[00:00:40] rejected the threats from President
[00:00:43] Spriella to university autonomy after
[00:00:47] announcing the creation of security protocols that
[00:00:50] will allow the entry of police forces to the
[00:01:00] The government of President Abelardo de la Espreya is generating
[00:01:04] controversy in that country, the creation of protocols to
[00:01:07] undertake repression through public force,
[00:01:11] this to counteract protests in universities,
[00:01:14] look, not only at a legal
[00:01:17] level, Santiago, a student at the National University of
[00:01:21] Colombia, argues that the current government's decision to establish
[00:01:24] measures and protocols to manage protests originating in public
[00:01:28] universities, university autonomy,
[00:01:31] violates fundamental rights and even overrides the
[00:01:35] constitution. Well, we believe it's a clear
[00:01:39] scenario of political
[00:01:40] campaign assures that they will persecution, many people who are currently part of
[00:01:43] Abelardo de la Espreya's cabinet or who are close to Abelardo de la
[00:01:47] Espreya, particularly the one who at the time was representative
[00:01:51] number 105 of the Conservative Party, for example, conducts a
[00:01:54] profiling exercise of students, of left-wing media movements,
[00:01:57] and in this profiling, we would consider
[00:02:01] that the underlying intention is not really, as it is discursively
[00:02:05] announced, to end terrorists, since we do not even agree on the
[00:02:08] existence of terrorists, but rather we believe it is a clear
[00:02:12] movement to
[00:02:15] we return, we will review what harm those of us who politically disagree with this fascist government, this far-right
[00:02:18] government, and it is a systematic way to eliminate
[00:02:22] us and to eliminate opposition, but urban
[00:02:24] terrorism, the current president launched
[00:02:28] this warning through a national address, where he also stated
[00:02:32] that university autonomy is not above public
[00:02:35] order. Universities have autonomy,
[00:02:38] that is not in discussion, but university
[00:02:42] autonomy does not mean autonomy in
[00:02:45] matters of public order, nor does it turn campuses into
[00:02:49] territories exempt from the constitution, the
[00:02:53] law, or the legitimate authority of the
[00:02:56] state. That is why I have given clear instructions
[00:03:00] to establish a national protocol of
[00:03:03] action that allows distinguishing when we are facing
[00:03:07] the legitimate exercise of protest and when
[00:03:10] there are acts of violence, flagrancy, danger,
[00:03:14] or extraordinary alterations
[00:03:17] of public order that undoubtedly require
[00:03:20] the intervention of the
[00:03:22] authorities.
[00:03:25] According to the Truth Commission in Colombia, human rights violations committed
[00:03:29] by... authorities against students exceed
[00:03:32] 230 cases between 1964 and
[00:03:35] 2011. These figures, which include assassinations, disappearances
[00:03:39] and torture, directly involve state agents, a
[00:03:43] clear reflection of the serious consequences that this type of
[00:03:46] decision can bring.
[00:03:49] Threatening to have public forces enter public universities
[00:03:52] because protocols are supposedly violated that no one, that are not
[00:03:56] part of the law, are protocols invented by him, another of his
[00:03:59] ways of governing dictatorially with
[00:04:02] decrees, well, that is nothing more than violating autonomy, university
[00:04:06] autonomy has a fundamental function, which is to
[00:04:10] maintain the independence and the
[00:04:12] self-thought of the university as critical
[00:04:16] thought so as not to be subjected to fear, to
[00:04:19] dread or to terror, which is what this government
[00:04:22] is threatening us with, but that has not ended well, every time the
[00:04:26] police enter a university, someone ends up dead, it has not gone
[00:04:30] well, universities are a center of thought where
[00:04:34] people go out and express themselves, it is universities that have moved the
[00:04:38] world, they are different, alternative
[00:04:41] thinking, for that the university built another logic of
[00:04:44] it is true that there are acts
[00:04:48] that can call into question the safety of many people,
[00:04:52] but painting a bus is not comparable to gouging out a young man's
[00:04:56] the arts and culture of eye, and the best way for this to stop is
[00:04:59] to have a good government, one that doesn't make young people protest, that's the best way to
[00:05:02] do it, so there isn't, the problem is not and the solution is not to bring in police,
[00:05:06] the solution will be a good government, it's not to violate rights, but what this is looking for is for young people to go out
[00:05:10] que está buscando es que los jóvenes salgan.
