00:57Hello, welcome to From the South.

01:02I'm Sophie Fernandez from the Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba.

01:06We begin with the news.

01:07On Tuesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Mongolian

01:13President Ukranagin Kuleshchur, with the aim of strengthening cooperation ties with the

01:18between the three nations.

01:20The Chinese leader held a trilateral meeting with his counterparts from Russia and Mongolia,

01:25with whom he discussed the prospects for expanding cooperation between the three countries.

01:30Previously, Xi Jinping participated in the 25th summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organizations.

01:38The event was attended by more than 20 heads of state and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres,

01:44underlining the international significance of the meeting.

01:47Xi Jinping proposed that the countries present at work towards a more just and equitable world

01:52and governance system, and move towards a community with a shared future for humanity.

02:05In this context, the Chinese President received his Russian counterpart in a demonstration that

02:09binational relations have passed the test of international situation, making them a model of friendly

02:15relations between states.

02:18He also ratified the ties of friendship and cooperation that unite their nations, while ratifying

02:23their commitment to national development and prosperity, as well as to the defense of the

02:27international justice and equality.

02:38China is willing to work with Russia to support each other's revitalization and development,

02:42steadily defend international justice and fairness, and promote and build a more fair and equitable

02:47global governance system.

02:49For his part, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized the trust, confidence and mutual support

02:54in building strong strategic cooperation.

02:59The memory of being brothers in arms, trust, mutual assistance, firmness in defending common

03:06interests, formed the basis of the comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation between

03:11Russia and China in the new era.

03:14We were always together then, we remain together now.

03:24In Spain, the Global Summit's flotilla sells sail Tuesday from the port of Barcelona after

03:41a delay caused by poor weather conditions.

03:45The flotilla, which aims to break the humanitarian blockade imposed by the Israeli regime in Gaza,

03:50had to turn back a few hours after setting sail from the coast of Spain due to the unsafe weather

03:56in the Mediterranean Sea, but managed to resume its routes toward Gaza in the afternoon, local

04:01time.

04:02The twenty vessels, carrying humanitarian aid, food and medical supplies, are considered the

04:08biggest civilian flotilla of its kind in history.

04:12Meanwhile, Benjamin Foreign Minister Maxim Pebrot announced that his country will recognize the

04:17Palestinian state during the United Nations General Assembly in September.

04:23Belgium joined several other Western countries, such as France and the United Kingdom, which

04:28have also announced that they will recognize the Palestinian state at the United Nations General

04:33Assembly to be held from September 9th to 23rd in New York.

04:38In addition, Belgium has announced that it will vote in favor of suspending cooperation

04:42with Israel at the European level, including research and technical cooperation programs.

04:58Vietnam celebrated Tuesday the 80th anniversary of its revolution and the proclamation of its

05:03socialist republic.

05:05The event marks the nation's declaration of independence from French colonialism on September

05:102nd, 1945, which turned the Asian country into a beacon of hope for the liberation movements

05:16across the world.

05:18Vietnam has presently a developing economy, with an increasing improvement of its population living

05:24standards, a stable social and political situation and strong institutions that guarantee

05:29its defense and security.

05:31Its economic integration with the rest of the world is increasingly wider and profound.

05:36The celebration featured a military parade in the country's capital, Hanoi, which brought

05:41together around 40,000 participants, organizing 87 military divisions, ceremonial units, civilian

05:49groups, militias and police forces and motorized and specialized vehicle units.

05:54The ceremony also highlighted the nation's friendly international relations, with the participation

05:59of military units from neighboring China, Russia, Laos and Cambodia.

06:04The event concluded with a full artistic program organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports

06:09and Tourism.

06:11Rescue teams continued to search for a missing helicopter that lost contacts in a forest in

06:16Indonesia's tropical islands of Borneo 8, minutes after takeout.

06:21The Airbus VK-117-D3, owned by Estindo Air, departed from the airport in Kotabaru district in

06:30Indonesia's Seoul, Kalimantan province, on Monday, on its way to Palangankalaka, city in central

06:37Kalimantan province.

06:38It was supposed to arrive at 10.15 am local time.

06:42Its last contact with air traffic control was at 8.55 am local time.

06:48The helicopter, carrying one pilot, one engineer and six passengers, lost contact at the Mantewe

06:54Forest area in Natambububu district.

06:58Search and rescue teams were sent by land and air, including a helicopter used for fighting

07:03fires.

07:05Today, the area that will be covered in the search to be conducted by 140 people is 27

07:14square kilometers based on information on lost contact from air navigation to lost contact

07:20that we obtained from flight radar 24 that we received from the head office of the National

07:25Search and Rescue Agency.

07:28And now we have a short break coming up, but first, remember you can join us on TikTok at

07:31Tell us what English, where you will find news in different formats, news updates and more.

