but target human smugglers. but his opponent has gained popularity with his get tough policy along chillies 1100 kilometer northern border. far right when presidential candidate or sampling jocasta's not only proposing to expel undocumented migrants, but also to dig a ditch along chili's poorest northern border with bolivia to keep them out. the ditch would be 3 meters deep and 6 meters wide. and it's the closest thing yet to form, were you as present in donald trump's wall along the us mexican border? except the cast is not proposing that bolivia paid for it. at v barrett, i came from columbia 6 years ago, legally and has been working ever since. she shows us how she's built her small house on another land grab, but she's worried. ilia montana is the bane of ways to morrow. they could throw us all out of here, like they didn't venezuela, to the colombians. and what happened now? the venezuelans are the homeless ones. no one knows when they might become

a migrant. and i've been like these venezuelan children cross the border into chile just this morning with their parents. what happens to them will depend a lot on who wins, sundays election to see and human al, jazeera it kiki les ring in alexandra m p. a t was also covering this election for joining us from santiago, alessandro. the mass in flux of migrants has become a big issue in this connection, in chile, what else will a voters be thinking of? what will be on their minds when they head to the polls on sunday? yes, fall. they just like migration and increase in crime and drug trafficking here in front and center in the minds of many voters chilion voters. and that's true both here and upper class neighborhoods like the one where we are and implore neighborhoods that more directly had to deal with the consequences of bad increase

in crime. and the far right the candy. they have been a great job truly to sort of tap into those spheres and the, and, and the, and if you add to that, add to that the fact that since 2019, now this country has been a rock the by almost unprecedented protest. and part of especially young, she land to sort of understand how that has helped or all of this has helped propel a cast to the top of the lot the in the 1st round. on the other hand though, there are many she lands that want to do something about any quality in this country, both socially and economically. and that's one of health to the left is the can be, it's gabriella vari, to come in a 2nd. but he's a millennial, he is a young candidate just 35 years old, just barely making the age to be able to run for president. ne,

come to represent the new sheila who wants to change this country, which remains the richest and latin america, but also a quite an equal country. and he's hoping to bring forward a number of progressive reforms, pension reform education reform, allowing more people to have the cation in this country. and that's something that is important to many people here in children, and it's a very close race. alexandra between conference boy tries either one has, has the edge at this point. well, the truth is, we don't know at this point. that's what we believe is the case, is what both candidates have been saying in a past day is that the, the polls that they've been seeing show that they are neck and neck. and this is truly see, or at least we think that it will shape up to be one of the most tightly disputed

election since this country has returned to democracy back in 1990 at the end of the api, no ship dictatorship. but there are also a number of unknowns for the last, the official pulls that we've seen are now. week old, the supporters are not allowed here to publish new pulled 7 days before the elections. we had a sneak peak to one particular poll that shows that the board went slightly ahead, but it's definitely too early to know what will happen tomorrow. and also i think very important here is the fact that just 47 percent of the electorate voted in the 1st round. so there is expectation to see more people will come out to cast about now that we know who the candy they are and how different is their view for the future of this country in the next 5 years. also add to the fact that this

countries in the middle of a process to draft the new constitution, kathy is against that process, which supports it completely. so we're going to have to see it tomorrow, right. what happens definitely too early now to tell. thank you very much. i listened around pity live in bo santiago. the algeria have been crowned our cub champions for the 1st time. the final against michelle was go less after 90 minutes, but in extra time substitute, i mean how you'd alisha shot that highly beaten is just keep them always hustle. the finals for was to nail denying tenicia their 1st half cup title since 1963. that hosting the, our car has given car the chance to test the new stadiums and the arrangement it's putting in place for next. yes, he for well cup that iran has been looking into what lessons the organizes have learned during the tournament. ah,
