get to but you know all along the route it may not be easy to. reach people out. you beat it on to haiti now the president has announced more than 20 people have been arrested for an alleged plot jevon a lawyer said the group had been plotting to kill him for more than 2 months supreme court judge and a senior police official were among those that detained let's bring in lauren to what is a professor of history at the university of virginia and author of haiti the aftershocks of history joins us by skype from dharma north carolina in the united states learned to brought thanks for joining us here in odds are it is a confusing situation but what do you make of noise a story of this attempted coup. well everything i'm hearing from haiti and just gathering the strands is that this is actually an attack against the opposition parties kind of an excuse to round out opponents the people who have been arrested

are a number of prominent voices have been critiquing his regime so to me it seems like the story is a cover for something very different and these arrests to what extent could they you know extract the power limit the power of the opposition movement. well it's important that today especially since february 7th and he said history is a very important date it's the anniversary of the overthrow of junk load of a in 1906 and also supposed to be the end of the president's mandate now there is a discussion and debate between opposition and president least about whether his mandate ends this february or next of yuri because of the circumstances of the election that brought him to power which were themselves quite contested and so that's the kind of point i think today was meant to be a protect it was going to be a potential day of protest against him and the beginning of more protests so it seems to me this is a preemptive move but i do not believe probably it if it's meant to be i think

a show of force it may be also a show of weakness and i suspect that the next days are going to see a great deal of response from the population in this opposition is gone so the president has to go slightly complicated isn't it by the u.s. position because they recognize that noise term ends in 2022 which is what he says so what bearing does all that have on all of earth. well that's very important obviously the u.s. has traditionally always played a very heavy handed role with him he's in elections right now however the u.s. is in a kind of peculiar position in a sense that there's a transition of course regimes in the united states and i suspect it might be that the u.s. position will evolve over the couple the next couple days depending on what they read into this particular these particular arrests which are certainly a serious moves on the part of the president and do seem to be part of a troubling pattern coming out of the presidential office we appreciate your analysis thanks very much indeed that's learned the professor of history at the

university of virginia thanks thank you know a police officer has been detained in chile over the fatal shooting of a street performer relatives and friends have gathered in the capital for francisco martin and her meadows wake the 27 year old was killed by police on friday it's all triggered a massive protests and several public buildings have been set on fire in america at its embassy in yemen was at a protest in santiago and has more on the fate of the police officer. he is in detention there is an investigation underway the prosecutor's apparently going to charge him with a murder. with those homicide with a a fire a weapon but the policeman claims that he acted in self defense so this is just the beginning of what could be a very long process and people here do not believe it was self-defense they say that the juggler was carrying sables but anyway the juggler was carrying a saber that he used for his for his act that were made out of tin. if this

is the case the weapon or the so-called weapon has now gone missing then it clearly could not have been something with which he could have killed the policeman so this is going to take a long time but it has as i say that inflaming passions and it's going to cause more and more disruptions hundreds and hundreds of people have been coming here to the house where my family lives and where his body is. you can see them some of them a lot of them behind me and they've been demanding justice they believe that he was murdered in cold blood by a policeman cold blooded murder of the policeman had fired 5 shots 2 of them at the ground and then the other 3 apparently directly at point blank range as might have been issued died on the side on the footpath right as a few minutes later so it is the latest incident that has inflamed political passions here we saw a bus just 2 blocks from here that was burnt by could it if people we don't know

who they were and we've also seen riot police water cannon trucks that are roaming this area but they haven't come yet however i can say that there are people who are carrying and holding rocks in their hands just waiting to confront the police at any moment and as it gets darker that is likely to happen as has happened so many many times especially when a protester or even in this case a simple street artist is killed by police. tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in man more in the biggest demonstrations yet today it's a military coup. for the days of growing civil disobedience including strikes internet access has been partially restored after a virtual shut down according to the militant blogs it's nearly a week since the army ousted the democratically elected government and arrested civilian leader since he changed rights groups say dozens of people have since been detained one of the protesters spent 12 days there she says many are afraid of

have to exit polls from 2 different pollsters so far indeed it seems like. the front runner here according to one poll he has 36.2 percent of the vote compared with the 21.7 percent of the for the conservative candidate last so the exit polls has him at 34.9 percent of the vote compared with 21 percent for last so if these numbers are correct and the 1st official results are expected in a couple of hours 5. the candidate would be 4 to 5 percent sure it's what he needs to avoid a runoff that's because according to ecuadorian law if a candidate gets 40 percent of the vote while also having more at least a 10 percent difference with the 2nd best candidates then he can win outright the

elections avoiding a 2nd round that doesn't seem to be this situation as of now but definitely this is that decisive victory for the candidate backed by a former president rafael correa in ecuador it all shows shows that many ecuadorians who have been hit hard by both depend and he can and in doing that konami crisis would like to see a return to these more popular socialist policies that they had under rafael yes so it's more about that because this is largely seen as a referendum on the president and his legacy. yes there were 16 presidential candidates on the ballot in today's vote but the name that you heard the most on the streets of keeton the other cities and quite there was actually someone who wasn't on the ballot that is former president rafael

moreno that was the center of the bait that shows just how large and how powerful a political figure he remains and. the front runner what's practically unknown to the majority but just the fact that he was backed by a failed could push them to the head of this very crowded group of candidates so we're going to have to see if indeed he will become the next president of ecuador what's clear that whoever that new president will be he will have to respond to this crisis that is growing 2 or most likely face more of the unrest that we've seen in the country in the last couple of years. thanks for that i was around pretty reporting that the militant nations special envoy to yemen is visiting iran for the 1st time to discuss the war
