Huge rally against Ecuador reform

Tens of thousands of people have staged a protest march in Ecuador's largest city against President Rafael Correa's planned constitutional reforms.

The demonstration in Guayaquil, about 420km (261 miles) from the capital, was led by the city's Mayor, Jaime Nebot.

Critics say the reforms will focus more power in the president's hands and this will frighten off foreign investors.

Mr Correa argues that his reforms will make Ecuador a more just society and tackle endemic political instability.
