00:00The Public Prosecutor's Office of Venezuela unveiled evidence of the mistreatment of the
00:14252 kidnapped migrants at the high-security second prison in El Salvador.
00:23In China, authorities evacuated more than 700,000 people
00:27and activated emergency measures in the wake of Typhoon Wifa.
00:36And in Palestine, Israeli settlers shut off the water supply and occupied West Bank
00:40while Zionist forces promote hunger in Gaza.
00:50Hello and welcome to From the South. I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:54We begin with the news.
01:07On Monday, the Public Prosecutor's Office of Venezuela unveiled evidence of the mistreatment of the 252 kidnapped migrants
01:14at the high-security second prison in El Salvador.
01:17During a press conference, Attorney General Tarek William Saab accused Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele of violating human rights,
01:26as several former detainees accounted for tortures that included various forms of physical and psychological abuse.
01:32Saab stressed on the severity of the aggressions, which constitute a crime against humanity,
01:38and announced the opening of a formal investigation of those responsible.
01:43Furthermore, the Attorney General called for the International Court of Justice and the United Nations
01:48to address the violations and take action against them.
01:52A large part of them, and this is very painful, thought about committing suicide.
02:05They had suicidal ideas during the whole period of detention as a result of the criminal actions carried out by Bukel and his corrupt guards.
02:18I would like to emphasize that everything I am saying here represents, without a doubt, due to the nature of these actions, crimes against humanity.
02:31In Venezuela, the unified command of the Bolivarian Revolution, Ben 25 Plus, also denounced the aggressions against the kidnapped migrants at the hands of the Salvadoran government.
02:42During a press conference, Ben 25 Plus head Jorge Rodriguez affirmed the nationals were held at a concentration camp just for being Venezuelans with no proven criminal record.
02:54This way, he added that they had been deceived by the manipulating campaigns of the Venezuelan opposition, who lobbied for them to be detained.
03:03In contrast, he prized the achievements of President Nicolás Maduro in the rescue, together with that of seven migrant children also held illegally by the U.S. government.
03:15In addition, Rodriguez also touched on the upcoming election of July 27th,
03:20assuring it will be a new historic victory for the Bolivarian Revolution.
03:29President Maduro promised it on that fateful day in March, when, in a way, only comparable to what Nazi Germany did against millions of Jews,
03:41against communists, against the LGBTQ community, only comparable to that, just because they were Venezuelans,
03:50252 compatriots were taken to a concentration camp.
03:56In other information, U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated his sixth month in office on his social media,
04:05yet his disapproval ratings for the first semester of his term reached 54%.
04:11Trump spent this Sunday publishing a barrage of conspiratorial ideas while claiming that he had made the United States the most respected country in the world.
04:21In reality, the burden of his image, according to opinion polls, has struck down the country's image worldwide.
04:28For example, in Mexico and Canada, they now see their neighbor as a national security and economic risk.
04:34In addition to tariffs, tax and federal cuts, and the savage hunt for migrants,
04:40the impact on individual citizens due to the cuts in key programs is reflected in the overwhelming drop in the President's popularity.
04:54Argentine President Javier Millet also faces negative ratings of 53% disapproval.
05:00Argentine experts say politics in the South American nation is defined by the negative,
05:06and that the anti-Millet tendency has surpassed anti-Kishnerism, which registers a little over 45%.
05:14Precisely, when comparing both trends, rejection for the current President grows while rejection for Kishnerism decreases.
05:22A Subban Cordoba firm study highlights that libertarian supporters decreased by 4.3%,
05:29and opposition to liberty advances increased by 7.1%.
05:34As for the electoral data, 38.3% of those polled say they would vote again for President Millet,
05:41but 52.8% said they would use their vote against him.
05:46TELASUR celebrates 20 years of being the voice of the people.
06:14In Honduras, its coverage of the 2009 coup d'edat marked the collective memory,
06:20showing the truth when censorship tried to silence it.
06:25TELASUR celebrates 20 years of its foundation by recalling historic moments that marked its journalistic work in the region.
06:35In Honduras, its coverage of the 2009 coup was key to making the democratic rupture visible to the eyes of the world.
