A New Zealander living and working in Peru says protests in the country are out of control and everyone is scared. Over the weekend, the train that carried visitors to Machu Picchu suspended the service due to protesters blocking the railway with big boulders, leaving dozens of kiwis trapped in the village at the foot of the tourist jewel, Aguas Calientes. The violent protests were sparked by the dismissal of former president Pedro Castillo, who was detained after he tried to illegally dissolve congress and announced he would rule by decree. Rayssa Almeida has the report.
