many countries are bracing for an upheaval in their dealings with washington or latin america editor lucy. a newman said this report from the july and capital santiago. during his election campaign, donald trump repeatedly referred to that in america as the source of drugs and dr. capital spits corruption and roads good governance in the region. this time round pressure to cut china out is expected to increase, but then it will separate but out. but i, i think we have to be prepared for permanent reality show the situation of many criticisms, of many a peebles of statements that nature may or may not be followed up to these. former presidential advisors says the new us administration should see latin america as a strategic ally that needs help with issues like fighting poverty. rather than as a group of countries that has to take orders. as was the case when the united states really did call the shots in this region c and human al jazeera santiago, maureen, mary's with as vice president the program. and we are not controlled by china. and the canal is not controlled by china. however,

i think carter and his foreign policy and engagement with latin america wanted to change the narrativerelations with the region. political figures in the united states was that a new treaty was necessary to change the nature of our engagement not just with panel mall but also for the rest of latin america. those negotiations were not easy but they let you as you mention those two treaties. >> i'm going to hop in here quick because i want to make sure our callers have the numbers to call in so they can join this conversation as well. we arere opening those phone lines.cr your line 202-748-8000. republicans 202-748-8001 and independents 202-748-8002. our guest is orlando perez, a political science professor at the university of texas at dallas and our discussions on history of the panama canal. professor perez apologies for jumping in. you weres talking about the treaties, what they allow us to do. please continue. >> guest: as i was saying, and please interrupt me whenever you feel the need to do that. i can get carried away with the narrative here. so two treaties, one, the panama cana

no doubt moscow's been getting closer with latin america. as of late, the russian federation councils been highlighting just how strong relations with cuba are. while mexico recently congratulated russia on the 100 and 25th anniversary of their diplomatic relations at the same time, moscow criticized drums comments over the panama canal. as for transfer several days in office, we've clearly gotten a close look at how the us presidents orientation towards latin america will look for the next 4 years. but as long as ross is in the picture, there's no way the consonants will have to go out at a low. i do say with us here on our, to international for all the days top news stories and you can read more about them on our website r t dot com bye. for now, the of the 1934 prance invaded algeria and straight away the french started inhabiting it to strengthen their position. the column is known as the new waters took the best land from day one. the local population was put into an unequal position and was briefly exploited. this caused them as discon

20th and on tens of thousands of chinese migrants typing, taking the dangerous routes through latin america to the united states when they plan to seek asylum. 2 more risking everything in that quest, but back to lives, point value. so in the 2nd half of our 2 parts investigation, $1.00 oh, $1.00 east finds out what happens to the microns once they've made it to the top of the single coon on us. as you check on cars. we meet so secretive pass to discover his plan for new arrivals along the judge and then she had a job. we learned why, despite the risks, many more chinese are willing to undertake the same perilous journey. and we all ask if the american dream is ready with that sacrifice. the young children young has made it to america, the chinese migrant sent his wife joan u chan arrived in july 2023. they now live with relatives in the small city of tenants. in california. okay. okay. well hey, oh i see. anyway, a legal call and you the couple are among the 31000 chinese migrants who enter the us via risky track through latin america in 2023 on social media. this expedition is known as jo

and donald trump's 1st week and office on settled latin america. we take a closer look at what's driving washington, so called back yard ever closer to russia. as the new us president threatens bricks, countries with terrorist indonesia reaffirms blocks, the ability to insure a global stability and cooperation the from our headquarters. in moscow, you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble. we begin with breaking news in gaza. we're a prisoner exchange between israel and thomas is underway. and loss has released for female idea of soldiers as their israel release is the 1st group of palestinian prisoners out of $200.00 captives, which are to be free. today are the middle east bureau chief maria, from ocean. it brings us this update. the actual moment of exchange thing to happen naturally up to 477 days and get to the t full. i. d f. a female observers. old young women, aged between 19 and 20, half pre released by him mosse. they were him on the hostages taking from and his reading military base at the boulder with guys on october 7, 2023,

i think it's been a tough year for latin america in the brics. they were not particularly pleased about the expansion of brics for a couple of reasons. it brought in a lot of authoritarian governments, not democracies. brazil has stood many tests of that in recent years. and it also brought in a lot of countries that had close ties with china but not necessarily with the other brics. so becoming more of a hub and spoke. lots of trading ties, diplomatic ties but not necessarily with brazil or india, south africa, the other founding members. beginning to see the brics become a more politicized, anti-west then brazil would like. brazil holds themselves as they want to be nonaligned. they want to play on the global stage and work with everyone. all of a sudden, high jacked too strong a word, but they are worried about the leanings. we saw the last round in sochi, both cuba and venezuela wanted to apply for membership, and brazil pushed back on that, stopped that process. they are pretty much playing rearguard. brazil is the next host for the brics in

