00:00U.S. social groups brought us the Trump administration policies regarding human rights, the economy

00:21and government down season.

00:28In Ecuador, the National Institute of Statistics and Census reported that the basic food basket

00:33reached 800 U.S. dollars during March.

00:47The Red Crescent presented video evidence showing the Genocidal Troops committing another

00:53war crime by deliberating killing humanitarian workers in Rafa.

01:05Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Ana Marrero from the Televisual Headquarters

01:09in Caracas, Venezuela.

01:11We begin with the news, stay with us.

01:29U.S. social groups brought us the Trump administration policies regarding human rights, the economy

01:34and government down season.

01:37With the slogan, hands off, over 250 social movements, unions and human rights advocates

01:44organized over 1,200 mobilizations nationwide.

01:48The protesters opposed the Trump administration's plans to deport migrants, close social security

01:52fields, official offices and fire thousands of federal employees.

01:57Additionally, organizers anticipate the largest mobilizations since Trump's return to office

02:02in January 2025.

02:13The President of the U.S., Donald Trump, has confronted the head of the Federal Reserve's

02:18Jerome Powell.

02:20The data of the agency in charge of the country's monetary policy contradicted the tenant of

02:26the White House.

02:27This Friday, in a new act of interference, the U.S. President ordered a fee that lowered

02:32interest rates so as not to harm the economy.

02:36But the president of the organization does not share the criteria and warns that the

02:41head of state's tariff measures seriously complicate the country's outlook.

02:45Powell assured that since the announcement, they are facing a very uncertain outlook with

02:51a high risk of increased unemployment and inflation.

03:04The losses caused by the tariff implemented by the U.S. administration since last Tuesday

03:09amounted to more than $3 trillion.

03:12These economic measures are already leaving their first consequences on the stock market,

03:18which is the space where financial instances are brought and sold.

03:23According to the calculations provided by financial portals in the country, Wall Street,

03:30the main financial bloc in the U.S. has lost $9.6 trillion since Trump's inauguration.

03:36Likewise, the main stock market's index reports falls.

03:41This is the case of technological Nasdaq, with a total of more than 5,000 companies,

03:48which lost 5.97%.

03:50In this context, analysts warn that Trump's tariff word-up poses a significant risk to

03:58the global economic growth.

04:06The British car maker Jaguar Land Rover paused shipments to the U.S. while it works to mitigate

04:15the impact of the 25% tariffs on vehicles imposed by the U.S. administration.

04:20The British automotive industry reported that the tariff measures will hit the market hard

04:26and also came at a time when British car makers are struggling with declining demands and

04:31the need to refit plans for a transition to electric vehicles.

04:37British car makers shipped $10.7 billion worth of vehicles to the U.S. in the past 12 months,

04:46making cars the largest exports to the U.S.

04:58In response to the increase in tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, the Indian

05:02government has promised to act.

05:05When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in the sixth summit of the Gulf of Bengal

05:11Initiative for Multiple Sectoral, Technical and Economic Cooperation in Thailand, he proposed

05:17a 21-point action plan that addresses the various facets of cooperation among the bloc

05:23member nations.

05:25He also explained that in order to define the course of the action and the opportunities

05:30that might arrive from the new U.S. tax package, he is continuing to work with all industry

05:37stakeholders and domestic exporters while also reviewing the tariff situation with his

05:42economic team.

05:53U.S. President Donald Trump extended deadline for TikTok to be sold to a non-Chinese company.

05:58U.S. President on Friday announced new 75-day deadline for Chinese technology company ByteDance

06:06to sell their U.S. assets for short video app TikTok to a non-Chinese buyer.

06:11Last year, lawmakers ordered the platform to be divested from China by January 19 or

06:18face a U.S. ban on actual security grounds.

06:21When U.S. President Trump took office in January, one of his first decisions was to extend the

06:26deadline until April this year in order to find a solution that keeps the app functioning.

06:33The potential agreement was negotiated in the Mongolian government due to the president's

06:38tariff announcement, which includes assurances that purchase of TikTok will reduce the tariff

06:45supply to China.

06:52Let's take a very short break, but don't go away because we'll be right back.

07:09Welcome back to From the South.

07:11In Ecuador, the National Institute of Statistics and Census reported that a basic food basket

07:17reached 800 U.S. dollars during March.

