[00:00:00] is the Instagram with @telesurtv, our
[00:00:02] Facebook page as telesur and of course on

[00:00:09] and don't forget YouTube with
[00:00:11] @señalenvivos
[00:00:13] very well, let's say goodbye now with a video, we say goodbye with
[00:00:17] a material because from August 13th to 20th
[00:00:20] I repeat the information from August 13th
[00:00:23] to 30th, Mexico will host
[00:00:27] the twentieth, the forty-fifth international
[00:00:30] film forum in the facilities of the Cineteca
[00:00:33] Nacional in Mexico City, which is a meeting with a
[00:00:37] firm commitment to creative freedom, innovation in narrative
[00:00:41] and the rescue of film memory. On August 30th
[00:00:45] the 45th international film forum will be held in Mexico,
[00:00:48] which will present a selection of
[00:00:52] alternative international films.
[00:00:55] 14 audiovisuals will be
[00:00:58] screened at the headquarters of...
[00:01:01] where a large part of the future the Cineteca Nacional in Mexico City, all from
[00:01:03] Argentina, Bolivia, Canada,
[00:01:07] Cuba, Palestine, Iran, Portugal,
[00:01:11] among other countries that I cannot mention due to lack of
[00:01:15] time, these are
[00:01:17] GDP, the continuity of the fiction works of documentary type,
[00:01:20] as well as some hybrid films, audiovisual
[00:01:23] essays and much
[00:01:24] more.
[00:03:10] The map of global power is no longer drawn in
[00:03:13] kilometers, it is measured in nanometers. Today
[00:03:17] Taiwan is a niche superpower thanks
[00:03:20] to the multinational technology company for contract manufacturing
[00:03:24] and design of semiconductors, TSMC, which
[00:03:28] manufactures 90% of the cutting-edge chips
[00:03:31] that power artificial intelligence and military
[00:03:35] defense on the planet, a
[00:03:39] one of the biggest headaches in hyper-geographic concentration that has shaped the Pax Silicona,
[00:03:43] a geopolitical concept where the absolute dependence of the
[00:03:46] world on Taiwanese microchips
[00:03:49] acts as a deterrent handbrake
[00:03:52] that prevents an open war between
[00:03:55] superpowers, we will analyze this new global
[00:03:59] chessboard in this week's
[00:04:15] United States restricted the import of new robot
[00:04:18] vacuum cleaners, humanoids,
[00:04:20] tech, but in the physical control quadrupeds, and solar inverters, considering them an
[00:04:23] unacceptable risk to national security. The measure, pushed
[00:04:28] armed interdependence in under the Donald Trump administration, affects
[00:04:31] manufacturers like Robot Rock, Dream and iRobot. Washington
[00:04:34] asserts that these devices could collect data from analysts
[00:04:40] Chris Miller, American who warn that the decision also reinforces technological protectionism. China controls more than half of the market
[00:04:44] in new PlayStation releases, starting in January
[00:04:47] 2028, marking the end of more than three decades of an
[00:04:51] era in the video game industry. The company
[00:04:54] assures that the decision responds to the rapid migration to the digital market, where
[00:04:58] sales on the PlayStation Store already exceed 80% of the
[00:05:01] total. Titles published before that date will continue
[00:05:05] to be available in physical format. Players will stop buying a
[00:05:09] product to access a digital license subject to the
[00:05:12] platform's conditions, the availability of its servers
[00:05:16] and its pricing policy. The measure also impacts the second-hand
[00:05:19] market, the exchange and lending of games, in addition to
[00:05:23] posing new challenges for the preservation of digital heritage,
[00:05:27] consolidating a model where access to the catalog depends on avoiding
[00:05:30] errors, biases and harm to patients. The call was
[00:05:34] launched at the close of the international summit, to avoid errors, biases and
[00:05:38] harm to patients. The call was launched at the close of the
[00:05:41] international summit on artificial intelligence in health,
[00:05:45] held in Lisbon, during the meeting that brought together governments, medical
[00:05:48] personnel, regulators and industry. The WHO
[00:05:52] urged translating political commitments into clear norms for
[00:05:55] the use of this technology. The alert is based on its most recent
[00:05:59] evaluation of the 53 countries in the European region, although
[00:06:02] 98% recognize the potential of artificial intelligence to
[00:06:06] improve medical care and two out of three already use it in
[00:06:09] diagnoses. Only 8% have
[00:06:13] a national strategy to regulate it. The WHO also warned
[00:06:16] that almost 40% of countries lack ethical guidelines and that
[00:06:20] the lack of preparation of health personnel could favor
[00:06:23] erroneous diagnoses and weaken trust in health
[00:06:26] systems.
