border but what made little sense in that matter was that none of these countries are really safer than the other which is why these policies were criticized by humanitarians as deliberately putting vulnerable people back in danger by then ending these agreements now really changes nothing on the ground because there's still no decision on in his administration is part of what to do with the thousands of asylum seekers who are waiting at the southern border who are in mexico as you'll recall biden has pledged to undo all of trump's conservative border policies but there still has been no decision about how to resolve them and what is the other option but what is assured is that there are thousands of migrants who are now journeying north and are now at the u.s. border and they are growing by the day and this is putting an immense strain on the

a health crisis as it is in many countries it's also of course a social crisis people losing their jobs so there's a lot of general anger also before the pandemic this huge social uprising where people marching and those protests were being well repelled by very brutal police force so there's a lot of tension and especially if you're talking about the southern town it's also in the area that that's considered to be of the approach it is in as people there it's also being repressed a lot so there are so many tensions and when stuff like this happen it's just explodes at once and we saw last night what happened of course. the brutal police force the police misconduct under scrutiny once again in chile how has it got to this point. well it's always been like this in the last couple of decades because the police institution has never really been reformed since the years have

been a chain dictatorship of course that ended in the 1990 s. . so there's never been a real police reform and we saw the results of the lack of those reforms a social uprising basically all the major human rights organizations came to chill and they saw that there were serious human rights violations but they're still now and not real any reforms people the police don't really know how the 3 to work with something else than just the excessive force that they display every time so it's something that really needs to be reformed and quickly and especially profound in this case a police officer has been detained there is an investigation underway will this calm people do you think i doubt it because i said there's a lot of tension in general in chile in society at the moment especially directed towards authorities like to chill in police and just one detention is not enough to

stop these ongoing crimes because this. does happen in plain daylight it was captured by various phones so we could all see that this happened but there's a lot of human rights violations a lot of repression by the chilean police going on in the shanty towns near the capital and in the smaller neighborhoods the poor neighborhoods which we never hear of so it's only is only. the tension won't really call down the tension that there are right now but i doubt if the serious protests like we saw last night will continue. from a speck of good to get your perspective on this appreciate it thanks very much for the. number of. teachers and students in the philippines abang grief over the decision to allow military forces to enter the top state university critics call the move an attack on academic freedom read out and they can reports now from manila. if art is a reflection of society then this display of work by filipino artist email can be
