01:56This agreement represents a significant step toward a region historically affected by imperialist interference on armed conflicts.
02:08In this first official statement, after the announcement of the peace deal in the Middle East,
02:13Israel says it will not withdraw its troops from the occupied territories including Lebanon, Gaza and Syria.
02:19Israel Defense Minister Israel got issued a statement following the announcement of a ceasefire
02:27between the United States and Iran saying Zionist forces will not withdraw from southern Lebanon.
02:33The Zionist minister said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I are leading a clear policy
02:38that determines that the ITF will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria and Gaza
02:44without any time limit to protect from here, the border and Israeli communities against jihadist elements.
02:51Qatar's further justified the expansionist actions of the entity with alleged security concerns adding
02:57that we oppose the army's withdrawal from Lebanon despite all existing pressures and those that will come.
03:03We are committed only to our citizens and to the security of the State of Israel.
03:14In this context, Israel continues its aggressions against Lebanon even though the peace agreement between the United States and Iran
03:21establishes assist to hostilities in all fronts including Lebanon.
03:24According to Lebanon National News Agency, the Israeli occupation forces have continued their attacks across southern Lebanon since early Monday.
03:33Warplanes carried out two air raids targeting the town of Majdad Sun while a drone strike hit the town of
03:40Kofar Tabnit.
03:41Moreover, the Israeli army carried out two strikes on Qiam and drone attacks against Nabatye al-Fakwa.
03:48This comes to prove the Zionist disregard to international law and for the diplomatic efforts that aims to bring about
03:56peace in the Middle East region.
04:07Also keeping up with the Middle East, Lebanon has filed two separate complaints with the United Nations
04:12following the constant Israeli aggressions in Lebanese territories.
04:15In a statement released on Sunday, the Lebanese foreign ministry said it had submitted an official letter
04:20based on a report by Lebanon's National Council for Scientific Research
04:25saying the Israeli military has sprayed the high-burst size glyphosate on several border villages in southern Lebanon in February
04:33of 2026.
04:34This way, Lebanon urged the United Nations to condemn the incident and take immediate steps to prevent similar attacks from
04:40recurring.
04:40The complaints come amid continued tensions along the Lebanese-Israeli border that should come to an end
04:46as per the FACE peace agreement recently announced between the United States and Iran.
04:59In El Salvador, groups of internationalists and social organizations held a solidarity event for Palestine, Iran, Yemen and Lebanon.
05:07They gathered in the historic center of San Salvador to condemn the imperialist actions of the United States and Israel
05:13against the people of Middle East, who are the targets of criminal attacks by Israeli and United States military forces.
05:20The participants pointed out that Tel Aviv and Washington do not want peace.
05:24Furthermore, they stated that they are outraged by the constant attacks on the brutally Palestinian people.
05:32They also condemned the Israeli airstrike against various areas in southern Lebanon and southern suburbs of Beirut, which left at
05:39least a dead 19 injured.
05:47South Africa deported more than 2,500 foreign international over the past week, according to a statement from the country's
05:56Minister of Interior.
05:57According to the South African Authority, 2,745 foreign nationals were deported as part of President Cyril Ramaphosa's commitment to
06:06take a hard line against irregular immigration.
06:09During a press conference, the Minister of the Interior clarified that among those repatriated are citizens from Nigeria, Malawi, Ghana,
06:18Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
06:19The measure coincides with the wave of xenophobic violence led by armed civilian groups who are forcing migrants to flee.
06:32As you know, the foreigners have been for a deadline to be out of the country.
06:37A lot of these guys don't have papers, they're illegal foreigners and some were forced out of their houses, shops
06:45and whatnot.
06:46So they are, as a humanitarian act, the community is here to get the basic essentials, food, clothing.
06:55We are here just maybe to beg other people, maybe they can assist us.
07:01Yeah, because we are suffering, we have children here.
07:04You know this time is winter, we have children, we are suffering.
07:08We don't know how we can sleep here, as you can see.
07:12And in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the first Ebola-related deaths were reported in a displaced person camp.
07:19At the Kamagamba camp, the first deaths of the deceased were reported, raising concerns about the lack of monitoring of
07:26this recent outbreak.
07:27In response to this situation, health co-workers moved to identify people who had been in contact with the deceased
07:34and prevent the spread of the virus.
07:36It is worth noting that the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health were forced to leave the area
07:42due to hostility from residents who,
07:44driven by mistrust of the authorities, have attacked various medical centers.

