00:00:00President of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro called on all Venezuelan people to offer their absolute
00:00:15support to the Bolivarian National Armed Forces during his review of the military community brigades.
00:00:21The sixth China-Latin America High-Level Defense Forum was held in Beijing with growing
00:00:30condemnation of the United States' aggressive operations in the Caribbean.
00:00:35And in the United States, the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night TV show has
00:00:44sparked concerns for the state of freedom of speech in the nation.
00:00:48Hello and welcome to From the South.
00:00:54My name is Belen de los Santos and from Atesor Studios in Havana, Cuba, we'll begin with the news.
00:01:11And we begin with the information the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, led on Thursday
00:01:16the review of the work of the Military Communal Brigades for Education and Health, Brico Miles.
00:01:22In this context, he called on all Venezuelans to offer their absolute support to the Bolivarian
00:01:27National Armed Forces, which are deployed in defense of the sovereignty and security of
00:01:32the Venezuelan Caribbean in the face of the recent U.S. threats.
00:01:37The Bolivarian President highlighted the military drills carried out in the country's territorial
00:01:41waters as a way to reaffirm the nation's legitimate right to protect its territory.
00:01:46He also denounced the false narratives promoted by the U.S. government and warned that there
00:01:51is an imperialist plan to bring about a government change in Venezuela.
00:01:56Meanwhile, in Venezuela, supermarket shelves are filled with products made in the own country,
00:02:09a reality that most of Western media does not show.
00:02:13And this is reflected not only in the figures, but also in the feeling of its inhabitants.
00:02:18Andrea Romero with more details.
00:02:19In recent years, the Venezuelan economy has undergone a significant transformation, with
00:02:29the Bolivar regaining ground as the main currency and the supply of domestic products, which translates
00:02:34into confidence and growing independence.
00:02:36On supermarket shelves, 90% of products are domestically produced, which deserves applause.
00:02:4995% of transactions today are in Bolivar's.
00:03:05Our national currency, and as of yesterday, according to the latest information, 30 supermarkets
00:03:14have opened throughout the country in 2025, with a goal of 40 stores for this year, compared
00:03:25to 61 in 2024.
00:03:30According to analyst Raymond Martinez, this is the result of macroeconomic policies focused
00:03:35on strengthening the use of the local currency, rather than foreign currencies.
00:03:40We are building confidence in the Bolivar again through monetary policies, aimed at reducing
00:03:46consumption and trade related to currency issues, and by promoting technical advice through
00:03:52banking services.
00:03:54Everything related to digital commerce, making room for everything related to promoting the
00:03:58use of the current currency, which is the Bolivar.
00:04:02Congressman Ramon Lobo details how this steady growth in Venezuelan production has been sustained
00:04:08despite external threats.
00:04:14Hell, since the third quarter of 2021, the productive apparatus has been growing at a gross rate.
00:04:25Let us remember that this has been motivated by the sanction scheme that was established in Venezuela,
00:04:32in response to a systematic and psychological campaign, whose primary objective is to intimidate
00:04:40and sow anxiety among the Venezuelan people.
00:04:45This also has a clear and definite objective, which is to immobilize the productive apparatus.
00:04:53They seek to paralyze economic agents by creating negative expectations of uncertainty and insecurity.
00:05:01Economic stability has a direct impact on citizens by giving them greater access to a wider range
00:05:06of products in supermarkets.
00:05:10There are Venezuelan products.
00:05:11We have flour, rice, pasta, grains, butter.
00:05:14I think there is a lot of variety.
00:05:17Venezuela moves toward greater economic independence and sovereignty.
00:05:27We continue now with other topics.
00:05:28In Colombia, President Gustavo Petro officially handed over 18,000 hectares of land to approximately
00:05:355,000 farmers from the Magdalena Medio region.
00:05:39The land transfer ceremony took place at the Ventura Castillo Coliseum in the Western Department of Caldas.
00:05:47This action represents a significant step towards the agrarian reform in the country,
00:05:52a commitment that President Petro has considered crucial to democratizing land ownership and
00:05:58combating rural inequality.
00:06:00The president emphasized that in a context of historical violence related to land tenure,
00:06:06it is urgent to guarantee a productive and peaceful future for Colombian farmers.
00:06:1118,000 hectares out of 40,000, 40,000 that should increase, is not enough.
00:06:29Magdalena Medio is one of the priority areas of the agrarian reform.
00:06:36And we have to produce, not just have land.
00:06:40It is of no use to us to have land if we do not work it, and to work it.
00:06:45We need technology, education, and money, and cooperation must continue.
00:06:53Because a farmer alone begins to lose his strength, and only by helping each other, the family,
00:07:00the farmer, and the local community, can we move production forward.
