00:34And in Palestine Dutch Volkskran newspaper investigation reveals that Israeli forces deliberately
00:40targeted Palestinian children.
00:47Hello welcome from the south, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from the Lesus Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:52We begin with the news.
01:03The government of Venezuela denounced a siege by the United States Navy against a fishing
01:09vessel that was northwest of La Blanquilla in waters belonging to the country's exclusive
01:14economic zone.
01:16The Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Hill condemned the military intimidation carried out this
01:20Friday against the fishermen who were navigating in Venezuelan waters.
01:23The United States Navy destroyer equipped with war missiles and manned by highly trained marines
01:28put at risk the life of workers in the fishing sector who were engaged in economic activities.
01:33The diplomat demanded on behalf of the national government the decision of facilities by warlike
01:38groups that seek to end the country's democracy, sovereignty and peace.
01:43In this context Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez condemned the actions of the United States
01:51in the Caribbean and emphasized the readiness of the armed forces to defend national sovereignty.
01:56You know that with all this deployment in the Caribbean they are trying to provoke a reaction
02:04from us.
02:06They are looking for an incident that will escalate the military conflict.
02:10We are vigilant.
02:11We know what is happening.
02:12We know about their deployment in the Caribbean Sea.
02:15We know all their intentions.
02:18But we are calm.
02:19On permanent vigil without falling for provocations.
02:23We are not going to fall into the trap of provocations.
02:26So don't be confused.
02:28We know what to do at the right moment and under the instructions of the President of the Republic
02:34and Head of the Armed Forces.
02:35In our news, Vice President Nelson RodrĂguez affirmed that the Venezuelan people have heard
02:44President Nicolas Maury's call to visit military barracks to receive training in defending national
02:49sovereignty.
02:49The people are going to the barracks.
02:54What do the people do when they go to the barracks?
02:56First, they give our soldiers, our Bolivarian National Armed Forces, a hug.
03:02Second, they are preparing themselves in theoretical training for the defense of the country.
03:07They are preparing themselves in practical shooting training.
03:10We have just come from the shooting range, where thousands and thousands of people have
03:14gathered at the barracks in response to the President's call for enlistment in this
03:18process.
03:19We have to prepare ourselves to defend peace, and Venezuela, the Venezuela that marches, that
03:24absolutely nothing can stop and no one can defeat our people, who in the face of aggression,
03:29in the face of threats, in the face of criminal economic blockades, the Venezuelan people respond.
03:38In this sense, in the state of La Guayera, men, women and young people began military training
03:43as part of Operation Independence to 100 to strengthen the nation's integral defense.
03:47Our colleague Michelle Ramirez with the details.
03:51Civilian citizens came to the Marine Infantry facilities in the state of La Guaya to start
03:55the military training session.
04:07Daniela Segura, mother of three children and housewife, responded to the call to defend her
04:11country, her people, and her territory.
04:14I am here responding to the call of our President to fight for the sovereignty and freedom of
04:18our homeland and our country.
04:20For our children, for our grandparents, for our families, for all the Venezuelan people.
04:27Liliana Rivas promised to protect her country with her own life if necessary.
04:33I am the mother of three children, I am married, my husband is a retired military man, and well,
04:39today we are here because we are ready to defend our country.
04:42That free and sovereign independence that our liberator Simon Bolivar left us, but also
04:47our eternal commander Chavez, and now President Maduro, we are going to defend it if possible
04:52with our lives.
04:54Under a brilliant sun, they learn defense techniques and tactics.
04:59They express their desire to contribute and participate in the protection of Venezuelan soil.
05:05I am a family man.
05:06I belong to a commune, and have always worked.
05:09Since Commander Chavez took office, I have given everything for my country, and here I
05:14am, continuing to give everything, until, well, until God decides otherwise.
05:20Faced with the need to defend their homeland, they joined up, they enlisted, and that is partly
05:24the reason and partly the explanation for why we are here today.
05:29And wait for more, this is just the tip of the iceberg of what La Guerra is in the defense
05:34of the homeland.
05:36With this display of civilian police and military unity and cooperation, Venezuelans demonstrated
05:41not only their strength, but also their commitment to defending their nation.
05:45And in response to the announcement of the next training sessions, they assured that they
05:48were ready and prepared.
05:50In the United States, migrants detained at the Alligator Alcatraz Prison reported having
06:03difficulties in communicating with their lawyers and obtaining a fair trial.
06:07Prison service was sued for preventing inmates from speaking to their lawyers while they were
06:11being held.
06:13According to the complaint, the Immigration and Customs Control Service is withholding information
06:16about the migrants so that their legal representatives cannot locate their whereabouts.
06:21Alligator Alcatraz is a printing surgery center that accumulates several claims, among them construction
06:26on a wetland with wild fauna, which violates the health of migrants.
06:31Now for our first break coming up, remember to join us on TikTok at Teleso English, where
06:39you will find news in different formats, news updates, and much more.
06:42Going to be right back.
06:43Stay with us.
07:04Welcome back.
