they have to include the other countries of latin america. the very minute effect of the action which has been taken this week on cuba's economy, i believe castro can replace those markets very easily through latin america, through europe, and through eastern europe. if the united states had stronger prestige and influence in latin america it could persuade as franklin roosevelt did in 1940 the countries of latin america to join in an economic quarantine of castro. that's the only way you can bring real economic pressure on the castro regime, and also the countries of western europe, canada, japan and the others. number three, castro is only the beginning of our difficulties throughout latin america. the big struggle will be to prevent the influence of castro spreading to other countries -- mexico, panama, bolivia, colombia. we're going to have to try to provide closer ties, to associate ourselves with the great desire of these people for a better life if we're going to prevent castro's influence from spreading throughout all of latin america

our security depends on latin america. looking at the situation in latin america pekin tended with what is going on today -- content with what is going on today? in order to pick up the support of the castro supporters in brazil? at the american conference the summer, when we wanted them to join together in the denunciation of castro and the cuban communist, we couldn't even get the inter-american group to join together in denouncing castro. it was rather a vague statement they made. today, the russians broadcast 10 times as many programs in spanish latin america as we do. you know we don't have a single program sponsored by our government to give it to tell them our story, to tell them we are their friends, that we want them to be free again. africa is now the emerging area of the world. it contains 25% of all the members of the general assembly. we didn't even have a bureau of african affairs till 1957. in the africa south of the sahara, we have less students in all of africa studying under government offices today than

how does latin america solve this conundrum? beenela: it has heartbreaking to see it has been one of the major epicenters of new cases and fatalities. part of it is not a surprise in countries like brazil or mexico, but part is a surprise in certain countries that reacted quickly, with strict lockdowns. did. did -- peru that is a reflection of issues like lessica has, hospital beds. it is not an easy solution for latin america. solution is to provide as much support as possible while being able to prioritize health at the same time. less tightca has fiscal space but it is about trying to have that balance between providing support and focusing on the health issue. it is not an easy solution. lisa: not an easy solution for the u.s. either, even though they have the benefit of being the biggest economy in the world. a stock market that keeps hitting new highs. do you see this as a disconnect or a logical extension? gabriela: there is much more rationality happening in the equity market when we look beneath the surface. epicenter o

it was the toughesquarantine measures we saw across latin america. the proble is, and i think what is interestg is,rn the gont felt it had no choice. they knew the health system could't withstand it so they had to lock down toeake s they could prepare themselves in terms of intensive cares, in te of access to help. they knew they would struggle. that is what we have seen. there has been a long lockdown. people have to work. this ia country where there are millions of peopleking inse thenformaor. people he been desperate to get back to work. as the economy started to reopen, people have had to get backo work and social distancing and some of these poorer countries is so much harderth to achieve. e is no such thing as isolation when people li 10 to one or two rooms. poverty combined with a lack of access to decent healthare is what we have seen in the last few months. peru is struggling to keep the numbers down. katty: another country in the top 10 globally also comes from latin america, argentina, recorded cases their 500,000, deaths 10,000. the ferti

generally speaking when you look at the contagion rate in latin america specifically countries like i mentioned before countries like mexico or brazil that lead the region in terms of contagion lead the region in terms of confirmed deaths related to cope with $1000.00 there is indication that the outbreak itself is improving in latin america overall it's still one of the worst affected regions in the world but what's causing a large among international health observers at the time is are these small pockets of contagion hotspots in a number of countries that are either showing alarming rates of contagion or showing evidence of a resurgence of this virus now the world health organization list countries like brazil mexico ecuador and bolivia among these countries that are showing rates of death rates that are starting to climb at once again and again pointing and warning that it's a potential that these countries in latin america are reopening their economies too soon i do want to note that we are keeping a close eye specifically on the region between on that border between colombia and

katty: katy watson taking us on a tour of latin america.latin america struggles to contain the pandemic, theoad to a coronavus vaccine has hit a speed bump. the trial of a vaccine braoxford and aneca has been temporarily halted after a rticipant fell ill and was admitted to hospital. an independent investigation will review the data before regulators decide whether the trial can restart. here is our medical editor. >> more than 10,000 volunteers have been immunized in the u.k. as part of the oxford coronavirus vaccine tal. many of them are elderly. some, do to receive a second booster dose this week. that has been put on pause after a volunteer was admitted to hospital. oxfo university said it was a routine action which has to potentially unexplained illness in a study. so for now, no one at any of the sites around the world, including south africa, brazil, and the united states, can be immunized with the oxford vaccine. >> we need to make sure that these vaccines work, they work well enough, and they are safe. therefore, a pause inot good.

one of the regions west hit by corona virus is latin america and brazil alone the pandemic has killed more than 140000 people the 2nd highest number of deaths in the world after the us all the while infections and deaths across the region are continuing to rise that never report from when is it. there is no one reason why the covered 1000 virus should have been particularly virulent in latin america different governments have tackled it in different ways. some like argentina in peru imposing strict lockdowns he just wants you to know i keep insisting that we'll get back to one point of g.d.p. that we lost what we want get back other lives lost. others like brazil or mexico have been criticized for claiming too soon but the crew the virus has been defeated . in this it's decreasing slowly but we kept noisy parts of all the bricks which is good news in the context of the serious problem. the numbers however keep rising more than 800000 infected in colombia and peru 700000 in argentina 76000 dead in mexico and effective vaccine can't come a moment too soon this virus will continue to spr

a moment ago referred to the fact that there was not an adequate voice of america program for latin america. i'd like to point out that in the last six years, the democratic congresses, of which he'd been a member, have cut $20 million off of the voice of america programs. they also have cut $4 billion off of mutual security in these last six years. they also have cut $2 billion off of defense. now when they talk about our record here, it is well that they recognize that they have to stand up for their record as well. so let me summarize by saying this. i'm not satisfied with what we're doing in the cold war because i believe we have to step up our activities and launch an offensive for the minds and hearts and souls of men. it must be economic, it must be logical, above all it must be ideological. but we've got to get help from the congress in order to do this. mr. mcgee: senator kennedy. mr. kennedy: of course mr. nixon is wholly inaccurate when he says that the congress has not provided more funds, in fact, than the president recommended for national defense. 1953 we tried to put an appr
