green party adam davis who's running for congress and utah's first district adams first of all thanks for being here and let me ask you why you decided to get into politics at this time and why with the green party. political involvement is more important than ever we've seen with the rise of donald trump we've seen a lot of people respond by getting more involved you see a lot of a lot of concern about some of the policies that are that are being implemented and in politics only works when where or when people are a part of it and so that's why i think it's absolutely was absolutely critical for me and i think it's critical for others to get involved as well why the green party and not the democrats say if you really want to oppose the policies of president trump well because i've been able to watch the democrats consistently fail to live up to the values that they say they do that's why i'm in the green party in the first place i grew up as a young person as as

a democrat and i came to the green party really because i saw i saw those those failures i saw democrats consistently saying one thing and doing another so moving forward to those critics who are worried about. two thousand and sixteen what would be your. what would your pitch be what can you do different how can you really make change well i think we have to start by i mean a lot of people talk about you know taking votes and well obviously that's that's the idea is to take votes from the people you're running against that's that's why we run for office but i think i think it's more critical socially as a third party candidate to use my candidacy to bring new people into the process to reach out to voters who feel disenfranchised by the democratic and republican parties and people who are disenchanted with with the policies that are being implemented right well adam thank you so much for being here on this hot day in utah as you can see the green party is unapologetic in. in trying to

capitalize on the movement right now trying to capitalize on anti trump fervor they say that their surveys show that young people in particular are eager for a third party millennial as they say some seventy one percent think it's time for a third party and they're making it clear as we just heard they're not just running against president trying they think that they're running against a two party system that needs to change christensen let me live for us in salt lake city thank you very much france is the latest country to send help to sweden where local crews are struggling to get on top of about forty wildfires the flames are being fueled by severely hot dry weather affecting the whole nordic region sweden is called in european countries to help get control of the fires as a battle is its worst drought in more than seventy years that have been record high temperatures set around the world this week a popular chinese film about the smuggling of cheap cancer drugs is spurring on a real life effort to lower medication prices china correspondent adrian brown

explains from beijing well this is a film that's really struck a chord here in china and this is one of the many cinemas in beijing that is now showing dying to survive some of us say that it's tested to become china's movie of the year it is based on the real life story of a chinese shopkeeper who imports drugs from india to sell at a profit to leukemia patients here in china who can't afford to buy those drugs in china at first he's in it for the money the gradually compassion creeps in as he realizes all the lives that could be saved so what impact has this film had on people who see it. i cried many times the feel me is very a list it is shows many problems about the medical care system in china. many ordinary people cannot afford expensive medicine i can feel their desperation this

is a sensitive subject because cancer it's estimated claims the lives of some four million people a year in china it is the country's biggest killer and some medical experts attribute some of those cancers to the sort of pollution we have in beijing today pollution that also afflicts other towns and cities across china dying to survive has now caught the attention of china's premier league who has said more has to be done to improve treatment for cancer patients in china it is an acknowledgement that inequality exists in china's health care system the issue has now started a big debate online but for now the censors appear to be holding off. now the idea of a flying whale might sound like the stuff of fantasy but it's become something of a reality in the skies over france this air bus transport plane nicknamed the beluga for its distinctive shape took its maiden flight from toulouse it can carry fifty three tons of cargo over

about his allegiance to his own country u.s. president donald trump delivered some of his toughest talk yet and a threat to russia's president vladimir putin about their relationship be the worst enemies ever had the worst he's ever had but for days trungpa signaled a willingness to work with putin despite overwhelming evidence of russia's interference in u.s. affairs who are here returning from capitol hill the controversy continues yes. democrats pressuring their republican colleagues. they want more money to protect u.s. elections for future russian meddling republicans voted it down democrats also want the translator president monday's closed door trump meeting to testify on capitol hill and there are new concerns about putin's request to question americans. in

finland putin said the kremlin should be able to interrogate one of his most vocal critics u.s. born businessman bill browder in exchange for the u.s. questioning twelve russian hackers indicted for meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. election the russians also want to question former u.s. ambassador to russia michael mcfaul it wasn't until thursday four days after putin raised the proposal with trump the president weighed in through his press secretary who stated president trump disagrees with it the resolutions agreed to on thursday the u.s. senate passed a unanimous resolution to protect any diplomat from extradition meantime further proof trump is acting unilaterally his top intelligence chief caught by surprise by a white house invitation lattimer putin is coming to the white house in the fall. so you have again i. love you. but imprudent i mean i hear you yeah yeah yeah. ok.

