This is CBS Eye on the World. Here's John Batchelor.

To Lima, Peru, this is the New World Report, Professor Evan Ellis of the U.S. Army War College. He is the Latin American Research Professor on the road in Lima, Peru, where it is a modest, humid morning.

However, there is nothing but news in all directions from Lima. Some of it, very good, wonderful, wondrous,

because this is part of a continent that is all new to me

and the idea of fossils in Peru is wonderful.

However, we begin with the question of politics.

There is an election due in the spring, the professor tells me,

and the choices are going to be various. Right now is a very unpopular executive, Ms. Boarte,

who inherited the role when the elected president, Castillo, was jailed for taking money behind the scenes in some fashion.

However, the election may or may not tell us the direction of the rest of the country because

there are stories that suggest Peru as being, one, dominated by Chinese money,

and two, are not governed well for some time,

and nothing in the election is going to make up for it.

Professor, a very good day to you.

Let us begin with the good news.

The discovery of a fossil of a dolphin-like creature

in what was once an inland sea now in Peru.

New Zealand says it's 12 million years old. The Straits Times says it's 8 million years old. In any event, it's old, and it's wonderful to consider that the archaeology, I mean, the paleontology is now reaching into Peru.

So a very good morning to you.

Let's go right to the election.
