have a good night. this is bbc news. we'll have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. each day before the sun rises in northern chile, people venture up and up. across bumpy terrain, to where the altitude is high enough to make you light—headed. the air is thin and even in summer, the temperatures are near freezing. so these are one of the main draws for tourists coming here to the desert. an incredible place. it's the largest ease of

field in the southern hemisphere. and here in the andes mountains, over 4000 metres, it's the highest in the world. but what i find especially incredible is that we're in the driest place on earth. but i'm notjust in chile sightseeing. i've come because bubbling up in this country has been an appetite for change. 30 years on from the era shaped by dictator a gusto to nashe, many here still want change. in 2019, millions took to the streets, angry at inequality and poor public services. but, by 2020, there were celebrations — a once—in—a—generation rewrite of their constitution was voted for. i visited as the finishing touches were being put on the

new draught, which, voted in next week, supporters say will bolster public services, give environmental protections and recognition to chile's indigenous communities for the first time. i wanted to see for myself some of the ways that the country is changing as it considers reshaping not only its constitution, but also its fundamental identity. which is why, 18 hours later, i find myself in the middle of the desert as night presses in. it's half 11 at night. i feel like i'm in the middle of nowhere. i'm not quite sure what i'm getting myself into.

the new constitution would also enshrine individuals�* rights to water. a precious resource in a country suffering droughts, and something crucialfor country suffering droughts, and something crucial for the indigenous community. this ceremony brings together members of the indigenous people around northern chile. they�*ve given us special permission to come along.

mabel passes aggro foil around the group, a drink with hallucinogenic effects made from a cactus plants.

it was amazing just to see the local people and how they were so passionate and emotional about this ceremony. i feel really privileged that we were able to be invited to something like this. you could still hear the drums in the background. it's the drums in the background. it�*s after four in the morning. it�*s after four in the morning. i might leave them to it. but a community rooted in tradition has been rubbing up against a world of evolving pace. like at the nearby town of san pedro de atacama, which has expanded significantly over the last two decades due to tourism. ok, look at this. there�*s a restaurant here

as a tour operator over there. cute little gift shop and a store selling hiking boots over there, buskers on the street, hotels with all their swimming pools. this is a town thatjust revolves around tourism. i can�*t imagine how much water that uses up. outside of the town, here in this hostile, barren desert, there isn�*t much that grows, but still, techniques passed down by the indigenous people allowed them to live here in harmony with nature. i wanted to catch up with rosa, the water bearer from last night�*s ceremony, to find out a little more about their position in the modern world here is changing. rosa, how is it so green here? this is crazy. it�*s like magic, hanks to the water. the idea is we respect the cycle, the winter, the mother earth rest. some of the techniques here use ancient atacama methods

like irrigation channels, which allow these plants to be watered sparingly just once a month. the idea of this project, teach to the world how important is preserve and protect the mother earth. when you come to the desert, not only is landscape and picture. it�*s introduced and understand how live the local people, how important is the water. and we can live and we can protect the wildlife, too. there are other big changes afoot for the wider community here. can you talk me through what this will mean for your people? well, this is good opportunity for recognise the indigenous people in chile, in the constitution. we have other

concepts, the life. concepts than life. and that is very important because they give more tools for protect the area, especially the water. recognition is beginning to take shape. some tourist sites like the gizas, are now co—managed by the indigenous community, allowing them to take an active role in their changing world. but the atacama weren�*t the first indigenous people to call chile home. i left rosa and headed further up the coast to arica. between 7000 and 1500 b:c., the hunter—gatherer chinchorro people lived here and developed complex mummification practices which have astounded 21st—century researchers. last year, chinchorro burial culture was officially recognised by unesco, who placed it on their worl

heritage list. but despite this, the chinchorro still haven�*t entirely caught the public�*s imagination. the small fishing village of coletta camarines is the closest town to one of the world�*s top sites where the chinchorro mummies have been found. but here, chinchorroenthusiasts will find little more than a themed restaurant and some statues. so before we came here, some people said you could see the mummies in the ground and some said you couldn�*t. so i wasn�*t sure what we�*d find. but while we were having lunch, we got talking to the guy who runs the place and he says he can show us some mummies in the ground. so and it�*s two minutes down the road, so we�*re on oui’ way. currently, the mummies buried in the ground are being left there by archaeologists

for their protection. 0k, ok, here? and as we approach, we take great care not to disturb any of the remains. it�*s so close to the road. wow. it�*s so close to the road. what was it like growing up here? did you see many mummies when you were a child?

there are thought to be thousands of mummies still in these hills and evidence of the chinchorro is scattered all around the area. behind the scenes of the san miguel da zappa museum, the careful study and preservation of the majority of the chinchorro mummies takes place. there�*s so many mummies here, vivian. how many? yes, we have about 70 mummies. chinchorro mummies in this store. let me show you. it�*s quite small. what can you tell me about this

mummy in particular? cos if it was me, i would be very scared to to work here. what do you love about yourjob? but these fragile relics, which date back as much as 2000 years before the egyptian mummies,

are deteriorating at an increasing rate in part due to climate change. there�*s no air conditioning here. conditioning here, and rising humidity levels are a big threat to the mummies. but it�*s hoped that a new $25 million museum will help protect them. so is the local people�*s relationship with these mummies starting to change?

