voice calls in beirut suddenly have in common they can quickly become weapons when the state needs more money and weapons of an angry public that says enough is enough on opposite ends of the world in chile and in lebanon calls for revolution and for politicians to come clean tonight the high cost of living that may now come with a political price too high to pay i'm for golf in berlin this is the day. battles . against a powerful implacable enemy and sadly 5 people were killed in this fire just you know i'm a happy man i'm not at war with anyone. that we're not leaving the streets there sometimes you have to know your voice is being heard it's life as if nothing will

happen to my best and i will not allow anyone to threaten or intimidate. we don't believe a quarter of what he says. also coming up in syria the americans are leaving the russians aren't going anywhere what about the germans tonight a plan from the woman who could become germany's next chancellor. is this i in my recommendation is that we stablish an internationally controlled security zone in cooperation with turkey and russia. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day after a weekend of rage in chile at least 11 people were killed 1500 arrested in violent protests that have shaken the south american country 10000 troops are now patrolling the streets. it's and today chilean president sebastian pinera extended

a state of emergency beyond the capital sun tiago the unrest is the worst that chile has seen since the end of the pinochet dictatorship some 3 decades ago and it began just last week when the government announced a 3 percent hike in the price of metro tickets angry protesters torched at least a dozen metro stations as a result and that ticket price increase it has now been scrapped but demonstrators say it does not address social injustice and inequality in the country they claim the government's economic policies have widened the gap between rich and poor and they claim that the president is out of touch just last week president piniella described his country as in a way says among south america's troubled economies on sunday night he called the protesters delinquent and he declared the country is now at war with evil we have this report. another day of protests in chile. thousands have taken to the

streets once again in santiago and valparaiso. the military used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowds of demonstrators president sebastian pinera sent in the troops to maintain order after a weekend of chaos in several cities there were deaths amid violent clashes arson attacks and looting. the cause was a planned hike in public transport fares angry rioters set this garment factory on fire on sunday 5 people died here the president declared a state of emergency. we are at war with a powerful relentless enemy that the respects nothing for anyone and is willing to use violence and crime without any limits. even when it involves the loss of human lives. many residents of santiago tried to get back to normal life

the city's metro reopened. as did a small number of supermarkets where people waited in long lines to be let in. motorists also faced long waits to fill up. well you know thank you it's a bit of a quiet morning compared to the previous days at least after everything i hear during the night it looks calm now imagine it would be worse to be honest. but total calm seems a long way off with the protests showing no signs of letting up. and for more on chile's protests and anger i'm joined tonight by a crystal ball called fossa he's a political science professor at the diego portales university in chile's capital santiago professor it's good to have you on the program tonight let me ask you as a citizen of chile are you surprised to see what's happening. yes i'm known to be

honest i'm surprised in the sense that nobody expect that he's going to turn so fast. and they're not surprised because those who have been doing research like myself and many colleagues we do know that the levels of inequality and anger of the lesion 'd are extremely high and this is the main cause of the problem is that we are seeing nobodies and so you say that academics as yourself people on the street they know that this gap between the rich and the poor has gotten bigger and yet just last week the president of chile said that your country is in no way says among south america's problematic economies is he really that album of touch with reality. well i think that the important role mr president but the government in general but also the you know even more in more general sense i mean there are many many people in this country who are very rich who are not really understanding

there are many people on the streets normal cd sense struggling to to come till the end of the month because the summer resort not good enough to say and because all those who are completely out of touch are saying certain scenes that generate more and more attention and this is i would say one of the main problems that we're seeing nowadays and these probably one of the reasons why the protestant are scaling up so to say what did you make last night of the president's speech where he said he basically blamed the protests on students calling them young delete quints and he said that the country is at war with evil that's not that's not a positive constructive language coming from your leader is. exactly anything this is part of the problem we have a government at the moment and e's not doing what we should expect instant instead

of saying that he understand the cause of the problem and that he understands that this regime is not an easy one but he wants to stop the style of he's doing exactly the opposite he's saying that we need more repression or series a big problem because of that right the disease is not going to solve the main problem of the country and instead he's using these very provocative and polarizing language and you have to wonder as an outsider professor looking at chile this government is democratically elected this is what the voters wanted and yet the president seems to be terribly out of touch with what the common voter experiences every week at the grocery store for example so you know whose fault is it that this disconnect exists is it really the elites fault or is it you know the people the voters fault for putting these people in power. well i think to be fair we depressives and this is a longstanding problem of this country destroying didn't start 4 years ago who we

