00:11The national pilgrimage for a sanction-free and peaceful Venezuela continues with citizens
00:15defending their sovereignty from the states of Lara and Monagas.
00:23And thousands of Cubans took to the streets in various cities across the country to demand
00:27an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States on the
00:32island.
00:37And Iran rejected the Arab League resolution condemning its military actions against U.S.
00:42forces and warms of countries in the region of their responsibility in the offensive.
00:53Hello, welcome from the South.
00:54I'm Alberto Matos from De Jesús Studios in Caracas, Venezuela.
00:58We begin with the news.
01:15The fifth day of the national pilgrimage for a sanction-free and peaceful Venezuela is underway
01:20with the state of Lara joining the effort.
01:22The pilgrimage took place in Barquisimeto, the capital of Lara State, and marked a new
01:27stage in the nationwide mobilization that began last Sunday.
01:31In this scenario, people welcomed acting President José Rodríguez along with the President of
01:35the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, expressing their support for this initiative that seeks
01:40to strengthen peace and national sovereignty.
01:43The pilgrimage will travel across the country along three routes until it reaches Caracas on
01:48May 1st.
01:57This pilgrimage must be about healing wounds, enough and ready with intolerance.
02:02Divergence and differences of opinion will always exist.
02:06But they must be resolved with tolerance, without hatred, without racism, without classism.
02:12If there is one thing we must acknowledge about Commander Hugo Chávez, it is that he brought
02:17the poorest and most vulnerable to the decision-making table and told them, become the people.
02:24Become the people's power so that you may take the reins of this country's destiny.
02:33And the acting President also assured that the country achieved food sovereignty after overcoming
02:38difficult times despite the economic blockade.
02:44Today we produce the food that Venezuela consumes, and it is a great achievement to be able to say
02:49this in the face of an economic blockade.
02:53As the President of the National Assembly and Deputy Romero said, we are coming from very
02:57difficult times that should make us politicians reflect, and not politicians as well.
03:04So the January 3rd is never repeated in our history, and so the missiles and bombs never
03:10again fall on our territory.
03:13And the President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez, said that the sanctions have been
03:18a real burden for the Venezuelan people.
03:23We have learned from very painful experiences.
03:26We have endured real suffering.
03:28Sanctions are a real pain for the entire population.
03:32Sanctions are not just a piece of paper.
03:35Sanctions are not just a signature in an office.
03:39Sanctions are a difficulty, an obstacle.
03:43Sanctions are a sick person who does not receive medication on time, who does not receive treatment
03:50on time.
03:51Sanctions are the Venezuelan men and women who have left.
03:58This is a direct consequence of the sanctions.
04:08The pilgrimage continues in Venezuela, at this time in the state of Monagas, where the population
04:13has united to demand the lifting of U.S. unilateral sanctions.
04:16The rally began on Raul Leoni Avenue, where he brought together thousands of Venezuelans to
04:21demand an end to the unilateral coercive sanctions.
04:24In this scenario, the pilgrimage was led by the Minister of Education, Héctor Rodríguez,
04:29along with local authorities in the capital of Monagas, Maturín, where he addressed the
04:33negative impact of sanctions on Venezuelan economy, public services, hospital provision
04:40and social protection system.
04:42People also call for nonviolence and respect for the right to live in a country free from
04:47legal measures that undermine the quality of life.
05:00And as part of efforts to strengthen bilateral relations between Venezuela and Colombia, acting
05:05present as Rodriguez will host or Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro, both nations reaffirmed their
05:11commitment to integration and consolidate their binational integration agenda.
05:15In this regard, let us review how both nations have undertaken various initiatives aimed at
05:20continuing to promote cooperation between the two countries.
05:27Energy is at the heart of the new bilateral fest between the two nations, with a roadmap to
05:32establish an energy agenda based on concrete actions in the areas of gas, clean energy generation,
05:37water, energy infrastructure and electricity cooperation to strengthen binational integration.
05:45To this end, the two countries established high-level working groups in Caracas to strengthen ties in
05:51security, trade, energy and foreign affairs.
05:54This demonstrates, once again, the closeness and joint progress of the two nations.
05:58A fact backed by official figures.
06:02These figures indicate that trade between Caracas and Bogotá reached $1.17 billion in 2025, representing
06:10a 4.1% increase from the $1,135 billion recorded in 2024.
