00:00In Venezuela, the government offered a report on the progress of the Catatumbo lighting
00:15operation aimed at fighting drug trafficking and organized crime.
00:27The Mexican government announced on Friday the investment of almost $2.6 billion in 2025
00:34to strengthen food and solve such a sufficiency.
00:45And the Gazan Health Ministry reported on Friday that the Israeli army attacks have
00:51killed 86 Palestinians in this trip in the last 24 hours.
01:21In Venezuela, the Minister of Interior, Justice and Peace Diosdado Cabello, held a press conference
01:27to report on the progress of the Catatumbo lighting operation aimed at fighting drug
01:31trafficking and organized crime.
01:33Precisely, Cabello informed on a seizure of 16,308 kilos of cocaine from Colombia and
01:41in that, detainees made confessions that allowed locating the drug trafficking roads and seizures
01:49of boats.
01:50Furthermore, the minister denounced the role of the extreme right-wing opposition in financing
01:55this operation, fabricating lies regarding crime in the nation and promoting a false
02:04flag operation to incriminate the armed forces.
02:08He also informed that more than 400 aircraft have been destroyed since Venezuela broke
02:13off relations with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, DEA.
02:24Adding it all up to 9,000 in the following operations, 9,866 from before, plus the 6,441
02:35that I am announcing now, gives a total of 16,308 kilos and 10 grams of cocaine of the
02:42highest purity.
02:45On Friday morning, 208 Venezuelan migrants arrived in the country as part of the Back
02:49to the Homeland flight.
02:51With this flight, there are now more than 2,000 Venezuelan nationals that have returned
02:56in 2025 through the humanitarian panel that provides dignity and security.
03:01This is the third flight of migrants landing in the country in the past two days.
03:06It is known that the migrants who arrive in a U.S. plane will go through a process of
03:10criminal or medical checks and then be taken home directly.
03:14Let us remember that these migrants who have returned to the country in the last few weeks
03:19have been victims of the fascist plan of the U.S. government, which is developing a plan
03:24of persecution and kidnapping against Venezuelans who are on U.S. soil.
03:31In the U.S., a federal judge ruled on Friday that a Maryland fighter who has mistakenly
03:41deported to a prison in El Salvador must be returned to the U.S. by Monday, April 7.
03:46Quilmara Abrego-Garcia was deported to a Supermax prison on March 15, despite a protection order
03:54granted in 2019 that should have kept him from being sent to El Salvador.
04:01He filed a lawsuit against several federal officials demanding to be returned to the
04:06U.S.
04:07The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's ICE officials blamed an administrative error
04:14and an oversight for Abrego-Garcia's deportation by not taking actions to rectify the mistake.
04:21They assured that the federal government does not have jurisdiction since Abrego-Garcia
04:25is in the custody of the El Salvador government and maintained that Abrego-Garcia is a danger
04:31to the community due to the alleged gun ties.
04:34Abrego-Garcia's lawyers have said in court documents that he has no criminal records
04:40and finding the government has no concept.
04:52Panamanian teachers' trade unions have rejected privatization of social security funds and
04:56demanded improvements in that system on the second day after a national strike.
05:02On Thursday, April 3, these unions, which gathered over 35,000 educators, opposed to
05:10the reforms of the social security fund.
05:14Subsequently, educational calls for an indefinite strike did not receive a response from the
05:22government.
05:23In this context, the workers of the construction sector joined the national strike to support
05:30the teachers' trade union cause.
05:32In this context, at least six people were reportedly arrested in Panama on Thursday
05:45for demonstrating against the recently approved law of the social security fund.
05:50Two leaders were detained by the national police on the city of Colón while the others
05:55were arrested in the area of Cádiz.
05:58In this regard, the teachers denounced the presence of national police at the mobilizations
06:03calling it an act of intimidation.
06:13The Peruvian justice ratified the decision to annul the trial against political leader
06:18Keiko Fujimori for the alleged irregular financing of her 2011 and 2016 electoral campaign.
06:24The Public Prosecutor's Office will have to restructure part of the investigation and
06:29refile the indictment, a process that could take between one and two years and a half.
06:35A judge will define whether to open an oral trial for the cocktail case, in which Fujimori
06:42and three other people linked to her party, Fuerza Popular, are investigating for alleged
06:47illegal contribution to their campaign.
