responsible. and there's the next station to the president and to the. minister of interior who has their hands when i was here the university of chile's human rights institute has received more than 600 complaints of abuse of force leading in some cases to blindness. pacific command we're talking specifically about attacks against totally peaceful demonstrators who had been shot with rubber and metal pellets directly to the face and who have been gravely injured young people who are now permanently disabled due to the list of demands on the street is expanding not just with calls for justice but also for the president to be held personally responsible for the alleged abuses of human rights this as president said r.c.m.p. as struggles to find new ways to diffuse the ongoing political upheaval here.

wake forest university he says the scale of these demonstrations is a result of decades of grievances. these protests of wind have been reported this sort of protest over increases in transport costs that's really really superficial what these protests are really about 30 years of bottling up social pressure against a lot of the injustices that take place within the context of chile's neoliberal system inherited from the you know sort of the killers so while i'm superficially it may appear that this is about subway fare increase or something sort really about i'm fairly certain much patient system the social relations system the health system retirement system incredibly low minimum wage and the increase and the transport costs and the sort of tone deaf reactions of the government are really just the straw that broke the camel's back that's been very long in the

making and the it seems to me that even though sebastian you get is the scapegoat for this is not all of his making but he's certainly become the target of it and now i see at the very least it's very difficult for julie to escape from this mission his resignation of the u.s. house of representatives will vote this week on whether to formalize the impeachment investigation into president donald trump that would lay the groundwork for public hearings and outline how to handle evidence the movies in response to complaints from trump and some republicans that the process is illegitimate the president is accused of withholding military 18 crain in order to pressure the government there to investigate political rival joe biden some because the salumi has more from washington. this is been a main talking point for republicans that the impeachment is a sham because house lawmakers have yet to take a formal vote authorizing the hearings in fact last week

a group of republican lawmakers stormed a hearing room where a witness was giving evidence saying that it was being done in secret even though republicans were taking part in the process because the hearing wasn't out in the open they were in open to the public they were critical of that last week a federal judge actually refuted this claim and sided with democrats saying that they were well within their rights to hold these hearings that this had been done before prior to a formal vote on an impeachment but the administration is appealing that decision and nancy pelosi says that while it is a baseless excuse she's attempting to take that excuse away from the republicans and not give them reason to justify withholding documents and preventing witnesses from cooperating now the white house may still try to claim that witnesses have immunity and don't have to testify democrats have been dealing with that by taking

them to court and trying to get it resolved there but that's a process that's likely to take months to resolve so by changing their tactics democrats are saying that they are just going to use this as evidence of the administration trying to obstruct justice and bolster their case for impeachment rather than trying to fight to get the witnesses in front of them. firefighters in california battling wildfires across the state around 200000 people have been told to evacuate their homes and a state of emergency has been declared any chemical reports. fueled by strong winds and dry conditions wildfires continue to rage across california in sonoma county north of san francisco winds of hurricane strength help the kinkaid fire creep closer to its population help santa rosa the blaze forced 2 $100000.00 people to evacuate as daylight revealed burned homes and structures that wildfire now covers

a better chance of success after all the liberal democrats and the scottish national party have earlier announced a very similar plan they want an election on the 9th of december we are just focusing on getting a general election we'd have to do that with a bill to change the fixed term parliament act which could happen this week triggering the election perhaps at the end of this week and then the election day taking place on the night of december little difference between the 9th and the 12th of december you might think but the earlier date could tails the. of much ability to push through its bricks in fields and to learn students to vote before the end of the winter semester is a crucial difference possibly even for opposition support. although do certain always the brics it will not happen as johnson promised on october 31st the prime minister has formally accepted the e.u.'s offer of a 3 month extension with the possibility to come out sooner if parliament ratifies a deal this parliament or