06:42TELASUR played an important role in the coverage of the coup, because it helped dismantle the narrative of the international right-wing media,
06:55that wanted to make it known that what happened in Honduras was a constitutional succession, as the Honduran coup perpetrators made it look.
07:04The coverage of TELASUR and the denunciation of TELASUR when the Honduran media of the coup were transmitting comic strips,
07:10while the people were in the streets massacred, persecuted, tortured, repressed,
07:15TELASUR was sending those messages to the world and that coverage by TELASUR was what made it possible to dismantle the media narrative
07:22of the big international corporate media that had to accept that what happened in Honduras was a coup.
07:33On June 28, 2009, TELASUR broadcast lived the expulsion of President Manuel Zelia
07:42and the militarization of Tegu Zagalpa when many national media were silent out of fear or pressure.
07:48Its cameras showed the first protests in the streets and the repression by the armed forces.
07:53TELASUR, at that time, was the one who accompanied the people, was the one who went on the marches,
08:03was the one who also endured the tear gas bombs, just as many of us endured them at the time.
08:09Then the role that TELASUR took, the belligerents, was key. It was very important.
08:15The country's hegemonic media were paid to misinform the people.
08:20But TELASUR always kept up, was the one that was at the side, not only of a government that was given a coup,
08:27not only at the side of a person that was taken out of his country in pajamas,
08:32but at the side of the people that had taken to the streets asking for justice.
08:36Despite the blocking of its signal in Honduran territory, its journalists continued to report from the streets and airports,
08:50accompanying the people in their struggle for the return of constitutional order.
08:54TELASUR was one of the few international media that remained in the country during the most critical days.
09:00Very difficult. Very difficult because they were persecuted in the country.
09:08I mean, I don't remember her name, this comrade, a girl with light eyes. I don't remember her name.
09:17That comrade went out. She gave us the information and ran. She ran because she was persecuted.
09:24Because they didn't allow access to TELASUR. They didn't allow to report.
09:30And the work done by the journalists of this media in the country was difficult.
09:36They exposed their lives. They exposed their lives, and I think that the world recognized that.
09:51Repression. The repression of the government of Micheletti, and after the repression of the period of the narco-dictatorship
09:57of Juan Orlando Pepelo, right? Of course. It has been courageous the activity of the journalists
10:03who are making an effort to give, I insist to the world, a real vision from the Honduran people so that, well,
10:10so that the people of the world can have a real vision of the situation.
10:18Hoy, TELASUR conmemora dos décadas de existencia.
10:21Today, TELASUR commemorates two decades of existence reaffirming its commitment to the truth and to the people of Latin America.
10:28In Honduras, its coverage continues to be remembered as a symbol of news resistance in the face of censorship and silence imposed after the coup.
10:36For TELASUR, from Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Karim Duarte.
10:43And now we have a short break coming up.
10:45But first remember, you can join us on TikTok at TELASUR English, where you'll find news in different formats,

12:42Iran and Russia will conduct joint naval exercises in the Caspian Sea, strengthening a strategic cooperation between both countries.
12:56Iranian media announced that these exercises will involve units of the Islamic Republic's navy, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps,
13:05and the Russian navy coordinated by the Northern Iranian fleet.
13:08They also detailed that the exercises will start this Monday and will be focused on rescue operations and maritime protection in the strategic Caspian Sea.
13:18This military cooperation between Tehran and Moscow reflects both countries' determination to counter foreign interference and ensure stability in the region,
13:27in line with their strategic alliance against hostile Western policies.
13:33In Bangladesh, an Air Force training aircraft crashed into a college and school campus in Dhaka, killing at least 19 people, mostly students.
13:47The F-7 BGI aircraft crashed into the campus of Milestone School and College in the Kapiroz Utara neighborhood at about 1 p.m. local time,
13:58when students were taking tests or attending regular classes.
14:02House authorities said that more than 50 people, including children and adults, were hospitalized with burns after the crash.
14:09The head of Bangladesh's interim government, Mohammad Junus, reported that necessary measures would be taken to investigate the cause of the accident and ensure all kinds of assistance.
14:28In Japan, the government lost its majority in the upper house of parliament after an election in which a right-wing populist party made significant gains.
14:37The coalition led by Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba won 47 seats out of the 248 in Sunday's elections,
14:46three short of the 50 needed to maintain control of the upper chamber.
