Was very tied up inside of the people who said mine of the people heart that it wasnt able to get to the end of the months without having to spend with credit so i think that when everything is privatized you can not access to the basic rights that should be growing where anted so i think this is one of the main issues whom people in the streets are. Protesting on if the privatization chicago privatization model is the same can you really look at the dead the wounded and the tamed in chile today and compare it though the nearest policies and positions policies. I think that the context of course are different between dictatorships not only that human one. But the only dictator city the seventys and eightys are different that their soft dictatorships are different kind of the cater she bharati though he seems in the 21st century so i think we are living today a lot of repression. Different marlos that. Advocate the democratic whistle lucians in order to change things for example this constitution this model and today were discussing except that how the policies are not. Enough for the population and the country is very polarized but the majority want to change the constitutions once a tool how to get higher wages once hot more Social Security that we dont have because hes privatized so i think that yes but he says. The population is not. Its not enough that what. Hes putting on the table you know but it has to be served that in the era arguably like the former british backed dictator british a claims he has we need to comic glee successful he said hes reduced poverty route 65 percent to 8 percent according to what he said while the British State mandated b. B. C. So lets be clear it has been successfully not because i mean hes one of the most billionaires people here in chile one of the top 5 billionaires and he like to make one of the top 10 or 20 probably but our country. Is not about democracy numbers today they are in employment its high its a day. Numbers of Economic Growth are not what was expected to be with it would be yes promises on campaign but more than that people cannot get into the end of the month people have asked to to to have credit in order to buy in the supermarket the basic incomes i mean a bit the basic thanks to to eat our economical elite house and get that didnt get the message until these days ok but then for you and your movement the trade unions and premier theyre supporting a new constitution presumably an updated version of that new liberal pinochet 980 constitution do you feel its not enough you want to constituent assembly plebiscites. This is what the yes sent a few days ago in national television. He said that he wants also new constitution but in terms of what is the mechanisms he didnt say anything new because the current constitution the constitution puts quinlans in order to change the continuation there are 2 thirds of the members of the of the house in order to change it until you know they caught the proposal of peace yet its only rhetorical because they dont want to put a democratic constitution that doesnt pass describes so its like a trap its like a retake track but people are. Informed people are reading the constitution people are starting to understand what are these locks that are from 981 from the communist might in pinochets. Constitution and our people are starting to realize that we doubt a process does a constituent process could be named assembly or wherever you want to call it but we doubt this locks that very very tight its impossible to have a democratic constitution ok your movement has shut down the apec conference where trump was supposed to sign a new us a trade deal with china which he didnt bring also there was a climate overdue shutdown and what next because obviously the world news chile because of copper the Worlds Largest copper production copper mines are in chile have you got the workers the copper miners on your side because according to Financial News wires your movement is not affecting the copper Commodity Prices which presumably could be crucial. 1st of all its i dont think this is my movement i feel that i dont river send exactly the movement of course were on the streets but the movement. It doesnt have like i head over to the us leading it its quite more decentralized and morally quick but i think that the demands of course are not to take down the cop conference or the opic because thats not the subject of the movement your question about the coverage workers theres a lot of support and theres a little bit of. Strikes on on their minds but has not been until now a massive strike on demining sector if the government sets theres going to be a referendum in order to choose their paths or for how we change the constitution probably did movement. Celebrated as a victory ok but any expectation the international dock Workers Council may get a Solidarity Campaign going on 5 continents like when the liverpool strikes run here in 1905 is that the kind of where were going and do you fear military reprisal. Well sadly the 1st days of opinion us response were military state of emergency and we have suffered 5 people dead killed killed by the state agents we have more than 4000 people detained there has been people tried to there has been more than 200 people without and not a because of the shots that the police do today manifestations of the demonstrations so were very worried about this spiral of violence that to take place on the streets because in the 1st place doesnt have a tradition of riots there are so high like this but when the police. Act in their way get out they have been acting this weeks and of course people started to response and thats not something