this new job to help make ends meet i used. to write i feel you. know like most of the dying but now i don't have money to pay for. fernandez and her partner ignazio have a son ignazio a musician now gives lessons online but their household income doesn't suffice to pay all the bills like many chileans they're worried about the future. last year thousands in chile took to the streets to protest against injustice and poverty. their anger has returned now that the pandemic has made the crisis even worse. when you leave the fear of seeing one's family members die or loved ones die the fear of one's own death this has given way to the fear of hunger and insecurity.

the government is searching for solutions president sebastian pinera has announced a comprehensive aid program the poorest 2 and a half 1000000 families will soon receive food but members of chile's middle class like fernand and of our own feel left out and the corona virus has not stopped spreading in chile. now for more i'm joined by john bartlett a correspondent in santiago chile john it's good to have you on the program now as we heard there are food aid is being prepared for the hardest hit families but is it enough to stave off the economic fallout from the pandemic. yes thank you for having me on i think it's very difficult question to answer i think the very early days the party going to go in terms of the actual you know that the handing out of the food. it went to 32 districts i think today in santiago it's going to be going to go around over the weekend in the capital and then over the next week we're

going to be going to see food given to people across the country i think it's very difficult to know what the economic consequence of all this is going to be obviously were on the back of it just by the 7 months of social process and the tensions that both groups are very much oversold so it's been very difficult and i think we saw some footage there at the protests so i'm. in santiago and over this. now let's stay with the protests there just for a minute it we've seen these violent protests returned to chile in recent days is that likely to continue given how quickly the virus is spreading there. think it's a very dangerous precedent when anything i think we've seen that despite circumstances people willing to go out still have cause to go. and they should never really been the case i don't think people felt the need to going to the coast that is a column's the streets and risks that are in their own safety without enough

without sufficient aid from the. relatively quickly the government really really steps up the the 8 the aid program and financial aid which is fairly modest at the moment. and the food aid as well but i think the protest movement is we've seen over the last week it's very much there were people taken the. protest indoors for now there's been a lot of online conversation going on a lot of these kind of online meetings with people being kind of discussing the problems and what they want to see from the chile the protest movement is being isolated little bit and now that we've got the constitutional referendum coming up in 25th of october this year which was delayed for from last month originally so i think everything's going to ramp up again. to start. with all this and. you know just briefly if you could is the country's medical system prepared to deal with an outbreak of this size. in a word no i think it's very difficult to see how the health system is going to be

going to deal with this we've already got i think the latest i saw was 93 percent of the intensive care beds ventilates is nationwide to reduce at the moment already so that some see quite a quite troubling statistic to. have to see if you know it works but not when all the peak of the of the. by any stretch i think would be the disparities between the capacity in the regions outside of the company in the countryside and also with the indigenous population in chile as well we're seeing that the pandemic if anything is exacerbating and failing again with the inequalities that brought millions of people into the streets so i think it's difficult to see this it's difficult to see this. going well over 'd the next couple of weeks as we reach the peak but i think we're already starting to see a situation where the government transposing patients out of santiago whether they be 80 percent of the cases being treated in other cities but this capacity at least

for now so that's the that's the water all right some sobering information john bartlett covering the story from us for us right now rather in chile thank you for that. a passenger jet carrying the early 100 people has crashed in a busy neighborhood in pakistan's biggest city. there are 2 confirmed survivors with everybody else on board feared dead. also killed on the ground among the victims are whole families who were traveling home together for the holiday it's thought engine failure may have caused the crash. smoke rises from a dense neighborhood outside karate residents heard an explosion and felt the impact of a crash soon word spread a passenger plane had gone down among shops schools and houses. i saw lots of smoke in the sky from the rooftop of my house so i ran toward the
