00:11The president of the Palestinian state denounced the ongoing Israeli genocide on Gaza and the
00:16illegal settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank during his speech at the United
00:20Nations General Assembly. Chinese President Xi Jinping met with US President Donald Trump
00:30at the White House during his first state visit to Washington in over a decade. Bolivian
00:40persecutors scheduled a former deposition for far-right political strategist Fernando
00:44Seti Meadow amid the ongoing criminal investigation into the delicit enrichment and money laundering.
00:55Hello, welcome from the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Delezu Studios in Caracas, Venezuela.
01:00We begin with the news.
01:17The president of the Palestinian state denounced the ongoing Israeli genocide on Gaza and the
01:22illegal settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank during his speech at the second
01:26day of general debate at the United Nations General Assembly.
01:32What is taking place in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem are not isolated incidents,
01:38but rather a malicious colonial scheme aimed at making the lives of Palestinians more difficult
01:44in their homeland and forcing them to leave it.
01:55We warn you today, do not allow another Nakba to occur. Do not allow further massacres like those
02:04that occurred in 1948. Do not allow terrorist gangs protected by the Israeli occupation forces
02:14to burn Palestinian homes while their occupants are sleeping inside them. Do not allow our children
02:23to live afraid and threatened. Once again, I ask before this assembly,
02:32how much longer will some states continue to remain silent on Israel or supply it with the weapons that
02:39it uses against our people?
02:46And in this context, the Palestinian Authority condemned the U.S. decision to deny him a visa to
02:51attend the UN Signature Diplomatic Week.
02:55For the second consecutive year, the Palestinian delegation was denied the entry visas required
03:05to reach New York and participate in the meetings of the United Nations General Assembly in person.
03:15We reject these unlawful punitive measures. And we reject the accusations and justifications
03:23on which they were based.
03:28As we were saying, the third day of the general debate at the 81st United Nations General Assembly
03:33continues in New York this Thursday as world leaders continue to discuss
03:36the main challenges facing the world today. For that, let's go live to New York with our colleague
03:41Jorge Gestoso for more information coming from the headquarters of the United Nations.
03:45Welcome once more, Jorge.
03:47At this very moment, around the United Nations is taking place, again, at this very moment,
03:55around the U.S. and the United States building here of the General Assembly of the UN,
04:03is taking place demonstrations in favor of the Palestinian Authority and Palestine after the
04:12presentation of the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, this morning, via video
04:21conference. It was denied his visa to come in person and deliver his speech. And in the speech,
04:29he mentioned, he started by explaining all the difficulties that he had, the double standard,
04:36the double sword that it worked for Israel and against the Palestinian Authority. And also,
04:44after that, he was putting emphasis in that there is a plan, a deliberate plan. It's not a casual,
04:50a deliberate plan to say, to erase the Palestine territories, so talking about Cisjordania and Gaza,
04:59in order to establish the great Israel and denounce all sort of attacks. For example, in the schools,
05:09in hospitals, with children, with women, with personnel, even of the UN, that has been the confirmation
05:18that there's been, according to him, a genocide taking place, in a deliberate way. He said,
05:24they're going to try, and I asked the international community, to stop the repetition of what it has
05:31been. In 1948, the Nakba, where 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their territory. And now, according to
05:42Mahmoud Abbas, Mahmoud Abbas understand that Palestine is following all the rules, everything
05:50of the international law and international requirements, everything has been violated by Israel,
05:57and the implementation of this genocide continues. Later this morning, the Prime Minister,
06:05Benjamin Netanyahu, is going to be addressing the conference here, the third date of the general debate,
06:12and we wait to see what is going to be his reaction. We get back to you now.
06:18Thank you all for the information. We're going to stay in touch in the upcoming news brief for all
06:23the details coming from the UN. Let's continue. On topic, the Acting President Elcio Rodriguez
06:30addressed the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, reaffirming Venezuela's
06:35commitment to global peace, territorial integrity, diplomatic dialogue, and sovereign development.
06:41In her address before the United Nations, Acting President Delcio Rodriguez stressed Venezuela's
06:46unwavering commitment to peace and dialogue over conflict. Reflecting on recent challenges,
06:51she highlighted the country's remarkable resilience, underscoring that Venezuela is
06:55embarking on a new era of historic rebirth and state-to-state diplomacy.