07:20According to the report, an Ecuadorian basic salary is over $470 a month, meaning that

07:26in order to have access to basic necessities, at least two salaries are needed.

07:31The Ecuadorian entity details that this index might override a card into the city.

07:36For its part, the United Front of Workers denounces that a basic salary in the same

07:43force is insufficient to cover the basic needs of each family.

07:51In Bolivia, the mining community demands justice after the explosion registered in the middle

08:00of a confrontation between rival groups of gold miners.

08:03The miners' protest comes a day after five people were killed in a drone attack among

08:08the victims, who are pregnant women and a one-year-old baby.

08:11According to a report by the departmental police commander, Colonel Hunter Agudo, the

08:17explosion echoed through the Yani mining camp, where two rival mining groups were disputing

08:24control of the mine near the Serrata, 150 kilometers from La Paz.

08:39Now there was a bomb and a massacre, and our brothers, our comrades are dead.

08:43A baby has died.

08:45Brother, it hurts me what they have done.

08:48We want justice now.

08:50Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's son Eduardo shocked the nation recently when

08:55he announced he was stepping down from Congress to live in the U.S.

08:59But what is he doing up there?

09:01Our correspondent Brian Muir had the details.

09:05Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, surprised colleagues from

09:10his liberal party last week when he announced on social media that he was taking a leave

09:15of absence from Congress and had fled Brazil out of fear that the federal police were going

09:20to confiscate his passport.

09:22The police later announced he's not under investigation for anything.

09:27Eduardo Bolsonaro fled to the U.S.

09:31This is what happened.

09:32He's become a prisoner of his own fake news.

09:36He said that had to leave because there is a judicial dictatorship in Brazil.

09:41But first of all, he's preparing an escape route for his dad.

09:46Second, he and his father want to convince the U.S. to refuse to recognize upcoming democratic

09:51elections in Brazil.

09:54For years, Eduardo Bolsonaro has served as the primary intermediary between the Bolsonaro

09:59family and its allies with the international far right.

10:03He's credited with bringing the Conservative Political Action Congress, or CPAC, to Brazil,

10:09and many analysts suspect he's going to use his time in the U.S. to strengthen his family's

10:13relationship with the Trump administration.

10:17I believe that the plan behind Eduardo Bolsonaro's flight to the United States and his leave

10:21of absence from Congress is to strengthen a future scenario in which he can run for president.

10:27The international far right is already working towards this.

10:30Republican party lawmakers and their allies in the media have been pushing for the Trump

10:35administration to issue sanctions against the individual Supreme Court justices responsible

10:40for the investigation against Jair Bolsonaro.

10:43But if Eduardo jumps into the fray during his time in the U.S., he could end up with

10:47his own legal problems.

10:52If he convinces foreign groups to intervene in Brazil's democratic rule of law to violate

10:58Brazil's territorial integrity, independence or sovereignty, this can represent the crime

11:05of an attack against sovereignty, according to the terms and conditions of Article 359

11:11of our criminal code.

11:16Eduardo Bolsonaro recently told the press that he's working for electoral freedom in Brazil

11:21in the United States.

11:23As he's still an elected official, this puts him on legal shaky ground.

11:29Brian Muir, tell us, sir.

11:31Recife.

11:33The United States bombed civilians in Yemen during a tribal meeting.

11:36Donald Trump released a video of an airstrike against Yemen, claiming that it targeted Houthi

11:43forces.

11:44In this regard, the Yemeni army responded to Trump, stating that the attack was against

11:50the tribal community and that the victims were not military.

11:54The Yemeni army vowed to retaliate against the United States in the face of this new

12:00aggression.

12:21Russian army neutralized 85 servicemen and officers of the Kremlin armed forces in the

12:28city of Krivoy Rog.

12:30The Russian defense ministry reported it launched a missile attack on a location where Western

12:35military units and instructors were stationed.

12:39The ministry points out that in addition to soldiers killed, at least 20 vehicles were

12:44also destroyed.

12:45In its report, Russian military said that in March, at least 5,862 foreign mercenaries

12:52were killed, among them 1,497 from Poland, 561 from Georgia, 491 from the U.S. and 136

13:04from Brazil.

13:06Russia reports ongoing attacks on the nation's energy infrastructure by Ukrainian forces.

13:20The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that Ukraine had attacked energy facilities in

13:27of Bryansk, Belgorod, Molensk, Lipetsk, Chernyshevsk and Warsaw, and the Luhansk People's Republic

13:37at least 14 times in the last 24 hours.

