00:00In Palestine, Israeli occupation forces continue their onslaught in Gaza, killing over 50 civilians in the last hours.
00:17Since October 23, 57,880 people have been killed in Israeli attacks, mostly women and children.
00:24U.S. Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodriguez rejected the new sanctions imposed by the United States government against Cuba as part of the continuation of his aggressive measures against the island.
00:39The Argentine Senate approved a 7.2% increase in retirement pensions, representing a new setback for President Javier Malay, who has already announced that he would veto the law.
00:53Hello, welcome to From the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Derezo Studios in Havana, Cuba.
01:06We begin with the news, stay with us.
01:08Over the last few hours, over 50 Palestinians have been killed, including women and children in new Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
01:21According to health agencies, over 200 people were injured, many of them seriously wounded.
01:27Emergency teams are having difficulty rescuing victims trapped under the rubble as Israeli forces continue to obstruct their efforts.
01:44Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli aggression has killed over 57,880 people and wounded 138,000 others.
01:53That's beside the thousands of people still missing presumed to be under the rubble.
01:57In this context, Palestinian health personnel warned that at least 67 children have died of severe malnutrition in recent months due to the humanitarian crisis caused by the Israeli siege.
02:16The authorities specifies that over 650,000 children under the age of five face mortal risks due to acute malnutrition.
02:23The brigade imposed by East Rosens the beginning of March has completely stopped the entry of food, medicines and basic supplies leading to extreme famine in the coastal enclave.
02:33Different humanitarian agencies warned that 96% of the population is food insecure.
02:46Meanwhile, in Yemen, citizens mobilized in over 500 squares in support of Palestine against Israeli genocide.
02:53Yemen ratified its support for Gaza and its resistance with massive marches in different co-regnaries of the country.
03:00They also emphasized the intensification of naval operations against Israeli targets.
03:05In this way, the mobilization spreads the recent actions of the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, which impacted with successful ambushes.
03:12They also highlighted the strong and unprecedented response after the last Israeli aggression against the national territory.
03:19And moving on to other news, fuel control switches for the engines of the Air India flight that crashed on June 12th in Ahmedabad were moved from the run to the cutoff position movements before impact starving both engines of fuel.
03:41According to a report issued by India's aircraft accident investigation bureau, both pilots were confused over the change to the switch setting, which caused a loss of engine thrust shortly after takeoff.
03:52Only one passenger survived the crash, which is one of India's worst aviation disasters.
03:57The report said the flight lasted around 30 seconds between takeoff and crash.
04:01However, it did not say how the switches could have flipped to the cutoff position during the flight.
04:14The National Human Rights Commission of Kenya reported the death toll in the recent social protests in the country has risen to 38, while the number of people injured has reached 130.
04:24These figures reflect an increase from the previous report of Tuesday, July 8th, when 39 deaths and 107 injuries were recorded.
04:31The protests, which reached a climax on July 7th, coincide with an emblematic date in the history of Kenya.
04:37That day, known as Sabasaba, commemorates a historic 1990 demonstration with thousands of Kenyans demanding free multi-party elections.
04:45Kenyans are demonstrating for better governance and police accountability, as well as demanding the impeachment of President Willian Fruto for alleged corruption.
04:54The U.S. government announced that it will impose 30 percent tariffs on products from Mexico and the European Union.
05:08President Donald Trump said he decided to impose tariff sanctions on Mexico because of the fentanyl crisis, which he believes was caused by the Mexican authorities not stopping criminal cartels.
05:17Similarly, Washington has targeted some important trading partners, such as Canada, Brazil, Japan, and South Korea.
05:23In addition, the U.S. announced its administration's willingness to maintain trade relations with the European Union under balanced and fair conditions, starting on August 1st.
05:40And also in the United States, the Donald Trump administration was ordered to stop immigration rates in Southern California for being discriminatory and based on race, skin color, and language of the people.
05:51Magistrate Judge Mame Frimpong issued on Friday the government to stop the immigration rates and to prevent the federal government from limiting the access of lawyers to a migrant detention center in Los Angeles.
06:02The order was issued in response to a lawsuit filed in California District Court on June 22nd by affected individuals and human rights groups.
06:10The lawsuit was prompted by the violent assault on the workers by masked individuals wearing only a Border Patrol vest.
06:17The government of Nigeria, through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Joseph Tugard, denounced that the United States is exerting pressure on several African countries to accept Venezuelan citizens deported from their territory.
06:36The statement reflects the firm stance of Africa's most populous country, which faces its own internal challenges and rules outtaking in deported migrants.
06:45It also stressed that Nigeria, with a population of 230 million, is not in a position to receive these migrants.
06:51The context of these pressures is framed by the trade and diplomatic tensions between the United States and Nigeria.
06:57Tugard also addressed the new tariffs imposed by Trump, who has threatened to impose additional duties on countries aligned with the BRICS group.
