00:53Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:58We begin with the news. Stay with us.
01:11In Venezuela, on Thursday morning, President Nicolás Maduro began the deployment of the
01:16Independence 200 plan in defense of sovereignty under the slogan active resistance and permanent
01:22offensive. Surrounded by the military high command, President Maduro highlighted the popular
01:28military unity in the deployment of the operation, which will include surprise national mobilization
01:34exercises on the 284 fronts of action and battle to safeguard and defend Venezuela from any international
01:44interference and aggression in the face of recent threats from the United States that undermine the
01:50stability and peace of the Venezuelan people.
01:59We have established a control point in this Independence 200 operation with three
02:04fundamental guidelines. The comprehensive defense of the homeland in perfect union between the people,
02:09the military and the police. Active resistance, not passive resistance, but active, creative resistance,
02:22establishing positions, protecting the people. The people save the people. The people protect the people,
02:29the armed people. The people protect the people, the armed people.
02:35The head of state confirmed that during this national defense operation,
02:39284 action fronts have been established throughout the country.
02:43There are 284 simultaneous fronts of action. Out of thousands that are planned with a permanent
02:53operation that has been strengthening the capacity to exercise sovereignty in our land, in our rivers,
03:00our seas, our skies, to exercise sovereignty.
03:06For her part, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez reiterated the commitment of the Venezuelan authorities to defend the nation.
03:15To the vassal governments, the United States Department of War, the government of Trinidad and Tobago,
03:23the government of Guayana, take it easy. Don't you dare and don't even think about it.
03:28You are lending yourselves to the perverse plans of aggression against the people of Bolivar,
03:32but also presidents are lending themselves to destabilizing the entire Caribbean and this continent.
03:41Regarding the deployment of the territorial maritime and air defense plan in Venezuela,
03:46the Minister of Interior, Justice Ampicio Sala Cabello emphasized that the people are fighting to deserve their independence.
03:53We know who the historical enemy of the people is. The historical enemy fears popular mobilization.
04:04It knows that here in Venezuela, or should know by now, that anything it does will not be a one-day affair.
04:12It will cost them a lot of blood. It will cost them a lot of sacrifice. And in the end, thanks to the dignity,
04:19thanks to the morale of our people, and to a struggle that has all the characteristics of justice,
04:25we are not fighting against an enemy that we want to conquer. We are fighting to preserve our
04:31independence and our sovereignty, which there are those who believe they can take away.
04:41In other informations, in Argentina, the President Javier Millet sent to Congress de Vero to the
04:46University Financing Law a measure that generated an immediate rejection on the call for a national
04:52strike of universities for September 12. The executive argues that the University Financing Law addresses
04:59resources in a generic way without detailing necessary credit amounts or indicating how spend the
05:05shares would be met if resources were limited. However, the university community emphasizes that this
05:11justification ignores the current university crisis and insisted on the need to approve the
05:17University Financing Law a responsible instrument does not compromise the state fiscally. As an
05:24immediate response to the veto, the country's educators' organizations announced a march for September 12.
05:33Meanwhile, in Buenos Aires, workers at the Garrahan Children's Hospital belonging to the
05:38Association of the Association of Professionals and Technicians called a 24-hour strike in protest against
05:44the presidential veto of the Pediatric Emergency Law. The Association announced that the strike will
05:50begin this Friday, September 12, and will include the suspension of all activities at the Garrahan Hospital
05:56except for the inpatient and emergency areas. In addition, this Thursday the union will hold a meeting to agree on the
06:05steps to be taken and proposed for next Monday's the holding of a press conference by all sectors that
06:11support the costs of Garrahan, public health and also the university.
06:19We go to Brazil now, where the second day of the session in the Supreme Federal Court for the final
06:24verdict in the trial against former President Jair Bolsonaro for the January 2023 coup attempt ended
06:31with a favorable vote for him. On Wednesday, Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Luis Fux called for
06:38the annulment of the case against former Right President Jair Bolsonaro and his accomplices stating a
06:44lack of jurisdiction of the court. On Tuesday, Justices Alexandre de Moraes and Flavio Dino were the first
06:51of the five magistrates to vote to convict Bolsonaro. The two remaining justices are expected to cast their vote on
06:59Thursday and give a final verdict on the case. If he receives one more vote to be convicted,
07:05Bolsonaro could face up to 43 years in prison.
