[00:01:14] Caribbean with heavy rains, droughts, and heat waves.
[00:01:28] In Syria, protesters blocked the international highway for the
[00:01:32] second consecutive day in protest against the increase
[00:01:35] in fuel prices, following the entry into force of a 40% increase
[00:01:39] in diesel and 28% in gasoline. The protests spread
[00:01:43] across eight provinces, being one of the largest waves
[00:01:47] of social discontent after the increase in the cost of living,
[00:01:51] food, and rents, which already reach
[00:01:54] $200. Meanwhile, Syrian authorities justify
[00:01:58] the measure, pointing out that
[00:02:00] the tariff adjustment responds to a temporary increase
[00:02:03] due to the global cost of fuels due
[00:02:07] to scarcity of refined products.
[00:02:18] We continue in the West Asian region
[00:02:20] immediately.
[00:02:25] at that, from the
[00:02:39] More than 720,000 Palestinian students are deprived of basic
[00:02:42] education after the destruction of schools and universities amidst the genocide
[00:02:46] perpetrated by Israel. The Minister of Education denounced
[00:02:50] that constant Israeli bombings destroyed the school
[00:02:53] infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, where more than 90% of schools
[00:02:56] and 82% of universities were
[00:03:00] reduced to rubble by the bombings of the occupation
[00:03:04] and maintaining dialogue, with the result forces. The Arab League for Education, Culture, and
[00:03:06] Science announced the activation of a regional emergency plan to protect
[00:03:10] affected children and
[00:03:11] youth.
[00:03:21] In Iran, a drone attack against
[00:03:23] and robotics in the floats, two fishing vessels near the southern coast left several
[00:03:26] fishermen missing. The attack occurred near the coast of
[00:03:30] the southern port of Kargan and the island of Del Arac,
[00:03:34] reported the vice-governor for political and security affairs of
[00:03:37] Hormozgan province, so
[00:03:40] search and rescue operations immediately began to locate
[00:03:44] the fishermen. Although no further
[00:03:48] you, scan the QR code to details were provided, authorities initiated investigations into
[00:03:51] this incident.
[00:04:00] The naval forces of Iran's Islamic Revolution reported that a tanker
[00:04:03] exploded after hitting naval mines near
[00:04:07] the Strait of Hormuz. Reports
[00:04:10] from the Iranian naval guard indicate that efforts to
[00:04:15] land and memory. contain the fire on the ship identified as the Gaya were in
[00:04:18] vain after it was engulfed in flames. They indicated
[00:04:22] that warnings were issued about the risks of using
[00:04:25] illegal routes to avoid Iranian controls in the
[00:04:28] strait. The waterway authority
[00:04:32] and derivatives industry and trade warned insurers and classification societies not
[00:04:36] to provide services to vessels on the list of infringing
[00:04:40] vessels.
[00:04:49] Iran reaffirmed its support for Lebanon's sovereignty in the face of
[00:04:54] province due to the rains Israeli aggression, while urging coordinated efforts to prevent a
[00:04:57] new escalation. The Iranian Foreign Ministry
[00:05:01] underlined the need to strengthen unity to curb
[00:05:04] Israel's attempts to open new military conflicts
[00:05:08] in Lebanon and the region. The statements come amidst
[00:05:12] the continuation of Israeli aggressions in residential
[00:05:15] areas of southern Lebanon, despite the announced
[00:05:18] ceasefire. The aggressions include artillery
[00:05:21] bombardments, air attacks, and drones, as well
[00:05:24] as the burning of crops, the demolition of homes, and the
[00:05:27] destruction of basic
[00:05:29] infrastructure.
