[00:00:02] multiplatform, destroyed
[00:00:04] only on Telesur. Every August 6th, the signing
[00:00:08] of Bolivia's Declaration of Independence is commemorated, a historical
[00:00:12] event triggered by the persistent struggle of the Gran
[00:00:15] Colombia army, which guaranteed that the provinces of Charcas,
[00:00:19] Cochabamba, La Paz, Potosí, and Santa Cruz
[00:00:22] could unite and self-govern.
[00:00:25] The Great Marshal of Ayacucho, Antonio José de Sucre,
[00:00:29] led that revolutionary and independence movement in
[00:00:32] Alto Perú and broke the chains of the Spanish yoke by founding
[00:00:36] a state called the Republic of Bolívar, in homage to
[00:00:39] Liberator Simón Bolívar. Today, Bolivia
[00:00:42] is known as a plurinational state and commemorates the
[00:00:46] path to democracy, reaffirming its commitment to freedom, justice,
[00:00:49] and the defense of its national

[00:03:48] Hiroshima, Japan, causing massive
[00:03:51] destruction and the death of thousands. This event not only
[00:03:54] accelerated the Japanese surrender, but also marked the
[00:03:57] beginning of the nuclear age, forever transforming
[00:04:00] the course of world

[00:04:28] Because Telesur always
[00:04:34] square because the federal gives more. Good evening, welcome to
[00:05:00] a new broadcast of Edición Central, who will accompany us this
[00:05:03] evening, Luis Francisco Blandón and Andrea Romero. It's a pleasure, Andrea, to greet
[00:05:07] you and all the audience, thank you for following us on our multimedia. Immediately our
[00:05:11] headlines, we begin.
[00:05:14] With tear gas and water
[00:05:17] tanks, police forces in Argentina repressed
[00:05:20] protesters who were rejecting the inviolability of private
[00:05:23] property law in front of the Congress.
[00:05:27] Delegations from more than 25
[00:05:33] countries participate in the fourth Continental
[00:05:37] Assembly of Alba Movements to address the capital
[00:05:40] crisis and the advance of fascism in the
[00:05:44] region.
[00:05:45] The Attorney General's Office of Mexico
[00:05:51] arrested the former governor of Guerrero Ángel Heladio
[00:05:54] Aguirre Rivero for being allegedly responsible for concealing
[00:05:58] evidence in the disappearance of the 43 students
[00:06:02] from Ayotzinapa.
[00:06:04] In the media context,
[00:06:11] we will also talk about Mexico. The new state
[00:06:15] of New Mexico filed a lawsuit against the United States Department of
[00:06:21] improperly concealing key files related
[00:06:24] to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring.
[00:06:28] Details shortly, of course, we will be seeing headlines
[00:06:31] about this
[00:06:32] topic.
[00:06:40] Also, sports information, and for that, we are joined by our colleague Luis
[00:06:44] Fernando Villasmil. Welcome, thank
[00:06:47] you, good evening, greetings Luis, and well, in our sports segment, we will have that the action
[00:06:51] of the medal ceremony in different disciplines of the Central American
[00:06:54] and Caribbean Games 2026 continues,
[00:06:57] a little while until this Central American
[00:07:00] sporting event concludes, but this and much more
[00:07:04] later. And in our cultural
[00:07:07] space, later we will tell you that specialists and
[00:07:11] international journalists met to learn about the
[00:07:14] legacy of the Hong Shang culture, which reveals
[00:07:20] Chinese civilization after thousands of years of
[00:07:23] history. We will review the details later.
[00:07:46] Also, the news update at this hour with our correspondents.
[00:07:50] We start with Hernan Tovar from Bogotá, Colombia. Hernan, nice to greet you,
[00:07:54] go ahead.
[00:08:00] Andrea, Luis, viewers, greetings to you. In Colombia,
[00:08:04] a few hours before the new president
[00:08:07] takes office, there are warnings from human
[00:08:10] rights organizations regarding violations and
[00:08:13] limitations precisely in that
[00:08:16] area by the new government. A few
[00:08:19] hours ago, the Ombudsman's Office sent a letter to
[00:08:23] the person who will be the new first president of Colombians.
