[00:00:18] How are you? We are starting a new informational tour will be to sign the Shield of through the Telesur screen.
[00:00:22] Let's get to know our
[00:00:23] prominent headlines.
[00:00:26] With the objective of strengthening resistance against
[00:00:30] imperialist aggressions in the global south, delegates from all over Latin
[00:00:33] America and the Caribbean meet
[00:00:38] scan the QR code to in Cuba.
[00:00:41] The Spanish Ministry of the Interior announced temporary
[00:00:44] border controls for passengers coming from Italy due
[00:00:47] to the migratory alert in
[00:00:53] its attacks against various Ceuta. India reports that the monsoon
[00:00:56] raises the death toll to 136 in several
[00:01:00] states, while the meteorological department
[00:01:04] issues new alerts for heavy rainfall.
[00:01:20] I am Andrea Romero, I will be accompanying you and we go with the news with the
[00:01:24] objective of strengthening resistance against imperialist
[00:01:27] aggressions in the Global South, delegates from all over Latin America
[00:01:31] and the Caribbean meet in Cuba. Belén
[00:01:35] The Pan American Health groups with de Los Santos tells us the details of this meeting of social
[00:01:37] movements.
[00:01:40] that unites the struggles of Cuba, Brazil, Venezuela or Haiti.
[00:01:44] How do you build a common path from different
[00:01:47] territories? This is the task faced by delegates
[00:01:50] from 27 countries in the Cuban capital.
[00:01:54] We start the day by making a
[00:01:57] more than 47 cases were historical review of our experiences of socialism,
[00:02:00] which is not just history, but is
[00:02:03] present and our future and our references.
[00:02:07] One of the keys is to converse, to listen to learn from the experience
[00:02:11] of others. From Cuba, the importance of construction always close
[00:02:14] to the people is highlighted, a characteristic of
[00:02:18] Fidel. Among us there is a fundamental principle of Fidel, which
[00:02:22] is communion with the
[00:02:24] comprehensive protection of people, which is not that
[00:02:25] elderly people through you like the people, it is not that you understand the problem of the people,
[00:02:28] but that you are capable of building in the people a project of liberation
[00:02:32] in which the same people build you, build
[00:02:35] themselves as a protagonist subject and change the reality they
[00:02:39] had to live. From the Caribbean also come the lessons of the Haitian
[00:02:43] revolution, still powerful to understand the present
[00:02:46] of the region, and a fundamental element of this construction
[00:02:50] is the emergence of a counter-hegemonic culture,
[00:02:54] not based on a new language, Creole,
[00:02:57] in a new spirituality and in new forms of organization
[00:03:01] of work, thus internationalism is built, highlighting
[00:03:05] historical and present practices that open an alternative
[00:03:08] focused on the well-being of the peoples. Socialism
[00:03:12] is not something, it is not a discourse,
[00:03:15] it is not a utopia, it is a necessity,
[00:03:18] but it is also a daily practice and that
[00:03:22] from the little we are doing
[00:03:25] sectors continue to pay the in a settlement or camp interference in regional in the way of organizing,
[00:03:28] in the way of producing a perspective
[00:03:40] that I call the pedagogy of revolutions to be able to nourish ourselves with all this
[00:03:43] richness and to be able to
[00:03:47] advance against the challenges of today
[00:03:50] and today more than ever in our
[00:03:55] offers. Scan the QR continent those processes we need to put in a necessary
[00:03:58] unity. to build a necessary
[00:04:01] integration to stop an offensive that we
[00:04:04] are experiencing in the continent that is perhaps
[00:04:08] one of the worst of all times in our
[00:04:11] history. Belén de los Santos for Telesur from
[00:04:14] Havana, Cuba. In
[00:04:18] structure of the transmission towers the city of Cali, Abelardo de la Espriella assumed the presidency of the Republic, reiterating his
[00:04:22] policy of foreign subordination after announcing
[00:04:26] the incorporation of Colombia into the Shield of the Americas. During his speech
[00:04:30] this Friday, de la Espriella justified Colombia's integration
[00:04:33] into the US initiative to combat groups that
[00:04:37] threaten the stability of nations. However,
[00:04:40] experts warn that the White House's plan
[00:04:42] is a step towards foreign interference that threatens
[00:04:46] the sovereignty of the countries in the region.
