5:02 am
drafted in 1980 during the era of military rule. supporters claimed it was very progressive, but critics feared it would lead to uncertainty. despite the result, chili's president is calling for unity. d t m l citic c. him chilly has shown us it is a demanding nation that believes them democracy be federal and we all have to respond to the aspirations of this mandate demo. that is why from the bottom of our hearts we owe it to the whole population regardless of what choice they made in the referendum to work together to build our future. more now from our latin america editor lucio newman, who's in the capitol santiago. what you see behind me are jubilant chileans who are celebrating the defeat of the draft constitution. they were the ones that were among the vast majority of children who voted against that proposal. they say that has said julian, democracy a short while ago president gabriella body to address the nation. know, and he said, he agreed that this had been
5:03 am
a democratic process that more jillions than ever before. in history had participated in this referendum which was compulsory. and he also said that the process would continue, that he is calling for the leaders of all the political parties on monday to get together in the presidential palace. to discuss ways to move forward from now on because there seems to be a wide spread agreement that this is not the end of the road. that chile will not remain with the 1980 constitution that was written under the penis, a dictatorship. but rather that a new version must be written one that is more pluralistic and that takes into account point to view that clearly the majority of jillions believe were left out of that draft launched into action. how far it will go, will it be as progressive as the one that was rejected? probably not, but it is hope that the whole process will be over within 12 months. so just what is it about the proposed new constitution that some object to critic say it goes
5:04 am
out of its way to appease the historically marginalized indigenous groups. the changes would have recognized 11 indigenous tribes and offered them greater autonomy, especially in judicial issues. it would have also legalized abortion and given wider protections to the environment, drawing criticism from many in the traditionally conservative country. about 40 world renowned economists and political scientists had back the new constitution. but many of those rally against the changes say, it moves away from the current free market model. and will these stabilize the economy? allan santa rosa's, his political science professor at the university of chile, she joined us now from the capital santiago valentina. in october 2020 the referendum to draft the new constitution and she lay passed. overwhelmingly. now almost 2 years later, the draft voters were presented with was soundly defeated. what to make of how this played out? well, i think there won't bill function to explain this. i'll come, i will mail. he said them. people listen least with these proposal. if even people
5:05 am
that were campaigning for their rejection, they wanted to do this proposal. but everyone, especially even a day, right when political parties have accepted that the currency titian east politically did. so we still have a lot of work to do and of your, for our turn ups, or is a new constitution. but people wilson satisfied with these proposal in his busy, valentina, do you think we are going to see another attempt to drafting a new constitution? and if so, how long might that take? oh yeah, manipulated on barn teeth even in the last few weeks have been saying and explicitly agreeing on having i think was edition is some of them dylan is still are neutral or so we still have to agree on what are the going to be the best for that and visiting the baseboards head have said that this week is going to be fundamental for these negotiations. we still have
5:06 am
a lot of administrative work on processing day electoral data. so it's not going to be something that is going to happen in one or 2 months. but currently we're going to have another, it goes into tional processes, mainly way, and some differences, respecting how the independents are going to be involved, how the social movements i'm going to be involved in this next chapter volunteer you just mentioned the president burridge, the efforts that are going to have to be made in order to try to draft another new constitution. how much is this going to impact president bowditch? he's just recently been elected. he's left wing, and his popularity has really plunged since he took office in march. so how big a defeat is this result for him? yeah, this is a really decent moment for the government. she was a strong supporter of these proposal that was indian and a she was explicit about it. so this is a difficult moment for the government, but i tend to relieve them and most till end is teal. believe he has diabetes,
5:07 am
the comparison of aids is to gather all that will lead to the parties or, and these negotiation. of course, these overwhelming results makes them we will see each and a little bit more difficult than we were expecting. but as i said before, they mean for a new situation is something the, everybody into the authorities in the country. i already every. so the question is, when or how oral in winter political centers are going to be involved in the need for a new position is something that the government have sent. and also they're putting together. all right, valentina rose as a political science professor at the university of chili. thanks for joining us. great to get your perspective. thank you very much. now to a developing story out of western canada where 10 people are dead and at least 15 others have been injured after a series of stabbings. canadian police say the incident happened in multiple locations in the western province of saskatchewan. a search is underway for 2

