my name is dave out of people homes and a war adds me to. this is you know we news live from berlin israel passes a divisive new law that critics say legalizes discrimination arab israeli lawmakers protest against the statute which defines israel as a jewish nation state the law downgrades the arabic language and says only the country's jews are entitled to self-determination also coming up british police

reportedly identify suspects who carried out the poison attack on sergei script ball and his daughter the government has played down the claim will get the latest from london. and also on the show the invisible children of the bosnian war they were born to mothers raped during the conflict of the early one nine hundred ninety s. no one wanted to acknowledge them then now they're fighting for their race. it's great to have you along everyone the israeli parliament has passed a controversial law which explicitly defines the country as the national homeland of the jewish people the new law makes hebrew the country's only official language downgrading arabic to special status it also states that only the country's jews

have the right to self-determination israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has called the vote a defining moment in the history of zionism critics say the law is racist and discriminatory. protests in parliament against a law that is tearing up relations between jewish and arab israelis arab politicians were rejected as they spoke against the law which gives jews the unique right of national self-determination it passed with a narrow majority prime minister benjamin netanyahu described it as an historic day . this is a defining moment in the annals of zionism and the history of the state of israel. the law in shrines the national flag anthem and holidays it declares jerusalem as israel's capital and supports the development of jewish communities hebrew is now the country's only official language arabic downgraded to

a so called special starters. arab lawmakers said the measures verge towards apartheid their nationality bill is a hate crime there are discriminating against the arab citizens against minority with a racist after kins especially of those over jewish settlements and the arctic is downgrading there are a big the status of that of england. around twenty percent of israelis are of arab ethnicity some say they still treated as second class citizens observers say the law undermines democracy in israel. this basic law is clearly not giving the same level of equality and he's actually designed to supersede the laws that we already had this is very problematic i think it will minimize. the rights for minorities

and he's well minorities in israel might feel alienated and probably rightly so because the law. he is making is well more jewish less than a problem. opponents are likely to challenge the law before israel's supreme court . i want to talk about the implications of this contentious law we can now talk to the cave elder he's an israeli political columnist for al monitor mr eldar very warm welcome to d.w. news let's talk about this nation state built in bell excuse me it makes no mention of minority rights it doesn't mention democracy how is prime minister benjamin netanyahu defending the spell actually he is loud and clear that we have to realize that the jewish people of the majority here and the majority takes it all he's into potations of democracy

is that the majority of these really people who voted for him and other right wing and so graphic parties and this is there will also democracy we want and we can do whatever we like and this is not the only thing to put it in the right context we can add to this bill that was passed at this week that allows the minister of education who is the leader of another ultra right wing quality. to decide which organisations will be allowed in civil society organizations human rights will be allowed to meet with was cool students and who not and of course what he has in mind is to get to stop the organisations such as breaking the silence from telling young people

about. mr elder what are the practical implications of this bill i mean how does this impact day to day life. actually this is the good news that it's not going to get was it's bad enough today and what it does maybe if you want to look at the bright side it will maybe make your way to make a wakeup call to the two other minorities in the world such as the jewish community in the united states that israel democracy shouldn't be taken for granted and they have to fight for it. maybe it was send a message to other democratic countries that are already sending a message to israel that they are not happy about it and well as the irish senate sent

a message don't have to be about the settlements and they boycotted the products on the settlements so maybe this will be a wake up call to all of us why why do you think prime minister benjamin netanyahu wanted to do this right now i mean talk to us a little bit about the timing because this is of course happening just after trump some time ago recognized true islam as the capital of israel what this have been possible what we're seeing today if the israeli leader didn't feel emboldened by america's support. i think that's he feels that the sky is the limit that he got some will and will operate died from his success it's not only the american decision to remove the embassy to jerusalem and it's the american decision to pull out from the agreement was iran the. pressure on iran not to a chilly age of israeli attacks in syria and i see that in

