controlling or influencing the iraqi political arena and economics from beyond the government people activists peaceful activists whereas the targeted directly there is the head now and assassinated and throughout the past months just the where the the one year commemoration of the university of the october revolution not much has changed maybe in the early stages of theo who revolution last year we saw the resignation of the high minister and the really announcement of a possible as a nation by the president these are symbolic achievements of the youth this movement in the home revolution in iraq yet we don't have drastic changes we're told or lucian currently is not only focusing on our giving the political status quo in iraq but it's also demanding to get the justice of the chill of the assassinated piece from protests there is hope for 600 peaceful purposes were killed since last year by minister most of the hotel than we promised this

a school and school children could constitute a crime against humanity no group has claimed responsibility if. it's always shouting it's unclear whether the attack was linked to separate spiders active in the south west and northwest 2 english speaking provinces that have long complained of discrimination by the french speaking majority think. presidency and. being attacked and children being ready. as ready. and live on separatists have boycotted public schools for the past 4 years as part of their protests against president paul b. as government leaving hundreds of thousands of children out of school earlier this month the boycotts eased and schools reopened only for students to fall victim to this attack and schapelle al-jazeera. is president of the center for human rights

and democracy in africa speaking from cameroon he says the attack is a horrific escalation of long simmering divisions. it's clearly a. product that they got called to the. english speaking region for the last 4 years by about to come around to the consumer side to consult you started a part is that more just as moving and also as a result of those 2 government one of the trademarks of the protests has been schoolboy got a lot of last 3 years kids were not really going to school if you were going in some of my buddies and most of us approves the debts under good vince and those were our guns on the grounds called hall full of all schools to give something on its own but also the way few groups which were against kids going to school so these of him in my call within the jaw off on the fact that some group

did not want kids to board just school and also that it might be some legal forget also a few weeks ago didn't your kid was killed yellin really john and his body was exposing so he could also be something. on a neck tipped you know to the given of generality not who. sponsored the body if you cut the kid in to find the lives we just each of us did man the peano opinion not it would be one of the norms groups but are responsible for these atrocities. thailand is now and protesters have gathered in the capital bangkok after their demand for the prime minister to resign by saturday was not met prime minister prior turn channel china says he will not quit demonstrators say his hold on power is illegitimate after last year's distributed elections have held mass protests for weeks now calling for reform of the government and the monarchy al-jazeera is tony

chang is in bangkok with more. well the deadline for the time prime minister to resign search by the protest is now passed and as promised the protesters are now back on the streets but this is a rather different protest from the ones we've seen in before it started causing transportation to central bangkok the skytrain is still running the show. and lots of her songs some of the most like shows in thailand are still open and there are shoppers mingling with the protestors and here we have has become known as the sea are the famous food vendors so named because of the intelligence they appear to have far ahead of the police and the protesters about where the protests are going to take place the who was the 1st ones here the one piece of intelligence they don't appear to have is where these protests go next the prime minister is moving neither of the protesters there is an extraordinary session of parliament starting

tomorrow to try and discuss ways to resolve this case but with neither side moving mongols. tony chang al jazeera bangkok. chile now and polling stations across the country have opened for a historic referendum on whether to change the constitution mass protests that saddam last year led to the referendum demonstrators want an end to a dictatorship era constitution that they say promote social inequalities more than 14000000 people who are eligible to vote let's be. america is in to see a new man who's live for us in santiago in the historic vote this was one of the main demands of protesters since last year tell us 1st how the voting is going. that's absolutely right we are at the national stadium this is chile's perhaps most emblematic and the largest polling station it was used as

a torture and interrogation center during the pinochet dictatorship but now people have are here armed with their pens blue pens each of them their hand sanitizers and face masks because of the pandemic to vote in this historic as you say referendum and that there's a mixture of feelings many people say that they are feeling hope others a bit of of insecurity about exactly what is going to happen in the country afterwards but but by and large we're seeing a very very large turnout indeed for this historic date or rather for this date with chile's history. a message impossible to miss displayed in for these presidential palace approve a new constitution for a better future it says. on the other side street that the united is joined to the celebration so that her daughters she says could live in chile with dignity. and

