Underside hidden from view. Human Rights Groups are dismayed, as are relatives, at the thousands that have been arbitrarily arrested. Peace may have come to el salvador, but at what price . Teacher audelia has lived here since the late 1990s la campanera in the capitals notorious soyapango district. More than 20 years ago, rival gangs the ms 13 and the 18th Street Gang took control of neighbourhoods across the country. They became, in effect, no go areas for outsiders and the police. Thousands were murdered or caught in the crossfire. And in those years of the growth of the gangs, can you explain to us what it was like living here . But in the last 12 months, audelia has witnessed the change on these streets that she never thought possible. For the past year, el salvador has been living under an Emergency Measure called the state of exception. Police and military have been mobilised in vast numbers and some Constitutional Rights suspended. Defeating the gangs was one of the main election promises of nayib bukele, a former Marketing Executive turned president. So, whats the policy meant on the streets . In the suburbs of san salvador, another Security Patrol is about to set off. Every day for a year, dozens of police, soldiers and elite troops have been sent into the back streets of the capital, carrying lists. They search anyone with a possible profile or tattoos of a gang member. Its alleged that some officers have been given daily quotas for arrests. Others are sent to specific houses, often using anonymous tip offs. Dog barks. This neighbour explains the person theyre looking for has already been arrested. But this ruthless new Security Policy hasnt brought peace to everyone in el salvador. In this small rural community, ive come to meet marcela. She tells me about the moment the police swept into their village last year. Her Sonjose Duval was working in the fields. Jose was arrested under a charge being widely used by the police during this crackdown. Unlawful association has been criticised by Human Rights Organisations for its broad interpretation. It justifies arrest on the grounds of being even indirectly connected with a gang. Did he have any Gang Affiliation that they accuse him of . This is like a petition, signed by members of the community tojose duval� s good character, to his lack of involvement in any gang activity, signed by all of the neighbours in the village. There must be 100 or so of them, and she says she has more inside. Do you have any information at all about how hes doing inside . Have you been able to see him at all . Marcelas greatest fear is that jose may end up here a new Mega Prison Built to house gang members. President bukele ensured these carefully choreographed images made headlines across the globe. More than 65,000 people have been arrested in just 12 months, making el salvador� s Prison Population proportionally the highest in the world. Do you think that you will have the strength to get through these next months . Marcela is not alone. Its the one Year Anniversary of the state of exception. In the capital, hundreds of families are taking to the streets. Chanting. They say that their loved ones have been detained arbitrarily in flagrant abuse of their human rights and of the constitution. They say they havent heard from them, have no information about them, and simply dont know when or if they will ever be let out again and there are people here whove lost loved ones in prison, too. Outside the National Assembly building, the protesters call for the release of their detained relatives. Yelling. They can only imagine the poor conditions inside the prisons. But one woman has agreed to talk about her experience. Dolores a union leader and single mum was at home when she received an unexpected knock at the door. Do you think your arrest was related to your Union Activities . Dolores was not told the grounds of her arrest one of the rights suspended under the state of exception. It wasnt until days later that she realised she was being charged with unlawful association. Soon after, she was sent to prison. Can you tell me what that experience was like . While dolores was in prison, her teenage daughter had to care for her five siblings. Union members protested tirelessly against her sentence. After seven months, she was released. The government says that the International Committee of the red cross makes regular visits to assess prison conditions. Critics say targeting Union Leaders like dolores shows the president is using the Emergency Measure to undermine potential opposition. I put this to his Vice President , felix ulloa, in an exclusive interview. You have made it sound very innocent, very light, but the truth is, it grants some extremely draconian powers to the police, that they can arrest you merely on an anonymous phone call, merely for having tattoos, merely for suspecting that you have an association with illicit gang activity. What you said is not true. I mean, the police, didnt go, or didnt went to the communities to capture people because they have tattoo, or because there is an anonymous phone call, no. Its not like that. This is a lie that has been spread overfor the political position in el salvador. The truth is that when the police go to capture a person in a community, its because they have the profile. Nevertheless, Human Rights Organisations and many others, including the families of many of those who been arrested, say they have been arrested with absolutely no link to gain crime, that there are thousands of people in prison. It could be, when you handle an operation of this size, there will be some mistakes and some people could be arrested with no link with the gangs. And how do you feel about that . You are admitting on camera that there are thousands of people, potentially thousands of people innocent. And thousands of people have been released. We are aware, as you said, that some people, probably innocent people could be part, but as i said, the perfect is enemy of the good. We are doing something really good, appreciated by the population, over 90 of the population agree with the state of exception, and they want to be extended. His policy has brought bukele unprecedented levels of support in el salvador. With a series of high impact, headline grabbing orders captured by his well oiled media machine, mr bukele is now trying to wipe away any trace of the gangs from public view, even destroying gravestones with gang symbols on them. Hundreds of former gang safe houses are also being reclaimed. With the help of low interest loans, they are passed on to localfamilies, like audelias. If the president does stand for re election, will you vote for him . 100 kilometres away, marcela is also taking me to see a new house. Hola. Its the one her sonjose was building for his wife, his daughter and the baby son he is yet to meet, born after he was sent to prison. Despite opponents saying its unconstitutional, president bukele is expected to stand for re election in 202a. His Security Crackdown should make him unassailable at the polls. But are thousands of families like marcelas paying the price . Hello, this is dylan with the catch up. Tonight, all things foot tall, new bsl signs and dogs. First, a big weekend for full all.

It is shaping up to be yet another unsettled weekend of weather but that doesnt mean its going to be raining all the time far from it. While it will be showery and quite breezy, therell be some drier spells, too. In fact, parts of the south and the east are going to see the driest of the weather, furthest away from the centre of this area of low pressure that is what will be driving the showers over the weekend. And see all the white lines, the isobars squeezing together . That shows that we are going to have some quite brisk winds, particularly around western coasts. A band of rain through the morning pushing its way northwards and eastwards across scotland. Northern england seeing some of that, maybe parts of wales. Behind that, sunny spells and showers, some of them heavy and thundery. A few showers breaking out down towards the South East Corner but actually, a decent amount of dry weather to be had here. So, theres confirmation of what will be a breezy, indeed quite windy day around some western coasts. Temperatures a little down on where they have been. The warmest weather in Eastern England at 2a degrees, more generally around 16 22. Operational will be reviewed and then, as we head through saturday evening, well continue to see some showers, particularly across the north and the west of the uk. Some areas of cloud, some clear spells, too, and another relatively warm night 12 15 degrees. So, for sunday, our area of low pressure just continues to swirl, centred close to the north west of scotland, so that will be driving the showers. This frontal system here to the south west, thatll be running in later in the day. So, some spells of sunshine to be had but also some showers, maybe some longer spells of rain at times for Northern Ireland and western parts of scotland. And then, late in the day, some cloud and perhaps some rain into the far south west of england, maybe the far south west of wales. Temperatures between 18 and 23 degrees. Breezy again perhaps not quite as windy as on saturday. Now, through the coming week, low pressure will be with us initially but then, it looks like High Pressure will build for a time and, actually, as that high shifts eastwards, it may be that we start to pick up a feed of slightly warmer air from the near continent. The big question mark is about how quickly this area of low pressure then swirls in from the west to turn things unsettled once again. But signs are that as we head through the coming week, there will at least be some drier and warmer weather on the way for many of us.
