00:00UN experts denounced that they cover actions and threats of the United States

00:12against Venezuela by allaited its sovereignty and international law.

00:15During a meeting of the Council of Ministers, Colombian President Gustavo Petro denounced

00:23that the United States interventionist actions against the country.

00:27And in Argentina, President Javier Milei enacted emergency laws on pediatric health and university

00:35funding but suspended their implementation and ordered a Congress to determine the sources

00:40of their funding.

00:47Hello and welcome to From the South, from the headquarters of Treasure English in Havana,

00:51Cuba.

00:52My name is Pablo Micheliche.

00:53We begin with the news.

00:54UN experts denounced that the cover actions and threats of the United States against Venezuela

01:00violate its sovereignty and international law.

01:02According to the experts' conclusion, the military actions of the United States in the

01:07Caribbean region violate the United Nations Charter and constitute a dangerous escalation

01:12with serious implications for international peace and security.

01:16They emphasized that it threatens territorial integrity, including the attempts to impose

01:20regime change in Venezuela.

01:22In this regard, they urged Washington to cease its aggression against the Caribbean and respect

01:27its self-determination.

01:35In this regard, the Foreign Minister of the country, Van Hill, spoke on behalf of the government

01:39to reiterate its position against threats.

01:42The Venezuelan Foreign Minister said, Experts confirmed what we have been saying.

01:46The United States creates enemies to justify a supposed right to defense, resulting in

01:51massacres in the Caribbean Sea.

01:53Ivan Hill also stated that the Bolivarian government, on behalf of President Nicolás Maduro, reiterated

01:58his call for dialogue and respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Venezuela.

02:03The Venezuelan National Assembly proposed Tuesday to call on all parliaments

02:13of the countries of the Caribbean Basin to meet in Caracas to discuss the threat posed

02:18by U.S. military presence in the area.

02:21The motion was promoted by the President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez, who affirmed

02:26that the Venezuelan Parliament had all the necessary legal instruments to guarantee

02:31peace in the nation.

02:32During the Parliament meeting, the lawmakers approved unanimously a draft agreement on the recent

02:38canonization by the Vatican of Dr. José Gregorio Hernández and Mother Carmen Rendiles.

02:44Deputy Jesús Brito informed that Pope Leo XIV had sent a message in which he expressed his

02:49hope that the canonization of Hernández and Rendiles be assumed by all Venezuelans as an opportunity

02:55for their unity as a nation.

03:01And what can be said about the traitors who, fortunately in a minimal way, are calling for

03:16violence, bloodshed, and destruction for our country.

03:22Which is why this Council needs to defend every Venezuelan and their right to live in peace.

03:30The Great Caribbean Parliamentary Meeting is scheduled to take place in the coming days.

03:36And the deputies will be informed so that they can play an important role in all activities.

03:42Likewise, National Assembly Deputy Timoteo Sombrano emphasized that the objective of convening

03:49all Latin American Parliament is to generate unanimous rejection of the threats made by the United

03:54States in the Caribbean.

03:56The legislative world where parliamentary friendship groups are incorporated with the aim of achieving

04:03a statement from our region, Latin America, and the Caribbean, has always been contention towards

04:12the North, and we cannot let it pass.

04:17We have to go to the parliamentary headquarters throughout Latin America and the Caribbean,

04:24and we have to go to the inter-parliamentary organizations that are active in the region

04:29to invite them to invite them to that meeting of the Caribbean basin, and the greater Caribbean,

04:36that is, president, to end our legislature, which we began by confronting Donald Trump,

04:44and a legislature that is the containment and definitive defeat of the empire that seeks to come and

04:51steal, all our natural resources, which are necessary for the energy balance of the entire planet.

05:03The Bolivarian government provided uniform science supplies to the tactical units of the Venezuelan

05:08armed forces. Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez delivered equipment aimed at increasing

05:13the operational capacity of Venezuelan troops in the national territory, as well as guaranteeing the

05:18security, protection, and defense of the people. The Venezuelan minister also reported that comprehensive

05:24exercises have been conducted as part of Operation Independence 200 in all entities of the nation,

05:31with the aim of coordinating and organizing the people in a civil military police union for the defense of Venezuela.

05:41And well, from now on, I also want to show how, as I have already said, we have been carrying out 200

05:54independence exercises, every day. These are comprehensive exercises that we have carried out in the capital,

06:03and in all 24 states, territory by territory,

06:07operational zone by operational zone by operational zone of comprehensive defense.

06:13The Venezuelan Defense Minister emphasized that President Nicolás Maduro democratized the

06:21defense of the nation with the fusion of the popular military and police forces.

06:25We could say that 13 years later, President Nicolás Maduro has placed all matters relating to the

06:36comprehensive defense of the nation in the hands of the people. In other words, he has democratized defense.

