03:01 to you, the ancient China and the People's Republic of China.
03:06 The relationship between Venezuela and China are an example for the countries of the global

03:11 I have witnessed how China has become a superpower, a superpower committed to peace, well-being
03:19 and cooperation for humanity.
03:21 My team and I are very happy to be in China again, and I am ready to work with the Chinese
03:27 side to open a bright new era in Venezuela - China relations.
03:33 During the meeting, the Chinese head of state, Xi Jinping, praised the good health of bilateral
03:38 relations between China and Venezuela, and stressed his nation's support for the sovereignty
03:43 of the South American nation.
03:49 China and Venezuela are good friends with mutual trust and good partners for common
03:53 development.
03:55 China has always viewed the development of relations with Venezuela from a strategic,
03:59 high-level and long-term perspective, and will, as always, firmly support the efforts
04:06 of Venezuela to safeguard national sovereignty, national dignity and social stability, and
04:12 firmly support Venezuela's just cause of opposing foreign interference.

04:50 relations and to consolidate and deepen cooperation between the two countries in various fields,
04:56 so as to bring more benefits to the people of the two countries and inject more positive
05:00 energy for world peace and development.
05:05 The Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Moros stated that the China-Venezuela High-Level
05:09 Commission is one of the most beneficial for the nations.
05:17 All the commissions have been important.
05:19 I believe they have been fruitful.
05:22 But with the deep knowledge that I have, I say intensely, I believe that this is the
05:27 best day that the China-Venezuela High-Level Commission has ever had for the relationship
05:33 between our countries.
05:36 The Venezuelan Executive Vice President, Delsi Rodriguez, referred to the historic relations
05:41 between both countries and the roles of President Maduro and his counterpart, Xi Jinping, in
05:46 its development.
05:50 We know that China and Venezuela, one heart and one mind for their cooperation and under
05:56 the leadership of President Maduro and President Xi Jinping, have been able to remove from
06:03 the road all the obstacles that our cooperation has suffered in these 22 years of existence

07:34 And now it's time for Venezuela on the move.
07:38 Our series on Venezuelans that found strategies and alternatives to the liabilities resulting
07:44 from sanctions and the problems of the day by day life.
07:48 In this occasion we go to the central west of the country and we will visit in agroecological
07:54 form in the state of Cogedes.
07:57 Our correspondent Adriana Sibori shows us the following report how the agroecological
08:01 form Doña Maria y Don Guillermo and the importance that its workers give to the protection of
08:07 nature.
08:08 Let's see.
08:09 The owner of this agroecological form and ritual at the entrance.
08:16 The people who come from outside put their hands inside because this is curative.
08:20 It cures arthritis.
08:22 It is bachaco soil.
08:24 It is an insect that lives in the tropics and gives out a fungus that has 108 macro
08:28 and macro elements and the body has precisely those 108 elements.
08:34 In the distance one of his neighbors is fishing in silence not even with the passing rain
08:39 does he flinch.
08:41 Here they call fish or any type of meat salado.
08:48 It is expensive to get outside because if we get enough for a kilogram of pasta we do
08:54 not get enough to buy the salado.
08:58 So sometimes I ask permission to come and take 10 or 5 small fish.
09:03 And that's how you push forward.
09:06 That's how I push forward.
09:07 He helps me and I help him.
09:10 As you walk around the area he is observed and a good lunch arrives.
09:17 That's not a coporo.
09:19 That's tilapia.
09:21 How is it going to be a tilapia?
09:23 No, it's a coporo.
09:25 Can't you see?
09:28 He's one of the 14 siblings standing in the land.
09:32 Nature speaks, cries, moans.
09:33 It is true.
09:34 What happens is that we don't understand it.
09:37 If you put your ear to the ground you can hear how the earth warms sound, how the flowers
09:41 grow.
09:42 But man do not know that.
09:44 The planetary system is in crisis.
09:46 Right now you can feel the climate change because unfortunately man has neglected to
09:50 protect the environment and what we do here is to protect the environment in an educational
09:55 way.
09:56 He runs this place by himself.
09:58 His daughters used to help him.
10:00 Now they live abroad.
10:03 That was a nightmare.
10:04 Imagine what it was for me.
10:06 A sacrifice.
10:07 A heart blow in the chest.
10:09 But they will soon come back.
10:10 Here we have everything.
10:12 You throw any grain on the ground and it grows.
10:14 So there is no need to leave the country.
10:19 His brother-in-law lends a hand when he gives environmental courses to students or opens
10:24 for ecotourism.
10:25 Now there is little movement.
10:29 It's difficult.
10:32 Sometimes it's the gasoline.
10:35 Sometimes it's the transportation.
10:40 While the fire continues to burn, on one side in a corner Alma shows decomposed.
10:44 He prepares himself.
10:47 It is totally biodegradable.
10:49 It does not cause side effects to health, to nature.
10:52 What happens with chemical fertilizers?
10:54 They salinize the soil and compact it.
10:58 The bees, their passion.
11:02 Each one in its hive and they have no stinger.
11:06 They are the great pollinators of 270,000 tree species that exist in the tropics and
11:12 they pollinate that amount of trees.
11:14 That is why they have such importance.
11:17 Looking for biologists to start a butterfly farm is his next step.