economy runs in this country needs to insurgents and related to the pinochet dictatorship and the nearly reforms that were implemented 30 years ago but going back to our current president we need to understand that turned up 11 elections extremely you know approximately 50 percent of the nation going to the polls which means that the group president was supported wholly by 25 percent of the nation so it's and democratic elected either not 50 percent of the mission voted for him only 25 percent and he doesn't have a majority can congress and this is again part of the problem of what we're seeing today. like a situation you have in a country known as the united states i think if you want to make that comparison the government tonight was. sense yes yeah yeah i mean there are similarities there i want to ask you about what the government is saying tonight we've got

a report that the government in chile says that the unrest that we have seen will undoubtedly impact the country's economy do you agree with that. well the economy of the country and this is one of the paradox if you compared the economy of chile and we do rest of latin america is in a relatively good shape i mean economic growth should be around 3 percent inflation is under control and employment it's not very high but of course if the currency to asia mix such surveillance and political grotty sation continues and repression grows of course we're going to have a very very difficult situation we need that i would agree there's now when they stop using polarizing language and try to speak a language that connects we did the amounts of the people again we know that reforms are not going to be easy easy to be made but we need another type of language and this is not not what it is you know that good advice that i think applies to

a lot of countries around the world at the moment professor crystal ball revealed a culture vasa joining us tonight from santiago professor we appreciate your time and your insights thank you. thank you very much. from south america to the middle east in lebanon people are protesting as well demanding an end to corruption and social inequality today prime minister hariri announced that economic reforms are on the way including massive cuts in politician salaries but that did not send the demonstrators in beirut home some are calling for a revolution and we all started when the government announced a tax on what's app voice calls that tax has since been scrapped the anger in the public it remains. what 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 that then put the money in their own pockets that 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 policies to rebuild the country. ard for more now we want to take the story to beirut i'm joined by our correspondent there bustle a really ball so it's good to see you let me ask you are you surprised at how quickly the prime minister has said he will meet the demands of the protesters. no in fact at all it's was obvious since it's because of these huge crowds that took to the streets the last 5 days mainly yesterday the old major cities in lebanon lost the downtown offered with the 2 main squares in dot on both the market

squares and the squares which is in front of the the presidential headquarters the sort of the prime minister had sort of some old coats old beastliness natures that due to the seats. in these days it was obvious that the government will do will meet the protesters the months obvious especially since the 1st tryst 1st 24 hours of these demonstrators old ministers mainly. telecom announced that he's going to pull back the old beast back that that that was on the point discussion and nothing was for sure according to the minister of telecom so it was obvious that the government we'd go we proceed would be false packages let me ask you then if if you know if it was so obvious that these demands will be met why are the protests continuing because we haven't really seen many

people leaving and going home. not utterly the the. clothes was full of crowded of crowds sunday and that's one thing according to the demonstrates of a conduct to the old these people on the streets in tripoli in nazi lebanon to the south of lebanon old these cities with a skinflint one thing that is the nation of the government they say lead us to the speech of the prime minister saud how easy they said it it is that they don't trust these authorities anymore they want full of promises they want any more of these promises i mean we know the civil war ended in 1990 we've had almost 30 years but many segments of the lebanese economy they still remain you know in horrible condition in does this government i mean doesn't it does it have any it is

a safe to say that it has no credibility left with the public. accordant the public. like he had no knowledge currency in my bag down the central bank of lebanon the banking sector according to the packages announced. that they're going to take it one of these 3 phones. by the point $2000000000.00 i don't think $1000000000.00 made it through. like as an aid to the economy most of these money all of these. buckets from the banking sector we go through the electricity off lebanon and it's good to people. that want a major problem in lebanon since that to use to now the population which count on the private sector would write that generators do. between the. 2 gain some electricity and puzzled me ask before we run out of time you know

we have talked in many many times about lebanon being a country where the politicians have used sectarian differences sic tarion violence to maintain power but with these protests we're not talking about security and violence and we were talking about she attacking shia for example this is this is across the board protest that's different for the country isn't it. for the 1st time according to all of the local newspapers the 1st time since the independence in 1950 it's the 1st time that lebanon witnessed such huge protesters and. action in the streets of lebanon old the dots all over the cities in lebanon in one voice the old open elliptical. division that is so the. united. in one voice they need they want diggnation of the government and to change

and to take down you all of the city which is based on stick to shoots it will be very very interesting to see how this is moving forward that is for sure correspondent bussell a reading joining us from beirut special thank you very much thank you. what kind of future will northern syria have the united states has departed the russians plan to stay what about the kurds and what about the turkish military well there is a new proposal from germany to not germany's defense minister is calling for an internationally patrolled security zone in syria along the border with turkey that is also war what's turkey wants but there is a big difference germany's plan puts the zone under international control not under the direction of turkey. my

