2:11 am
international relations is not on the list. that's because in many respects, latin american countries are taking a wait and see attitude, the summit will show the level of polarization and division among let, than americans lead and americans are very well aware that the, the wold is that living through a very important changes in the international system, as we knew it before, the war in ukraine, it became no more. so a latin americans would be very interested in learning a what is the offer by the united states to latin america in this new context. russia has friends in the region, notably cuba, venezuela and nicaragua, which declined to condemn the invasion and were not invited to the summit. brazil is russia's biggest trade partner in the region in many south american countries by arms from moscow. but latin american ambivalence over ukraine has more to do with
2:12 am
the u. s. is historic role in the region than russian ambitions there. as significant park of berlington americans, precisely seeing these kind o'clock at tensions between the united states, between the west and russia, from a position at that that the united states did a lot of bad things to was. so why should we support the united states when something's happened in the ukraine? historically, latin america and the caribbean have been pawns, 1st in european imperialist schemes, then under american hegemony, and as proxies in the cold war. experts say they have not developed the capacity for an independent foreign policy. the challenge for the u. s. is to rebuild and then maintain its influence in the region while blunting that of russia and china. that will take more than a 3 day summit here in los angeles, but these meetings could be a start. rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles,

actor matthew mcculla, he was born in your vall, that he made an emotional play of to meeting president joe biden made. they were green hi, top converse with a heart. she had hand drawn on the right toe because they represented her love of nature. camilla's got these shoes. can you show the shoes place for these every day? these the same green, convers on her feet, that turned out to be the only clear evidence that could identify her at the shooting. have had that we can bo size rise above kn, both side see beyond the political problem at hand and admit that we have a lie preservation problem on our hands. tactical haine joins us live from washington, d. c. now and apache. more emotional please. for greater gong control, this really is a polarizing issue in the states, isn't it?
2:19 am
it is incredibly polarizing. but one of the things we've heard from gun rights activist we heard from matthew mcconaughey today is to keep saying this time might be different. i mean, let's not forget what happened in newtown, connecticut were 22 children were gunned down in their elementary school classroom . congress tried to pass legislation that would have just made it somewhat harder to get a gun background checks and that didn't pass. and so they are thinking though this time might be different and it was really some of the most compelling 20 minutes of talking that i've ever heard in a white house briefing room. and this was matthew mcconaughey. as you mentioned, he's from, you've already said he and his wife has said the last week there. so talking to the victims family talking to a teacher who was cutting down in the classroom. her husband, they've been married for decades, had a heart attack and died. he said of grief 24 hours later leaving 4 children behind
2:20 am
. he talked about the students. so what he got to know about them, not just that little girl who were the green sneakers, but that she wanted to be a marine biologist recently written on letters at 10 years old to a college. and i want to go there because i want to be a marine biologist and another student who's excited because she gets she was getting chance to read a bible verse in church that wednesday talked about another little girl who wanted to move to paris and study painting and he showed her artwork. so this was basically, he said, when i was talking to these parents, they once something to be done, they want their children not to have died in vain through said i'm using what platform i have to try to make that happen. so he came up, he talked to members of congress, he spoke briefly with the president, he spoke to the press. what he says he wants to have happen is to raise age limit to buy an assault weapon from 18, where it currently is to $21.00. he wants universal background checks because right now you can buy a gun and
2:21 am
a private gun show and it doesn't matter what kind of criminal record you have because they're not checking. and he wants something called red flag laws. that's basically where if police become aware, did they think somebody with guns is danger to themselves or others they go to a judge is judge, can have the guns removed from their homes. so those are the things he's asking for . he talked a lot about growing up and usually you will aid and that he, his mother was a kindergarten teacher not far from the school. busy where this happen, where the shooting happened. and that he stressed again that he's from texas a, grew up using bb guns and then learning how to shoot a rifle there that this isn't about gun owners versus non gun gun owners. but this is about americans trying to protect children. patsy, in practical terms, where are we in terms of any possible legislation? okay, so we've got the house side that's controlled by democrats on the senate side that is controlled by democrats, but just by 5050, basically. so the house is as
2:22 am
a series of bills that would do much of what matthew mcconaughey says, is necessary. there's going to be a hearing tomorrow. that is going to be really hard to watch. there was a little girl in that classroom who remember we believed please stayed outside for about an hour while the gunman was continued to work in the to be in that classroom . she had a 10, had the sense to take blood off of her friend who had died and rub it all over her . so she could play dead for that hour and she survived. so she's going to testify before congress to morrow and is, i can't imagine what she's going to have to say or how impact impactful her words will be. there are also going to hear from parents who lost their child in that mass shooting. so that's the house side, the house is likely gonna pass those bills very easily. finished on the senate side, they're not going to pass the house bill. they're not going to do those restrictions. we've got a bipartisan group of senators that have been talking their tailor doing things much far below what matthew move,
2:23 am
how to hate was saying needs to be done. but that could encourage states to pass red flag laws that could possibly do background checks for kit people between the ages of 18 and 21 who want to buy an assault weapon. so they're looking at a much narrow set of responses, but they are in fact still talking and they said that they could have an agreement soon, but they're not putting any time frame on it. ok, particle hand life force in washington dc with that. thank you. now police in brazil have opened a criminal investigation to the disappearance of an indigenous expert and the british journalist they went missing in the amazon rain forest. bruno pereira, a brazilian specialist on isolated tribes, was with don phillips, who was on a reporting trip. they were in an area where indigenous groups are on the threats from illegal activity reports. his sister is pleading for their safe return. we are really worried about him and urged you already in brazil to do all 8 kath search
2:24 am
the roots. he is following. if anyone can help scalar resources available for the search, that would be great because time is crucial. here in the u. k. my other brother and i are desperately worried. we love our brother. and once he and his brazilian guide, bruno pereira found every minute counts. how to 0 media network continues to demand a rapid, independent and transparent investigation into the killing of its journalist and occupied westbank. sheen or clay was shot in the head by israeli forces while she was on assignment in janine on the day of her funeral is really forces storm the procession and started beating mourners, causing paul bears to almost drop her casket. that didn't stop thousands of palestinians from marching through occupied these jerusalem to take part in her funeral and burial. members of the international community have condemned her killing and continue to call for investigation. a claim was with al jazeera for 25
