Europe. How to call for a nationwide strike came by the roots after the president ignores the opposition said line to step down. We begin in chile where with most of the votes counted a referendum to change the constitution is on course to pass with an overwhelming majority since polls closed several hours ago thousands of people have been gathering at a popular square in the capital to celebrate it was the focal point of last is often violent protests against social and economic inequalities the governments agreed to the referendum following those demonstrations. A current constitution was imposed 4 decades ago under the military dictatorship of pinochet early results suggest people want a body of specially elected citizens to draw off the new charter which will then go to a nationwide vote. Chiles president Sebastian Pinera has called on the nation to Work Together if. This referendum is not the end it is the beginning of a path that we must all walk to give the to agree on a new constitution for to this. Until now the constitution has divided us from today we must all Work Together so that the new constitution is the great framework of unity stability in future. For a time the spec is the editor in chief of chile today news and independent news website he explains why the move is so symbolic. It means that a lot of the people who were protesting it for at least one year and. Thats how they call it with dignity square a younger generations who never lived in a dictatorship and who are right now living the legacy of that system which basically means a constitution that doesnt guarantee certain fundamental rights to them and they d were fed d up they to destry its and they managed to get a referendum today where a very large majority photos for d a new constitution protests have been framed as very violent that exactly one year ago 25th of october 2090 more than 1000000 people marched through each of some thiago asking for change it was a very peaceful protest constantly the government of Sebastian Pinera strained protests and being very violent and this is also why some protests already d starting to say you know what we should not only get a new constitution we didnt even ask 3 year old man to him to resign expectations are very are for a new constitution and if you talk to people on the street you you nearly start to believe that a new paper or a new constitution will solve all their problems and of course thats not the case but its a beginning its a very symbolic to and a constitution that was written in a dictatorship with such a huge popular vote such a huge turnout and thats very important for the to laze but of course the real work starts now now its up to 2 lanes to vote to elect people who are going to write a new constitution. To work on that economic inequality problems and then i think there was a realize that just writing a new constitution is not enough. A humanitarian ceasefire has just come into effect which we know as a visual on and on media its the 3rd such stalemate in recent weeks to stop the conflict ivan to go on a kind of a theres this truce was mediated by the United States and it comes despite heavy fighting on sunday nagornokarabakh is part of azerbaijan but control by Ethnic Armenians fighting over the past month is the most a vest and so war ended that and 994. Protesters in iraq of one year since the then since their movement against her government corruption began several people were injured after Security Forces fired tear gas and water cannon at those trying to force their way into baghdads green zone which houses government buildings many demonstrators say the government has done little to improve their lives so manifold and reports. After months of quiet baghdad spatters square came alive on sunday to commemorate the one Year Anniversary of iraqs antigovernment protesters. Students and teachers what previously marched to hear every sunday but had stayed away because of the coronavirus pandemic once again joined in. The atmosphere was part festive part somber they rejoice to debate of the same revolutionary songs of last year but also remember those who died for the cause. Here. We are commemorating the youth who have died of old this time they still havent done anything for us we dont have the homeland we are to get it seems impossible but what we want right now is our rights and the rights of the protesters who died. Protesters climbed atop the barricades leading to the heavily fortified green zone which houses government offices taunting a ruling class they see as corrupt last year they forced the then Prime Minister ive been at them to resign at the parties in the system that brought him to power remain in place in order to still really. Want to give this constitution doesnt represent us its a constitution that suits them because they wrote it to serve their interests these rich people who have hotels commissions and millions while we are here starving. But the movement has been plagued by disunity and the lack of organization most protesters advocated Peaceful Demonstrations to watch. The revolution. Marys agreed to make this a peaceful protest without is coalition and they are voicing their demands in a peaceful way. But others decided to cross the barricades to the green zone in an attempt to lay siege to Parliament RiotPolice Used Tear Gas to repel them resulting in several life injuries a government spokesman said dozens of Security Forces were also injured when demonstrators threw stones petrol bombs and homemade hand grenades. But. One of the Security Forces present on the 3 barricades and atop the buildings didnt carry firearms the instructions were very clear and frank and until this moment there was high commitment from the side of the Security Forces to protect the protesters the Prime Minister has called for early elections in june next year but many protesters feel the government hasnt done enough to meet their demands for sweeping reforms. Sundays the most ration is where to some extent a test for the protest movement to see if it could once again mobilize crowds while it was the biggest gathering in months the numbers were not what they used to be last year what remains to be seen whether the protest movement can once again galvanize support in the days to come see what a fault in aljazeera. Renaud admins who are is a Senior Research fellow at Chatham House he says it will be hard for the government to meet protesters demands. These are not the 1st times weve seen protests in iraq in fact many times since 2003 there have been protests but in the past the elite leaders i mean have been able to kind of either throw economics i. E. Giving more jobs to giving people more employment or through ideology using terrorism baathism sectarianism theyve been able to kind of manage protests these protests the elite have no answer to they had to use either ideology or get buy them off in that way because it was said the economy is on the brink and iraq and the people are tired of the same Political Parties and the misgovernance this is a population that has been traumatized after 17 years of a missed opportunity and they want just take it and so. Theyre calling for accountability theyre calling for things that the head ought to give them because doing that would have to undermine the whole system they call them theyre calling this revolution that they want the end to that system so its on the great and there isnt really in the bush a point there theres no need to be hurting stalemate those that want to get them together in that way so the only thing the Prime Minister is left with is calling for this early election but in iraq weve had many elections weve had many electoral law reforms but weve never we havent changed the same Political Parties put in power after 2003 from spilling out you know spreading and sort of the biting out the spoils of that war.
