the center are right under right groups are hoping to to our i've seen fear of dis, left are gonna have a momentum and they probably want to have to status quo to, to thanks under sweetser, what a common down and day and dickens keep it in power. ok, so many motivations there. but the novel, why does she obviously wants to give into protesters? demands right. and one of the central demands is that they want to see her gone. why doesn't she just step down to think a she and her prime minister both federal law. they are probably in fear of prosecution because of the violent purpose repression on the streets. and because any that we have seen in the last week, so they already investigated was against them, both of them and they may be in fear of that. and this situation has been a long time coming, has an it has a lot to do with historic disenfranchisement people feeling led down by the political elite. is there anyone that could step up now and kind of steer the

country into a better direction that could solve this crisis? i think that's part of free treasury of peru now. no, i don't see. and at this moment, i bullied a politician, a rational one with the leadership, no authority to lead the road to or to a new election, and to come down to situation like we had and, and de crisis before. okay. 2 years ago, francisco sagacity. it's part of the tragedy of the crisis super ruined and did it last 20 years. that day, the congress has begun the political plaza become more and more radicalized at agency and the congress. now a figure that can do that exactly. it's got 50 w spanish. thank you so much. to new zealand now we're record rainfall is pounding the north island for a 3rd straight day trigger more flash floods and landslides. that po has risen to for auckland, the country's largest city. as the clear,
