the art against them. brent: we bring in an expert from d.c. the crisis in venezuela is not new. what is behind the latest search in migrants trying to cross into chile? >> this is something that has been happening since 2015 when the region has welcomed migrants from venezuela and other countries. countries have engaged in multilevel efforts to assist and integrate them. it is an international public issue. migrants tend to fall into three different categories. those who have settled, those who are in transit to neighboring countries and the circular markers who are like back and forth migrants. the pandemic has also affect and impacted each of these types

of migrants differently. national lockdown's have negatively locked -- impacted those who stay in the country. circular migrants are getting stuck at checkpoints and increasingly forcing them to cross illegally. we studied this phenomenon and wait recommend that there are three measures that should be taken into consideration. the region should acknowledge each category of migration and plan an acute policies accordingly -- plan and execute policies accordingly. they should appeal to the international community to address the issues caused by the pandemic. there should be salt medication strategies to make sure that the information about policies reaches the right audiences. brent: these suggestions, what

do they mean for the xenophobia that is waiting at the border? >> i think that this is something that has to do with the fact that disseminating information about policies. that should be one of the key priorities in this whole crisis. successful communication creates appropriate channels and those targeting migrants, and stakeholders. at a government level the local administrations should maintain close contact of each other's needs. citizens should be informed about the effects of the regional approach in order to address any type of concerns. two profile migrants fairly and accurately and prevent xenophobic reactions. >> is this a case where the chileans see the venezuelans come across the border, they will come in and take away jobs?

>> i do not think so. this is a new wave of migration that is happening right now from venezuela. they are coming in from peru. they lost their life point and they are looking for a new country to settle in right now. as of the statistics we have seen, migration itself does not contribute to a community and populations taking jobs away from them. rather it boosts the economy and helps development challenges as well in the receiving countries. i think it is a great opportunity for using migration as a booster to the economy.

to support development challenges in the region. brent: we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. >> thank you. brent: facebook plans to hire people in the european union took crate a new computing platform called the "metaverse." the plan is an immersive virtual reality where users can interact for everything from work to social situations such as concerts. technology companies have been exploring the concept in recent years. mark zuckerberg has quoted the embodied internet. -- called it the embodied internet. stephen from our business desk is here now. tell me what it is and i am suspicious. >> imagine your newsfeed, if
