When the front goes down here in fact there. Is an ominous and researcher specializing in identity politics in iraq he says a year after the protest Movement Began it still remains possible. Iraq after your tobar revolution is not the same iraq as before the october revolution they use is very well organized its very theyre very aware of youthful revolutions is a usenet Grassroots Movement that is standing up against the political elite whether it is and the government and the militias or Political Parties that are governing or controlling or influencing the iraqi political arena and economics from beyond the Government People activists peaceful activists where so far getting directly there was still kidnapped and assassinated throughout the past month just as were the b. One year commemoration of the anniversary of the whole the revolution not much has changed maybe in the early stages of the hoover revolution last year we saw the resignation of the Prime Minister and the announcement of a possible as i nation by the president these are symbolic achievements of youth process moving home a revolution in iraq yet we dont have just the changes were told or lucian currency is not only focusing on our giving be medical status quo in iraq but its also demanding justice off the chill of the assassinated Peace Process there were 600 peaceful purposes was killed since last year Prime Minister the most the hotel to me promise to set up a committee to investigate the behind the assassinations of those Peaceful Protesters and nothing has been put forward to the public appeal. To chile now where polling stations are open for historic referendum on whether to change the constitution mass protests started last year led to the referendum demonstrators want an end to a dictatorship era constitution that they say promotes social inequalities more than 14000000. 00 people are eligible to vote if approved a Constitutional Assembly would be chosen in april next year lets bring in america editor lucien human whos live for a scene in santiago so loose here historic vote today but its happening of course in the time of coronavirus tell us 1st about the turnout whats has it been like. Hi there well we are now in a low Income Neighborhood in downtown santee at all and weve seen a very large turnout after 7 hours since the polls will 1st open at this hour that elderly people have a preference so were seeing some of the elderly coming some of them in wheelchairs others in the in chains people of all ages really but it has been a very very good were also seeing people getting in front of us. As you can see at the very entrance theres someone there to put Hand Sanitizer on everybodys hands as they come in its obligatory to bring your own blue ink pen so that nobody so the 10s do not pass from hand to hand when you mark the ballot and been going very very smoothly so far especially young people who have in the last 10 years or so have abstained in very large numbers but voting is not mandatory but weve seen many many young people very enthusiastically coming out to the polls most of them i must say to vote in favor of changing the constitution which would leave which would put an end to the one of the last vestiges or rather the last vestige of the military dictatorship here in chile. A message impossible to miss displayed in front of chiles president ial palace approve a new constitution for a Better Future it says. On the other side of the street that the united is joined to the celebration so that her daughter she says could live in chile with dignity take care of. Our constitution is our original sin it regulates what we can and cannot have and clearly its no good. 40 years ago military dictator general pinochet called for a new constitution to be drafted it was all for terry and it also consecrated in extreme free market economic model with almost no state oversight it was ratified in a widening contested referendum which is why all these people say that it was illegitimate from its conception over the years is that money has become. An american Success Story the fact that the government has been forced to cave in to demands for this new referendum seems to suggest that something was seriously wrong. Chiles not the poorest country in latin america by a long shot but it has the highest income disparity the constitution does not guarantee many basic social rights as in most modern democracies. When millions of chileans took to the streets last year to demand better minimum wages education pensions and health care they pointed the finger at their politicians but also at their magna carta going to look at the sent us a government that are going to us our constitution basically recognize private property as the supreme right above all others the rights of an individual or private interests take predominance over those of society as a whole. But critics insist drawing up the current constitution and starting from scratch creates false expectations and economic instability or not. Ultimately blames chillies. Not change things to make this is a more inclusive there are very well bottom up reports that drastically transform be acquired everyone and. Thats the pessimistic view but right now the prospect of drafting a new constitution with a popular input is seen as a major triumph by those who are hoping to set chiles democracy on a new more socially equal path. What are we expecting then from from the outcome and what is the process going to look look at right going forward. Were expecting that those who are voting approved rather than reject the idea of writing the new constitution will win by a fairly large margin thats according to absolutely every poll thats come out so far what we dont know however is the 2nd question how it will be answered whether or not a new constitution should be written by a mix 7 of congressmen and congresswomen 50 percent of the other 50 percent voted by a selected by popular vote or whether the entire legislative Constitutional Assembly rather will be voted by popular vote and that makes a lot of difference for some people who say that they dont want any of the current politicians to have anything to do with the new magna carta in this country either way its going to take at least 2 years for the whole thing to from the beginning till the end and then it will be submitted to another referendum to see if the chilean people agree on this new drafted version of a constitution for this country moving forward again it wont solve any of the problems of this country in the short term but it does give a lot of people a lot of hope thank you for that lucy in human life or assume sontag cheney. In thailand protesters have been rallying in bangkok after the Prime Minister ignored their demand to resign by saturday Prime Minister pryor says he will not quit demonstrators say his hold on power is illegitimate after last years disputed elections have held mass protests for weeks now calling for reform of the government and the more knocking aljazeera is tony chang is in bangkok with more. Well the deadline for the time Prime Minister to resign certify the protest has now passed and as promised the protesters are now back on the streets but this is a rather different protest from the ones weve seen in the corn sort of causing transportation to central bangkok the skytrain is still running the shop. And lots of her songs some of the most luxurious in