that is seen united kingdom salad citizens, britons true colors pop 2 on al jazeera, ah, with all of latin america for most of my career, but no country is alike, and it's my job to shed light on how and why noon ah,

hello, i am emily anguish this is the new sal alive from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. pakistan's former president perez moore. sharon has died in dubai after a long illness. the battle for buck more to reports of fist fighting as mercenaries from the russian wagner group take or try to take control of the ukrainian city. china accuses the u. s. are violating international practice after it's shot down a suspected spy balloon. and the head of the roman catholic church are wraps up his visit to south, sir, dan, renewing his cold for pace. i'm during the guess rosco, with sport as much as he looked to close the gap on premier li leaders, arsenal, and egypt alack reached the semifinals of the club. well come to the 3rd here running ah

it's just past 10, g t m. we begin this news hour with the death of former pakistani president, have asthma sheriff. he had been receiving treatment in dubai for a long illness, alexia bryan takes a look back at his life and the controversy surrounding his political career. prevail, mashhad was living an exile for years. fighting to clear his name. the former pakistani president was charged in connection with the 2007 assassination of former prime minister. been as he a boot hook. he was also sentenced to death after being found guilty of treason before a court and pakistan overturned it and 2020. the head of the military had seized power and a bloodless coo and 1999 and served as president from 2001 until 2008. after the $911.00 attacks were shut off, aligned himself with the so called war on terror. general michelle of is under the american impression is this is not the war against terrorism. this is a war against islam. he also supported the war in afghanistan,

trying to balance relations with the u. s. and tribal leaders shot af late. it said the united states threatened to bomb pakistan if he didn't commit to fighting al qaeda. blue sheriff was criticized for failing to improve the economy at home. and main to ties with india, despite a high profile visit to agra, which many had hoped would lead to better relations firing. pakistan's chief justice in 2007 proved to be his fatal political move. ah, it led to street protests, melbourne. was that bill gone? gone? i raised my future in the hands of the nation and the people, let them be the judges. ultimately, the man who survived multiple assassination attempts was forced to resign a year later. shot have lived in exile for a while, but the lure of power was too attractive. he tried to stage

a political come back and 2013. i was thinking the governor would call me back and we'll say, save pakistan. but that did not happen today. my nation order me to come back. i came back, put in my life in danger to save pakistan. instead, he was arrested and charged with murdering been as he a bhutto, the 1st woman to be democratically elected and a muslim majority country. the government allowed, we shall have to leave in 2016 to seek medical treatment for serious illness. he'd always denied wrongdoing and maintained the cases against him were politically motivated. right, let's bring in command. honda who's in islamabad, come out. what's been the reaction in pakistan? where the gross bar guessed on that is obviously grief. and there been an outpouring of condolences messages from the military high command,

as well as the prime minister. are the senior politicians, including a leader of the boggart on j. again salve all. so again, that was indeed a sad day for august on that he was a great man. however, not every one in bugger staunch supporters. a general more sure of what doc or will paul back in 1999. just the ear after he was appointed as chief of the military. by now, why should even more than the prime minister in 1999 or shot for donna richter said a longer, when the prime minister decided to sack him on said, ammonia laid it and tried to take the national airlines flight back up august on his air craft are not allowed to land and was told the guy was to another country and that of course led to a situation where the passion judge on the plains live right under danger. the military then decided to step in and have more shut out. to land on the ground off

the g. dasia blood less to do done a wash, ready for the rest the day. a would then up god center, saudi arabia, into laughter. that stepped in to save him from generating more shut off one night, jack and george's, and more shut up despite a controversial boss, was also known for his revolution. and the far end of august on the media was then turned a loud private china to come on. that was the monopoly of that stage where the only one focused on television and up august on television corporation. so although people may like or dislike the general ed contribution to budget, don would also because of the fact that the allied himself to the united states after the $911.00 attack and there was pressure on august on the dollar bond. we're den friendly, red, bog, your son, but much out of the decision to back the american tag or in region of mine.

