I am Michela Greda [00:01:49] huge shot, his fifth of Flores and I will have the pleasure of accompanying you during the next 60 [00:01:52] minutes of information, let's begin. [00:01:56] This Thursday, the formal [00:01:59] como niños 3" has begun with establishment of the national dialogue table between spokespersons of the National [00:02:02] Assembly of 2015 and the governmental [00:02:05] representation [00:02:07] the mark of 20 home runs so will take place starting at 1 p.m. The meeting, which will be held at the Simón Bolívar Park Convention [00:02:11] Center, located within the Generalissimo [00:02:15] Francisco de Miranda air base in La Carlota, establishes the beginning of a new stage of [00:02:19] negotiations. The agenda will cover [00:02:21] Zulia, with rainfall possible in attention to the emergency, responses and measures to the double earthquake [00:02:24] recorded on June 24, as well as the [00:02:27] re-institutionalization and renewal of public powers, such as the Supreme [00:02:31] Court of Justice and the National [00:02:34] strategic for the security of Electoral Council. Finally, they will discuss agreements on rights and [00:02:38] thus reaching the meteoric figure of guarantees for the different actors in the national political landscape. [00:02:40] Let us remember that the officialist team will be led by the president of the [00:02:44] National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, while the opposition [00:02:47] sector will be presided over by deputy Dignora Figuera. [00:02:50] It should be noted that this process will be supported by the observation and [00:02:54] monitoring of US delegates, who [00:02:57] will have a role in accompanying each stage of the conversations to ensure that [00:03:01] the dialogue proceeds smoothly, fairly, and is oriented towards concrete [00:03:04] results for the stability of Venezuela. The [00:03:07] representative of the National Assembly elected in 2015, Dinora Figuera, arrived in [00:03:11] Venezuela with the objective of formally initiating the cycle of [00:03:15] negotiations with representatives of the national government. [00:03:18] Figuera, upon her arrival at José Antonio Anzuategi International [00:03:22] Airport in Barcelona, from Spain, along with deputies Marco Quiñones and [00:03:26] Jorge Millan, affirmed that the [00:03:29] He also highlighted that the team has had main objective of this business table will be to address the institutionality of the [00:03:32] country. In that sense, she explained that the priority issues on the [00:03:36] agenda include the National Electoral Council, the Supreme Court of [00:03:40] Justice, and guarantees for the exercise of political and [00:03:43] civil rights. The opposition representative [00:03:46] explained that addressing these issues will require research and [00:03:50] technical contributions. She also specified that attention to the victims [00:03:53] of the earthquakes in La Guaira and Caracas is part of the priority [00:03:57] agenda. The Secretary General of the United [00:04:02] certification. With the formal establishment of Socialist Party of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, reaffirmed the national government's [00:04:04] willingness to maintain dialogue with the various sectors of the Venezuelan opposition. [00:04:08] There it is, Venezuela has always [00:04:11] bet on peace, the tranquility of [00:04:14] our country. Venezuela always, the people of [00:04:18] Venezuela, always, always, always respond to all [00:04:21] calls. Here there is a permanent dialogue [00:04:24] at the level of communities, streets, [00:04:28] and towns. [00:04:30] those of the communes, every day, every day [00:04:34] there is a dialogue, these people want to join the dialogues [00:04:38] for peace for this country, [00:04:40] welcome, as long as they come to add, as long as they come [00:04:44] to add within the framework of this [00:04:48] constitution, the Minister of Interior, Justice [00:04:51] and Peace also rejected the criticisms and [00:04:54] accusations against the controlled demolition of [00:04:58] a building at risk on the beach. [00:05:02] A controlled explosion [00:05:06] requires taking all [00:05:09] protective [00:05:11] provisions of Article 10 of measures. [00:05:14] the little stars, journalists, or [00:05:17] pseudo-journalists, [00:05:18] mercenaries [00:05:21] are not above protective measures. Who [00:05:27] union? No. [00:05:29] The press union should demand ethics from its [00:05:32] members, it doesn't do that. That [00:05:35] limit should be set by the press [00:05:38] union. [00:05:40] But where can people be? without the experts, he concluded [00:05:44] by