06:44How? Well, by creating important instruments, that Bolivarian militia that our supreme commander envisioned,

06:54but which was put into practice by our commander-in-chief President Nicolás Maduro.

07:00There we see it, in full construction, these independence 200 exercises, which we were reviewing for 10 days,

07:09ordered by our commander-in-chief showed us the great creation we have achieved,

07:15the great strength we have achieved and reached in the union of the people, the military, and the police

07:25to bring the entire nation to optimal readiness, the preparation of the people, above all for defense.

07:33And now we have a short break coming up, but first, remember you can join us on TikTok at Treasure English,

07:38where you will find news in different formats, news updates, and much more. We will be right back, stay with us.

07:53Welcome back. In Venezuela Vice President and Oil Minister Delci Rodríguez announced a scientific and

07:59technological plan to boost the national hydrocarbon sector showcasing the capacity of InterVET in

08:05innovation and production. The initiative presented to President Nicolás Maduro highlights locally

08:10developed technology aimed at overcoming U.S. sanctions and reinforcing energy independence. Rodríguez

08:17emphasized the effort of Venezuelan scientists and workers as a symbol of national resilience and

08:23self-sufficiency in petroleum production and refining. Venezuela is advancing its oil sovereignty, overcoming

08:31the effects of the criminal blockade and external threats, and will continue to strengthen the sector

08:36of the Bolivarian economic agenda.

08:44On Tuesday, President Nicolás Maduro received the credential letters from the new ambassadors

08:49designated by the Republic of Cuba and Lebanon. In the zone of Peru Hall, at the Miraflores Ballas,

08:54the President received His Excellency Jorge Luis Mayo Fernández, ambassador-designator of the

09:00Republic of Cuba. This diplomatic event honors the strong roots of cooperation and solidarity forged

09:05by the external commanders Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro. The President also welcomed Her Excellency

09:12Nisrin Bukharam, ambassador-designator of the Lebanese Republic. The ceremony was attended by

09:18Foreign Minister Iván Gil and the Executive Secretary of ALBA TCP, Rander Peña. Both meetings

09:24underlined Venezuela's priority of strengthening ties of cooperation, respect and brotherhood with the

09:30world within the framework of its foreign policy focused on achieving world peace.

09:42Once again in Venezuela, delegations from social movements and political parties from 52 countries

09:48expressed their solidarity as part of the International Day of Support for the Bolivarian Revolution

09:53and the communes that are developing in Caracas. Even organized by the Simon Bolivar Institute,

09:58an anti-imperialist movement seeks to highlight popular power and promote the development of communes

10:05that serve as a model for participatory and protagonistic management, fulfilling the legacy of Commander Chávez.

10:12The International Front of Solidarity with Venezuela brings together countries from Asia, Africa,

10:18Europe and Latin America to discuss the role of women and denounce the agressions of the United States.

10:24It should be noted that the Day of Support for the Bolivarian Revolution will continue until October 22.

10:29Self-management seeks to break with the neoliberal model and oil renterism in order to build from the basis

10:41a new social organization that is sovereign, ecological and participatory. The people through their assemblies

10:46are moving towards self-sufficiency.

10:48The commune always has an assembly-based principle, making all decisions in communal assemblies.

10:54Neighbors in the communal territory discuss projects, choose priorities and plan development

10:59in coordination with the city council. Every decision is subject to popular consultations where

11:04participation is a priority. At the last consultation held on July 27, a project specifically dedicated to

11:12Youth 1, which involves training courses, science, technology and telematics.

11:20Through the INSEE and the communal councils, the community has launched a popular training network

11:24for young people and adults, baking, computer science, urban agriculture and animal husbandry.

11:30Jacqueline has been teaching the art of bread making for six years.

11:35If I'm being honest, they arrive thinking, oh, what is this? Why am I going to cook? And I don't know why,

11:41but the first time they make bread, they fall in love with it. From then on, they start asking

11:45enthusiastically, teacher, what's for tomorrow? What do I have to do tomorrow?

11:50The commune produces a varied diet in a sustainable way. It is distributed directly

11:54to families in the surrounding areas, avoiding speculations and intermediaries and guaranteeing

11:59fair prices in believers. We serve the Fe Socialista commune. Specifically, our focus is on

12:06Zone E, although we also take surplus to other areas of our community, specifically in Zone E.

12:13We serve approximately 1,500 families who are served monthly through the club's structure.

12:20We coordinate with the club's spokesperson so that every product made in the territory

12:24effectively reach the Venezuelan table.

12:27In this space, a circular economy model is practiced that reuses resources and reduces waste.

12:32Everything is utilized. Nothing is lost. The circular economy models allow things that may

12:38otherwise be discarded to be reused. This creates an ecological model that is one of the driving

12:43forces behind our country, where ecology plays an important role. Animal waste is used for fertilizer.

