08:36Welcome back. The President of the United States, Trump, completes his first six months in power,
08:59which have been marked by tariff threats, war, and massive deportations of migrants.
09:04After his presidential inauguration in January 2025, Trump lashed out against the country's government institutions,
09:11aiming to take control of the branches of government and prevent the blocking of its policies.
09:16However, federal judges have blocked several decrees, including public spending cuts and immigration policies.
09:21Experts warn that Donald Trump's administration is acting illegally while relating court orders,
09:26which weakens national democracy and harms the social and economic progress of the United States.
09:36And six months after his inauguration as President of the United States,
09:39Donald Trump faces record disapproval ratings, with at least 55 percent dissatisfied with his administration.
09:44Recent polls indicate that 54 percent of U.S. citizens disapprove of Trump's performance as President,
09:50and nearly 40 percent expressing approval.
09:52In recent weeks, the number of Donald Trump supporters decreased drastically
09:56because of the large-scale deportation of migrants.
10:03And since the inception of the Trump administration's immigration plan,
10:06more than 273,000 migrants have been detained, including those with permanent residency,
10:12and the number of deportees has reached 238,000.
10:16According to testimonies, undocumented migrants are afraid to leave for their jobs
10:21or to keep their immigration appointments due to the arrests by immigration service.
10:25Concurrently, significant deportation proceedings are unfolding.
10:29The U.S. President has signed an executive order to eliminate birthright citizenship,
10:33a policy which will apply to children of foreign parents.
10:37And while thousands of migrants are being deported and others are being sent to prisons in the United States
10:46and El Salvador without due process, social organizations have filed lawsuits against the U.S. President
10:51for violating the constitutional rights of imprisoned migrants.
10:54Human rights defenders have spoken out about the poor conditions at the Alligator Alcatraz Penitentiary,
11:00with at least six people having to go to hospitals until the moment as a result.
11:10And during his election campaign, Donald Trump presented himself as a president of peace.
11:15However, his administration has been marked by a high number of drone and missile attacks against other countries.
11:20In 2025, the U.S. President ordered more than 520 attacks against nations in the Belize and Asia.
11:26At the same time, Trump supported Israel's policies of ethnic cleansing in Palestine,
11:31expressing his desire to turn the Gaza Strip into a tourist center.
11:35In Palestine, over 70 children have died of malnutrition and starvation due to Israel's
11:59blockade on humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, enforced since March 2025.
12:03Health authorities say that at least 17,000 infants have been diagnosed with severe malnutrition
12:08and that many of them are undergoing treatment for stress and memory loss caused by hunger.
12:13Currently, in the midst of constant Israeli bombardments,
12:16health personnel in the Gaza Strip is providing treatment to hundreds of people
12:20who are all ages exhibiting symptoms of acute famine.
12:23Several social organizations have denounced that the blockade on humanitarian aid is a
12:28Syrian war tool to force the displacement of thousands of Palestinian families.
12:38And the genocide being carried out by Israel in Gaza, besieging thousands of innocent people with hunger and bombs in the last hours,
12:44also added a new immediate evacuation order, this time from the residents of the Albala.
12:49According to the spokesman of the Genocidal Troops, Abishai Adray, who read the order this Sunday at 8.05 local time,
12:56the residents of this refugee camp, the smallest of all those who barely survived in the Strip,
13:00must evacuate the southwestern sector because the occupants would carry out an operation.
13:06They say to destroy terrorist infrastructure.
13:09It is the explanation they give for besieging or murdering thousands of Palestinians who are strapping to death
13:15and under these conditions they demand that they evacuate immediately in the first instance to the Al Mawasi locality.
13:26And Pope Bouleo XIV renewed his call to the Israeli regime for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
13:32The leader of the Catholic Church once again prayed at Sunday Mass for peace
13:36and for the parties involved in the genocide against the Gaza Strip to negotiate peace
13:40since, in his opinion, the world cannot tolerate this barbarity.
13:44The Supreme Potif called on the international community to respect humanitarian law
13:48and the obligation to protect civilians.
13:50The Pope also called for abandoned collective punishment, indiscriminate use of force and forced displacements.
13:56As you know, last Thursday there were three deaths and others were injured.
14:08I pray for the victims, and I feel a special closeness to their families and all the parishioners.
14:14Sadly, this act is added to the continuous military attacks against the civilian population and places of worship in Gaza.
14:32I once again demand an immediate end to the barbarity of this war, and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
14:44And in other topics, the Syrian Red Crescent delivered humanitarian aid to the people of Suweda.
14:56The region was affected by clashes in recent days.
14:59On Sunday, a convoy arrived for the vulnerable population in the south of the Syrian region.
15:04The humanitarian operation delivered medicines, food, and other items necessary for the survival of the victims in the territory.
15:10Clashes have so far left over 1,000 people dead, and more than 1,000 others displaced.
15:15The province was rocked by a wave of violence that erupted seven days ago,
15:19when a violent robbery of a Druze businessman triggered a series of clashes between Bedouin clans and Druze groups.
15:25And in Spain, thousands of citizens mobilized in Madrid in rejection of the recent riots and racist attacks perpetrated by ultra-white groups against migrants in Murcia.
15:40When a slogan associated not to racism, the participants raised their voices to denounce the impunity of these fascist groups and demanded concrete actions from the government of Pedro Sánchez.
15:50The demonstrators demanded the expulsion of ultra-white groups from the neighborhood and the regularization of more than 500,000 migrants living in the country.
15:59From the center of Madrid, participants warned that the mobilization would not cease until the racist violence stopped.
