felt tower disaster in london a damning indictment of the emergency response a public inquiry to accuse is the fire brigade of serious shortcomings in tackling the blaze which killed 72 people. on the rock it's great to have you along everyone chile's president. has withdrawn his country from hosting the apec trade summit and the cop 25 climate climate meeting his decision comes after weeks of demonstrations and violent unrest which have left 18 people dead and seen thousands arrested imus traders are demanding greater economic equality and better public services the apec gathering in november was expected to bring together world leaders including us for. donald trump and his

chinese counterpart xi jinping. well just days ago president's been yanna insisted that the cop 25 climate summit and apec trade summit would go ahead as planned i asked john bartlett a correspondent in santiago if this was a major climbdown for the president. yeah i think i think you're right it's a kind of draw the draw the kind of the sense of magnitude of this this decision i think it was coming out at this is massively a surprise i think that the you can kind of bridge the division down into 2 fact is this the kind of political in the kind of public image of chile which i think is suffering anyway because it would have suffered hugely and also security as well i think that i think that the security situation here has been pretty desperate now for at least the week and it's showing no signs of basing whatsoever i think last night down on one of the main streets quite close to love when they are the presidential palace one of the human rights observers from human rights institute

was shot 7 times by kind of marble sized sort of bullets that the police used to. injure protesters so it does seem that the goalposts as moved somewhat and everybody seems to be being treated as a criminal at the moment it's quite frightening really but i think politically as well in terms of public image i think that the president really couldn't didn't really have any choice i think that if world leaders coming here and i think he mentioned she jinglin trudeau there were lots of kind of high profile leaders if anyone's kind of stuck a microphone under their noses while they were here and said what do you think of the situation i don't think it will go a particularly favorable arms in terms of what the government's looking for here and she did so i think in the end that wasn't really an option because. there wasn't really an option which which leads me to my next question which is this is the beginning of the end for president sebastian pinera and his government how tenable or untenable is his current political position and situation.

but it's a good question it's very difficult to answer i think i think that the moment the. movement from the opposition to hold a plebiscite on a new constitution it's kind of how we've managed to protest as most of the still all of that the more. this kind of requests for a new constitution there's no university put they don't even need 2 thirds of the senate. so it's a voice in favor which would mean getting a lot of the people from the chile about what's the ruling coalition on board in those to replace the constitution which states and they take the ship in chile it was sudden $1800.00 so there's a lot of kind of feelings towards that whether that would lead to some kind of some kind of impeachment i think again what the opposition of tried to bring forward some kind of motion is a more realistic motion being being brought against andres chadwick who's now the x. interior minister here a lot of the ira's been directed towards him and he remarkably absolved himself any political sponsibility in congress so i think that the terms of president pinera

i'm not sure that it's really likely that he's going to fall over the next 2 years over the next 2 years ok correspondent john bartlett to reporting from chile's capital santiago thank you the german government wants to get tougher on online hate speech the new proposals were drawn up after a spike in far right attacks including the murder of a politician in the attempt by a heavily armed man to storm a synagogue officials see a dangerous connection between violent ideas spread on the internet and violent acts carried out in real life. hate speech challenge around the world and across the web and one germany is taking seriously the country has reason to with officials pointing to one case out of many the murder of luka a local politician shot dead earlier this year allegedly for his pro immigrant stance by a suspect found to have far right links he's believed to have carried out the crime alone but officials blame the hate filled web platforms he was part of for giving

him the push to do so that they say makes online speech more dangerous than equivalent statements made in real life and under the cloud it carries a different weight depending on whether you are insulted at a bar well only you and maybe a few other people hate it or if it's online where everyone in the well tends it like that disobliging. the proposals agreed to by cabinet include giving authorities more power to control investigate and prosecute extremists online that would go beyond legislation passed in 2017 which compels internet companies to delete or block certain kinds of offensive content now they'd have to report it to german law enforcement politicians have been at odds for more than a year over how to tighten regulations the government has also been frequently criticized for downplaying the far right threat but they say far right violence like the new gun murder have given them a newfound awareness. i can't say it enough our eyes

are fully open. it's imperative we step up our efforts to confront far right terrorism and extremism and anti-semitism because we haven't viewed this in the same way as islamist terror and other things. now it's up to the buddhists to turn the proposal into law they'll have to figure out how to enforce new rules against multinational companies and finance expanded law enforcement oversight of online hate speach. now to some of the other stories making news around the world. a session of prime minister's questions has been held in the british parliament for the last time before parliament is suspended for the december 12th general election british prime minister boris johnson and opposition labor party leader jeremy corcoran clashed over brags it in public spending as they head into election campaign. facebook says it has suspended 3 networks of russian accounts that were

their camps saying the resignation of the prime minister failed one of their key demands but they made clear they were ready to return at a moment's notice is that the government if they asked us to open the roads after they fulfilled an essential and important demand that's a start and we are clearing the roads for a few days will so if they don't form a technocratic government as we are asking them we will move again and block the roads have no doubts about that is what we did today is only for the army and because we need to rest. kyrie resubmitted his resignation on choose day but could well return as the head of a technocratic government it would face the mammoth task of staving off economic collapse to keep thousands of protesters off the streets. perry's resignation has left a power vacuum in a complex sectarian system has a night's meant came after supporters of the shiite muslim group hezbollah attacked

the main protest camp in beirut. on wednesday hezbollah was back in iran apparently concerned that protests in both lebanon and iraq could undermine its influence in the region and. the people of iraq of hand lebannon would have some legitimate demands but they should know these demands can only be realized within the legal framework. i mean but foreign warnings are unlikely to deter the protesters here if they don't soon see the change they want they will be heading back to the streets. the public inquiry into the ground fell tower fire in london has set the emergency response had serious shortcomings 72 people died in the apartment block blaze more than 2 years ago today's report only covers the emergency response which the judge led inquiries he says had systematic failures and was gravely inadequate

people and people in courtrooms people in jail cells. you know people in print where it says what they're because. the inquiry has had about a catalogue of failings that led to the fire spreading uncontrollably such as fire lifts for the emergency services not working but also that the building itself did not comply with fire safety regulations and the criminal convictions that the residency is so desperately want to see are not expected any time soon they can only come out of a separate investigation that's being led by the police they inquire report criticizes the fire brigade for a series of bad decisions on the night of the fire with disastrous consequences but many people blame the local council they say complaints made before the fire were ignored and that they didn't feel safe. when the facts were neglected totally
