i am not romanticizing latin america. i am fully aware that america--latin america is the most unequal region in america. but something is different. >> host: why would you say that is? >> guest: the first saying is empire. latin america, the most conquering and invading country, africa and the middle east and so on and let america left this moment. and so this is all contingent. it could change, right leaning governments come into power and so on and they have to find themselves against war on terror policy refusing to partaking war on terror policy. so the cultural side effect of this policy, i look at brazil and they would make it sort of a central political position stating solidarity to the muslim communities protecting them from war on terror policies, refusing when donald rumsfeld said he wanted to create a region wyatt patriot act and so on and refused so on one hand you have the government adopted the position of solidarity, cultural diplomacy that stresses brazil's ties to africa and asia and this whole idea is

but what you said about latin america is very significant.long ago, latin america was what was called the backyard: they did whatever we said. in strategic planning, very little was said about latin america, because they were under our domination. if we don't like something that happens, we install a military dictatorship or carry -- back huge massacres and so on. but basically they do what we say. last 10 or 15 years, that's changed. and it's a historic change. for the first time in 500 years, since the conquistadors, latin america is moving toward degree of independence of imperial domination and also a degree of integration, which is critically important. and what you just described is one striking example of it. in the entire world, as far as i know, only a few latin american countries have taken an honorable position on this issue: brazil, chile, peru, ecuador, el salvador have withdrawn ambassadors in protest. they join bolivia and venezuela, which had done it even earlier in reaction to other atrocities. that's unique. and it's not the

revenue, latin america is 15%. thatu've got countries could generate problems. >> there are two other themes here. shrankbad loan charges to $1.8 billion down from $3 billion. the costs are rising. his investment banking revenue has dropped $700 million. take away the noise. bank has-capitalized good geographic distribution of a couple of hot spots to keep an eye on, one is latin america. pointond and equally sore is asia. filled -- here talking about banks. the financial crisis is still here with us. we still have so much more news to get through. thank you very much. let's turn to the situation in the middle east. last -- leftours in the cease-fire. let's go to tel aviv for the latest. the cease-fire is interesting. unilateral grade the israelis are saying we are just going to figure out what our objectives are and decide what to do after that. >> right. weekendelis since this disputed this cease-fire breach. israel said that hamas reached it. hamas essentially tried to capture a soldier. don't trustthat we hamas

so the problem in latin america, i'm not talking from the world bank. we have changes in the government and sometimes when you are building something you destroy something >> just to answer quickly on the children. in terms of what some -- so the children already have some blood relatives here. and so it could be a mom or dad or uncle or aunt. doesn't have to be an immediate parent. but so what is hang is they are being placed in housing site run by institutions like heartland aligns that gets federal dollars from hhs and they are waiting trial. they are awaiting trial for their court preegged. and what we as advocates are seeing is that because the children are now being given access to legal counsel, initially there are some children who have been deported because of this hard line approach to the coming of the children in large numbers from central america, appearing tough on illegal migration if you will. that was being swept under the carpet. the immediate due process of that. kid were not being given. so it's not until now that providers and legal

. >>> the palestinian foreign minister is on a tour of latin america, trying to shore up support. he seems to find it. five latin american nations recalled ambassadors to israel and people are taking to the streets to show solidarity with the people of gaza. >> reporter: from mexico to patta gownia, latin america is closing ranks in solidarity with gaza. chile, home to a large palestinian community outside the middle east, the ambassador has been recalled. ecuador, and brazil have done the same. >> translation: it is because to us the number of children, women and elderly killed seems to us disproportional. >> other leftist governments go furthers, accusing israel of genocide. >> but it's not just political support. here in venezuelan, a nationwide campaign to help gaza yielded 250 tonnes of food, medicine and clothing. these children are making toys for their palestinian counterpart, as venezuela perhaps to become the first country in the next few weeks to receive an undetermined number of orphans and children from gaza. >> they offered to open a special clinics and homes for the

we are seeing a growing demand for latin american food.haps it is seen healthier than traditional american fast food. you don't just want to own a stock in a company that's muy caliente. you want to own the ones with the best prospects. tonight we are going south of the border focusing on chipotle, jack in the box, el pollo loco. so which is the best latin american chain? honestly, this isn't even a contest. we all know the strongest player is chipotle. just when you thought they couldn't rally anymore than it has, the expectations got so high no way management could blow them out of the water, they go and deliver the best quarter in years. a truly spectacular figure. 17.3%. i mean, that's unprecedented. 17.3%. for a chain with 1,700 stores and $4 billion in annual sales. it is the real bread winner in this base. not only the best latin american restaurant. it's the best restaurant, period. that said, here's the issue. if you don't already own it, i still think you can wait for a pullback to pull the trigger. because you don't want to chas

and there's a very important lesson if you're working in latin america. so i thought that was just the right poetic thing to lean across and say you do not want to be that rooster. now, i thought i made my point, but it wasn't tony's script, and they didn't leave even though i had a large bag beside the menacing message. a week later jimmy carter was at the table negotiating with the general, and they were not budging. and he received a message from the president of the united states saying you should leave the meeting. and he kept jawboning. and we were ready. the cia was ready with its covert action capabilities, and the planes were off, taking off from the runway in florida, and a spotter notified the negotiators, and they folded on the spot. and the dictator, the chief of police specifically, went to florida. where else would you go if you're a dictator and you're on the run? he got on the radio, and he said, oh, they sent this menacing guy down who threaten today kill me, my wife and my chirp. now, i promise you i never said anything about the wife a
