6:07 pm
a concentration camp for larger countries. from of the foundation for political economic and social research and believes that a no fly zone will not help to resolve the political crisis. i don't think that no fly zone would be an african way to face with the assad regime because when we see the development of the protests and the brutal crackdown of the city regina against the protesters we see that the syrian regime has been using its its led forces a lot except for occasional use of helicopters to shut down the protesters and the using a no fly zone like the one in libya i don't think would be an official way to face with police the brutal crackdown or to regime strong parallels have been as with the libyan case and the syrian case i think this is a grave error because there are grave differences between the syrian case and the
6:08 pm
libyan kane's when we look at the syrian case i think it's completely different i mean if you look at it's like social fabric or the sectarian lines in syria. you know all groups i mean from the opposition and also the fighting these groups have been living together the syrians or if you get your feet those will let you know a scenario like the one in libya. and now to israel where thousands of demonstrators protesting against social inequality and government spending policy took to the streets of tel aviv again after a nearly two month break his post near brings us the latest. the last demonstration back in september in early september sold a million people come to the streets of the country over nine months was satisfied with that turnout and after that a lot of the protesters many of them are university students return to process and things that didn't take a little bit of it all but said he now what we have seen in the last few hours is

6:10 pm
considerations and the problem has been that the budgetary considerations have been about parties and politics they've been about raising the tycoons who seem to control everything we want the budgetary considerations to consider just a general good of the country here in israel is very very important to realize we are not in economic recession a problem isn't that we don't have enough money problem is that it's being mismanaged the government decisions about what to do the money is bad but gold so that's worth thirty when you hear the cries of people here and really the slogan is the people demand of social justice people here saying that the government consumed what it wants to attract attention but they certainly will not give up on what they say are very legitimate demands. parties are reporting for us there now columnist and writer bradley burston says people are now questioning everything they've previously turned a blind eye to the automatic and and basically behind the
6:11 pm
scenes allocation of resources from many government ministries to new housing developments in the occupied territories maybe very much more difficult to carry out without scrutiny the questioning has a lot to do with transparency the question has a lot to do with what actually is happening with the resources that are going to defense and we're going to the settlements and even if the settlement activity is not blocked the fact of the of the allocations the widespread nature of allocations for many ministries and the nature of the subsidies that go out to the settlements may change people's minds of eventually about the wisdom of continuing to build their millions of russians that lost their life savings in the one nine hundred ninety s. in what proved to be a massive financial pyramid scheme and now it's back its eccentric founder has come
