after the fall of the berlin november 9th 2 w. . this is the w. news live from berlin the days of unrest forced chile to pull out of hosting major of global summits chile's president still struggling with massive protests says the comp 25 climate summit and apec trate summit will no longer take place in this country also coming up as russia remembers the victims of the stalinist purges 80

years ago we meet a man who has unearthed in mastering his backyard. plus a hero's welcome for a record breaking climber after he conquered the world or team highest mountains in just 6 months. on call assman welcome to the program has called off 2 major international summits it's a new setback for embattled president sebastian pinera who says he needs to focus on restoring call amid days of mass protests at least 18 people have died in the end rest now in new venues will need to be found for the cop $25.00 climate summit and the apec trade meeting which was scheduled to bring together world leaders including u.s. president donald trump and china's teaching paying. days

chile's capital santiago has resembled a war zone. protesters throwing rocks and stones at police. they responding in kind with water cannon. tear gas and moral. it's against this backdrop that shelly's in battle president has taken a decision he must regret. to cancel hosting not one but 2 upcoming international summits send the most 11 profile we deeply lament the problems and the inconvenience that this decision will have on apec as well as for the cup 25 summit. that all of us the as president of all chileans have to always put the problems and interests of the

chileans their necessity to spend their hopes 1st. the middles beloved. president pinera has already replaced a 3rd of his cabinet in his latest attempt to quell the unrest. but surely in this continue to take to the streets. up to a 1000000 marching against inequality poor public services and a struggling economy. few are bothered by the decision not to host either the apec summit in november or the un climate meeting a month later. reverend wright yes it's true these kinds of summits bring some benefits but as long as there are no laws or a new constitution to distribute those benefits it's fine to counsel them you know buy from magazines. and so the mass protests go on as chileans demand what they

see as a brighter and fairer a future. what's her designs are going to others for correspondent john bartlett has been tracking those protests now john is of course are 2 high profile events i mean do we know what exactly led to this cancellation we were hearing just days ago that the president said they were going to have. yeah i think just to break that down i think the person saying that these were going to go ahead was the only thing you really could say i think not going to call both here and internationally as well but i think that she's never really seen this process going to go to scale that they did. stood up now i think the only really one of which was to come. it's a huge shame. i mean chile has been working and people been working for a year to get this to get this event so it's it i think in terms of security i

think it was almost almost impossible for him to kind of i think he probably could have guaranteed the security people but it's just not worth the risk and i think the other thing is the terms of public relations the public image of chile it would have been an absolute nightmare to have people and world leaders and their own 2 russians coming to chile and seeing what it was like on the ground and you know giving interviews and saying saying what they've been saying i don't think i've been particularly favorable so i think from both points of view i think that we pretty much had to pull out it's a question let's talk about these these events now briefly i mean the cop 25 climate conference is just over a month away the apec meetings were supposed to be in just a few weeks do we know anything about what happens now with these 2 conference conferences there must be a lot of things up in the air. yes i think saying to take a pic 1st i think that was it's looking like they're going to try to find a replacement venue in a couple weeks away it's going to be difficult the cult i think is a slightly different matter i mean that takes a huge amount of organization cost to recruit on the front runners to replace

brazil when they pulled out with a person not being sick in favor of the climate talks. because the course we see heidi chile took on that burden and like i say it's been a year of preparation been a lot of a lot of work is going into this so i think it's a great shame but it seems like chile is going to find some kind of replacement venue for now so it seems like at the moment but what we know about that is not very much and it could even be pushed into next year and president pena he's already replaced a 3rd of his cabinet as we heard but the lands they are still on the streets i mean what can he do in his government do to try to survive this yeah i think it's difficult i don't think that him being deposed as a sort of democratically elected president is really really a really viable course of action i think that you still got 2 years left to run in his in his term he's been in power for just over 2 years now so it's definitely a step and interesting i don't know what he can really do apart from propose some

more kind of fundamental reforms and i think other than a kind of superficial cabinet reshuffle which is a we've seen so far so i think there are death in the options available to him but it's going to be difficult to see him kind of getting out of this with anything other than you know kind of incredibly low popularity ratings which is why he's got the moment in the meantime those meetings up in the air as well correspondent john bartlett and she lays temple santiago thank you very much thank you. all right now let's get you caught up on some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. department of defense has released the 1st video of the operation that killed the chief. it shows us special forces storming into his compound in northern syria and its subsequent destruction baghdadi family members and loyalists were reportedly killed in the special forces raid them. twitter has announced a ban on all political advertising beginning of ember 22nd the company said that
