a state of emergency new measures are in place across europe to stop the spread of covert 19. call for a nationwide strike in belo to sell off to the president ignores the opposition's demand to step down. as a festive mood in chile where a referendum to change the constitution looks likely to pass with an overwhelming majority since polls closed 3 hours ago people have been gathering at a popular square in the capital to celebrate the government agreed to the referendum following protests against social and economic inequalities which began one year ago on latin america editor on the scene human is joining us now from santiago it seems from the very early hours of this referendum the people were absolutely convinced that this was going to go ahead.

absolutely and they were right in fact with nearly 90 percent of the votes already counted it has been and landslide in favor of those who wanted or rather in favor of the choice of rewriting to constitution what i'm seeing now is something like 78 percent in favor and 22 percent against so that is clearly a huge majority and people are celebrating here people keep arriving it's 11 o'clock at night an hour to 2 hours a curfew will being put in place but that isn't stopping them this is happening in the same area where you and all of our viewers have been saying no massive demonstrations some of them very very violent and intense for more than a year now but now people say that they have something to rejoice something that is for them at least a victory now this is clearly a very very strong blow against the conservative party means that back president.

he had a hope that the results would be different but he eventually or fact quite early on he said that message to the chilean people a conciliatory one where he said until now the constitution has divided us now we will have the opportunity to come with a new constitution which will create a framework we hope for unity and stability for the future so that is his message for the chilean people hoping that this will somehow channel the discontent that has been destabilizing the country now for more than a year many people know that it's going to take at least 2 years to have a new constitution that that will only set a roadmap for the future it won't solve all of this country's problems but at least it does give them hope for a new beginning hopefully to will also bring some of these. violent protests that we've been seeing and would have wrecked a lot of property. which have reduced investment in the economy down and especially

now that the pandemic was i take it to a strong hit on the chilean people on the autonomy and on unemployment so there's a lot going on right now but for the moment people i just want to celebrate and embrace the moment and see if thank you very much indeed that's listen you've been talking to us from santiago let's bring in christine us a friend to this is a chilean political analyst who's joining us on skype also from santiago thanks very much indeed for being with us so 22 percent of people didn't vote for this who do you think they were oh well it's actually people from. sensitive then why do we need the center this is a better read it for them for the by we that in the conservative party sense and you could see that i mean in some. districts say there are 3 districts where actually their rejection of the referendum they won state basically didn't say.

anything nice actually continue they don't try to keep do something about it we can see that and then in than a more assembly they can barely actually lead to probably a 3rd of the seats in the assembly so they will have to do something for the heart to work but they ignore their to reverse these these trends one of the criticisms that had been leveled against the the current system was that it provoked or enhanced inequality can you just describe to those of us outside the country where that accusation of inequality man may have come in how did it affect the lives of people in chile. it affects an in all kind of a we had some mean since health i mean you know the pennsy chillies up and you say that depends where you were born it's the kind of like you're going to live so basically if you if you warn them in them in the least ethical and say areas of the

city you know you don't have a good health system we don't have a good education you don't have to transport it it's so it's not so you can actually dream to have a better life so it's basically affects all also to flights into late so that's why it's really important equal to to change the constitution because the constitution made in 1980 set it's almost it was more like a political constitution because set a wave of. economic system if i remember correctly columbia tried something like this in about 991 and it had very mixed results just because you rewrite the constitution doesn't really give anyone a guarantee that that is going to solve all the problems that chile is now facing. and they they they had this constitution it one of the things seen in colombia it's

the spite of the fact that they voted in everything and there was a. i think. political parties but dissipate in that way in chile they had to in inch make sure that there are a lot of voices who are to take part of the assembly because now in this referendum also we vote if it wants an assembly or some other kind of fascinating mix with the congress but he wants by 80 percent and a national assembly which actually gives parents he a gender parity it could integrate in indigenous people so we have to integrate more voices you know that does not happen in the same things that happen in colombia for instance really interesting to get your thoughts in this christiane as a front as we were prepared for joining us at all does it or thank you very much of the thank you. protesters in iraq of march 1 years since their movement against government corruption began on sunday they came out to renew their

call for action several people were injured out to security forces far tear gas and water cannons at those trying to force their way into baghdad's green zone which houses government buildings as a matter of halting reports many demonstrators say the government has done little to improve their lives. after months of quiet baghdad status square came alive on sunday to commemorate the one year anniversary of iraq's anti-government protest. students and teachers what previously marched to hear every sunday but had stayed away because of the coronavirus pandemic once again joined in. the atmosphere was part festive part somber they rejoice to debate of the same revolutionary songs of last year but also remember those who died for the cause. here. we are commemorating the youth who have died of old this time they still haven't done anything for us we don't have the homeland we are to get it seems
