[00:00:03] Remember to follow us through our multiplatform and be part every
[00:00:06] day of the most relevant events, from Monday
[00:00:09] to Friday only on
[00:00:12] Telesur.
[00:01:23] how are you, Telesur News begins immediately,
[00:01:26] we review our headlines, I'm Aron Romero.
[00:01:35] to Abelardo de Cuba denounces increase in humanitarian effects of the energy
[00:01:37] blockade imposed by the United
[00:01:40] States.
[00:01:46] We now talk about Bolivia, the government of this country announced the decision to
[00:01:49] extend the state of emergency for another 90
[00:01:52] days.
[00:02:00] The climatic phenomenon of Super El Niño continues to strengthen and
[00:02:03] threatens the regions of Latin America and the Caribbean with heavy rains,
[00:02:07] droughts and heat waves.
[00:02:19] The Cuban government denounced that the energy blockade imposed by the
[00:02:23] United States has caused
[00:02:25] Pacific Ocean waters is devastating consequences for the population. The Minister
[00:02:29] of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez, pointed out that the
[00:02:32] threats, pressures and blackmail of international shipping companies
[00:02:36] by the United States have managed to limit and
[00:02:40] practically 90% of interrupt foreign trade with the largest of the Antilles. Foreign
[00:02:43] Minister Rodríguez condemned that around 7,000 containers
[00:02:47] remain detained in foreign
[00:02:50] constantly recycling what ports, despite the fact that these cargoes follow foreign
[00:02:53] trade regulations. The
[00:02:56] Mexican family tables. Foreign Minister affirmed that the majority of
[00:02:57] the legitimate exercise of shipping companies transport medicines, food and basic supplies, but
[00:03:00] Washington continues to prevent their arrival, which shows that the government seeks
[00:03:04] to impose a punishment on the people of Cuba.
[00:03:16] Owning a home is a dream for anyone. In Mexico, efforts are
[00:03:19] being made to make this dream a reality for
[00:03:22] sectors are located in a millions of families through the construction of social interest housing at affordable
[00:03:26] prices and in places where all services are available.
[00:03:34] Guadalupe is a young artisan, for years her family paid rent on the
[00:03:38] outskirts of the capital, but with the recovery of social housing construction
[00:03:42] policies, she gained access to an apartment in a better
[00:03:45] area, and having an apartment here in a
[00:03:49] central area is truly very
[00:03:52] satisfying, one no longer, we
[00:03:56] don't spend so much on transportation.
[00:04:01] Uh, everything is closer, work,
[00:04:04] business, schools, these
[00:04:07] policies aim for families like Guadalupe's
[00:04:10] to acquire their own property at prices well below the
[00:04:14] speculative real estate market, as
[00:04:17] an artisan one does not have a fixed salary,
[00:04:21] it's something good
[00:04:23] because it's yours now, it's no longer the
[00:04:27] need to pay rent, the cheapest here in the center is 1000 to
[00:04:31] 15, the
[00:04:34] cheapest in far areas is
[00:04:38] 500, 7000, here thank God we
[00:04:42] pay 1800 a
[00:04:44] month. For Lourdes, the welfare housing program
[00:04:48] meant achieving a goal that seemed unattainable in her
[00:04:52] maturity, she would not have achieved it, the
[00:04:55] time is shorter for me, I
[00:04:58] already have, I am already of the... third age, so
[00:05:01] this, uh, maybe young people can
[00:05:05] achieve that, but I would not have been able to, these projects are what
[00:05:08] have given us the opportunity to achieve a dream.
[00:05:12] of having housing. Gentrification, driven by the real
[00:05:16] estate market, caused a 60-square-meter apartment
[00:05:20] to currently be valued at a minimum price of
[00:05:24] $29,000 in some areas of Mexico City.
[00:05:28] For this reason, during the current six-year term, the federal government expects to
[00:05:31] build up to 1.8 million homes throughout the country
[00:05:35] at a maximum price of $36
[00:05:39] each. 12 million families will
[00:05:43] be benefited
[00:05:46] by the entire housing program in the six-year term and
[00:05:49] will represent close to
[00:05:52] 1.2% of the annual GDP
[00:05:56] in investment. As a result of the welfare housing program, official
[00:06:00] data indicates that private construction companies have
[00:06:03] become interested in resuming the construction of social housing,
[00:06:06] increasing from 50,000 homes in 2025
[00:06:11] to an offer of 100,000 for 2026. Antonio
[00:06:14] Aranda, Telesur, Mexico City.