[00:09:13] This is Atomun and if the peace of the world depended on
[00:09:17] a piece smaller than a grain of
[00:09:19] sand, currently Taiwan, a small
[00:09:23] island in the Pacific, has become an
[00:09:27] irreplaceable niche superpower,
[00:09:30] companies like Taiwan Semiconductor
[00:09:33] Manufacturing Company (TSMC)
[00:09:37] control more than 90% of the
[00:09:40] production of cutting-edge microchips,
[00:09:43] the physical and invisible engine behind
[00:09:46] artificial intelligence, supercomputing and autonomous
[00:09:49] defense systems of tomorrow, consequently,
[00:09:53] the map of power is no longer drawn
[00:09:56] only in land borders, but in integrated
[00:10:00] circuits, China, the United States and the
[00:10:03] European Union are playing for the destiny of the 21st
[00:10:06] century, in this silent chessboard that places strategic
[00:10:10] focus on Taiwan, let's start the engines
[00:10:14] of knowledge, ready to
[00:10:17] deploy this week's cognitive log,
[00:10:20] here's the material, travelers of
[00:10:23] knowledge.
[00:10:32] The international order of the 21st century no longer revolves only around
[00:10:36] oil or the dollar, today power is measured in nanometers and computing
[00:10:40] capacity. At the center of this new architecture is
[00:10:43] Taiwan, the most critical node in the global
[00:10:46] technological network. The island concentrates the manufacturing of the
[00:10:49] most advanced semiconductors on the planet. Essential for artificial
[00:10:53] intelligence, data centers, autonomous
[00:10:56] vehicles and military industry, its dominance in high-end
[00:11:00] chips has turned the Chinese island into a key point
[00:11:04] for global security, because technological sovereignty is no longer
[00:11:07] defined only by borders, but by who controls the infrastructure
[00:11:11] of knowledge and connectivity. In this scenario,
[00:11:14] China and the United States are fighting a strategic battle for technological
[00:11:18] hegemony. And at the center of that dispute, Taiwan
[00:11:22] consolidates itself as the epicenter,
[00:11:26] of artificial intelligence and global geopolitical balance
[00:11:29] is at stake. Beijing's decision to strengthen its local technology is not an
[00:11:33] isolated move, it is part of a strategy to protect its
[00:11:36] industry and the true core of global technological
[00:11:39] power, which is Taiwan today. Silicon has
[00:11:43] replaced oil as the axis of the new world order and
[00:11:46] Taiwan is its epicenter. Only one company, Taiwan
[00:11:50] Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) produces
[00:11:52] more than 90% of the
[00:11:56] most advanced microchips on the planet, essential for artificial
[00:11:59] intelligence, supercomputing and autonomous military
[00:12:03] systems, this dependence has created what is known
[00:12:06] as the silicon shield, the security of Taiwan no longer depends only
[00:12:10] on its defense, but on the world, especially the United
[00:12:14] States, needing its factories to continue operating to prevent a
[00:12:17] global fracture in the digital network, but how strong is
[00:12:21] China in the world compared to the self-proclaimed first economy in the world,
[00:12:25] like the United States. Let's review the following
[00:12:28] data.
[00:12:34] Historic shift in global trade.
[00:12:38] 70% of global economies are already playing on China's
[00:12:42] team. 25 years ago, China
[00:12:45] traded with barely 15% of global trade, 30
[00:12:49] economies. In 2025,
[00:12:52] 145 countries.
[00:13:13] In 2024, the United States bought 453
[00:13:16] billion
[00:13:18] from China. Digital
[00:13:21] power.
[00:13:25] Chips and smartphones used by the United States, while
[00:13:28] the United States only sold 145
[00:13:31] to China.
[00:13:34] What does the United States sell to China? Oil,
[00:13:37] gas, soybeans and aerospace
[00:13:39] technology.
[00:13:42] Debt duel. The US debt exceeds its gross
[00:13:46] domestic product, 115%,
[00:13:49] compared to 94% in China. Record
[00:13:53] military budget. 954 billion
[00:13:57] dollars make the United States the most expensive
[00:14:00] force in the world. The United States triples China's
[00:14:04] spending, which curbs at 336
[00:14:07] million.
[00:14:10] Electric market. China surpasses the United States by
[00:14:13] five to one in local sales. China controls
[00:14:17] 50% of global rare earth
[00:14:20] reserves. China, 44 million
[00:14:23] tons, United States. 2 million
[00:14:25] tons. Artificial intelligence is no longer
[00:14:29] just software, it is, above all, a hardware
[00:14:32] challenge. Large language models and autonomous systems
[00:14:36] require chips with a transistor density that
[00:14:39] borders on the limits of physics. Only
[00:14:42] Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company today has the industrial
[00:14:46] capacity to mass produce 3-nanometer chips, the
[00:14:49] basis of the current artificial intelligence boom. This makes
[00:14:52] artificial intelligence the new engine
[00:14:56] of productivity and a key piece for the defense of the
[00:15:00] future, therefore, the pulse over Taiwan is no longer
[00:15:03] just geographical, it is the control of the pace of technological
[00:15:07] evolution on the planet, the West promotes a technological
[00:15:10] balkanization under the known dogma of reshoring or
[00:15:14] Taiwan +1, a strategy to diversify semiconductor
[00:15:18] production, the United States and the European Union
[00:15:21] allocate multi-million dollar subsidies to replicate part of the capacity.
