my question was to the latin americans, looking now back at that era of revolution in latin america, which is pretty much over, at least in our generation, what do you think we came out of it with? >> guest: with the certitude, i told you before, that history does not and. when history says goodbye, it is saying see you tomorrow, so and let america, now growing new forces coming energies better changing reality, so in bolivia, in venezuela, in ecuador, a plain common sense, a common sense. for instance, the president says we are not going to pay-- foreign debt and lessig is approved that the foreign debt is real, because most of the foreign debt has imprison their latin american countries. they never existed, or they are the result of the generosity of the international institutions like the international world bank and so on, and the great big bankers. they were so generous with their military dictatorships to finance repression, and the question coming from them is, why should people pay for the stick that bit him or her, and why should people finance the corruption of the politici

latin america is in many ways a victim, but i don't, don't think of it as it pessimistic book, and i wanted to ask you as the final statement about your sense of optimism in this is true that you say is still unfolding. >> guest: a source of optimism is the certitude that history does not and, and also the certitude that we may be contemporaries and compatriots of people born far away from your country, and far away from your time. if you share with them a common love for justice and freedom, like happened with my two masters, who were born in the united states and not in latin america, mark twain and ambrose peers. i remember mark twain was the leader of the anti-imperialists league and he proposed to change the star spangled banner when the united states began the imperial avent through the time of president mckinley, who heard the voice of god saying, you should be summoned from the danger of the philippines. so, they initiated a long career, we will know and you know perhaps better than i. >> host: thank you very much. eduardo galeano is the author of "mirrors" stories of almost

we connect you with what's important right now in latin america. i want to start with what secretary of state, hillary clinton said yesterday after meeting with ousted president zelaya. she says he will now meet with the interim president, roberto micheletti. a meeting that's going to be hosted by him. oscar arias, the president of costa rica, who knows diplomacy very well. he has won a nobel peace prize back in the 1980s for brokering peace. he is considered credible by most. hovering in the background on this story is hugo chavez, who wants hon do youriduras to take turn and he wants zelaya back in. some hondurans see him as a pickup pet. would he send some of his own people, venezuelans, into honduras to infiltrate the protests. would he mess with the affairs of another sovereign country. this woman, in venezuela, said she was asked to do just that and she says, there are thousands of others who have also been asked to do the same thing.

china's expansion into latin america in a nutshell.while they're moving to africa has been more publicized, china is also carving out a huge sphere of influence in other underdeveloped countries. let's start in brazil, south america's biggest economy. china has surpassed the united states as that country's biggest trade partner, but that's not all. china is gobbling up hard assets like copper from chile, iron ore from br zil and zinc from peru. it is shipping busses to cuba, cars to peru and clothes to mexico. all this has catapulted taid between china and latin america from $10 billion at the turn of the millennium to $240 billion last year. unlike the u.s. which asks for more ooh transparency from its partners, china isn't so ideologically hamstrung. china has also not established a military presence in the evening john and thanks to its trillion dollar surpluses, china has become a major lender to latin america, spending tens of billions in the evening john. experts say the next two or three years could see the end of u.s. dominance

now, we can do it without knowing greek and latin. obviously, it is much better to new greek and latin, much richer, but we have wonderful english translations today. they did back then, too, but not to the extent that we do today. that makes it easier for us to go back to the sources that these rich veins i think need to be tapped into. after all, why are the classics? they are classics -- we call them classics because they have survived a very rigorous process that i called literary natural selection. i do not use the terms frivolously. i really mean it. how do these things survive? for centuries before print, enough people, many people decided that these things are so valuable that they would devote years of their lives to copying them laboriously by hand. these were societies that were centuries removed from greece and rome, and yet, they felt that these classics are so valuable that they devote their lives to copy them. that is why they have survived. that is why we tend to look at greece and rome and see the excellence. there wa