[00:04:49] He also promised a heavy hand against criminal gangs, construction
[00:04:53] of mega-prisons, tightening of sentences, and
[00:04:56] reduction of public spending. In this way, the
[00:05:00] people receive a new government with disagreements with the outgoing
[00:05:04] administration of Gustavo Petro, announcements of direct
[00:05:07] internal confrontation, and the incorporation into
[00:05:10] Washington's doctrines.
[00:05:22] One of my first acts of government after this ceremony
[00:05:28] the Americas, an initiative that
[00:05:31] will allow us to unite capabilities,
[00:05:34] share strategic information, and
[00:05:37] strengthen the joint action of free
[00:05:40] nations against the threats
[00:05:44] that affect national
[00:05:47] and regional security. No
[00:05:49] state can defeat alone structures that
[00:05:53] operate on a global scale. Without presenting
[00:05:57] evidence or referring to ongoing investigations,
[00:06:01] he blamed the government of Gustavo Petro for the assassination
[00:06:04] of Miguel Uribe Turbay, bringing an accusation
[00:06:07] of that caliber to his presidential
[00:06:09] inauguration.
[00:06:12] I pay a heartfelt tribute to the memory
[00:06:15] of Miguel Uribe Turbay,
[00:06:18] assassinated by the
[00:06:21] interlocutors of the regime that, thank
[00:06:24] God, ends today.
[00:06:27] Delspriella announced that his government will publish a list of
[00:06:31] narcoterrorist groups. However, the most worrying thing is his
[00:06:35] declaration to abandon
[00:06:36] dialogue.
[00:06:43] the list of narcoterrorist
[00:06:46] the purpose of providing our glorious
[00:06:50] public force with effective
[00:06:52] instruments for the frontal
[00:06:56] combat of crime. The
[00:06:59] option of dialogue is completely
[00:07:03] exhausted.
[00:07:13] We go to Venezuela. In Caracas, the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez,
[00:07:16] shared an emotional meeting with the first
[00:07:20] 200 beneficiaries of the New Home for Grandparents and Grandmothers
[00:07:23] La Primavera, located in the Libertador municipality. This space,
[00:07:27] which is part of the public policies promoted by the national
[00:07:31] government, materializes the state's commitment to the
[00:07:38] the Great Mission Grandmothers and Grandfathers of the Homeland,
[00:07:41] a program that guarantees health care, food,
[00:07:45] and essential services for this beloved sector of
[00:07:49] Venezuelan society. During her visit, the president called
[00:07:52] on governors and mayors to replicate
[00:07:56] this experience throughout the national territory,
[00:07:59] emphasizing that these spaces should become the home
[00:08:02] of the family of grandparents and grandmothers, where they
[00:08:06] feel companionship, affection,
[00:08:08] and dignity.
[00:08:13] First of all, I am very happy. In
[00:08:16] November of last year, we were with a commune
[00:08:20] here nearby, and
[00:08:22] this building
[00:08:26] belonged to the Ministry of Hydrocarbons. I was Minister of
[00:08:28] Hydrocarbons and I gave instructions for it to be converted
[00:08:32] into a grandparents' home, that is why we are very pleased
[00:08:36] to be inaugurating this spring grandparents' home
[00:08:38] today because attention. The
[00:08:42] attention our elderly deserve is a priority
[00:08:46] for the national government. The
[00:08:49] Minister of Electric Power of Venezuela, Rolando Alcalá, reported
[00:08:53] on the recovery process of the national electrical system after
[00:08:57] the affectation registered last June 24 due to the
[00:09:01] double
[00:09:01] seismic event.
[00:09:07] Yes, well, indeed, after June 24,
[00:09:11] there was a great affectation in several states of the country
[00:09:15] and among them the central region, specifically
[00:09:18] the Carabobo thermoelectric plant and the
[00:09:20] Plantacentro plant. There were damages to the
[00:09:23] infrastructure and electrical equipment, there were also
[00:09:27] damages to the
[00:09:31] of the 400 line, Plantacentro,
[00:09:33] Yaracuy, in the Termocaraó plant,
[00:09:37] we have recovered two of the four
[00:09:41] generation units. There was damage to all
[00:09:44] the transformers, we have already recovered two, in the
[00:09:47] coming days we would be recovering the third and for that
[00:09:51] this would be adding 450,
[00:09:55] 450 MB of the 600 that
[00:09:58] we lost at the time of the double seismic event.
