thing has been ongoing in several cities some supermarkets and shops were set on fire on sunday there was transport deadlock in santiago and queues have international airport the government was forced to impose a new 11 hour curfew precedence who has been meeting with his cabinet to try to address the discontent and i always source says it's chile's economic model that needs to be revised i don't think any serious will buy the part of the over the ruling class so to say. changing the model and the problem is the model and the model is. based on the constitution the is the model and it's a move which is completely unfair and gives all power to the private sector. has gone from being one of the poorest countries in latin america to one with the highest per capita income the problem is that the economic boom has not benefited everyone. and that's what these people would like to see change.

or still in latin america a former alice leading in bolivia's presidential election but the incumbent faces a historic 2nd runoff against his main opponent in december early results show south america's longest serving leader is ahead of his rival carlos message but he hasn't won enough votes to secure the presidency outright needs 50 percent of the vote for that or as is confident of winning a 4th term in office. we won once again 4 consecutive elections we've won in bolivia historical and president. ever i was speaking outside the presidential palace which is where john holeman is now in la paz has this gone as much as something can go in an election as expected john. i think it's still going actually you heard up. is it an eval more or less there

and you can see here is the ports as well they just start now but they were sort of celebrating his if this was a win but he's saying something different than the results are indicating what he said in his speech 2 was that he's going to wait for the results to come in from the roof or libya and he thinks that those are going to swing it so that he gets out right when 3 in these elections and he doesn't have to go to a 2nd round at the moment 83 percent of the votes have been counted and as you said they do indicate that it's going to go to a 2nd round at the moment we're at it still 45 percent mikala smith said his nearest rivals got 38 percent of the folks now it's slightly different to how you described it. to win outright ever more of these would need more than 40 percent but he'd also need 10 points 10 percent seats on his nearest rival so he's currently 3 percentage points and that's why he's hoping the rule can come in and swing it we've been on the phone to the electoral college here and they say that

that can take up to 7 days for those rule votes to come in so it's not going to be anything sort of definitively announced at least by president or early swath through is in charge at the moment until that period on the other hand call us mess has already come out it's already celebrating for him obviously it's quite a big thing to get to ahead head to head runoff with president or others if that does happen the really interesting a runoff one because i mean in some ways it's almost hard to imagine bolivia about evo morales 13 years in power such an important figure as the 1st indigenous leader of the country. oh. definitely will do you. believe is the longest running president in the history as well so this is a think of it's been around for a long time i think opponents of him they see that as part of the problem. i feel

that the longer that he's been around the nation specially the last. that corruption has crept in there's been people being put in positions in the judiciary branch in the legislative branch really support him so that there's not a lot of independence there and crucially in a referendum in 2006 day which would mean to change the constitution to be able to run this time and any time off to this the population not only said no we don't do that and he did it anyway so i think his opponents would say he's been around for a long time he's done good things this is a president who's growing the economy by more than doubled out of the latin american average and it's almost of poverty but enough is enough and that is actually the slogan of collets message the nearest challenger so i think over the next few days as we see how this pans out there's going to be probably quite civil to tension and control of the city in this country as the electorate will sort of sorts through this because carlos messrs obviously already come out and said we're

going to a 2nd round. really interesting one to watch isn't it thank you john heilemann and the. let's see what's coming up for you on the news hour divided over independents where are. outside of barcelona what they think about the protest movement also canadians heading to a general election which is seen as a battle between progressive and conservative values and in sports the fairy tale is over budget and the rugby world cup has all the action from their match with south africa. 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 kurds departure from 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 has warned his forces will start attacking kurdish fighters again if the evacuation isn't completed by tuesday evening. he said the turkey syria border. but certainly according to a statement released now by the f.d.a. those kurdish forces today saying that there are no s.t.'s fights is left in russell laine they say that they left along with what we understand could well be at least a couple 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 predominantly what was believed to be. sorry syrian fighters these are the free syrian army fighters that

appear to full frontal despite fighting alongside the turks they effectively surrounded that city it 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 we're made to be seeing 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 tel aviv 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. as to forces have moved out from that area when you have threats from the president heard of one saying that effectively in 48 hours. this temporary ceasefire. ends and if those forces haven't haven't left that have been full military operations will resume draws great great attention to the concerns of united nations aid agencies for the work in this area the pensions potentially hundreds of thousands more civilians that will be trapped in another conflict as. well turkey's offensive in syria has now displaced more than a 1000000 people we spoke to i'm jamming about as the syria spokesman for save the children he said this humanitarian aid on the ground is immense and we're seeing at least 1300000 people who are in need systems and now in the last 10 to 12 days we

