her. this is g.w. news live from berlin chilling is under a state of emergency after days of deadly protests the government canceling a metro fare hike that sparked the on rast and we look at what is fueling the outbreak. also coming up empty austerity protests bring lebanon to a standstill the government races to come up with an economic rescue plan as protesters have vowed to fill the streets for a 5th straight day and polls open in canada's national vote recent scandals

could spoil just into those chances for his 2nd term the prime minister in a close race against a conservative challenger. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program today has been rocked by 3 days of protests violence and looting now fires in the capital some tiago over the weekend have led to 8 deaths and over 1500 people arrested a planned hike in public transportation fares sparked that on rest that has now been cancelled but protesters say that their discontent runs deeper they're calling for an all out general strike. chile's capital sente all go. protest started by students. have exploded into much wider ranging violence.

including writing. and some looting. several people have already been killed by fires and more than a 1000 people have been arrested. chile is under an official state of emergency. now. we are at war against a powerful implacable enemy who does not respect anything or anyone. and who is willing to use violence in crime without any limits the. soldiers are on the streets for the 1st time in nearly 30 years the 1st time since general pinochet's military units are. originally about to hike in public transport costs these protests and now about much more inequality and the cost of living. yet some did decide to come back his rhetoric president pinera met with lawmakers and has

pledged to reduce excessive inequality the writing has however divided people. especially the mass torching and destruction of santiago subway systems which ordinary people are now cleaning up. so yes they are i was born and raised here so i saw them build all the metro stations and this metro should be for my grandchildren. what 10 should be for everyone i'm sure but at the level of some of that the local authorities say it will take months to fix meanwhile people are now stockpiling fuel for the week ahead as chile braces for more of the same. let's get more background on what is going on in chile we are joined by 2 musketeers who is from spanish and you're actually from chile therefore i'm wondering are you surprised by this anger that we're seeing spilling out onto the streets to be on. i'm not surprised maybe about the reasons that the new stray

sions are actually showing right now but not quite repressed me is the level that say of violence we have i know a country at the moment. details of the amount of people that is in the streets right now actually asking and demanding the state of chile some change in the political system some change in the economic system and i think that is like the most impressive thing at the moment right now these kind of demonstrations have never been seen before since the dictatorship we're talking about like 31 years ago so they're probably totally let's say like shocked by. what is happening right now so let's talk a little bit more about the economics of what is going on internally within the country because we have to mention chile is the is the richest country in latin america but you know that prosperity is not shared by all is it exactly actually also brother a couple of facts they're also from from they sions case also from the economy

commission for let america and the caribbean for example to stay 1000000000 bit more what is to use inequality about we haven't in one hand for example that a 50 percent of the people they earn surround $500.00 not a lot not a lot in compared to the only 1.01 percent that earns more than $800000.00 so you can see the level of inequality we have right now in the country which is also one of the main reasons that people are now protesting in the street but the other hand we have also a last report for example in general from the economic commission for latin america and the caribbean which is states actually that 26.5 per cent of the wealth of the country is only halted by one percent of the country so basically as you can see this is like one of the most let's say the heaviest reason that is moving to people what do you make of the government's response to this because we are seeing the president kenyatta describing the situation as the country being added. war at war

with its own citizens essentially how do you think the citizens are going to respond exactly i think it's also important to maybe to the study he said also about a no known enemy that we are at war with and on an enemy which also kind of like i said the situation kind of like in a. dangerous situation right now. the people didn't take this well to be honest right now most of them are shocked by even the military military already being in the street which is also as i told you like only seen before in the dictatorship so only space saying this also some people and media jewels are saying it's only to put some oil on the fire you know so it's not of course it's not nice but to say in this moment which is a kind of funny because at the same time the general which is in charge of the state of emergency for example today in the morning he'll he said already that he's a happy man and he's not in war with anyone which is kind of like a contradiction with what the government said the cracks in the society so apparent