[00:05:38] Indonesia deployed planes,
[00:05:41] the search for more than 120 missing persons after
[00:05:45] the sinking of a maritime ferry. The operation is
[00:05:49] taking place in waters off the island of Java, where
[00:05:53] more than 120 crew members of the ferry Virgo
[00:05:56] Transport 8 remain missing. The National
[00:06:00] Search and Rescue Agency confirmed the deaths of six
[00:06:03] people and the rescue of another 108
[00:06:06] survivors. The search continues in six sectors
[00:06:09] divided on the water's surface, with divers
[00:06:12] and unmanned submersibles in the remains of the
[00:06:15] vessel, which by the way, capsized with
[00:06:18] 243 occupants in the early morning
[00:06:23] from the city of
[00:06:24] Surabaya.
[00:06:34] China and France evaluated the state of bilateral relations.
[00:06:37] On this topic, we have details through our
[00:06:40] correspondent, Ángel Santa
[00:06:42] Cruz.
[00:06:45] Yes, greetings, colleagues. From Beijing, China's Minister of
[00:06:49] Foreign Affairs, Wang Yi, held a telephone
[00:06:52] conversation with France's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean
[00:06:56] Noël Barrot, at the latter's initiative, regarding bilateral relations and
[00:06:59] international issues to be discussed. During the
[00:07:02] conversations, the member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of
[00:07:06] China stated that under the strategic guidance of the two heads of
[00:07:09] state, relations between China and France have, generally
[00:07:13] speaking, had a stable development dynamic. In a complex
[00:07:16] and volatile international landscape, China and France, as
[00:07:19] permanent members of the UN Security Council, must
[00:07:23] strengthen strategic communication, jointly address
[00:07:26] risks and challenges, Wang Yi indicated.
[00:07:29] China actively supports France in fulfilling its
[00:07:32] responsibilities as rotating president of the UN Security Council
[00:07:36] this month and looks forward to the country's efforts to ensure
[00:07:40] that the Council plays its due role, he added. China
[00:07:43] and the European Union must remain committed to their partnership,
[00:07:47] seek mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation,
[00:07:50] Wang said. He also pointed out that China is one of the
[00:07:53] world's largest markets and that its development represents an
[00:07:57] opportunity rather than a challenge for the European Union. For his
[00:08:01] part, Barrot stated that in the year since French President
[00:08:04] Emmanuel Macron's visit to China, both countries have
[00:08:07] upheld the Dunhuang spirit of engagement and interaction
[00:08:11] and have sought common ground while respecting differences
[00:08:16] that bilateral relations have generally maintained their
[00:08:19] development momentum. Barrot also noted that France firmly
[00:08:23] adheres to the One China policy, and in the face of the difficulties
[00:08:27] and challenges facing economic and trade relations between the European
[00:08:30] Union and China, France is willing to promote constructive engagement
[00:08:33] between both parties to find solutions.
[00:08:37] Wang informed Barrot during the meeting about China's principled
[00:08:41] position and noted that Chinese President Xi Jinping
[00:08:44] has presented a four-point proposal to build a new security
[00:08:48] architecture in the Middle East, thus providing a global public
[00:08:51] good for regional peace and stability and playing a constructive role. For
[00:08:55] now, that's all the news. We return the signal to the central studios of
[00:08:58] Telesur in Caracas,
[00:09:00] Venezuela.
[00:09:03] We continue with more information. In the Netherlands, Europe,
[00:09:07] the death of a citizen at the hands of the police led
[00:09:10] people to hold a silent march
[00:09:13] in memory of the deceased in front of the Rotterdam police
[00:09:16] station. According to the police report, the events
[00:09:19] occurred after a report of a stolen bicycle,
[00:09:23] the same model on which the 51-year-old citizen named Juan
[00:09:26] Alfredo Golu was found, who, upon being arrested,
[00:09:30] did not present identification and ended up arrested,
[00:09:34] showing health complications, losing consciousness, and
[00:09:37] dying on the spot. Subsequently, the police
[00:09:40] declared that the bicycle the deceased was using was not
[00:09:44] stolen. For its part, the prosecutor's office ordered an
[00:09:46] investigation into the events to determine the guilt of the
[00:09:49] officers if they acted legally.
