pakistan's humanitarian crisis claims more lives, often devastating flooding. charities, urge the government to lift a ban on international and just to let them help close to that. no one else could make you smile or laugh or dance. the supervisor paid tribute to the late drama taylor hawkins at the start started concert in london. ah, i'm really mohammed welcome to the program to lands are voting on whether to approve a new constitution which would give more rights to women. indigenous people and the working class majority of to lands previously voted to replace the existing constitution. the polls indicate they may reject the proposed text. all adults

citizens are legally obliged to vote. ah president gabriela bar. it costs his ballot. she lays voting on a new constitution to replace its dictatorship era's system set up 5 decades ago. he gained the indian regardless of what the result is. the role that i'm going to play as president of the republic with our government together with all of you, is we're going to commit ourselves to come together as a country to advance and justice equality and greater growth and development for all that in my your, this are all you can see me about a boy every to lay an aged over 18 must vote support as the hoping to move the country away from its conservative past. you know them are highly falconer, i hope that we get estate. the benefit of us all. oh, to lions, better pensions, better health care, and all the new draft constitution recognizes indigenous peoples and offers them more autonomy. it would create universal services for health care and education.

and it would fully legalized abortion, which is now heavily restricted. the present constitution dates back to the 1970s when dictator or gusto penis shay ruled. it was drawn up to be unabashedly pro business and market driven. despite widespread dissatisfaction with the existing set of laws, many to layin seem to have cooled to the new replacement expert say there has been a significant disinformation campaign, but some also fear market instability as well as worries about how to pay for new benefits. it doesn't look just like i'll vote to reject it because today's rejection movement represents, as you can see in this place, many different movements and organizations of the citizenry. the vote no movement cuts across the side, but it does not belong to any political party or to

a political elite, as many have said. will you be good to know 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. while at the japanese your hand, ramirez is monitoring the story in santiago, so just bring us up to speed on how the voting has been going. your hands the voting is taking place in total normality here in the city of santiago, i have been going around the city visiting some ball station that i have seen. many people are making long lines awaiting to vote, and that's also the report i have gotten from other cities here in schiller, that's remembered that voting today is mandatory. so people, if they don't go to vote or they can get fines up to $200.00, the equivalent to some $200.00,

a lot of money. so some $15000000.00 people are expected to vote to day in total normality, all across the country. and while there's a new constitution is regarded as a more progressive and inclusive, there is also opposition to this draft text is explained to us. why that is it is a more progressive constitution. first and foremost, it was drafted ah, based on gender equality, the assembly who drafted the constitution was composed 50 percent per cent. for man, i'm 50 percent. ah women, that's something that has never happened in the war actually. so that's in terms of the quality they see brittney beek progress. so it gives also, rights to nature about some people who oppose to didn't this new constitution say that it is not clear. yes, not explained how this rights to nature are going to to be bought into practice. it also gives our rights to indigenous people. the new constitutional recognizes at

least son, 11 a nationality is. indigenous people ask nationally just given them the rights, the right to govern themselves, to own their own lance and even to have their own justice systems. people who oppose to the new constitution say that this is a loss off for sovereignty for sheila and that they even warned that he could even lead it through the disintegration of sheila as a country. how much information is alberto ensure that chileans know what they are voting for some people on the well informed yesterday i was talking to many people in districts of santiago. and many young people told me that they, they were not even sure about what to vote on. many people are not well informed that had been let us be missing. formation of fake news during this campaign has been a very dirty campaign. but as i said, voting is mandatory, so people are obligated for us to vote today. ah, official results are expected to be announced around our $738.00 p. m local time.

so that's going to be there, the crucial moment for the country. and finally, what happens if this is rejected? it is not clear, there is not a mechanism steve sierra to establish what should happen because now many people were expecting some months ago or when this process began. now, many people were expecting that the new constitution would be rejected, but there is also already a kind of an accord idea between political parties and the government. that if the nickel stations reject it, they will begin a new process, a new cost it to $1.00 to process, to draft a new constitution. because what it was approved back in 20, 20 october 2020. was that people chinney as a wanting new constitution? they don't want to continue leaving under the constitution of the eighty's, there was drafted to under 83rd shape. so if it is rejected, there is an accord between the parties and the government that the process will go

on. that is, that directly is johann ramirez in santiago. thank you so much. now, to park a san where the death toll continues to rise after devastating floods. authorities report at least another 50 deaths in sind province. and more than 1200 people have died in the past weeks. a 3rd of pakistan has been effected by the flooding. there are now concerns that the country is weak crop could be wiped out affecting food supply. officials say the record monsoon reins and melting glasses are being caused by climate change. pakistan has appealed for more international aid and the country's largest charity. the eddie foundation has urged the government to reverse a ban on international and yours to allow them to help. the evidence of former lives lie scattered throughout this vast rural area. now under water. these used to
