00:00The government is already on the retreat over Palestine. It's also on the retreat
00:05over cuts to disability benefits, over cuts to pensions and over the two-child
00:10benefit cap. When the government is retreating that is a time for the
00:15movement to up its demands. That is a time for the movement to extend and
00:20increase its mobilization and that's why today we have a demonstration over
00:25austerity. We're opening up a new front against this government. There's going
00:30to be thousands of people from the trade unions and way beyond marching against
00:35the cuts and also making the link with the growing militarization. People here
00:39are saying stop the cuts but also we need welfare not warfare.