06:58In 2026, Venezuela was forced to face two major painful tests to its life as a nation. One was the
07:08test that arose from the suffocation of its internal political life and a dispute with the United States
07:14of America, which was ratcheted up and became more extreme. Another test arose from nature's
07:20savagery. That was the double earthquake on the 24th of June. In spite of these life's bitter blows,
07:27as they were called by the poet César Vallejo, for all of Venezuela people, Venezuela's people today,
07:35Venezuela is being reborn. The idea of our country being reborn is, if you like, the expression of our
07:43country's attitude, the attitude that it is assumed in the face of the aforementioned events, we are
07:48transforming our political relationships. And these are now rooted in dialogue, negotiations and diplomacy.
07:55We wish to have with the United States, with our neighbours and with all countries on the continent,
08:00relations with the international communities. We wish to rebuild them and maintain them.
08:05They must be rooted in respect and equality. Defending national sovereignty before the world body,
08:10the head of state asserted Venezuela's historic sovereign rights over the Essequibo,
08:15calling upon Guyana to return to bilateral negotiations under the Geneva Agreement. At the
08:20same time, Rodriguez emphasized that stable diplomatic relations and soberan agreements,
08:24such as recent high-level energy accords, are vital to ensuring hemispheric energy security and
08:29preserving global economic balance. I would be remiss if I did not hear mention here as the very
08:36headquarters of international law, our desire to reaffirm the historic rights of Venezuela over
08:42Guyana Essequiba. Here, I appeal to the Cooperative Republic of Guyana to resolve the issue and to return to
08:50negotiations as stipulated by the Geneva Agreement. Agreements which last the longest are those that
08:57emerge from bilateral negotiations. They last longer and function better than those imposed by external bodies.
09:07Beyond geopolitical issues, the acting president calls for universal access to emerging technologies
09:12like artificial intelligence to mitigate poverty and advance social justice across the global south.
09:17In regard to domestic politics, she reaffirmed that Venezuela is headed toward an inclusive,
09:22transparent electoral process resulting from continuous dialogue with opposition sectors,
09:26ensuring equal competition under institutional guarantees. I wish to say the following loud and clear
09:32of this general assembly. In Venezuela, there will be elections. And in that vein, we have begun a political dialogue
09:43with sectors of the opposition, which will lead to a process where everyone will compete on an equal footing.
09:51The Venezuelan people, with its age-old wisdom, will determine when the correct time for these elections is.
09:58And Venezuelan institutions will be prepared to guarantee this inclusive and transparent process takes place.
10:07Concluding her address, Rodriguez urged the world body to defend self-determination and reject extremism.
10:12She ratified that Venezuela stands ready to engage with all nations that respect its sovereignty,
10:17freedom and dignity as a reborn nation.
10:19Venezuela must abandon the course which allowed extremism and intolerance to be imposed on and to prevail
10:27over peaceful and democratic coexistence. And here I ask for the support of the international community
10:33so that it in good faith supports the changes that Venezuela requires. It must respect the self-determination
10:41of my country. Venezuela wishes to breathe freely, exercise its rights as a sovereign nation
10:47without any type of interference. Venezuela must be admired and respected.
10:54With this historic address of the United Nations, the Venezuelan government ratifies its commitment to peace,
11:00territorial integrity, social justice and sovereign development,
11:04standing firm in its transformation and international cooperation.
11:12Our first break coming up, remember you can join us on TikTok at Telespringlish,
11:16where you'll find news in different formats, news updates and more. We're going to be right back, stay with us.
11:42Welcome back. This Thursday, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House
11:47during his first state visit to Washington in over a decade.
11:50Welcome back. This Thursday, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House
11:51University. This year, China. This is a global summit focused on economic stabilization, technology safeguards and managing geopolitical tensions between
11:57the world's two largest economies.
11:59Received with former military owners, the Chinese leader called for mutual respect for treatment of Chinese enterprises and constructive dialogue
12:06to prevent.
12:08Strategic confrontation. The talks follow an agreement to extend the bilateral trade truce for an additional two months, with discussions
12:15expanding to artificial intelligence, governor's supply chains,
12:18and military crisis communication mechanisms to preserve global economic and political stability.
12:31During his state visit to Washington, Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed critical areas of bilateral engagement
12:36emphasizing the need for equitable trade conditions and responsible technology governance.