00:07:05And in Paraguay, several senators have spoken about alleged money-filled envelopes found
00:07:15in the residence of President Santiago Pena, and assured that an impeachment against the
00:07:21head of state is imminent.
00:07:23Senators from different parties assured that the explanations that were given by the head
00:07:29of state are not satisfactory.
00:07:31He had said that he had fired some staff workers but couldn't explain the allegations done by
00:07:36such workers about some irregular payments and having envelopes with lots of money.
00:07:43In this regard, senators affirmed that it is astonishing that the head of state did not
00:07:48deny the existence of these envelopes, which then disappeared.
00:07:52They added that the impeachment would give him the opportunity to defend himself.
00:07:58What the country suspects?
00:08:04That Nduruvicharoga money is received in exchange for favors.
00:08:07The same thing happens in Argentina.
00:08:09And that is why he gets along so well with Mailai.
00:08:12Mailai, his sister receives bribes from suppliers at the government house.
00:08:16And here at Nduruvicharoga, visits are also received from people linked to business with
00:08:21the state.
00:08:22What's more, the evidence is there.
00:08:24Why doesn't he take it to the bank?
00:08:25Why doesn't he take the money to his favorite bank?
00:08:28Probably because he can't justify it.
00:08:30Now we have a short break coming up.
00:08:34But first, remember you can join us on TikTok at Tell Us Your English, where you all find
00:08:38news in different formats, news updates, and much more.
00:08:42Stay with us.
00:08:55Welcome back to From the South.
00:09:02We continue with more information.
00:09:04On Friday, the 6th China-Latin America High-Level Defense Forum was held in Beijing with growing
00:09:10condemnation of the United States' aggressive operations in the Caribbean.
00:09:15In this context, the meeting took place in the framework of the Jiangshan Forum with the
00:09:21participation of defense and military officials from China and 18 countries in Latin America
00:09:27and the Caribbean, who pledged deeper cooperation on security matters.
00:09:32The event is relevant in light of the tensions generated by the nuclear-capable warfare contingent
00:09:39that the United States has deployed in the region.
00:09:42Beijing has also called on Washington to stop forcing Latin American countries to choose
00:09:47sides and immense respect for the sovereignty and independence of each nation.
00:09:57And precisely in China, as the 12th Chiangshan Forum comes to a close on Friday after three
00:10:07days of debates regarding the defense of the international order, we have more information
00:10:12on this with a correspondent in Beijing, Bruno Falsi.
00:10:15From September 17 to 19, the 12th Beijing Chiangshan Forum was held at the Beijing International Convention
00:10:25Center.
00:10:26The team was maintaining international order and promoting peaceful development.
00:10:32This year's forum brought together delegations from over 100 countries, regions and international
00:10:41organizations, represented by nearly 1,800 officials, diplomats and high-ranking military officers.
00:10:51When a defense minister, Dong Jian, delivered the keynote address in a valid reference to
00:10:58the United States, he urged countries to unite against hegemonic logic and acts of intimidation.
00:11:06He also stated that the Chinese military will never allow any separate attempts by Taiwan and
00:11:13was ready to frustrate external military interference at all times.
00:11:21The Chiangshan Forum was founded in 2006 by the China Association for Military Science.
00:11:28It has become a key platform for multilateral dialogue and regional security in the Asia-Pacific,
00:11:36facilitating the exchange of perspectives on contemporary security challenges and strategy for maintaining
00:11:44peace and stability in the region.
00:11:47This is Bruno Falsi in Beijing for Telesur.

00:15:38But for now, we go to more information here and from the south.
00:15:42On Thursday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed to join forces
00:15:48to defend the trade agreement between Mexico, the United States, and Canada, known as the USMCA,
00:15:55from threats and uncertainty coming from the White House.
00:15:59We have more on this topic.
00:16:01Although the governments of Canada and Mexico acknowledge that the protectionism that the United States is attempting to impose on the world
00:16:11foreshadows some complex negotiations in the area they have committed to the treaty in 2026.
00:16:20Both the president and the prime ministers are engaged to an alliance to cooperate on the future and consolidation of the treaty.
00:16:28Also in this regard, Sheinbaum and Carney emphasized that North America is a very important region in the global economy
00:16:36and will seek to ensure that the alliance benefits their countries for which they have designed a common strategy.
00:16:44We have agreed on a very important action plan, which we hope will soon yield results in terms of our bilateral relationship,
00:16:59but also in terms of the relationship we have as North American countries with the trade agreement.
00:17:04This action plan will allow us to coordinate our efforts in different areas of the bilateral relationship.
00:17:11In a more comprehensive and structured way, this action plan opens a new chapter in which we further strengthen the economic, social, and cultural ties that unite us.
00:17:22And we go at this moment live to Venezuela as the Defense Minister giving statements. Let's listen.
