00:46to protest against the Trump administration's military occupation of the U.S. Capitol,
00:51as well as the systematic harassment of immigrants by immigration
00:54and constant enforcement's eyes.
01:01In the Gaza Strip, at least 20,000 children have lost their lives
01:04at the hands of Israel since October 2023.
01:07Hello, welcome to From the South.
01:16I'm Sophie Fernández from the Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba.
01:19We begin with the news.
01:21Argentinian people say goodbye to the grandmother of Plaza de Mayo,
01:24Rosa Tarelovsky-Daroy Simlid, at the age of 106 years old,
01:28with an enormous work and career as a human rights referent in the country and in the world.
01:34Rosa Tarelovsky-Daroy Simlid was one of the founders of grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo,
01:39and central figure in the struggle for the identification of the children,
01:43kidnapped or born in captivity during the last Argentine civil-military dictatorship.
01:48Rosita, as she was also known, was born on August 15, 1990, in Moisés Ville province of Santa Fe.
01:56Her daughter Patricia was one of the 30,000 people kidnapped by the dictatorship that lasted between 1976 and 1982.
02:04While Rosa's daughter was never found, the child she birthed in captivity, Guillermo, was found in 2000.
02:11The grandmother of Plaza de Mayo declared Rosa Ruiz Simlid as its honorary president.
02:23Also in Argentina, the Ministry of Human Capital acknowledged that the audit Millet's government claimed to have carried out
02:29to justify the cessation of food assistance to soup kitchens does not exist.
02:34It occurred after a request for access to public information filed by the National Deputy of Buenos Aires, Natalia Zahrajo, on May 16, 2024.
02:44This request came one day after the head of cabinet, Nicolas Posse,
02:49announced in Congress that nearly 50% of the soup kitchens were non-existent, based on an alleged audit.
02:55The Ministry of Human Capital admitted that the audit turns out to be non-existent.
03:00Claims, based on the alleged audit, served to suspend the supply of provisions to soup kitchens,
03:06leaving millions of kilos of food undistributed, many of them in the verge of expiration.
03:22In other news, in the Dominican Republic demonstrations were halting rejection of U.S. threats to intervene in Venezuela.
03:29On Saturday, several political, social and popular organizations raised their voices in Santo Domingo,
03:35to support the Venezuelan people and reject the new interferences of Washington.
03:39They also accused the Dominican government of acting as a vessel of the United States,
03:44with the deployment of ships near the Venezuelan coast.
03:47Demonstrators reaffirmed their solidarity with Venezuela,
03:50and demanded respect for the sovereignty of Latin America and the Caribbean.
03:57to the world and the international organizations of the United Nations,
04:04and the Security Council and the OAS,
04:08that they make prevail the international law of respect for the self-determination of the peoples,
04:16and the national sovereignty of each one of the nations.
04:20The United States and Europe and no nation,
04:23no matter how powerful it may be,
04:26should interfere in the internal affairs of any country.
04:29Venezuela, like all the nations of the world,
04:32has the right to determine what economic and political system it will build.
04:36And that is a decision of its people, of its nationals.
04:40It is a shame that internationally powerful nations are trying to undermine the sovereignty
04:45and self-determination of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, and other nations of the world.
04:58In this case, the Empire cannot tolerate a sovereign country deciding what to do with its own destiny.
05:03In the case of Venezuela, what we are talking about is the search for illegitimate ways, obviously,
05:10to appropriate the natural resources of Venezuela.
05:16That is why it is a moral duty to condemn the presence of the United States in the Caribbean.
05:23Condemn the military maneuvers in which the Caribbean is involved at this moment,
05:35and tell them that if they want to do something good for humanity,
05:38they should stop the genocide in Gaza,
05:41to solve their internal problems and allow the countries, in this case Venezuela,
05:45to decide their destiny in a sovereign manner.
05:48In Honduras, the left-wing Liberty and Refoundation Party, Libre,
05:56launched a massive rally on Saturday in the municipality of Trojes, in El Paraíso,
06:01to support the party's presidential candidate, Risi Moncada,
06:04for the upcoming November 30th general elections.
06:07During the act, Moncada reiterated her proposal of universal scholarships and job availability for the youth,
06:14as well as her support to education and health programs.
06:18Also, on her post made on the social media X,
06:21she highlighted her support to agricultural producers
06:24and her concern for the budget of the University of Agriculture.
06:28Finally, Moncada thanked the current president Xiomara Castro for her legacy
06:32and pledged to move forward with this Refoundation program,
06:36with the support of the Honduran people.
06:44Meanwhile in Brazil, Independence Day is celebrated on September 7th,
06:49commemorating the moment when the country declares independence
06:52from the Portuguese colonial empire in 1822.
