there are tourist alleys all over south america. for a long time, they had been the most important to the understanding what went on south of our border and what life was like there. john q is accustomed to the mattress and tiled bathroom life and rarely moves away from this in the world, but there is not much of that world and africa, asia, or south america, except the tourist alleys set up to cater to those few of the world 's people who can afford to live that way. from tourist alleys, wherever they are, it has been very hard to see the seeds of revolution that spilled over much of the world since the end of world war ii, and most recently in cuba. very few americans are prepared now to see those seeds over all of south america as castro's right-hand man in havana saw them last march when he described the cuban revolution as "chapter one in the battle for america." the cuban leaders see those seed sprouting in 19 other south american countries, where conditions are right for castro's kind of revolution. what are those conditions?

south america will never be the same again either. pope john warned in that talk that the gulf between the rich and the poor had to be bridged. the continent of the south of us will never be the same again because the words gotten around that that gulf can be bridged. better lives are possible. schools to learn to read and write are possible. that one does not have to age quickly and die young because of hard work and hunger and disease. better houses to live in than mud huts and packing cases with tin roofs, these things are possible. this word has gotten around. the trouble is, though, this word is not being spread by christian men who practice a christian charity as pope john suggested. it is being spread by revolutionaries who practice a very different method as suggested by the men who offered these goods and services to mr. castro to help him try to stabilize his revolution in cuba. these are soviet jet fighters, the kind they have offered cuba's leader. they point out a problem which disturbs all americans right now, the proble

well, for many of us, south america really is one of those once—in—a—lifetime destinations. so rich in culture, scenery, wildlife, and sheer life force, it's one of those places that once you visit, you never quite forget. so this week we are taking a look back at some of our favourite travel show adventures in brazil, argentina, chile and peru. so why not stick around, and who knows, maybe get some inspiration for the next time we can all travel again. let's kick off with a trip to chile that christa made back in 2017 when she met the surfers fighting to save their favourite stretch of coastline from developers, against a backdrop of some truly awesome pacific waves. i've arrived in punta de lobos at a particularly good time, because word has gone around that this morning's swell will be unusually strong, with waves of up to 30 feet. these huge waves have been tracked all the way from antarctica, and have drawn out locals and people from across the world to watch them come in and crash against these rocks. if you look really carefully out there, what looks like little birds

but now it has read far beyond the amazon, across south america, now driving a surge of infections in peru, uruguay, paraguay, bolivia, venezuela, and argentina. there are concerns that the variant will have an iact for months. one doctor who coordinated the pandemic response in northeastern brazil is warning we may get to 500,000 deaths by the first of july. that's the latest estimate, he says. an additional 170,000 deaths in the next three months. bear in mind, while some countries like france have brought in lockdowns to deal with new variants, brazil is easing restrictions. this picture is from sÃo paulo on tuesday. the train station is packed. another factor is brazil's vaccine rollout. that began in january, and around 8% of the population has received at least one dose. this m is responsible for the rollout. he is brazil's health minister, fourth person to do that job since the pandemic began. he's also a doctor, which some people find reassuring. here's an epidemiologist. >> the new minister is trying to do things based on science. his main enemy is the president himself. so,

countries across south america are rushing in restrictions as they battle to contain the virus problems are being made worse by slow vaccine rollouts and weak health systems in the worst affected country brazil there are no moves to ease restrictions in places that have seen a huge rise in coven 1000 cases and deaths than are trying the reports from one us ariz. a mixture of relief and disbelief is 2 weeks of lockdown lifted in rio de janeiro one of the worst coronaviruses cities in brazil and the poor which is that it's more like the good news is that by enforcing the 14 day epidemiological period suggested by specialists plus other restrictions we managed to lower the number of people seeking the city's basic health system. yet for the past week across brazil there have been an average of 4000 deaths a day adding to a total of more than 350002nd in the world only to the united states health experts say much more needs to be done to curb the spread and. we can't sleep because we don't know full be able to attend to the patients if we will have medicines oxygen today we have them but if

we are basically generating variants that can spread not only throughout brazil and south america, but can spread throughout the planet. and although vaccines are being given in brazil, they've reached only 8% of people. and that matters, even to countries that have done far better. if we continue to vaccinate only certain people in certain countries while allowing the virus to continue to spread unchecked in other parts of the world, the new variants will emerge in these parts of the world, against which our current vaccines and treatments may no longer work. we're not in that position just now, but it's the future. the fear is that when brazil or any country fails to bring infections down, the more chances there are for the virus to mutate, so the vaccine producers are already having to think ahead. david shukman, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news. in minneapolis, at the murder trial of derek chauvin, a crucial piece of evidence has been retracted by the chief investigator in the case. the former police officer's defence team has claimed george floyd died from drugs he

