As morore protesesters have been lled with clashehes with security forces. Ringng of fire bushfires will get even worse in australia as people rushed to get out of their homomes. Brazils former president has walked out of prison after 19 he was surrounded and cheered by his supporters. Earlier, a judge ordered his release after brazils top court ruled to end mandatory jail time for convicted criminals have lost their first appeal. He was sentenced to more than 12 years in jail last year ahead of president ial elections. More on this story through the hour. In chile, police or firing tear gas and Water Cannons at protesters who are throwing rocks in response. This was the scene in the capitol one hour ago. Demonstrations began over a hike in fares, but spiral into widespread anger across Government Economic policies. More than 20 people have been killed, nearly 2000 others injured in violence over the past few weeks. Our latin america editor is live in the capitol. Give us the sense of what you are seeing and how much momentum there is around these protests. Momentum. A lot of we saw tens of thousands of peaceful demonstrators converging in midtown santiago almost as a response to the president s call for tightened security measures to confront increasing vandalism and delinquency, what the president called organized crime. A few seconds ago, some masked people set up a barricade. You may see the flames behind me. The most serious thing that has happened is while tens of thousands of Peaceful Protesters were calling for social reforms on the periphery of the enormous protest, there have been fires and a University Building was set on fire where some of these people are coming towards us now. Are fighting with other citizens that are telling them not to be causing the damage. I dont know if my cameraman can zoom in on that. Was set on fire. A very old building, a mansion considered part of chiles cultural heritage. Completely destroyed dozens of fire trucks. It just went up in flames. Theres been a lot of looting, damage, and conflict. Some of the peaceful demonstrators were trying to help the firemen put out the fires and confront the more violent protesters to no avail. Really interesting, you see people arguing amongst each other. Some of the Peaceful Protesters tried to help put out the fire. One of the interesting aspects is they have effectively been leaderless. Give us a sense of the tension between those carrying out the violence and those wanting to protest peacefully, and the sense of unity you picked up among the protesters. Thats a very interesting point. Clearly there are people who dont believe in violence, and those who believe violence is the only way to get the attention of the countrys leaders. Then there are people on the fringe expressing their anger. They havent really articulated a political slogan. This has turned out to be an opportunity for them to vent decades of frustration and feeling on the fringes of society. It is a mixed bag. There are no leaders. The vast majority of chileans, some who tried to stop these people, clearly unsuccessfully, because some were very violent indeed, are trying to articulate a plan moving forward to tovince the government renew, recover, or scrap the constitution to pass legislation that addresses their demands. That is happening, but not fast enough to keep people off of the street. Thank you for that, bringing us the latest from santiago. Moving to iraq, where protests have continued. Anrockets landed close to army base south of the city. The base also houses american troops, which are part of the u. S. Led coalition holding helping Iraqi Forces Battle remnants of isil.

The top cleric has called for calm. We have more from baghdad. Reporter for ahmad, on this day at this hour, the music must be mournful. Sitting among fellow protesters, he plays his clarinet in tribute to the hundreds killed since antigovernment demonstrations began in early october. He says this is the best way to convey his feelings. My house is on fire when i play the sad music, because i remember they all have a mother waiting for them at home. They gave their selves for us, they sacrificed their souls for this country. Reporter here in and around baghdads square, a Cross Section of society, in every direction, a span of generations. The elderly taking great enjoyment in teaching the young the importance of this moment. What you see here more than anything else is resolve. Protesters are committed to coming out day after day. Demonstrators are determined to effect change, to ensure a Better Future for iraq. The scale of these demonstrations is unprecedented. The move in some areas positively joyful. Activists tell us the movement couldnt be more serious. They believe things are far different this time. Protests, it has been limited to the youth, but with these protests, after our youth were killed, we felt the need for all of us to come out. Women, men, elderly people, the young, and children have come out. Now Everyone Wants change. Reporter many out here also lend a helping hand. Some giveaway tea, while others distribute flyers advising protesters how to stay safe. If we dont ask for it, no one will give it. Reporter whether or not government officials understand the magnitude of these protests makes no difference. They say protesters will not be deterred. We are telling them we have been robbed by them, and they say to continue our lives and everything will be over. It will not be over. Many of our friends and families are dying here. This will not be over until we have our rights. Reporter here and now, they are raising their voices like never before. Some scenes, like the one put on by this street theater group, are showcasing iraqs plight. In the country believed by regional and international allies, fighting hard to stand on its own two feet, a happy ending for the assembled crowd hopes one day the outcome will be more than just fantasy. Spokesman for grand total avoidurged them to using Excessive Force against protesters. The peacefulness of the protests in their various forms should be paid great attention. The biggest is on the security forces. They must avoid Excessive Force on Peaceful Protesters. Back to our top story. The release of brazils former president from jail. Lets look at the case against him. He was jailed for corruption and Money Laundering after it was revealed he accepted a beachfront apartment from a Construction