*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.
