[00:00:03] their contributions to the national [00:00:10] rule of law applies to [00:00:26] How are you? This is Telesur News, I'll tell you immediately [00:00:29] the legislative actions our headlines. [00:00:33] US Embassies issue security alerts in [00:00:36] various nations in [00:00:38] Western Asia. [00:00:44] destroyed homes, de la grid of the distribution and Russia is ready for the third and last day of the legislative elections to renew [00:00:47] 450 seats of the State [00:00:49] Duma. [00:00:53] Argentina reestablishes electricity supply after a grid failure that [00:00:57] interrupted service in the city of Buenos Aires. [00:01:25] US Embassies in various nations in [00:01:28] Western Asia issued security alerts directed [00:01:31] at their citizens in a context of growing regional [00:01:36] in 130 countries, is framed detention. Among the delegations that issued statements is that of Jerusalem, which reported on [00:01:40] eventual alterations in civil air operations, including [00:01:44] flight interruptions, temporary airspace closures, and [00:01:48] unforeseen modifications to [00:01:50] exception just before summer travel restrictions. Analysts and political sectors [00:01:53] indicated that these alerts could be the [00:01:56] prelude to new aggressions from Washington against countries in [00:01:59] Western Asia in a context marked by the historical [00:02:02] interventionist pattern of the White House at the regional [00:02:05] level. [00:02:13] Iran's judiciary issued formal accusations against [00:02:16] 159 US and Israeli officials for the [00:02:20] assassination of leader Ali Khamenei and 19 Iranian [00:02:23] commanders. The spokesman for the entity, Sejet Ali [00:02:26] Casemi, confirmed that the high-ranking political and military officials [00:02:30] of the United States and the Israeli regime are facing an open [00:02:33] investigation, of whom 92 are American and 67 [00:02:37] Israeli. According to the spokesman, one of the legal [00:02:40] files being processed before the Tehran Court seeks [00:02:43] compensation for material and moral [00:02:47] damages, and a hearing date will soon be issued. [00:02:50] He highlighted that the objective of the investigations is to document the allegations [00:02:54] and evidence to proceed with the process of prosecuting and sentencing [00:02:58] those responsible. [00:03:06] The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, General [00:03:09] Mohsen Rezaei, announced that Tehran transmitted [00:03:13] seven demands to Washington to initiate any negotiation [00:03:16] process. He stressed that the Iranian message is clear and [00:03:20] unequivocal and warned that if the United States wishes to get out of the quagmire [00:03:23] it caused, it has no other alternative than to accept the [00:03:27] rights and conditions of Iran. Previously, the spokesman for the [00:03:30] Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismael Bagey, declared on state [00:03:34] television that Washington cannot talk about negotiations without Tehran's [00:03:37] conditions being met. He indicated that what Iran announced [00:03:41] are, in reality, the same demands and foundations of the June [00:03:45] the corresponding support from 17 agreement, from which the US government unilaterally [00:03:48] and unjustifiably withdrew. He reiterated [00:03:51] that Iran demands the total lifting of sanctions and the end of the US naval [00:03:55] blockade on Iranian ports and vessels and [00:03:59] emphasized that as long as that blockade persists, [00:04:01] there can be no talk of ending the conflict or normalizing [00:04:05] the situation. [00:04:06] In Yemen, the Ministry of Foreign [00:04:12] Affairs of the Sana'a Government denied [00:04:16] civilian attacks against Saudi territory and blamed the Saudi [00:04:19] government's defense for these events. The Ministry clarified that [00:04:23] the casualties in the Saudi regime attributed to the Yemeni [00:04:26] resistance are, in reality, a consequence of [00:04:30] the interceptions carried out by their own air [00:04:33] defense systems. The diplomatic portfolio denounced that Riyadh [00:04:37] deliberately carries out these interception operations over [00:04:40] densely populated areas with the aim of [00:04:43] causing the greatest possible number of civilian casualties and then [00:04:47] attributing them to Yemeni forces. The ministry stressed that Yemeni [00:04:50] armed forces have demonstrated throughout the last 12 years that their [00:04:54] targets are military and oil facilities that end the [00:04:58] aggression, and not civilians or residential areas. Furthermore, [00:05:02] they concluded that Yemeni military operations are governed by [00:05:05] religious, moral, and humanitarian principles, as confirmed by the [00:05:09] reality on the ground. Russia is ready for the third and last [00:05:20] day of the legislative elections to renew [00:05:23] 450 seats of the State Duma. We have our correspondent [00:05:27] Odeb Díaz immediately with us. [00:05:30] Greetings to the collective and [00:05:34] to the audience, a few hours left for the start of the [00:05:38] last day of voting for [00:05:42] in Russia to determine who will be the 450 [00:05:45] deputies who will represent the citizens for 5 [00:05:49] years in the State Duma, the Lower House of Parliament [00:05:52] in its ninth legislature. The electoral [00:05:55] process, which has extended for three days, has been marked [00:05:59] by constant popular participation, despite attempts to [00:06:02] sabotage it through cyberattacks on the electronic system, including [00:06:06] direct attacks by Ukrainian drones on polling [00:06:09] stations, especially in the border areas [00:06:12] of the country. At the close of the second election [00:06:15] day, the vice president of the Moscow City Electoral [00:06:19] Commission, Dimitri Reu, reported that more than 3.12 million [00:06:23] voters exercised their right to vote in the country's capital [00:06:26] through electronic ballots, and of them, 400,000 did [00:06:30] so physically at the polling stations. For her [00:06:33] part, the president of the Central Electoral Commission, Ella [00:06:37] Panfilova, denounced the continuation of powerful cyberattacks [00:06:40] against the Muscovite remote electronic voting system. However, [00:06:44] she added that users did not notice it because the [00:06:48] attack was repelled and continues to be successfully [00:06:52] neutralized thanks to effective protection measures. According [00:06:55] to Panfilova, international observers detected only [00:06:58] three irregularities during the first two days of [00:07:02] voting, all of which were immediately corrected. In this context, [00:07:06] she assured that these observers from different [00:07:09] countries were able to verify the openness [00:07:12] of the electoral system for themselves. She also [00:07:15] reported that as of the close of September [00:07:19] 19, 4,663,963 [00:07:21] voters had cast their [00:07:24] early ballots, including 4,400,215 [00:07:27] citizens in 12 border [00:07:30] regions and regions reunified with Russia. Early [00:07:33] voting also took place in 37 other federal [00:07:37] entities of Russia. 232,300 and 69 [00:07:40] voters went to polling stations in remote and [00:07:44] hard-to-reach areas, 31,258 did [00:07:47] so on ships at sea, and 121 voters [00:07:51] at polar stations. The Central Electoral Commission reported [00:07:55] that at the close of all polling stations on September [00:07:59] 19, participation in the legislative elections reached [00:08:02] 44.38%, the highest voter turnout, [00:08:06] continues to be registered so far in the Republic of Chechnya [00:08:09] with 85.24%. The second is [00:08:12] North Ossetia and Tuva, as well as the province [00:08:16] of Bryansk with 68.67%. [00:08:19] In this last election day, we will continue [00:08:23] to provide information on everything that [00:08:26] happens in this regard. Now we return the [00:08:29] signal. [00:08:30] Grateful to Nodep Diaz, in [00:08:34] Russia several civilians died as a result of a massive drone [00:08:38] attack by Ukrainians against Moscow. According to the [00:08:41] report, Russian air defense shot down and neutralized [00:08:45] 249 drones in 17 districts. It was [00:08:48] detailed that in the Ramenkib district, a drone caused [00:08:51] a fire in a residential building from which about [00:08:55] 400 people were evacuated, including 70 children, [00:08:59] as well as several victims registered in other districts [00:09:02] where children, women and adults were affected. The attack perpetrated [00:09:06] by Kiev caused damage to residential infrastructure and commercial [00:09:10] buildings. We'll take a short break, don't go away. [00:09:15] We continue with more, in Argentina, the [00:10:14] electricity distribution company Edesur confirmed the [00:10:17] reestablishment of the electricity supply after a high-voltage [00:10:20] system failure in the city of Buenos Aires. The company reported [00:10:24] the complete normalization of the electricity supply in the metropolitan