this is hardly ever seen in latin america. these are just myths please bear in mind here the media power was and it probably is in the greater than the political power. in fact it usually has self-serving political economic social power and above all the informative power this political moment. and it is the big voters the powerful legislators see the mighty judges the have set the media agenda this this way they have subdued governments presidents and courts. let's stop the train this image of poor and courageous journalists saying like media trying to tell the truth and tyrants autocrats and dictators trying to hinder that when it isn't true is the other way round the governments trying to do something for the majority of the people are persecuted by journalists who think that by having a pen and a microphone log they can direct even their resentment against you so much they often insult and slander out of sheer dislike what they mean these are mass media serving someone's private interests. it's not about anti bacteria beca

people think about the united states and its involvement in latin america and in ecuador. well as ever says the only country that can be sure never to have a coup d'etat is the united states because it hasn't got a us embassy. in any event i'd like to say one of the reasons that led to police discontent it was the fact that we cut all the funding the us embassy provided to the police. for and even a year after we took office we took a while to correct this before there were whole police units key units fully funded by the us embassy his offices in command were chosen by the us ambassador and paid by the us and so we have increased considerably the police's pay however as their salaries were coming from somewhere else they didn't even notice we did away with all that but there are some who still long for those times which will never come back although relating to the us has always been a relationship based on affection and friendship you know but in the framework of mutual respect and sovereignty yes i lived in the us for four years have two academic degrees from there i lo

gonzalo mentioned this and i just want to point out take a look at latin america that's combined with the middle east and africa contributes more to global g.d.p. then the e.u. and what you're looking at there is just the e.u. fifteen that's not even the broader twenty seven nations that make up the european union so the impact of this is stands to just be much more severe now let's go back again to latin america because i want to show you some pictures from chile and one thousand nine hundred three from protests from water cannons being shot at students from the unrest that was going on there as a result of all of this only there was a military dictatorship there so let's talk to gonzalo layer and see what we can draw from those experiences to figure out what we're going to be looking at across the pond and a who knows what in the u.s. because we know that the global impact of this is going to be significant so. compare chile in one thousand nine hundred three what you experience what was going on in latin america tell us what happened after these defaults and what you think we can c

say so what is this going to look like well that's all a lira says he has seen this all before in latin america he'll take us back to chile a in one thousand nine hundred eighty three will be joining us live from santiago and u.s. president barack obama held a press conference today about the headwinds facing this country for carious economy take a listen. right now one concern is europe which faces a threat of when newt was censured as countries deal with the financial crisis. now while europe is the u.s. is the largest trading partner he pointed out there to detailing the threats posed from the trouble brewing across the atlantic but is the euro zone crisis also helping the u.s. perversely we'll explain finally from bunker timeshare plans to deflation to customers down under from m.f. global australia we'll hear from our viewers all around the world and respond in your feedback let's get to today's capital account. let's see what's new in the eurozone crisis saga. spain needs a bailout the country may ask for one as early as tomorrow now there are conflicting reports and comments comi

it's just that an unsustainable ride well we may have a road map maybe we just need to look south to latin america we're talking about indebted countries that can't pay back their debts i.m.f. programs austerity yeah we've seen it all before but here to lay out just how and why this actually is a comparison we can and should look to is going to follow lira he is in chile he's founder and president of the s.p. group and he is going to lay it all out for us so first of all gonzalo thank you so much for being on the show i'm really excited i don't know if that's the right word because obviously we're we're dealing with some high stakes here but i really do think that this is an important thing to lay out so first of all thanks for being here. it's a pleasure being on glee for having me absolutely so let's just start with what you see as the fundamental problem in the euro zone and that regardless of what angela merkel or mario drive your anyone else says they are not solving or addressing which use the is the deflationary death spiral so lay that out for us why is this that the core problem w

is also waging war and latin america last saturday d.h. shot and killed a drug suspect in a remote area of honduras this happened only weeks after hundreds of police advised by the da called for innocent civilians traveling by boat it's all part of an aggressive drug enforcement strategy called operation and bill in which a team of dea agents along with six u.s. state department helicopters are working with the honduran police to fight the drug war the u.s. tonight is responsibility for the latter but the incident has raised concerns about u.s. involvement in the region we know that the u.s. has handed a lot of countries around the world but you know there are currently a ton of bases in latin america and there's still more developing so should the u.s. be interfering with these countries to fight the drug war talk more about this now i'm joined by adrian keene professor at american university thanks so much for coming in so let's take a look really quickly at the violence happening in hundreds right now some say that it's the most dangero

