[00:00:00] and in remembering the great deeds and glorious [00:00:04] incomes and increases in the cost of victories, we also want to remember the thousands and thousands of [00:00:07] heroic Vietnamese who have given their blood, given their lives [00:00:11] for the freedom of their homeland.

World [00:03:30] politics moves, we wonder what is behind each [00:03:33] event, what are the consequences and how do they [00:03:36] affect us? Faced with these questions, we will try to make our [00:03:44] global agenda. The bloc met point. only on [00:03:46] Telesur, the most ingenious plays have been [00:03:50] immortalized by great athletes, enjoy [00:03:54] and Development of the Russian every Saturday the moments that have marked the history of football and [00:03:57] baseball and their protagonists where the [00:04:00] ball and the bat converge: [00:04:03] goals at [00:04:04] bat, [00:04:09] because Telesur always gives more, [00:04:13] connect with the pulse of the world in real [00:04:15] time, [00:04:20] spaces where the context behind each [00:04:25] offers you, scan the headline is revealed.

[00:05:24] We begin another broadcast of Economic Impact, thank you for your company, my name is Daniel [00:05:28] Rosas and these are the headlines for [00:05:31] today. [00:05:34] In our world today, in Syria, protesters blocked the international [00:05:38] highway for the second consecutive day in protest against the increase in fuel [00:05:41] prices. [00:05:45] In our analysis section, we will review the development of the 18th [00:05:49] edition of the BRICS summit, which concluded in New Delhi with an agreement on [00:05:52] economic, technological, and [00:05:54] health [00:05:57] matters. And in our digital tour, the war against Iran threatens payment commitments of [00:06:01] at least $4 trillion from Arab countries to [00:06:13] As I mentioned earlier, in Syria, protesters blocked the international [00:06:17] highway for the second consecutive day in protest [00:06:19] against the increase in fuel prices, after the entry into [00:06:23] force of a 40% increase in diesel and a [00:06:26] 28% increase in gasoline. Protests spread across eight [00:06:30] provinces, representing one of the largest waves of social discontent [00:06:33] after the increase in the cost of living, food, and of course, rents, which [00:06:37] now reach $200. Meanwhile, Syrian authorities [00:06:41] justify the measure by stating that the tariff adjustment responds [00:06:44] to a temporary increase due to the global acquisition costs of [00:06:48] fuel due to a shortage of refined [00:06:50] products. [00:06:55] I will now tell you that multinational companies are expanding their [00:06:58] presence in China due to new opportunities in the services sector. This [00:07:02] is evident at the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) [00:07:06] 2026 held in Beijing between September 9 and [00:07:09] 13. Here are the details. [00:07:13] The event brought together 473 large [00:07:16] global companies, including Fortune Global [00:07:19] 500 companies, and industry leaders. One of [00:07:23] the central themes was technological [00:07:26] innovation, with about 40% of the cases [00:07:30] presented in the new area, Services in China, being [00:07:33] related to artificial intelligence, large-scale [00:07:37] models, and intelligent agents. This [00:07:40] trend has led international companies to strengthen their research [00:07:43] and development centers in the country, such as [00:07:46] Eli Lilly. Over the last decade, China's [00:07:50] innovation capacity has continued to improve. Eli Lilly [00:07:54] also considers China an important force in global [00:07:57] innovation. We have committed to investing [00:08:00] 3 million US dollars over the next [00:08:03] decade. The fair also opened a space for Chinese [00:08:07] companies looking to expand internationally. [00:08:10] Showing a shift in the country's role in global [00:08:14] trade, no longer just as an exporter of products, but [00:08:18] also of technology, capabilities, and business [00:08:21] ecosystems. By helping companies to [00:08:25] expand abroad, we have seen that Chinese companies [00:08:28] have gone beyond exporting products and [00:08:31] capital, now they export capabilities and ecosystems, [00:08:35] therefore it is not just about going out, but about [00:08:38] coming in, not just about going far, but about going well, that's why... [00:08:51] 2026-2030 also generates expectations among [00:08:54] investors, sectors such as telecommunications and health [00:08:58] are advancing in processes of greater openness, while [00:09:01] Australia and Norway identify new opportunities for [00:09:05] cooperation with China. In this way, SIFTIS [00:09:08] 2026 reflects the growing international interest in the [00:09:12] Chinese market and, at the same time, Beijing's commitment [00:09:15] to greater openness in services, [00:09:19] innovation, and international economic [00:09:21] cooperation. [00:09:25] I'll