5:16 am
vice a german government is saying the country can last the winter having built up gas reserves to 85 percent of capacity. but energy stockpiling by germany and other european countries has helped send prices skyward, along with fears for millions, facing fuel poverty, with an asset this morning the actually spent a 100000000000 euros on, on gas in energy. and it's one of the most exposed to russian importance for that context. normally, the customer around 12000000000 years country like that. so this is very expensive and what we're seeing now is those costs starting spill over the scenes from the czech republic on saturday. will crystallize one question for your opinion leaders, can they maintain public support for strong anti russia measures in the face of those domestic costs? the check prime minister says these protests were organized by what he called radical russia sympathizing elements. nonetheless, police said 70000 people took part t ratio, which was this winter. russia is preparing for
5:17 am
a decisive energy strike on all europeans. and the key answer to this should be 2 things. first, are unity. unity in defense against the terrorist states. and 2nd, increasing our own pressure on russia. these the last shelters, 2nd set piece of into the day designed to support that message welcoming ukraine's prime minister with a military god ivana. dennis me, holly seeking more military aid from berlin and his offering to send surplus ukrainian electricity. the other way are 4, sit al jazeera in the south of ukraine. there's been fierce fighting as keep tries to retake ground occupied by russian troops. official say it will not be a quick operation and are asking ukrainians to be patient. meanwhile, civilians near the front lines are taking cover. gabriel elizondo has more from keith it's sunday in the southern ukrainian city of because lived usually a day for people to rest. but there is no time for that now. only clean up
5:18 am
a debris after the city came under russian showing the night before. a medical clinic and a research institute or 2 of the buildings damaged by the nearby artillery strikes just provided. when you pull it inside of each room, the equipment, the computers, the f ross is the furniture of a ceilings. they've all been damaged in nickel hall, another southern ukrainian town. local official say residential areas are under constant russian shelling, fearful and was nowhere else to go. my a cheer knish, a math teacher, rushes to set up a makeshift camp on the outskirts of town was a boy who was the russian to shelling at night when people are sleeping. how we've, during the last days they started to shout during the day the 2 cities are both near where ukrainian forces are about a week into

a counter offensive to retake near by her son, which fell to the russians early in the conflict. this video, verified by al jazeera, is of a ukrainian strike against a bridge. the russians used to supply troops. it had sawn. the ukrainian military has seen some modest victories in the counter offensive. retaking a handful of villages in the region, but has yet to mount a push to have san city where more fortified russian defences await. when do you think you will be able to do an offensive against her son? city? was a very good question. actually. it purely, the browns saw no hold on. this is going to work how quick we get all necessary amounts from our vest and alliance, especially from united states and her kindly ukrainian. i'm forces field, the lack of law. i'm or the goals for our now infantry. we feel like all for air forces we need the thanks and we need artillery foster faults. and from his
5:20 am
perspective for i would see her any sort of counter offensive would be possible after receiving all this armaments. it will take several months, at least, at least several months. winter is coming soon. it will be harder for troops on the ground to maneuver. that's why both sides are trying to lock in gains on the battlefield now with the ukrainians pushing the offensive in her song and the russians entrenching even further innocent civilians looking to find any place they can to remain safe. gabriel sancho, i just, keith, in the southern us, people in jackson, mississippi are facing an unprecedented water crisis. more than $160000.00 residents in the city have run out of safe drinking water. the government is distributing bottled water, but there's not enough to supply the entire city since monahan has more cars lining
5:21 am
up around the block all to get the most basic of human necessities. for nearly a week, the people of jackson, mississippi have been struggling with a serious water shortage. the national guard are providing relief. some are happy for the help. others are growing in patient. i'm not able to cook, like i want to cooks not able to brush might seem like i want to do to the water quizes. and i'm just certainly grateful that they are the national guard and everyone is out, you know, trying to help us. so we can see i have, i have the life and maintain on a daily basis. and my home, the water is run a very slowly, it's our most into agent in the entire city of jackson, you know, just not one individual. and i blame of the the city council, the governor and the mayor because they're all in confusion. and no one seemed to know how to solve the problem. fema, the federal emergency agency. it's working to end the crisis inspectors toward this
5:22 am
water plant where heavy rains overwhelmed the cities, aging infrastructure. they're hoping to speed up repair work, but play down expectations of a quick return to normality. yeah, i think it's still too early to tell dana, i think that having e p a in the army corps of engineers, we had a really good conversation on friday about what it's going to take him, the assessments that they're doing, the longer term in the mid term about how long it's going to take to actually make it safe to drink. i think that we have a lot more to learn about what it's going to take to get that plan up and running in tens of thousands of homes. water has slowed to a trickle and what they do get isn't safe to drink, but this isn't a new problem. state and federal authorities are being blamed for allowing jackson's infrastructure to crumble for decades. jackson is overwhelmingly black, and many se rates is a factor. we have been getting punished for quite some time for being a predominantly black city. i can recollect these issues for as long as
5:23 am
i've been here and i was born in 1983 in jackson. and over time the situation has gotten worse. we are not receiving any funding from the state of mississippi to improve the war. jackson's plight has grown so bad. it's received national attention. local state and federal authorities are now focused on distributing aid and getting water flowing again. but while the current crisis will eventually be resolved, correcting for decades of neglect will be a longer term challenge. benton monahan al jazeera at ox, caretaker, prime minister mas stuff, i'll call them. he says he's arranging a 2nd round of talks involving all parties to resolve the country's political impass. parliamentary elections held in october last year, failed to produce a governing coalition. and we're on con has more from but that there's no doubt that the clock is taking full prime minister must differ. al cartler me, he's actually now calling for talks between all of the political policies. but
5:24 am
those talks, elisa, that call for tools is likely to fall on deaf is here in this market and in the streets of baghdad. there's very little confidence in the prime minister. if most people say he seems to be a man, is waiting to find out his own fate. all of them say the golden rule, there is no doubt that the clock is ticking for prime minister mustafah al caterina too much. what happens next is anybody's guess, but it's certainly the talk of all the markets london. i don't think that he is going to stay in his post. they have other options. they have their own people, they can nominate. so i don't think he is staying. most people don't want him now because of what is happening. he's compromised or paying money and favors to settle things down. one of the key political plays in all of this is at most other, all a sudden he's the talk of people in markets like this. now he announces his retirement from frontline politics that begins on monday, but he's announced this before and he's always managed to find
5:25 am
a way back. but now the stakes are so much higher given the violence that we've seen over the last few days. what happens next is anybody's guess, but it's certainly the top of all of the markets. there's been an attack on a bus carrying israeli troops in the occupied west bank sick soldiers and once civilian were injured, it comes 3 weeks after another shooting targeted a bus and occupied east jerusalem injuring 8 people and taught sugar name reports from western muslim this security camera footage shows a truck stopped in the desert and engulfed in flames. you could see 2 men running away, police say those men, relatives from the occupied westbank city of janine are responsible for an attack on a bus carrying israeli soldiers. it was travelling on highway 90 in the jordan valley on sunday. the men are accused of over taking the bus and sprang it with bullets. when it stopped,

