00:08In Venezuela, a critical relief convoy has been dispatched to the hard-hit state of La Guayra

00:14as emergency teams intensified recovery efforts following two devastating earthquakes

00:18that left 920 people dead and more than 3,360 people injured.

00:27The number of hit-related deaths in France has climbed to 4 toddlers and more than 55 drownings.

00:37Iran condemned the destruction of various areas of the country as a result of the United States violation of the

00:44Memorandum of Understanding.

00:54Hello and welcome to From the South. My name is Pablo Michelillo from the Telesur Studios in Caracas, Venezuela.

00:59We begin with the news. Stay with us.

01:14In a late-at-night operational balance from the Central Command in La Guayra, Venezuela, Nathem President El C. Rodriguez,

01:21reviewed the rescue operations on the way to save as many lives as possible with international rescue crews from several

01:28countries expanding its efforts.

01:30In this sense, Rodriguez stated that of the seven states across the country that are facing terrible aftermath from the

01:36twin earthquakes,

01:37the worst of the tragedy is concentrated in La Guayra, where saving lives within the vital 72-hour window remains

01:45the absolute priority.

01:46International aid is expanding rapidly with 10 more nations en route.

01:51The Apten President said the electricity grid recovery has reached 60%, while over 14,000 military and police personnel have

01:59militarized and restricted access to La Guayra to secure the zone and enforce critical sanitary precautions.

02:06Moreover, emergency shelters are fully operational and the public is urged to report missing loved ones using the 0800 rescue

02:15hotline.

02:15So far, there are 920 people dead and more than 3,360 people injured.

02:29They have spent the entire day focusing their efforts on each specific need to continue restoring electrical service.

02:39As of today we have already achieved a 60% restoration rate.

02:46And by tomorrow we should make much more progress once we are able to recover the power tower that fell

02:52on La Guayra mountain.

02:56As for water, we have also ramped up the distribution of water and food to ensure that there is no

03:02need we are not addressing, no matter how painful it may be.

03:08And most importantly, and most strategically, as we have said from the very beginning, is the process of rescuing those

03:15who are still alive.

03:17Venezuela said the president monitored rescue and salvaged efforts in the municipality of Chacao.

03:23To assess the progress of rescue and rubble clearance efforts in the Mirandino municipality of Chacao, the president traveled to

03:30the area of Caracas and expected the response to the damage caused by the double earthquake.

03:36As part of this effort, Rodriguez visited affected areas in the Altamira and Los Palos, Grandes Sectors.

03:42In these areas, a joint effort is on the way involving civil protection personnel, firefighters, the Bolivarian National Army Force

03:49and volunteers.

03:51It is worth noting that the team deployed in the area is equipped with heavy duty machinery and is carrying

03:57out damage assessment procedures, providing assistance to the population and removing rubble.

04:11We continue in Venezuela, where in the state of Aragua, five departments and civil protection agencies are organizing to assist

04:19and rescue efforts for those affected by the earthquake.

04:22According to reports, an 11-story building located in the Bosque Lindo neighborhood suffered a structural collapse, affecting at least

04:29five families who lived there.

04:31According to the latest report, a 19-year-old woman was rescued while the deaths of three people were reported.

04:39Authorities continued their efforts to determine the number of survivors and proceed with their rescue, as well as the recovery

04:47of any possible bodies.

04:57And search efforts continued in Falcons State in northwest Venezuela, following the reports of people trapped by collapsed homes.

05:04A secretary of police safety for Falcons State, Miguel Morales Miranda, reported the death of a citizen identified as Alejandro

05:12Ure, who was trapped in one of the homes.

05:15For his part, the governor of Falcons State, Virto Clark, noted that two cacas and the town of Boca de

05:21Arroa were the most affected by the double earthquake.

05:24According to reports from the state government, at least 35 people were injured, 15 are missing, and another four lost

05:32their lives.

05:40A critical relief convoy has been dispatched to the hard-hit state of La Guayra as emergency teams intensify recovery

05:47efforts following two devastating earthquakes.

05:49The national government has mobilized heavy machinery to accelerate rover clearance across the worst affected disaster zones.

05:58Alongside the specialized crew equipment, massive shipments of vital supplies, medical provisions, and hydration kits are arriving to support active

06:07search and rescue operations.