12:41The Chinese leader called on the United States to treat Chinese enterprises fairly
12:46while highlighting shared responsibility in managing emerging technologies.
12:52China's door of opening up remains wide open, and American companies are welcome to invest and do business in China.
12:59We hope the U.S. side will treat Chinese enterprises fairly and work together to expand the list of cooperation
13:06and shorten the list of problems.
13:08Both China and the United States are major powers in artificial intelligence,
13:12with the capability and responsibility to properly develop and govern AI,
13:17ensuring that AI development remains under human control and benefits the people.
13:22China is willing to strengthen cooperation with the U.S. in areas such as counter-narcotics law enforcement.
13:29Both sides can increase direct flights to make travel and economic and trade exchanges more convenient.
13:35President Xi Jinping also outlined China's stance on global security and military communication
13:40who are affirming the necessity of peaceful coexistence between major powers.
13:44We need to coexist peacefully.
13:50I have said many times that cooperation between the two major powers, China and the United States,
13:56benefits both, while conflict harms both.
13:59There is no need to shy away from acknowledging competition between China and the U.S.
14:04But competition should be.
14:06Both China and the United States must adhere to the baseline of non-conflict and non-confrontation.
14:12It is certainly possible to find the right way for two major powers to coexist on this planet.
14:18The militaries of both countries must maintain regular dialogue
14:22and improve crisis communication and prevention mechanisms.
14:26The Thucydides trap can be avoided.
14:32And for his part, U.S. President Donald Trump framed the bilateral talks around future security challenges,
14:37placing particular emphasis on advanced technology and artificial intelligence.
14:42During this visit, we will also discuss pressing issues concerning security, technology, and superintelligence, SI.
14:50The decisions we make in these areas today can promote peace and prosperity for decades and decades to come.
15:18A war crime lawsuit has been filed in Paris against Israeli occupation forces for the destruction and uprooting of 600
15:25ancient olive trees in southern Lebanon.
15:28The civil suit, submitted by a French Lemony citizen, targets the systematic destruction of agricultural land and heritage in the
15:35town of Soutar al-Sarquilla.
15:37The complaint details that several of the uprooted trees were over 500 years old,
15:42alleging theft, property destruction, and illegal transfer of the specimens into occupied territories.
15:48Human rights lawyers and civil organizations highlight that the destruction of agricultural livelihoods alongside airstrikes on residential homes forms part
15:57of a broader campaign of destruction and displacement targeting civilian communities across southern Lebanon.
16:08And protests erupted outside the Sofia City Hall in Bulgaria as demonstrators demanded the resignation of the mayor and the
16:15removal of the Ukrainian flag from the municipal building.
16:18The mobilization highlights deepening political divisions within the Eastern European nation regarding military involvement in the regional conflict.
16:25Clashes and verbal confrontations broke out between sovereignty advocates demanding the removal of foreign symbols and counter-demonstrators supporting Ukraine,
16:33prompting local police to deploy security cordons around the municipal headquarters.
16:37The civil unrest reflects widespread public skepticism over NATO-aligned policies following recent government decisions to hold direct arms transfers
16:44from Bulgarian military stockpiles and advocate for peace negotiations.

17:05Final break. Don't go away.
17:31Welcome back.
17:32Bolivian prosecutors scheduled a formal deposition for far-right political strategist Fernando Cerimero inside the high-security Chongcho Coro prison.
17:39The interrogation is part of an ongoing criminal investigation into illicit enrichment and money laundering.
17:46Prosecutor David Torres confirmed that judicial authorities will collect Cerimero's testimony regarding the financial networks and undisclosed funding behind his
17:54digital activities.
17:55The proceeding comes as the media operative already served pretrial detention for the attempted femicide of his former partner, Nadia
18:03Peler, for deepening the legal actions surrounding his covert political operations and financial dealings in South America.
18:16In this context, key testimony provided to Argentine prosecutors has directly linked far-right digital strategist Fernando Cerimero to the
18:23leak of corruption recordings involving high-ranking officials in Argentina.
18:27The statement was delivered from Bolivia by his former partner, Nadia Peler, who is currently recovering from an assassination attempt
18:34allegedly orchestrated by Cerimero.
18:35Declaring under heavy police protection, Belero provided digital evidence to prosecutors investigating kickbacks and inflated procurement schemes within Argentina's National
18:45Disability Agency.
