00:00Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro warned that the entire country will respond with armed struggle to any attempt of aggression against the national territory, in full defense of its stability and sovereignty.
00:22U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that the 2026 G20 summit will be held in Miami, marking the first time in nearly two decades that the country will host the gathering.
00:37In Palestine, over 64.000 citizens were killed and over 162.000 were injured after the completion of 700 days of the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip.
01:00Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm Sophie Fernandez from the Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba. We'll begin with the news.
01:06Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro warned that the entire country will respond with armed struggle to any attempt of aggression against the national territory, in full defense of stability and sovereignty.
01:18During the activation of the Community Mid-Asia units, Maduro retaliated that the plan of the Venezuelan people is to live in peace.
01:25The president affirmed that Venezuela was a territory free of cocaine growing and production,
01:30rejecting what he called a false narrative imposed by the U.S. imperialism in an attempt to justify its interventionist aggressions against Venezuela and the rest of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean.
01:43It's very important because of our combat against the violence-generating gangs in Venezuela,
01:58against the violence-generating groups, against the armed terrorists and drug traffickers from Colombia,
02:07against all those groups. We have achieved a great victory, and due to the great victory of our Bolivarian National Armed Forces, together with the Union of Military,
02:22police and popular forces. Venezuela is today a territory free of coca leaf production, free of drug processing in the country,
02:35and very soon we will be 100% free of any attempt to bring even one gram of that drug into the national territory,
02:45and that is an achievement of our integral defense doctrine.
02:51Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro denounced the criminal plans of the U.S. imperialism to dominate and colonize all the peoples of the world.
03:00They have plans to conquer, colonize, colonize, and dominate the world.
03:11They can have their plans, but we have plans for peace, stability, tranquility, and national unity in Venezuela,
03:21in line with the new multipolar world that has already been born.
03:25These are our plans, so we are already on the right track. There has never been a more just and sacred cause than ours.
03:34Founded by Bolivar, continued by Commander Chavez, and today we are making it prevail with the power of the nation,
03:43with the immense power that comes from the unity of the people, their military, and their police.
03:50In this regard, President Nicolas Maduro assured that the country is in a state of military readiness over the U.S. threats,
03:59and that it will go right away into the armed struggle phase in the face of any aggression attempt.
04:05Everything has its phase. Right now we are in the enlistment phase, in the preparation phase, and we are going to move on to the phase of deploying defensive capabilities,
04:24and training, and training, and retraining the entire Venezuelan population.
04:31We are still in the phase of an armed struggle, which is as political, communicational, institutional, national, and international nature,
04:43and which is a phase of development.
04:49But if Venezuela were to be attacked in any way, we would move on to the stage of plan, organized, armed defense by the entire population,
04:59against any aggression, whether local, regional, or national, we would move into a stage of armed struggle in defense of peace, territorial integrity, sovereignty, and our people.
05:16In other news, the Puerto Rican Independence Party demanded that the local legislative assembly cancel any plan aimed at remilitarizing the country.
05:25This ultimately addressed to the Trump administration and Congress in the context of U.S. Navy maneuvers in the Caribbean.
05:31It follows Pentagon orders to station F-35 jets at an airbase in Puerto Rico.
05:38The deployment takes place in parallel to the growing U.S. threats against the sovereignty of Venezuela.
05:44The party documents calls for decolonization and the cleanup of land contaminated by U.S. military exercises.
05:51Puerto Rico's political status as a Commonwealth allows for some autonomy.
05:55But Washington controls defense, borders, and diplomatic relations.
06:00And now we go to Argentina, where the Ministry of Human Capital acknowledged that the audit Middle-Ace government claimed to have carried out
06:06to justify the cessation of food assistance to soup kitchens does not exist.
06:11It occurred after a request for access to public information filed by the National Deputy for Buenos Aires, Natalia Saracho, on May 16, 2024.
06:21This request came one day after the head of the Cabinet, Nicolas Pozo, announced in Congress that nearly 50% of the soup kitchens were non-existent, based on an alleged audit.
06:32The Ministry of Human Capital admitted that the audit turns out to be non-existent.
06:38Claims based on the alleged audit serve to suspend the supply of provisions to soup kitchens,
06:43leaving millions of kilos of food undistributed, many of the verge of expiration.
06:49Now, still in Argentina, where the international meeting Cultural Rights to Imagine Democracies and Citizenship is taking place.
07:06Now, still in Argentina, where the international meeting Cultural Rights to Imagine Democracies
07:13and Citizenship is taking place.
07:16The event, which ends on September 6th, emerges as space for resistance, democratic imagination
07:22and community building, in a context of increasing inequalities, political crises and hate speeches
07:27around the world.
