[00:01:42] 980 people
[00:01:45] because they are going to ask questions, they are going to talk with affected by the seismic doublet of June 24. The
[00:01:48] delivery of the rehabilitated properties is part of the agenda
[00:01:51] framed in the Venezuela Renace Plan, promoted by the
[00:01:55] acting president Elsi Rodríguez to guarantee the right to
[00:01:59] housing in the state of Alaguaira, the most affected region after

[00:02:06] spending. The UN chief made, allowing the return of 302
[00:02:10] people to their homes. In this regard, the acting president
[00:02:13] praised the work achieved during the repair of
[00:02:16] structures, after the devastation that affected Venezuelan
[00:02:20] homes.
[00:02:25] Well, we are here in Santa Rosalía, the Santa
[00:02:29] Rosalía parish. in the giant urbanism of
[00:02:33] Latin America, with the presidential commission for the
[00:02:36] resilience sculpted one of habilitation of housing, with the
[00:02:39] president of the Venezuela Renace Plan, the mayor of Caracas, the
[00:02:43] community spokespersons, today is a day of
[00:02:46] happiness, because we are returning
[00:02:50] 212 homes
[00:02:52] Games Santo Domingo 2026 in
[00:02:53] year. Currently, under the pressure to people, poverty in Argentina again 983 people who return to their homes, thanks to the
[00:02:57] Venezuela Renace plan. to the
[00:03:00] community brigades of Venezuela
[00:03:02] Renace,
[00:03:04] that the acting president of Venezuela DC Rodríguez assured that the
[00:03:08] repairs of homes in all affected states of the country
[00:03:12] due to the seismic doublet continue.
[00:03:15] I want to inform that just as we are delivering
[00:03:18] here in Santa Rosalía these
[00:03:21] 212 homes, we are repairing in all
[00:03:25] affected states more than 13,000 homes,
[00:03:28] previously enabled
[00:03:31] as the growth of informal by the presidential commission, more than
[00:03:32] athlete confessed that in the 13,000 homes we are

[00:03:40] on the weight of the bar and on people, mothers, children, grandparents
[00:03:43] who as a family return to their
[00:03:46] home. On the other hand, the acting president of
[00:03:49] Venezuela led a strategic working meeting
[00:03:53] with high representatives of international firms specialized
[00:03:57] in seismic engineering. The meeting
[00:04:00] sought to design structural evaluation and infrastructure
[00:04:03] recovery strategies with the aim of guaranteeing the
[00:04:07] security and well-being of the Venezuelan people. During the
[00:04:10] day, the acting president was accompanied by the founder and
[00:04:14] executive director of
[00:04:16] series of reforms aimed at Miyamoto International Hideki Kit Millamoto, the
[00:04:19] executive director of
[00:04:22] satisfaction that you feel that everything TFI Solutions Noah Scott and the lead
[00:04:25] engineer Daniel Cabero Rodríguez. With this
[00:04:27] initiative, the national government seeks or reaffirms its
[00:04:32] a warehouse of medical supplies from commitment to sustainable urban development and high-level
[00:04:34] technical cooperation within the framework of comprehensive
[00:04:38] prevention and attention
[00:04:39] policies.
