joining me from bogota, we see unrests in the wake of in other parts of south america. tell us why people are taking to are.treets where you reporter: this is the fifth day that thousands of people, as you can see behind me, are taking to the streets here in colombia and series ofa large demands. a lot has to do with reforms of the government is proposing both to the pension system, education system, labor system, the way inple are being paid colombia, the very large existsc inequality that here and also has to do a lot, i thatve, with the fact there has been a peace deal here putting to in 2016, --end the civil strive strife that was continuing in and has almost 50 years opened the door to the birth ofty of the larger social movement like the one we're seeing now to demand the country and definitely this also comes into what'sger picture of been happening across south america. finally, this demonstration in particular is happening in of the international day against violence against women which is a major issue here in colombia and across south america. thele are sayin

of south america. they would chase them wherever they could find them. whether mexico, europe, or the united states. but this was the only condor assassination within the united states. it ended up being a huge miscalculation for the pinochet government. they must have somehow thought that this would be ok with the u.s. government. likely because they had done it in all sorts of parts of the world, and that government had not done anything about it. also because letelier was a socialist, and he was allying with other socialists, but he was a democratic-socialist and a peaceful socialist, and the pinochet government probably thought that nobody would respond to this, that the americans would not care about this, but it turns out that when you kill a former ambassador in the united states, that is a crime under u.s. law, under the u.s. code, because that person remains a protected person until they die. also, of course, they killed a united states citizen, so these are two separate federal crimes. immedi

smith: so, when the native people are brought from south america, they bring with them sugarcane. rumthe base ingredient for is usually the waste products from sugar. that is the base ingredient usually. >> and how is it being made at this time? prof. smith: you would take whatever kind of waste products you had, talking about sugarcane that might have been damaged when it was eaten by rats, or damaged in a hurricane, or the molasses taken out of the sugar as it is being turned into granular sugar, and they are taking all these waste products together, mixing them together with some water, some source of yeast, allowing fermentation to take place for maybe two weeks as the sugar becomes alcohol. then there put in a closed copper still, where you are able to extract most of the alcohol, and only some of the water, creating a more concentrated alcoholic beverage. >> who is drinking it? prof. smith: everybody. a lot of the rum is being consumed on the plantations where it is produced, especially early on, the producers are the consumers. that's an important point. it suggests to us,

for people watching back at home who may not know, just explain how big this is in south america. it is the south american equivalent of the champions league. so the winners of this are the champions of the continent. but that's not all. it also means that, as continental champions, they go next month to the club world cup, which is a competition which unites the champions of all of the continents. now, in europe, that doesn't play a very big. 0ver continents. now, in europe, that doesn't play a very big. over here, it is huge, because it has the chance of a crack, if you like, at the promised land, the chance of having a go at the glamorous european champions, who this year, of course, are liveable. now flamengo, as you mentioned, have only once before in their history won the copa libertadores, the south american title. they followed that up american title. they followed that up in december 1981 with a win over the european champions, 3—0. those european champions were liverpool. so the flamengo fans are desperate for history to repeat itself. they still sing about the events

but now, curators, south america's biggest clu b curators, south america's biggest club game breaking with tradition with a single one off match that will decide the destination for the trophy. personally, i prefera single final, it is more fair. whoever has the best strategy, however plays the best game on the day, it is more exciting, it becomes a big event. fans enjoy the moment more. looking for a first victory in the generation, and a plate for more accustomed to such success, they're fully aware of the task at hand. accustomed to such success, they're fully aware of the task at handlj believe you're physically very complicated rival. they are a team that plays well and pushes to score like we do and looks to win. this the kind of match we have to be very focused who makes fewer mistakes will win the game. this is the kind of match that we would like and are use of match that we would like and are use to. the insurgency, the finals nearly here, it is being referred to as the unique final, given the circumstances, it is hard to argue. cricket now, and the last few months have had

because that is a lie that anyone in south america would believe, either on the left or on the right. they would believe the cia is able to do these sorts of things, and of course, it is able to do it, and townley is an american, so it seems to make sense. but it does not make sense. it is not true. >> i have one last question. i just wanted to know what your personal connection to the story is and what drew you wanting to explain more from 1995 to last year. dr. mcpherson: i have no deep personal connection to the story, although chile is one of the first countries that i traveled to when i was sort of exploring in my early 20's, soy i spent a few months in the country, traveled to the north and south and loved it. it was during the first years when chilean democracy came back -- pinochet was gone, but i remember hearing about the colony of dignity, which was this concentration camp in the south of chile that was completely private, but now we know that contreras would send prisoners there to get tortured. there was a movie about this that came out a couple of years ago. in fact, sev

