Brazil, Mexico wary of U.S. in growing spy scandal

The State visit by Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff to Washington next month is in question, as the U.S. National Security Agency spying scandal bites deeper. James Blears brings us the details.
Listen:

U.S. Ambassadors in Brasilia and Mexico City have been summoned - not for red carpet treatment - but to be carpeted. They've got the unenviable task of trying to explain just what the National Security Agency was doing intercepting the emails and other data of Presidents Dilma Rousseff and Enrique Peña Nieto. In the latter's case, there's evidence it was happening even before he was voted into the top job. This bombshell intelligence comes from NSA whistle blower Edward Snowden. It remains to be seen whether the fallout is going to cause a frost or a longer chill in US relations with Brazil and Mexico. Mexico has put the cat amongst the pigeons by demanding an inquiry.

No word from Brazilian offcials or President Dilma Rousseff whether her State visit to Washington next month will still go ahead. Also....unlikely there'll be any hint or clue in their emails or other cyber traffic. Big Brother could be watching?
