People have been kills an antigovernment demonstrations. Are still there watching this youre an idiot get the hell out. A warning to thousands of people in california as strong winds fuel well fires burning in parts of the states threatening 80000 structures. And Boris Johnsons bed for an early election fails and parliament errors after the e. U. Granted the u. K. A 3 month breck said delay. The biggest demonstrations in a generation show no signs of the basing in chile thats despite president Sebastian Pinera replacing a 3rd off his cap and its in response to days old deadly protests 2500. 00 police being deployed. In the countrys capital santiago after Security Forces crushed a game with demonstrators and tens of thousands marched on monday the president spokeswoman has called for help from all sides condemning the violence and argued the small group of 7000 people dont represents the majority of chileans or latin america and the syrian human has this reports less than 24 hours after a state of emergency was lifted here in chile hundreds of thousands of people are back on the streets again in santiago the majority of them peaceful but these marches have been marred again by looting and by arson attacks in fact all of the country there have been demonstrations and clashes with Security Forces as people continue to demand social reforms this as new accusations of Human Rights Violations come to the surface. Theyre the biggest demonstrations in chile since the end of its military dictatorship 3 decades ago and like then the country is under the watch of human rights organizations. Theyre arriving in chile to investigate charges of Police Brutality. In front of Chile Supreme Court many protesters were black as a sign of mourning for those allegedly killed or seriously injured by soldiers and riot police during ongoing demonstrations they were looking for someone to be responsible. And theres been accusations to the president and to the. Minister of interior who has their hands with blood i was here with the university of chiles Human Rights Institute has received more than 600 complaints of abuse of force leading in some cases to blindness and Pacific Command were talking specifically about attacks against totally peaceful demonstrators whod been shot with rubber and mello pellets directly to the face and who have been gravely injured. Young people who are now permanently disabled. The list of demands on the street is expanding not just with calls for justice but also for the president to be held personally responsible for the alleged abuses of human rights this as president yet as struggles to find new ways to diffuse the ongoing political upheaval here. Just hours after lifting the state of emergency announced the biggest Cabinet Reshuffle of his presidency replacing 8 ministers including his cousin the interior minister who last week called protesters criminals. Is not the same country it was 2 weeks ago chile has changed and the government also has to change to confront the new challenges of the new times. But the large number of protesters still on the streets suggest she hasnt changed president says that of authorities have committed abuses theyll be investigated and punished. But neither the cabinet overhaul nor the lifting of the state of emergency is likely to return calm to chile where protesters are already organizing new mass demonstrations for the entire week thousands of residents are struggling to get home at this hour what they hoped would be the 1st day of a return to some relative calm here in the capital instead public transport or at least most of it has been canceled as running battles continue between some demonstrators and Security Forces. Well lets say with this and speak with peta c. Of ellis who is in Winston Salem North Carolina hes a director of the latin american and Latino Studies Program at Wake Forest University in the United States good to have you with us here on aljazeera 1st of all id like to get a sense of what you make of these protests chile is generally seen as a relatively stable country in the region why are we seeing this level of discontent well its great to be with you thank you for the invitation this this these protests and why theyve been reported this sort of protest over increases in transport costs thats really really superficial what these protests are really about 30 years of bottling up of social pressure against a lot of the injustices that take place within the context of chiles neoliberal system in the caribbean in the us at the gators so while im superficially it may appear that this is about subway fare increase or some people sort its really about unfairness in the educational system social provision system the Health System retirement system incredibly low minimum wage and increased and in print and transport costs and the sort of tone deaf reactions of the government are really just the straw that broke the camels back thats been very long in the making well the pinera government does seem to be proposing concessions certainly hes reshuffled his cabinet quite significantly. What will it take to resolve the situation because these kind of problems arent going to get resolved overnight but arguably the governments thinking a big step in and betting i had a 3rd of the cabinet. You know certainly these problems are not can be fixed overnight these are not made overnight they were made over the course of decades and the it seems to me that even though sebastian you get is the scapegoat for this is not all of his making but hes certainly become the target of it and i see at the very least its very difficult for chile to escape from