our constitution is our original sin it regulates what we can and cannot have and clearly it's no good. 40 years ago military dictator general. called for a new constitution to be drafted it was all for tarion it also concentrated in extreme free market economic model with almost no state oversight it was ratified and why in contested referendum which is why these people say that it was illegitimate from its conception all. 3 years is that an emmy has become known as an american success story the fact that the government has been forced to cave and it demands this new referendum seems to suggest that something was seriously wrong . chillies not the poorest country in latin america by a long shot but it has the highest income disparity the constitution does not

guarantee many basic social rights as in most modern democracies. when millions of chileans took to the streets last year to demand better minimum wages education pensions and health care they pointed the finger at their politicians but also at their magna carta going to look at the silk us a government that are going to us our constitution basically recognize private property as the supreme right above all others the rights of an individual or private interests take predominance over those of society as a whole. but critics insist drawing up the current constitution and starting from scratch creates false expectations and economic instability not. ultimately blames chillies. not change things. that are pretty well bottom up reports that drastically transform be acquired everyone and. that's the pessimistic view but right now the prospect of

drafting a new constitution with a popular input is seen as a major triumph by those who are hoping to set chile's democracy on a new more socially equal path. so lucy a what are we expecting then from the outcome of this referendum and hopeful that it can bring about real change. we'll certainly have many many of the borrower they wouldn't be here voting especially those who are going to vote of course in favor of having a new constitution all the polls suggest that this will be approved there seems very very little doubt of that the question is by what percentage and also whether or not there are 2 ways to approve a constitutional referendum just the referendum but the way that it will be carried out one is what they call a mixed convention that means half the delegates would be members of the upper and lower house of congress or the whole lot of them would be elected by popular vote

so that is what would jillian's also have to decide the more conservative people in the country want to be in the mix version because they while the others say that they don't want the current politicians that have been so discredited in chile to have anything to do with the new constitution this is what we're hearing over and over again now the interesting thing is that the polls here opened but in another country in new zealand where there are a large number of chileans who are also allowed to vote those results have already come in 93 percent voted approved and only 7 percent were against rewriting the constitution so that gives you at least an idea what chileans in new zealand are thinking about this thank you for that lucien human with the latest there from santiago. plenty more ahead on this news hour why several aides to us vice president mike and said sponsor for over $1000.00 raising concerns about safety protocols at the white house and one of the biggest names in combat sports

announces his 3 time in t.v. media to defending his title details with joe late. several european countries are taking drastic measures to slow the 2nd wave of covert 19 a state of emergency has gone into effect in spain prime minister pedro sanchez wants bottoming to extend the measure for 6 months while in italy. has implemented new measures including the mandatory closure of all bars by 6 pm let's get an update on the situation across europe with paul brennan in london so paul 1st of all another european leader testing positive for cope it. yes news in the last hour that the bulgarian prime minister could borrow a soft has tested positive it's a bit of a to and fro this initially he had been told to self isolates along with 3 other

cabinet ministers after it was realised that he'd come into contact with a person who had tested positive for corona virus then yesterday saturday decided that they he didn't need to continue with that quarantine and then lo and behold today mr barroso himself has announced on his own facebook page that he has actually now tested positive after 2 tests and that he will now go into the mandatory requirement to self isolates so an indication that the pandemic is not just on the general public it is reaching into the high ash lawns of government because for example the italian president as well has also tested positive for corona virus right end records are being broken in places like the netherlands tell us more about some of the measures that are being implemented in some of these countries to to tackle the 2nd wave yet. the other 2 big ones today spain and italy the prime ministers of both of those countries have come out and

announced tighter restrictions that span of course. exceeded 1000000 cases of coronavirus the 1st european country to do so they did that on weapons day and petr sanchez the prime minister has given a televised announcement this lunchtime announcing a raft of new restrictions the primary primary one is a curfew between 11 pm and 6 am local regional leaders will be able to adjust that curfew but only if they actually make it more severe so if they want to bring it in earlier or extend it later in the morning then they can but they certainly won't be able to make it any week or less stringent other things that spain are introducing for example other that be able to close regional borders to travel and limit gatherings to 6 people who don't live together and the measures will start initially for 15 days but petter sanchez said he was going to go to parliament this week and hopefully parliament he said would vote to make it

