00:00Venezuela firmly and categorically rejects the US designation of the non-existent Cartel de los Soles as a terrorist organization and the rehashing of a lie to justify intervention.
00:20Mexico warns of a possible invasion of its embassy in Peru following statements by Peruvian President José Geriz.
00:34And the Israeli army killed four Palestinians and left to several injured in separate attacks on civilian areas in the Casa Strip on Monday.
00:47Hello and welcome to From the South. I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Habana, Cuba. We begin with the news.
01:10Venezuelan President NicolĂĄs Maduro highlighted the participation of the Venezuelan people in the fourth public consultation, 2025.
01:17The Venezuelan President NicolĂĄs Maduro highlighted the participation of the Venezuelan people in the fourth public consultation, 2025.
01:29The Venezuelan President congratulated the community leaders and the record turnout at the event in which 5,336 community circuits from across the country participated.
01:40In this regard, Maduro emphasized that the people clearly expressed their power, conscience and commitment by choosing their community projects with the goal of receiving immediate solutions without intermediaries.
01:56The fourth public consultation was held as part of the seven transformations promoted by the executive for the welfare of the population.
02:19In Venezuela, the country hosted the world's symposium of neighborhoods with the participation of international representatives.
02:26At the Teresa Carreño Theatre in the capital city, Executive Vice President Delsi Rodriguez led the opening of the Congress, which welcomed international guests such as Japanese architect Riken Yamamoto and other special guests.
02:40The purpose of this meeting was to develop and deepen the guidelines for the transformation of communities within the framework of popular participation and self-determination of peoples.
02:51During the opening of the event, Rodriguez described as ridiculous the designation by the United States of the non-existent Cartel de los Soles as a terrorist organization.
03:02Today, Marcos Rubio released another rehash, claiming that the Cartel de los Soles is now a terrorist organization. Ridiculous. They are ridiculous repeating themselves over and over again. And that is why they are failing. What a joke. This drug trafficking story. What drug trafficking.
03:28If they really wanted to come back to drug trafficking, they would have to go to Ecuador and look for it in the Presidency of the Republic, which has the main company for exporting cocaine to the world, hidden in its factories for distributing bananas and plantains.
03:4870% of the cocaine.
03:4970% of the cocaine exported comes from Ecuador.
03:55And the Venezuelan government strongly rejected on Monday the new threats and aggression from the United States government.
04:02In an official statement shared by Foreign Minister IvĂĄn Gil, the Bolivarian government emphasized it categorically, firmly and absolutely rejects the new and ridiculous works by the Secretary of State of the United States of America, Marcos Rubio, who designates the non-existent Cartel
04:21Cartel of the Sons Cartel de los Soles as a terrorist organization, thus repeating an infamous and vile lie to justify an illegitimate and illegal intervention against Venezuela under the classic US format of regime change.
04:36Moreover, Caracas assured this new manoeuvre will follow the fate of previous and recurring attacks against our country failure, adding that the Venezuelan people are more united and cohesive than ever, attending to national life in all its dimensions and looking forward to the Christmas festivities.
04:55The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela thus urged the US government to rectify this erratic policy of aggression and threats, which is strongly rejected by the US people themselves, affects the development of the Caribbean peoples and in no way contributes to a true and genuine fight against illicit drug trafficking.
05:16In this context, the Bolivarian alliance for the peoples of America also rejected the lies and slander of the US State Department against Venezuela.
05:31In an official statement, Alba categorically rejects the latest action by the US State Department, which designates the non-existent Cartel of the Sons as a terrorist organization,
05:42and falsely links it to the Venezuelan state in order to justify an aggression against the South American country and force a change of government.
05:51Alba added that the US policy of aggression and threats against the sister nation of Venezuela has been overwhelmingly and almost unanimously rejected by the international community,
06:03as well as a broad by a broad sector of world public opinion, including the majority of the US people who have spoken out in favor of peace and against the new interventionist adventures.
06:16Alba reaffirms its unconditional support for the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, led by President NicolĂĄs Maduro, and reiterates its commitment to truth, peace and the sovereignty of peoples.
06:29And in this context, we go to the US.
06:39Citizens have expressed their discontent with the Trump administration's threats and military actions against Venezuela.
06:45A new CBS News GGOV poll shows that 70% of US citizens are opposed to any military action in Venezuela.
06:55The survey, which took place between November 19th and the 21st, also showed that 76% of respondents said that the White House has not yet made clear its intentions against the Bolivarian nation.
