[00:00:00] From Monday to Friday, only on Telesur.
[00:00:52] Telesur, I am Aron Romero and these are our
[00:00:55] headlines.
[00:00:58] We begin in Venezuela, the government has delivered
[00:01:02] 212 homes, all this to families affected by
[00:01:06] the seismic
[00:01:07] doublet.
[00:01:12] In our analysis segment, we talk about artificial intelligence
[00:01:16] that is at the
[00:01:17] forefront.
[00:01:25] And in our digital tour, of course, we have
[00:01:28] information from the democratic Republic of Congo that prohibits the
[00:01:31] export of copper and cobalt.
[00:01:39] with export growth rates
[00:01:51] cases. We begin, the Venezuelan government delivered 212 rehabilitated homes in the Santa Rosalía parish
[00:01:55] in Caracas for the benefit of more than 980
[00:01:59] people affected by the seismic doublet of June 24.
[00:02:02] The delivery of rehabilitated properties is part of the
[00:02:06] agenda in the Venezuela Reborn Plan promoted by the acting president of the
[00:02:10] country, Delcy Rodríguez, to guarantee the right to housing. In Laguaira
[00:02:14] state, the region most affected after the seismic events, 60 apartments
[00:02:18] were delivered, allowing the return
[00:02:20] of 302 people to their
[00:02:23] homes. In this regard, the acting president praised the work
[00:02:27] achieved during the repair of structures. after the devastation
[00:02:30] that affected Venezuelan homes,
[00:02:46] well we are here in Santa Rosalía, the Santa Rosalía
[00:02:50] parish in the giant urban development
[00:02:54] of Latin America, with the presidential commission for housing
[00:03:02] presidential commission for housing rehabilitation,
[00:03:05] against Cuba, the revolutionary government of the island prioritizes the
[00:03:09] well-being of the people, in this sense, new norms have been published by the
[00:03:13] Ministry of Internal Trade to reorder wholesale
[00:03:16] trade, create neighborhood markets and strengthen the family
[00:03:19] care system. In fact, the brutality of the blockade has
[00:03:23] hit internal new contributions to
[00:03:26] limitations, the ministry has launched the project. Neighborhood
[00:03:30] Market, an initiative that seeks to guarantee access to basic
[00:03:33] necessities for the most vulnerable population.
[00:03:37] These new provisions also include tax incentives to
[00:03:41] lower prices with bonuses of up to
[00:03:43] 10% on wholesale sales tax. The new regulations
[00:03:46] will also regulate supply
[00:03:50] markets to allow direct access to natural and legal
[00:03:53] persons. Likewise, the regulations of the family care system
[00:03:57] that serves the most vulnerable and, exceptionally,
[00:04:01] pregnant women who require food reinforcement
[00:04:06] of customs, what are updated.
[00:04:13] Likewise, the tariff policy promoted by the administration of
[00:04:17] President Donald Trump faces a new legal challenge in the United States,
[00:04:21] after a coalition of attorneys general from 25
[00:04:24] states filed a lawsuit before the International Trade Court,
[00:04:28] questioning the use of
[00:04:30] Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act
[00:04:33] to impose tariffs on dozens of economies,
[00:04:37] representing 15% including Chile. The action
[00:04:40] argues that the argument related to forced labor was
[00:04:44] improperly applied to justify broad
[00:04:47] trade measures. The appeal requests to suspend tariffs
[00:04:51] while the process advances and argues that the executive exceeded the
[00:04:55] powers granted by Congress in terms of trade
[00:04:58] policy. In the case of Chile, the 12.5%
[00:05:02] tariff affects a significant portion of its
[00:05:05] exports to the US market, despite the
[00:05:09] existence of the free trade agreement between Chile and the United
[00:05:12] States. If this lawsuit prospers, the ruling could
[00:05:15] redefine the limits of presidential power in the
[00:05:19] imposition of trade sanctions and generate repercussions for
[00:05:23] economic relations between Washington and multiple international partners.
[00:05:41] We now have information from Argentina. President Javier Milei's government
[00:05:45] withdrew the bill on the inviolability of private
[00:05:48] property, the chapter that proposed modifying the rural land
[00:05:51] regime and raising the limit for foreign
[00:05:55] ownership to 25%. The decision came after allied
[00:05:59] governors and legislative blocs anticipated their
[00:06:02] rejection, leaving the ruling party without the necessary
[00:06:05] votes to approve the initiative in the Senate. The reversal
[00:06:09] represents a political setback for the executive, which will now seek
[00:06:13] to advance only with the reforms related to expropriations,
[00:06:15] evictions, fire management and modernizations.
