00:17and that Venezuela maintains a policy of peaceful democracy in the face of aggressions between the United States.

00:23In Honduras, almost 30,000 have returned to the country in 2025, according to the National Institute of Migration .

00:38The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas announced Friday its willingness to release Israeli prisoners

00:43and proposes an independent Palestinian administration for the Gaza Strip.

00:51Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm Sophie Fernández from the Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba. We begin with the news.

00:57In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro affirmed that the country will never be a colony of anyone,

01:02and that the country maintains a policy of peaceful democracy in the face of aggressions from the United States.

01:09During the International Conference Colonialismo, Neocolonialismo and the Territory Dispossession of Western Imperialism,

01:16the President made a call to the people to fight for their dignity and their right to exist in a sovereign and peaceful country in the face of imperial threats in the region.

01:26Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro also ratified his country's commitment to peaceful diplomacy and his anti-imperialist character.

01:34The event was attended by more than 130 delegates from 59 countries, which discussed new models of colonization and the rights of peoples to coexist in peace and harmony with one another.

01:46We know enough about diplomacy and we could paraphrase Chávez from that February 29, 2004, when he declared the anti-imperialist character of the Bolivarian Revolution of the 21st century.

02:07There is enough diplomacy here, diplomacy for peace, if peace is wanted, and we seek peace, and diplomacy, also to confront the new imperial attempt to colonize our America, and fight however we have to fight, in the stage that we have to, in order to preserve the dignity and the right to life, to peace, and the existence of our people.

02:32Also, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro condemned the 1899th Arbitral Award that sought to strip Venezuela of the Ezequivo territory.

02:49One hundred twenty-six years ago an arbitral decision was negotiated in conjuponcha in imperial complicity, absolutely null and void.

03:02An arbitral decision that corresponded to the times of colonial plundering of that 19th century where Venezuela stood up and gave an example of dignity to the world.

03:17It was the end of the 19th century already, 1899, one hundred twenty-six years ago exactly one day like today.

03:34The arbitral award of Paris tied, cooked and approved by the old decadent and immoral and criminal British Empire, and the nascent,

03:50voracious, voracious and greedy American empire against a sacred land, blessed of all times that gave birth to the liberators of America, our beloved Venezuela.

04:05In this sense, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro celebrated the development of the International Conference Against Colonialismo and Territorial Dispossession.

04:19I welcome the holding of this international conference against colonialism, neo-colonialism, and the territorial plundering of Western empires over the centuries.

04:34The government of Venezuela denounced the United States' persistent interference in the Bolivarian territory to the United Nations.

04:44In his telegram account, the Foreign Minister Ivan Hill informed that the Venezuelan alternate ambassador to the United Nations, Joaquin Pérez,

04:53denounced the illegal incursion of U.S. fighter planes in Venezuela to the President of the Security Council, Vasily Alestevich.

05:00In this regard, Ivan Hill reaffirmed that the act represents a threat to national sovereignty.

05:06In particular, he stressed that this aggression violates the norm of international law and the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation.

05:19In this framework of international denunciation to the illegal military aggressions in the Caribbean, the U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Heigstead, reported yet another U.S. military attack against vessels off the coast of Venezuela.

05:34The Pentagon leader informed that four men, which they described as narco-terrorists, were killed in the attack on the vessel.

05:41The military operation was carried out in international waters off the coast of Venezuela, under the claim that the vessel was allegedly transporting narcotics destined for the United States.

05:52This aggression occurs in a scenario of constant U.S. military interference in the Caribbean, under the justification of carrying out an anti-drug campaign.

06:01Venezuela has not yet published an official statement on this last event.

06:11For his part, Colombian President Gustavo Petro was the first to respond to the U.S. aggressions, taking two acts to state that these illegal attacks are targeting poor young men in the Caribbean.

