00:16Student movement in Iran mobilized in support of Venezuela in the face of ongoing U.S. aggressions.
00:25And protesters in Japan are demanding that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takeishi immediately retract her statement about the Chinese region of Taiwan.
00:40Hello and welcome to From the South. I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba. We begin with the news.
00:48In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro asserted that the far right is promoting an international campaign to render the Venezuelan people invisible.
00:57In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro asserted that the far right is promoting an international campaign to render the Venezuelan people invisible.
01:10The President denounced the existence of a campaign promoted by sectors of the right that ceased to distort the reality of the country from abroad, especially in other nations.
01:21The head of state assured that despite the attempts to project an image of weakness, Venezuela continues to consolidate its own democratic and liberal path based on popular sovereignty.
01:33In this sense, Maduro highlighted the strengthening of the union between the people, armed forces, expanding national militia, and the police forces based on popular sovereignty to consolidate peace and democracy throughout the national territory.
01:54The fascist criminal tries to hide this reality from the war of the North.
02:06Empowered people, millions of leaders in their communities and on their streets, building and uniting at the grassroots level,
02:19the armed forces ready and prepared to continue winning.
02:26The perfect union of the empowered people, the armed forces, the powerful militia in expansion, and the country's police forces increasingly better equipped and deployed.
02:42Try to hide the reality that these people have a democratic path and in freedom.
02:53In this context, President Maduro also emphasized that strengthening democracy requires time, education, and constant empowerment of the people.
03:05Building a democracy like this takes time, because you have to awaken the people, and it has taken time to awaken them decades, sometimes centuries.
03:15You have to educate the people, give them values, consciousness, and you have to do it by empowering them step by step, so that the people, awaken, educated, empowered, and conscious,
03:28can have their own destiny in their hands, and don't depend on anyone else.
03:33Let's not expect anything from anyone but ourselves.
03:40And to stay on topic, in the Dominican Republic political and social organizations demanded that the government refrain from any kind of diplomatic or economic aggression regarding the United States military deployment in Caribbean waters against Venezuela.
03:53The organization emphasized the need for the Dominican executives to return to a constitutional order and to base its policies on the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations.
04:05They also rejected the decree allowing Dominican troops to join a military attack on Venezuela, calling it unconstitutional.
04:13In this measure, they demanded the country reaffirm its constitutional force and call for peace, demanding the withdrawal of all U.S. military forces from the Caribbean.
04:31In other news, student movements in Iran mobilized on Thursday in support of Venezuela in the face of the ongoing aggressions perpetrated against it by the government of the United States.
04:42Under the slogan, Hands of Venezuela, the demonstration called by the Islamic Association of Students of the University of Tehran condemned Washington's policies against Caracas.
04:53This way, the students mobilized in the capital of Tehran in front of the Swiss Embassy in the U.S. Interest Section.
05:00The rally joins the demonstrations of support for Venezuela coming from the Persian nation as the country's top authorities have repeatedly condemned the U.S. military deployment in Caribbean waters,
05:12warned about its dangerous repercussions for international peace and security, and called for respecting Venezuela's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
05:21This rally army launched a large-scale invasion in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus,
05:24which is the most important part of the U.S. military forces in the U.S. military forces in the U.S. military forces in the U.S. military forces in the U.S. military forces.
05:28This rally army launched a large-scale invasion in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus and surrounding areas on Thursday, injuring four Palestinians, among them a 13-year-old child.
05:43During the incursion, the Zionist military deployed armored vehicles across multiple neighborhoods, conducting raids in commercial areas, homes and public institutions, and damaging the infrastructure of shops.
06:01The Tel Aviv forces also stormed the old city, firing live ammunition and stun grenades in the roundabout area.
06:17In the aftermath, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society unveiled three of the wounded were shot in the lower limbs, while the child sustained a gunshot wound to the waist.
06:28The assault disrupted daily life across the city, leading to the suspension of schools, universities and municipal services.
06:43The aggression is ongoing. Occupation soldiers are storming numerous shops, assaulting people, and have also raided a mosque and vandalized shops.
