that's the sort of all this misery they cannot absorb this number that people have to suffer and in this way it is unacceptable and refugees take on a. change comes a chill with most of the votes counted in a referendum people have chosen to rewrite the constitution. hello i'm ron come this is out there a life and also coming up. marking a year since the start of a major anti-government protests in iraq demonstrators say little has been done. shops close curfews imposed

a state of emergency in place new measures to stop the spread of code 19 across europe. trouble brewing in ivory coast tens of thousands of police are deployed ahead of this week's presidential election. we begin in chile where with most of the votes counted a referendum to change the constitution is on course to pass with an overwhelming majority since polls close several hours ago thousands of people have been gathering at a popular square in the capital to celebrate it was a focal point of last year's often violent protests against social and economic inequalities the government agreed to the referendum following those demonstrations chile's current constitution was imposed 4 decades ago under the military dictatorship of pinochet early results suggest people want

a body of specially elected citizens to draft the new charter which will then go to a nationwide vote. tellus president sebastian pinera called on the nation to work together. the most of this referendum is not the end it is the beginning of a path that we must all walk to give the to agree on a new constitution for to the power. until now the constitution has divided us from today we must all work to give the so that the new constitution is the great framework of unity stability in future. let's bring in boris found a speck in santiago he's the editor in chief of chile today news an independent news that website we often hear that this is dismantling the pinochet legacy what does it actually mean well it means this constitution is written during the pinochet years means that a lot of the people who are protesting it for at least one year and. dig out it

call it dignity square a younger generation has never left the dictatorship and who are right now living the legacy of that system which basically means a constitution it doesn't guarantee certain fundamental rights to them and they 'd were fed up they took to streets and they managed to get a referendum today a very large majority voted for a new constitution. but what we're looking at is a year earlier so this there were violent protests in santiago is there a confidence in sebastian pinera despite all of his positive words that he's actually going to follow through on this in the way that the protesters want. so that's a that's a good question i mean the protests have been framed as very violent but exactly one year ago 25th of october 2019 more than 1000000 people marched through its of santiago asking for change it was a very peaceful protest gunston to me the government of sebastian pinera strange

boat protests and being very violent and this is also why some protests already starting to say you know what we should not only get a new constitution but even ask be year old demand him to resign but what we're really looking at here is there's a lot of economic inequality in chile as well a new constitution that addresses human rights isn't an address the economic problems that really drove some of the protesters right that is exactly the question lots of people have so the expectations are very high for a new constitution and if you talk to people in the street you you nearly start to believe that a new paper a new constitution will solve all their problems and of course that's not the case but it's a beginning it's a very symbolic to end a constitution that was written in a dictatorship with such a huge popular vote such a huge turnout and that's very important for its you lanes but of course the real work starts now now it's up to the 2 lanes to vote to elect people who are going to

write a new constitution. to work on that economic inequality problems and then i think there was a realize that just writing a new constitution is not enough i mean those are the words that it's almost the was a sebastian pinera used any said look this is just the beginning so he's managing expectations. exactly i mean he is still at least 12 years in office and this is his presidential term he wants to make the best of it but his men date in diet government has been quite weakens because of the way to handle the protests in the beginning so the change the chyna will see will come after him will come off the current group of politicians governing cina because they are part of the problem and that's also why you see that option to choose for a group of people elected by the people and not just politicians who will write a new constitution were so popular people are fed 'd up with politicians is just

a lack of confidence that's how you going to explain it the best for us find a speck thank you very much thank you protestors in iraq of march 1 year since their movement against government corruption began several people were injured after security forces fired tear gas and water cannon at those trying to force their way into baghdad's green zone which houses government buildings many demonstrators say the government has done little to improve their lives some of the fulton reports. after months of quiet baghdad status square came alive on sunday to commemorate the one year anniversary of iraq's anti-government protests. 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 of part somber they rejoice to the beat 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 impossible but what we want now is our rights and the rights of the protesters who died. protesters climbed atop the barricades leading to the heavily fortified green zone which houses government offices taunting a ruling class they see as corrupt last year they forced the then prime minister i've been at the mahdi to resign but the parties in the system that brought him to power remain in place in order to still married in order to. give this constitution doesn't represent us it's a constitution that suits them because they wrote it to serve their interests these rich people who have hotels commissions and millions while we are here starving. but the movement has been plagued by disunity and the lack of organization most

protesters advocated peaceful demonstrations to watch. the revolutionaries agreed to make this a peaceful protest without is collision and they are voicing their demands in a peaceful way. but others decided to cross the barricades to the green zone in an attempt to lay siege to parliament riot police used tear gas to repel them resulting in several life injuries a government spokesman said. dozens of security forces were also injured when demonstrators threw stones petrol bombs and homemade hand grenades. but. one of the security forces present on the 3 barricades and atop the buildings didn't carry firearms the instructions were very clear and frank and until this moment there was high commitment from the side of the security forces to protect the protesters because the prime minister has called for early elections in june next year but many protesters feel the government hasn't done enough to meet their

demands for sweeping reforms. sunday's demonstrations were to some extent a test for the protest movement to see if it could once again mobilize crowds and while it was the biggest gathering in months the numbers were not what they used to be last year what remains to be seen whether the protest movement can once again galvanize support in the days to come we want to fault in all just era. france is reporting its highest number of single day corona virus infections have been 52000 in the past 24 hours cases that have been on the rise in recent weeks and they've now passed a 1000000 the surge is affecting many countries in europe the worst hit like italy and spain put new restrictions in place in place in the hope of avoiding another full. one of a string of protests in italy against pandemic related restrictions demonstrators