[00:08:26] More information in minutes.
[00:08:29] Thank you, Hernan. In Ecuador, the interprovincial and
[00:08:32] intraprovincial bus fare increased by up to 25%.
[00:08:35] Our colleague Elena Rodríguez has more information.
[00:08:39] Go ahead, Elena.
[00:08:43] Hello, what a pleasure. That's right, the fare increase rekindles social tension
[00:08:47] in Ecuador. Ten months after eliminating the diesel
[00:08:51] subsidy and promising that fares would not increase, the
[00:08:54] Novoa government passed the bill to users. While families
[00:08:58] cut back on their trips because incomes are not enough, indigenous
[00:09:01] and peasant organizations are analyzing new
[00:09:05] actions. We will tell you details later.
[00:09:08] Thank you, we will be with you later from Quito, Ecuador, our
[00:09:12] colleague Elena Rodríguez. We are going to
[00:09:15] start our central edition talking about Argentina. A day
[00:09:19] of peaceful mobilization ends, marked by the
[00:09:23] repression of police forces. Let's go immediately with our
[00:09:26] colleague Ayernesi, she shares the
[00:09:29] details.
[00:09:31] Good evening, thank you very much for the contact. Well, the mobilization
[00:09:36] inviolability of private property law
[00:09:39] ended with repression, that is, the protesters
[00:09:43] left the Congress
[00:09:46] forces began to repress them with tear gas,
[00:09:50] rubber bullets, and water cannons. Thus, the government
[00:09:53] achieved its goal, which was to disperse these people who,
[00:09:56] once the large trade union organizations and political
[00:10:00] organizations had withdrawn, when only groups that perhaps do
[00:10:04] not have much experience were left, many people were self-convened,
[00:10:08] the security forces were ordered to begin
[00:10:11] repressing. That's how they managed to clear the Congress
[00:10:15] square over the course of about an hour, an hour and a
[00:10:18] half, and then many people decided to
[00:10:21] mobilize towards Plaza de Mayo, which in a
[00:10:25] few minutes was fenced off. The police who had
[00:10:29] been in Congress also began to disperse these
[00:10:33] people with tear gas. This is how they managed
[00:10:36] to dismantle this popular demonstration against a law that, for
[00:10:40] example, allows lands that are currently
[00:10:44] protected by the fire management and land use law to fall
[00:10:47] into the hands of real estate speculation, also productive,
[00:10:51] ranching, or agricultural if approved, which is what the
[00:10:55] Senate is debating. It also removes the power
[00:10:58] of the national state to make
[00:11:01] expropriations that are beneficial for the common good, as
[00:11:05] was the case with IPF at the time. Another
[00:11:08] aspect that particularly affects the classes most suffering from the
[00:11:12] economic crisis is related to express evictions, where the
[00:11:15] judiciary defends property owners
[00:11:19] so they can evict people who have not been
[00:11:22] more than 10 days late in paying
[00:11:25] their monthly rent. This affects almost
[00:11:29] 10 million Argentinians, so, well, it's a very complex
[00:11:33] law, and since the government doesn't have the votes secured,
[00:11:36] in fact, it had to drop the repeal of the land
[00:11:39] law that would allow the foreignization of national
[00:11:43] territory, it responds in this way to a march that was peaceful.
