00:50Hello, welcome to From the South.

00:56I'm Sophie Fernández from La Tela Sur Studios in Havana, Cuba.

00:59We begin with the news.

01:00Stay with us.

01:06In Palestine, the Gaza Strip experienced one of the deadliest Israeli attacks since the

01:22start of the ceasefire between the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and Israel.

01:27Gaza Civil Defense announces the deaths of 27 people due to intense Israeli bombing, raising

01:33alarm about the fragility of the ceasefire in Palestinian territory.

01:37According to the emergency agency, the attacks were concentrated in Gaza City with 14 dead and

01:43in the vicinity of Jan Junis with 13 dead.

01:46This reception of bombing has deepened the despair among the inhabitants, while the number of

01:51Palestinian victims since the beginning of the conflict exceeds 69,513 people, according

01:58to the territory's Ministry of Health.

02:08Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces once again attacked residential areas of the Palestinian

02:12city of Gaza, leaving more than 20 people killed.

02:16Israel launches airstrikes against a building house in displaced people in the in-situ neighborhood

02:22of the Gaza Strip, as well as against refugee tents in the Magwasi area, west of the city

02:27of Jan Junis.

02:28According to the Ministry of Health of the Palestinian Enclave, these attacks left at least 77 people

02:34injured.

02:35It should be noted that his wave of aggression is part of a repeated offensive by Israeli against

02:40the Arab nation, with the aim of illegally appropriating the territory and in flagrant violation

02:47of the ceasefire agreed between the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and Israel.

03:01So, Israel continued its attacks against southern Lebanon in flagrant violation of the ceasefire

03:05agreements.

03:06Israeli-Syanist forces carried out attacks on residential areas in the village of Zuhur.

03:12Authorities have reported no victims so far.

03:14However, civil defense teams are on site in case of any emergency.

03:18According to local media, students from Zuhur, Zerifa and surrounding areas of the Tira district

03:24were evacuated after warnings of possible Israeli attacks in the area.

03:28Since the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel came into effect on November 27, 2024, the

03:34Zionist army has bombed the neighboring country almost daily.

03:42For his part, Lebanon's president Joseph Aoun, defending the national army's resolved to continue

03:47its mission, in the face of influences from suspicious campaigns, inciting speeches or attempts

03:52to plant doubts from abroad.

03:55The Lebanese head of state also highlighted the organization of security forces together

04:00with the military in the pursuit of offenders and in reducing crime in all aspects, including

04:05border protection.

04:07He also expressed his condolences for the falling combat of the soldiers during the pursuit of

04:11truck traffickers in Baalbek and wished a speedy recovery for the injured.

04:22In other news, the alert for extreme malnutrition in Sudan continues amid the ongoing armed conflict.

04:30According to the experts, the nutritional crisis in the country is driven by factors such as

04:34food shortages, disease insecurity and lack of means of substance.

04:40While displacement also plays a significant role in the crisis.

04:43Both authorities reported that more than 70% of the population is acutely malnourished and

04:5035% is severely malnourished.

04:53The serious food emergency is the result of the clashes between the armed forces of Sudan

04:57and the rapid support forces.

05:15In Argentina, the forest fire in Chubut continues to burn, keeping a large operation mobilized

05:21in weather conditions that complicate the progress of fire control.

05:25Firefighters fight to contain fires that have already burned over 70 hectares in Epuyen and

05:31El Bolzón, while strong winds hit Chubut and Rio Negro.

05:35In the face of this, the severe drought that the country is experiencing originally demands

05:40greater prevention at the national level.

05:43Nearly 140 to 150 firefighters are working on containment efforts, in addition to support

05:49staff, for a total of nearly 200 workers mobilized in the area.

05:53The development of the fire continues to be determined by climatic and topographical factors,

05:59under constant monitoring and coordinated work between ground and air teams.

06:10According to Bolivia, heavy rainfall caused severe damage, affecting thousands of families

06:14in several departments of the country.

06:17In recent weeks, the climate crisis emergency has intensified, severely impacted the regions

06:22of La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz.

06:26Also the affected localities have requested support in the face of devastation caused by the

06:29collapse of houses, the loops of crops and the closure of roads, which is hindering relief

06:35efforts and the provision of humanitarian assistance.

06:38In this regard, the tropical region of Cochabamba is in a difficult situation, with nearly 4,000

06:44homes affected by overflows, flooding and heavy rainfall.

06:54And now we have a short break coming up, but first remember you can join us on TikTok

06:58and tell us your English, where you will find news in different formats, news updates

07:01and more.