[00:07:43] The Bolivian government announced its decision to extend the state of
[00:07:47] emergency for another 90 days and has the support of
[00:07:53] the four right-wing legislative forces that
[00:07:56] necessarily must authorize that extension. Our correspondent
[00:08:00] Freddy Morales
[00:08:02] tells us the details.
[00:08:06] The Minister of Government formalized the governmental decision to
[00:08:10] extend the state of emergency for another 90 days,
[00:08:13] implemented on June 20 to control popular protests and road
[00:08:17] blockades that lasted for 53
[00:08:20] days, we have to see what will be the
[00:08:23] procedure that will be followed in the legislative
[00:08:27] assembly for the extension of the state of
[00:08:31] emergency, I think there is a great citizen consensus
[00:08:34] also there is a great consensus in the same
[00:08:37] legislative assembly for this to happen, thank you very
[00:08:40] much, 90 more days.
[00:08:43] The government initiative found immediate support among right-wing
[00:08:46] parliamentarians who control both chambers with their
[00:08:50] majority. The deputies and senators have also suggested, they have
[00:08:54] raised why, because there are rumors that they want a
[00:08:57] black October, in short, there
[00:09:00] are, shall we say, political decisions that some want
[00:09:03] to hinder the government's management. For me, social peace is the first
[00:09:07] thing, Bolivians need
[00:09:10] peace, the and the La Paz residents, especially, who
[00:09:14] have suffered the ordeal of the 53 days,
[00:09:18] we need reinvestment. The
[00:09:20] Ombudsman's Office, which has concluded a public opinion study on the
[00:09:24] economic and social situation, warned that it is not a matter of maintaining the
[00:09:28] state of emergency, but of solving the immediate problems of the
[00:09:31] people. Beyond the extension or not of a
[00:09:35] state of emergency, the main issue is to
[00:09:39] solve the structural causes
[00:09:42] that motivate these levels of conflict, the
[00:09:46] dissatisfaction that the population has, there in the document
[00:09:49] you will be able to see that there are issues such as
[00:09:52] fuel, increased food prices, in short,
[00:09:56] different situations that bother the population and
[00:10:00] that persist, I repeat, beyond the extension of a
[00:10:03] state of emergency. The government has placed all its hopes
[00:10:07] on the legislature, which must approve an agreement with the International
[00:10:11] Monetary Fund.
[00:10:20] This is fundamental, end of price and export controls, a new legal
[00:10:23] framework for hydrocarbons and mining, more efficient
[00:10:27] and transparent public companies, less state as
[00:10:30] sole investor, more clear rules for investing
[00:10:34] from the private sector. The government
[00:10:36] is torn between hunger and the desire to eat, it needs to impose
[00:10:40] the International Monetary Fund's measures, which have a very high
[00:10:44] social cost, and hopes to achieve this with the extension
[00:10:47] of the state of emergency, but while that measure is
[00:10:50] in force, it cannot modify the political constitution of the state to comply
[00:11:05] with the Colombian government's decision to create a series of
[00:11:09] protocols so that the public force can enter universities
[00:11:12] also violates the principle of the keys to the
[00:11:16] autonomy of the campuses.