[00:15:30] in regions like Arizona and various European hubs, but this
[00:15:32] strategy starts from a questionable premise that chip production
[00:15:36] can be transferred as if it were just a set of
[00:15:39] factories, in reality it depends on a much more complex network of
[00:15:42] critical and sensitive materials, in this
[00:15:45] scenario, the Pax Silicona becomes
[00:15:48] fragile, global stability depends as much on technology
[00:15:52] as on the network that sustains it, the global concentration of these
[00:15:55] semiconductors could alter their production with immediate and
[00:15:58] profound impacts on the economy and international security,
[00:16:02] especially between the United States and China. In this context, the
[00:16:06] technological dispute is not limited to markets.
[00:16:09] In diplomatic meetings between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump in May 2026,
[00:16:13] recent ones, among the main powers, artificial intelligence
[00:16:16] and semiconductors have come to occupy the real center of
[00:16:20] negotiations, even above traditional trade, in a
[00:16:24] scenario marked by energy tensions and new global
[00:16:28] dependency chains, in an analogous way to the logic of
[00:16:31] mutually assured destruction of the Cold War. The global dependence on the
[00:16:35] semiconductor industry in Taiwan
[00:16:37] acts today as a systemic brake on conflict. The current tension in
[00:16:41] the Taiwan Strait could paralyze part of the global
[00:16:45] digital infrastructure and generate an economic impact estimated at more
[00:16:49] than 10 trillion dollars. Nearly 10% of global
[00:16:55] technological economy largely depends on the manufacturing plants
[00:16:58] in Taipei operating without interruptions. In this
[00:17:02] context, global power is no longer defined only by borders,
[00:17:05] but by the control of chip supply chains, where
[00:17:09] Taiwan plays a central role in production that sustains everything
[00:17:13] from artificial intelligence to global financial systems,
[00:17:16] facing this concentration, China, the United States
[00:17:19] and the European Union deploy different strategies to ensure their
[00:17:23] access and reduce their dependence on the silicon
[00:17:25] ecosystem.
[00:17:33] China, absorption and immunization.
[00:17:37] Shielding, one China and artificial
[00:17:41] intelligence control, rear
[00:17:44] shielding, mandatory
[00:17:47] 50% national machinery,
[00:17:50] shielding, mature
[00:17:54] chips immune to
[00:17:55] sanctions.
[00:17:58] United States, reshoring and mistrust.
[00:18:02] Priority, advanced chips for military
[00:18:06] economic survival. Moving factories,
[00:18:09] subsidies to bring TSMC to the United
[00:18:12] States, Risk, dismantling
[00:18:15] of Taipei's silicon shield. Double
[00:18:18] challenge, military security or technological
[00:18:21] control.
[00:18:25] European Union. Autonomy and
[00:18:27] resilience. Zero blockages in the automotive
[00:18:31] sector. Chip Law. Funding TSMC
[00:18:34] plants in Germany.
[00:18:38] Local supply, industrial chips
[00:18:41] secured, shielding: elevating the
[00:18:44] supply chain to state security.
[00:18:47] Blockade: stopping the shipment of silicon to
[00:18:50] Beijing. In this scenario, the dispute over artificial
[00:18:53] intelligence is often described as a software
[00:18:57] and algorithm race in Silicon Valley, Europe or
[00:19:00] China, but this narrative omits a key point, all this digital
[00:19:04] competition depends on a highly concentrated physical base in
[00:19:07] chip manufacturing, artificial intelligence has returned the
[00:19:11] global economy to a material reality, the advantage is
[00:19:14] not only in who develops better algorithms, but in
[00:19:18] who controls or replicates the most complex and sensitive supply
[00:19:22] chain of the current
[00:19:23] technological system.
[00:19:29] The true battle front of artificial intelligence is not
[00:19:32] in code, but in silicon, given that
[00:19:36] AI is already the core of global logic, the domain of the
[00:19:39] microchip is today the control of the
[00:19:42] future,
[00:19:47] Pax Silica is the geopolitical order of the 21st
[00:19:50] century where global stability and technological
[00:19:53] supremacy are not decided in the software of big
[00:19:58] of advanced semiconductor foundries in Taiwan, this
[00:20:02] concept defines an era of
[00:20:05] which international power does not reside in traditional
[00:20:08] treaties, but in the ability to secure or restrict
[00:20:12] latest generation silicon, a delicate material
[00:20:15] balance where sovereignty over frontier hardware
[00:20:19] is the definitive filter that dictates the pace of artificial
[00:20:22] intelligence evolution, therefore geopolitical power
[00:20:25] is no longer measured in nuclear warheads or in the elegance
[00:20:29] of an algorithm, but in the physical sovereignty over
[00:20:32] silicon. The new global diplomacy is material, it reduces
[00:20:35] the absolute capacity to secure.
