People in the uk waited more than four hours in the last year. Also, the foreign secretary will pledge to stand by european allies in the fight against islamist terrorism after britain leaves the eu. Hms Queen Elizabeth will be commissioned into Service Later today. Good morning. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. The leader of the Palestinian Islamist movement, hamas, has called for a new intifada, or popular uprising, following President Trumps recognition of jerusalem as israels capital. The us decision has been widely criticised around the world, including by some of americas closest allies such as britain, france and saudi arabia. The United NationsSecurity Council will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow to debate the move. Lets show you the latest pictures we have from bethlehem, where there have been demonstrations against the decision by President Trump and tear gas is being used to try and disperse those demonstrations. Joining us now is fawaz gerges, professor of International Relations at the London School of economics. Good morning. Thank you forjoining us. Good morning. Thank you forjoining us. I guess when we look at those images from bethlehem, its no surprise, given the initial reaction to what President Trump said yesterday . It is the beginning. I fear that this move could trigger a biggerfire in the middle east. It has been imploding since 2006. Now you have a new front. Moving the us embassy to jerusalem will do you have a new front. Moving the us embassy tojerusalem will do more harm than good. It will undermine the quest for peace. It basically shatters the idea or the lie that americans are peace brokers. It undermines their allies, jordanians and egyptians. It does not advance is reals cause. The United States now stands facing the International Community. Including the United Nations and the pope. We have seen various us embassies in parts of the middle east warning their staff and theirfamilies to middle east warning their staff and their families to take extra care. President trump has been focusing largely on his domestic audience, his core voters when he made this announcement. What can be done in terms of other us allies like britain, france and someone, who have condemned this decision, to try to calm the situation . have condemned this decision, to try to calm the situation . I think this is really what we should focus on. Donald trump is a disrupter and i demolish. We need to understand this move in context. He has pooled the United States out of climate policy. This is red meat for a red audience. It is about his populist base of support. The International Community has moved on regarding the climate agreement. The International Agreement. The International Agreement will most likely move on regarding jerusalem. The challenge facing the palestinians and israelis is not to put all their eggs in the basket of donald trump. I am not a palestinian, but they should be heartened that the International Community is on their side. Nobody is saying that the United States should not have moved its embassy to jerusalem. Donald trump couldve turned a dangerous move into a win win by saying he recognises west jerusalem as the capital of israel andi jerusalem as the capital of israel and i recognise eastjerusalem as a future capital of a new state. We will take you live to the Foreign Office. Borisjohnson will take you live to the Foreign Office. Boris johnson has just will take you live to the Foreign Office. Borisjohnson has just began his speech. They are seeking each other right in countries where governance is weak. They are there in afghanistan, libya, somalia, northern nigeria. Five months of this year, the so called Islamic State were in the philippines. Theyre state were in the philippines. They re capable of state were in the philippines. Theyre capable of operating even put in places where governments are comparatively stable, as they tried to do in tunisia and egypt. 100 of the foreign fighters came from malaysia. We see the impact in western europe. In the concrete and steel chicanes installed around public buildings. In the endless queues at airports and recent attacks in manchester and london. We know they are simultaneously moving up know they are simultaneously moving up and down the ladder of technological ambition. Youre working on new bonds of all kinds, new ways of eluding detection, they are enlisting everyday objects as terrorist weapons and im sad to say that it has become all too commonplace to read that somewhere on our continent someone chooses to announce that god is great while launching an attack on passers by. In this country, m15 and counterterrorism policing are now running well over 500 live operations. A third more than last year. So now is the moment to draw confidence from our success against daesh and consider how we an ยง wiwfi ar iii; a, ar i155; a, 7 7 ofa of a fight not a think of a fight not against a military opponent but against a disease or psychosis. Even though that metaphor is itself imperfect. They have decided to take this path. Me and they alone are responsible for other crimes. Perhaps we can see that as with every other form of criminal behaviour, we have to look at the social and emotional factors that combine to make people dedicate themselves to such comprehensive nihilism. I appreciate the inadequacies of the phrase islamist terrorism. If i could think of a better one, i would use it. But would need to understand exactly why this type of terrorism has become associated with islam, in a way that 1. 5 billion muslims find insulting and infuriating. It is an ancient idea and common to virtually all religions, including christianity, that any kind of worldly setback, military defeat, political humiliation, Even Economic decline, must be the mark of some divine disfavour. For thousands of years, human beings have postulated that the correct response must be to stipulate that god or gods by some act of piety, think of a amendment who believed he was being punished for a transgression. He killed his daughter. It is this same sort of expedia three thought pattern that allows people to engage in movements which can be described as puritan fundamentalist. In the past 150 yea rs, fundamentalist. In the past 150 years , we fundamentalist. In the past 150 yea rs, we have fundamentalist. In the past 150 years, we have seen fundamentalist. In the past 150 years, we have seen how a small number of islamic thinkers have responded to what they see as the humiliations of the muslim world. And this same logic applies to the individual as he or she is radicalised. Because of course the world is full of people who feel that they are not successful or not powerful or not in control of their lives. And then suddenly in a mosque torah prison or increasingly online, someone torah prison or increasingly online, someone hands them what seems to be this emotional universal spanner. And are told that all the disappointments are caused by their own refusal to adopt a jihadist ideology. If only they return to this extreme and violent theology, all the troubles would be gone and their lives turned upside down. And suddenly the world around them which had previously seemed to be alienating and intimidating, now seems itself to be contemptible and corrupt and deserving of their holy rage. This process is fast. Islamist jihadism has been compared to crack cocaine. It is also hard to reverse. And so we need to stop the spread of this malady. We need to confront it and wipe it out. In all the ungoverned spaces where it reads, in the middle east, north