[00:00:28] How are you? This is. News, I'm Aron Romero and these
[00:00:32] are our
[00:00:32] headlines.
[00:00:39] Social movements in Colombia rejected the threats of the
[00:00:42] to violate rights, but this is president of Esprieya to university autonomy after
[00:00:46] announcing the creation of security protocols that will allow police
[00:00:50] forces to enter the
[00:00:51] campuses.
[00:00:58] In Brazil, the presidential campaign of Flavio Bolsonaro
[00:01:01] indicates that the far-right candidate is inspired by the
[00:01:04] economic management of President Javier Miley in Argentina, who has
[00:01:07] impoverished more than
[00:01:09] people live in poor households, which 30% of the population of that country, of
[00:01:11] Argentina.
[00:01:17] The military escalation continues in the Middle East conflict, framed in the
[00:01:20] direct confrontations between the Houthi movement of Yemen
[00:01:24] and the coalition led by Saudi
[00:01:26] Arabia.
[00:01:36] We get into the matter, the decision of the Colombian government to
[00:01:39] create a series of protocols so that the public force can
[00:01:43] enter universities, violating a key principle of
[00:01:46] the autonomies of these campuses, has raised
[00:01:50] multiple criticisms in the student community and also among the
[00:01:55] divisions, as well as the teaching staff. Our
[00:01:56] This is the Siloé neighborhood, the hillside correspondent Hernan Tobar shares details about this situation.
[00:02:03] Santiago, a student at the National University of Colombia, argues that the current government's
[00:02:07] decision to establish measures and protocols to manage
[00:02:11] protests originating in public universities violates
[00:02:14] university autonomy, violates fundamental rights, and
[00:02:18] even goes against the constitution,
[00:02:21] because we believe it is a clear scenario of political persecution,
[00:02:25] uh, many people who are currently part of Abelardo de la Espriella's cabinet or who
[00:02:29] are close to Abelardo de la Espriella, particularly the one
[00:02:33] who at the time was representative 105 of the Conservative Party,
[00:02:37] uh, for example, makes a profiling exercise of students, of
[00:02:40] left-wing media movements, uh, and in this
[00:02:43] profiling, we would consider that the underlying intention
[00:02:47] is not really, as it is discursively announced, to end terrorists,
[00:02:51] a symbol of unity and justice in since we do not even agree on the existence of
[00:02:54] terrorists, uh, but rather we believe
[00:02:57] that it is a clear movement to harm those who
[00:03:01] politically disagree with this fascist government, this far-right government, and it is a
[00:03:05] systematic way to destroy us and to destroy the
[00:03:07] opposition. But urban terrorism. The
[00:03:11] current president launched this warning through a
[00:03:14] national address, where he also maintained that university
[00:03:17] autonomy is not above public order.
[00:03:21] Universities have autonomy, that is not
[00:03:24] in dispute, but university autonomy does not
[00:03:28] mean autonomy in matters of public
[00:03:31] order, nor does it convert campuses into
[00:03:34] territories subtracted from the constitution,
[00:03:38] law, or the legitimate authority of the
[00:03:41] state, which is why I have given clear instructions to
[00:03:44] establish a national protocol of
[00:03:48] action that allows distinguishing when we are facing
[00:03:51] the legitimate exercise of protest and when
[00:03:55] there are acts of
[00:03:57] 1856 in violence, flagrancy, danger, or
[00:04:00] extraordinary alterations of public order that
[00:04:03] constantly recycle what undoubtedly require the intervention of the
[00:04:07] authorities.
