00:00:00Several demonstrations are being held around the world to condemn the
00:00:15interception of the Global Summon Flotilla vessels by Israeli forces.
00:00:19On Thursday the United States will lose nearly 15 billion US dollars per week of
00:00:29its gross domestic product due to federal government shutdown.
00:00:36And on Thursday France faces another day of nationwide protests against budget cuts
00:00:41and the government's austerity measures.
00:00:47Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:00:52We begin with Elise.
00:00:59The Global Summon Flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza was subjected to intimidation,
00:01:15interception, illegal boarding by Israeli military forces.
00:01:20Israeli naval occupation forces detained several vessels from the Flotilla in international
00:01:24waters where Israel has no jurisdiction, just as it has no jurisdiction over the waters
00:01:31and shoreline of Gaza.
00:01:34443 crew members have been kidnapped and denied access to their lawyers and legal counsel.
00:01:41In the latest update, the Flotilla organizers reported that the Mikeno vessel may have entered
00:01:47Palestinian territorial waters but remains out of contact.
00:01:51While the Marinette vessel remains in contact, carrying six passengers on board.
00:02:01And in light of these events, Flotilla members have accused Israel of committing a war crime
00:02:07and called for international mobilization.
00:02:10In an official statement, the Flotilla has urged governments and international organizations
00:02:15to intervene and ensure the safety of the detained crew members demanding that immediate release.
00:02:21Flotilla organizers explained that the Israeli defense forces formed a chain in waters where
00:02:27they have no jurisdiction, further highlighting the illegal blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip.
00:02:34Furthermore, members are informed that Zionist forces attacked unarmed civilians using water canyons,
00:02:41skunk water and systematically blocking ship communications.
00:02:51In this scenario, climate activist Greta Thunberg, who was on board of one of the Flotilla vessels,
00:02:57released a previously recorded video confirming her abduction by Israeli forces.
00:03:02If you are watching this video, I have been abducted and taken against my will by Israeli forces.
00:03:12Our humanitarian mission was non-violent and abiding by international law.
00:03:16Please tell my government to demand my and the others immediate release.
00:03:21In this context, thousands are demonstrating on Thursday across several Spanish citizens against
00:03:28the interception of the Global Sumo Trotilla by Israeli forces and in solidarity with Palestine.
00:03:33In Barcelona, over 6,000 students marched from the Universitat Square in response to the call
00:03:40issued by the local student union. Shanting slogans, denouncing Europe's complicity in Israel's
00:03:46genocide in Gaza. Demonstrators have urged the population to join the action and not remain
00:03:53silent to the play of Palestinians. At the same time, some 4,000 students, mostly from high school
00:03:59and university, marched towards Puerta del Sol in the capital Madrid to protest the arrest of the
00:04:05Flotilla activists. The action is reportedly being echoed in over 40 Spanish cities, including Oviedo,
00:04:13Bilbao and Tenerife, among others.
00:04:19Through a statement, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bagaye vehemently denounced the Israeli
00:04:26regime's aggression against the international global Sumo Trotilla and he said the atrocity
00:04:31represented a blatant violation of international law and an act of terrorism. Bagaye also prized the
00:04:40humanitarian efforts of the Flotilla's activists and grassroots groups that hailed from various
00:04:45countries, saying they had stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people and sought to break the
00:04:51cruel blockade. For his part, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also condemned Israel's interception
00:05:02of the humanitarian flotilla, calling it a banditry that again exposes Tel Aviv's crimes in the world.
00:05:13I condemn the banditry targeting the global Sumid flotilla,
00:05:19which set out to bring attention to the barbarity in Gaza, where children are starving,
00:05:25and to bring humanitarian aid to the oppressed Palestinians. The Sumid flotilla has once again
00:05:35made the brutality in Gaza and the mass occurring face of Israel visible to the whole world.
00:05:44Palestinians remain deeply skeptical of U.S. President Donald Trump recently unveiled 20-point
00:05:50Gaza peace proposal, viewing Washington's role as lacking credibility after decades of failed promises
00:05:56and biased policies favoring Israel. Widespread distrust lingers over the Trump administration's
00:06:03consistency, with Gaza civilians weary from unending violence and suffering under an oppressive siege
00:06:10that no diplomatic initiative has yet alleviated. The proposal is widely seen as benefiting Israeli
00:06:17security priorities while sidelining Palestinian sovereignty and justice. Palestinians called
00:06:22for an end to the siege and recognition of the right to self-determination above any superficial ceasefire
00:06:29agreements that fail to address the root causes of their oppression. Critics called the proposal
00:06:35an ultimatum rather than a genuine peace offer.
