In a move which would upend decades of American policy, U.S. President Donald Trump is seriously considering declaring that the U.S. recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital city.

The Palestinians have long demanded that East Jerusalem is their capital, and the international community maintains, the issue must be resolved by negotiation.

IRISH BORDER 'MAY HAVE NO SOLUTION'

Solving the issue of the Irish border as the UK leaves the EU might not be possible, according to an influential committee of British MPs.

The UK says it doesn't want a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland.

But if it leaves the single market and customs union - the Irish border will be the external border for both of those.