pointing out that sectors tried to politicize the [00:05:47] demolition operation of the structures declared at [00:05:50] risk, assuring that the work concluded as [00:05:54] planned. [00:05:56] The President of the United States, Donald Trump, expressed his satisfaction [00:06:00] with the current dynamic on the bilateral agenda with [00:06:03] Venezuela. During his speech, the US [00:06:06] president highlighted the positive evolution of economic exchanges [00:06:09] and work agreements made between both [00:06:12] nations. He also highlighted the constant flow of [00:06:16] hydrocarbons and the diplomatic closeness achieved in this new [00:06:19] period. In this context, he emphasized the volume of crude oil [00:06:22] processed and the great energy potential of the country within the [00:06:26] global market. Trump assured that billions of barrels of [00:06:30] oil are flowing, reminding that Venezuela is positioned [00:06:33] as one of the nations with the largest oil resources in the entire [00:06:37] world. The reconstruction of the country after the [00:06:40] double earthquake must be addressed with utmost urgency. However, [00:06:44] Julio Celini Ramos, councilman of the municipality of [00:06:47] Alatilla, stated during an interview on the front page that [00:06:51] re-institutionalization [00:06:53] must be worked on concurrently and not postponed [00:06:57] until the end of the recovery. It [00:07:00] is important to take into consideration that although it [00:07:03] is true that it must be addressed urgently, [00:07:06] that is, the issue of the issue of [00:07:09] the devastation after the double seismic event, consequences and the [00:07:13] reconstruction that the country is called to, of course it is [00:07:16] important and urgent, but the issue of [00:07:20] re-institutionalization is also important and urgent, which can [00:07:23] go hand in hand, that is, we cannot conceive that [00:07:26] it is intended to propose a recovery phase that can take [00:07:30] years and then at the end of that phase would be [00:07:34] when we would address the issues that have to do with re-institutionalization. I believe [00:07:37] that working committees must be established, the government [00:07:41] for its part will have to carry out [00:07:45] the necessary actions for recovery, with the help obviously of the international [00:07:49] community, and on the other hand, arbitrate the necessary [00:07:52] mechanisms for the issue of re-institutionalization. In the [00:07:56] San Pedro parish of Caracas, 67 homes that suffered [00:07:59] damage from the tremors of June 24 were recovered [00:08:03] and delivered, as reported by the head of government of the [00:08:06] capital district, Naún Fernández. Fernández [00:08:09] announced that the initial deployment guarantees the safe [00:08:13] return to their homes of 370 inhabitants grouped into [00:08:16] 67 families in the area, and what we are talking [00:08:20] about here is the rebirth of Venezuela, the rebirth of [00:08:23] hope, and that is why our people here are very [00:08:27] happy. We tell you that all the buildings that we have inspected [00:08:31] inside and out are already rehabilitated. Five [00:08:34] buildings that we are delivering out of 14 that we are intervening in this [00:08:38] commune, precisely these five [00:08:40] buildings are named: [00:08:44] Caribana, Pompey, Diamante, Las [00:08:47] Aulas, and San Gerardo, who are currently receiving a [00:08:50] 100% delivery certification. It is necessary [00:08:54] to mention that the community of this locality expressed its [00:08:57] support for the state plan for the speed and execution of the [00:09:01] works, while highlighting the prompt institutional [00:09:04] response that allows them to have safe [00:09:07] spaces again. Well, at this time we are going to make a connection with our [00:09:11] colleague. Damas, he is on Sucre Avenue [00:09:15] of Los Dos Caminos, where restoration work is being carried out on the [00:09:19] Los Dos Caminos residences after the earthquake of June [00:09:22] 24. Yes, thank you for the informative contact. I am [00:09:26] currently on Sucre Avenue of Los Dos Caminos, [00:09:29] specifically behind me is the Dos Caminos residence where the [00:09:32] controlled demolition of a floating wall of this [00:09:36] residence, which suffered serious damage after the earthquake of July [00:09:40] 24, is being carried out. Let's talk [00:09:42] with the architect, sorry, Taíz Briseño, who is [00:09:45] in charge of organizing the remodeling [00:09:48] work of this building which is [00:09:51] organized by the mayor's office of the Sucre municipality, so that she can