01:33This declaration came after the United States announced on Tuesday that it had attacked a vessel in waters near the coast of Venezuela, killing six people.
01:43In this scenario of growing hostility from the United States in the Caribbean, China rejected any action of interference and call for compliance with bilateral and multilateral legal frameworks.
01:55China opposes the use or threat of using force in international relations and rejects any interference in Venezuela's internal affairs by external forces under any pretext.
02:12China supports the proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a zone of peace.
02:17The declaration of the 33 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean on establishing a nuclear weapons-free zone and opposes any actions that undermine the peace and stability of Latin America and the Caribbean.
02:27China consistently supports enhanced international cooperation to combat transnational crime and opposes the U.S. unilateral so-called law enforcement actions against vessels of other countries that exceed reasonable and necessary limits.

02:47China urges the 8th Russian Energy Week International Forum moves forward in Moscow with the participation of more than 80 countries from around the world.

03:25The space will serve to host debates regarding the challenges facing the Russian and global energy and fuel sector and the exchange of views on its trends and cooperation prospects.
03:36At the Russian Energy Week International Forum, Venezuelan Vice President Delce Rodriguez condemned the West's intention to control energy worldwide.
03:50Let's listen.
03:51Our state of energy is brought to the United States of America and ruled the United States to the United States.

03:55to be able to ensure that their country was freely at the U.S. to the United States and its own interests.
03:56In an audience of this country, the U.S. to the United States must be caught up in the United States—
03:57At the United States and the United States.

13:02now we stay in venezuela although historical records pointed to that jose gregorio hernandez did not
13:08wear a white coat when treating his patients the image of the doctor of the poor remains etched in the
13:14memory of venezuelans where does gregorio's legacy live on today let's find out next to the vargas
13:22hospital in caracas you'll find these two doctors they both joke that the other one looks like jose gregorio
13:29hernandez it is no surprise that jose gregorio studied and practiced medicine in these halls
13:36leaving an indelible legacy in science but also in ethics that accompanies his steps
13:43we are not here for a salary we are here because we love our university because we want and believe
13:47in excellence in other words we are not here for a salary we are here because we believe that
13:52this university will rise it will continue to be number one in latin america just as it is
13:57currently number one in venezuela and that is what we instill in our students
14:01healthcare professionals who are educated under the framework of a humanistic compassionate and deeply
14:06ethical healthcare model a characteristic he passed on to his students why because he told them my
14:16mission is not to train scholars but to train honorable and good men who will always hold the
14:23name of venezuelan highest team and in addition to this that they always care for their neighbors to
14:30those most in need jose gregorio hernandez known as the doctor of the poor was also the driving force
14:37behind experimental medicine in venezuela he introduced the microscope thought medicine through practice
14:43and research we are ever abandoning his vocation for those most in need uniting body mind and spirit
14:54every time before he began treating patients he would play the piano or the violin to call himself and his
14:59patients this is now known as neural music a pioneer in science setting the standards throughout the
15:09region but also with this unique approach to medicine focused on the human well-being which
15:14today inspires every neighborhood doctor not only in venezuela these are the doors that opens for
15:22patients at the comprehensive care center in is not to his hometown jose gregorio hernandez is a living
15:30example for all those doctors who are aware of the need for healthcare because there is a great need for
15:37healthcare and many people who do not have the resources to access private institutions that is precisely
15:45why the jose gregorio hernandez foundations embodies part of the legacy in every prosthesis and rehabilitation
15:50procedure that does enough patients have access to free of charge the work that the mission is doing
15:56is miraculous jose gregorio on one hand and the mission on the other because it is a miracle to
16:04be able to walk again and it is the spirit of dr jose gregorio hernandez that always accompanies us and
16:12makes us do what we do because our daily work is sometimes difficult as we encounter many situations
16:20to feel that light feel that faith and that love especially in what we are doing
16:27and this is reflected in every hospital where a doctor upholds the hope of his patients
16:33wearing the wet coat that identifies the doctor of the poor in the memory of every venezuelan
16:37i speak for how good and noble he was he didn't care that people didn't have money for him to treat
16:45them he was a very noble and good person and he has performed miracles for us we the family are
16:53very devoted to him in fact we worship him we go to church and pray to him we're going to go in
16:59procession we are going to the whole family is going in a bus there doctors will also be waiting for
17:07them at outpatient health centers ready to receive visitors who without distinction will be treated
17:14if they need it it was what he always did and that legacy still remains and that is revolutionary because
17:23i come from a country where doctors get rich from people's pain you could be a millionaire in another
17:28country well no we prefer to treat our patients with ethics and dedication because being millionaires
17:37is of no use to us if we don't have help and these are the future generations who are being
