00:00The government of Venezuela denounced a siege by the United States Navy against a fishing

00:13vessel in waters belonging to the country's exclusive economic zone. In Mexico the death toll

00:21from the liquefied petroleum gas explosion that occurred east of the capital has risen to 13.

00:27In Palestine an investigation by the Dutch newspaper the false grant has

00:35revealed that children have been deliberately targeted by the Israeli forces.

00:39Hello and welcome to From the South from the headquarters of Tresur English in Havana,

00:49Cuba. My name is Pablo Micheliche. We begin with the news. The government of Venezuela denounced a

00:54siege by the United States Navy against a fishing vessel that was northwest of La Blanquilla in waters

01:00belonging to the country's exclusive economic zone. The Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Hill

01:06condemned the military intimidation carried out this Friday against nine fishermen who

01:11were navigating in Venezuelan waters. The United States Navy destroyer equipped with war missiles

01:17and manned by highly trained Marines put at risk the life of workers in the fishing sector who were

01:24engaged in economic activities. The diplomat demanded on behalf of the national government the cessation

01:31of hostilities by warlike groups that seek to end the country's democracy and sovereignty and peace.

01:37In this context Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez condemned the actions of the United States in the

01:49Caribbean and emphasized the readiness of the armed forces to defend national sovereignty.

01:54You know that with all this deployment in the Caribbean they are trying to provoke a reaction from us.

02:04They are looking for an incident that will escalate the military conflict. We are vigilant. We know what is

02:10happening. We know about their deployment in the Caribbean Sea. We know all their intentions but we

02:17are calm on permanent vigil without falling for provocations. We are not going to fall into the trap of

02:24provocations so don't be confused either. We know what to do at the right moment and under the

02:30instructions of the President of the Republic and Head of the Armed Forces.

02:36The Vice President Alcir Rodriguez affirmed that the Venezuelan people have heard the President

02:42Nicolas Maduros called to visit military barracks to receive training in defending national sovereignty.

02:47The people are going to the barracks. What do the people do when they go to the barracks? First, they give

02:56our soldiers, our Bolivarian National Armed Forces, a hug. Second, they are preparing themselves in

03:03theoretical training for the defense of the country. They are preparing themselves in practical shooting

03:08training. We have just come from the shooting range, where thousands and thousands of people have

03:13gathered at the barracks in response to the President's call for enlistment in this process.

03:17We have to prepare ourselves to defend peace and Venezuela, the Venezuela that marches, that absolutely

03:23nothing can stop and no one can defeat our people, who in the face of aggression, in the face of threats,

03:29in the face of criminal economic blockades, the Venezuelan people respond.

03:33In this sense, in the state of La Guayra, men, women and young people began military training as part of

03:41Operation Independence 200 to strengthen the nation's integral defense. Our colleague,

03:47Michelle Ramirez, gives us the details.

03:48Civilian citizens came to the Marine Infantry facilities in the state of La Guaya to start the military training session.

03:57Daniela Segura, mother of three children and housewife, responded to the call to defend her country,

04:13her people, and her territory. I am here responding to the call of our President to fight for the

04:18sovereignty and freedom of our homeland and our country, for our children, for our grandparents,

04:23for our families, for all the Venezuelan people. Liliana Rivas promised to protect her country with

04:30her own life if necessary. I am the mother of three children, I am married, my husband is a retired

04:38military man, and well, today we are here because we are ready to defend our country. That free and

04:44sovereign independence that our Liberator Simon Bolivar left us, but also our Eternal Commander Chavez,

04:49and now President Maduro, we are going to defend it if possible with our lives.

04:56Under a brilliant sun, they learn defense techniques and tactics. They express their desire to contribute

05:02and participate in the protection of Venezuelan soil. I am a family man. I belong to a commune,

05:08and have always worked. Since Commander Chavez took office, I have given everything for my country,

05:14and here I am, continuing to give everything, until, well, until God decides otherwise.

05:21Faced with the need to defend their homeland, they joined up, they enlisted, and that is partly the

05:26reason and partly the explanation for why we are here today. The people of La Guerra are here today.

05:31And wait for more, this is just the tip of the iceberg of what La Guerra is in the defense of the

05:35homeland. With this display of civilian police and military unity and cooperation, Venezuelans

05:41demonstrated not only their strength, but also their commitment to defending their nation. And in

05:46response to the announcement of the next training sessions, they assured that they were ready and

05:50prepared. And now we have a short break coming up, but first remember you can join us on TikTok at

06:02Telesur English, where you will find news in different formats, news, updates, and much more. We will be right back,

06:08stay with us.

06:17Welcome back. In Mexico, the death toll from the liquefied petroleum gas explosion that occurred east of the

06:23capital has risen to 13. The explosion left dozens of people with severe second and third degree burns who

06:30were hospitalized. Authorities detailed that the driver of the tanker truck transporting 50,000

06:36liters of liquefied petroleum gas lost control of the vehicle, which overturned, spilled fuel,

06:42exploded, and caused a large fire. The incident generated a blast wave between 500 and 700 meters,

06:49affecting dozens of cargo vehicles, public transport, private cars, and a residential area.