latin america and africa. it is there a policy about those two? we look at what's happening in ho honduras and when the president went there and president chavez handing him books to read. >> this president obviously has a special connection to africa since his father came from kenya. >> charlie: and many say bush 43 that was his one best moment was his attitude about africa. >> but whatever his sentimental ties the president has to deal with what lands on his desk. he may believe that latin america and africa are more important than they have been treated as being in the past but in politics and government as in other aspects of life, the urgent drives out the important as long as the united states does not face a threat or crisis emanating from africa or latin america, these two continents will get less attention than the place where's the crisis are brewing. >> charlie: martha. >> i couldn't agree more. they really are on the back burner. president obama talked about africa and you're right about president bush and his administration and the wo

ming "open veins of latin america", a textbook on anatomy. in the books of venison and not forbidden with back after this short time they realized it was not exactly this. >> host: apropos of of being burned i wanted to on anecdote that i read the book soon after it came out one and my recollection is that i have the book with me when i was in chile in 1973 when the military coup overthrew the government of salvador and i stay on for six years to write about the pinochet who dictatorship. in him that a buck, your book, i think this is a distinction, would have been among the books now have to burn in order to same chilly along with all the books about the government, the democratically lintas socialist president of chile who was overthrown with and introduced 17 years of dictatorship by the right wing pinochet that regime. one and that was an amazing new experience that books for our and america and the like me would that books would be burned and that an honor to staining country you had to perjure library so i think that is a distinction th

to a new relationship between the two americas, north america and latin america. friendship instead of leadership because leadership was the plan you described in your book come is spreading military dictatorships all over in the name of democracy, and the name of i don't know what, in the name of leadership. the northern countries have a right to take the examination of the other countries and say are you democratic or not? are you behaving well or not? like a professor and a people. so, these are words i don't like it all. >> we are almost ready to wrap up and i wanted to note that, in many ways, "mirrors" is a very dark book in many ways. there is a lot of very terrible things told in this book.

the ceo for i shares latin america. he is with barclays global.ster of economy and finance. great to have both of you with us. let me start with you, daniel, since you're launching the exchange traded fund. it's very mining heavy. if you get into this exchange trade fund it's safe to say you're betting on mining stock. >> you're betting on the fastest growing economy of latin america. peru has been sustainable over the past ten years. the fastest growing gdp and economy. it's been on average over the past seven years peaked 7%. >> one thing i remember from peru, you do see mining everywhere. you see it along the edge of the rivers, as you're flying over. it is a big part of the economy. what else does peru rely on outside mining? >> well, not only mining but construction, manufacturing. it's a very dynamic economy. as daniel said, it is the fastest growing economy in the region. and right now in the middle of the crisis, peru is expected to grow. >> most of the focus of latin american investment right now is on -- brazil. do you find that to be a

and dimitri medvedev and his predecessor vladimir putin has exported russia's military presence to latinrica, our backyard. with medvedev it's a fleet of 1,600 naval officers and conducting exercises late last year off the ven venezuelan coasts and using venezuela and cuba for bases for strategic bombers. russia is now supplying $150 million in military helicopters to bolivia. and $4 billion, repeat, $4 billion in military hardware to venezuela. both bolivia's morales and chavez are tight with russia and with each other. question, what advantage does this mutual nuclear warhead agreement give to the u.s.? >> not much at all, john. i hope we're not going to cut delivery systems. i'm less worried about warheads. let me say this. what you put up there is russians are clearly reacting to what we did in the 1990s. reagan, of course, called it the evil empire and was being patted on the back in red square. we had a tremendous relationship. we moved nato into their front porch and into their backyard. we've tried to cut them out of the oil of the caspian. we put missiles in eastern europe, anti

in this environment, in my latin american subcontinent, but we have advanced a lot. we have restructured many state institutions. it has contributed to-- it has contributed to improved services for the community. for instance, if you visit our capital city, you see that we have performed the public hospitals that used to belong to the national agency for social security. they were a disaster prior to this administration and now with the reform, they have improved a lot. now we have many reforms for the coming month. one reform that is going on in congress is a new law to introduce much more speed in the provisions of the administration. we are in a process to create a great level of-- for congress to finally approved a reform. in the coming three weeks, my government is going to issue a decree to produce a structure in the national agency for intelligence, to cure this agency of its endemic problems. i hope in the coming three weeks my fellow country's citizens and the international community will see this decrease. we continue in the process of introducing reforms f

