Welcome back youre watching us here on my names peter davi lets just recap your top stories for you so far british m. P. s have told the Prime Minister Boris Johnson to delay breaks it again m. P. s held their 1st emergency saturday session in 37 years voting to approve an amendment to the government deal with the European Union. The house tens of thousands of protesters swarmed the streets around the Parliament Building there pushing for britain to hold a 2nd referendum many feeling the voters werent properly informed the 1st time around in 2060. Live to beirut because its day 3 of protests in the lebanese capital people that among the demonstrators according to a revolution the Prime Minister. Has accused rival groups and the government of blocking his reforms has given themselves 2 hours to find a solution. Crowds are beginning to return to the streets of barcelona despite catalans Pro Independence leaders call for talks with the Spanish Government right Police Clashed with demonstrators on saturday afternoon at least 60 people were injured in the riots more than half a 1000000 people marched through the city over the jailing of 9 separatist leaders for their role in catalonia as failed independence 2 years ago the Pro Independence quintos call follows a day of violent protests as weve been hearing on friday to Charlie Angela joining us from barcelona charlie is there a sense there that this call for talks discussions are got to happen but not yet. Absolutely ill just tell you a little bit whats happening here. Weve just followed about 10000. 00 relatively peaceful demonstrators in the Central Square in barcelona and you can see them now behind me right now gathered outside the Supreme Court and most of them seem to be on their way to catch the land for them and know that god is the still saying the fight continues and that relates to the sentences that are handed down to the castle and her independence leaders but the cool head now is very different the people ive spoken to say theyve come out today not just independence to protest against Police Brutality and those. And those scenes last night 152 protesters were injured 19 of them still in hospital one in a Critical Condition and on the police side 101 Police Received minor injuries from those bottles and stones that were thrown at them in those pitched battles on the street like spokes into the tires koppels and professionals a very different type of protest of to what we saw late last night and they say theyve come out because they are worried that this country could be sliding into the Police Presence and that is the message tonight but yes on the political side because learning in president kim torah has called for his talks with the Central Government saying that dialogue is needed to end this crisis but he has been rebuffed spains acting president had a scientist refused to take a phone call from to us saying he asked us condemn this violence condemn the violence that was carried out against the Police Last Night before the people here who have as i say been protesting very peacefully up until now thats not going to be enough they are looking for compromise and they want to see that dialogue is coming john thank you. To chile where a state of emergency has been in force in the capital santiago after days of protests against the rising cost of buying a train ticket the Rapid Transit metro system is closed for the weekend off the rioters attacked stations the student loan process which began on monday have since grown into a wider outcry over the cost of living lets talk now to boris van de speck hes the founder of chile today thats an independent news website he joins us from santiago boris fun to spec did the president really have any choice here but to impose the state of emergency. Well not really i think for the last 20 years chile has not seen this amount of violence in the protests. And normally the police and in chile they respond pretty aggressive and yesterday the process was so violent that even the Police Forces had to retreat from the center of something it was pure anarchy was chaos and those scenes the president had no other choice than the clearing a state of emergency and even deploying armed troops to the center of the capital is it an easy proposition is it or is it a big ask to get the president and the government to come up with some sort of fiscal conjuring trick that will defused tensions well its pretty difficult because of course and start of the protest against increased metro fares but at the moment we are seeing at the protests are increasing and also spreading out throughout the country in cities all over the chiller there is moment protesting demonstrating so it has nothing to do anymore with metro fares and also yesterday in a speech on National Television the president said he would talk with the people who are directly affected by the increase of the metro fares but those those things no one solve a lot i think because at this moment its about something way bigger and that is the expensive cost of living the education the pensions everything is very expensive and also unequal here in chile so to do something about this anger. Currently is around in this society is thats a pretty big task for the government i think but when you talk about as well that lack of equality thats one of the big issues i mean any any president or Prime Minister say whos going to solve this problem has to come come up with root and Branch Reform surely because in chile the rich are very very rich and the poor are very very poor. Thats right well i think of course they will have to come up with something that you see that at this moment the authorities both of us as a nation nationwide are baffled by these by these protests no one saw this coming but 1st of all these protests on monday tuesday in a metro s. Some some other student protests their love brought us here and. It in me it erupted that literally if the the level of violence weve seen yesterday was of another level so i really think the authorities at this moment have no idea what to do except for declaring a state of emergency and waiting how this ends because if the other cities as well starting to protest we dont know where then we are definitely going to face another day and night of violence but this could go on for weeks and of course with the summits coming up from the apec and the c o p 25 this could put the pin year a government in pretty bad day life. Thank you very much thank you for coming.

But that in itself became a turning point the moment when his formally overwhelming popularity began to fall serious rallys had to change the constitution to be able to run again 3 put that to the people in a referendum that was close but they said no then he went ahead and did it anyway now hes dealing with the backlash.

Under the government of avon morale is theres been an excessive concentration of power of all the organs of state and the judiciary under him this means that democracy is completely restricted the electoral body for example responded directly to the regime so the democratic system suffered permanent damage that. Its not just what critics say is a slide away from democracy recently bolivia had forest fires that wiped out 5000000 hectares and. Mentally say the governments commitment to pacha mama mother earth is all talk. The laws are fine the problem is that i see theyre not applied the fires in chica tinier were due to policies where they wanted to de forest to plant soya beans and produce meat to export to china at the expense of wildlife and the Indigenous People there are also been accusations of governmental corruption and conflicts of interest and when the administration of president moralist built this 29 storey 34000000 dollar skyscraper you can see which towers above the former president ial palace this pink building in front of it many people saw that as a sign of the governments increasing opulence in what is one of the poorest countries in south america. Despite the missteps many believe ians like you know since you still see morale is the safe way forward.
