[00:00:25] headlines.

[00:00:33] various nations of West
[00:00:35] Asia.

[00:00:47] Duma.
[00:00:53] Argentina restores electricity supply after a grid
[00:00:56] failure that interrupted service in the city of Buenos Aires.
[00:01:01] began, marking a new chapter in
[00:01:04] tension is observed and with
[00:01:21] The United States embassies in various nations in Western Asia
[00:01:25] issued security warnings addressed to their
[00:01:28] citizens in a context of growing regional tension,
[00:01:32] among the delegations that issued communiqués are those from
[00:01:35] Jerusalem, which reported on possible disruptions in civil
[00:01:39] air operations, including flight interruptions,
[00:01:42] temporary airspace closures,
[00:01:45] conditions that increase the speed and unforeseen changes in travel
[00:01:47] restrictions. Analysts and political sectors indicated that these
[00:01:51] alerts could be the prelude to new aggressions
[00:01:55] altitude and low humidity levels by Washington against Western Asian countries, in
[00:01:59] caused a fire on a context marked by the historical interventionist pattern of the White House in the
[00:02:03] region.
[00:02:09] Iran's Judiciary issued formal accusations against
[00:02:12] 159 officials from the United States and Israel for the
[00:02:15] assassination of leader Ali Yameney and 19 Iranian
[00:02:19] commanders. The spokesman for the entity, Sejet Ali
[00:02:22] Casemi, confirmed that high-ranking political and military officials
[00:02:26] from the United States and the Israeli regime face
[00:02:30] an open investigation, of which
[00:02:33] 92 are Americans and 67 Israelis. According to the
[00:02:37] spokesman, one of the legal files being processed
[00:02:40] before the Terán Court seeks
[00:02:43] claims for material and moral damages, and a hearing
[00:02:46] date will soon be issued. He highlighted that the
[00:02:49] objective of the investigations is
[00:02:52] to precisely document the
[00:02:55] allegations and also the evidence
[00:02:58] to advance in the process of suing and sentencing those
[00:03:01] responsible.
[00:03:09] The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, General
[00:03:13] Mosen Rasei, announced that Tehran transmitted
[00:03:16] seven demands to Washington to initiate any negotiation
[00:03:20] process. He stressed that the Iranian message is clear and
[00:03:22] unequivocal, and warned that
[00:03:26] national consultation on the reform of if the United States wants to get out of the quagmire it created,
[00:03:28] it has no other alternative than to accept Iran's rights and
[00:03:32] conditions. Previously, the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismael
[00:03:35] Bagei, stated on state television that Washington cannot
[00:03:39] talk about negotiations without Tehran's
[00:03:41] travel to mountain conditions being met. He pointed out that what Iran announced
[00:03:44] are, in reality, the same
[00:03:48] contingency directly coincides with demands and fundamentals of the June
[00:03:50] the close of the national 17 agreement, from which the US government unilaterally and unjustifiably
[00:03:53] withdrew. Vag
[00:03:56] response of President Abelardo de reiterated that Iran demands the total lifting of sanctions and the end of the US naval
[00:04:00] blockade on Iranian ports and vessels, and emphasized that
[00:04:03] as long as this blockade persists, there can be no
[00:04:06] talk of an end to the conflict, nor of the
[00:04:10] normalization of the
[00:04:11] almost 70,000 destroyed homes, situation.
[00:04:19] In Yemen, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Sana'a government
[00:04:23] denied attacks against civilians in Saudi territory and
[00:04:25] blamed the Saudi government's defense for these
[00:04:29] incidents. The ministry clarified that the casualties that the
[00:04:32] Saudi regime attributes to the Yemeni resistance are
[00:04:36] in reality consequences of the interceptions
[00:04:39] carried out by its own air defense
[00:04:42] cooperation in hydrocarbon matters with systems. The diplomatic portfolio denounced that Riyadh
[00:04:45] deliberately carries out these interception
[00:04:48] operations over densely populated areas with the aim of
[00:04:52] causing the greatest possible number of civilian casualties and then
[00:04:55] attributing them to Yemeni forces. The Ministry
[00:04:58] stressed that the Yemeni armed forces have demonstrated over the
[00:05:02] last 12 years that their targets are military and oil
[00:05:05] facilities that finance the aggression, and not civilians or residential
[00:05:09] areas. They also concluded that Yemeni military
[00:05:12] actions are guided by religious,
[00:05:16] moral, and humanitarian principles, as confirmed by the reality on the
[00:05:20] ground.