recommendation is that we've established an internationally controlled security zone in cooperation with turkey and russia. and this security zone would seek to resume the fight against terror and against isis which has currently come to a standstill it would also ensure that we stabilize the region so that rebuilding civilian life is once again possible and so that those who have fled can also return voluntarily. i want to bring in the w.c. political editor michelle look if there she conducted that interview with the german defense minister mykola what exactly is a k k what is she hoping to achieve with this proposal well she wants to change the debate she wants to bring the european union out of the defensive from the sidelines as she herself said just watching what turkish president and vladimir

putin of russia potentially will map out when they meet on tuesday because that one said he would decide what to do after that well now there's a new factor here potentially and i think i stress potentially a european proposal on the table saying yes we're looking internationally administered a safe zone that could possibly have troops or forces from the european union and russia how realistic is that well nobody talks about russian forces coordination they want to bring on. bring on board russia and turkey whatever that means in the end when you're talking about e.u. forces there's no such thing as a european union army this is a very long debate. and i did try and press the german defense minister whether that could potentially mean german boots on the ground to military commitment let's just listen to what. he said the fog of the question how germany handles this

politically and more than anything what this could mean for our armed forces is a question that must be decided by the winter stock was so that's the standard out so that from politicians the parliamentary army everything has to be it has to go through the bonus talk but she did cite the example of iraq where w. does recognizance flights and training so that sounds a lot more soft touch than what she said 1st i mean it's still a question does that mean should the german army join this operation. well this is the question she successfully ducked by saying that she acts upon the request of the german parliament this is something that has hampered germany in also in nato but in all kinds of alliances so quite clearly this is somebody who wants to kick start a debate also here in germany i think there's a very large proportion of playing this to a domestic oil unsealed despite being

a very international question we can also listen to islam but that we have on that . as a system of this is 1st of all a proposal by making his party leader and as defense minister i know it's a proposal that is supported by many defense and foreign policy experts in my party . before going public with this recommendation i informed the chancellor and this will definitely be discussed within the government but we can't simply talk about europe needing to be more than a bystander we must come up with our own proposals to catalyze discussion. and stewards so this announcement was made not by the chancellor but by germany's defense minister should be read anything out of this absolutely under all this is the woman who wants to succeed america as the next chancellor i think this is yet another sign that we are much closer to a potential collapse of the so-called grand coalition with the social democrats

because i don't see any chance of the social democrats going for this proposal this would mean potentially more engagement she has trouble getting through that 2 percent spending goal for nato in the 1st place so clearly this is her setting stepping out of the shadow of trying to her popularity numbers are not there good to her is that another reason why she's being so present with this proposal she said she doesn't have a lot to lose currently her popularity is pretty low also she's being attacked from within her own party appealing to the party not to do the kind of infighting that's destroying the social democrats has not succeeded so far so this in the attempt to lay down the law to show that she can play tough and that she can do german chancellor right. as always bill thank you. in hong kong there were more pro democracy rallies over the weekend some of them were violent for months now and unlikely figure has put himself in harm's way

squarely between police and the activists in charlotte jails until introduces us to hong kong's uncle was wrong a man who has seen it all and refuses to stay on the sidelines. a.t.t. few could match his stamina but uncle wally is driven by found sense of responsibility . 9 between who's a can and into a death one sites and fetch of dogs on the other. he doesn't shy away. instead he desk is towards the front line from morning until night weekend after weekend critic days he says it's fighting for the home he's lived in. a more i have enjoyed use of democracy in hong kong but we're living in a new era the world has changed dramatically in the last few months. they're going to get back on watching going yes but our guys why are so many young people being

assaulted by the police. are getting older police should be protecting people hold on mondays are going to be no. uncle long as a member of the community group protect the children lead by constable each turn 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 if the stakes get a little bit higher. i don't fear death not when the children are right here fighting for democracy and risking their own lives it's the responsibility of an elderly couple like me to come out and protect them if i fear death i wouldn't be as young as tempers boil a the uncool one pushes for calm but weeks of unrest have taken their toll on both sides i don't like every one of. them of a horror to this type of behavior as

a passionate pro-democracy advocate uncle one please with police not to hurt protesters. if they're arrested and charged with rising they face up to 10 years in prison under general david onstott i was a little car 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. going under oh you. were found my life oh involve my writing ok wong says he'll keep returning to the streets as long as the protests continuing. one manage his walking stick now an icon of the movement.

and finally how about this place for a round of golf take a look with mount everest in the background golfers in they paul are taking advantage of the himalayan scenery on what has to be the most spectacular course unmanageable there's only one real way to even get to this course and that is by helicopter if your wallet is big and. it's thought to be the 1st golf tournament that has ever been played at an altitude of 4000 meters. they say golfers have to have good lungs i guess. all right the days always don the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either news or you can call me a brick 50 used the hash tag the day i remember whatever happens between now and tomorrow is another day we'll see then everybody.