with this explosive response we have to say over the past couple of days to muscatine us from date of the spanish joining us with more on chilly thank you for . now meantime lebannon their cabinet there has agreed on a list of reforms to ease the country's economic crisis according to the president's office prime minister saad hedi has ordered his government to come up with a rescue plan after 5 straight days of anti austerity protests outrage over taxes and corruption has sparked the largest wave of dissent the country has seen in years. monday in beirut and the barricades are still up ready for a 5th day of protests. lebanon's coalition government set itself a monday deadline to pass a sweeping reform bill promising to end banking secrecy for politicians and cut ministers salaries in half. they want to appease both the protesters as well as middle eastern predators and western donors who don't tailed with these historic

demonstrations to voice their concerns about corruption lebanon is one of the most indebted countries in the world and this religiously diverse country is standing united in its condemnation of high unemployment poor public services and corruption . what is these ministers and legislators should be thrown in jail this thieves they were begging for money from other countries on behalf of the lebanese but then put the money in their own pockets because the the money this government has done nothing but divide us as well as making us poor citizens must retain their dignity this is why we won't leave the streets without taking down the regime and forming a transitional government with exceptional powers to rebuild the country the very thing. that these protests show a little sign of abating. over the weekend there were widespread calls for a jackal strike. let's bring in correspondent basile reddy who is

joining us live now from beirut and boss of the cabinet was very just heard reportedly agreeing on a list of reforms tell us more. it's like the cabinet meeting is still in progress they are not discussing the flying of. these forms if i can which means which may need basics basically. would be an exercise in lebanon at the electricity. and the navy sector since more than the use of the main demands in lebanon media forms must. be done with the. explicit oh it's a good people they said it in lebanon so coming about to finish all the discussions about the that he falls back it's but ultimately we have to mention i mean the protesters they are calling for dramatic action including the cabinet resigning

being replaced by a smaller one made of technocrats i mean these reforms don't go far enough in order to satisfy those demands today. so yes from the background from my ground all day for. a major in downtown. just in front of the cabinet the. court to hold the protest of increasing numbers now they are. coming so we can notice from all these protesters and all these doubts that they don't want the government and more. they said it's too late for such people because all these people they can't do it they could do it. even months. ailing economy. state so they are the asking for the designation of the government and this.

situation now i waiting for the prime minister. meeting with the ministers this attention. away from better than 50 kilometers i guess so when meeting the prime minister saad he will address the bunnies and all the protests and all of you know what he's waiting for the prime minister to see what's he have to say. but still i want to get the very latest from beirut where it is clearly a developing situation thank you very much for your reporting. thank you thank you . let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world australia's major newspapers have published redacted front pages and a coordinated campaign to protest laws that restrict press freedom it follows federal police raids earlier this year on the national broadcaster a.b.c. and

a news corp journalists home over 2 stories that have proved embarrassing for the government. a ballot count in bolivia shows left wing president evo morales in the lead following sunday's vote but it might not be enough for an outright win a runoff may be necessary come mid december but alice is seeking an unprecedented 4th term and despite getting credit for lifting millions out of poverty critics accuse him of corruption and anti democratic rule. voting has begun in canada's national election and it could be a nail biter for prime minister justin trudeau his campaign has been overshadowed by a series of errors that have raised allegations of racism and ethics violations recent polls show trudeau is liberals in a virtual dead heat with conservatives it could be good news for smaller parties like the left leaning new democratic party. in the lead up to kind of those elections it's been all but a smooth ride for prime minister justin trudeau his approval ratings drop to almost

record lows and his liberal party is engaged in the neck and neck race with the conservatives both are polling around 30 percent. despite a strong economy and low unemployment trudeau's popularity dipped after a series of scandals like this old photo of trudeau wearing blackface for his violation of conflict of interest rules. during the last weeks of campaigning to do is been trying to make up for his missteps often attacking his main opponent the conservative party here's the question you have to ask yourself. do you want $53000000000.00 worth of conservative cuts or do you want a progressive government that will continue investing in families and investing in communities that's the choice it's that simple and it's not important.

