00:00Tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on several countries of the world came into effect early Thursday morning.
00:13The government of Argentina suffers a new setback in deputies after the approval of financing to universities and the rescue of the Garahan Pediatric Hospital.
00:30And in Palestine, more than 14,800 patients in Gaza are still in urgent need of specialized medical treatment according to the World Health Organization.
00:50Hello, welcome from the south. I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Dresdue Studios in Havana, Cuba. We're beginning the news.
01:00The tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on several countries of the world came into effect early Thursday morning.
01:15At 12.01 local time, the North American nation started applying levies on all exports from other countries to the United States.
01:25After several days of delays, extensions and negotiations, at least 70 countries will face tariffs based on their relations and trade balance.
01:36The most affected nations by the new tariffs so far are Syria, with 41%, while the European Union, Japan and South Korea, for example, face 15%.
01:45Before announcing the entry of these taxes through his social media, the president imposed tariffs of 100% to ships and semiconductors.
01:54At 12.01 Jadi, of course, unmercared the
02:19And the 200th anniversary of the independence of Bolivia was celebrated in Zucre, the city
02:42where the act of independence from Spanish colonialism was signed.
02:45And Luis Arce warned of the threat against the country's natural resources and social progress
02:51if neoliberalism is reinstated in the elections due to take place mid-month.
02:56Our correspondent, Fred Morales, with all the details.
02:59The 200th anniversary of independence was celebrated at the Casa de la Libertad in the city of Zucre,
03:05where the founding charter of the First Republic of Bolivar, which later became Bolivia, was
03:10signed by the Constitution's deputies.
03:14May we continue to live in peace and unity.
03:19May all those in authority carry out their work harmoniously.
03:23And may there be a bright future for all young people.
03:27May these 200 years mark the start of something much bigger.
03:31From the depths of the valleys and plains to the heights of the highlands, we celebrate
03:34this day with open hearts.
03:37During these 200 years that we have been independent, we have our right to freedom.
03:43I am proud to be Bolivian and to participate in Bolivia's 200th anniversary.
03:48And I am grateful to the country.
03:51The Legislative Assembly had an honor session.
03:54The President Luis Arce highlighted the merciless exploitation of the country's natural resources
04:00and the damage caused by neoliberal policies.
04:06Neoliberalism resulted in 60% of the population living below the poverty line, 38% of whom,
04:13almost four of every ten Bolivians, lived in extreme poverty.
04:18However, neoliberalism also left us with a bigger state that was dependent on international
04:25organizations to pay public servant salaries.
04:28They wanted to privatize public resources, and once again, the people rose up.
04:35He recalled that his administration had to overcome very step-backs during his time in
04:40power, which is due to end and the end of this year.
04:45Like never before, we have been victims of the climate crisis, forcing us to reevaluate
04:50many things for the future.
04:52We have also experienced a series of broad blockades, marches, and sabotage of the legislative
04:58assembly and economic and social laws.
05:01A failed coup d'etat incited a situation conducive to speculation, smuggling, fuel and dollar
05:08shortage, and the depletion of tax derivatives and economy.
05:15Despite adverse conditions, he claimed not to have compromised his principles.
05:24Despite all the sabotage and conspiracy, we have maintained the hydrocarbon subsidy.
05:29We did not suspend free healthcare or the income redistribution vouchers.
05:35Secondly, we never sold out our country or bowered down to any empire.
05:43We defend our heritage, natural resource and industry.
05:49No one can accuse us of handing over our country's wealth to the so-called men of lithium of the
05:5521st century.
05:56The head of state emphasized that more than 66,000 projects were completed during his term
06:02in office, including 1,000 education infrastructure projects, and that 8 million people are covered
06:09by the state-run free healthcare system.
06:11The celebration in the city of Sucre was attended by a representative of 40 countries and the president
06:17of Honduras and Maracastro.
06:35Australian authorities say the Great Barrier Reef has seen its greatest annual loss of life
06:41across most of its expanse in four decades of record.
06:46Australian Institute of Marine Science said in its annual survey on Wednesday that due
06:51to increasing coral cover since 2017, the coral deaths, caused mainly by bleaching last year
06:58associated with climate change, have left the area of living coral across the iconic reef
07:04system close to its long-term average.
07:07The change underscores a new level of volatility, on the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
07:13Mike Emsley heads the Tropical Marine Research Agency's Long-Term Monitoring Program.
07:19He said the live coral cover measured in 2024, was the largest recorded in 39 years of surveys.
07:26Australian Institute of Marine Science's Long-Term Monitoring Program has just released our annual
07:34report for our 39th year of monitoring the Great Barrier Reef.
07:39And what we've found has been substantial impacts from the 2024 mass coral bleaching event.
07:47We divide the Great Barrier Reef into three regions, the north, the centre and the south.
07:53And what we've found was the highest annual decline in live coral cover that we've recorded
08:00in our monitoring program in both the northern and the southern Great Barrier Reef.
08:05There were still losses in the central Great Barrier Reef, but it was somewhat less than the
08:10other two regions at only 14%.
