of the venezuelan there's been perfect continuity between the bush and the obama administration on latin america and the general policy is they don't want any of you know they pretend to like the brazilian government because it's too big but if you actually look at what they've done there in two thousand and five they actually tried to they organize an attempt to weaken the workers' party government through the state department and we got documents on there from the freedom of information act so they don't really like any of the left government and they do see that whole region as getting a little when they were getting a little far afield here if i go to ari i mean kerry secretary of state kerry said people may die because of snowden. what's that all about. i think from i would say this again i i think what snowden done is important level i think it's also pretty clear that you know when you when you governments in general including the american governments have an important role to play in national security some of that requires secrecy it's certainly true all governments around the wo

american country plenty of all the choices full and well i think that latin america has shown that it doesn't want to be america's you know client state anymore many of those countries down there are are taking the opportunity to to assert themselves in multiple ways and ecuador has already shown that by granting julian a sign just siloam in the embassy in london so these are i think many latin american countries are asserting their own independence now which we didn't see last century let's talk about whistleblowers themselves manning snowden they face very difficult few choose their fates did they not put off potential future whistle blows or is it just simply going to encourage more. i think it's simply going to encourage more. to be honest i mean well look at look we have we have we have it growing up and up it up step by step and step you have somebody that's inside the national security state who's known fully what happened to bradley manning and if you talk to people who are in the military if you talk to people in the navy if you talk to people in the army you know that there

i believe that, yes, the president of argentina has aspirations to be a leader in latin america, and she admires the chavez model. she won't be able to use it in argentina because it's a different type of society. there are many elements in. society, many more counterbalances. chavez had the advantage of having oil, and having the monopoly on oil'm basically. in the case of argentina, there are so many conflicts there, so much position, but certainly i think kersher in is trying to strengthen the executive power, even having reforms that actually limit the action of civil society, perfectly against the press, limitations on judicial power. has to are all initiatives have been brought a few weeks ago. i think tried in past 'omediate. tried to mediate between the jewish community and chavez. i believe that at the continenttle level, the leader of the ma -- if somebody is going to be the leader of the bolivarran country, this is rafael coral from ecuador. christina kisrn re, i don't know. coral is following the blueprint of chavez. the design of the government is to perpetrate itself. s

but i really -- of the latin labels, the record companies, started using different terms for it.ut for me it was always chicano music and that's been 50 years now. >> when you use the word chicano you have to be able to back it up. it's one of those powerful words. what credentials do you have to say you are a chicano? >> you're so right. in so many cases, you know, we've all been painted with hispanics or latinos with the same brush, which is we're all people, but for me, chicano is a way to identify ourself. you get pulled over by the man and hey, i'm hispanic, but you could be from argentina or colombia, or any way. when you say chicano you know you're mexican-american or should be. that's a way of me identifying myself and the music itself is what the mexican americans can continue to work with and develop. it's bilingual, bicultural. a lot of times by myself if i don't do it right. it is also a state of mind, but really it's to identify mexican-americans because we're all latinos and hispanics, puerto rican or cuban or using that world or labeling ourselves. >> i think back

looking at it from the surface i would strongly advise him to go to latin america. latin america has shown in the past ten years that it is really pushing forward in human rights. there's a long tradition of assu asyl asylum. >> add russia to the list. the country would consider a question but he says no request has been made. >>> you're looking here at turkish riot police taking on protesters in the heart of istanbul. protesters were throwing molotov cocktails. police responded with tear gas. arwa is in the scare. tell me what you're seeing. >> reporter: this situation has changed pretty dramatically throughout the day. the clashes began at 8:00 in the morning and there was a fairly intense back and forth where the riot police would move in firing tear gas, water cannons and at one point using rubber bullets trying to clear the square. right behind me that is park. it took on a life of its own. now we're actually seeing demonstrators flood in and riot place staying fairly on the outskirts. we were speaking to one of the commanders who told us -- >> arwa, you can se

we're doing a project with six editors in latin america to look at how wikileaks has played a role in their politics. >> the media got distracted by the personality issues with julian assange. it is a fascinating, dark, twisted story, whatever is true. " people got obsessed with it. >> that is what happens. >> we have a cover story on the kim kardashian wedding now. [laughter] >> you have to pay the bills. the serious side of kim kardashian. >> i do think it is a problem. we are undertaking a project next year, the kind of project inspired by the works project to have the team across the country of writers, artists, documentarians, photographers to document poverty in this country. it is the 40th anniversary of the book "the other america." we have this human-resources, people who want to do the project. they can do it in a way to tell the human stories. human stories are key. we can use the human stories to tell the story about the structural problems of poverty in the country so it has more than just a human interest quality. it could lead to change. it could lead to hearings. polit

but they have some of the strictest abortion laws in latin america. despite here fearful off camera pleas the authorities turned down her request. her mother says her daughter's life is at stake. >> i ask you please national assembly approve what my daughter is asking for. she wants to live for her son. she doesn't want to leave him alone. that's why i ask you as a mother don't let my daughter die. her life is in your hands. >> after seven weeks of deliberation that's drawn international attention their health minister has given doctors permission to carry out a cesarean section. this is a case that's divided the country. >> look, abortion is a business. they will always keep trying to implement it in this country. i don't know if they will succeed. but what i know is this. the vast majority are in favor of life. the life of all citizens, all people even if they are small, even if we can't see them, even if they are poor and vulnerable. >> in now that a compromise of sorts has been reached both groups may have been somewhat play kated. she will delive