it's not true those attacks aren't the only worry of conservative leader andrew scheer he is also quite unpopular according to the polls in one of the closest races in recent years most of the conservatives and the liberals may not win a big enough majority to govern alone. this is where joe meek seeing leader of the left leaning new democratic party could come into play with approval ratings soaring forest party sink could become the kingmaker of canada's election as a prospective partner in a liberal minority government of the united states is struggling to get an opioid crisis under control more than $400000.00 people have died and millions more are addicted now a landmark trial will decide whether the pharmaceuticals industry helped to pay for this crisis alexander phenomena reports from maryland about how the opioid epidemic is impacting lives just take it out the box hold your thought on the bottom of the

plunger and press one time and whichever nostril you prefer they are learning how to use narcan and nasal spray that's going to help reverse an opioid overdose 1st responders social workers especially members of people on the front lines of america's crisis the health the problem and recommends the training through anyone working with the public or we're trying to target the mandate community to get them mark in i know for sure for a fact we have saved several lives just putting this in the hands of those who need it. brian overly completed the training but he tells me he never expected to needed here and his library he did when a visitor with symptoms of an overdose was discovered in the restroom the library and use narcan to save his life we've never had anyone cross this line before we've had to call the ambulance as before we call the police sometimes but we've never

had anyone fully pans out like this so it is perhaps more telling of. the epidemic as a whole. that it is now becoming. visible. maryland ranks among the top 5 states in the u.s. in related overdose deaths it has seen a nearly 300 percent increase since 2010 they also are to spill the pharmaceutical companies have been fueling the crisis maryland's attorney general has filed charges against purdue pharma accusing the company of engaging in the sept of trade practices to sell highly addictive painkillers such as oxycontin they knew what to do to proper use and the fact is that many people became addicted to heroin because they couldn't afford oxycontin became addicted to certain opioid medications and switched to her own because it was cheaper maryland is just one example for how

america is struggling with the epidemic cities and counties across the united states have filed thousands of lawsuits over the crisis targeting every facet of the health care industry from drug makers to pharmacies to individual doctors they wants to industry to pay up to recoup the costs borne by communities grappling with widespread addiction. communities like this one in maryland where they're desperately need help to fight the epidemic but they also. the want the pharma industry to admit they're wrong doing and you're. right and you argue yellin it from day business is joining us now in the studio for more on this story we have now the 1st federal trial in the united states opioid crisis getting underway walk us through what it is about exactly the heart of the trial is about

the claim that drug companies marketed their powerful painkiller us to doctors improperly over selling the benefits and understating the risks when patients as doctors about side effects and addiction drug companies simply told doctors to tell the patients you know that there's no need to worry about anything just to pet the hand and tell them that everything is going to be all right although they knew better and this is big pharma that we're talking about care right as tell us that some of the companies that are involved oh they own 6 companies that have remained in the case after a series of settlements and shooting one with johnson and johnson and a tentative deal with oxycontin make a 3rd you fama there's one drug maker left in the trial and that's teva and then a few distributors like cod on the health and walgreens pharmacy chain the companies all said that they have prepared to mount a vigorous defense especially the distributors they say they just get their drop by the living drugs you know prescribe drugs from doctors to patients who is to be

believed here what do you think the verdict well i think the case is legal bellwether here and it's intended to signal how rulings might go in the future and similar cases but i think even the last minute settlement is possible you know a committee which includes victims of the opiate crisis health insurer pension unsure and many others they suggest that all claims could be resolved in exchange for cash and addiction treatment drax valued at a total of 48000000000 dollars and although that is a very very high figure talks ongoing especially when you consider how many people have been affected your gallon ik thank you so much. through the protesters in hong kong have defied an official down and staged more pro-democracy rallies over the weekend some turning violent for months now an unlikely figure has put

himself right in the middle of clashes between police and activists utopia surely tolson pill met up with this person in hong kong who won't be kept on the site. at a.t.t. few could match his stamina but uncle wally is driven by profound sense of responsibility . for this we move to canada and tear gas on one side. and petrol bombs on the other. he doesn't shy away. instead he deschutes towards the front lines for morning until night weekend after weekend to protect those he says the financing for the home oh he's lived in for the night. or more young have enjoyed years of democracy in hong kong but we're living in a new era the world has changed dramatically in the last few months. you're going to get back i'm watching going anywhere yet but i got why are so many young people being assaulted by the police. but that means

