News. Thank you for this is news Hello welcome to News Day Coming to you live from London Paul Hawkins and Clement Donald with you today coming up the mayor of Jersey City says there's no doubt that the killing of 3 people at a kosher butchers yesterday was a deliberate anti semitic attack is he right Also we'll hear from people who have traveled thousands of miles to the International Court of Justice in The Netherlands to hear about the case against. Chief she's hit back at allegations her country carried out atrocities against the Muslim ranges also business and sport on the way including all the latest from the European champions to find out who's qualified for the round of 16 and as ever if there's anything you want to get in touch with us on the program you can drop us a text or a whatsapp the number plus ball 477-862-8508 extension 5. We're going to start in India where parliament has approved a bill that will give Indian citizenship to immigrants from 3 neighboring countries but not if they are muslim The law makes it much easier for non Muslims from Afghanistan Bangladesh and Pakistan to become Indian citizens but critics are calling the law discriminator e and divisive Let's hear from one of those now Uganda your dad a political activist based in Delhi welcome to News Day Why in your view is this discriminatory. This is a bit to the moment for Indian secular Islam and. What the law does on the face of it it looks like a small technical change what it does is that any illegal immigrant who may have come from Pakistan punk that they should. Not be bigoted in fact that person would be eligible for naturalization parole why did that person is not. What it is for the 1st time Indian citizenship. Which has never been the case this goes against the very foundation of Indian Constitution which guarantees rights to equality it goes against the preamble of Indian Constitution that says India is a secular state it goes against the very idea of India the very foundation on Bill use of our republic what it does is say because Indian nationalists was very secular not interested just very non peril but unfortunately what this law does is to bring it back to a court imitation of many of these very narrow sharpness nationalism but well the ruling be j.p. Ponty are saying and we'll hear from one of them in the next hour of the program is that they are responding to religious persecution that is going on around them in Bangladesh and Pakistan and Afghanistan it would be remiss of the not to respond to that persecution and as those are Muslim majority countries that isn't a religion that's on the persecution they have to react to the people that are being persecuted. The argument is a fraud and 3 to one why if the government of yes concerned about really just sick you should. Why pick up only these 3 countries. Because they have been similar complete and severely just a situation from China a bit that they Britons in street with the Hindus and Muslims and it moment in Nepal. Look if you have to think about. Why I think only of religious persecution because there are other kinds of persecution that they got rid of India has been talking about persecution based on language on region city why exclude that and if you have to get only about really just. Look at it as. They are mostly but this a far from the sects trust us really just as it usually from the Pakistani state the Shia sect also suffered a similar prosecution so the argument actually holds little water it is clearly a So we be sure to give a message would you been happier then if the list had been longer as you say you know if it included x. Other countries another persecuted minority is what would would would have been happy with it then. If India said we are open to any persecuted person from anywhere in the world would I not only be happy I would be proud of St That is my civilization and this is what brought me back and said to the World Congress will really be belong to a civilization which has opened its doors to everyone just what you like but the message that this particular mine man gives is not. Thank you we are Indian and well they would be over there again then their push back against that would be we have in the last 5 years under the foreigners Act which is already law accepted 600 Muslims from Pakistan who say they have been persecuted they've had a very famous Bollywood singer amongst that number as well they say the foreigner foreigners act is a piece of legislation which means that Muslims can come to the country therefore they don't need to be included on this list. Critical function here is to give a special exemption based on religion. And cheek city and ship but there is a special exemption being Crockett and this is not a hypothetical case the keystream referred to is in the northeast India where it has been a mess export us. Into India. Being largely. Muslim in recent count by the government of India in that there were as many as 1900000 persons living there without papers so operationally it is that the took one by Media Watch will be good those who are Muslims will be treated as illegal foreigners This is what we are object to thank you for joining us we'll leave it there sadly the line is deteriorating but we thank you for your time Uganda you deserve who is a political activist based in Delhi and has a say in the next hour we will hear from a leading voice in the ruling b j p party in India as to their reasons for introducing this new law. To. 12 minutes past 6 in the morning here in London as you heard in the news it's Election Day here in the u.k. Polling stations open in just under an hour as always when voting is under way reporting restrictions main that Claire we won't be addressing any of the issues while the voting is taking place I think