do you know? do you know what i find really amazing? i�*d never even heard of the chinchorro mummies until i came to chile. now, this is crazy, because they�*re the oldest mummies in the world. and everyone, of course, has heard mummies, but not the chinchorro mummies. so i get the feeling that things here are slowly changing and maybe in the future, they�*ll get the recognition that they deserve. and along with this renewed appreciation of ancient chilean culture, there�*s also a greater focus forming on the stunning and unique landscapes and wildlife that you�*ll find here. i headed south to patagonia�*s new route of parks. here, 17 old and new

national parks national parks are joined together to create a huge network of wild areas to explore an area the size of switzerland. it�*s been one outcome from the largest private land donation in history to create a conservation project on a vast scale. myjourney to its heart takes me six hours in a 4x4. so we�*ve blown a tire. and as you can see behind me, the road is pretty rough. and as you can see behind me, the road is pretty rough. we�*ve hit one of these huge potholes, and i guess that�*s part of the story of tourism here. you know, the infrastructure is still a work in progress, but fortunately all the locals are being super helpful. for two american philanthropists,

doug and chris tompkins, the root of parks part of a decades—long project in both chile and argentinean patagonia. over the course of 30 years, doug, chris and the tompkins conservation organization bought two million acres of land across chile and argentina. i am very proud of what we do because every hectare we have ever purchased goes right back to the people of the country. if you want to conserve a territory and bring back species who've gone toward a point where their numbers are quite low, you have to, a, consult the geniuses of the place who are the people who've lived here for a very long time. because we're coming

in and we don't really that much about how these areas function and they do. skilled at protecting cattle and sometimes hunting predators. but gaucho don daniel now has a wider view of predators, he now monitors and protects native deer. today, he uses modern techniques to track the tagway mules nearby. so, the signal is quite strong when we point the antenna that way.

it�*s like one of those tv antennas from the tv antennas from the �*70s or �*80s that you had on your roof. but it seems to be doing thejob. oh, yeah, i can hear it. 99% of the original way mule population are thought to have been lost, placing the breed on the endangered list. with don daniel�*s help, we soon spot something in the distance. gosh. gosh, look at don daniel, go. so we�*ve actually found a way.

so we�*ve actually found a way deer. can you see him in the distance? he�*s just sitting there in the grass and he�*s quite well camouflaged. we move for a closer look and quickly see that there are, in fact, three way mule together. so we�*re approaching the deer from a lower ground angle so we don�*t scare them. it�*s unbelievable that now the numbers have grown and we�*ve been able to track

them within the space of a quarter of an hour. and here we are and we�*re able to get this close to them. doug tompkins sadly never saw his plan with crist finalised, as he passed away in 2015. a good friend of mine from new york city wrote to me just a few days after he died, and she said, "look, "you have a choice here. "you can be the long—suffering widow or you can get out "of bed and go do these things." and she was right. that was a conscious decision i was going to have to make. and so ijust thought,

"ok, let's go for it." and that's when i started trying to tie up everything and within two years, we had them all donated. wow. and that was a lot of work. and i think it saved my life needing to do that. yeah. i think there's a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in chile right now, young and old. and certainly the environment is one of the big platforms of this new administration. ijust don�*t think i was expecting. i was expecting what an amazing place of contrast this country is. but at the same time, there�*s lots bringing it together at the moment, like a new focus on the environment and conservation and ambition to set a new course for the future — treasuring their common heritage and their common land for generations to come.

hello. it�*s going to be a wet one for many of us this weekend. in fact, it�*ll feel more like september, perhaps even early october, with the strength of the wind — really not a pleasant picture at all. the weather systems are lining up in the atlantic. here�*s the satellite picture. multiple weather fronts heading in our direction and that cloud has already spread across the uk. it has been raining and the rain will get heavier in some areas as we go through the morning and into saturday afternoon. now, over the next two or three days, we will have rather a lot of rain in some parts of the country where you see the deeper blue colours here, the darker blues. that�*s the rainfall accumulating to around 50 millimetres of rain or more, so about a month�*s worth of rainfall in a couple of days. so the forecast for the morning

shows that rain across many parts of the country. the north of scotland, however, will have had clear skies and in fact, really chilly in the sheltered glens, maybe 4—5 degrees in rural spots, but for most of us, it�*s in the range of around 12—14. so a lot of cloud in the morning. the winds will also be strengthening in southwestern parts of the country to near gale force along some coasts. notice that the north of scotland escapes the rain. in fact, for ourfriends in lerwick, we�*re anticipating mostly sunny skies, and indeed northern parts of mainland scotland also enjoying some sunshine. all the weather action will be way to the south. outbreaks of rain turning heavier in northern ireland, parts of wales and also the northwest of england. all of this does not bode well for the ashes. interruptions are likely, and it also is not idealfor golf either. the forecast, then, for sunday. the low pressure is still with us. it�*s in a process of moving away into the north sea. but this long weather front here, well, it�*s

trying to pull away, but it�*s doing so at a glacial pace, so that does mean more rain to come, especially across parts of northern england and wales. now, come monday and tuesday, that low is across scandinavia. the weather does tend to improve a little bit, but the air is generally coming in from the north atlantic, so that means that the temperatures will remain subdued in the week ahead. and, actually, the weather outlook is still looking fairly unsettled with all of these shower symbols here in the outlook. wherever you are, have a good weekend.

to solve to the climate crisis. we�*ll speak with one expert mapping the way to a net—zero future. i�*m helena humphrey. great to have you with us.