07:03Stay with us.

07:04Welcome back.

07:04In Venezuela, President Nicolás Moldo denounced that the far right is promoting an international

07:21campaign to render the Venezuelan people invisible.

07:24The President denounced the existence of a campaign promoted by the sectors of the right

07:29that seeks to distort the reality of the country from abroad, especially in northern regions.

07:35The Jero State assured that despite the attempts to protect an image of weakness, Venezuela continues

07:40to consolidate its own democratic and liberal paths, based on popular sovereignty.

07:45In the sense, Moldo highlighted the strengthening of the union between the people, armed forces,

07:50expanding national militia and the police forces, based on popular sovereignty, to consolidate

07:55peace and democracy through the national territory.

07:59President Maduro also emphasized that building a democracy requires time, education and constant

08:08empowerment of the people.

08:12Building a democracy like this takes time, because you have to awaken the people, and

08:17it has taken time to awaken them decades, sometimes centuries.

08:22You have to educate the people, give them values, consciousness, and you have to do it

08:28by empowering them step by step, so that the people, awakened, educated, empowered, and conscious,

08:35can have their own destiny in their hands, and don't depend on anyone else.

08:41Let's not expect anything from anyone but ourselves.

08:44Furthermore, President Moldo called for an end to the genocide and war in the world caused

08:52by the United States Empire.

08:58There were 40,000 indigenous people of the Caracas tribes in the Caracas Valley, in the small

09:05part that you got to know, because now it is greater Caracas, 40,000.

09:11And 80 years later, after a census was conducted, there were 1,800 of them left.

09:19What can you call that?

09:21That's a genocide, that's extermination, that's the truth.

09:26Let's learn from history, the good things and the bad things, and let's tell the empires

09:32of the 21st century, no to war, no to genocide, no to killing.

09:39Humans have the right to live, to exist, and to grow as they wish.

09:53The fascist criminal tries to hide this reality from the war of the North.

10:03Empowered people, millions of leaders in their communities and on their streets, building and

10:13uniting at the grassroots level, the armed forces ready and prepared to continue winning.

10:21The perfect union of the empowered people, the armed forces, the powerful militia in expansion,

10:32and the country's police forces, increasingly better equipped and deployed.

10:39Try to hide the reality that this people has a democratic path and in freedom.

11:04mentioned that the army managed to recover three combatants, but also confirmed the deaths

11:08of at least 20 people, including minors.

11:12Regarding the deaths of the minors, the President acknowledged that the world state has a responsibility

11:16to prevent guerrilla groups and parliamentary groups from recruited minors.

11:21The army's actions are intended to safeguard lives.

11:24The head of state also reported on the seizure of more than 200 firearms, including approximately

11:3020,476 pieces of ammunition for these weapons.

11:46Costa Rica will hold the 506th Jazz Fest 2025, aiming to bring this musical gender to new audiences and to strengthen the country's music scene.

16:29The right to the truth of all peoples. That is cemented our plan with a solid constitutional base,

16:38powerful, which we will defend forever, as we have done over the last 16 years,

16:44under the foundation of the principle of popular sovereignty.

16:51Meanwhile, the candidate for the Libre Party, Rixi Moncada, assured that on November 30th,

16:56the Honduran people will democratically conform to another victory for popular sovereignty.

17:06I have traveled throughout the entire country, all 18 departments, and we are now close to

18:34which may be revised immediately. It should be noted that the decision was made by the judge of

18:40Federal Oral Caller II, Jorge Goririni. The measure comes after the former president received nine

18:46economies simultaneously last Monday.

18:56Moving on to the Dominican Republic, political and social organizations

18:59demanded that the government refrain from any kind of diplomatic or economic aggression regarding

19:04the United States military deployment in the Caribbean waters against Venezuela.

19:09The organizations emphasized the need for the Dominican executive to return to constitutional order

19:15and to base his policies on the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of

19:19other nations. They also rejected the decree allowing Dominican troops to join a military attack on

19:25Venezuela, calling it unconstitutional. In this measure that demanded the country reaffirms its

19:30constitutional course and call for peace, demanding the withdrawn of all U.S. military forces from the Caribbean.

19:45In other news in the United States, President Donald Trump approved the initiative to release federal records

19:51related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

20:43has hit its lowest point in his second term.

20:46The report reveals that Trump's approval rating fell to 38 percent due to citizens discontent with

20:52the cost of living and the disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein files linking him to the case.

20:58The poll comes at a time when the United States president leadership of the Republican Party is
