 Today we discuss Latin America. On our Global Activism segment, a group shares it goal to build 10,000 new homes, along with schools and health clinics in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in Peru. Also, we'll hear about the future U.S. Attorney General's relationship with Chiquita; a law suit against Chevron in Ecuador; and the struggles of migrant workers in Baja, Mexico.
