00:02 In Argentina, President Javier Millet
00:10 plans to dismiss 70,000 government employees
00:13 in the coming month.
00:14 In Palestine, Israeli aggressions
00:19 continue despite the UN Security Council's binding resolution
00:22 ordering a ceasefire in Gaza.
00:28 And in Burkina Faso, the army reporting imprisonment
00:30 of more than 100 terrorists in the east of the country.
00:33 Hello, welcome to From the South.
00:40 I'm Luis Alberto Matos from the Lesus Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:44 We begin with the news.
00:45 The president of Argentina, Javier Millet,
00:48 assured that he would not renew any of the 70,000 contracts
00:51 of national state workers.
00:53 During a speech in front of his country's businessmen,
00:55 he promised the 70,000 layoffs while enumerating
00:58 the achievements of his administration,
01:00 referring to 50,000 public employees
01:02 dismissed from their jobs.
01:04 He added not only that, but also that contracts were terminated,
01:07 pointing out that now more than 70,000 will be laid off.
01:10 After the president's statement was made public,
01:12 the Secretary General of the State Workers Association,
01:14 Rodolfo Aguiar, indicated that such a measure
01:17 was unthinkable since it would paralyze the state.
01:20 On Tuesday in Brazil, President Luis Inácio da Silva
01:28 received the president of France,
01:29 Emmanuel Macron, in Belém, in the north of the country.
01:32 It is the first visit of a French president in 11 years.
01:35 Macron begins his three-day tour of the South American giant
01:38 in a symbolic place.
01:39 In 2025, the state of Paraguay will host the 30th United
01:43 Nations Conference on Climate Change, COP 30.
01:46 Together with the local and native authorities,
01:49 as well as several members of the government cabinet,
01:52 the head of state went on several tours.
01:54 One of the highlights was a meeting
01:56 with several members of the Kayapo ethnic group
01:58 and their chief, Rouani Medugdire,
02:01 a world icon in the struggle for the preservation
02:03 of the Amazon rainforest.
02:04 In Venezuela, President Néstor Azmodo denounced
02:11 the destabilization actions and assassination attempts
02:14 against him carried out by the extreme far-right.
02:17 The head of state indicated that authorities captured this Monday
02:21 two supporters of the ultra-right-wing movement
02:24 Venta Venezuela, who intended to make an attempt against his life
02:27 during the march that accompanied him to raise
02:29 his candidacy for the presidential elections of next
02:31 July 28.
02:33 Likewise, those captured will be presented before the Controlled
02:35 Terrorism Court for the charges of attempted assassination,
02:38 instigation to hatred, and illicit carrying of firearms
02:41 in places where it was prohibited.
02:43 The president also pointed out that two terrorist groups
02:46 seeking to destabilize the peace of the country
02:48 have been dismantled in the last 15 days.
02:50 They are not only after me to try
02:58 to make an attempt on my life, as was demonstrated yesterday
03:02 with the arrest of two individuals
03:03 from the terrorist movement called Com Venezuela.
03:10 It would rather be Com Terrorist.
03:12 And they keep silent.
03:14 The right-wing governments keep silent.
03:16 And so does the cowardly left.
03:21 They are not capable of condemning
03:22 the coups, the attempts against a revolution, against peace.
03:28 The government of Nicaragua sent its warm greetings
03:31 to President Nicolás Maduro for his recent election
03:33 as presidential candidate for the United Socialist
03:35 Party of Venezuela ahead of the presidential elections
03:37 on July 28, 2024.
03:39 Through an official statement, the Sandinista government
03:41 celebrated President Nicolás Maduro, the first combatant
03:44 Celia Flores, the PSUV, and the noble Bolivarian people
03:48 at a time when the United States and its allies
03:50 have once again unleashed themselves
03:51 against the sovereign will of the Venezuelan people.
03:54 The Nicaraguan government also ratified
03:56 its unconditional love and its permanent fraternal relations
03:59 with the Bolivarian revolution to fight
04:01 for the inalienable rights of both nations.
04:03 The statement also highlighted the common destiny
04:05 shared by Venezuela and Nicaragua
04:06 in the everlasting struggle to live in a free homeland.
04:09 From Cuba, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez
04:18 assured that Venezuela has the right
04:19 to develop its electoral process without interference
04:22 or impositions.
04:24 In his official account on the social platform X,
04:26 the Cuban minister stressed Venezuela
04:28 has the right to develop the electoral process in accordance
04:31 with its constitution, norms, and electoral schedule
04:34 without interference or impositions.
04:36 We reject imported attempts to resort to violence
04:39 against the course of the process
04:40 in the context of peace and security
04:42 for the Venezuelan people.
04:43 The regime of exception in El Salvador
04:50 completes two years amid complaints
04:52 from social organizations and citizens
04:54 about arbitrary detentions against innocent people.
