let's go back to our top stories, the arrest of la tuta gomez. a few months ago he said that his group was a necessary evil, and if they weren't there another group would come. in light of that, how much safer is the area now that gomez has been arrested? >> what we have to understand is this has been carefully stage managed, this is more of a show man than substance. very little is likely to change on the ground as a result of this arrest, notwithstanding the government's wish that that be so. what we're looking at here is this is a kind of accommodation as to territory in patrol of la tuta's absence. other cartels will emerge. perhaps rival groups, and essentially the situation on the ground will stay the same. shortly what is likely is the short to medium run is there will be more violence. this is a victory but an empty victory from that perspective. it changes nothing in terms of the overall power of impunity and corruption, and in fact, criminality on the part of the government reflected in cases like the 43 missing students. >> la tuta had