12:50This gives us a surplus and a margin to be able to systematize and still have a wide margin for

12:55distribution. The project has not only transformed the local economy, but also the lives of the youngest

13:01people. Neighbors who came from industrial jobs are now connected to the countryside and food

13:05sovereignty right in the city. I never thought about working in these fields. I was working in

13:13the chemical industry and food processing, but I never thought about working in farming here in Caracas.

13:19I really didn't, and I think it has been a very beautiful experience.

13:29During a meeting of the Council of Ministers, Colombian President Gustavo Petro denounced the United

13:34States' interventionist actions against the country. During the meeting, President Petro condemned

13:39the U.S. actions in the region and their campaign to discredit the national fight against drugs. The

13:45President also declared that Colombia will not support U.S. intervention in the Caribbean,

13:50nor will it lend itself to the murder of young Venezuelans. In this sense, the President denounced

13:56Trump's oil grid in Venezuela and contained the Colombians who want an invasion of the brotherly

14:02country. In turn, the President called on the world to help in the face of U.S. aggressions and

14:08explained the disastrous consequences that an invasion would bring to Colombia.

14:15A Colombian court overturned former President Álvaro Uribe's convictions for fraud and bribery on

14:24Tuesday, setting the stage for further appeals in the case. The ruling was reached after two judges

14:30on a panel of three voted to strike down the verdict against the ex-president, citing

14:35structural deficiencies in the previous ruling, including insufficient evidence. Colombian President

14:41Gustavo Petro denounced the decision and said it granted impunity to politicians who came to power

14:47in alliance with drug traffickers and who unleashed the genocide in the country. Uribe had been sentenced

14:53in August to 12 years of house arrest, a fine of $578,000 and a ban from serving in public office for 100

15:02months and 20 days. Senator Iván Cepeda, one of the central figures in the Uribe case, has already

15:08announced his plans to challenge the court decision.

15:11Through his ex-account, Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated,

15:22the Superior Court of Bogotá repeats history, contradicts the Supreme Court of Justice and asserts

15:27that the judicial interception carried out by a magistrate of the Supreme Court against a criminal,

15:33in which Uribe's voice appears talking about private intimacy. This is how the history of paramilitary

15:40governance in Colombia is covered up. That is, the history of the politicians who came to power

15:47alive with drug trafficking and who unleashed the genocide in Colombia. Now Trump, alive with these

15:53politicians and with Uribe, will seek sanctions against the President who denounced in his life the

15:59alliances between Colombian political power and paramilitary drug trafficking in Colombia,

16:05and he does so with the help of those who help paramilitarism in the country. In the accusations

16:11commissions, they are already seeking those involved in the embezzlement of FOMAC, the coup d'etat,

16:18so the time for definitions has arrived and the one who finds it is not Trump, it is the people.

16:25I await you in the Sede Bolívar Bogotá this Friday to begin the collection of signatures from the

16:30constituent power. And we have a second show break coming up, but before we invite you to visit our

17:00Welcome back. Peru's interim President José Herí has declared a 30-day state of emergency in

17:06metropolitan Lima and the port city of Callao, citing a rise in violence and extortion linked to

17:12organized crime. A measure approved by the country's minister and the sector at midnight on October 22,

17:19allows for military supporting policies and may involve the suspension of certain civil liberties.

17:25While José Herí framed the move as a necessary step to restore public order, critics argued it

17:31reflects a reactive and militarized approach that risks undermining democratic norms without addressing

17:37the root cause of insecurity. The announcement comes amid a broader unrest and political instability

17:44following Herí's recent rise to power. His administration has faced a public backslash over

17:50its handling of protests, which have already resulted in casualties and injuries.

18:01Now in Argentina, President Javier Mille enacted emergency laws on pediatric health and university

18:06funding, but suspended their implementation and ordered Congress to determine the sources of their funding.

18:12The government followed the same pattern as it did with the disability emergency law.

18:17Congressman Esteban Paulón announced the expansion of the complaint for abuse of authority

18:23and breach of public office against Javier Mille, Guillermo Francos, Mario Lugones,

18:27and Sandra Petobello. Although Mille now rejects the allocation of funds, just a few days ago,

18:33Liberty Advances asked the electoral chamber to reprint all the ballots for the October 26 elections.

18:39A request rejected by the judges would have cost the national government millions. On Tuesday,

18:44university union workers at Garaghan Hospital and people with disabilities will once more take to

18:51the streets to protest against Mille's policies. Meanwhile, Argentine opposition deputies will extend

19:00their complaint against the Mille administration under the Emergency Disability Law. The executive branch

19:06specifies that if the law is not approved, it cannot be enforced. Therefore, the funding cannot be

19:12covered. For the part, in the midst of the debate on the 2026 budget, deputies are demanding that the

19:18government incorporate Congress's requests into the legislative process. Otherwise, they will withdraw

19:24their support for the bill. And we have come to the end of this news. Please remember you can find this
