5:27Now PlayingBangladesh's Supreme Court has drastically scaled back a controversial quota system for government jobs that sparked weeks of unrest and led to dozens of deaths. Thousands of student protesters have taken to the streets demanding the government abolish the quota system, which sets aside about 30 percent of government jobs for the families of veterans who fought in the country's 1971 war of independence. The demonstrators say the job allocations should be merit-based. It's not yet clear how the demonstrators will react to the new ruling, which reduces that quota to 5 percent.