that we want we just want to this taking a political path but the government refused this so strictly were having violation of human rights by the agents of the state and thats something that began that rejects. In other territories in our region but here in name in domestic land. Was decided to send the repression into the demonstrations to create a bigger gap between the demand and the response so people are not politicized and yesterday and probably without the political decision of the referendum its difficult to get into a solution or youre jackson thank you after the break Award Winning journalist greg palast on the return of the pink tried surging across latin america from chile to brazil to ecuador and we explore the global tremors of a new release go to produce netflix film earth quake bird with the films Award Winning director watch with me. Oversimple coming up part 2 of going underground. Happened and another one of the highest in my town the way you go through a food. Bank itself Movie Theater i. Was in this way got to talk so hard not to think of the mother disappeared this woman the look of a coward and an empty stomach and i think. This is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way to. The floor and you can move off the feet down this bill frist woody allen called leave it at the top of the. What i think is this is the fans that is what comes to mind. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing Dramatic Development only personally im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Good food descriptions sound up a tasing even for the owners so how to choose pet Food Industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us the most necessarily good for the pet turns out may not be as Healthy People believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders the cat allergies we are actually creating these problems its a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets street to larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because theyre already making it a 1000000000. 00 on it and theres no reason to do that research. Welcome back in the 1st half we heard from one of chiles most popular politicians about the struggle to free the country from the constitution of u. S. U. K. Back dictator Augusto Pinochet but for more of that and other fights were more procedure taking place not the america im joined now by skype by Award Winning muckraker greg palast whos in Los Angeles California greg thanks so much for coming up back on so we heard from a chilean politician youve been one of the worlds greatest communicators about globalization what sit made you feel seeing violence in chile be the cradle of near liberalism. But this is an old story weve now had for decades of battles back and forth between the neo cons and globalization free market liberalization which basically means allowing u. S. And European Companies to grab the resources of latin america they do it under the cover of free markets democracy which oddly doesnt involve respecting elections so ive seen this i was you know reporting on the ground out of venezuela out of peru out of argentina out of chile and so ive seen this again and again where then you have popular uprisings you know you have popular elections putting in people like john is you have a home or alephs you had the kitcheners in argentina you had progressive in like better late in. In chile and of course the neo cons the banks the Big Companies cannot stand it so they have socalled popular uprisings which are very popular because they can actually win elections and basically seize power again its a coup detat because you have a Trump Administration there obviously fueled by a feeling that they have complete backing of the u. S. State department of government you mentioned marama as the media here and you also mentioned resources is talking not about resources maybe see if had he resigned amid turmoil coke caused by his reelection why be seen as for you know bloomberg that he quit c. N. N. That he resigned Washington Post resigned the New York Times the end of tyranny what about how come you call it a coup ok 1st of all there was an election and he won ok theres a dispute over whether there is no question theres a big dispute over whether he won enough to avoid a runoff but he won by a plurality of 10 percent ok i mean 10 Percentage Points is a landslide in any nation but it wasnt clear that the dispute was whether he wanted to avoid a runoff and instead this. Dispute over whether he quote whether you want by a landslide in one clear or not resulted in an opening for foreign interests and of course the the right wing to try to seize power once again in the santa cruz area the rich area which basically the white you know you dont forget racism in this he was the 1st. Indigenous person ever elected the head of libya which is an indigenous nation and theres a lot of racism and also his you know opposition to his Progressive Agenda so they seized power they were going to try to say lets have an election because he even offered and that wasnt good enough they literally seized the president ial palace guys who were. Elected an ultra right wing organizations that were that seize the president ial palace and now they see you know theyre trying to overwhelm the elected and i want to underline that the elected congress which are from the party of evil morales and so there its about overturning democracy and you know this become a new trope i see this in in venezuela where the british and german and of course the trump government. Has endorsed this guy why do you as the socalled president of venezuela he didnt even bother running for office and by the way