In the political, [00:01:31] social, economic and [00:01:33] cultural panorama, every [00:01:37] Wednesday, only on Telesur. [00:01:41] so that, from [00:02:00] Hello, welcome to this edition of Telesur Noticias, I am Arani [00:02:04] Flores, it's a pleasure to accompany you. We immediately begin our [00:02:07] journey and we do so in Venezuela. The government [00:02:10] delivered 212 rehabilitated homes in the Santa Rosalía [00:02:14] parish of Caracas, for the benefit of more than [00:02:17] 980 people affected by the seismic doublet [00:02:20] of June 24. The delivery of the rehabilitated properties [00:02:24] is part of the agenda framed in the Venezuela [00:02:27] Renace Plan promoted by the acting president Elsy [00:02:30] Rodríguez to guarantee the right to housing. In the state [00:02:34] of La Guaira, the most affected region after the seismic events, the [00:02:38] delivery of 60 apartments was made, allowing the [00:02:41] return of 302 people to their homes. [00:02:44] In this regard, the acting president praised the work [00:02:48] achieved during the repair of structures, after the [00:02:52] devastation that affected Venezuelan [00:02:54] homes. [00:03:00] Well, we are here in [00:03:03] in contrast to the timid Santa Rosalía, the Santa Rosalía parish, in the gigantic Urbanism of [00:03:07] Latin America, with the presidential commission for housing [00:03:11] rehabilitation, with the president of the Plan [00:03:14] Venezuela Renace, the mayor of Caracas, the community [00:03:18] of Hiroshima has sent spokespersons, today is a day of happiness, [00:03:22] because we are [00:03:24] of Prime Minister Sanaet returning 212 homes [00:03:26] to people, 983 people who... [00:03:30] to their homes thanks to the Venezuela [00:03:33] Renace plan, to the community brigades of [00:03:36] Venezuela Renace, [00:03:39] the acting president of Venezuela [00:03:42] landlord agree on Delcy Rodríguez assured that the repairs of homes are continuing [00:03:45] in all affected states of the country after the seismic [00:03:48] doublet. I want to inform that [00:03:52] just as we are delivering these 212 homes here in Santa [00:03:56] Rosalía, we are repairing more than [00:04:00] 13,000 homes in all affected states [00:04:03] previously rehabilitated by the presidential commission, more than [00:04:07] 13,000 homes [00:04:10] have blocked any we are repairing to benefit 66,000 [00:04:13] people, mothers, [00:04:16] children, grandparents who return [00:04:19] to their homes as a family. On the other [00:04:23] hand, the acting president of Venezuela, Delhi Rodríguez, [00:04:26] led a strategic working meeting with high-level [00:04:30] representatives of international firms specialized [00:04:33] in seismic engineering. The meeting [00:04:36] sought to design structural evaluation and recovery [00:04:39] strategies for infrastructure with the [00:04:42] objective of guaranteeing the safety and well-being of the Venezuelan [00:04:46] people. During the day, the acting president was [00:04:49] accompanied by the founder and executive director of [00:04:52] Miyamoto International, Hideki Kit Miyamoto, the [00:04:56] executive director of TFI Solutions [00:04:59] Noah. Josett and the lead engineer [00:05:03] Daniel Cabero Rodríguez. With this initiative, the national [00:05:06] government reaffirms its commitment to sustainable urban [00:05:10] development and high-level technical cooperation [00:05:13] within the framework of comprehensive prevention and attention [00:05:16] policies. [00:05:26] Strengthening legal security in the rental market [00:05:29] is one of the objectives of the Venezuelan state with the recent [00:05:33] approval of the law on the special regime for the rental [00:05:36] of properties intended for housing. Our colleague [00:05:40] Leonardo Urrieta tells us more about it. [00:05:45] This legal instrument, approved by the Venezuelan Parliament, [00:05:48] aims to update real estate sector regulations, [00:05:51] according to Deputy Jesús Ortega of the United Socialist Party of [00:05:55] Venezuela, the law will contribute to a [00:05:59] win-win relationship between the owner and the tenant, President [00:06:03] Delsi Rodríguez raises the [00:06:06] need to accelerate this process of the law and obviously the [00:06:09] Parliament set out to give it. this law, [00:06:13] this law largely, I think favors both sides, [00:06:17] they would say in my town 50/50, half and [00:06:20] half, because although it protects the owner of the [00:06:23] property, it also offers guarantees to the tenant, [00:06:27] before there was a practically leonine contract, [00:06:31] you paid 6 months, you had to have a mercantile company for [00:06:35] them to rent to you, three deposits, three advances, all that has [00:06:38] changed in this new law, but it also allows whoever... [00:06:42] with effort bought their home and had it as [00:06:45] an option for an extra [00:06:48] income to know that their property will be protected, the [00:06:52] law on the special regime for the rental of properties [00:06:55] intended for housing protects the national real estate [00:06:59] market, guarantees the right to housing and the protection of [00:07:02] families, another aspect is that the amount of the rent is an [00:07:06] agreement between the owner and the tenant, the law [00:07:10] establishes that it will be a maximum of three months. deposit and [00:07:13] can be paid in Bolivars or in foreign currency. [00:07:17] Economic experts consider that bank [00:07:20] loans will be fundamental for these operations. The Venezuelan [00:07:24] public bank today has sufficient capital and assets [00:07:27] to face these operations with great [00:07:30] capacity. In the event of a conflict of breach of contract, [00:07:34] it is also being taken into account that peace judges can [00:07:38] participate, they can participate [00:07:41] eh. seeking a negotiated solution, but [00:07:45] there is also the case of taking any case of [00:07:49] eviction of a family that is [00:07:53] rented, this is not in the power of the police [00:07:57] forces as they did in the Fourth Republic, who [00:08:00] lent themselves to such things and evicted families without [00:08:04] caring about the situation of vulnerability [00:08:07] in which they were left, today according [00:08:11] to this law, to be able to evict a family, [00:08:14] a tenant, it has to be determined [00:08:17] by a court. The double earthquake of last June [00:08:20] 24 prompted the updating of the law to [00:08:24] continue guaranteeing the right to housing. This law [00:08:28] is very timely, it is very timely [00:08:30] and creates a legal window, a [00:08:34] legal framework for very interesting lease [00:08:37] contracts, because first it guarantees a [00:08:40] very broad freedom of contract. the state is intervening and [00:08:44] regulating a sector guaranteeing a very [00:08:47] interesting contractual freedom where the [00:08:51] tenant and the [00:08:54] the terms of the contract, so it will [00:08:58] allow it to be done in foreign currency, it can [00:09:01] be done with different criteria with different [00:09:04] terms not less than a year and the [00:09:08] law also specifies very clearly that the [00:09:11] tenant can [00:09:31] In Cali, Colombia, authorities reinforced the security [00:09:34] device a few hours after the inauguration of the [00:09:38] president-elect Abelardo de la Espriella, the measure responds [00:09:42] to the denunciation made by the outgoing president Gustavo [00:09:45] Petro about the possible existence of tens of [00:09:48] tons of explosives stored in the [00:09:51] city amidst a climate of political tension and latent [00:09:55] threats against the stability of the transition [00:09:57] process. In this context, the outgoing government [00:10:00] prioritizes citizen protection and the safeguarding [00:10:03] of the institutional event, while military and police [00:10:07] forces intensified searches to neutralize [00:10:11] any risk. [00:10:20] and given the dismantling of rights announced by the president-elect [00:10:23] in Colombia. [00:10:27] Various social and political organizations will form a large [00:10:30] coordinated action front to reject any regressive [00:10:34] policy in the country, as a first measure, a national [00:10:38] meeting will be held at the end of August. Hernan [00:10:41] Tobar shares details with us. [00:10:44] Trade unions, social and political organizations announced [00:10:47] the formation of a space to articulate struggles in defense of the political [00:10:51] and social advances achieved in the country. Given the arrival of the [00:10:55] Abelardo de la Espriella government, which threatens to reverse social policies, with [00:10:58] this objective, a first national meeting has been proposed [00:11:01] for August 28 and 29 to consolidate a [00:11:05] space for articulation and which aims to directly [00:11:09] analyze part of [00:11:12] we will develop in the construction of a national mobilization [00:11:15] agenda to respond to everything that the [00:11:18] announcements of Mr. Abelardo de la Espriella have [00:11:21] meant and which is assumed [00:11:25] within the framework of a totally regressive policy in terms [00:11:29] of denying advances and achievements made [00:11:33] in the government of change of Gustavo Petro. We consider that [00:11:36] issues that are related to the violation of sovereignty, [00:11:40] independence and the principle of self-determination of peoples, [00:11:43] where this gentleman has directly proposed to fold [00:11:47] to the interests of US foreign policy. [00:11:51] We believe that here it is a fundamental fact to defend what [00:11:54] represents for us sovereignty and above all to [00:11:57] advance in a process of defense of democracy. The organizations [00:12:00] warn