a 6 month state of emergency this is the 2nd national state of emergency that spain has enacted as a result of this pandemic and as far as italy goes the italian prime minister giuseppe concept has come out and he this morning another televised address launched new restrictions for example on gymnasiums on for example fares has cinemas swimming pools they must all close restaurants and bars will have to stop serving at 6 pm that happens from monday so you can see the way that this pandemic is raging like a wildfire across europe is forcing the hand of the country's leaders across this continent thank you for that update cold rain and live there in london. a saying in europe protesters in bella rules say time is up for president on xander look to resign police have fired tear gas in arrested dozens of people in the western city of thousands are rallying ahead of a midnight deadline given by the opposition leaders that manotick an os chaos she

says look i must step down or face crippling general strike claimed victory in a disputed election in august let's speak to carol about this he's c.e.o. at the center for european policy studies and is via skype from brussels sink you very much for being with us mr lionel so sunday midnight is supposed to be alexander lukashenko last day in office but he's of course showing no sign that he wants to give up how well laid out is the opposition's plan to force him out you think will this ultimatum succeed or is it going to be a fall in your opinion. yes difficult to say but that surprising because it was again they are all but assistants the resistance has been the whole they've managed to send it come out like this suddenly again but more than 100000 protesters even if the police the army has been very forceful it was sometimes prevent and so i do not expect to question call to step down today but i think going to sice is

a man 6 that is strong we also see that all you will be but also the united states the not the western countries have given very clear why are excellent question and had think sooner or later he will have to step down and has to be able i mean the opposition is also extremely strong because this lady she cannot scalia has managed to galvanize new enormous i mean support for her as a nurse or a c. called herself a house of vitamin c. b. speakin the president elect at least let the circuit last fight most european countries to always get that support for herself i expect us to question who will have to step down and sooner or later also the security forces will begin to trade more and more by people from the opposition and he will have to stir up a policy dare county say to. step down but a lot of these opposition leader have either been arrested or out of the country like to can ask a are the next few days are going to be

a test for her and her authority are they not i mean she's been out of the country since august almost all the other opposition leaders are abroad or in prison how much support and legitimacy does she still have within ukraine and you know how much can the momentum go on for still. i mean to going to stores i mean support i mean yes what you see basically today happening in fellowship but what we've seen happening over the last weeks and months and she's also said that she only wants to be president elect for 6 months i mean she wants to be dead just to ensure that we have an orderly fair and free election which basically didn't happen before and that she will do this for 6 months not longer but a species doll that because her husband is not present and her husband was the leader of the doctors decision to have to try to stop them but we need to know all it is that the bolt hole notwithstanding all of the security forces have to do all of the state tests are trying to do against for example the use of the internet the

use of telecommunications people have continued to communicate to each other and had managed to resist and had managed to all is calm on the streets and said look i should go now it's enough and that's not to be heard again today right but there's this domestic pressure and also the international pressure that we've seen and look at shankar does it make a difference at all when the police and army are still solidly behind him that we don't know let's a.b.c. let's say there are some changes also there but i think it can only function riddick's seemed better on the side of caution who has the security forces the worse the floor and i don't think that gets better likeness or it will have even more brutality and even more aggression and then we'll go into the action of what we've seen in syria or at some stage you question will have to step down we also need to know that you question who has been a power for more than 35 years he's been there for a very long time basically he cannot now start with the monarchy because initially

he wanted to have his son to become his successor i mean he will have to have saluted the missy and he hasn't got it for the moment thank you so much for talking to you free of yours caroline who is from the center for european policy studies live there from brussels. opposition bodies have been holding a rally in pakistan's we're not just on province it's the 3rd mass demonstration in quite a against prime minister eman khan in a week of an organized by the pakistan democratic movement which was formed last month by 9 major opposition parties the movement accuses the military of backing khan in a rigged election 2 years ago. the opposition candidate in seychelles has won the presidential election in an upset by vale rum color won gained more than 55 percent of the total votes cast as the 1st presidential win for the opposition in more than 40 years since independence from britain malcolm webb reports. it's the 1st change

