1:01 am
the world's daughter. this will be the biggest man with crisis which is unfolding front of us. august ounce prime minister appeals to world leaders help afghanistan . now or face humanitarian disaster and the netherlands begins, is that current of ours locked down, but across the border in belgium. thousands are out in protest against you restrictions. ah, we begin the program in chile, where votes are being counted in a closely contested presidential run off. has been called the most divisive pole in the country for decades. are 2 candidates running polar opposites of each other with startling, different views, the country's future. on the left, former student protest the de gabrielle bartch. he's promising to overhaul an economic model that he says is created a sharp division between the rich and poor in latin america's most advanced economy
1:02 am
. he's pledged to make the changes to lanes demanded in the mast anti government protests of 2019. his opponent is the ultra conservative jose antonio cast a lawyer who won support for his hard line views on law and order. it's also defended for my military dictator. augusta been ashamed and criticized orridge for his alliance with the communist party. so alex america, editor, lucy newman joins us live from santiago and i'm just looking at some of the initial numbers that we have which show which favor for rich. tell us what we know so far. that's right. what we know so far with a little under 14 percent of the vote counted, is that gabrielle body to appears to be leading with almost 7 percentage points. that of course it's, it is, could, could change radically as more and more results come in. but so far,
1:03 am
and we're here at the board's campaign headquarters and this the pressroom for his campaign headquarters that dad there, seeming they're looking and sounding quite at victoria's already in this area. i think that some other polls that had not been allowed to be published do also indicate that voted stood a good chance of winning the selection. the big question though, marion is by how many percentage points when finally every single last, whoa has been counted. a percent on your past to the the conservative candidate, it says that if it's by less than 50000 vote the the victory of either one of the candidates. but clearly he re me, he means by burridge, that he would consider taking the selection to the electoral tribunal to be decided . in other words, there is some question in his mind depending on by how many votes he loses. if he, if he loses, of whether or not this was a legitimate election, that's something that has not happened here, at least didn't, since i can think of, of any of any in any election. so this is a very, very device of
1:04 am
a very contested election. and in fact, the most contested election since 1988 when chilion held a referendum to decide whether they wanted to go back to democracy or remain under the pinochet's dictatorship. they tell us more about what's at stake in this vote. why is this election so crucial compared to those in us? well, apart from the obvious that the 2 can, this is so completely different. one is 35 young, was seen before as a revolutionary. the other one is conservative, older, and represent for many people the past. what's really at stake here is perhaps the economic model that this country has had, and which for more than a, for almost 40 years was considered a flag bearer for political and economic stability. in this region, we're talking about the chicago university model or the chicago boys model of the free market economy. that is what's at stake whether that could survive. that's
1:05 am
what w burridge wants to change. that's what sampling your past wants to make. sure does not. and if the results is not accepted by all sides, although it's looking that that looking as it might not happen if gabrielle burridge maintains his lead, as the numbers accounted it, could there be some sort of instability off to the vote? i think of marrying that whoever wins is going to face problems in that sense because they're still going to have tremendous opposition. it's a very, very polarized country right now. and apart from that, we have a congress as an the senate that are absolutely split down the middle, which makes it very difficult for any hunt in eddie, a winner to actually impose our legislation. so if we're having a bit more to, to lose, we're good at probably expect to have huge amount of people protesting out on the streets. and we're also going to expect a lot of opposition for him if he wins. and by the way,
1:06 am
i'm hearing right now some cheers outside, and i'm getting some apparently the past commando. yes, this, i can confirm that the, that the sample your past command or a bunker as we call here, has as conceded defeat and that gabrielle burridge has won. so wow, this is like an hour and 5 minutes after the polls close. so it's really moved. it incredibly quickly mariam. so there you have a serious issue. as or on the a winner has been declared, or rather the a jose antonio cast has conceded yes, we weren't expecting him to concede this quickly at all, but it clearly is an indication that burridge has gone up by one by far more than anyone had estimated and how unusual is it for that to happen with? i'm just looking at the wire here that says about 30 percent of the ballots have
1:07 am
been counted. are you asking me if it's, if it's unusual again? i mean, why didn't it to that did? yes, it's a large city, a lot of that with i'm 30 percent of the ballots counted. yes . well, what this is a sampling. so they also have their own, their own would you call pollsters, orb winner of them. so i mean that these are the projections are that they have that he has loss. and how do you get to these projections? they have people monitoring each and every single voting station in the country, as does god. we had bodied so they know what the final tally was and they couldn't even, they couldn't move that around even faster, perhaps on the electric or not. perhaps obviously they can get that news back to their candidates headquarters faster than the electoral authorities can actually put them up on an display. so it really does have a reputation for getting results very, very quickly. but this,
1:08 am
the campaign or quarters are even faster and better at doing that. okay, great. thank you very much. our last in america editor is seen human reporting to us from santiago, chile, where it appears that i was antonio cast his conceited this election. i suppose that would make her former student protest ada gabriel barge that the youngest president that the country has seen. thank you very much, lucille. ah, now hundreds of thousands of protest as of march the presidential palace in the sudanese capital hard tomb. demanding the military stout, their country's transition towards democracy scares. he forces fired tear gas at them. after attempting to block bridges, health ministry says more than a 120 people were injured. able, morgan was there. this is the spouse of gathering of protesters in one of the