have seen another 16170000 feet off and actually these days these numbers while they may look as if they happened elsewhere as well they are particularly. crisis that was because of the falling so to be able to deal with 160000 people over 10 days to find shelter for them and find them places to sleep to eat to attend to their medical needs in some cases nutrition for the children and to be able to do all of that within these current weather conditions is very very difficult to see on the ground at least 10 people have been killed by artillery fire along the line of control that divides the disputed region of kashmir and here in pakistan accused each other's armies of starting this latest old occasion funerals have been held for some of the victims several homes were also damaged the tensions been high since august when india revoked the semi autonomous status of

kashmir a territory under its control u.s. defense secretary markus an unannounced trip to afghanistan and held talks with the defense minister also president danny. remember u.s. president on trump abruptly broke off talks with the taliban last month but espen says the u.s. does want a political agreement he also says washington could reduce its troops in afghanistan from $14000.00 to just over right 1000 without affecting counterterrorism operations folks now michael o'hanlon who's a senior fellow and director of research and foreign policy at the brookings institution told us the u.s. will have to compromise its position if you want to have the taliban back to the negotiating table well you know people have been paying lip service to a peace deal for at least 10 years and people have been saying the only way out is a political solution and almost everyone uses those words i wouldn't be surprised if other brookings scholars and of al-jazeera anchors use those words but when you

get right down to it if those words mean anything they have to mean precisely what you said even if it's distasteful that you're giving taliban leaders some kind of political standing that they did not observe obtain or deserve at the ballot box and that frankly at a moral level they don't deserve at all because they've been causing so much damage to their country for so long but when you compromise in a battle that hasn't been won decisively by either side that is inherently what you're doing so the question now is can there be some kind of power sharing that preserves major elements of the gandhi government and the afghan constitution that democratic system but does what you say and also gives a certain amount of power to the taleban where we've seen has a lot of the sort of partly a player within the state but also partly without outside the state and we've also seen a guaranteed representation for different groups you know christians sunni and shia over the years and maybe you create that kind of a guarantee of at least partial power for the taleban even though they did not earn

it. well people across australia awoke to a striking sight on monday morning the front page of every daily newspaper blacked out part of a campaign to highlight government plans to penalize whistleblowers and to silence some journalism where you might remember the fight for media freedom intensified back in june when police raided the a.b.c. the australian broadcasting corporation and the home of a news corp journalist they were searching for leaked government documents that had been used in critical report sort of check in with andrew thomas in sydney now can you join the dots for us there andrew between that very public raid that we saw back in june and what the papers are not doing. well those raids back in june were the straw that broke the camel's back in the words of one of these 5 and it's here that was already a ramping up of the law the national security laws that were increasingly being used to prosecute us in australia and scare whistleblowers into staying quiet but

let me 1st show you some of these newspapers this is the australian the nationwide paper in this country and you can see an entire stylised front page which looks as though an article has been redacted hidden from the public view its rival the sydney morning herald here in sydney as well likewise another article redacted the stamp of secret at the top and the tabloid daily telegraph the same kind of picture and that's true of all newspapers right across this country with the ads running on t.v. as well it's very high in the t.v. news across the commercial networks across the national a.b.c. here so all these normally rival media organizations joining forces to say that new laws that have been introduced in australia extensively all about national security going too far and they're restricting the rights of journalists to do their job and those rights back in june 1 was on the home of a journalist to work study newspaper another the main sydney offices of the a.b.c. both those organizations that publish stories about the actions of the australian

soldiers in afghanistan those documents were secret said the government they were leaked illegally by a government employee and the police here went after the journalists initially the trying to find out how those leaks have come about that really sent a chill through the media scene here in australia and organizations here say it's really stopped whistleblowers as well coming forward with information that the government may not like to be in the public domain but that it is in the public interest they're calling for reform of all these laws they say that 75 different pieces of legislation passed since 2001 have cumulatively had a chilling effect on the media and they want some of those laws redacted or at least adjusted to take account of a free press which australia say is it has but journalists are increasingly skeptical about this is getting a lot of public trunks in as well andrea i mean you've told us a lot about obviously the effect and the views of the media there but i guess when the public wakes up and country to front page of the newspapers a wonderful trees starts to hit home. well it does in the