11:27 And on Wednesday Brazil's Supreme Federal Court began the first four criminal trials
11:31 of the defendants involved in the CUPES acts of January the 8th of this year.
11:37 These are the first four Bolsonaristas to be tried for the role in the invasion and
11:41 looting of the buildings of the three branches of government in Brazil.
11:45 The defendants, Aécio Lucio Costa Pereira, Thiago de Aziz Nemathar and Moazir José dos
11:51 Santos and also Mateus Lima de Carvalho Lázaro, will answer for crimes such as armed criminal
11:57 association, violent abolition of the democratic rule of law and a coup d'état.
12:03 The trial began with the presentation of the case by Minister Alexandre de Moraes.
12:12 On January 8th, 243 people were arrested in the act inside public buildings and in the
12:18 Three Powers Square.
12:19 On January 9th, 1,927 people were taken to the National Police Academy.
12:27 The criminal action engineered by the agents in which the defendants participated had the
12:31 nefarious motive of continuously preventing the regular exercise of constitutional powers
12:36 and provoking the deposition of the legitimately constituted government.
12:41 In Brazil, marches by indigenous women from several regions of the country continue, seeking
12:45 the demarcation and protection of their lands.
12:49 Under the slogan "Women, Biomes in Defense of Biodiversity through Ancestral Roots",
12:54 thousands of indigenous women mobilize in Brazil to defend their rights and demand the
12:59 demarcation of their lands and the end of illegal mining.
13:02 In this sense, next September 20th, the vote on the time frame will be taken up again at
13:07 the Supreme Court, a key trial for indigenous peoples in their ancestral territories.
13:18 In Peru, workers of the Administrative Services Contract regime march on Wednesday to demand
13:23 labor improvements from the government.
13:26 Workers from different parts of the country gathered at the San Martín Square in Lima,
13:30 the capital of Peru, from where they began a march towards the National Congress to demand
13:34 for government agencies and the Ministry of Labor a labor system with decent benefits
13:40 for all public employees.
13:42 The main demand of the workers is the payment of bonuses offered in the month of July, and
13:47 which they have not received so far.
13:54 We the state workers are in a national day of struggle, mainly to stop the abuses and
13:58 lies of the Minister of Economy and Finance.
14:03 One of the first lies is to have signed a collective agreement for a special bonus of
14:07 600 soles that should have been paid in July.
14:14 We are already at the end of September and he has not yet presented a supplementary credit
14:18 bill.
14:22 It lies upon lies.
14:23 He signs an agreement and makes public offers and does not fulfill them.
14:30 He signs the abuses of his officials against the right to collective bargaining that has
14:34 cost us 42 years to achieve.
14:37 U.S. authorities reported that the country registered more than 9 million children in
14:42 poverty.
14:44 According to official data, this is the highest increase in poverty for minors in a single
14:48 year in the history of the country.
14:50 According to Sharon Pavlitz, who chairs the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, this
14:55 increase is the responsibility of the Congress.

