Mass protests against Israel's judicial reform hit 15th week

STORY: Drone footage shows how the mass crowds overflow a Tel Aviv main junction that's become the main location of protests as they come to their 15th consecutive week.

Critics of the reform plans, who range from the business elite to former military officers, say the overhaul will hurt democracy and hand uncontrolled powers to the government of the day.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on on trial on graft charges he denies, says the changes are needed to rein in activist judges who have interfered in political decision making.