[00:05:12] into the streets to demonstrate, he's provoking it, he is a
[00:05:16] provocateur, an instigator and he's in the best
[00:05:19] solution. According to student and human rights
[00:05:23] organizations, under the excuse of security, surveillance and
[00:05:26] persecution of the student movement is hidden. This measure is clearly
[00:05:29] unconstitutional, since the Magna Carta, in
[00:05:33] accordance with the 1992 law, protects the
[00:05:36] university as a space for critical thought and
[00:05:52] This topic generates reactions on digital platforms. The senator for the historical
[00:05:56] pact, Laura Cristina Homada writes the following, we have it
[00:05:59] there, the president says addressed to President Ablardo de las
[00:06:03] del Estrella, universities are not barracks and you do not have a letter of marque to
[00:06:07] enter and make students pay, if your response
[00:06:10] to protest is to send the police to the campuses, you are not defending
[00:06:14] public order, you are threatening university autonomy and criminalizing
[00:06:18] protest, let it be clear to you, the assemblywoman tells
[00:06:21] them, students do not owe obedience to your
[00:06:24] authoritarianism. More reactions, we also have that of councilman
[00:06:27] Jairo Avellana, he writes this: Universities cannot
[00:06:30] become scenarios of permanent confrontation. President Abelardo
[00:06:34] del Espreya announced that the police will be able to enter universities
[00:06:38] when acts of violence, vandalism or terrorism occur. But we must
[00:06:41] ask ourselves, do we really want to normalize the presence of public
[00:06:44] forces within campuses? Our history has already
[00:06:48] shown us that taking political and social confrontation to
[00:06:51] universities can end very badly. University autonomy must
[00:06:55] be protected and peaceful protest must
[00:06:57] be guaranteed. The solution cannot be to militarize spaces
[00:07:01] where ideas, debate and education should prevail.
[00:07:04] This other reaction comes from Senator Alejandro Campo, he writes
[00:07:08] this: People cover their faces to protest because they know
[00:07:12] who they are, who are the ones who assassinate them, as many students
[00:07:15] and union leaders have been assassinated, it is incredible that
[00:07:19] Abelardo first thinks about repressing students and not about
[00:07:23] attacking drug dens, large
[00:07:26] drug outlets and criminal groups, the idea is not to
[00:07:29] fight crime, it is to threaten whoever may protest against him, that
[00:07:33] will end with dead students, he tells the president of
[00:07:36] Colombia, we are also going to finalize by reviewing this other
[00:07:40] post that comes from Esmeralda Hernández. She is a
[00:07:42] senator, she posts this on her X account, we can
[00:07:46] share it, there we see, she talks about the president
[00:07:50] of Colombia, Belardo del Espreya, who is very wrong, that's how she addresses him, he cannot
[00:07:53] violate university autonomy which has constitutional protection, those
[00:07:57] who decide whether or not the police enter are the rectors, this
[00:08:00] protection is not a whim, it was born precisely after several
[00:08:04] governments militarized campuses in the past, claiming the lives of numerous
[00:08:08] students, don't be mistaken, she tells President Abelardo del Espreya,
[00:08:12] don't... focus on one of the most organized, critical and
[00:08:15] resistant movements in the country, which is the student movement. We
[00:08:18] will also add that of political scientist Alejandro Palacio, who
[00:08:22] says and asks, what is Belardo looking for by attacking
[00:08:26] he answers, to justify its
[00:08:29] underfunding and legitimize
[00:08:32] of the internal enemy has historically
[00:08:35] movement in Colombia. These are some of the reactions on digital
[00:08:50] Venezuelan territory, more than 6
[00:08:54] million children have returned to classrooms and the government,
[00:08:57] from the highest local authorities, has guaranteed a key
[00:09:01] aspect, which is the emotional protection of these
[00:09:05] children and adolescents who experienced
[00:09:08] the seismic doublet on June 24th. I share
[00:09:12] this video with you and when I return, more of what
[00:09:14] I tell you,
[00:09:20] since very early this morning for the return of more than 6 million
[00:09:24] boys and girls who are returning to class, who are
[00:09:28] returning today to their school activities.