it's a relief to everyone here thought enough about it quite frankly a lot a lot an awful lot we are going to talk to our political correspondent I believe Jonathan Blake now is Jonathan on the line we're not going to talk to Jonathan like no New Jersey Yeah New Jersey instead where the marrow of the city is said there is no doubt that the killing of 3 people at a kosher butcher yesterday was a deliberate and Semitic attack a police. Officer was also killed in the shootout that followed 2 gunman was shot dead the state's top lawyer the attorney general go big girl has stopped short of calling the shooting anti semitic we can speak Nancy Deborah Lipstadt professor of modern Jewish history and Holocaust Studies at Emory University in Atlanta Georgia good morning to you Deborah good morning 1st of all the authorities I'm holding back from labeling this is I guess on t. Semitic. Presumably feelings in the community not so restrained Well I think what his shirt has come out and the authorities are always you know cautious in what they call something but the killer though there that was a man and a woman the man had written overtly anti-Semitic posts and I think that the video surveillance footage shows that they drove up to that grocery store and when is specifically started firing into the grocery store so it wasn't like they were looking for shelter someplace from the police and happened into a grocery store but they drove approximately a mile I think wants to the store pulled up at the store and began shooting at the store so it was chose it seems to have been that they chose that place they chose that fed you and that would make it certainly anti-Semitic because it is a a kosher grocery store amidst other stores in the neighborhood and what else do we know about the about the man we know that he was a black Hebrew Black Hebrews that many different iterations of black keep Hussam that this is not to say people who are considered quote unquote black who are who are Jews of which there are many many. But Blackie bruiser sect with a claim they are descendants of the Jewish people and not the white people claim that they are and in. Their writings many of them and many streams of the black Hebrew movement have become have expressed overtly anti-semitic sentiments you're stealing our identity you're taking our identity your trying to show who you are not what we are it's better is this because it's a want to do things is part of a broader trend. And I think it's it's both I think it's probably want off in the sense that I don't know that black people's I mean I don't know if this is you know police information our army to go after Jews but it's certainly part of a pattern and the disturbing thing is it's from the right from the left from these different groups such as the Black Hebrews some says Islamist extremists Pittsburgh was certainly from the right man for the far right as was the attack in power way Sandy and San Diego in California this is a different kind of thing so it's it's disturbing in its ubiquitous quality Why do you think why is it happening now why why why I think there are a number of things I think 1st of all that we have in certain cases certainly on the right leaders who facilitate and on the left look you have an election today in your country and the leader of one of your major parties has never met an anti-Semite that he could make common cause with us you know that may be a bit a bit exaggeration but then I speak and I purposely but he certainly has I can cause many anti-Semite Ok Deborah thank you Deborah Lipstadt the press are modern Jewish history and Holocaust Studies at Emory University in Georgia it is news day from the b.b.c.

And they were released during a hearing at the Us Congress yesterday that review predicted that up to 15 for the crashes could occur if Boeing made no changes to the aircraft over its roughly 45 year shelf life the hearing also had the concerns of Ed's pace and he's a former manager at Boeing factory where the 73. When Max is made he said he sent an e-mail to his boss recommending that production should be shut down to expose safety problems following our e-mail requests I want to one meeting with the general manager on July 18th and repeated my recommendation to shut down the factory for a brief period of time when I mention that I've seen operations in the military shut down for lesser safety concerns I will never forget his response which was the military isn't a profit making organization. So Boeing then what have they said have they responded Yes a Boeing thing been very clear they said there's no link between Mr Pace's concerns and the crashes of the 737 Max The company's also said it was very hard on a software fix ofter the Lion Air crash says Stephen Dixon he's the new boss of the f.a.a. He was also grilled on this topic about why they didn't ground the fleet given those concerns id past a from the Wall Street Journal was at the hearing and described his response their explanation is that this is a very pessimistic projection meaning that it gives the largest number it's very conservative so that this number is the outside limit and the head of the agency was asked repeatedly by warmakers if you have been the administrator at the time which was not would you have grounded this aircraft based on this report it was very hard to get a straight answer and he said knowing now what we I know of course I would have but he never was able to say yes even if I had just gotten this report the number was so large and so surprising and so unexpected that I would have acted as to their thank you for joining us with that update the Seuss being Chang from a business that should be with someone now mammals leader has defended her country against allegations of genocide of the u.n.