07:14Now we go to Cuba. On Thursday morning, the Cuban Ministry of Energy and Mines reported the recovery
07:19of the national power grid continues progressing after it suffered an unexpected disconnection on
07:26Wednesday. In this regard, the national energy company specified that the continuous work of the
07:32specialist had managed to provide power to 74 affected circuits in the capital, Havana, restoring the
07:38service to over 650,000 users representing 79.4% of the city's power grid. At a national level, over 1,000
07:49megawatts have been generated as the world continues to connect the west and center microsystems with the eastern, aiming to fully restore the service nationwide. The Minister of Energy and Mines of the nation,

08:21TeleStoryEnglish, where you'll find news in different formats, news updates and more. We'll be right back. Stay with us.
08:43Welcome back to From the South. Let's go now to the U.S., where details leaked of secret
08:49pact between U.S. President Donald Trump and El Salvador President Egypt Bukele to deport migrants from
08:55the United States to El Salvador were released. According to the document, the Trump administration disbursed
09:01through the State Department a total of $4,760,000 so that Bukele would agree to the transfer of migrants.
09:09The deportees accused of belonging to the extinct Arawa train were sent to the maximum security
09:16anti-terrorist prison, the confinement center for terrorism. The document prohibits the Bukele
09:21government from using funds for initiatives, programs or organizations that support or defend
09:28the migrant caravans. The U.S. State Department will not assume responsibility for third party claims
09:33related to damages from the agreement. In other news, also in the United States, the $3 billion
09:43growth of President Donald Trump's fortune so far in 2025 explained his policies to encourage
09:49cryptocurrencies. The family business in the industry has boosted the fortune of the Republican
09:55tycoon and his son, Eric Trump, owner of the cryptocurrency mining company, American Bitcoin. Since
10:02his return to the White House in January, Trump has reduced regulatory enforcement and signed legislation
10:08favorable to the use of cryptocurrencies, resulting in record private profits, raising his fortune to
10:15$7.3 billion. While for U.S. citizens, the cost of living is rising, inflation is increasing,
10:23and unemployment rates are soaring for the first time since 2021.
10:32And in France, after the day of protest on Wednesday, the Ministry of the Interior of the
10:38country reported at least 675 arrests nationwide due to clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement.
10:45According to authorities, the people were detained in a procedure that allows confinement for up to 24 hours,
10:52but which may be prolonged upon review of the crimes in which they were involved. The reports also
10:58informed that during the day of protest, the demonstrators carried out road blockades and
11:02destruction of facilities. The anti-government march involved some 200,000 people supported by the
11:09leftist parties and unions in rejection of the economic policies.
11:13And in Nepal, after two days of violent anti-government protests, the army left at curfew as the military
11:25seeks to restore order. In this scenario, the army took control of Kathmandu and patrolled the streets
11:31while representatives of the protesters engaged in dialogue with military officials. Following a virtual
11:36meeting attended by over 300 protest movement participants, the proposals to appoint the popular
11:43former Chief Justice Suchila Kharki as leader of the interim government was upheld. The protest,
11:50which left nearly 30 people dead and over a thousand injured, led to the resignation of Prime Minister Sharma Oli.
11:56On Thursday in the Philippines, hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the Edsa Shrine to reject
12:07corruption in the management of food control flood control projects. The protest took place after a
12:13Senate hearing where construction company owners admitted to bribe at bribing lawmakers and officials to
12:20obtain funds for irregular infrastructure projects for flood control. Protesters denounced what they
12:26called a theft of the people's money and demanded prison for those involved. In this context,
12:32according to the Department of Budget, between 2023 and 2025, the country's economy lost 2 billion
12:38dollars caused by flooding-related corruption. The Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
12:44announced the formation of an investigative commission to clarify corruption in public work projects
12:50aimed at disaster prevention.

13:15held at the Accorda Presidential Palace, in the presence of the foreign ministers of both countries,
13:21the results of the various political and diplomatic consultations were agreed upon. In the course of
13:27the talks, the participants focused on issues related to the advancement of bilateral trade,
13:32collaboration in logistics, also agricultural digitalization and information technology. Both
13:38leaders assured that this new partnership takes relations between Kinshasa and Astana to a new level,
13:44with the intention of establishing an effective collaboration.
14:01Rainfall in Indonesia causes devastation. At least 15 people died in the floods that affected several
14:07provinces of the country. According to the Disaster Mitigation Agency, the overflowing of rivers
14:13swept away nine cities and districts, flooding at at least 112 neighborhoods and causing several
14:21landslides. Constant rain forced the evacuation of hundreds of people, of whom at least 800 are
14:27taking shelter in homes set up in primary schools. This is part of the consequences of the
14:43recurring climate events that have hit the country in recent months.