Company in return for a lucrative government contract. His case was linked to the carwash scandal. That implicated the state Oil Company Petrobras and many businessmen and politicians across latin america. Case againstthe him was politically motivated and has appeals pending in both of brazils top courts. Theist leaders served as president between 2003 and 2010. He was picked to win last years election, but was barred after his conviction and imprisonment. Councilfrom the Latin American Center joins us from washington, d. C. It is nice to have you with us. Lets go to the circumstances that sees da silva released. Why has the court changed its judgment in this case . Thank you for having me. Is a decision made by the Supreme Court of brazil, this has been a conversation and decision in the making since 2016. This is not new, and definitely not unilateral towards him. It doeaffect many others. There are many thousands who may be realized in these released in these same circumstances. Many of them, including politicians, but also people being convicted by other crimes, as well. The focus is on this silver as the former leader de silva as the former leader. We saw pictures of him emerging from prison being greeted by his supporters with a fist in the air. How do you think people from brazil will respond to da silvas release . He is still a popular figure. He is a very popular figure. He is very popular among his supporters. The most popular president , especially from the left. His supporters are still very much engaged with him and see him a central figure for the left. He is definitely someone bringing a changing point to the left in brazil. His brings supporters from side, but also some people that support bolsonaro or the right, and have not seen this move as much of a positive move towards the Anti Corruption movement in brazil. Before he was barred from contesting the election, he was favorite to win the election. Bolsonaro ultimately was victorious. De silva cant participate politically until he overcomes those challenges through the convictions, but what does this do for the tension inside the country, given we have also seen bolsonaros own popularity plummeting . That is correct, we have seen his popularity fall. An inflection is point for the left in brazil. Asy will take the release this momentum to unify themselves in this fight they have for social causes and inequality in brazil. Hink this is also a year he is not going to be able to engage in politics, not going to be able to be a politician himself again or run for anything political, but he will be a vocal voice. And he doesnt have to, he can become a vocal voice and speak ahead for others to rally behind. Definitely he seems to be, based on what we saw after his release in his speech with his supporters and constituents, that he is going to become that spokesperson for the left and the figurehead for the Left Movement in brazil. Thank you so much. Valentina joining us from washington, d. C. We are going to go to teresa bo in sao paulo. Its been a short time since he was released, but what are we picking up to the release, as far as peoples reactions . It depends who you ask. Everyone is polarized in brazil. They have different types of opinions. Many people we spoke with were moved with da silva coming out of prison with his fist up as a sign of victory. He was surrounded by thousands of people when he came out of the prison. They were carrying banners saying he is innocent, they were , which lula libre means he needs to be free. He says they are the voice of democracy. He challenged the court, the judiciary, the federal police. He said while he was in prison, he had a chance to fall in love and ask his girlfriend to marry him. There was a lot of hope among those surrounding the former president. As there is happiness in one side, there is sadness on the other. Many people we have spoken with, this is a place where some of the largest demonstrations during the carwash investigation, where thousands took to the streets to denounce what happened. Many people we have spoken to, and many are from the working class, they were telling us they are angry, that its a bad example, and he should have remained in prison. Remind us of a couple of things. One, the circumstances that put him into prison, and those bribery charges and convictions, and the legal situation he finds himself in with those appeals are still pending. He was sentenced last year to almost and nine years in prison in what was supposed to be an investigation where we saw a dozens of politicians and businessmen being detained because of kickbacks and bribes between petro gas, private companies, among others. Lula was part of the investigation. He was investigating for receiving an apartment, something he has consistently denied. The man that put him behind bars, he is currently the Justice Minister of bolsonaro. He is being severely question, especially in the past month, when some recordings came out that in a way show he pressured or collaborated with the prosecutors to put him behind bars. Thats what is crucial in this case. Asking forlula is this whole process against him to be canceled. We know he has not been declared innocent. He was freed because of this change in the law and the Supreme Courts decision, but the case against him continues. This is not the only one, but what happened at the Supreme Court last thursday changed many things in brazil. It is not only lula that will leave prison. Theres others that can do so. The fight against the Justice System in brazil is not over. What is interesting is when he left prison, his political opponents were hoping to see him weak. He showed something completely different. He showed he is willing to fight back, and he said hes willing to fight what he says was the persecution of the left in brazil. Thank you for that. Plenty more head on the news, including more street battles between police and protesters after a vigil for a 22yearold hong kong student. The indiantown waits for a Court Verdict on a controversial piece of land held sacred by the hindus and muslims. In sports, one of the two men who tried to attack a pair of arsenal football leaders is sentenced to jail. A lawyer for the u. S. Former National Security advisor wrote a letter that suggested john bolton would have a lot to reveal if he is compelled to testify. He says bolton is familiar with relevant meetings and conversations with