tell us a little about how the [00:09:55] reconstruction work of this infrastructure is progressing. [00:09:58] Well, we are, as you said, in the Los [00:10:02] Dos Caminos building on Sucre Avenue in the Sucre [00:10:06] municipality. This building is [00:10:09] old, it is a construction from 1959 [00:10:12] and as a result of the earthquake and tremor, it had a [00:10:15] failure in a wall, the floating [00:10:18] wall that is the facade of [00:10:21] the building. The [00:10:25] beams and well, we are doing the controlled demolition, [00:10:29] the beams were even demolished, we have to do a [00:10:32] reconstruction, reinforce the wall to be able to [00:10:36] put the fittings back on the building. How long do you [00:10:40] estimate these works will last? Well, [00:10:43] we have been [00:10:46] doing the demolition for a week, three days ago, [00:10:49] we have to pour concrete, we have to wait [00:10:52] for the concrete to [00:10:56] cure to rebuild the [00:10:59] walls, but in the same way, this building had that [00:11:03] same failure in all the floating walls it has on its three [00:11:06] facades, so I think we cannot [00:11:10] determine how long we can take, because beyond the fact that [00:11:13] it is masonry damage, what the [00:11:17] building suffered is severe. How many people do you have deployed [00:11:21] here? We are about 30 people, [00:11:25] including professionals, workers, [00:11:28] engineers at this moment. Well, you heard [00:11:31] the statements of Taíz Briseño, who is the [00:11:35] the remodeling and controlled demolition [00:11:39] of this floating wall here in the Dos Caminos residence, [00:11:43] in charge of the mayor's office of the Sucre municipality. With this information, I return the contact to the studio. [00:11:47] Go ahead. Thank you, Rodolfo, for this information. We continue with more news that [00:11:50] the head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of [00:11:55] Humanitarian Affairs in the country, Vanessa Mey, [00:11:58] highlighted the importance of having direct and constant [00:12:02] contact with the communities affected by [00:12:05] the earthquakes of June 24 in order to provide immediate [00:12:08] and accurate responses to their [00:12:11] needs. We have control and monitoring [00:12:15] mechanisms that are also very robust and that [00:12:18] ensures that aid reaches the people who need it directly. We work [00:12:22] with implementing partners who have also been certified [00:12:25] previously, who have a track record not only in [00:12:28] Venezuela but throughout the world, who can implement resources [00:12:32] transparently, and we also have tools that are even [00:12:36] available online for [00:12:40] anyone who wants them. For example, we have a tool called the [00:12:43] 5W, which basically shows you in real time who is [00:12:47] doing what and where and in what sectors. This is very [00:12:50] important in terms of accountability because accountability for us is not [00:12:53] only for our donors, but also for the population, [00:12:57] right? So it is very important for us to also integrate [00:13:00] the voices of the communities, what the communities need, [00:13:03] and how we can integrate that into our response, and also [00:13:07] give back what they tell us, because we are talking to them [00:13:10] all the time, and I think that is fundamental. Yumare, [00:13:14] a one-and-a-half-month-old Border Collie puppy, will take over [00:13:18] from rescue dog Tsunami in the [00:13:20] rescue unit after the dog's official [00:13:24] retirement. The puppy, donated from Puerto La Cruz, was [00:13:28] baptized with an indigenous word whose meaning refers to the link between [00:13:31] heaven and earth. Her trainer Jorge Bens [00:13:34] noted that from her first weeks of life, she has shown a high [00:13:37] receptivity to stimuli. In his opinion, this is [00:13:40] a fundamental quality for developing the search profile for [00:13:44] collapsed structures. He explained that the early [00:13:47] training plan seeks to maintain the highest standards of response to [00:13:50] local contingencies. [00:13:54] the support of the community through the donation of food [00:13:58] supplies and veterinary care services to ensure the optimal [00:14:01] development of the future rescuer. [00:14:04] Well, at 12:13, we are going to take a first break here in the midday [00:17:28] The Ministry of Transport reported that Maiquetia International Airport was [00:17:31] reactivated with the arrival of two cargo flights, one from Panama and [00:17:35] another from Colombia. The Minister of Transport, Francisco [00:17:39] Garcés, indicated that the resumption