10:00 am
mountains revealed unparalleled beauty. ah, a special look at a special country loan from above. start september 16th on d, w. ah, ah, this is the w news live from berlin. terean's vote on a radically new constitution. sweeping global could support indigenous rights and universal health care. but an opposition campaign may stop it becoming reality. nasa next move mission is grounded for weeks. the out of us launch is called off
10:01 am
again. colace, a human command era may have caused a fuel lake. ah, i've been phys all and welcome to lindsey, heading to the ballot box today to vote on whether to approve a new constitution. it changes would include far reaching political and social reforms and more indigenous rights. but despite an overwhelming majority of to lands previously voting to rewrite the constitution, polls indicate that the no campaign is on track to wit. final scenes from the referendum campaign, these people are urging to lay hands to vote yes, really deliberately, for the environment, for children, for indigenous peoples, women's rights, and for a country to be more respectful of human rights for every one in the and i
10:02 am
am the new draft constitution recognizes indigenous peoples and offers them more autonomy. it would create universal service as for health care and education and pensions. and it would fully legalize abortion, which is now heavily restricted the present constitution dates back to the 1970s. when dictator algo sto, pin o'shea ruled, it was drawn up to be unabashedly pro business and market driven despite widespread dissatisfaction with the existing set of laws. many juliana seem to have cooled to the new replacement. experts say there's been a significant dis information campaign, but many people also fear market instability and worry about how to pay for new benefits. it doesn't look like that. so you, although no the crowd gathered here tonight represents many different people in our society who feel threatened by these new constitution. yes,
10:03 am
the no movement is white and it doesn't come from a specific political party or a political elite. you waiting at the moment to see if the new constitution fails at the ballot box. politicians may have a go at reforming it or there may be another constitutional convention to draw up a new new document. did you correspond benyamin, otherwise goober is to leon and is watching this very closely and you'll still to costco vogue. but tell me this would be a dramatic shift away from chiles dictatorial past. why the opposition, while the position for some of them who are against that they say that especially reforms when it comes to the political system in the additional system go to fall only to name one example, the new constitution. the proposed constitution would replace the senate and have another institution and they look at market it instability, they say who will pay for that, which is that in the report. so some of them are saying that it takes too much
10:04 am
effort on the indigenous population. so one of the important things of the social rights that we have are on the indigenous population eligibility cues on women, on environment for some of them goes too far. but is it's mandatory this voting today. so i will be careful with polls. there might be surprises as well. yeah. so there are groups in society who think that they'll be disadvantaged by this. there are also business interests involved as well other than interest as well. and that's with former chilean president retail that a little t w only a few days ago. there interests for people who have profited from the system from the current institution that you'd set dates back to the time of august to be naughty. a constitution of course, is not carved in stone, the app and several reforms during the several democratic governments that we had after that. but they have interest as well. and also if we look at the information that has been going on over the past weeks and months, it's pretty clear to see that to what has been going on over the past months as far
10:05 am
as information goes. what, what information is out there to ensure chileans do know what they're voting for or against today? i think that 2 important things to note on one side is if it's balanced the information and if we look at big media corporations speak outlets in chile, most of them belong to a certain economic group. so they who say, who have a lot of platform with people who go on television basically on a daily basis. ironically, many of them say they have been cancelled due to the political views. but they have a lot of platforms in a television in radio. when it comes to debate and they are accusing this m assembly, this constitutional assembly of note incorporating this conservative view. so we have on one side that and the other very, very big problem. we've seen, even before the 1st referendum we're a majority of tenants decided to have and you can students the problem of misinformation where a lot of misinformation on social media also by politicians who are adding there's
10:06 am
a big media corporations. and that, of course, is a really, really big problem to, to debate in general because it can be debated every norm of the 388 articles can be debated. but if it's misinformation, that's what happens if this is rejected today. so there is a clear path if it's approved there, transitional norms that are already in this constitution, this proposed constitution. so it's quite clear what will happen there if it's rejected. the chilling president, governor boy said that they should be a new assembly to follow the results of the 1st referendum, where 70 percent said, chile needs a new constitution. i'd say there's big political consensus that the need to be changes to the current one, but it's not quite clear if it will be congress. there will be leading this changes . they change the quorum already to make changes there. or if there will be a new, a conventional assembly to draft another proposal. will them be set to vote for children's a school? but thank you very much for coming in today. well,
10:07 am
movie gone and some bad news from nasa. it's continuing to struggle to get its ottomans rugged off the ground. it's cancelled a 2nd launch attempt. crowds gathered in florida hoping to watch the lift off on saturday. only to be disappointed. a large hydrogen leak was detected. the cause is unclear, but control is say, a command sent to a wrong valve may be to blame the almost 100 meter long rock. it has been sent back to the workshop. a 3rd attempt could be made late september, the earliest nasa administrator bill nelson says safety is the highest priority even though no astronauts were on board we do not launch until we think it's right and these teams have labored over that and that is the conclusion that they came to, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines for you as president, donald trump is branded his successor, joe biden. an enemy of the state. the president had called trump bent,