[00:20:56] The South American giant is in constant
[00:20:59] evolution. Join Beto Almeida and his
[00:21:02] guests. In Latitud Brasil, a
[00:21:06] conversation where the most important aspects of
[00:21:09] daily Brazilian events are discussed, in the political,
[00:21:13] social,
[00:21:15] economic and cultural landscape.

[00:21:27] time.
[00:21:33] Spaces where the context behind each
[00:21:35] headline is revealed.
[00:21:43] Digital connection. Morning economic impact. Open
[00:21:47] agenda. Report 360
[00:21:51] morning, global connection, the
[00:21:54] map, topics of the day,
[00:21:57] Report 360 stellar, economic impact
[00:22:00] stellar, central edition,
[00:22:04] the world from the south, I'll tell you,
[00:22:07] we take you beyond the news, we take you to the events that set the
[00:22:11] trend, because Telesur always gives
[00:22:14] more.
[00:22:56] Crossing the frontier of the known is not enough,
[00:22:59] now we infiltrate the very fabric of the
[00:23:02] cosmos, from the sufficient,
[00:23:05] now we infiltrate the very fabric of the
[00:23:08] cosmos, from the. During its ascent up Mount
[00:23:12] Sharp, the vehicle captured a 360-degree
[00:23:15] panoramic view that revealed this geometric pattern
[00:23:18] formed by cells between 4 and 8 cm. Far
[00:23:22] from being a visual curiosity, these structures
[00:23:25] function as an authentic geological archive, preserving the
[00:23:29] traces of climatic changes in early Mars. If the analyses
[00:23:33] confirm that these polygons formed during cycles of
[00:23:36] extreme desiccation. Scientists will be one step closer
[00:23:39] to reconstructing how Mars went from being a wet world to an
[00:23:43] icy
[00:23:43] desert.
[00:23:48] If you thought that artificial intelligence was only used
[00:23:52] to make viral images or solve last-minute tasks,
[00:23:56] this could change everything. Imagine a world where ships,
[00:23:59] planes and trucks no longer depend on oil,
[00:24:03] but on hydrogen, and computer science could
[00:24:06] lower its production, bringing us closer to a
[00:24:09] future where carbon dioxide is only part of the
[00:24:13] past, although it may be hard to believe, from
[00:24:16] silicon we will move to hydrogen.
[00:24:25] A team of researchers has solved
[00:24:29] green hydrogen production, the rapid degradation of its
[00:24:32] components. By using vanadium, they managed to stabilize
[00:24:36] ruthenium in extremely acidic environments, surpassing
[00:24:40] 3 hours of continuous use in resistance tests without any
[00:24:44] deterioration. The most valuable aspect of the research
[00:24:47] is its methodology. Instead of spending years testing materials in the
[00:24:50] laboratory through trial and error, scientists combined
[00:24:54] data mining and computer modeling to predict the
[00:24:58] success of the experiment. This new approach will accelerate the
[00:25:01] design of critical hardware in the short term in strategic
[00:25:05] sectors such as high-energy density batteries, efficient
[00:25:09] carbon dioxide capture and synthesis of alternative
[00:25:13] fuels.
[00:25:18] The new global geopolitical technological order will be marked
[00:25:21] by the following premise: whoever controls Taiwan
[00:25:25] will dominate the pace of the 21st century. In this regard,
[00:25:30] historian and author of the work, The Chip War: The Fight
[00:25:33] for the World's Most Critical Technology, points out that
[00:25:37] almost all data processing in the world depends on an
[00:25:40] extraordinarily interconnected network, but at its
[00:25:42] center there is a strategic bottleneck, no
[00:25:46] region in the world produces more cutting-edge
[00:25:50] chips than Taiwan, if access to the island were
[00:25:54] compromised, the global economic paralysis would
[00:25:57] far exceed the impact of the Great
[00:26:00] Depression, and with this reflection,
[00:27:13] Hello, good afternoon, welcome to a new round of Telesur News, we
[00:27:17] greet you with the sign language interpretation of Elvis Torres
[00:27:21] and I am Evelyn Guarenas, narrating the news,
[00:27:24] we start right away with our
[00:27:26] headlines.
[00:27:41] Delegations from more than 25 countries debate in the fourth continental
[00:27:44] assembly of Alba Movements, the crisis of Capitalism
[00:27:48] to the Monroe Doctrine and the advance of fascism in the region.