[00:04:48] commissions aimed at Strengthening legal security in the rental market is
[00:04:51] one of the objectives of the Venezuelan state with the recent approval of
[00:04:54] the law on the special regime for leasing properties
[00:04:57] intended for housing. Our colleague
[00:05:00] Leonardo Hurriata brings us
[00:05:02] details:
[00:05:05] this legal instrument approved by the Venezuelan Parliament
[00:05:08] aims to update the regulations of the real estate sector. Rodríguez
[00:05:25] raises the need to accelerate this process of the law and
[00:05:29] obviously the parliament was focused on responding to this law,
[00:05:33] this law largely I think
[00:05:35] favors both sides, as they would say in
[00:05:39] my town, half and half, because while it protects
[00:05:43] the owner of the property, the owner of the property, it also provides guarantees
[00:05:47] to the tenant, before there was
[00:05:49] a practically leonine contract, you paid 6 months, you had to have a
[00:05:53] commercial company for them to rent to you, three deposits, three
[00:05:57] advances, all that has changed in this new law, but it also
[00:06:01] allows those who with effort bought their home and had it
[00:06:04] as an option for an extra
[00:06:08] income to know that their property will be
[00:06:11] protected. The law on the special regime for leasing properties
[00:06:15] intended for housing protects the national real
[00:06:18] estate market, guarantees the
[00:06:22] families, another aspect is that the amount of the rent is
[00:06:26] an agreement between the owner and the tenant. The law
[00:06:30] establishes that there will be a maximum of 3 months' deposit and
[00:06:33] it can be paid in Bolivars or in foreign currency.
[00:06:37] Economy experts believe that bank
[00:06:40] loans will be fundamental for these operations, the Venezuelan
[00:06:44] public banking today has sufficient capital and assets
[00:06:47] to face these operations with great capacity,
[00:06:51] if a conflict of breach of contract
[00:06:54] occurs, it is also taken into account that peace judges
[00:06:57] can participate, they can
[00:06:59] participate eh seeking a
[00:07:03] negotiated solution, but
[00:07:05] there is also the case of taking any case of
[00:07:09] eviction of a family that is
[00:07:13] renting, this is not within the power of
[00:07:17] the police forces as they did in the fourth republic, who
[00:07:20] lent themselves to these things and evicted families,
[00:07:23] not caring about the situation in which they were
[00:07:27] left in a disadvantaged position, today according
[00:07:31] to this law, to be able to evict a family
[00:07:34] a tenant must be determined by a
[00:07:37] court, the double earthquake of last June
[00:07:40] 24 prompted the update of the law to
[00:07:44] continue guaranteeing the right to housing, this law is
[00:07:48] very timely, it is very timely
[00:07:50] and generates a legal window, a
[00:07:54] legal framework for for for rental
[00:07:57] contracts, very interesting because it first guarantees a very
[00:08:01] broad freedom of contract, the state is intervening and
[00:08:04] regulating this sector guaranteeing a very
[00:08:07] interesting contractual freedom where the
[00:08:11] tenant and the landlord agree
[00:08:14] on the terms of the contract, so this
[00:08:18] will allow it to be done in foreign currency, it can
[00:08:21] be done with different criteria with different
[00:08:24] terms, not less than a year and the law
[00:08:28] also specifies very clearly that
[00:08:31] the tenant can pay in
[00:08:33] Bolivars always at the exchange rate of the BCV, with the 27
[00:08:37] articles of this legal instrument, the Venezuelan state
[00:08:40] plans to revitalize the market.
[00:08:51] Also in Venezuela, the Minister for Transport
[00:08:55] Francisco Garcés has reported that the Simón Bolívar
[00:08:58] International Airport of Maiquetía formally restarted its
[00:09:01] cargo and unloading operations after registering
[00:09:05] the arrival of a flight from Panama, in this way and in
[00:09:08] record time they put an end to the paralysis caused by the
[00:09:12] double earthquake that affected the main air terminal of the
[00:09:16] country last June 24, the minister indicated that
[00:09:19] this first phase of logistical reactivation was
[00:09:22] achieved thanks to intense weeks of technical work
[00:09:26] carried out jointly between his ministerial
[00:09:29] portfolio and various international support teams,
[00:09:32] highlighting the continuous effort of the national government to
[00:09:36] guarantee the well-being and stability of all Venezuelans,
[00:09:39] he detailed that this advance was consolidated with the arrival
[00:09:43] of a second flight from Bogotá, the Colombian capital,
[00:09:47] with more than 13 tons of merchandise to strengthen commercial
[00:09:51] exchange, dynamize the aeronautical
[00:09:53] sector and accelerate the re-impulse of the main gateway
[00:09:57] to the national
[00:09:59] territory.
