00:55Hello, welcome from the south, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Televiso Studios in Caracas, Venezuela.
01:01We begin with the news, stay with us.
01:18On Thursday, 311 Venezuelan migrants arrived via Mexico as part of the Back to the Homeland
01:23plan set forward by the government of President Nicolás Maduro to guarantee the safe return
01:28of deported citizens.
01:29The latest of these flights was announced on Wednesday by the Venezuelan head of state,
01:34who urged to increase all diplomatic actions to bring the migrants from the United States.
01:39The Venezuelans were received at the Simón Bolívar International Airport in Maiketía
01:43by the Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace of the Latin American nation Diosdado Cabello.
01:48Carrying Venezuelan flags and singing the national anthem, migrants arrived in a combi
01:53as a flight on a plan re-established thanks to meetings between President Maduro and U.S.
01:58President Trump's special envoy, Richard Reynolds, where the Venezuelan head of state
02:02guaranteed the respect and dignity of their return.
02:12We have managed to get this important group of Venezuelans.
02:15The actual number is 311.
02:17They are arriving here, women, families, men, many children.
02:21They are all arriving here today, back to the homeland.
02:24The children are back in their homeland.
02:26It is a beautiful gesture that we have received from the Mexican government
02:29and we thank them for the attention they have given to the Venezuelans there.
02:32And having them here today in our country is a guarantee of peace and tranquility for these families.
02:39During her official visit to Mexico, Laura Sarabia, Foreign Affairs Minister of Colombia,
02:43met with the head of the Ministry of the Economy, Marcelo Ebrard.
02:47The main point of the agenda has been the strengthening of trade and customs cooperation
02:51between both nations.
02:52Likewise, the officials agreed to work on projects that promote agriculture and transportation.
02:57In order to consolidate this reinforcement of binational cooperation,
03:01they also agreed to establish a technical team to simplify customs
03:05and cytosanitary procedures.
03:07The head of the Colombian Diplomacy also proposed, within the framework of this visit,
03:11to expand the meetings of foreign ministers within the framework of the community
03:15of Latin American and Caribbean states to strengthen regional markets.
03:25U.S. President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Thursday
03:29to shut down the Department of Education.
03:31As previewed by White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt,
03:34Trump will order to take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department
03:38and return educational authority to the states.
03:40It is worth recalling that Trump's presidential campaign included a pledge
03:44to eliminate the institution, claiming it had been dominated by radicals and Marxists.
03:48Precisely, per Trump's mandate, the institution began a downsizing program in early March
03:53that has affected nearly 50 percent of its employees.
03:56The U.S. Department of Education has also announced that it will be
04:00The U.S. Department of Education collects data on educational facilities nationwide
04:04and enforces non-discrimination and civil rights laws in federally funded schools.
04:09In the United States, wildfires and tornadoes are reported affecting several areas
04:31in the central part of the country as a consequence of weather conditions.
04:34Authorities reported a new storm system affected 72 million people
04:38since last Wednesday leaving parts of the Midwest at risk of fire.
04:42The National Weather Service warns about a risk of winds that could exceed 70 km per hour.
04:47This is due to a cold front coming from the north that is colliding with warm air from the south
04:52causing low pressure systems.
04:54The Meteorological Agency detailed that the storms produced at least 32 deaths
04:58in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri
05:01in addition to infrastructure and material damages still to be determined.
05:09And the number of people affected in Ecuador rises to more than 120,000
05:14by the rains in the Andean region and in the south of the country.
05:18The National Secretariat for Risk Management reported that the number of victims
05:21during the rainy season has risen to more than 14,000.
05:25While eight of the country's 24 provinces are in a state of emergency
05:29including six in the coastal zone as a result of the rainfall.
05:32The risk management system forecasts continuity and intensification of the rains in the coming days.
05:37The government has also urged citizens to take precautions.
05:48In Ecuador, residents of Esmeraldas protest for the sixth consecutive day
05:52to demand answers from the government of Daniel Loboa
05:54for the lack of attention to the oil spill in the province.
05:57The oil spill, which is reaching critical dimensions,
06:00is seriously affecting the surrounding local communities
06:03and poses a great environmental impact for an area rich in biodiversity.
06:07On Luis Vargas Torres Island, there was a protest by its inhabitants
06:12who demanded the presence of authorities
06:14because they are also affected by the oil spill that went down the Esmeraldas River.
06:18After the incident, Ecuadorian authorities declared an environmental emergency
06:22to mitigate the impact of the spill and protect the livelihoods of local residents.

07:10The fourth edition of the Patria International colloquium came to a close in Havana
07:15after fostering three days of debates on the impact of technologies in media communications
07:21and the role in the construction of counter-hegemonic narratives from the global south.
07:29We're seeing a massive lack of information, disinformation
07:33and it's so important that we can unite here to really work on this fight back,
07:37the resistance and to use social media and media communications in general
07:41as a crucial tool to really challenge the imperialist narratives
07:46that have prevailed for years and years.

