socialist policies have always managed to keep the economy growing one of the highest rates in latin america while still so cutting poverty through social programs and on me. he says are free elected plans to keep on doing the young people. he was we would like to give 5 more years of experience to bolivia so that it continues to grow economically to finish a great project plans like construction of roads and airports. but for the 1st time in a while there's a credible challenger. journalist and prominent intellectual and he's attacking his achilles' heel he's questionable commitment to democracy. in the last 13 years almost 14 there's too much it's too much injustice too much corruption and too much authoritarianism that's leading his towards a dictatorship. it all started with moralist his latest reelection bid after 3 terms in power he needed to change the constitution to run again. he called a referendum to let the people decide now really they said no then he did it anyway . and then outraged many and although there are 8 opposition candidates mrs become the figurehead for the disconten

latin america in general, tensions rising. it's incidents like this, risks like this that seemingly come out of nowhere that make it so fraught. yeah, last week with the turkish leader was a game changer for the day. when the newsgate comes out. it is what it is. it will be idiosyncratic to individual countries, currencies, and their markets. in general if the trade situation comes off the boil, we have maybe seen the top, temporarily, for the dollar, which will play well for emerging markets going into the rest of the year. i wonder, as we get headlines on we work, does it in at all oneigh sentiments? this is not a great time for any -- a great market for any company to go public. susan: there's a discrepancy there, i think the companies that are public, it's good for them, showing that we have rational valuation. i worry that we have created a bubble in the private equity market with these companies that are so huge waiting to go private. work, this with we perhaps softbank overstepped based on the valuation now and what the

well i mean it's not surprising actually because it has the highest income per capita in latin america but on the same time it's now we see the country and it's one of the most unequal countries in the o.e.c.d. so there's a lot of discontent and if you see how many people have to work to pay their bills how many people have to work to get a small pension and still work sometimes until they're 80 years old people who study one university study and they still have to pay the debts over 50 years so you can say well they have a high income per capita in chile that doesn't matter because there's still so much inequality and also the response of the authorities in these protests which would have been very violent of course deploying the army. you know just that has just provoked more violence and more aggressions by these protesters to truly and properly address inequality that'll take a little bit of time what is it that the government could do right now well you see that the government at this moment is really baffled by the amount and the violence and the grocer and the aggression of the

himself thatis and being from latin america himself that is clearly something that has been his focus of "donald — duck!" as the flak flies in the impeachment inquiry. the us president was bombarded by fellow republicans, too, after he abruptly announced he was bringing home us troops from northern syria. you don't have to be a cynic to think the timing might be connected with president trump's troubles at home which had been it's also a recep tayyip erdogan—pleasing move. turkey's president has long wanted to create what he calls a "safe zone"— a place to deposit the hundreds of thousands of refugees his country has been hosting — and by the way, to push syria's kurds away from his border. to president erdogan, kurds, almost without exception, are trouble — potential allies for turkey's own restive minority. this weekend president trump are saying he would be more than happy to negotiate a ceasefire between turkey and the syrian kurds, that is a case of trying to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted. the overnight news was, the idea was the kurds and north—eastern syria ha
