Welcome to NewsClick's show, Mapping Fault Lines, where we look at major geopolitical issues across the world. Today, we're going to be looking at a large continent that is Latin America where a lot has been happening in recent months. We've seen elections. We've seen scandals. And we're specifically going to start with one country, which is a very important country in the continent that is Brazil. And it's President Jair Bolsonaro, who has been in the center of controversy ever since he assumed power. Now Bolsonaro's situation has drastically weakened over the past few months. The COVID-19 pandemic really having an impact on the country. For Indians, there's another specific angle with the whole coaxing scandal in the country and his situation is right now quite weak. So to talk about this, we have with us Prabir Purkhastar. Prabir, so Bolsonaro right now looks a bit surrounded and besieged because there are scandals of all sorts. Financial corruption, the health issue, his general, the way he's handled the COVID-19 pandemic as a whole. So how exactly do we see the crisis he's facing right now? You know, to put it very shortly, the very simple way, Jair Bolsonaro is medically having hiccups right now and so his government. So we see really a stuttering Bolsonaro, the kind of support he had won initially that has waned considerably and he's increasingly getting isolated even from his allies. Those in the Congress and the House of Chamber of Deputies who had supported him seem to be slowly deserting him. As you know, he's got rid of a number of his health ministers and whatever he has done has not gone down well because he initially claimed that COVID-19 was really something which was not worth bothering about. He also talked about how great he was that he didn't really have to worry about any of this. He has followed what I would call a Trumpian policy of complete disregard for the science of what was happening. And then talking in a way that made the pandemic seem as if it didn't really matter and when it hit the Brazilian people and as we saw Brazil is one of the hardest hit, in fact the numbers of death, the second highest in the world. So given all of that, his image has taken a beating. So that is one and of course recently, as you talked about the co-vaccine issue of buying 20 million doses from Bharat Baya Tech and giving $15 per dose, which was the highest of all the vaccines and the kind of corruption issue that has been raised. People saying that there was a Singapore firm which was supposed to get to a $45 million which is not mentioned in the contract. It was or it seems to represent Bharat Baya Tech, it is not mentioned in the contract it is an independent firm otherwise and Singapore as you know is a tax haven.  So those are the kind of issues that have come up and particularly because the person concerned who was in the health ministry came and informed Bolsonaro about this. He said yes he is going to take action, nothing really happened. Now as you know, both the House is moving on it, the Congress has set up, not Congress. The Senate has set up a committee to look into this. They have been having meetings and they have taken depositions from witnesses. The Supreme Court has asked for the prosecutor general to start the proceedings. So all of this shows that Bolsonaro is quite on the back foot. Of course there is another issue, how co-vaccine could have been exported from India given that Bharat Baya Tech has failed to meet its own obligations, it is a different issue. And of course the contract seems to be under suspension, probably it will be cancelled. But this is only a small issue in a whole range of issues which is playing Bolsonaro and with Lula having come out not only of prison but also been vindicated that the case against him was really something which was foisted by Judge Moro and that case having collapsed. Lula's popularity has gone up significantly, he is seen to be a much more credible candidate than Bolsonaro. So Bolsonaro's second term if he runs against Lula seems to be at the moment a very long shot for him. So Brazil moving away from the Bolsonaro path which was the most right wing of governments we have seen for a very long time in Brazil who was openly extolling the military coup of the 60s, all the things that you can think about that is wrong with Brazil's right right wing. Bolsonaro really represented that and his family's corruption, his son's corruption, all those things have been already there in the public eye. So if Brazil comes back to Lula and Lula is now taking a relatively more social democratic left position than he ever did earlier and it's very clear that his views of the United States has also sharpened much more because the US was clearly behind what happened in Brazil, both Dilma Rousseff getting the Congress to remove her, the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff and then what happened to Lula. So given all of that you can also see the US concern, the CIA chief ran to Brazil very recently to have a meeting looking at what is happening over there. So Brazil's shift to the left would be a very, very big change in Latin America because Brazil is, let's face it, the most important country in that continent and Brazil takes a different position and it comes back not only to the Dilma Rousseff position which as you know was a vacillating one but to a more firm left position and that I think makes a huge difference to what's going to happen in Latin America because Latin America from a particular position where we saw a Marcos Sur kind of alliance, we saw a Bolivarian alliance also within that has had been sort of defanged in very different ways and had fallen prey to the US machinations both in terms of trade policies and in terms of foreign policy. So if Brazil comes back to this position then the range of constitutional coups that the US has been launching over there starting even with Brazil and then we had the one in Bolivia then we have of course Ecuador is still successful from the US point of view but we have also seen that what they are now trying in Peru for