Friend of the tortoise shack, Colombian journalist with El Pais, Nicholas Dale Leal, joined us for the first time in 2023 and he brings us up to speed on the attempted coup and ongoing deadly protests in Peru. You won't get a better synopsis on Irish media.

We also discuss the South America and US relations via the prism of Joe Biden's recent summit in Mexico. We look at the attempts to dedollarise the region and reverse the inequality that is built into various parts of the market economy.