a way. he she feels that. everything can work and i will not be surprised if. days from today maybe even tomorrow we'll see a poll that shows that the majority of the israeli jews like this bill. what i'm saying that this program doesn't this is really reflects the climate the public climate and the collective israeli feeling was this kind of loss and i know it's very unfortunate but i believe that this is the reality mr keefer elder israeli political columnist for al monitor sir thank you for joining us and providing us with your perspective. but even britain's security minister has played down a media report that police have identified suspects linked linked to the attack on

former russian agent sergei screwball and his daughter yulia ben wallace dismissed the report as speculation the pair were poisoned with novacek in the city of salisbury back in march two more people were recently exposed to the same nerve agent in a nearby town and one of them has since died the news agency reports says investigators used security footage and travel records to pinpoint the suspects police have declined to comment on the report. and. barry gets masa joins us now from the british capital been at the british security minister says that these reports that police have identified those responsible are widely speculative what's the latest. well yes he had sent out a tweet and said that they were ill informed and speculative however it doesn't mean that they are untrue i would say because the present sociate is a respected news agency and it could also be the case that the investigators are

just not at this point in time where they want to release their formal conclusion so that could be the that could be the reason behind it that officials are just a little bit careful at the moment and i do want to get out with all the information that they have we'll have to see how the prez will back it up because they have said that they have interviewed a source that is close to the investigation and that these source has said that several russians have been identified as the perpetrators of this attack do we know why these full course of justice those responsible have been caught. well according to this media report it was c.c.t.v. footage all of the u.k. has lots of c.c.t.v. security cameras where you can really track down individual steps and this is what the investigators would have done in the last weeks and they cross-reference this with or direct codes so people who flew in and out of the country and this is how

they are thought to believe thought to have come to the conclusion that they have identified the proper trade just bought we have no official confirmation as yet has there been any russian reaction to this news. the russian ambassador who has always been quite vocal on this subject has said that he wants to have something that's formal something by scotland yard by the by the british government before he makes an official statement we do know that this has really soured u.k. russian relations and it will be a subject that they will have to work on the question is even if the british do release the name of the suspects of a thing they have found of have betrayed is the question is will russia believe it because russia has so far the nine any involvement in this case they get most reporting from london thank you. and you're watching the news with self

a lot more to tell you about so here's what's ahead a forgotten generation comes into focus in bosnia children of war rapes fight for rights and recognition. and the european union says it's ready to retaliate if the u.s. imposes tariffs on its cars that says automakers in the u.s. warn they could shed hundreds of thousands of jobs if the trumpet ministration goes ahead with its plans. first though a u.s. president has spent a second day trying to manage the fallout from his controversial summit with is a russian counterpart vladimir putin at that summit he said he believed in still nial concerning allegations of russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election a daily or though trump made a major u. turn claiming he had misspoken when addressing the media while trump is facing massive criticism over his handling of the some of both from politicians and from the public that was traders have kept up protests in front of the white house for

three nights in a row and last night a president from told the u.s. network c.b.s. that he did agree with the u.s. intelligence claims that russia had meddled in the twenty sixteen vote i've said that numerous times before and i would say that that is true but you haven't condemned putin specifically you hold him personally responsible well i would because he's in charge of the country just like i consider myself to be responsible for things that happen in this country so certainly as the leader of a country you would have to hold him responsible yes. so trounce facing a firestorm in washington but what do ordinary americans think you have used in the travel to trump country in tennessee where she found out that most people aren't too concerned. donald trump is getting an easy right here in tennessee the uproar

over his summit with vladimir putin hasn't reached this range cowhorse classic the writers getting ready to compete think the talks were nothing to worry about they're happy to see trump talking to putin and think you probably did a good job or at least tried his best i think that no matter who is in office somebody can always do a better job and they're always going to be criticized for whatever they do. i do feel that president term does have our best interest at heart. i think that is mr personality it could have been handled better i am impressed with the fact that he like most presidents in the past are human and make mistakes and he's willing to admit it and come back and attempt in his fashion to fix some. skepticism in trump heartland also runs deep of how the media is portraying the summit with putin and why politicians are bickering over it. republican state senator paul bailey says there's simply not enough information to judge tom's performance there's just