14:55Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Japan, torrential rains caused flooding and rivers to overflow,
15:00prompting authorities to issue a severe weather warning. In this scenario, the local police reported one
15:07fatality and one injury. Both victims were at a port in the Ota district when stacked containers collapsed.
15:15The rains have also caused rail and air transport services to be interrupted, as the Japan Meteorological
15:21Agency estimated that areas of central Tokyo received more than 100 millimeters of rain. According to the

16:12Welcome back to From the South. In Palestine, the number of people killed by the Israeli regime in the
16:41Gaza Strip exceeds 64,656, while the number of injuries rises to 163,503.
16:51Gazan Health Authorities reported in a statement that in the last 24 hours, 41 civilians have been killed
16:57and 184 injured in recent attacks by the Israeli occupation. The Tel Aviv Air Force deployed dozens of
17:04aircraft against the city of Gaza during the so-called Operation Gideon's Chariots 2, targeting more than 360 objectives.
17:13The Zionist army again warned of a future attack in northern Gaza, forcing residents of this region
17:19to evacuate once more the area immediately.
17:2219 children from Gaza in need of urgent medical care arrived in Jordan on Wednesday, accompanied by 47
17:36family members and accompanying personnel. This is the 11th group of children from Gaza to be transferred to
17:42Jordan for medical treatment as part of the Jordanian Medical Corridor Initiative, which aims to support
17:48the Palestinians. After receiving treatment, these children will return to Gaza with their families,
17:55while Jordan prepares to receive new patients under the initiative, which is implemented in cooperation
18:01with the World Health Organization. It is important to remember that the Zionist regime's blockade of
18:07Gaza has caused hospitals to collapse, making it impossible for these children to receive medical care
18:14through other means.
18:20Also, Israel has delayed negotiations for the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip following the attack in
18:26Doha, the capital of Qatar, against the leaders of the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas.
18:32Both the Palestinian resistance movement and Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdullah Raham al-Tani have condemned the
18:38attack, declaring that Netanyahu has destroyed any hope of negotiations to secure
18:44the release of the hostages. Meanwhile, Qatar is expected to host an emergency Islamic Arab summit on
18:50Sunday and Monday of next week to address the repercussions of the attack on its capital, Doha.
18:57Qatar has also announced that it will take the necessary legal measures in response to the Israeli
19:03attack on its territory.
19:04Precisely, the funeral for the victims of the Israeli attack on Doha was held in the Qatari city on
19:16Thursday. The service that took place in the main state mosque was attended by hundreds of Qataris,
19:22including officials, among them the nation's ruling Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Tani. The bodies of the six
19:30victims of the Zionist strike were carried into the mosque, covered with the Palestinian and Qatari flags.
19:36In this context, the Interior Ministry of Qatar informed that after the funeral, the victims would
19:42be buried in the Mesa-Ymir cemetery.
19:50Thousands of people demonstrated in the streets of Tel Aviv in Israel to protest against Prime Minister
19:56Benjamin Eranyahu planned to escalate aggressions against the Gaza Strip. One day after the Zionist
20:02regime promised to take the city of Gaza and extended the onslaught, thousands of Israelis
20:08mobilized in the capital to call for an end to the Palestinian siege. Demonstrators displayed photos
20:14of these detained by the Palestinian resistance, also demanding their safe return, a request that keeps
20:20being hindered by the genocidal actions of the Israeli government, which keeps escalating aggressions
20:25and halting ceasefire negotiations. And in Yemen, a new series of Israeli airstrikes killed at least 35
20:39people and injured more than 130, according to health ministry officials. Most of the fatalities
20:44were recorded in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital, where the bombings hit a military barracks and a gas station,
20:51according to the official report. Rescue teams are currently continuing to work among the rubble
20:56in the search for more victims and providing also assistance to those affected. These attacks come
21:02just days after Houthi rebels carried out a drone attack on an Israeli airport.
21:11Previously, the Zionist regime's raids also affected the Jebek National Museum.
21:17It was through a statement that the General Authority of Antiquities and Museums of Sanaa requested UNESCO
21:24to intervene urgently to safeguard the country's historical and cultural sites. The organization
21:30recalled the validity of the 1954 Hague Convention, which protects cultural property in the event of
21:37armed conflict and whose application is the responsibility of UNESCO. It also emphasized that Israel's
21:44attacks constitute a criminal violation of Yemen's culture and humanitarian heritage.
