00:00And as the first day of general debates at the 81st United Nations General Assembly nears its
00:06end, we are now going to contact our correspondent in the city, Jorge Gestoso. He is there and he
00:14has all the latest informations that come at this hour from the city.
00:33Well, there is a big night here in the center of Manhattan. It has been a reception organized by the
00:44General Assembly precisely to celebrate Donald Trump's development.
00:55And by around 10 minutes to 8, means about 50 minutes ago, it was supposed to be a meeting with
01:06the acting president of Venezuela, Delci Rodriguez.
01:10It was very much close. The information so far, we cannot confirm details of that encounter.
01:20That was going to be the first time that the two leaders were going to meet in person.
01:26It has been an incredible display of security here. All of the surroundings of the Hotel Lotto in Madison Avenue
01:36has been closed fencing by the police and the secret service.
01:41But a fantastic display of security. We can hear sirens and so on and so forth.
01:49So basically, it was the end of a day in which we were having very important leaders that took the
02:01General Assembly in the first date of debate.
02:04We're talking about Lula. We were talking about President Trump. At the very beginning, the Secretary General Antonio Guterres also
02:13was talking.
02:15And on the other hand, it has been also a meeting of the Shield of the Americas, El Escudo de
02:23las Americas, a group that has been created by Washington to organize the leaders of some countries in Latin America.
02:35Most of them led by very ultra-conservative presidents such as Millet, caste, in the case of Peru, Keiko Fujimori,
02:48in the case of Bolivia Pass, in the case of other countries like El Salvador, etc., etc.
02:57They were all meeting together in the afternoon with President Trump and the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
03:06So basically, a lot of denunciation here that even by the Secretary General of the UN that is retiring, is
03:17ending his period by the end of the year, Antonio Guterres,
03:21that is an institution that needs to be reformed in a very, very big way because of the inefficiency and
03:32because of that offensive of certain countries of the world,
03:36not to respect the international law, not to respect human rights, not to respect what is called the regular rights
03:45in the whole sense.
03:47So, there is a lot of reorganizations, denunciations, and the most important thing is to see if this meeting between
03:59the acting president,
04:00Delsi Rodriguez, and President Trump has been taking place and how was the encounter took place and if there was
04:09some conclusions or details about it.
04:12So, mostly, President Trump's agenda is from here. He goes straight to the airport. From the airport, he is going
04:23to Washington, D.C., to the White House,
04:25and by Thursday, he is going to meet with the President Xi Jinping of China.
04:32We will get back to you as soon as we go in more details throughout the morning tomorrow.
04:39Thank you. Thank you very much, Estoso, for your insights in this first day of debates at the United Nations
04:45General Assembly.