a lot of police should be protecting people hold on monday's are going to go to uncle long as a member of the community group protect the children led by constable return they put themselves between the police and protest it's guiding the young people they aim to shield the way i think. but as every passing week worries move by the day the stakes get a little bit high and. i don't fear death not when the children are out here fighting for democracy and risking their own lives it's the responsibility of elderly people like me to come out and protect them if i fear death i wouldn't be as yeah as tempers boil over uncle one pushes for calm the weeks of unrest have taken their toll on both sides i don't like everyone i. told them of to hold on to this type of behavior as a passionate pro-democracy african to uncle one please with police not to hurt

protesters. if they're arrested and charged with pricing they face up to 10 years in prison i don't take them for dividends if i was caught hard facts yeah the children just want to fight for democracy freedom and human rights the core values of hong kong and to prevent hong kong from becoming just another chinese city if we can help the young people to when the movement i will be very happy i will be able to die without regrets you know. going on though you. were found by you more involved all right ok wong says he'll keep returning to the streets as long as the protests continue. one man and his walking stick now an icon of the movement. their exciting weekend in the bundesliga backs merrill from b. to b. sports is here with the breakdown so there's so many teams jostling for the top spot. what happened to shock at that one sunday yet they played yesterday and went

into the game with a chance of going top if they won and they had previously won 4 games then drawn so they were in good form but they faced hosts often time who the previous much they had beaten the reigning champions by in munich so let's see how it all shook out. hoffenheim welcome shellcode to the southwest looking for back to back wins off the last match day shot victory of a boy and it would have to be a nother upset with devin wagner's side meeting just 3 points to go chop off the match day 8 and shell quint close off to just 3 minutes daniel caligiuri clipping the outside of the post with a sumptuous free kick close but not close enough. as they did against by and it was hoffenheim who struck 1st though alexander newbill could only parry from the last baby on break the march did the rest one nil to the hosts. the croatians 1st goal of

a season arriving in the 72nd minute. and they put the game to bed in the 85th minute babeu racing clear of the shock of the fence. before applying the finishing touch to wrap things up. nightmare defending from shell. on cloud 9. to nail the final score david wagner's side holds it as the hoffenheim revival continues. well a bad slip up for shell career is the 2nd time they've done this 2nd time they've had the chance to go top and just didn't quite get it done not a very good track record on that but you know if we talk but generally speaking i mean it means that we have 9 teams there just 2 points apart at the top what does this say about the state of the bun to seek a stay of competition right now yeah well i think it's great it's an exciting time to be a bundesliga fan right now especially in neutral you just watching all these games and every week the tables completely different shape at the top and i mean this is

actually a record never ever has happened in the bundesliga before that at this stage there are only 2 point separating 1st from the 9th ever since the bundesliga went to 3 points for a win system that was in the mid ninety's and we look at other leagues across europe france there's 10 points between those exact same places spain 6 points a little less because the top sides are struggling but it's only 11 england teams so just 2 points we can take a look at that table where we can see that you know among those teams is pretty much all quality sides fribourg you would expect to drop off but everyone else in that list has a fighting chance of finishing at the very least in the top 6 if not the top 4 so a couple of teams that are struggling for consistency that would be the criticism that people would level that but i think it's an exciting time for the blandest again the real chance for one of those teams to kind of be an outsider to make it into the champions league or europa league but you know you're talking at the top of the table we look at the bottom of the table that's actually quite a different story isn't and yet there's one team that really stands out that is not doing so well they were beaten yesterday by cologne who we can we can take

a look at the goals 3 nil cologne home victory they are a promoted side as up out of born grew up playing in that rather garish yellow they have no other good time alone his scoring 3 times and have one still yet to win now how to bowl and were in the bundesliga a few years ago then dropped down quite dramatically 2 runs so into the 3rd division then bounced back with back to back promotions i think it's just come a little bit too soon. i'm cologne looking a little bit more at home in the bundesliga especially after that 3 know when they'd only scored 5 goals this season so far now they've got 8 slowly but surely getting accustomed where as possible and i think i'm down on one point so a 5 point margin already for them to get out of the bottom spot the bottom line is if you want to see action turn to the bundesliga this season x. mail from database for its thank you. and you're watching news coming to you live from berlin coming up next it is evil india the environment magazine and don't
