of the houses they are african narratives from african perspective. and yet v as the of the thinking, he makes sure documentary from an african filmmakers from south africa and gone the nature of the not important because that's where the future life in this place is very important. because it connects us to the past, the last speaker and studio of all kinds africa direct on i'll just sierra, the israel's problem is debates, part of the culture of virtual government plan to change the judiciary with tens of thousands protest in anger. the
8:01 pm
civil venue, it's great to have you with us. this is elisha 0 life from bill. also coming up on rob mcbride in the fort city of a desk that clearing off after another by raj. a russian besides wildfires in the greek island of rhodes burn out of controllers. thousands of people are move to safety and spanish motors have just one more hour to decide who will be their next prime minister. the who begin in west jerusalem more tens of thousands of is really protesters are demonstrating outside parliament. they're angry about a number of traditional changes being proposed by the far right government. that includes measures that many say with less than the course powers,
8:02 pm
a thickness. it is currently debating one item in the proposed changes on sunday, and it is expected to vote on it. by monday. if approved, the supreme court will no longer be able to reject political decisions made by the government. you're looking at the live pictures right now outside of process, outside the supreme court. now the plans to change israel's legal system have angry many and let the nation wide protests for months. critics say that the bill is a threat to democracy and a rival rally in support of the government is taking place in tel aviv thousands have turned out to encourage the government's plans. many are supporters of the right wing coalition. let's take a look at some of the reasons why so many professors are angry. the full package proposed by israel's government would reduce the chords powers number one, it proposes giving these really parliament the ability to override supreme court decisions with a simple majority of 61 votes. it would also allow politicians to choose which
8:03 pm
judges to a point at the moment. judges are selected by an independent panel, and 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 at his constitution . president isaac hertzog, has vocally opposed the proposals saying they've pushed israel to the verge of legal and social collapse. mohammed gems room has more now from west jerusalem. that essentially is a bill, but it's an accurate into law would limit the oversight capability of the supreme court and other courts in the country. what it means, in essence, is that, look, the supreme court and other courts in this country have what's known as a reasonableness clause. that means that if there were political decisions that were made ministerial decisions, appointments that were made or laws that were passed that were deemed unreasonable by a legal standard, that the cords would have oversight capability. and they could been over ruled
8:04 pm
those laws. this is something that will now if this legislation is passed, will be taken off the table. that's why demonstrators are so concerned and that's why they are so angry. let me also just set the scene a little bit for you where we are. so you can see behind us there are demonstrators, many of them walking. we are in the connected complex where there's a lot of security at this hour. if you look over here, that's the can, that's it. that is israel's parliament. now, one of the reasons why there are not more protesters here at this specific hour, even though they were suppose to be used because you have a stepped up security. you have a lot of barricades, we've seen petroleum, and on horses, we have seen water cannons deployed to specific areas here in case there are any kind of clashes, perhaps later in the day of the security. that is in place. once to make sure that this area is secure, in case more crowd show up, we do know that there are tens of thousands of demonstrators in other parts of the
8:05 pm
city, including in front of israel's supreme court, which is close by to where we are now. and in a nearby park where there is essentially a tech city that is being set up so that protesters have been coming out here in their defiance. can actually camp out overnight and continue to be here. because tomorrow is the day when it is expected. that the 2nd and 3rd votes on this proposed legislation will take place. now let me just add that the prime minister is under a lot of pressure right now. you will have over 10000 reserve is in this country who are saying they will not report to duty various parts of the military. if this proposal is enacted into law. that's cause a lot of concern for military chief and this country. in fact, the chief of staff of the army put out a letter earlier in the day, warning reserve is that it is not up to them whether or not they are report for duty. he also said that, back to the matter is that in this country, if you have,
8:06 pm
you know, many, many thousands of reserve is not reporting for duty. well, that could affect military preparedness and readiness if there were a security threat. lot of concern about that. you also have the 10s of thousands of demonstrators that are still coming out. but besides that, the prime minister is also under pressure for members of his right. we coalition who would like to see this one part of the broader judicial overhauled plan actually passed into law before the connected. it takes its summer break, which is scheduled to happen on july 30th. so there's a lot going on right now. we expect we'll hear more from prime minister netanyahu in the hours to come. the demonstrator say they will continue to come out. there is more pressure from society. in fact, there are more pressure from different unions in this country saying that perhaps they will propose a general strike. all of this is going to complicate the picture in the hours ahead to a palestinian family who was evicted from their home and occupied east. jerusalem says that is really settlers have threatened to destroy their furniture if they don't come in collected. the family home was taken over by settlers earlier this month
8:07 pm
