where the military is struggling to contain violent protests looting and arson the protests respond by increases in train fares which are since been scrapped the city's some pub or metro station was also by fire during the demonstrations on sunday at least 8 people have been killed so our correspondent in santiago is to raise about. we're here not far away from the presidential front office you can see right behind me protests are going what we've been seeing in several parts all fronts are protests like this one where young people mostly young people and i think lashing with the police when you see something with the washer kind of steam or that i'm driver board people are furious that security forces here have been extremely extremely violent and we've also seen members of the military on the streets mostly protecting metro stations and for to take the location this is the 1st time that many chileans have seen the military on the street thanks to the
8:54 am
return to democracy back in 1989 after they didn't pay to show oh we're stopping ok and this is something that is very shocking for them not far away from where i am there's the headquarters of the military and there's people with the compound right outside asking them to go back to their military bases this is a problem because that began complaining protesting a hike in the mix up in a way it had escalated into much more you have escalated into a fight for 25 for what you people are saying is a better health care care with a better education and that's why they feel that they will continue to be on the street even though the president is right now we can't do with the members of the cabinet and congress is about the past until polls that increase in the metro fare in the country. the votes are being counted in bolivia right now where people are picking the next president evo morales listing company facing a tough fight as he seeks a 4th term morales is the country's 1st indigenous leader he's been in office for 13 years but former president colace message could force him into
8:55 am
a runoff poll in december or alice has presided over a strong economic growth but he's also been dogged by corruption scandals and criticized for refusing to accept a referendum to limit presidential term we are getting some of the 1st results coming through and john home is in the palace to take us through that what are you hearing john. yes the electoral bodies website has already come out and said that nearly 90 percent of the votes have been counted 45 percent for evermore rallies the incumbent and 38 percent for carlos messer who's his closest challenger and now what that means is that this goes to a 2nd round basically because morale is needed or whether needed to win by 40.540 get 40 percent of the vote and get 10 percent more than these nearest challenger so that hasn't happened it goes to
8:56 am
a 2nd round to believe that will be hold on december the 15th now what this is going to come down to as well in the 2nd round is what happens to the votes for the smaller opposition parties one of them got 4 percent of the vote and another party got 8 percent of the vote where are those votes going to go when this goes to a 2nd round those those parties as well were very much against president morales they said that in ignoring a referendum in which people said that they didn't want him to change the constitution and run again he did that then that was in a sense breaking the deal with the people so where are those votes going to go there's also another race that's going on at the moment we haven't got the results in for that yet and that's for congress the building that's right behind us and at the moment president morales is party has a 2 thirds majority an absolute majority there which means that he can basically do what he wants within the legal framework so it's going to be interesting to see if
8:57 am
the opposition council to take control of that as well because it's going to further sort of make checks and balances and impinge upon president morales just to make a point as well that president where i was in the last election had 64 percent in the one before that he had 63 percent so it's come down to 45 percent really does show a sense that although he's still obviously the favorite he's the front runner there is a lot more dissatisfaction with him than there has been in the past just as a bit of background what were the main issues in this vote and i guess to that in what will possibly be the main issues again if it goes to a runoff. definitely so so the main issues here i suppose on president were at least his side was the economy as always and he's. president he's managed to keep bolivia's economy growing at double the average rate in latin america so that's something that's always kept his approval
8:58 am
numbers up also poverty this is a country that's one of the poorest in south america and he'd managed to almost of poverty during his time in charge but this is also a president that's been in power for 13 years now i mentioned what happened with the referendum and there are worries that he's amassing a lot of power to himself no thora tear in his and that may be what's sort of flip things and why is one by such a large margin is the past ok thank you for that update that's john heilemann in the ponds they keeping an eye on the election results going through to syria now where kurdish fighters and civilians are being evacuated from a strategic town near the border with turkey opening the way for turkish backed rebels to take over the code's departure from russell and is a major condition of a cease fire deal between the u.s. and turkey ankara wants to establish its so-called safe zone in the area and president one has that warned his forces will start attacking kurdish fighters
8:59 am
again if the evacuation is not completed by tuesday evening and supporters and shall strengthen into turkey syria border. well certainly according to a statement released now by the f.d.a. those kurdish forces today saying that there are no s.t.a. for fights is left in russell laine they say that they left along with what we understand could well be at least a couple of 100 civilians wounded civilians wounded fighters in the 2nd to calm voice the 1st one having gone in yesterday. so yes the s.d.f. saying that their fighters have now with rule from that town. just to talk a little bit about russell i and it's been the focus of some of the heaviest fighting in the build up to this cease fire. we saw predominately what was believed to be part of the story syrian fighters these are the free syrian army fighters that have created a full frontal despite fighting alongside the turks they effectively surrounded
9:00 am
that city that was besieged. for well over a week so there were huge concerns for the civilians trapped inside a great relief that they are out now but what remains to be seen and what needs to be attention. needs to be focused upon is the fact that the president or the one wants this has proposed a safety zone to be 440 kilometers along the border and around 30 kilometers deep inside syria what we understand is that according to the s.d.s. they had agreed to withdraw all their fighters from russell line to tell lobby which effectively is around 120 kilometers in distance between the 2 so we're having some analysts estimating that only around the very most 25 percent of the area within that proposed safety zone. forces have.
