Country are not going away. Is latin americas most developed nation but over the past week protests have highlighted a growing anger among the citizenry. The unrest began over an increase of 30 to the cost of Metro Transport which amounts to about 0. 10 of a dollar. That cost increase was like a spark to a powder keg in a country where many were already complaining about a worsening wealth gap between the rich and the middle class because. Say a solution out of the crisis will require a delicate compromise from the countrys political elite and the perception is that she is not in a crisis genus in the vehicle situation but we are developed enough for everyone to have Better Living conditions so its a matter of these tributes should if we can better these tributes their wealth and the opportunities that exist in chile everyone is going to. Ill be better off. After a week of unrest demonstrations and cheetah have spread to other parts of the country a recent National Poll found that 83 percent of chileans are in favor of the ongoing social mobilizations even in sheilas smallest communities far away from the protests that have paralyzed the countrys capital the discontent from citizens is palpable for everyday chileans the crisis isnt about an increase of 30 pasos to the cost of Public Transportation its about 30 years of policies that many see as being bad for the nation. Fishermen like who say they hope political leaders will act on the demands of demonstrators before their quiet seaside town joins in the protests when read about. Now vietnamese people smuggled into the u. K. May have been among the 39 people found dead in a container truck on wednesday only a report said they were all chinese the container arrived in essex on a ferry from Belgium Police are continuing to question 4 people including a truck driver from Northern Ireland who was arrested on suspicion of murder well lets get more on this now were joined by joanna james executive director of freedom united thats an anti slavery activist organization and shes joining us live from london very good to have you with us on aljazeera so weve heard from weve heard from the british Prime Minister as soon as we heard news about this container truck and promise that johnson called it an unimaginable tragedy but from what we know about you know the possible identity of the victims the village that they took i mean this is not an uncommon exercise as it. Absolutely no its not my sympathies are very much with the families and of course im not going to speculate about this case as you mentioned the information still emerging but it is not uncommon for many in my own work and freedom united we are aware of many cases all around the world of people who are trafficked. And we dont know of course in this case if it is exactly the circumstances but certainly the action of moving across borders happen now those people me because. They are not able to take legal migration really the question of trafficking is about exploitation and what happens to those people at the end sometimes people may be looking for ways to cross borders that actually unexpectedly lead them into a situation where theyre exploited and the question we want to ask ourselves is why is this happening and. The. The reality is that in a world where immigration routes are increasingly closed down it creates a market for an illegal economy the stakes are raised hired charges can be made of people have to pay higher costs and that means raising the stakes and increasing the risks and these are risks that people are taking because they are pushed into it by a system so what can we do to solve this so well i think the minister of journalists just wants to cling on and on that knowledge because the talk so far again from Prime Minister johnson others in the past has been about cracking down on people smugglers but do you think that incidents like this i mean again this isnt the 1st there was a terrible incident in 2015 in austria hungary where at least 80 people were found dead. Do they can they get governments to actually look at their immigration policies that might be driving off in the judgment Asylum Seekers to illegal measures. The really pertinent question of course we know the process the from the Law Enforcement 5 prosecutions are low when it comes to. Smuggling as well as trafficking for truck in cases of trafficking we dont see many cases because it is a difficult difficult to enforce but even if we were to have success in creating a deterrent through affective up occasions of laws we have to also remember the wider context of what some of those drivers are that many in fact be making those law undermining both Law Enforcement efforts so yes lead. Migration is without doubt one part of the solution but i would also look really widely and say why is it about people a lot able to realize their potential d our hope and what is it that really pushes into situations where they had to take a risk just to look for a decent life as you had giants with james rather we thank you very much for your time on this we do appreciate it that is joanna james live in london thank you.