07:29The Cultural Center for Spain in Buenos Aires is the venue where various thinkers, artists,
07:34officials and cultural activists from all over Latin America and Spain meet, offering
07:39open days to the public, both face-to-face and virtual, around the building of international
07:45bridges throughout culture.
07:47And now we have a short break coming up, but first remember you can join us on TikTok at
07:51Telesur English, where you will find news in different formats, news updates and more.
07:55We'll be right back, stay with us!
08:04Welcome back to From the South.
08:11U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that the 2026 G20 summit will be held in Miami, marking
08:17the first time in nearly two decades that the country will host the gathering.
08:21The head of state said the agenda would focus on unleashing economic prosperity by unlocking
08:27affordable energy and pioneering new technologies.
08:30U.S. President confirmed that the summit will take place at his Trump national outdoor golf course.
08:36The announcement drew comparisons to 2019, when Trump's earlier proposal to host the G7 at
08:42the same venue drew criticism over conflicts of interest, before the idea was abandoned.
08:48The summit will coincide with celebrations marking the 250th year since the beginning of the
08:53Declaration of Independence in 1776.
08:57Also in the United States, President Donald Trump signed an executive order authorizing
09:01the change of name from Department of Defense to Department of War.
09:06The executive order will establish the new name as a secondary title for the Department
09:10of Defense, because according to the country's constitution, it is the Congress and not the
09:15president that has the authority to establish and modify executive departments.
09:20The War Department existed from 1789 to 1947, when it was rebranded as the Department of Defense
09:27as part of a series of reforms after World War II that aimed to emphasize defense over warfare.
09:33Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump argued that the controversial new name projects strength
09:39and sends a message of victory.
09:43Also in the U.S., at least 475 workers from the Hyundai plant were detained by a raid by Immigration
09:50and Customs Enforcement, ICE, as part of the Trump administration's anti-immigration policy.
09:56Most of the detainees are citizens of South Korea, whose government requested the U.S. authorities
10:02to respect their rights.
10:04In this regard, the Department of Homeland Security alleged that the operation was conducted with a search
10:08warrant for alleged illegal labor practices and other serious federal crimes.
10:14The individuals were confined in an ICE immigration center in Folkestone, Georgia, pending the agency's
10:21determination for them.
10:23U.S. President Donald Trump's anti-immigrant policy resulted in 14 migrants dead in Immigration and Customs
10:31Enforcement's ICE custody in his first year in office.
10:36According to official data, since 2019, 69 immigrants died in ICE detention centers.
10:42Currently, over 200 detention centers in the United States house 61,000 migrants, nearly
10:49double the 37,000 recorded at the start of Trump's second term.
10:53Seventy percent of detainees are unsentenced, and many face charges for minor offenses, such
10:59as traffic violations.
11:01Reports describe overcrowding, lack of access to food, water, and adequate medical care in
11:06detention centers.
11:08Despite ICE statements reassuring safe, secure, and humane environments, the migrants' deaths
11:14reflect serious flaws in the detention system.
11:18In China, over 500 representatives from 110 countries of the Global South inaugurated a
11:26forum focused on a strengthening alliance in the face of a scenario marked by disinformation
11:31and fake news.
11:33The event also marks the formal launch of the Network of Joint Communication Associations of
11:38the Global South, which brings together more than a thousand media, think tanks, and other
11:44institutions from 95 nations and regions.
11:47The forum of media and think tanks of the Global South becomes a platform to articulate
11:54the voices of the South in an international scenario marked by inequality and the concentration
11:59of power in the big media centers.
12:10In other news, the World Health Organization Director General, Tedros Adhanom, declared
12:14Saturday that the M-pox infection, formerly known as monkeypox, no longer represents
12:20a global public health emergency, following a sustained decrease in cases in the Democratic
12:25Republic of Congo.
12:26We have a better understanding of the drivers of transmission, the risk factors for severity,
12:34and the most affected countries have developed a sustained response capacity.
12:40Of course, lifting the emergency declaration does not mean the threat is over, nor that
12:46our response will stop.
12:48The possibility of continued flare-ups and new outbreaks remains, requiring adequate surveillance
12:54and response capacity.
12:57Ongoing efforts are needed to protect the most vulnerable groups, particularly young children
13:04and people living with HIV.

13:53Welcome back.
13:54After completing 700 days of the Israeli genocide against the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian authorities
13:59have counted more than 64,300 civilians killed and at least 162,005 injured.
14:08The health authorities confirmed that the deaths of at least 70 civilians have made the bombings
14:12by deoccupying troops during the last 24 hours, as well as three new deaths due to severe malnutrition.
14:19The emergency services denounced the impossibility of the rescue teams to recover bodies and
14:23care for victims trapped under the debris, and the constant attacks by the occupation army
14:28against ambulances and civil defense teams.
