Chile’s President allows a public vote on new constitution

The Chilean President will allow a referendum on a new constitution as protests continue throughout the country.

Also on the programme: the United Nations says nearly a quarter of a million people have been forced from their homes this month because of fierce fighting in Syria’s Idlib province. And: in a few days 2019 will end as will the 2010s, how will the decade be remembered?