of operations began with the arrival of a [00:17:42] cargo flight from the Uniword airline with merchandise [00:17:46] from Panama. For its part, a cargo [00:17:49] flight from DHL company arrived from Colombia with more than 13 tons of [00:17:53] merchandise. The head of the transport ministry [00:17:57] indicated that the arrival of these flights represents a significant [00:18:00] advance for the commercial logistics of the country and the [00:18:04] Simón Bolívar International Airport of Maiquetía, affected [00:18:08] by the earthquakes of last June 24. [00:18:10] National Deputy and president of the parliamentary friendship [00:18:14] group Venezuela-United States, Antonio Carri, led the [00:18:18] signing of an agreement to transform the Palo Negro air base in [00:18:22] Maracay, Aragua state. We are going to sign today an agreement [00:18:26] of institutional cooperation between the [00:18:28] Libertador municipality mayor's office, the Municipal [00:18:32] Council of the Libertador Municipality [00:18:36] and also the parliamentary [00:18:39] friendship group United States-Venezuela, and we will do [00:18:42] so to promote a development project. We have [00:18:45] the OFAC GL60 [00:18:48] license dated June 25, [00:18:52] 2026 for reconstruction work on the [00:18:55] occasion of the earthquake. [00:18:57] We have a great opportunity and the door is open. On the other [00:19:01] hand, the parliamentarian underlined that the initiative seeks to diversify national [00:19:05] air connectivity [00:19:07] without intending to replace the country's main [00:19:11] terminal. Palonegro has a [00:19:13] concrete runway today, [00:19:16] approximately 3,170 [00:19:19] meters, a runway, it is not yet an airport. To get [00:19:23] there we need terminals, platforms, taxiways, [00:19:27] navigation systems, emergency services, [00:19:31] accesses, customs, immigration, and a [00:19:34] rigorous aeronautical [00:19:39] the first professional technical table, local [00:19:42] and legislative authorities are taking a firm [00:19:45] step to boost the Aragua infrastructure [00:19:48] and seek to convert Palo Negro into the most important [00:19:51] international airport in Latin [00:19:54] America. The President of the Republic, Delsi [00:19:58] Rodríguez, held a meeting with the executive delegation of the African [00:20:01] Chamber of Energy to evaluate investment alliances [00:20:04] in oil and gas [00:20:07] sectors. During the meeting, the parties reviewed [00:20:11] technical and commercial cooperation mechanisms aimed at [00:20:14] strengthening the productive capacity of the hydrocarbon [00:20:17] industry and promoting new international [00:20:21] investment opportunities. The meeting is part of the executive's [00:20:24] strategy to promote energy cooperation with [00:20:27] international partners, strengthen the development of [00:20:31] joint projects, and expand business opportunities in the [00:20:34] sector. The African Chamber of Energy [00:20:38] brings together companies and institutions linked to the sector and [00:20:41] promotes investment, cooperation, and development [00:20:44] initiatives in the hydrocarbon sector. Later, President Rodríguez [00:20:48] also held a working meeting with representatives of the international [00:20:52] seismic engineering firms Miyamoto [00:20:55] International and TFFI Solution to evaluate [00:20:58] strategies aimed at sustainable urban [00:21:02] development. The firms Miyamoto International and [00:21:05] TFI Solution have experience in [00:21:08] structural engineering and risk management, key [00:21:12] areas for the design of solutions that allow [00:21:15] progress towards more resilient [00:21:17] infrastructures to telluric movements. The mayor of the [00:21:21] Sotillo municipality, Jesús Marcano Tábata, [00:21:24] will convert the old waste [00:21:27] Avenue in Puerto La Cruz into a space for the [00:21:30] development of productive and welfare activities for the [00:21:34] jurisdiction. After more than 10 years of [00:21:38] operation, he explained that the measure responds to a joint action with Governor [00:21:41] Luis Marcano, the Ministry of Eco-socialism, and the organized [00:21:45] popular power. He also highlighted that the first phase [00:21:48] of the project corresponded to the removal of more than 4,000 tons of [00:21:52] solid waste and rubble, which were [00:21:56] area's landfill in Anzoátegui, and in the second phase, [00:22:00] they will continue with the deep sanitation of the affected soil. [00:22:03] Subsequently, Marcano announced that in working groups with the organized [00:22:07] community, the productive and social [00:22:10] welfare projects