he has pledged to make the changes to lanes demanded in those mass anti government protests which took place in 2019 his opponent ultraconservative. jose antonio cast a lawyer who won support for his hotline views on law and order. he's also defended for military dictator augusta penis shay and criticized barge for his alliance with the communist party or latin america. it is salisia newman joins us live now from santiago to political extremes. they're in a very tight race. where is the space for middle ground voters in chile there is really the, the political center in chile has pretty much collapsed, which is why we're seeing what we're seeing now. and let me just tell our view is what we are seeing. we are seeing the boat counting down, we're getting to open the ballads here one by one behind me. as soon as that is done, they will begin reading out loud the name either for burridge or forecast,

and there will be electro monitors. if you look a little bit more to my left, you'll see one of them here. each table, each voting table has an electro monitor there to make sure that what is read out loud, what is marked on the valid, on the final valid counting document is correct. and that's precisely because this is such a close election so much so that the phone, your cache has said that if it comes with within less than $50000.00 vote, he would consider taking these elections to the electro tribunal to make the final decision. that's something that has not happened in chile, in certainly in recent memory. the tightest selection, since 1970 when marxist vote in day was elected as the world's 1st marxist president back then. and so this is a very, very important election indeed. and as i said,

the political center has clearly been shattered over the last 30 years, and we got to lose ground in the country. that was the very center left of center, right. but now we're seeing a new, new forces, new political forces arising that have very different solutions for the country. and so we're going to a 2nd now just for a minute. if we can marry him, just give me a 2nd. we'll know, as you can see his reading out, but let's see what the next one is a noble. so now that there's a no volt, bowles of the monitors for lead to a candidate wanted check it out, make sure it's correct. right now we just had to vote for cash. so this is what's going to be. this is what's happening all over the country at this hour. sorry. go back to marian. all right, lovely. thank you. thank you very much. our last america as a museum and following the developments there in chile, as we see, 2 candidates on polar opposite sides of lexical spectrum in

a run off contests. we'll get more from santiago, but later on. but now we move on to afghanistan because muslim countries of pleasure set up a human humanitarian trust fund for the country as millions of people of facing hunger and starvation pockets on has been hosting an emergency meeting of the organization of islamic cooperation. declaring that if the world doesn't help afghans now, the country is heading for chaos. the winds world food program one this week that 98 percent of afghans and are eating enough with 7 in 10 families, resorting to borrowing food, pushing them further into poverty. un official say 23000000 people are on the edge of starvation, with 9000000 already facing famine conditions. some $9000000000.00 in central bank reserves remains blocked outside of the country as a result of isolation and sanctions imposed by the international community. or after the taliban takeover and afghanistan is also suffering from climate

challenges, a severe drought with at least a 40 percent drop in wheat yields. alice means that price is for food fuel and other basic staples of rapidly been rising. and that means that it's very difficult for people to afford these basic goods. the arrival of winter means many families will be forced to choose between food and heating august. dan's prime minister, enron con, says, disaster can still be averted though. going to this, the world does not act. this will be the biggest man, mid crisis, which is unfolding in front of us. we of the oil. see, it's a big responsibility on us because not only is it the situated situation and one is done as it on fours. but it's our religious duty to help them. international charlan,

afghanistan was suspended after the taliban took power in august. many people are still desperate to leave the country. hundreds have been killing in freezing temperatures. in kabul after the taliban announced on saturday that it would resume issuing passports. many of them were camped there over night. passport office was opened in october, but a flood of applications caused the facial recognition equipment to break down. earlier he spoke to salaam, algernon b, who's with unicef in afghanistan. is that the situation is getting especially difficult for families who are living in remote areas and a whole generation of children is now risk. frankly, this is a pivotal moment for children in afghanistan. the youngest of these children are fighting for their lives, with the staggering numbers of my nose. children and adolescent boys and girls are really fearful of what their future will hold. and we truly hope that the world

does not adverse its eyes from what is happening. i've got to stop and make sure that children, mothers, and families are able to survive. this is very difficult, couple of months coming order your fears for the next few months. and we've seen images recently of that being snow and the capital kabul. how bad could things get? i was in bombay on 2 weeks ago and everything was already frozen there. i've talked to mothers who are concerned about keeping the house warm or buying food for the children. and last week in kandahar we were also out in the remote villages and you can really feel the concern, the worried parents, how for the children, it's a very difficult time for them now with literally many of them not being able to put food on the table what about the delivery of basic services? is everything broken down in the country?

