a latin america editor lucille newman as the latest from santiago on the close race which was polarized opinion o, the left, a former student protest leader who in february terms $35.00, the minimum age for running for president. but again, no, i got them, but i was i see why, why did we become useless so much inequality? why did we allow it to grow before our eyes? never again, we will change it. on the far right, a 2nd generation german immigrant who supported chili's, former military dictatorship and believes that there is a global left wing conspiracy between the noise. we say, ah ha, mass chile will never be a marxist or communist country because we believe in freedom. this is kelly and bought each when he became a congressman 7 years ago for the newly formed left wing political coalition that pushed for structural social reforms. i. he represents a new generation that took to the streets 2 years ago,

demanding more equality in chile, which has one of the highest income inequality in the world than his symbol is this tree from what he used to imagine a better future critically from his home city of put that in us that overlooks the strait of magellan. agatha a single mother tells us she's not worried about his use. now, then began to look in to know them. i feel that's what we need to be a new vision, new ideas, more support for young people to get ahead. but some moderates and investors are frightened, but it is alliance with the communist party. what is has strange cas style to look a bit more presidential thinking has been re calibrating as you know, graham down to those that was billed to him as being rateable when he's not the only one who has very significantly tweaking his profile. former congressman cached is an old school ultraconservative catholic who opposes abortion and same sex marriage. his motto is make chilly. great. again,

he would expel undocumented migrants and his position on climate change is lukewarm . he would maintain chili's unbridled free market model and lower taxes have big business. but in recent weeks, he's reconsidered, allowing the military to make arrests without a warrant during the state of emergency. cast. biggest drawing card is, has promised to restore law and order money. do a thing what sheila most needs is security, but real. this was a peaceful country where anyone could walk around as when our get now it's not safer anywhere. cast represents the return of public order and respect for authorities. but each, the hope that dreams of social justice can come true symphony anthem blue will the loss since her different models confronts each other in the selection to generations with opposing visions of what she needs. but what her different ways of seeing life as well will we face convulsive times on the scene. either one could

become the next president of a country that has lost its political center. the very thing that the 3 decade seem to guaranteed shall, is reputation. as latin america, standard bearer of political and economic stability. lucy and human al jazeera santiago in the rest. latino and black voters say they're losing their right to vote. non white versus in texas. complain of being frozen out or to republican politicians campaign to have electoral maps redrawn following president donald trump's failure to get really reelected. as phil laval report saw the department of justice the suing texas. and it's a similar story across the us, texas a serving up for a fight on the political landscape and nod white voters are at the very heart of it . i feel ready. i don't have no voice. jerry. amanda is the word of the moment here . that is, parties deliberately changing political boundaries to give them an advantage. it's

not the people picking the politicians. it's the politicians speaking, the people people that are voting for them, remapping congressional district to dilute the opposition. and now the federal government is suing texas. the department of justice claims republican lawmakers are deliberately discriminating against a growing non white population. as a supreme court has observed a core principle of our democracy, is that quote, voters should choose the representatives, not the other way around. kaylee runs this mexican restaurant in austin. frustrated doesn't come close. yeah. doing that, there are just now representing that that's a lateral law mean is is that is awesome to us, to stand up and say something like it. now that he was going to give up. the democrats campaigned hot here in texas in the 2020 presidential election and assigning just how much they think best state could flip. now that didn't happen, but they are increasingly confident here. texas is no longer the certainty for the

republicans that it once was and not has got some in the g o. pe pretty worried texas gained to new seats in congress after the 2020 census which showed the population shut up by 4000000 over the last decade. 95 percent of that growth driven by black and latino arrivals to groups typically more likely to vote democrat. but there are no new minority dominated districts in the new maps to an interesting aspect of the american political process in which the process of drawing these maps as decentralized to the state level. most states have a very political process that runs to some degree or another through the state legislature. arm in those legislatures are part of and bodies, and they are gerrymandering nationwide from georgia to florida to north carolina, which is delayed next year's primaries because of legal challenges. but it is not just a republican issue. the democrats, of course, similar stuff in the past. right. so, i mean, what's the problem? well, the problem is, it's still under credit of the end of the day. and so,