[00:10:08] The United Nations Development Program on Wednesday
[00:10:11] described the Venezuelan government's response to the
[00:10:14] earthquakes of June 24, which caused numerous human
[00:10:18] losses and severe material damage, as timely and
[00:10:22] adequate. The organization has consolidated an alliance with the Bolivarian
[00:10:25] nation and has activated a key tool that very
[00:10:29] few countries have, according to Luis Francisco
[00:10:32] Tais, resident representative of the organization in
[00:10:36] Caracas. It is a data system capable of evaluating
[00:10:39] damage in hours and not in weeks. According to the
[00:10:43] organization, in the first hours of the tragedy, the
[00:10:46] biggest challenge was not the lack of resources, but the
[00:10:49] absence of reliable information, the government of
[00:10:53] Venezuela, through Penut, activated the Rápida system, which
[00:10:57] integrates satellite images and artificial
[00:10:59] intelligence to evaluate damage in real time. In a
[00:11:03] meeting held in the Venezuelan capital, the multilateral
[00:11:06] organization assured that the alliance not only responds to
[00:11:09] the disaster, but at the same time builds a national
[00:11:13] intelligence system for future
[00:11:15] emergencies.
[00:11:25] In the same way, the acting president of Venezuela, Delc Rodríguez, visited
[00:11:29] the Boca Café enterprise in Caracas, an initiative aimed
[00:11:33] at strengthening national production and expanding its
[00:11:36] presence in international markets, as
[00:11:39] ordered by the law for the promotion of coffee
[00:11:42] recently approved by the Parliament. The
[00:11:46] project led by the producer Víctor Montilla from
[00:11:49] Boconó, Trujillo state, began with just over
[00:11:53] 500 coffee plants. and managed to position itself by
[00:11:57] the quality of its products. In 2023, Boca Café
[00:12:01] won the Gold Cup at the second International Specialty
[00:12:04] Coffee Meeting of Venezuela, with a score of
[00:12:08] 90.11 points for its Monteclaro
[00:12:11] variety. According to representatives of the venture, in
[00:12:15] 2025 they exported 500 kg of coffee,
[00:12:18] while during the first months of 2026, of
[00:12:22] 2026, they have already sent between
[00:12:25] 300 kilos to international
[00:12:27] markets.
[00:12:33] does the new coffee law benefit? well,
[00:12:36] seeing it, it is about arguing the
[00:12:40] factors well so that the producer can really
[00:12:43] reach, there are things to see, you have to be honest, there are things to see and
[00:12:47] evaluate it in the evaluations that I suppose they will make so that
[00:12:51] the producer has that complete link with the buyers of Boca Café.
[00:12:55] the result of a family commitment to national
[00:12:58] production, its founder remembers how a life
[00:13:02] decision opened the way to a venture
[00:13:05] dedicated to specialty coffee,
[00:13:07] that we say we are going to go or we are going to stay, thank God we did not go, we had those two
[00:13:11] blessings and we stayed here believing, believing in our
[00:13:14] country, believing in what we are as a family, which is the most
[00:13:17] important thing, and well, I ran into coffee because I never
[00:13:43] the world is constantly moving and every
[00:13:47] day new events are generated, global
[00:13:49] geopolitics moves, we ask ourselves what is behind
[00:13:53] each event, what are the consequences and how do they
[00:13:56] affect us, in view of these questions we will try to make a
[00:14:00] point.
[00:14:06] Only on Telesur.