[00:11:20] the student community and also from the
[00:11:23] teaching staff. We have the following:
[00:11:44] public universities, it violates university autonomy, it violates fundamental rights and even overrides the
[00:11:48] constitution. Well, we believe that it is a clear
[00:11:51] scenario of political persecution. Many people
[00:11:55] who are currently part of Abelardo de laspreya's cabinet or who are close
[00:12:00] laspreya, particularly the one who at the time was representative of the
[00:12:03] 105th chamber of the Conservative Party, for example, makes an
[00:12:07] exercise of profiling students from left-wing media movements
[00:12:10] and in this profiling, we would consider
[00:12:14] that the underlying intention is not really, as
[00:12:17] discursively announced, to end terrorists, since we do not even
[00:12:21] agree on the existence of terrorists, but rather we believe
[00:12:24] that it is a clear movement to harm those
[00:12:27] who politically think differently from this fascist government, this
[00:12:31] far-right government, and it is a systematic way to eliminate
[00:12:35] us and to eliminate opposition, but urban
[00:12:37] terrorism, the current president
[00:12:41] issued this warning through a national address where he also
[00:12:44] maintained that university autonomy is not above
[00:12:47] public order. Universities have
[00:12:51] autonomy, that is not in discussion, but university
[00:12:55] autonomy does not mean autonomy
[00:12:58] in matters of public order, nor
[00:13:00] does it turn campuses into territories
[00:13:03] removed from the constitution,
[00:13:06] law or the legitimate authority of the
[00:13:09] state. That is why I have given clear instructions to
[00:13:13] establish a national protocol of
[00:13:16] action that allows distinguishing when we are facing
[00:13:22] protest and when there are acts of
[00:13:25] violence, flagrancy, danger or
[00:13:28] extraordinary alterations of public order that
[00:13:32] undoubtedly require the intervention of the
[00:13:35] authorities.
[00:13:38] According to the Truth Commission in Colombia, human rights violations
[00:13:42] committed by authorities against students exceed
[00:13:45] 230 cases between 1964 and
[00:13:48] 2011. These figures, which include murders, disappearances and
[00:13:52] torture, directly involve agents of the state,
[00:13:55] a clear reflection of the serious consequences that this type of
[00:13:59] determination can bring,
[00:14:01] threatening that the public force enters public universities
[00:14:05] because supposedly protocols are violated that no one, that are not
[00:14:08] part of the law, are protocols invented by him, another of
[00:14:12] his ways of governing dictatorially
[00:14:15] with decrees, well, that is nothing more than violating autonomy, university
[00:14:19] autonomy has a fundamental function and that is to
[00:14:22] maintain the independence and the
[00:14:25] university's own thinking as critical thinking
[00:14:28] so as not to be subjected to fear,
[00:14:32] dread or terror, which is what this government is
[00:14:35] threatening us with, but that has not ended well, every time the
[00:14:39] police enter a university it ends with a death, it has not ended
[00:14:43] well, universities are a center of thought
[00:14:46] where people go out and express themselves, it is the
[00:14:49] universities that have moved the world, they are the
[00:14:52] different, alternative thought, for that the
[00:14:55] university built another logic of country, so
[00:14:59] it is true that there are acts that can put in
[00:15:02] doubt the security of many people, but painting a bus
[00:15:05] is not compared to taking out a boy's eye,
[00:15:09] and the best way for this to stop is for there to be a good government,
[00:15:13] that does not make young people protest, that is the best way to do it, there is no,
[00:15:17] the problem is not and the solution is not to bring in police, the solution will be a good
[00:15:20] government, is not to violate rights, but what this is
[00:15:23] looking for is for young people to go out into the streets to demonstrate, he
[00:15:27] is provoking it, he is a provocateur, an
[00:15:30] inciter and he is the best solution, according to student
[00:15:34] organizations and human rights, under the excuse of
[00:15:37] security lies the surveillance and persecution of the student
[00:15:40] movement, this measure is clearly unconstitutional,
[00:15:44] since the Magna Carta, in consonance with the law of
[00:15:47] 1992, protects the university as a space for critical
[00:15:50] thought and plurality. Hernandario
[00:15:53] Bargaitán, Telesur, Bogotá,
[00:15:55] Colombia.
[00:16:00] In some regions of Colombia, the El Niño climate phenomenon has
[00:16:03] led to water rationing in different departments and
[00:16:07] cities. In Cali, there is a neighborhood where they have been
[00:16:10] in this situation for more than 30 years. Immediately, the
[00:16:14] story with our collaborator Milton
[00:16:16] Henao.