06:09Authorities state that the newly deployed resources are crucial to clearing blocked transit routes and reaching trapped survivors.

06:25The Venezuelan government, under acting President Alcero Rodríguez, has set up a registration center at the Polyedro in Caracas to

06:33channel the people's solidarity with La Guayra in an orderly manner.

06:37Civilian volunteers will be able to register and will receive QR code ID cards assigned according to their technical skills,

06:45thus ensuring that A reaches its destination effectively and without chaos.

06:50During the most critical hours of the search for survivors, Rodriguez calls on the public not to travel to the

06:56coast on their own as private vehicle traffic hinders the passage of ambulances, police patrols, and rescue units.

07:03Meanwhile, specialized teams from a dozen partner nations, including Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Spain, and the United States, are already operating

07:12on the ground.

07:20The rescue team sent by Brazil to reinforce humanitarian efforts in the areas affected by the earthquakes has arrived in

07:27Venezuela.

07:28The delegation consists of 36 firefighters, 6 rescue dogs, 4 officials from the Brazilian Civil Defense Agency, and 4 specialists

07:37from the National Telecommunications Agency.

07:39Along with this team, the necessary technical equipment arrived from Sao Paulo to ensure the autonomy of search and rescue

07:47operations.

07:47With this deployment, Brazil joins nations such as Mexico and El Salvador, whose teams are already actively collaborating in humanitarian

07:55efforts in the affected areas.

08:02Yes, the information is that the situation is very serious due to the two earthquakes, and because of La Guayra's

08:09geographical location, it is also a major problem,

08:13with issues we're seeing here regarding energy, electricity, and water.

08:17We know that the situation is very serious, and we are here to support the Venezuelan people.

08:26Venezuela welcomes rescue workers from France to assist in search and rescue efforts following the earthquakes.

08:32This Saturday, our group of rescue workers with rescue dogs arrived in the city of La Guayra to assist with

08:38the emergency.

08:38The country's coastline has been severely affected, and international teams are converging on the area to ensure the safety of

08:47injured victims.

08:48National and international emergency teams are moving forward with humanitarian efforts to support the population.

09:02American government will send more than 40 firefighters to Venezuela to conduct rescue operations in the wake of the earthquakes

09:09that struck the country on June 24th.

09:12A 44-member team from Peru's General Volunteer Fire Department is specialized in search and rescue operations in collapsed structures

09:20caused by natural or technological disasters.

09:23They are expected to land in Venezuela this Saturday, June 27, where they will remain for seven days.

09:30The government also sent 14 tons of humanitarian aid to those affected, emphasizing that the deployment of this mission is

09:36part of a solidarity effort to help the Venezuelan people.

09:47Venezuelans in the Spanish city of Córdoba organize a humanitarian cooperation day to collect basic necessities for their fellow Venezuelans

09:54back home.

09:55Venezuelan residents organize a campaign to collect medical supplies and non-perishable food to be sent to the most affected

10:02areas of Venezuela.

10:03The collection center will remain set up in the Plaza de Toros de los Califas until Sunday, June 28, so

10:10that people in Spain can join this effort.

10:20The Press spokesperson for the Salvadorian Rescue Commandos, Carlos Fuentes, reported that the first relief contingent has begun operations in

10:29the areas affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela.

10:36Salvadoran personnel are already working on Venezuelan soil.

10:44As the Rescue Command, the National Civil Protection System, and the USAR El Salvador Group, we are working on search

10:57and rescue in the collapsed zones.

11:01Additionally, another group is ready to respond to President Bukele's call and is on alert for any potential developments in

11:10Venezuela in the coming days.

11:14And in Venezuela, several international rescue workers have arrived in the country with the aim of providing support to the

11:20country's authorities. Let's see more.

11:25So far, Mexico has sent 272 specialists to support relief efforts in La Guayra State and Caracas, while the United

11:33States is contributing 3-8 rescue workers.

16:07Conversations from across the world this Sunday, June 28th at 9pm Caracas time

16:11and on Monday, June 29th at 9am Beijing time.

16:15This episode will be dedicated to the war on the rules based order.

16:19Stay tuned with Telestory English.

16:21We will be right back.

16:38Welcome back.