[00:04:10] According to the Truth Commission in Colombia, human rights violations
[00:04:13] committed by authorities against
[00:04:16] become higher, which students exceed 230 cases between 1964 and
[00:04:20] 2011. These figures, which include assassinations, disappearances,
[00:04:24] and torture, directly involve state agents, a
[00:04:27] clear reflection of the serious consequences that this type of
[00:04:30] determination can bring,
[00:04:33] threatening to have the public force
[00:04:35] sectors are located in a enter public universities, because supposedly some protocols
[00:04:38] that no one, that are not part of the law, are protocols
[00:04:42] invented by him, another of his ways of governing
[00:04:46] dictatorially, with decrees, well, that is nothing more than
[00:04:49] violating autonomy, university autonomy has a
[00:04:54] the most pressing problems of fundamental function, which is to maintain the independence and self-thought
[00:04:57] of the university as... critical
[00:05:00] thought so as not to be subjected to fear, dread or
[00:05:03] terror, which is what this government is
[00:05:07] threatening us with, look, that has not ended well, every time the
[00:05:11] police enter a university, it ends with a death, it has not ended
[00:05:14] well, universities are a center of thought
[00:05:18] where people come out and express themselves, it is universities
[00:05:21] that have moved the world, they are the
[00:05:23] different, alternative thought, for that, the
[00:05:27] university built another logic of country, so
[00:05:30] it is true that there are acts that can cast
[00:05:34] doubt on the safety of many people, but painting a bus is not
[00:05:37] comparable to taking out a young man's eye
[00:05:40] and the best way to stop this is for there to be a good
[00:05:44] government that does not make young people protest, that is the best way to do it,
[00:05:48] there is no, the problem is not and the solution is not to bring in police, the
[00:05:51] solution will be a good government, it is not
[00:05:55] looking for young people to take to the streets to
[00:05:58] demonstrate, he is provoking it, he is a provocateur, an
[00:06:02] instigator and is the best solution, according
[00:06:05] to student and human rights organizations, under the excuse of
[00:06:09] security, surveillance and persecution of the student
[00:06:12] movement are hidden, this measure is clearly unconstitutional,
[00:06:15] since the Magna Carta, in consonance with the law of
[00:06:18] 1992, protects the university as a space for critical
[00:06:22] thought and plurality. Hernanda
[00:06:25] Arioto Bargaitán, Telesur, Bogotá,
[00:06:27] Colombia.
[00:06:32] And in some regions of Colombia, the El Niño phenomenon has generated
[00:06:35] water rationing in different departments and cities. For
[00:06:39] example, in Cali, there is a neighborhood where this situation has been going on for more than 30
[00:06:43] years, the story with our
[00:06:46] collaborator Milton Enao.
[00:07:09] area that looks down on Santiago de Cali. And these are the
[00:07:12] streets of the saints, one of the many sectors where the possibility of
[00:07:16] getting a little water is almost a miracle and where the rationing that
[00:07:20] is beginning to appear in some cities in the country is no longer a
[00:07:24] novelty, it is their daily life. The most paradoxical thing is that
[00:07:27] the sewage, cleaning, and of course water bills arrive without
[00:07:31] fail, although here there is almost always a lack of water, yes, here
[00:07:35] we have a larger community,
[00:07:38] they pay electricity bills, they have always paid for
[00:07:42] drinking water that does not arrive, sewage
[00:07:46] and property tax are paid here, we only exist to
[00:07:49] pay, but for the state we do not exist to come
[00:07:52] and look at the water problem we have, for more than 2
[00:07:56] years we have been fighting with in Cali, with the
[00:08:00] Haes, with the mayor's office that denied us
[00:08:03] water and we have proof that the mayor came out
[00:08:06] saying that he was going to give us water, that we are
[00:08:10] outside the coverage, that we...
[00:08:12] We are rural, that we are not on the map, given the lack
[00:08:16] of water and the large number of inhabitants in this sector of
[00:08:19] Cali, a motor pump to pump the liquid to the highest
[00:08:23] places and take turns to access this communal
[00:08:26] tap has become their daily struggle, they have even
[00:08:30] had to resort to other options such as bringing water through
[00:08:33] hoses from the top of the mountain, although this is not
[00:08:37] potable. The hose is from a ravine that is
[00:08:40] 2 km above the neighborhood.
[00:08:44] The water is brought from there, it is not drinking water, it is contaminated
[00:08:48] water since there are pigsties there, there are country houses with septic
[00:08:51] tanks, which drain into the
[00:08:54] ravines, so we have to meet the need with that water and
[00:08:58] pay 500 pesos per hour, for each one 5,
[00:09:01] per hour, if you want 4 hours it is 20,000 daily, the juggling here to
[00:09:05] obtain water has become a practice of almost 30 years,
[00:09:08] containers, cans, having to even add bleach.
