00:26to define a plan of action for the runoff election and the defense of the Sacha field.
00:32U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday reversed his punitive charge policies against Canada
00:37on the grounds that the province of Ontario had driven up the cost of electricity to several
00:42neighboring states.
00:51Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from the Delezue Studios
00:55in Caracas, Minnesota.
00:57We begin with the news, stay with us.
01:11In Argentina, security forces repress retirees protesting for an increase in patience.
01:16The repressive actions came on the orders of Defense Minister Patricia Bulgrich.
01:21Supporters and retirees were peacefully demonstrating in the vicinity of the National Congress to
01:25express their opposition to Javier Millet's austerity measures.
01:28A thousand members of different federal forces fired tear gas, used physical force and water
01:33trucks to disperse the protests.
01:35During the repression, at least one person was detained by the security forces.
01:47Venezuelan Vice President Dulce Rodriguez expressed her rejection to the threats made
01:52by Guyana's President Irfan Ali against the country with the aim of destabilizing the
01:56region.
01:57Through her social media, the Vice President expressed that the Zelensky of the Caribbean
02:00persists in flagrantly violating international legality by unilaterally disposing of a sea
02:06pending to be delimited.
02:08He squirrels some postured threat in Venezuela with obsolete hegemons only seeks to disturb
02:12the peace of our region.
02:14This sad character in the history of our Caribbean has only one legitimate option left, political
02:20negotiation within the framework of the Arrical mechanism.
02:23Venezuela will never renounce its historical rights over the Ezequiel.
02:38In Venezuela, the Popular Communication National Workshop to Strengthen Revolutionary Communication
02:42and Counteract Digital Manipulation of Global Capitalism moves forward in its second day.
02:47During the event, Communications Minister Freddy Náñez explained that there is a militarization
02:51through hegemonic technologies of public opinion and social relations.
02:55Furthermore, Náñez stated that with new technologies, the Olympic brain is activated
03:00to have a perception of reality.
03:02The Venezuelan official also reported that the workshop deals with the most advanced
03:06concepts in political and sociological terms.
03:17We see two things here.
03:18First, the most advanced concepts in political and sociological terms are being built from
03:24a civil-military perspective, and it is part of our doctrine as a republic, and it is part
03:30of our defense doctrine of our nation.
03:33Therefore, what has been analyzed and built in our own theory regarding the new forms
03:37of warfare, the blurred warfare we have called it, is part of the battle you are fighting
03:43every day, whether we know it or not.
03:49The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador held a plurinational popular assembly
03:54to define a plan of action for the runoff election and the defense of the Zaza field.
03:58The convention aimed at establishing a consensus position with a view to the two candidates
04:02for the next ballot in April, such as the unanimous position was not achieved during
04:07the first round due to divergences within the Amazonian groups.
04:11Several organizations of the Central Highlands supported the candidacy of President Daniel
04:14Lopoa, while the National Federation of Farmers, Indigenous and Black Organizations is leaning
04:19towards the campaign of Luisa González.
04:22In this regard, CONAI President Leonidas Issa reaffirmed his commitment to democratic respect
04:27of all positions within the movement.
04:57A people that wants to fight, and that is going to defend the rights of the poorest
05:01people.
05:02Indeed, we need if we are from the progressive left sector, environmentalists, feminists
05:08who respect sexual diversities, all identities, we need to be critical and self-critical.
05:15If we do not look at our own problems, in each organization, how are we going to end
05:20up accusing what the traditional right wing does, accusing the citizenship?
05:26The President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, stated that he would place his government
05:30in the hands of the people by calling a popular consultation.
05:33The Colombian head of state informed that the future of the labor and health reforms
05:37is in the hands of citizens through the holding of a referendum.
05:41Petro noted that the people have the power through mobilization and consultation, and
05:45pointed out that if the people cannot express themselves, then there is a tyranny.
05:49President Petro made the announcement in the framework of an institutional clash caused
05:52by the refusal of Congress to pass the labor and health reforms promoted by the government,
05:57with support from Colombian society.
06:07Regarding the Senate's verdict, several social organizations mobilized the National
06:11Congress headquarters in defense of the labor reform, in addition to condemning the initiative
06:16that could threaten labor rights.
06:18Some spokespersons demanded the recovery of the rights of the working class, such as the
06:22labor nature of the apprenticeship contract.
06:25They claimed that Congress seeks to favor the employers only, through the exemption
06:29of the corporate monetization.
06:39We have now our first short break coming up.

06:52Welcome back.
