dominance over latin america. the latin american countries is waning. china is offering much better conditions in terms of its investment in terms of the deals it's offering to latin america. and so it's making it a lot more interesting for the countries of latin america to switch towards china instead of the united states. and of course, the fact that the countries in latin america have have had social movements that have moved the government towards the left, basically with it, which are more critical of the united states. at the same time as china has become a much more viable trading and investment partner compared to the united states, the summit of the americas that took place in los angeles this year earlier this year was basically a big failure because lots of governments and latin america decided to boycott, their participation are refused to participate in that summit and to the u. s. essentially sabotaged its own summit, which was the 1st and over a decade our in our, in on us soil. and so that was a v

these are countries that, in principle, this association can become the center of power in latin america are now with these countries. and, of course, the shanghai cooperation organization, which we should probably also talk about first of all, and this will most likely be very uh, serious uh. and recognition, uh, of the efforts and results of the work, uh, belarusians on international platforms, uh, and first of all, first of all head of state, his position, his e political will, if it were not there. but the lack of will, in fact, gorbachev and other leaders of the communist party of the soviet union allowed, uh, to destroy the soviet union , so i want to say that we are not alone, not only uh, the countries of the post-soviet space. those who are members of the cis, uh, are with us now on international platforms, of course, the united states is already working on trying to work on all countries so that they come out, so to speak, as a united front against. uh, primarily the russian federation, but africans are different they say you know europe is not the whole world. that is, we will

and of course, the fact that the countries in latin america have have had social movements that have moved the government towards the left, basically with it, which are more critical of the united states. at the same time as china has become a much more viable trading and investment partner compared to the united states, the summit of the americas that took place in los angeles this year earlier this year was basically a big failure because lots of government to latin america decided to boycott, their participation are refused to participate in that summit and to the u. s. essentially a sabotaged its own summit, which was the 1st and over a decade our in our, in on us soil. and so that was a very embarrassing situation, and it's really quite stunning how, you know, all these foreign policy experts from in the biden administration did not seem to think that this would happen in the past. there are literally in the back pocket of the united states government, and that is definitely no longer the case, especially with what's been what some have been calling the 2nd pink tied. ah, we, wh

they love you in the caribbean and in latin america. and every head of state that i spoke with without exception. agreed with me on the importance. of cooperating and consulting closely on the issues that concern you jimmy and the concern us all human rights nuclear nonproliferation economic development. arms control. i think we've made progress in all of these areas. i'm glad to be back home. i'm glad to be with amy and with jamie. i'm going to convey all of this information that i have to jamie. in fact. i look forward to consulting closely with him on a regular basis. i think my role was more one. of a sounding board for jimmy could explain the issues to me and in the process think them through. any new i was interested in them because i had been all over the country telling people what he was going to do. and then i wanted to be sure he did. and and i could go add into the countryside and talked to people presents can become very isolated and one reason is because i have such huge entourages when they go out and they can't really ge

appreciate your support and intend to increase cooperation on mutually beneficial projects today latin america is facing serious challenges in the field of security and for the desire of americans to maintain influence in the region in accordance with the provisions of the so -called monroe doctrine . in a world based on their rules. in fact, they mask the true goal of increasing the military presence, thereby blocking the possibility of sovereign development of the state us policy is aimed at curbing the interaction of the countries of the region with any other pole of power not controlled by your washington. the purpose of this policy is to draw the region into confrontation with russia and the people's republic of china, to destroy traditional ties, to block new forms of cooperation, in the military and military-technical spheres of latin america, an anti-russian information campaign is being launched. the truth is hidden about the causes and course of the special military operation in ukraine, an analogy with british actions during the conflict. islands what is happening today in the infor

they love you in the caribbean and in latin america.and every head of spate, state that i spoke with, with without exception, agreed with me on the importance of cooperating and consulting closely on the issues that concern you, jimmy, and that concern us all -- human rights, nuclear nonproliferation, economic development, arms control. i think we've made progress in all of these areas. i'm glad to be back home. i'm glad to be with amy and with jimmy. i am going to convey all of this information that i have to jimmy. in fact, i look forward to consulting closely with him on a regular basis. [laughter] i think my role was more one of a sounding board for jimmy. he could explain the issues to me, and in the process of stating them through. and he knew i was interested in them, because i had been all over the country telling people when he was going to do, and i wanted to make sure that he did. [laughter] i could go out into the countryside and talk to people. presidents can become very isolated. one reason is because i had such huge -- i

