00:00The Israeli regime committed another massacre in the north of the Gaza Strip killing more
00:15than 30 Palestinians in the city of Habalia. After expressing interest in
00:22resuming talks with the United States Iran reaffirmed its willingness to engage in dialogue.
00:27And the Venezuelan government denounced the kidnapping of 18 migrant children by the US
00:36government and demanded their safe return to the country.
00:39Hello and welcome from the south. I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in
00:50Havana, Cuba. We begin with the news.
01:02The Israeli regime committed another massacre in the north of the Gaza Strip killing more
01:14than 30 Palestinians in the city of Habalia. Precisely, health authorities in Gaza reported
01:20that at least 18 Gazans were hit by Israeli bombings in Al-Nasla, with another 11 civilians being killed in the Al-Balat neighborhood and four more near a school.
01:32The Israeli army threatened to intensify attacks in other areas and ordered residents to evacuate the south of the city.
01:39In this context, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported that around 14,000 patients are trapped in hospitals without any sign of
01:48medical treatment due to the Israeli blockade or supplies or transfer out of Gaza.
01:57Also, Palestinian citizens denounced the actions of Israel on the US aid distribution system against civilians.
02:06The targeting was deliberate, aimed at people as they were leaving. There was no one among us who was wanted or posed any threat.
02:12We were all civilians simply trying to get food for our children. We were directly targeted by Israeli artillery.
02:18We demand an end to the USA distribution system. We call for aid to be distributed through the World Food Programme, or UNRWA.
02:27We appeal to all Arab countries and humanitarian organizations to stand with us, we or die.
02:33The Israeli military admitted to receiving orders to shoot Palestinian civilians at food distribution centers.
02:40An Israeli soldier revealed that senior army commanders constantly ordered them to attack crowds in the Gaza Strip,
02:47where life had supposedly lost all value.
02:51The soldiers pointed out that they were supposedly using weapons for peaceful purposes and resumed firing machine guns and grenades at the crowd,
03:01after noticing that the Palestinian population was approaching the distribution centers.
03:06Since May 27, the Gaz and Health Ministry has reported nearly 549 civilian deaths and over 4,000 injuries,
03:15calling it a violation of international humanitarian law.
03:23As news of a possible ceasefire in Palestine spread, Gazans creed the possibility with deep skepticism
03:30due to amounts of suffering and unfulfilled promises.
03:34Citizens explained that since the beginning of aggressions, they have promised a ceasefire in exchange for the Israeli hostages.
03:42However, the Israeli regime has increased attacks against the Palestinian population despite the fact that many of those held have been released.
03:51These comments come as US President Donald Trump urged the Israeli regime to reach an agreement.
03:58The Israeli aggression and total food blockade has brought the Strip to the brink of collapse.
04:04The United Nations warns of a humanitarian crisis with 2.1 million people suffering from food insecurity.
04:11The U.S.
04:16The U.S.
04:32After expressing interest in resuming talks with the United States, Iran reaffirmed its willingness to engage in dialogue.
04:38Tehran stated that there must be a guarantee from Washington that it will not attack the Islamic country again in the future for there to be dialogue.
04:48The Iranian government stated that no dates have been set for new talks.
04:53They also affirmed that despite the call for dialogue, they remain unalerted due to the threat of a plan devised by Washington and Tel Aviv to destabilize and change the regime.
05:05Meanwhile, the United States' mediators claim they have no such intentions against Iran or the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, despite the fact that the threat originated with President Donald Trump.
05:18The U.S.
05:23Iranian authorities revealed that the attack perpetrated by Israel against Tehran's even prison on June 23 killed 71 people.
05:32According to the spokesperson for the Iranian judiciary, Ashgar Janjir, the victims included members of the prison staff as well as convicts visitors and residents of nearby buildings.
05:45Janjir described the attack as terrorist and brutal, adding it affected the nursing ward, the technical and engineering division, and the visiting area of the prison complex.
05:56On June 13, the Israeli regime launched major airstrikes against various areas of Iran under the products of neutralizing its nuclear bases, although the aggression targeted civilian buildings and the headquarters of the national television, among others.
06:15In Serbia, at least 70 people have been injured, including 48 police officers, amid protests against President Aleksandar Buzic.
06:26During Sunday's protests, which took place in the capital, Belgrade, a crowd of students and opposition supporters began throwing firecrackers and various objects at police barricades set up in front of the executive headquarters demanding early parliamentary elections.
06:43The demonstrations happened in a context of social unrest, exacerbated by the collapse of a canopy and the Novi Sad train station last November, which led to criticisms of authorities for alleged negligence.
06:58The Serbian government has denounced the protests as an attempt to overthrow power with a decade-long billionaire financing by foreign operators.
07:05In this context, Serbian President Buzic has ruled out the early elections requested by the protesters.
07:18Russia warned the West against promoting a colour revolution after taking advantage of the protests carried out by the opposition in Serbia.
07:27Russia and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov denounced that the Western nations often take advantage of certain internal events to promote their interests to the detriment of the country.
07:38The head of Russian diplomacy has expressed his desire for these protests to be resolved soon within the bounds of Serbian law.
07:46Furthermore, the Russian diplomat reminded that this is not the first time that similar events have occurred in the Balkan country and therefore call for dialogue between the authorities and protesters.
08:03The government of Russia reaffirmed its interest in strengthening bilateral relations with Serbian.
08:09After the arrest of two Russian journalists in Serbian, the Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that such actions were taken under law enforcement and have no justification.
08:21In this regard, the Russian official reiterated Moscow's intention to maintain the development of good relations and cooperation with Baku.
08:29Meanwhile, the authorities recently suspended the Russian cultural events and the visit of the parliamentary delegation to Russia because of the alleged acts of violence against their citizens in the Russian city of Ekaterinburg.