africa, in the middle east, north africa, in the foul rag and bone shops of the internet, in our own country where it exploits the very freedoms of our liberal democracy. And in the wildest and least govern space of all, the human heart. There are interlocking ecosystems of terror, domestic and international, contaminating each other online. We can stop both cogs turning. We can greatly reduce the threat. Yes, we can win. But we need to understand not just whom we can win. But we need to understand notjust whom we mean by the enemy, we need to understand who we are. Who are we who are going to win . There is an unedifying narcissism in the whole use of this first person plural. All too often, the term we is taken to mean the west. It means the so called advance liberal democracies of europe and america. And if that is all we mean by we, then the cause is hopeless. Look at then the cause is hopeless. Look at the death tolls from suicide bombs that no rate barely a paragraph in our papers in iraq and somalia. Who are the principal victims of this global disease . Its not westerners. So Boris Johnson speaking at the Foreign Office. Were going to come back to that speech. E is expected to top for around half an hourand take is expected to top for around half an hour and take in the question and a nswer an hour and take in the question and answer session for you. In the meantime, lets return to our main story this morning. And the news that the leader of hamas has called foran that the leader of hamas has called for an uprising against israel, and intifada, in response to yesterdays decision by President Trump to recognise jerusalem as decision by President Trump to recognisejerusalem as the capital. Issam ikirmawi is a correspondent for bbc arabic. We can speak to him live injerusalem now. Weight in practical terms, what you think this call for an intifada is to mean . It is sort of expected. Every time there is kind of incident, hamas calls for an intifada. The cold for an intifada last year when there was a spate of stabbing in eastjerusalem. This is in keeping with their stance on this issue. Other factions in keeping with their stance on this issue. Otherfactions have called for people to go out and demonstrate an express their anger and displeasure at President Trumps announcement yesterday recognising jerusalem as the capital of israel. They have declared three days of rage starting on wednesday. Now were hearing of between demonstrators and Israeli Police and soldiers in various parts, in bethlehem, eastjerusalem and also on the road betweenjerusalem and kamal. Is there disquiet, any sense of disquiet with the government because of the violence that potentially this decision might bring . of the violence that potentially this decision might bring . If youre talking about the israeli government, the israelis decided to beef up their presence by sending extra police and soldiers to potential hotspots in the west bank. Also there have been reports that Binyamin Netanyahu has cancelled some of his engagements today to concentrate on what is happening on the ground. As for the palestinians, Mahmoud Abbas spoke yesterday after the announcement and he expressed disappointment at what President Trump had to save. And he called a recognition of jerusalem trump had to save. And he called a recognition ofjerusalem as the capital of israel as a blow to the Peace Process. On the palestinian side, are they hearing, although the focus on what President Trump has announced, i they hearing the voices of objection come from france, britain and elsewhere the announcement . Is this a possible route to prevent violence, if they listen to other leaders . Most of the world is against this announcement. There have been statements from various governments in france, the uk, other islamic governments in the region. They have all more or less said the same thing that they did not think it was a good idea to recognise jerusalem unilaterally as the capital and that should only be done within a larger or competence of Peace Agreement between the israelis and palestinians. How effective these messages are when it comes to the street, that something else. People are not really holding out much hope for what the palestinian president had to say. The general consensus amongst palestinians is that Mahmoud Abbas is too weak to stand up to the americans and israelis and he is only paying lip service to the announcement from President Trump. Thank you. A d raft a Draft Agreement between britain and the eu which would have allowed the brexit negotiations to move on to trade. I am joined by ian watson. Do you have any sense yet what this deal might be on the border issue because it seems that is the crucial issue that is stopping progress at this stage . Thats right. It seems to be the crucial issue. Downing street have said more work needs to be done on the question of the irish border. It doesnt sound as if theres any deal thatis doesnt sound as if theres any deal that is likely to be eminent. As i understand it, what they are trying to do but at the is something. There have been various terms are banded alone and. The dup is worried about any kind of internal border being set up between Northern Ireland and the rest of the uk. What has been talked about at the moment isa has been talked about at the moment is a phrase called phil alignment. Effectively that would mean you could have similar rules and regulations on both sides of the irish border but Northern Ireland would like the rest of the uk be free to drop separate rules and regulations as long as it had a similar outcome. It is that kind of level of detail being discussed. I dont know yet whether that will be a cce pta ble dont know yet whether that will be acceptable to the dup. There is huge pressure on theresa may from the irish Prime Minister and Michel Barnier. There is a crucial eu summit next week. I was speaking to Chris Grayling earlier today and he seemed to think that the timetable for any deal might be more flexible than that. Theres lots of talk about deadlines at the moment. And certain that when people want something to happen, they will make it happen. We will try to find the right way forward. Im in no doubt that over the coming days if there isa that over the coming days if there is a will to find an agreement, that agreement will be found regardless of what time of day or night it is. Next thursday . Were all working towards reaching an agreement for next thursday. There is a desire to reach a resolution and im sure people will be flexible to do that. So when is the Michel Barnier would really like it by tomorrow evening. Is that likely . Possibly, possibly not. The dup sounding pretty downbeat about whether they will get a deal this week. Potentially be some noises from brussels that the Eu Commission might be prepared to wait until next tuesday to try to get anything definitive. If that is the key to unlock this Movement Towards crucial trade talks which theresa may thinks will be crucial to boost business confidence. That mightjust then to boost business confidence. That might just then give to boost business confidence. That mightjust then give other eu leaders to give the green light to the trade talks when they meet formally in brussels next week. Interesting way, the chancellor Philip Hammond is yet to discuss what they want from the trade talks. Downing street sources are telling us downing street sources are telling us that will happen and it is likely to happen before the end of the year. But unlikely to happen before the trade talks have actually been given the go ahead. Thank you.