instance but these have been not isolated instances. They have been the American pattern so I think Brazil and if you remember it started with Honduras that was quite some time back 2009 so if you take all of that together Brazil's shift would be in some sense a very very major tectonic shift in Latin American politics. So I think that's what is at the moment something to watch for and it's interesting you mentioned CIA director William Burns trip to Brazil because they seem he and Bolsonaro seem to have discussed the region as a whole and it's obvious why they're discussing the region because we've seen a shift in power what you've talked about in recent times in the continent itself. You've seen Argentina where Mauricio Macri was defeated by say Alberto Fernandez we have seen Peru and we have very interesting possibilities in Chile as well. So could you maybe take us through Saudi region as well in that aspect. For our generation Chile has been very important was very important the coup against President Dianne which was killed and the right wing took over military took over with Pinochet massacred young people activists to imprison them in stadium you know large numbers being put in prisons and of course the whole litany of abuse that took place over there that's one part of it. But the second part of it was it was the first really neoliberal experiment it was run directly by the Chicago school of economists they the power sector reforms which later on was taken to UK and came to came in fact to World Bank to India and various other countries started with the Pinochet Chile and it was enshrined in the Constitution itself that what the state will not do and therefore the whole defanging of the state taking the state out of whole range of activities which would be considered at best welfare or social democratic not more than that all of this was all of that was made into Martin Milton Friedman's very right wing economic policies the state will not do anything will just protect the market etc etc etc and this also had its effect on education system for instance that what the state could or couldn't do for supporting people's education young people's education and that was the actually the fuse that was lit the students coming into the streets fighting it out and the left emergence again among the students movement taking over small smaller municipalities even in Santiago the major town of Chile where one third of its population is there and they the left emerge really out of the student movement and this kind of local politics if you will where the figures who now are important in Chilean politics and emerged and the this may the decision earlier of course was that they will go for a constitutional congress to dismantle the Pinochet regime's structure but what was important in this vote which took place in May is that the right could not even muster one third of seats they're running the still in the government so they are the ruling part ruling coalition at the moment but if you see that they're not having get not getting even one third of the seats means simply there is no position to stop anything in regarding the constitution so the constitutional changes probably will dispantle a whole range of Pinochet court and court reforms so that is a very very significant development in Chile. Argentina you've already talked about that we have a left of center coalition that has come into place it also talked about it's also pointed out this taking steps on the the Argentine and supplying bullets arms to the coup in Bolivia so that is that all that has already come out so already you see the shift that is taking place in Argentina there is going to be elections in Chile by the end of the year and if that shift also manifest itself in the presidential elections followed by a constitution which is much more social democratic if you will I think the fulcrum of politics in Latin America would shift decisively in the direction which it was say when the Lula was a president of Brazil you see at that point of time Brazil led also the Bricks Alliance and Bricks Alliance and of course Russia and China but the three countries which are the so-called non-aligned countries were India, South Africa and Brazil and Brazil was the international leader of that so Brazil also plays its role of course India also went to the right is still with the right so that change probably will not take place here but nevertheless it does mean at least the Latin American pole would shift decisively towards the left and with Argentina already having a change Chile in the throes of one and next year the Brazilian elections are due and if we also see Bolsonaro's of the right-wing's defeat I think that you are likely to see a decisive shift in Latin American politics and if you do so it has its implication for global politics as well and of course at the same time in the slightly towards the north we have Venezuela and Cuba which despite all US pressures have continued to remain firm and actually are able to provide a lot of both ideological support as well as inspiration for people in the continent in this context for me also finally wanted to quickly look at the position of the United States here because we saw the kind of policies Trump undertook the kind of support he was giving to the right Biden has not really what what really is seems to be Biden's line on these issues especially considering that on the one hand the US global say perspective is also looking at how to counter China you know let us test of Biden's policy vis-a-vis Trump's is Cuba and there you can see that the Trump policies are continue being continued there's no change in that I think Trump instituted a whole range of new sanctions on Cuba Biden has not withdrawn any of it and his response to the sporadic protests that have taken place in Cuba mainly because there is an economic discontent there is a lot of problems that are there Cuba had a major income coming in from from tourism which of course of COVID-19 has not taken place and they are there sanctions have only worsened the conditions that they have