5:51 am
autumn for a summit at the white house and those those discussions are now underway actively. what people are making of in the current hysterical atmosphere of washington pundit talk receive people who bought into complete meltdown though i think they were already completely shocked by what happened in helsinki earlier in the week this appears to have brought them close to utter utter. meltdown but it is interesting though as as this news came out down kurtz who is the director of national intelligence for for the president was being interviewed at a televised forum in aspen by by a journalist and that this news broke and it was quite clear from his response that he had not been consulted this is the president's director of national intelligence being told that the white house had just tweeted that vladimir putin had been invited to the white house say we have some breaking news the white house has
5:52 am
announced on twitter that that america is coming to the white house in the fall. again i. ask you. that imprudent i mean i hear you. ok. that's going to be special. it always seems to be the reaction doesn't it and now transfer rejection of put ins proposal what's happened there. so this was the proposal apparently made by value of putin in helsinki that he would cooperate with the special counsel investigation he would allow special counsel investigators to travel to russia to interview the several of the all the several russians who have been indicted by the special counsel investigation as a result of the special counsel investigation into alleged russian meddling in the
5:53 am
election he said alright your investigators can come to russia and interrogate them if our investigators come to the us and we can interrogate several americans we accuse of financial crimes tax evasion noted being part of a tax evasion scheme in russia donald trump would be accepted that proposal it was actively being considered in the white house even as recently as yesterday when the service as wednesday uproar again about the very notion of this of this even being considered by the white house particularly as one of those that the russians want to interview is a former ambassador u.s. ambassador to russia the senate's subsequently have voted unanimously against it republicans and democrats but just before the senate took that vote it was announced that donald trump has decided against that idea he does not accept the proposal from god to move in that their agents their interrogator security forces come to the u.s. to interrogate the americans it's a very canny move by the kremlin because the kremlin can now say look you want us
5:54 am
to cooperate with your investigation but you're not going to cooperate with our investigation so clearly it's all about hypocrisy though she had her time say in washington for us thank you. and other news israel has passed a controversial law that defines the country as the nation state of the jewish people and makes heber the only official language downgrading arabic and giving it special status and critics say the law legalizes discrimination marginalizing israeli palestinians to make up twenty percent of the population on the job jim reports from west jerusalem. moments after israel's parliament passed the controversial new law defining the country as the nation state of the jewish people . and other arab members of the knesset ripped up copies of it hours after the bill became law and in this far more serene setting was no less enraged the state is saying to its citizens. citizens you are not equal.
5:55 am
and you are maybe just and we are not we are the owner of this then we have a right not in this land but only in this land we are the indigenous the legislation adopted by sixty two votes to fifty five makes hebrew the only official national language and defines the establishment of jewish communities as being in the national interest it also stipulates that israel is the historic homeland of the jewish people and adds that they have an exclusive right to national self-determination in it. the law is controversial among israelis many have joined in the protests against the legislation saying it legitimizes discrimination palestinian political analysts say the law gives license to segregation is that any his attending the will of this is going to be in terms of geography they're not going to use over into the jewish exclusive jewish take it or leave it but i know with aside what would happen on this land we will never recognize anybody before us
5:56 am
we will never accept anybody after us many palestinians fear the new law will further marginalize their already marginalized population that that was when i think that so if we are talking about citizenship then you have to give all citizens the same rights regardless of their religion or political affiliations or their social or economic background if they give rights only to jews then palestinians will be considered second class citizens this will be really bad. to mom is an israeli palestinian who says she's dealt with discrimination her whole life and i guess the that's the fear and sort of given it. we have palestinians but there is racism between arabs and jews and it's obvious when jews see us wearing the he job they think we're going to hit them in the. palestinian rights groups say the new law also features elements of apartheid making it illegal under international law while condemnation from palestinian leaders has been constant

since the law was first proposed many palestinians we spoke with today said they also want to see and hear the international community speak out forcefully against this new legislation which they say will only make their lives more difficult how much improvement does it a west jerusalem. ok let's take a closer look at the breakdown of israel's population since the creation of the state of israel in one nine hundred forty eight and what palestinians call or the catastrophe israel's population has increased from eight hundred thousand to almost nine million people jews make up almost seventy five percent of the population among them forty four percent identify as secular eleven percent as religious and nine percent as ultra-orthodox meaning that they follow a very strict interpretation of judaism more than twenty percent of the total population are israeli arabs and more than four hundred thousand israelis identify as non arab christians or belong to other ethnic and religious groups riot

hug is a researcher on israeli and middle east politics at the masala center that's an ad advocacy center for arab citizens in israel and he joins me now via skype from haifa thank you very much for speaking to us many would say that the status quo has always been discrimination against the non jews and this putting this legislation into legislation will not change much it's just makes it law what would you say. yeah i think that makes sense actually because if you don't get the practices of the state of israel for the past seventy years discrimination has been central and a core policy of the state toward its palestinian citizens when this low does that basic law that assumes constitutional status is it really anchors in the law and grants constitutional immunity to discrimination against palestinian citizens in all walks of life but particularly in housing and in the issue of arabic as
5:59 am
official language but overall also it denies any historical connection between palestinians who identify as the indigenous people in this land and their homeland as well so what will actually change for you and other palestinians living there. so that changes as i said the practices have have been existing for a long time i think this is an escalation in terms of the policies of the state of israel to our its policy and citizen and i think citizens sorry and i think that overall what will change is one example is in the past palestinian citizens who were not allowed to speak arabic in the workplace or were fired for speak arabic or speaking arabic in the workplace we're able to resort to a court and to challenge session decisions in courts and to win their cases but now that arabic is not an official language anymore such legal challenges are not going to be a fail to them as an option to pursue any more so the legal protections that postilions
6:00 am
used to enjoy the very minor leaguer protections for their rights are very very small protection so what happens that is there going to be any kind of recourse is there anything palestinians can do to try and correct this in some way. i think there's a lot of hopelessness in the palestinian street in israel but many civil society organizations such as myself which i work for and many other organizations as well are trying their best to hold meetings with ambassadors of sarin fine diplomats in tel aviv in order to express their concerns and also to appreciate the statements that sounded the diplomatic missions in a deal of you have expressed particular the european union has expressed its very deep concerns with regards to this bill and its implication for human rights so hello. so what what can palestinians actually do and what would you say
6:01 am
is their reaction now do you think at any that there will be any kind of uprising or any kind of pro.