07:05In Mexico, the death toll from the liquefied petroleum gas explosion that occurred east of
07:09the capital has risen to 13.
07:11The explosion left dozens of people with severe second- and third-degree burns who were hospitalized.
07:16Authorities detailed that the driver of the tanker truck transporting 50,000 liters of liquefied
07:21petroleum gas lost control of the vehicle, which overturned spill fuel, exploded, and caused
07:26a large fire.
07:27The incident generated a blast wave between 500 and 700 meters, affecting dozens of cargo vehicles,
07:33public transport, private cars, and a residential area.
07:40The Ecuadorian executive began implementing the neoliberal package recommended by the International
07:46Monetary Fund, with the elimination of the diesel subsidy in various sectors of national life,
07:51condemned President Daniel Topo's adjustment.
07:54Social, union, indigenous, and political organizations in the country reject the executive decision
08:00and assert that President Novo has preferred to prioritize compliance with the IMF over listening
08:05to the people.
08:06The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities stated that the government is pushing popular patients
08:12to the limit.
08:13This adjustment comes one year after removal of subsidies for extra-run ecopais gasoline.
08:18The anticipated impact on transportation prices and the increase in basic basket products
08:23is expected to be significant.
08:32And in Peru, thousands of people took to the streets of Lima, Piura, Trujillo, and Puno to
08:36reject the new pension law and express their concern about the growing citizen insecurity.
08:41In the capital, protesters gathered at Plaza San Martin and marched toward Congress, but the
08:46police blocked their path with tear gas and motorized officers.
08:50Clashes and several arrests were reported.
08:53Among their main demands, the protesters called for a partial return of their contributions to
08:57private pension funds and rejected the requirement to include all citizens over 18 in the pension
09:02system, even informal workers who make up the majority of the country's workforce.
09:07The march was led mainly by young people who also used the protests to express their
09:11dissatisfaction with insecurity and the government's management.
09:20Russian forces successfully intercepted 340 Ukrainian drones and 3 HIMARS rockets in the past 24 hours.
09:36They also secured the settlement of Novinkolayevk in the Dnepropetrovsk region while maintaining pressure
09:43on Ukrainian command posts, foreign legion units, and drone storage sites.
09:48The situation in Kupiansk and surrounding areas remains under Ukrainian control, including the
09:53strategically important pipeline exit point used by Russian forces.
09:57In a separate operation, Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in Ufa, Bashkortostan,
10:02causing a fire that damaged some production equipment.
10:05Co-authorities confirmed the fire was extinguished quickly and operation of the refinery continued without interruption,
10:10with no casualties reported.
10:17And in this context, despite Moscow's interest and willingness to reach a peace agreement with Kiev,
10:21Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the direction of European leaders and the so-called
10:25coalition of the willing continues to place obstacles in the way of a meeting with Kremlin representatives.
10:31The political elites in Kiev are deliberately obstructing peace negotiations.
10:40For the Ukrainian regime, peace is a threat to its power.
10:44Without the war, the massive flow of foreign financial aid, estimated at around 50 billion dollars by 2025, would end.
10:52Recently, this Sunday, Zelenskyy declared that Ukraine had already won, because Putin had not yet taken all of Ukraine.
11:02This means that the Ukrainian government, is no longer repeating its claims about restoring the 1,991 border and going to have coffee in Crimea.
11:11This means that the Ukrainian government is capable of blending in, but their tradition of promising victory to their voters every day and showing that the West is with them and that they are winning is more alive than ever.
11:24International aid is conditional and linked to the political loyalty of the current Ukrainian government.
11:34Therefore, a possible change to an independent government could result in the immediate withdrawal of financial support and the demand for payment of accumulated debts, leading the country to inevitable bankruptcy.
11:48What is Kiev doing today to sabotage the peace process?
11:51First, they continue to bomb the friendship oil pipeline which runs from the Russian Federation through Ukrainian territory to Europe.
11:58Second, this week's bombings, the drawn attacks on Polish territory, were certainly a provocation under the direction of the British secret services, but in any case from Ukrainian territory.
12:09These two actions show that Ukraine does not want to continue the process of establishing peace, but on the contrary, is escalating the conflict.
12:17At the same time, Kiev is seeking to force Russia to definitively abandon the negotiating table through a systematic campaign of targeted attacks against the civilian population and non-military infrastructure within Russian territory.
12:32The world that Zelensky and his entourage see is, of course, not possible, not only because of what Russia wants or doesn't want, but because even the European community now understands that it is impossible.
12:42I believe that they will delay all kinds of peace negotiations.
12:46They want to obtain the maximum possible from certain preferences for themselves, understanding perfectly well that under these conditions they are already playing as losers.
12:55Ukraine has thus become a complex web of financial dependency, internal political calculation, illusions fueled from abroad, and a warmongering narrative that limits any diplomatic solution.
13:10Kiev, clinging to power under the promises of Western support, prefers to prolong a war that has only led its country to demographic and economic catastrophe.

13:36A final break from Galway.