tim vickery reporting on an incredible match in south america. you can reach me on twitter. i'm @sipusey. from me and the rest of the team, thank you for watching and stay tuned right here on bbc news. hello. after a very wet day across parts of the uk on saturday, sunday promises to be a drier day, albeit with a lot of cloud and some misty, murky conditions. but, briefly, we have a weak ridge of high pressure extending across the uk. still some rain to talk about at first on sunday, particularly for eastern scotland, still on the heavy side. slowly that heavy rain pushes its way across northern scotland, and eventually becomes confined to the northern isles through the day. quite wet and windy here. but elsewhere, turning dry across scotland, largely dry across northern ireland, england and wales, but with a lot of cloud and some mist, some patchy fog through the morning. that will be slow to clear, poor visibility in places, so any brightness really at a premium on sunday. but away from the northern isles, it's mainly dry, mild, 9—12 celsius the top temperature. and then

or south america are saying like hey will make this deal all of them are all everybody sort of stepping to the plate really right that's part of the concern that we have in mexico sort of saying this agreement that we have the mexico is actually a better situation most mexicans are going back because the conditions there are better the economy is going better many u.s. companies are opening up there and going abroad which is been the issue right if you could make things here we should but this whole close out both that we have on tariffs and that we have on workers sort of keep us from being able to produce things in this country and that's the problem and that's the problem. it really hurt me when i saw that headline the just shy of 70000 migrant children were detained in the u.s. and that's just 2003 we're not even finished with 2000. why is that number so high . be alarming to anyone if we consider the amount of numbers that they say of people who are actually appearing at the border every day. right so when we say detained that doesn't mean that they're now currently i mean they jus

the solution is to build terraces into the slopes, following the example of the incas in south america. >> [speaking foreign language] before we knew about building terraces, the soil on the slopes just used to get washed into the valley. there was no point using manure or fertilizer. but now, whatever we use stays where it's meant to be. so the crops on the terraces are growing faster, and we have better harvests. >> now all the mountain villages here have built terraces. it's a time-consuming process. the steps in the slope need to be at least 5 meters deep. once complete, the ground then needs to rest for 3 months. sometimes there are unexpected obstacles. farmers have stumbled across unmarked graves left from the genocide in 1994, which killed around a millionon people. >> [speaking foreign language] we found bodies under this field of people killed during the genocide, so we didn't dig any furtheher. there used to be a house here. presumably there was a massacre and they just dumped all the bodies under there. we don't dig terraces in an area like that. >> a few valleys further on

of south america. none of the ambassadors who received this cable from washington did anything about it which is very rare in diplomacy. the ambassador to uruguay feared for his life if he wagged his finger at the generals, chile worried that pinochet might take as an insult any interference that he was contacted with such plots. five days before the assassination, kissinger ordered that no further action be taken on this matter. back in chilly in the same summer of 1976, contreras, acting through his chief of operations, entrusted the hit on letelier to michael townly, an american-chilean explosives expert. and this is michael townly with his wife. townly worked with troops. recruits received training in coding and code breaking, weapons handling, explosives and martial arts. later the troops would be lined up and review them with his right arm crossed against his chest. these are teenagers. they wore black uniforms with white arm bands. hitler's brown shirts would have approved. his followers called

antigovernment protests are sweeping across parts of south america demonstrators in colombia have rejected the president's promise of a national conversation and have defied a curfew in the capital they're concerned about tax increases and a change to the pension system people in chile are demanding economic and social change the interior minister has made a plea for peace a day after protests and looting there and in bolivia demonstrations that began after allegations of vote tampering have now turned into calls for electoral reform politicians have agreed to hold new elections and talks to resolve the crisis al-jazeera sanchez begins our coverage from la paz was the protests in bolivia are not only confined to the streets it also reached the house of deputies the agreed to pass a bill that paves the way for new elections but it came after a heated debate that so legislators pointing fingers and hurling insults at each other. but some lawmakers they know elections can happen before the deaths of 32 believe are investigated and hundreds of detained protesters are freed deputy henrico data

outside of south america. but for one month none of the ambassadors who received this cable from washington did anything about it. which is very rare in diplomacy. usually when you're given an order, you do it. the ambassador to uruguay feared for his life if he wagged his finger at the generals. the enjoy to chile worried that pinochet, quote, might well take as an insult any inference that he was connected with such assassination plots. five days before the letelier assassination, kissinger ordered, quote, that no further action be taken on this matter. back in chile in the same summer of 1976, contreras acting through his chief of operations pedro espinosa entrusted the hit on letelier on michael townley, a local chilean explosives expert. this is michael townley with his wife. townley worked with proto fascist youth shock troupes called fatherland and freedom. recruits received training in coding and code breaking, weapons handling, explodives and martial arts with nunchucks. review them with his right arm

protests that we see this in the wake of unrest in all the parts of south america tell us why people are taking to the streets why you are . well this is the 50 days that thousands of people as you can see behind me are taking to the streets here in colombia and they have a large series of demands truly a lot of house to do with the reforms that the government is proposing both to the pension system education system the labor system the way people are being paving columbia the very large economic inequality that exists here and also has to do a lot i believe with the fact that there has been a piece. of your income in 2060 putting to him and the civil conflict that was continuing in colombia for almost 50 years and this as in many ways open the door to the possibility of the birds of a larger a social movement like the one we're seeing now to demand social change in the country and definitely this also comes into the larger picture of what's been happening across south america and then finally this strange. has said it's happening in the context of the international day against viole

