you're live with bbc news. there have been more protests in israel, against new legislation aimed at restricting the power ofjudges. the demonstrations came hours after a new bill narrowly passed its first reading in the knesset — the israeli parliament. the contentious bill from the right—wing government of prime minister benjamin netanyahu has already sparked 27 weeks of action by protesters concerned that the move erodes democratic norms. our middle east correspondent tom bateman has been with the crowds — in tel aviv. well, the israeli security forces are still here at ben—gurion airport, but the last of the protesters have now left. and what we've seen here today are really extraordinary scenes. thousands and thousands of protesters here, right up against the terminal of an international airport.