[00:14:25] We are back and immediately move forward with information from Peru. Cardinal
[00:14:29] Carlos Castillo assured this Wednesday in Lima, the
[00:14:32] capital, that the true spiritual preparation to
[00:14:35] receive Pope Leo XIV, whose official visit was
[00:14:39] confirmed by the Vatican for next November, necessarily
[00:14:43] involves combating violent situations
[00:14:46] in the country. The highest representative of the Peruvian
[00:14:49] Catholic Church emphasized that the arrival of the pontiff should
[00:14:53] motivate not only the liturgical organization in the cities of
[00:14:57] Lima, Chiclayo, Pucalpa and Cuzco,
[00:15:01] but also a firm social commitment to
[00:15:04] justice and public safety. He also
[00:15:07] detailed that the involved dioceses are already
[00:15:10] working on the formation of
[00:15:13] reflecting unity, service and hope
[00:15:16] during the papal tour scheduled from
[00:15:20] November 11 to 17. However, the bishop
[00:15:23] stressed that the religious dimension of this
[00:15:26] event is inseparable from the
[00:15:29] national reality, so he urged the authorities to
[00:15:33] seriously investigate the intellectual authors of the criminal
[00:15:36] networks that plague Peruvian territory.
[00:15:50] the most important point of a spiritual preparation
[00:15:54] is the encounter, community
[00:15:57] life
[00:16:00] also the spiritual dimension of prayer,
[00:16:03] but that knows how to integrate
[00:16:06] prayer with action, if we could
[00:16:10] achieve several things before the Pope's
[00:16:14] arrival could be improved or
[00:16:18] controlled, for example, I believe that a true
[00:16:22] spiritual preparation is to reduce extortion and
[00:16:25] violence,
[00:16:28] contract killings, all the things that are
[00:16:31] happening and not only by force,
[00:16:34] but by seriously investigating
[00:16:38] who is moving all that and how
[00:16:41] it can be overcome through a true sanction,
[00:16:44] Cardinal Carlos Castillo also highlighted the massive
[00:16:49] volunteer work, he has highlighted their great
[00:16:52] solidarity capacity to help in soup kitchens and
[00:16:56] support
[00:16:57] children,
[00:17:01] look, we are already organizing and
[00:17:04] one thing that the Pope himself has asked for: is that
[00:17:08] when there are meetings with everyone, especially with young
[00:17:11] people, that the young people have met
[00:17:15] beforehand to prepare the questions they are
[00:17:19] going to ask,
[00:17:22] the then we have to send the questions
[00:17:26] beforehand, that is still one of the tasks
[00:17:29] that remains, of course, and in these questions
[00:17:33] there should be previously in the parishes, in the discussion groups, that
[00:17:37] is, what do we ask the Pope
[00:17:40] we have to do from
[00:17:43] what we are proposing no, the truth is
[00:17:47] that there is a great enthusiasm on the part of young people
[00:17:50] eh, I think that also reveals the absence
[00:17:54] of references, but also that young people
[00:17:58] also intuit interesting things, no, especially
[00:18:01] that they are very very eager to help
[00:18:04] in the most difficult situations, volunteer. they
[00:18:08] fill up with people everywhere, because they are going to
[00:18:11] help children to
[00:18:15] read, they are going to help people in
[00:18:18] soup kitchens, they bring, they bring food,
[00:18:20] they are extremely agile to invent
[00:18:24] ways to serve,
[00:18:28] registered an increase during the first quarter of
[00:18:31] 2026, according to a report from the Argentine Social Debt
[00:18:34] Laboratory of the University.
[00:18:37] Argentina. The study indicates that the index reached nearly
[00:18:41] 30% of the population, while indigence reached 6.5%.
[00:18:45] Among the causes mentioned are the increase in food
[00:18:48] prices above incomes and difficulties
[00:18:52] in the labor market. The report warns of a change in
[00:18:56] trend after several periods of decline, with a deceleration
[00:18:59] in the reduction of poverty and a scenario of
[00:19:03] stagnation. In addition, it points to factors such
[00:19:09] employment and the loss of purchasing power
[00:19:13] of households that continue to mark the evolution of
[00:19:16] social indicators in
[00:19:18] Argentina.