10:07Precisely in the framework of the fourth United Nations Conference on Financing for Development, Honduran President Xiomara Castro denounced on Monday inequalities in the global financial system calling for models that guarantee fiscal justice and credit equity.
10:23This way, Castro emphasized that countries around the world spend more on pay enough foreign debt than on financing sectors such as health and education.
10:33The head of state noted that Latin America and the Caribbean are among the regions most affected by financial models imposed by international credit organizations and private banks.
10:44President Xiomara Castro also noted that Honduras was victimized by economic dismantling after neoliberal governments turned the country into an arco state.
10:54I urgently call for a structural transformation of the global financial system.
11:09This transformation must entail the elimination of tax privileges, consistent control of the powerful and the establishment of a financial model based on fairness and dignity.
11:26Canada resumed trade negotiations with the United States after reversing its intention to impose new taxes on US technology companies.
11:35Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that in negotiating a new economic relationship between Canada and the US, the new Canadian government will always be guided by the full contribution of any potential agreement to the best interests of Canadian workers and businesses.

12:13In the United States tech tycoon Elon Musk strongly criticized President Trump's budget plan calling it an abomination.
12:26Musk stated that the U.S. head of state proposal could result in the destruction of millions of jobs throughout the country while also highlighting the fact that it would only benefit large corporations.
12:39The bill, recently approved by the Republican majority House of Representatives, seeks to deepen social cuts in medical programs such as Medicaid and increase military defense spending for the country as well as immigration control expenditures.
12:56The businessman accused the House of Representatives of having made an error in approving the Cuts and Expenses Bill.
13:08In the US, at least two firefighters were killed Sunday in a shooting during a forest fire in Idaho,

13:23Kutenay County Sheriff Robert Norris confirmed the death toll at a press conference in which he indicated that emergency crews are actively taking sniper fire and added that the fire on the mountain was still active.
13:38So far the motive of the attack is unknown, but the local press reports an alleged ambush.

