00:36An emergency meeting of Arab and Islamic leaders was held in Doha, Qatar, Monday, to address
00:43the deadly attack by the Israeli regime against a delegation of the Palestinian-resistant movement
00:48Hamas in the territory.
00:50In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro on Monday denounced the attacks on the national
01:06territory integrity and stated that an investigation is underway to clarify the alleged attack on
01:11a Venezuelan vessel in Caribbean waters on September 2.
01:16Maduro held a press conference attended by over 47 media outlets and 170 diplomatic representatives
01:21from around the world.
01:23The President emphasized that the media must prioritize an ethical commitment to maintain
01:27the truth, especially at a time when Venezuela is engaged in an intense struggle to preserve
01:32peace and national sovereignty.
01:35In this context, President Nicolás Maduro stated that the Venezuelan people are 21st-century
01:40revolutionaries who find the strength to respond to attacks against independence in their history
01:45and their rebellious roots.
01:49Venezuela is in a huge battle for the truth, for the truth to win peace, to preserve peace.
02:02What have we done this week?
02:04You saw it.
02:05Five weeks ago Venezuela was threatened with missile-carrying ships, nuclear submarines to bomb, invade and
02:13occupy the country.
02:16Five weeks ago, Nicolás Maduro Moros, constitutional president of Venezuela, and revolutionary leader
02:24in our America, this very man, young man, that you saw there in the high school where he began
02:31his journey exactly 50 years ago, was threatened along with several of our comrades.
02:40It's a judicial aggression when they criminalize us.
02:44It's a political aggression with their daily threatening statements.
02:49It's a diplomatic aggression.
02:52And it's a military aggression in the process.
02:58Venezuela is authorized by international law to respond to this aggression in every way.
03:07In response to accusations by the international prince he's created tensions by calling on
03:12the people to undergo military training in the barracks, the Venezuelan president Nicolás
03:17Maduro said that Venezuela is exercising his legitimate right to prepare for defense.
03:23Venezuela exercises its legitimate right under international law and the constitution to prepare for the
03:31defense of peace.
03:34We exercise the legitimate right to defense.
03:39Also in Venezuela, Venezuela's National Bolivarian Armed Forces seized Monday 3,680 kilos of cocaine
03:47that had left from a port in La Guajira, Colombia.
03:51The announcement was made during a press conference by the Secretary General of the United Socialist
03:55Party of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, who also informed that the successful operation was carried
04:00out after receiving intelligence information about the illegal shipment and 20 hours of maritime
04:05patrol.
04:07The political leader also revealed that during the operation, four people were arrested.
04:11Cabello also accused the government of the United States for trying to use the excuse of drug trafficking
04:16to carry out a military attack against Venezuela.
04:19They know that Venezuela is one of the countries where the fight against drug trafficking is on
04:36all fronts.
04:37Today, at this moment, at dawn, we captured 3,600 kilos of cocaine.
04:47We took it away from the cartels.
04:50It came from the Colombian Guajira and our patrol boats and patrols.
04:59We got the information.
05:01We sent out patrols.
05:03I am going to tell you the exact amount they weighed.
05:103,680 kilos of cocaine.
05:133,680 for arrested.
05:20We did not bomb the ship.
05:21We did not bomb the ship.
05:22We did not kill anyone.
05:25But we captured the drugs and we captured those responsible.
05:29It makes a big difference.
05:31He who has eyes, let him see.
05:34And he who has ears, let him hear.
05:37In this sense, a community in Quiche, Guatemala, expressed its solidarity with Venezuela on Monday amid the commemorations of the 204th anniversary of Guatemala's independence.
05:47After the commemorative event, the community residents claimed the release of imprisoned civilians and expressed their support for all nations facing imperialist aggression.
05:56They also stressed that freedom is a constant and global struggle.
06:00The rally was surrounded by a wide deployment of the national police and agents of different law enforcement units to ensure the normal development of the activities.
06:14Meanwhile, in El Salvador, social sectors took to the streets on the 204th anniversary of the Central American independence, turning the commemorative into a day of struggle to demand their rights.
06:25During a mobilization called the Resistant March, organized by civil society, hundreds of subvalorian citizens demanded the restoration of their rights.
