5:01 pm
on the 8th grade to have you with us. this is allison, here, a life, and also coming up the leaders of russia and bella roost meat for the 1st time since last month's failed. mutiny by the wagner mercenary group. thousands of tourists and locals are move to safety in the greek island of rhodes, as wines fires burn out of control. and cambodian prime minister, when sams moving parts, he claims victory and a general election critics have called a sham the is really, protesters have begun there demonstration outside parliament in west jerusalem. they're angry about a number of traditional changes being proposed by the far right government. this includes measures that many say with less than the courts powers, the class that is due to vote on one aspect of the bill. on monday. hundreds of thousands of people have been protesting for months against the plans to change
5:02 pm
israel's legal system. critics say that it's a threat to democracy and let's talk about why the protesters are angry now the full package proposed by israel's government earlier this year with less than the courts powers and significant ways. it proposes giving these really parliament the ability to override supreme court decisions with a simple majority of $61.00 votes. it would allow politicians to choose which judges to a point at the moment, judges are selected by an independent panel. the changes would also remove the supreme court's ability to review the legality of what's known as israel's basic laws, which function as its constitution. presidents, isaac, for its sog, has vocally opposed this proposal saying that is pushing israel to the verge of legal and social collapse. and we come to today's situation. mohammed john hume is in west jerusalem, look mohammed the substance of it. and this, this law that is being debated on today voted on tomorrow is actually quite hard to understand. you did
5:03 pm
a terrific job of explaining it to me off air. can you share that with yours? explain what's in this text, this bill a 0 a to try to break this down. i would have to say that the law, the that's being proposed right now. the bill which is being debated as we speak right down the can ask that you see that's the can as of right behind us there. this is essentially a law that among other things would limit the oversight ability of the supreme court and other courts in this country. essentially, it would keep them from being able to enact what's known at the moment as the reasonableness clause. what that means is that the supreme court, in other courts in this country have the ability to deem decisions made by this government or appointments paid by this government as reasonable or unreasonable if they deem something to be unreasonable. that means they can then overruling. so if this highly contentious bill that is being debated right now and that it seems to
5:04 pm
be on track to be voted on for a 2nd and 3rd, readings as early as tomorrow. if that does pass, if it is an accidental law, that would mean that a crucial part of oversight of the supreme court and other courts in this country would be taken away. and it's one reason why demonstrators are so angry right now. they have said that if any part of this larger package of proposals by the prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and as far right wing coalition partners, if they were to pass into law, that means that the judiciary in this country would be severely weakened. now, the prime minister for his part has said and continues to say that his proposals would actually strengthen democracy in this country and they would counter through digital overreach. so it is a complicated issue. there's been a lot of discussion about it. but at its core, the bill that's being discussed right now if it comes into law, that means that oversight abilities crucial oversight abilities of the supreme
5:05 pm
court and other courts in this country would be taken away from the 0. so picking up on something you just said, the protesters are concerned that this is just the tip of a much larger iceberg. and if they lose this battle, then her many, many other a traditional changes that are just coming down the, the pike is that fair? is that the case? this is 0. i should 1st just mention that just in the last 15 minutes or so. we have heard a new from prime minister netanyahu, of course he was hospitalized for earlier today. he was outfitted with a pace maker. this is the 2nd time in just over a week that he's actually been hospitalized last week. he was hospitalized due to high dehydration and he was opted with a heart monitor. now he's been outfitted with a pace maker. there was a tweet from the prime minister and let me just read you what the prime minister said. he posted a video on twitter. you said we continue our efforts to complete the finalization of the legislation and we continue our efforts to do so with general agreement.
5:06 pm
tomorrow morning. i will be with my colleagues in the connected this tracks with what we've heard from his office earlier in the day, who told us earlier that the prime minister is doing well. but he's expected to leave the hospital as early as possibly this evening, and that he does expect to be in the can as of tomorrow for the vote on this bill. now, as to your question, the demonstrators that continue to come out of this is the 29th week of protests. they say that this is unprecedented. they say that all of these shows how much anger, there isn't a country. they say that the society here is extremely polarized, and they're saying that what the prime minister is attempting to do is putting the country on a path toward autocracy, taking it away from democracy. and that the reason they continue to come out is because they want to safeguard democracy in israel. now, right now you don't see a lot of people behind us. that's because people took a break in the middle of the day to go inside, get water, get food. but there are, we're told, potentially thousands demonstrators that are heading this way. they plan to come out in front of the connected to make their message loud and clear to the prime
5:07 pm
minister. and they say that they will continue to stay out here as long as this bill is continued to be debated. 0 right mohammed john. if you are reporting from west, the rest of them will be speaking throughout the day. thank you very much. mohammed to a palestinian family who was evicted from their home and occupied east jerusalem. save it is really settlers of threatened to destroy their furniture if they didn't collected. the family home was taken over by settlers earlier this month after is really authorities forced them out using a half a century old law. laura han met the family interest lives, old city. i'm in the alcohol at the street in the heart of all the parties, tristan's old city. i just want to show you the home of the soap look on family. they were living that for more than 7 decades, when they were forced out in the early house of the morning, just on to 2 weeks ago buys righty. so just made wait for his rady settlers to move into the home. now the family has quoted for a more often he is ready settlers. that's all the furniture across the street and