07:54this year's event gathered more than 400 delegates from 47 countries
07:59under the slogan We are People's Weaving Networks,
08:02a space for communicators and experts to interact and share their collective experiences
08:07through workshops, panels and conferences,
08:10tying the bonds of solidarity and international cooperation.
08:22It's the second time I come here
08:25and the reason why I came again is because
08:29I think it's one of the most beautiful experiences that you can attend
08:37for meeting people mainly from the global south
08:44that are working sometimes in very hard conditions
08:49and that are working with a very brave approach for social justice.
09:02This year's event was dedicated to Latin American multi-platform Telesur
09:06on its 20th anniversary,
09:08highlighting the media outlet's trajectory focused on giving voice

09:21and congratulated the multimedia on its continuous effort
09:25to carry on the legacy of the revolutionary leaders of our America.
09:35Telesur is the result of their work, Chavez and Fidel Castro,
09:42and what better way to honor him 20 years later by this event,
09:46which not only includes journalists we normally see from Latin America,
09:52I'm impressed how over the last few years,
09:55especially with Patricia and other comments at the head of Telesur,
09:59they developed links with important countries.
10:06At the closing event, Telesur honored President Diaz-Canel,
10:09also Cuban revolutionary leader Raúl Castro,
10:12and Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro with the Telesur citizenship
10:16for their commitment to the truth of their peoples.
10:26Those who believe that another world beats within these south of ours,
10:31your legacy, unbreakable Cuba, indomitable Raúl,
10:35hopeful Venezuela is our signal in the air.
10:38Truth is not negotiable. Sovereignty is not for sale.
10:42Joy is rebellion. Telesur, like you three, does not forget,
10:46does not get tired, does not fear.
10:49The Patria Grande embraces you.
10:53The Colloquium closed with a final declaration on the importance
10:56of strengthening counter-hegemonic media worldwide,
10:59urging media outlets to push for a new technological world order
11:03that prioritizes the global well-being above imperialist interests
11:07and guarantees universal human rights.

11:17urging media outlets to push for a new technological world order

11:48And in other news, hundreds of citizens took to the streets in Haiti
11:52to demand protection from threats of gang invasion amid escalating violence in the country.
11:57The residents of Canape Verde, a neighborhood in the city of Port-au-Prince,
12:01blocked access to the sector with locks and burnt tires
12:04to prevent the entry of criminal gangs in the face of the inaction of the police,
12:07who went to the place to repress demonstrators instead of protecting the community.
12:11As a result, they hold the government responsible for the advance of the gangs,
12:15which they claim are in control of at least 85% of the city.
12:34On Wednesday night, the Russian Ministry of Defense shot down
12:37at least 132 Ukrainian drones inside Russian territory.
12:40Precisely, it was unfolded that the most affected provinces were Saratov, Voronezh and Volgograd,
12:46all hit with more than 20 Ukrainian unmanned vehicles.

12:53denounced the attack as the most aggressive of all time,
12:56as it left several people injured and heavily damaged hospitals, schools and homes.
13:01The Ukrainian regime's strike comes only days after Russia accepted
13:04the ceasefire proposal made by the United States.
13:16In this context, the Russian Ministry of Defense informed through a statement
13:20that the armed forces intercepted a Ukrainian military train loaded with armament
13:24and ammunition in the zone of special operations.

16:45Israel warned of tightening up its ground operation against Gaza.
16:49As a result, the Palestinian government feared the Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
16:54was preparing a massacre of unimaginable proportions.
16:57In addition to having escalated their aggression,
16:59Israeli forces have been banning Gazans to move in any direction on the Salah al-Din Road,
17:04which connects the north to the south.
17:06Likewise, the Israeli regime has deployed their forces in the Netzerim corridor,
17:10where the east is split up from the west.
17:13Moreover, Netanyahu's administration has kept up with the siege on humanitarian aid,
17:17while besieging the health system and all collection centers.

18:21Security forces used water cannons to disperse the crowd
18:24while arresting those who tried to enter the government authority's residence.
18:28The protests began after the resumption of the Israeli genocide against the Gaza Strip.
18:32Demonstrators reject the handling of the crisis
18:35and the negotiation for the liberation of the captives in Palestinian territories.
18:44And during the early hours of Thursday morning,
18:46the Israel Defense Forces claimed to have intercepted a Yemeni projectile
18:50before it reached its target.
18:52They also confirmed that sirens were activated in several areas of the country.
18:55This is the second Yemeni missile to be registered
18:58since the international breaking of Israel of the ceasefire agreement reached in Qatar.

20:04claiming dozens of civilian lives.
20:06Local authorities confirmed at least 13 fatal casualties amid the onslaught in the Turungan district
20:12in the Nigerian Gongo Territory occupied by M23 armed groups.
20:16They detailed that so far it had not been possible to remove the victims' bodies due to the M23 siege.
20:22In a similar event, the neighbors of the Ngyambangi town of Walikale
20:27denounced clashes between pro-government militias and cells of the M23 rebel organization
20:32in their struggle to control the mineral-rich area.
