Takes a vision in london thats making a point of highlighting the Environmental Impact of Climate Change. Well lets begin in south america where protests in several countries have crippled major cities bringing many of them to a standstill in chile protests initially began last month when students in santiago demonstrated against the subway fare increase since then demonstrations have grown with demands for political and economic reform in colombia a proposal to change the minimum wage as well as introduce possible pension tax reforms led to a strike and huge rallies in bogota and in bolivia protests were sparked by a disputed president ial election president evo morales denied an electoral fraud but eventually resigned under pressure from the military and fled to mexico his supporters have been protesting calling for his return.

Has more from santiago. Anger seems to be the common denominator among chilean protesters whove been on the streets for 5 weeks. But not all express that anger the same way some do it by going into the battle against riot police armed with stones sticks and even molotov cocktails they describe themselves as the front line of defense. Im here to defend our people against Police Repression thats who weve come to fight. The vast majority are young like one in peril not their real names. Its unfair that weve had to resort to these extremes to be heard we protested peacefully for years and only now that theres upheaval does the state take notice both are 17 year old students from a Public Secondary School who want to go to university but both of their parents are still struggling to pay off their own studies. My mother is 39. 00 and she still owes 9000. 00 its terrible its a case in water health all of a persons basic needs are a business here and thats why were so angry. They say the only use violence against Security Forces not to destroy property. But there is another type of protest or the kind that justifies for example the looting of this wholesale supermarket and not just routine but also other types of destruction and violence as a means to an end. According to the government. Women all gangs and drug traffickers are responsible for around 30 percent of the widespread damage to public and private property. But who are the rest many are young men and women from santiagos poor neighborhoods where anger has been simmering for decades. That are. Also not their real names describe themselves as radical opponents of chiles socially unequal system but. Its a system to make us the crumbs while the upper class accumulates more well all the anger there marginalization people look down on us because were on the periphery they distrust you no matter how hard you work or try your shot out. More and that might be a wanted to study architecture but instead says she was lucky just to get a job as a Security Guard in a posh uptown building now they say its time for the political and Economic Establishment to feel safe here but i guess i will need to be shaken from their comfort zone they better not think that i will just go and march down the street with signs and go back to sleep in our beds let them feel afraid to direct action before social change. They know they risk prison if theyre caught destroying property or attacking police but like a great many of those who vent their rage like this they seem convinced that as things stand now they have little to lose you see in human scent i will.

N. Headquarters in new york the u. N. Has long described yemen as the country with the worst humanitarian situation on earth at the regular Security Council meeting the 1st positive news for months. In the last 2 weeks the rage of that war has dramatically reduced there were reportedly almost 80 percent fewer strikes nationwide then in the 2 weeks prior and i realize these are short periods but nonetheless it is striking and in recent weeks there have been entire 48 hour periods without airstrikes at all the 1st time since the conflict began we call this the escalation reduction in the tempo of the war and perhaps we hope a move towards an overall cease from yemen.