given that the the way Biden has talked about the freedom loving people of Cuba without talking about the sanctions and also the fact that United Nations the has again asked for sanctions being withdrawn so all of that makes clear that Biden's policy when it comes to comes to the crunch is not different from Trump's we do not see any significant difference with respect to either Cuba or Venezuela the two countries which really are the ones the US was is trying to for quite some time to destabilize Cuba of course long range of sanctions but Venezuela because they do feel that the Venezuela is a very important player because it is oil and therefore Venezuela can be brought back with you know in the in the ranks as Columbia is then of course it makes a huge difference for what in Latin America that is not happening that and that is also it also shows that Biden has not changed any of those policies with respect to either Cuba or Venezuela Bolivia has come back to the left that is the good part of it whether the constitutional coups will the William Burns the CIA and President Biden continue with the same policies or not that's something to be watched at the moment there are no signs either with respect to Venezuela and Cuba if you take that as a weather vane so to say or what the Biden policies could be in difference to what Trump's policies are or were I think the answer is at the moment we don't see any clear difference between the two and effectively the policies are more in terms of continuity in rather than in terms of discontinuity so I am not very sure that they while people thought of Trump as crude and aggressive yes he was aggressive he also isolated himself from some of his allies which Biden is trying to cover up in terms of the NATO alliance and European Union who in the European past but in terms of actual policies on any of these counts I don't think we see any any difference at all any difference at all and the fact that William Burns rushed to consult with Bolsonaro and suggest might be that what he needs to do also shows that they are deeply concerned that this continent now may be slipping back and the focus on China may have also taken the eye of Latin America which they believe is something they should control the good old Wanderer doctrine hasn't really gone away thank you so much for talking to us that's all we have time for today keep watching news click

A key part of the harbour phase was the relationship building that has come about as all of the nations come together on Marine Corps Base Hawaii. This is actually the first time I've got to work with partner nations so RIMPAC is definitely good for sharing those TTPs and just kind of spreading the knowledge for this along the Allied forces that we have. So this was anything from ground air integration training where soldiers gained familiarity with the platforms they'd be using to insert later in the exercise. Like anything, doing new things with new people. There was a bit of friction at first however this was quickly overcome and we could move on to the valuable part of the exercise which was learning how we all do things differently. Taking advantage of the fact that we had such different experiences and different capabilities and learning how to apply them towards the same problem.


Columbia, welcome to City View, where we give you an inside view of the City of Columbia. I'm your host, Alicia Utsi. In our top story, Mayor Daniel Rickerman, Mayor Pro Tem Ed McDowell, along with community leaders in the Book of Washington Heights community, recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony along with staff from Parks and Recreation at the Catherine Bellefield Cultural Arts Center. The ribbon-cutting was held for a new community resource center that is now open and will benefit small business owners and non-profit organizations who need access to office space and other free resources. For me, this center, when we had an opportunity to take a library that had been flooded out and turn it into something that really could be an asset to this community, it was a no-brainer. Let's figure out how do we do it, how do we leverage those resources, because the best ideas, the best businesses, the best community movements are born in a place like this. This community represents a holistic approach to what's taking place in the City of Columbia. This resource center provides in entrepreneurial endeavors to come into this place and to be filled with an entrepreneurial spirit. It's summer, so it's also time for National Night Out. There was also a National Night Out kickoff held prior to the National Night Out activities in our neighborhoods. During the kickoff event, Councilwoman Audity Bussells spoke on behalf of Columbia City Council. Following the National Night Out kickoff event, Mayor Daniel Rickerman, along with City Council members, visited several neighborhoods across the city. These neighborhoods were also sponsoring activities in order for residents to connect with law enforcement officials, city staff, as well as other neighbors in their community. It's also the time of year for back-to-school activities. Mayor Portem and McDowell recently hold a Stuff-A-Bus community event in order to benefit children in our community. It was a friendly competition between him and Richland County Councilman Derek Pugh. The competition was to stuff a bus full of school supplies and all supplies would then be donated to children in our community. In another great back-to- school event, a back-to-school batch was hosted by Coach Dawn Staley, along with the Inner Soul Foundation and Absolute Total Care. Mayor Daniel Rickerman, along with City Council members and other officials, recently welcomed four new businesses that opened in the City of Columbia. It's a wonderful day for another small business opening, but I want to take a minute, look around at all the other five-points merchants out here to support another wonderful small business. Give yourself a hand. The city, we want to help small businesses grow and prosper and really make that vision come true. I absolutely