07:04In the United States, communities in rural parts of Vermont woke up to find their homes and roads damaged once again due to heavy rainfall and flash flooding.
07:30Though the storms were not as severe as in the past two years, local officials were surveying the damage on Friday morning, frustrated at the fact that they had been dealing with flood recovery for three consecutive years.
07:40According to the National Weather Service, Vermont's flooding issues can be attributed to ongoing climate change and the state's mountainous geography.
07:47Greater rainfall and increased moisture availability have made the state's steep terrain more prone to flooding.
07:54I looked out the window and everything was coming down over the road and down into our driveway.
08:07It's probably a good two feet from the road dropping down.
08:11It looked like a waterfall.
08:12This year, I farted the worst amount of damage with the least amount of rain, which didn't make a whole lot of sense.
08:17I just think it came so fast that it was such a flash flood.
08:23We're going to have our first break coming off.
08:25Remember, you can join us on TikTok at Telesco English, where you'll find news in different formats, news updates and much more.
08:31We're going to be right back. Stay with us.
08:33Welcome back.
08:47Cuba's Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodriguez rejected the new sanctions imposed by the United States government against Cuba as part of the continuation of its aggressive measures against the island.
08:57The high officials described this new package of sanctions as part of a prolonged and merciless economic war against Cuba.
09:04We're affirming that his country and its leaders would not bow down despite the aggression.
09:09The Cuban government pointed directly at Donald Trump administration for promoting a strategy of regime change through a policy of economic asphyxiation in an attempt to provoke destabilization in the country.
09:19In this context, the U.S. Department of State announced that it will impose a new package of sanctions against the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel, the Ministry of Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior of Cuba.
09:38The sanctions include direct visa bans for family members of those sanctions as well as measures limiting the travel of members of the Cuban judicial and prison systems.
09:46This new package of unilateral coercive measures against the island adds to the blockade and restrictions that have been enforced for more than 60 years and coincide with the aggressive plan of Donald Trump's administration against the country.
10:07In Panama, teachers unions and the Ministry of Education announced the approval of a compromise agreement to normalize classes in the country.
10:15The Ministry of Education and the leaders of the teachers unions signed a compromise agreement to normalize classes throughout the country guaranteeing the immediate restart of school activities.
10:24The agreement reached after intense negotiations includes the return to the classroom as of July 14 with guarantees of safety and normalization of the academic calendar.
10:33Progressive salary provisions for teachers, improvements in school infrastructure and pedagogical resources.
10:39Teachers strike ban on April 23 due to the Social Security reform that defends pensions and leads to an increase in their retirement age.
10:47And Colombia authorities captured an alleged leader of the Italian Trangetta Mafia operating in Latin America who is accused of managing illegal trafficking routes to Europe.
11:08Police identified the suspect as Giuseppe Palermo, also known as Pepe, an Italian who was wanted under an Interpol Red Notice which called for his arrest in 196 countries.
11:20According to an official report, he was apprehended on the streets in Colombia's capital of Bogota during a coordinated operation between Colombia, Italian and British authorities as well as the European Union's law enforcement agency Europol.
11:33The head of the Colombian police, Carlos Triana, explained that Palermo is believed to be part of one of the most tightly knit cells of the Trangetta Mafia.
11:46And in Peru, the National Confederation of Small and Artisanal Mining announced it will offer a 24-hour truce to the government after almost 12 days of blocking the main bridge of the Panamericana Sur Highway.
11:58The truce has allowed the reestablishment of traffic after days of blockade set as a protest measure implemented by more than 3,500 informal miners who demand the extension of the integral mining formalization registry and the approval of the artisanal and small-scale mining law.
12:15Although initially the government of Dinah Boluarte promised dialogue, agents of the National Police have already begun to intervene with force and have remained in the area to prevent the protesters from retaking this stretch of the Panamerican Sur Highway.
12:28And in Peru, social movements rejected the possible visit of the mayor of the district of Barranco to Israel after receiving an invitation from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
12:45Sentencing that it would represent a lack of respect for humanity and a disproportionate act to travel to a place considered by international organizations as a genocidal state.
13:06According to the letter of invitation, the trip includes a visit to the Gaza border, which has caused outrage among activists for the massacre perpetrated by the sanctions regime against the Palestinian people.
13:17And in Brazil, citizens mobilizing rejection of the 50% tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump against the country.
13:33Demonstrators accused the Republican president of using trade as a tool of political pressure against Brazil while they demanded prison for Bolsonaro.
13:41The mobilization also showed a crowd gathering one of the main financial axes of the city with banners and posters expressing their discontent.
13:48It should be noted that the protest was born as a response to the congressional veto against the projects of President Lula da Silva's government that sought to level more taxes on large companies and banking transactions,
13:59but at the same time it became a march to reject the tariffs imposed by Trump against Brazil.