08:13So the northern underwent a loss of about a quarter of the live coral cover and the southern
08:18Great Barrier Reef was almost a third.
08:20So these are substantial impacts and evidence that the increasing frequency of coral bleaching
08:27is really starting to have detrimental effects on the Great Barrier Reef.
08:35The losses from such a high base of coral cover had partially cushioned the serious climate
08:40impacts on the world's largest reef ecosystem, which covers 344,000 square kilometres off the
08:47northeast Australian coast.
08:52Climate change is the number one cause of these mass coral bleaching events.
08:56There is a direct link between the increases of global greenhouse emissions, rising temperatures,
09:03sea surface temperatures that lead to these heat stress events and mass coral bleaching.
09:10Emsaly's agency divides the Great Barrier Reef, which extension 1500 kilometres along the Queensland
09:19state coast, into three similarly sized regions, northern, central, and southern.
09:27So in recent years we have seen increases in the amount of live coral cover on the Great Barrier
09:45Reef.
09:46It has recovered from a previous bleaching event, which finished in 2017.
09:52We saw increases through to 2024 where we recorded the highest levels of coral cover in the 39 years
10:00of monitoring.
10:02And because we came off such a high base, this has somewhat cushioned the impact of the 2024
10:09bleaching, and coral cover has declined to about near the long-term average.
10:16However, this isn't to underscore the seriousness of the impacts.
10:21While there's still a lot of coral cover out there, these are record declines that we have
10:25seen in any one year of monitoring.
10:30Corals can recover from bleaching.
10:33It does take months for that to happen.
10:35They reabsorb the little, tiny algae, and start to recover.
10:40But it doesn't impose all these indirect effects on them.
10:44So they'll have slower growth.
10:46Because of record global heat in 2023 and 2024, the world is still going through its biggest
10:53and fourth ever recorded mass coral bleaching event on record, with heat stress hurting nearly
10:5984 percent of the world's coral reef area, including the Great Barrier Reef, according to
11:05the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Coral Reef Watch.
11:11So far, at least 83 countries have been impacted.
11:18And now for our first break coming up, remember you can join us on TikTok at Telesur English,
11:23where you can follow up all the latest news updates.
11:26We're going to be right back.
11:39Welcome back.
11:40In Colombia, economic policies are bearing fruit in areas such as poverty and unemployment.
11:45The figures were highlighted by the government of Gustavo Petro and acknowledged by analysts,
11:49political, trade union, and business organization.
11:52Correspondent Dan Tobar with the details.
11:54It's the lowest of the history registered with the president.
11:57In the third year of President Petro's administration, the National Statistics Department reported in June
12:072025, the lowest unemployment rate, 8.6 percent, compared to 10.3 percent in 2024, which meant that approximately
12:16500,000 more people were employed.
12:23There has been a policy that has allowed in spite of the announced crisis, which is not true in economic matters.
12:33The population is recovering through the policies and opportunities provided by this progressive and alternative government.
12:43Opportunities to seek employment to satisfy their basic needs and for the significant reduction of unemployment and, of course, of inequality and poverty.
12:52Because a family that can access a job, a decent job, a decent job, because work has to consider the nature of human beings and the satisfaction of their fundamental needs.
13:05The sectors that have contributed to the fall in unemployment are services, agriculture, and tourism, areas in which there could be greater projection if the policies of promotion and investment continue, according to the workers' centers.
13:20Colombia is one of the most inequitable countries in the world.
13:27This inequality is impressive, and this concentration of power and wealth did not translate into benefits for the majority of the Colombian people, but rather for a minority population that made of the country what they wanted.
13:39Today we see a different possibility and that is why we hope that the process that the people are going through will show that we need to continue with this political project, so that there will be an alternative and progressive government that will join these initiatives.
13:55Another indicator of good economic management and social policies is the reduction of monetary poverty, which by 2024 has the lowest rates in history, which means that at least 2 million people will be lifted out of this condition.
14:12Monetary poverty is a calculation of a line, and it is calculated if the income per person in a household is less than 460,000 pesos per month.
14:27This means that people are below the monetary poverty line, and if it is higher, they are above it.
14:36It is an indicator, it will not be the most perfect, but it is one of the indicators we have to be able to understand the progress of poverty.
14:43In Colombia, monetary poverty has been calculated in the same way since 2012, which allows us to make comparisons between years of how poverty evolves.
15:00What comes out in the figures and what the President mentioned yesterday in his speech is that we have reached 31.8% of households below the monetary poverty line, which is the lowest since 2012 and represents a strategic and important advance in this area.
15:19For analysts, the economic policy promoted by the executive has achieved significant progress. Important data such as the drop in inflation, which stood at 4.8% for the month of June of this year, the lowest figure since 2021, while the considerable increase in the minimum wage, which has ranged between 9.53% and 16%, has been maintained.
15:45And the government of Argentina offers a new setback in deputies after the approval of financing to universities and the rescue of the Garahan Pediatric Hospital.
16:01The initiative was approved by a large majority collecting 159 votes to 67 and 4 abstentions.
16:07The position, meanwhile, get a vote with which they could challenge the constant vetoes of recient Javier Mele.