07:09Meanwhile, 75% demanded transparency rather than action and bombs and are therefore calling on the Trump administration to show the vessels that were attacked and allegedly carried drugs.
07:24Regarding Venezuela's situation in the face of the constant threats from the United States, Mexican President Claudia Sheyman spoke out against interference and interventionism and in favor of self-determination for peoples as well as the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
07:49You know our opinion, and also the constitutional opinion, because that is what our constitution says.
07:58We will always be in favor of self-determination for peoples peaceful resolution of any conflict and non-interference and non-intervention.
08:06We do not agree with that. Therefore, dialogue and peace must always guide us.
08:11And on Sunday, from the port of Veracruz, Mexican President Claudia Sheyman also called on the people to be alert to defend the integrity of the nation against any attempt at foreign interference.
08:28During her speech at the ceremony commemorating 200 years of Mexican independence, the head of state noted that conservative sectors of the country have historically resorted to seeking support beyond their borders.
08:41Let's recall that in recent months, conservative sectors in Mexico and the United States have been pressuring for what they call the more aggressive response to drug trafficking.
08:51In this scenario, the President took advantage of a historical recount to point out that interventionist aspirations have been part of the strategy of certain political sectors in the country.
09:03On Sunday, several Democratic congressmen confirmed that they had such protection from law enforcement agencies after receiving death threats following accusations of
09:32sedition by US President Donald Trump. According to statements made to various media outlets, some legislators have filed criminal complaints because they and their families have received death and bomb threats after President Donald Trump arbitrarily charged them with the crime of sedition.
09:50This happened after several Democratic lawmakers urged members of the armed forces to not obey illegal orders in reference to the deployment of military contingents in several states of the country.
10:02And also in the Caribbean, especially off the coast of Venezuela. In this scenario, the head of state suggested that this congressman should be executed, hanged or arrested.
10:14And now we have a short break coming up. We'll be right back. Don't go away.
10:26The country warns of a possible invasion of its embassy in Peru following statements by Peruvian President Jose Heri.
10:38President Claudia Sheyman condemned Lima's provocative actions against her embassy for granting asylum to former Peruvian chief of staff Betsy Chavez. The head of state argued that the right to asylum is recognized by international law and therefore interfering in the
11:08in her diplomatic space would constitute a violation. Peruvian president Jose Heri threatened to force his way into the Mexican embassy as happened in Ecuador in 2024.
11:20On Sunday, Honduran President Xiomara Castro arrived in Mexico to begin an official visit and meet with her counterpart Claudia Sheyman. This is the Honduran president's second visit to Mexico since she attended the inauguration of her counterpart on October 1st, 2024.
11:45During her stay, the two heads of state are expected to address key issues on the bilateral agenda such as migration, economic cooperation, regional development and environmental challenges affecting both countries.
11:58According to the foreign ministry, Mexico and Honduras seek to strengthen common goals focused on cooperation, development and coordinated actions in the region, issues that will be discussed in detail during the high-level meeting.
12:12In other news, on Monday, the Supreme Court of Brazil unanimously confirmed the preventive detention of former President Jair Bolsonaro due to the repeated violations of precautionary measures.
12:32In this scenario, Ministers Alexander de Moraes, Flavio Dino, Cristiano Sanin and Carmen Lucia voted in favour of maintaining the detention.
12:41In this regard, the Minister de Moraes cited the flight risk and the violation of the electronic ankle bracelet as reasons for the decision.
12:50In addition, the Minister reiterated that there is no doubt about the need to convert house arrest into preventive detention, citing the need to guarantee public order and ensure the application of criminal law.
13:03Bolsonaro has been detained at the federal police headquarters in BrasĂlia since Saturday after the identification of a flight risk.
13:10In other news, on Sunday, Colombian authorities reported the rescue of 17 minors linked to the Orthodox Jewish sect left a hoard in Antioquia in the northwest of the country.
13:31The Colombian authorities indicated that there were international alerts for possible crimes committed against children within this community.
13:40They also stated that some of the minors have been kidnapped, which would open up the possibility of a case of human trafficking under religious protection.
13:49left a hoard founded in the 1980s has been investigated in several countries.
13:54For example, in December 2024, more than 160 children linked to the cult were rescued in Guatemala and several of its members are facing legal proceedings for crimes including human trafficking and other offences.
14:08Now we go to Spain.
14:18On Monday, Spain's Attorney General Ălvaro GarcĂa Ortiz resigned after the Supreme Court found him responsible for leaking the tax fraud confession of the partner of the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel DĂaz Ayuso.
