in the 2016 referendum. many here want breaks it down and a deal to be passed in parliament the village in delhi and i own 3 years where i asked if we were upset and deals with the ballot paper was yes or no if you want to leave we go i just i just wish the film with. him come out every teleco in television we expect we're all pretty safe coming to the end now this time we hope is 3 years ago everybody voted to come out and it's in my opinion that that's the wishes of the people that voted so we should come out and spend some time doing the things is to get on the next series i mean a chance to see things that needed there were high levels of poverty in parts of taking back control from europe is talked about by some here very little has changed since 2016 and many people are hoping that by leaving year some of the

would al-jazeera in whole. but avails go to the polls on sunday with the longest serving president looking to extend his hold on power but after 14 years even as his popularity is falling because of fears that he may try to govern and definitely john heilemann has more. in rural mountain communities in bolivia there remains only one man for the top job going into sunday's elections ever more oil is already the country's longest standing president and still its most popular politician thanks to a consistently growing economy and programs like this one giving low income families the chance to build their own homes and yes. i'm very happy i've worked so long in other people's houses working for the wealthy people and this time it'll be for me. banking on the support that comes from almost having poverty or ellys began his bid for a full term in office 3 years ago. but that in itself became

a turning point the moment when his formally overwhelming popularity began to form serious rallies 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 he's dealing with the backlash. millions have turned out for huge civil society meetings called build those former. jenna was one of the organizers. under the government of avon morale as there's 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 respond directly to the regime so the democratic system suffered permanent damage. is not just what critics say is a slide away from democracy recently bolivia had forest fires that wiped out 5000000 hectares environmentalists say the government's commitment to pacha mama

mother earth is all talk. the laws are fine the problem is that i see they're not applied the fires in chicken tanya were due to policies where they wanted to de forest to plant soya beans and produce meat to export to china addicts. bents of wildlife and the indigenous people there are also been accusations of government to corruption and conflicts of interest and when the administration of president moralist built this $21.00 story $34000000.00 skyscraper you can see which towers above the former presidential palace was pink building in front of it many people saw that as a sign of the government's increasing opulent in what is one of the poorest countries in south america. despite the missteps many believe ins like in a sense you still see morale is the safe way forward. is that i think if the president stays in power then these programs will continue before we didn't have

them and we don't know the proposals on the other candidates we've lived with this president and we know that he gives help. that may be enough to see him over the finish line john homan how does it look as. turkish president as your father juan has worn the offense of the northeast and syria will resume within minutes if kurdish rebels trying to bide by the terms of the 5 day cease fire the terraces largely holding despite both sides accusing each other of violations c.n.n. of course you want to reports from istanbul. reports of superadded fighting continuing in syria the day after turkey agreed with the u.s. to pao's its military operation for 5 days turkey's ses the power is to allow the kurdish people's protection units or why p.g. time to withdraw from the border region both the why p.g. and there oppositions national syrian army accuse each other of failing to abide by the deal the us stays it's a ceasefire turkey says it's

a temporary suspension of its military operation which began 9 days ago turkey's president project a proud dawn refused to 3 ports of violations he expects the y. peaches with rubble from the designated safe zone area over the next 4 days and the u.s. to oversee the process i've done is warning that defensible to resume within minutes if kurdish rebels don't abide by the terms of the deal. so the issue of the safe zone will be solved with us can realize their promises when the ceasefire is due to end but if the promises are not realized as soon as the vans are operational peace spring will continue more rapidly than before at least 15000000 of turkey's 80000000 citizens are kurdish turkey's leaders are repeated reiterating that their target is not the kurdish people but the y. p.g. because of its links to the p.k. k. which is designated as a terrorist group the european council president donald tusk is urging turkey to

immediate the withdrawal with forces from syria so called ceasefire this is the approach we expected. in fact it's not as she said the month of capitulation of the cuts. i think that we have to be very consistent here. and we have to do to raise the rate our call for turkey to put a permanent. good. military action immediately and to this is well it's false isn't and respect international humanitarian law and all ses turkey isn't using the safe zone to gain territory and he wants a place the 1000000 syrian war effigies in turkey to go home pick up. it is not a problem for us if syrian government forces control the area spirit of p.k. k y p g at the end the aim is to clear the safe zone of these terror groups secure

in the designated safe zone is a challenge for turkey presents are gone as expected discuss that with russia's leader vladimir putin during their planned meeting in such a next tuesday after the deal ends and they're due to meet again in geneva to end of this month where a political solution to the long conflict of syria is expected to be negotiated. now that u.s. secretary of state why pompei a says he's optimistic that the ceasefire will hold despite the signs of shelling early on friday there was some activity today but we also saw some very posit that given the beginnings of the coordination that we will be required the reason this couldn't happen instantaneously is there was a great deal of cordon nation that had to take place so that there can in fact be a safe withdrawal of the white p.g. fighters that are inside of the turkish controlled area that is covered by the agreement and we're hopeful in that hours ahead that both both the turks who were

part of the agreement alongside of us as well as the white b.g. fighters in the region will take seriously the commitments that they made and that we will actually achieve within the next now 96 hours the commitments that were laid out in paragraphs one through 13 of the agreement. well let's get more on this pledge on by cost fund and rob van jones he's live for us and the u.s. capitol so the secretary of state and the president's very much on the same page about the cease fire all but there is absolutely scathing criticism from the scene yet republicans you're absolutely right elizabeth the president is experiencing some really unprecedented levels of pushback over several of his decisions not only syria but other areas of concern from his fellow republicans who normally have been in lockstep behind him supporting him for example senator mitt romney who was the. the republican presidential nominee in 2012 called that

trumps decision to abandon the kurds a quote blood stain on the annals of american history and senator mitch mcconnell the leader of the senate republicans the majority leader a very important person in washington politics and in the government wrote a very scathing opinion column for the washington post you said that president trump's decisions to pull out troops from northern syria embolden the assad regime and its ally iran allows russia to extend its influence in the greater middle east allows the ice will forces potentially to reconstitute themselves and regroup and mcconnell said in summary that trumps policy or decisions in northern syria constitute a strategic nightmare for the us. and we have to remember that president trump said a few days ago that this was to teach a kid

a brilliant what's happened in north east and save you he does need political support right now doesn't he vomit another important mass said that of the impeachment inquiry he's facing until late had bought could the of of support among such senior republicans have an impact on the inquiry. well i think that you can almost see some of the comments from the republican senators and some members of the house as a kind of proxy for criticism of trump because they're focusing on other areas but not the area of the impeachment itself but nevertheless a lot of republicans in congress were very alarmed when the acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney came out before cameras and appeared to admit that the trumpet demanded a quid pro quo from the ukrainian president and that he admitted that. hundreds of millions of dollars worth of authorized military aid for ukraine was held up for purely political reasons and then finally many republicans say that they just can't

defend trump in an in a situation like the decision to hold the next year's g. 7 summit at his own golf resort in florida they say that the appearance of self dealing in the potential for unconscious breaking the constitutional ban on receiving funds from foreign governments is just something they can't support so whether this erosion continues among leading republicans depends a lot on trump's behavior his own base i think elizabeth will support him through thick and thin the grass roots but there are peer to be some cracks in the facade especially on capitol hill among leading republicans very interesting rob thank you for that is rob annals of the nation from the u.s. capitol thank you. still ahead on the news hour. a failed mission mexican politicians admit mistakes in
