a symbol of beijing's growing influence in south america. peru's coastal desert some 50 miles north of the capital, a small fishing town looks set to become a major hub for trade in a region the us has long considered its own backyard. this giant new port is a game changer, notjust for peru, but the wider latin american region, and at a time when the newly elected president donald trump is looking to clamp down on trade with china, china has set its eyes on peru, making peru a strategic piece on the global geopolitical chessboard. the man overseeing the port's operations, mario, says the port will dramatically speed up trade that will bypass america entirely. that will bypass north america entirely. you are going to have express directly to shanghai. it is a huge opportunity for south america because right now all the materials that you export to asia, you have to go to mexico and then you cross the pacific ocean. but despite the promises of growth, some in the local community feel left behind. the fully automated port has so far offered few

doing away with river blindness in south america.are now trying this also in africa, so it is a major thing for us. the problem is, the merck pills, you cannot ask people to give it to each other because if you have river blindness, you would rather have pills on a dime in the same size, so the pills are very valuable, and somebody steals them and sells them, so we have to go into the villages and deliver the pills directly in the mouth of people, and we have trained people how to do this, so it is very interesting challenge for us. >> i will ask the questions that were rode out and be brought to me at the convenience of my staff, but -- thank you very much. let me go back to -- just leaving office, your post presidency is now considered the most remarkable of any president in american history, but it did not particularly begin auspicious lay. can you tell us about those first days after office and the questions you and this is carter were asking yourselves about your future? pres. carter: we really do not know what i was a debt. i d

that change and i became president rate five years after i left the white house, every country in south america has become a democracy. although, some not quite friendly with us like venezuela, but anyway, they are democracy. i think this will be something america did likely in south america and did it particularly in arab countries, and increasing freedom. some countries like revisit regularly have something of an election for parliamentary members, and the free elections that we have monitored in the west bank and gaza and east jerusalem have been completely democratic and safe, so it is also a pure democracy, although they are not in existence this moment, and we had an election in lebanon this past april. i was there at the carter center and monitor that election, as well. so i think there is some kind of breaking groundwork, even in some of the arab countries with control from the center for opening up, and i think the u.s. will be much more cautious in the future of picking sides overtly or openly including leaders who are friends. they have a desire for more democracy. even in saudi arab

are building a canal, technologically impossible in the 16th century so it's there galleons from south americaork in the civic died and transport their gold land and you'll related cargo atlantic side. the 51-mile distance from the pacific at the shortest from the pacific to the atlantic transport would transfer the cargo and transport them cuba and a key component and the gold rush in california and interest in the canal. panama was part of columbia and united states worked out a deal in the 50s and 60s to build a well groomed that connected on the pacific side with the largest on the atlantic side. that was instrumental in transporting people and cargo from the pacific and the westco coast to the east coast of the united states should. in the 1870s, 80s, the french were involved in an attempt to build the canal and that failed because of disease and corruption, technology and the way they wanted to build the canal. they wanted to duplicate the success which is a sea level canal and that type is not possible geography so disease, efficiency, corruption led to failure of the french effort. at

south america? well, i think this is maybe where we first proved the depth of the breadth of the president's program. and it began with the panama canal issue. you see? what's that got to do with human rights? well, that was a symbol of sort of colonial rule for over 100 years or more. we would run that place our way. we would employ the locals. but they had no role in the policy or the leadership of the program, management of the program. and we the president went out and said, no, we're going to let the people of panama run this program. we'll help them. but and then we need the right to come back. and if if if our security is imperiled and you know what that worked very well. and it's working well now. it and it wasn't going to work. i remember the general in charge of our troops down there said, uh, there's no point in trying to stay here with military force because there's so much anger about us that we can't do it. and so that's worked. it's been very successful. we we had to go up in the hill

one of the practical things was in south america. before i was president, most of the posts in south america were military dictatorships. with the corporations in the united states, they were the ones that controlled the iron ore, bauxite, bananas, pineapples, to get a monopoly on those products, a great boon to our country and corporations who shared. whenever anyone of those dictators were threatened by dissenting voices within their own country from indigenous indians, former slaves, just poor people, the united states would send troops down there to protect our friend. in colombia, peru, argentina, chile, uruguay, paraguay, in almost all of those countries we had a military dictatorship. and we started to protect the rights of those poor and deprive people, to speak up, within 10 years, every country in south america became a democracy. [applause] what i'm saying is this is practical indication from a distance that people want the chance to speak their own mind and elect their own leaders. that is part of my background. derreck:

on a tour of sympathetic countries throughout south america and north america, you met with us, bradley, then the joe biden, among either of us officials in other precedents across the uh, these do con, see names the uh he is now in the dominican republic uh, width. either former 8 sprays the day and stuff, the american president still saying that is put out of that crowd without being arrested or apprehended by the venezuelan authorities. alexandro, thank you very much. of thousands of supporters of welcome to mozambique main office session candidate, the nonce human blondie on his return to the capital and the food to land a has been self imposed exile for 2 months after disputing the result of october as presidential election. the government accuses him of inciting months of violence for me, the miller reports from the bluetooth a highly anticipated retention mozambique for support is about position, presidential candidates, finance, and one dining room, which was the porters and the police. the 10s of thousands of supporters, 9 discreet says manzona is conway, travel through the cap

one of the practical things was in south america. before i was president, most of the countries in south america were military dictatorships. they were in bed with the presidents of the united states and with the corporations in the united states, because they were the ones that controlled the -- iron-ore and bananas and pineapples that came from there and the monopoly on those products was a great burden. so whenever one of those dictators were threatened by dissenting voices within his own country, from indigenous indians or former slaves or poor people, united states would send troops down there to protect our friend, the dictator. so in colombia and peru and argentina and chile and brazil and uruguay, paraguay. we had military dictatorships. when i established the human rights policy, we began to protect the rights of those poor and deprived and weak people to speak up, within 10 years every country in south america became a democracy. i am saying that this is a practical indication of the benefits of, theoretically, helping from

technologically impossible then so they built a system whereby their gold hidden galyons from south america would port in the pacific side of the isthmus and transport that gold via land and initially via mule laden cargo to the atlantic side of the isthmus. it is about a 51 mile distance from the pacific at the shortest point from the pacific to the atlantic. then would transport, would transfer that cargo mostly gold and silver on to gallon i don't understand an transfer them first it cuba and then to spain. so the isthmus of panama and geographic location has been a key component of global trade for hundreds of years. in the 1850's, the gold rush in california led the united states to begin to get an interest in the canal route. initially, panama at that point was part of colombia. the united states worked out a deal with colombia at the time in the 1850's and 1860's to build a canal that connected panama city with colon. that was railroad was instrumental in transporting people and transporting cargo from the pacific to -- from the west coast to the east coast of the united states and v

so i do deal with native south america, native spanish america, but native north america, which is tosay the parts of north that are really still under native sovereignty. you know, that work is also interesting, but i think also has its own dynamic. the region where i, i could have where might have seen similar dynamics, but i really wasn't able to kind of draw it in partly because the work is so new was west africa. so there's really interesting work being done right now on the age of revolutions in west africa that really the case that people west africa are actually you know aware of what's going on in north america in europe, even in the caribbean you know that this information is flowing to them that they're participating in some fashion. but unfortunately, this what's frustrating to me was that the literature is so new and so kind of unfair. olding it's a funny thing for historians say because i feel like our field is only so slow, so like it, so long for anything to develop. but this is one of these fields really in the past five, ten years has just started developing, but it

but 1st, it's a south america where we put a split to full cost is looking very well across the north. in particular for the likes of peru, bolivia, and brazil. we have got some amber, low salt for those intense thunderstorm stretching out towards the east coast. re a we'll see that rain over the next few days for the south of this. what is much dry for power, white moving parts of option teen a little bit west. so for northern should have but we will see temperatures at pick up and such as like one us areas and as soon shown over the next few days. so i'm just assisting a little bit high across venezuela and colombia to why outlook here. and it is looking a lot dryer than what it has been recently for central america and the caribbean. oh so, so i'm showing the full the likes of a cube. i'm one wave sunshine for mexico. he's scattered showers here and nab the west of the weather. you can see the severe storms moving across the gulf coast and on was to florida. now we have got back critical fly warning remaining across california with the winds picking up as we go into the new week an