tell you now that Kamal Kishore, Special Representative of the UN for [00:09:28] Disaster Risk Reduction, visited Cuba to [00:09:31] learn about its risk management model, study climate crisis [00:09:34] mitigation, and review joint projects, accompanied by his [00:09:38] regional team. He visited the headquarters of the Civil Defense General Staff, where [00:09:42] the delegation was received by Division General Ramón Perdo Guerra and [00:09:46] his work team, addressing anticipatory actions against extreme [00:09:49] meteorological events such as drought. The visit highlights the [00:09:52] island's high exposure to hurricanes, droughts, floods, [00:09:56] and rising sea levels, which affects rural communities, people [00:10:00] with disabilities, and coastal areas, as well as the civil defense [00:10:03] culture developed by the country for more than half a [00:10:05] century. [00:10:11] And in Argentina, the poverty rate is increasing, reaching [00:10:14] over 30% in a year-on-year record, an average between March and [00:10:18] August of this 2026. The data highlights a warning [00:10:21] sign about the social situation and the purchasing power in Argentine [00:10:25] households, which face low [00:10:29] living. At least 9.4 million people live in poor [00:10:33] households, which represents a great deterioration and highlights [00:10:36] inflation, low wages and the loss of purchasing power. The [00:10:40] figures known so far correspond to private estimates and [00:10:43] processing. The final projections will be known next September [00:10:47] 24 with the report from the National Institute of Statistics and [00:10:50] Censuses. [00:10:56] I tell you now that the Mapuche and Williche communities of the Los Ríos region in Chile [00:11:00] denounced a violent police operation by investigation police early this [00:11:04] Monday, September 14. Members of the [00:11:07] Loff Casique Sebastián Long Cochino claim that [00:11:11] about 10 police vehicles broke into their homes, broke their [00:11:14] doors, held the residents and searched their mobile [00:11:17] phones. During the process, Carlos Carrasco was arrested, whose [00:11:21] defense denounces that no judicial order had been presented [00:11:25] nor information about the reasons for his arrest. The operation occurred amid [00:11:29] a territorial conflict with Forestal Arauco, an [00:11:32] Angelini group that requested the eviction of the [00:11:35] Pilpikawin 2 property, [00:11:39] occupied by the community since 2020. The communities [00:11:43] maintain that the territory has significant ancestral, spiritual and [00:11:46] cultural value. The request for eviction was rejected in July by [00:11:50] the Union Guarantee Court, but the company appealed and the [00:11:54] process continues, awaiting a new [00:11:56] hearing. [00:12:01] I'll tell you now that Ecuador's nightlife sector anticipates economic losses due to the [00:12:05] new curfew announced by the government from September 17 to 30 [00:12:08] in the provinces of Guayas, Manabí, Los Ríos, and El [00:12:12] Oro. Representatives of bars and discotheques warn that previous [00:12:15] restrictions had already led to 50% drops in their [00:12:19] income, affecting waiters, guards, and cooks without a fixed [00:12:22] salary. Although they do not oppose security, [00:12:25] they propose targeted measures. For his part, the Minister of the Interior, [00:12:29] John Reinberg, justified the measure for security reasons to intensify [00:12:32] operations against criminal structures, allowing only licensed [00:12:35] personnel to circulate. This is the second [00:12:39] restriction of this type this year, framed within the internal armed conflict [00:12:42] decreed by President Daniel Noboa, due to a persistent wave of [00:12:46] violence that has accumulated thousands of homicides and generated international [00:12:49] alerts due to the deterioration of democratic guarantees. [00:12:52] democráticas. [00:12:58] We take a break. When we return, as part of our analysis section, we will review the [00:13:01] development of the 18th edition of the BRICS summit, which concluded in New [00:13:04] Delhi with agreements. I'll tell you about them when we return. [00:13:53] As every year, the headquarters of the United Nations welcomes world leaders [00:13:57] in its high-level week amidst the international debate on the [00:14:01] transformation of multilateral organizations so that they [00:14:04] act in favor of the majorities who clamor for equity in decision- [00:14:07] making and truly influence respect for the self-determination [00:14:11] of peoples and international law. Telesur provides [00:14:14] special coverage of this important event with our special [00:14:18] envoy, Jorge Gestoso, and our [00:14:20] correspondents in the United States, José Leveña and Henry. [00:14:26] first session of the General Assembly of the United Nations [00:14:30] 2026 through our [00:14:32] multiplatform, only on [00:14:35] Telesur.