a lot of speculation out there from others especially those politicians that want to criticize the meeting but in reality we do not know exactly what took place behind closed doors and i'm assuming that it was a good meeting and i'm assuming that our president basically was very pro-american and and he certainly let president putin know that. but some republicans have condemned trump for what democrats say was disgraceful or even treasonous appearing to believe in adversaries denial of election interference over information from his own intelligence service says the republican leadership has been frustrated by the putin trump summit because they. think it's given democrats more fodder to rally their base around they would prefer voters to be thinking about things like the tax reform plan passed last year as well as the strong state of the u.s. economy as november's mid-term elections come up they're hoping that the scandal surrounding this summit will blow over quickly but trump supporters here never

thought it was a problem to begin with they don't think putin is taking him for a ride all right i'm going to hand you over to gear up because the e.u. is preparing to stand up for its auto industry carrots rise and also today manufacturers' suppliers and car dealers and foreign diplomats are testifying at a washington hearing to try to head off the u.s. terrace at the same time u.s. workers of foreign carmakers are taking to the streets of washington to demand an end to the tariff tariff war of the president would stay say is in danger in their jobs the u.s. car industry estimates that hundreds of thousands of u.s. jobs are in danger if trump goes ahead with levies on car imports. this plant in the mexican city of sea level is run by american multinational general motors each year it produces four hundred times and pick up trucks destined for the u.s. market. it's just the kind of operation u.s.

president donald trump has tried to clamp down on he wants american carmakers to produce at home. but such protectionist rhetoric often overlooks the importance of america's own export markets staying with the example of general motors some five thousand of the company's employees in the united states produce parts which are assembled in mexico. if the united states follows through on its threat to impose tariffs on car imports the cost of pickup trucks in the u.s. would be very likely to increase for general motors that could mean job losses in both mexico and the united states and that's just one example of the potentially disruptive effect of the protectionist measure. the lines of automobile manufacturers which represents several major car makers is due to voice their concerns at a public hearing on thursday the group says higher tariffs could result in hundreds of thousands of job losses in the united states and increase the price of u.s.

vehicles by eighty three billion dollars annually. american workers employed by international. have gathered in washington to protest against. the very people president promised to protect. well they say they are concerned about the u.s. economy because they are convinced that imposing these tariffs would do harm to the u.s. economy that it's like introducing new taxes and they also say that they are proud of their industry that the car industry is striving and that there is no case here you know that the u.s. president has repeatedly made the argument that the foreign carmakers. export

less cars to the yes and more cars here but this workers here say they're that's what's happening right now we are concerned about our jobs and so we want to have more opportunities to produce more cars and to export more cars. it's quite bizarre isn't it american workers demonstrating against the u.s. carmakers begging congress to stop times on foreign competitors is there anyone left in the us. you know in this hearing today there is only one expert in favor of the tariffs forty six x. forty four experts will be arguing to terrorists there have been many written statements issued about this topic and we have to say that the vast majority of the voters would like to see the president negotiating new agreements trade agreements rather than imposing tariffs and there are more and more republican lawmakers who

are threatening to block the president's attempt to impose tariffs on national security grounds. thank you very much. now you might not have seen pigs fly but how about the whale first of his new striking beluga x. x l f right as took to the skies from toulouse on thursday employees chose the special livery which makes it look like a friendly beluga whale the aircraft can carry payloads of up to fifty one tons that's the equivalent of five london double decker buses it will gradually replace smaller versions already old words for the new guy fleet carries completed sections of aircraft from various production sides in europe to their final assembly line. and that's all your business it's off to lend you so much care and now in

bosnia-herzegovina they're known as the invisible children conceived when enemy fighters raped their mothers during the bosnian war of the nineties many have found themselves stigmatized by society and overlooked by the government while now in their mid twenty's some of them are fighting for their rights we have this exclusive report now from abbas in capital sorry a. twenty four year old i know usage was conceived when a croat soldier raped her mother during the war in bosnia growing up after the conflict without a father surname was enough to mark ajna as an outcast. gets a class project children born of war aren't recognized as victims of war in bosnia and that often leads to discrimination. and i just program for incidents of the most common problem these kids face during their upbringing is with documents.