06:22There are no narco-terrorists on those boats, he said. The drug traffickers live in the U.S., Europe and Dubai. Those boats carry poor young people from the Caribbean.

06:33Firing missiles when interception is possible, as Colombia does, violates the universal legal principle of proportionality and therefore constitutes murder.

06:43The families of these young people must join forces. Venezuela has not yet issued a statement.

07:13Chile prepares to celebrate the 32nd edition of the Valdivia International Festival.

07:20From October 13 to 19, more than 250 films will be presented through various sections, with the aim of exploring and expanding the boundaries of indigenous audiovisuals and science and technology.

07:33Five venues in the city of Valdivia will host the screenings, which seek to highlight the stories of indigenous peoples and provide scientists, artists and filmmakers with a new experience on this topic.

07:44The festival will also include premieres, special screenings and meetings to honor indigenous cinema from Colombia, Peru, Chile, El Salvador and Honduras.

07:54And now we have a short break coming up, but first remember to join us on TikTok at Telesur English, where you will find news in different formats, news updates and more.

08:07We'll be right back, stay with us.

08:09Welcome back from the South. Almost 30,000 Honduras voluntarily returned to the country or were deported from different places of origin so far in 2025, according to the National Institute of Migration, INM.

08:34According to data published by the State Institution on this website, most of the 29,749 arrivals of nationals until September 25 are for reasons of deportation, followed by the regular and voluntary returns.

08:50According to the INM count, the United States tops the list of countries of origin with 22,595 people, followed by Mexico with 3,798 and Guatemala with 3,318.

09:05Despite the US President Trump's active immigration policy and threats of mass deportation, returns to Honduras have decreased.

09:13In other news, Colombian people mobilized in defense of democracy and the government of President Gustavo Petro as he denounced the treatment received by Latin American migrants in the United States.

09:30From the city of Ibagué, citizens took to the streets in a large popular mobilization to defend democracy, human dignity and social justice.

09:38In this context, Colombian President Gustavo Petro rejected the unfair treatment of Colombians and Latin Americans in the United States and denounced the anti-migration US rhetoric, stating that they seek to turn Latin Americans into slaves of the imperialist regime.

09:54In turn, the head of state emphasized that the United States government is an accomplice to the genocide being carried out in the Gaza Strip by the Zionist regime of Israel.

10:07The government of the United States, till this day, is an accomplice to a genocide that assert Netanyahu, I don't say Israelis or Jews, I don't, I respect the religion, their beliefs, that is what our Constitution ordains, but I don't respect Netanyahu killing babies with bombs that even have Colombian coal.

10:35In other news, in the United States, a crowd of protesters was dispersed Friday by law enforcement outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's ICE facility in Broadview, west of Chicago.

10:48At least five people were arrested for aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and obstruction of justice, according to the Cook County Sheriff's Office.

10:58This federal presence coincides with the Operation Mid-White Blitz, a law enforcement campaign launched in September that has resulted in more than 800 arrests in the Chicago region, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security.

11:14It's deployment of federal controls during the intensification of migrant detention measures in Chicago, considered a sanctuary city for its policies of inclusion and undocumented migrants.

11:29Moving to Morocco, where it is experiencing a wave of youth protest organized under the Gen Z212 Collective to demand improvements in public services and denounce the country's structural corruption.

11:44Since September 27th, the Gen Z212 movement has called for protests in several cities across the country to demand improvements in public education and healthcare, in rejection of the government spending events such as the 2030 World Cup.

11:59The demonstrations organized through social media and platforms such as Discord, where the Gen Z212 groups has more than 126,000 members, have been met with heavy police repression.

12:12The demonstrations are considered the largest in Morocco in years.

12:17Meanwhile, the death toll from a school collapsed in Indonesia rose to 14 on Friday, after recovery crews pulled multiple bodies from beneath the rubble.

12:31Dozens of students remain unaccounted for, and the death toll is expected to rise.

12:36Rescuers initially searched for hands for survivals after the building caves in Monday.