14:31In a letter, the prosecutor stated that his decision came from profound respect for judicial rulings and claimed to have served with loyalty and a commitment to public service.
14:44His departure leaves uncertainty as two who will definitely assume the headship of the prosecutor's office while responsibility temporarily falls to the Deputy Prosecutors of the Supreme Court, Mari Ăngeles SĂĄnchez Conde.
14:59The sentence, which includes two years of disqualification and a financial fine, keeps the prosecutor's career in suspense while the full text of the sentence is awaited.
15:20Now we have a second show break coming up. Don't go away. We'll be right back with more from the South.
15:29The South.
15:42The South.
15:55Welcome back to From the South.
16:02China denounced Japan's plans to deploy missiles on an island near Taiwan.
16:07Foreign Ministry's focus woman Mao Ning says the plan is a deliberate attempt to create regional tension and trigger a military confrontation.
16:16Let's listen.
16:16Japan's deployment of offensive weapons on the southwestern islands adjacent to Taiwan is a deliberate attempt to create regional tension and provoke military confrontation.
16:29Coupled with Prime Minister Sinei Takeuchi's erroneous remarks on Taiwan, this trend is extremely dangerous and warrants high vigilance from neighboring countries and the international community.
16:38We stay in China. On Sunday, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region authorities announced the immediate suspension of all official contacts with the Consulate General of Japan, as well as the cancellation of a student exchange program.
16:58The decision comes after the Japanese government issued statements suggesting the possible use of force in the event of tensions related to Taiwan.
17:09These statements were considered by the Hong Kong authorities to be interferential and a source of regional uncertainty.
17:16The measure also includes the suspension of economic forums and high-level meetings, as well as new security alerts and adjustments to educational programs.
17:24The Hong Kong government also reported that it will evaluate new restrictions if external pressure on Taiwan intensifies.
17:32Now let's talk about Palestine.
17:47On Monday, the Israeli army killed four Palestinians and left several injured in separate attacks on civilian Aryans in the Gaza Strip on Monday.
17:56The Palestinian authorities warned about new violations of the ceasefire deal established on October 10.
18:02The number of fatalities has exceeded 340 since that date, and in this context, south of the Gaza Strip,
18:09the Zionist forces attacked a group of Palestinians with drones, killing two young people.
18:14Meanwhile, in northern Gaza, two other people were targeted by a Zionist fire.
18:18The Israeli offensive continues to devastate the enclave, already reduced the rubble after two years of continuous attacks.
18:27On Monday, thousands of Lebanese marched in the city of Beirut to condemn Israel's ongoing aggression against the country.
18:42The protesters gathered on Hamra Street in the capital to denounce U.S. interference in the country's affairs
18:48and to reject the violation of the agreement reached with Israel in 2024.
18:54The participants reaffirmed their right to resistance by raising their voices against Israel's aggression and violation and warned as well of the real danger of occupation.
19:04In this regard, they emphasize that the armed struggle of resistance is the main shield of sovereignty in the country.
19:11Let's recall that the protests followed an Israeli airstrike on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Sunday
19:17that killed Hezbollah's senior commander, Haitham Ali Tabatai, along with several other people.
19:24Meanwhile, on Monday, Egyptians voted in the second phase of parliamentary elections as authorities annealed first-round results in about two dozen constituencies over alleged violations.
19:46The first stage of voting took place November 10 and 11 in 14 provinces, including Giza and the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria.
19:55Regarding this first round, there were widespread reports of violations prompting President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to order a review of the incidents.
20:04A total of 568 seats in the lower chamber are up for grabs, with over 2,500 candidates running as independents
20:15and with the new parliament set to be sworn in before the current chamber's term expires in January.
20:21And also in Guinea-Bissau, the vote count is underway following the presidential and legislative elections held on Sunday.
20:38In this scenario, President Umaro Sissoko Mbalo is seeking a second term.
20:43Mbalo is a former army general who came to power in 2021 and has the backing of a political coalition of more than 20 groups.
20:52If he wins, Mbalo would become the first president in three decades to achieve re-election in Guinea-Bissau.
20:58There are 12 candidates competing in the election, and to win, a candidate needs more than 50% of the votes.
21:05Otherwise, a run-off election will be held.
21:08Let's recall that the election process is taking place amidst tensions caused by multiple coup attempts in the country.
21:26And like this, we have come to the end of this news brief.
21:29For Telesur English, I'm Alejandra Garcia. Thank you for watching.
21:38I'll see you next time.