06:54The Ecuadorian executive began implementing the neoliberal package recommended by the International

07:04Monetary Fund. With the elimination of the diesel subsidy, various sectors of national life condemned

07:10President Daniel Novoa's adjustment. Social, union, indigenous, and political organizations in the

07:16country reject the executive decisions and assert that President Novoa has preferred to prioritize compliance

07:23with the IMF over listening to their people. The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities stated that the

07:30government is pushing popular patients to the limits. This adjustment comes one year after the

07:36removal of subsidies for extra and eco-pais gasoline. The anticipated impact on transportation prices and

07:44the increase in basic basket products is expected to be significant.

07:48Now in Peru. Thousands of people took to the streets of Lima, Piura, Trujillo, and Puno to reject the

07:58new pension law and express their concern about their growing citizen insecurity. In the capital,

08:04protesters gathered at Plaza San Martin and marched toward Congress, but the police blocked their path with

08:10tear gas and motorized officers. Clashes and several arrests were reported. Among their main demands,

08:17the protesters called for a partial return of their contributions to private pension funds and rejected

08:23the requirement to include all citizens over 18 in the pension system, even informal workers who make up

08:31the majority of the country's workforce. The march was led mainly by young people, who also used the

08:38protests to express their dissatisfaction with insecurity and the government's management.

08:54The Golden Panda Awards ceremony was held on Saturday in Chengdu, south-west China Sichuan province, with

09:08achievements in the fields of film, television, documentary and animation in 27 categories.

09:14The event organized by the Chinese Federation of Literary and Artistic Circus and the government of Sichuan province is an

09:22international cultural award aimed at promoting humanistic exchanges and fostering dialogue through

09:28film and television productions with the giant panda as a cultural symbol. The Golden Panda Awards selects

09:35work that stimulate the resonance of emotions and relies on renowned figures with global influence to form

09:42an international and professional jury. The chairman of the jury, Shane Kaiger, emphasized that the festival

09:49seeks to create a bridge between nations around the world through film and to promote cultural coexistence

09:55as the highest form of art.

10:03In Honduras, Copán is one of the most significant archaeological sites of Maya civilization.

10:09The site is located in a mountainous landscape in the west. Let's see more details.

10:13Copán is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the Maya civilization. This site is located

10:29in a mountainous landscape in western Honduras, near the border with Guatemala. Its impressive architectural

10:35structures, sculptures and steels dating from the classical Maya period reflect the three main stages of its

10:42development, before the city was abandoned, in the early 9th century after the common era,

10:48a principios del siglo 9, después de la era común.

10:54Copán fue una de las ciudades más influyentes in la región. Copán was one of the most influential cities

11:00in the Maya region, acting as an important political, religious and cultural center. One of its most

11:06natural features is the famous Acropolis, which houses a series of ceremonial complices and monumental

11:13buildings. The stales and the altars that decorate the site are especially notable for their intricate

11:20reliefs, which depict Mayan rulers and mythological and ritual scenes. In addition to its architecture,

11:27Copán is renowned for its achievement in Mayan art and writing.

11:31Archaeologists have discovered hydroponic inscriptions that offer valuable information

11:36about the political and social history of the region. These texts are essential for understanding

11:41the genealogy of the Mayan rulers and their relationships with other city-states.

11:45Over the centuries, Copán experienced ups and downs, and although it was abandoned in the 9th

11:58century, its legacy lives on. Today, the site attracts dozens of visitors each year, which come to

12:05appreciate its impressive cultural heritage and learn about the rich history of the Maya civilization.

12:09In 1980, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in recognition to its cultural and historical

12:16value. The conservation and protection of Copán are fundamental not only to safeguard its historical

12:23value, but also to promote sustainable tourism in the region. Archaeological efforts continue,

12:28revealing new findings that enrich our understanding of this fascinating pre-Colombian culture.

13:16Welcome back. In Palestine, an investigation by the Dutch newspaper The Force Cranked has revealed that

13:23children have been deliberately targeted by the Israeli forces. Foreign doctors working in the region

13:29describe a shielding pattern where children have been targeted with single gunshot wounds to the head

13:35or chest. In this regard, 15 doctors interviewed said they treated 114 children aged 15 and under with

13:43these wounds, and most did not survive. The ICE witnesses claim the bullets came from Israeli snipers or drones.

13:52On the other hand, Mark de Cruyff, a former Dutch army commander, stated that given the consistency

13:58and scale of these injuries, accidental hits are nearly impossible.