[00:15:37] Colleagues have already pointed out that the BRICS are, in effect, the [00:15:40] largest association in the world today. It has also been said that [00:15:44] we represent a third of the world's land surface, we produce [00:15:48] 40% of global GDP and almost half of the world's [00:15:51] population lives in our [00:15:52] countries. [00:15:58] The 18th edition of the BRICS summit concluded in New Delhi with a [00:16:02] result that transcends the photograph of its leaders, the joint [00:16:06] declaration that seeks to reinforce economic cooperation at a time marked by wars, [00:16:09] tariffs and the growing fragmentation of world trade. [00:16:13] Let's see the details in the following [00:16:14] material. [00:16:18] Over two days, the BRICS adopted the [00:16:21] New Delhi Declaration, a 140-point document [00:16:25] that reaffirms the group as a coordination platform for the [00:16:29] Global South and advocates for a more representative [00:16:33] international governance. In the economic sphere, the [00:16:36] leaders expressed concern about unilateral [00:16:40] tariff and non-tariff measures, [00:16:42] called for preserving a multilateral trading [00:16:45] system based on the WTO, and supported [00:16:49] greater participation of developing countries in the [00:16:52] IMF and the World Bank. [00:16:55] They also supported greater [00:16:58] use of national currencies and the development [00:17:02] of more efficient cross-border payment [00:17:04] systems. BRICS for. [00:17:09] For us, BRICS is an extremely important economic platform, and [00:17:12] it is essential to increase trade volume and use local [00:17:16] currencies in transactions to boost trade among BRICS [00:17:19] countries, and of course, we have a development bank that imposes [00:17:23] no conditions, which is extremely important. Therefore, we will continue [00:17:27] our efforts to strengthen cooperation among BRICS members [00:17:30] and also avoid using BRICS as a tool within the current [00:17:34] polarization of the global system. This is crucial. [00:17:41] The summit paid special attention to energy, [00:17:45] critical minerals, food security, [00:17:48] development in different areas, digital [00:17:51] transformation and artificial intelligence. Members [00:17:55] proposed strengthening stable and diversified energy [00:17:58] markets and advancing towards more [00:18:01] resilient supply chains, while the [00:18:04] new development bank was presented as a [00:18:08] tool to expand development financing and mobilize [00:18:11] capital towards sustainable infrastructure. [00:18:14] India also advocated for converting the bloc's [00:18:18] commitments into verifiable results and [00:18:22] announced an early warning system for infectious [00:18:25] diseases. [00:18:29] We already have active collaboration within BRICS, I spoke about the BRICS [00:18:33] incubator network which is linked to innovation. We are [00:18:36] talking about the BRICS emerging enterprise innovation fund, these are [00:18:40] very important results within our presidency in terms of innovation [00:18:44] and we would like to continue collaboration with China and other BRICS nations [00:18:48] in the future. [00:18:50] One of the most relevant political and economic [00:18:53] moments was the participation of Xi Jinping, [00:18:57] the Chinese president traveled to India for the first time in [00:19:01] 7 years and met with [00:19:04] the summit in an attempt to consolidate bilateral [00:19:08] extension, expand trade and transport [00:19:11] links, he also highlighted the importance of [00:19:14] growing the member [00:19:16] countries. [00:19:20] Looking ahead, BRICS countries have an important task to fulfill, [00:19:24] which is to grow our economies and strengthen [00:19:27] cooperation. We must build on past successes, chart the [00:19:31] course for future cooperation and embark on a new path to [00:19:34] jointly usher in the second decade of cooperation. [00:19:38] Trade between both countries reached [00:19:41] a record of 155.6 billion [00:19:45] dollars in 2025. BRICS represents [00:19:48] 40% of the world's economy, and has also [00:19:52] advocated for dialogue and diplomacy in the face of growing [00:19:54] international tensions. The agreements [00:19:58] reached at this meeting will be transformed into [00:20:01] actions, with defined deadlines and tangible [00:20:04] objectives. [00:20:10] We now review the new alliances in technology, finance, and sustainable [00:20:13] development proposed in the final [00:20:16] declaration. [00:20:19] Among the resolutions adopted, [00:20:22] the implementation of the Integrated Early Warning System for the [00:20:25] prevention of infectious diseases and the formulation [00:20:29] of common guidelines, such as disaster [00:20:32] management, stand out. [00:20:34] Likewise, the activation of the BRICS Connect platform [00:20:38] was agreed upon, aimed at labor training and social [00:20:42] protection, the creation of the BRICS Urban Mobility [00:20:45] Forum, and the launch of a joint [00:20:49] portal