but hundreds of thousands of people across the country are calling on the government to resign the 39 people found dead in the back of a container truck in england believed to be chinese nationals a northern irish man arrested on suspicion of murder remains in police custody. bolivia's leader of a morale as has declared victory of the presidential elections opponents a vote counting to. to manipulate the results bob protests at a general strike. in the ocean watch strikes or injuring a 2nd after another night of tense clashes between protesters and police at least 18 people have died during the demonstrations with the government struggling to appease protesters demanding economic and social reforms made while human rights groups want more to be done to ensure the troops are not using excessive force on the streets reports from santiago. it's the worst crisis the country has
12:20 am
seen in more than 3 decades. a violent crackdown by police and military against thousands of demonstrators has left several dead thousands of others have been arrested but the future for the repression has been horrible they beat a bullet to date with claps and didn't get here as always the retired sitting on top well we always get stepped on. demonstrators blame the government for a long list of social problems from economic inequality to growing lack of access to public health care. there is no medicine there is no supplies to treat wounds we don't have enough stuff there is a massive deficit. according to medical professionals dozens of protesters have suffered wounds from firearms and have sustained injuries to the face and torso from projectiles like tear gas canisters and rubber pellets the united nations

along with international human rights groups are calling for security forces weapon documented using excessive violence against peaceful protesters to be held accountable. there have been specific cases not only violating the right to peaceful assembly but also the right to life and bodily integrity they're also been cases of sexual assault things that cannot be tolerated. on wednesday some secretary of the interior said he expects that any alleged human rights vialli. will be thoroughly investigated the end. we are live in state of emergency and i'm going to take over for you but this doesn't not just to fight human rights abuses. well the majority of protests in the country have remained peaceful there's also been widespread vandalism and hundreds of businesses have been looted a military inforce curfew has been announced for a 5th night in a row and has been extended to other cities of cheating the concern now as more people continue to join in the demonstrations and violate that curfew is that the
12:22 am
violence that we've seen over the past few days will only worsen. between protests that continue to intensify and a government who seems unable to regain the trust of the public a peaceful solution to the unrest appears to remain out of reach. well joining us live now from just looking at that story some extraordinary images we see is you've been reporting the death toll continues to rise the violence continues we continue to see the state of emergency but is it fair to say that that's that's not diminishing the resolve of the people on the streets. well that was the expectation that we're actually still seeing several 100 people that are starting to gather once again today thursday here in the chilean capital but not with the same momentum that we've seen over the course of a lot of the last few days despite a national strike still taking place today many businesses remain open it appears
12:23 am
people are are are wanting are they are trying to regain a sense of normalcy here in in the chilean capital even though that national curfew was announced again for 5th night i think there is hopes that that curfew will be lifted today since we're not seeing those the same level of violence that we've seen over the course of the last few days there are still peaceful protests as i mentioned hundreds of people it's still early here in the chilean capital there could we could be surprised and still see clashes take place in the afternoon or or once the daylight hours are over but for the moment things are a lot calmer and i think a lot of people are hoping that that calm remains as the promise made in the apology made by the chilean president made a difference that remains to be seen but for now things do appear to be a lot calmer than in prior days stan. about the concerns that have being used about schumann rights abuses that have been committed there on the streets as
12:24 am
these protests continue just more about. absolutely stan over the course of the last few days we've seen police used tear gas rubber bullets if you smoke bombs and and water cannons mixed in with pepper spray to disperse the crowds these are all quote unquote less than lethal tactics to to disperse protesters these are not against the law these are not any sort of unconstitutional forms of of just crowd dispersal but there have now been confirmed cases of police using live ammunition against protesters you saw in the report that there have been injuries to the torso to the face were put where police have specifically targeted peaceful protesters this has caught the attention of the united nations of international human rights groups we spoke to a human rights attorney who showed us videos that can better confirm videos of of peaceful protesters or people who have been caught off guard in the middle of the
12:25 am
night people who have been pulled out of their homes people who have been pulled out of buildings by armed forces here in the chilean capital and while the the government we heard from the interior minister we heard from the justice minister saying that any cases any alleged cases of human rights abuse would be thoroughly investigated it still raises a great raises alarms it's still quite troubling to see a lot of these amateur videos continuing to surface and a lot of that violence from the armed forces is taking place after dark now that is not to say that there haven't been pockets of tension or a few of the more radical elements of these protesters that haven't been responsible for for vandalism that's certainly been the case or been more than 200 businesses that have been looted there has been an arson there has been there's been other crimes committed from the side of the demonstrators as well however for the most part these protests have remained most mostly peaceful whether or not we're going to see a continuation of that violence i think still remains to be seen it is still early
12:26 am
but we are now seeing somewhere around 4 to $500.00 peaceful protesters starting to gather at plus i tell you it's an iconic part of the city and it's sort of been the main staging area for these demonstrations here in the chilean capital stan. joining us live there from santiago well the human rights or humanitarian organization says a migrant camp in bosnia is on the brink of a catastrophe hundreds of migrants have been left without running water at the camp near the border with a new member croatia the red cross says the camp referred to as the jungle is filthy understaffed and surrounded by land mines local authorities temporarily help the camps water supplies just last week to pressure the bosnian government to relocate the migrants if you come here. they are all. here with. property disorders not to be the government of the
