5:04 pm
national security this morning. and in light of that information, this member of the party says he believes now is not the time to replace the defense minister, defense minister, or former defense minister. your god has yet to receive a formal dismissal letter. and val, just here, as i'm at, hasim has more from the protest, seen telephone. if we are talking about the grotesque test, we can see here behind me, thousands and thousands of protesters from this main square and tel aviv was the place for every saturday's protest here. it looks we are expecting also a one big protest or at 8 pm local time. they are expecting more than a $150000.00 people to gather in this square, to keep the pressure on, on the prime minister in the studio and the coalition, the governing coalition here in israel, which is now in disarray, so to speak out what we have latest now that there'll come talks among the
5:05 pm
coalition, only the minister of the national security and been fear is holding his ground, refusing to accept or to accept the one it is to now supposed to announce which is not much foreman of this reforms in the canadian and so may tell me i was supposed to speak at 11 am. we are still waiting for pm latino to give his speech as 5 hours now. since that was announced at 11 am, we still don't hear from him by what those people feel. they feel now empowered the generals drive that took main sectors in these riley government. it becomes now i'm source of power source of a support for those protestors who have been here every saturday for 12 weeks. they are there feel now the support of the state of israel and not the government and our pushing for more. i'm pushing for more. what when we talk to those protesters
5:06 pm
here on this square, what they want is not a postponement on the reform plan. not more talks with the opposition about this reform plan. they want this reform plan to be dead. they don't want to see it any more. well actually i spoke to you to see bay lean, who's a former israeli justice minister. he says the judicial changes must be with of course it is a threat to our democracy. and the idea of changing the rules of the game by weakening it in a very consequential way. and the judicial is a big mistake. and a house is well already, economically, policy wise and whatever. but on the other hand, it day expose the strength of our democracy and defect that hundreds of thousands, not tens of thousands,
5:07 pm
hundreds of thousands of people are getting out taken to the streets in protesting against the weakening of the court of the supreme court. especially bruce that day, just to lay the majority the elections. it doesn't mean that you are allowed to change the rules of the game. you may change policies, but you cannot change they so so easily. the rules of the game, what the constitution is going to defend the rights of the people. i mean, the rights of these railey citizens are mainly defended by their duplications of the, of the supreme low, the supreme court. and this is not enough. it has to be part of a something which is, i would say basic, more basic than that. and that is, that should be constitution a we did not the right,
5:08 pm
the constitution mainly because of the gaps between secular and religious in the religious minority in israel. and i'm not sure with something like that would be a possible, a me in the near future. a i was part of the different attempts to write the constitution and a, it was impossible to have a consensus. oh, at least a very large support for something like that. that is why we have basic laws which eventually should create our constitution. ah. in the world news holmes, i use self has been picked as the leisure of the scottish national party. it pages away for him to become the 1st minister and later in the week before the former house secretary won the f. m p. leadership race with more than 52 percent of revolt
5:09 pm
. a ball was triggered after making a staging, suddenly, quite as leader of the party in february at the barber has more from edinburgh. hm . to use if i was made it clear you either unlike michael sturgeon, who said last year that she wanted to use any of the election in scotland as a big factory referendum on independence. he said, that's not really she a truck to cool solution. he prefers a gradualist approach building up more support because of the thought opinion is very good already here in scotland in 2014, of course they voted no to theater more finely balanced at a moment. it also made it clear that his part of the stamps for her, for of scotland being a european, made sure, and returning to the european union that to remind him of scotland voted as a whole against breaks it. so that's another big challenge. how to move towards that goal in becoming his he's talked about social justice. he is somebody who very much believes in the progressive places that nicholas surgeon brought awards on.