06:33Among the demonstrators were members of the movement of dismissed workers, who denounced the dismissal of thousands of employees under irregular circumstances and the arbitrary attention of people for opposing the executive's neoliberal policies.
06:47Their leaders emphasized that true independence is still lacking in the country, and called for the release of hundreds of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience.
07:01And now we have a short break coming, but first remember you can join us on TikTok and tell us over English, where you will find news in different formats, news updates and much more.
07:08We'll be right back, stay with us.
07:38Welcome back.
07:39In Qatar, an emergency meeting of Islam and Arab countries was held in Doha on Monday to address the deadly attacks of the Israeli regime against a delegation of the Palestinian-resistant movement Hamas in the territory.
07:53The attendees to an emergency summit called the Israeli attack a flagrant violation of national sovereignty and international law.
08:00During the closed-door meeting, the foreign ministers of the participating countries issued a drafted declaration against the attack, accusing the Israeli regime of threatening regional peace.
08:12The draft also mentioned that Israel's ongoing genocide and expansionist policies in the Gaza Strip rest peace and coexistence in the region.
08:26During the meeting, the Emir of Qatar, Tamim Bid Hamad al-Tani, rejected the Israeli hostilities attempt towards that negotiation in a ceasefire in Gaza.
08:38That is a party to the negotiations and yet aggresses the venue where the negotiations take place.
08:45If Israel wishes to assassinate the Hamas leaders, why then engage into negotiations?
08:52If you wish to insist on the liberation of hostages, why then do they assassinate all negotiators?
09:00How can we host in our country negotiating delegations from Israel, whereas they sent drones and planes for an air raid against our country?
09:15There is no need for questions. This is just a cowardly aggression.
09:21The second reality that comes to the surface is that those who work consistently to assassinate the party that is in negotiation will certainly do everything to ensure the failure of negotiations.
09:38When they claim that they seek the liberation of hostages is a mere lie.
09:44For its part, Iranian President Massoud Becherskian condemned the impunity of Israeli attacks in the region, called for unity against threats and aggressions.
09:59We must seek means to stand up to these assaults.
10:17This act of belligerence was not the spare of the moment.
10:21It is the consequence of the provocative policies of the Israeli occupation forces and the impunity they have been enjoying as they continue to go unpenalized for their crimes.
10:36By their acts, they have crossed all red lines.
10:40All the Arab and Muslim states are required to stand united standing up to this belligerent Zionist entity.
10:55As the health crisis in the Palestinian territory continues to escalate, the English health minister denounced today that hospital patients are facing a serious crisis due to famine and lack of medical care.
11:06The Palestinian authority warned that the health staff cannot continue to work under the total lack of medicines and essential supplies.
11:13The authority also urged the international, regional and humanitarian actors to put pressure on the Israeli regime to guarantee the entry of humanitarian aid.
11:22At the same time, the United Nations Organization for Palestinian Refugees denounced the increasing of the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, leading to the destruction of at least 10 of the organization's buildings.
11:42The attacks have also destroyed hospitals, schools and shelters, pushing Gazans into forced displacement and putting their safety at risk.
11:59Meanwhile in Spain, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez urged the international community to prevent Israel from participating in sports and competitions while the genocide in Gaza continues.
12:10The Spanish Prime Minister questioned international permissiveness towards Israel during an inter-parliamentary meeting in the Congress of Deputies, comparing it to the sanctions imposed on Russia after it launched a special military operation in Ukraine.
12:24Sanchez highlighted the association agreement's suspension with Israel, a measure backed by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
12:31These statements come after the incidents in the last stage of the Tour of Spain cycling race in Madrid, where pro-Palestinian protests forced the cancellation.
12:42In other news, Belarus did announce Poland and the Baltic States for mining in their border areas with this country and criticized the following Western interests and policies.
13:01During an interview to the magazine of the Russian intelligence service, Roshveshik, Belarus President Alexander Lukashevko said that the country violates the Ottawa Treaty, which aims at eliminating anti-personal landmines around the world.
13:15The head of state also said that the move is another attempt to the West to put pressure on his country and retaliated his government's willingness to have friendly relations with its neighboring countries.
13:26The Belarus leader also questioned the need to mine the borders and spend millions in setting up iron walls, where migrants can break through them in just a few minutes.
13:43And like this, we have come to the end of this news brief.