07:10Honduran President Xiomara Castro addressed the nation at the inauguration of the expansion
07:14of a power substation in Siguatepeque in the Camayagua compartment.
07:19In her speech, Castro emphasized her government's achievements, among them the health and safety
07:23projects and the focus on a more sustainable and qualitative energy, evidenced with the
07:28inauguration of the power substation, which will better the quality of life of nearby
07:32residents.
07:33In this context, the President touched on the recent primary polls in the country, congratulating
07:37both the Honduran people for the high turnout and the elected candidates, and urging politicians
07:42to respect the people and guarantee transparency on all instances of the electoral process.
07:49I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate, first of all the high democratic
08:00level of the Honduran people, and especially the citizens who were waiting in those sectors
08:12for the ballot boxes to arrive to be able to exercise their right to vote.
08:25Congratulations because this shows that we as citizens, as a people, wish and want a
08:30civic celebration.
08:38We permanently long for democracy to be respected and for the will of the Honduran people to
08:44be respected at all times.
08:50On Tuesday, Ecuadorian President Daniel Novoa announced a strategic alliance with businessman
08:55Eric Prince, the owner of the U.S. mercenary agency Blackwater, to fight narco-terrorism.
09:00With the action, Novoa opens the door to the concession of the monopoly of the use of force
09:04exclusive to the state, to a private company that is also foreign.
09:08Even though Article 158 of the Constitution establishes that the agreement is an irregularity,
09:13the President will delegate the country's security to a company with a dark past, responsible
09:18for massacres and human rights violations that led it to face international lawsuits.
09:23The head of state also relegates his military and police forces to the background and will
09:28give privileged security and defense information to foreign mercenaries.
09:41The lower chamber of the Mexican Congress approved on Tuesday the constitutional reforms
09:45in regard to national sovereignty sent by President Claudio Achenbaum.
09:49The resolution, which was approved in particular with 327 votes in favor and 116 against, sets
09:55the requirement of preventive jail time to the crime of terrorism, including arms trafficking.
10:00It also states that no foreign intervention will be allowed or tolerated under any circumstance.
10:05Legislators who defended the proposal ratified that it is not just another reform, but an
10:09unprecedented advance that makes it clear that the country would not accept interventions,
10:14meddling or any other act from abroad that is harmful to its integrity.
10:19The bill was then sent to state parliaments.
10:30In the Cuban capital, Havana, experts from the National Statistics and Information Office
10:35presented the Cuba Observatory on Gender Equality to ambassadors and representatives of the
10:39European Union in the Caribbean island.
10:42At the gathering, which took place on Tuesday at the National Hotel, the offices' expert
10:47Anais Montequin, together with the team of local observers on gender equality, presented
10:51the structure and details of the function of the initiative.
10:54Montequin explained that inputs from the platform, jointly developed with the Federation of Human
10:58Women and its Center for Women's Studies, have already been used for decision-making
11:02in various instances.
11:04The meeting sought to make the initiative known for potential users to benefit from
11:09the formulation of public policies and scientific work.
11:19In the National Women's Program, the indicators that we have here, the 33 indicators, serve
11:25as a basis for monitoring public policies where we are working.
11:29We have many challenges and we think that every day, even with this type of events,
11:34with the exchanges we have, new contributions emerge and new paths towards which we can
11:39start to move.
11:43The ambassador of the European Union to Cuba, Isabel Pedrosa, highlights the advances of
11:47the matter in Cuba.
11:51It is an incomplete task.
11:53We can always be moving forward, and Cuba stands out for its progress in terms of the
11:58regulatory framework, creativity, women occupying outstanding positions in different areas.
12:04It is a task that is not finished, and it is always necessary to continue working, interpreting
12:09the figures, the names, to see where there is room for improvement.
12:17On Tuesday, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio da Silva had a phone call with UN Secretary-General
12:21António Guterres concerning the organization of the Climate Change Conference COP-30 that
12:26will take place in Pará in November.
12:28The leaders' meeting is set to assess the progress of the Brazil-UN Alliance for Climate
12:32and Ambition.
12:33In addition to advancing the development of targets, the conference will discuss ways
12:36to strengthen multilateralism to respond collectively to the challenge of climate change.
12:41In this regard, Guterres noted that more than 30 countries have been contacted and all are

13:32Welcome back.
13:33On Wednesday, the Kremlin made a statement on Washington's proposal on a possible truce
13:37with Kyiv.