[00:16:20] area that looks down on Santiago de Cali, and these are the
[00:16:24] streets of the saints, one of the many sectors where the possibility of getting
[00:16:28] a little water is almost a miracle and where the rationing
[00:16:32] that is beginning to appear in some cities in the country is no longer
[00:16:36] a novelty, it is their daily life. The most paradoxical thing is that
[00:16:39] the bills for sewerage, cleaning and, of course, water, arrive without
[00:16:43] fail, although here there is almost always a lack of water, yes,
[00:16:46] here we have a larger amount of
[00:16:49] community, they pay electricity bills, they have always
[00:16:53] paid, drinking water that does not arrive,
[00:16:56] sewerage and property tax, they pay here, we
[00:17:00] only exist to pay, but for the state we
[00:17:02] do not exist to come and look at the problem we
[00:17:06] have with water. For more than 2 years we have been fighting
[00:17:09] in Cali, with the Haes, with the
[00:17:13] mayor's office that denied us water and we have proof that
[00:17:17] the mayor came out saying that he was going to
[00:17:20] give us water, that we are outside the coverage,
[00:17:23] that we are rural, that we are not on the map,
[00:17:27] due to the lack of water and the large number of inhabitants in this sector of
[00:17:31] Cali, a motor pump to pump the liquid to the highest
[00:17:34] places and take turns to access this
[00:17:37] communal tap has become their daily struggle, they have
[00:17:41] even had to resort to other options such as bringing water
[00:17:45] through hoses from the top of the mountain, although this is not
[00:17:49] potable. The hose comes from a stream that
[00:17:52] is 2 km above the Las Parcelas neighborhood,
[00:17:55] the water is brought from there, it is non-potable water, it is
[00:17:58] contaminated water since there are pig farms, there are
[00:18:02] country houses with septic tanks, which drain into the
[00:18:06] streams, so we have to satisfy the need with that water and
[00:18:09] pay 500 pesos per hour for each one, 500
[00:18:13] per hour, if you want 4 hours it's 20,000 daily, the juggling here to
[00:18:17] get water has become a practice of almost 30 years,
[00:18:20] containers, cans, having to even put bleach in
[00:18:24] water or hypochlorite and
[00:18:28] comes out of the bathrooms, is part of a problem that has become
[00:18:31] a landscape for the authorities that should
[00:18:34] solve it, because the water, well, we recycle it, we... how
[00:18:37] do we reinvent it, uh-huh, since there is no
[00:18:40] water, I bathe and collect it with this hose
[00:18:43] like this and pour it there, with the same water I flush the toilet, they recycle the water,
[00:18:47] yes, I recycle the water, I reinvent myself, well, many
[00:18:51] years ago we have had the problem, look, look, look,
[00:18:54] this is without air, the Siloé neighborhood and its different
[00:19:00] hillside area, but only 15 minutes from neighborhoods of strata five and
[00:19:03] six that, as in almost everywhere, enjoy the privilege of having
[00:19:07] water all day long, which leads the inhabitants of this
[00:19:10] area to conclude that it is not a lack of water, but a lack of political will of the
[00:19:14] Colombian state to solve the most pressing problems of the
[00:19:18] community. Milton Henao, Telesur, Cali,
[00:19:21] Colombia.
[00:19:25] Also in Brazil, the economic coordinator of Senator Flavio
[00:19:29] Bolsonaro's campaign for his presidential candidacy
[00:19:32] assured that the policies of Argentine President Javier Milei are a
[00:19:36] source of inspiration. The coordinator, Daniela
[00:19:39] Márquez, when speaking about economic and administrative
[00:19:43] proposals during an event, affirmed that she was inspired by the reforms
[00:19:46] implemented by Milei's government in Argentina. Márquez,
[00:19:50] who presided over the public bank Caixa Econômica Federal during the
[00:19:54] government of Jair Bolsonaro,
[00:19:57] also stated that if candidate Flavio Bolsonaro assumes the presidency,
[00:20:00] he will eliminate more than 100 regulations that, according to her, Lula's
[00:20:04] government created to increase taxes. The fiscal
[00:20:07] adjustment will focus on cutting privileges in the public
[00:20:11] machine and tax
[00:20:12] benefits.