[00:06:19] Social movements and leaders called for mobilizations under the slogan:
[00:06:23] the homeland is not for sale, all this to express their
[00:06:26] rejection of this project. The episode
[00:06:30] also highlights the difficulties of the government.
[00:06:33] On the other hand, in the province of Raqqa in Syria, the population
[00:06:37] has shown its discontent after trade was affected
[00:06:40] by a shortage of foreign currency. Here are the
[00:06:44] details:
[00:06:46] The replacement of the old notary in Syria has generated difficulties for
[00:06:50] economic activity in the province of Raqqa, where numerous
[00:06:54] citizens went to post offices and authorized
[00:06:57] centers to exchange their banknotes due to the refusal of businesses
[00:07:01] and institutions to accept the old currency.
[00:07:04] The limited availability of exchange points caused long lines and
[00:07:08] delays that affected daily transactions. Residents
[00:07:12] of the city expressed their discontent with the complications in accessing the new
[00:07:16] currency, noting that the situation has paralyzed part of local
[00:07:19] trade, including food markets and public services
[00:07:23] that demanded more counters to speed up the exchange
[00:07:26] process. Regarding the new currency and the pro
[00:07:30] 71, when we go to exchange offices, the dollar is
[00:07:33] exchanged at 13 Syrian pounds for the new
[00:07:36] currency, but they charge 20,000 Syrian pounds for
[00:07:39] exchanging the old currency, which we are supposed to be.
[00:07:43] Governor of the Central Bank of Syria. If you don't understand these
[00:07:46] matters then step aside. Previously, the 500-pound
[00:07:50] banknote was withdrawn and people hardly noticed,
[00:07:53] then the 100-pound banknote was withdrawn in the same
[00:07:57] way. This is how a currency should be gradually withdrawn.
[00:08:01] We go to the electricity department and for the last month they have only
[00:08:04] accepted the new currency. How are we supposed to
[00:08:08] get it? We go to the city council and they demand
[00:08:12] it. We go to the court and they demand it. So how are we going to get
[00:08:15] it if not through government institutions? The
[00:08:19] Central Bank of Syria reported that the massive exchange will
[00:08:22] initially extend until early August and reorganize the
[00:08:25] country's monetary system.
[00:08:28] And China is at the world forefront of artificial
[00:08:31] intelligence, that will be our topic. When we
[00:08:35] return.
[00:09:42] to the peoples of America, the Indians, the blacks and the
[00:09:46] exploited, whether white, whether Indian,
[00:09:49] whether black. Fidel Castro. August
[00:09:53] 6, 1960,
[00:09:55] speech delivered at the first Latin American Youth Congress,
[00:09:58] held at the Cerro Stadium, Havana, Cuba.
[00:10:02] In the face of adversity,
[00:10:12] the will of the people will never be broken.
[00:10:15] Firm steps, with real
[00:10:21] actions, we rebuild every hour. We remain united
[00:10:26] in a single plan, with the invincible
[00:10:29] force that defines us, because Venezuela is reborn.
[00:11:05] The broad masses of scientific and technological workers are an important
[00:11:09] force in building a great modern socialist country. I hope that
[00:11:13] all of you will continue the excellent tradition of serving the nation and
[00:11:16] benefiting the people, making
[00:11:20] make China a strong country in science and
[00:11:23] technology.
[00:11:55] Among the countries that are at the forefront in this field of computing is
[00:11:58] China, which uses it for different areas,
[00:12:02] so the modernization of this country. Let's go with the next
[00:12:06] material.
[00:12:09] Artificial intelligence ceased to be
[00:12:13] a technological promise to become the main
[00:12:16] axis of transformation in the 21st
[00:12:19] century, just like ancient inventions, today
[00:12:23] artificial intelligence is beginning to redefine
[00:12:26] economy, politics, science
[00:12:29] and culture. In this context, China is
[00:12:33] at the forefront of the technological era and competes
[00:12:36] with the United States for global leadership in artificial intelligence.
[00:12:40] Under this scenario, China's
[00:12:44] President Shijin Ping has urged
[00:12:47] accelerating efforts to achieve high
[00:12:50] self-sufficiency and strength in science and
[00:12:53] technology and... scientific and technological
[00:12:56] innovation to support and
[00:12:59] boost China's
[00:13:01] modernization.