10:08 am
his support is afraid to democracy. speaking it around in pennsylvania, tremples condemned and f b. i raid on his home in florida. pakistan is calling all the international community to do more to help victims of devastating once in all floods. the government says 33000000 people are in need. many have lost their homes and lack food, clean water and medicine. more than a 3rd of the country is under water. the united nations nuclear watchdog says ukraine. separation facility has been cut off from its last external electricity supplies. europe's largest nuclear power plant is now relying only on a reserve power line controlled by the russian forces. the station is located near the front line in southern ukraine. a team of experts from the international atomic energy agency is monitoring the site which was damaged in the fighting. i spoke to paul norman, a professor of nuclear physics and nuclear energy at birmingham university. his,
10:09 am
his assessment of the situation at the plant it's certainly a slightly elevated cause for concern than we had previously. i still believe that the chance is of some sort of wide spreads nuclear incident of pretty small. but the issue with the power lines is that you require electrical power in order to provide cooling, to the react, that would be to stable for sort of meltdown type situation. and what we had is the, so you have the main power line switcher, and now you have a reserve power line which is where we are at the moment. and then you have back up diesel generators as your sort of last main option if you like. so obviously we've knocked out one of the 3. so i think, you know, that raises the level a little bit. so after the, the last stage, the back up there, there's nothing else or other, any other measures that are in place or protocols in case of
10:10 am
a meltdown. no, those are the main real back up mechanisms, you know, as long as most back up diesel generators working, they're typically quite a number of them. so you'd have to have all of them wiped out. they would have to be, well, they'd have to run out of fuel. so they have, you know, number of protective layers. also, you need to bear in mind that if you have that type of situation, there's not going to be a lot of power to send any of the radioactive material anywhere. so it would have to sort of mount through the reactor vessel and get 3 containing layers in order to get out to the surroundings. what other risks of nuclear power plants in general in war time? yeah, it depends very much on the type of reactor and those various sort of protective systems and physical parts of the system that it has in play. typically the sort of main type of reactors which is similar to the ones that were saying in
10:11 am
a preacher. they have very thick protective concrete layers. me to stake of concrete. and they have a steel pressure vessel which is sort of 2025 centimeters thick of steel. so the reactor itself is actually very well protected. it would be difficult to far on the reactor and damage it significantly. you could though have damage occurred to other parts of the site where radioactive material is cat. and as we say, you could have a loss of power to cooling systems. the cause is the reactor to overheat. if that happens though, you still have to have some sort of breach of these protective layers for things to get out to the environment. and as a se, one key thing i think there is that the system is likely to be a low power. so it's very different from the chernobyl, or turn a bill accident where the sort of poor design, the design of the reactor it was unstable, caused
10:12 am
a big explosion that then sent things, you know, very high up into the atmosphere. was a plume that was then sweat around larger parts of europe. so yeah, it's difficult to imagine a scenario quite like that at the moment. polo and thank you very much for putting this into perspective for us from birmingham university heading to a crowded beach. any time soon. chances are there will be a shock. not too far white shark sightings appear to becoming more frequent in borders around populated areas. but don't be alarmed. scientists have found humans are usually on their menu footage. that's likely to make many viewers feel uneasy to say the least. a huge hammer had shock right next. we're swimmer at miami beach, scientists who attract the ocean. predators have discovered that situations like this occur a lot more often than you might think. despite the noise and pollution shocks don't
10:13 am
seem to mind hanging out me a densely populated areas, we really thought they would because studies of life big land predators have found that you know, mall, and bears in kind of the big land. carnivores tend to avoid being around big cities, and that's not what we found at all. with the shots. in fact, we found the shark spending quite a lot of time close to what we called like urban areas that really close to the metropolis. miami. in the study in florida, 3 different species of shock were attacked with small transmitters that emit ultrasonic waves. the researchers then placed listening stations under water to monitor the creditors movements over several years. the data they collected confirms previous findings, which found that humans are not really on the shock menu. these shots were cruising up and down the coastline in the areas that, you know,
10:14 am
there are people that be in the ocean. and i think, although this might make you a bit nervous to me, it just proves the point that sharp, you know, really don't want to bite people. and that back sharks really tolerate people and tend to avoid them. the scientists say it's still unclear why the shocks were not infect repelled by the cities, given the high levels of noise light and air pollution, they produce. one theory is that the marine predators have grown used to urban centers over time. another is that they are drawn to the dead fish and pots thrown into the water by people fishing one way or another shocks a lot less interested in making a meal of us than you might think. lastly the fu fi his be it and the emotional farewell to the benz, former drama taylor hawkins saying that they've coal gave

a start started concert in london. ocwen's was found dead in a hotel room at the age of 50 musicians included the light from his teenage son in the tribute playing drums for the song, my hero. and off to the break documentary examines the $917.00 to munich olympics. i'm been puzzling. thanks for watching d w spot interest in the global economy. our portfolio g w business beyond here's a closer.
