how important is this vote for argentina can you put it in context for. absolutely so to give you an idea at this is the 9th time a bill to legalize abortion was presented in congress over the past 15 years so it's an issue that's been on the agenda for many many years and that in the most recent year since 2018 i would say has taken a lot of attention not only in argentina but also other countries in latin america have appropriated themselves of this green scarf that the argentine feminist movement uses as a message to legalize abortion you see that green scarf all over latin america and of so it is a huge issue and the reason why it is so he is because since 1021 abortion in argentina has been criminalized and women and doctors perform it can get up to 15 years in prison so one of the things that these people's women's rights movements have been saying is that in spite of these women still undergo abortions there's an unofficial estimate that around 270002500000 abortions are performed every year in the country so by the allies in this women's rights gr

why does argentina's vote have an outside influence of the region. >> argentina has already instances of expansion of civil liberties and legal rights, and those have been moving though the region. in 1991, argentina was the first country in the region to pass law to to have a trd of thement, positions in congress filled by women. and pretty much all of the countries of the region followed suit. argentina also was the first country in the region, in 2010, to approve same-s marriage,y and mher countries have followed through. in 2012, again,s the first country in the region to approve a gender identity law that doesn't require any medical intervention for people to change their gender identi. that has t moved so fast, but, again, argentina has always been an example for thion in the expansion of these types of rights. >> and so as argentina has been a bellwether for the region for marriagd gender, could we see similar voteson abortion following argentina's vote? i think that might be lrthe case. wedy see some legalization. resources for legal abortion. the city of mexico, the state of

even though great britain had to rely on argentina during the war, argentina decided to get coal from the u.s. instead of great britain. from an energy perspective, great britainh was as dependent on argentina as argentina was reliant on great britain for coal, so these exchanges created mutually dependent networks the war directed, enforced, or at times balanced. the last place i will take you is cuba. cuba was part of the war effort. it was an importer of food stocks. even though it was fertile, it grew cash crops, mostly sugar and tobacco, the mainstays of the cuban economy. as part of the war effort, the government sought to enlist the help of the sugar plantations, who then could use some of their land to allow tenant farmers to plant food crops. the european sugar beat production raised sugar prices, which drove plantation expansion, often at the expense of food crops. the cuban government is issuing all these proclamations to people, try to eat beans and bananas, not so much wheat, but sugarcane plantations meant wealth. for many cubans, they also signified foreign control over

how important is this vote for argentina can you put it in context for. absolutely so to give you an idea at this is the 9th time a bill to legalize abortion was presented in congress over the past 15 years so it's an issue that's been on the agenda for many many years and that in the most recent year since 2018 i would say has taken a lot of attention not only in argentina but also other countries in latin america have appropriated themselves of this green scarf that the argentine feminist movement uses as a message to legalize abortion you see that green scarf all over latin american of so it is a huge issue and that the reason why it is so he is because since 1921 abortion in argentina has been criminalized and women and doctors perform it can get up to 15 years in prison so one of the things that these people's women's rights movements have been saying is that in spite of these women still undergo abortions there's an unofficial estimate that around 270002500000 abortions are performed every year in the country so by the allies in this women's rights

the law is being debated as argentina begins discussing with the i.m.f. how to pay over $40000000000.00 in debt. or says the opposition will vote against. this kind of taxes per recession it's not a tax that will promote investment on the contrary the problem is how this tax is being discussed and the public protests by the government which. it's a climate against business there was no discussion the only intention is to show that they are champions of the poor when they are getting into the austerity measures demanded by the i.m.f. and the us but president of the for a member said the new tax is meant to aid public coffers to cope with a pandemic. of funding that we are living in terms of where solidarity years to be the role in congress we see the debate on world tax what is being debated is whether those who have more can express in terms of him agency in solidarity with the rest of the country. i difficult times for argentina years of recession and inflation and the impact of the pandemic have left millions in need. finding balance between providing a

so, from an energy perspective, great written was as dependent on argentina for food as argentina was relying on great britain for coal. so, these transatlantic energy exchanges, because of the war, created these mutually dependent networks that the war then directed or reinforced or at time, balanced. >> the last place i will take you today is cuba. cuba was part of the war effort. it was a heavy importer of food stock. even though it was a fertile island, it grew cash crops instead. mostly sugar and tobacco. those were the mainstays of the cuban economy. and as part of the war effort, the cuban government sought to list the support of the owners of those great sugar plantations. they were called sugar centrals. who then could use some of their land to allow their tenant farmers to plant food crops. but, the thing of it is is that the following european sugarbeet production during the war raised sugar prices, which drove plantation expansion, often at the expense of food crops. the cuban government is issuing all of these proclamations to people. try to eat beans and bananas instead.

argentina's congress is debating a bill seeking to raise billions of dollars from the super rich. the one off taxes meant support families who've been hit hard by the pandemic. today's about reports from one of silence argentina's tax by and how it should be sliced and made an economic crisis has become food for lively discussion . and when a site is and now for the 1st time deputies are set to debate imposing a wealth tax on arjun times who have over $2000000.00 in assets, thousands took to the streets outside congress to show support for the new tax and the government if i were the fundamentalists, it was as if we are seeing a very delicate situation in argentina with people struggling to find food, people who have lost their jobs. so imposing a tax on wealth is necessary to the tax under discussion would amount to 2 percent for individuals with assets worth more than $2500000.00 and scale up to us much as $525.00 for all trial wealthy citizens holding their fortunes outside the country. argentina is desperate for funds as the coronavirus than democrats had a devastated impact i