bought it in my in controversy, but they said if august i need pressure during i gender who also did a lot of good for the country. some of a supported retail. ready locations of course, when say that he tried to get in there more quickly and also tried to initiate corruption charges. again, some of the dentist did fall off. it said in august on, certainly a lengthy career. we appreciate the inside the command, honda in islam event. the let's get the latest on the ukraine now in the battle for control of the city of buck nook is intensifying. the head of the russian, wagner mercenary group, says the fees fighting. the city has been. the focus of moscow is offensive for weeks ukraine's president. let me lensky wants. the situation on the front line is

getting tougher as russia pause, more troops towards the front line. let's bring in vain. does robin, who joins us live now from the capital cave is i want more you hearing about this battle for back most comments from the group line up with what the president has been saying. the fierce fighting is ongoing and it is happening on both sides. ukrainians describe waves of rush and fighters consistently hitting their positions in moved with a t t for of going up to speed. it's going to going, well the last it's all over with is point in time. i think we'll just have to leave it bears. i will try and come back to you when the connection improves.

meanwhile, new european restrictions on russian oil are coming into effect on sunday. this includes a ban on sable on oil products and a global priced cap of $100.00 a barrel on premium russian oil products. images are aimed at reducing rushes ability to fund it for in ukraine. it's, i'm a bon jovi has more from moscow before the war, reco usa petroleum product, approximately $3000000000.00 a month. and here it continues to tell a product about $14000000000.00. european union used to be the largest export market. wanted by china and korea not now being overtaken by india, china, and a gray area on more market. russia you, the main method is transported worth by a network of a pipeline delivery country. and interestingly, it continues to be ukraine. what is people using the pipeline?

secondly, it is a network of tankers which very richly loyal before it's all over the world. and they have no come sanction from the union that you had said caps and russia and fuel oil. and those which are found not in compliance would either have insurance financing, and they won't even get everything but the lady morehead on the fees, including a coal for justice in a rug after a young youtube blogger is killed by her father. surely extends a state of emergency with hundreds of wild 5 burning at least 20 true people have been killed. and in for it will show you one of the best tries you'll ever see in rugby 6 nations that's coming up a little later. joe, a

china has accused the united states of overreacting after washington shot down its balloon off the coast of south carolina. the pentagon accused badging of spying that china and see if it was a weather balloon that strayed off course medical home has a clear shot as it happened, a missile hit the high altitude balloon, and it begins its descent in end 2 days of long debate about what to do about this massive air balloon suddenly saw something take off. again, i knew it was a missile. and you can see the explosion. you should have shot at that winning carts insane. instead of letting it travel all the way across, you thought that was just that. i think it's terrible that they let it get this far start with. and what i've heard, there's more and more of china claimed it was a weather balloon that was blown off course. president biden says he gave the order to shoot down last wednesday,

decided without doing damage to anyone on the ground. and decided that the best time to do that was got over water within our, within 12 mile limit. successfully took it down. the pentagon says in f $22.00 fighter jet launched a single missile to bring the balloon down into us territorial waters. pentagon officials say now they're turning their attention to recovering the balloon. they think it's going to be a fairly simple operation. they're already several us navy and u. s. coast guard ships on the scene. they plan to use us navy divers at unmet submersible to bring it to the surface in the next few days. and then the u. s. will decide if they want to publicly and the debate offering proof of what this was . it's still an open debate because huge balloon was in fact following the air streams of the area and that it has a tractor of that. it is not loitering over montana,

it was shot off the eastern seaboard. so at this juncture, this idea that this is somehow a spy ship, that was liberally said by china seems a little bit far fetched. but us analysts say the fact that they believe a similar balloon is travel in latin america makes this theory more likely. i do not believe that it was just a weather balloon blown off. course it would be quite the coincidence if we have this loon going into us airspace while apparently there's another one processing latin america simultaneously infringing upon other countries airspace. another strain and an already frayed relationship, which was supposed to take steps toward improvement on saturday. instead, taking a step back, patty call hain al jazeera washington. as get more analysis now with andy mark, he's a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization. insurances, from cambridge in the u. k. and he, thanks so much for being on the program. as we heard from patty's report,

washington says it's a spy balloon. and by ging says it's a civilian aircraft now that it's been shut down, will we get some clarity about what it actually is and will that hinder or help relations? well, thanks for having me on emily. i think that we have to see, as we heard earlier, you know, there's still some question marks about this. but i think there's also a more fundamental question in that both accounts could be correct in that if it is a weather balloon, as china is saying that that can be construed as a form of intelligence gathering as well by the united states. and i think this really points to some of the challenges in the china us relationship in that both sides have some factual basis for what they're saying. but at the same time,

