00:00Left-wing presidential candidate Janet Hara and far-right and Jose Antonio Kast head to Chile's run of elections, after almost 83% of the votes counted.

00:20Novoa loses the Ecuadorian people said no, in all four questions in the referendum proposed by the president, in a direct rejection of his government and policies.

00:35In Palestine, excavation crews returned empty-handed from the eastern outskirts of Gaza City on Sunday, after a full day of searching for the last three remaining bodies of Israeli hostages.

00:49Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm Sophie Fernandes from Nadella Sur Studios in Havana, Cuba. We'll begin with the news. Stay with us.

01:13Left-wing presidential candidate Janet Hara slightly leased the polls.

01:17In Chile's general elections, followed by far-right Jose Antonio Kast.

01:22With almost 83% of the votes counted, had elites with 26.7%, while Kast has 24.1%.

01:29Votes candidates will face off in the presidential runoff to be held on December 14th.

01:34In third place is Franco Parisi, with 19.5%, who ran his campaign from abroad because he was subject to a restrictive order from failing to pay child support for his two children.

01:46In addition, Chileans will also preview all seats in the chamber of deputies, and 23 of the 50 senators, with results pointing to an advantage for the ruling unity for Chile party.

01:57The senatoriales will probably entre more tarde, and one of the big ones is Valparaiso, because they will close more later.

02:04Meanwhile, in Ecuador, the first preliminary results released by the National Electoral Council showed rejection in all four questions of the popular consultation and referendum.

02:19With more than half of the votes counted, the largest cap is in the referendum on drafting a new constitution, where the no votes lead with 60.8%.

02:28On the elimination of the ban on foreign military bases, the no vote stands at 59.1%.

02:34Meanwhile, on the reduction of the number of legislators in the National Assembly and the public financing of political parties, the no vote has a majority of 56.7% and 52.8% respectively.

02:47The public scrutiny is being carried out with the presence of our representatives and social and political organizations, as well as national and international observers.

02:57Although voting has concluded, the transmission of results will begin at approximately 7 o'clock p.m.

03:11This is because the polling stations must classify, count, and generate the records so that they can subsequently be processed and published.

03:21The National Electoral Council is making the website, the CNEAP, and the digital repository available as official media for following the results of the 2025 referendum and popular consultation minute by minute.

03:43It is important to emphasize to the public that it is necessary to update the CNEAP on mobile devices.

03:54In this regard, we reiterate our call to political and social organizations, observation missions, the media, and the general public to stay informed through the institutional media of the CNE.

04:11The only institution responsible for announcing the results.

04:18For her part, the President of the Citizens' Revolution Party, Luisa González, pointed out that the result of the referendum marks the unity of the Ecuadorian people in rejecting Daniel Noah's neoliberal measures.

04:29And today, with that vote, it is clear that the security of the state and the future of this country does not depend on a constitution that they want to change to make Ecuador the Novoa Corporation.

04:44It depends on a government that knows how to work, that knows how to work with conscience, with love, for the country, and not for its pocket or for its corporation.

04:56And in the fight against crime and the mafias, they say that it is the constitution that does not allow them to control the mafias.

05:05When the prisoners have come out dressed as a military by the main door, when they inaugurate a maximum security prison of 35% to make a show, and they make fun of us, when they have just captured people with the same constitution that has shown that what they are looking for is to manipulate us.

05:26But the Ecuadorian people react and makes up and says, Novoa, no, this country is dignified people.

05:41After the results of the Ecuadorian national referendum, the President of the Citizens' Revolution Party, Luisa González, granted an exclusive interview to all multimedia platforms following the management of current Ecuadorian President Daniel Novoa.

05:54My analysis, I'm not seeing, really, to go straight to a proper way to the Ecuador.

06:01I'm not seeing any sides of the Novoa conducting in a proper way to the homeland.

06:09It doesn't have a proper team.

06:11And the people that is in front of different administrations, like, by example, the Interior Ministry, which depends on the security of the state,

06:21is not doing a good use of the resources and environment.

06:25And he barely has used a full percent of the budget.

06:28And he doesn't have a strategic acknowledgement, the minister in front.

06:34And I have to say, it's just Bachelet doesn't have the experience, the technique, the knowledge meant about the security of the state is surrounded by friends, but not experts in a country as Ecuador with the violence levels being the second, the violence, the violent, the more violent in the world.