[00:05:30] In Germany, a fire at a medical center in Berlin leaves one
[00:05:33] dead and at least 25 injured, according to preliminary reports from the
[00:05:37] firefighters. The fire started in a room that was engulfed
[00:05:41] in flames and was completely destroyed. Among the injured, a patient in
[00:05:45] critical condition had to be resuscitated, while the rest
[00:05:48] suffered minor damage, mostly from smoke inhalation. All
[00:05:52] residents were evacuated from the building and received medical attention. The
[00:05:56] fire was brought under control, and the cause remains unknown.
[00:06:28] and in Argentina, the energy distribution company
[00:06:32] Sur de Sur confirmed the reestablishment of the electricity
[00:06:35] supply after a failure in the high-tension system of Anba. The
[00:06:39] company reported the complete normalization of the electricity supply in the metropolitan
[00:06:42] area of Buenos Aires, the country's capital, after a failure
[00:06:46] recorded in the interconnected system. The service
[00:06:50] interruption simultaneously affected thousands of users in various
[00:06:53] neighborhoods in the north and south of the urban conglomerate. Edesur
[00:06:57] also confirmed that the fault was repaired after 9:30
[00:07:00] PM local time, recovering full
[00:07:03] operability in the concession
[00:07:05] network.
[00:07:14] Indeed, the electricity supply was restored after a
[00:07:17] grid failure that caused a blackout in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
[00:07:20] According to official reports, a fault in the grid of the North
[00:07:23] distribution and marketing company left approximately
[00:07:27] 600,000 people without electricity in the country's
[00:07:31] capital. The power outage began at 8:30 PM
[00:07:35] local time, affecting several neighborhoods such
[00:07:39] as Palermo, Belgrano, Villa Santa Rita, and Recoleta.
[00:07:43] According to sources from the Anonymous Society of the Energy Movement Center
[00:07:46] (SACME), consulted by local media, presumably more than
[00:07:50] 10% of the electrical demand managed by the distribution
[00:07:54] company Edenor was lost. Recent reports indicate that the
[00:07:57] service has been gradually reestablished in small areas of the metropolitan
[00:08:01] area of the Argentine capital, Buenos
[00:08:03] Aires.
[00:08:11] And popular leaders and social
[00:08:15] organizations in Bolivia rejected the "dieselazo" imposed by the
[00:08:19] government of President Rodrigo Paz, which eliminated the diesel subsidy
[00:08:22] and almost doubled its price. Former President Evo Morales denounced
[00:08:26] that the measure was imposed after promoting the extension of the state
[00:08:29] of emergency just before the summer
[00:08:32] planting season and warned that the burden of the adjustment falls on those who
[00:08:36] work the land. The federated transport declared an emergency
[00:08:39] and warned that the measure could leave some
[00:08:43] 2,000 affiliates out of work, while agricultural
[00:08:46] producers warned about the increase in food
[00:08:49] prices. Social organizations called for
[00:08:52] mobilizations and demanded the immediate abrogation of this
[00:08:56] decree.
[00:09:05] Also in Bolivia, the country's workers' union rejected the
[00:09:08] elimination of the diesel subsidy and called for an expanded national
[00:09:12] emergency meeting. Through a communiqué, the workers' union issued the following
[00:09:16] message: the Bolivian workers' union, as the legitimate
[00:09:19] and genuine representative of the working class and Bolivian
[00:09:22] families, categorically rejects and condemns the recent
[00:09:26] announcement by the national government regarding the total elimination
[00:09:29] of the diesel subsidy. In exercise
[00:09:32] of its organic and statutory powers,
[00:09:36] an immediate national expanded emergency meeting is convened
[00:09:40] with the participation of all
[00:09:42] confederations, national federations, departmental
[00:09:46] and regional workers' unions. The government is solely
[00:09:50] responsible for the social instability and the mobilization
[00:09:53] actions that the grassroots decide to take in defense
[00:09:56] of the bread and dignity of the people of Bolivia.