00:06:38This is entirely a conspiracy by the United States against the Palestinian people. Now the negotiators no
00:06:50longer consider the interests of the Palestinian people. This plan is essentially Netanyahu's conception.
00:06:56Ultimately, they only care about seizing what they want, and inflict more blows to the Palestinian people.
00:07:01The Palestinian people is the first and the last one.
00:07:07Trump's first position is the first to the Prime Minister.
00:07:09Trump's first position is the first one of the Estados Unidos.
00:07:10He has claimed that his plans are to bring peace and a ceasefire to Gaza.
00:07:14But so far, those plans we have seen had no credibility at all.
00:07:18They were just false promises with zero substance. Frankly speaking, there have been no word of truth
00:07:28delivered in his plans. What we have seen are completely the opposite.
00:07:58Welcome back to From the South. We go to the United States. The country will lose nearly
00:08:1115 billion dollars per week of its gross domestic product due to federal government shutdown.
00:08:17Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is organizing massive layoffs of workers and political revenge
00:08:22against his opponents. The figure appears in an internal memorandum from the White House
00:08:27Council of Economic Advisers, which also warned that the extended shutdown could threaten even more
00:08:33economic growth, employment and the stability of social programs. Sectors of the opposition asserted
00:08:39that President Trump is not concerned about the serious predictions of his own advisors,
00:08:44as he enjoys planning the layoffs of thousands of workers and plotting new punishments against
00:08:51his political opponents. And the Director of the Latin American Department of the Russian Foreign
00:09:00Ministry, Alexander Shetinin, made a formal call to respect the Panama Canal Neutrality Treaty in light
00:09:07of recent threats by the United States to regain control of the inter-oceanic waterway. The diplomat
00:09:13highlighted Moscow's position of upholding the current international legal regime of the canal,
00:09:18which is in Panamanian hands, considering it a guarantee of its efficiency and profitability for
00:09:25world trade. He also recalled that Russian foreign policy is based on respect for international law
00:09:31and the historic Torrijos-Carter treaties of 1977. Shetinin also criticized the deployment of U.S. naval and
00:09:40air forces in the Southern Caribbean and reiterated that Russia considers Latin America a friendly region
00:09:46and a partner that shares its values of sovereignty and non-intervention in internal affairs.
00:09:56In other topics, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry is holding a conference in Caracas on October 2nd and
00:10:023rd to analyze imperial colonization. The ministry announced that the event will address new forms of
00:10:08domination and colonization processes. The International Conference Colonialism, Neocolonialism,
00:10:13and the Territorial Dispossession of Western Imperialism brings together authorities and experts in the
00:10:19study of imperial colonization in Caracas. The meeting seeks to highlight the need to compensate
00:10:25the peoples who were victims and offers an in-depth and decolonizing look at an outstanding debt
00:10:33and a wound that remains open.
00:10:34And in Peru, the Minister of Justice and Human Rights José Luis Antibáñez presented his resignation just
00:10:46six weeks after taking office and two days before the parliament was due to discuss a motion of no
00:10:52confidence against him. The minister's appointment had caused controversy, especially after his dismissal
00:10:59as minister of the interior due to a parliamentary sanctuary. In his first days at charge, the
00:11:04prosecutor's office launched an investigation into his alleged links to a criminal organization
00:11:10and searches were conducted at his home and office. In addition, audio recordings were made public in
00:11:17which Santibáñez discussed improving prison conditions for a convicted former police officer,
00:11:22which sparked criticisms of his suitability as minister.
00:11:31And in Argentina, Mila's government takes a heavy blow with the indictment of legislator José Luis
00:11:36Espert for receiving economic favors and having ties to drug trafficking. Espert, a close ally of the
00:11:43president, is accused of maintaining relations with Fred Machado, a convicted drug trafficker in Argentina.
00:11:51According to various sources, evidence was presented of Espert's use of the criminal's private plane
00:11:57and bulletproof cars for his election campaign travel. And in this context, three and a half weeks
00:12:02before the legislative elections, Mila is in an internal dilemma about whether to remove Espert from
00:12:09the candidacy or defend him against the alleged charges.