[00:10:01] Likewise, the Minister of Electric Power of Venezuela, Rolando Alcalá,
[00:10:05] specified, the link between
[00:10:08] Plantacentro Yaraco and the 400 line was lost, which
[00:10:12] resulted in a
[00:10:15] reduction in the transfer of power of about
[00:10:19] 100 MB for the central and
[00:10:22] western regions of the country, this resulted in
[00:10:25] instability in the national electrical system, but I must
[00:10:29] highlight the following, we are working 24 hours a day
[00:10:32] since the two earthquakes occurred in the Corpoelec
[00:10:36] teams, the technical teams, engineers and workers, we continue
[00:10:39] working and we have already recovered one of the three
[00:10:43] transmission towers that were practically knocked down by the
[00:10:46] double earthquake, we have already recovered one and we
[00:10:50] continue working to recover the other
[00:10:53] two as soon as possible.
[00:10:57] In Chile, Congress rejected the proposal of far-right
[00:11:00] parties to suspend the Karim Law for five years,
[00:11:03] a key regulation against workplace harassment,
[00:11:07] sexual harassment and violence at work. The parties
[00:11:10] promoting the freeze argued for an alleged
[00:11:13] saturation of the administrative system. In response,
[00:11:17] legislators from various political tendencies
[00:11:20] dismissed this argument to prioritize the
[00:11:23] labor rights of citizens. Several parliamentarians argued
[00:11:26] that the more than 66,000 complaints registered since the
[00:11:30] promulgation of the law in 2024
[00:11:33] make visible a historically hidden problem
[00:11:36] in the labor sphere of Chile.
[00:11:39] Likewise, the Senate steering committee proposed
[00:11:42] improving the existing regulations of the law instead
[00:11:46] of undermining the integrity
[00:11:48] of workers.
[00:12:00] Organization issued an epidemiological alert for the countries of
[00:12:04] America with the aim of reinforcing vaccination
[00:12:07] due to the measles outbreak and the increase in cases.
[00:12:11] The department warned that the American continent
[00:12:14] registers the highest number of measles cases in
[00:12:18] over two decades after
[00:12:22] confirmed in 16 countries in the region with at least
[00:12:25] 44 deaths in three countries. According to
[00:12:29] reports, this year's figure represents triple the cases
[00:12:32] registered in 2025, where 95% of cases
[00:12:36] were confirmed in Guatemala, Mexico,
[00:12:39] the United States, and Peru. The public health risk
[00:12:42] associated with measles in America is classified
[00:12:46] as high due to some more news, do not miss it.

[00:13:31] The overheating of the oceans due to the extractivist capitalist
[00:13:34] model has unleashed the fury of the phenomenon
[00:13:38] known as the super Niño, an
[00:13:41] extreme event that severely punishes vulnerable

[00:14:28] coming from Italy due to the migratory alert in Ceuta.
[00:14:32] The measure came into effect this Saturday and will remain
[00:14:36] in force until September 7. The Spanish government's decision
[00:14:40] comes after the migratory crisis faced by Ceuta after the entry
[00:14:43] of 72 Moroccan migrants.
[00:14:47] The measure also corresponds to Rome's decision to
[00:14:50] unilaterally restrict the Schengen area,
[00:14:53] located by Madrid as an unjust
[00:14:57] decision, contrary to the interests of the European
[00:15:00] Union and discriminatory for the Spanish population.
[00:15:22] An extreme heat wave keeps 19 Italian cities
[00:15:25] on red alert and is expected to last at least
[00:15:29] another 10 days. The Ministry of Health highlights that Italy
[00:15:33] will have an extremely hot weekend in several regions
[00:15:36] of the country, emphasizing that the most affected area
[00:15:40] will be in the center and south of the peninsula. In turn,
[00:15:44] climate authorities
[00:15:47] of affected cities may vary during the day,
[00:15:50] due to different changes, such as in the region of
[00:15:54] Tuscany, which reached 38°C.
[00:15:57] To the north, due to the torrential rains that also left hundreds
[00:16:01] of affected families. The floods submerged
[00:16:05] tunnels and the city
[00:16:08] of Sana'a, after the roads were flooded, sweeping
[00:16:12] away vehicles and paralyzing traffic in the north
[00:16:15] of the capital. Markets were also affected with the
[00:16:18] destruction of stalls and shops. More than 12,000
[00:16:21] families lost their homes, while the rains advance
[00:16:25] to landmines and agricultural areas, increasing
[00:16:29] the risk for civilians. In addition, humanitarian
[00:16:32] organizations warn of the lack of funds and ask for urgent
[00:16:36] support to address the emergency.