sense that it's a lot of social media as well as not just the newspapers i mean if you talk to people in the straits about this it's quite hard to get people to engage in what they don't know they don't know if you see what i mean it's not as if it's being talked about in every cafe in the country but certainly if the media has a window on what people in this country are thinking then certainly there is a real feeling that what the government has done over recent months is going to fall as a parliamentary inquiry looking into all of this at the moment that's getting a lot of attention as well but what journalists want are some exceptions with a public interest defense to national security laws they say without that it's very hard to publish anything that the government might say it's sensitive they also want to review of what the government says a secret because the same as the government the site something is secret well that means that for example free of information laws don't apply journalists don't have a right to say that information and they say that when the government is by the holder of information and the arbiter of what gets released is a dangerous area that they have various demands and they want the government to

take seriously what they're doing and that's what this campaign on monday is all about that stuff from andrew thomas in sydney thank you for that. still ahead here on this news hour is pregnant putting pressure on peace in northern ireland but reaction to the u.k. government's latest move and in sports an emotional day for andy murray somehow we'll have the details of his 1st time in 2 and a half years. hello there have all sunshine through eastern sections of china it's been very nice in shanghai for the last few days and no reason to think the next year would be equally as pleasant the recent chad you can see it here on the satellite stream eastwards and we will see some rain showers particularly through the central areas to the south we go quite a strong across into heinen and again maybe just across into north of it now we

could see wanted to shout but 23 in shanghai on monday and not about 28 celsius in hong kong staying at about those levels as we go through choose a that is though when this rain becomes a little bit heavier and pushes his way east was on towards provence now to south of there we have got more in the way of widespread rains that across much of borneo . into still us in the last few hours on the rains also this time of year now beginning to make them off a bit further south and east across into much of sumatra staying fairly unsettled through much of the mill a peninsula but also through tuesday we're beginning to clear finally across the southern sections of thailand and vietnam plenty of rain on the south of india of course the southwest monsoon is continuing to we drop a quite slowly we've got quite a stream of clouds here in the last few hours the rain is heavy again 3 maharastra and down across into canada very little change on tuesday with 27 in mumbai. the weather sponsored by qatar is. an act of youthful defiance.

your turn next doctor also in the school they arrested me at home at 4 in the morning while the electric shock treatment was the worse that triggered a revolution. the arrest of those children sparked all of which became a battle without and that was the beginning of the armed struggle in syria. the boy who started the syrian war on al jazeera. the latest news as it breaks into this market started peacefully but major confrontation is taking place. this week details coverage. will be heading down to 110 meters which is so deep that only have 15 minutes on the seabed from around the world the remains of jamal may never be found that is if they still exist yet his legacy lives on.

this is the news from al jazeera and these are the top stories protests in lebanon are growing despite reports the main political parties are close to agreeing a package of economic reforms sunday so the largest rallies and demonstrations began 4 days ago. early results in bolivia's presidential election show incumbent a former head of his rival carlos messer but it appears he doesn't have enough yet to secure an outright win and so will face a 2nd round of voting in december and governments extended a nighttime curfew to cities across the country in response to protests over the cost of living at least 8 people have been killed. probably dependent supporters in

catalonia have protested for a 7th straight night they are angry at the jailing of separatist leaders who organized a band independence referendum 2 years ago. alone other regional capital has appealed for calm after some of those protests turned violent also hundreds of counter protesters were out in force they want catalonia to remain a part of spain here is charlie angelo with more from barcelona. these pro independence demonstrators have spent the last 6 hours marching through the city of basra not occupying various points south saying along the way that catalonia against fascism free the political prisoners and singing the catalan national anthem now the police have hung back their presence is being massacred reduced compared to other nights and the protests come to a standstill ahead outside the national police headquarters in boston and that's

because they want to express that anger against the national police who they blame for the violence that boston has seen over the last 2 days with those injuries sustained by protesters for a blind in one eye by rubber bullets. you can hear the crowd is still buoyant and this is the 7th day of demonstrations in support of a defendant but that is another slice of the story and we were at it peaceful rally for the pro-union this side spaniards who believe passionately of the unity of spain which is if you have by 48 percent of catalonians and both sides tell me they feel like this issue of independence is really driving a wedge because what they want to see is that basically to coming together sitting down and finding an end to this crisis. right so that's possible and i mean while sonia guy i go to travel outside the regional capital shortage aroma where many remain divided over this issue of independence. the flags of spain and catalonia flying side by side on top of joe grown as courthouse below the crowd is protesting