carter to latin america, you mentioned latin america. this was our hemisphere. yet he sent pat darian the assistant secretary for human rights, who was an amazing champion for. human rights. and i see some of her colleagues, roberta cohen and tex harris and others that are here with us today who brought that message to the dictatorships in latin america. in fact, you know, pat threatened military to argentina if the disappeared people, the thousands of disappeared people, did not reappear. and they did. they reappeared alive because of that threat of withholding, of military support. there's a professor in georgia, elena, who's alive, who came and told us i was one of those 3000 that would it would have have been dead if pat darian hadn't gone down and pounded her fist and said, we want to see these people alive. so by not just rhetoric by real action. the carter administration made such an such an important difference in latin america. but you have to understand this was during the cold war. so not only did president carter write a handwritten letter to andrei

always had a great interest in latin america. how much of a threat is castro to the economic development of latin america? well, i think i have to broaden, ken, and just you kind of just talk the economic development and economy only develops when you've got stable government. let's face it, the government creates the framework within which people operate private enterprise, free labor and so forth. and the castro influence, plus the communist and their are interrelated very intimately. fidel is more they call it fidel castro. fidel is more in latin america is very strong. it's a movement that is supported from cuba, agents are going out, saboteurs, the explosives, so that they're constantly these attacks being made. and for the governments of the caribbean area to preserve law and order alone is becoming a major problems. say nothing of the propaganda, the disruption others being caused so that it's having naturally its effect on the economic life, on investment of private capital, which is what creates the jobs. so the whole th

for the rest of latin america, this was a big red flag. after all of us can just lay claim to the panama canal. what else can they say is there? did the mean there is our solidarity with the president of panama, who came out very quickly to say the panama canal belongs to the panamanians. and in fact, the panama canal does belong to the panamanians. until the very end, i will be on the side of panama and the defense of its sovereignty. if the new u. s. government wants to talk business, we will talk business face to face and for the benefit of our people, but dignity will never be negotiated. venezuela reiterates its support for panama sovereignty over the canal, and it's inalienable right to self determination. no way. trump could've forgotten about venezuela, the same country where he tried to over throw the government's during his 1st term . these freedom fighters should not be harmed and must stay safe and to live. the west president could very well be going down that road once again, as he says, washington is likely going to stop buyi

latin america is no exception. the assassination in shelley, the former venezuelan military officer who was then a political refugee in chile underscores the sophistication and boldness of some of these measures. my guest today is felix maradiaga, a fearless in organizing efforts against the 13 regimes around the world, and in protecting democracy advocates and dissidents. among many other roles he is a trustee at freedom house. felix, undaunted welcome to hudson institute today. thank you for joining us. >> daniel, i'm honored to be here. >> so i want to start with your own experience because it illustrates so much of what we're talking about today, and you were the second generation in your family that is suffered political dissidents. can you talk about your experience? >> as someone famously said there is small countries that produce more history than we can consume. nicaragua is certainly one of those. as you know we had 40 years of the military regime and in 1979 some nicaraguans most nicaraguans believed tha

be followed up to these former presidential advisors says the new us administration should see latin america as a strategic ally that needs help with issues like fighting poverty. rather than as a group of countries that has to take orders, as was the case when the united states really did call the shots in this region. c and human al jazeera santiago. as trump discusses, advancing his agenda with the publicans leaders a continental way. you seeking to align with trump also for our right policies, again the political ground in europe, and now we're looking to partner with new us presidents, all those major differences among them. some see commonality in the policies and those proposed by trump. under segments reports a donald trump's 1st term showed he had little hesitation about pushing your p and lead is around sometimes physically to get what he wants it. well, as i say, you ain't seen nothing yet. we think that frank, to our vice prime minister of hungry afar writes or for a terry and became one of the crumbs to the allies. and he's feeling emboldened hungry is in the e. u and make a who

no doubt moscow's been getting closer with latin america. as of late, the russian federation councils been highlighting just how strong relations with cuba are. well, mexico recently congratulated russia on the 100 and 25th anniversary of their diplomatic relations. at the same time. moscow criticized drums comments over.

