[00:00:00] September 1973,
[00:00:02] speech given at the meeting with members of the National Liberation Front of
[00:00:06] South Vietnam, held at Hill 241,
[00:00:09] South
[00:00:10] Vietnam.
[00:00:17] As every year, the United Nations headquarters welcomes world
[00:00:21] leaders during its high-level week, amidst the international debate on the
[00:00:25] transformation of multilateral organizations to act
[00:00:29] in favor of the majorities who clamor for equity in decision-making
[00:00:31] and have a real impact on respect for the
[00:00:35] self-determination of peoples and international law. Telesur
[00:00:38] is providing special coverage of this important event with our special
[00:00:42] envoy Jorge Gestoso and our
[00:00:46] Venezuelan people, and what correspondents in the United States, José Leveña and Henry
[00:00:49] Camelo. First session of the United
[00:00:52] Nations General Assembly
[00:01:04] development, because if we are going to
[00:01:21] scarce here in
[00:02:13] Trump. She also rejected
[00:03:07] question: the Yemenis, that is, the
[00:03:10] inhabitants of Yemen, or Yemen, in response
[00:03:13] to Saudi Arabian bombings, stop
[00:03:16] Saudi oil exports
[00:03:26] Asia the world is reorienting.
[00:03:30] Number two, that the United States and Saudi Arabia show
[00:03:33] weakness before Iran and Yemen, number
[00:03:36] three, that the resistance of Iran and Yemen give hope
[00:03:40] to besieged peoples, and the fourth is that imperialism and
[00:04:11] out an attack in response to the most
[00:04:14] recent bombings carried out by Saudi Arabia and as a result
[00:04:18] Riyadh, that is, Saudi Arabia, suspended oil
[00:04:21] exports to Europe, imagine that. International media
[00:04:25] reported that Saudi Arabia could also cancel
[00:04:29] crude shipments to European countries scheduled for the month of
[00:04:32] October, due to the increasing tensions in the
[00:04:35] region. Now, some analysts assure that such
[00:04:39] cancellations could leave diverse consequences in the energy
[00:04:43] calm of these hurricanes. According to market, such as a sharp increase in oil
[00:04:46] prices and the expansion of risks in crude
[00:04:50] transport routes. For its part, Yemeni
[00:04:53] forces assure that their operations aim to
[00:04:57] stop the aggression and siege against Yemen. While
[00:05:00] it is increasingly evident that the
[00:05:03] rights. They have also spoken out against actions of Riyadh, of Saudi Arabia, continue
[00:05:05] to affect
[00:05:07] international trade.
[00:05:29] Now, a developing topic has to do with Central America. You can see that the
[00:05:32] mobilization for Independence Day in
[00:05:35] Honduras ended with a people expressing
[00:05:38] rejection of the current and illegitimate administration
[00:05:42] of President Nasir Rías Fura. Our correspondent
[00:05:45] Karim Duarte from Tegucigalpa tells us why this is happening
[00:05:56] Tegucigalpa Honduras. The mobilization
[00:05:59] of the people in resistance has ended,
[00:06:02] after they walked about 3-4
[00:06:05] km with slogans and also with
[00:06:08] banners, rejecting the illegitimate administration
[00:06:12] of Rías Fura, whom they consider a governor
[00:06:15] of the United States, specifically of Donald
[00:06:18] Trump. They spoke out against the rise in
[00:06:21] fuel prices, against the
[00:06:24] privatization of the state electricity company, the same intention to
[00:06:28] privatize water, this vital liquid that is
[00:06:33] the capital, very important because different organizations
[00:06:37] were also present, socialist
[00:06:40] women, the "necios", the
[00:06:44] Communist Party of Honduras, among other organizations, in addition to the
[00:06:48] Liberty and Refoundation Party, which
[00:06:51] accompanied the entire mobilization, led by
[00:06:54] political leader Rixy
[00:06:58] Moncada, who spoke and assured that she was
[00:07:01] present with her integrity to lead
[00:07:04] Honduras and above all to pull it out of where it
[00:07:08] is submerged. She also rejected the
[00:07:11] interference of the United States through Donald Trump,
[00:07:14] mentioned the case of Cerimedo, mentioned the case
[00:07:18] of Epstein and other emblematic cases that
[00:07:21] embrace the administration of Donald
[00:07:26] the pardon of drug trafficker Juan
[00:07:29] Orlando Hernández. The Honduran people were present
[00:07:32] in this sector as it has been historically
[00:07:35] since the birth of the Honduran popular
[00:07:39] resistance. At the same time, a
[00:07:42] supposed national independence is being
[00:07:45] celebrated, 205 years of foreign
[00:07:49] interference. Also,
[00:07:51] student centers paraded,
[00:07:55] who did so under pressure and in a single color,
[00:07:58] that is, blue and white. Anyone who deviated
[00:08:02] from these standards could have problems with
[00:08:06] Honduran justice, which it is very
[00:08:08] important to mention has failed in the emblematic
[00:08:22] Central America, except Panama, have a
[00:08:26] unification linked to the independence date. Note that in El
[00:08:30] Salvador, popular sectors marched through the capital's
[00:08:33] streets to reject the governmental policies of the
[00:08:36] national executive amidst the mobilizations for the
[00:08:40] country's
[00:08:53] marched this September 15th through the streets of San
[00:08:56] Salvador. A mobilization that takes
[00:09:00] place simultaneously with the commemoration of
[00:09:03] 205 years of the so-called Central American
[00:09:06] independence. But for the popular sectors of this Central
[00:09:09] American country, they say that there is no
[00:09:13] independence to celebrate here. In fact, they have questioned the
[00:09:16] government about the policies that, according to these
[00:09:20] organizations, are affecting the poorest.
