00:00In Peru, President Dilma Rousseff resigned after the opening of an investigation against

00:10her for alleged abandonment of office.

00:16In South Korea, members of President Jun Suk-kyo's party walked out of parliament ahead of an

00:21impeachment vote scheduled for Saturday over his attempt to impose martial law.

00:28In Romania, Kalin Jurgicu, winner of the first round of presidential elections, will contest

00:32the decision invalidating them and confirms that he will also run in the new elections

00:37which have not yet been scheduled.

00:45Hello and welcome from the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from the Telestucio studios

00:49in Havana, Cuba.

00:50We begin with the news.

00:51We begin in Peru, President Dilma Rousseff ruled out resigning after the opening of an

01:08investigation against her for alleged abandonment of office.

01:12The Peruvian president ratified that she will complete her term of office, which expires

01:16on July 28, 2026, saying that the possibility of her resignation is not in her plans.

01:21In this regard, the Public Prosecutor's Office opened a preliminary investigation against

01:25Boluarte for alleged crimes of omission of functional acts and alternatively abandonment

01:30of office between June 29 and July 9, 2023, when she underwent a plastic surgery.

01:37To this must be added the fact that during her term in office, Boluarte raised her historic

01:41laws in popular approval.

01:48A survey carried out in September and made public on Sunday confirmed that the rejection

01:52of the administration of the president of Peru, Dilma Boluarte, continues to increase.

01:57According to the survey, 92% of citizens disapprove the performance of the head of state, while

02:02the figure of acceptance is 5% of those voted.

02:06In the last month, the country has been shaken by crimes and extortions that the current

02:09executive is unable to manage.

02:12These figures are released after two days of strikes by the transportation workers,

02:15who have called for a national strike of all sectors and on Saturday announced the

02:20rupture of the dialogue with the legislators due to the refusal of Congress to repeal Law

02:243108 and to file the law on urban terrorism.

02:34In Colombia, the persecution and attacks suffered by young people during the social outbursts

02:37of 2019 continues.

02:39That is why they do not stop mobilizing.

02:41Let's see the following report.

02:44Joana González is a 26-year-old activist who is demonstrating in front of the Congress

02:51of the Republic in search of answers and guarantees for the disappearance of her sister Lisette,

02:57with whom she created the project Punto Renacer, a community communication collective to make

03:03visible social problems in the country.

03:08In the framework of all this, they made an invitation to my sister, they made an invitation

03:14to us to cover a mobilization.

03:16This mobilization was for the commemoration of April 28th, which was being commemorated

03:22one year after the national strike of 2021.

03:26And it was under the premise that she would be back in 15 days.

03:34But Lisette did not return, just like many other young people.

03:38Her disappearance is part of a reality that many young activists have faced, and in which

03:42many others have suffered persecution for years, as is the case of young Alejandro Hernández,

03:48a front-line protester during the 2019 social outburst, who was held by the police and deprived

03:55of his freedom for almost 19 months.

03:59We have to take into account that it has not only been a persecution by the state, but

04:06also a stigmatization, because we are branded as vandals, as guerrillas, and so on.

04:12I was in a village in an activity of memory in a massacre that took place in La Pedregosa,

04:19in Cauca.

04:24And I was kidnapped for the second time, because first I was kidnapped by the state, and the

04:28second time here, with these armed criminal forces on the margin of the law.

04:33I was kidnapped for three days by them.

04:35So there has been persecution from all sides.

04:45Despite this, young Alejandro continues to fight for his rights, just as he did when

04:50he took to the streets in 2019 to show his dissatisfaction with the health system because

04:56of a surgery he had been denied after a long process.

05:00Just like him, Daniela Cárcamo, who went out for the first time as an activist, continues

05:06to mobilize to make her voice heard and ask for her rights and those of other Colombians

05:11to be respected.

05:15People are too afraid to exercise their rights.

05:18People are afraid to even write a right of petition.

05:21Imagine how afraid people are to march.

05:24But the message to everyone would be that if you can, come with us, because that makes

05:29them attack us less.

05:30It makes the police respect us more.

05:32I remember that the indigenous collectives accompanied us after they saw that the police

05:37were beating us all over the place and shooting rubber bullets and all kinds of artifacts.

05:42The indigenous collectives accompanied us, and then the mothers came out, and then all

05:47the people came out.

05:48The police no longer felt they had the power to harm us.

05:57Daniela asks the population to accompany the young people to the streets to fight for their

06:02rights, but above all, not to stigmatize them.

06:06Valeria Cardona, TELESUR, Bogota, Colombia.

06:09In a news in Venezuela, the government declared to the world its own Bolivarian military doctrine,

06:13stressing that it is not imperialist nor an imitation of anyone.

06:17During a work meeting with the military commanders of the higher and tactical units of the Bolivarian

06:21National Armed Forces, President Nicolás Maduro affirmed that thanks to the efforts

06:25of each of the elements that make up the troops of the Bolivarian Revolution, the country

06:29was able to have its own military doctrine without foreign influence.

06:33Likewise, the Venezuelan head of state recalled that 26 years ago, Commander Hugo Chávez

06:38was appointed president of the country under the vote of the people, initiating a new stage

06:42in the 21st century.

06:44The president also announced that next December 9th, the country will commemorate the 200th

06:49anniversary of the great victory of Ayacucho, remembering as a historical moment in the

06:54Latin American continent.

07:00Because if there is something that Venezuela can say today with absolute clarity and firmness

07:10before the whole world, is that Venezuela has its own military doctrine.

07:21It is not foreign.

07:22It is not imperialist.

07:23It is not imposed.

07:24It is not an imitation of anyone.

07:27It is our military doctrine.

07:29It is our strategic concept of defense.

07:31It is our strategic concept of defense.

