Crossroads millions of voters will decide this weekend whether to scrap the nations constitution written under dictator Augusto Pinochet. Plus a big birthday for a football legend pele turns 18 today did resilience been named player of the century and the king of football after decades at the top well hear his take on the beautiful game. Im gather as well come to the program u. S. President s donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden of faced off in a final t. V. Debate less than 2 weeks before election day the exchange was a lot more civil than the ill tempered 1st debate the coronavirus pandemic dominated the agenda along with Race Relations taxes and the economy. Republicans in longwood florida were thrilled with their candidates performance we love and adore him and tonight he was doing a fabulous job but back in 2016 i voted against hillary not necessarily for trump but now im 100 percent on board. But biden supporters seemed equally satisfied getting its hard to sum up is how do you get someone like. A great a glowing and very different tone and pace to find this head to head between the president ial hopefuls gone with the chaos and constant interruptions of their 1st meeting this was more of a conventional debate with a coronavirus pandemic given the most minutes on the clock. Skirting around the dire coded 900. 00 situation trump offered a rosy view it will go away and as i say were rounding the turn were rounding the corner its going away we have a vaccine thats coming its ready its going to be announced within weeks and its going to be delivered cost of shutdown by didnt condemn trumps record of dealing with a crisis a few 120000 americans dead and he want his response where that money should not remain as president of the United States of america were going to the issue of race was also in focus. Fact of the matter is there is institutional racism in america and we have always said weve never lived up to it that we hold these truths to be selfevident all meta women are created equal guess what we have never ever lived up to put it weve always constantly been moving the needle further and further to inclusion not exclusion this is the 1st president to come along and says thats the end of that nobody has done more for the black community. And if you look with the exception of Abraham Lincoln possible exception a claim that has been repeatedly challenged by critics as patently false nonetheless voters finally got something resembling a substantive debate but it may be too late to have a major impact on the election result a Record Number of americans have voted early and polls show most remaining voters had already decided how theyll fill in their ballot. Our correspondents all of us all it is in washington for us all over and a clear winner in this debate. Well most of the polls scare hard see joe biden as the winner but it really depends because if you look at right wing media they think of President Trump did a good job here in part because he was less aggressive than what we seen of him in the 1st debate and in the town hall that came instead of the 2nd debate and that in part also because of the mute button that was introduced as a new rule last night for the 1st time in the history of president ial debates also President Trump might have listened to his advisors who strongly encouraged him to lower his temper here the moderator did a very good job as well and biden in contrast was not very strong in that debate but he did come across president ial as a unifier what mary americans all longing for right now and you also did not do any major mistakes now what stood out here at this debate really was the amount of misleading claims made in particular by President Trump a lot was out of context taken out of context or straight out false information now biden of course also had some false claims there but certainly not to the to the extent that the president did and now there were lots of conspiracy theories also put forward by President Trump that may work very well within trump space but a majority or a lot of people here in america are increasingly growing tired of that kind of rhetoric it was just 11 days to go until the election all about are there any undecided voters left that could have been swayed by these before mrs. So a fairly small amount of on this side of voters looking at a very polarized society as you know gary hart a majority of the voters made up their minds weeks before these debates took place and the general wisdom also in these debates is that they have little impact on voters decision and now another problem that the Trump Campaign is facing right now is early voting because because of the pandemic were seeing a record turnout here already 50000000 voters have cast their ballots and they are they of course cannot change their minds any more stay with us from 0 because i want to talk about another big thing thats happened thats trump was key in orchestrating saddam has pledged to normalize relations with israel that will become the 1st arab state to establish ties with israel under the u. S. Brokered deals this year u. S. President of trump announced the agreement on friday the u. S. Settable remove saddam from the list of state sponsors of terrorism if khartoum compensates us victims of terror attacks and especially recently also brokered diplomatic ties between israel and the United Arab Emirates and. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu welcomed the deal. Today we declare another dramatic breakthrough for peace and no other arab country joins of circle of peace is not this time its what a Great Development in the courtroom today 9673 knows of the arab you know to peace of israel you know if youre nation of israel and no negotiations with the revenues you know you day to me saying yes to peace with israel yes through recognition of israel and yes you know many zation of israel this is a new era. Peace is proceeding with 3 arab countries in the last few weeks so most members would want to hold him well if the u. S. Brokered this deal what was in it for washington. Well the same that was in the deal with the United Arab Emirates that the trumpet ministration brokered donald trump urgently needs Success Stories in Foreign Policy as you know it did not go very well for him for all of large parts of his presidency you just remember north korea iran also russia if you take a closer look at the deal made and it is looks very much like a deal made here between the United States and sudan then saddam was taken off a list of a sponsor of terrorism list and also don is trying to make clear that has nothing to do with the new relationship between israel and the sudan but what we do have fear is economic advantages ever taken off that list and it looks like its a deal in exchange for Foreign Policy for a Foreign PolicySuccess Story for the Trump Administration in an effort of course to strengthen trumps position as we are moving closer to the election.