discussions about different topics can become very contentious. so i think we have to wait and see, but certainly it's unfortunate that this has resulted in at least a delay. secretary, secretary of state lincoln's plan and visit to china. because i think no one disagrees, that of greater dialogue, greater efforts to reduce the tension as much as possible to work productively together is good for both countries and good for the world. i want to get to the timing of this in just a moment, but before i do, the chinese government says it retains the right to respond further. what could that look like? well, i think again, you know, there's not a lot of clarity on this at this point. i think for the chinese government it, of course, i need to strike a balance between defending it's legitimate interest, including ah,

it's property. or if this is a, the property of a private chinese company again, i think there's a lot of details that are still not known yet. um, but certainly it does have like any country ah, wants to do this. um, but at the same time i think, you know, china is looking to have to dial down tensions with united states but also oh, focus more on working with countries around the. ready world which it always has done, but i think now placing perhaps a little bit more emphasis on that. so i think striking a balance between these 2 is certainly going to be their goal. and he, as he mentioned, the timing of all of this has been critical, particularly as the president and secretary, se bottom was g to go to beijing, but also in the u. s. expanding its presence in the philippines took us through the significance of the timing. well, there's a couple of interesting things here. of course,

some have speculated that this garnered so much media attention because it was a way to derail or at least delay constructive dialogue. but i think there's another aspect here, whatever the intention of this balloon is, is that i think it shows the american people that for a very long time, americans believed that they were invulnerable. and this gave the u. s. government, a certain amount of unity to act in ways around the world. but you know, whether it's a weather balloon, whether it's satellites, whether it's in the cyber world. i think that it's becoming increasingly clear that any escalation certainly will impact the american people and that they are perhaps not as immune to these cost as perhaps previously they might have believed

. certainly a dynamic time. thank you so much for your analysis and mark a senior research fellow at the same to the china and globalization. you're moving on now in protests are being held in iraq after a young youtube blogger was killed by her father. he admitted to strangling alley on wednesday in the so called on a killing. the father was reportedly upset about his daughter's decision to live in tech here in 22 year old flayed from her family after excusing her brother of sexually assaulting her mom would have to lie head as more from a scene in baghdad. as you can see right behind me, those are rights advocates, activists, and human rights are members. there are message to day. is it clear to the iraqi judiciary? they want the judiciary to a change or amend article number 4, all 9 of iraq's penal code, which as they say, gives a green light,

some kind of his grey light for her father's and brothers it to kill her, their sister or daughter ab at that at peter christ of own are killing. they have been chanting gelatin while ago that oh not a kili. there is no, oh not in. oh, not killing. they say that they are addressing the government, the parliament, the de delivery counsel at today in order to set rules to protect women from domestic violence. as you can see right behind me, they have been raising the van notice they have been raising banners to demand justice for the death of a cba ally up there have been there have been many unreported cases like the budget a case. but as you know, that because of the fact that there is no certain articles in the penal code to protect women or female jewelry,

the head of the roman catholic church has wrapped up his visit to south sudan with m. s. po, process called to pay surgeon, people to put down their weapons. to start visit is part of a 6 day trip to africa. on saturday, he met people affected by the years on conflict in south sudan. a room tasa has more from that mass in juba. it was the post final day in south diamond south is that people attended the holy math himself who died in summer from other parts of africa. when i spoke some of them, they said they know that the pope visit was suddenly bring wrong, nothing peace country. but it hope it will make a difference. the pulse had a strong message to them that they must implement the pcl as soon as possible election as soon as possible and make it safe for the thousands of people to the hustling to return home. ordinary people to south, you said that the world has not been wanting them and you will continue to pay for them. this particular area has never happened. 4 people in south people are back in

2011 when the car to get the payment from don south. but he will celebrate the new country and they said they was so much hope that this country would move forward and progress. that hasn't happened off the yet of conflict. the people here hold me that one supposedly politicians sit down and talk an arctic blast as he passed the night insides in canada with strong winds, pushing temperatures into the negative dabble digits. gabriel elizondo has more from the city of boston. scenes captured from alive camera show, the coldest temperature ever recorded in the continental united states. at the mount, washington observatory and research center in the state of new hampshire, where the windshield dragged the mercury down to an incredible minus 79 degrees