06:55Babies from nine months to two years has been a murder in the hands of violence.

07:02He needs people with a lot of experience.

07:05And we're not having that as a country now.

07:07And we need Ecuador to move forward.

07:10And in a government as the Novoa, we'll have to change all the cabinet and get around the people with experience.

07:17And we're not seeing that in a short time.

07:19During their interview, Luisa Gonzalez highlighted the wrong use of the budget and how it affects the health and education sectors.

07:26There are millions of dollars spent in public relationships, into buying, voting.

07:34There's no one as proper strategy for the conducting of Ecuador.

07:38And there's a lot of things to use this money from the public.

07:42And it's not being used inefficient.

07:45They're not doing the proper use.

07:48But on the top of that, to pay the debt of the dialysis unit, we have more than 1,000 of renal patients in the dialysis clinics.

08:02And the next could be also to fix the educational infrastructure.

08:07We have more than 4,000 young adults that go out of the educational system.

08:14And we know now that the 60% that the criminal bans are formed by young persons to rescue them is fundamental.

08:25We could have get the medicines to save life from the Ecuadorians.

08:30Almost a half of the population is from poverty to extreme poverty, going to the public hospitals.

08:35And as a result, we don't have even syringes.

08:38There are no meds.

08:39That's the proper use of the resources.

08:42The infrastructure from the streets, we have more and more debt by traffic accidents because of the infrastructure.

08:51The roads and the state highways are reducing.

08:54The 60% fail and more.

08:58We have more ideas of investment, but they don't know how to manage the state.

09:03They only know about propaganda.

09:05And that's why the entire Ecuador is saying no to Ecuador.

09:10It's saying against it.

09:12And it's an abrupt fail what this government has now after this whole investment into the campaign.

09:21And now, we have a short break coming up.

09:23But first, remember to join us on TikTok at Telezor English, where you will find news in different formats, news updates and more.

09:30Stay with us.

09:42Welcome back to From the South.

09:49At least 12 people died and another 10 got injured after a bus fell down a hill on the Ecuadorian-Andean South.

09:56The accident was registered in the province of Bolívar, specifically at the height of Simiatúk village.

10:02According to the Red Secretariat, the accident occurred due to the transport unit overturning.

10:08The bus participated in two-and-biz while traveling through the highway connecting the cities of Guaranda and Ambato,

10:16according to the confirmation offered by the ICO 911 emergency service.

10:21This kind of incident highlights the traffic accidents among the main causes of deaths in the country,

10:27being that for 2024, there were registered more than 21,000 crashes of this nature.

10:38Moving on to the United States, on Sunday, firefighters based at Southeastern Texas battled a blaze at a decommissioned power plant

10:47that sent large plumes of smoke into the air.

10:50Local officials warned the area residents to avoid the smoke.

10:55The fire broke out at the decommissioned plant in the Texas city of Galveston County, around 2.30 a.m. local time,

11:02and 50 to 60 firefighters from several departments in the area were on the scene through the day.

11:08By late afternoon, all five cooling towers at the plant that was decommissioned in the 1990s had burned down and collapsed.

11:14So far, no injuries have been reported.

11:18In Palestine, excavation crews returned empty-handed from the east and outskirts of Gaza City on Sunday,

11:34after a full day of search for the city of Galveston County.

11:37In Palestine, excavation crews returned empty-handed from the east and outskirts of Gaza City on Sunday,

11:42after a full day of searching for the last remaining bodies of the Israeli hostages.

11:47Egypt deployed excavation experts and equipment, scored by the International Committee of the Red Cross,

11:53to assist in the recovery mission, but progress has been slow.

11:58Under the terms of the U.S. Bookard VI fire on October 10,

12:02Israel is to return 15 Palestinian bodies for every Israeli handed over.

12:06The Hamas resistance movement has so far returned the corpses of 25 hostages,

12:15leaving three bodies still unaccounted for.

12:18The final remains are believed to be buried deep beneath the rubble,

12:22created during Israel's two-year offensive on Gaza.

12:25Meanwhile, the World Health Organization describes delays in critical medical evacuations as a death sentence,

12:39which have already killed more than 900 patients in the Gaza Strip.

12:43The WHO reported that over 900 patients died in the Gaza Strip due to delayed medical evacuations

12:49to treatment centers outside the territory.

12:51According to the United Nations Agency, approximately 16,500 patients are still waiting for approval to travel for treatment,

13:00including 4,000 children in critical condition.