[00:09:22] The bourgeois homeland commemorates,
[00:09:26] celebrates 205 years since the signing of independence,
[00:09:29] however, the labor and union sectors continue
[00:09:33] to ask ourselves: what independence? Since for more
[00:09:37] than two centuries, governments have been submitting to the
[00:09:40] dictates of imperialist powers.
[00:09:42] And currently we have a Bukele government that submits to the
[00:09:46] dictates of Donald Trump's policy, a policy
[00:09:50] that strikes the peoples of Latin America. Furthermore,
[00:09:53] it is a government that implements new forms of
[00:09:56] slavery, violates sovereignty, democracy,
[00:09:59] has been applying the state of exception for more than
[00:10:03] 54 months and has the luxury of trampling the
[00:10:06] constitution, trampling human rights, trampling labor
[00:10:10] rights, trampling union
[00:10:15] metallic mining, have called for the release of
[00:10:19] political prisoners and have also called for the
[00:10:23] state of exception to be repealed because they say:
[00:10:25] that it is one of the instruments that is sending many
[00:10:39] Salvador, let's go now to Guatemala, which as we said
[00:10:42] shares the independence date, commemorating 205 years
[00:10:45] of this historic event through student
[00:10:49] civic parades that traverse the historic center in the
[00:10:52] capital city. The parade stands out
[00:10:55] with flags, colors and trumpets sounding to the rhythm of the
[00:10:59] march, with the participation of around 126
[00:11:02] institutions, including fire departments, educational
[00:11:06] centers and police authorities. The patriotic parade
[00:11:09] was held to celebrate national independence
[00:11:13] and unites all sectors to highlight the historical event that
[00:11:16] charted the political course of this region and a good part of
[00:11:20] Central America.
[00:11:50] that we have the brilliant planet Venus and the Moon that
[00:11:54] star in a spectacular conjunction in the
[00:11:57] night sky of Harbin in Heilongjiang
[00:12:00] province. The impressive images captured during
[00:12:04] twilight show the perfect astronomical
[00:12:07] alignment that captivated observers in this region
[00:12:53] there are some
[00:12:56] Indian ducks that are revolutionizing sustainable agriculture, a brigade of
[00:13:00] more than 100 ducks perform daily patrols in South
[00:13:03] African vineyards to devour snails and
[00:13:06] slugs, completely replacing the use of chemical
[00:14:49] Well, immediately we are going to connect again with the acting president of the Bolivarian
[00:14:53] Republic of Venezuela. Delcy Rodríguez and we are going to listen to what they are
[00:14:56] talking about and hoping that this can serve as an
[00:14:59] important input for the elaboration of the resilient
[00:15:03] recovery framework based on
[00:15:06] evidence and that allows connecting those priorities that
[00:15:10] the government establishes with
[00:15:13] financing needs and governance mechanisms that allow
[00:15:17] articulating the different actors based on the
[00:15:20] added value that each one can give in this reconstruction
[00:15:24] effort. Venezuela and perhaps the main message
[00:15:27] behind this effort is that Venezuela is not
[00:15:30] alone, the UN system is accompanying it at
[00:15:34] this moment and UNDP eh from the field.