[00:11:47] Ayernesi reported from Telesur Argentina. Thanks to our colleague
[00:11:51] Ayernesi from Argentina, now we go to Venezuela where the
[00:11:55] national dialogue between the government and opposition
[00:11:58] former deputies of the 2015 National Assembly was installed
[00:12:02] in the capital Caracas with the objective of moving towards a scenario
[00:12:05] of understanding and mutual respect that guarantees political,
[00:12:09] social, and economic stability in the country. This first meeting,
[00:12:12] led by the coordinator of the dialogue and president of the
[00:12:16] Venezuelan parliament, Dr. Jorge Rodríguez, addresses a work
[00:12:19] agenda focused on three topics: comprehensive care for the
[00:12:23] victims of the double earthquake of July 24th, the
[00:12:27] strengthening of democracy, as well as political rights
[00:12:30] and guarantees in this nation. The process resumes
[00:12:34] the preliminary agreements reached in previous meetings in
[00:12:38] order to build consensus for lasting peace and the collective
[00:12:41] well-being of the Venezuelan
[00:12:52] president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, reported
[00:12:55] the following: In Caracas, on August 6,
[00:12:57] 2026, the process of conversations between the
[00:13:01] national government delegation and the 2015 National
[00:13:05] Assembly delegation began with the installation
[00:13:08] of the plenary, agreeing on the methodology, the work
[00:13:11] cycles, and ratifying the agenda of topics that
[00:13:14] this process will address. In the first
[00:13:17] work cycle, says the parliamentarian, we will be in
[00:13:20] permanent session until Wednesday, August 12, and the
[00:13:24] continuity of the plenary will be defined, taking into
[00:13:28] consideration the priority that this process has for the
[00:13:31] well-being of Venezuelans. The parties subscribe to the
[00:13:35] principles of respect for national sovereignty, good
[00:13:38] faith negotiation and the search for benefits for Venezuela,
[00:13:42] political, peaceful, democratic and constitutional solutions,
[00:13:45] mutual recognition and respect between the
[00:13:49] parties, political equality and equal treatment at the table,
[00:13:52] verifiable compliance with commitments, protection of human
[00:13:56] rights and political rights of all forces. It was
[00:13:59] agreed to inform the entire country promptly of the progress
[00:14:17] made in these conversations. This political dialogue process
[00:14:20] in Venezuela joins a long history of conversations between
[00:14:24] the executive and the opposition in the last 27
[00:14:27] years. Our colleague Leonardo
[00:14:28] Urrieta has details in the following
[00:14:31] report. This initiative is promoted by the National
[00:14:35] Assembly chaired by Jorge Rodríguez, where they will talk
[00:14:39] with opposition former deputies of the 2015-2020
[00:14:43] Parliament. The reason will be to promote National Unity and the
[00:14:46] rebirth of Venezuela. Everything that means
[00:14:50] dialoguing, everything that means,
[00:14:53] let's say, that different sectors, especially
[00:14:57] these extremist opposition sectors,
[00:15:00] express themselves, I think it
[00:15:04] is significant. We must greet
[00:15:07] it in a positive way. Dialogue per
[00:15:11] se does not mean,
[00:15:14] it does not mean surrender, it does not
[00:15:18] mean lowering our guard, but on the
[00:15:22] contrary, what we are looking for is the concept.
[00:15:25] President Nicolás Maduro made more than 600 calls for
[00:15:29] dialogue. Acting President Delsi Rodríguez has
[00:15:32] expressed her willingness to converse with the various
[00:15:35] political factors. I think Venezuela has been the country championing
[00:15:39] dialogue. Hugo Chávez was overthrown
[00:15:43] in a coup, and the first thing he did
[00:15:46] was to bring out a saint and
[00:15:50] call a Christ, a Christ and call for dialogue,
[00:15:54] a dialogue that we are sure will yield positive results for the
[00:15:57] Venezuelan people, for the strengthening of institutions, and above
[00:16:00] all, to have results for the benefit of all society. That dialogue that
[00:16:04] is promoted by the National Assembly of
[00:16:07] 2025 and the former deputies of the
[00:16:11] 2015 National Assembly, accompanied by the international
[00:16:15] community, we sponsor and that it also has the
[00:16:18] greatest success and that it is positive. One of the proposals
[00:16:22] of the executive in the rounds of conversations will be the
[00:16:24] demand for the lifting of the more than 1,000 coercive
[00:16:30] the Venezuelan economy. We go with a single
[00:16:33] proposal, the peace of
[00:16:37] sanctions must be part of that dialogue,
[00:16:39] of course, respect
[00:16:41] for
[00:16:43] this constitution, as it always has been, and
[00:16:47] we have said, we talk to whoever it takes, to dialogue
[00:16:51] does not mean
[00:16:51] to surrender,
[00:16:55] and the opposition sector will see, we are going united in a single bloc,
[00:16:59] a frank dialogue is imposed,
[00:17:02] an honest dialogue. They will have to
[00:17:05] demonstrate their will
[00:17:08] to think about the sacred interests of the people of
[00:17:11] Venezuela, to request
[00:17:14] that the government of the United States, that
[00:17:17] OFAC, that the government of President Donald
[00:17:20] Trump lift the economic,
[00:17:23] financial, and commercial blockade. The National
[00:17:27] Dialogue table has the support and international backing.
