these people don't serve the interests of tunisia. these protests started peacefully last week, but public anger has been building since the government raised the price of petrol and other staple items, and introduced new taxes at the start of the year. translation: our demands are the following — suspend the 2018 finance law, return to the original price of goods, and hire one member from every poor family. the government says its top priority is improving the lives of ordinary tunisians. but for another night, there is tension and violence, and massive anti—austerity rallies are planned for friday. sarah corker, bbc news. in syria, at least 85 people have been killed in the past ten days, in a besieged suburb of damascus under rebel control. united nations officials have called the recent upsurge in attacks on eastern ghouta, by government forces, a human catastrophe. the area has been under siege for more than four and a half years, as our chief international correspondent lyse doucet reports, from damascus. the bombs fall ever

seven years on, tunisia's commemoration is bitter sweet. there's pride that this country became a parliamentary democracy of some sort. but frustration, too, that the hopes of 2011 for comprehensive change and prosperity for all, have faded. tunisia was held up as the success of the arab spring but it's shaky. revolutionly zeal remains, even if the optimism of that time is a distant memory. we have heard further about what the protests have been about. the rallies we saw today were split into two groups. we mainly saw people come out in large numbers to commemorate the anniversary of the overthrow of tunisia's former president. but, of course, - what has happened, the past week, can with the protests against the new financial law, introducing austerity measures in the country, we also saw large numbers take to the streets andjoin large numbers take to the streets and join the federal rally to say no against the financial law. and of course, with this anniversary, people must be focussed on whether they feel, you know, that the arab spring h

why is it as a success story well if you compare the conditions in tunisia to those in libya or syria or yemen it still looks great by comparison revolutions in general are messy uncertain if you look at the situation in ukraine after the two thousand and fourteen revolution the transitions are all difficult at least tunisia is not in the civil war get to ukraine but if we talk particularly about tunisia because that's where the arab spring started. in comparison everything is different but if we talk in particular about tunisia the nothing has really changed within the borders of tunisia for the batter and me well i wouldn't say nothing has changed you have groups that are now active in politics that previously were shut out you have different coalitions forming what you don't have is a kind of idealized utopian transition to denmark right you don't take a country that was middle income corrupt and authoritarian and instantly create a somehow rich modern peaceful country it takes a long time to complete that transition tunisia is having problems that's to be expected but it has not y

really you have all of the different actors that have a hand in tunisia future they're all quite concerned at this moment and do you think is benefiting from this disruption on the streets. i don't think anyone is really benefiting from this disruption in unless it resolves itself in these coming days and weeks into some fundamental reforms of the tunisian socio economic. let's say if this goes in the direction of real reforms that addresses the vast majority of tunisians complaints about inflation corruption and monopoly monopolist behavior in their economy then we can see the tunisian people and their fragile democracy actually benefiting if however we as we're already starting to see some reactions by some of the tunisian political class that this is merely an anarchist leftist thuggery then we're not going to get tunisia is not going to get anywhere and the external actors that are outside of to use or that have a real interest in the safety and stability and development of the country are