of the consequences of the implementation of interventionist [00:12:04] policies sponsored by Washington and [00:12:07] promoted by Delaspriella himself, among [00:12:10] them proposals such as converting one of the main [00:12:14] cities in the country into the headquarters of the US regional security plan, [00:12:17] Shield of the Americas. [00:12:20] Obviously, the statements of Abelardo de las Priella not only [00:12:23] outrage us. as anti-imperialists, as anti-fascists that [00:12:26] we have always been, but they worry us in terms of the [00:12:30] violations that are coming over the Colombian people, we already saw the murders [00:12:33] in the Caribbean, of the rafters, we have already seen the control of the border in the [00:12:37] Orinoco with the flimsy excuse of controlling Venezuela and we are seeing [00:12:41] a territorial encirclement of the Colombian people, a people that has [00:12:44] shown that it has risen from popular [00:12:47] and social organization and that today is frankly [00:12:50] threatened by who will be the next president. [00:12:53] David, from the base and leader of one of the organizations, assures [00:12:57] us that given the risk scenario represented by an [00:13:01] extractivist policy and the announcements about repealing the [00:13:04] decrees that protect areas for agricultural production and the [00:13:08] curtailment of advances in land delivery by the new [00:13:11] president, mobilization, as they have historically done, will [00:13:15] be a tool to assert their rights. The government's announcements are truly [00:13:19] worrying. So. [00:13:23] Yes, I think that we as [00:13:26] a federation are ready, we are [00:13:29] looking at the possible [00:13:33] solutions, [00:13:35] since the government takes office on the seventh and many things will [00:13:39] change, of course, for that we must be prepared, here the [00:13:43] achievements have not been easy, Fenzoagro is an organization [00:13:47] that will celebrate 50 years of resistance, in [00:13:51] December we celebrate [00:13:53] 50 years of struggle. Resistance since its foundation, that is why [00:13:57] we defend this scenario, [00:14:00] because it is a legacy that the peasantry and the [00:14:04] leaders have left us. A few days before the new president [00:14:07] receives his investiture, social organizations have warned that they will develop [00:14:11] a series of mobilizations and sit-ins to demonstrate their [00:14:14] opposition to the government, which they consider illegitimate, [00:14:17] in full exercise of their right to peaceful protest and [00:14:20] disobedience.

Know and be part of [00:15:26] atumun every Thursday only on [00:15:29] Telesur. [00:16:02] Back here at Telesur Noticias, let's talk about what's happening in West [00:16:06] Asia, at least two people have died and more than [00:16:10] 20 have been injured by the brutal Israeli [00:16:13] genocide bombings against residential [00:16:16] areas in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese [00:16:20] Ministry of Health confirmed that the Zionist [00:16:22] air force bombed the town of [00:16:26] Teptin, where it hit residential [00:16:29] areas as well as a cemetery. Almost simultaneously, the genocidaires [00:16:32] attacked the town of Almansori, [00:16:36] forcing dozens of families [00:16:39] to abandon their homes, a few hours [00:16:43] earlier and without any justification, [00:16:46] the war criminals issued eviction orders for the [00:16:50] area prior to this attack and without [00:16:53] knowing the origin of the facts, the Zionist [00:16:56] military authorities confirmed the death of two of their [00:17:00] soldiers and another seven injured in an explosion [00:17:03] that occurred in southern Lebanon, despite the ceasefire [00:17:07] in force, just as it does in Gaza, [00:17:11] Israel maintains a military presence [00:17:13] in Lebanon with almost [00:17:22] daily aggressions. The neighborhoods attacked on Thursday [00:17:26] are residential and their residents assure [00:17:29] that early on Thursday morning they were attacked [00:17:33] with white phosphorus, a chemical forbidden [00:17:36] in all world conventions. Japan commemorates [00:17:40] this Thursday the 81st anniversary of the attack [00:17:43] by the United States that ended the lives of 140 [00:17:46] thousand people after the dropping of the atomic [00:17:49] bomb Little Boy. The mayor [00:17:53] of Hiroshima sent a harsh [00:17:56] reminder to humanity, the presence of Prime [00:17:59] Minister Sanaet Takaishi and thousands [00:18:02] of citizens who gathered at the Peace [00:18:06] Park. Mayor Kasumi Matu [00:18:09] assured that nuclear weapons continue [00:18:11] to be used by great powers as a tool [00:18:15] of intimidation. At 8:15 a.m. [00:18:18] this Thursday, Japan local [00:18:21] time, millions of citizens observed [00:18:24] a minute of silence. 