[00:17:31] The dialogue that is being formed in
[00:17:33] Venezuela is not
[00:17:38] a product of an imposition, but of
[00:17:41] a new correlation of forces at the international
[00:17:45] level, regional level, and also
[00:17:49] internal here within the country.
[00:17:53] The dialogue has to do with
[00:17:55] a new moment in which
[00:17:59] both parties have things to
[00:18:03] gain and things to lose, that's why there's a negotiation
[00:18:06] table, that's why there's a search
[00:18:08] table for a new win-win
[00:18:12] agreement, because one of the objectives of these meetings
[00:18:15] is to address the political reconciliation of the
[00:18:18] country, which has been developing with the amnesty
[00:18:21] law. In the camera of Gustavo Flores, Leonardo Urrieta,
[00:18:25] Telesur, Caracas, Venezuela.
[00:18:28] A month and a half after the seismic emergency, technical
[00:18:31] crews and organized communities deploy simultaneous work
[00:18:34] fronts to lift the.
[00:18:57] Technical teams execute risk mitigation actions for the
[00:19:00] integral rehabilitation and controlled demolition of affected buildings
[00:19:04] and homes. Owners supervise.
[00:19:08] and suddenly in the second tremor the wall
[00:19:10] finishes opening, but in the city center the effects
[00:19:14] also occurred, that eight-story building lost more than
[00:19:18] 20 walls that June 24th,
[00:19:32] weeks after the earthquakes, the recovery efforts transformed the
[00:19:35] urbanism, those white ones. López welcomes us to her
[00:19:39] of Latin America
[00:19:43] in this precise
[00:19:44] place,
[00:19:48] beyond the masonry the intervention transforms the dynamics
[00:19:51] of urbanism, the recovery required organization, perseverance
[00:19:55] and joint work. I
[00:19:58] believe that this project, right, and this
[00:20:01] new Venezuela reborn plan
[00:20:05] made us change in many ways. There
[00:20:08] was a lot of community participation
[00:20:12] both for the repairs and to, you know,
[00:20:15] incentivize the workers. Now the families are calm,
[00:20:18] we had this coffee, Teresa Ortega is back
[00:20:22] home, the engineers who did so much for this
[00:20:26] building, everything was left very beautiful and always
[00:20:29] giving thanks, always, all of
[00:20:33] them to all of us
[00:20:36] to keep living
[00:20:39] as it should be, in unity,
[00:20:42] respect above all. Despite the calm, there are images
[00:20:45] that are not forgotten. That day for
[00:20:49] me. We slept in the street on foot, I
[00:20:52] went to Nuevo Cerco, running
[00:20:54] away from these tall towers because
[00:20:58] they were in danger and that day the walls
[00:21:02] were falling and trembling, that was
[00:21:05] very horrible. Where there was uncertainty before, today there are
[00:21:09] firm foundations. This home has recovered tranquility in its safe
[00:21:12] space, now completely rehabilitated, everything, everything,
[00:21:16] really, the person who came to the council
[00:21:20] as someone who was taking care of the material,
[00:21:23] the guys who helped carry
[00:21:26] all the materials with the guard, those who were always
[00:21:29] attentive to the logistics, it was truly a unique
[00:21:33] and beautiful effort. With each community attended, the
[00:21:36] Venezuela Reborn plan demonstrates that solidarity and organized
[00:21:40] work are the best
[00:21:45] In the camera of Jonaiker Salazar, Luis Tavera, Telesur, Caracas,

[00:21:51] The fourth Continental Assembly of Alba Movements, under the slogan
[00:21:55] "For Socialism, 100 years walking with Fidel," was
[00:21:58] inaugurated this Thursday at the University of Havana. Our correspondent
[00:22:02] Evelyn Leiva Romero has more
[00:22:04] details.