[00:13:04] In recent years, China has embraced AI with open
[00:13:07] arms. We have promoted interaction between an efficient
[00:13:10] market and a well-functioning government. Strengthened AI
[00:13:14] innovation, actively promoted the AI Plus initiative
[00:13:18] and built a healthy ecosystem for all entities
[00:13:21] to prosper together. The core industries of the
[00:13:25] intelligent economy are worth at least one trillion yuan. Intelligent
[00:13:28] manufacturing in China has become another shining hallmark
[00:13:32] of Chinese modernization. According to
[00:13:35] data from the World Intellectual Property
[00:13:39] Organization, between 2024 and 2025, China
[00:13:43] has concentrated nearly 60% of generative
[00:13:46] artificial intelligence patent families,
[00:13:49] consolidating itself as the main pole of technological
[00:13:53] development on the planet.
[00:13:55] This leadership not only reflects a sustained
[00:13:59] investment strategy in research,
[00:14:02] infrastructure and training, but also the
[00:14:05] decision to integrate AI as a state
[00:14:08] policy with a planned economy linked to productive
[00:14:12] development, industry and national modernization.
[00:14:16] A very planned economy
[00:14:22] that made China transform from a purely
[00:14:25] rural country, in just 80 years, into the second
[00:14:29] largest economic power in the world. Well, given the growth
[00:14:33] of the Chinese AI industry, it is expected that it will exceed
[00:14:37] 1.2 trillion yuan in 2025, about
[00:14:40] 176.7 billion US dollars, which
[00:14:44] represents an annual increase of
[00:14:46] 40%. The China Academy of Information
[00:14:50] and Communications Technology recently stated that
[00:14:53] as of June this year, China was home to more
[00:14:57] than 6,600 artificial intelligence companies,
[00:15:02] of the world's total. The country has
[00:15:06] developed a complex industrial system that covers
[00:15:09] fundamental infrastructures, models and frameworks,
[00:15:12] sector-specific applications.
[00:15:15] This was indicated by the entity. The application
[00:15:18] segment represented 55% of the entire
[00:15:21] artificial intelligence industry chain in 2025,
[00:15:25] with an increase of
[00:15:27] 22% year-on-year.
[00:15:34] First, the foundation of computing power has been consolidated. The first
[00:15:37] 100,000-card artificial intelligence cluster manufactured in China has
[00:15:41] officially been put into operation at the end of June. The scale of national intelligent
[00:15:45] computing power had reached 2.8 times that of the same
[00:15:48] period last year. Second, the capabilities of the models have taken a leap
[00:15:52] forward, local companies like Deepsick and Moonshot have successively launched
[00:15:56] several open source large models with trillions of parameters. The total global
[00:15:59] downloads of national large models have exceeded 10 billion and nationally
[00:16:03] manufactured models are adapting to national computing chips at an
[00:16:07] accelerated pace. Third, factor flows have become more active, more than
[00:16:11] 120 high-quality datasets have been created and a virtuous
[00:16:15] circle of reinforcements is being formed that maintained a growth
[00:16:18] of more than 30% in the first half of this year.
[00:16:21] In the same area, Chinese exports of artificial
[00:16:25] intelligence related products have maintained rapid growth
[00:16:28] in 2026. Currently, China's
[00:16:31] smartwatches and smart toys are sold in more
[00:16:34] than 170 countries. 193 make up the United Nations
[00:16:38] Organization and regions around the world. In the first half
[00:16:41] of this year, Chinese exports of radars, lasers,
[00:16:44] used for intelligent driving increased by
[00:16:48] 58.3%, while exports of
[00:16:51] 3D printers soared by
[00:16:54] 109.3%. Meanwhile, exports
[00:16:57] of intelligent bionic robots, based on artificial
[00:17:00] intelligence technologies, exceeded
[00:17:04] 10,000 units, and intelligent manipulation
[00:17:07] robots and welding robots continued
[00:17:11] to expand in the manufacturing market worldwide,
[00:17:16] exceeding 60% in both
[00:17:28] In the same way, artificial intelligence promotes consumer
[00:17:32] products, attracting buyers from China's
[00:17:36] largest electronic market, to visit Chian Bay in southern
[00:17:39] China allows buyers to experience firsthand
[00:17:43] cutting-edge technology, especially products such as smart
[00:17:46] glasses with real-time translation. According to official
[00:17:49] data, the area has registered an average of almost
[00:17:53] 8 foreign business visitors per day,
[00:17:57] since the beginning of this year 2026. Likewise,
[00:18:00] between January and July, sales of artificial
[00:18:04] intelligence products in this market increased by more
[00:18:07] than 55% across all categories, with a
[00:18:11] 100% increase in sales of artificial intelligence
[00:18:15] glasses and an increase of between 60 and 70%
[00:18:19] in sales of drones and
[00:18:19] robots.
[00:18:25] This is an important electronics center in the world, as you know
[00:18:29] you can find whatever you want, I bought virtual reality
[00:18:32] glasses, smart glasses, there are so many things
[00:18:35] here, it's incredible.
