power and the calls for comment are going to car about whether his little hope the latest cease fire will hold off from what we are now as a by john accuse each other of breaking it within an hour as. we begin in chile where the have been clashes in the capital as tens of thousands of people mark a year since the beginning of a protest movement against inequality in the country. the demonstrations 1st began last october rocked the government pushed out metro affairs and stopped a march because of the coronavirus but they have resumed over the past week ahead of a constitutional referendum that was a key demand of the demonstrators have been sporadic clashes between riot police and protesters in the center of santiago several people have been injured that's

latin america editor lucien human who's following developments in santiago the of the clashes ongoing leave syria. they're being as you say sporadic they've been coming in going i can see smoke billowing in front of me about 500 meters ahead which is a sign that somebody is putting up barricades and that usually means that water cannon and riot police follow but by and large it's been so far a very very peaceful and an extraordinary large demonstration i'm talking about tens of thousands of people coming out onto the streets to commemorate this anniversary of what in chile is called the social explosion that began on october the 18th of last year which clearly is still ongoing to keep some up people are leaving now the video for up to 8 hours on sunday occupying some tackles main thoroughfare parky dahlia which has been renamed dignity plaza and about 2

kilometers beyond that so a very very large number of people indeed especially since there is a curfew and a state of emergency still in force here in chile which prohibits gatherings of more than 50 people clearly the government and the police have decided that it's not it's not worth it to try to break things up at least not yet we've seen families children elderly people young people having picnics holding a celebration of sorts and others. who were injured and or killed during the months of protests last year. and certainly we can see a great number of people out on the streets that can you can you give us some idea of the particular demographic noose here we've been speaking about precious from the cost of living and inequality who is who is most affected by this. everyone in chile has been affected by. those somebody everybody has been affected

especially since the pandemic but the interesting thing to point out is that this is a social explosion as it's called it was carried out by people from the middle class and all the way down of course to the poorest sectors of the country i would say that a large segment of the population feels that the promises of social change that was supposed to take place with democracy when it began 30 years ago have not come to fruition education health care pensions and a whole array of other things such as that do are not not available to more and more people in this country minimum salaries but especially in the people voted me here up here to run from the tremor of the battery also the lower class neighborhoods the working class neighborhoods and they are certainly the most energetic ones of all left by no means the only people who are protesting out here today i've seen even people wearing a tie in a suit saying this system that we have here and it has to end. and one of the ways

they want that to happen is to have a new constitution there's going to be a referendum next sunday exactly a week from today where chileans will be asked whether or not they want to scrap the constitution that was left under the dictatorship of the general i will stop you know say and write a new one so that is what is supposedly or what is presumably going to be approved a week from today by a very very large margin according to the polls. all right thank you so much lucy newman there in santiago alongside a very lively crown thanks. we go to bolivia now where voting has wrapped up in a high stakes presidential run which was washed away by the coronavirus pandemic the leading contenders left wing former economic mysteries are safe from the party of the ousted president evo morales also centrist former president carlos messer computing many hope the election will restore stability to the country they live erupted in violence late last year when then president evo morales also forced in

a disputed election which was then an old extra security was deployed across the country with ballots of polling stations being kept under police and army god some residents have stocked up on food and fuel over concerns this election will revive the deadly clashes last year but fears of on the day vine is proved unfounded with voting passing off as fully. as to raise a boat has more now from a polling station and when a zire is where bolivians were casting their ballots. we're hearing that polling station important site is our own 800000 bolivians are expected to vote here in argentina this is around 2 percent of the trade told of the total electoral vote so what happened here could be decisive for the country's future and for bolivia's democracy this is a major test for bolivia after what happened last year in the last election that was her courage with accusations of fraud of irregularities that ended with the

restimulation of able more than i was asked precedents with an interim administration that it's currently ruling that country and where they were more irish whiskey or in argentina in exile the 2 main candidates are who we started so who is able morales finance minister and on whose acknowledge 400 what many say is ever no make that's the humbling of the economy situation in bolivia that left at millions of corporate and on the other one is carlos makes up who was vice president during the government out of one silo suntour to massada and really he resigned he became president of the country this is a step to be very tight election a 2nd round is expected in the country and because the electoral court does not want something similar to what happened last year they suspended their racquet clanking system that means that we're not going to have any restarts this sunday so rocked this rapid counting system critics trouble in the last election because it showed in the very beginning that there could be

a bit of confusion over what exactly that humanitarian ceasefire is about people here think that it's about an in their facilities when in fact it's really about bringing some. calm period enough to swap bodies and did. now do moment we don't know where that is heading we just heard from. and he said that they are ready to return some bodies to armenia through this prearranged door. as a budget and said that it has informed the international red cross about it but this statement did not say anything about do soldiers definitely. on the battlefield especially in the areas in the occupied regions around.