13:03Since October 2023, Israeli bombings and airstrikes have destroyed Palestinian homes, hospitals and water networks throughout Gaza,

13:12leaving the infrastructure of the Palestinian territories in ruins.

13:16In other news, Lebanon president Joseph Aoun has asked the foreign minister, Joseph Raigi,

13:30to file a complaint against Israel for building a wall inside Lebanese territory.

13:35The president's office said Saturday the complaint should include a statement from the United Nations Peacekeeping Force, UNIFIL.

13:43UNIFIL, which is deployed along the border, reported on Friday that the Israeli army has erected a wall southwest of the Lebanese village of Yaroum.

13:52The wall crossed the borderline, rendering more than 4,000 square meters of Lebanese territory inaccessible.

13:58UNIFIL informed the Israeli army and requested the wall's removal, stating it violates a United Nations Security Council resolution and Lebanon's severity.

14:07Moving on to Africa, in the southeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

14:21At least 100 people died after the collapse of an artisanal copper mine in the town of Mulondo.

14:26Artisan Miners Association confirmed the death toll of 100 and reported dozens missing.

14:32While the official version attributes the collapse to heavy rains, civil organizations alleged that soldiers guarding the site opened fire on the miners, causing the collapse.

14:42Also, the Minister of Interior, Lua Lava, Roy Kaumba, confirmed that search operations are continuing to establish a definitive toll of victims.

14:51In the United Kingdom, hundreds of tons of waste has been dumped in a field near Kildon in Oxfordshire.

15:14Footage from Sky News shows a mountain of rubbish, measuring at least 60 meters long, 15 meters wide and 10 meters high.

15:23Local authorities say they believe the cost to remove the waste would be over their entire budget, and that the dump's proximity to a river might cause an ecological disaster.

15:33Friends of the Thames, a charity which promotes cleaning up waterways, said the illegal rubbish dump was created by an organized crime group.

15:41This side of the waste pile is adjacent to the A34, a busy road running through cities including Oxford and Birmingham.

15:48It's of epic proportions, this pre-shredded waste, which has obviously been highly well organized, is now leeching into the river and into the earth around the river, and it's a massive ecological disaster.

16:09Meanwhile in Japan, the Minamida, a volcano in Sakurajima, in the southwestern area of the archipelago, erupted on Sunday.

16:18The volcano swept a column of smoke and ash thousands of meters into the air.

16:22It is the first eruption from the crater since October last year.

16:26Authorities issued an ash fall alert from the surrounding prefectures of Kumamoto, Kagoshima and Miyazaki.

16:33Sakurajima, about 1,000 kilometers southwest of Tokyo.

16:38Minamida is one of Japan's most active volcanoes.

16:42It used to be an island until a lava flow created a land bridge to the Osumi Peninsula during an eruption in 1914, killing 58 people.

17:00In other news, tens of thousands of Filipinos gathered Sunday in Manila, in the largest rally so far, to demand accountability for a flood control corruption scandal that has impacted four powerful members of Congress and top government officials.

17:14Following the discovery that thousands of flood defense projects across a typhoon-prone country were substandard, incomplete or non-existent, various groups protested.

17:25The Philippines has lost 15.09 billion dollars to corruption in flood control projects over the last two years.

17:32Government engineers, public works officials and construction company executives have testified in hearings that members of Congress and officials at the Department of Public Works and Highways took hitbacks to win contracts.

17:45Moving now to China, the Ministry of Education issued an overseas study alert for Japan on Sunday, urging Chinese nationals to carefully consider plans to study in the country, due to growing security risks and at a deriarding public safety environment.

18:10The Ministry stated a recent rise in crimes against Chinese citizens, Japan's deteriorated public security situation and its unfavorable study environment as the reasons for the alert.

18:23The advisory called on Chinese students currently in Japan and those planning to study there to closely monitor local security conditions,

19:23For Ji, the experience offers something beyond the industry recognition.

19:27Big World focuses on the rawness of every day's survival, which distinguishes the project from a clean, handsome screen persona audience or from associates with Ji.

19:38Taking such a role meant confronting and discarding what comfort zone.

19:43But Ji did not hesitate to challenge his public name.

19:53Also on China on Sunday, the largest penguin parade of the winter season took place in Harbin Polar Park in Harbin, northeast China's Hai Lengjiang Province.
