when you look at uniform startups in latin america, it is surprising. when you look at venture capital flows in latin america, it is second really only to india at this point among emerging markets. so there are potentials, and we will see what happens with agriculture. of course course commodity prices have been volatile. kailey: susan, as we look more holistically at the world economy as a whole, we saw throughout the pandemic they're being this handoff from monetary policy to fiscal policy. now you're seeing fiscal policy going the other direction, monetary policy, dipping on where you are, going in the other direction as well. what is it going to take to take the mantle? is it going to be the private sector? susan: we know that government spending and monetary policy can only stimulate economies for so long, until you run out of runways, actually going to do more. in the emerging economies we are talking about, in advanced economies, i think we have run out as well, as we see inflation that is transitory, but it depends on how long you define transi

would it be considered the epicenter of the pandemic for latin america, if not the world now major cities like so, paulo or rio, or have some of the most successful vaccination campaigns on the planet? conversely, you have countries like guatemala and several other underdeveloped nations which have yet to even reach 40 percent vaccination, guatemala believe is currently at 25 percent vaccination. not even the 50 percent threshold that's been identified by international health experts as being what needed, what's needed to truly curb contagion and to reach cope in 1900 immunity manual. thank you for that. up there from mexico city. so even with infections reaching these new record high is, do we need to looking at the pandemic, more through the lenses that her variance rather than the overall infections, has qual, santa maria, with the case of on the convers delta. you may have heard dr. ted ross, the head of the world health organization, talking about the twin threats of delta and omicron. but whether it's a twin threat to you and your particular part of the world. well, that depends. go

in latin america, 2021 was a turbulent year with nicaragua, leader, daniel ortega assuring his reelection last month after disqualifying and arresting the vast majority of his would be competitors. ah, but in neighboring honduras, you're mad. castro, the wife of a former president who was ousted in 2009, was elected as the country's 1st woman president. a year ended with a 35 year old former left wing student leader. gabrielle bought each elected in chile with the largest number of votes in history. there's no indication that the regions more authoritarian governments will be less so in the new year. but after a decade long swing to the right, the election of gabriel burridge in chile could signal the beginning of a new shift back to the left in the continent, starting with latin, america's largest country, brazil. the new year will it populist conservative president jade bull sonata against his arch political phone. we see now sula desilva, brazil's left wing, former president, whose prism conviction for corruption was overturned in april, and was now leading in the polls. but they were

not only in chile, but in latin, america's pretty strong will. back to the last presidential election, it was said that if the left wing candidate wins, chile would be sheila sweller. so all was referring to nicaragua and venezuela. but governor boris has a clear stand when it comes to the human rights abuses in his will. and also in nicaragua, and of course the human rights crisis, not only during the past years of their presidency, of the conservative a president of us, the opinion, but also during that dictatorship played a huge role in this vote. and in conclusion, benjamin how polarized is chilly at the moment and can't president elect were, it's unify the country. it will be a very big task, not only because he will be the youngest ever president at this country, have to be at least 35 years old to be a president. and he has no clear majority in congress and parliament. so they will have to try to find agreement with a right when talking and it's different between being a candidate and being a president. and that's one of the advisors that

we are seeing this across the whole of latin america. we have two major elections coming through in latin america. columbia and brazil. >> latin america in general has been a big stage -- stain on the emerging equity markets. we have seen brazil, mexico. what is it going to take to create a bottom in these economies are in the risk tolerance at least for this region? >> it's going to be stabilization of the dollar. i think 50% of the factor attribution in terms of an equity return converted back into dollars is going to be that equity impact. rest assured we expect yields to go up. i think it is going to be very difficult for chile to avoid a recession. >> we've been talking about turkey for a very long time. i remember talking to president erdogan years ago and he was saying similar things. we are now starting to see his turbulence in the equity market. if we start saying the currency volatility bleeding into other asset classes. >> you are focusing on the equity market. the focus needs to be on the u.s. dollar credit market. kailey: it

and the re sent summit for democracy in spasm, possibly in such as latin america, over the course of the last 50 or 60 years has the ability to school and so on to go on major political jess off. but over there have been tendencies to move to the left or to the right. now we observe and you wave off rational forces, nationally oriented roles is coming to our i believe that is the reflection of the failure off the neo liberal project. the so called project, not sure what he was good never in our relations where the legend america, the russian federation was through. so you has some is still the wilcock oil play. it's b o. it's course with regards to what the government isn't paula. we want to have friendly relations, mutually beneficial relations with countries and peoples, and not with these of that government, depending on that they're below the references. thank yes. unlike the united states, we do not see the let america europe as playing field for job political games. the current administration of united way with you was the blue shield on what hes already bizarre forces to join

if you look at what china is doing in central america, mexico, latin america, south america, china is there. they're in there. and we're going to wake up one of these days and realize that china and russia and iran to an extent are down there in latin america. and they're going to be right across the border. so i want to make sure we help those countries. and it's not only the foreign aid that i've been a supporter of, but we need to have american investors down there, because the more jobs we create, the less people who come over to the u.s. so i feel bad for those folks, but if you have 100 people that are asking for asylum in front of an immigration judge, a judge will reject 88 to 90% of them, so why at the end of the day are we giving them false hope when they're not going to be receptive, because poverty and crime are not covered under the asylum laws that we have. >> congressman, i thank you for being with me this morning. i appreciate your time. >> merry christmas to you and your family. >> likewise to you and yours, sir. thank you. >>> breaking developments in the fight again