[00:09:12] water or hypochlorite and
[00:09:16] comes out of the bathrooms, is part of a problem that has become
[00:09:19] a landscape for the authorities that should
[00:09:22] solve it, well, the water, we recycle it, we
[00:09:25] how do we reinvent it, uh-huh, because there is no
[00:09:29] water, I shower and collect this little hose
[00:09:32] like this and I put it there with the same water, I flush the toilet, they recycle the water,
[00:09:36] yes, I recycle the water, I reinvent myself well, many
[00:09:39] years ago we have been with the problem already Look, look, look at this,
[00:09:43] it is out of air. The Siloé neighborhood and its different
[00:09:48] hillside area, but only 15 minutes from neighborhoods of strata five and six
[00:09:51] that, as in almost everything, enjoy the privilege of having water
[00:09:55] throughout the day, which leads the inhabitants of this
[00:09:59] area to conclude that it is not a lack of water, but a lack of political will from the Colombian
[00:10:02] state to solve
[00:10:06] the community. Milton Enao, Telesur, Cali,
[00:10:10] Colombia.
[00:10:15] In Brazil, the economic coordinator of the campaign of Senator
[00:10:17] Flavio Bolsonaro for his presidential
[00:10:21] candidacy assured that the policies of Argentine President Javier
[00:10:24] Miley are a source of inspiration. The
[00:10:27] coordinator Daniela Márquez, when speaking about economic and administrative
[00:10:31] proposals during an event, affirmed
[00:10:34] being inspired by the reforms implemented by Javier Miley's government in Argentina.
[00:10:38] Márquez, who presided over the public bank
[00:10:42] Caixa Económica Federal during Jair Bolsonaro's government,
[00:10:46] also stated that if candidate Flavio Bolsonaro assumes
[00:10:49] the presidency, he will eliminate more than 1,000 regulations that, according
[00:10:52] to her, Lula's government created
[00:10:55] to increase taxes. Fiscal adjustment
[00:10:59] will focus on cutting privileges in the public machine and
[00:11:02] tax
[00:11:10] benefits. In Argentina, the poverty rate increases, reaching more than
[00:11:13] 30% in a year-on-year record, on average
[00:11:17] between March and August of this year. The data
[00:11:20] highlight a warning sign about the social situation and the
[00:11:24] purchasing power in Argentine households, which face
[00:11:27] low incomes and increases in the cost of
[00:11:30] living. 9.4 million
[00:11:34] represents a great deterioration and highlights inflation, low wages,
[00:11:38] and the loss of purchasing power. The figures
[00:11:41] known so far correspond to private estimates
[00:11:44] and processing. The definitive projections will be released
[00:11:48] on September 24, through the report of the
[00:11:52] National Institute of Statistics and Censuses.
[00:12:01] In the same vein, the Chamber of the Meat and Derivatives Industry and
[00:12:05] Commerce of the Argentine Republic reported that the domestic
[00:12:08] beef market fell 11.3%
[00:12:11] year-on-year during the first 8 months of the
[00:12:14] year, which reflected an increase in the prices of
[00:12:18] this food. This unprecedented collapse in domestic consumption is
[00:12:22] due to a combination of lower purchasing power in households,
[00:12:25] as well as the relative increase in the price of the product and a
[00:12:28] general decrease in
[00:12:30] productivity.
[00:12:39] Similarly, in Argentina, the housing access crisis
[00:12:42] hits the young population with greater severity under the current
[00:12:46] economic situation that the country is experiencing. According to the
[00:12:50] Federal Observatory of Housing Access,
[00:12:53] approximately 2. 5 million adults between
[00:12:57] 25 and 35 years of age cannot
[00:13:00] leave the family home due to lack of income and the
[00:13:04] unfavorable conditions of the Argentine real estate
[00:13:07] market. In addition, 46% of those
[00:13:10] who have not managed to become independent live in
[00:13:14] inadequate conditions such as deficient infrastructure
[00:13:17] and overcrowding, evidencing an unsatisfied
[00:13:20] demand of 500,000 homes. The lack of
[00:13:24] effective public policies by the government of President
[00:13:28] Javier Miley to address housing access, as
[00:13:31] well as the scarcity of accessible credit, perpetuate generational
[00:13:35] inequality, putting the future of new generations in Argentina at risk.