[00:10:30] As every year, the United Nations headquarters receives world
[00:10:33] leaders during its high-level week amidst international
[00:10:36] debate on the transformation of multilateral organizations to
[00:10:40] act in favor of the majorities who clamor for equity in decision-making
[00:10:44] and have a real impact on respect for the self-determination
[00:10:48] of peoples and international law. Telesur provides
[00:10:51] special coverage of this important event with our special
[00:10:55] envoy Jorge Gestoso and our correspondents in
[00:10:58] the United States, José Leveña and Henry
[00:11:01] Camelo. Eighty-first session of the United
[00:11:05] Nations General Assembly 2026, through our multiplatform,
[00:11:09] only on Telesur.
[00:11:40] In Brazil, Flavio Bolsonaro's presidential
[00:11:43] campaign assured that the far-right candidate
[00:11:47] is inspired by Milei's economic management, which has impoverished
[00:11:50] more than 30% of Argentinians,
[00:11:59] far-right senator Flavio Bolsonaro's presidential
[00:12:05] replicate, listen carefully, the economic policy that Javier Miley's
[00:12:09] government implements in Argentina. The coordinator
[00:12:12] Daniela Márquez, the one you see on screen, spoke about economic and administrative
[00:12:15] proposals during an event, she affirmed that they are inspired by the reforms that
[00:12:19] Javier Miley's government is implementing in Argentina. Márquez, who
[00:12:23] presided over the Public Bank, also spoke about these lines
[00:12:26] framed in this proposal along with Yair
[00:12:30] Bolsonaro, who we remember is sentenced and also
[00:12:34] the presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, who could assume
[00:12:37] the presidency and revive the current
[00:12:40] crisis that Argentina
[00:12:42] is going through.
[00:12:49] But let's talk about the data on the Argentine crisis, as this
[00:12:53] country has already raised its poverty index, reaching more than
[00:12:56] 30% of the year-on-year record on average between the
[00:13:00] months of March and August of this year. These data highlight a
[00:13:03] warning sign about the social situation and the purchasing power that has
[00:13:07] fallen within Argentine households that also
[00:13:10] face low incomes. At least
[00:13:12] 9.4 million people are in
[00:13:16] poverty, this represents a great deterioration and also highlights the
[00:13:19] high inflation rates, low wages, among other
[00:13:23] scenarios. The figures... The known figures so far correspond to
[00:13:27] private estimates and processing. The definitive
[00:13:30] projections will be known this September 24th
[00:13:33] when the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses issues its
[00:13:37] report.
[00:13:45] The crisis is not only felt within Argentine households, the Chamber of Industry
[00:13:49] and Commerce of Meat and Derivatives in this country has reported that the domestic
[00:13:53] market for beef has fallen by 11.3% year-on-year in
[00:13:57] the first 8 months of this 2026, this is a
[00:14:00] reflection of the high cost of prices for
[00:14:03] this food, the unprecedented collapse of domestic
[00:14:06] consumption, which is a combination that also impacts
[00:14:09] purchasing power, which is much lower in households, a relative
[00:14:13] increase in the price of the product and a general decrease in
[00:14:16] production.
[00:14:25] To this must be added that in Argentina, the housing access crisis also
[00:14:28] hits the young population more severely under the current
[00:14:32] economic situation in that country, according to data
[00:14:35] provided by the Federal Housing Access Observatory, approximately
[00:14:39] 2.5 million young people between 25 and 35
[00:14:43] years old cannot access their own home,
[00:14:46] 46% of them have not been able to become independent and live
[00:14:50] in inadequate conditions, in deficient infrastructures or are
[00:14:54] overcrowded. This shows an unmet demand of
[00:14:57] 500,000 housing units, this
[00:15:00] is added to the lack of public policy, which is also not at all
[00:15:04] effective on the part of Javier Miley's government to address housing
[00:15:08] access.
[00:15:18] Just a few weeks before the development of these presidential elections in
[00:15:21] Brazil, the candidate for re-election, the current president Luis
[00:15:25] Ignacio Lula da Silva has deployed a large mobilization throughout
[00:15:28] the national territory across 27 states with
[00:15:32] approximately 1120 activities. What is the objective?
[00:15:36] To continue supporting this campaign.