07:35We'll be right back, stay with us!

07:58Welcome back.

08:02In Sudan, at least a thousand people died as a result of a landslide that destroyed the

08:07village in the Mahra mountain area in the western region of Darfur, leaving only one survival.

08:13According to a rebel group that controls the area, the village of Tarzin in the Jebel Mahra

08:18area was destroyed by a landslide, which caused the deaths of approximately 1,000 individuals,

08:24and only one survival has been found.

08:27The movement is making an urgent appeal to the United Nations and to regional and international

08:32organizations to help recover the bodies of the victims who are still under the rubble.

08:38Meanwhile in Afghanistan, authorities continued search and rescue efforts in Kunar province

08:42after the 6.0 magnitude earthquake that left more than 900 deaths.

08:48Afghanistan spokesperson Zabidele Mujahid said that support teams and medical are still

08:54helping the affected, while rescue teams continue to look for the missing.

08:59However, these operations have been hindering by landslides that have blocked vital roads

09:03in the region.

09:05Amidst the tragedy, the Afghan government has formed a special committee to coordinate the

09:09emergency response.

09:11Meanwhile, the Ministry of Interior, Defence and Health together with the Red Crescent,

09:17remain mobilized, delivering basic foodstuff, medical supplies and other essential items

09:23to the affected areas.

09:24On Monday, Guyana held presidential and legislative elections that were crucial in defining its political

09:31and economic course in a context marked by the oil boom.

09:35More than 750,000 citizens were eligible to vote in about 2,790 polling stations distributed

09:44throughout the country, most of which is covered by tropical rainforests.

09:48The Electoral Commission announced that preliminary results will not be known until next Thursday.

09:55Observers from the European Union, the Organization of American States, CARICOM and the Carter Center

10:01described the elections as orderly and transparent. The day passed peacefully, although there were

10:07reports of low turnout in several areas and logistical difficulties.

10:12In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro denounced the deployment of U.S. warships and a nuclear

10:16submarine in the Caribbean Sea targeting Venezuela.

10:20The President described the U.S. military mobilization as the greatest threat in the history

10:24of Latin America.

10:26Also the head of state asserted that the military maneuver is an extravagant, unjustifiable,

10:31immoral, absolutely criminal and bloody threat.

10:35Maduro emphasized that Washington has wanted to move toward what they call a maximum pressure

10:40and responded to this case by declaring maximum preparation for the defense of Venezuela.

10:46He also assured that the United States has staged a forced and warned President Donald Trump

10:50that the extremist mafia in Miami has taken political power in the White House and has influenced

10:56the U.S. foreign policy throughout the State Department.

10:59On its end, Colombia called for Latin America and the Caribbean to remain a region free of

11:04military intervention at CELAC's online Foreign Minister Summit.

11:08Colombia's Foreign Minister Rosa Villavicencio highlighted the importance of the meeting in

11:13the context of the U.S. military deployment in the Caribbean Sea.

11:17On the other hand, the bloc's foreign ministers retaliated their commitment to preserving Latin America

11:25as a region free of military intervention and in strict compliance with international law.

11:31The regional organization declared Latin America and the Caribbean as a son of peace during

11:35its second summit meeting held in Havana in 2014.

11:40The Havana gathering also supported the 1967 treaty held in Tlatololco, Mexico, which established

11:46the region as a free of nuclear weapons.

11:50And during the CELAC summit, Venezuela denounced the military deployment carried out by the United

11:54States in the Caribbean.

11:56According to Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Hill, the growing U.S. military deployment in

12:01the Caribbean waters is a serious threat to regional peace and flagrant violation of the

12:06status of peace zone declared by CELAC in 2014.

12:10The high Venezuelan official said that Venezuela faces an unprecedented situation in terms of

12:15regional security, with the presence of eight U.S. warships in the Caribbean Sea, with more

12:21than 1,200 missiles on board and nearly 4,200 troops trained and ready for an invasion.

12:29And also warned of the possible presence in the area of a nuclear submarine, which not only

12:33violates the 2014 zone of peace declaration, but also the treaty of Tlatololco.

12:43As an excuse for this unusual and, let's say, gross deployment on our coast, a completely

12:54false narrative has been used.

12:59A narrative accusing Venezuela and our president, Nichols Maduro Moros,

13:08as leaders of an alleged cartel that they have named the Cartel of the Sons, a cartel that

13:18was supposed to smuggle drugs into this region.

13:22And it is a narrative that has been debunked, even by the United States agencies themselves,

13:28and by a report by the U.S. State Department itself, the NODC, which is the United Nations

13:35Agency for Drug Control, and the fight against organized crime, has repeatedly pointed out

13:40that Venezuela, first and foremost, is a territory free of illegal crops.

