*Chilean President Michelle Bachelet has sacked four ministers, as polls
suggest falling support for her government. *
The last few months have seen protests in the capital, Santiago, over
the introduction of a new transport system.
In a national TV address, Ms Bachelet said her government owed an
apology to Santiago's residents, especially the poor, for the chaos they
have faced.
