Well in the face of opposition and pressure from the government of chile the senate has approved a bill which means citizens have been hit hard by the covert 1000 pandemic and withdrawal cash from the Pension Funds the historic vote will impact on his highly unpopular private Pension System one of the main targets of last years mass protests a latin america editor to see in human reports from santiago. Chileans watched with bated breath as the senate voted to allow them to withdraw up to 10 percent of their pension savings. Its supposed to be an emergency measure to help those hard hit by the pandemic make ends meet. But to many it means much more father to the standard he is who helps out a dissenting soup kitchen says its seen as the 1st significant blow to the countrys most loathed institution the private Pension Fund System because all of us think its like 30 pesos metro fare increase that unleashed october social explosion it was symbolic a group together peoples discontent and thats whats happening again. For president Sebastian Pinera its a stinging political blow made worse because senators of his own conservative coalition helped to prove that condoms to greet the initiative will further reduce chileans already meager pensions i think that. I have time prices governments in particular governments that can borrow like to live or to be paying the bill and i think it is certainly not a very good idea that in the absence of Government People have to pay for the crisis with their own savings. Yet the initiative has overwhelming Popular Support some accuse lawmakers of populism but many others blame the president for people believing its their only option to knock food boxes another government aid plans have arrived late if at all and have been insufficient looked at a lot of. Sense much opposition and even progovernment dip u. T. S. Have been proposing broader measures with less red tape and small print now its too late people go longer trust the governments promises. Allowing people to dip into their savings we have a direct impact on Capital Markets and chiles currency but the alternative also has dangers since the prime barracks started with the area which was known as ground 0 during months of social demonstrations has been fairly quiet but as well supporters and critics of the bill recognize theres a tremendous risk of a rule explosion of a while in demonstrations should the president decide to the bear were sent to the Constitutional Court as he has ever played in the may. Just before the vote a small group of demonstrators defied the lockdown and came out to show their support for the bill they were quickly arrested but they didnt seem too upset apparently convinced that the end is near for a private retirement system that millions of chileans believe takes their money while giving them nothing but paupers pensions in return.

Brazil has reported a record daily increase in corona virus cases of nearly 68000 its the worlds 2nd worst affected country after the us with more than 2000000 infections. Well a german court a court in the german city of hamburg has just given its verdict in the trial of a former nazi concentration camp guard 93 year old brian odea has been accused of complicity in the murder of more than 5000 people during world war 2 the mccain is live for us from len just tell us whats been happening. Well the court has delivered its verdict that this defendant is guilty of the charges presented proffered against him namely that he was complicit in the murder of more than 5000. 00 people at the concentration camp of tough which is now in poland but then it was in inside nazi germany the case the prosecution made was that this defendants physical presence as a member of an s. S. Unit in the camp was sufficient for them to say that he was complicit in those crimes point to make also is that the court that was here. During this trial is delivered this verdict was a youth court because the defendant was 17 when the offenses that he has been convicted of took place which means that the sentence that could be passed on to him is different to that which could be passed by an adult court hes been given a suspended. Sentence now thing what this also what makes this about is that this is likely to be if not the last one of the very last chances that the German FederalJustice SystemJustice System in this country will be able to prosecute people who they accused of crimes during the nazi germany era another thing to point out here is that this individual convicted has he has been of his complicity in crimes in the shutoff camp where many of the other people who were in the units that he was part of in that camp were never prosecuted indeed the man who had been the commandant of that camp was prosecuted by the west German Authorities many decades ago and received 789 year sentence compare that with what were seeing now and many people are asking why is it that so many people who were deeply intimately personally collect personally connected with the mechanism of mass murder were never prosecuted this individual has been prosecuted and has been found guilty doubly what kind of interest has this case being provoking in germany. Well it goes along with the idea i was saying in my 1st answer this idea of how did how does germany come to terms with the crimes that previous generations were guilty of and there are many who say its important that modern germany democratic germany the generation that have no association whatsoever with what took place during the nazi era they. Prosecute those who are still around who could have been prosecuted before but again its worth stressing this individual was interviewed extensively by west German Police in the early 1980 s. They were fully aware of what he had done what he had not done and they didnt do anything about it and it took another 30 years for the successors to those who didnt vested gaited his crimes to decide that what had happened needed to be prosecuted that is what is definitely in the minds of many people right now and for those who suffered at the hands of the nazis suffered at the hands of individuals such as the person convicted today all they say its important that they get their chance to have what happened to them their harrowing ordeal as this their their all deals with their survival that they get their chance in court to confront the people who made them suffer those ordeals and so for them this is just this very late but just this nonetheless as dominic bring us up to date on that from berlin dominic thank you very much indeed.