06:58Ambulance crews have closed them to prevent further assaults.
07:03The main road, particularly Faisal Street, is closed, and clashes are taking place with occupation soldiers who are firing live ammunition and tear gas.
07:14In Lebanon, an Israeli air attack on the Ayn al-Hilwa Palestinian refugee camp near the southern city of Sudan killed 13 people and left several injured.
07:31The airstrike, which hit the area around the Khalid, being al-Walid mosque in the overpopulated camp, was carried out using missiles launched from combat aircraft, a method associated with targeted killing operations.
07:45In addition to the dead, initial estimates indicated a large number of injured who were transferred to nearby hospitals.
07:52This incident constitutes a significant escalation in hostilities, directly affecting a densely populated area of southern Lebanon and altering tensions along the border.
08:04And now we have a short break coming up. Don't go away, because we'll be right back.
08:16The audio is from a conversation between Lopez and an active member of the Honduran armed forces, mentioned assembly member of the National Party, the National Party, Tomás Zambrano, while addressing a plan to disrupt the elections.
08:40This comes in a context where the far-right opposition continues its attempts to destabilize the political climate ahead of polls, with Liberal Party presidential candidate Salvador Nasrallah traveling to the United States to participate in a congressional hearing on the alleged political crisis in Honduras, reportedly seeking to request a U.S. intervention in the nation's electoral process.
09:04And in this political context on Wednesday from the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula, ruling party candidate Rixi Moncada presented her government plan highlighting its strong constitutional base and its focused on popular sovereignty.
09:25This plan is based on economic justice, security and defense, mega public investment, reform of the justice system, foreign policy, the environment and strategic sectors, social justice, and the right to the truth, the right to the truth of all peoples.
09:55That is where our plan is founded.
10:04With a solid constitutional base, powerful, which we will defend forever, as we have done over the last...
10:10...of President Lula da Silva to Belém, COP30 enters its final stretch and it is hope that with the president's political skills, the program will be finally approved.
10:21And we stay in the Latin American region, but now in Colombia.
10:26During his most recent presidential address, President Gustavo Petro provided details regarding military operations carried out in three departments of the country.
10:39Regarding the attack against Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, FARC dissidents, Petro mentioned that the army managed to recover three combatants, but also confirmed the death of at least 20 people, including minors.
10:54Regarding the death of minors, the president acknowledged that while the state has a responsibility to prevent guerrilla groups and paramilitary groups from recruiting minors, the army's actions are intended to safeguard lives.
11:08The head of state also reported on the seizure of more than 200 firearms, including an approximate of 20,476 pieces of ammunition for these weapons.
11:21Cuba, meanwhile, Cuba is stepping up its efforts to combat the spread of chikungunya and other arboviruses due to the high transmission rates in at least 40 countries worldwide.
11:40The Ministry of Public Health, MinSAP, reported outbreaks of chikungunya and other arboviruses transmitted by mosquitoes and sand flies, which cause intense fever, joint pain, and in some cases, death.
11:55MinSAP officials said that the appearance and spread of the virus is due to global factors, such as climate change, in addition to the high level of urbanization that exists both worldwide and in Cuba.
12:07They also emphasize that they are following the working model of the COVID-19 pandemic, but with products, clinical studies, trials, with health interventions, and will focus on the elderly and children under the age of four.
12:29Now we have a second tour break coming up. Then go away. We'll be right back with more from the South.
12:37Welcome back to From the South. Protesters in Japan are demanding that Japanese Prime Minister Sanaito Keishi immediately retract her statements about the Chinese region of Taiwan.
13:04The protest took place in front of Kyoto City Hall. Protesters chanted slogans such as Taiwan should not be used as an excuse to start a war, and demanding that Takaiishi immediately retract her statements about military intervention under the products of the so-called Taiwan contingency.
13:23The Japanese government invests a large part of its budget in areas related to warfare. This, in the opinion of the protestors, represents a contradiction between military expansion and the real needs of the population.