to be executed will be determined. For their part, spokespersons for [00:22:14] the communal council of the Pueblo Nuevo sector indicated that this [00:22:18] action resolves discomfort and bad odors that affected the [00:22:22] inhabitants of the community and surrounding [00:22:24] The Public Defender's Office agreed to establish a work plan with the Federation of [00:22:28] Associations of University Professors of [00:22:33] which requests related to the labor [00:22:36] rights of the guild were raised. During [00:22:39] the meeting, the Public Defender Eglé González Lovato [00:22:43] committed to evaluating dialogue and articulation [00:22:45] mechanisms to promote solutions to the [00:22:49] proposals presented by the representatives of the [00:22:53] organization. The head of the agency announced the [00:22:56] formation of a working group that, together with FAPUV, will develop an [00:23:00] interinstitutional agenda and technical [00:23:03] tables to monitor the requests of the teaching [00:23:06] sector. The FAPUV delegation raised the [00:23:10] need for the Public Defender's Office to mediate [00:23:13] to promote advances in terms of salary dignification [00:23:16] and welfare for teaching staff, [00:23:20] as well as to establish dialogue mechanisms that [00:23:24] allow addressing their proposals. Well, at [00:23:27] this time we are going to establish contact with our [00:23:30] correspondent in Táchira state, Francis Games. She is [00:23:33] touring the Páramo road, one of the most frequented routes by [00:23:37] pilgrims heading to meet the Holy Christ of La [00:23:40] Grita. [00:23:42] grita. [00:23:51] At this moment we are in Páramo El [00:23:54] Zumbador, the highest point [00:23:57] of this route. Next to me is Gerardo [00:24:01] Márquez, he is a paramedic from civil protection. It should be noted [00:24:04] that in this space there is a pre-hospital care [00:24:07] tent. Gerardo, what is the importance of this [00:24:11] point? Well, the importance of this point [00:24:14] lies in that first, as you just said, it is [00:24:18] the highest point, we are at... 1600 meters above sea [00:24:21] level, we have [00:24:25] contact or it is the meeting point between three [00:24:28] routes. Behind you is the route that comes from San Cristóbal, [00:24:32] to my left is the route that comes from Michelena, [00:24:36] and in front of you or behind you we have the route [00:24:39] that comes from San José de Bolívar, so it is important because it is the meeting [00:24:43] point of these three routes, the influx of [00:24:46] pilgrims is quite important. Also, [00:24:50] well, remember that this is a tourist inn. [00:24:53] What are the main attentions that have [00:24:56] been carried out here at this pre-hospital care [00:24:59] point? The main thing we have [00:25:03] is care for muscle contractures, [00:25:06] muscle tears, [00:25:09] due to fatigue, the effort made by pilgrims to [00:25:13] complete this route. In [00:25:15] addition to that, blisters on the feet, for that reason it is [00:25:19] recommended to pilgrims to wear comfortable [00:25:22] footwear, to take breaks for [00:25:25] rest, it is also important to have good [00:25:28] hydration. Low temperatures [00:25:31] are also a factor for them to [00:25:34] be able to rest at some points, [00:25:38] to be able to have shelter. We have also had [00:25:40] light rainfall, but that also, [00:25:44] let's say, makes the journey a little [00:25:48] slower in that. for the transit of the [00:25:51] pilgrims. Basically, we have also had [00:25:55] temperatures, the lowest we have recorded [00:25:58] approximately 7 degrees. [00:26:01] Thank you very much. We were talking with Gerardo [00:26:04] Márquez, he is a biomedical civil protection officer, [00:26:08] from the Zumbador páramo, we will continue our [00:26:11] journey to La Grita, Haureyi municipality. It is [00:26:15] worth noting that eight [00:26:18] routes were established [00:26:21] meet the Christ of the Serene Face. With this information, we return to the [00:26:25] studios. [00:26:26] estudios. [00:26:35] Well, we continue with more information, and that is that according to an expert, the El Niño [00:26:39] phenomenon could extend in Venezuela until the first half of [00:26:42] 2027. Meteorologist Luis Vargas [00:26:46] pointed out that the El Niño phenomenon of this [00:26:49] 2026 could be one of the most intense [00:26:52] since records began and extend in Venezuela until [00:26:56] the first half of 2027. The [00:26:59] expert stressed that the current period of El Niño [00:27:03] could exceed the strongest episodes that have been experienced in the [00:27:07] country, such as those