Chile's capital of Santiago has seen the second day of general strikes amid protests that rocked the country earlier this month. Initially, the protesters took to the streets to oppose government plans to increase public transport fares. That motion has been abandoned, but protests are continuing against other policies.

People in Mexico have taken to the streets to express their support for the protesters in Chile.
