Israel Protesters Block Airport & Highways Over Judicial Reforms

Israeli police have clashed with protesters amid huge demonstrations against the government's controversial judicial reform plans. Police used water cannon to clear a major highway, and 71 people have been arrested across the country. It comes after a bill to remove the power of the Supreme Court to review ministers' decisions passed its first reading in parliament on Monday night. The reforms have polarised the country, sparking months of mass demonstrations.