[00:13:49] Three weeks before the presidential elections in
[00:13:52] Brazil, President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva launched
[00:13:55] a large national mobilization in 26 of the
[00:13:59] 27 states with approximately 1120
[00:14:02] activities to support his re-election campaign. Thousands
[00:14:06] of supporters of President Lula da Silva marched in several cities
[00:14:10] in favor of his re-election. Through his social networks,
[00:14:14] Lula da Silva issued a message claiming his banners,
[00:14:18] national sovereignty, the fight against violence against
[00:14:21] women, comprehensive education, and the fight against organized
[00:14:25] crime. According to polls, the Brazilian president maintains a
[00:14:28] four-point lead over Flavio
[00:14:31] Bolsonaro, who faces investigations for corruption and
[00:14:34] money laundering linked to former banker Daniel
[00:14:38] Borcaro.
[00:14:45] With information from Brazil, we'll take a break, we'll be back with
[00:14:49] more.
[00:15:10] Our planet is full of natural paradises that
[00:15:13] beautify the environment
[00:15:16] and invite us to protect it from the threats that
[00:15:19] lurk,
[00:15:22] unknown wonders that await discovery.
[00:15:28] Join us to travel the world from a tourist
[00:15:31] perspective, let's move towards a
[00:15:34] new.
[00:15:37] Green destination every Wednesday,
[00:15:41] only on Telesur.
[00:16:02] Thank you for staying with us. Owning a home is a dream
[00:16:06] for anyone. In Mexico, the aim is to make this dream a reality for
[00:16:10] millions of families through the construction of social interest housing
[00:16:13] at affordable prices and in places
[00:16:17] where all services are available. Antonio Aranda
[00:16:20] gives us the details.
[00:16:24] Guadalupe is a young artisan, for years her family paid rent in the
[00:16:28] periphery of the capital, but with the recovery of social housing construction
[00:16:32] policies, she gained access to an apartment in a better
[00:16:35] area. To have an apartment
[00:16:37] here in the city center is really
[00:16:41] very satisfying,
[00:16:44] you don't earn as much, you don't spend
[00:16:47] as much on
[00:16:48] transportation, everything is closer,
[00:16:52] work, business,
[00:16:55] schools, these policies aim for
[00:16:58] families like Guadalupe's to acquire their own property at
[00:17:02] prices well below the speculative real estate
[00:17:05] market, as an... as an artisan, you don't have a
[00:17:09] fixed salary, it's something
[00:17:13] good because it's your own,
[00:17:16] it's no longer the need to pay
[00:17:19] rent, the cheapest here in the center is 10,000 to
[00:17:23] 15,000, the cheapest are
[00:17:26] far zones, they are 500, 7000,
[00:17:30] here, thank God, we pay
[00:17:32] 1800 a month, the
[00:17:36] welfare housing program meant achieving a goal that
[00:17:40] seemed unattainable in her maturity, she would not have
[00:17:43] achieved it, the time is shorter for
[00:17:47] me, I already have, I am already a senior citizen,
[00:17:51] so this uh, maybe young
[00:17:54] people can achieve that, but I wouldn't have been able to, these
[00:17:57] projects are what have given us
[00:18:00] the opportunity to achieve a dream of having a
[00:18:03] home, gentrification driven by the real
[00:18:06] estate market caused a 60 square meter
[00:18:09] apartment to currently sell for a minimum
[00:18:13] price of $290,
[00:18:15] in some areas of Mexico City, for this reason during the current
[00:18:19] six-year term, the federal government expects to build up to
[00:18:22] 1.8 million homes throughout the country at a maximum
[00:18:26] price of $36, each
[00:18:29] one, 12 million families will
[00:18:32] be benefited
[00:18:35] by the entire
[00:18:39] program and will represent
[00:18:42] approximately 1.2% of the annual GDP
[00:18:46] in investment. As a result of the Welfare Housing program, official
[00:18:50] data indicate that private construction companies have become
[00:18:53] interested in resuming the construction of social interest housing,
[00:18:56] increasing from 50,000 homes in 2025
[00:19:00] to an offer of 10,000 for 2026. Antonio Aranda
[00:19:04] Telesur, Mexico City.