he said when he won the election, we are writing a new history for columbia, latin america, and the worldave what it takes to be a regional leader? i think it is too soon to tell. but i am definitely short that is on his agenda. he said both his victory speech, the day he won the election, and today in his inauguration speech. he talked about how he wants to be a leader of the region. he is waiting to see what will happen in the brazilian election and if lawler wins that could be a very powerful thing, he wants to change the image that the world has from latin america and i think he wants to unite power among or in front of fighting for the environment. he wants some different aspects on how this should be tackled and also the war on drugs. those are two big bats, we have to wait and see how this could involve, but it will be interesting to see because it is the first time that so many countries are on the same sort of political spectrum and they will definitely be playing a big role. will definitely be playing a bi role. ., big role. there are huge challenges, _ big role. there are huge

these are countries that, in principle, this association can become a center of power in latin americaese countries. and, of course, the shanghai cooperation organization, about which we should first of all, probably also talk, and this will most likely be very uh, serious uh. and the recognition of the efforts and results of the work of belarus on international platforms, uh, and first of all, first of all, the head of state, his position, his e political will, if it weren’t there. but the lack of will of gorbachev and other leaders of the communist party of the soviet union actually allowed, uh, to destroy the soviet union, therefore i want to say that we are not alone, not only, uh, the countries of the post-soviet space. those who are members of the cis are with us now on international platforms, of course, the united states is already processing it. eh, they are trying to work all the countries so that they act, so to speak, as a united front against. uh, primarily the russian federation but the africans others say, you know europe is not the whole world. that is, we will not give

it was considered the safest country in latin america until a few days ago. but the latest data shows that has all changed. our latin america editor, due to newman reports from the capital, santiago, garcia. the rascal still can't believe that her son in law, 50 year old real estate broker, estefan regaled me, was stabbed to death for no apparent reason. while walking home. this cctv camera captures raquel may rushing past while holding his neck. seconds later he collapsed of camera, his juggler. veins slit 2 in his wayland, 25 and 15 years old, who recently crossed into chile illegally from neighboring bolivia, have confessed music. wonder when will authorities control who enters chile? i'm afraid now when i wanna pass a foreigner because i don't know if it's a criminal lawyer, but murder rate in chile has gone up an astonishing 30 percent in the last 6 months alone. it offered statistics show, the vast majority of crimes are committed by chileans. but that undocumented foreigners were criminal records account for a higher percentage of the murders. if they

prolong this conflict and in the same way they are inciting conflict potential in asia africa latin america as you know, recently the united states once again deliberately tried to add fuel to the fire and stir up the situation in the asia-pacific region. the american adventure in relation to taiwan - this is not just a trip of an individual irresponsible politician, but part of a purposeful conscious us strategy to destabilize and hatize the situation in the region and the world. a brazen demonstration of disrespect for the sovereignty of other countries and for their international obligations. we see this as a carefully planned provocation. it is obvious that with the help of such actions, the western globalist elites, among other things, are trying to divert the attention of their own citizens from acute socio-economic problems, falling living standards, unemployment, poverty, de-industrialization, to shift their own failures to other countries, to russia, to china, which defend their point of view, builds sovereign development policy submitting to the dictates of the national elites we

all this in what until recently was considered the safest country in latin america. put on capacity the think went by the input. we didn't manage to see what was happening in time when the problem was incubating slowly step by step one. now it's finally exploded. facilitated by the pandemic. criminals have lost fear of the state because they no longer believe we're able to confront them. you get off the chief prosecutor for complex crimes and says it will take a major investment in money. more sophisticated forms of law enforcement stronger border controls and more police training to ensure that this crime wave is not here to stay. to see a human al jazeera santiago ah.

the reverse is that it's suffered in latin america with the election of a number of governments that actually represented the interests of their people much more than the interests of the united states. multinational corporations and not struggle is ongoing. there have been defeats for some of those progressive governments. united states is undoubtedly play the role in those really defeats at the ballot box. by the way, the left is usually been when almost all the elections of the pallet books. it was not in america, but by twos, dubious, legal judgments, so on much of that progress was in danger of being reversed, but no, the left is research just again in latin america. and we're seeing fresh victories . but the united states is, is not going to give up there because it regard that as it's backyard, just as it apparently sees large quotes of the globe. father, it's black backyard, and the u. s. chevron fleet. she's the south china seas in the season oceans of the asia pacific region as being waters that belong primarily to the united states of america. we've been hovering in the re