13:57In Palestine, an investigation by the Dutch newspaper Devok Strand has revealed that children have been deliberately targeted by Israeli forces,
14:04foreign doctors working in the region describe a chilling pattern where children have been targeted with single gunshot wounds to the head or chest.
14:12In this regard, 15 doctors intervened and said that they treated 114 children aged 15 and under with these wounds, and most did not survive.
14:23The eyewitnesses claimed that bullets came from Israeli snipers or drones.
14:27On the other hand, Mark de Quiff, a former Dutch Army commander, stated that given the consistency of the scale of these injuries, accidental hits are nearly impossible.
14:36In the medicine crisis in the Gaza Strip, Palestine increased amputations.
14:47Health authorities revealed that date more than 4,700 Palestinians have been amputated as a result of Israeli aggression.
14:54They indicated that Palestinians are not only dying from Israeli attacks, but from wound infections that lead to amputations.
15:01They stressed that the health crisis forces doctors to amputate infected limbs to save lives.
15:06The force of evacuation of thousands of Palestinian citizens increases due to the intensification of the Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip.
15:20Going through reports, more than a quarter of a million people left the city of Gaza following the evacuation communicated by the Zionist regime.
15:29Many families are still trapped for not finding transportation in a safe place.
15:33The United Nations warned that at least 100,000 people have been displaced between August and September 2025.
15:48A growing number of universities and scholarly associations around the world are cutting ties with Israeli academia, citing complicity in the government's genocide on Gaza.
15:57Institutions in Brazil, Norway, Belgium and Spain have already suspended collaborations while Trinity College Dublin and the University of Amsterdam have recently followed suit.
16:07In this context, the European Association of Social Anthropologists also announced it would not work with Israeli academic institutions and urged its members to do the same.
16:16Advocates of the academic boycott argue that Israeli universities maintain close ties with the state and military.
16:22In this regard, Stephanie Adam of the Palestinian campaign for the academic and cultural boycott of Israel says that Israeli academia is complicit in decades-long military occupation,
16:31central colonial apartheid and now genocide, adding that universities worldwide have a moral obligation to act.
16:37In the United Kingdom, at least 25 right-wing militants were taken by authorities while demonstrating to legitimize extremism under the pretext of freedom of expression.
16:54Protesters shouted slogans against Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
16:57In response, security forces warned of strong police action in the coming days if protesters continue their calls.
17:03It is important to note that right-wing forces in the United Kingdom carry out hate and racist speeches against minorities.
17:09Likewise, at least 26 police officers have been following clashes with protesters.
17:33The Golden Panda Awards ceremony was held on Saturday in Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province,
17:41with achievements in the fields of film, television, documentary and animation in 27 categories.
17:45The event, organized by the Chinese Federation of Literary and Artistic Circus and the Government of Sichuan Province,
17:51is an international cultural award aimed at promoting humanistic exchanges and fostering dialogue through film and television productions,
17:57with the giant panda as a cultural symbol.
18:00The Golden Panda Awards selects works that stimulate the resonance of emotions
18:05and relies on renowned figures with global influence to form an international and professional jury.
18:10The chairman of the jury, Chen Kag, emphasized that the festival seeks to create a bridge between nations around the world through film,
18:18and to promote cultural coexistence as the highest form of art.
18:27And in Honduras, Copán is one of the most significant archaeological sites of Maya civilization.
18:32This site is located in a mountainous landscape in the west.
18:35Let's see more details.
18:38This site is located in a mountainous landscape in western Honduras, near the border with Guatemala.
18:57Its impressive architectural structures, sculptures and steels, dating from the classical Maya period, reflect the three main stages of its development.
19:06Before the city was abandoned, in the early 9th century after the common era.
19:11A principios del siglo 9, después de la era común.
19:18Copán fue una de las ciudades más influyentes in la región.
19:21Copán was one of the most influential cities in Maya region, acting as an important political, religious and cultural center.
19:28One of its most notable features is the famous Acropolis, which houses a series of ceremonial complexes and monumental buildings.
19:37The steels and the altars that decorate the site are especially notable for their intricate reliefs, which depict Mayan rulers and mythological and ritual scenes.
19:47In addition to its architecture, Copán is renowned for its achievement in Mayan art and writing.
19:54Archaeologists have discovered hydroponic inscriptions that offer valuable information about the political and social history of the region.
20:01These texts are essential for understanding the genealogy of the Mayan rulers and their relationships with other city-states.
20:08Over the centuries, Copán experienced ups and downs, and although it was abandoned in the 9th century, its legacy lives on.
20:23Today, the site attracts dozens of visitors each year, which come to appreciate its impressive cultural heritage and learn about the rich history of the Maya civilization.
20:34In 1980, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in recognition to its cultural and historical value.
20:41The conservation and protection of Copán are fundamental not only to safeguard its historical value, but also to promote sustainable tourism in the region.
20:49Archaeological efforts continue, revealing new findings that enrich our understanding of this fascinating pre-colombian culture.