13:41As a result, the supply of electricity to customers in several localities was interrupted.

13:46Despite the existing agreement on the respective energy facilities, for 30 years the defense

13:52agency warned about the increased Kyiv offensive against the Russian energy infrastructure.

14:22Welcome back.

14:23This Saturday, the Red Crescent presented video evidence that leaves no room for doubt

14:28that the Genocidal Troops committed another war crime by deliberately killing humanitarian

14:33workers in Rafa.

14:34The organization attacked the International Red Cross released a video found on the cell

14:40phone of a paramedic present at the site of the massacre.

14:43It shows that vehicles were clearly identified, that humanitarian workers were clearly identified

14:50and that none of the units engaged in suspicious actions at the site.

14:56Commanders claimed after recognizing that it had attacked the humanitarian groups.

15:02The New York Times referred a video and confirmed its veracity.

15:08And now let's listen to some statements about U.N. officials under the Israeli killing on

15:13U.N. workers.

15:37And he recorded the whole event.

15:41His last words before being shot.

15:47Forgive me, mom.

15:50I just wanted to help people.

15:53I wanted to save lives.

15:59And then he was killed.

16:01So you can imagine 15 team members.

16:07What did they go through.

16:11It was an episode.

16:16According to the movement Hamas, the attacks on aid workers exposes the true nature of

16:21Israeli occupation and refutes its misleading portrayals.

16:26Based on the Palestinian resistance, the video is not only a horrific scene, but also

16:32compelling evidence of the brutality of the occupation and the violation of international

16:37laws and conventions in general.

16:39Furthermore, Hamas urged the United Nations to document this crime and refer it to international

16:45courts, adding that this crime is an extinction of long series of operations by Israeli forces

16:51against rescue and civil defense teams.

16:57The international management of the Bat Zib hospital in Gaza Strip warned that health

17:08services are collapsing due to the large number of people wounded by the ongoing Israeli bombardment.

17:13Health personnel reported that the number of victims is extremely high and the hospital

17:19does not have the resources to attend to the emergencies.

17:23In this regard, they reject the closure of the border crossing since March 2nd, preventing

17:29the internal of medicines, medical equipment and support material necessary to face the

17:33crisis.

17:34In this sense, they urge Israel to lift the blockade to alleviate the hospital situation

17:38and to stop the genocidal operation in Gaza.

17:48The UN Agency for Palestine Refugees denounced that over 142,000 civilians were displaced

17:55in the Gaza Strip following Israel's resumption of attacks.

17:59The UN organization condemned the forced displacements experienced by Palestinians due to the intensified

18:05of the bombardment by the occupied troops.

18:08In this regard, the multinational organizations demand that Israeli regimes stop the genocidal

18:15operations and thus contain the deep end of humanitarian crisis.

18:18The Israeli genocide in Gaza has so far led to over 50,000 people killed since October

18:242023.

18:31In Nigeria, more than 40 people were killed, including women and children, in a wave of

18:36violence in the northern state of Plateau.

18:40Authorities confirmed the discovery of 48 corpses in a mass grave.

18:45At the same time, thousands of villagers fled their homes for fear of insecurity.

18:51The region faces a conflict arising from disputes between Hendrons and farmers over land and

18:58resources.

18:59Security forces began investigations to determine any responsibilities in response to the citizens'

19:05demands for solutions to the conflict.

19:11The Arab League condemned the Israeli aggressions against Palestinian territories in Lebanon

19:19and Syria.

19:20The commission questioned the international community's incapacity to stop the systematic

19:26attacks against Arab countries.

19:28It also warned that the invasion of Gaza is aimed at expelling Palestinians from their

19:34land so that the Netanyahu government can move forward with its expansionist plans.

19:49In Spain, hundreds took to the streets to protest against increasing house rents.

19:53Demonstrators marched through the countdown in Madrid to call for a decrease in rental

20:00rates as low incomes make it difficult to pay them.

20:04In addition, they detailed that prices are constantly increasing in cities and coastal

20:10areas of the country, which can affect public services.

20:13On the other hand, visitors and residents presented their concern about high costs and

20:18the spread of short-term layoffs.

20:20Well, I've come to the end of this news brief for Televisión Inglés.

20:31I'm from the south, I'm Ana Marrero.
