The Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said: "The UK deplores the Israeli government’s decision to advance plans for 2610 settlement units in Givat Hamatos. This is an ill-judged decision which will have serious implications for the possibility of Jerusalem being a shared capital in a future two-state peace agreement and will hinder the process.
"The UK's position on Israeli settlements is clear: they are illegal under international law. If this development is built it will damage the prospect of a two-state solution, and it will make it more difficult for Israel’s friends to defend it against accusations that it is not serious about peace. We urge Israel to reverse this decision."
Greater Manchester Police Arrest Over 120 People

Some of the wanted offenders arrested included 18-year old and 19-year old men who were wanted for a cash in transit robbery. On arresting the pair an amount of cash was recovered. Officers also arrested a 25-year old man wanted following a robbery on a taxi driver and a 19-year old man wanted for an assault.
Specialist and divisional officers have visited the homes of criminals across the county to ensure they fulfilled their bail and curfew conditions and not returning to their offending ways.
There have also been home visits carried out to repeat victims of domestic abuse to ensure their abusing partners do not return to cause them further harm.