would you say from we know the financial system isn't functioning the banks and not working. what about health care and an education as this now a fail state. indeed, many of the services at the moment are not functioning. and this is something you're of grave concern. while eunice, surf, and other humanitarian actors are providing life saving assistance. what the world and international comedians to figure out very soon is how to make sure the services in of gone stand on collapse because we truly running out of time. or do you mean we're running out of time? what is the worst case scenario? with the staggering number of minority children that are about to 1000000 children who are radios risk of dying, if they don't get at the treatment. and now that we have entering the winter season, these mal notice children are the ones who will really be fighting for their life with a spirit chuck infections and other diseases. so we need all the help for these

children and we really need it now. tab on the policy is, might not test out the situation, but this is a country economy that has been heavily dependent on the international community and particularly on aid that has now been penalized with these that these isolation policies and sanctions, the preventing money coming in. now i want to ask you, even if the situation why to change is the crisis to entrenched. so firstly, i think it's very important for the world and international community to keep children out of politics and really to prioritize monitor in 8. and if we manage to act quickly, if we manage to provide the treatments and health services and support to the families to help them go this very difficult winter. those coming through. i think we will be able to save many children and also to make sure that her generation of

god, child of gone children, is a provided with what they need. and we don't lose this generation. national still ahead on this news out from london as a desperate situation unfolding in, sorry, gal. filipino city reels off to super tie for awry with thousands of soldiers joining the rescue efforts. i taught you an official says there hang a crisis is far from over a needs national community must do more to resolve it. vaccination becomes a major issue for sports teams. is the brook and let's try to yet one of our stars back on the court. ah, a government across europe, a staffing measures to control the spread of the army cron karone of ours very into head of the went to holidays. there is anger of the new rules just before christmas . protest as have been marching in several cities to call for an end to cove. it passes in social restrictions, the netherlands has already imposed

a straight lock down, and other countries are considering further moves. i said, beg, has this report now? good. 7 against mandatory vaccinations and vaccine passports, thousands gathered in belgium to express their anger act restrictions. it comes as the government to shoot strong advice to get vaccinated and gave health workers 3 months to get fascinated or risk losing their jobs. britain has seen some of its height levels in new cases of the virus. rumbly football stadium was turned into a mass boost of vaccinations center as the government tries to curb the outbreak. but for now, it's reluctance to impose a pre christmas lockdown is at odds with the mayor of london. if we don't bring in new restrictions sooner rather than later, you're going to see even more positive cases and potentially a public service, a lot. the editors on the verge of clubs, if not collapse in germany, has added the u. k to its high risk countries. meaning,

tied to travel restrictions, france has already been travel from britain other than compelling reasons which do not include tourism and business. it comes as europe races itself for the spread of the army. kron variant and many countries are now considering the return of restrictions over the christmas period. these streets in the netherlands should have been packed with christmas shoppers. but all non essential businesses have been ordered to close after a strict lockdown was imposed. even on the northern tip of europe, finland, where the christmas period brings with the tourists this now real concern. i've never had to times like this before. like i know my colleagues. they are wondering the same. ah, this is like a parcel every day is 3rd back again. and you look at the latest updates and news and you start wondering what's happening with the travelers, what's happening with their choice and workers and the companies. how do we said by as christmas fast approaches, the shadow cast by the covert virus seems to be getting ever longer. i said big al

jazeera so as, as i was mentioning, they're locked down. restorations are in place across the netherlands with all non essential services closed. the rules will remain in place until january 14th, at the earliest, amid fears about the spread of the army kron variant set. lawson has more from amsterdam, one of the free countries in europe. no has district is locked down since 5 o'clock this morning, only essential shops are allowed to remain open and only visitors allowed at home. the decision came as a surprise to many here in the netherlands, and is specifically dramatic for business owners and the busy weeks before christmas. the government says, even though infections the army, chrome very and not as widespread as in other countries, yet they are concerned that in the next few weeks, hospital will be flooded. but the main reason, according to experts, is that the maryland performed poorly during the last outbreak. and many patients with the data very and still in hospital also in adults with one of the last

countries who start it's boost the campaign. so many people are not protected here . and benevolence has refrain from taking unpopular mashes like for example, one or 2 g policy like in germany, the only people with vaccinations or tests can enter shops, restaurants, and bars. and i was have seen protest and riots in the last couple of months against covert restrictions, and also against the unclear policies by the government. so many are wondering what will happen now in the time before christmas when people want to get together and celebrate. the last president joe biden is expected to announce new measures in a speech on tuesday, as cases rise across the country. america is reporting an average of a 127000 new infections every day. many states including connecticut, michigan, seeing surges in hospital admissions, and health officials say mac crohn is on the verge of becoming the dominant variant