[00:10:11] We resume information from Russia because the third day of the
[00:10:14] legislative elections is advancing. We have
[00:10:17] immediately the following report from our correspondent
[00:10:31] of the legislative elections in Russia has begun to
[00:10:34] determine who will be the 450 deputies
[00:10:37] to the State Duma, the lower house of Parliament, who will represent
[00:10:41] the citizenry in the next 5 years of the ninth
[00:10:45] legislature. The early hours of this third day have been
[00:10:48] marked by the intensification
[00:10:51] of Ukrainian terrorist actions against the interior
[00:10:54] of Russian territory, especially against the province of Moscow and the
[00:10:57] capital, seeking to create panic and destabilize the
[00:11:01] citizenry to hinder a democratic closing of the
[00:11:04] electoral process. The special envoy of the Russian Ministry
[00:11:08] of Foreign Affairs, Rodio Miroschkin, denounced in the early hours
[00:11:12] of this September 20 the attack by
[00:11:15] Kyiv on polling stations and residential areas, causing
[00:11:19] civilian deaths, including that of a territorial
[00:11:22] electoral commission president. He also commented
[00:11:26] that an escalation of
[00:11:29] it a concerted effort to hinder
[00:11:33] the elections, besiege cities and force electoral
[00:11:36] commissions and local authorities to resort to
[00:11:40] alternative methods to organize the
[00:11:43] voting. For his part, the governor of Moscow province,
[00:11:47] Andrey Boroviet, denounced this Sunday that
[00:11:51] several civilians died as a result of a massive
[00:11:55] Ukrainian drone attack against the region and the
[00:11:58] capital. According to details, between 3 and
[00:12:01] 5 AM local Moscow time, Russian
[00:12:04] air defense shot down and neutralized 249
[00:12:08] drones in 17 districts, while Moscow Mayor Sergey
[00:12:12] Sobyanin reported that air defense forces shot down
[00:12:15] 152 drones in the Russian capital. Authorities
[00:12:19] detailed that in the Ramenqui district, the fall of a drone
[00:12:24] the upper roof of a 21-story residential building, from
[00:12:27] which 400 people were evacuated, including 70
[00:12:31] children. Also, in the Sofino district, a drone hit a
[00:12:35] three-story apartment building. A 44-year-old
[00:12:38] woman died and five more people were
[00:12:42] injured, including two children. On the other hand, in
[00:12:45] the Oresquinno Sulievo district, an elderly
[00:12:48] man who was inside a private
[00:12:52] house that caught fire as a result of the attack died.
[00:12:55] On the other hand, the Russian diplomat also warned that the attacks
[00:12:59] are intensifying and there are specially prepared
[00:13:02] operations directed against the popular republics of Donetsk
[00:13:06] and Lugansk, where the Ukrainian armed forces have
[00:13:09] concentrated significant forces. Miroshkin
[00:13:13] warned that they are already trying or
[00:13:16] will try during the last day of voting
[00:13:20] to undermine or in some way influence the
[00:13:23] outcome of the elections, given that they will not be able to influence
[00:13:27] the result. We will continue to gather
[00:13:30] information on the closing of these
[00:14:43] In Venezuela, a memorandum of understanding was signed between authorities
[00:14:46] of Pedebesa and the French company Total
[00:14:49] Energies. At the Miraflores Palace, the interim president of
[00:14:52] Venezuela held a meeting with executives of the
[00:14:56] French company Total Energies, accompanied by the Minister of
[00:15:00] Hydrocarbons, Paula Enao, and the president of PDbesa, Héctor
[00:15:03] Obregón. The strategic
[00:15:07] the French oil giant, present in 130
[00:15:10] countries, is framed within the new organic hydrocarbons law approved
[00:15:14] at the beginning of the year. The interim president Delsie
[00:15:18] Rodríguez reiterated that Venezuela has reliable legal
[00:15:21] conditions to attract new investments in the
[00:15:24] context of economic recovery and the energy
[00:15:27] alliance with international
[00:15:29] companies.