against the arrests made during friday's demonstrations here that turned violent mike let me tell you the procession supporters blamed the national governments justice system. protests for sparked by the recent sentencing of 9 catalan politicians and activists after that failed a bit this is session and 2017 frustrations from 2 years ago have been reignited and the resentment has grown as has the mistrust of the national law enforcement systems few by harsh police interventions there's no doubt that the question of independence in catalonia is an intensely emotional one it goes right to the heart of people's identities here however a recent catalan opinion poll stated that 44 percent of people wanted to secede from spain whilst 48 percent want to remain. in another neighborhood just outside

of g. donna there was a very different tone to that of the protesters many here do not have catalan roots but they share a pride in their homes even if they do not share the same opinions they don't make us how gloomy see it was and i was born here in general mary had my children here but i don't want to renounce my spanish roots i am catalog and spanish but they are worried about being left behind we see things in the distance that. if you're a president then you attempt to be neutral you can't on a support your son because what about the rest of us we live in catalonia as well if you support independence i think that's fine each of us have the right to express ourselves how we want but the rest of us we're left without a president there has been wide condemnation over the violence of the past few days that prominent castle and figures who are against independence are leading calls for tougher measures against the regional government the most anger reserved for

the procession as president. you know you know the me by if i want to government of my country he defends all the citizens from these powerful to reduce from the people who are blocking roads from those who applaud violence from those that cold mobilizations against the judges of their sentences this is not tolerable and this is why we need to stop talking to. the procession as groups have captured the attention of those who perhaps thought that this crisis was under control but it has not necessarily drawn more supporters catalan society is polarized and with a general election coming up next month no promise yet of any resolution soon so i go out jazeera joran or. so the european union says it's received a letter from the u.k. prime minister barak's johnson asking for a 3 month delay to the brig's a deadline but it hasn't indicated how will respond and simmons has all the details

now from westminster. the u.k. is deep into bricks it uncertainty once more with the prime minister again being accused of breaking the law and boris johnson's government readying itself for another push to get parliamentary approval for a new withdrawal deal conservative government ministers believe they have enough support to win a meaningful vote on the new deal as early as monday we're going to leave october the fetter 1st we have the means and the ability to do so i think actually the mood in the country is clear and the prime minister's determination is absolute michael gove's is the minister responsible for no deal breaks it preparations and he says he's triggering operation yellow the contingency plan he says the reason is there's no guarantee the european council will approve an extension and that heightens the risk of a no deal breck's it this appears to be a means of putting more pressure on employees to back the deal in parliament

drawing one m.p. who's backing the deal is the man who calls the major setback for boris johnson by coming up with the amendment i thought in august that he wasn't being serious about getting a deal that was one of the reasons why we put in place part of it was just to make sure that if we got to 31st or do we handle the deal we would be safe and not crush up the party was to give him an incentive to get a deal that i think worked i think he is now got his deal and now for those of us for whom that was the motivation we need to back that deal boris johnson isn't budging over his refusal to accept bracks a deadline extension his letter requesting one was judy sent to e.u. council president donald tusk but unsigned and he effectively disowned it with a signed follow up letter setting out why there shouldn't be another extension the main opposition labor party says johnson is breaking the law you may well be in contempt of parliament or the courts themselves because he's clearly trying to

undermine the. 1st letter and not signing the letter he's behaving a bit like a spoiled brat made a decision he should abide by it mcdonald was one of the politicians attending the british people's vote march on saturday when police estimated around a 1000000 people crowded into the capital calling for a 2nd referendum on bret's it has confirmed that labor would back an amendment calling for a people's vote there are calls for a bricks a decision to be brought back to the people but the government is intent on making every effort to prevent that from happening and so on monday prose johnson's minority government will try to press the reset button on getting parliament to say yes to the new deal like every twist of the brics it crisis it's an unpredictable situation and to simmons' out his era westminster all a future of northern ireland of course remains at the heart of the break the debates the democratic unionist party there is against the government's new plan

and said johnson's deal leaves northern ireland too closely aligned to the republic of ireland which they regard as a threat to their identity and of barca has been finding out more in belfast. police are investigating a bomb threat in a nationalist neighborhood homes are evacuated roads blocked northern ireland's enjoy 20 years of reconciliation between nationalists who identify as mainly catholic irish and unionists who define themselves as mainly protestant british. but brecht's it has put pressure on keeping the peace researchers have found the bronx it uncertainty is affecting people's lives when asking about the prospect of a hard border has revealed that people are increasingly anxious in these terms and they used language such as heartbreaking appalling devastating disastrous not just because of their direct impact on their personal daily experience but also because