love that Brooke had this concept. She brought it to life and here we are with a space that women and I'm assuming men, because Paul gets facials too, I'm sure, can come and enjoy all of the great services and the ambience with their loved ones and friends. Some incredible foods in our community. We need to make sure we highlight in there on some daily specials, but to have this here in our museum in the City of Columbia and obviously the State Capitol in South Carolina is a great honor. And coming in today, all I could smell was this great food behind us. To me, the opening of Cow is more than just another restaurant on Main Street. It symbolizes a lot of different things starting with the next generation becoming our business owners and planning their roots here in Columbia. It signifies that we are a bustling growing city that has a lot to offer as we continue to actually run out of space according to Matt in terms of potential new businesses on Main Street, which is a good problem. And most importantly, I think that it symbolizes what Columbia is all about. In other major breaking news about the City of Columbia and a major project, the return of the cupola to the Babcock building. Following a tragic fire, the cupola was destroyed. It was recently replaced and before the replacement activities, there was a cupola signing ceremony that was held where Mayor Daniel Rickerman along with City Council members and other local officials joined to welcome back the esteemed topping to the building. We're celebrating the cupola today. There's two recognizable domes in our city. That's the State House and the cupola. And when that fire happened in 2020, I think everybody was really it sunk in their heart because they saw an opportunity. They saw something change in fire department. Thank you guys for what you do. Thank you for you have no idea what you did by saving this. What it does for our community and it bolters both investment in our community. And in other news, which celebrates a championship, we congratulate Benedict College on their recent championship win. Benedict College officials asked that city officials join them for the unveiling of the championship sign. Mayor Daniel Rickerman and Mayor Pro Tem and McGowell were present to represent the City of Columbia. This is the first of four signs being erected for this. Very excited about that. But what I think so important about all this is, and I think Dr. Art is hit on it too, is that Coach Berry, you've raised the bar. And for 11 games, we are the champions. We are the champions, athletically, academically, and we are proud of that whole notion. You may be seeing something new on the streets of Columbia. It's called the barnacle, which is a new device that is now being used by the city's parking services staff. They tell you more about the barnacle and how it works and how it will be used. The barnacle, we felt that it is a better fit on our high traffic areas, such as our main street district and our five-point area. In order to be barnacle, as we normally say, you have to have at least $100 worth of citations, and those citations have to be over 30 days old. The barnacle fees include your outstanding balance on your tickets issued. There's a $35 apartment fee, also a $35 mobilization fee, as well as a $250 hold which go on your credit card until the barnacle is returned. If you do have to get barnacled for not paying your fines, they're easy to return. We have three locations, a drop box and five points. One at our office at 820 Washington Street and one at our PJ Cannon garage. The best thing to know about the barnacle is that if you pay your fines and your tickets, you'll never have to experience one. So please pay your parking tickets promptly and you'll never have to experience a barnacle of your own. Thank you for watching City View. We'll give you a close-up view of the city of Columbia.

So I think that's the biggest thing Now no superstition or ritual man, you know, I love football I want to try to be the best I could possibly be and you know If I got to get out here, you know at the beginning of practice where everybody to get as many things that I wanted to get done I'm gonna do it. So that's really all it is. I Mean whether it's hands whether it's just you know anything past Russian whether just dropping linebacker stuff You know anything that little I can get that I can't get during the reps that I'm getting in practice I try to do it at least before practice and if I can at the practice if I'm up to it I'll get a little bit more at the practice But you know just overall just trying to work on the little things You know and I know those little things to show up in a game for sure Yeah, I mean and it's a long list of guys Even when our coach even with you know, some of the guys that were before coach and you know Ryan Tender here You know just a reminder to everybody that we got to be responsible for each other knowing that we got to wear our masks You know, it's a lot of guys really don't want to have to do that just because you know We want to be able to go in here and have as much as a normal life as possible You know doing our job, but at the same time you got to do what you got to do in order to get the job done So that's what we're doing one thing I Would just make a shit that we play physical man I think physicality is the number one thing for me because from where I'm from and you know The things that history that I've had playing football and playing for a lot of great teams and back in the past You got to be physical and if you were out physical a lot of guys and play longer than play longer than them and be better than them Better than them in the fourth quarter you can win a lot of games and and even to even slash that I would say The making sure you don't have any mental errors You want to be the smartest people out there on the field? You know a lot of times coach coach variable always tells us, you know Those good teams are going to take advantage of you know bad bad players or bad You know mental errors from the other team.  I think that's another thing too