[00:09:53] and Lithuania destroyed a
[00:10:01] drone that entered its airspace without authorization.
[00:10:05] The device was heading west and crashed in a rural
[00:10:09] area in the center of the country. The National Crisis
[00:10:12] Management Center stated that NATO fighter
[00:10:16] jets were deployed, which neutralized the
[00:10:19] drone in the air. According to reports, 30 minutes passed
[00:10:23] between the initial alert
[00:10:25] and the elimination of the apparatus without revealing
[00:10:29] more details of what happened, although investigations
[00:10:32] were initiated to determine
[00:10:34] responsibilities.
[00:11:06] The most ingenious plays have been immortalized by great
[00:11:10] athletes. Enjoy every Saturday the events that have
[00:11:13] marked the history of football and baseball and their
[00:11:16] protagonists. In a space where the soccer ball and baseball
[00:11:20] converge. Goals at
[00:11:23] bat.
[00:11:28] Because Telesur always gives more.
[00:11:50] Oceanographic indicators detect
[00:11:53] climate alterations never before recorded in Pacific
[00:11:57] Ocean waters, which triggers international prevention alarms.
[00:12:00] Analysis by the World Meteorological Organization
[00:12:03] reveals an irregular warming of sea temperature that
[00:12:06] threatens to exceed by 2027 all figures recorded
[00:12:10] to date. They predict that next year will be the hottest in
[00:12:13] history with peaks of 1.8°C above pre-industrial
[00:12:16] levels. In this regard, the United Nations warned
[00:12:20] about threats to health and the alteration
[00:12:23] of agricultural cycles and loss of production,
[00:12:27] which could trigger global
[00:12:30] prices.
[00:12:49] Faced with these climatic events, Argentina raised
[00:12:52] alarms due to the 90% probability of extreme
[00:12:55] rainfall for the last months of
[00:12:58] 2026. Experts warn that the
[00:13:01] downpours will cause soil saturation, affect the urban
[00:13:05] drainage system and rural roads, which will
[00:13:09] hinder land access to storage plants and
[00:13:13] export ports. The national government approved the transfer
[00:13:16] of retained customs goods to the Federal Emergency
[00:13:20] Agency to anticipate supplies for firefighters,
[00:13:24] rescue brigades, and affected municipalities.
[00:13:27] The Super Niño phenomenon also
[00:13:37] represents a direct and critical threat to fishing and
[00:13:41] food security in Mexico. The anomalous warming
[00:13:44] of Pacific Ocean waters is drastically
[00:13:48] modifying marine conditions, impacting around
[00:13:51] 370,000 families who depend on coastal
[00:13:55] fishing and the 2 million people who earn a living
[00:13:58] through this sector. Specialists urge the Mexican
[00:14:01] state to strengthen resilient public policies and coordinate
[00:14:05] actions directly with fishermen to
[00:14:09] prevent the scarcity of fish and seafood
[00:14:11] on the tables of Mexican families.
[00:14:15] The Canary Islands government
[00:14:16] in Spain declared
[00:14:23] an alert for forest fire
[00:14:25] risks in the western islands and part of Gran
[00:14:28] Canaria. The main concern of the authorities
[00:14:32] is that the fire reaches the bottom of the ravine,
[00:14:35] creating direct propagation routes towards the island's
[00:14:39] summit, or reaches the caldera de los Marteles,
[00:14:43] because they are being driven by the wind. In this
[00:14:46] regard, they urged residents to remain calm and close
[00:14:50] their doors and windows if smoke drifts towards their
[00:14:53] homes. This situation coincides with a critical
[00:14:56] day where the Canary Islands are under a yellow
[00:14:59] warning for high temperatures of up to
[00:15:02] 35°C and strong
[00:15:05] haze.