04:57 Citizens are claiming the innocence
04:58 of their relatives regarding the arbitrary detentions
05:01 committed under the emergency regime.
05:03 Humanitarian organizations state that they
05:05 have received at least 6,000 complaints of human rights
05:08 violations, including illegal detentions, death in state
05:11 custody, and torture of detainees.
05:13 The emergency regime measures has been extended 24 times,
05:16 and it suspends the constitutional guarantees
05:18 of the defense of the detainees, the inviolability
05:21 of telecommunications, and prolongs
05:22 provisional detention for up to 15 days.
05:24 The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador,
05:32 CONAI, held the government of President Nani Novoa
05:34 responsible for the brutal repression against farmers
05:37 of Palo Quemado.
05:39 State security forces were only brought
05:41 into this community in the central province of Cotopaxi.
05:44 Its inhabitants, few more than 1,000, and almost all farmers,
05:48 reject the La Plata mining project,
05:50 which will affect several communities in the area.
05:53 Prior to the events, President Novoa,
05:55 who has not been able to alleviate the serious crisis
05:57 of freedom of violence that the nation is experiencing,
06:00 warned those who defend the land and the environment
06:02 that he would not tolerate violent acts.
06:04 In his counter, Leonidas Issa, president of CONAI,
06:07 reminded him of the state's commitment.
06:08 The Bolivian government inaugurated this Tuesday
06:15 the first biodiesel plant in the country
06:17 in the department of Santa Cruz, with the goal
06:20 of producing a cleaner fuel.
06:22 Bolivian President Luis Arce said
06:24 that the plant will produce ecological diesel
06:26 and will have a certain mixture of fossil fuel
06:28 diesel for its commercialization.
06:30 Authorities estimate that the plant will process some 1,500
06:34 barrels of biodiesel daily with vegetable oils from plants,
06:39 such as macoto, African palm, and soybeans, among others.
06:43 Edgar Cortes, the engineer of the company Bolivian Fiscal
06:46 Oilfields, confirmed that the $54 million project
06:50 is ready to produce and store the biofuel.

07:17 Welcome back.
07:42 In Russia, the results of the first investigation
07:44 into last Friday's attack on the Krokus city hall
07:46 on the outskirts of Moscow confirm the existence
07:48 of a Ukrainian fingerprint.
07:50 However, the head of the Federal Security Service,
07:52 Alexander Vortnikov, assured that Moscow
07:55 will continue to investigate whether the presence
07:57 and participation of the Ukrainian side is real or not.
07:59 Meanwhile, the chairman of the Russian Investigation Committee,
08:02 Alexander Vastrykin, stated that all those accused
08:04 of perpetrating the terrorist attack in Krokus
08:07 have acknowledged their guilt.
08:08 He also pointed out that the terrorists have detailed
08:11 information about the masterminds and accomplices
08:13 in the preparation of the attack.
08:14 Pope Francis lamented on Tuesday the advance
08:22 of drug trafficking and violence in the Argentine city of Rosario
08:26 and urged to work for peace.
08:27 The Supreme Pontiff pointed out in a video
08:29 that it is necessary to understand
08:31 the need for the presence of security forces
08:33 to bring peace to the community.
08:35 However, he admitted that in order
08:37 to reach the path of peace, complex and integral answers
08:39 must be found, with the collaboration of all
08:41 the institutions that make up the life of a society.
08:44 Pope Francis emphasized the search for consensus
08:47 and dialogue to generate laws and public policies that
08:49 recover the social structure.
08:51 He also warned about the complicity
08:53 of the private sector and affirmed
08:54 that there is a great task ahead for the business world,
08:57 not only in the prevention of complicity in business
09:00 with mafia organizations, but also in social commitment.

09:10 Israeli aggressions have not stopped
09:26 despite the UN Security Council's binding resolution
09:28 ordering a ceasefire in Gaza.
09:31 Palestinian government accuses Israel of carrying out
09:33 a massacre in Rafah and health centers.
09:35 The foreign ministry assured that the Zionists want
09:37 to expand the genocidal operation in Gaza
09:39 in the midst of a deep political crisis.
09:41 Israeli analysts say that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
09:44 is trying to deepen the ground war besieged
09:46 by extremists in his cabinet, while humanitarian organizations
09:50 are demanding that the United Nations enforce the ceasefire
09:53 resolution.
09:54 [END PLAYBACK]
10:02 In Palestine, the continuous attack
10:03 of the Israeli military forces keeps on killing elders, women,
10:07 and children.
10:08 The Rafah citizens are in dire need of humanitarian aid.
10:11 Our correspondent, Noor Harassin, has the details.
