Absolutely and many other israeli leaders its important to note that the International Criminal Court Prosecutor is also saying that there is a reasonable basis that during the war in 2014 that members of hamas and other Palestinian Armed groups committed war crimes by targeting civilians and torturing individuals israeli officials have been quick to respond they anticipated this decision by the i. C. C. Prosecutor this is a Holiday Weekend but even so the attorney general released a report outlining israels legal argument and a spokesman with the Foreign Ministry got reporters on the phone and said the following that palestine is not a state that israel is not a party to the International Criminal court and therefore this case lacks jurisdiction Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the i. C. C. With this decision has turned quote the i. C. C. Into a Political Tool to deal and to to my eyes israel this is a dark day for truth and justice the i. C. C. Prosecutor has apparently decided not to dismiss a drug the palestinian claim against the state of israel this is a baseless and a religious decision the court has no jurisdiction in this case the i. C. C. Only has to or stiction over petitions submitted by sovereign states but theres never been a pounds to state. This yahoo adds that the prosecutor or woman has not only quote ignored our legal arguments but our history and our truth he says she says that jews living on their ancestral homeland is a war crime and he says that this territory we have a valid legal claim to it and that these issues were supposed to be resolved during negotiations between israel and the Palestinian Authority netanyahu vows to continue to speak out about this he says this is a travesty of justice and he whipped out a letter to World Leaders today natasha going to him there for us and western is still bringing you more on that later on this hour but moving on to other news now and huge numbers of people in india defying a police ban on public gatherings to demonstrate against a controversial citizenship at all rallies are being held in new delhi and elsewhere against that law that opponents say is anti muslim violence has erupted in several cities in pradesh state and lock now offices were seen hitting people with sticks after a Police Station was damaged a curfew remains in place in the southern coastal city of munging nuru where at least 2 protest as was shot and killed during confrontations with police on thursday and in new delhi thousands have gathered outside the jumma masjid thats one of the countrys largest mosques theyve also gathered outside a university which saw violent clashes on the weekend students there are calling for the new law to be scrapped so has more from new delhi.

Citizenship law but also on the freedom of expression and the need for people now they are seeing is to stand up for the constitution while the british the British Parliament has voted in favor of Boris Johnsons plan for britain to leave the e. U. Next month for more lets go to the in our european broadcast center. Feels like quite a big turning point over here it took 3 failed parliamentary votes a change of leadership and a general election before a plan was passed by the house of commons today but with Boris Johnson you have the majority friday result was never really in doubt it means the u. K. Will quit the e. U. At 11 pm g. M. T. On the 31st of january paul brennan our ports. Minister to move 2nd leading Prime Minister to move 2nd reading. There is a new mood in the u. K. House of commons the knife edge bricks and votes of the autumn are now ancient history the tension replaced by political inevitability and in front of the newly expanded ranks of conservative m. P. s Boris Johnson was enjoying the moment history will record the 1st act of this new parliament in its earliest days was to break the ice floes and find a new way through a new passage through the unsuspected oceans of opportunity his parliamentary majority means that Prime Minister Boris Johnson can now press ahead with his vision of bracks it the new law will prohibit any trade talks extension beyond december 2020 and it weakens parliamentary scrutiny of the executive clause on protecting workers rights has been removed and a previous commitment to receive unaccompanied child refugees has also been watered down. Critics and opponents say the changes show the Prime Minister cant be trusted for all the promises over the past few weeks that they are the party to protect rights at work at the very 1st opportunity they removed the basic provisions they said would be part of this bill that does not bode well freshman emphatic election victory the Prime Minister has little need to contemplate the critics or like his opponents but he will have to consider the voters especially those who switched from labor and in his words lent the conservatives their support in the election the simple fact though is that johnson has the numbers with him the eyes of the right 358 knows the land at 234. 00. Built his bill will become more in january paul brennan. Westminster. Or challenges following the story as well joins me in the studio now and with Boris Johnsons landslide election victory this bill was always expected to parkes easily but nonetheless how would you describe the mood in Parliament Today feels like a new era this acceptance that bracks is going to happen well i was down there in westminster today and i have to say it felt very subdued you know you know on previous votes of this magnitude in the holbrooks it saga there have been flags and protestors and there was none of that today you know its quiet the battle is over basically and believers of comprehends everyone there remain as a licking their wounds and the one hope that remain as i think i left with is that perhaps Boris Johnsons clear majority gives him the ability to tack more centrally to be a bit more like he was as as the london liberal centrist metropolitan. And deliver a softer but i have to say the signs are not pointing that way what Boris Johnson is doing at the moment or has done with his revised version of this of this Withdrawal Agreement is to strip out a lot of of the concessions that the reason may have to give to the remain as when she was in a weak position hes a strong Prime Minister now so hes taking those things out so you know this safeguarding of workers rights its gone Environmental Standards gone and hes making its almost impossible for anyone to tamper with the dates now so. Its going to be a shrine in law or the january 31st is the exit date and then at the end of december 2020 once the transition period is over there will be no more extended so just just explaining in terms of what happens next we go into this transition period when nothing really changes in the relationship between you came in you except that we are officially out of the Political Institution here its it breaks it but actually breaks it probably doesnt begin until the end of the end of next year basically and that year next year 2020 is going to be spent in for unethical activity as the u. K. Does what looks at the moment to be seemingly impossible to negotiate and put in place a new trade deal with the European Union trade deals of that size usually take many many years but the u. K. Is going to try and do it in the space of a year and you know this is the thing with the with Boris Johnson saying the transition transition period will not be extended hes basically self imposing a deadline. That he doesnt really need to do and if the task is too much and that trade deal cant be negotiated then at the end of 2020.