[00:15:38] With the signing of agreements, the visit of the President of Paraguay to
[00:15:41] Venezuela concluded, where he held a dialogue with the interim President of the country,
[00:15:54] president of Venezuela, Delsis Rodríguez, received the president of
[00:15:57] Paraguay, Santiago Peña, at Miraflores
[00:15:59] Palace.
[00:16:03] It was his first visit to the country and it was a working visit, approved by the
[00:16:06] Parliament of Paraguay before his participation in the UN General
[00:16:10] Assembly. He had
[00:16:13] time, thank you very
[00:16:15] much.
[00:16:18] In the garden, the musicians of the orchestra system welcomed him with a cultural
[00:16:21] gesture before starting the dialogue after more than 20 months
[00:16:25] of broken relations due to the Paraguayan government not recognizing
[00:16:29] President Nicolás Maduro. Caracas, at this hour,
[00:16:32] we share with you this cultural
[00:16:35] reception, and the meeting
[00:16:39] the bilateral agenda between Caracas and Asunción, with a view to
[00:16:42] exploring agreements of mutual benefit.
[00:16:46] The foreign policy maintained by President Delsy Rodríguez is
[00:16:49] cooperation and international law to resolve
[00:16:52] any conflict and multilateralism for international peace.
[00:16:56] So the flags of
[00:16:59] both countries marked the beginning of new bilateral
[00:17:02] relations, and after 2 hours of
[00:17:05] conversation, both presidents sealed the face-to-face meeting with the signing of a document.
[00:17:19] Very good, and the working visit concluded. The President of Paraguay said goodbye
[00:17:23] with a brief message and emphasized recognizing the
[00:17:26] dialogue.
[00:17:33] The agenda is the recognition of both
[00:17:44] primary aluminum to the United States with a first shipment
[00:17:47] exceeding 15,000 tons after a commercial agreement was
[00:17:51] finalized between the company CBG Venalum and international
[00:17:54] firms. The commercial agreement between the state-owned
[00:17:58] Guayanesa, the trading company
[00:18:00] Mercuria Energy Group LID, and the company Henni
[00:18:04] Capital, made possible the export of ingots that reach
[00:18:07] purity levels between 99.5 and
[00:18:10] 99.7%, parameters recognized as high
[00:18:14] quality standards within the international market. This
[00:18:18] decision is driven by the new policies of interim President
[00:18:22] Delsi Rodríguez to strengthen national
[00:18:25] productivity. The company CBG Benalum, with a capacity
[00:18:29] of 430,000 tons annually, seeks to
[00:18:33] contribute to the Venezuelan
[00:18:34] economy.
[00:18:43] The Attorney General of Venezuela held a working
[00:18:46] meeting with the delegation of Human Rights
[00:18:49] Watch. During the meeting, they addressed the human rights
[00:18:53] situation and the role of the Public Ministry.
[00:18:56] Likewise, the Attorney General of Venezuela invited the delegation to
[00:18:59] present their contributions to the
[00:19:03] criminal justice, an initiative that seeks structural
[00:19:07] transformations of the country's judicial system. In this
[00:19:11] way, both parties agreed to establish a continuous
[00:19:14] communication mechanism to provide timely responses to issues
[00:19:18] related to justice and human rights.

[00:19:27] The Colombian political party, Historic Pact, questioned the
[00:19:33] la Espriella to the tragedy caused by the 7.4
[00:19:36] earthquake on August 10. Senator
[00:19:39] Carolina Corcho criticized that, while there are
[00:19:43] nearly 400,000 affected compatriots and
[00:19:48] de la Espriella boasts that only 1,600
[00:19:52] rooms were contributed by the private sector.
[00:19:55] She highlighted that the earthquake victims do not need propaganda
[00:19:59] or minimal budget funds, they need solutions
[00:20:03] commensurate with the crisis. Members of the executive alerted
[00:20:06] about an alleged transaction within the Milagro
[00:20:09] Fund structure, an autonomous patrimony created for the
[00:20:13] reconstruction of the country, and according to President de la
[00:20:16] Espriella, through this initiative, doors are opened
[00:20:19] to private entrepreneurs and wealthy representatives
[00:20:23] with the intention of creating a personal
[00:20:25] and family business.
