coming to you live from the heart of moscow this is our city and israeli citizenship law is denying thousands of palestinians the right to permanently settle down with their israeli spouses and children and the government says the law was designed for security reasons but as paula slayer reports it seems the battle against terror could actually be doing more harm than good tearing apart families this is the document that's ruining lana's life it makes no mention of a university degree husband or two children it's simply states she's palestinian and therefore illegal and wanted in israel i have a stay here now but i don't have any rights just to breathe. eat and drink and for me it's not the long. but a lot of chooses this non-life because it's where her husband and children live by law very israeli whereas the rest of her family live across the border in janine palestine. during the week.

thousand palestinians entered israel because of family ties with israelis only fifty four of them were ever found to be a security risk. in upholding the so-called citizenship law the israeli supreme court president said it was one of the most difficult questions in the state's history the battle against terror while at the same time maintaining the nation's democratic nature we are talking about thousands of family that as a result of the decision of the supreme court that validated upheld the law they are now living under the tangible threat of being forcibly separated from their spouses from their children from their parents so we are indeed talking about a huge issue with a huge effect of thousands of people this law is thinking about it. i mean one of. degree before having your

very clear a jewish state but in the meantime it threatens to tear families apart as larn interests now face the very real danger that they might not be able to continue living together policy r.t. israel. nearly time for kareena with the business but for now is the world update some of the global news in brief and germany's finance minister has been caught on tape saying that portugal's bell plan may need to be revised once a second bailout for greece has been finalized the comments came at a meeting with other eurozone ministers the first acknowledgement from a high level year official that portugal may need more time and money to get its economy back on track the country received a seventy eight billion euro bailout last april and since fallen into a deep recession. pakistan's supreme court has rejected an appeal by the prime minister against a contempt of court charges yourself. will be charged unless he agrees to reopen