13:38Spokeman Dmitry Peskov assured that they are waiting for a report with details of the agreement,
13:42as promised by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and National Security Advisor Mike Walz.
13:48As that time comes, Moscow is reviewing the final statement of the meeting held in Saudi
13:51Arabia on Tuesday, in which President Volodymyr Zelensky agreed to a 30-day truce with Russia.
13:57Although he did not rule out the possibility of a videoconference to be organized relatively
14:01quickly if necessary, he preferred not to anticipate any events.
14:14And the Kremlin will not consent to Ukrainian decisions that put at risk citizens who identify
14:19themselves with Russian culture on the territory of Ukraine.
14:21Ahead of a possible peace deal with the Kyiv regime, the Russian government ensured it
14:26would not accept resolutions that may affect or endanger the safety and life of citizens
14:32The Kremlin further noted that Ukrainian measures should not have been focused on just the territory,
14:37as these laws issued by the Zelensky administration were seeking to deprive citizens of their
14:41historical Russian roots.
14:42Moreover, the Russian Foreign Ministry stressed the importance of the land and the efforts
14:47of villagers to preserve their cultural identity.
15:01And the pact reached in Washington between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister
15:15Benjamin Netanyahu over Gaza could collapse as Tel Aviv opposes direct communication between
15:20the White House and the Palestinian Resistance.
15:23This Tuesday the meeting in Qatar ended without agreement, while separate dialogues between
15:29Washington and Tel Aviv and Washington and Hamas were moving in different directions.
15:33Zionism questions the direct hostage negotiations between the White House and the Resistance,
15:38while Washington leaves Tel Aviv out of key meetings.
15:40Adam Bollard, the White House envoy, affirms that Hamas is willing to reach new agreements,
15:45while the Resistance reiterates that Israel continues to commit violations and war crimes
15:49against the Palestinian people.
15:58The Germany forces have resumed the naval blockade against the Israeli occupier, effectively
16:03launching the operation after the expiration of the deadline given to the genocidal regime
16:08to reopen the border crossings.
16:10Precisely, the leader of the Ansarola movement, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, gave the mediators
16:15a deadline to allow the entry of humanitarian aid and to restore power to the Gaza Strip.
16:20As the cut continues, from Wednesday the naval blockade against Israel will be enforced in
16:24the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Strait of Bab al-Bandab and the Gulf of Aden, and
16:28will be maintained until the genocidal occupier meets the demands set in solidarity with the
16:33Palestinian people.
16:44Local authorities in the Gaza Strip warn of the intensification of the crisis as a result
16:48of the blockade imposed by the Israeli regime on the entry of humanitarian aid.
16:53The Union of Municipalities of Gaza says that after the order of the Israeli Ministry
16:56of Energy and Infrastructure to cut the power supply to the Palestinian territory, the health
17:01system and the water supply were paralyzed due to the lack of energy in the desalination
17:05plant in Deir al-Bala.
17:06In this regard, the Palestinian government denounces that Israel is exposing the lives
17:11of more than 25,000 patients to the impossibility of receiving the treatment they require.
17:26A federal judge in New York on Monday blocked the deportation of Palestinian student Mahmoud
17:30Khalil.
17:31The recent Columbia College graduate was arrested by immigration officials over the weekend
17:36for his role in organizing the Gaza Solidarity protest in 2024.
17:41U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated the arrest saying he was proud that it was made
17:44possible by his executive order.
17:46However, the order was overturned by a federal judge as the student has legal status.
17:51The arrest has caused widespread outrage and several demonstrations of support have taken
17:55place.
18:05U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday reversed his punitive tariff policies against Canada
18:10on the grounds that the province of Ontario had driven up the cost of power to several
18:14neighboring states.
18:15The U.S. Senior Counsel for Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro highlighted that the U.S. President
18:21reversed his decision to double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum following a deal
18:25with Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
18:28The Canadian Authority confirmed that he had received a call from U.S. Commerce Secretary
18:33Howard Lutnick with whom he agreed on abrogating price increase.
18:39And in other news, Human Rights organizations in Sudan reported Wednesday bombings have
18:53claimed two civilian lives and five others injured in the country.
18:57These organizations announced military planes had launched attacks on two markets and a
19:01mine in an attempt to evade residential areas.
19:04They further described these aggressions as a war crime.
19:07In all, over 14 million Sudanese have been displaced from their homes due to the armed
19:11conflict between the military and the rapid support forces.
19:14Amid this situation, the movements denounced the severe shortage of food and medical supplies
19:19in the country, which has triggered the deaths of the elderly and children.