14:31The Israeli genocidal offensive continues its course, despite calls to an immediate and permanent
14:38ceasefire.
14:39Meanwhile, the government of Egypt condemned recent statements made by Israeli Prime Minister
14:50Benjamin Netanyahu about his desire to displace the Palestinians from their lands through the
14:55Rafah crossing.
14:56Through its foreign minister, Egypt emphasized that Israel claims to represent a flagrant violation
15:02to international law that amounts to the crime of ethnic cleansing and call on the international
15:08community to activate the mechanisms of accountability for these publicly declared crimes.
15:13It also emphasized that the country will not be complicit in the liquidation of the Palestinian
15:17cause or become a gateway for displacement and call for a ceasefire in Gaza, a full Israeli
15:24withdrawn and international support for the return of the Palestinian authorities to the territory,
15:29including control of the border crossings.
15:37After the Egyptian condemnation, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that
15:42Egypt has preferences in what he called an imprisonment of the enclave's residents, assuring
15:47that the Palestinian population wishes to leave their territories.
15:51It is important to mention that the Zionist regime, since 1948, maintains positions to illegally
15:56control the Palestinian population and territories.
15:59Let us remember that Netanyahu is accused of war crimes by the International Criminal Court
16:05after multiple laws of file, among them the one of South Africa against him for the crime
16:11of genocide.
16:21The development of renewable energy in Cuba has come to state as a permanent, affordable
16:35and viable solution to the Caribbean islands' energy problems.
16:39That is the challenge taken by SIDMIC, a non-agricultural cooperative which has bet on using the sun to provide
16:45concrete answers to the country's energy needs.
16:48From Havana, our correspondent Belen de los Santos with the story in the fifth and last episode of The Q&Way.
16:55...show that something is changing.
16:58Faced with the challenge of the country's energy situation, a group of 23 workers decided to use their
17:04technical knowledge to find a solution in the use of renewable energies.
17:08This is the work of SIDMIC, the non-agricultural cooperative that seeks to provide a concrete answer
17:15by utilizing one of the island's most valuable resources, the sun.
17:21The cooperative submitted the initial paperwork.
17:23There was already a group of members who were committed to renewable energy, who were certain that it was the future
17:28of the country and that the country had to get involved in the use of all these forms of energy.
17:33In the case of solar radiation, it is widespread throughout the world.
17:38Countries such as Spain, Germany, China and the United States have highly developed it.
17:43However, they do not have the radiation regime that our country has, which is very favorable.
17:48It would be difficult for anyone to put a blockade on the sun, and simply with high-quality technology
17:53that we can import, with high standards, we could work precisely on that sustainability
17:58in replacing the fossil fuels, which is so necessary for the country.
18:04On top of working with private initiatives and government agencies, the cooperative seeks to collaborate
18:09with public institutions to bring this technology to different corners of the country.
18:15In Trio Park, in the heart of Havana, this dream has become a reality.
18:20It's a pilot project designed with the national company, Geisel.
18:27It all begins with a solar panel, which captures the radiation and sends it to a battery inside the lamp.
18:35It has an automated program that turns on as night falls and turns off as dawn breaks.
18:42And it has really had a huge impact.
18:45Neighbors have told us, repeatedly, that it has been the meeting place in the midst of the blackout,
18:51where everyone, children and elderly people have found a beacon of light.
18:55We believe that any project related to renewable energy sources, which is focused on replacing fossil fuels,
19:03but also on sustainability, should not be undertaken without a community base.
19:08That is the daily work of the cooperative, trying to find solutions that have a positive impact on our society.
19:14The decision to form a cooperative is one of the keys to SITMIC's success.
19:18Teamwork and horizontal dialogue in search of solutions.
19:23We discuss every project, every solution, every proposal.
19:30And we always try to improve it with the opinion of the group.
19:34And that is how we move forward.
19:36From a social and humane perspective, the work of the cooperative is very fulfilling,
19:43and we are very satisfied to be working in this way.
19:47Like this, SITMIC continues its day-to-day efforts to make sure that Cuba,
19:52with its optimal climatic conditions and available technical knowledge,
19:56finds in this technology a key to its sustainable energy development.
19:59We are a Cuban enterprise. We are small, but we are a Cuban enterprise.
20:07We are in Cuba. We know about the daily situation that the people, industries, government,
20:13how all of us are suffering due to the blockade, its financial limitations, all these things.
20:19When you share that feeling and that daily experience, you are motivated to be part of the solution.
20:25The country is currently committed to renewable energy.
20:32I want to do our part, as a cooperative, in finding the most efficient way to bring renewable energy sources
20:38to the development of our country, to the sustainable development of our country.
20:44Belen de los Santos, Denise Araví, for Chalazur, from Havana, Cuba.