of 2015 and [00:27:09] 2016. Vargas detailed that the [00:27:13] El Niño climatic phenomenon is of special concern for our [00:27:16] next dry period, which begins at the end of November [00:27:20] and lasts until April or May, as it will further accentuate [00:27:23] the drought condition in Venezuela. This phenomenon [00:27:26] alters climatic patterns globally, and according to Vargas, [00:27:30] it has no relation to the ones that occur in the country at [00:27:34] this time of year. Both El Niño and La Niña are [00:27:37] phenomena with planetary repercussions, and in Venezuela, their [00:27:41] major effects could begin this month, [00:27:44] reducing total rainfall accumulations [00:27:48] and favoring an increase in temperatures more than [00:27:51] usual, a fact that is already recorded in states like [00:27:54] Cojedes and Guárico, as explained by the [00:27:57] expert. The National Institute of Meteorology and [00:28:00] Hydrology (INAMEH) predicted partially cloudy skies and [00:28:04] variable rainfall in much of the country for this Thursday [00:28:07] in the afternoon and evening. Cloudy areas with rainfall are [00:28:11] expected, some with electrical discharges in our Guayana [00:28:14] Esequiba, Delta Amacuro, Monagas, Sucre, Bolívar, [00:28:18] Amazonas, Andes, western plains and [00:28:24] the central region, pluvial accumulations between 1.55 [00:28:27] mm. As for temperatures, a minimum of 6°C in measured mountains and [00:28:31] maximums close to 38 degrees in Falcón [00:28:33] and Zulia. Wave heights oscillating between 1 and [00:28:37] 1.5 m in height along the entire coastal line of the country, lunar [00:28:40] phase one day after the last quarter, location of tropical [00:28:43] waves, number 34, [00:28:47] over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean. Its arrival in our Guayana Esequiba is estimated between [00:28:51] Friday 7 and Saturday 8 of August, tropical wave number [00:28:55] 35 over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean. Its arrival in [00:28:58] our Guayana Esequiba is estimated between the 10th and Tuesday 11th of [00:29:04] After the viralization of a video showing strange shapes in the [00:29:07] Caracas sky, the debate among Internet users did not take [00:29:11] long to start. One of the most widespread viral videos [00:29:14] on TikTok and Facebook showed an enormous circular [00:29:18] silver figure suspended over the Guaira Repano, along [00:29:21] with an alarming text informing about [00:29:24] the presence of strange entities in the mountain. The [00:29:28] video accumulated thousands of views and opened debates in [00:29:31] comments about a first contact. The truth is that [00:29:35] the original video was real, but it showed a [00:29:38] spaceship, but a lenticular cloud. These clouds [00:29:42] have a very particular symmetrical shape, similar to a giant [00:29:45] disc or lentil, and are formed by the interaction between [00:29:49] strong currents of humid air and mountainous [00:29:52] structures. As with global phenomena, the combination of [00:29:56] optical illusions, astronomical phenomena and the use of videos [00:30:00] created with software or AI have been the cause behind the [00:30:04] panic, the fascination. [00:30:06] 2:29 minutes, let's take a new break here in the midday broadcast of [00:30:10] Globovisión News, on the return to information in international [00:31:15] the Vera family, [00:31:31] the state of La Guaira has to be totally reconceptualized, [00:31:35] probably the constructive [00:31:37] typologies, the designs, [00:31:41] uh, the methods, [00:31:44] uh, the instruments that are incorporated in these [00:31:47] buildings will be state-of-the-art, [00:31:50] they will be high-tech modern. [00:32:06] 416 years of faith, a [00:32:10] face that calms the soul and unites [00:32:13] hearts. The Christ of Miracles, patron of [00:32:17] Táchira, guides this living [00:32:20] tradition. Francis Games accompanies the [00:32:23] closeness, a [00:32:26] story that is renewed with every step, [00:32:29] devotion that honors our roots. [00:32:33] Special coverage, Santo Cristo de la [00:32:36] Grita by [00:32:38] Globovisión. [00:33:06] 12:32 in the afternoon, [00:33:09] we are back with you to share [00:33:12] international information now within [00:33:15] the framework of this midday [00:33:17] broadcast, when one day remains for the [00:33:21] transfer of power in Colombia, Cali, the [00:33:24] capital of Valle del Cauca, remains [00:33:27] armored. That city will host the [00:33:30] inauguration of the president-elect Abelardo de la [00:33:34] Espriella, who, among other things, has promised a [00:33:37] heavy hand