14:02The final short break coming, don't go away.

14:15Welcome back to From the South.

14:17Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro will not appear before the Supreme Court during

14:21the final phase of the trial against him, which begins on Tuesday and will last until

14:26September 12.

14:28The 70-year-old former president, who is under house arrest, must be declared innocent or guilty

14:34by the federal Supreme Court, the highest court of justice in Brazil, whose decision

14:39is final.

14:40His lawyer, Celso Vilardi, has stated that Bolsonaro will not attend the court during the final stage

14:46of his trial.

14:47Bolsonaro is accused, among many other things, of having defended a coup d'etat to prevent

14:53Lula da Silva, whom defeated him in the 2020 elections, from taking power.

14:58Meanwhile, in Argentina, justice gave in to Javier Millet's government and censored the

15:03release of a new audio recording about the bribery scandal at the National Disability Agency.

15:10Opposition politicians said that the ruling of the federal civil and commercial judge of

15:15the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires sets a serious precedent for transparency and the fight

15:20against corruption.

15:21They also denounced that the censorship not only prevents citizens from learning the truth

15:26about the case, but also protects potentially implicated government officials, weakening democratic

15:31institutions and the right access to information.

15:34We're here in Havana, Cuba.

15:41Behind me is De Malecón, maybe one of the best known places in the Cuban capital.

15:47But today we want to take you to other places of the city, places that are less well known,

16:06but where neighbors day to day are working in a collaborative effort, always thinking in

16:12the best for their communities.

16:13In this case, we went to El Cerro, that is about seven to eight kilometers south from here.

16:19In there, Annie Becks, in her house, in her workshops, she is leading her own revolution,

16:25a revolution against consumerism and waste society that is hurting our world so much.

16:32Today, in the Cuban way, De Vuelta.

16:36In Cuba, the culture of recycling takes root in Havana, with small private entrepreneurs,

16:41such as the ones who founded De Vuelta, a company that recycles this regarded glass to create

16:46new products for commercial and social use.

16:49Our correspondent in Havana, Belén de los Santos, tells us more.

16:54De Vuelta is Spanish for coming back around, rediscovering what had been discarded.

17:00This is the name of the glass recycling project born in El Cerro, a neighborhood in the south of Havana,

17:06led by Annie Becks.

17:08Nurse, actress and creator, her interest in creating environmental awareness in her community

17:14dates back to her childhood.

17:17Since I was a child, I used to look for bottles.

17:21My job at the Revolution Defense Committee was to recover raw material and I used to go around with a card

17:27knocking on doors so that the bottles were thrown away to recover them.

17:31My love for that, for recycling, for the environment, has always been there.

17:36It is a concern of mine and a latent commitment.

17:43The project began in the year 2021, after the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the harshest face of a world in crisis.

17:50Since then, De Vuelta seeks to educate about the concrete impact that our actions have on the planet.

17:57In its creative recycling workshops, children and adults learn to transform bottles rescued from the trash into new treasures.

18:05And when they finish, they are ready to continue replicating the experience in their communities.

18:10What I was most excited about was to come and learn this technique and then go back home and be able to give a new life and a new form to everything we have collected.

18:20I also want to integrate it to the construction of my house, which is really the objective I am looking for.

18:29I want to make skylights with bottles in the areas we are building right now and also to transmit the idea to people who might be interested.

18:38That you don't have to look for one of these nice skylights from the store, that you can make them in a very practical way with bottles.

18:45Through creative contact with the material, De Vuelta pursues a deeper goal.

18:53To demonstrate that consumerism and throw away mentality from capitalism is the cause of the serious environmental crisis that the planet is going through.

19:05Normally, we see the culture, the culture of consumerism. Let's put it that way.

19:10Where something is no longer useful. It has lost its use, supposedly, and it's gone.

19:15But those things can be transformed into something else.

19:18You can give them another use and you feel it a little more yours.

19:21When you start to see everything that can be done with glass, you have a little more respect when it comes to throw it away or not.

19:28It is a rebellion against consumer society, which is what is largely destroying the planet.

19:42Behind each glass, behind each recycled cup, there is a collective effort.

19:47And for Annie Becks, at the end of the day, what matters most is the power of joining efforts in the face of adversity.

19:54Glass is a pretext to do something together, to transform something that was no longer useful, no longer functional, and make it work.

20:07I emphasize this a lot in my workshops.

20:12Unity.

20:14The importance of coming together, of doing something together.

20:17To care about what you are doing and getting involved to help you do it better.

20:22So I am constantly promoting this.

20:26The importance of uniting, of standing together.

20:31Because separated, we are not going anywhere.

20:34Belen de los Santos, Denise Arabi, for Telesur, from Havana, Cuba.