06:55The demonstrations of the special day in Brazil's role on the world stage,
07:00especially through cooperation with the emerging powers of the BRICS group,
07:04are fundamental to the country's national identity and geopolitical influence.
07:09Patriotic Day, as it's also known, is a public holiday in Brazil,
07:14during which the country celebrates its freedom and cultural identity.
07:18In addition to the official ceremonies, cities throughout the country host various cultural events,
07:23concerts, folkloric dances and fireworks, reflecting the diversity and pride of the Brazilian people.
07:30In the context of the commemoration of Independence Day,
07:40Brazilian President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva condemned those he described as traitors to the country on Saturday,
07:47and affirmed that there would be no room for foreign interference during his administration.
07:52The President's message was delivered during official radio and television address on the eve of Independence Day,
07:58in the South American giant.
08:00This speech was a clear rejection of the sanctions imposed by President Donald Trump
08:05against the Supreme Federal Court justices and the ministers of his cabinet,
08:10a retaliatory measure for the criminal trial facing former President Jair Bolsonaro for the 2023 coup conspiracy.
08:18President Lula's speech also targeted Brazilian politicians who encouraged attacks against Brazil,
08:23which he considered unacceptable.
08:25We are not, and will not be, a colony of anyone again.
08:37We are capable of governing and taking care of our land and our people,
08:41without interference from any foreign government.
08:44We maintain friendly relations with all countries, but we do not accept orders from anyone.
08:50It is inadmissible the role of some Brazilian politicians who encourage attacks against Brazil.
08:56They were elected to work for the Brazilian people, but they defend only their personal interests.
09:01They are traitors to the homeland. History will not forgive them.
09:06And now we have a short break coming up.
09:08But first, remember to join us on TikTok at Todos with English,
09:11where you will find news in different formats, news updates and more.
09:14We'll be right back. Stay with us.
09:20Welcome back to From the South.
09:30In the United States, thousands of people gather in Washington, D.C.
09:33to protest against the Trump administration's military occupation of the U.S. Capitol,
09:38as well as the systematic harassment of immigrants orchestrated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE.
09:44Protesters raise their voices against arbitrary arrest, decriminalization of immigration and the authoritarian policies imposed by the government.
09:53They also demand an end to rights, respect for human rights and public policies that guarantee employment and decent housing for the most vulnerable sectors.
10:02It is worth noting that churches are raising their bells in support of the protest that is taking place from Malcolm X Park to Liberty Square.
10:11In August, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the deployment of federal agents and National Guard troops to confront what he described as a criminal wave.
10:19Since then, over 600 arrests have been made, many of them of undocumented people.
10:24Also in the United States, federal immigration authorities and ICE agents carried out another operation in a chocolate factory in northern New York.
10:39State Governor Kathy Schofield announced that among those detained were parents of at least a dozen children, who risked returning home from school to an empty house.
10:49The action, described as frightening by the owner of the company, resulted in the detention of between 50 and 60 workers, most of whom were of Latin origin.
10:58Also in the U.S., Pentagon officials have described the U.S. attack on a boat of the Caribbean waters off the Venezuelan coast as a crime against civilians.
11:17According to the web publication The Intercept, the officials said that the White House paved the way for this operation by dismissing, early this year, the top legal advisors for the Army and the Air Force.
11:27Thus eliminating critical counterweights to enable the direct targeting of civilians.
11:33According to this article, this is part of a pattern where the Pentagon claims to eliminate alleged terrorists while actually killing civilians, as documented in a drone strike in Somalia in 2018.
11:45The article also reveals that the designation of the Arawa train and other criminal groups as terrorists predating this attack created a fictitious little framework for military aggression, evidenced by the renewed military encirclement which includes 4,500 troops, 7 warships and a nuclear-powered submarine to the Caribbean region.
12:07Now we move to Ethiopia, where the second Africa CARICOM summit will be held on Sunday in Addis Ababa, with the aim of strengthening historical, political and economic ties between African countries and the members of the Caribbean community.
12:28Under the slogan Transcontinental Association, in the pursuit of restorative justice for Africans and people of African descent through reparations, the meeting seeks to consolidate a common agenda in the face of shared challenges and to promote South-South cooperation.
12:44The Prime Ministers of Antigua in Barbuda, the Bahamas, St. Byzantines, St. Keats and Nevis, Barbados and Granada are already in the Ethiopian capital to participate in the enclave.
12:58In addition, the Caribbean diaspora in Ethiopia will host a meeting focused on strengthening cultural and political relations between Africa and the Caribbean.
13:07In Vietnam, heavy rainfall has caused severe flooding and the collapse of several houses in Lamdom province.
13:29According to official reports, emergency teams are helping villagers in the Hieptang commune to evacuate risk areas as soon as possible.