[00:19:09] Diesel prices in the United States have exceeded
[00:19:12] $6 per gallon, reaching a historical
[00:19:15] high in September of this year 2026.
[00:19:19] The National Automobile Association highlighted
[00:19:22] statistics where diesel fuel reaches
[00:19:26] $6.23 on average, which reveals an
[00:19:29] increase of 68.3%
[00:19:32] since the beginning of this year, however, diesel in California
[00:19:36] rounds to
[00:19:39] $8.15 per gallon, followed by
[00:19:42] Washington at $7.22 and Hawaii at
[00:19:45] $6.93.
[00:19:47] The increase in fuel prices also means that transportation costs
[00:19:53] affects most of the
[00:19:55] population.
[00:20:04] Among those affected by the rise in fuel prices are
[00:20:08] farmers, we are talking of course about the United States, who
[00:20:11] face surcharges for rail transport of
[00:20:15] cereals. The adjustments represented 11%
[00:20:18] of the total transportation costs for shipping corn and
[00:20:22] soybeans, which directly impacts the profitability of the
[00:20:26] sector. The increase occurs at the worst time for farmers,
[00:20:29] as harvests are just beginning.
[00:20:32] comienza.
[00:20:43] This crisis also reaches the United Kingdom where a new
[00:20:47] record was set in gasoline and diesel prices, which implies a new
[00:20:50] problem for drivers. The
[00:20:53] increase reached $2.29 per
[00:20:56] liter of gasoline and diesel was set at
[00:20:59] $2.59 per liter. The increase was
[00:21:03] attributed to the ongoing war in West Asia, which has
[00:21:06] caused consequences for the global economy.
[00:21:32] Yemen confirmed the execution of a large-scale military operation
[00:21:35] against an air base in Saudi Arabia using dozens of
[00:21:39] ballistic missiles and drones. The spokesman for the
[00:21:42] Yemeni armed forces, Brigadier General Yahya Sare'e,
[00:21:46] assured that the operation targeted the radars,
[00:21:50] runways, and ammunition depots of the Reikalip
[00:21:54] air base. Sare'e detailed that Saudi Arabia
[00:21:57] launched 58 airstrikes against six
[00:22:00] provinces of Yemen in recent hours in response to the
[00:22:04] continuous aggressions in Yemeni territory. His
[00:22:07] army announced that it will carry out actions
[00:22:10] based on the equation of blockade for blockade, escalation
[00:22:14] for
[00:22:14] escalation.
[00:22:22] In this regard, Yemeni forces took control of the strategic
[00:22:25] area of Cabu in the south of the country after
[00:22:28] confronting and expelling Saudi-backed forces. Yemeni media
[00:22:32] highlighted that during the clashes, at least four
[00:22:35] leaders of the Saudi-backed forces
[00:22:38] died and five others were injured. These
[00:22:42] attacks have led to increased
[00:22:45] deterioration of the Riyadh-backed army.
[00:22:49] In addition to recording high numbers
[00:22:52] of losses within the Saudi
[00:22:54] troops.
[00:23:04] The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran affirmed that the agreement with
[00:23:08] Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz exclusively
[00:23:11] addresses the sovereignty of both
[00:23:14] countries. The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry,
[00:23:18] Saeed Baghaee, reported that the meeting
[00:23:20] scheduled in Oman was postponed at Saudi Arabia's
[00:23:23] request due to the events in Yemen. The Iranian spokesman also
[00:23:27] reiterated that there is no interference by the Persian Nation
[00:23:31] in Yemen's internal affairs, where he denounced that
[00:23:34] third parties take advantage of the situation and
[00:23:37] blame Tehran. The agreement between Iran and
[00:23:41] Oman seeks to delimit the shipping
[00:23:44] lanes in the Strait of Hormuz with the creation of an alternative
[00:23:47] maritime corridor to ensure
[00:23:51] free navigation and security in the region.