[00:15:38] Let's see images of how hundreds of supporters join
[00:15:41] this great caravan, a march that has been
[00:15:45] broadcast through digital platforms, from
[00:15:49] there with these flags, these
[00:15:51] slogans, various sectors of the population
[00:15:55] of the South American giant have joined. According to the latest
[00:15:58] polls of voting intention, President Luis
[00:16:01] Ignacio Lula da Silva maintains a four-point lead
[00:16:05] over Flavio Bolsonaro, who faces investigations
[00:16:08] for corruption, money laundering linked to former banker
[00:16:12] Daniel Borcaro.
[00:16:29] Milei's model in Brazil by the
[00:16:35] this user writes on his X account.
[00:16:38] Frank Macedo. This is what he says: Betting on Javier
[00:16:42] Milei's model for Brazil is to import a recipe for impoverishment,
[00:16:46] recession and social dismantling. Sacrificing workers
[00:16:49] and national industry in the name of a fraction of
[00:16:52] punitive austerity, says the user. We add another
[00:16:56] reaction, Federal Deputy Boncas, says: the
[00:17:00] "Dog Meat Project", that's what he
[00:17:02] calls it. The head of economy of Flavio
[00:17:05] Bolsonaro's campaign, Daniela Marquez, says that she is inspired by Milei's Argentina,
[00:17:09] where poverty has already reached 52% of the people and
[00:17:13] hits children and retirees hard, water
[00:17:16] and electricity rates are exploding and the
[00:17:19] people are eating dog meat, he writes on his
[00:17:22] X account, we also add user Aurelio Nerick who
[00:17:26] asks, Flavio Bolsonaro says that Milei is an example,
[00:17:30] then show the complete package: brutal
[00:17:33] adjustment, loss of purchasing power, cuts in
[00:17:36] the state, regarding retirees, increase in poverty,
[00:17:39] he asks, if that is the economic model for Brazil, then
[00:17:43] workers should know who will pay the
[00:17:55] military escalation, this conflict that also faces Yemen and
[00:17:59] Saudi Arabia, which represents the Anzarola
[00:18:02] movement amidst this decisive
[00:18:06] bet. The details when I tell you more.
[00:18:45] The world is constantly moving and new
[00:18:48] events are generated every day, global geopolitics
[00:18:51] is moving, we ask ourselves, what is behind
[00:18:54] each event, what are the consequences and how do they
[00:18:58] affect us, in the face of these questions we will seek to put
[00:19:01] the dot on the
[00:19:02] i.
[00:19:07] only on Telesur.
[00:19:23] Join me, let's review our West Asia connection.
[00:19:27] I must tell you that the resistance axis movement has
[00:19:31] confirmed the execution of a large-scale military operation against a
[00:19:34] Saudi Arabian air base, using dozens of... ballistic missiles, but
[00:19:38] also drones. The spokesman for the Yemeni armed forces, Brigadier
[00:19:42] General Yahya Sari, assures that the
[00:19:44] operation targeted radars, landing strips and
[00:19:48] ammunition depots at King Khalid Air Base. Sari has
[00:19:52] detailed that Saudi Arabia launched 58 airstrikes against
[00:19:55] six Yemeni provinces in recent hours. That is why
[00:19:58] Ansarullah responds under the principle of legitimate
[00:20:02] defense against these aggressions. Its army announces that it will also
[00:20:06] carry out others based on the equation of blockade for blockade,
[00:20:09] escalation for escalation. I'll tell you
[00:20:12] more, Yemeni forces also take control of the strategic
[00:20:16] area of Kabur in the south of the country, after facing the
[00:20:19] expulsion of the forces supporting the Saudi
[00:20:23] Kingdom. Yemeni media are also reporting on these
[00:20:26] events, highlighting that at least four leaders of the Saudi
[00:20:30] support forces have died and another five have been
[00:20:34] injured. Attacks that are also causing an increase in divisions
[00:20:37] and the deterioration of the Riyadh-backed army,
[00:20:41] in addition to accounting for high numbers of losses within
[00:20:44] Saudi troops. I also
[00:20:47] tell you that the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran affirmed
[00:20:50] that the agreement with Oman in relation to the Strait of Hormuz
[00:20:54] exclusively addresses the sovereignty of both nations, as confirmed
[00:20:57] by the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghey, who reported
[00:21:01] that the meeting planned in Oman was postponed, delayed, in
[00:21:04] reality which is the correct term, at the request of Saudi Arabia given the latest
[00:21:08] events recorded in Yemen. The Iranian spokesman also