06:59In Argentina, on Thursday, the Senate dealt a strong political blow to the ultra right-wing
07:04president Javier Millet by rejecting the two candidates he was trying to impose as Supreme
07:10Court judges.
07:11In a vote that was not close, the Opera House rejected Judge Ariel Lijo, who obtained 43
07:21votes against and only 27 favored, and lawyer Manuel García Encilla, who obtained only
07:2721 votes in favor versus 51 against.
07:57Welcome back to From the South.
08:11On Friday, the Mexican government announced the investment of almost $2.6 billion in 2025
08:18to strengthen food sales sufficiency.
08:21Speaking at a usual morning press conference of President Claudia Sheinbaum with journalist
08:27and Secretary of Agriculture Julio Verdegüe, explained that the initiative inserted in
08:33the Plan Mexico will begin with providing support for 300,000 medium-sized producers.
08:42In addition, Verdegüe informed that the government seeks to increase the production of white
08:48corn, beans, milk and rice, all fundamental goods.
09:02The President of Colombia, Gustavo Pedro, affirmed that America is seeking new opportunities
09:07with the tariffs imposed by the U.S.
09:09The Colombian president explained that his U.S. counterpart, Donald Trump, is coherent
09:14with his national tariff formula, which seeks to develop domestic production.
09:18However, he will have to lower the interest rate in the dollar.
09:23In this context, he explained that if the interest rate is high, there will be no productive
09:30investments in the world and a recessive wave will emerge.
09:43The U.S. 10% tariff threatens to aggravate the economic crisis in Haiti, pounding thousands
09:49of jobs in the textile industry at risk.
09:52Haiti's textile industry has strictly relied on duty-free market access, thanks to trade
09:58agreements such as Hoeven Health.
10:01These agreements have been instrumental in allowing Haiti to export products duty-free
10:08In 2023, clothing exports accounted for more than 80% of the total, supporting thousands
10:14of jobs in the country.
10:15In this sense, the uncertainty created by the new policy could further deepen the economic
10:21crisis facing the region, which is currently affected by political instability and natural
10:25disasters.
10:36The new tariffs imposed by Donald Trump on the world will not only affect the international
10:40economy, but could also be a setback for the U.S. itself.
10:44Our correspondent Henry Gamelo for The New Yorker tells us the details.
10:52The imposition of global tariffs by the Trump administration has shaken world markets.
10:57After the announcement, the main stock markets closed lower due to the uncertainty of the
11:01economic and financial cores of this country.
11:04In China, the European Union, Japan and South Korea announced retaliatory measures.
11:09However, economists expect the economic impact to be much less than anticipated.
11:21I think that at the end of the day the market will adjust.
11:24The other countries can no longer raise tariffs, so what the United States would do would be
11:28to raise them even more so that you no longer buy a German car and you end up buying a United
11:33States car.
11:34No.
11:35And that obviously is not going to benefit literally anyone.
11:43Tariffs for automobiles imported to the United States went into effect as of April 3rd and
11:48sales have already plummeted, something that has dealership owners very worried.
11:55They're very concerned that the cars are going to become unaffordable, and that's something
12:00that we're concerned about as well, because if the cars aren't affordable, then we can't
12:04help our customers.
12:05You know, that's our primary goal is make sure that all our customers are served.
12:10With the new 25 percent tariff on imported cars, U.S. consumers will be paying between
12:17$5,000 and $15,000 more for the purchase of a new car.
12:25We are not going to be able to change our car.
12:27We are simply going to have to maintain it better, take better care of it and move on
12:30– nothing more.
12:38According to a study by the Yale University Research Center, these tariffs will hit the
12:42poorest families in the United States the hardest, who could experience a drop in income
12:46of up to 5.5 percent in that sense the so-called liberation day.
12:51For Democrat leaders, it's the beginning of a new recession.
12:57House Republicans, Senate Republicans and Donald Trump haven't done a single thing
13:01to lower the cost of living in this country.
13:05Not a single bill, not a single executive order.
13:10In fact, Republicans are crashing the American economy in real time and driving us to a recession.
13:19This is not liberation day, it's recession day.
13:24Economists from all over the country agree, predicting an economic recession in the United
13:31States as a result of these new tariffs and the economic war that Trump has declared on
13:36the world.
13:37Pablo Daniel Ho and Henry Camelo, Telesur, New York.
