the outsider must now nominate a replacement within 15 days 6 it's a murky and often lengthy process that requires consent from shia sunni and kurdish parties as well as regional and global power brokers. more than ever the choice would have to be accepted on the streets it's a daunting task for political parties put himself face the wrath of the protestors the harlow. with the biggest block based on the last parliamentary election we have to nominate a candidate form a government with guidance from tata outsider we will cancel sectarian and political appointments system to give the right to the protesters because the people are the largest bloc and the demonstrations are where the 2nd phase has been made the candidate the people will be at choices well. but in a lot of people's choice would require fresh elections a key demand of the protesters who want to destroy all of this governor.

a very very popular prime minister he won 2 elections by a landslide he is hugely charming he really found the ruling labor party and only last april may he won do european lectures with another landslide so all this is happening just a few months after that and it has been brought about because of the public protests out there and of course because there is a case a very serious case we're talking of a case of a murder journalist here which has gone straight to the very top. they've been a series of coordinated protests across latin america this sunday from mexico to argentina demonstrators have been banging on pots and pans to express their frustration of a growing inequality and widespread corruption the same happened in chile rocked by weeks of violent protests this inhuman reports in the capital santiago. a wave of political and social unrest is sweeping south america and swale has already
5:11 am
been in turmoil for years but in the last 4 months presumably stable countries have a rapid leaving death anger and political instability in their wake a very small elite leap. with extreme violence through history that's part of looking america so when people rebuild the rebel violently. first came ecuador where a steep rise in the price of fuel was the last straw an uprising led by indigenous ecuadorians brought the government to its knees. the symbol livia will rage over president ever would alice his insistence on claiming victory in an election marred by indications of fraud lead to his forced resignation and ongoing unrest. but by far the biggest surprise has been chile considered an oasis of
5:12 am
political stability and an economic model for the region. anger over social inequality demonstrations human rights violations by security forces looting and then dualism have brought the country to the verge of recession in less than 2 months here in chile the protest shows no sign of abating in fact they are turning out to be an inspiration in other latin american democracies to a dissatisfaction with the economy and the political status quo have long been simmering was colombia which has a similar free mark. good economic system is beginning to look like a copy of chile aggravated by already existing violence by drug traffickers left and right wing rebel groups and a peace agreement with fart rebels that has collapsed amid charges of government sabotage. the largely uncontrollable uprisings and a weak response from democratic governments threatens more than social order well i
5:13 am
think that's a threat to democracy in america so that we have to make all efforts to ensure that this social mobilization these protests in even riots don't end up again in authoritarian or dictatorial regimes. inequality isn't new but what is is a region wide awareness that people of all social classes have rights to decent social services and salaries to live in a democracy free of abuses and widespread corruption and most of all the right to take action there's little doubt that credible political institutions and a recalibration of the region's economic priorities can't wait to spawning them could have unforeseen consequences you see in human al-jazeera sent the al. well colombia has faced its 10th day of nationwide strikes and mentioned that in

5:15 am
in the country alarming rate and banging on top some bands that is not a traditional way of protesting again not colombia but it has been that this symbolic way in which for the family asleep people have come out to brought this also the fact that the government and local media media have been focusing on sporadic cases of vandalism and violence and not on the fact that these approaches that have a call to this street an unprecedented an unprecedented number of people in that country what's clear is that people are animated and that this strike here in colombia will continue in the coming days. lots more so it's coming on the news hour including pushing for an aids free africa leaders from the u.n. and health care industry to meet in rwanda to talk about spread of the disease. and shot to dreams why millions of children living in the slums of bangladesh fail to complete their education class signing off in style. world champion lewis hamilton wins the final race of the formula one season and all the action and reaction in