12:41But with no more signs of lives detected this Thursday, they turned to heavy excavators equipped with jackhammers to help them progress more rapidly.

12:51By Friday evening, they had found 9 bodies, bringing the confirmed death toll to 14, with nearly 50 students still unaccounted for.

13:18Final short break, but we'll be right back with more from the south.

13:21Don't go away.

13:29Welcome back.

13:50The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, announced Friday its willingness to release Israeli prisoners and proposed as an independent Palestinian administration for the Gaza Strip.

14:00The statement was in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal of a ceasefire agreement in the Enclave, in which the Palestinian movement also affirmed it was prepared to immediately enter into negotiations to discuss the details of the exchange.

14:15Furthermore, the movement stressed that the political and territorial future of the enclave must be addressed, within an inclusive Palestinian national framework in which the movement will be part of, while it does not mention the disarmament of the movement.

14:29Hamas' response comes amid an increase of Israeli attacks against the Gaza Strip, and of the number of civilians killed by the Zionist regime.

14:38The 20-point proposal to end the genocide in Gaza agreed on between the United States and Israel was partially accepted by Hamas on Friday, with some rejections and counter-proposals by the Palestinian resistance movement.

14:54Let's see the key points of the proposal.

14:57The plan calls for the conflict to end immediately, once the two sides agree to the proposal, although it does not promise the recognition of Palestine as a state.

15:09It also states that all hostages will be released.

15:12The plan also promises that Hamas members who commit peaceful coexistence and decommission of their weapons will be given amnesty and that full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip.

15:24It also proposes that Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic and political Palestine community,

15:35that Hamas and other factions will not have any role in the governance of Gaza and that Israel will not occupy or annex the enclave.

15:44Meanwhile, the Israeli regime is restricting access to the north of the Gaza Strip, preventing Palestinians from moving freely.

15:56The Zionist occupation is aggravating the situation of thousands of families by preventing their free movement and forcing them to travel long distances on foot.

16:05Humanitarian conditions are becoming more difficult every day, due to shortages and the blockade of the entry of basic necessities.

16:12In this regard, social human rights organizations are renewing their demands for the opening of humanitarian corridors and the guarantee of free movement for goods for civilians.

16:25For its part, the United Nations organization considers that Gaza Strip is not a safe place for Palestinians due to the ongoing Israeli siege.

16:38The spokesperson for the United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF, said that it was ridiculous to describe the southern part of the Palestinian enclave as a safe area, given that Palestinians live under constant siege by Israel.

16:51He also emphasized that the conditions in which civilians are living in shelters are terrifying.

16:57This is exacerbating the humanitarian crisis amid the recent attacks by the Tel Aviv regime on the coastal enclave.

17:04On the other hand, more than one million people in Yemen marched Friday in support of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

17:19The demonstrations, which were held in the city of Sana'a and in 14 governments, reaffirmed their continued support for the Palestinian people, under the slogan,

17:28Rejecting the Zionist-U.S. Conspiracy and standing with Gaza until victory.

17:33The protesters pointed out that solidarity with Palestine and its struggle strengthens as the Israel conspiracies intensifies.

17:40The Yemeni authorities called on the war communities to join their efforts to save the Palestinians and the honor of humanity and also to enmask the Zionist and American criminals.

17:57Syrian and Palestinian activists also protested Thursday in rejection of the Israeli aggression against the flotilla, headed for the Gaza Strip.

18:05The mobilization was called by the international network All-Gaza, All-Palestine, and the Syrians with Palestine Collective.

18:12Activists described the acts as piracy, the actions of the Zionist navy in international waters, which illegally detained the humanitarian flotilla.

18:21The demonstrators called on the international community to take actions to protect the civilian population in Palestine,

18:27and the flotilla volunteers after Israel's flagrant violation of international law.

18:37Like this, we have come to the end of this students brief.