[00:22:09] More than 400 organizations from 25
[00:22:11] countries and 188 delegates from 27 nations
[00:22:15] met in Havana to celebrate the fourth Assembly of Alba
[00:22:18] Movements. Gerardo Hernández Nordelo, hero of the
[00:22:22] Republic of Cuba, described the meeting as a moral
[00:22:25] support for the Cuban Revolution and Socialism.
[00:22:28] You come with the clarity that only by building
[00:22:32] alliances will we achieve victory against the imperialist
[00:22:35] forces that ravage, destroy, and deny all
[00:22:39] possibility of freedom and justice for our peoples.
[00:22:42] We give all our love and commitment to the
[00:22:45] articulation to deepen the path of Alba Movements, which
[00:22:49] is the path of unity, struggle,
[00:22:52] and victory. Event representatives explained
[00:22:56] the need to analyze the conjuncture, socialist strategy
[00:22:59] as politics, axes of struggle, and solidarity
[00:23:02] movements. Alba Movements is an articulation that looks towards socialism,
[00:23:06] clearly that is our ideological position, and even more so in times
[00:23:09] where capitalism only demonstrates misery, exploitation,
[00:23:13] wars, genocides, bombs, and we from Alba Movements
[00:23:16] say we believe in a future for humanity.
[00:23:20] And for us, that emancipated humanity is possible in socialism.
[00:23:23] The International Assembly of Peoples also participates in the
[00:23:27] event, advocating for essential unity to confront
[00:23:30] imperialism. We are very clear that the main
[00:23:34] contradiction we are experiencing today is due to the force that
[00:23:37] imperialism imposes on our countries, the way it is
[00:23:40] trying to subjugate our sovereignties. And well, the message
[00:23:44] today is that to confront an imperialism that is increasingly
[00:23:48] weakened and therefore more
[00:23:50] aggressive, we have to forge. The Venezuelan delegation is composed
[00:23:54] of youth movements, trade unions, and workers. One of the
[00:23:58] main axes to share will be the alternatives for the
[00:24:02] of capitalism. We come to discuss what lessons Venezuela,
[00:24:06] Cuba, and other peoples like the Sahel have learned,
[00:24:09] what is the Palestinian struggle, how from the struggles
[00:24:13] of the peoples we build precisely an alternative to a world
[00:24:16] of capital that is increasingly in crisis, more inequality,
[00:24:20] workers are worse off. And also the United States decides to enter
[00:24:23] a phase where it declares war on the continent and humanity
[00:24:26] in order to try to guarantee its global hegemony.
[00:24:29] The purpose of Alba Movements is to promote a popular,
[00:24:32] anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, feminist,
[00:24:35] eco-socialist counter-offensive. Strategic lines include the
[00:24:38] defense of the Latin American revolution, peace, rejection
[00:24:42] of xenophobia, and the defense of popular internationalism.
[00:24:45] El Campanería and Evelyn Leiba Romero Telesur, Havana
[00:24:49] Cuba.
[00:24:54] Faced with this, the President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz Canel, thanked
[00:24:58] more than 180 delegates from 27
[00:25:01] countries for their courage and solidarity at the opening
[00:25:04] of the Fourth Continental Assembly of Alba Movements. The president
[00:25:08] detailed the following on social networks: today at the University
[00:25:12] of Havana we participated in the opening of the Fourth Continental
[00:25:16] Assembly of Alba Movements with more than 180 delegates from 27
[00:25:20] countries, whom we thank for their courage and solidarity amidst
[00:25:23] the genocidal policy of the United States government, mentioning
[00:25:25] the hashtag #cuba
[00:25:35] is not alone. We take a break, upon our
[00:25:38] return we will tell you about the arrest of former Guerrero
[00:25:42] governor Ángel Aguirre for allegedly being responsible
[00:25:44] for concealing evidence in the disappearance of the 43
[00:25:47] Ayotzinapa students, don't go away. We'll be back
[00:26:33] Battle of
[00:26:34] Junín.