this mission and his resignation. And protesters have also been raising concerns about the way the protests have been tackled certainly weve been hearing. Concerns about Police Brutality being raised would you say this is a significant turn of events. I think it is i mean i think whats very significant is sort of the discourse that emerged immediately following the protests and i came out you know to and members of his government came out and said that these people were bailing client base the linguists that they were terrorists that somehow they were they were that surely wasnt war itself this discourse directly from the same discourse used with respect to human rights abuses during the peterson dictatorship you know sent repeatedly said that skilling was quote at war with itself and that justified human rights abuse its a fundamentally different situation right now is that c. L. A. Is not she lived 173. 00 their social media theres people me taking photographs theres investigators theres a 30 year history of democracy and rule of law that will make it difficult for human rights abuses to take place without being investigated judged you mentioned there that you cant see a way out its of this without the resignation of some basim pinera if he does resign will not solve the problem and he would replace and. Well i think fundamentally the problem is theres a vacuum of leadership theres absolutely nobody on the left that can replace him you know the former president he said a bunch of that has emerged as a prominent actor in denouncing. Eventually human rights abuses she lay in could could represent a leadership position moving forward but her her 2 governments have been so tainted by having continue the policies of the interset government and comes to these neo liberal policies that were talking about so i see a very uncertain future for chile with uncertain leadership nobody emerging on the left but certainly a longer term process thats been involved some how rewriting shoeless social contract that has to do with a new constitution and new set of laws that govern the social policies of the country. See avilas will have to leave it there but its great to get your thoughts thanks very much for joining us here on the aljazeera news or thank you pleasure to be with you.

The u. S. House of representatives is set to vote this week on whether to formalize the impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump that would lay the groundwork for public hearings and outline how to handle evidence of a move this in response to complaints from trump and some republicans who say the process is illegitimate the president s is accused of withholding military aid to ukraine in order to pressure the government to investigate political rival joe bidens son or kristen sliman salumi rather is live for us in washington d. C. Chris so why the change of tactics here. Well this is been a main talking point for republicans that the house in korea is a sham because they have not taken a formal vote to hold an inquiry and fact last week a group of republican lawmakers stormed one of the hearing rooms where a witness was being interviewed giving testimony behind closed doors they made a big show of it saying that it was a sham because the public wasnt allowed to see even though there were republicans in the room since then a judge a federal judge has actually refuted that claim and said that the democrats in a link the judgment said that the democrats are well within their right to hold these hearings before a formal vote that this is been done in the past and theres no prohibition in the constitution whatsoever but the trumpet ministration is appealing that ruling and rather than. Go try to fight the Administration Every time they refused to send a witness to testify or every time they block a witness from testifying rather than fight in the courts which is a lengthy and drawn out process democrats appear to be trying to take away this objection of the republicans and. Trying to take away their excuse basically for not cooperating so. And courting to one of the democrats on the Judiciary Committee this tactic will basically allow them to just show every time that they refuse to cooperate that theyre obstructing justice and according to him could actually lead to another impeachment charge against the president so theyre trying to ratchet up the pressure by taking away this excuse for not cooperating chris the white house is cream experience is expected to testify to morrow what can we expect from the. Yes Lieutenant Colonel alexander been many hes a decorated army veteran and a ukraine expert on the National Security committee at the New York Times is reporting that theyve seen a copy of his prepared remarks and that he is someone who has registered complaints he registered to internal complaints because of concerns about what took place in the administration specifically on that call between President Trump and the president of the ukraine in which the president asked for an investigation into his political rival joe biden that was the call that started this impeachment inquiry the times is saying that he made these complaints out of a sense of duty and they are actually speculating that he is one of the 2 people who complained to the whistleblower who started this whole inquiry and started the complaint if thats true and this would be the 1st person actually on the call between president s alinsky and President Trump to testify before democrats so it could be significant could indeed spook forward to hearing about it once it happens but for now kristen slimmy in washington d. C. Thanks very much indeed.