18:47Cerimero, who remains in pretrial detention at the maximum-security Chongcho Coro prison, facing charges of attempted femicide, domestic violence,
18:55and illicit enrichment, is also under scrutiny by Mexican and regional authorities for operating covert data information networks and digital
19:02manipulation campaigns across the continent.
19:06In this case, Fernando Cerimero, the victim of the victim of the attempted femicide complained about a delay in the
19:12legal process and alleged a cover-up by the police.
19:12Actually, I am the complainant only in the attempted assault case and now I am taking a personal stance in
19:17the assault case.
19:18And of course, I have all the evidence needed to prove that Fernando Cerimero is the mastermind behind both the
19:23attempted assault and the assault.
19:24I have the evidence to demonstrate the violence he committed.
19:29Furthermore, the victim of the attempted femicide complained about a delay in the legal process and alleged a cover-up
19:35by the police in the case.
19:45It's very slow. There are many people who need to be summoned, and there are many procedures that need to
19:50be carried out, but they still aren't being done.
19:52I've complained about this, too. What astonishes me most is that in San Ignacio, just a few hours after a
19:57murder took place, they found the people.
19:59Those people here walked away even though Eric Correa Gonzalez had police officers theoretically guarding me, since they only took
20:06photos of Cerimero.
20:07At no point did they chase after these two perpetrators of the attempted femicide. They didn't contact the police themselves
20:12to have them arrested. Nothing happened.
20:14The hitman can afford to send letters and make videos, and no one is looking for him. No one is
20:19chasing him.
20:20To me, there is a clear cover-up and police involvement in this case, and I believe that is why
20:24they can't find them, because they don't feel like finding them.
20:27It's a clear cover-up and frank cover-up and participation of the police in this case, and I believe
20:32that it's why they don't find them, because they don't want to find them.
20:36Army General Raul Castro sent a congratulatory letter to the students and personnel of the Camilo Cienfuegos Military Schools on
20:43the 60th anniversary of their founding.
20:45The message was presented during an official military ceremony presided over by Cuba's Minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, Army
20:51General Álvaro López Miera.
20:53During the event, military and political leaders highlighted the historic role of the specialized academies in providing comprehensive patriotic and
21:00defense education to generations of human youth.
21:02Authorities emphasized that over six decades the institution has played a pivotal role in training skilled personnel to strengthen national
21:10security, sovereignty, and the readiness of the country's armed forces.
21:30And massive waves from Hurricane Polo are battering Mexico's Pacific Coast as residents and traders in Michoacán build makeshift barriers
21:38to defend their livelihoods.
21:40Coastal workers spend three days piling sandbags to observe the unprecedented surge, which threatens to strip away beach foundations and
21:48destroy local infrastructure.
21:49Polo re-strengthened into a Category 5 hurricane, with sustained winds of 260 kmph, shurning just offshore and impacting coastal
21:58communities.
21:59While authorities monitor damage across several states, grassroots resilience highlights the rising threat extreme weather poses to vulnerable coastal economies.
22:15And public outrage erupted across Spain following the eviction of an 87-year-old pensioner in Madrid,
22:21spiking intense debate over housing speculative practices and tenant rights.
22:25The eviction of Marie Carmen, who had resided in her home for seven decades, triggered widespread protests outside the property.
22:32The conflict began after the pandemic.
22:40A corporate real estate firm acquired the building and raised the monthly rent by nearly 300%,
22:46driving the case to the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the corporation.
22:50Speaking from New York, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez labeled the eviction an unacceptable social tragedy and urged Parliament to
22:58vote.
23:17To prevent real estate speculation and protect vulnerable tenants from arbitrary displacement.
23:33Mayor Carmen's eviction today is a social tragedy that we cannot accept, neither as a country nor, of course, from
23:41the perspective of public institutions.
23:43I believe it is also very important to remember that, when it comes to the social protection of vulnerable people
23:49in the area of housing, for example,
23:51it is the local councils and the autonomous communities that are the relevant authorities.
24:02If we are in Parliament, if we are involved in politics, it is precisely so that such tragedies do not
24:09happen.
24:10And that has no political color. It is not a matter of belonging to one party or another.
24:15It is about something that has more to do with the fight against social injustice and exclusion.