area [00:10:28] of Buenos Aires, after a failure recorded in the interconnected [00:10:31] system. The service interruption simultaneously [00:10:34] affected thousands of users in various neighborhoods of the [00:10:38] northern and southern areas of the urban conglomerate. Edesur also [00:10:42] confirmed that the fault was repaired after 9:30 PM local [00:10:46] time, recovering full operability in the [00:10:49] concession network. [00:10:50] The electricity supply was indeed [00:10:58] restored after a grid failure that caused a blackout in Buenos [00:11:02] Aires, the capital of Argentina. According to official [00:11:04] reports, a malfunction in the [00:11:08] marketing company Norte caused nearly [00:11:11] 600,000 people to be left without electricity in the [00:11:15] Argentine capital. The power outage began at [00:11:18] 8:30 PM local time, leaving several [00:11:21] affected neighborhoods such as Palermo, Belgrano, Villa Santa [00:11:25] Rita and Recoleta. According to sources from the Sociedad [00:11:29] Anónima Centro de Movimiento de Energía, SACME, consulted [00:11:32] by local media, it is presumed that more than 10% [00:11:35] of the electricity demand managed by the distribution company [00:11:39] Edenor was lost. Recent reports indicate that the [00:11:42] service has been gradually restored in small areas of the [00:11:46] metropolitan area of the Argentine capital, Buenos [00:11:50] Aires. [00:11:51] Popular leaders and social organizations [00:11:57] in Bolivia rejected the "dieselazo" imposed by President Rodrigo [00:12:00] Paz's government, which eliminated the diesel subsidy and [00:12:04] set its price almost double the previous one. Former [00:12:08] President Evo Morales denounced that the measure was imposed [00:12:11] after extending the state of [00:12:15] planting and warned that the burden of the adjustment falls [00:12:18] on those who work the land. The federated transport declared [00:12:22] an emergency and warned that the measure could leave [00:12:25] about 2,000 members without work, while agricultural [00:12:28] producers warned about rising food prices. Social organizations [00:12:32] called for mobilizations and demanded the immediate [00:12:35] repeal of that decree. Also in Bolivia, the country's [00:12:39] labor federation rejected the [00:12:47] elimination of the diesel subsidy and called for a national [00:12:50] emergency meeting through a statement. The COB issued [00:12:53] the following message: The Bolivian Labor Federation, [00:12:56] representing the legitimate and genuine working class and Bolivian [00:13:00] families, categorically rejects and condemns the [00:13:04] recent announcement by the national government regarding the total [00:13:07] elimination of the diesel subsidy. In exercise of its [00:13:10] organizational and statutory powers, a national emergency [00:13:14] meeting is immediately called with the participation of all [00:13:18] confederations, national federations, departmental and [00:13:21] regional labor centers. The government [00:13:25] is solely responsible for social instability and the mobilization [00:13:28] actions of the grassroots that will then decide to act [00:13:32] in defense of the bread and dignity of the Bolivian [00:13:35] people. The Confederation of Drivers of [00:13:38] Bolivia declared a state of [00:13:44] emergency and strongly rejected the decree that eliminates the [00:13:48] diesel subsidy. The national [00:13:50] road transport in all [00:13:52] its modalities declares a state [00:13:55] of emergency and strongly rejects [00:13:57] this decree 165716. [00:14:01] It cannot be that the subsidy for diesel is lifted [00:14:05] precisely at this moment, when road transport needs [00:14:10] social sectors the most. Nor can it be that it punishes [00:14:14] our population, because finally, how much would it mean [00:14:17] if this decree, when diesel necessarily [00:14:21] cost 18 Bolivian pesos, as indicated in this corresponding [00:14:24] decree. Therefore, we are clear and concrete, [00:14:27] we will not be able to necessarily pay that corresponding [00:14:30] price for diesel, because finally, how much would a [00:14:34] user have to pay for the corresponding bus fare, how much would they have [00:14:37] to pay in this case for heavy transport regarding freight [00:14:41] charges? So, practically, it doubles. Therefore, [00:14:45] it is practically a punishment for the national [00:14:48] population, our users, our passengers. Therefore, [00:14:52] for that situation, the Confederation of Drivers of [00:14:55] Bolivia strongly rejects this decree [00:14:58] 5157/16. The Executive Secretary of the [00:15:02] Departmental Federation of Drivers of La Paz, Exson [00:15:05] Valdés, announced the start [00:15:08] of an indefinite transport strike in the department [00:15:12] in rejection of Supreme Decree 56/76 [00:15:15] which eliminates the diesel subsidy. From the departmental [00:15:18] expanded meeting, the nine regional [00:15:21] diesel. [00:15:25] federations, free transport, [00:15:28] the cooperatives that operate in the [00:15:31] department of La Paz, it has been [00:15:35] decided, comrades, to continue the indefinite transport strike in the [00:15:39] department of La Paz. The Minister of the Presidency [00:15:42] of Bolivia, Fernando Aramayo, warned that the [00:15:47] all sectors and that there will be sanctions for those [00:15:51] who go against its full validity. [00:15:54] The rule of law applies to all, [00:15:58] we are in a state of exception, and beyond [00:16:02] the announcements of the sectors, I reiterate, our call [00:16:05] is to dialogue, not to carry out de facto actions, [00:16:09] especially at a time when there will be sanctions [00:16:12] for those who obviously go against the full [00:16:15] validity of the rule of law. The Ministry of [00:16:19] Defense, the Ministry of Government have already taken [00:16:22] precautions to carry out actions, but we should not [00:16:25] reach those scenarios in which we return to the [00:16:29] streets to confront the population, because in reality [00:16:32] it is to confront the population, it is for people to have [00:16:35] fuel, for people to have food, and it is [00:16:39] to postpone even more the scenario [00:16:42] of economic reactivation of the country. [00:16:45] In Venezuela, a memorandum of understanding was signed [00:16:49] between PDVSA authorities and the French [00:16:52] company Total Energy. At Miraflores Palace, the country's [00:16:55] acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, held a meeting [00:16:59] with executives of the French company Total Energies, accompanied [00:17:03] by Hydrocarbons Minister Paula Enao and PDVSA President [00:17:06] Héctor Obregón. Strategic cooperation in hydrocarbons with [00:17:10] the French oil giant, present [00:17:14] within the new organic hydrocarbons law approved earlier this year. [00:17:18] The country's acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, reiterated [00:17:21] that Venezuela has reliable legal conditions to attract [00:17:25] new investments in the context of economic recovery and [00:17:28] energy alliance with international [00:17:30] companies. [00:17:36] And with the signing of several agreements, the visit of [00:17:40] the President of Paraguay to Venezuela concluded, where he held a dialogue [00:17:44] with the country's acting president, [00:17:46] Delcy Rodríguez, with reporting [00:17:50] from Madelen García. After 1 PM, the acting president [00:17:54] of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, received the President [00:17:57] of Paraguay, Santiago Peña, at Miraflores Palace. [00:18:01] It is his first visit to the country and it was a working [00:18:05] visit, approved by the Parliament of Paraguay beforehand. [00:18:16] In the garden, the musicians of the orchestra system welcomed [00:18:20] him with a cultural gesture before starting the dialogue [00:18:23] after more than 20 months of broken relations [00:18:27] due to Paraguay's government not recognizing President [00:18:31] Nicolás Maduro of Caracas. At this time, we share with [00:18:33] you this cultural reception, and the meeting [00:18:36] that marks a new chapter [00:18:56] began. Thus, the flags of both countries marked the [00:19:00] beginning of new bilateral relations, and after two [00:19:03] hours of conversation, both leaders sealed the face-to-face meeting with the signing [00:19:40] of Venezuela resumed the export of primary aluminum [00:19:44] to the United States with a first shipment of over 15,000 [00:19:47] tons after a commercial agreement was reached between [00:19:50] the CBG Venalum company and international firms. The [00:19:54] commercial agreement between the state-owned Guayana company, the trading company Mercuria [00:19:58] Energy Group and LID, and the company Geni [00:20:01] Capital, made it possible to export ingots that reach [00:20:05] purity levels between 99% and 99.7%, [00:20:08] parameters recognized as high-quality standards in the [00:20:12] international market. This decision is driven by the new [00:20:15] policies of the country's acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, [00:20:18] to strengthen national productivity. The CBG [00:20:22] Venalum company, with a capacity of 430,000 tons [00:20:26] per year, seeks to contribute to the Venezuelan [00:20:29] economy. [00:20:30] The Attorney General [00:20:36] of Venezuela held a working meeting with a [00:20:39] delegation from the Human Rights Watch organization. During [00:20:42] the meeting, they addressed the human rights situation [00:20:46] and the role of the Public Ministry of Boe. He invited [00:20:50] the delegation to present [00:20:53] consultation on the reform of criminal justice, an initiative [00:20:56] that seeks structural transformations in the Venezuelan judicial [00:21:00] system. In this way, both parties agreed to establish [00:21:04] a continuous communication mechanism to provide timely [00:21:07] responses to issues of justice [00:21:09] and human rights. [00:21:15] The Colombian political party Pacto Histórico questioned [00:21:18] President Abelardo del Espriella's response to the [00:21:22] tragedy caused by the 7.4 earthquake on August 10. [00:21:26] Senator Carolina Corcho criticized that, while there are [00:21:29] nearly 400,000 affected compatriots and almost 70,000 [00:21:34] Espriella prides himself on having only 1,600 [00:21:37] rooms that were provided by the private sector. [00:21:41] She highlighted that the earthquake victims do not need propaganda [00:21:45] or minimal budget funds, they need solutions that match [00:21:49] the crisis. Members of the executive warned about a presumed [00:21:52] trap in the structure of the Milagro Autonomous Heritage [00:21:55] Fund created for the country's reconstruction. According to President [00:21:59] de la Espriella, through this initiative, doors are opened [00:22:02] to private entrepreneurs and not rich representatives [00:22:05] with the intention of creating a personal and family business. [00:22:26] In Colombia, 15 active forest fires are reported [00:22:30] amidst the current dry season. The National Unit for Disaster [00:22:34] Risk Management confirmed that the national territory woke up with [00:22:37] 15 forest fires in progress and nine more under control, [00:22:41] which impact regions such as Tolima, Cundinamarca, Valle [00:22:44] del Cauca, Cauca, Huila, and Nariño. Tolima continues [00:22:48] to be the most affected area, hosting more than half [00:22:52] of the active fires, with emergencies registered in several [00:22:55] localities. On the other hand, the entities warned that these [00:22:59] contingencies are a consequence of the El Niño phenomenon, [00:23:03] high temperatures, and burns caused by humans. In turn, [00:23:07] the emergency maintains low water levels in the Cauca and Magdalena [00:23:10] rivers under surveillance. [00:23:15] Several departments in Colombia are affected by the Super [00:23:18] El Niño phenomenon, with droughts caused by the [00:23:22] scarcity of rainfall. Departments such as Boyacá, [00:23:25] Atlántico, and César report crop losses, water [00:23:28] shortages, and impacts on their rivers. In the case of Puerto [00:23:32] Boyacá, the Magdalena River lost up to 80% of its [00:23:35] flow, negatively impacting fishermen and river [00:23:38] transport. Specialized teams are fighting forest fires [00:23:42] caused by the climatic phenomenon, which could extend [00:23:46] until the third month of 2027. [00:23:50] Ecuador recorded a large [00:23:50] forest fire amidst climatic [00:23:58] conditions that increase the speed of flame propagation. [00:24:01] The authorities in Quito, the capital, are facing difficulties [00:24:05] in controlling the fire due to the topography, high [00:24:09] altitude, and low humidity levels in the Ecuadorian [00:24:13] capital. The fire department deployed at least 100 personnel [00:24:16] to the affected area, in addition to air and [00:24:20] ground operations to combat the fire. Simultaneously, various [00:24:24] residents of the surrounding areas manually supported these [00:24:27] fire extinction operations. [00:24:29] This concludes the current [00:24:34] Telesur News broadcast. Until next time. [00:24:51] As every year, the United Nations headquarters receives [00:24:54] world leaders during its high-level week, amid the international [00:24:58] debate on the transformation of multilateral organizations [00:25:01] to act in favor of the majorities who clamor for [00:25:04] equity in decision-making and truly influence respect [00:25:08] for the self-determination of peoples and international [00:25:11] law.