celsius. on saturday. the arctic blast has brought sub 0 temperatures to large parts of the northeastern united states and canada temperatures across the region, plunging to dangerously low levels in boston, massachusetts, where it hit minus $33.00 with winchell, the biting wind made the cold at times. downright painful. if you're really into masochism and whatever. yeah, it's actually great. otherwise people say what the hell am i doing here? people are used to cold weather here in boston this time of year. but this is unusual. the last time had got this cold in boston, was 1957 in parts of maine, it was so cold. there were frost quakes. small earthquakes caused by sudden cracks in frozen soil. elsewhere the brutal, cold, complicated the emergency response to

a massive fire after train derailment overnight in ohio, freezing the water being pumped to fire fighters. icey roads have made for hazard is driving in some states like here in oklahoma. but back in boston, temperatures began to creep up slightly in the afternoon, reaching negative 12. people began to come out and brave the elements having some fun. but this is certainly a deep freeze that people here won't forget any time soon. gabriel's hondo al jazeera boston. all right, let's bring in now meteorologist rudnick how he joins us with the more rather tell us a little bit more about is weather and how it's impacting north america and elsewhere . yes. or didn't you think in the climate change where we're in italy warmer you don't get this very often and you don't get very often. but when you do, it's quite deep because one of the impacts of the changing climate is the weather doesn't go round the world's, it used to, it stays in one place where it says gibson. you get

a thing called persistence of type, gets colder and colder, or dryer and drive. this was a color anyway, it's the cold outbreak, an arctic outbreak, and sometimes it effects those in the gallery as well. so i can't actually show you what i want to show you, but you just heard from gabriel alexander. that yesterday was quite an extreme example. now the arctic air which, you know, he's here on, on the screen in pink has disappeared. so what we're left with yesterday, what we had his the fact that this with temperatures, which is, you know, in some places were recalled breaking mount washington minus $43.00 boston minus 20 about this time 24 hours ago. that's just bear temperature them on their own. they gave the lowest on record in my washington lowest 3rd since 1957 boston. you heard this already, but you add the wind that then you get the wind you about. these are the things that make headlines. mount washington minus 70 it ridiculous figure. that's why you're warned not to go and stand out and discuss what it feels like to you in

boston. it felt like minus 30 at this time the morning. felt like morning minus 45 in ottawa. now you said it does not very often fairly obviously, and this one's that is bit off to iceland to cause some trouble, but nothing like as bad. i have to say one of the advantages or one of the pretty things when you get out to care over was resisting cold arctic sea smoke where the effect of the water ex, acts like a kettle. as i said, is all gone. now the cold is out of the way it did start coating for even now is minus 5 in boston. and yes, you could still call it wind chill windshield megs. it probably feels to gabrielle like, minus 30 see. but this is the worst off it is now on its way out by the end of the day. we should see positive figures is still snowing in parts of eastern character, admittedly. but we're on the way up by the time you get to wednesday or it does no . i went to tools back to how it has been for most of the winter, remarkably warm for new england. emily, it's certainly incredibly, incredibly incredible scenes and apocalyptic. i will say, all right,

thanks so much. rub right. meanwhile, chile has extended an emergency alert as hundreds of wildfires spread lace. 22 people have died and nearly a 1000 have been injured. heat wave is complicating efforts to control the flames, which are burning across the central southern regions. in michel soon sharif has more har spreading fires, boone everything in their park, forest, farms, and homes. in 2300 firefighters have been deployed to control hundreds of while fires, nearly half of them a burning out of control. if the water handler than media yet, we are working on multiple sources of forest fires that added to the weather high temperatures and the luck of wind give caused great destruction bought in vegetation and buildings. the fire began on wednesday, destroying nearly $100000.00 acres of land. helicopters have been deployed too late

to save some dozens of homes. more than 1000 people are staying in shelters yourself. good luck with tommy was. i left my house with only the clothes i was wearing. there was no time to set up a fire break, nothing. but i think every one here went through the same situation. the wind speed changed very fast and everything suddenly started to burn. it was all very fast. chili's government is now seeking international support a to a do they like and see eddie out. we have spoken to several governments to rein the efforts to were previously being made with the companies that provide the services . these requests include to search for equipment to bolster the fleet of brigades that can reinforce the work on the ground. we are in contact with several countries in the region such as brazil, argentina, and uruguay present. gabrey burridge got shot his summer vacation, his government extending a state of disaster. it allows the military to mobilize to have battle defies as