how i welcome to another look at the international forecast is looking pretty quiet looking lovely actually across much of the middle east at the moment well as the clear skies a little bit of showery activity taking place across the eastern side of the mediterranean but even around the event it will be fine into live with pleasant sunshine temperatures up around the 30 degree mark into the mid thirty's there for baghdad i'm full q 832 in doha and with light winds it really will feel lovely as because through the next couple of days that fire in the settled weather stretches right across the peninsula we have got some showers just around the horn of africa which to the south of actually we've got some showers just feeding their way into somalia that could lead to some localized flooding of course sherri activity just running its way into central africa pushing across into the gulf of guinea some big

a lot of the a possibility here further south of this generate draw although we do have a few showers just around the eastern side of south africa hanging on to the heat into harness berg and also into gov on temperatures here at around $35.00 degrees celsius not warm weather will continue as we go one inch you choose to follow dry for much of south africa one of 2 showers making the way into madagascar the northern pass mozambique. but. when covert 19 1st struck china and began to spread across asia. some in the west criticized countermeasures us to harsh or too weak. but have the different experiences before asian nations in fact not shown the world to root out of this group endemic. coronavirus lessons from asia on

a jersey to. examine it mean packed of today's headlines with a scale from 0 guns just a mistake but we don't basically give setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions my blood probably in my hole as this my old bean has been weaponized international film makers and world class journalists tell us how and why the textile and fashion industry is a major force the polluters bring programs to inform and in spying. on al-jazeera. the evening.

you're watching the news on al-jazeera with me fully back to pull out a reminder of our top story security forces in iraq are 5000 gas at protesters trying to get into baghdad's fortified green zone the demonstrations against corruption and unemployment 1st began a year ago hundreds have been killed since their. polling stations in chile have opened for a referendum on whether to change the constitution mass protests that started last year led to the vote demonstrators say the dictatorship era constitution promotes social inequalities and european nations are taking drastic measures to tackle rising number of covert 1000 infections a state of emergency has gone into effect in spain and italy is imposing new restrictions including closing bars by 6 pm local time. by us media reporting that several people in vice president mike pence inner circle

have tested positive for corona virus one of those is his chief of staff mock short who is in quarantine and his wife are reportedly in good health and have tested negative live to patty cohen in washington d.c. for is so funny the vice president maintaining his campaign schedule despite his chief of staff and several members of his inner circle testing positive. exactly a stark contrast to his opponent kamel harris when she had members of her staff test positive she stayed home for a couple of days off the campaign trail just to make sure she was ok but reportedly this is a story the white house tried to keep secret and there's you can see why what's happening with crowbars pandemic right now across the country most states seeing daily spikes that are hitting record levels we're starting to see hospitals come under stress so the last thing they want to be talking about is the corona virus and it does cast into question just how seriously they're taking not only the virus

and what it's doing to the country but the security at the white house remember this is the president had coronavirus ended up in the hospital and still people walk around the white house complex without masks the vice president as you mentioned he's going to go on the trail they say that he's negative when asked about it they said well the vice president is an essential employee i think that could be called into question at this moment but this again calls into question exactly what the white house coronavirus task force is doing cases are climbing the vice president is in charge of that task force and his own chief of staff now is going to be quarantined until after the election and just 10 days to go before the votes patty president trump on the campaign trail this sunday he's going to new hampshire and maine way to new hampshire everyone seems to be going there mike pence was there 4 days ago tell us about the significance of this state and also the other one that is going to today. well. he's going to maine and there's good

reason to go to maine if because they're one of 2 states that actually split their electoral votes so he's obviously thinking that it could be close he won one of those electoral votes last time around so obviously he's thinking that this is going to be close he's going to need every one of those electoral votes to get to 270 new hampshire i can't really explain that you because i think any political analysts will tell you it just doesn't make any sense there are 6 states the president has to win there states like florida that he has to win and he's actually polling fairly close to biden but instead of spending this time in florida a state that could give him the presidency again he's going to new hampshire where he's polling like 10 points behind biden and has been consistently and there's no clear way that you can see a path for him may eat up that sizable deficit in such a short period of time in another blow as he heads to the state there's a very conservative very influential newspaper in the state that has only ever endorsed republicans except for 4 years ago where they endorsed