13:38The floods have affected one main road and five villages. At least 500 houses have affected.
13:44Some have completed collapse and others present serious structural damage, while the number of flood victims is in the hundreds.
13:52More on torrential rains and flooding. In India, authorities have confirmed the deaths of at least 90 people due to flooding in the areas of Uttar, Ramadhat, Punjab, Yammu, Kashmir and New Delhi.
14:10Also authorities have ordered the evacuation of thousands of citizens who have been transferred to designated safe areas.
14:17And in Afghanistan, search and rescue operations have concluded following the 6.0 earthquake that struck the country on August 31st, leaving 2,200 deaths and 4,000 injured.
14:36Authorities emphasize that this was one of the worst tragedies the country has ever experienced, leaving entire communities destroyed.
14:44Among the most affected regions are Kunar, Knuristan and Lakhman, which are facing a severe humanitarian crisis.
14:51It should be noted that the civil protection team set up camps for displaced families in several locations, and the organized distribution of primary and emergency humanitarian aid continues.

15:51Welcome back.
15:55The number of people who have died of starvation rises to 382 amid the Israeli blockade of
16:01the Gaza Strip since October 2023.
16:04The Gaza Health Department has recorded six deaths from starvation and malnutrition in
16:08the last 24 hours, including one infant.
16:11As a result, the total number of deaths from starvation has reached 382, of which 135 are
16:18children.
16:19At the same time, Israel is preventing thousands of food products from entering the territory,
16:24including vital items such as meat, fish, eggs, fruit and vegetables as well as certain types
16:30of dairy products.
16:32The malnutrition caused by the Israeli blockade of the Balazine coastal enclave currently affects
16:3743,000 children under the age of five and more than 55,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women.
16:49On the other hand, in the Gaza Strip, at least 20,000 children have lost their lives at the
16:55hands of Israel since October 2023.
16:58In this regard, Palestinian authorities warn that on average, one child has been fatally
17:02wounded every hour.
17:04It is also estimated that another 132,000 could die of hunger if the airstrikes, ground operations
17:11and the blockade of humanitarian aid imposed by the Israeli army continue.
17:15It is important to note that the number of injured Palestinian children has reached 42,000,
17:21so that minors compared to adults are seven times more likely to die from injuries caused
17:26by explosions.
17:34Meanwhile in Israel, thousands of people gathered in a hostage square demanding that Benjamin
17:38Netanyahu's regime stop the attack on Gaza and agreed with Hamas resist the movement of
17:43the exchange of prisoners.
17:46Protesters accused the Israeli prime minister of indefinitely prolonging the conflict, and
17:50the captivity of the hostages for political reasons were clinging to power.
17:56Israel's citizens fear that the new military authorities in the Tel Aviv will risk the life
18:00of the detained families' members.
18:02Amid the Zionist aggression that has killed more than 64,000 Palestinian civilians since October
18:077, 2023.
18:17And in Chile, social and political organizations demonstrated in front of La Moneda Palace on
18:22the International Day of Solidarity with Palestine.
18:25The participants demanded that the government end relations with the Zionist state of Israel.
18:30In this regard, lawyer Nelson Haddad is conducting a global campaign to collect nearly 100,000 signatures
18:37on calls for Israel to be expelled from the United Nations.
18:42It is important to note that Chile is home to the largest community of Palestinian descendants
18:46outside the Middle East.
18:54And in the United Kingdom, over 300 people have been arrested during protests in support
18:58of the Palestinian people.
19:00With Palestinian flags and support banners, participants rejected the escalation of Israeli aggression against
19:07the Gaza Strip.
19:08Under strict security measures, the British police arrested the protesters for considering
19:13the protests a violation of the country's anti-terrorism law.
19:17The Saturday's demonstrations are part of a series of actions that have taken place in
19:20several cities around the world against the advance of the Zionist genocide in Gaza.
19:34In other news, in Greece, a crowd of people gathered outside the Parliament building to demand answers
19:38from the government about the Tempi train accident, which occurred in 2023.
19:44The protests took place in Tacoma Square, one week after the investigating just decided
19:49to close the case after two years of investigations.
19:53The accident occurred shortly before midnight of February 28, 2023, when a passenger train collided
19:59with a freight train on the line between Athens and Thessaloniki, claiming the lives of 57 people.
20:15In China, over 500 representatives from 110 countries of the Global South inaugurated a
20:20forum focused on a straining alliance in the face of a scenario marked by disinformation and
20:26fake news.
20:28The Forum of Media and Thinktanks of the Global South also marks the formal launch of the Network
20:33of Joint Communication Associations of the Global South, which brings together more than
20:38a thousand media, think tanks and other institutions from 95 nations and regions.