that's because their documents have names missing on them so these kids have problems and they want to start university. now i know is publicly defying social stigmas and challenging bureaucratic barriers she co-founded the forgotten children of war bosnia's first ngo linking children of rape so they can lobby together for recognition. twenty five years after the war our goal is to let these children come out and let both the bosnian state and society know that we exist so that we get legally recognized by the government. n g o for war children is itself in its infancy across bosnia fifteen members have joined so far but founders are searching for more allen movie was conceived want to serve a soldier raped his mother in one thousand nine hundred eighty three these children born of ethnic cleansing are now working together to break lingering ethnic

barriers. long before i met anya i knew there were more of us. there was only a matter of time until we finally met at a table and shared our stories and experiences. it's not known how many children of war there are in bosnia today some estimate that twenty thousand women were raped during the conflict and that around four thousand of them had children as a result. many rape survivors kept the assaults and their children's paternity a secret women like alina. proceed to consider them after my child was born i hate her because i was afraid i thought someone would take her away or tuck or kill her . alina who asked to speak anonymously was twenty three

when an enemy soldier raped her she didn't tell her daughter but she learned the truth from her mother's police report that she discovered by chance. i know i know to think of you since she found days has she was conceived my daughter has been driven by raich rage against society of rage because she is an outcast they swept us under the rug as if none of us has ever happened they denied it when we showed ourselves they only talked about us when they needed something like our votes when there are elections. by asserting themselves publicly bosnia's invisible children can become a symbol of progress for the country a bridge towards ethnic reconciliation and societal progress but if ignored these young men and women can become another symbol of a society stuck in a cycle of post-war divisions and zero sum ethnic politics. but for

now voices like i know as are the only ones breaking the silence about bosnia's invisible children. is the state doesn't want to talk about it somebody needs to that's why i feel responsible if i've started something i need to see it through to the end it's the only way to finally achieve peace after all that's happened. to me . so many other stories making news around the world. an earthquake rattled mexico city this morning prompting residents to rush out onto the streets the tremors triggered the city's quake alarm there are no reports of casualties from the five point seven magnitude quake the epicenter was in the southern state of war haka. the government of turkish president juan has lifted the country's states of emergency it have been in effect says a failed coup attempt to years ago tens of thousands of opposition leaders were fired or arrested during that time the government has already proposed

a stringent anti-terrorism bill to replace the measure. the european commission has referred hungary to the e.u. court of justice for refusing to comply with european asylum rules that's after hungry withdrew from a un agreement to manage global migration on wednesday the e.u. executive also said hungry needs to change laws criminalizing those who help asylum seekers spain have presented recently as the new coach of the national team while this comes after spain's bumpy ride at the world cup where they fired their previous head coach just a day before the tournament in russia started well now a spanish football federation have placed their fate in the former barcelona coach and player who has signed a two year deal and ek is looking forward to the challenge ahead but he also made sure to address the burning issues in the spanish team at the end failing. i mean

i'm just there are many things we need to improve but there won't be any sort of revolution but the team does have to evolve they're going to be changes but not in the sense that a thirty year old player just because of their any age will be dropped i don't care much about age i care about performance but saying time we're going to give some younger players a shot in the team to come across an. r. and a before we let you go one remind you of our main story this hour israel has passed a highly controversial law that explicitly defines the country as the jewish national homeland the move triggered protests from arab lawmakers and prime minister benjamin netanyahu called the bill a defining moment for zionism. you've been watching the news on land rock and berlin on behalf of the news you think you so much for spending this part of your day with us the news continues at the top of the out.