[00:15:13] In China, more than 31 people were evacuated in Hainan
[00:15:19] that have lashed part of the island. The Ministry of Water
[00:15:23] Resources and the country's
[00:15:25] meteorological administration jointly issued a blue alert for
[00:15:28] sudden floods in parts of southeast Hainan.
[00:15:32] Authorities issued a yellow alert for the risk of geological
[00:15:36] disasters in certain areas. Rainfall
[00:15:39] exceeded 300 mm in 24 localities across six cities
[00:15:53] and districts. More than 500 municipalities in Colombia
[00:15:56] remain on maximum alert due to the worsening of the
[00:16:00] El Niño climate phenomenon. The Colombian government issued
[00:16:03] a national preventive alert after identifying 558
[00:16:06] municipalities at high and very high risk,
[00:16:10] according to forecasts regarding the Super Niño. The
[00:16:13] report from the Ministry of Housing, City, and Territory
[00:16:17] indicates that the Andean and Caribbean regions concentrate greater
[00:16:20] vulnerability to water scarcity and forest
[00:16:23] fires. Authorities warn that the drought could last
[00:16:27] until the first quarter of 2027, forcing the
[00:16:30] activation of emergency plans for aqueducts and basic
[00:16:34] sanitation systems.
[00:17:03] We celebrate 21 years of informative battle at Telesur. A step
[00:17:07] forward with Telesur Plus, our new
[00:17:11] web platform that allows journalists, correspondents, and
[00:17:14] editors to work in a network, a digital newsroom,
[00:17:17] and an informative distribution center where multimedia content
[00:17:21] is shared and downloaded, from reports and videos
[00:17:24] to photos and infographics, allowing us to connect the voices
[00:17:28] that others silence, amplify the reality of the global South,
[00:17:32] and put it at the service of our peoples, because telling the truth
[00:17:36] demands more than good journalism, it demands
[00:17:39] doing it in community. Telesur Plus, Telesur's new informative
[00:18:17] venture. We continue with more. In Brazil, the economic coordinator of Senator
[00:18:20] Flavio Bolsonaro's presidential campaign
[00:18:24] stated that the policies of Argentine President Javier
[00:18:27] Milei are a source of inspiration. The coordinator,
[00:18:30] Daniela Marquez, when speaking about economic
[00:18:33] and administrative proposals during an event, affirmed
[00:18:37] being inspired by the reforms implemented by Javier
[00:18:41] Milei's government in Argentina. Marquez, who presided over the
[00:18:44] public bank Caisha Económica Federal during Jair
[00:18:47] Bolsonaro's government, also stated that if candidate Flavio
[00:18:51] Bolsonaro assumes the presidency, he will eliminate more
[00:18:54] than 100 regulations that, according to her, Lula's government
[00:18:57] created to increase taxes. Fiscal adjustment
[00:19:00] will focus on cutting privileges in the public
[00:19:04] administration and tax benefits.
[00:19:13] Meanwhile, in Argentina, the poverty rate is increasing, reaching
[00:19:16] more than 30% year-on-year on average between March
[00:19:20] and August of this year. The data highlights a warning
[00:19:24] sign about the social situation and purchasing power in Argentine
[00:19:28] households that are facing low incomes and increases
[00:19:30] in the cost of living. 9.4 million people
[00:19:34] live in poor households, which represents a great deterioration
[00:19:37] and highlights inflation, low wages, as well as the
[00:19:41] loss of purchasing power. The figures known so
[00:19:44] far correspond to estimates and private
[00:19:48] processing. The definitive projections
[00:19:50] will be known on September 24th through the report
[00:19:54] of the National Institute of Statistics and
[00:19:57] Censuses.
[00:20:06] And precisely, the meat
[00:20:10] of the Argentine Republic reported that the domestic market for
[00:20:14] beef fell by 11.3% year-on-year in the first
[00:20:18] 8 months of the year, which reflected an increase in the
[00:20:21] prices of this food. This unprecedented drop in
[00:20:24] domestic consumption is due to the combination of lower
[00:20:28] purchasing power in households, a relative increase
[00:20:31] in the price of the product, and a general decrease
[00:20:34] in production.