a libertarian candidate they're actually endorsing joe biden and that is something that people in new hampshire will probably pay attention to and it's coming just as the president heads to the state for some reason to try to make up a 10 point deficit with 9 days to go thank you for that patty cohen i for saying washington d.c. . now donald trump's when 4 years ago west bought me down to a certain group of voters white suburban women but as he begs for another term in office it's unclear whether he has what it takes this time to win them over wasn't on recourse. it's the 1st rule of running for office ask the people for their vote but begging for support this close to election day that might be a sign of desperation shift bergrin women would you please like the. i say damn neighborhood ok donald trump's campaign is faced with

a problem polls say the president is losing a key part of his base suburban white women voters to his democratic rival joe biden in a recent washington post poll 62 percent said they were planning to vote for biden versus just 34 percent for trump you know instead of just being a candidate and having of the candidates record to run on we have 4 years of a trump record is women i think largely viewed as a failure on a number of levels and i think that's going to and of encourage them to show up make sure we don't have another 4 years of political experts say in 2016 republican women overlooked trumps massage any because they liked his conservative economic policy but this year these voters are alarmed by the collapse of the economy. as well as by trump's apparent stoking of racial tensions in the country they say what matters most is the president's handling of the covert 19 pandemic he has

really lost that group of women with their concerns over the coronavirus the health of their families women are more burdened by by the childcare by the educational difficulties by their parents being in situations so he has lost a lot of this support. and it may make the difference for him women's suffrage was born from a desire to the truck campaign strategy reminding women that the republican party fought for their right to vote 100 years ago and with one unified voice we will vote for freedom why do you say these caps and resurrecting the party's racially inflammatory law and order message of the 1970 s. and 1980 s. i'm sorry that there is no one here to answer your march to call if you were elected this guy the suburbs would be overwhelmed with violence and grime meantime biden supporters see their chance to win over republican women for you to

grow up proud and strong in an america that believes in you and to a return to civil political discourse and fight like hell on the floor and then they go eat lunch together because they always put their friendship and their country 1st the party that's going to win over these moderate voters and the suburban women voters is the party that able to prove that it's really going to unify the country and help us heal after all the trauma that we've been dealing with for the past 4 years the suburban housewife line is getting donald trump applause you know what women want more than anything else they want safety security and they want to be able to add that housing. whether that applause translates into votes where the president won't be known until election day rosalyn jordan al-jazeera washington. arnett speaks more about this now to an owner akeson who is a professor of political science at the university of new mexico she is via skype

from santa fe thank you so much for being with us 1st of all just 4 of us a clarify when we hear donald trump talk about suburban women he's of course talking about white women he's not talking about black women who live in the suburbs how central ave to the 2020 lection. well women in general are very central to the presidential election because they represent a larger bloc of voters they represent a good 10000000 or more voters in the electorate than men and so women have made the difference in a lot of campaigns and you know we focused on a soccer moms before now we're focusing on them as suburban women right as you say historically women have been more reliable voters than men and even a small shift could make a difference in who wins or loses in november at the issue level what are they most concerned about and who do they trust the most you think to deliver on these issues we know in in the in most most voters or nature of the times voters and so cope it

is the overwhelming issue on the table that's right in front of everybody it's affecting everybody lives in multiple waves and. as you're you know pretty pre interview sat you know they're focusing on and having to deal with their children their parents there's a lot of stuff going on for women in the suburbs and women all over the country when it comes to comit in coded is the primary issue as as those numbers rise right now that is surely bad for president trump right according to polls a growing number of white women who voted for him in 2016 they say they won't do so this year but of course as we saw in 2016 polls are not to be entirely trust said what would be the reasons you think behind this shift would it be just down to cove it. i think it's you know it's primarily covered in the impact of code it on the economy and the negative effects going on in all kinds of different different

aspects of people's lives again you know covert is really what is front and center and then it is impacting so many other aspects of policy education health care what if you need something else and of course jobs and employment so it is affecting everything and it is not looking good right now what about the non-college educated white women how much are they still behind donald trump you think right right well you know certainly i would say more so than the suburban college educated woman which is you know really that's what that's focusing on but the you know high school educated in women unless while they're still turning more towards term certainly not as much as college educated women ok thank you very much for talking to us going to x. and professor of political science at the university of new mexico thank you for your time israeli government has ratified