we found to our astonishment they are at least 120 companies across africa, asia, and latin america o could produci llions o des of the vacces. which in the situation whe income and partially, at a precipice, is really the only way by which we can get millions more vaccines into the world in the next three to six months. nermeen: we will get to details about those companies, but if you could talk first about your own vaccination experience. you are in india. you receive the astrazeneca vaccine almost six months ago. what are your concerns now? you and your family all received astrazeneca. what are your concerns about what will happen in january 2022? >> i am really concerned about us. i am concerned about the ones i love and the ones you love, nermeen. its bause of january 1, 2022, clock will reset. i was vainated s months ago with twooses of trazeneca. i amne of theucky people that lives in a poor countrand yetome januy 1, i wilave become vaccinaed forravel if i've not had a booster -- whic they have no plan of giving to people my age and does not have the supplies eveif it wanted to

for one of latin, america's most prosperous nations. d. w. latin america correspondence johan ramirez is following the election for us. the latest polls showed that the difference between this 2 main candidates is narrowing a right now. at this moment a gabrielle bodies would win the election with 39 percent of the vote. 3 percent over jose antonio cast. but what is interesting here is that for example, some months ago in september, the difference between this candidate was around 20 percent. it means that in the last few weeks, horse antonio cars has been winning more and more support. but there is a still an important number of voters on the side borders. so if they go out on sunday and they vote their election, their cars can change their, their, the result of this election at the very last minute. so he's very unpredictable. you're watching dw news from berlin op next report out, looks at japanese flathead areas. reason for went up. i did, mike a junior, thanks for watching, but do stay tooth with people in trucks injured when trying t

same thing in latin america. on a relative basis it's lower, but we see it over and over again, every use case is coming back. workday, weekend. travel trails a bit, as you would expect, but the pattern over and over is that as cities and countries open up, volume comes back and eventually exceeds pre-pandemic high. i can't tell you exactly when. i will be trying to predict the health circumstance. that's difficult. but i'm quite certain that next year we will be hitting all-time records in terms of mobility bookings. i will make that protection now. 8 emily: ok, good to know. all-time records next year in mobility. omicron, here and around the world. are you seeing an impact? airport rides? and honestly how worried are you? >> we are not seeing impact as we speak that this is an uncertain world and i think that we as a company now, because of the global nature of the business, some countries opening up, others closing down, etc., but on average the world is getting better. the efficacy of our meds are getting be

we need another book of what he did in africa, in latin america. i had someone to write in latin america, and the guy withdrew at the last minute, and we never got it done. which i regret. anyway, there was a famine developing in 1990 because of a drought and a civil war in ethiopia. and hank cohen was the assistant secretary of state for africa, and he and i worked very closely together on these civil wars. we couldn't get food into ethiopia because the marxist dictator said you land any food at that port and i will blow up all the barges with the food on it. and then now the president of aratria said, you move any food in, i'll blow it up because i don't want food delivered to my people because he'll get credit for it. we sent a note -- hank cohen sent a note saying andrew has been trying to get both sides to agree to this thing and they haven't done it. so, this is a true story now, hank called me up and said i have a hilarious story. i said, you know that he just announced for humanitarian reasons he was opening the port up. i said i can't imag

, buin latin america. it 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 t

by latin-america and africa. they have to remember everything this president does has china in the background. this would be designed to go to those parts of the world and say, stick with democracy, stick with the united states, avoid the chinese influence in investment that will come your way, and remember we stand with you. president trump didn't go to africa, and there is a belief that such a trip needs to happen sooner than later. and africa as well, going would send a big signal, and he would try to meet with some big leaders in that region. i predict these are two trips he will make. >> i think in terms of the mid-terms, one dynamic to watch in covering politics, we keep talking about the increased number of women who are running and people of color. i think especially, when you look at black women in particular, i think you will see a barrier being broken, whether that is in the senate or the governor's mansion. there has never, ever been a black woman elected as governor in u.s. history. you have five run

our correspondent, i'm a thunder. empathy reports now from barbara tar. latin america as a whole, has been one of the most affected regions by the pandemic. south america makes up for just 8 percent of the world's population, but it has accounted by may 2021 for over. a 3rd of all corona visor is related globally just gives you an idea of just how bad things have been here. especially during the 1st year of the damage and we have reported extensively on what happened across this region with bodies left on the streets and whether lack of oxygen for patients in a number of countries. and just how difficult the roll out of the vaccination campaign has been at the beginning with countries here struggling to get enough vaccines. but that has changed throughout most of 2021. this is the reason the most fascinating region in the world, overcoming europe with 63 percent of the population. why that, that, that, that happens. if you ask me all, would you still give you a number of reasons, but they all points through 2, in particular. first of all, this is a region that has been accustomed in t