the number of depth and continues to rise. who may call some study under sierra still ahead on al jazeera and my father emptied dinky thought ecuador, where on sunday people will vote on a number of possible constitutional reforms. the many here, c as a referendum on the government, the viet molasses and ins. ford cattle hosts around one of the freestyle kite world . have all that action come out with show a little later. ah . it snowed heavily in central europe yesterday. about half a meter in austria was very difficult, and that cold snow he has gone south is now affecting greece, where there are warnings behind it. not quite the same pictures,

quite settled in many places. so temperatures hovering round low single figures. it's often cloudy. it's actually not warm, but you know, better than it has been in iberia and western france. but i think we probably should concentrate it for the says with strong winds for the g and a drop of temperature at least 10 degrees and snow falling throughout greece and said there are warnings to day. there should be in turkey or $2.70 snow over the higher ground rein easily. if you're near the coast and re across cyprus and into the levant, quite happily. almost as far south as sudden siri, but not quite. it's actually more affecting northern syria costs, though is falling fairly heavy. the mountains now on monday is the western med we should look at was is still going to be coating grease. this circulation, once again, is going to start to batter the by the erick islands with rain and probably gale force winds. that's the most active weather in europe again, upon which is what sliding up here to the west of the british charles. then the middle is quiet and settled my course at win defect's northern libya and egypt.

otherwise doth africa se fine. ah. the the 1970s was a pivotal time for cinema theater in the middle east and north africa. back in the 2nd of a 2 part series al jazeera world meets the creative risk takers who broke new ground for censorship, and developed their own voice in the seventy's in the arab world stage, i'm screen on al jazeera, examining the impact of today's headlines. this is what is the one about ensuring that lisa can continue and that come up on that and setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. i don't believe that i think in a society that isn't willing to kill international filmmakers and world class

journalists, bring programs to inform and inspire you need to have a media ensuring that voices are heard. on al jazeera lou. ah hello, are you watching out a 0? i'm emily angry. he's a reminder of our top stories this hour about of a control of the ukrainian city of baltimore to is intensifying the head of the russian. wagner mercenary group says there's fees fighting. the city has been the focus of moscow's offensive for weight. the head of the roman catholic church has held a mass to and he is, it's read a visit to south sudan. francis mason timely displaced people and is called for an

end to these long conflict. the former pakistani president per share of has died after a long illness. he had been living in to 5 to 2016 to being found guilty of treason and sentence to death. occult and pakistan overturned that sentence back in 2020. and for more on that, let's bring in asia to because she's a senior fellow at the department of war studies at kings college london and joined us via skype is aisha. thanks so much for being on the program for how do you think every day pakistani will be remembering the sheriff? well, every day park is sunny. his probably forgotten about him cuz he's been away from the country for quite some years now. and on. you know the manor unceremoniously that he was taken out by the military, by the army chief usury who sits now and saudi arabia himself,

while the court had was drawing him for treason for imposing emergency, which is what the constitution says. 973 confusion of park sunset. that marshal cannot be declared. and whoever does that is punishable by death. so while the court was trying him, he was taken out by the army. so people have ordinary people honestly and forgotten about. what about his legacy internationally, and particularly by india when his one legacy is that he these a man who was the architect of the last was between india and fox opperation, goggle, in which he had not even taken his own air force and navy and confidence. and was just for generals, would sacrifice to really put all me

a bunch of men, s history men, an in harm's way. but then he, later, once he was in follow, he learned that, you know, it was important to have peace with india. and he kind of traced his way back and negotiated, i think that was the last negotiation that in a box on the had the most shoot for negotiations. so that way it says legacy as far as region is concerned, with both a war and peace. it was also an ally of the united states, particularly the bushes administration, but that led to criticism at home didn't yes, it did. partly because while he was, while he was convincing, you know, why was partnering with the united states, he was also keeping militants at home. of, you know, he had never kind of completely disassociated his army from, from militancy and from violent extreme. it's still on the one hand there was dad

and on the other because he had little option when $911.00 happened, he had to cooperate with united states and he did it in tom whole money, which was the army main interest. what can we learn from his time as president, if we're to reflect and write the history will well this, he's a man under whom, you know, money was received from the united states as part of the aid package, both 911 and as a result of cooperation counter terrorism corporation between boxed on in the us so box and was flushed with money relatively, but did he create systems could do to create new systems? the answer is no. i mean, he tried to create a national accountability bureau which was basically targeting