[00:15:37] From the initial day accompanying those national
[00:15:40] development priorities to rebuild and not only
[00:15:44] rebuild but rebuild better, thank you for the
[00:15:47] trust, in this way it has been
[00:15:51] delivered, well yes, we are listening then to Michelle Bachelet who is
[00:15:55] the head, director of the United Nations Development
[00:15:59] Programme for Latin America and the Caribbean, who is meeting with President
[00:16:03] Delcy Rodríguez, who is speaking at this moment about this
[00:16:07] post-earthquake resilient recovery
[00:16:09] plan. I want to thank the United
[00:16:13] Nations system, its coordinator, the UNDP representative in
[00:16:16] Venezuela, because all the United Nations agencies were
[00:16:20] activated to collaborate with the
[00:16:24] we have completed is very relevant, it has been a
[00:16:27] work of practically 2 months, because from the
[00:16:31] first moment they were activated and I
[00:16:35] remember when I spoke with the director. The first thing I
[00:16:38] told him was, we want a plan for
[00:16:42] recover, we want to recover better,
[00:16:45] if we are going to rebuild, we want to rebuild better, and not
[00:16:49] only the infrastructure,
[00:16:51] but also what has to do with the human part,
[00:16:54] Michelle, human development, and that plan
[00:16:58] that was worked on with all the cabinets of the national
[00:17:02] government, economic cabinet, social cabinet,
[00:17:05] services, foreign ministry, and the team of all the
[00:17:08] agencies, plus the World
[00:17:11] Bank, the CF, the Inter-American Bank, the
[00:17:15] European Union, we joined forces to have a
[00:17:18] single plan where the real diagnosis
[00:17:22] of Venezuela's needs due to the earthquake
[00:17:25] is. So with this plan that marks a
[00:17:29] course, a compass already even
[00:17:32] at the detail level of the costs
[00:17:35] of what is required for post-earthquake
[00:17:39] recovery, we now have to
[00:17:42] work and we will continue working together.
[00:17:45] I thank the United Nations
[00:17:48] system for this joint
[00:17:51] effort that we have carried out and that the
[00:17:54] Venezuelan people will feel, the Venezuelan people will
[00:17:58] see the fruit of this plan and I know that the
[00:18:02] Venezuelan people will welcome all the actions contemplated
[00:18:05] here, to improve
[00:18:08] infrastructure, to improve employment, to improve
[00:18:11] education, which as a whole will
[00:18:14] allow us the human development that the people of
[00:18:18] Venezuela deserve, thank you, United Nations system, these have been the
[00:18:22] words of the president of the yes, in this case Delcy
[00:18:25] Rodríguez, the acting president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, meeting with Michelle
[00:18:29] Muchet of
[00:18:32] Nations Development Programme for Latin America.
[00:18:35] Caribbean along with Álvaro
[00:18:39] Rodríguez, on behalf of the UN also in Venezuela, they were there in
[00:18:43] the presidential palace of Miraflores, well exchanging ideas about how the
[00:18:46] coordination between these two institutions, the Bolivarian
[00:19:17] Western Asia the world is reorienting,
[00:19:20] number two, the United States and Saudi Arabia show weakness
[00:19:24] before Iran and Yemen. Number three, the resistance of Iran and
[00:19:28] Yemen gives hope to besieged peoples, and
[00:19:32] number four is that imperialism
[00:19:54] Well, the El Niño phenomenon stopped hurricane activity
[00:19:57] in the Atlantic Ocean during the 2026
[00:20:01] season. The current hurricane season in the Atlantic
[00:20:04] Ocean is experiencing an unusual
[00:20:08] calm, and this unusual calm is due to, well, it
[00:20:12] has no record in any history
[00:20:15] of this type of storms, representing a historical record, the
[00:20:20] the analysis of specialists, the phenomenon generates strong
[00:20:23] winds in the upper atmosphere that cut and
[00:20:27] destroy storms before they grow, while the
[00:20:30] atmosphere presents dry air, preventing the
[00:20:33] organization of tropical systems. According to
[00:20:36] experts, December is the peak of the hurricane season
[00:20:40] and on average during this month two
[00:20:43] to three storms form, however, the first hurricane is already
[00:20:47] more than a month late and there are no
[00:20:51] indications that any will form in the coming week due to this El Niño phenomenon.
[00:21:04] Now, oceanographic indicators detect climatic
[00:21:07] alterations never before recorded in Pacific
[00:21:11] Ocean waters, which triggers international prevention
[00:21:15] alarms. Analysis by the World Meteorological Organization
[00:21:18] reveal an irregular warming of the sea
[00:21:21] temperature that threatens to surpass by
[00:21:24] 2027 all figures since the first
[00:21:27] record was taken. They predict that next
[00:21:30] year will be the hottest in history with peaks of
[00:21:33] 1.8 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial
[00:21:36] levels and in this regard the United Nations warned
[00:21:39] about threats to health and alteration of agricultural
[00:21:43] cycles and loss of production, which could
[00:21:46] trigger prices worldwide.
