00:00The advance of occupying troops over land into Lebanon has been halted by the Islamic
00:15Resistance forces.
00:20The Prosecutor's Office of Venezuela announced the arrest of Rafael RamÃrez Colina, Mayor
00:25of Maracaibo, capital of the southern northwestern state for corruption, while he was in his
00:30post.
00:31And in the Dominican Republic, President Luis Avelar announced Wednesday that he will carry
00:38out an operation to expel 10,000 illegal Haitians every week.
00:49Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Delezou Studios in
00:53Havana, Cuba.
00:54And we begin with the news.
01:11The advance of occupying troops over land into Lebanon has been halted by the Islamic
01:16Resistance forces.
01:17In this context, Hezbollah's artillery hit the Zionist troops stationed between Stula
01:21and Jaheb.
01:22Shortly after, it launched rocket attacks at Israeli bases near the Adamid settlements,
01:26with two Burkhan missiles hitting close to the Rahib military site.
01:30This way, the Lebanese Resistance confirmed seven different strikes that have been able
01:34to stop the advances of the Israeli forces in the southern region.
01:37For their part, the Zionist occupiers' aircraft dropped bombs on residential neighborhoods
01:42of Beirut.
01:48UN Secretary-General António Guterres confirmed that the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces
01:52for Lebanon remain in the country despite Israel's demands for their withdrawal.
01:56According to the Secretary's office, the Zionist government demanded the withdrawal
01:59of the peacekeepers from positions near the Blue Line, the factor bordering between Lebanon
02:04and Israel, claiming that they were trying to protect the UN forces.
02:07However, the UN has taken both operational and political decisions to stay.
02:17And Hezbollah leaders have denied that the Israeli regime is attacking military targets
02:21and reaffirmed that, on the contrary, Tel Aviv is targeting the civilian population.
02:26The Lebanese Resistance stressed that there were no weapons of any kind in the buildings
02:29targeted by the Israeli forces.
02:32The movement emphasized that systematic aggressions against residential areas by the occupation
02:36entity would only increase the determination of the Lebanese people to support the resistance.
02:46And Israel published on Thursday a report of the Iranian bombardment in response to
02:49the Martyrdom of Hassan Nasrallah, acknowledging that 180 missiles hit the territory.
02:55This way, the Zionist regime claimed that the damage caused to military bases was minor,
03:00while satellite images distributed by Middle Eastern agencies indicate the opposite.
03:04In addition, Israel warned that it is preparing a forceful response and seeking alliances
03:08in Europe.
03:09In this context, Washington has asked Tel Aviv to limit its response to Iran, while
03:13in Tehran the foreign ministry has summoned the accredited diplomatic missions to explain
03:18in detail the attack on Israeli objectives.
03:26In this context, on Thursday, the Israeli occupation army carried out new aerial attacks
03:29against the capital of Lebanon, Beirut.
03:32The bombing occurred in the Morwat neighborhood, located to the south of the Lebanese capital,
03:36although the Israeli forces continued without providing any information on the matter.
03:41Meanwhile, the Hezbollah resistance movement confirmed the detonation of an explosive device
03:45targeting a checkpoint of the occupying forces in the locality of Marun al-Ras.
03:50Two Israeli soldiers were reported killed in the explosion, while several were wounded.
04:00And almost a year after the Israeli genocide against Palestine at the peak of conflict
04:04in the Middle East, Mayal Saddani, Human Rights Advocate and Executive Director of the Tahrir
04:09Institute for Middle East Policy, says the role of the United States has been extremely
04:14judgmental to the region.
04:16Unfortunately, the U.S. role in Gaza and now Lebanon has been one that has not been productive.
04:22In fact, in many times it's been extremely.
04:24It keeps moving the goalposts.
04:28Meanwhile, in Cuba, Jews are leading a national campaign in solidarity with the Palestinian
04:32cause and to denounce the genocide the Israeli regime is committing on the territory.
04:36The initiative will last until October 7th, a date that marks one year since the start
04:41of the Saddani onslaught against the Gaza Strip that has caused the lives of more than
04:4541,000 people.
04:46The call, launched on Monday by the Union of Young Communists of Cuba, urges young people
04:51not to remain indifferent and unite in defense of life.
04:54To this end, various activities will be carried out during the week to generate awareness
04:58of the situation in Palestine and reaffirm the strong solidarity of the Cuban people
05:03with the Palestinian cause.
05:07And on Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry shot down 113 Ukrainian drones in four regions
05:14in the southwest of the country.