[00:20:43] And precisely in Argentina, the housing access crisis severely
[00:20:47] affects the young population under the current economic
[00:20:50] situation the country is experiencing, according to the Federal Housing
[00:20:54] Access Observatory, approximately 2.5 million adults
[00:20:58] between 25 and 35 years of age cannot leave their
[00:21:02] family home due to lack of income and unfavorable
[00:21:06] conditions in the nation's real estate market. In addition,
[00:21:09] 46% of those who have not managed
[00:21:12] to become independent live in inadequate conditions
[00:21:15] such as deficient infrastructure or overcrowding, evidencing
[00:21:19] an unsatisfied demand of 500,000 homes.
[00:21:22] The lack of effective public policies by Milei's government
[00:21:26] to address housing access and the scarcity of affordable
[00:21:29] credit perpetuate generational inequality,
[00:21:32] putting the future of new generations at
[00:21:36] risk.
[00:21:44] Three weeks before the presidential elections in Brazil, President Luis
[00:21:48] Inácio Lula da Silva deployed a large national mobilization
[00:21:51] in 26 of the 27 states with approximately
[00:21:55] 1,120 activities in support of his
[00:21:58] campaign. Thousands of supporters of President Lula da
[00:22:02] Silva marched in several cities in favor of his re-election.
[00:22:05] Through his social networks, Lula da Silva sent a message
[00:22:08] advocating his banners: National sovereignty, fight against
[00:22:12] violence against women, comprehensive education, and
[00:22:16] combating organized crime. According to
[00:22:18] polls, the Brazilian president maintains a four-point
[00:22:22] lead over Flavio Bolsonaro, who faces
[00:22:25] investigations for corruption and money laundering
[00:22:27] linked to former banker Daniel Borcaro.
[00:22:43] The acting president of Venezuela, Delsi Rodríguez, congratulated
[00:22:47] Venezuelan athlete Jorge Otaiza on his victory
[00:22:50] in the Santa Fe 2026 South American Games. Through
[00:22:54] her account on the social network X, the acting president of Venezuela
[00:22:57] expressed the following: What pride, Venezuela! Congratulations
[00:23:01] to our young Jorge Otaiza, who won the
[00:23:04] gold medal in the 50-meter butterfly at the XIII South
[00:23:07] American Games Santa Fe 2026. Behind this
[00:23:10] victory there is discipline, effort,
[00:23:13] and many hours of training. Our tricolor
[00:23:16] shines again at the top of the
[00:23:20] podium.
[00:25:21] favor of the existence of a Palestinian state, and that
[00:25:25] it is, of course, free. This concludes Telesur
[00:25:29] News. Stay with us.
[00:25:50] In Costa Rica, while Central American independence
[00:25:53] was being celebrated, General Francisco Morazan
[00:25:56] was executed. His attempt to restore the Federal Republic
[00:26:00] of Central America made him a symbol of the
[00:26:03] integrationist ideal. His legacy lives on as a symbol
[00:26:07] of unity and justice in the region. "The greatness of a
[00:26:10] nation is measured by the dignity and honor of its children."

[00:26:26] And as we express our recognition and admiration
[00:26:30] for you today, for the great
[00:26:33] deeds and glorious victories, we also want
[00:26:36] to remember the thousands and thousands of heroic Vietnamese who
[00:26:40] have shed their blood and given their lives for the freedom of their
[00:26:44] homeland. Their effort has not been in vain, their
[00:26:48] sacrifices have not been useless. On the blood
[00:26:51] spilled by them, Vietnam rises today, victorious
[00:26:53] and invincible. Eternal honor to the heroes who gave
[00:26:57] their lives for their homeland. Fidel Castro, September
