well we're not far away from the presidential i've been told to start going here i'm not sure if you can see right behind me 1st lots of people are right over there they've been clashing with the police in the past few hours i mean it's been really tense situation here on the ground this is not happening everywhere else we've seen some very peaceful protests people with thanks for saying that this is a fight against inequality in this country even though this protest began mostly because of the raise in that natural fair they have escalated into much more this is what people tell us on the ground as i said it's a fight for inequality a fight for a better health for better education among other things that the what we know right now is that around 10000 soldiers have been to slowly do all the wrong the country many of them are here in santiago they're protecting strategic locations like the metro stop some of the others because they have been vandalized and stepped on fire
6:09 am
in the past for now what we know is that the government is telling you curfew that is expected to be here at 7 o'clock local time in the evening and the last 12 hours until the next morning and of course the state of emergency do you are thinking that we may. of course that have been protests but there has also have also been awesome attacks taking place there been some violent clashes as well looting also just describe the sort of power lies in effect of all these events on the country in the past few days. of this protest began with the students basically going inside the metro stops going to side with the better without having an effect on the content of the people you want to be analyzed that they need to be detained that they needed. to pay for the excuse that escalated the situation was even more and that's when the middle class started to
6:10 am
courting many of those students they were taking over are on top and that's what we're seeing right now is a few people are going to be shocked told that there were things that the cases were initially peaceful and now they have escalated into a very violent situation so what basically we have been seeing is the precedent saying right now when you pull the thing back. in the metro there is a meeting right now with the candidates see what else you can do give also said that he's going to start discussing issues that are in a way boring to many of the kids we've been talking to i said before the high for not totally medical care but also utility services and health care and education many of decisions are we think he could have all to be called on the streets right now when i said before many of those were spoken to are not happy with the presence of the military this is the 1st time since the dictatorship that this people have seen the military on the ground they're asking not far away from here to there is

6:12 am
by maracas who was a union leader at the time but he has now staged a political comeback message says he wants to save bolivia's democracy from morale is calling him a power hungry or to crap john homan is life or is. has enjoyed a great deal of popularity in the past but how how strong is the position towards him now. well actually just where we are right now is plaza francisco and that's where just a week ago there were between 30 and 50000 people that came out for a big civil society meeting they call it here a cab ill though and came out basically to say that they didn't want him in power anymore so there is no more opposition to morale is now certainly than there was in the past and to talk a little bit about that and other things i have with me now and this tour is a political analyst and this thanks for joining us so let's take that 1st of all
6:13 am
why has opposition grown to moral is why has his popularity which was so high before slumped there are many reasons the for the most important one is that around 2 years ago there was a referendum asking people if we continue to want to change the constitution to open the possibility of a new election for for the person more us to be reelected because according to the coasters or he could he can only be elected 4 to. 4 to be piriformis d'oeuvres so. the reform was mean and he lost a referral and he did he didn't want to obey the band-aid of the referendum and he did. here appealed to the constitutional court and he said his natural right he's human right to be related to human rights all. the referendum cannot be counted and cause additional court gave him the reason and i thought
6:14 am
that's why he's running now this created a really bad feeling this society about how you respect or not respect the vote of people and the constitution so this was the main reason for that it. the descent of popularity of a moralist and now the figurehead sort of for that discontent has become carlos messer he's the main opposition figure that challenging president morales but when you talk to people as obviously we have been doing invalid. people don't seem to know a lot about him or his policies right now why is that what's going on does grow because it's not a leader that he's proposing something. a sudden turn out is to have a more honest his going against the war as he same more than respect the constitution you have to vote for me so we can have another nation power and because they will because it can be going on. with legitimacy so he's actually
6:15 am
running against ever more or less he's not running proposing. our leadership and our concrete proposal for the country says he's more appealing to the i'm t. vote for us instead of for the vote for. he's not asking people to know him he's she's just asking people to say another word just vote for me because i'm not a moralist and we'll see i suppose at the end of the day if that's been enough of but there is also another race is going on it's not just the presidency that's being decided today it's congress as well how important do you think that's going to be today's vote also for congress and of the grecian of the of the chambers i hope power is going to be divided so people is thinking that you can vote for congress in one side and for the president for a different bunch of people is this is a is saying the ok of all melissa could be the president has a lot of power but we need some leverage in the in the chambers and people is voting for a clear and that's why he's voting for cosmesis well thank you very much for that
6:16 am
and days so it seems the ball pragmatics certainly members of the opposition have been thinking perhaps that if they could just take away the 2 thirds majority the president more as enjoys in congress than as andras and they said that at least it would mean some checks and balances if he is reelected as president and president moralise seems to be still the favorite as we go into the results of this election which should be coming out in just a couple of hours time thanks very much john heilemann with the latest from the past and here where i promise to be a fascinating race. still ahead demonstrators in barcelona demand independence for a 7th straight day but this time counter protesters are staging that own rally. look at the immigrant community that's become a political force in canada and how it could reshape monday's election. and in sport why there's just no stopping the world moto g.p.

6:22 am
on throughout this march but so far the police have been very restrained to complain compared to previous nights you can see the men numbers drastically reduced a couple of nights ago this entire area was blocked by police van so a very different mood on both sides tonight a much more peaceful mood. so much more peaceful mood but is that sentiment likely to translate into some sort of dialogue to to ease this tension. not so far i mean what both sides a calling for new must remember that on the other side of pro-union the spaniards 48 percent of catalans want catalonia to stay within a unified spain both sides are looking to that but this poll leaders for some kind of direction on this issue they want them to sit down and talk and find an end to the crisis but so far spain's acting president had

6:26 am
the rest of us were left without a president that has been wide condemnation over the violence for the past few days the prominent castle and figures who are against independence leading calls for tougher measures against the regional government for the most anger reserved for the procession as president you know you know the me by if i want to government of my country defines all the citizens from these powerful to reduce from the people who are blocking roads from those who applaud violence from those the cold mobilizations against the judges of their sentences this is not tolerable and this is why we need to stop talking to. the pro secessionist groups have captured the attention of those who perhaps thought that this crisis was under control but it has not necessarily drawn more support to cattle and society is polarized and with a general election coming up next month no promise yet of any resolution soon so i go out jazeera. the british government is doubling down on its insistence that