Hello again welcome back to International Weather forecast for here across parts of china things are not looking too bad over the next few days the clouds that we have here on the satellite image are making their way towards the east and what going to be left with as we go towards tuesday is a lot more sunnier skies across much of the area down here towards hong kong we do expect to see a tempter of 26 degrees but for northern thailand as well as over towards men mark do expect to see those afternoon showers popping up and that is going to continue as we go towards wednesday going a little bit further to the south though we are watching a system developing here in the South China Sea it is pulling away from the philippines here the clouds right here fairly disorganized but by the time we get towards tuesday we do expect the system to really start to intensify as it makes its way towards the west and by the time we get towards wednesday vietnam well start to see the effects of the storm now we dont expect to see a landfall until probably thursday but in terms of the rain it could be anywhere between 150. 25 millimeters of rain and flash flooding is going to be a major issue by the time we get towards the end of the week over here towards parts of india though we suspect you see much in terms of haze up here towards the north but down towards the south we are going to see some very heavy rain across much of Southern India and tonight it is going to be a rainy day for you at 31. 00 in the gloom at 27. 00 degrees there.

One of the really special things about working for aljazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know its very challenging liberally particularly because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are with the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended used to deliver indepth journalism we dont feel inferior to the audience across the globe. This is aljazeera quite mind off the top stories for you know Security Forces in chile have been clashing with protesters once again as tens of thousands marched in the capital despite the president s decision to replace a 3rd office camp and its in response to the answer government demonstrations. Iraqis are defying a military imposed curfew in the capital to continue their antigovernment protests at least 4 people were killed on monday protest is a calling for economic and political change. And the u. S. House of representatives holds its 1st formal thoughts on the impeachment inquiry into president or trump on thursday will affirm the process and lay the groundwork on how to handle evidence. Now the u. K. Parliament has rejected a proposal by the Prime Minister for an early general election on december the 12th when paul the e. U. Has agrees on another bracks extension until the end of january john holl reports from westminster. Because the majority required has not been reached the news have it for a 3rd time in recent months Boris Johnsons attempt to secure a snap general election was rebuffed by parliament with the Opposition Labor Party abstaining the Prime Minister wasted no time in and saying hes plan b. We will not allow this promises to continue one way or another we must proceed straight to an election this house cannot any longer keep this country hostage millions of families and businesses cannot plan for the future labor leader Jeremy Corbyn arrived in the chamber after the vote to respond i understand the bill will be table tomorrow we will obviously look in scrutinize that bill and we look forward to a clear definitive decision that no deal is absolutely off the table and there is no danger of this Prime Minister not sticking to his word the proposed legislation expected to be tabled on tuesday is a socalled one line bill amending the fixed Term Parliaments act it would stipulate that an election will take place on a certain date the 12th of december says the Prime Minister and it requires just a simple majority of one vote to pass rather than the 2 thirds majority needed under the current law which would appear to offer a better chance of success after all the liberal democrats and the Scottish National party have earlier announced a very similar plan they want an election on the 9th of december we are just focusing on getting a general election wed have to do that with a bill to change the fixed Term Parliament act which could happen this week triggering the election perhaps at the end of this week and then the election day taking place on the 9th of december little difference between the 9th and the 12th of december you might think but the earlier date could tails the go. Of much ability to push through it breaks it deal and allow students to vote before the end of the winter semester a crucial difference possibly then for opposition support. All that is certain now is the bricks it will not happen as johnson promised on october the 31st the Prime Minister has formally accepted the e. U. s offer of a 3 month extension with the possibility to come out sooner if Parliament Ratifies a deal this parliament or a new parliament will depend on whether and when Boris Johnson gets the election he craves joho aljazeera london.