but he was not just a cuban, friends and stories from costa rica, mexico, other parts of latin america and across the country, the dow york times did 25 or 30 pieces on him during the 72 days every second or third day there was a article on luning, the trial, the consequences, "the washington post" did about 20. miami, new orleans, kansas city, all of the major newspapers have one or two or three or four, a christian science monitor, they were concerned about this guy because nelson rockefeller in january 1945 i am 43, after luning was dead did a piece in the weekend magazine the sunday magazine of a three or four page item with pictures in which she talked about luning sixth of reckons as a master spy. it was a self congratulatory we just destroyed the master spy of the new world. so they were very much attuned to him and what he was doing. i think i will leave it there. i have stuff about the literary aspects of people who made novels but i want to make sure we have time for questions. if you're interested in some of the literary aspects you'll have to ask. >> i just have a couple of

number one, how fragile democracy is here in the region, in latin america. this is because we haven't seen a coup d'etat in latin america since the situation we witnessed in 2003. it has been a very stable region since then. we haven't seen anything like that. and, number two, the relations that the united states is having right now with latin america and with especially hugo chavez, president of venezuela. we know that the continent is pretty much divided between the countries that support chavez and the countries that oppose mr. chavez, and he's leaning to leftist governments. so mr. zelaya recently has been seen as somebody that is leaning towards this venezuelan point of view about how things are -- have to be made and have to be managed in those countries, don. >> as we look at those amazing pictures that were coming out of that airport today, luis carlos, just pretty amazing stuff to look at, and the military blocking the runway or what have you. when you look at all of these people who were out there, is it really realistic for zelaya to think that he

latin america, it is not that far away but it seems that far away. go to the top with maria in new york city. she says, thank you for bringing out the truth about the real situation in honduras. under that, we see hugo chavez is like a castro want to be. >> we have heard that before. >>> we learned 15 minutes before our newscast we were going to be doing something different. we were planning to talk about health care reform anyway. suddenly, president obama has a very big problem on his hands. guess what? a short time ago, we did get the word the president is going to be coming out and trying to explain this in his own words, the situation with health care, scrambling as we have been putting it. let me try and set the stage for you. i will be joined by dana bash in washington and sanjay gupta will be joining us as well. over and over again, barack obama has told us that rising health care cost is a long-term threat to our nation, which means we need to revolution nooiz the health care system in some way. there is the press making his case. i'm sorry.

bringing the world to us by talking about asia and africa and latin america and the connections betweenthe experience of different people. i think this is a book whose time has come because we need to reclaim this tradition especially for our young people who need this more than anything. and so that is all i want to say. this is a book for our time and this is a person who is legacy needs to be honored. >> that's wonderful and if i may add from paris and in the book you will see where harrison believed that intellectuals had to come down and makes amongst the people, and he was a leader in that and he spoke as many document in certain weeks he spoke as many as 23 times a week, morning, noon and night. crowds of thousands of appearing at some of the rallies and at one talk recorded in "the new york times" he went into the third hour speaking downtown at broad and wall street on socialism in front of the stock exchange. just extraordinary. komozi, i think you can probably phyllis and better than most on harrison's place in the tradition of black radical activists and intellectuals. i wou

back in the '60s and '70s, latin american was full of coup d'etat i, myself, lived through many of them. but, reading any text of political science, one finds that the coup d'etat's have some characteristics. one, the military seized power and they take power or they do a civic military coup d'etat. second, they abolish the other powers or the branches of government. certainly congress and sometimes even the judiciary. third, the constitution is abolished or is subject to whatever the military regime wants. fourth, usually there is a bloodbath that occurs with the takeover of the military. in this case, we have a very typical situation. one, the military are not in power. there is a civilian ruling the country, the military have returned to the barracks. second, the three branches of government are functioning. the congress that was elected four years ago with president zelaya, the judiciary with its 15 members and the branch of government, executive branch of government that was elected by congress in this case, 124 votes out of 128. the constitution is fully in charge. nobody has ques