15:42 Welcome back.
15:44 Iran and Iraq announced that the implementation of the security agreement, which to confront
15:49 terrorism, will start on Friday.
15:51 The announcement was made by the diplomatic heads of both nations, who met this Wednesday
15:56 in Tehran.
15:57 Both the Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Houssein and his Iranian counterpart, Houssein Amir
16:02 Abdullahian, spoke positively of the agreement signed earlier this year to protect their
16:07 common border, especially in the Kurdish region of northern Iraq.
16:11 The agreement comes after a series of attacks perpetrated by Iran against Iraqi territory,
16:16 targeting armed groups sheltering on the other side of the border.
16:20 The agreement commits the states to disarm the insurgent groups and withdraw their bases,
16:26 the deployment of border guards to prevent infiltration of militants across the border,
16:30 and the handover to Iran of suspects wanted under the law.

16:50 Let's move on to other topics.
16:52 On Wednesday, the city of Derna in eastern Libya reported death tolls in the thousands,
16:58 and a very high number of people were feared dead after two dams burst under the pressure
17:03 of torrential rains, releasing powerful floodwaters that swept away everything in their path.
17:09 Given the difficult access to this town of 100,000 inhabitants, uncertainties remain
17:14 over the number of victims of the disaster, which could have left several thousand people
17:19 dead or missing, according to the authorities.
17:26 Lebanon sent a military plane with humanitarian aid to Libya, departing from Marka military
17:31 airport in Eman. A senior official said that his country's government remains in close
17:35 cooperation with the Libyan authorities. Let's hear it.
17:41 We are in continuous communication with authorities there to assess their needs and to know whether
17:48 they need more aid. We focused in this shipment on basic necessities, such as food and relief
17:58 aid like tents, blankets, and whatever is needed in such conditions, in addition to
18:05 food parcels suitable for such situations.
18:12 Italian military and firefighters load material, including inflatable boats, onto a plane at
18:17 Pisa airport before it heads to flood-hit Libya. On Wednesday, the Italian defence ministry
18:23 announced it will send a ship and two planes to the North African country to deliver material
18:28 and help rescue efforts following the catastrophic floods that have left at least thousands dead
18:34 and missing.
18:39 The French aircraft, carrying around 40 rescuers and several tons of medical equipment, including
18:44 a field hospital, is preparing to take off from the Istres military base in south of
18:49 France for Libya to help those affected by the deadly floods. This assistance comes in
18:55 addition to the efforts provided by other nations such as Turkey, Egypt, and the United
19:00 Arab Emirates, which were among the first countries to respond to the catastrophe in
19:05 the world's scarcest country that also displaced tens of thousands.
19:13 In Morocco, an aftershock of magnitude 3.9 shakes the province of Al-Hawuz south of Marrakech.
19:20 The new quake occurred while authorities were searching and rescuing people. No new loss
19:24 of life or material losses have been reported as a result of this earthquake. This after
19:29 the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that occurred five days ago and left more than 3,000 dead
19:36 and more than 2,000 injured.
19:41 And the South Korean Prime Minister, Han Deok-su, was in Poland on Wednesday for talks on regional
19:48 security amid the conflict in neighbouring Ukraine. Han Deok-su also addressed military
19:54 cooperation in nuclear energy as the two countries continue to strengthen ties. Han and his Polish
19:59 counterpart Mateusz Morawiecki visited an airbase in Minsk, Masowiecki and eastern Poland,
20:06 where they observed Korean F/A-50 fighter jets that Poland recently purchased, along
20:11 with other military equipment.
20:17 And the Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, on Wednesday reshuffled his cabinet and key
20:22 party posts to strengthen his position ahead of a key party leadership vote next year.
20:28 Kishida appointed a new defence minister and the country's first female foreign minister
20:32 since 2004. Kishida also appointed five women to the 19-member cabinet as part of his attempt
20:39 to improve the low support ratings for his previous male-dominated cabinet, which had
20:43 only two women. The five women matched the number in two previous Japanese cabinets in
20:48 2014 and 2001.