00:12:12And we go to Ecuador now. Leaders from 15 universities and social movements made an urgent call to reduce
00:12:23violence and find peaceful solutions to the protest against the government. Social tensions in Ecuador
00:12:29have increased during the last 10 days of protests against the measures of Daniel Novoa. Violence against
00:12:36protesters have left one dead, dozens injured and more than 100 arrested, 12 of whom have been charged with
00:12:44terrorism. In this context, the university unions and social movements concur with the call by the
00:12:50United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres to resolve disputes through dialogue and halt the
00:12:56escalation of violence. The Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities urged the parliament to
00:13:02initiate impeachment proceedings against the ministers of defense and the interior for the violent events
00:13:07that occurred during the national strike.
00:13:13And in this context, in Ecuador, as we mentioned, the social struggle continues. Every day, more citizens
00:13:18reject the policies of Daniel Novoa's government and new protest group are even joining the fight. On
00:13:25Wednesday, anti-mining activists announced their full support for the national strike. In this context,
00:13:30our colleague Gabriela Mena tells us more in the following report.
00:13:38Ecuador has become the scene of multiple protests in all provinces. Citizens, organizations,
00:13:43and unions reject the measures of Daniel Novoa's government. Social organizations emphasize that
00:13:49they will not stop until the executive withdraws the policies that affect the most vulnerable sectors of
00:13:53the country. On Wednesday alone, members of the anti-mining front protested to reiterate their rejection of
00:13:58mining projects. That is why we have remained firm in the struggle, in the fight for our resistance,
00:14:08and we will not allow the whims of a rich child to punish our lands. Environmental groups join this
00:14:17day of protests. They argue that the government has been working to promote the reopening of the
00:14:22Castro Mining Company with a view to benefiting the elites and foreign companies, rather than the
00:14:26communities, and the impact that mining has on the health of the community members.
00:14:29Because they are not listening to us within the law, but when we raise our voices,
00:14:38it is the only way for them to hear us. There are only two sides here those who have power and money,
00:14:44like the government, and us, who have no money, and the only thing we know how to do,
00:14:47is raise our voices. Unlike what the government has said, that we are armed, that we are terrorists,
00:14:53we only have our voice, and it is our only weapon. The anti-mining collective filed an extraordinary
00:15:03protection action with the Constitutional Court in defense of the territory against the advance of
00:15:07the La Plata mining project, by the Canadian company, ADECO Mining. The document was supported
00:15:12by several citizens who reject the criminalization against them. We clearly do not need mining. The
00:15:21only one who needs mining is Daniel Noboev to line his own pockets. That is the only purpose. We are
00:15:27here in a people's struggle, that is the only purpose 100 peaceful, not like the government
00:15:31labels us as terrorists. As you can see, we bring banners and our only weapon is our voice.
00:15:43Meanwhile, the capital and its surroundings look like this, blocked and with protesters continuing to
00:15:47demand their right to free speech against Daniel Noboev as measures. Under slogans such as Noboev listen,
00:15:53the people are fighting, and this is resistance, it is not paid for, it is the people organized.
00:15:57Every day more citizens in Ecuador join the marches against the executive.
00:16:00The people in Ecuador join the marches against the executive.

00:16:24Final show break, we'll be right back.
00:16:43Welcome back to From the South. On Thursday, France faces another day of nationwide protests
00:16:51against budget cuts and the government's austerity measures. The General Confederation of Labour has
00:16:56announced about 240 actions planned throughout France for October 2nd, with marches in numerous
00:17:03cities as well as some rallies at roundabouts or intersections. After their meeting with the new
00:17:10Prime Minister Sebastián Lucerne, the unions consider that the mandatory has failed to meet their
00:17:16expectations and are calling for the abandonment of the entire budget project as well as tax justice.
00:17:24The union also wants the 211 billion euros in public aid granted to companies to be conditional on
00:17:31compliance with social and environmental standards.
00:17:33In Morocco, at least two people died amid anti-government protests that are shaking the country.
00:17:44The incident occurred after the local police in Le Clea opened fire on a group of people who were
00:17:49allegedly attempting to storm a police station. For the first day, protests organized by the Gen Z 212
00:17:56movement filled the streets of Rabat and other cities across the country to demand better education and
00:18:03health care systems. The protests are considered the largest in Morocco in years and despite the lack of
00:18:10permits from the authorities, demonstrations are spreading to several cities.