14:51The outcome marks another major blow to Ishiba's administration, whose government is engaged in high-stakes trade negotiations with U.S. President Donald Trump.
15:02In statements on Sunday night, the Prime Minister said he solemnly accepted the hard results.
15:09The Chinese government rejected European Union sanctions against Chinese companies and financial institutions for alleged links to Russia's military operations in Ukraine.
15:24Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Yaqun reiterated China's disagreement with unilateral measures that have no basis in international law and which have not been authorized by the United Nations Security Council.
15:38Yaqun also pointed out that cooperation between Chinese and Russian companies should not be influenced by foreign policy measures.

16:46Welcome back to From the South.
16:48Israeli settlers shut off the water supply in occupied West Bank
16:52while Zionist forces promote starvation as a weapon of war in the Gaza Strip.
16:56A water company in occupied Jerusalem gobernate announced
17:00that the total suspension of water pumping in several localities in the West Bank
17:05as a result of new attacks by Israeli settlers against its infrastructures.
17:10Social movements warned that the sabotage against the water systems
17:13and the difficulties to restore them could deprive more than 70,000 Palestinians
17:19of their right to water services.
17:21For their part, health authorities in Gaza reported the death of almost 20 people
17:26due to hunger and malnutrition in view of the ongoing Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid.
17:32Israeli forces launched a ground operation against a refugee area
17:44in the central Gaza Strip in Palestine.
17:47According to reports, the Zionist army attacked the city of Der Albala
17:50after forcing dozens of Palestinian refugees to evacuate their camps.
17:55Under this scenario, more than 50,000 people moved to the Rafah governorate,
18:00which is home to another 425,000 Gazans subjected to the Zionist violence.
18:07In addition, health authorities warned that the Israeli advance against the center
18:10of the Gaza Strip caused the death of at least two people.
18:21Israeli occupation forces killed more than 130 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip over the last hours.
18:27Health authorities denounced that most attacks took place near Israeli and U.S. controlled
18:32humanitarian aid distribution areas.
18:35They also warned that several victims are trapped under the rubble,
18:39so it is difficult to give an exact figure of the number of casualties.
18:43Since October 7, 2023, occupation troops have killed more than 58,890 Palestinians
18:51and wounded over 140,980, mostly women and children.
19:02Many things happened, including suffering, oppression, hunger, and death,
19:06and we expected that these massacres would stop,
19:08or that someone would stand with us and say,
19:10we are with you, or that someone would stop this Holocaust.
19:12But no action took place,
19:15and today we have reached a stage where we no longer have any expectations,
19:18and we no longer expect or wait for anything from anyone,
19:21not even from the world.
19:21This crime is a link in a chain of occupation crimes that terrorize the innocent
19:29and do not differentiate between a child, an old man, a woman, or a man.
19:38This brutal enemy does not abide by sharia laws or customs.
19:43The government of 25 nations across the world called Israel Monday
19:48to stop the genocide against the Palestinian families in Gaza.
19:52Through a joint declaration, countries such as Austria, Belgium, Canada, France,
19:57and the United Kingdom condemned the escalation of the humanitarian crisis
20:00promoted by the Sionist regime in the Palestinian territories.
20:05The group denounced the deaths of at least 800 people
20:08while trying to access humanitarian aid,
20:10as well as the Israeli blockade to essential services.
20:14The declaration recalled the death of more than 70 children due to famine
20:19and demanded the nations of the world to put pressure on Tel Aviv
20:23to stop its aggressions in the Gaza Strip.
20:32The Handala, a ship sailing from the Italian port of Gallipoli,
20:37departed from the Gaza Strip
20:38to face the blockade of humanitarian aid
20:41that the Sionist regime promotes against the Palestinian families.
20:4421 international activists on board, including six U.S. citizens,
20:48seek to denounce the siege imposed by Israel
20:51on the occupied Palestinian territories.
20:54According to the volunteers,
20:56the ship was sabotaged before sailing
20:58as a strategy to prevent humanitarian aid
21:00from arriving in the Gaza Strip.
21:03Crew members warned that Sionism
21:04might try to intercept the humanitarian ship
21:07after Israel ordered in June 2025
21:10to stop the Madeleine
21:12as it was approaching the Palestinian coasts.
