unlike china, latin america and the us do share cultural ties. but there's also a checkered history, which is why most latin american countries are watching washington in beijing competes with their ever convinced that when it comes to trade, being monogamous is no longer in their best interests. tesla joined an elite club of companies valued at more than one trillion dollars. that's after it landed one of the biggest orders for electric vehicles from the rental car company hurts. now, if anything, the deal finally cements the electric cars. rise from a nice product to the future of the auto industry. while tesla has ambitions to top the entire auto industry and sales over the next decade. the $368000000000.00 heavy truck industry is wide open for a similar disruptor. a gaggle of big names dominate the sector and have plans to start electrifying their vehicles. tear up a british electric truck start up, has raised millions of dollars to roll out its own environmentally friendly delivery trucks. with an electric charge, the trunk can cover 250 kil

in latin america we have three that hit unicorn status.e have another company called unstoppable domains that allows you -- taylor, you could get taylor.crypto and make it your wallet for trading crypto, for holding money, for whatever it is you want. you can save things on there. you can be chinese and say, free type that. you could be a syrian, and say, i don't like my leader. it is unstoppable. it cannot be stopped. i think that is the beginning of free speech around the world. i think it is the beginning of a new world economy, where we are all, our wallets and identities and all of our assets, are interconnected. we are going to go through this, as i mentioned, an anthropological leap as humans where the geographic borders mean less and less, our geographic border's leaders mean less and less, and the world opens up and we become one big world economy. that will be magic. taylor: we always wish we had more time with you. tim draper, thank you for being patient with us. the founder of draper associates, and just barely cutting the ice

in this case, latin america? tom: greatly appreciate it this morning on latin american dynamics.has been a huge call. to me, it is always waited back to u.s. dollar, and we have had that david blum, mark mccormick resilient dollar this year, and that doesn't farewell for em. jonathan: people think things will slow down again. you know what is going to happen? the dollar will get stronger. we can see that all over again. i am looking at this equity market now, a close of 4600. 5300 on the s&p the call from bmo. lori calvasina, 5050 on the s&p. at the low end, we are looking for 4400 over at morgan stanley. servetus subramanian has been -- savita subramanian has been less constructive. there call, 4600 for year end 2022. just a flavor of some of the calls coming out on this benchmark going into next year. tom: to see revision not only off the president's comments this morning, but the science we see read i just did a loose extrapolation. i just eyeballed it on a monday morning. you can really do that on bloomberg radio. the extrapolation of the bottom of 2020 out to $150 a barrel o

that's our latin america editor to see a newman talking to us from bridge to. well, let's take a look at close look now at which countries still recognize the british monarch. queen elizabeth is still head of state of 15 countries around the world being good canada, jamaica, the bahamas, pop on your guinea and stillia. she's also head of the commonwealth, such a grouping of $54.00 former colonies, including india, nigeria, and trinidad, and tobago. but there have been talks in jamaica and it's trivia about removing. queen elizabeth says they are head of state, i've gotten me and my delayed the verdicts in the trial of us daily the only fast food she until next week. so she was facing charges of incitement. and violating corona virus restrictions, she was detained in february when the military seized power phones. louis has more on the trial. a source is confirmed that the court in ne p door has deferred the verdict till next monday. but there wasn't a reason given as to why the verdict has been deferred. non political analysts and observers, i've spoken to say

been doing a lot of stories on, in fact, the global rise in food prices, but that's really hit latin americad, and it's heartbreaking to see that especially in places like brazil where i'm based. i mean, brazil, it just seems like we're finally coming out of the worst of the pandemic, which has had a horrific impact here. more than 600,000 people dead. and things are now meant to be better and now, as you say, food prices are rising and people can't afford to eat. millions of people can't afford to eat. and the reasons for that are very varied across the world. i mean, it kind of depends on which country, it depends on which food group as well. but i think i would lump it into, kind of, two main reasons. so, i think either because of the pandemic, the effects of the pandemic, but also climate change had-- is having a kind of catastroic impact as well. so, i'll give you an example in brazil. inflation, you know, we're seeing double digit inflation at the moment, it's at 11%. and one of the reasons for that is we're suffering the worst drought in almost a century, which has driven up energy pr

from 2019 to 2020, nearly every country in latin america and the caribbean either became less free orhere are signs of creeping anti-democratic enormous all over the place. >> reporter: like in brazil led by jair bolsonaro, who earlier this year reminded many of the country's dark days of military dictatorship. he'd approved a military parade on the same day that lawmakers were voting on a controversial change to the country's voting laws. the law didn't pass, but bolsonaro has since suggested that he won't respect next year's election results. from what i see, he says, i will not accept any election results that do not declare me the winner. my mind is made up. a dictatorial declaration, the kind of language some say is also coming from another country, el salvador. currently run by world's coolest dictator, nael bukale. not my words, he wrote that on his twitter feed earlier this year. the millennial president might have been joking, but his attacks are no laughing matter and have some concerned that he could be central america's next strongman. what's happening in these places migh

our latin america editor lucia newman there. in santiago, chile we go from social and economic inequality in chile to poverty in venezuela. 20000000 people of voting and regional and local elections that having boycotted previous elections of main opposition will be taking part for the 1st time in 4 years. also, a 100 observers from the european union are going to be overseeing the vote at a 1000 polling stations. president nicholas madura has been accused of electoral fraud in the past and to raise a bose following this story for us. she is in the venezuelan capital, caracas. why is the opposition and decided to participate in this election for the 1st time in 4 years? while we're here outside a polling station and people continue to go inside steadily turn out. it's crucial, especially for the opposition, because this is a chance they have to actually make a difference of what happened over the past years. back in 2019, when opposition leader fung wydell, he cleared himself into rem precedent to challenge for effort on legal l