05:16Russian authorities described the Kiev attack as terrorist and reported that 73 drones had
05:21been intercepted in Belgorod.
05:23While in Moroznets, Russian troops hit 25 others, in addition to tearing down 14 drones
05:28in Kursk and one in Bryansk.
05:30These affected cities regularly registered shellings, drone raids and other strikes from
05:34across the border, forcing the population to seek refuge in safe places.
05:38Since February 24, 2022, Russia has conducted a special military operation to protect the
05:43people from Ukraine.

08:04of combating corruption for the sake of the public administration's honesty and order
08:09in the country.
08:10The authority entity further referred that both the mayor and his collaborators will
08:14be presented in the coming hours before the Court of Small Causes to be charged for the
08:18serious offenses.
08:19Moreover, the Prosecutor's Office informed that in coordination with the National Police
08:23specialized in cracking down on corruption, they collected paramount evidence that incriminated
08:28the detainees.
08:34The Humanitarian Legal Assistance NGO of El Salvador launched a campaign to demand a government
08:39proof of life of thousands of people detained by the emergency regime pursued by President
08:44Nayib Bukele.
08:45As part of the assistance provided to the families of isolated detainees, the NGO requested
08:49judges to order a medical examination in prisons.
08:53So far, the police have incarcerated over 81,900 people.
08:57Therefore, humanitarian entities described many of the arrests as arbitrary and illegal.
09:02In addition, they denounced death and serious injuries, assuring that Bukele is setting
09:06a fake security model.
09:13The unconstitutional President Nayib Bukele, let's say something important about him.
09:20He went there to the United Nations to lie.
09:23That is the truth.
09:25The unconstitutional President Nayib Bukele went to the United Nations to lie.
09:31Why do I say he was lying?
09:34Because he dared to say that human rights are respected here in El Salvador, which first
09:40of all is not true.
09:42Here, there are thousands of innocent people who are being processed unfairly for 30 months
09:50already in five prisons.
09:53And the majority isn't in top security Secot prison, of which he makes so much propaganda
10:03in favor of what we now know as the regime of exception.
10:08Clara Sheinbaum signed her first presidential decree recognizing on behalf of the Mexican
10:13state the acts of violence perpetrated on October 2, 1968 against the student movement
10:18for crimes against humanity.
10:20From Mexico City, Antonio Aranda has the details.
10:25The silenced struggle of 1964 marked the beginning of a deep democratic change in Mexico.
10:30But it was marked by violence and serious human rights violations.
10:34Tens of thousands of young students demonstrated peacefully in defense of civil liberties and
10:40democracy.
10:43Pablo Gomez, a current federal official, offered his testimony as a political prisoner of the
10:48student movement.
10:52The message and objective of the movement was very much picked up.
10:56The democratic freedoms, part of those who picked up and have been picking up since then
11:01that message, that practice, that rebellion, that struggle, is the fourth transformation.
11:11Claudia Sheinbaum fulfilled the slogan October 2 is not forgotten and dedicated her first
11:16conference to commemorate this student movement.
11:19Today, in the first morning conference of the people and maintaining the continuity of the
11:23fourth transformation, we will dedicate it to October 2.
11:33President Sheinbaum emphasized that the assassination of the young students at the hand of the
11:37Diaz Ordaz government in the Tricultural Square in Tlatelcolco in 1964 paved the way for the
11:42democratic transformation of Mexico.
11:45It was a movement at that time, and if you look at it, their demands were for no repression and
11:50democracy.
11:52Those young people later paved the way for the democratic struggle in the country and what we
11:56are living today.
11:58So let's hope that the youth will always be close to the people.
12:02As they do every year, the survivors of the 1964 National Strike Council gathered in the
12:06Tricultural Square to commemorate 56 years of these tragic events.
12:14That freedom continue to expand in Mexico, that there be more democracy, more participation,
12:19more participation in the struggle, and that the youth will always be close to the people.
12:25That freedom continue to expand in Mexico, that there be more democracy, more participation, and
12:31above all, that there be justice for the workers and the exploited people.
12:38The people marched to the capital Zocalo, and the students recognized that the struggle for
12:43democracy and human rights continues.
12:46It is worrying that year after year, we have the same demands, and now we are joining the issue of
12:51the 43 disappeared.
12:55The current government expressed its commitment to offer guarantees of non-repetition of events
13:00such as those of 1964, which it considers to be serious human rights violations.
13:07For this reason, President Calderón called for a national strike.

14:49explanation to respect our immigration laws that are fundamental for any country.