angry protests and widespread armrest people are demonstrating across south america they're calling for an end to corruption and social inequality some are alleging election fraud bolivia's president has already been toppled venezuela's is in the midst of a power struggle and in chile hundreds of thousands of people are demanding constitutional and economic reform as well as a higher basic wage and affordable health care. the trade union flag that francisco is carrying is well worn it is being carried aloft at every strike a bipartisan support workers. turn to the flag maybe it could now be leading the workers into a new future. year. president pinera has to go it's going to be difficult but we'll succeed. by marching for my children they're still young and i want them to have a better future to have the chance to go to college and find a good job. but i'm. conservative president sebastian pinera is the target of the people's anger his pro-business policies have led to strong economic growth but many people have been left behind income. inequality is high a program of extensive privatiz

it's effectively the champions league final for south america, on the bbc sport website, and app — we have a selection of the best goals scored by both in this year's tournament. it's been complicated build up to the final — as adam wild reports. reaching the final can patients, just ask the brazilian side in 1981 it was their last victory. 10,000 strong party making the team wait just a little longer. those opponents, not quite such scenes, this is them leaving buenos ares the reigning champions in the fence they did turn out had seen it all before. but as both sides remarkable journey nears its end, the final destination has not always been quite so clear. for the second year in a row, the final has travelled. last years clashes between fans of river plate and juniors meant the second leg of the final was played in madrid. this year, political unrest in chile has forced the final itself to make the journey to peru. but now here it is, south america's biggest club game breaking away from tradition and this year, a single one—off match will decide the destination of the trophy. pe

protests against the president had been turning increasingly violent. 0ur south america correspondent katy watson gave us her assessment. just today we have seen so many changes, so many developments ending in the resignation of evo morales, a man who came to power nearly 1a yea rs man who came to power nearly 1a years ago promising massive changes for the poorest country in south america. he achieved social inclusion. i was there last month when people said they felt proud to bea when people said they felt proud to be a bolivian and the economy was going at a good pace. but his democratic credentials were what concerned many people. he lost a referendum asking whether he should stay on and be able to run for another term but he reject that, even though he lost. at that point people started to feel that 0k, even though he lost. at that point people started to feel that ok, this man wants to stay in power for longer than he is able to and he needs to go. and that is what we have seen, despite the fact that evo morales said he would call for fresh elections, the armed forces say he need

12 months ago, after years of saving, they took the holiday of a lifetime to south america. during our trip we took around 20 flights. some pretty serious distances you have to travel to get anywhere, so at the time, given our budget and time, the only way we could do it really was to fly. before our trip i don't think we really thought about the environment at all. we were so excited about going to south america, it's been our dream since we met almost seven years ago. but, while on their trip, they saw a glacier that had receded because of a changing climate. so when they got home, they calculated their co2 emissions. 15, 16, 17 to mendoza, 18 to santiago, and then home. we put in all our flights, and we also put in all the bus journeys we did take. and the difference in the carbon emissions was really quite significant. i was actually astounded. it was like 15 tonnes of carbon that we created 79. that's nearly double the annual emissions of the average uk household for all activities, flying included. while being there made us realise that it probably wasn't the best thin

tim vickery, the bbc‘s south america football correspondent, told me it was an extraordinary match. well, maybe manchester united fans will remember their champions league victory over bayern munich in 1999. it was a little bit similar. river plate didn't only have one hand on the title. they had one hand and maybe three or four fingers of the other hand on the title. i think plenty of flamengo fans are still, a few hours afterwards, thinking well, how on earth did we win that one? what an extraordinary game of football, so dramatic, and i suppose in a way it vindicates the decision by the authorities over here to move to this idea of having a one—off final on a neutral ground. the tradition over here, simon, has always been two—legged final, home and away. now, the switch has come really for two reasons. one is commercial. this game happened at a good timeslot for europe. bbc two showed it in england, in britain, for example. also, there was a hope, i think, that a neutral ground would throw up an excellent spectacle, and we certainly got a dramatic spectacle. the flipside of t

well let's begin in south america where protests in several countries have crippled major cities bringing many of them to a standstill in chile protests initially began last month when students in santiago demonstrated against the subway fare increase since then demonstrations have grown with demands for political and economic reform in colombia a proposal to change the minimum wage as well as introduce possible pension tax reforms led to a strike and huge rallies in bogota and in bolivia protests were sparked by a disputed presidential election president evo morales denied an electoral fraud but eventually resigned under pressure from the military and fled to mexico his supporters have been protesting calling for his return. that's kicked off with cheney though where protests have ramped up after the defense minister dismiss concerns over the use of excessive force against demonstrators he says soldiers deployed during a state of emergency were professional and disciplined but the rights group amnesty international says lethal weapons have been used indiscriminately on at least 4 occasio
