President Donald Trump has imposed 50% tariffs on many Brazilian goods because he doesn't like what he calls a political witch-hunt against his one-time ally, the right-wing former president, Jair Bolsonaro. He's being tried for alleged involvement in a coup attempt on 8 January 2023, similar to the one that took place in Washington DC a year earlier. Brazil is standing up to what it calls bullying by its northern neighbour. Joe and Daniel discuss what the 's going on... 

Argentina has always been a country divided - between Peronists and those who hate the Peronists, between Buenos Aires and the provinces, between Boca Juniors and River Plate fans, but especially between rich and poor. Now, with the hard-line, libertarian economic policies of President Javier Milei beginning to bite, that divide is starker than ever. Joe and Daniel discuss how the two Argentinas they've known over the years are growing ever further apart. 

It's been 31 years since the bomb attack on the AMIA, the Jewish cultural centre in Buenos Aires, that killed 85 people and injured more than 300. Yet after all this time, we're still no closer to knowing who was responsible. It's been a case bogged down in corruption, ineptitude, accusations and counter-accusations. Joe Goldman was one of the first on the scene and has investigated the attack in more depth than most. He shares some of his findings here. 

The former president of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, is serving a six-year sentence for fraud and has been banned from holding public office for life. Many however, believe she's the victim of a political witchhunt, that the current  president, Javier Milei, simply wants the most powerful opposition figure in the country out of the way. Has he succeeded or is he creating a martyr? Joe and Daniel have strong views on the matter. 

Being a journalist these days is dangerous. More than 120 were killed last year, many of them in Gaza. But we've become targets like never before and there are risks everywhere. Joe and Daniel have had their share of incidents over the years - in Bolivia, Mexico, Venezuela and closer to home, just a few weeks ago in Argentina. 

World Cup holders and home to two of the greatest football players the world has ever seen, what makes Argentina so crazy about the game? A game they will never remind you was introduced to them by the British. New club champions will be named this Sunday, either the once mighty Huracan or the brown-shirted guys with a squid as their mascot, Platense. Seems like a good time for Daniel and Joe to talk futebol.    

Rebel fighter, philosophical prisoner, bold, thoughtful and progressive president of his tiny country, Jose 'Pepe' Mujica has died just a week short of his 90th birthday. He made the news. He was the news. Joe and Daniel remember what he was like to interview, why everyone loves Uruguay and Pepe's three-legged dog, Manuela. 

They're both unlikely presidents of their respective countries - Donald Trump of the USA and Argentina's Javier Milei. Which is not all they have in common. Weird hair, misogyny and homophobia top a long list. Daniel and Joe ponder how and why it happened and admit, coz it's not a journalist's place to speculate, that they've no idea what the future might hold - only that it doesn't look pretty.