against organized crime and subversive [00:33:41] groups. Comuna 18. The city of [00:33:45] Cali, considered [00:33:49] the inauguration ceremony of the president-elect of Colombia [00:33:52] Abellardo del Espriella, was armored with a strong [00:33:55] contingent from the special operations group and an [00:33:59] elite army group, in preparation for the ceremony on August [00:34:02] 7. It is a neighborhood that is [00:34:06] located just 5 minutes from the USC Arena [00:34:09] of the Santiago de Cali University, where the [00:34:13] inauguration will be held. where several [00:34:16] international dignitaries will be present, [00:34:19] during the deployment of the agents, several searches were carried out [00:34:23] at different points on the hillside where criminal gangs are known to [00:34:26] operate. [00:34:29] In total, the security operation deployed in the capital of the department [00:34:33] of Valle del Cauca, in preparation for the inauguration ceremony, will have [00:34:36] about 11,000 uniformed police, army and Colombian [00:34:40] air force personnel, who will guard the avenues, the airspace, [00:34:44] the hills and the stage where the inauguration will take [00:34:47] place. Although he will not be [00:34:51] present at the swearing-in of his [00:34:53] successor, the outgoing president of Colombia, Gustavo [00:34:57] Petro, will indeed leave office this August [00:35:00] 7. After 4 years at the [00:35:03] head of the Casa de Nariño, Petro was [00:35:07] far from fulfilling his two promises, the [00:35:10] so-called total peace and the fight against [00:35:13] corruption. Despite this, his [00:35:16] executive did show progress in [00:35:19] terms of social inclusion. The [00:35:23] inclusion of historically excluded social sectors, [00:35:26] as well as the improvement of their living conditions is one of the main [00:35:30] legacies left by the outgoing president of Colombia, Gustavo [00:35:33] Petro. Indigenous, [00:35:36] Afro-Colombian, peasant leaders and representatives of [00:35:40] social organizations were part of his government or [00:35:43] held high-level responsibility positions. [00:35:47] Similarly, one of the greatest achievements of the leftist was the [00:35:50] agrarian reform, which was part of the peace agreement signed with the [00:35:54] FARC guerrilla in 2016 and which allowed [00:35:57] to formalize more than 2.28 million [00:36:00] hectares. Likewise, he delivered 351 [00:36:04] thousand to peasant families and incorporated another [00:36:07] 806,081 to advance in a more [00:36:11] equitable redistribution. Also, there was a... [00:36:28] while extreme poverty fell from 13.8 to [00:36:31] 9.6%. [00:36:34] On the other hand, there is health reform, which failed to be [00:36:37] approved by Congress, and the total peace [00:36:40] policy. The latter sought for all illegal [00:36:43] armed groups to lay down their weapons, but violence [00:36:47] persisted in different regions and some armed [00:36:50] organizations would have strengthened during the Petro [00:36:53] government. Corruption was another factor [00:36:57] that eroded the mandate of the outgoing president. The biggest [00:37:01] scandal, that of the National Risk Management Unit, [00:37:04] revealed a network of diversion of public resources and purchase of [00:37:08] political support that ended in investigations against high-ranking [00:37:11] officials, congressmen, and contractors. [00:37:15] Other cases such as the alleged irregular financing of his campaign in [00:37:18] 2022, the controversies between two close [00:37:21] collaborators such as Laura Sarabria and Armando Benedetti, as well as the [00:37:25] accusations at the end of his term for alleged influence peddling and [00:37:29] corruption, ended up weakening one of Petro's main [00:37:32] promises, to make politics different from those of [00:37:36] traditional governments. [00:37:39] With at least 30 projects in Congress, the [00:37:43] President of Chile, José Antonio Kast, [00:37:46] announced a package of reforms aimed at [00:37:49] combating organized crime. [00:37:52] Although it remains one of the safest countries [00:37:55] in Latin America, the homicide rate [00:37:59] in Chile, in the southern nation, has [00:38:02] doubled in the last decade, due to the [00:38:06] actions of foreign criminal [00:38:08] groups. [00:38:13] Chilean President José Antonio Kast announced on [00:38:16] Wednesday a legislative offensive against organized [00:38:20] crime, one of the main pillars of his government since he took [00:38:23] power in March, with the promise to tackle crime with a firm hand. [00:38:30] There are more than 30 projects, some [00:38:33] of