To learn if overall it had a responsibility in this electoral fraud. Mariano its when asked about the impact this might have on the country given that weve already seen tensions weve seen on wrist and were seeing police and troops being deployed to be able to deal with this with these on wrist give us a sense of whats happening inside the country right now. Well i think the impact is going very hard. In the streets there or silence ongoing here in the city of latakia Series Police going back and forth the army chief has said that they will comply the military will help the police to do joint operations and there this is something completely new look because they 9 have said all along that they will be on the sidelines as they would not participate in the framing protesters but things are getting out of hand theres a lot of attacks not only. Not only to. Even in the city but is how did it occur to physically leaderless opposition leaders. Have been heard whose houses are burned and there are hundreds if not thousands of people that we see in a indeed your sense from the city of a while the way the airport is a people marching with. The same calling for civil war and so on things that the people in the moments when they are so frustrated because the leader that has been. There 30 days before they were ready for nearly 14 years is leading the country and many people know that they are some way but others feel that this is is unfair that shes been ousted and so people are enraged and there is a lot of tension in the. 1000000 sanchez joining us. Live pas by fallen will briscoe is Program Director of latin america and caribbean at the International Crisis group he says what happens next in bolivia is uncertain.

What would dissolve. On sunday as a result of the records detecting fraud in the electoral process and theyre there to electoral officials have been arrested so theres a question of setting up the electoral system is a question of its 1000000000 to grandstand and is that the role of a deeper question how are the relations going to be between the opposition which is Strong Campaign against ever moralism and the and the delmar ellis supports he still has a very significant support securely in the indigenous communities of this country and its very likely that this base of support will be most unhappy with what weve seen over the last few days. Now turning to chile where protests of once again broken out riot Police Firing tear gas and water cannon at demonstrators in santiago it comes despite president Sebastian Pinera plans to rewrite the constitution thats a central demand of the protesters of the current shot of dates back to july pinochet era which many say excludes protections for social rights then years move into the pleasing demonstrators who have been protesting against income inequality for more than 3 weeks in america editor lucy reports from santiago. The unmistakable sight and sound of the quick Chinese National dance. In the same plaza where some travelers largest protests are taking place these people came to remind chileans that there are things that unite them all they feel like this is a decisive time its making us reflect on what we are and what we want to become we need to feel empowered and also take responsibility for the solutions to our demand the. One of them is a new constitution in nearly 4 weeks of unrelenting protests its widely being seen as indispensable to pave the way for structural changes to chiles free market system. The current constitution was imposed in 1980 under the pinochet dictatorship. The model of the 1980 constitution hands Education HealthSocial Security and Labor Relations over to the private sector the state plays a minimal role so people are feeling abused by a constitution that instead of benefiting the collective needs tends to concentrate resources in a few hands without providing the necessary services. But other experts argue that the current constitution is not to blame rather the laws and Public Policies that have failed to meet peoples needs. Im not saying this is a new constitution council. But i fear that will be a huge question between peoples expectations and the reality of what the constitution came and. After nearly 4 weeks of unrelenting protests its widely being seen as a necessary step to pave the way for structural changes to chiles free market system. But for many thats no longer enough former president ial candidate. Says that must call for early general elections before chile can tackle a new national charter. But we need to legitimize social changes by turning to our citizens they inevitably and unnecessarily must be consulted actively and that starts by letting them choose who will represent them. The undemocratic origin of chilies current to magna carta is indisputable like a new one will not rectify all the countries wrongs but it may be a good way to start over to boost the tarnish legitimacy of the countrys democracy you see in human aljazeera santiago. Hong kongs leader terry lamb has labelled protesters as extremely selfish and so theyre trying to paralyze the city the territorys chief executive has addressed media after describing demonstrators as quote the enemy of the people on monday it comes after the city was rocked by one of its most violent days since rallies began 5 months ago a pro beijing supporter who said he lived as an activist was shot by police with a view to apologize us now from hong kong given what else did kerry lamb have to say. Thats right she also criticized the protesters her for trying to disrupt the daily workings of hong kong destructing traffic she also said that arrangements were being made to circumvent the blockades that have been set up including fixing traffic lights and fixing other public public. Things that have been damaged by the protesters it was all very much a localized speech speaking to the hong kong people when i asked protesters earlier today whether they would be listening to her they just laughed and the speech also comes off the back of her speech yesterday after one of the most violent days weve seen in the hope all gone protest particularly during the week day where she says its Wishful Thinking for the protestors that they think that any kind of violent action will force the government to listen to them or give in to their demands people who are watching us right now saying that scene behind you just explain to us what youre seeing there and clearly this is being one of the sites for the demonstrations about what we might expect throughout the rest of the day. Thats right this is in front of City University thats one of the main universities here in hong kong and earlier today this road was blockaded riot police came in here for tear gas cleared it up got traffic flowing again and once again once they left all the students have come here and set up again at this intersection if you can see as you can say behind me there they are setting up blockade to whatever they can get their hands on that also strewn bricks across the road here to pull them off the sidewalks that were also. Broken or attacked i would say the traffic lights theyre seeing that so that they could just stop the traffic as you can see all Public Transportation also on this road which is quite quite an important intersection here has been stopped now theyre carrying on with their barricades they say that theyre going to continue their action theyre doing this because of what they say is Police Brutality and also yesterdays incidents where a student who was shot so they say theyre doing this in support of the students of hong kong its worth noting that about 10 universities in hong kong have stopped crosses for the day of their protests and several other universities universities seem to be the focal point of the protests and of the movement of many students very angry at the Police Actions and very angry at the governments reaction saying that theyre not no ones listening to them. Also universities have been told to try and discourage their students from taking part in the protests and violence but that doesnt seem to be making a difference people here say today that they are going to continue with the disruptions not only here but across the city do you thank you so much for that.
