Drone footage filmed on Friday captured the extent of anti-government protests in Chile's capital, Santiago. An estimated one million demonstrators took part in the rally demanding the resignation of President Sebastian Pinera.

Footage shows the streets packed with protesters as well as smoke billowing from fires.

The demonstrations were triggered by a metro fare hike which was later withdrawn. But the protests continued with demands to address the rising cost of living, pension reform and alleged abuse of power by police.