[00:19:27] This Wednesday, the Public Prosecutor's Office of Guatemala acknowledged that
[00:19:31] under the management of former Attorney General Consuelo
[00:19:34] Porras, the institution was used to criminalize
[00:19:37] justice operators, indigenous authorities, journalists
[00:19:41] and human rights defenders. The highest authority
[00:19:45] of the Public Prosecutor's Office in this nation attributed this situation to the
[00:19:48] influence of corruption structures and announced a
[00:19:54] reestablishing legality and trust in
[00:19:57] the organization. Among the measures are the reorganization of
[00:20:01] prosecutor's offices, the reincorporation of personnel separated during the
[00:20:04] previous administration and the return to mechanisms for
[00:20:08] searching for missing persons,
[00:20:11] human rights organizations valued the recognition
[00:20:14] as an important step, although they insisted
[00:20:18] on the need to promote concrete actions to
[00:20:21] guarantee justice and reparation.
[00:20:34] As we said in the headlines, amidst the genocidal blockade that...
[00:20:37] The United States has against Cuba, the revolutionary government prioritizes
[00:20:41] the well-being of the people. This August 5, the new
[00:20:45] regulations of the Ministry of Internal Trade have been published
[00:20:48] to reorganize wholesale trade, create neighborhood
[00:20:51] markets and strengthen the family care system,
[00:20:54] the brutality of the blockade has also hit
[00:20:58] internal supply, given the limitations,
[00:21:01] the ministry has launched the neighborhood market
[00:21:05] project, an initiative that seeks to guarantee access to
[00:21:08] basic necessities for the most vulnerable population.
[00:21:12] These new provisions also include tax
[00:21:15] incentives to lower prices with bonuses
[00:21:18] of up to 10% in the wholesale sales
[00:21:22] tax, the new regulations will also
[00:21:25] regulate supply markets to allow
[00:21:28] direct access to natural and legal persons,
[00:21:32] it also updates the regulations of the family
[00:21:35] care system that serves the most vulnerable and exceptionally
[00:21:39] pregnant women who require nutritional
[00:21:41] reinforcement.
[00:21:45] a service that is provided in a gastronomic unit can
[00:21:49] be managed by economic actors, both state and non-state
[00:21:52] outside of trade, therefore it can
[00:21:55] happen that a company with certain results
[00:21:59] with certain income decides to manage that
[00:22:02] gastronomic unit, to serve the beneficiaries of the SAP
[00:22:06] and offer a quality service and
[00:22:09] in the hours that do not include the provision of this service, to be able
[00:22:13] to provide gastronomic services. The minister also reported
[00:22:16] on the tax benefits.
[00:22:20] for us to ensure that the products sold in these
[00:22:23] establishments have a price
[00:22:26] reduction, between 10 and 15% compared to the reference
[00:22:30] price of the rest of establishments that sell similar
[00:22:33] products. We now talk about the United
[00:22:36] States, the anti-immigrant policy of the US
[00:22:40] government has reached unprecedented levels, civil rights
[00:22:43] organizations describe it as a human hunt,
[00:22:47] violating all rights and guarantees.
[00:22:50] Junior recorded the highest number of deportation
[00:22:53] orders since official records exist, in a new
[00:22:57] tightening of the immigration policy promoted by President
[00:23:01] Donald Trump, according to data published by the
[00:23:04] Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse of Syracuse
[00:23:08] University, known as TRAC, for its acronym in English,
[00:23:11] immigration judges issued almost
[00:23:14] 79,000 deportation orders in
[00:23:17] June, an increase of more than 20,000
[00:23:21] cases compared to the previous month and the highest
[00:23:24] level since the database began in
[00:23:26] 1998.
[00:23:29] The increase, they state, coincides with the White
[00:23:32] House's strategy to accelerate immigrant
[00:23:36] expulsions. President Trump has set the goal of reaching
[00:23:39] 1 million deportations a
[00:23:43] of the upcoming elections, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement,
[00:23:47] ICE, has intensified arrests throughout
[00:23:50] the country with an average of 1400
[00:23:53] per day.