10:15 172 of Israeli attacks on the coastal enclave
10:19 and talking about some of the highlights,
10:22 the Israeli warplanes targeted the city of Rafah
10:26 with tens of strikes over a night,
10:29 even though until this moment, Rafah
10:32 is considered Gaza's green area, Gaza's safest place.
10:36 Until this day, the IDF is calling actually Palestinians
10:40 and asking Palestinians to evacuate to the city of Rafah.
10:44 However, now most of the Israeli strikes
10:47 and most of the Israeli attacks are happening in Rafah.
10:52 Overnight, the Israeli warplanes targeted the Doher family
10:55 home, where two people were killed,
10:58 including an 11-year-old child.
11:01 They also targeted the Al-Hamaidah family home,
11:04 where two people were killed, including one woman.
11:08 Also in a separate Israeli strike on the Ash-Shaboura
11:11 refugee camp, the Palestinian journalist Ula Lubad
11:15 was killed, along with her husband and two children.
11:18 And this brought up the death toll here in Gaza
11:22 among Palestinian journalists up to 137.
11:28 And the total death toll of Palestinians
11:30 since the 7th of October is now at 32,414 Palestinians.
11:37 Talking about the humanitarian situation,
11:40 I mean things are getting bad, worse every single day,
11:46 even though there is a great pressure on Israel and Egypt
11:50 to allow more aid into the Gaza Strip.
11:53 However, what is happening here on the ground
11:55 that we are talking about less than 100 trucks per day,
11:59 while the coastal enclave needs at least 1,000 trucks per day
12:06 on a daily basis to meet the needs of the people.
12:09 Nouha Razin, Telessour, Gaza.
12:13 Palestinian authorities denounce that more than 5,800 students
12:16 have been killed by Israel since it began its genocidal operation
12:19 in the Gaza Strip.
12:20 According to the Palestinian Ministry of Education,
12:23 around 5,826 Palestinian students
12:25 were killed in bombardment by the Israeli occupation forces
12:28 since October 2023, and those injured reached 9,570.
12:33 While in the occupied West Bank, 55 students were killed
12:35 and 329 were injured.
12:37 The agency for detailed that 264 teachers and administrators
12:40 were also killed.
12:41 The ministry noted that 286 public schools and 65 schools
12:45 affiliated with the United Nations Refugee Relief and Works
12:47 Agency were bombed and vandalized in the Gaza Strip,
12:51 resulting in 111 of them being severely damaged and 40
12:55 completely destroyed.
12:56 The UN's Human Rights Council supports the conclusion
13:03 by the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Palestine
13:05 that Israel is committing acts of genocide against that nation.
13:09 The rapporteur Francesca Albanese
13:11 explained that Israel is characterizing the entire Gaza
13:14 population as "targetable, killable, and destroyable"
13:17 and has "ostentatiously laid bare its genocidal intent."
13:20 Dozens of diplomats, mostly from Arab and Muslim countries
13:23 and also Latin America, took the floor
13:25 to defend Albanese's mandate and work.
13:27 On the other hand, speaking for the Organization
13:29 of Islamic Cooperation, Pakistan backed her call
13:32 for sanctions and an arms embargo.
13:34 These acts of genocide have been motivated
13:41 by vehement anti-Palestinian discourse,
13:44 which characterizes the entire Palestinian people in Gaza
13:47 as enemies to be eradicated or forcibly removed.
13:51 This rhetoric has been pervasive across all segments
13:53 of Israeli society.
13:55 That Israeli high-ranking officials
13:56 with command authority routinely called on soldiers
14:00 to annihilate the people of Gaza is compelling evidence
14:04 of explicit and public incitement to commit genocide.

14:42 In Burkina Faso, the army reported
14:44 that it neutralized more than 100 terrorists
14:45 in the east of the nation.
14:47 According to military intelligence services,
14:49 on Monday, there was a massive arrival of extremists
14:52 in the locality of Ghaeri.
14:53 On Tuesday, a ground mission with an air rearguard
14:56 was deployed and after an intense confrontation,
14:58 they managed to eliminate 105 terrorists
15:00 and expel those who survived the military operation.
15:03 They also reported the seizure of numerous ammunition
15:05 and weapons.
15:06 This is one of the first massive operations carried out
15:08 by the Burkina Faso army without foreign troops.
15:11 Senegal woke up Tuesday to a new president-elect,
15:14 Bacirou Dioumaye Faye, a former tax inspector
15:16 and political newcomer recently released from prison.
15:19 Faye was catapulted into a presidential campaign
15:21 after being backed by a popular opposition leader
15:24 and politically incapacitated Ousmane Sonko.
15:26 The election followed months of unrest
15:28 ignited by Faye and Sonko's arrest last year
15:31 of concerns that the president would seek a third term
15:34 in office despite constitutional changes.