politicians. i mean, and we're the aim of creating politicians that would be subservient to do more sharpe. so that's one. the other is that he started this war in below, just on against ballade nationalist against, even again targeting even with those below watch leaders who, you know, who are ready to speak with and talk to the fox on the state. so, and that insurgency which started under charlotte, this continues and in fact grows. so there's a lot of instability today in pakistan, which is rooted in sheriff's time. okay, we really appreciate your in science. we have to move on to a senior fellow at the king's college london. thank you. turkish police have arrested 15 people accused of links to i,

so police and assemble reportedly detained. the suspects accusing them of planning attacks on the swedish and dutch consulates as well as churches and synagogues. it follows days of security warnings by western consulates, who temporarily closed. they stumble offices for more nice arrests. so let's bringing moran as land. he is a security researcher and joins us on skype from anchor at. thanks so much for being on the program. and let me just find my questions. certainly, what's your understanding of what these people were planning to enter? i think we should 1st understand exactly the tracks and then ambiguities and done projections. we can clean projections. the fact is that there was an intelligence officer of the united states in turkey, which was spotted by turkish intelligence. and he was in touch with these darsh members, and then he went back to his country. and turkish intelligence monitored exactly to

whom he negotiated and what timings are. so right after he went back there was a sort of letting report or medical counseling or american embassy that there really be some sort of attacks to the closely seen toki. well, these are you, bass. on the other hand, the ambiguities are really clear. this intelligence officer negotiated with the 1824. what reason? and what was the context of these direct dialogue? this is one question. people are asking in here. and 2nd thing, they did not inform turkish, please. turkish intelligence organizational state. i mean turkish oracles. so it's a question mark while you're on, on that context. what is the context of these arrest, particularly after race and protests in turkey following the binding of the koran in stock? i'm in a similar incident in the hague. well,

you can link these 2 east events to each other. that's the logical, all calm of any revenue dust. that's correct. on the other hand, if the u. s. intelligence officer is in direct communication with dice members in turkey. so they must clearly and knows exactly what the contextual disturb, rex dialogue. because if you link the secretion of kron into countries with this incident, that people started to, you know, circling some rumors that actually it's the western or american plot directly to this credit, turkish government periods, the elections. what looking more broadly, how much of a threat is i sell? now? whether i says is marginalized, either been the rock, celia and they have some selves in tokyo, police is continuously operating again,

ester, this is one for, but there is no negotiation. there is no legitimate contract or any sort of tolerance to dashing turnkey on the other end. de problem in here in the united states is trying to say, let's keep our eye on bulb indicating that there is a fight against isis in the rock or syria doesn't matter. i think, turnkey and united states must be on the same page. this regarding exactly the locations of these organizations, or i really appreciate your in science, miranda azlan, a security analysts joining us from anchor a. thank you. a presidential election. he's and alliance. i press the countries facing a cost of living crisis, corruption scandals, and migration crisis opinion polls suggest the poll will go chill. i ran off on february 12. none of the leading contenders are expected to secure a majority of the vouch. all people in ecuador are also

heading to the polls to elect local officials and vote on constitutional reforms. many observers say the referendum as a test for the president whose approval writing suits at less than 20 percent. alexandra ram, p f. e reports from the capital key to apathy and frustration are on the rise among voters in kito ahead of sundays, wide ranging referendum, promoted by embattled press. you didn't get more lasso to address the countries deteriorating, social and economic conditions like, you know, we have no faith in politicians for all the scandals that happened recently. people has lost trust in politics. if that goes on with an approval rating below 20 percent, a hostile congress, mounting governments, corruption allegations, and a dramatic rising gang related crime. conservative president lasso has been left with little space to maneuver, thought that the 8th referendum questions,

which cover security issues, reducing the number of lawmakers in congress, environmental protection, and the possible extradition of ecuadorian could help him regain initiative and recall balance with those popular, popular consultations usually become a referendum on the current administration. but in this case, despite the president's major last and political capital, the referendum has strong support because it addresses fundamental issues for the people. that critics argue that last was hoping to use the referendum for a personal political when a way to try to boost to port for his failing presidency, to the detriment of the countries democracy was the former president of ecuador, the constitutional assembly says the reduction of assembly members will reduce representation of remote areas and strength in the hands of the most powerful parties, the offering that i want to confront up a lot of, you know, not that far from solving problems, this referendum could exacerbate some of them. it's like