latin america is doing very well right now. it's one of the few reasons that is growing and weathered the economic storm and created innovative policy models. i want to give you one example. that's brazil. brazil is the only brick that has decreased in equality over the past five years. many of you may be familiar with u the brazil traditional cash tran fer program. in brazil, it started out as a program, and it's now grown significantly. they have launched a new component of it that. behind the program it's to target the poorest of the poor in the country. so the previous conditional cash transfer programs essentially took people who are very -- who are lower income and moved many of them into the middle class. interestingly, when we think about development, out comes many of the middle class, these newly middle class brazilians. their first investment items, they are investing first in education for their children and then second they are investing in personal computers for education for their children. when you are giving pe

is also waging war and latin america last saturday the d.h. shot and killed a drug suspect in a remote area of honduras this happened only weeks after hundreds of police advised by the da killed four civilians traveling by boat it's all part of a new aggressive drug enforcement strategy called operation and bill in which a team of d.n.a. agents along with six u.s. state department helicopters are working with the police to fight the drug war now the u.s. tonight has responsibility for the latter but the incident has raised concerns about u.s. involvement in the region so should the u.s. be interfering with these countries to fight the drug war talk more about this i was joined earlier by adrian pyne a professor at american university your first discussed increasingly high homicide rate in honduras. in particular its jump since the coup in two thousand and nine which the us supported by basically by funding and approving fraudulent and violent elections carried out by the same military that carried out the coup and and then continuing the farce

engages latin america countries, it's often in the military. one of the challenges and missed opportunities is a lot of that discussion is based around a market and demand for a product that's here in the united states. it's really kind of inefficient to deal with that demand only by engaging latin america and we see the trafficking problem has gone from the south and is getting closer and closer to the north. i would encourage more strategic aid. again, i look at brazil as a wonderful example of that. i would love to hear a conversation here in the united states about how to eliminate extreme poverty in our country. i think these are bold plans and bold models. i see these as two things that have to go together. when i started working in international development, my father is a social woerk. my family said why are you working oversaes. there's so many problems right here in the united states. why do you have to go somewhere else? i said it's the fact that i understand the situation and the problems and the grassroots perspective. i can use th

as erika miller explains, some latin american countries may be relatively well positioned to weather the global downturn. >> reporters: it has nothing to with how far away latin american countries are europe, but their positions financially. over the past few years, many have built up big rainy-day funds. and some, like peru, have government debt levels that are small relative to their economic outputs. >> it's debt burden is actually lower today than it was in 2008. we are talking about a 20% of g.d.p. compare that with 80 to 90% of g.d.p. we see these days in the developed world. >> reporter: chile's government debt is even lower: only about 10% of g.d.p., and it has the highest credit rating in latin america. >> this is really a country with a very long track record of macroeconomic stability. its policy framework is very strong. >> reporter: but if the crisis in europe escalates, the eurasia group believes mexico will be one of the better emerging market bets. >> we have a new president coming on board that is going to assume office in december. and we think that the reforms that

do you know that latinas come from latin america or where our families have come from latin america, where banks have defaulted, where we live in cash societies. where someone like me could not grow up to be like me. i could never be an entrepreneur in some other latin-american country. so we come here in gratitude and hard work. when we hear things about poverty, and our relation to poverty, it's a little shocking because we don't live in a state of mind of poverty, we think it's a transitional thing. we have been in and out of poverty for generations and it doesn't mean we're stuck there. i think that's very important. latinos do not see ourselves as stuck in poverty, ever. we are working toward the american dream and that's why we came here and we will do whatever it takes. and latin women, the reason wall street is so after latin moms is they took the same staticstics about policy. where was the good number? that's very important. and the number they found is that in the middle of the worst economy in the united states, when everything was horrible. when latinos were in the worst

