01:30pillar for building a diverse Venezuela the acting president emphasized the importance of continuing
01:35to foster unity among all sectors of Venezuelan society highlighting the need to ensure that
01:40current economic growth translates into social justice and tangible benefits for the people
01:45in this regard she urged the Supreme Court of Justice to promote a doctrine on diversity as a fundamental human
01:51right
01:51on the judicial front Ríguez reported that the amnesty law had benefited more than 9,000 people in just two
01:57months
01:58describing the legal measure as a wise decision to promote reconciliation
02:09and I asked them we then set up working groups you have already engaged with more than 30 diverse sectors
02:15of our country
02:16each of which has a proponent and an opponent and the program essentially acts as a judge though not in
02:25the sense of issuing a verdict
02:27but rather it is the judge that ensures justice is served for that sector and the judge that draws conclusions
02:34about what we must do
02:36and I am here to listen and to ensure that what was agreed upon between the parties even those who
02:42think differently is carried out
02:45so that the fundamental rise of the Venezuelan people can be recognized the program for democratic existence and peace is
02:53a pillar
02:53it is a pillar of the new Venezuela I truly believe that
03:01and in Caracas Venezuela sports and recreation facilities are being renovated thanks to a joint effort by city authorities and
03:07the people's power
03:08in El Valle París a fully renovated multipurpose court with new paving back roads and restored fencing can now be
03:16used for sports and recreation
03:18areas that were previously unused have now been transformed into vibrant gathering of places that allow for health recreation for
03:25all local families
03:26the comprehensive restoration project included the installation of a new playground and a wellness area ensuring decent spaces for sports
03:33and recreation for children and seniors in the area
03:36meanwhile in the briseño and the sector building facades got a purge painted coat and the rules were waterproof
03:44thanks to financial support from the government federal council
03:55moving on to Argentina opposition to president Javier Mila's administration rises over 65%
04:01New polls conducted among 1,200 Argentine reelected discontent with national government's economic policy
04:09which reinforces the fact that Javier Mila's credibility has been under decline
04:1345.5% of those surveyed expressed concern primarily about income, inflation, poverty and national security
04:20issues that continue to plague the population
04:22the administration has been at the center of various corruption scandals causing concern and massive rejection among citizens
04:36and moving now to Brazil
04:37the city council in Rio de Janeiro paid tribute to those fighting for agrarian reform and food sovereignty in the
04:44country
04:44honoring leaders of social movements

05:11and state representative Lucia Marina dos Santos of the MST also
05:23I wanted to say that this medal and above all
05:25this award I am receiving here today is for women
05:28for the women who keep the struggle alive by carrying on the legacy of Kikwina Gonserga
05:32who, in addition to her many contributions, was an abolitionist
05:37today we have embraced, as part of our ideals, the belief that agrarian reform is a struggle against land monopolies
05:49but it must also be a struggle in defense of nature
05:52because if we do not defend it, climate change will continue
05:56tragedies will keep occurring
05:58and people will continue to die every month due to the rains
06:07also in Brazil, hundreds of people protested in southern Minas Gerais

06:16are demanding independent environmental studies and autonomy over mineral processing methods
06:25protesters allege that the extraction of rare earths, which are strategic for the technology and military industries
06:32is being driven by foreign companies without proper consultation with local communities or guarantees of environmental protection
06:38the protest demands the rise to the land and to the site of natural resources amid growing extractive activities in
06:45Brazil