00:18:23In Bolivia, the Civil Defense Agency reported that the country has seen a drastic reduction in forest fires
00:18:37compared to last year and the last decade when the fire was used not only for economic purposes but also
00:18:43for political ones. The decrease comes as the right wing wins the elections and will take over the country's
00:18:49government in a few weeks. Our correspondent, Freddy Morales, gives us the details.
00:18:58This year, measures have also been taken to assist wildlife affected by the so-called fire season.
00:19:06A team from the comprehensive wildlife program is heading to the affected municipalities of Carmen
00:19:10Ribeiro Torres and Puerto Suarez to work on the search, combing, rescue, and care of wildlife affected
00:19:18by the recent fires throughout the fire scar area. Unlike last year, when the air was unbreathable due
00:19:28to smoke across practically the entire country at this time of year, this year there were no health
00:19:32alerts due to poor air quality. Obviously, compared to the previous administration,
00:19:41the difference between last year and this year to date is truly astonishing. Last year, we had more
00:19:47than four or five million hectares burnt. It was regrettable that these actions were carried out by
00:19:57unscrupulous citizens. But now it is not pleasant to report that we have more than 700,000 hectares
00:20:03burnt. It is not pleasant, but compared to last year, the difference is really huge.
00:20:14The comparison of the magnitude of the fires with what happened last year,
00:20:17when the historical record was broken, is striking.
00:20:20We are ending September with only 76,183 hot spots compared to September last year,
00:20:31which saw 991,903. This means a considerable decrease in hot spots and also means that fires
00:20:42have been minimal compared to previous years. We could even say that this year the burn scar will
00:20:51be one of the lowest in the last 10 years in the national territory.
00:21:01The drastic reduction in forest fires coincides with the retreat of the left, which governed the
00:21:06country for almost two decades, and the certain electoral victory of the right, which will take over
00:21:11the government in early November. The government has claimed that the recent large forest fires were
00:21:15in large part promoted for political purposes to complicate and discredit the government's
00:21:20management. Last year, 12.6 million hectares were burned. This year, so far, less than 1 million.
00:21:35And now we go live to Venezuela, where the balance of the Bolivarian Armed Forces is taking place.
00:21:40Let's listen.
00:21:47Of the states of Zulia, there, as you know, we have a deployment, a previous deployment,
00:21:54that was joined by 15,000 officials by instructions of the president to have this binational zone for
00:22:02the development, for the tranquility of the border peoples. We have the deployment of the
00:22:10Guajira, in the Sierra of Perija, and we are also having a deployment in the center here in the
00:22:19Catatumbo of Venezuela, and deployments in the Tachira as well, protecting our borders, ending
00:22:29the armed criminal gangs, narcotraffickers of Colombia, of Colombian origin.
00:22:35So we have deployed in Alapure to take and watch our rivers. Also, we have it in the 15 municipalities
00:22:49in Guarico, criminal gangs that want to reunite in Guarico. This is a constant pressure in Cerase 200, in Guarico. We have been successful.
00:23:03My congratulations to the commander of this operation, Domingo Hernández.
00:23:10Domingo Hernández. We also have a deployment, because they are crossing to this side,
00:23:19some terrorist groups, narcotraffickers from the ELN and FARC name and last names.
00:23:29We are in an operation, and there is a Guayana commander in front of that operation. And also,
00:23:41after we enter in this difficult territory because of its characteristics, geographical
00:23:48and vegetation, we have entered and we have never come out from that state. That operation is FAC
00:24:03Operation 2000. We can't forget all the achievements we have get in this region, in narcotraffic material,
00:24:16and we also are doing some operations. I'm telling to the people in Venezuela, it's not only just the
00:24:26weapons, but logistical, just things to give to the native people over there. It's a civic action
00:24:36that we are doing after this military deployment, to take care of the people. It's part of the
00:24:44organization of this operation. In the east, we have Sifonte operation, that is to availability of vials.