[00:18:37] Sales have already exceeded last year's total in just the first half
[00:18:41] of this year and foreign markets now account
[00:18:45] for around 60% of our business. Since the new
[00:18:48] policy was introduced, our European customers have been the most
[00:18:52] receptive, they have started placing more customized
[00:18:55] orders for designs with integrated batteries.
[00:18:59] With this information, we mark another break here in Economic Impact, but when
[00:19:02] we return we will be talking about the Democratic Republic of Congo. Well, the
[00:19:06] government of this African country has taken measures
[00:19:10] to protect one of its main industries, we'll be back with more.
[00:20:03] Thank you for staying with us, we share information from this digital tour.
[00:20:07] The Africa News portal headlines the following: Democratic
[00:20:11] Republic of Congo, African nation. In this country, the government
[00:20:15] has prohibited the export of copper and cobalt
[00:20:18] concentrates. A government report accessed by Reuters
[00:20:22] News Agency indicates that this is part of the country's
[00:20:26] attempt to retain a greater amount of income from its
[00:20:29] vast mineral wealth. The order also includes the introduction
[00:20:33] of new taxes for economically important mining
[00:20:36] byproducts. While the prohibition came into effect immediately,
[00:20:40] the new tax regime for byproducts has a transition
[00:20:44] period of 3 months.
[00:20:46] Now we share information
[00:20:51] from the TelesurTV.net website.
[00:20:55] Iran and Oman agree on coordinates for a maritime
[00:20:58] route in the Strait of Hormuz. The authorities of Iran
[00:21:02] and Oman have reached an agreement on the geographical
[00:21:05] coordinates of a maritime transit route through the Strait
[00:21:08] of Hormuz, as reported by the spokesman for the Iranian
[00:21:12] Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ismail Baguey. The advance seeks
[00:21:15] to establish technical and navigation guidelines in this
[00:21:19] strategic passage for global hydrocarbon trade. During
[00:21:22] his statements, Baguey detailed that the delegations of both
[00:21:26] countries comprehensively examined the technical,
[00:21:29] legal, security and environmental dimensions of this
[00:21:32] project.
[00:21:37] Next, we have the portal of the Russian media Sputning in its
[00:21:41] Spanish version: Russia reinforces its commercial presence
[00:21:45] in Brazil with a new export office. The Russian Export
[00:21:48] Center has opened a representative office in Rio
[00:21:52] de Janeiro, as reported by the entity's press service,
[00:21:56] highlighting that this step allows to expand the commercial
[00:21:59] presence of the Eurasian country in the market of the South American
[00:22:03] giant in Brazil. This new branch seeks to facilitate the entry
[00:22:06] of Russian companies into the Brazilian market, a key destination
[00:22:10] for non-commodity exports. Cooperation will
[00:22:13] be carried out in strategic areas of common interest
[00:22:16] for Russia and Brazil such as industry, construction
[00:22:20] and the agro-industrial sector. This fact represents another
[00:22:24] step in the systematic strengthening of the international network
[00:22:27] that currently covers
[00:22:28] 18 countries.
[00:22:33] And to conclude this tour, we analyze the headline
[00:22:37] offered by Europa Press, which states the following:
[00:22:40] Fuels chain their fifth rise in mid-summer
[00:22:43] and accumulate an increase of almost
[00:22:45] 20%. The price of a liter of
[00:22:48] diesel has increased this week by 4.1% compared
[00:22:52] to the previous one. For its part, the average price of a
[00:22:56] liter of gasoline this week was 1.687
[00:22:59] euros, increasing by
[00:23:03] 2.61% compared to last week.
[00:23:06] Likewise, the price of diesel, we are talking of course about
[00:23:10] a European nation, we are talking about Spain,
[00:23:13] the price of diesel has accumulated an increase of 19.2%,
[00:23:16] while that of gasoline has increased by
[00:23:20] 17.3%, placing both fuels at their maximum
[00:23:23] levels for the week of March 23 or until
[00:23:27] this day or from this day.
[00:23:40] We add oil indicators, we start with West Texas,
[00:23:44] currently at 75.97, an increase of we start with
[00:23:47] West Texas. currently at $75.97,
[00:23:50] an increase of, Telesur reports
[00:24:10] presents,
[00:24:22] On the centenary of the birth of one of the most influential men in our
[00:24:26] history, the brother president, the distinguished
[00:24:29] fighter, the guerrilla of the Sierra Maestra,
[00:24:32] the liberator of Cuba, the teacher
[00:24:36] and father of all of us, Fidel
[00:24:39] Castro,