thailand are still open and there are shoppers mingling with the protesters and here we have has become known as the c r a the famous food vendors so named because of the intelligence they appear to have far ahead of the police and the protesters about where the protests are going to take place the always the 1st ones here the one piece of intelligence they dont appear to have is where these protests go next the Prime Minister isnt moving neither the protesters there is an extraordinary session of parliament starting tomorrow to try and discuss ways to resolve this case but with neither side moving among those i. Had to more head on this news hour including should have been women would you please likely. To help donald trump win the white house 4 years ago well look at why women in the u. S. Suburbs may not back in this time past Lewis Hamilton breaks Michael Schumacher has wrecked it for formula one race when still have the details in sports. And the the coronavirus pandemic now in several European Countries are taking drastic measures to slow the 2nd wave of cold 19 a state of emergency has gone into effect in spain Prime Minister pedrosa inches wants to extend the measures for 6 months its only has implemented new measures including the mandatory closure of all bars by 6 pm or brennan is following the latest european developments from london. Then of course youll know i exceeded 1000000 cases of coronavirus the 1st european country to do so they did that on weapons day and petr sanchez the Prime Minister announcing a raft of new restrictions the primary primary one is a curfew between 11 pm and 6 am local regional leaders will be able to adjust that curfew but only if they actually make it more severe so if they want to bring it in earlier or extend it later in the morning then they can but they certainly wont be able to make it any week or less stringent other things that spain are introducing for example are theyll be able to close regional borders to travel and limit gatherings to 6 people who dont live together and the measures will start initially for 15 days but Petter Sanchez said he was going to go to parliament this week and hopefully parliament he said would vote to make it a 6 month state of emergency this is the 2nd National State of emergency that spain has enacted as a result of this pandemic and as far as italy goes the italian Prime Minister giuseppe content has come out and he this morning another televised address launched new restrictions for example on gymnasiums on for example theaters cinemas swimming pools they must all close restaurants and bars will have to stop serving at 6 pm that happens from monday so you can see the way that this pandemic is raging like a wildfire across europe is forcing the hand of the countrys leaders across this continent. Its 9 days to go until the u. S. President president ial election and Donald Trumps win 4 years ago was partly down to a Certain Group of votes is white suburban women its unclear whether he has what it takes to win them over this time last in jordan reports. Its the 1st rule of running for office ask the people for their vote but begging for support this close to a luncheon day that might be a sign of desperation shift burden women would you please like the. I say damn neighborhood ok Donald Trumps campaign is faced with a problem polls say the president is losing a key part of his base suburban white women voters to his democratic rival joe biden in a recent Washington Post poll 62 percent said they were planning to vote for biden versus just 34 percent for trump you know instead of just being a candidate and having of the candidates record to run on we have 4 years of a trump record islam and i think largely viewed as a failure on a number of levels and i think thats going to and of encourage them to show up make sure we dont have another 4 years of political experts say in 2016 republican women over look trumps with solid genie because they like his conservative Economic Policy but this year these voters are a lot by the collapse of the economy. As well as by trumps apparent stroking of racial tensions in the country they say what matters most is the president s handling of the covert 1000 pandemic he has really lost that group of women with their concerns over the coronavirus the health of their families women are more burdened by. I by the child care by the educational difficulties by their parents being in situations so he has lost a lot of this support and it may make the difference for him womens suffrage was born from a desire to the Truck Campaign strategy reminding women that the Republican Party fought for their right to vote 100 years ago and with one unified voice we will vote for freedom why do you say these caps and resurrecting the partys racially inflammatory law and order message of the 1970 s. And 1980 s. Im sorry that there is no one here to answer your party call if you were elected this guy the suburbs would be overwhelmed with violence and grime meantime and supporters see their chance to win over republican women want you to grow up proud and strong in an america that believes in you and to a return to civil political discourse and fight like hell on the floor and then they go eat lunch together because they mostly put their friendship and their country 1st the party thats going to win over these moderate voters and the suburban women voters is the party that able to prove that its really going to unify the country and help us heal after all the trauma that weve been dealing with for the past 4 years the suburban housewife line is getting donald trump applause you know what women want more than anything else they want Safety Security and they want to be able to. Have. Whether that applause translates into votes for the president wont be known until election day rosalyn jordan aljazeera washington.

Of daughter indian in jamaica immigrants is the 1st woman of color to be nominated by a major party for Vice President earlier i spoke to noah akeson who is a professor of Political Science at the university of new mexico and she explained why more women are shunning donald trump. Well women in general are very central to the president ial election because they represent a larger bloc of voters they represent the good 10000000 or more voters in the electorate than men and so women have made the difference in a lot of campaigns and you know we focused on a soccer moms before now were focusing on them as suburban women we know in the end most most voters are nature of the times voters and so cobe it is the overwhelming issue on the table thats right in front of everybody its affecting everybody lives in multiple waves and. As youre you know 3 preinterview said you know theyre focusing on having to deal with their children their parents theres a lot of stuff going on for women in the suburbs and women all over the country when it comes to kovan in coded is the primary issue is as those numbers rise right now that is surely bad for President Trump i think its you know its primarily coded in the impact of code it on the economy and the negative effects going on in all kinds of different different aspects of peoples lives again you know cove it is really what is front and center and then it is impacting so many other aspects of policy Education Health care what if you need Something Else and of course jobs and employment so it is affecting everything a