[00:24:06] Similarly, Nicaragua celebrates its national holidays with colorful
[00:24:09] school parades and massive public participation that
[00:24:13] also honors the heroic feat of the Battle of San Jacinto.
[00:24:16] We have the following report from our colleague Kenia.
[00:24:28] Under the motto homeland and freedom, homeland and
[00:24:31] dignity, students from all over the country are taking part in
[00:24:35] school parades in a day, in a whole
[00:24:38] celebration to honor national symbols and remember the
[00:24:42] heroic feat that occurred on September 14,
[00:24:47] the Battle of San Jacinto, a time when
[00:24:50] Nicaragua defended its sovereignty against the
[00:24:53] intervention attempts of the United
[00:24:54] States.
[00:25:04] I am proud to participate in these national holidays, as we
[00:25:07] recognize all the historical struggle that the heroes
[00:25:10] have made for our country to defend our sovereignty,
[00:25:13] to know our roots, where we
[00:25:16] come from, who were the ones who promoted the
[00:25:28] Cultural representations highlight the identity of
[00:25:31] Nicaraguans in this month that fills this Central American
[00:25:34] nation with national pride and dignity.
[00:25:38] We feel extremely proud because we are
[00:25:41] representing our homeland where we are also participating and giving
[00:25:45] honor to our country as good Nicaraguans that we are. What our
[00:25:48] heroes did then was valuable, because without them we would not
[00:25:52] be here, we would not be free as we are
[00:25:55] today, and that is why we have the duty
[00:25:58] and practically the obligation to always honor them and
[00:26:01] remember.
[00:26:06] In different parts of the territory, families
[00:26:09] accompany educational and cultural activities.
[00:26:13] The co-president of Nicaragua, comrade Rosario Murillo,
[00:26:16] conveyed the message to families in this national month.
[00:26:20] We celebrate our history, our
[00:26:23] bravery, our courage,
[00:26:27] our conviction and determination to
[00:26:31] be a country of peace.
[00:26:33] We have fought against all forms of war, a country of peace,
[00:26:37] of harmony, of affection, of family, of community, a
[00:26:41] Christian, socialist, and supportive country, and from
[00:26:45] everything that unites us in this blessed Nicaragua of love and
[00:26:48] peace, we embrace each other as Nicaraguan families,
[00:26:52] presidential families, who ask God for the best for
[00:26:56] our homeland, committed to doing
[00:26:59] our best as well.
[00:27:50] The struggle for the emancipation of Central America lasted for
[00:27:53] almost a decade, the process began with the first
[00:27:57] uprising in El Salvador on November 5,
[00:28:00] 1811 and culminated
[00:28:03] on September 15, 1821, when Guatemala,
[00:28:06] Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua
[00:28:10] signed the Act of Independence of Central America, the day
[00:28:14] that region broke away. officially their ties with
[00:28:17] the Spanish crown, September 15,
[00:28:20] 1821, Independence Day of
[00:28:24] Central America.
[00:28:35] In Costa Rica, while Central American independence was being
[00:28:38] celebrated, General Francisco Morazán was
[00:28:42] executed. His attempt to restore the Federal Republic of
[00:28:45] Central America made him a martyr of the
[00:28:49] integrationist ideal. His legacy lives on as
[00:28:54] the region. The greatness of a homeland is measured in the
[00:28:57] dignity and honor of its
[00:28:59] children.

[00:29:05] Morazán.
[00:29:11] And in expressing our recognition and our admiration
[00:29:15] to you today, and in recalling the great deeds
[00:29:18] and glorious victories, we also
[00:29:22] want to remember the thousands and thousands of heroic Vietnamese who
[00:29:25] have shed their blood and given their lives for the freedom of their
[00:29:29] homeland. Their effort has not been in vain.
[00:29:33] They have not been in vain. On the blood shed by them,
[00:29:36] Vietnam rises today, victorious and
[00:29:39] invincible. Eternal honor to the heroes who gave their
[00:29:42] lives for the homeland. Fidel Castro. September
