00:45Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Adelsu Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:50We begin with the news.
00:57On the South, the Minister of the Interior, Justice and Peace of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, denounced details of terrorist operations
01:09aimed at creating destabilization in the country.
01:11Minister Cabello referred to the attempt by the extremist opposition allied with criminal guns to detonate a bomb in Plaza Venezuela.
01:17The action was awarded by coordinated action and an in-depth investigation by the authorities.
01:23Minister said that they investigated the report of foreign material in warehouses in the city of Maturin
01:29and explained that what they found is alarming due to the extremely destructive power of the materials.
01:35In regard, Cabello highlighted that so far eight people have been arrested.
01:38However, state security agencies are searching for another 12 linked to the far-right representative, Maria Corina Machado.
01:44They wanted to detonate a bomb, a high-power bomb, in Venezuela Square, which could have killed quite a number of Venezuelans
02:03and which would have left a very strong psychological impact.
02:09We are committed, the President and all of the authorities are committed, to continue investigating that incident,
02:22because we have strong intelligence bodies.
02:32And some people alerted us that here in the city of Maturin, they had seen certain strange materials.
02:41And we carried out, through the police, an investigation, the armed forces.
02:51And we have come to this industrial site.
03:01It's been a team effort.
03:03And what we found here, it's alarming.
03:08Considering the high destructive power of the stuff being kept here.
03:15We have started an investigation.
03:18And Venezuelan people know that we are very professional.
03:24We have eight people detained already.
03:29And we are searching for 10 or 12 more individuals.
03:37And in Venezuela, the Minister of Interior Justice and Peace, Diosado Cabello,
03:40reviewed the progress of the investigation into the large treatment of explosive intended for terrorist acts
03:45in the city of Maturin.
03:50When this empty charge gets into the tank, it breaks up and kills the people inside.
03:57All of these are empty charges, empty shells.
04:11And there's a lot of secondary explosive charges, electro detonators, wires to connect everything.
04:30The systems of empty shells, cell phones.
04:37All of this was kept here.
04:51I want to alert the Venezuelan people.
04:56Considering the dangers of this, the danger associated to this.
05:02And how much damage this material could cause to the people of Venezuela.
05:10We know that those responsible for this are directly linked to Maria Machado.
05:24None of this is spontaneous.
05:27This is planned by the U.S. Empire to hurt Venezuela.
05:33On Saturday, Venezuelan lawmakers unanimously contempt the recent attacks by the White House against Venezuela and its authorities.
05:41In a statement read by the National Assembly's President Jorge Rodriguez,
05:44lawmakers rejected the absurd actions announced by the U.S. Attorney General's Office
05:48against Venezuela's Constitutional President Nicolas Maduro and the Bolivarian people.
05:53The President of the National Assembly described the U.S. actions as old and useless formulas of imperialism
05:59with the aim of disturbing the country's peace.
06:02Rodriguez asserted that Venezuela is not only the safest country in the continent,
06:05but also the one with the best emerging economy.
06:08We reject the absurd and desperate actions announced by the United States Attorney General's Office,
06:22which are clearly illegal and without any real basis beyond an attempt at delusional aggression
06:28against the constitutional president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela,
06:34Nicolas Maduro, and against our revolutionary and brave people.
06:39These operations have no other purpose than to once again encourage extremist groups and the region to resume the violence that has been defeated
06:49and will continue to be defeated across the board by our government and our people.
06:59Likewise lawmakers have expressed their full support to President Maduro in the defense of the homeland,
07:03considering him to be the guarantor of peace.
07:06This legitimately elected and diverse parliament supports the constitutional president
07:13and expresses our absolute conviction to accompany him in the defense of our sacred homeland.
07:21Colombian President Gustavo Petro revealed that his government has begun talks outside the country with the self-proclaimed armed group
07:27Caetanista Army, also known as the Gulf Clan.
07:30During a speech delivered in the Department of Cordoba,
07:32the president asserted that the talks must have a concentration zone, social objectives in the territories,
07:37and legal agreements that must be established with the Attorney General's Office, first and foremost, and with the judges.
07:43The Colombian president also assured that the characteristics of this process of talks differ from those established in the past.
07:50Pedro traveled to Cordoba to attend a ceremony to give 16,000 acres of land to farmers in the region.
07:56We have initiated conversations outside of Colombia with the self-proclaimed Caetanista Army.
08:11We are trying to cut off the finances of the groups that fuel violence in many regions of Colombia.
08:20Today we are talking about illicit economies, cocaine, perhaps the largest.
08:27So this must be discussed at the negotiation tables.
08:33If it is possible to peacefully dismantle drug trafficking in Colombia so that there can be keys.