06:18These two Sud-American nations are expected to grow closer through bilateral relations and trade, which
06:23will bring them prosperity.
06:25This is the South-American nation.
06:28Let's now take our first break.
06:29Stay with us.
06:49Welcome back.
06:50Thousands of Cubans took to the streets in various cities across the country to demand
06:54an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States on the
07:00island.
07:01Despite adverse weather conditions, workers, students and retirees gathered in public squares
07:05and workplaces to defend the sovereignty of the Caribbean nation.
07:09In addition, the participants sent a message to the international community and the U.S.
07:13people calling for solidarity and understanding among nations.
07:17This day of mobilization is part of the activities leading up to May 1st, International Labor Day,
07:22a date of great symbolism in Cuba.
07:25In this regard, the island reaffirms its unity and resilience in defense of its project ahead
07:30of the traditional march that brings together millions of people each year.
07:40And in Cuba, the campaign known as My Signature for the Homeland continues as the population
07:45unites in rejecting the United States' criminal measures against the largest of the Antilles.
07:50Via his account on the social media platform, ex-Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez posted,
07:56I attended my signing for the Homeland in my community in another show of unity and popular
08:01support in Cuba for peace and the defense of the socialist revolution, sovereignty, national
08:07independence and the territorial integrity of the Homeland.
08:17In Brazil, thousands of students and workers from the University of Sao Paulo took to the city streets
08:23as part of an indefinite strike that began on April 14th over the improvement in conditions
08:28in the education sector.
08:29The protesters denounced a historic neglect of state education and demanded that the university
08:35administration ensure a fair distribution of the budget.
08:38The main demands of the strike, which has now been underway for 10 days, include delivering
08:43on hiring teachers, as promised after protests in 2023, improving university's cafeterias
08:49and equal benefits between faculty and administrative staff.
08:53The action is part of a wave of strikes affecting more than 50 federal and state universities across
08:58Brazil, putting pressure on the government of Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva for higher scholarships
09:03and decent wages in the education sector.
09:12The university administration has granted a salary increase to faculty, which shows that there
09:19are funds available and room in the budget.
09:23What other sectors are demanding is that part of those resources also be allocated to guarantee
09:29decent working and learning conditions for faculty and students.
09:35I hope this strike is successful.
09:38We all want to defend public universities' research and science.
09:43This means providing better support and infrastructure for all sectors.
09:53That is why we question the university's budgetary priorities.
09:57At the same time, we understand that our main struggle is with the government of the state
10:01of Sao Paulo.
10:03We need an increase in budgetary transfers to state universities.
10:07The Sao Paulo State University receives only the 4% of the state allocation.
10:13And that is not enough.
10:15This figure has remained unchanged since the 90s.
10:19Since then, our university has opened more than 10 new campuses, launched new courses, and
10:27increased student enrollment.
10:28That funding must now be adjusted.
10:33And in Bolivia, thousands of indigenous people and farmers are marching to La Paz to demand
10:39the repeal of Law 1720, recently enacted by President Rodrigo Paz Pereira.
10:45The protest began on April 8th with about 100 people, with numbers growing steadily
10:50to approximately 3,000 protesters to date.
10:53Those who are marching are demanding three things.
10:55The immediate repeal of Law 1720, the repeal of Law against Blockade, as well as legal protection
11:02of the land.
11:03Furthermore, they accused the government of ignoring the people's demands and violating
11:07the constitution.
11:08The protesters will remain in the streets until they receive clear answers from the government.
11:22In other topics, China and Pakistan are deepening their collaboration in the space sector, advancing
11:27joint projects that aim to strengthen science and technology in the region.
11:31Our correspondent in China, Bruno Fossi, with the details.
11:36Hello, comrades!
11:38From Shanghai, here in China, I entered to report that a new stage is unfolding in international
11:45space cooperation.
11:47An agreement signed in February 2025 between China Mained Space Agency and Pakistan Space Agency
11:56has now entered into its operational phase.
12:00Within this framework, two former Pakistani military pilots have been selected as astronauts.
12:08One of them is expected to join Shenzhou 24 mission, scheduled for late 2026 as a payload specialist.
12:19This would mark the first participation of a non-Chinese astronaut in the Tiangong Space Station program.
12:29This development reflects the expansion of China-Pakistan space cooperation within a broader
12:37South-South scientific collaboration, aimed of strengthening the technological capacity and human spaceflight training
12:47outside traditional Western-led space framework, advancing a more multipolar space order.
