it was a successful attempt to spread fear it comes almost a year after a terrorist a drove a truck into a berlin christmas market killing twelve people meanwhile islamic state has warned of further attacks on christmas markets across europe in a series of online posts and in the u.k. the threat is being taken very seriously politico expect. prest of trees aren't the only thing being installed in the run up to christmas on the streets of britain you're likely to see decorations christmas markets and an extra dose of concrete new security measures being put in place at festive markets across the country and steel barriers like these around london's winter wonderland are intended to protect pedestrians from i still styled truck attacks for anyone put off by all the steel and concrete this could be the answer or thirty's in the city of whole have come up with this novel way of dressing up their anti terror
8:19 pm
a crash barrier is london's metropolitan police have said that this year the public may see additional protective measures and security checks at festival vents around the capital and it's not just rings of steel and concrete permanent bollards like these have become common place they prevent cars and trucks from entering pedestrians those you feel a bit more cipher see in the police knowing that they will talk of it ok so the extra security visibly makes you feel better from a different way you know we just expect more security everywhere now it's just because that's just fortunately the way of the world. after the deadly terror attacks this year many in the u.k. are feeling vulnerable last week a security alert at london's oxford circus tube station triggered mass panic.

is a political weapon against the government but protesters say that they intend to keep up the pressure until he is forced from office. i think the time has come for a change of government to government is corrupt it was sick of the corruption. yes and i'm sad that we have a corrupt government that needs to be brought down as quickly as possible the prime minister and all of his columnists along with him. to defend democracy and the rule to build a more equal and just society for everyone and the israeli prime minister is under investigation in two separate corruption cases in one he's accused of receiving bribes from wealthy businessmen and in the other he is suspected of reaching a deal with a newspaper in order to secure a favorable coverage we asked a senior correspondent at israel's heritage newspaper and a political science professor at the open university of israel for their views on the crisis. i don't think that the prime minister initiated this piece of
8:22 pm
legislation which was put recently on the table now the only netanyahu that. is worried about the outcome of these police investigations. but certainly there is this sense in laws circles in these that the upper echelons are in fact that with the corruption legislation is just i would say one very critical of course issue to be debated but it is seen by by most of the protesters at just as the tip of the iceberg not as the issue. as the who are these important for the public to be aware of the police having collected all the evidence and waited what day think and if they think that there is no case that's fine too but it is incumbent on the police to let the prosecution and the public
8:23 pm
know what their findings are now obviously it's a transparent move by netanyahu and his political cronies to shield him from public pressure it is probably the lowest ebb of. prime ministership because politically he has been secure in power until you criminal cases started to close around him and that does it for me this hour be back in about twenty six and a half minutes with another look at your weekly you're watching our two international stay with us. i am. i am.