14:15According to the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar GarcÃa Harfuz, 32 people were arrested.
14:22The Attorney General of the Republic, Alejandro Guzmanero, highlighted that this was possible thanks to the coordination of the institutions of the Security Cabinet,
14:33which were investigating the case for over six months.
14:37GarcÃa Harfuz revealed that the modus operandi of this network consisted in drilling ventilation ducts of Pemex to extract liquefied petroleum gas and gasoline.

15:18Welcome back to From the South.
15:23On Monday, the Venezuelan government denounced the kidnapping of 18 migrant children by the U.S. government and demanded their safe return to the country.
15:32During a press conference, the head of the Unified Command of the Bolivarian Revolution, Jorge Rodriguez, condemned the separation of the Venezuelan children from their relatives after their deportation.
15:42Rodriguez, together with family members of the kidnapped migrants in El Salvador, denounced before national and international public opinion the kidnapping of children as an example of barbarism, which violates the Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Child, the United Nations Charter and international law.
16:01Furthermore, he condemned the lack of action of United Nations Human Rights Chief Volker Turk, who has yet to call for the release of those illegally kidnapped.
16:10We have decided to go to the public because we have already had frequent contact with Trump administration officials.
16:29In fact, we have spoken more often with Trump administration officials than we have with Joe Biden administration officials, including State Department officials with whom we have frequent exchanges.
16:48We have always told them, give us back our children. Not only have they committed no crime, but their parents, many of whom are here, have not committed any crime to be separated from their children and grandchildren.
17:09In Venezuela, government authorities remain deployed throughout the affected western states to assess the impact of heavy rains associated with several tropical waves.
17:33In the state of Barinas, preventive and citizen security agencies supervised areas addressed monitoring water levels in rivers and water treatment plants.

18:17In Uruguay, the cold wave that goes with snow and sleet continues Monday and will be maintained in upcoming days in several parts of the capital.
18:26The phenomenon was further reported in other areas of western Montevideo such as Sayago and Paso de la Arena.

18:56On Monday, the National Meteorological Service of Mexico activated the alarms in anticipation of cyclone Flossie's approach to the country's coast.
19:10Flossie is advancing in the Pacific Ocean and is suspected to become a hurricane, prompting federal and state authorities to sound the alarm.
19:18President Claudia Sheinbaum clarified that the tropical storm's circulation to the south of Guerrero will generate torrential rains as well as intense rains in Jalisco, Colima, Michoacan and Oaxaca.
19:32Sheinbaum noted that the hurricane will be the closest to Mexico's coast on Tuesday, bringing intense rainfall, strong wind gusts and higher than usual waves.
19:43A heat wave hits European countries. As a result, they have experienced record temperatures, health alerts and wildfires.
19:58In this context, all European governments warned that wildfires and health issues triggered by the heat wave were likely to happen this week.
20:07So they urged the population to take precautionary measures. In the case of Greece, officials issued again a high wildfire alert as on Thursday they popped out wildfires in Athens.
20:21Likewise, the Italian Health Ministry declared red alert to 21 out of the 27 main cities, including Rome, Milan and Naples.
20:31Similarly, two-thirds of Portugal have been on top alert as of Sunday.

21:05In this regard, official sources unfolded that over 260 three-day wildfires have damaged some 200 residential buildings in Balik Sik and Izmir provinces.
21:17In addition, preliminary estimates informed that two out of the over 260 wildfires still remain active.
21:24Meanwhile, officers have arrested 17 suspects of having set these wildfires.
21:30In China, a Level 4 emergency response has been activated ahead of the potential flash floods in the Chongqing Municipality and Sichuan and Gansu provinces.
21:47Subsequently, authorities have strengthened surveillance, issuing alerts and organizing evacuations.
21:53Meanwhile, recovery efforts continue in Rongian counties of western Gishu province, where floodings displaced over 40,000 people.
22:07Meanwhile, the Eastern Cape province of South Africa was declared a disaster area due to severe flooding and extreme weather conditions.
22:15This designation activates broader response mechanisms and mobilizes resources to address the emergency, which left 101 people dead.