12:56With these news, from here, Shanghai, we will return with you in the studios.
13:04Thank you, Bruno. Let's now continue with other news.
13:18It took Russia 24 hours to hit 138 Ukrainian targets in its attacks using ballistic missiles
13:24to destroy command posts where foreign mercenaries were stationed and Ukrainian troops.
13:28The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that over the past day,
13:33Russian forces have targeted energy and transportation infrastructure used by Kyiv's forces.
13:38Despite their response, according to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
13:41Russian air defense shot down 10 guided bombs and 413 fixed-wind drones.
13:48The targets, it demonstrates Russian military superiority over Ukrainian capabilities.
13:59Let's take our second break. Don't go away.
14:26Iran rejected the Arab League resolution condemning its military actions against U.S. forces and warns countries in the region
14:33of their responsibility in the offensive.
14:36Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Bagage stated that these actions fall under the right to self-defense,
14:42as set forth in the U.N. charter, and underscored Iran's own varying commitment to those principles,
14:47particularly the use of force and the respect for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations.
14:55Bagage warned that the governments that facilitated the attacks against it bear international responsibility for the consequences of those actions.
15:02Iran reiterated that regional instability is a result of intervention by extra-regional actors and the Israeli occupation.
15:16Iranian Foreign Minister said Abbas Arakshi will begin a regional tour of Russia, Pakistan, and Oman late on Friday.
15:23The tour is aimed at holding bilateral consultations and discussing the current developments in the region,
15:28as well as the latest status of the war imposed by the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran.
15:37Iran.
15:37Via his account on the social media platform, ex-Iranian Foreign Minister posted,
15:41Embarking on a timely tour of Islamabad, Muscat, and Moscow.
15:45Purpose of my visit is to closely coordinate with our partners on bilateral matters and consult on regional developments.
15:52Our neighbors are our priority.
16:01The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayyot al-Assad, Mustafa Khamenei, in a message addressed to the nation on
16:07Thursday,
16:08emphasized that Iranian unity has weakened the imperialist enemy's resolve.
16:12Mustafa Khamenei rejected the false claim made by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding alleged division in Iran.
16:18In this context, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Qut Force, Ismail Ghani,
16:23also released a statement in support of the joint message from the Iranian authorities,
16:28emphasizing the backing of the resistance front and borderless fighters in the battle against the U.S. Zionist enemy.
16:34Regarding the enemy's media war, he stressed that such measures aim to undermine national unity and security.
16:47U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday a three-week extension of the ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon
16:53after negotiations took place in Washington.
16:56In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the extension followed a meeting between Lebanese and Israeli officials in the
17:02White House
17:02that was attended by Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
17:07On the post, Trump also indicated the U.S. intention to be increasingly involved in Lebanon's affairs,
17:14while the Lebanese resistance Hezbollah has repeatedly opposed what it considers one-sided deals with Israel.
17:21For his part, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun emphasized that the talks should not be interpreted as concessions to Israel,
17:27framing them instead as a means to resolve outstanding issues while safeguarding Lebanon's sovereignty.
17:49We are going live to Venezuela, to Caracas, as the airplane is carrying Colombian President Gustavo Petro has just landed.
18:01We are seeing the arrival of the Colombian President, we are seeing the arrival of the Colombian President here in
18:04Caracas in Venezuela,
18:06where the acting President of Venezuela, Del Rodriguez, will hold a meeting with her Colombian counterpart,
18:13as both nations continue to consolidate diplomatic relationships and cultural relationships as this is part of the meetings to carry
18:24out integration plans among Venezuela and Colombia.
18:27Different topics are going to be on the agenda, especially migration, border security, education, culture, environment, health, commerce, industry, tourism,
18:37security, and defense are the main topics that are going to be there on the agenda.
18:43As we were saying, this is just the latest news coming from the airport in Venezuela, where the Colombian President
18:49has just arrived,
18:51and he will later hold a bilateral meeting with the acting President of Venezuela, Del Rodriguez, as we were saying,
18:58as both South American nations continue to strengthen their relationship and continue to move forward in a united manner to
19:04establish security and different agreements to continue to strengthen the relationship between both governments and peoples.
19:10Let's now continue with other topics. We'll have more updates about this important meeting in upcoming news briefs.