in new york. the one thing that's very clear, and there's no doubt about this is extraordinary capability of spreading it's trans miss ability capability. it is just, you know, raging through through the world really. and if you look even here in the united states, you have some regions that start off with a few percent of the i. so it's that are positive now going up to $3040.00 in some places, 50 percent. so yes, there is this issue of whether or not it is or more or less severe. lawrence young is ever ologist at work university, joins us via skype from birmingham. experts seem fairly certain that this army con, varying to the virus, has the ability to spread very quickly. but there is some uncertainty over the severity of the illness at what impact is that having on their, on the policy response of these, making the policy response quite challenging. in many respects,

we know it's spreading very rapidly in the u. k. case number's a doubling every 2 days yesterday the u. k. had the largest number of new cobra 19 cases in the whole world. and we estimate about one in 50 people in the country are, are effected, and that's going to increase every day, doubling time of to days. these you is the one you just mentioned, which is the degree to which i'm a con will, will result in severe disease whilst a data from south africa, africa, including data today. so just still suggest it might be mild, but we don't know that in a u. k. population. the big concern is if you have millions of people infected, a small proportion of a 1000000 of people getting into hospital would overwhelm our health care system. so there was a big concern about that and perhaps important to point out that locked down measures. and there is some speculation about when that might happen here in the u . k. a is,

there is mounting concern about the case numbers and the rate at which the infection is spreading. lockdown measures don't stop the virus from spreading that it effectively eyes you time because we're seeing as an infection rate shooter at a time when they're out of staff absences in hospitals. that's exactly right. i think that a lot of this is about more measures to control the spread of the virus by time to give people that boast, we know that there's a very ambitious plan in place to boost all adults in the u. k. by the end of december, that's going to be a very difficult target to meet. but if we can just suppress the, the, the spread of the virus, it will buy time to get more boosters, but also will help us in terms of restricting the spread and the inevitable effect that's having on stock absences of the estimate at the moment. for instance is, is it possible that come christmas day 20 percent of

a major staff will be off with cove, with, or having to isolate it from being in touch with somebody with cobit. so this is a very serious issue in terms of the what services then like as a, an interesting country because they have an excellent surveillance set surveillance system down at the very i vaccination rate or seen in the past few weeks on, the kron become the dominant very into the virus and it, it shows how, how quickly it can spread, even when you have some 80 percent majority of population vaccinated. what could that suggest about the effectiveness of the booster shot? yes, so what we already of course is the, the issue with on recall in terms of his trans miss ability, is it is infecting people already double jack. now the degree to which that results in severe disease is still somewhat contentious in that group, but is clear from initial data from the u. k. the booster jobs will give you about

85 percent protection from severe disease. so almost 10 percent less than we're getting the delta, but much better than double job, which is probably less than 70 percent. and of course, the issue here is it is a numbers game, the more people that are infected, the more likely you are to expect. supposing individuals who are more vulnerable, who have on the underlying conditions is immune system hasn't responded well enough even to the booster job. and that's why trying to control the spread is so important. and how important is that? the factor of demographics in all of this, and now in south africa, which has been the, the api center of this new variant is now there is a younger population in that part of the world. that interestingly interesting, you know, more hospitalizations of young people. now how could that, how could, how could it have a different effect on,

on populations in the west which tend to be older? yeah, and we know that this disease and this infection has disproportionately affected older people in terms of severe disease and death than there is a very close relationship between age. therefore, extrapolating from a younger population in south africa to other populations is difficult. and we know now the, the spread from youngsters into the older population is happening in the u. k. we don't recall and that's why we're also holding our breath really over the next week or so. as we see, hospitalisation start to creep up the road already creeping up in london. that will happen elsewhere. but the degree to which i suspecting different age groups and how that plays out in terms of severe disease and death is something i don't think we can wait for. i don't think we can wait for limitations to increase. but if we wait much longer, it will be too late to have any effect whatsoever. and i mean offense in terms of restrictions and i, i do feel that some impact now in terms of restricting

a population mixing and bringing in social distance thing is going to have an important effect. now, if we wait much longer, we won't be able to do very much at all. thank you very much, lawrence young. joining us that from birmingham i q the united nations representative for human rights and me and mars accusing the government of crimes against humanity in its treatment of wrangle muslims, especially upwards tom andrew was just visited a refugee camp and neighboring bangladesh. ms. town where charge reports from dakar, it comes as another humanitarian crisis is unfolding on the other side as me and mom. the u. n. space showed repertoire has been on a 6 day fact finding mission before presenting his findings to the human rights council and marched his med bangladesh, government officials as well as non government representatives and agencies. he's