14:07Israeli citizens mobilized in Tel Aviv to demand Netanyahu to reach an agreement with Hamas

14:12regarding the detainees and put an end to Israeli violence in Gaza. The demonstrations led by the

14:18relatives of the detainees and former detainees represent one of the most significant challenges

14:23for the Israeli government since their hostilities in Gaza began almost two years ago. The day of protest is

14:30part of a growing global movement where anti-Sionist organizations from various countries have recently

14:36released a statement calling for an end to the occupation and condemning the use of prolonging the

14:42conflict to silence criticism of Israel. Meanwhile, around 150 Italian activists, journalists and

14:53parliamentarians set sail from Italy on Saturday to join the Sumo Flottilla. The vessels will depart from

15:00the ports of Augusta and Syracuse to join the main body of the humanitarian Flottilla. The incorporation

15:06comes after an appeal by Italy to the Israeli regime to respect the right of the nations of the world to

15:13send humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave and the condemnation of the attack perpetrated with

15:19tactical attack drones on the familiar ship of the Flottilla. A growing number of universities and

15:29scholarly associations around the world are scooting ties with Israeli academia, citing complicity in the

15:36the government's genocide on Gaza. Institutions in Brazil, Norway, Belgium and Spain have already

15:42suspended collaborations, while Trinity College Dublin and the University of Amsterdam have recently

15:48followed suit. In this context, the European Association of Social Anthropologists also announced

15:54it will not work with Israeli academic institutions and urged its members to do the same. Advocates of the

16:01academic boycott argued that Israeli universities maintain close ties with the state and military.

16:07In this regard, Stephanie Adam of the Palestinian campaign for the academic and cultural boycott of

16:13Israel says that Israeli academia is complicit in decades long military occupation, settler colonial

16:20upper hate and now genocide, adding that universities worldwide have a moral obligation to act.

16:32We move on to other topics. In the United Kingdom, I'll leave 25 right-wing militants were

16:36detained by authorities while demonstrating to legitimize extremism under the pretext of freedom

16:43of expression. Protesters shouted slogans against Prime Minister Kyle Starmer. In response, security

16:49forces warned of strong police action in the coming days if the protesters continue their calls. It is

16:56important to note that right-wing forces in the United Kingdom carried out hate and racist speeches

17:03against minorities. Likewise, at least 26 police officers have been injured following clashes with protesters.

17:15Russian forces successfully intersected 340 Ukrainian drones and three High Marrokes in the past 24 hours.

17:31They also secured the settlement of Novo Nikolaevka in the Dipropetrovsk region while maintaining pressure on

17:39Ukrainian command post, foreign legions units and drone storage sites. The situation in Kupiansk and

17:45surrounding areas remains under Ukrainian control, including the strategically important pipeline exit

17:51point used by Russian forces. In a separate operation, Ukrainian drones struck a noyed refinery in Ufa,

17:58Bashkortostan, causing a fire that damaged some production equipment. Local authorities confirmed the fire was

18:05extinguished quickly and operations at the refinery continue without interruption with no casualties reported.

18:17In this context, despite Moscow's interest and willingness to reach a peace agreement with Kyiv,

18:22Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskyy, under the direction of European leaders and the so-called

18:27Coalition of the Willing, continues to place obstacles in the way of a meeting with Ukrainian representatives.

18:33The political elites in Kyiv are deliberately obstructing peace negotiations. For the Ukrainian regime,

18:45peace is a threat to its power. Without the war, the massive flow of foreign financial aid,

18:50estimated at around 50 billion dollars by 2025, would end.

18:54Recently, this Sunday, Zelenskyy declared that Ukraine had already won, because Putin had not

19:04yet taken all of Ukraine. This means that the Ukrainian government, is no longer repeating its

19:09claims about restoring the 1991 border and going to have coffee in Crimea. This means that the Ukrainian

19:17government is capable of blending in. But their tradition of promising victory to their voters every day,

19:23and showing that the West is with them, and that they are winning is more alive than ever.

19:32International aid is conditional and linked to the political loyalty of the current Ukrainian

19:36government. Therefore, a possible change to an independent government could result in the immediate

19:41withdrawal of financial support, and the demand for payment of accumulated debts, leading the country

19:47to inevitable bankruptcy. What is Kyiv doing today to sabotage the peace process? First,

19:55they continue to bomb the friendship oil pipeline which runs from the Russian Federation through

19:59Ukrainian territory to Europe. Second, this week's bombings, the drawn attacks on Polish territory,

20:06were certainly a provocation under the direction of the British secret services, but in any case from

20:11Ukrainian territory. These two actions show that Ukraine does not want to continue the process of

20:16establishing peace, but on the contrary, is escalating the conflict. At the same time,

20:22Kyiv is seeking to force Russia to definitively abandon the negotiating table, through a systematic

20:27campaign of targeted attacks against the civilian population, and non-military infrastructure within

20:33Russian territory. The world that Zelensky and his entourage see is, of course, not possible,

20:40not only because of what Russia wants or doesn't want, but because even the European community now

20:44understands that it is impossible. I believe that they will delay, all kinds of peace negotiations.

20:50They want to obtain the maximum possible from certain preferences for themselves,

20:53understanding perfectly well that under these conditions they are already playing as losers.

20:57Ukraine has thus become a complex web of financial dependency, internal political calculation,

21:07illusions fueled from abroad, and a warmongering narrative that limits any diplomatic solution.

21:14Kiev, clinging to power under the promises of Western support,

21:20prefers to prolong a war that has only led its country to demographic and economic catastrophe.

21:28And with that story, we have come to the end of this news brief. But remember,