19:16Let's continue with Lebanon, as Iran accused Israel of attempting to justify its aggressions against Lebanon, violating the country's sovereignty
19:24and territorial integrity.
19:26Iran's Ambassador and Representative to the UN, Amir Said Irabani, noted that Israel distorts reality and presents itself as a
19:34victim, hiding its violations of international law.
19:37The diplomat emphasized that Tel Aviv has demonstrated that it does not comply with its international obligations, nor does it
19:45cease its serious and continuous violations,
19:48and therefore stressed that a firm stand must be taken against Israeli crimes and violations.
20:03So let's go back to the international airport here in Caracas, Venezuela.
20:07We continue to have images of the arrival of the Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who just landed in Venezuela to
20:16later hold a bilateral meeting with Acting President Del Rodriguez.
20:20Let's go live to the international airport to see the images as this news continues to unfold.
20:27So we are here pending to see the welcoming ceremony of the acting of the Colombian President Gustavo Petro.
20:36So everything is ready, as we are seeing on the screen, how the whole protocol ceremony is ready to receive,
20:46to welcome the Colombian President.
20:48Different high authorities, the Foreign Minister of Venezuela is currently at the airport.
20:53His chief will be leading the welcoming ceremony, as well as the ambassador to the Colombian, to Venezuela, the Colombian
21:00Ambassador to Venezuela.
21:01Both nations have reaffirmed their commitment to continue working for peace, cooperation, and peaceful coexistence in a strategic alliance in
21:13the spirit of Bolivarian Solidarity and Diplomacy of Peace,
21:16which is the kind of foreign policy that Venezuela has been carrying out for the last decades.
21:22So in defense of a sovereign Latin America, we must recall that in Colombia, President Petro has denounced in Colombia
21:32that there was a plot to undermine the upcoming electoral process coming from far-right sectors, Ecuador, and opposition figures
21:42in Florida.
21:42So this is important, the meeting that is today, as it is important to consolidate border security, technical cooperation in
21:50different sectors, as we were saying, in health, industry, commerce, education, tourism, and also as both nations, as they are
21:57very close neighbors,
21:58they continue to reaffirmed their strategy to continue improving the ongoing relations which have been restored, if we call the
22:08relationship, the diplomatic relationship, were restored just a couple of years back when President Gustavo Petro won the presidency.
22:16So, since those years, a bridge, an important bridge of strategic alliance was established by the Colombian President and Constitutional
22:26President Nicolás Maduro as both nations continue to promote the binational agenda and strengthen security in the border area.
22:33So this meeting goes in that direction to continue strengthening that ongoing relation.
22:40If we recall, in 2025, both nations signed a memorandum of understanding for the creation of an economic zone in
22:47that border, a border that is shared for over 1,000 kilometers, and where both Colombia and Venezuela continually come
22:56and go, and there is a live economic activity in that border.
23:00So, new projects and investment projects are expected to be approved as well in different industries, in commerce, in tourism,
23:08in energy cooperation, which is also going to be an important topic that is going to be taken into account
23:14in this meeting that will be held in upcoming hours between Colombian President and Acting President of Venezuela, Dess Rodriguez.
23:23So, Caracas, as you were saying, energy will be at the heart of this new bilateral phase between these two
23:30nations with a roadmap to establish an energy agenda that is going to be based on concrete actions in the
23:38areas of gas, clean energy generation, water, energy infrastructure, and electricity cooperation to strengthen binational integration.
23:47So, to this end, the two countries, as we were saying, establish a high-level working group in Caracas to
23:53strengthen ties in security, trade, energy, and foreign affairs, demonstrating once more the closeness and joint progress of the two
24:02nations, a fact that is supported by official figures.
24:05These figures indicate that trade between Caracas and Bogota reached last year, in 2025, reached $1.17 billion, which represents
24:16a 4.1% increase from the $1.135 billion recorded in 2024.
24:23We must recall that this increase in commerce, this increase in relationship comes following the resumption of diplomatic relations when
24:31Colombian President Petro won the presidency in Colombia,
24:36and alongside constitutional president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, reestablished these diplomatic relations, these relations of friendship and cooperation of both
24:46brotherly people,
24:47and also the homelands of the great liberator of the great liberator of Latin America, Simon Bolivar.
24:53So, I believe almost everything is ready for the Colombian President, Gustavo Petro, to deport the plane.
25:01We're saying as part of his delegation that traveled here to Caracas to Venezuela is already coming down.