which are already in Congress and correspond to parliamentary [00:38:37] motions, and others that we will present in the [00:38:40] coming days, which will change the way we [00:38:44] confront organized crime in [00:38:46] Chile. Although Chile continues to be one of the safest [00:38:50] countries in Latin America, the homicide rate reached [00:38:53] 5.4 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2025, [00:38:57] double that of a decade ago, in a context marked by the [00:39:01] expansion of transnational criminal organizations such as [00:39:04] the Tren de Aragua. Among the initiatives announced [00:39:08] are measures to toughen penalties against those who recruit [00:39:12] minors for criminal activities, extend the flagrancy [00:39:15] period from 12 to 24 hours to facilitate [00:39:18] arrests, and reinforce the expulsions of irregular [00:39:21] migrants. We are going to [00:39:24] send to the National Congress a constitutional [00:39:27] reform that unambiguously enshrines that [00:39:31] protecting the safety of people is a duty of the [00:39:35] state and that will allow us to have a much [00:39:38] broader framework of action and more effective tools [00:39:41] to combat crime. Belonging to [00:39:45] a criminal organization will itself be a crime [00:39:49] with aggravated penalties. The [00:39:52] announcement comes at a time when Kast faces questioning [00:39:55] for the lack of quick results from his security strategy and after [00:39:59] the departure of his first security minister, just [00:40:02] 69 days after taking [00:40:05] office. In addition to his diplomatic [00:40:09] differences with the United States, Brazil is experiencing [00:40:12] similar clashes with Argentina. The [00:40:15] government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has [00:40:19] decided to withdraw its ambassador in Buenos Aires [00:40:23] and downgrade the bilateral relationship to the [00:40:26] level of chargés d'affaires. The Brazilian executive [00:40:30] argued that the decision is Brazil's response to [00:40:33] the repeated attacks made by Argentine President [00:40:37] Javier Milei. With this note, [00:40:40] we will conclude this section of international [00:40:44] news, then we will take a break, and we will [00:40:46] be back with more of this midday broadcast of [00:40:50] Globo News. [00:40:53] The diplomatic conflict began when Milei attended 10 days ago in Sao [00:40:57] Paulo the officialization of the presidential candidacy of Lula's [00:41:00] right-wing opponent in the Brazilian elections in October, Flavio [00:41:03] Bolsonaro, son of the former president Jair [00:41:06] Bolsonaro. On that occasion, he accused the Brazilian [00:41:10] government without proof of political interference against Buenos Aires, and [00:41:13] insulted, without directly mentioning them, Lula and Supreme [00:41:16] Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Then Brazil [00:41:20] recalled its ambassador in Argentina, Julio Bitelli, for the [00:41:23] offenses made by the Argentine president and summoned [00:41:27] the ambassador of that country to ask for explanations [00:41:30] for the aggressions. [00:41:34] Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno had sought to lower the tone of the [00:41:37] dispute, emphasizing that from Argentina's [00:41:40] perspective, there is absolutely no possibility of the diplomatic [00:41:44] relationship breaking. However, in recent days Milei [00:41:48] redoubled his criticism of Lula in different interviews. [00:42:10] health goes beyond urgency, it is [00:42:14] built with evidence, with questions that others avoid, very [00:42:18] important, a market respecting myopia, years ago [00:42:21] we understood that medical information should not scare, [00:42:25] it should protect, we compare studies, [00:42:28] we consult experts and filter everything to keep [00:42:31] what is truly important for your life, beyond [00:42:35] replicating alarms we give you certainties hand in [00:42:38] hand. [00:42:40] because caring for your well-being more than a service is a commitment that [00:42:44] we renew every day.

[00:43:07] The world is not understood in headlines, it is understood in [00:43:10] context. [00:43:12] Events that transcend borders, [00:43:16] every conflict, every protest is not an isolated event, it is part of [00:43:20] a much deeper global [00:43:21] plot, [00:43:25] because geopolitics happens far away, it is in your country's [00:43:28] economy, in the technology you use, in the rights you defend. Do you want [00:43:32] to understand the world? Then it's not enough to just [00:43:35] see it, you have to broaden your [00:43:36] perspective.