so finally in late july, early july, the disease made its appearance in chile and south america. so that in three short months, every continent on the globe had been involved in this great pandemic. >> but, dr. crabtree, you mentioned it had been reported on ships en route to san francisco and that several cases were definitely diagnosed among our fleet at newport, rhode island. wouldn't did have been comparatively simple to isolate these cases and control the spread of it happening at all? >> not so simple, for the reason that quarantine against influenza is not effective. had it been possible for all of the cases on board the ships to have been isolated, it would have had little effect on the actual spread of the disease because undoubtedly there were many more people on board these same ships who, by reason of a more recently acquired infection, would have shown no symptoms whatever of the disease and, therefore, they could not have been readily identified if they were passing through a quarantine station. >> i see. well, dr. bernie mentioned we had approximately 25,000 known

america so it seems that more and more countries are closing their borders in south america. brazil the epicenter of the pandemic really there just how dire is the situation in brazil. well follies hospitals across brazil literally been crippled by the current surge in infections just to give you an idea of how bad the situation is in the month of march just and did more than $66000.00 people have died kovi the 19 and brazil that's the deadliest month since the beginning of the pandemic and more than double the number of the previous record the situation is so bad that more than 600 cities now have warned in the past days that they fear their hospitals will run out of oxygen and that next week unless something is done 15 of brazil's $26.00 states are also saying that their hospitals are right now and 90 percent or more at capacity of their i.c.u. so it's a very very dramatic situation compounded by a political crisis with president both scenarios that continues to rage against the new lockdowns the new rules being imposed by d.c. had to reshuffle the cabinet but a situation t

and now we cross the pacific to south america in our global ideas series this week we funded the tracks of jack us based pick caps around the threats that habitat is being turned into farmland in colombia but help as it happens from an unlikely source the cap's format and means. it's. a privately run nature reserve on the plains of eastern columbia is home to many rare species of wild animal. the vast grasslands are also home to extensive cattle ranches. here but our guns family has lived in the region for generations they own 17000 hectares of land that's almost 3 times the size of manhattan. he's created the private low or a nature reserve on part of this land because the habitats of wild animals are shrinking fast as forests are cleared away to create pastures. and that's not the only problem jackie was face here populations across the region are at risk of being wiped out. a. fee. they have found their jaguars are being hunted we don't know who's doing it people like that tend to keep to themselves but we keep hearing rumors. here on the plains jacki was killed about $100.00 carbs a

in africa, some forms of malaria still rage, germs that might have easily been transmitted to south america. and cholera in japan could strike suddenly at the west coast of the united states. permanently infected zones are localized but may cover large areas of territory, sometimes entire continents. modern transport poses new dangers of complete universal contagion. the struggle against epidemics is a global one, for the danger of death is worldwide. then what is the answer? within the framework of the united nations, a new organization exists to promote the welfare of all people, the world health organization. in its first assembly, july 1948, director general dr. chisholm declared that this organization was physically prepared to raise the health level of all people and to forever destroy the human afflictions of cholera and other human diseases. this would be done on a global scale. the representatives of nearly every nation have signed the great charter of health. this means an organization with authority and means to act. epidemics, no matter what part of the world they may infect, ar

america has been increasing steadily but it was a healthy enough turnout and the interesting thing is that we have heard from at least some of the authorised polling companies that are allowed to get the results of exit polls and they have coming out with some pretty surprising results although it is still within the realms of a technical tie it does seem to give more laughs on the conservative bank or in business men need up to a 7 point lead now and that is at our house is the tender from the left wing coalition says that he has and he addressed his followers so short while ago we told them not to listen to the exit polls to wait for the official result but a significant percentage of those results will now be out for at least several more hours so it is still apparently a nail biting election indeed this is obviously a runoff between 2 very politically opposed candidates with very different ideas about how to solve the di economic problem not of course the covert situation and it's about how they actually sell the message and whether people want to listen to it or not. well people

the average for south america was a little over 7%. so you have just an unprecedented health, economic, and climate related crisis that regardless of the administration, would have produced unprecedented bush of desperate people to come to the united -- push of desperate people to come to the united states. we can all agree that the messaging that was done rapidly that the united states would undo the inhumane policies of the trump administration, separating children from their parents, ripping kids from the arms of their parents. hundreds of those children have not been reunited with their families. it was important to stop that policy. and i think candidate biden had pledged to do so. but there were a rapid number of executive actions that did send a message, perhaps too strong a message, that the united states was open for business, and abide administration moved quickly to counter that. the coyotes were taking advantage and exploiting that message, spreading false rumors about how now, people could migrate, making people pay thousa

when i became president, almost every country in south america was a military dictatorship. columbia, peru, argentina, uruguay, brazil, so forth. the institution of the human rights policy there, and our support for it, the condemnation of oppression, made it possible for every country in south america to become a democracy, and they did it within five years.