13:38In other news, the Thai government announced a maximum military alert in response to a new escalation of border tensions with Cambodia.
13:45The Thai administration alleged that the Cambodian side decided to carry out a temporary demarcation in areas disputed by both nations.
14:00According to the Thai Defence Minister, the state of alert authorises troops to issue verbal warnings and fire warning shots if they perceive any violation of the border, as well as the authority to open fire if Cambodian military personnel advance into Thai territory.
14:17In Indonesia, more than 300 people were evacuated from the three villages most addressed from the eruption of Mount Semeru.
14:46Mount Semeru, located in the province of East Java, released scorching clouds of hot ash and a mixture of rock, lava and gas that travelled up to seven kilometres down its slopes.
14:59The National Disaster Mitigation Agency urged people to avoid any outdoor activities despite the fact that no victims have been reported so far.
15:07Similarly, the temporary closure of all access points both on lands and via adjacent rivers was also announced in this context.
15:14We urge local authorities and the military and the police in Lumajang around the Besik Kabokan area to temporarily close all access points that could allow anyone to enter within the 20-kilometer zone or within the 500-meter
15:42buffer from rivers connected to the 500-meter buffer from rivers connected to Besik Kabokan.
15:49And we stay in Indonesia where the death toll from recent landslides caused by torrential rains in the island of Java rose to 23.
15:59Precisely in the southwest of central Java province, a landslide buried more than 50 houses killing four people while search efforts continue for 24 more still missing.
16:10More than 500 rescuers are working in the area as nearly 1,000 residents had to be evacuated to shelters as well.
16:17And in this context, authorities announced that 296 homes will be relocated in the next six months and that each family will receive monthly compensation of 600,000 rupees equivalent to about 36 US dollars until they receive a new home.
16:34Now we go to South Africa. Protesters demand action against the global debt crisis and accountability for climate justice.
16:47Demonstrators projected their demands on the facade of a building where world leaders are expected to meet this weekend for G20 summit in Johannesburg calling for urgent action on multiple environmental issues.
17:01Environmental organizations say that debt is excessively expensive and unfair and is also destroying chances for development.
17:10The G20 host country will urge international financial institutions to provide more aid, a request that is also being made at the global climate talks in Brazil.
17:20Our reality is that all across the world, it's not just in Kenya, in Madagascar, in Morocco, in Nepal or in Indonesia, this is happening across the world.
17:35The 99% are rising up against the oligarchs of the world, against the billionaires of the world and against the multinational corporations which the large superpowers of the world are backing to bully us and to plunder our wealth.
17:49What we are needing is clarity of voice and courage from the world leaders to ensure that we are really secured against hunger, secured against climate catastrophe which is already happening and that we are also assured the dignity of development which we deserve.
18:07Meanwhile in Argentina, the forest fire in Chubut continues to burn, keeping a large operation mobilized in weather conditions that complicate the process of fire control.
18:17Firefighters fight to contain fires that have already burned over 70 hectares in Epuyen and El Bolson while strong winds hit Chubut and Rio Negro.
18:28In the face of this, the severe drought the countries experiencing urgently demands greater prevention at the national level.
18:36Approximately 140 to 150 firefighters are working on containment efforts in addition to support staff for a total of nearly 200 workers mobilized in the area.
18:48The development of the fire continues to be determined by climatic and topographical factors under constant monitoring and coordinated work between ground and air teams.
18:59And also Cuban authorities toured the affected settlements in Santiago de Cuba to further assess the recovery efforts after the passage of Hurricane Melissa.
19:14Provincial authorities accompanied by the member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, Julio Cesar Garcia traveled to towns of Cayo Granma and Caracoles.
19:24The main purpose of the visit was to interact directly with the residents affected by Melissa and to learn about their needs.
19:31In those communities the residents said that despite the situation they have remained united and have shown strong solidarity by helping the most vulnerable neighbors
19:42and in the recovery of the destroyed areas.
19:56And like this, we have come to the end of this news brief.
19:59For Telesur English, I'm Alejandra Garcia.
20:01Thank you very much for watching.