15:36 The president-elect, Bacirou Dioumaye Faye,
15:38 was also asked to seek a third term in office
15:40 despite constitutional terms limits.
15:42 The violence shook Senegal's reputation
15:44 as a stable democracy in a region that
15:46 has seen a wave of coups.
15:47 Riots groups said dozens were killed in the protests
15:50 while some 1,000 people were jailed.
15:52 In this context, the newly elected president of Senegal
15:59 delivered his first speech after his victory
16:01 in the presidential election.
16:02 In his address, he said that Senegal
16:04 will engage with its partners in a virtuous, respectful,
16:07 and mutually productive cooperation.
16:35 A government on Tuesday began handing over
16:37 to relatives the bodies of 429 members of a doomsday
16:40 cult at the center of a legal case that
16:43 has shocked the country.
16:45 Exhumed bodies from a bas-relief area in coastal Kenya
16:48 have shown signs of starvation and strangulation.
16:50 Cult leader Paul McKenzie is accused
16:52 of asking his followers to starve themselves to death
16:55 to meet Jesus and now faces charges that include murder.
16:58 Authorities are using DNA testing
17:00 to help identify bodies and their families.
17:02 On Tuesday, the first bodies were handed over
17:04 to relatives, emotions panned high at the Malindi Mortuary
17:08 as families collected loved ones for pre-burial.
17:11 Some were overwhelmed.
17:12 Humanities celebrates this March 26th, World Climate Day,
17:21 declared by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
17:24 in 1992, to raise awareness of its importance
17:26 on the influence of global warming.
17:28 According to the latest flagship report,
17:30 the State of the World's Climate 2023,
17:33 launched by the World Meteorological Organization
17:35 and the United Nations headquarters in Geneva,
17:36 unprecedented weather extremes were recorded worldwide
17:39 last year and numerous records were broken.
17:42 Climate is defined as the set of weather and atmospheric
17:45 conditions in a geographic area over an extended period of time
17:48 with variables such as wind, precipitation, humidity,
17:51 atmospheric pressure, and temperature.
17:57 The year 2023 set new records for every single climate
18:04 indicator.
18:06 This annual report shows that the climate crisis
18:10 is the defining challenge that humanity faces.
18:15 It is closely intertwined with inequality crisis,
18:19 as witnessed by growing food insecurity, population
18:23 displacement, and biodiversity loss.
18:26 Glacier loss was the largest on record last year.
18:31 These are the water towers of the world.
18:35 They are our fresh water reservoirs.
18:39 Sea ice depletion in the Antarctica
18:41 was one of the major climate facts recorded in 2023.
18:48 Now let's go to the world of sports, especially gymnastics,
18:50 because a Colombian athlete, Angel Hernandez,
18:52 obtained his qualification to Paris 24.
18:55 After the final round on Sunday, March 24,
18:57 in the fifth stop of the trampoline gymnastics world
18:59 cup, Hernandez qualified to the next Olympic Games.
19:02 In a sense, the Colombian got the 41st ticket
19:05 for his country in the international multi-sport
19:07 event, and he's the second gymnast to enter the games.
19:11 After Luisa Franco, Blanco, in the artistic gymnastics,
19:15 Hernandez got his place by placing 8th, 13th,
19:18 counting the gymnasts already qualified with 51 points
19:21 overall and occupying the 13th position out
19:23 of 16 eligible athletes in the ranking.
19:25 We now move on to the world of baseball.
19:32 On Monday, the Diablos Rojos of Mexico
19:34 defeated New York Yankees by a score of 8 to 5
19:37 to complete a two-game series sweep as part of two exhibition
19:41 games.
19:42 This game was a combination of the New York Yankees'
19:44 team's visit to Mexico as part of this preparation
19:47 for the 2024 season.
19:48 Mexican League team's victory came thanks
19:50 to a comeback on the scoreboard that
19:52 allowed a Mexican Rojo field with former MLB players
19:55 to sweep one of the post-post Premier's Bowl and strikes
19:58 team.
19:59 After the game, former Major League Baseball player
20:01 and current Mexican League player, Trevor Bauer,
20:04 talked about his positive experience in Latin America.
20:06 I love playing in the atmosphere with the music's
20:12 going the whole game, the chants.
20:15 That's like a party every time they come to the game.
20:18 That's something I think that baseball in America
20:22 would be good for baseball in America to have more of that.
20:27 But that's part of the benefit of going and seeing
20:29 baseball around the world and seeing different cultures
20:32 because you pick up things that are good.
20:33 And Japan does some things better than the United States.
20:36 And the United States does some things better than Japan.
20:39 And if we can find a way to make all of those things
20:41 come together, then baseball can be
20:43 as fun as possible for everybody.
20:46 We have come to the end of this news break.