in all these cases youll notice something very very important the candidate is the president picked by foreign powers and again chosen by foreign powers not by the people are all white and racism is a gigantic part of the story of the control of latin america well im sure brussels and washington would deny racism but arguably they have failed in their attempts to overthrow the government of my doro of course because you know the Worlds Largest known oil reserves tell me about the school of the americas because 6 of the key plotters in bolivia went to the school of the americas what is that well as cool the americas as a kind of. Its a Training Ground basically for coup plotters what it is its supposed to be in place to to show latin American Military how to behave properly you know that this is suppose it was started because latin American Military was simply killing its citizens who were going to tell them how to control the population and do it politely without killing people in fact it became a school for coup plotters and of course encouraging the takeover of latin nations because the truth is that the Us Government and us corporations are quite unhappy with the idea of democracy in latin america and with Venezuela Oil was obviously an important element tell me about lithium because otherwise bolivia is just one of the poorest of the poorest country in latin america that we all carry a possibility here with us in our mobile phones and is that part of a coup yeah i mean one of one of the problems weve had this is all over the world live is not a special case it has lithium just as the democratic republic of congo has. Cold hand and also lithium and uranium its a resource grab it see old game that. We had in the 19th century in the early 20th century of grabbing resources except we dont do it nakedly anymore we have to cover it up saying oh were restoring democracy by removing elected officials lets face it if venezuelas main export were broccoli instead of oil they wouldnt care whos president theyre not forget that in the case of venezuela to give you a clear example of them and during government refused a request by the British Government and British Petroleum to turn over what was the french concession in venezuela to British Petroleum to b. P. Now have them endure a government that was 2 years ago of them endure a government simply handed b. P. The french concession in venezuela there would be no problem with the madeira government but madeira said no were keeping it were going to give it to the to the Venezuelan Oil company paid a basin and and it was at that point that the British Government and of course all the other european governments said well then in that case youre not a legitimate president you would have been quite legitimate if you turned over the oil to b. P. Well as you know b. P. And European Union governments will deny that and say its all about human rights act show me and we could also talk about the optimism of the return of the pink tide maybe the late today i want to ask you now though about Voter Suppression youre an expert on it will the 2020 election in the United States be fair. No not a chance america is a great imitation of democracy but we remove in the last 2 years are you ready for this United States as the various states have removed 14000000 voters from the voter rolls its called purging and theyre removed you know its like a and im up for the voter rolls to put in the crudest terms and theyre removing mainly voters of color black people hispanic and a lot of young people and they use all kinds of of tricks and its usually involving what we call jim crow or racist tactics but always with black voters and thats not just one state thats happening in 25 states in america greg thank you very welcome. Well themes of National Identity surveillance and globalism are explored in the new ridley scott british netflix film earthquake bird which is just premiered on the service in the past 24 hours then the owner while detective story comes from the director of oscar winner still alice wash westmoreland and stars another oscar winner x. Magners alice you have a calendar i went to meet the director in Central London tell me about earthquake but earthquake bird is a story about a young woman whos living in japan in the 1980 s. And shes working as a translator and she gets drawn into a love triangle and becomes a prime suspect in a horrific murder so its kind of a tokyo nor and its going this civic and exec producer ridley scott the whole film is would you say very global let alone the lead actress of speaking japanese is a global film we had a korean d. P. We had a mainly japanese crew we had an australian producer alyse is from sweden and im from leeds i mean how global is an art and they all have jobs like this dont were all going underground he said theres always an awareness of clothes and economics in the midst everything theyre all having to put joy over all while theyre going through mental trauma yes they are and you do get like clues into what their background has been and you know how theyve arrived at that economic position in japan why theyre there and what their struggles are do you think there is an element and the theme of the film i know its from from a novel but of. Getting to grips with grief there is absolutely a theme of going to get grips with grief i think ultimately its a psychological thriller and you dont expect it to come through but its about survivors guilt its about someone whos come into contact with a lot of death and is trying to process it in a way a lead character has p. T. S. D. She feels like shes a death magnet that so many you know traumatic events have been around h