07:37We now have a short break coming up, but first remember you can join us on Tiktok at El Esplendor

07:41English, where you'll find news in different formats, news updates and much more.

07:45We'll be right back, stay with us.

07:58Welcome back.

08:07Cuba prepares to celebrate the 52nd anniversary of the establishment of relations with the

08:10Caribbean community, CARICOM.

08:12At the Palace of the Revolution in Havana, the head of state ratified his country's support

08:16and solidarity with his Caribbean neighbors before their representatives.

08:20This December 8th, Cuba commemorates friendship with the brotherly peoples of the Caribbean

08:25During the meeting with the 14 representatives created in Cuba, the President, in addition

08:29to conveying an affectionate greeting from Army General Raul Castro Ruz, thanked the

08:34Caribbean solidarity.

08:41This is an occasion to thank you on behalf of the Cuban people and government for the

08:45constant support of CARICOM to Cuba in all international forums.

08:49Your open opposition to the economic block of the United States against our country,

08:53which has remained unchanged over time.

08:55The support and gestures of political and material solidarity aid to the Cuban people

09:00by the United States before the difficult circumstances that our nation lives, and more

09:05recently before the affectations caused by earthquakes and hurricanes.

09:10In a landmark operation in the Caucedo port near Santo Domingo, Dominican authorities

09:14seized 9.5 tons of cocaine, marking the largest drug bust in the country's history.

09:20The second biggest seizure on record was reported in 2006, when officials found more than 5,680

09:26pounds.

09:27On this occasion, the cocaine was hidden within two shipping containers filled with bananas.

09:32According to police authorities, the shipment came from Guatemala and was destined for Belgium.

09:37The estimated street value of the confiscated drugs is around $250 million.

09:43Authorities have arrested 10 individuals linked to this operation.

09:46So far in 2024, Dominican law enforcement has confiscated nearly 47 tons of illegal

09:51drugs.

09:58In South Korea, members of President Jun Suk-kyo's party walked out of Parliament ahead of an

10:03impeachment vote scheduled for Saturday over his attempt to impose martial law.

10:07As lawmakers debated the motion filed by the main opposition Democratic Party, only one

10:11of Jun's People Power Party members remained in his seat, raising doubts about whether

10:17the measure would reach the two-thirds threshold to pass because the opposition needs at least

10:21eight PP votes.

10:23In this context, opposition leaders have said that if the impeachment motion fails, they

10:27plan to take it up again on Wednesday.

10:36The South Korean President Jun Suk-kyo apologized Saturday hours before the vote.

10:41In his brief speech, President Jun Suk-kyo offered his apologies to the people of Korea,

10:45but did not offer to resign, merely saying that he wouldn't trust the party with measures

10:49to stabilize the political situation, including his mandate.

10:53Meanwhile, the opposition party had called for his resignation while tens of thousands

10:57of protesters took to the streets before the vote.

11:06Regarding the stabilization of the political situation, including the remainder of my term,

11:11I will entrust this entirely to our party.

11:15Moving forward, the administration of state affairs will be a shared responsibility between

11:20the party and the government.

11:22Once again, I deeply apologize for the concern and distress I have caused you.

11:31And South Koreans reacted to President Jun's speech.

11:38Jun labels those who disagree with him as pro-North Korea and has even gone so far as

11:43to declare martial law, causing widespread anxiety among the public.

11:47At this point, I just want him to step down voluntarily rather than go through with the

11:52impeachment proceedings.

11:58Whether impeachment occurs or not, the public will not forgive him.

12:02I believe it's too late.

12:04It's already too late, as university students, professors, citizens, and the religious communities

12:11have all taken a stand.

12:13Even if he apologized, I personally don't feel much impact anymore.

12:42In Romania, Karin Iorgescu, winner of the first round of the presidential elections,

12:47would contest the decision invalidating them and confirmed that he would also run in the

12:52new elections, which have not yet been scheduled.

12:54Several days after the election, the country's presidency declassified a document proving

12:59alleged cyber-attacks.

13:00It also accused the candidate, after the result was known, of having declared zero campaign

13:04expenses.

13:05These declarations attributed to the current president, Klaus-Ioan Hanis, were accompanied

13:10by rumors about his departure from the country.

13:12However, on Saturday, he declared from Romania that he would contest the court decision and

13:17will continue to compete for the truth in the yet-to-be-rescheduled elections.

13:24The United Nations denounces the escalation of Israel's campaign against the United Nations

13:49Relief and Works Organization for Palestine Refugees.

13:53Through a communiqué, the entity condemned the use of billboards in several cities around

13:57the world and paid advertisements on the Google platform in multiple websites to discredit

14:02the UNRWA.

14:04It also denounced that the Tel Aviv regime persists in its campaign with communicational

14:08tools to brand the organization as terrorist.

14:11Furthermore, the UN recalled that to date, at least 251 UNRWA employees have been killed

14:16in the coastal enclave and two-thirds of its buildings have been bombed during the

14:20Israeli aggressions.

14:26The Lebanese government met with army commanders to assess the plan to deploy forces south

14:32of the Litani River.

14:33Interim Prime Minister Yim Mikadi led the meeting with military forces in the city of

14:37Tire.

14:38Authorities reviewed and approved the operational plan prepared by the army command to implement

14:42the deployment of forces in the area.

14:45This in the framework of a ceasefire between Israel and the Lebanese resistance movement

14:48Hezbollah after almost 14 months of cross-border fire.

14:52The Lebanese Interim Prime Minister recalled that the main objective is to advance in the

14:56reconstruction of the south in order to achieve stability in the Middle East region.

15:06The stability in the south and its reconstruction is the key to the stability in the Middle

15:10East region, to which security and safety will return only through the implementation

15:16of international resolutions and the protection of our homeland, land, and sovereignty.
