their pension savings. it's supposed to be an emergency measure to help those hard hit by the pandemic make ends meet. but to many it means much more father to the standard he is who helps out a dissenting soup kitchen says it's seen as the 1st significant blow to the country's most loathed institution the private pension fund system because all of us think it's like 30 pesos metro fare increase that unleashed october social explosion it was symbolic a group together people's discontent and that's what's happening again. for president sebastian pinera it's a stinging political blow made worse because senators of his own conservative coalition helped to prove that condoms to greet the initiative will further reduce chileans already meager pensions i think that. i have time prices governments in particular governments that can borrow like to live or to be paying

the bill and i think it is certainly not a very good idea that in the absence of government people have to pay for the crisis with their own savings. yet the initiative has overwhelming popular support some accuse lawmakers of populism but many others blame the president for people believing it's their only option to knock food boxes another government aid plans have arrived late if at all and have been insufficient looked at a lot of. sense much opposition and even pro-government dip u.t.s. have been proposing broader measures with less red tape and small print now it's too late people go longer trust the government's promises. allowing people to dip into their savings we have a direct impact on capital markets and chile's currency but the alternative also has dangers since the prime barracks started with the area which was known as

ground 0 during months of social demonstrations has been fairly quiet but as well supporters and critics of the bill recognize there's a tremendous risk of a rule explosion of a while in demonstrations should the president decide to the bear were sent to the constitutional court as he has ever played in the may. just before the vote a small group of demonstrators defied the lockdown and came out to show their support for the bill they were quickly arrested but they didn't seem too upset apparently convinced that the end is near for a private retirement system that millions of chileans believe takes their money while giving them nothing but paupers pensions in return. you see in human al-jazeera santiago still had an al-jazeera on a mission to mars find out who has just joined the race to explore the red planet.

on al-jazeera. the arab to. georgiades here a reminder of our top stories this hour fires on the streets of portland oregon protesters are angry about federal officers who've been sent in to control demonstrations the president donald trump has promised to deploy more officers to the cities of chicago and albuquerque to combat what he calls wising crime. 45 people have been killed in airstrikes in western afghanistan according to local officials a district governor in the province of products says at least 8 civilians died in

the attacks he's blaming afghan forces members of the taliban were also killed. brazil has reported a record daily increase in corona virus cases of nearly 68000 it's the world's 2nd worst affected country after the us with more than 2000000 infections. well a german court a court in the german city of hamburg has just given its verdict in the trial of a former nazi concentration camp guard 93 year old brian o'dea has been accused of complicity in the murder of more than 5000 people during world war 2 the mccain is live for us from len just tell us what's been happening. well the court has delivered its verdict that this defendant is guilty of the charges presented proffered against him namely that he was complicit in the murder of more than $5000.00 people at the concentration camp of tough which is now in

poland but then it was in inside nazi germany the case the prosecution made was that this defendant's physical presence as a member of an s. s. unit in the camp was sufficient for them to say that he was complicit in those crimes point to make also is that the court that was here. during this trial is delivered this verdict was a youth court because the defendant was 17 when the offenses that he has been convicted of took place which means that the sentence that could be passed on to him is different to that which could be passed by an adult court he's been given a suspended. sentence now thing what this also what makes this about is that this is likely to be if not the last one of the very last chances that the german federal justice system justice system in this country will be able to prosecute people who they accused of crimes during the nazi germany era

another thing to point out here is that this individual convicted has he has been of his complicity in crimes in the shutoff camp where many of the other people who were in the units that he was part of in that camp were never prosecuted indeed the man who had been the commandant of that camp was prosecuted by the west german authorities many decades ago and received 789 year sentence compare that with what we're seeing now and many people are asking why is it that so many people who were deeply intimately personally collect personally connected with the mechanism of mass murder were never prosecuted this individual has been prosecuted and has been found guilty doubly what kind of interest has this case being provoking in germany . well it goes along with the idea i was

saying in my 1st answer this idea of how did how does germany come to terms with the crimes that previous generations were guilty of and there are many who say it's important that modern germany democratic germany the generation that have no association whatsoever with what took place during the nazi era they. prosecute those who are still around who could have been prosecuted before but again it's worth stressing this individual was interviewed extensively by west german police in the early 1980 s. they were fully aware of what he had done what he had not done and they didn't do anything about it and it took another 30 years for the successors to those who didn't vested gaited his crimes to decide that what had happened needed to be prosecuted that is what is definitely in the minds of many people right now and for those who suffered at the hands of the nazis suffered at the hands of individuals

such as the person convicted today all they say it's important that they get their chance to have what happened to them their harrowing ordeal as this their their all deals with their survival that they get their chance in court to confront the people who made them suffer those ordeals and so for them this is just this very late but just this nonetheless as dominic bring us up to date on that from berlin dominic thank you very much indeed. victims of sexual abuse in indonesia are being failed by politicians according to children's rights activists a bill to tackle sexual violence has been dropped as the government deals with the coronavirus pandemic as jessica washington reports from jakarta experts say vulnerable children are facing even bigger risks. in the city of deployment. this is where children can come together to play thing and to be safe it's

a place for children who would otherwise spend all day on the street. is a volunteer at the shelter she spent her youth on the streets and you know firsthand how perpetrators of sexual abuse target these children. living on the streets or sleeping in front of shops is a nice but if someone suddenly offered you access to an apartment facilities who would refuse there's no concept of social distancing here for these children food and a safe place to rest or more pressing concerns than covert 19 the volunteers who run the show to say sexual predators use accommodation and food to target children. and. street children are very much at risk of sexual violence that's why we have to be patient embrace them and protect them but in many parts of the country children have been left to fend for themselves this is just one of many shelters across indonesia which has closed its doors because of covered 19 precautions alone on the streets and with nowhere to go child rights activists say children are now at even

greater risk of becoming victims of abuse. this month a number of child abuse cases have sparked calls for change including the case of a 65 year old french national who was arrested late last month accused of abusing more than $300.00 children in jakarta the accused committed suicide in his jail cell most of his victims were children on the street he lured them to hotels by pretending to be a photographer it was like before the corona virus outbreak the number of cases of abuse of children was already high the situation's only got worse now because there are more opportunities for the abuse to happen. despite this legislators have dropped a sexual violence eradication bill from their agenda and. it's not that we don't think the bill is important it's just a technical consideration we are finishing a bill about handling covert 19 we don't have time to finish the other bills activists say combating sexual abuse should be

a priority and laws need to be strengthened to either if they refuse to discuss the bill it means they fail to understand the need for protection for women and children against sexual violence. life has always been dangerous for children on the streets but the pandemic has highlighted just how vulnerable they are just in washington al-jazeera jakarta the united nations is warning that the outer world faces deep and long lasting economic consequences as a result of the pandemic the region's economy is expected to contract to by more than 5 and a half percent the economies of some countries might shrink by double that the un is warning the number of people living in poverty will rise by more than 14000000 possibly sparking more political instability. the region is blessed with tremendous diversity and put them. yet all arab countries where the oil rich me the income or least developed face difficulties in responding. the global pandemic has exposed in

cities so recently we've had the baidu satellite communication network up and running which is giving china its own independent set of communication capabilities within space so there is still some cooperation going on of course with the year in states and russia but that's obviously under scrutiny now so yes i think there is an increasing sense that that the desire to do more exploration around space and into mars is a set imbued with a sense of national pride and if you know what we're seeing with china now is it simply taking on what it's looking to achieve in other areas in suspects the strategies that are in place with nasa and the debate in place in india and china over kind of banged up very tightly with their senses national trying to