they stink it's going to be enormously consequential for the stability of the peace process here. the irish border remains the central sticking point of brics it it separates northern ireland a part of the u.k. with the republic of ireland and e.u. member it's been opened and without checkpoints for 20 years both sides have benefited politically and economically but it breaks it means a return to the so-called hard border of the past with security barriers and watchtowers the armed republican group the new ira says it will attack the prime minister and yet. prime minister boyce johnston says he's removed the need for a hard border by keeping northern ireland economically aligned with the e.u. and also the rest of the u.k. some customs checks however will now be needed between mainland britain and northern ireland the. was. that details and raise unionists any difference to the rest of the u.k.

is seen as a threat to their british identity. the democratic unionist party intend to vote against the deal in parliament while what are described as hardline unionists known as loyalists are threatening civil disobedience on a large scale if the deal goes through all she ends of unionism are opposed to this even though she knows it would be described as more moderate chance of unionism are opposed to us so i don't think any of us could ever accept us and what it means as it means an economically united ireland that means we are have to offer in there to the united kingdom. not only has breaks it put pressure on peace it's put pressure on politics northern ireland's power sharing government at stormont collapsed 2 and a half years ago over an alleged corruption scandal but uncertainty over breaks it has kept its politicians away despite its flaws the power sharing government remains hugely symbolic it was meant to be a chance for people from different walks of life from different political affiliations to work together to shape their futures together but it isn't working

as it should be a reminder of how fragile peace can be need parker out 0 belfast looks like there's a green wave taking over switzerland with fears about climate change putting environmentalist parties on track for historic gains in the national elections there's been a surge of votes for the swiss green party which could loosen the center right script on power now projected to win more than 12 percent of the vote and there's another environmentalist party that looks a little good at around 7 percent surveys before the election showed climate change has replaced migration as the leading concern for swiss voters canadians will vote on monday in an election seen as a battle between left and right opinion polls suggest prime minister justin trudeau as liberal party will lose seats john hendren has a report from ottawa. for many canadians just charismatic to lure his dim in that are now almost unheard of numbers i mean there for years after he won

a broad majority promising change he is now scrambling to rise above a dead heat with a conservative leader who promises change from him mr trudeau you are a phony and you are a fraud and you do not deserve to govern this country it's been a precipitous fall since he cut a dash in figure at his 2015 inauguration leaving him to remind voters of what he's done we were able to stand up. stand up to donald trump and his punitive tariffs on steel and aluminum were able to stand up when he wanted to tear up a trade deal that winds or indeed all canadians rely on the vaunted trudeau's sheen has been tarnished by his nationalizing an unpopular pipeline a finding that he had pressured his attorney general to go easy on a corporate prosecution and the revelation that he had repeatedly warned blackface is a young man still many voters consider him the lesser of political evils mr trudeau hasn't done as well as i hoped he might but he's vastly better than his opposition

that a lot of people are wasting their votes like a lot of people on a. vote for liberals because they don't want. the conservatives and liberals could each failed to reach a majority that could leave the smaller parties becoming king makers joining one of the larger parties to form a majority you do not need to choose between mr delay and mr deny there is another option but with the rise of incidence of anti immigrant sentiment illegal border crossings the birth of the populace people's party in a controversial new bill in quebec banning religious symbols such as he jobs some canadians fear into immigrant populism is growing some say canada is not immune to the forces of populism we've seen elsewhere around the world but in country after country the u.s. the u.k. people said he can't happen here and then it did i see.

especially in western canada because of the kind of he's not going very well and people wonder well what the federal government is doing for me the government is doing nothing for me so maybe i should look at other options the election will determine whether liberalism will continue to be canada's governing philosophy or whether this nation of 38000000 makes a decisive tilt to the right john hendren al-jazeera. hundreds of people in venezuela's capital caracas have been mourning the death of an opposition activist edmundo brodeur's a bullet ridden body was found after he'd been missing for 24 hours his body also been set on fire opposition leader one way those says the government of president nicolas maduro is behind the killing and thousands of haitians of again rallied against their president over more days they're accusing him of corruption and of being responsible for an economic crisis as demonstrations have intensified in the past 6 weeks the u.n. says at least 30 people have.