for chunk high to be a major transport time that will connect to china to peru and the rest of latin america. costco says that a direct route from trendkite to shanghai, significantly reduced and shipping time. nearly 2 kilometer long tunnel connect supports the pan american highway. goods from china can arrive and be distributed more quickly. it has the potential to dramatically change, peruse economic reality, but not everyone is happy about it. it's good for you to bump it up and then you'll get more if you go to the state usa. so nobody, no boss data is to what is the now police department associated lucky a. pick it on a piece of met alejandro tv. nose leaves environmental non profit cool off of that . see on always with your, let me see, i'm going to find somebody to come up with the side of infrastructure projects towards have the biggest impact risk to it, surrounding environment, more than roads, oil refineries, airports, power plants and railways. so without sports, global trade and the modern economic prosperity that comes hand in hand with it wouldn't exist in a press statement.

no doubt moscow's been getting closer with latin america. as of late, the russian federation councils been highlighting just how strong relations with cuba are. well, mexico recently congratulated russia on the 100 and 25th anniversary of their diplomatic relations. at the same time, moscow criticized drums comments over the panama canal. as for transfer several days in office, we've clearly gotten a close look at how the us presidents orientation towards latin america will look for the next 4 years. but as long as ross has in the picture, there's no way the consonant will have to go at it alone. does say with somebody back with much more news and less than half an hour now here on our to international in the meantime, to visit our website or to com for the very latest breaking news and updates, bye for now. the a box on the the i have close all those involve 4 times slot of yes. because call 0. that's what this guy for fresh and closer shots. so for that's shown like operation have a special meaning for loops. obvious those right? and let's

past couple of months with regards to nato, with regard to crane with regard to greenland and latin america and of course the panama. now rams. oh, it is very, very ambitious, but i think that also the diction very likely that he has been going to be able to carry out all of these policies. the issue of tariffs is going to create a lot of anger. the expansion of us territory or us control is going to cause great uh, sensitivity to say the least. and it'd be united states is going to isolate itself through anti virus. and then i think the sorts of jerusalem implemented to many of the hebrew words and how you're going to say you've talked about how much it was, i know, but at the same time impact rising many even if you're on the verge of antagonizing this group, nation which adopted these words, ideas, it tomato and john. all right, a professor, mind it, we're losing your signal. let's a bit tab, but this will certainly fine tune that. then coming back to you about the imagery, let me ask you the same question. what do you think will be made to aspects of donald trump's foreign policy? you'v

what are the drivers of immigration, especially for mexico and latin america? of course those arguments can be made. but the idea that there was arguments get a significant hearing in the trumpet, ministration or tardy, and a real weight on the front put ministration, i think is a follow say i, i don't think they do at all. i think it's a much more my god, america 1st build the wall mentality that i'm a makes the trump administration on this topic and says, you are dial mentioned mexico, mexico. it's been reported that mexico refused a request last week to let a us military a cough land with migraines, trade between columbia and the us as a tiny fraction of the trade between the us and mexico. could we see trump has long weapon to impose tariff even of 25 percent on mexico? he even mentioned february 1st as a possible days. i think that's this weekend. do you think that we could see trump go ahead with such tyrants on mexico? if it doesn't support his policies at the border as well, i say trump is not oblivious to the fact that mexico lays mexico and canada bot

joining us from miami is luis fajardo, our latin america expert from bbc monitoring. a arnson, distinguished fellow and former director of the latin american program at the wilson centre in washington in just a moment. luis, can you walk us through the reaction in colombia to these moves by president trump? there has been an explosion in social media in particular people will showing extreme concern and surprise. that the us would _ concern and surprise. that the us would threaten _ concern and surprise. that the us would threaten with - concern and surprise. that the us would threaten with what l us would threaten with what people in colombia call potentially devastating tariffs on colombian trade, the us is the main trading partner of the us, and it has also been a very close ally for decades. this has changed in the last couple of years under the left—wing government of the colombian president he is now saying and many people are saying this is unfair because of the us imposing or threatening to impose this very strong sanctions, but there is also a lot of criticism

say, you know, if there is development in countries in latin america, there will not be as much immigration to the united states. whereas trump says, we need to project on the board or we need to close the border and we need to threaten with, you know, uh, economic terrorist or, or huge in positions that will, in turn exacerbate the economic walls of each of those countries and produced more migrants going to the united states, and so i think in a way, they're not me, neither petro nor trump are thinking about this, strategically, much to the detriment of a lot of real relationships, taking decades to, to strengthen decades to, to harden. and right now is a quiz and knowledge to anyone. and the trump administration. do you think is looking at this issue strategically has pick for deputy secretary of state, for example, kristof alondo, he's long argued that working with other countries to stop what he calls such migratory flows, that they must be a global imperative for us foreign policy. but do such spats, do they make working together more difficult? and i think that there are people who i