16:13Now, the project to improve the university budget drawn up by the study houses themselves will go to the Senate, where it must be approved, as does the rescue of the Garahan Hospital in order to become law.
16:25In this context, earlier, the demonstrations of retirees in front of the National Congress was repressed by the security forces while the Congress was in session.
16:37The pensioners, state workers, scientists, university professors, and public health personnel gathered to demand once more that what the executive power decides to silence with vetoes and decrease be heard.
16:49In this sense, the security forces attacked with water cannon trucks and robobullets, workers, and retirees, who demanded in front of the Laserev Palace an increase, a budget, and a stop to decrease of dissolution of public institutions.
17:03This is not enough.
17:10They surround us as if we were delinquents, and we are not delinquents, we are not.
17:16Let's see if they understand once and for all that he gets into the protocol where the sun doesn't shine.
17:23The issue of the veto of the law is the following, unfortunately we have in this palace, in this place, in the Congress that belongs to all the people, we have 169 deputies, and senators who work for the three embassies, for Israel, the United States and England, and this gentleman is the worshipper of England, that is why we are as we are.
17:46This is criminal. This is criminalizing protest. You can't protest in Argentina. If you protest, they beat you. If you protest, they repress you. If you protest and show your protest, they ban you. As happened to my son, this government is criminal.

18:34Welcome back. In Palestine, more than 14,800 patients are in urgent need of specialized medical treatment, according to the World Health Organization.
18:58World Health Organization. The World Health Organization director, Tedos Adam Carabiasos, called the international community to act quickly and offered to accept patients for medical evacuations to be expedited by all possible routes.
19:11The call came as the World Health Organization announced it had facilitated the medical evaluation of 15 critically ill children to Jordan on Wednesday morning, accompanied by 42 companions.
19:21It is important to highlight that the WHO has repeatedly expressed concern about the overwhelmed and deteriorating health system in Gaza, as hospitals struggled to cope with mounting casualties and severe shortages of medical supplies due to the Israeli genocide.
19:40And Israel's aggressions and invasions against Syria are also attracting attention in Turkey. Experts declared that the Syrian state is pursuing a plan to establish a so-called David's Corridor. Detail from correspondent, Yunus Suner.
19:57With its regional aggression, including the most recent siege against Syria, Israel is increasing its territory, explains Sihab Yaiki, retired naval forces admiral and chairman of the Turkish Maritime Research and Global Strategy Center.
20:157,500 square kilometers are currently under Israeli control in Syria. The total area of Israel is 22,0 square kilometers. Israel has grown 30 of its territory.
20:27The admiral explains that the occupation is part of a larger plan, the so-called David's Corridor, in reference to the biblical figure.
20:37The David Corridor will connect Israel to eastern and northern Syria and later to Iraq. This part is occupied by terrorists who are supported by the United States and Israel.
20:51In the center here are the Druze groups under United States control. And this is the part occupied by IRL after the fall of Assad.
20:59The corridor is not Israel's declared official policy, says Fari Arenal, former Brigadier General of the Turkish Armed Forces. Rather, it is the conclusion of the level statements by the Israeli state, but within a grand concept.
21:20This corridor has a religious significance for Israel, it is the promised lands covering the territory from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River in Iraq.
21:31Under religious ideology, Israel pursues very specific objectives.
21:37The military and security objective is to have a line from Lebanon to Iraq, cutting off Iran's connection to the region.
21:47In addition, oil in the autonomous region of Kurdistan in Iraq can be transported through this corridor to the port of Haifa.
21:56Natural gas fields are also found in Deir is Sur, Raqqa and Haseqa. And southern Syria is the region with the largest water reserves.
22:06In the middle of the corridor is the United States military base, Altanf, where, according to Arenal, 3,000 Syrians were recently trained, while the forces of the de facto government in Syria are forbidden to enter areas of the corridor.
22:24Both experts say that Israel wants a weak central government and local authorities under its control. If the plan is carried out, it will have effects for the Turkish people.
22:36De facto, Israel becomes a neighbour of the Turkish people. Even though the name of this place is not Israel, we know that it is actually Israel. This is Unistan.
22:48Both experts propose that, in order to break this corridor, the Turkish army should conduct a military offensive against its northeast, together with the central Syrian government. But given the military and political weakness of Damascus, they do not hold out much hope.
23:03Yunus Soner, Telesur, Istanbul, Turkey.
23:07An Aganian military helicopter crashed on Wednesday near Sikaman, in the Asianti region, came all eight people on board, including Defense Minister Edward Omane Boaman, Warman Minister, Ibrahim Muttala Mohamed, senior government officials and crew members.
23:22The C9 helicopter had taken off from Akran and was headed toward the gold mining area of Oboasi when it lost contact with the air traffic controllers. The exact cause of the crash remains under investigation.
23:33Eyewitnesses reported a workers burning in the forest, and the government described the incident as a national tragedy. It is one of Ghana's worst air disasters in over a decade, leading to national mourning with flags flown at half-mast and official engagements suspended.
23:46The ministers and officials were traveling to an event focused on responsible mining practices.