i say they haven't seen this level of repression in latin america since the 19 ninety's. would you agree with that description that ortega is a dictator and this election is a sham? well, absolutely. i think we have to go back even further, frankly, probably till the late 97980. since we've seen such a police state and such systematic repression and a brutal crack down on the scale and with this intensity. so yes, i think this is the data ship, it can't be called democracy in any meaningful sense. and i don't think this is really an election. i agree with the opposition that this is really are, you know, just a vote and they're not selected because there's no competition. ortega hasn't allowed that. one of the ramifications the phone tag. it continues to be president. well, i think we'll have to see what happens the day after whether he's makes a move on to try to show that he's willing to talk whether he's moderating, he may release some political prisoners. i do think that the international community will not recognize the government. certainly the u. s. made that clear

produce here and what we can produce here versus what may be some of the countries in asia and latin americaan do is a pretty wide golf. i'm wondering if that is strained to narrow with the cost proposition becomes more favor to consumers. >> it absolutely is. it depends on what kind of product we are talking about, but for labor-intensive products, most manufacturers are looking at latin america because labor costs are going to be lower. for non-commodity prices, none labor intensive products, labor costs are largely in alignment and even favorable, especially if you consider that we have in reducing the amount of people required to produce products, and that is happening in asia as well, and now we are further strengthening that. there is less -- of the labor component is not significant. the transportation cost, inventory cost -- there are all sorts of costs that get added in with the lengthy supply chain. taylor: talk to us about the inventory costs. the cost that once you start ramping up, this on shoring once we get there, the problem it hits perhaps when a lot of the supply chain issu

whether it is in africa, latin america or europe. everywhere. they are doing it very quickly. jonathan: when it comes to diplomacy and who is winning the game of influence between the united states and china, china has distributed 1.1 billion vaccines according to its own data anyway. united states has delivered about 190 million vaccines. the chinese vaccine may not be as effective, probably, as u.s. vaccines, but how do you think the united states has fared when compared to china when it specifically relates to vaccine diplomacy coming out of the coronavirus? rep. castro: among the members of congress who have argued we should do more for the world, obviously we need to make sure we take care of americans and in this case we get the remaining folks fully vaccinated and also get boosters, but also that we step up our efforts around the world. you're right, china has practice from the beginning vaccine diplomacy it is trying to leverage the gifting and sometimes even the sale of their vaccines to gain concessions in other areas. whether it is military, economic, so forth. unit

why is latin america, mexico so dangerous in particular?ulie: well, latin america is certainly a focus. mexico, indeed. places like the philippines, which remains one of the dangerous -- most dangerous places on earth to practice journalism. syria, indeed. the countries that are in focus in this tribunal hearing. it is a combination of corrupt power, and in the age of disinformation, it's also a case of undermining public trust in journalism and journalists. you take someone like daphne in a place like malta, which we did not necessarily think was one of the places on earth that it could be so dangerous to be a journalist. and we see in this era, as the world really does to hurt -- does tilt towards fascism, threats to journalists are not just happening in conflict zones like syria and afghanistan, they are happening in western europe, in countries that we previously considered to be safe to practice journalism. and the reason that is occurring is because there's been an enabling environment created by the rise of populism, by weaponized so

administration was the most tragic event of the 21st century not just in central america, buin latin americait is a shameful moment in the obama administration. it also demonstrates the u.s. lack of care for central america. that constitution was written during the cold war period under reagan. it was a constitution that was antiquated, that did not reflect the community now. linking honduras to venezuela is irrelevant. honduras has a different history , a different colonization by united states politics since the early 20th century, and even before. so it did not make sense that the democratic party would not respect the rule of law in honduras. sadly, honduras has not recovered from the coup until now, and this is how people are seeing it come as a moment of hope. juan: i wanted to ask you, you mentioned the narco dictatorship. could you talk about these years of the national party rule in honduras subsequent to the coup? hernandez and his brother have been applicable by the federal government itself in trafficking. his brother convicted, and he accused in actual federal papers, and yet th

he denies a latin america is elissia newman has his report from santiago, the stress and the tension is written all over to a vast damping yet his face and with good reason. never in chilean history has a president faced removal from office democratically. he's the 1st democratically elected president to be impeached by the chamber of deputies in yet i, one of chillies, wealthiest men, is accused of gravely compromising the owner of the country and the principles of integrity and honesty. millions voted for sebastian pineda because they thought he would be as efficient here in the presidential palace as he was in his multi $1000000000.00 enterprises. but in the end, his achilles heel was thinking that you could mix politics with business interests . it was revealed in the pandora papers that been yet his family trust had sold to $125000000.00 land holding in what is a bio diversity hotspot? allegedly in exchange for ensuring the area would be available for mining. the transaction was carried out in the british virgin islands, a known tax haven. piano insists he knew nothing about it.

latin america and in asia, those countries tied to china, because they are all commodity based companieso much debt they haven't changed their economies. so they're the ones that are vulnerable to increases in other commodity prices such as fuel, such as energy so i think those areas unexpectedly weakening much more than current optimistic outlooks is the biggest risk to global growth i think countries like the u.s. and developed europe are very, very strong and have the momentum so i think all the risk is there in the emerging markets once again as we see another credit crisis that has developed. >> i'm going to ask the same question to you, seema when you look out, whether it's green or clean energy, inflation, whether it's fossil fuel inflation with what happens going on, vladimir putin what do you think is the biggest risk right now in the world? >> talking about 2022. we're most worried about the supply chains nothing can move, we can't get labor participation back up until we get things moving on the covid front, get supply chains moving and inflation can start to come down that fo