political consultancy and an alexandria virginia is rachel schmidt, to k, the senior advocate for latin america at refugees international, a very warm welcome to all of you. as soon as you, i'll start with you in bold as to why the stunning turnaround from president petra, who went from saying to trump on twitch a, you'll be ok. doesn't scan me to as the white house pushing it, accepting difficulties, even those arriving on us some of the tree across without limitation or delay. do well, and 1st of all, thank you for hobby. i think president federal made a rash decision at 3 am on twitter, 2 not receive a deportation flight breaking with president that's on the album, she'd be protection place. that interview says, however, president federal has decided alongside other law meters to try to be much more forceful about the thing of the people that are being deported or be treated as they are by the united states customs enforcement agency. i have to say, however, i think the president federal miscalculated to see how the truck would react because tom and the white house issued very stern set of m

china has overtaken the us has peru's main trading partner, a trend that could widen across latin american first policy. critics warn of over reliance on china and jeopardising the us with some of trump's aids already pushing huge tariffs on all merchandise coming through the port. but for peru's minister forforeign trade it's not a cause for concern. could peru's partnership with china undermine its existing relationship with the us? not at all. 0ur relationships with both china and the us are strong and mutually beneficial. peru must now navigate a delicate balancing act. for now, the chancay port stands as both a beacon of opportunity and a source of uncertainty in a world bracing for heightened trade tensions. that's it from us here. stay with us here on bbc news. hello from the bbc sport centre. we'll start with some breaking news. tyson fury has announced his retirement from boxing with immediate effect. the former heavyweight champion put a video on social media — saying he was leaving the sport, for the third time. the announcement comes just two days after promoter eddie hearn re

before the white house statement was released in the last hour, i spoke to luis fajardo, our latin america cynthia arnson, distinguished fellow and former director of the latin american program at the wilson centre. i began by asking luis about the reaction in colombia when trump first threatened tariffs on us imports. there's been an explosion in columbia, on social media in particular, of people showing extreme concern and surprise that the us would threaten with what people in colombia are calling potentially devastating tariffs on colombian trade. the us is the main trading partner of the us and it has also been every close ally for decades. this has changed in the last couple of years under the left—wing government of colombian president petero. people are saying this is unfair because of the us imposing or threatening to impose this very strong sanctions —— one. but there's also a lot of criticism about the government of gustavo petro. the thing his reaction on social media itself was hotheaded and it should have been through diplomatic channels and now people are very concerned abou

panama canal by military means if necessary, a threat to that triggered condemnation throughout latin america. panama is 100 percent soften, etc, tory and the canal ease and will continue to be part of me. and they're also concerns this time round pressure to cut china out is expected to increase minimal separate but out. but i, i think we have to be prepared for permanent reality. show the situation of many criticisms of many upheavals of statements that nature may or may not be followed up to these. former presidential advisors says the new us administration should see latin america as a strategic ally that needs help with issues like fighting poverty. rather than as a group of countries that has to take orders. as was the case when the united states really did call the shots in this region, c and human al jazeera santiago, the columbia and the present. gustavo petro has declared a state of emergency off a new wave of fighting for controlled drug trafficking territory on the venezuelan border. about $5000.00 special forces members have been deployed to the northeast. at least 100 people hav

that was codify pd over 200 years ago that the will not permit european interference in latin americaen you toss in the panama canal if that mr. trump also a mentioned today, we should add add the cannot tolerate chinese interference in america's core interests. and then, as mr. trump also tossed in greenland, the same core interest principle applies with our adversaries russia and china who are kind of nosing around not simply for some rare earth minerals, but building a stronghold for the air force or naval power. president trump also threatened canada with 25% tariff if they don't cooperate on our northern border. now, trump's trolling of justin trudeau about canada becoming the 51st state basically kneecapped the left-wing prime minister right out of the ballpark and into retirement. and finally, speaking of tariffs, a recent washington post article that president trump was pulling back on his universal tariff plans were, as mr. trump put it, fake news. now a hat tip to the brilliant economist and my if dear friend larry lindsay for pointing out that u.s. imports run about $5 tril
