin henson, this is a battle that involves both candidates. He cant vote for either one of them. The only reason why we are having this conversation right now is because both candidates are extreme in one way or another. He is talking about abortion. Ryan moores opponent doug jones supports no restrictions at all. But colin is also frustrated by what he sees as damaging moral comprises made by roy moores supporters. I think the will c0 nse rve supporters. I think the will conserve the conservative evangelicals is, is there anything that a republican conservative candidate would do that would make you not open . I have not heard i have not had a good answer to that. The election has become a good showcase of the interactions between religion and politics and how this could achieve democracy. But the debate about the nature of christianity continues in americas christian heartland. Lets look at some of the other stories making news, now. The opposition in honduras has requested a recount of the recent election results. The little tribunal had already agreed to an earlier opposition demand to recount a third of the ballots. The opposition candidate, salvador nasralla, had appeared set for victory shortly after the election ten days ago, when the vote count was suddenly halted. The african born artist Lubaina Himid has been awarded the prestigious 2017 turner prize. Himid who is based in the north west of england is, at 63, the oldest artist ever to win the best known accolade in british art, which was opened to over 50s this year for the first time. Her work celebrates black creativity and the African Diaspora and includes paintings, prints, drawings and installations. Whether its hail to the chief or a more modern tune, music has always played an Important Role at the white house. Its been the backdrop to Historic Events and a soundtrack to diplomacy. Now a new book looks at the role music has played in each president s tenure. Jane obrien has gone to meet the musicians. Founded by an act of congress signed byjohn adams in 1798, the United States marine band has been responsible for providing music for the white house and the president ever since. I feel that weight of history every single day. You know, when you step foot inside the executive mansion, you have the responsibility of setting the tone for whatever that is happening at that time. Its exhilarating. There is this sense of electricity that happens inside the white house. And a lot of times, it is driven by music. Music at the white house, the subject and title of a new book, is shaped by two centuries of tradition and the president s taste. Thomasjefferson played the violin. Jon quincy adams, the flute. Many president s played piano, from truman to nixon. A wonderful story about Richard Nixon played the piano with pearl bailey singing. And of course we all know about bill clinton and the saxophone. Early performances took place behind closed doors, but in recent decades, technology has ensured that the white house is, indeed, americas stage. President harry truman demonstrated his musical skills during a 1950s televised tour of the white house. The president leads the tour to the east room, on whose piano he plays a portion of mozarts 9th sonata. The arts were heavily promoted under president john f kennedy. But it was Ronald Reagan who began regular televised performances in the 1980s. At times, music made history, it not merely accompanied it. In 1985, Prince Charles and Princess Diana had visited, taking the city by storm. Sojohn travolta wanted to dance with Princess Diana. He was a bit intimidated he didnt know the protocol. And finally, he was assured that would be fine. And there is a wonderful photo of them dancing in the grand foyer of the white house, and that picture went across the globe. As American Music has evolved from its european roots, so, too, have the range of performers. But the marine band, the oldest continuing music group in the us, has more often than not provided the soundtrack of diplomacy. Jane obrien, bbc news, washington. Fascinating stuff.

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 bbc news.