To chile now where this sunday millions of voters will make a decision that could dramatically reshape the country protests in recent years a force chilean leaders to schedule a referendum on whether to rewrite the constitution a document that dates back to the rule of dictator Augusto Pinochet its a momentous vote taking place in one of the regions which as nations but one struggling with spiraling inequality. The route to referendum went through this subway station. Students mostly protesting a rise in fares. A heavy handed response from security personnel led to stunning scenes of mass protest in the streets of santiago and other chilean cities. Dozens died during riots arson and looting that caused extensive damage and prompted a military presence on the streets. But the Peaceful Protesters persevered calling for an overhaul of she lays social and economic model and gaining a key demand a vote on whether to toss out the old magna. The constitution adopted during the brutal 17 year dictatorship of general Augusto Pinochet which ended in 1900 a period when thousands were tortured killed or they were disappeared. This will be a historic event for the 1st time in the history of the republic we will be consulted on whether or not we want a new constitution and who should draft. The subway stations were cleaned up after the demonstrations in writing a year ago but emotions have been peaking again peaceful antigovernment demonstrations last sunday were marred by the burning of 2 churches vandals cheering the collapse of a church spire not what those promoting a yes vote on a change to the constitution want their protests to be remembered for. But anyone will come but i thought look were not going to change health care in the same pensions thats what were fighting for for more than a year our pensions our wages or education everything but i dont see any change. After a year of the social upheaval im out in the street because i want changes to our health system. On the other side thousands have hit the streets to protest against change no they say to a rewrite of the constitution. By shifting to a new constitution were in great danger of falling into Something Like what happened to venezuela if it happened to venezuela why would it happen to us. I will keep the same constitution and make the necessary reforms to it. No voters insist the government working within the present constitution will help those left behind since the magna carta was adopted yes voters say start from scratch with the participation of the people and let the world see what chilean democracy 2. 0 looks like. Im sure it was not at all more about the referendum is the reporter benjamin of ours group of benjamin why are people so dissatisfied how silly is run they are dissatisfied and this is a dissatisfaction that has been growing over the years its not just with the current government because on one side you have to lay that has been praised internationally as a key leader off latin america when you look into development for example when you look at other indicators thats one side but the other side of the story is this increasing inequality when it comes to Public Health care system when it comes to education so those are a lot of problems that are currently in the Chilean Society and a lot of them are just fed up and we have this price hike off the public transport system that started this protest in october of last year and now they want to see a real change its all those a lot of hope for this new constitution a referendum that will take place and the current constitution dates back to when the country was a dictatorship run by peter shit until 990 is sundays vote chill a chance to really start over its it will be a new framework its important to note what a constitution would look like and its important to know what the current constitution is lacking and that is the legitimacy of origin it was drafted as you mentioned during the pinochet dictatorship later on it was approved with another referendum but a referendum without free press and without any ridges role votes so the problem is someone could vote 2 or 3 times and thats a really big problem off the current constitution the other one is that you need a really high quorum to do this reforms and of course thats what the constitution. Cannot be the only solution there need to be several of the reforms to that were next question the referendum is only a 1st step is it other other things need to have it is in a new constitution will not change all the problems that the Chilean Society has right that if we go to talk about poverty if we talk about equality if we talk about education of the pension systems there are several reforms that need to be done and one of them a really really important reform is the one of the security and of the police of the National Police lets remember that got to be nato says more than 8500 accusations of Human Rights Violations only in last year that have been shown by several International Organizations so as some people are claiming and wanting to have chile with peace its important to know that for a long standing peace the only chance is to have also long standing justice and in the Current System that we have in chile right now thats not the case unfortunately benjamin of us program thank you very much for coming to students they welcome you want to be the still to come brazils football legend pele turns 83 time world cup winning striker is seen by many as the greatest player of all time well hear how hes feeling on his birthday. But 1st your honest burks hillbrow district is infamous for many reasons drugs violence prostitution you get the picture but many in the neighborhood are determined to change that one group of residents meets every week because it wants hillbrow to be framus for something thats quite ordinary clean streets and green pox w. s africa correspondent there early on krishna met up with. These volunteers meet up every saturday to clean up their neighborhoods. 35 years old and has been living in who broke for 4 years now. You need to and they can miss the listing it seems like you know it takes no you have the people so you want to do the same to take interest to say i said to this who bro has a problem with rubbish its everywhere the citys Waste Collection service cannot cope on its own so the volunteers decided to form their own organisation its called the city.

They live here is the environment so its its bringing that pride to their own environment you know you dont have to just eat something out of a plastic could bring something out of a bottle and throw it on the ground so we started to to get that change of behavior in the people and the community that lives here and then eventually once a street on the air or a park is cleared and the crime elements they move out that killer must seek or says crime particularly robberies needs to be addressed he takes us to the block of flats where you works as a caretaker he says well the situation has improved dramatically in recent.