14:12By the ex-social media platform, Cuba's president Miguel Diaz Canel celebrated the birth of Major General Antonio Maceo of
14:19the Liberation Army.
14:20Honor and glory to Antonio Maceo, the most excellent figure of the revolution, according to the generalist of Juan MartÃn,
14:27the warrior who did not sleep all night searching for paths to the homeland.
14:31For history, he raised some indignity against the pact without independence.
14:35The president also highlighted the birthday of Commander Ernesto Che Guevara Giverian Sunday on the 98th birthday of the Eternal
14:42Guerrilla.
14:43The share of the dispossessed and dissidents, the profound critic who left us as his example of a new man,
14:51and a warning for all time, imperialism cannot be trusted even a little bit, not at all.

15:22followed by a political-cultural event at the city's Antonio Maceo Park,

15:30The event reformed the commitment to defend the homeland and keep alive the anti-imperialist legacy of two giants,
15:36who, born 83 years apart, were united by the fire of rebellion and the struggle for freedom.
15:52Cuba's president Miguel Diazcanel thanked the Colombian government for sending aid to the island in solidarity,

16:01Throughout his social media account, Diazcanel said,
16:04Deep gratitude to President Gustavo Petro and the Colombian people for sending aid to the noble Cuban people.
16:10This solidarity comes to us in difficult times caused by the criminal blockade policy of the U.S. government.
16:16Brotherhood cannot be blocked.
16:28Italian activists, who opposed the U.S. blockade against Cuba,
16:32took the Let Cuba Breathe campaign to several European capitals, including Berlin in Germany,
16:37where they held public events to show their support for the island.
16:41On Saturday, the organizers explained that the tour began in Turin, Italy,
16:46and moved on to Brussels in Belgium and Paris, France.
16:49On Sunday, they planned to arrive in Warsaw, Poland,
16:53with plans to continue to order European cities in the coming weeks,
16:57with the aim of unifying the solidarity movement.
17:00The actions are taking place against a backdrop marked by the intensification of U.S. restrictive measures
17:06imposed against Cuba, as well as new sanctions applied by Washington.
17:10The initiative seeks to give a voice toward the United citizens,
17:14connecting with an international audience,
17:16and showcasing the resilience of the Cuban people,
17:19despite the situation the country is currently facing.

19:35In Philadelphia, Group E produced a dramatic finish as Cote d'Avoire snatched 1-0 victory over Ecuador
19:42with the last kick of the match at Lincoln Financial Field.
19:46The game seemed destined to be the first scoreless draw of the tournament.
19:50Ecuador was extremely unlucky, hitting the woodwork three times.
19:54Cote d'Avoire took to the counter-attack using its athleticism and pace to strengthen the Ecuadorian defense.
20:02While Ecuador has enjoyed more precision and attempted to dictate the tempo throughout midfield.
20:07In the 19th minute, Wilfried Zingo stormed down the right flank and levered a perfect cross for substitute Amadiello,
20:17who coolly slowed home the winner.

20:56I am going to cry at one. I'm awake from five in the morning. I'm here from eight in the
21:01morning,
21:02just waiting this big countdown for our debut on this world state. It's very emotional.
21:10When Curaçao echoed the stadium in Houston, many were moved to tears.
21:17Reaching football's biggest competition is also a recognition of the small island's national identity.
21:24They're one of us. The blood running through their veins is Curaçaoan blood.
21:28So for us, this coverage is enormous.
21:31Curaçao let the world see where we're from. And we are strong guys, the Curaçao.
21:37Germany struck early, but the miracle came 21 minutes in.
21:42Divano Cominencia scored a historic goal to make it 1-1.
21:47Although the final score 7-1 reflects Germany's trademark dominance, Curaçao did more than make its debut.
21:54Through its goal, pressure and determination, the team showed a commitment that fans back home supported until the final whistle.
22:03I'm very proud of the boys. They never gave up. They were still fighting until the end.
22:09So we are nothing but proud, even though it was 7-1. It's okay. We're good. You know, this happens
22:13to the best.
22:15A loss against Germany is something we already knew was going to happen, but they play good.
22:21They show they can do more than this, so we're ready to make each other win.
22:26For the headlines, it's just a score on the board. For the island and its people, it is a story
22:32of national pride and a journey that is only just starting.