5:08 pm
told them they didn't collect it. they were destroyed. now they took my brother as well. one was specifically using the just like lawyers and the basement for kind of fans, and this should help the decision to throw them out of their home was made by these really for and the petition was in the courts for many, many decades, wrapped around by israeli jewish organizations, the claim on their rights are leave here and houses and most of the quarter, from my point of view, without any justification that that was in this house. every corner holds memories . there was life everywhere. my father and my mother lived here. there was always warmed and tenderness in this house and they tell me, the landlord at this time is linked to a settling movement. the ones that we shape the identity of the old city sticks, spelled them on the grounds of 50 years ago. the owner of the property was jewish and that they go on to israel's absentee property law,
5:09 pm
which allows jews claim what they call historically jewish prophecy. palestinians, however, comp do the same. the last moments out sarah occupied east jerusalem. precious president vladimir putin is holding talks with bella, russian leader, alexander lucas shanker in saint petersburg. now it is lucas shank, his 1st visit to russia since the short lived mutiny by the wagner mercenary group . this meeting comes at a time of rising tensions with poland. and moscow has warned any aggression against its allied bella roost would be considered an attack on russia. and both of the to receive that ukraine's counter offensive has failed. also this lucas shank, a said that the wagner group felt like attacking, pulled and listen to this. not much. it didn't look pretty good spark metals. the wagner fight does have become a concern. they're asking to let them go west. i'm asking them, why would you do that? require keeping tabs on them and they say, we just want to, you know, go on a trip to wall. so and gesture of possession of triggers them. because when they fault inbox mode,
5:10 pm
they knew where the west and military hardware was coming from. so they have this feeling that itself is a problem. of course i'm keeping them in central galleries like we agreed, and i wouldn't want to redeploy them. but as the in the slides moves, let's get more on this from daniel hawkins. he joins us from moscow. daniel, i'm just wondering what kind of context or fax you can provide around this statement because it is so eyebrow raising it is. so flipping from a head of state to say, well, you know, i have these, these, these deadly trained arm fighters don't want to attack the nato country. of course, certainly too many of this statement would be a surprising, perhaps, even boring given the number of balls and troops confirmed now on by the russian territory and training. but a russian forces not that far from the public school, from the border opened a states. this has to be perhaps a bad in mind to the context of the conversation. to cosign,
5:11 pm
co is known for using colorful language for using almost choking language in his conversations and meetings with a person. of course they are close friends, close allies, better ways and rush, folding the union state. but really, this perhaps is less of a threat to the message, both of the russian president and to nato states, to western states, to poland, saying look, we have these highly trained troops, thousands of them in burrows, so far they are under control. that being controlled by myself, that my guess and they don't go into anything that could represent the things that will trigger an escalation and the conflict. but let's just keep a close all the things because there is the potential for that to happen. just keeping both sides on their toes and true. an example of concern kind of function, trying to gain something from each side, sit on to schools if you like, play a game of, of double diplomacy trying to strive to let middle ground between russia as the better russian, the main ally on main neighboring states. and trying to get something as well as
5:12 pm
some sort of concessions from the west, the very much the message of things under control for now, but could go wrong quickly. let's hope that doesn't happen. that's probably the best way to interpret this statement. so for one of the question, well, i wanted to ask you whether we had any information on what bella ruth and lucas think the intent to do with this blog in a group, but perhaps you've just answered it. perhaps it's a way to put pressure on everyone a while it's been the 1000000 dollar question um for the past 2 weeks, um the temps, which how's these blog the fight has been expanding according to media reports. that's been made official. they all training a bunch of russian forces. they are working with them though a number of the fighters would also be heading to africa. media reports coming out just over the last day or so that they all training and providing security for the central out for the public forces and the presidential guard in the country. they've signed
5:13 pm
a contract with the government in the central african republic. so gonna weigh it so much business as usual of football. combat free to sign. the contract suite account. real network built in russia's board is in far away lands africa, where they've been very prominent in recent years. a what? the role in but a roo sofa is remains in question. we know they are tweeting those, but a russian forces we know according to media reports that's finding them very close to the power sport. and that's to get a response from the publish side to publish something, forces have sent thousands of troops to the better option border to ease tensions, bad to stop what they say could be any publications from the by the russian side. that's not something we've seen. so far, but it's something that the nato states will be watching very closely. but a russian president has also, of course, said that he's grateful to russia for vote for providing protection to by the rules . and that any attacks will aggression against, but a roost will be an attack on russia as well. so it's something both sides going to keep them in a very closely the coming months. yeah,
5:14 pm
we're really navigating and very great territory here. daniel hawkins, thanks for putting all that context around it. i appreciate it any. thanks. now at least 12 people have been killed after building collapsed and cameron ruined the 4 story building came down on another building early on sunday. in the city of the wall, the west of the capital, we owned a rescue. workers along with the military, are digging through the rubble to search for survivors. the wild flyers in greece forest, tens of thousands of people to be moved to safety. the out of control fires have been burning near populated areas for 5 days. stephanie decker reports from mantra just outside of athens. under a dark orange sky and with little warning, thousands of holiday makers and residents rushed to escape out of control. wildfires. winds gusting around 46 kilometers an hour, pushed the flames towards populated coast after 5 days of inland fires. private