14:04This is completely unfair to Brazil.
14:15It's hard to believe that in today's world on this day a United States president could make such an irresponsible decision.
14:24It may harm not only the United States people, but also create animosity with other nations.

14:54Welcome back.
15:02The Argentine Senate approved a 7.2% increase in retirement pensions in a new setback for President Javier Mele,
15:09who has already announced that he will veto the law.
15:12The increase established in the law, which was approved by the Chamber of Deputies at the beginning of June,
15:17would have a fiscal impact of almost 0.5%, the gross domestic product.
15:23The initiative was approved with 52 votes in favor and for abstentions.
15:27The minimum retirement pension in Argentina is around $240 below the poverty line, which is $1,000 for this group.
15:35These weekly protests of retirees in Buenos Aires, some of which have turned into riots,
15:40have become the main focus of resistance to the adjustment policies of Millay.
15:45An Argentine justice has indicted former President Alberto Fernández for alleged irritable activities in the procurement of insurance for public agencies during his term of office.
15:58Fernández faces a charge of negotiations incompatible with public office, with sentences ranging from one to six years in prison and life disqualification,
16:07this being his fourth indictment for corruption after leaving the government.
16:10Federal Judge Sebastián Castanello sustains that the former President favored the economic interests of Héctor Martínez Sosa, an insurance broker.
16:19The ruling also orders a seizure of more than $11.57 million of the former President's assets.
16:29And more than 50 political organizations in Venezuela began campaigning for votes ahead of the 2025 mayor and council elections.
16:39Starting this Friday, more than 6,000 candidates will begin their election campaigns with the aim of being elected as local authorities on July 27th.
16:47More than 21.5 million voters are called to the polls for these elections, where they will choose 335 mayors and over 2,470 councillors from across the country for the next four years.
16:58At the same time, the first National Youth Public Consultation will be held, an initiative that recognizes young people as key players in the community transformation of the country.
17:15In this context, the Chief of the Unified Campaign for the Municipal and Council Elections, Jorge Rodriguez, delivered a speech as the nation's greatest for the upcoming polls.
17:24Rodriguez highlighted the importance of consolidating peaceful democracy in the nation as the country completes the process of renewal of all elected powers that began with the presidential election of 2024.
17:34He also underscored that a prevalent topic throughout the campaign will be the ongoing demand that the U.S. return to kidnap Venezuelan children illegally separated from their families through Trump's migration policies.
17:45And since it is also a unity-focused campaign, we are also going out to the streets to denounce the kidnapping of our 31 children in the United States of America.
18:02It already seems to be something orchestrated, it already seems to be something specifically planned.
18:09Because since we started to denounce that they were separating migrant families in the United States of America, that they were taking the mothers to detention centers without them having committed any crime.
18:22Without them having committed any fault, and sometimes for 8 months, 10 months, a year, 14 months, in those detention centers, without seeing a judge.
18:33Without knowing why they were deprived of their freedom, and the most serious thing they were doing to those mothers, to those Venezuelan women, was separating them from their children and taking them, in the best of cases, to some centers, supposedly shelters.
18:49North Korea and Russia ratified their commitment to mutual cooperation in the face of global challenges and Western pressures.
18:57In a meeting with President Kim Jong-un, Russia's foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, reaffirmed his government's steadfast compliance to the signed bilateral cooperation agreements.
19:06Lavrov said such meetings help boost relations between the countries, and he described this latest meeting as substantive, concrete and useful.
19:14Prior to the meeting with the North Korean President, Lavrov also met with his North Korean counterpart, Cho Son-hui.
19:20An area of ancient indigenous rock art in Western Australia has been granted world heritage status by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Association.
19:27An area of ancient indigenous rock art in Western Australia has been granted world heritage status by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization on Friday.
19:51The committee and supporters here as UNESCO member states unanimously voted to inscribe the Muruhuga cultural landscape on the list.
19:59Indigenous Australian custodians and Australia's Minister for Environment and Water, Murray Watt, were in parrots for the verdict.
20:07This has been an indigenous-led nomination, and this victory belongs to the Ngardan Garli, the traditional owners and custodians of Muruhuga, whose deep knowledge, cultural leadership and enduring connection to Australia are at the heart of this inscription.
20:21On behalf of the Australian Government, I am honoured to accept this inscription.
20:36Australia is thrilled with the committee's decision to inscribe the Muruhuga cultural landscape on the World Heritage List.
20:42This has been an indigenous-led nomination and this victory belongs to the Ngardan Garli, the traditional owners and custodians of Muruhuga, whose deep knowledge, cultural leadership and enduring connection to country are at the heart of this inscription.
20:59We have all come here together and from far away from the Muruhuga lands.
21:05This has been a long-awaited journey and a fight for our elders, our Burdumbara, our old people.
21:12And we are thankful to receive this recognition from a global scale. Thank you, everyone.