[00:24:02] The United Nations Children's Fund for Children,
[00:24:05] UNICEF, reported this Thursday
[00:24:08] that in 300 days of a supposed
[00:24:11] ceasefire of the US peace plan for
[00:24:14] Gaza, 300 daughters, 300 children, I
[00:24:17] meant, have been killed. The Executive
[00:24:20] Director of UNICEF, Edward Vederberg,
[00:24:24] assured that President Trump's ceasefire leaves an
[00:24:27] average of one child killed every day and
[00:24:30] he describes it as a failure. There is a cessation
[00:24:33] of hostilities on paper, but in reality Israel continues to
[00:24:37] bomb the Palestinian enclave. As if the error
[00:24:40] were not enough, the organization assures that this
[00:24:43] is only the tip of the iceberg, because girls and
[00:24:46] children in Gaza, if they survive the bombings,
[00:24:50] must face acute malnutrition, diseases,
[00:24:53] lack of drinking water and collapsed sanitation
[00:24:57] systems. For its part, the UN
[00:25:00] Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs confirms that since
[00:25:04] October 10, 1209 people
[00:25:07] have been killed and another 3,943
[00:25:10] have been injured, in addition
[00:25:12] to the attacks by the genocidal occupier that have
[00:25:16] damaged critical infrastructure, including
[00:25:22] the World Health
[00:25:23] Organization.
[00:25:30] This Thursday, the President of Iran Masud Pesesquian commemorated
[00:25:34] the 2 years of his government with a strong message and
[00:25:37] affirmed that the resilience and determination of the people have
[00:25:41] frustrated the enemy's plans. The president has
[00:25:44] denounced external pressures, sanctions and
[00:25:47] military attacks and reaffirmed that his country
[00:25:50] will never give in, he stressed that the main
[00:25:54] objective of foreign pressures was to generate social divisions
[00:25:58] and weaken them as a nation, he maintained that it
[00:26:01] takes more than planes and bombings to achieve
[00:26:04] a victory against their determination, by reiterating
[00:26:08] the call for unity, he acknowledged that his administration
[00:26:11] faces economic pressures, energy
[00:26:14] shortages, a severe drought, the tightening of
[00:26:17] sanctions and a 12-day war. Despite this, the country
[00:26:21] remains standing and assures that it owes it to the
[00:26:24] cooperation between institutions
[00:26:26] and popular support.
[00:26:34] This Wednesday, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported on
[00:26:38] a new attack against two cargo ships in the
[00:26:41] Black Sea, the ships were transporting material
[00:26:45] destined for Ukrainian forces. The event occurred
[00:26:48] Wednesday in waters near the city of Odessa and
[00:26:51] was executed using attack drones against
[00:26:55] the ships. Moscow indicated that these operations seek to
[00:26:59] affect military supply routes to Ukraine
[00:27:02] amid the ongoing conflict between both
[00:27:05] countries. This new episode occurs amid an escalation of
[00:27:09] military actions by both sides with mutual accusations
[00:27:12] about attacks on strategic targets
[00:27:16] and damage to
[00:27:17] infrastructure.
[00:27:28] the United Nations Organization, Antonio Guterres, commemorated
[00:27:32] the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima with an
[00:27:36] urgent call to strengthen nuclear disarmament,
[00:27:39] diplomacy, and international
[00:27:42] cooperation. Without making direct reference to the United States,
[00:27:46] responsible for the nuclear attack against Hiroshima in
[00:27:49] 1945, Guterres paid tribute to the
[00:27:52] victims and to the Hibakusha,
[00:27:56] the survivors of the atomic bomb. In this regard,
[00:27:59] he warned about the growing risk posed by geopolitical
[00:28:02] issues, the modernization of nuclear arsenals, and
[00:28:06] the increase in military
[00:28:09] urged nuclear powers to regain trust, promote
[00:28:12] dialogue, and redouble efforts to move towards
[00:28:16] a world free of nuclear weapons in order to prevent
[00:28:19] humanity from facing a tragedy of that
[00:28:23] magnitude again.