81 years ago, [00:18:28] at that same time, the United States [00:18:32] launched the deadly bombing that lasted [00:18:35] 43 seconds. The regional authority, [00:18:41] message of Prime [00:18:41] Minister Report8, [00:18:46] reproached, I meant, the world leaders [00:18:49] who, with their excuses and their warmongering [00:18:52] rhetoric, have blocked any progress in disarmament. [00:18:56] The agreement of the review conference of the [00:18:59] Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons has [00:19:03] failed for the third consecutive time, instead [00:19:06] of a consensus document. The following: [00:19:09] we express our deep joy and community [00:19:13] satisfaction at the release from prison of [00:19:16] our brothers Luis Pacheco and Héctor [00:19:19] Chaculán, their return to their families, to [00:19:22] their community is a worthy triumph and peaceful [00:19:26] resistance. We recognize and honor [00:19:30] the leadership they assumed during 2023 [00:19:32] in defense of democracy and the rule of law. [00:19:36] Their dedication, their courage and leadership [00:19:40] not only represent the voice of Totomicapán, [00:19:42] but also become a beacon of hope for an entire [00:19:46] nation. With the participation of 25 [00:19:50] electoral bodies from 32 countries in Latin [00:19:53] America and the Caribbean, the Virtual Regional Forum, [00:19:57] Resilience, Cooperation and Integrity, Elections [00:20:00] in the 21st Century, was held within the framework [00:20:04] of the 2026 Summit in Mexico. During the [00:20:08] meeting, delegations from Argentina, Bolivia, Canada, [00:20:11] Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, [00:20:15] Paraguay, Peru, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Dominican [00:20:19] Republic, Suriname, Uruguay, among others, focused [00:20:22] their interventions on two fundamental axes: disinformation [00:20:26] and digital violence, identified as the main [00:20:30] risks to electoral integrity in the region. [00:20:33] The representatives expressed their concern about the [00:20:38] increasing spread of fake news, smear campaigns [00:20:41] against electoral authorities, attacks and threats on [00:20:45] social networks, as well as the impact of the use [00:20:48] of new technologies and artificial intelligence [00:20:51] for content manipulation. Likewise, the participants [00:20:55] agreed on the need to deepen technical cooperation [00:21:01] of the region to face common challenges. The 2026 [00:21:04] Summit will conclude with a face-to-face meeting next [00:21:08] September in Mexico City, where it is expected [00:21:11] to consolidate agreements that guarantee the transparency [00:21:14] and legitimacy of electoral processes on the continent. [00:21:18] A short break and we'll be back. [00:21:26] Back here at Telesur Noticias, [00:22:14] let's talk about what's happening in West Asia, at least two [00:22:17] people have died and more than 20 have been [00:22:21] injured by the brutal Israeli genocide [00:22:24] bombings against residential areas in southern [00:22:27] Lebanon. The Lebanese Ministry of Health confirmed [00:22:31] that the Zionist air force bombed [00:22:34] the town of Teptin, [00:22:37] where it hit residential areas [00:22:41] as well as a cemetery. Almost simultaneously, the genocidaires [00:22:45] attacked the town of Almansori, forcing [00:22:47] dozens of families to [00:22:51] abandon their homes, a few hours earlier [00:22:54] and without any justification, the war [00:22:58] criminals issued eviction orders for the area [00:23:01] prior to this attack and without knowing the [00:23:05] origin of the facts, the Zionist military [00:23:08] authorities confirmed the death of two of their [00:23:11] soldiers and another seven injured in an [00:23:14] explosion that occurred in southern Lebanon, despite [00:23:18] the ceasefire in force, just as it does in [00:23:22] Gaza, Israel maintains a military presence [00:23:25] in Lebanon with almost daily aggressions. The [00:23:29] neighborhoods attacked on Thursday are [00:23:31] residential and their residents assure that [00:23:35] early on Thursday morning they were attacked [00:23:38] with white phosphorus, a chemical forbidden [00:23:41] in all world conventions.

The regional authority, in contrast [00:24:47] to the timid message of the Prime Minister, [00:24:51] reproached, I meant, the world leaders who, [00:24:54] with their excuses and their warmongering rhetoric, [00:25:00] progress in disarmament. The agreement of the review [00:25:04] conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation [00:25:07] of Nuclear Weapons has [00:25:20] failed for the third consecutive time, instead [00:25:24] of a consensus document. The Salvadorans are [00:25:27] celebrating, from August 1st to 6th, the [00:25:30] patron saint festivities are celebrated, marked by cultural, artistic, [00:25:34] sports, entertainment and religious events.