5:10 pm
things like climate, things right? come earn equal marriage on things as well, like the younger gender reform recognition reform bill. he is very much committed to that, but it's not clear whether that's going to go anywhere with the you. k government blocking it at the moment as the u. k. is blocking the idea of a referendum you an investigator say they believe war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed by both sides in libya. very fort violations committed by states, security forces and on militia groups could constitute war crimes. they documented cases of murder, rape, enslavement, extra judicial killings, and enforces appearances. they say crimes against humanity such as sexual slavery and torture, have also been committed against migrant molig. trina is in tripoli with more on the findings by you and investigators. they also mentioned by name

5:12 pm

5:13 pm
what passengers right far because of this strike. but also interestingly explaining that some services are still operating. so if you're in berlin, you can use that on the underground. you can use buses, you can use trans, but the main long distance train that work regional train that so with networks are pretty much paralyzed. police are out in full force in kenya's capital after opposition leader writing that would be called for protests against fuel shortages . and the rising cost of living security forces 5 gas at people who are gathering despite a police on raleigh shops have been shot their produce, enjoy guna is following the protesting my we've been sneaking through the c t b and i made a lot of here guys to be open this sunday, the and his convoy and he had supported by his side. they are the months that they
5:14 pm
aren't going ahead with the earlier in the day we had a few kids that were arrested and others a top. and they're still stolen by the, among the protests that has sort of gone away. and now right, loading seems to be making his way to the city. and a lot of. 5 believe and barricades along the way, but at a month that he will make his point across twice a week through until president william brutal is the audience and he's able to bring the cost of leaving down as. 9 as bringing the government posting, which is which many people say is low to the government, is billeted that they want to receive. well, let's discuss this for more now with patients. young g was a political analyst and he's joining us live from now. we'll be thank you for your
5:15 pm
time patients. so as i correspond to and said that the opposition to wants to hold these protest twice a week, despite the band by the government. what impact all the demonstrations having 1st and how widespread ave one. i think though, i thank you so much for having me. my name is specious young as they're ready to get it. i what got their decision of me? there were many kenya as executive director, and i also do political analysis. so as it is now, the protest are happening in most parts of the country. oh, the hotspot being the robi onto the sophomore city. and so as it is now, we have seen in iraq be they have more depressed investor retails with in a robbie kong, glory. and now they're headed to town by a key b, rob, which is on as a hot sport, most of the time. and as she said it be, surely we have already seen that there is a little destruction that is happening. journalists have been attacked within the sir may. hm. that has been happening since the morning, and some of them have been arrested and an a many people have lost. i mean have closed the shops, people have lost property, so it's already happening and mr. blessing the country. there is also the
5:16 pm
announcement that this protest will continue and it will happen every monday and thursday. and then the dish is really about to you seeing the cost of living. and of course, the cost of living is affected by various parameters including, you know, all of this that is wanting right now. everyone complains we have just had a transition government, we've moved them from the previous government as the 8 months now and viet opinions . and i will say led by the opposition, a leader re loading our feel like we see lots making progress. right. did you teach on the promises that we had had not, we know we can see much and that's why these are called for quarters. now to really tight and see that the current government, which is government led by them, pres that i will, your router brings down the cost of living. so that's really the major issue as it is now, let me go speak. i have another reason as to why let me just pick up on something patience. he said there concretely, what has the rising cost of living meant for people who has been affected and how
5:17 pm
have they been affected? well, as it is now, you will realize that what, but the biggest, the promises that were meant during campaign was we're gonna, we're going to bring down the cost of living as it is now. and as of this morning we have had them it or the rise of the costs approval. and the rising cost to power, which now will increase by succeed percent. and yet that promise was made very clear as we get into government who literally just the cost of living and everyone and disparate. and that this going to be a better life if things which come down. we have an ogre in kenya, which is that my st. clair and oh golly is made out of that and which is really less of system for food that we all a cause you almost a day to day basis and there was a promise that there was some, should've been the cost of all guys going to come down as when the new government comes into place, but that has not also happened. the people are looking at the just the basic needs, you know, the basic class every day. and of course, when you have the cost of who well the cost of power. everything us is affected including grant, including basic life change. so everyone feels like we have had
5:18 pm
a new government that had promised so much. yet we still are seeing that there is no improvement in the cost of living. if anything based constants raise and an announcement that is, everything is going to be raising, you know, in a given percentage. and people feel frustrated when you say every one. i'm trying to get a sense of who's protesting. because again, the protests are being led by the opposition leader, rayleigh dinger. so when you say everyone, is it opponents of the government, or is it an canyon's out every day canyon's regular canyon to protesting against the cost of living and, and what has the government said or done to address peoples grievances? well, at this point i will say when we, i mean we talk about that people who are promised much for people who are we the government for example. whoa, whoa, follow as of the k ebay thing at kwanza, which is the ruling party right now. of course, there's some people who are frustrated in terms of, you know, paid political, a loyalty. people probably well feel, we know we have,
5:19 pm
we have the present to become the president but yet have not been divided. and then when you come to that was each on even that was shown to have their own promises of the may to, to king as to how the government accountable. and so there is a constant agitation in terms of, you know, we're hoping that this government access to a different level as part the promises. but we don't see that and we'll talk about they don't like the cost of leaving anyone is affected. whether you are the political class, whether you owe bucket class or whether you are the common, you know, as we say in kenya. mama bulger, which is the woman who really goes to the market every day to faithful her children escalation and inflation rate that happens affect the whole early beyond basic needs in a family. so we're saying that it is now is really the cost on prestige and about even that m officials that are happening today if they continue like with it affects every person who is walking may be a tomboy, was chosen not to go to work because of one reason or another and also hearing the security, what is happening at that level of security that he quizzes. i naturally affects businesses where example. so what i say aaron is frustrated, is that we have greedy and not women
5:20 pm
a huge population. i do remember what happened during section is we had almost a, an equal number of people who are watching the to do the 2 main political parties. so if the mail, the parties who are supporting the police shall be dodge, right, loading for one. or that's a haunted group of 6 point, a number i see explained median, and i have all of them really as the in the position lead on saying we are a frustrated country. we are, did it in again, is this everyone follows that. i've been on this other side of what stood to people who are also promised many things in the government when it comes to bless and that has not happened that to brings it at that level of frustration. so great deal of the wonders if i had to thank you so much patience. we're gonna have to leave it there, but thank you for it. really clarifying the situation in what's happening in canada, patients younger joining us from nairobi, thank you for your time. thank you. very much, still ahead on al jazeera, i show strange mars military leader declares you know, crack down on a pony. ah,
