LA puts the spotlight on Latinos and racism

Chaos irrupted at LA’s City Council meeting on Tuesday, after audio leaked of councilmember Nury Martinez making racist remarks in a conversation last year with other council members and a labor leader. In the recording, first reported by the LA Times, among the things Martinez said, which also included disparaging comments about Jewish and Armenian people, was an offensive racial reference when speaking about a white councilman's black child. Plus, cholera outbreak, widespread hunger, and gang warfare, Haiti is a country in crisis. And, NASA’s asteroid success. Guests: Axios’ Russell Contreras and Miami Herald's Jacqueline Charles. Credits: Axios Today is produced by Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Alexandra Botti, Robin Linn, Fonda Mwangi, Ben O'Brien and Alex Sugiura. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