for cooperation among small and medium-sized [00:20:53] enterprises. In the technological, environmental, and energy [00:20:56] fields, the bloc focused on the establishment of [00:21:00] the Digital Competence Center on Smart Grids [00:21:03] and the implementation of the Digital Agriculture Network, [00:21:07] in addition to the formal incorporation of indigenous [00:21:11] knowledge into climate adaptation [00:21:14] plans. In turn, the creation of the [00:21:18] first open-access zone for artificial [00:21:21] intelligence technologies under a shared [00:21:24] model, as opposed to traditional proprietary [00:21:28] schemes, was supported. [00:21:31] of the alliance for the training of engineers and scientific [00:21:35] exchange programs to advance towards an integrated [00:21:38] smart production market. In the economic, [00:21:42] commercial and financial [00:21:47] to protect the group's trade flows from [00:21:50] unilateral sanctions, including [00:21:53] the proposal of a multilateral reinsurance mechanism for [00:21:56] maritime transport and guarantees for grain [00:22:00] supply. Similarly, the development of a [00:22:04] financial platform backed by digital [00:22:07] assets was projected to leverage investments [00:22:11] through the new development bank. [00:22:13] desarrollo. [00:22:18] This also served as a stage to denounce the intensification [00:22:21] of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade, the energy siege, [00:22:25] and the secondary sanctions imposed by the United States government against [00:22:28] Cuba. We hear from the Foreign Minister of the Greater Antilles, Bruno [00:22:31] Rodríguez. [00:22:34] An alternative financial system to advance towards a process [00:22:38] of de-dollarization of the international [00:22:40] economy. [00:22:44] The use of national currencies has been a BRICS proposal of utmost importance [00:22:48] to alleviate the imbalances of the current monetary [00:22:51] system. [00:22:54] The new BRICS Development Bank must increasingly [00:22:57] consolidate itself as an alternative for our [00:23:03] financial resources on more favorable [00:23:06] terms. [00:23:08] The structural problems faced by our economies are the result [00:23:12] of colonialism, as well as neoliberalism and [00:23:16] imperialism. The fall in exports, [00:23:20] volatility of raw material prices, the decrease in foreign direct [00:23:23] investment, an external debt already paid several times over, and [00:23:27] capital flight seriously hinder [00:23:30] our development. [00:23:33] In the same vein, BRICS and Iran support the rejection of [00:23:36] unilateral sanctions and also support Cuba. We pray to God to help [00:23:40] us thwart the evil intentions that the United States seeks [00:23:43] to achieve in the region and in the world and that this country cannot [00:23:47] achieve its colonial and exploitative objectives. The use of force against [00:23:51] different peoples, this was expressed by the President of Iran regarding [00:23:54] Washington's pressure on Cuba and other nations on the [00:23:58] planet. In the final declaration of the BRICS Summit, the Iranian [00:24:01] head of state demanded respect for the sovereignty of Western Asian [00:24:05] nations and moderation, while condemning attacks on [00:24:08] nuclear facilities and civilian infrastructure. [00:24:12] In addition, he indicated that the bloc members agreed not to accept [00:24:16] unilateral sanctions and coercive actions against states. [00:24:24] A milestone to highlight for the close of this day is the BRICS bloc's ability [00:24:28] to coordinate, which is consolidating itself as a determining factor in the [00:24:34] 84% of the agreements at the Rio de [00:24:37] Janeiro summit in 2025, according to a study by the [00:24:40] Research Center on International Cooperation [00:24:44] Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. [00:24:48] Meanwhile, a high level of effectiveness [00:24:50] was recorded in the environmental agenda, where the climate change fighting goals [00:24:53] reached a full 100% [00:24:57] compliance. [00:25:04] Break, we return with the digital tour, we will talk about the war against Iran that threatens [00:25:08] payment commitments of at least 4 trillion dollars from Arab countries to [00:25:12] the United States. Don't [00:25:13] go. [00:26:00] We are back with Economic Impact, the digital tour. We start this segment with ISPAN [00:26:04] TV, which informs us about current events in West Asia with the following [00:26:08] headline: War against Iran threatens payment commitments of $4 [00:26:11] trillion from Arab countries to the United States. A new [00:26:15] report from the Peterson Institute for International [00:26:18] Economics indicated that the fiscal pressure caused by the illegal aggression of [00:26:22] the United States and Israel against Iran may lead Saudi Arabia, [00:26:25] Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to prioritize domestic spending over the [00:26:29] almost $4 trillion in economic commitments with the United [00:26:33] States.
