face charges ranging from criminal association to rebellion and attempted murder. chileans are voting to choose delegates who will revise their outdated constitution but all stems from the pinochet area but is seen as a source of many of the country's problems the poll follows months of protests demanding changes in health education and pension reform latin america deter lucy newman has more from santiago. it's a historic election in more ways than one because it's the 1st time chileans will have a say in the formal rate a new constitution and document that will determine the country's economic political and social roadmap. beddes and her husband believe it's no small feat if he had one this will define our future that's why this day is so special and come to court appointed in order to make the necessary changes the social changes that we've been waiting for for so long. chileans are also letting
6:18 am
mayors governors and city council members but the constitutional vote is regarded as the most significant. the current constitution written 40 years ago under the pinochet dictatorship is regarded by a great many as illegitimate and the source of many of chile's ills for the 1st time anywhere in the world 50 percent of delegates to a constitutional convention will be women 17 of the $155.00 delegates will also represent choose indigenous people their existence isn't even recognized in the current constitution. and another 1st to prevent long lines because of the pandemic the election is taking place over 2 rather than one day that means these votes won't be counted until sunday the end of the 2nd day in the meantime these bins will be taped completely covered with seals that according to electoral
6:19 am
authorities will break of anybody tries to tamper with the votes and then they will be taken to a special security area and kept under guard by the army even so a lot of people don't trust the system this is a leader that you that's why daniel who works in front of his designated polling station is staying out for now but along with the us a common way to vote but more of us will go tomorrow because we've seen in many countries that when they leave the votes of a night's someone changes them. while chile doesn't have a reputation for vote tampering it's a reflection of how discredited political institutions and politicians have become in this country where millions are waiting for a new constitution to prioritise the social rights of the majority rather than the privileges of a minority you see in human al-jazeera santiago. what is under spec is the editor in chief of the new site chile today joins me now via skype from santiago
6:20 am
good to have you with us mr speck on the program we have in the weeks leading up to the selection talked about gender issues indigenous communities and equality what do you think needs to be readdressed in the new constitution that hasn't been fulfilled in the failed old constitution and the amendments of the past will some of them aimed the mantel of the protests in 2019 when this whole process started it was the fact that the current constitution doesn't guarantee things like education or health or pensions but even water in chile is so if you would talk about some problems in the current constitution it will probably be changed it will be in there the fact that water is a bubbling thing basic right that will return to the girls or to sion the fact that
6:21 am
health care. education a part of any normal country and should be included in the constitution and like you said indigenous people there will want to have recognition in a new constitution so these issues and topics will be fiercely debated obviously when those politicians are elected but is 9 months enough time to write not just the new constitution but to debate the laws around them. well that's going to be very interesting of course because we have progress of candidates but also but also a lot of candidates who are quite. happy about the current model and ok with the current constitution so they will be. holding off on blocking a lot of proposals from the more progressive agenda that's 9 months now it's a quite a short period so we have to see what happens there if they don't make it in 9 months they get another additional 3 months to finish their constitution but it's all it needs to be done in one year it is not the only one yet it will need to develop
6:22 am
a new constitution as it is in theory if everything does go to plan the people of chile will have another chance to vote again on the new constitution and the laws but in your opinion where do you see you might say the disagreements in the lead up to that vote because no process is perfect and one wonders whether you know women's issues or the issue of indigenous groups could actually be quite contentious in the long. that's true but i think the rights are progressive something in the new constitution will be an improvement of the old constitution was written in the eighty's although as has been amended lots of times there are 13 things about the constitution that are in a modern chiller just not functioning well so i think whatever is going to be outcome whether it's for indigenous people for the gender issues or for the social issues like i said education health care the new constitution is going to be an improvement but i think what most what is most important is the fact that the new
6:23 am
constitution will be written by an assembly chosen by she lay in so in the end you have a new constitution written by all chileans whatever the result we just have to wait one year and see what will be the outcome that the most important thing here i think is the fact that the constitution will be written by all she lays personal perspective if you don't mind me asking voter apathy is always an issue in any election across the globe what sort of enthusiasm is there for this vote from young people to old people what sort of conversations if you've been having. well what you really see here in chile if i talk to people the younger candidates will or younger people but also a lot of people is affected their struggle to understand what a constitution is and that's the logic i mean we in our normal lives don't deal with the constitution we deal with laws so it's very important to explain to people what a constitution is and what it means for a country political education civil education is not
6:24 am
a big thing in china so there's lots of young people who don't understand what's at stake but only other side it's the young people or fellow students students those protesting for months now we can vote on a constitution today so tomorrow is going to be very interesting because today turnout was very low i hope young voters will go to the voting bloc system are up to their stations across their votes and it's going to be interesting what will be the outcome but the most important thing here is that the people understand what's at stake in the constitution of course it's not an easy thing to explain indeed it will be interesting to see what the result has and perhaps we get some more insight from you in the days ahead boris vander spec thanks so much for joining us from santiago thank you. know india's government says quote a virus infections under outs are stabilizing to reporting the smallest daily rise in new cases in nearly 3 weeks but it says the virus is rapidly spreading through

rural areas and experts say most deaths are not being reported official say the bodies of around 2000 suspected covert 900 victims have been recovered from the river ganges the river flows through some of the poorest states of india where many families can't afford cremations and on saturday india reported around 3100 deaths and just over 326000 infections but a cutter is editor in chief of major story a news and current affairs program she's invited r.c. and eastern pradesh and told us what she's seen there. i personally went to a river bank by the holy ghost and counted 7 bodies that had to be buried in leadership leaves that had actually been abandoned nobody knows by who over the last 3 days i've travelled to the interiors and there have been it least 3 different villages where i have counted hundreds of bodies and it's gone well past 150 bodies that that your audience was told about in fact estimates suggest that
6:26 am
they could be 2000 up to 2000 bodies still to just floating about and uncounted and the college not even added. and basically we do not know if these bodies are being abandoned because people are stigmatized by having or did not have money that we should publish what we are. asked by. and the big question is these bodies are never going to be tested for prove it the way india is counting it's cool they did that these are the bodies that are not even going to be included in our final count so the moral question that's maybe the reason why the sight of the corpses in the leader of the ganga is this are we ever going to know the full scale of the calamity that is unsorted being killed in the region and in the uk that is the moral question that is really captured in the protein called says that i. see this in villages counted myself in the hundreds the vaccination is have

6:29 am
trends these sell fast and are discarded just as quickly but some people like jaded chong are doing their best to keep close in circulation for longer she and a friend started a close walking event several years ago. as we grow we actually influence more people to accept this concept of secondhand clothing. they charge $5.00 per person and everyone brings at least 5 items for swapping but is allowed to leave with as many pieces as they want so i think we should be recycling things much more we should be prolonging the value of these items more. another way clothes are kept out of the landfill is through research. customers shopping at secondhand stores are often those who couldn't afford new items but as it's becoming trendy to be thrifty the popularity and number of these stores is increasing the pandemic too
