5:12 pm
radicals or more violence from the occupiers a lot of these people or a special educator is a good number of these people are radicals no doubt about it you might ask how radical was this elderly woman in a wheelchair who was tear gassed by police or jasper father of two who's working on his ph d. at the university of california berkeley you know they characterize you know it's a big. perspective well. marja. and radical fringe in order to discredit it this moment really is about all americans it's not just about equal that is a story in whole or this is about now it's to the middle class that is starting to feel the impact of corporate greed that has run this country for so long as the movement grows bigger and more structured it's becoming harder to ignore the message of the campaigners who call themselves the ninety nine percent and protest against corporate quine and government complicity protesters tens march through and
5:13 pm
throughout the country there will be more the movement is only expanding several weeks ago police crackdown on protesters with pepper spray this week it was carrying gas and stun grenades protesters now want to hit big business where it hurts a general strike next week commanding banks and corporations shut down for a day but will the police response be anyone more brutal crackdown i'm going to check our reporting for washing our teeth. israeli airstrikes on gaza have killed at least ten palestinians in response to rocket attacks in the jewish state that left one dead and it's the worst outbreak of violence in weeks following a successful prisoner swap deal between television us of his posts here is the latest from israel. one of the concerns people have is that among the hundreds of palestinian prisoners who are still in israeli jails and from still need to be released as part of that prisoner exchange deal that saw one israeli soldier return
5:14 pm
to israel in exchange for more than a thousand palestinian prisoners many of the palestinian prisoners who still need to be released along to the democratic front for the liberation of palestine and that is one of peace palestinian groups that has claimed responsibility for a number of these rockets that have been fired into israel in recent days so there are many people here saying that this does jeopardize that prisoner exchange deal and that it will be almost a convenient excuse for the israelis not to release the hundreds of palestinian prisoners that it is still committed to release as part of their deal there were more than twenty thousand people that took to the streets of tel aviv they were not surprised by the violence they say that this is something that has happened in the past and it is the government's way of detracting attention away from domestic problems in circuit if you look at the international media coverage the international media was much more focused on what was happening in terms of security concerns and on israel's border with gaza than on what was happening domestically here and this is exactly what protesters say they say that they want
5:15 pm
money to not be strained so much on the on the defense budget for cuts there to be made so that more money can be saved domestically and certainly this increase in violence and the government's response in terms of the fact that it is going to give gaza a harsh hand to tracks attention away from what people here say is the ongoing situation where they have very real demands that are more often than not overshadowed by the excuse of security concerns. of middle east correspondent paula slee they're staying with television where a court sentenced a former israeli soldier to four half years in prison for releasing classified military documents some of the league files detail military officials are proving yourself a nation of palestinians in the west drawing but those claims are only being investigated started brushy says that undermines israeli law. in this case a whistle blower blew a loud and disturbing whistle the military is violating international law and the directives of the israeli supreme court in carrying out assassinations in
5:16 pm
situations in which they are required to try to make an arrest and so the state attorney's office prosecuted the soldier but failed to seriously investigate the conduct revealed in those documents conduct with raises serious questions about rule of law in a democratic system that pattern of behavior violating by the supreme court because of the supreme court said that it said you must try to arrest is part of a pattern of practice within the israeli system and it's something that's very disturbing because when the army does not obey the orders by the supreme court the supreme court is actually more reluctant to issue those orders because no court wants to issue orders that are going to be ignored and then of course you have a serious threat to the rule of law because in a democratic system the army is of course supposed to listen to what usually system tells them to do. news russian cargo ships on his way to the international space station delivering tons of supplies for the orbiting crew two months after its predecessor crush the pictures.