00:25:00Never we have had so military presence in this area. And Sifonte operation 2000 is operating
00:25:10successfully over here. And another operation that is ongoing right now in the 15th municipality of
00:25:16Sucre State, Humanagoto 200. So all this deployment, so in a general way, it is from the military forces
00:25:29through different strategic regions and operational zones. We are going to hear some
00:25:35example of the balances here in Catatumbo, zone number one. We have cleaned some camp from the National
00:25:49Liberation Army and the FAC II. They have been disarmed in this region. And also, in the range, I have said
00:26:01that we had an operation to see if there were or not illegal plantations. And certainly, we found six
00:26:16hectares of illegal plantations that were destroyed. And they crossed the frontier from Colombia. This
00:26:28operation, it is done twice a year to keep our territory free of illegal plantations. Then,
00:26:38in Venezuela, there are no plantations, not procedures, not laundry, no cartels,
00:26:49no distribution. It is minimal. Short transit that we, with all this deployment that you can see in the
00:27:05map, we stopped. How many we have? Seized drug in this year, more than 60 tons has been seized.
00:27:19Of illegal drugs in all the national territory. And so, in Cubana Goto,
00:27:28Mayor General, we have destroyed 14 structures, logistical structures of armed groups that are
00:27:37operating in that region without law and anything. And we captured also two booths with
00:27:45out-of-board engines, 9,000 liters of fuel, and 12 fire guns. I want the general, who said from that theater,
00:28:02all outstanding things, all things that people need to know, humana goto 200 operation. Go ahead,
00:28:09Mayor General. Chavez alive. In the framework of this operation,
00:28:18the Bolivarian Army, with all its forces,
00:28:24union with the people and the police,
00:28:25in this force, maritime, terrestrial, special forces, military engineering,
00:28:38organization, electronic, electronic, electronic intelligence,
00:28:44using 60 combat that goes through the 15 municipality of the state in 14 quadrangles.
00:28:54We keep operation together, by insertion, amphibic insertion, exploration,
00:29:07aerial and maritime. So, we are, we are checking the coast,
00:29:12at different areas and zones, control points, among other operational tasks,
00:29:23forcing in this operation.
00:29:26We have had some significant results
00:29:31in function of this maneuver, where we can highlight 14
00:29:38The existing structure has been destroyed, used by narcotrafic groups to boats, 9,000
00:29:50liters of fuel, and 12 fire guns.
00:29:56This operation, Cubana Goto 200, it is together to keep the internal order that represents
00:30:06a very stunned operation to reaffirm and guarantee the internal defense of our country and to
00:30:14face any group, delinquent group, criminal groups, generators of violence, showing the
00:30:22operational capacity in front of any kind of threat, in or out, and we could see also the
00:30:31union between the police and the people to promote civic education and generate collective
00:30:38consciousness about the protection of our territory resource.
00:30:44General, the operation will continue to guarantee peace of Sucre State and the sovereignty,
00:30:57territorial integrity of all its geographic species.
00:31:01General in chief, just as we were talking, all the major staff, all the defense sector,
00:31:14the white major staff, all the commanders in the different regions, operational zones, all
00:31:26of the productive sector of the army, and the educational sector of this Bolivarian army, making some
00:31:38balances, and planifying to the future, a projection to the future, always in the framework of the
00:31:48the permanent offenses. Every action that we do right now will avoid, will prevent bigger calamities.
00:32:00All things we can do, I was telling to my comrades, in this framework, Ayacucho framework, ordered by our
00:32:11commander-in-chief to change the Bolivarian army, I repeat, in this framework, it is going on.
00:32:24And I was saying, yesterday, that it has touched this part of threat from the U.S. imperialism, and this, it
00:32:38helped us to fly and strengthen this moment we have not another chance. This is, this is our chance.
00:32:50And we have to build it right now. And we have to have our equipment right now. And we have to work with
00:32:57this new organization that we have to come from now. It means this Ayacucho plan is the dynamic one to think, to change.
00:33:07To re-localate, to unite things, to create another unit, and to redistribute in the geographical space of
00:33:22Venezuela, according to hypothesis. Then, yesterday we were talking a while, at about four hours, very
00:33:32very interesting conversations together, from the administration, health, people, the wealthiness of
00:33:41our people. And always, so, the use of this deployment that we are doing right now. See, I really appreciate
00:33:50the Sovereign Quintero General, due to your report, we have been, you have been there eight days,
00:33:58operating over there, with your generals, my grace to all of them, and the task going on. The matrix of this execution,
00:34:11everything that we have to do, everything that we have to do, we have to accomplish all this inside the territory
00:34:16and in on time. So that later, the corresponding deployment, and redeploy it to another area in the
00:34:29national territory. So, we also have, listening, Sojo Rada, commander of the Amazonas Zone of Operation. We have
00:34:44had some contact with him. He has informed two things that they have been done in that zone. He is at the, at the
00:34:52shore of the river, and he is going to inform all what he has done in the last six days. In this operation,
00:35:04that was registered, because the military presence is over there. So, let's listen.