[00:21:12] stressed that there is no interference from the Persian nation in the internal
[00:21:16] affairs of what is this escalating tension also in the region of
[00:21:20] Western, where they have denounced that third parties are taking advantage
[00:21:23] of this situation, as Tehran warns. The agreement, however,
[00:21:27] between Iran and Oman seeks to delimit the navigable waterways in the
[00:21:30] Strait of Hormuz with the creation of an alternate maritime corridor, the
[00:21:34] objective, to ensure, on the one hand, free navigation and also
[00:21:38] key security in this
[00:21:57] Let's talk about the economy, the third term of Luis Ignacio Lula
[00:22:00] da Silva's government has been consolidating important advances, especially in this
[00:22:04] economic matter, with social impact and even national
[00:22:07] sovereignty. This has reaffirmed a political project focused on autonomy,
[00:22:10] but also development, with distributive
[00:22:13] justice, what in other Latin American countries is known
[00:22:17] as social justice. Watch this story. In the
[00:22:20] labor field, the creation of more than 10 million new formal
[00:22:24] contracts since the beginning of the administration stands out, which
[00:22:28] reflects a solid recovery of the state's capacity to generate registered
[00:22:31] employment, promote the improvement of real wages, and strengthen
[00:22:35] collective bargaining in favor of Brazilian workers.
[00:22:39] Likewise, the current Brazilian administration has
[00:22:42] strongly supported measures aimed at transforming the living
[00:22:46] conditions of the working class, accompanying historical
[00:22:49] demands to reduce extensive working hours,
[00:22:52] thus prioritizing the well-being, physical health, and family
[00:22:56] life of millions of people in key sectors such as commerce and
[00:23:00] services. In the financial and technological sphere, the Brazilian
[00:23:03] state has firmly defended public tools for inclusion and
[00:23:07] economic independence, against external pressures and investigations,
[00:23:10] guaranteeing free alternatives that benefit
[00:23:14] small businesses and protect popular resources from the dominance
[00:23:17] of foreign corporations. Similarly,
[00:23:21] macroeconomic and legislative policies have been promoted
[00:23:24] to direct liquidity towards industrial production, promote tax
[00:23:28] equity through the exemption of taxes on essential
[00:23:31] products, and safeguard national strategic assets
[00:23:34] and minerals, consolidating a sovereign and deeply
[00:23:38] democratic country.
[00:27:36] joined this international alliance, doing
[00:27:39] so formally, for big cats, to reinforce the legal
[00:27:43] support for their protection, through "Destino Verde" (Green Destination), which is a space on
[00:27:47] our Telesur multiplatform. We show you images and
[00:27:50] transport you to this great biodiversity that this
[00:28:03] Venezuela takes a giant step in the defense of its
[00:28:06] biodiversity by formally joining the International
[00:28:09] Big Cat Alliance. Following the framework
[00:28:12] approval by the executive branch and the National Assembly, the
[00:28:16] country provides solid legal protection for the conservation
[00:28:19] of six fundamental species: the jaguar, the puma, the
[00:28:23] cunaguaro, the onza, oncilla, and the margay. Given
[00:28:26] the advance of habitat loss and the exploitation of natural
[00:28:30] resources, this international alliance reinforces
[00:28:33] cooperation and vigilance in key territories such as the
[00:28:36] Amazon and the Guayana region. Defending these
[00:28:39] felines is preserving the vital balance of our forests.
[00:28:56] The most important historical weapon that imperialists have had against the
[00:29:00] peoples of Africa and everywhere else in the world
[00:29:04] has been division, division between countries,
[00:29:07] division between ethnic groups, division between revolutionary
[00:29:11] forces. If there is one thing we would like to emphasize in these
[00:29:15] brief words, it is that unity must be the permanent motto of
[00:29:19] all of us who oppose the system of domination that imperialism
[00:29:22] intends to preserve. Fidel Castro. September 14,
[00:29:25] 1978, speech delivered at the inaugural session
[00:29:29] of the International Conference of Solidarity.
[00:30:31] Prix Plus group has concluded in New Delhi, India, on key
[00:30:34] axes. On the one hand, highlighting the role played by the
