Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have taken part in what some are calling the biggest protest in the country's history.

Protests against government plans for a radical overhaul of the judicial system have been running for 10 weeks.

Record numbers of demonstrators turned out in cities such as Haifa, while about 200,000 are believed to have taken to the streets in Tel Aviv.

Critics say the reforms will undermine democracy.

But Benjamin Netanyahu's government says planned changes are better for the electorate.