13:47The Chinese government announced on Friday the imposition of 34% taxes on all products
13:54imported from the U.S. starting April 10.
13:56This is a countermeasure to the recent tariff applied by Trump's administration.
14:01In this context, China strongly condemned the U.S. imposition of levels and the alleged
14:07reciprocal grounds, and it urged that those measures violate the rule of the World Trade
14:12Organization and damage the global trade system.
14:16Beijing reported its countermeasures include restricting imports of rare materials used
14:23in electronic components in the aerospace industry and for other technological sectors,
14:29as well as sanctioning companies for selling arms to Taiwan province.
14:41In a landmark decision, South Korea's constitutional court has finally removed President Jung Suk
14:46Yeo from office.
14:48The ruling, delivered on April 4, 2025, upheld the National Assembly impeachment initiated
14:56in December 2024 following Jung's brief declaration of martial law.
15:01The court found Jung's actions unconstitutional, citing violations of basic rights and misuse
15:07of presidential powers.
15:09This strict move leads to the needs of a new presidential election within 60 days.
15:14Jung also faced ongoing legal challenges, including charges of insurrection.
15:19The decision has heightened tensions in South Korea, with significant public demonstrations
15:25both supporting and opposing Jung's removal.
15:36By deploying military and police, Yoon obstructed National Assembly's constitutional exercise
15:41of its power and denied people's sovereignty and democracy.
15:45Yoon also violated the governance principles defined by the constitution by deploying the
15:49military to the election commission to conduct search and seizure.
15:52Through his proclamation, he broadly violated people's fundamental rights.
15:56Such acts are a violation of principles of the rule of law and a democratic state.
16:00These acts violated the constitutional order and seriously jeopardized the stability of
16:05the democratic republic.

16:58The Lebanese government ruled out the possibility of any normalization or the political dialogue
17:04with the Israeli regime aimed at going hostility against the nation.
17:09Lebanese Prime Minister Yussef Raed said the nation does not have the military capability
17:14to confront its forces despite the good performance of Lebanese troops in its other regions.
17:20Diplomats urged the international community to increase pressure and implement the UN
17:25Security Council Resolution 1701 in order to achieve peace, stability and the full withdrawal
17:34of the Israeli army from Lebanon and a return to the 1949 armistice agreement.
17:43The Netanyahu administration aims at dividing and seizing the Gaza Strip by means of the
17:57Morgan Corridor and the Israeli Occupation Forces' large offensive in both northern
18:02and southern Gaza.
18:03The Morgan Corridor consists in placing a military barrier to split a rough city that
18:10shares borders with Egypt and the Canaanite southern city.
18:14In addition, the Israeli forces have scaled the earth and ground incursions.
18:19As a result, Gazan held a ministry report on Friday some 86 deaths in the last 24 hours
18:26and reviewed that since March 18, Israel's attacks have led to 1,200 and 49 fatalities.
18:43The Balestine Tel Aviv regime ordered the evacuation of the eastern areas of the city
18:47of Gaza.
18:48In these intense bombardments and bouts of fire, the Zionist occupation extends its ground
18:54operations in northern Gaza.
18:56Local media reported Israeli troops began their incursions of the Suyana-Seitu neighborhood,
19:04forcing the inhabitants to leave the area.
19:07The continuing Israeli siege has left no safe place for the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip,
19:13forcing the displacement of around 280,000 Palestinians since the ceasefire broke down
19:18last month.
19:25The government of Russia and the islands of the Sahel states, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger
19:31established a strategic partnership in order to maintain cooperation on security and defense
19:37issues.
19:38Russia, together with the Sahel states, undertook to intensify their efforts to fight terrorism
19:44and instability in all its forms in these countries.
19:48For its part, the Russian government assured through a committee that it will keep fighting
19:52for the territorial integrity of the countries of these islands and expressed that they agreed
19:58to strengthen the capacities of the UN military forces.
20:01Moving on, following the devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025, temporary
20:24hospitals have been established through victims as medical facilities are severely damaged
20:29and overwhelmed.
20:31In the capital, thousands of botanist health workers collaborated with military medics
20:38to care for approximately 100 injured patients at a temporary hospital set up in a sports
20:43field.
20:44Similarly, in Mandalay, patients were transported on stretchers to makeshift medical tents operated
20:51in Burkina Faso.