latin america is doing very well right now. as many of you know, latin america is one of few regions that's growing, that's weathered the economic storm. it's created innovative policy models. i want to give you one example and that's brazil. brazil is the only brick that has decreased in equality over the past five years. many you have may be familiar with the brazil conditional cash transfer program. in brazil it started out as a program. it's growing. they have launched a new component. the idea behind the program is to target the poorest of the poor in the country. the previous conditional cash transfer programs took people who were very, who were lower income and moved many of them into the middle class. interestingly when we think about development outcome, many of these middle class, they're first investment items, they are investing first in education for their children and second they are investing in personal computers for education use for their children. when you're giving people an opportunity to access financial r

it was very interesting, not only because the rest of the world discovered latin american literature, but because latin americans discovered that they had a literature of their own, that was, until then i would say, very isolated and concentrated in very, very small minorities. this has changed very much since-- very, very much. >> brown: the peruvian-born vargas llosa helped lead the way with novels that explored contemporary latin american life and politics, from comedy to tyranny, as well as its layers of history. his new novel, titled "the dream of the celt," paints on an even wider canvas. it's based on a real-life character, an irishman named roger casement, who in the early 1900s went to the belgian congo and, later, the amazon, and wrote scathingly of colonialism's abuses and horrors. >> i think the great merit of roger casement is that he was a first european denouncing this, and denouncing this not as an exceptional phenomenon but as a natural consequence of what colonialism is in its roots. >> when you have a real life character, and you've done this before to great effect,

vargas llosa says that, for latin american writers of his generation, literature was never an isolated endeavor. >> we were trained as writers with the idea that literature is something that can change reality, that it's not just a very sophisticated entertainment, but a way to act. today, these ideas have disappeared practically among the new generation. now, the young writers consider that it's too pretentious to think that literature can produce this kind of thing. but when i was young, when i started to write, we were totally convinced that literature was a kind of weapon. >> do you still think that? let's say with less naivete, with less optimism than back when i was young. but still, i don't accept the idea that literature can be just entertainment and that there is no consequences of literature in the real world. if this is true, i think gives the writer a kind of responsibility that is not only literary but also moral. >>rown: all right, mario vargas llosa, nice to talk to you. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> woodruff: again, the major developments of the day: may was the

i found in a old latin classical latin dictionary it had exactly that double meaning in ancient fine. finif meant goal, purpose and so i think what i'm thinking that is finance -- my definition of finance is it's about financing activities. making things happen. that means allowing people to achieve their goal, if you democracyize finance, different people have different goals. some are religious groups some are hospitals. you know, some people want to see scientific progress different people have different goals. we want to make it possible to achieve those goals. so another example, i mention this in the book, you have a child who was handy capped and the child is going to live longer than you. you want to protect the child. what are you going to do? the child is unable to take care of themselves. you want to create a trust. you can go to a trust company and say i want you to manage this economy account for my child after i'm gone. they do that. it's part of modern finance. it's one example of the kind of goals people have. most of our important goals in life take that form. i can't

america if you look at the sort of technological adoption in latin america it's somewhere like the u.s. force in the nineteen seventies. and it is that is the political and social interaction that is occurring in the states as a result of the technological interactions that are occurring so perhaps it is simply not possible for more industrialized countries to adopt a model of listen to australia's country would we have to throw away the industrialisation to do it i don't think so i mean most of these western states a very happily become dean dust realized and made china into de dominant economic bar in the world like the british were in the nineteenth century and china is the workshop of the world there's been a huge increase the actual work force while declining in the way us has trebled from one billion in the seventy's and eighty's to over three billion today because of what's happening in china india bouts of south america so i think the so-called advance spouses have a lot to learn from the good things that have been happening in south america why not only is there a model a prac

now, that's an extraordinary statement from a latin american leader, particularly in nicaragua. this young boy came with his mother, they walked three days to come to an eye clinic. he was very near-sighted. they put the vision goggles on him, and for the first time, he looked around and he said, "mom, i see the world." that delivers security. now, that's a terrific story about a real human moment. but in the end, it has a pragmatic effect, which is to help deliver security by demonstrating compassion and competence along with the capability to conduct more traditional military operations. next, please. and this is a view of the world according to twitter. if you look closely, you will see purple lines which are tweets, the density, the darker the purple. you'll see green lines, which are geolocations of twitter users. the white is the synthesis of those two. it is, in effect, the points of intersection between the social network and the physical world. i show it to you first of all, it's an interesting way to look at the world and regions that are developed in this sense and le