you know, when me and my friends and different people i worked with and organized um, when not pushing to get democrats elected here. there's now with the fighters for right now, the congressional district, the state house districts, are all majority white here in texas, even though texas one of the most diverse dates in the entire country. republican governor greg abbott has signed off on the controversial changes. he's backed by the state attorney general, who caused the d. o. j lawsuit, a ploy to control texas voters, they're really going to be less hispanic voting for some of those voices. the solution is simple. if all of us show up to vote, we can, it doesn't matter how much a jury mannered the district we will win those seats. but the question, is it fair or even legal? the courts will have to decide on that one fed. lavelle al jazeera austin, texas let's get more in our top story, the legislative election in hong kong. how did we get to a point where every candidate is betted by beijing? well, in 2019 protests are opted against a proposed bill,

which allowed hong kong us to be expedited to china. it was later withdrawn the millions continue to demonstrate the demand, democratic reforms. in november of that year, pro democracy candidates won a massive victory and local council elections and a vote that saw a record turn out. then last year, aging imposed a sweeping national security law on the territory, his rights to free speech of political dissent. since then, prominent activists have been arrested, jailed or have fled overseas, that speak to where keith richberg, whose director of the university of hong kong journalism, a media studies center. he joins us now live from the case study with us with pro democracy candidates, launch the absent. that only was 20 of the 90 seats directly elected. what are we to make this poll? well, we shouldn't make of it. adrian is that this is an election that very few people actually care about. there's no real excitement, despite the fact that the government's been trying to drum up excitement. they've

been sending out a text messages telling everybody it's their patriarch duty to go vote to stop the foreign forces from underwriting hong kong. they've even offered free transport on all of the, some system on the bus system all day to try to encourage people to go to the polls . which never really made a whole lot of sense because most people walk to their local pulling place. but it shows that they're really trying to drum up some enthusiasm for an election when the most popular politicians are either behind bars or in exiles. so if we get a very low turn out, we can read all of that, that people have fall from happy. well that's what we would normally read into that, although the government's already covering their tracks on back one, carrie lamb. the chief executive here has said, well, 1st of all, she said she doesn't really care about the journal. and then later she said, well, if it's a low turnout, low turn out means that people are actually quite satisfied with the government. so that means they don't have to turn out. we've heard other excuses. now, other government officials and brand and aging officials saying that while foreign

forces and opposition leaders and exile have been trying to encourage people not to turn out. so that might be some kind of a dampening effect. and then we've heard some members are actually running thing. the problem is they redrew all of the various geographical constituents. even many people don't know where they're supposed to vote or even what constituency they're living in. so, you know, we still got 4 hours of voting left at this time. we've been voting for about 10 hours. it looks like it's going to be a pretty anemic turnout, but we'll have to wait and see, but it looks like they might get 20 to 25 percent. something in that range, which would be way down from the district council elections that you mentioned, which, you know, just didn't 201971 percent of eligible voters turned out in a better comparison might be the 2016 legislative council elections. so for the same body, and even then that was in the wake of the occupy movement. and then you had a 2200000 people and all gone,

the 58 percent turnout and that's swept in the office. many of the young local leaders who are now either in jail or in exile a keith. what sort of legislative council job to this patriots only election one that's in lock step with beijing eyes. you well, they say it's going to be very diversified. i think it's going to be diversified in the sense that you're going to having people who are very pro aging and you can have people who are very, very groping. that seems to be the defining line and all of this, you know, the, the democracy movement is, is sitting out the election because again, most of their members are either in jail or in exile. and those who are left decided not to participate in this thing. so it's going to produce an election that they've been bending over backwards to try to say that there will be diversity in this group. and that they're really going to challenge the government that really hold the government speak to the fire, i mean, but the whole point of this exercise was to reduce the number of directly elected c to 135. to reduce that down to 20,

they increase the actual size of the legislature with this both with going from 70 up to 90. what a good chunk of those. now we're going to just be appointed by the prob, aging body here. so they're, they're definitely the, representing the jamie and all of this. so the whole point of it is that the government should be able work through this legislature anything it walks. the complaint before was that when it was back with these new young former protesters who got elected and the old patent democrats, the old democratic party types, that they were stone walls. there were filibustering that were not allowing the government to push through its measures. and they said that everything was kind of sale needed. now they say this will be created to a patient legislature which will just got through government bills and then pass them and they expect a very high rate of government bills to be passed. i suspect that anything the government puts in will be passed by the legislature because that's what it's therefore keith. good to talk to you about the thanks. keith richberg that in hong kong. thank in nigeria,

