for more let's cross to santiago where correspondent john bartlett is standing by john you've just come from the demonstration can you describe what it's like there yeah it's remarkable this evening night school and now it's it's people start to go back to their homes there's a real feeling of hope i think that's something that you can you can definitely feel around there's a lot of singing going on in the streets you can even you can still hear the horns now i was at your place was where you had the last you know it's a kind of helicopters sirens and things. don't seem to change enough not to say that having being kind of isolated instance and violence around the kind of peripheries of the protests. but yeah i think that there's a real kind of feeling of hope that's the kind of overriding sentiment in the room . this is not the only protest happening in the country right now tell us about the others. yes i'm not sure how many exactly that have been across across the country
7:03 am
today in every major city there was the government came out some statistics earlier and earlier in the week they said 54 separate marches throughout the country and they haven't said anything since about who exactly how many of these but it's certainly they say it's become a nationwide movement and the things we as we speak of it is it's not going concern cool 66 so it's well this isn't this isn't some 100 class to speak this isn't. a kind of general movement is kind of weather and so i was excited to see people like that that are on the streets and i think that's the most kind of lifting thing seems like well it's the sheer kind of threat to us so keeps it simple. and what are these protesters demanding. i think it's still the demands and one thing it's incredible to think that just a week ago people were obviously all kind of hall bringing these feelings and nobody had really kind of nice to kind of put them into any kind of coherent form
7:04 am
to really kind of come out and and say anything to in this kind of us we're seeing at the moment. the main demand at the moment for a lot of people i saw this evening was for a new constitution whether that's like a constituent assembly is realistic i think it's basically. people are also demanding kind of political casualties as well the interior minister andres chadwick the cousin of the president it's been a target of a lot of people also in saying that they want to see the preston. to be to resign i think. that's perhaps a little funds of what they think that's going to happen is a democratically elected president in less than 2 years in the election so i think it's i think that people really want to see profound change not kind of completely across the board people are kind of sick of the model. that chile has been laboring under for such a long time now so it would say exactly the kind of the one thing that people want
7:05 am
to see but i think it's just kind of profound change across across so many different areas and ministration listens to people and truly there's a true feeling that they actually want to talk to inequality here in china ok we'll leave it there correspondent john barclay in chile's capital santiago thank you now to some of the other stories making news around the world. in iraq at least 30 people are dead after police fired at anti-government demonstrators at several protests around the country crowds gathered in cities including baghdad and basra and set fire to around 50 official buildings they want to government to resign calling for anti corruption reforms. protests have continued in bolivia after president evo morales was declared the winner of last weekend's elections despite allegations of fraud critics called the elections rigged following an unexplained 24 hour pause in vote counting the united nations also backs an independent audit

hillary clinton. for more i'm joined by d.w. correspondent. in washington d.c. pavlo democrats will get information about russian interference in the 26th election that they haven't seen before why is this important. well this is a very big victory for the democrats it essentially gives them validity to the ongoing impeachment inquiry against president trump the chief u.s. district judge beryl howell basically dismissed the administration's arguments for withholding the materials from congress now one of those elements is that there was a need to keep the information secret even though the miller investigation has in fact ended now the judge also said the department of justice is claims that it couldn't provide grand jury material was wrong and claims by the white house and some republicans that a formal vote was needed for impeachment was also deemed incorrect and she also

7:09 am
a justice department spokeswoman said it was reviewing the decision and president trump has repeatedly attacked the russia investigation even in the months after he had concluded so in many respects we kind of expect what he'll say in some ways but for now we also mustn't forget that the u.s. justice department has in fact have begun an investigation into the origins of the mourner inquiry and the department basically began a review into the special counsel's inquiry what they did was they're looking into whether the collection of intelligence on the trim campaign including by the f.b.i. which led to monitors inquiry was in fact all folds so that's being at reportedly it's turned into a criminal inquiry which basically means that witnesses can be subpoenaed files can be charged and they can use fact finding grand juries am as part of their probe so you know it's another twist and turn in this in this impeachment process that we're