. >> for more on the story, we talked to a professor of political science who focuses on latin america. i asked him what president maduro will do to help ease the shortage is in his country. >> he will do what a lot of venezuelan presidents did. he will import the goods -- he will try to import the goods that are missing, and he will accuse the opposition for creating this situation of under supply. the problem is that he has a very hard job because succeeding chavez is perhaps the worst job in venezuela. chavez was a very good entertainer, a political entertainer, and a good provider, at least for his people. they expect maduro to do the same thing. >> the opposition leader recently met with the colombian president. maduro has called that an affront. what do you make of it? >> he looks for additional support, which is quite difficult, because the latin american countries accepted the result of the april elections. what we will see now is -- will the government in caracas stay together? he is looking for additional support and look how he can improve his position, but the important que

more broadly speaking, many of orhave been chagrined troubled by the fact that we treated latin americae our backyard and we have to get better about that. and yet that is not an tied to who the players in washington. obama to thing for behave in a particular way. you referenced how attitudes are shifting in congress about how we treat mexico and our neighbors to the south. pre-k's it is not the state department that runs the relationship my it is congress and other divisions of other departments that matter. it doesn't matter, some of the things that matter for mexico to fall out on partisan lines but not everything. groups that have support immigration and others that are a bit more wary. dividessome of this infections instead of straight along party lines but issues will matter very strongly for mexico and where they go as the future. so world trade and the border and how we will improve the infrastructure. all those will matter for mexico and our relationship. tavis: how do we best navigate this on the road ahead? >> what we need to do is take mexico as a partner and not see it as a

same thing with the latin kings. they're little more strict, a little tighter and hispanic gangs in black jeans, but today there'll fractional eyes of the police department instead of investigating an organization has to investigate the crew so to speak of the vice lords and it's much more labor-intensive. that is directly contributed to the spike in violence. the other two things the end of public housing. public housing should've been ended, but the unforeseen result was that we took all these guys concentrated small areas, 1000 gang members and robert taylor homes all the way up in down state street are not distributed all over the south side to englewood, the suburbs of south holland, harvey, into the southwest side of chicago, chicago lawn police district. now they are everywhere. brought to you by the government. we've given everybody their fair share of gang members today because of that. their existing drug dealers. the other major part of this is the budget, the lack of money, the economy. this current admin

>> i certainly hope so.c i hope that we go all over latin america and mexico and, you know, europeans opening up what do you think of -- >> we had a very spirited conversation last night with some friends of mine about paula. and one of my friends is totally -- she's through. she's very upset with her. and she thinks -- and yet it's s so funny because my friends -- this was a lady of another race. and the rest of us are black and we're sitting there going, we're over it. >> yeah. >> you know? >> you're fine? >> well, we're not fine with it, but it's kind of like okay, let's move on because it happened so long ago. but we're done. because we're so used to it. it's like i'm sorry. okay? i'm sorry that she put herself in that kind of a position. but back in the day when, you know, the things were a little different and that word was just all over the place. >> right. >> it's a lot different. >> i felt very, very badly for her watching that. >> that's because you are a good soul. good soul, natalie. all the best with this new cd. >> thank you. >> all righty. the guy you'd never bring home

now the office and logo and creepy latin motto doesn't exist anymore exactly the way they rolled it outde-funding of that office may have taken away all those may have taken away all those trappings of the office but didn't take away the surveillance powers ascribed to that office. surveillance of communication and various transactions across the u.s. border and surveillance of communication activities inside the united states, even by u.s. citizens has all increased dramatically since 9/11, mostly under powers granted under the patriot act. while that does not seem to upset us as a nation in the abstract, every once in a while when we find out what it means in terms of privacy it does bug us and gets political traction. in 2004, john kerry was picked as the democratic nominee for president to try to make george w. bush a one term president. although it was john kerry's convention, the speech that stole the show was the keynote by u.s. senate candidate barack obama. at the apex of that great great speech he gave in 2004, then senate candidate barack obama referenced over one of these pr

washington has reportedly urged latin american countries not to offer edward snowden asylum but it from the free bradley manning support network is confident that ecuador among others would be willing to offer snowden refuge despite u.s. pressure to have very large. numbers of asylum like fifty some odd thousand not necessary political refugees but i think also that the genus one has also helped make a safe haven for those that are persecuted politically and i think it's a wonderful watershed moment or there was a big concert after it beyond these countries russia hong kong china venezuela and ecuador to protect edward snowden i think it's a very good initiative i think that all these countries know that the americans are not going to let up lightly and are going to exert a great amount of political pressure to have him extradited but i do hope in this new age of south american consciousness and new freedoms and so forth that they will step up to the plate and provide protection for edward snowden washington has revoked edward snowden's passport and said that he should be prevented from