finding an affordable place to live is becoming increasingly difficult in the africa's most populous country, which has a shortage of 24000000 homes. the problem is expected to get worse, but as i'm at at risk reports now from the capital budget property developers, a more interested in building high end homes for nigeria is emerging middle class 10 kilometers from the city center nigeria. his 1st smart home estate is opened. this fully automated house is why the record is returned to at the end of each day's work, at an investment firm in the capital. the couple say the smart home technology works perfectly for the live, the lead. there's that come of finance of not having to money do things. you can program them, you know, as you want it to be, what ever since your lifestyle and it's those lifestyles which real estate

investors, i increasingly paying attention to as a growing middle class. and nigeria is living abroad and spend their money. there is a grow middle class in africa, no more than ever. and dad awareness they have is low. the quality of life has improved. so people want best for themselves and their families, africa, most populous country, has a housing deficit of 24000000 units. but the demand for premium homes from its middle class and das bra is growing rapidly. will estate operate as here say? the new trend is smart homes and that orders have tripled in the last 2 years. but locust homes are unless attractive proposition for real estate investors because of the high cost of land and infrastructure that has increased concern. but the insufficient government funding for affordable housing could worse than the shortages are formed. but financial institutions and lenders are looking at why the return on the investments is highest lifestyle, security,

return and investments. those 3 things. and the reason why smart homes are the women investment of choice right now, invest to say affordable housing will continue to be relevant. but for now it's premium housing that he's enjoying the boy. people are happy that now they can actually make their humble work for them instead of the for working for the houses . so that's what's what houses all about and that what goes blue? it's all about. okay, doable. open curtain back at the smart home estate. the record say in addition to living in an automated ho, their plan to invest in another to support that income. that expo say is what is driving the shift to premium housing in nigeria, real estate sector. i'm at it, reese al jazeera, i bolger nigeria, the city famous for its cold war wall, where east meets west staging. have you exhibition was told when it came reports

from berlin, the cool and the cold showcase is all sorts of arch from that defining period in german history. it's a window on the world gone by pitting communism against capitalism. the real against the abstract and iconic leaders against leading icons from an era when the message was as profound as the art itself. artist help us to understand the systems we are living in and very often i think artists are, you know, showing us that you can live against it and that you can stand for the other and the other perspective. and so i hope that that resistance really see that, you know, also at these times, but also at our times now artists are telling us about the, the politics we're living in. this exhibition focuses on life and art during the cold war. so lenin peers out from his library, the manners the people in command, while starling appears, his wartime leader, receiving the thanks of

a grateful nation. the space race is a key theme here. yury corny of draws together cosmos from every part of the van communist world. but low nesbit lift often splashed down, fly the flag for the democratic world for the exhibitions curation. this is an example of what distinguishes the art of the u. s. s. r from the usa. of us always tend to be picked pictures. for example, the pub, art is painting things they found on footages like comics or photograph. and i have the impression the us are to watch more close to the motive to the things they really want to pay. too many western eyes pop art has long been considered cool. lead to buy andy wall holes answers to abstract expressionism from painting pop stars to collecting cans of soup on canvas. what he

liked eating for lunch back then. now the rest of the world consumes in art form during the cold war, some behind the iron curtain considered this propaganda. while in the west, much the same was said about much of soviet art. the time when this propaganda was created is long gone. now all the remains of the paintings themselves, a reminder of the clash of ideas between east and west. in a city where those 2 opposing ideologies came head to head, dominant cane al jazeera berlin. just ahead here on these are santa will be here with the sports vaccination becomes a major issues for teams as the brooklyn next tried to get one of their styles back home cult. ah frank assessments. this crisis are you continue to weaken luca shanker, even though they're cap. see, believe them the beginning that it looks,

a hot foot when over hosts cut off. both sides peppered each of his goals, anticipating her piano, a ward, and a match that turned hostile at times between these 2 north african rivals. but there was very little to separate them on the pitch until extra time on it so. so to check whether quite clearly is british, it means that you would with a stunning strike to put algeria in front to nicea came close to equalizing. i skipped back. oh, it's just lord. then with the final kick of the game. yes, seen bohemia run away with the 2 new victory foot algeria. he's just go to whatever say good g, g area. because president jenny cantino and cats, i was amazed, shake to mean been hammered. are funny, present to the trophy to the winners. thank you. a lot to play other server. big, big for it already. vertical terms. want us to look over the survey because the