[00:20:32] We now move on to climate information through the Telesur
[00:20:35] screen.
[00:20:50] In Colombia, at least 15 active forest
[00:20:53] fires are reported amidst the current drought season. The National
[00:20:56] Unit for Disaster Risk Management
[00:20:59] confirmed that the national territory woke up with
[00:21:03] 15 ongoing forest fires and nine more under control,
[00:21:07] which impact regions such as Tolima, Cundinamarca, Valle
[00:21:11] del Cauca, Cauca, Huila, and Nariño. Tolima continues
[00:21:14] to be the most affected area,
[00:21:18] harboring more than half of the active incidents with emergencies
[00:21:22] registered in several localities. The entities
[00:21:25] warned that these contingencies are a consequence of the
[00:21:28] El Niño phenomenon, high temperatures, and fires caused by
[00:21:32] humans. In turn, the emergency keeps the low levels
[00:21:35] of the Cauca and Magdalena rivers
[00:21:39] under surveillance.
[00:21:46] Several departments of Colombia also suffer the effects of the super
[00:21:50] El Niño phenomenon with droughts derived from the scarcity of
[00:21:53] rainfall. Departments such as Boyacá, Atlántico
[00:21:57] and Cesar report crop losses, water shortages
[00:22:00] and impacts on their rivers. In the case of Puerto
[00:22:03] Boyacá, the Magdalena River lost up to 80% of
[00:22:07] its flow, negatively impacting fishermen and river
[00:22:10] transport. Specialized teams are fighting
[00:22:14] forest fires caused by the climatic phenomenon,
[00:22:17] which could extend until the third month
[00:22:21] of
[00:22:21] 2027.
[00:22:29] Ecuador registered a large forest fire amidst climatic
[00:22:35] of the flames' spread. Quito authorities face
[00:22:38] difficulties in controlling the fire due to the
[00:22:41] topography, also the high
[00:22:45] of the Ecuadorian capital. The fire department deployed at least 100
[00:22:48] personnel in the affected area, in addition to
[00:22:52] aerial and ground operations to
[00:22:55] counteract the fire. Simultaneously, various inhabitants of neighboring areas
[00:22:59] manually assisted in the fire extinguishing operations.

[00:23:10] Brazil faces a severe storm characterized by destructive
[00:23:14] hailstorms, intense rains, and wind gusts that
[00:23:17] exceed 100 km/h. The phenomenon was
[00:23:20] driven by the combination of an extratropical cyclone
[00:23:24] and a powerful cold front colliding with the warm, humid air of the
[00:23:27] Amazon. The National Institute of Meteorology issued orange
[00:23:31] and red alerts for five states: Rio Grande do
[00:23:34] Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul, and São
[00:23:38] Paulo. 11 cities in the south have already been declared
[00:23:41] in emergency due to hail damage and heavy rains. Forecasts
[00:23:45] indicate accumulations of up to 200 mm and a risk
[00:23:49] of new storms over the
[00:23:50] weekend.
[00:23:58] Chile issued alerts in seven regions for rain, wind, and
[00:24:02] snow in areas of the Andean mountain range. The National
[00:24:05] Service for Prevention and Response to Disasters
[00:24:09] activated monitoring protocols in the following
[00:24:12] areas: Chico North and central zone, south-central and
[00:24:15] far north. The authorities
[00:24:19] recommend that the population secure light structures,
[00:24:23] clean drainage gutters before the
[00:24:26] rains intensify, avoid unnecessary
[00:24:31] range or pre-mountain range areas while the
[00:24:34] alert lasts. This meteorological

[00:25:07] As every year, the United Nations headquarters receives world leaders
[00:25:11] during its high-level week, amidst the international debate on the
[00:25:14] transformation of multilateral organizations to act
[00:25:18] in favor of the majorities who demand equity in decision-making
[00:25:22] and genuinely influence respect for the self-determination of peoples and international
[00:25:25] law. Telesur provides special coverage of this