[00:20:21] Meanwhile, in Argentina, the poverty rate is increasing, reaching more than
[00:20:24] 30% in a year-on-year record, on average
[00:20:28] between March and August of the current year. The data highlights a
[00:20:32] warning sign about the social situation and the purchasing power of
[00:20:35] Argentine households that face low incomes
[00:20:39] and increases in the cost of living. At least
[00:20:42] 9.4 million people live in poor households, which
[00:20:46] represents a great deterioration and highlights inflation,
[00:20:50] low wages and the loss of purchasing power. The figures known
[00:20:54] so far correspond to private estimates and
[00:20:57] processing, the final projections will be known
[00:21:00] on September 24 through the report of the National Institute of
[00:21:04] Statistics and Censuses.
[00:21:24] Oceanographic indicators detect climatic
[00:21:28] alterations never before recorded in Pacific Ocean
[00:21:31] waters, which triggers international
[00:21:34] prevention alarms. Precisely, analysis by the World
[00:21:37] Meteorological Organization reveals an irregular
[00:21:41] warming of the marine temperature that threatens to
[00:21:45] exceed by 2027 all the
[00:21:48] figures that are on record. They predict that next
[00:21:52] year will be the hottest in history with peaks of 1.8°C
[00:21:55] above pre-industrial levels.
[00:21:58] In this regard, the United Nations warned about
[00:22:02] threats to health, the alteration of agricultural
[00:22:05] cycles and the loss of production, which could
[00:22:08] trigger prices worldwide.
[00:22:11] mundial.
[00:22:18] Faced with these climatic effects, Argentina
[00:22:22] increased alarms given the 90% probability
[00:22:25] of extreme rainfall for the last months
[00:22:28] of the current year. Experts warn that the
[00:22:32] downpours will cause soil saturation, affect
[00:22:36] the urban drainage system and rural roads, which will
[00:22:39] hinder land access to storage plants and
[00:22:43] export ports. The national government approved the
[00:22:47] transfer of retained customs goods
[00:22:50] to the Federal Emergency Agency to pre-supply
[00:22:53] volunteer firefighters, rescue brigades and
[00:22:57] affected municipalities.
[00:22:59] The climatic phenomenon of Super
[00:23:06] El Niño also represents a direct and critical threat to fishing and
[00:23:10] food security in Mexico. The anomalous warming of
[00:23:15] drastically modifying marine conditions,
[00:23:19] impacting around
[00:23:22] 370,000 families who depend on artisanal
[00:23:25] fishing and the 2 million people who obtain
[00:23:28] sustenance through this sector. Specialists
[00:23:32] urged the state to strengthen resilient public policies
[00:23:36] and coordinate actions directly with the
[00:23:39] fishermen to avoid the shortage
[00:23:42] of fish and shellfish on
[00:23:46] The government of the Canary Islands in Spain
[00:23:55] declared an alert for the risk of forest fires in the western
[00:23:59] islands and part of Gran Canaria. The main
[00:24:03] concern of the authorities is that the fire reaches the bottom of the
[00:24:06] ravine and opens direct propagation routes towards the
[00:24:10] summit of the island or reaches the Caldera de los Marteles
[00:24:14] because they are being driven by the
[00:24:17] wind. In this regard, they urged residents
[00:24:21] to remain calm and close their doors and windows if the
[00:24:24] smoke moves towards their homes. This situation
[00:24:28] coincides with a critical day where the Canary Islands are
[00:24:31] under a yellow alert for high temperatures of up to
[00:24:35] 35°C and strong
[00:24:39] dust
[00:24:39] haze.
[00:24:50] In China, more than 31,000 people were evacuated
[00:24:54] in Hainan province due to the rains that have hit part of the
[00:24:57] island. The Ministry of Water Resources and the
[00:25:01] country's Meteorological Administration jointly issued a
[00:25:04] blue alert for flash floods in
[00:25:07] part of southeastern or southeastern Hainan,
[00:25:11] likewise, the authorities issued a yellow alert for the risk
[00:25:14] of geological disasters in certain areas.
[00:25:18] Rainfall exceeded 100 mm in
[00:25:22] 24 localities across six cities and
[00:25:25] districts.
[00:25:33] With this information, we bid farewell to Telesur Noticias, stay with us.
[00:29:05] In recent years, climate change, biodiversity
[00:29:08] loss and pollution have reached