[00:26:38] On August 6, 1824, on the
[00:26:41] plain of Junín, patriot troops under Bolívar
[00:26:44] faced the royalist army where cavalry and courage
[00:26:48] decided the fate of America. This victory was
[00:26:51] crucial to prepare the ground for Ayacucho, liberating
[00:26:55] Peru and consolidating Bolivia's independence.
[00:26:58] Thus, the freedom of an entire continent was forged. The heroes of
[00:27:02] Junín and Ayacucho taught us that independence is
[00:27:05] not only won with swords, it is also defended with
[00:27:09] ideas. August 6,
[00:27:11] 1824. Battle of Junín.
[00:27:47] Thank you for following us in the central edition. We now talk
[00:27:50] about Mexico. The governor of Guerrero, Ángel Heladio Aguirre
[00:27:53] Rivero, was arrested by the Attorney General's Office,
[00:27:57] accused of obstruction of justice and concealment
[00:28:00] of key evidence after the... disappearance of the
[00:28:03] 43 normalistas from Ayotzinapa on September 26,
[00:28:07] 2014. Let's go immediately with our colleague Antonio Aranda for more details
[00:28:11] on all these uh data. Antonio, nice to greet you,
[00:28:14] go ahead.
[00:28:17] Andrea Luis, good afternoon. Indeed, the Attorney General's
[00:28:21] Office arrested the former governor of the State of
[00:28:24] Guerrero, Ángel Heladio Aguirre Rivero, for the accusations
[00:28:29] concealing evidence of the disappearance of the 43
[00:28:32] normalistas from Ayotzinapa, as you well mentioned. This event
[00:28:36] occurred on the night of September 26 and the early morning of
[00:28:40] September 27, 2014 in the municipality of
[00:28:45] the Attorney General's Office, Ernestina God, detailed
[00:28:48] in a message to the media that the former governor
[00:28:52] of Guerrero, Ángel Aguirre, ordered the destruction
[00:28:55] of video recordings from the security cameras outside the
[00:28:58] Palace of Justice, which prevented at the time locating
[00:29:02] the... of the 43 normalistas. Let's
[00:29:05] hear how the official
[00:29:07] detailed it. On the night of September
[00:29:11] 26, 2014, the Estrella de
[00:29:15] Oro bus number 1531
[00:29:18] in which the group of normalistas was traveling
[00:29:21] was video recorded by security cameras numbers
[00:29:25] 12 and 15 located outside
[00:29:28] the Palace of Justice of the state
[00:29:34] moment it was detained by municipal
[00:29:37] and state police.
[00:29:40] Second, the first official versions
[00:29:43] indicated that such material did not
[00:29:45] exist due to alleged technical failures in the
[00:29:49] system. However, subsequent diligence
[00:29:52] proved that this
[00:29:55] version was false. The evidence that the former
[00:29:58] governor of Guerrero destroyed on September 26, 2014,
[00:30:02] was necessary to locate the group of normalistas from Ayotzinapa who,
[00:30:06] after these events, disappeared. The
[00:30:08] authority indicated that far from this being an isolated
[00:30:11] act or a technical omission, the
[00:30:15] concealment of the recordings was the result of a fraudulent
[00:30:18] and deliberately structured operation. The
[00:30:21] prosecutor's office added that some officials did not report anything at the time
[00:30:24] because they were under threats, but subsequent
[00:30:28] testimonies confirmed that the former governor Ángel Aguirre
[00:30:31] ordered to disappear that evidence related to the events
[00:30:34] that occurred in the vicinity of the Palace of Justice in Iguala
[00:30:38] Guerrero, where part of the 43 Ayotzinapa students were initially
[00:30:41] detained. Let's hear how the
[00:30:45] prosecutor general referred to it. In January
[00:30:48] 2026, a collaborating
[00:30:51] person provided testimony that
[00:30:55] confirmed the existence of the
[00:30:58] video recordings and