00:35:11Leonel Sotorada General, from Amazonas. Go ahead. Chavez alive. From Amazonas Integrated Zone, going through
00:35:27using our sovereignty, in the framework of the variant shield, 2025. We are deployed in all the
00:35:46territory. We are integrated by combatants very well trained, who are committed with the integral defense
00:36:03of our country, and using all our terrestrial means, aerial means, to keep this zone, the national

00:55:44and destroyed these camps which are linked to different activities illegal activities following
00:55:52the given instruction to minimize any impact in the national our national territory could never be
00:56:04given away no arrending or in no way to foreign states in Venezuela we do not plant we do not produce we do
00:56:18not grow drugs our territory is free from any kind of plantation Venezuela is to be respected it is a
00:56:30peace territory independence freedom or nothing that is our slogan
00:56:48well my best regards to commander in chief Nicolás Maduro to all these soldiers that are deployed in
00:56:58the national territory you can see Venezuelan people how do we take care of their constitutional mission
00:57:05that is to guarantee the independent the national independence independence or nothing that is to
00:57:15guarantee our our national sovereignty and to preserve the integrity of our territory that's the biggest
00:57:21mission that we have for the Constitution we are committed with this compromise in the good or in the bad
00:57:34something it is going to the to the Lord that is the spirit and this position that we have to go and face the
00:57:45problems and to accomplish the mission without any kind of excuses we have no excuses
00:57:57not to accomplish this mission we are ready and every day we are we have more power
00:58:06to face any kind of threaten all this group that cross this violent group that cross through the border
00:58:13the border from Colombia that and they pretend to to eradicate in our territory all of them are dealing with drugs
00:58:23there is no line ideological to characterize the group no there is no all that is gone
00:58:39and there are groups that are dedicated to narco traffic so in Venezuela they're going to have
00:58:49a very hard answer all these kind of groups that want to have home here in Venezuela and traffic any kind of
00:58:59psychotropic substances trucks etc if they want or not have to cause trouble in the population we are not going to allow it
00:59:09the frontiers are peace territories and our army it is deployed with 36 000
00:59:21militaries right now when i did a check of all the all the units that we have deployed there are 36
00:59:30effects effective right now right now of course this change according to the amount of fronts that we have to keep
00:59:43then i say always to the imperialists so you have to check see very well your actions think very well your decisions
01:00:00that those that academics call calculation errors
01:00:09calculation errors
01:00:15this emerging polarity they could be very bad because the planet could be be in a third world war
01:00:26that our commander said that it is it is it is ongoing because effectively there are regions
01:00:37that are full of conventional conflicts go to genocide
01:00:45and goes to to aerial strikes to kill kids to kill cultures
01:00:51leaders to cut heads of regimes
01:01:00then you have to take into account
01:01:03you have to remember brothers
01:01:08error calculation in 1815 from spain when they
01:01:14they they thought that with their characteristics the army they had that was coming from very huge victories in europe
01:01:26we could submit
01:01:28believer and end with the independence revolution and you know how how was the end
01:01:34they believed at that time the north american imperialism that it could have a victory against
01:01:45sandino's armies in nicaragua big mistake
01:01:48they had the third right
01:01:57a big calculation error when they started red bird operation against the soviet union
01:02:05very big mistake in vietnam also how many calculation errors they have done
01:02:11in 2002 2002 they pretended to overthrow chavez our commander supreme commander they get grant
01:02:23something was missing in the equation small mistake the people and the army
01:02:31small error of calculation then under our commander-in-chief nicholas maduro
01:02:38they tried here supported by the u.s imperialism another another european countries
01:02:47a map in here another mistake another calculation mistake
01:02:55and well
01:03:00i'm saying right now when it is born it's being born a new world multipolar world
01:03:08equilibrium of some heavy weights i say don't
01:03:16make another calculation mistake when you decide to
01:03:22an aggression against the venezolan people do not commit that mistake think it well think it twice
01:03:28investigate very well and read the national spirit read the national spirit
01:03:39i have seen over there and we have detected
01:03:44with our aerial system
01:03:46inside mckettia in mckettia region more than five vectors we have detected five vectors