25:10delegation that will be holding important meetings with their Venezuelan counterpart as both nations continue to strengthen their bilateral agenda.
25:22So, these are the live images we're saying from the International Airport in Maiketia, Simon Bolivar.
25:30We're saying that it's a broad delegation, Colombian delegation, which is visiting the country,
25:37and with the aim, of course, to continue strengthening that important work agenda that both nations continue to develop.
25:46So, many work agendas were established since yesterday, since Thursday, to work on that bilateral agenda.
25:54An important information we can add about this integration commission, which was a mechanism created in May 2023,
26:04coming from the will and effort of both countries to continue strengthening historic ties of friendship that have existed between
26:13the peoples of Colombia and Venezuela.
26:18So, trade relations, as we were saying, between Venezuela and Colombia continue to strengthen with the 2025 figures confirming the
26:27upward trend in cross-border trade in goods and services.
26:31bilateral trade between Venezuela and Colombia close out 2025 with a positive balance, as we were saying just moments earlier,
26:40over 1.1 billion, representing a 3.3 increase over the previous fiscal year,
26:46according to both the Venezuelan and Colombian Chamber of Economic Integration.
26:53This new increase in economic trade and commerce, which is also going to be one of the main topics in
27:00the agenda, consolidates the recovery trend in trade that began in 2022 with trade flows rising from $741 billion to
27:12$1.1 billion, representing a cumulative growth of 58%.
27:18Venezuela also, as we were saying last year in 2025, created three binational economic zones, strengthening integration along the shared
27:27border, as well as stimulating joint production, creating jobs and consolidating peace in the region.
27:34So, regarding this cross-border trade in 2025, $180.8 million was recorded across the borders between the state of
27:41Tachi and the department of North Santander, while trade between the department of La Guajira and the state of Zulia
27:49amounted to $159.8 million.
27:54So, this is going to be an important encounter between both heads of states, between the Colombian president and the
28:00acting president of Venezuela, Delsio Rodriguez, as both nations continue to strengthen the common agenda, reviewing a deep review of
28:10all the mechanisms, integrating mechanisms that were established since 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025.
28:16So, as both nations, these two globally nations that are united by the spirit of the liberators, Simon Bolivar, are
28:26taking up the flags, the banners of peace and unity and continue to work towards a sovereign Latin America, a
28:35sovereign region, Latin America and Caribbean.
28:38So, different topics, as we were saying, are going to be on the agenda, trade, border security, security, defense of
28:44national sovereignty, the integration of the region of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as with the important concept
28:51that has been upheld by both countries, which is the defense of the region as a region of peace, or
28:58region free of conflicts.
29:01So, both nations, so both nations are going to also be prioritizing all the strategic alliances that have to do
29:06for the shared benefit of both peoples in trade, education, tourism, commerce, as well as security.
29:15So, we are waiting.
29:16So, we are waiting.
29:16So, we are waiting.
29:16We are live.
29:16We are live right now at the international airport in Maiketia, Simon Bolivar, which, with the arrival of the Colombian
29:27president, Gustavo Petro, who will be received here in this particular ceremony, will be received by the highest, by the
29:37top authorities
29:38of diplomacy of diplomacy of the Bolivarian nation, which are here as well, and different authorities are here.
29:44And we already saw the large delegation that accompanied the Colombian president, Gustavo Petro, on board the plane.
29:53We are now waiting for the president, Gustavo Petro, to on board the plane and carry out the official petulary
30:05welcome ceremony here at the international
30:13airport.
30:14So, both countries, which have been united through history by the legacy, of course, of the great liberator of Latin
30:21America, Simon Bolivar, both nations that, in a way, are the homeland of the great liberator.
30:33So, as we were saying, the meeting between the acting president of Venezuela del Rodriguez and Colombian president will be
30:41a step further, another step on the path to continue strengthening the historic ties of friendship that have existed throughout
30:49the years between the peoples of Venezuela and Colombia.
30:52And with the resumption of diplomatic relations in a couple of years past when President Petro assumed the presidency, it's
31:00going to be a key role, of course, for the region and on the bet on the creation of the
31:07multi-power wall.
31:10So, now we are seeing, officially, the arrival of Colombian president, Gustavo Petro.
31:16We are seeing the live images as the president on board the plane and is welcomed by the foreign minister
31:22of Venezuela, Ivan Hill.
