From New York, this is democracy now.

What we're doing here tonight is brought that thing and government wants to get all the

power to intel and take all the rights from our citizens.

And this is why we're here, fighting for our democracy.

A general strike is largely shut down Israel following a weekend of massive protests against Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to overhaul the judiciary and his firing of Israel's defense minister.

As hundreds of thousands of Israelis call for preserving democracy in Israel, fewer demanding democratic rights for Palestinians.

We'll go to Tel Aviv for the latest.

Then as the United Nations warned, two billion people lack safe water.

We'll look at the fight to project water across the globe.

Water needs to be at the center of the global political agenda.

All of humanity's hopes for the future, depending some way, on charting a new science-based course to bring the water action agenda to life.

And we'll remember the human rights activists and lawyer Randall Robinson, the founder of TransAfrica, who's died at the age of 81.

He played a critical role in the anti-aparctate movement in the United States.

He was a prominent critic of U.S. policy in Haiti.

In 2004, he helped expose the U.S. role in the coup that ousted Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

The problem is with our democracy.

It wasn't ever with theirs.

That we feel that we, by divine right, can go in and overthrow governments will in LA, when they are living under leadership of their own clear choice.

All that and more coming up.

Welcome to Democracy Now.