ukraine. The house impeachment inquiry centers around whether Financial Aid to kyiv was held to encourage leaders to investigate joe biden. Andy gallagher is live in washington, d. C. To tell us more. If john bolton indeed testifies. He wants to leave that up to a court to make the ruling. Therter john bolton, former National Security advisor, was supposed to turn up on thursday. He was a noshow. That was no surprise, the democrats expected that. His lawyers say its up to a judge whether he does appear before the impeachment proceedings. This is tantalizing stuff in this letter from his lawyer, saying he essentially has personal information. This is someone who met with the president on a daily basis about relative meetings and discussions that have not yet been heard or discussed in these impeachment inquiries. They are dangling a very big caret a very big stick. We dont know if john bolton will turn up or when this legal process, and a judge will actually decide, will happen. We know from other reports and testimony that john bolton was set to be exasperated with these alleged attempts of the Trump Administration to withhold military aid and return for dirt on a political rival. It is reported john bolton said at one point that rudy giuliani, the president s personal lawyer accused of running a foreign shadow policy, was a hand grenade that would take everybody down. Clearly john bolton would be an important witness in these proceedings. It is not yet clear whether he will appear, whether a judge will hear the case. Most people are looking forward to wednesday, when we get the first public open investigations, one for the first time, americans will see key people with firsthand knowledge of the phone call to the ukrainian president live on television. Nonetheless, potentially an important development. A lot of policies being played around. Donald trump says it is conspiracy, an attempt by the democrats to get him out of office. At the same time, the house could have subpoenaed john bolton, but decided not to, why . Theres a lot of moving parts. They can do subpoenas, or they can ask people from the Trump Administration to turn up. I think at the moment, democrats are focused on three very strong testimonies that will be seen in public on wednesday through the rest of next week. They essentially know the people like john bolton wont turn up, and even with a subpoena, it may not turn up. Those are the political games being played here. Democrats are trying to stay focused on the message, keep it simple for the american public, and accuse the president of saying do me a favor, investigate my political rival, and i will give you military aid. They are trying to keep it as simple as possible. The storyline is far less complicated than the mueller russia inquiry, which went on for two years and was very hard to swallow. They are trying to stay on point and focus on next weeks open hearings, public inquiries, people talking about it for with firsthand knowledge live on camera. They dont want to get involved in the legal processes of getting people into these impeachment hearings. They are focused on what will happen in washington, d. C. In the next few days. Thank you so much for that. The acting white house chief of staff has defied a subpoena ordering him to testify. Kimberly halkett has more. The whole thing is a scam. Reporter as donald trump continues to attack the impeachment investigation, another witness has refused to show up. Acting white house chief of staff Mick Mulvaney is the latest in a string of white house officials to defy requests by democrats to testify in the congressional impeachment inquiry. Get over it. Reporter democrats want to talk to mulvaney about statements he made last month. He told reporters trump liberally held up military aid to ukraine to pressure it to investigate trumps political rival. Former Vice President joe biden. We do that all the time with foreign policy. Reporter he later walked back the statements, and democrats want to know why. Mullaney was one of 13 witnesses scheduled to testify in closed door hearings this past week. Just 2 showed up. As Congress Moves toward the public phase of its investigation to begin next wednesday, trump says hes opposed to the hearings. They shouldnt be having public hearings. That contradicts republican members of congress, who stormed a closeddoor session recently protesting the private hearings and have asked for more openness. Trump abusedege president ial power when he spoke in july with ukraines leader. A call prompted whistleblower complaint. Trump released a transcript of the call he says shows no wrongdoing. He is considering releasing a second transcript of another call with the ukrainian president back in april. I had a call, im sure it was fine. I make a lot of calls. I have no problem releasing it. Democrats alleged the opposite. Theres a lot of evidence of the president committed impeachable offenses, but we have to give a fair hearing, trying be open minded. Reporter next week, the world will hear publicly from key witnesses in this investigation. One of them has confirmed privately what donald trump has denied, that trump tied ukraine aid into an investigation into joe biden. Kimberly halkett, al jazeera.

The event became a memorial as his colleagues pay tribute to the 22yearold. I think it is a very crazed day. A lot of hong kong people not just members, i have a mental preparation for this. When it comes to this, it hurts a lot. Reporter this can be the first death as a direct result of the confrontations between police and protesters in hong kong. The Antigovernment Movement blames the police for the injuries, which occurred when teargas was fired on students during a dispersal operation. He was trying to avoid an attack from the police by the teargas. He had fallen from a car park. Mournful of our loss, and we demand for the government and police to launch a full investigation. Reporter reporter the government expressed regret and sorrow for the death, sending sympathies to the family, but this incident is likely to serve anger.

I have a hard time believing western europe, with its mature democracy and robust judiciaries and investigative systems, does not have a way to absorb several hundred of its own nationals back into its system. This strikes me as being an empty argument, a shallow argument. Western europe has been content to outsource its citizens to other countries.