the colts reaction is further proof the white house is still reeling from donald trump's public relations disaster in finland and is working to repair the damage caused by trump at the helsinki summit can really help at al-jazeera the white house and she how the times is joining me live from washington d.c. she had once again donald trump seems to have thrown washington a curveball. right. there is a great deal of gnashing of teeth on the cable news networks right now that we always see whatever russia is mentioned these days often quite incoherent and hysterical comment it has to be said but there are some substandard issues that do need to be addressed for example down codes the director of national intelligence was saying just before he was surprised with the news of the invitation to the white house for that image he was saying he still doesn't and he's the director of national intelligence what was discussed at the helsinki summit the two hour long

meeting just between donald trump and vladimir putin he still doesn't know what was discussed that we just got the statement from chuck schumer the democratic leader in the senate who said until we know what happened in that two hour meeting in helsinki the president should have no more one on one interactions with putin in the united states in russia or any where else this is significant because we're getting more reports from russia hinting at what was discussed putin has been quoted in bloomberg as one reporter bloomberg saying that about putin told ambassadors gathered in moscow russian ambassadors gathered in moscow that they discussed the possibility or at least trying to think about the possibility off a referendum for the separatist regions in ukraine for example that would alarm a lot of people in europe and in the american national security establishment has russia russian interest probably when then the referendum that seems quite unlikely that the u.s. would go along with that but in addition to that donald trump himself said various major issues were discussed nuclear proliferation the middle east north korea trade terrorism and so on and then

a russian official again the russian ambassador washington speaking in moscow said many verbal agreements were reached in moscow so there is this question before we go move on to more negotiations with a lot of the putin for the u.s. what exactly transpired in that initial meeting there's a lot of speculation for example in the middle east there might be more cooperation in syria for example between russia and the united states something that barack obama also tried it has to be said the director of central command the commander of central command which is the military responsibility for the middle east however said as of today he's nothing he said no new guidelines so we set up this quite some standard questions actually asked about as to what what what may be the real geopolitical implications of that meeting up to now we just have speculation she had thanks very much indeed. the european union has expressed concern about a new israeli law that defines the country as the nation state of the jewish people and makes hebrew the sole official language downgrading arabic to having special status palestinians describe the law as racist and verging on apartheid homage to

reports from west to resume. 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 no it isn't. that isn't you are not equal 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 the way in is telling the world this is going to be in terms of geography they're not going to use over a jewish exclusive jewish take it or leave it but i know with aside what would happen on this land we will never. be before us we will never accept anybody after us many palestinians fear the new law will further marginalize their already marginalized population that that want to now we have to interrupt so that 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. that's the fear young un sort of given at least 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 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 say 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 for him a gentleman just west jerusalem well the move is being watched closely by the trumpet administration which is working on a so-called peace plan for israel. israel and palestine i spoke to the time campaigns virginia chairman about this earlier and i asked him whether he thought the white house would have been consulted. you couldn't imagine

a situation where the israeli government would go forward with this kind of a sweeping change that basically has now disenfranchised over two million palestinians living in israel they're supposed to be israeli citizens they felt like second class citizens before now what this law has done is they have legislated the legality of basic discrimination it's kind of hard to imagine that the israeli government when it would not have done this without some assurances that the trump administration was going to look the other way i don't think they're going to come out in favor of this but obviously they thought there was not going to be the type of reaction that they might have had in a different situation i think moving the israeli capital from tel aviv to jerusalem which was a campaign promise of the president president trump that he followed through on

definitely embolden the israeli government to do this but the problem is they've got two million palestinians there and they have legislated them into basic non-citizen oblivion and the only way you're going to turn this around is with international outrage twenty four hours later that's not really happened rob meanwhile prime minister benjamin netanyahu has called his one galeon counterpart a true friend of israel despite allegations of i'm t. semitism viktor orban has visited jerusalem's holocaust museum during his first official trip to israel it was an outcry among jewish groups last year when oregon praised the man who ruled hungary jewing world war two and who collaborated with the nazis netanyahu says audubon has been an advocate for israel on the international stage. an israeli air strike has killed a palestinian man in gaza who was suspected of flying burning kites across the