[00:16:48] India reports that the monsoon raises the death toll to 136
[00:16:52] in several states while the meteorological department
[00:16:56] issues new alerts for heavy rainfall. The
[00:16:59] Indian government indicated that the number of affected
[00:17:02] people is close to 1.2 million in 25 districts
[00:17:06] and more. 77 thousand people are
[00:17:10] refugees in relief camps. The authorities
[00:17:13] register more than 27, people displaced in
[00:17:16] shelters and another 12 deaths were registered
[00:17:20] due to lightning strikes during the storms.
[00:17:23] The weather event caused another 12
[00:17:27] deaths due to lightning strikes during the
[00:17:29] storms. The weather event causes severe floods,
[00:17:32] landslides and dozens of fatalities in the
[00:17:36] Asian country.
[00:17:46] The government of Greenland issued a warning to the
[00:17:49] oil company linked to Donald Trump, Greenland
[00:17:52] Energy, about drilling operations in the region
[00:17:56] without authorization. These warnings come after
[00:18:00] the US company mobilized to remote areas
[00:18:03] of the island to begin oil drilling
[00:18:06] operations without requesting permission from the
[00:18:10] Greenlandic government. In this regard, the executive stated
[00:18:13] that it granted permits for Greenland Energy
[00:18:17] to land on its territory, so it
[00:18:19] reminded that all logistical processes must previously
[00:18:23] have Greenland's
[00:18:25] authorization.

[00:21:24] its ground operations in Khan Yunis, while the
[00:21:27] Ministry of Health reported more than 73,000 deaths
[00:21:31] due to the aggression. Authorities warned that several victims are still
[00:21:35] under the rubble and roads due to the difficulty of reaching
[00:21:38] the destroyed areas. The occupation continues
[00:21:43] areas of the Gaza Strip, in the context of the ongoing
[00:21:47] genocide, despite the ceasefire.
[00:21:59] The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas,
[00:22:02] affirms to be willing to comply with the peace
[00:22:05] agreement as long as Israel first executes the military
[00:22:09] withdrawal and the cessation of attacks. Hamas also
[00:22:12] demands that the US government intervene
[00:22:15] directly and pressure Israel to respect
[00:22:19] the commitments of the first phase of the plan, the Palestinian
[00:22:22] movement requested to accelerate the entry of
[00:22:26] the national committee for political, humanitarian,
[00:22:29] and reconstruction administration and management
[00:22:31] of the Gaza Strip. In parallel, Israeli Prime
[00:22:35] Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denies having approved
[00:22:38] the draft agreement, while on the ground distrust
[00:22:42] persists due to the attacks that have left civilians
[00:22:45] killed and wounded, despite the reduction of
[00:22:49] bombings.
[00:23:00] Iran denounced that the United States violated the memorandum
[00:23:04] of understanding, so these actions should be
[00:23:07] investigated by Pakistan. The Iranian
[00:23:09] Foreign Minister, Abasarachi, affirmed that the Persian
[00:23:13] country was implementing Article 5 of the
[00:23:16] Memorandum of Understanding, where he highlighted that navigation
[00:23:20] through the Strait of Hormuz would return to normality
[00:23:23] within one month. Despite Tehran's warnings,
[00:23:27] US forces continue their efforts to
[00:23:30] delay the memorandum in territory. Arachi
[00:23:34] described the US intentions to undermine Iran's
[00:23:38] management of the Strait of Hormuz as
[00:23:40] unacceptable.
[00:23:50] Iran's Revolutionary Guard stated that the
[00:23:53] reopening of the Strait of Hormuz depends on the United
[00:23:56] States accepting Tehran's demands. Iran conditioned
[00:24:00] the reopening of the maritime passage to the criteria
[00:24:04] and mechanisms established by the Persian government,
[00:24:08] including the cessation of US
[00:24:12] affairs, and ruled out any connection with recent
[00:24:15] negotiations with Oman. Tehran stressed that the
[00:24:19] Strait of Hormuz is not only a commercial
[00:24:22] route, but also represents a key
[00:24:25] component in strategic geopolitical influence,
[00:24:28] demonstrating its importance for global stability.
[00:24:31] In addition, the Revolutionary Guard highlighted that once
[00:24:35] Washington meets the conditions, there will
[00:24:38] be no obstacles to the
[00:24:41] reopening.