[00:22:02] represents a direct and critical threat to fishing and
[00:22:05] food security in Mexico. The anomalous warming of the
[00:22:09] Pacific Ocean waters is drastically modifying
[00:22:12] marine conditions, impacting around
[00:22:16] 370,000 families who depend on coastal fishing
[00:22:20] and the 2 million people who obtain sustenance through
[00:22:24] this sector. Specialists urge the state to
[00:22:27] strengthen resilient public policies and coordinate actions
[00:22:31] directly with fishermen to avoid the
[00:22:34] shortage of fish and seafood on Mexican tables.
[00:22:48] At the other end of Central America, we are already talking about Panama, they announce the
[00:22:51] reduction of maritime traffic through that canal, the Panama
[00:22:55] Canal, due to the impact of the El Niño phenomenon. The Panama
[00:22:58] Canal Authority indicated that it will continue to reduce the number of
[00:23:02] ships and vessels of all types authorized to
[00:23:05] transit through the waterway due to the
[00:23:08] low water levels that persist due to the El Niño phenomenon. The
[00:23:12] Canal Ministry states that the adjustments to maritime traffic
[00:23:15] aim to guarantee the operability,
[00:23:19] security and efficiency of the route. Now, previously the
[00:23:23] Panamanian government declared a state of emergency due to the climatic
[00:23:26] context, which can also increase the risk of drought
[00:23:30] and exert greater pressure on the canal's operation.
[00:24:09] marks the anniversary
[00:24:21] 1960 in Vienna,
[00:24:24] Austria, by countries such as Saudi Arabia, Venezuela,
[00:24:28] Iraq, Iran, and Kuwait. The alliance
[00:24:31] emerged to coordinate oil policies,
[00:24:35] influence crude prices, and ensure stable revenues for their
[00:24:39] economies. We are talking about OPEC, whose member countries
[00:24:44] the world's crude oil reserves, and this strategic position gives
[00:24:48] them a fundamental production
[00:24:50] capacity to supply international
[00:24:53] energy demand. So, celebrating
[00:24:56] a birthday, OPEC, with guidelines set by
[00:25:00] the ministerial conference and bodies such as the Board of Governors,
[00:25:04] OPEC continues to fulfill its historic mission,
[00:25:07] to protect its members against volatility and ensure
[00:25:11] balance in the global
[00:25:44] shade, tomorrow will also illuminate our
[00:25:47] streets. Well, it turns out that
[00:25:50] synthetic biology seeks to create
[00:25:53] plants capable of emitting light at night.
[00:25:56] Will that be possible? But converting nature into
[00:26:15] lit by poles and cables, but by the
[00:26:17] trees that today shade your city? It sounds like science
[00:26:21] fiction, but synthetic biology is already
[00:26:24] working on that possibility. Instead of
[00:26:27] manufacturing increasingly efficient lamps,
[00:26:30] scientists seek to convert
[00:26:32] vegetation itself into a natural source of
[00:26:36] light. The goal is for trees and plants
[00:26:39] to function as living public lighting, reducing
[00:26:43] electricity consumption, carbon emissions, and reliance
[00:26:47] on traditional infrastructure.
[00:26:50] How? By incorporating DNA sequences from
[00:26:53] bioluminescent mushrooms and jellyfish into
[00:26:56] their genome. Thus, vegetation would use its own
[00:27:00] metabolism to emit light at night through
[00:27:03] luciferin, without cables or electricity, and in a
[00:27:07] self-regenerating way.
[00:27:10] But here lies the dilemma: the same
[00:27:13] technology that could reduce energy
[00:27:16] expenditure and light pollution
[00:27:19] also poses the risk of altering
[00:27:22] ecosystems with transgenic species. The
[00:27:25] question is no longer whether we can make trees
[00:27:29] glow, but whether we are prepared
[00:27:32] to face its consequences, because although it seems straight out of a
[00:27:36] novel, this no longer
[00:27:38] seems like such
[00:27:55] context of it, Yemeni
[00:27:59] Saudi Arabia, stop
[00:28:07] is very divided, notice that 32%, one
[00:28:10] third of the audience thinks that in Western Asia the world
[00:28:14] is reorienting, 36%, also another third
[00:28:16] thinks that the United States and Saudi Arabia
[00:28:20] show weakness before Iran and Yemen, while
[00:28:24] a 26%, perhaps a fourth believes that the resistance of
[00:28:27] Iran and Yemen gives hope to besieged peoples,
[00:28:31] now a small part, 6% believe that
[00:28:34] imperialism and Zionism
[00:29:55] Central American independence
[00:29:57] was being celebrated.
[00:30:02] to restore the Federal Republic of Central America, turned him
[00:30:06] into a martyr of the integrationist ideal, his
[00:30:09] legacy remains alive as a symbol of unity and justice in the
[00:30:12] region. The greatness of a nation is measured by the dignity and
[00:30:16] honor of its children. September 15,
[00:30:19] 1842, assassination of Francisco
[00:30:23] Morazán.