5:27 am
happened here is railey soldiers are all over the place. there are reports that a possible 3rd suspect is from the same family as the other men in custody. the attack on the israeli soldiers happened 3 weeks after a palestinian man shot at a bus in the old city. 8 people were injured including an american family. the israeli military has been conducting daily raids in the occupied west bank, specifically in jeanine and nablus. some palestinians have been killed. this is leading to concerns that the violence may escalate. natasha name al jazeera was jerusalem. kenny's supreme court is expected to deliver its verdict on last month's disputed presidential election. william router was declared the winner by the slimmest of margins, but his opponent, veteran, politician, rayleigh, dingo, says the vote was wrecked. catherine saw it has more from nairobi. madame chief justice madam deputy chief, just these judges at kenya's supreme court have

a difficult decision to make. if we look at the number of the polling stations there been hearing a presidential election case that has been disputed. president elect william mucho was declared winner of last month. paul, his opponent ry lo dingo, came 2nd. a dingle seized the election was rigged, or the heart of the case is a role played by an increasingly divided electoral commission. for its commissioners have rejected the results. the others, including the chair of the commission waffle legible, katy accused their colleagues of trying to force or ran off. we'll see them being divided on an issue that the entire all the commission on a was managing is really surprising and is very, ah, scary. even to some extent, because we're talking about

a country child yellow going to war because of elections. this is not the 1st time that kenya is going through a hotly contested judicial process. after our national paul, the presidential election was nearly 5 in 2017, for the 1st time in africa. judge's said the paul was mud by irregularities. some can you say this time? the stakes are much higher opinion outside the courtroom is divided. misinformation is rife and those who are trying to get a sense of what is happening. say they are overwhelmed. we're looking at twitter on facebook, on whatsapp, on instagram tick tock. all these platforms were, are wash with a lot of our false information. and we see this because the institutions that i charged with giving kenyans regular updates or credible information, we're taking a step back, a group calling itself the p ports. parliament has also been monetary. what's going
5:30 am
on in st. horny with the verdict. i'm but even day saying they are hollers. their debates are based on which political side they supports. one thing is clear. you want our court to dispense nothing but justice. go more so prim god denied uncle nullified if the supreme court is going to nullify i am telling william toe we already shall, we should vote. you will again many can say they just want to know the truth on the law. no matter which way the court rules, catherine saw all 0 nairobi, ah, mrs. al jazeera and these are the top stories. voters and chilly have overwhelmingly rejected a proposed new constitution in a referendum. there been celebrations on the streets.