16:39A violation of the agreement reached the United States military attack to Iranian sides

16:44by jeopardizing the fragile peace deal in the Middle East.

16:47In a statement, U.S. Central Command said its forces attacked Iranian missile and drone storage sites

16:54as well as coastal radar facilities.

16:57The U.S. says that the bombing came in response to an attack on a vessel near the Strait of

17:02Hormuz along the Omani coast.

17:03For the part, Iranian authorities stated that the United States was bailing the ceasefire adding that the attack demonstrated

17:10that the U.S. could not be trusted in the negotiations.

17:16Meanwhile, Iran's media reported explosions in Syriq located along Iran's southern coast overlooking the Strait of Hormuz.

17:30In response to the imperialist violation, Iran's Islamic revolutionary backcorp said it struck U.S. military positions in the Middle

17:37East region.

17:38Iran's IRGC says it targeted U.S. military positions after alleged attacks on Iran's coast,

17:44warning that any further U.S. aggression would trigger a broader response.

17:48Iran further stated that Washington belated its commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding,

17:54arguing that Article 5 requires coordination with Iran on maritime monitoring and navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

18:01In this sense, the IRGC said the Navy had delivered an appropriate response by targeting U.S. military sites

18:08and warned that any repeat of the attacks would be met with a much broader military response,

18:14stressing they are prepared to respond to future actions targeting Iranian territory or interests.

18:27In this context, Iran condemned the destruction of various areas of the country as a result of the United States'

18:32violation of the Memorandum of Understanding.

18:34The Iranian Foreign Minister condemned the arrest rise carried out by the U.S. military against its southern coast during

18:40the night.

18:41According to data from the government agencies, U.S. and Israeli missiles struck coastal civilians' facilities,

18:47constituting a flagrant violation of the Memorandum of Understanding to end the war.

18:52The Islamic Republic called on the UN Charter to declare that it resolved the inherent right to self-defense,

18:59warning of future attacks against U.S. military targets.

19:12And the United States releases details of the trilateral agreement with Israel and Lebanon,

19:17which failed to provide the conditions for the Saudi occupation forces to withdraw from the Lebanese territory.

19:23The United States Department of State on Friday released the trilateral framework agreed upon by the United States,

19:29Israel and Lebanon, aligning a roadmap in Meirat establishing an unleashed lasting peace in the region.

19:36However, the deal greatly benefits the Saudis entity as it does not force the withdrawal of the occupation forces

19:43and only provides for faced Israeli military deployments and redeployments once the Hezbollah resistance is disarmed.

19:51After furthermore, it establishes that the Lebanese armed forces will gradually assume security responsibilities

19:57and commits the Lebanese government to ensuring that non-state armed groups hold no military or security role anywhere in

20:05the country.

20:12In Palestine, an Israeli attack on a vehicle in the central Gaza Strip has killed three people and injured several

20:18more.

20:19The attack took place in Maghazi refugee camp in Der Albala on Friday,

20:23and the victims whose bodies were taken to Al-Aqsa Marti's hospital were all police officers.

20:29For the part, the Palestine's Ministry of Interior and National Security condemned the attack called on the international community

20:36and the garantor states of the ceasefire agreement to exert pressure on the occupying forces to cease their repeated targeting

20:43of the police forces,

20:44its personnel and its resources.

20:46Afterwards, the Gaza Health Minister said the death toll from Israeli strikes in the sweep has risen to 73,443

20:54Palestinians with 173,417 injured.

20:58Among them, 1,031 have been killed and 3,309 have been wounded since the October 2025 ceasefire.

21:12And we move on to the topic in Russia, a new prisoner of war exchange with the Ukrainian regime took

21:17place.

21:18I made a date in which both countries confirmed the success of the negotiations that freed Russian soldiers,

21:25formerly landed at a military airfield after receiving primary medical care.

21:29According to Russia's Human Rights Commissioner,

21:31one hundred and sixty Russian soldiers have been repatriated from the territory controlled by the Kyiv regime.

21:37In exchange, sixty prisoners of war from the Ukrainian armed forces were handed over.

21:42The authorities specified that the group made a technical stopover in Belarus,

21:46while the Ukrainian president confided the return of his countrymen to Kyiv.

21:57And like this, we have come to the end of this news brief.
