[00:00:31] How are you? Telesur Noticias begins immediately. Let's check the
[00:00:35] headlines.
[00:00:38] The third and final day begins to elect the
[00:00:41] 450 members of the State Duma in Russia amid Ukraine's attempts
[00:00:45] to sabotage the
[00:00:46] elections.
[00:00:52] US embassies issue security alerts in various
[00:00:56] Western Asian nations.
[00:01:01] Venezuela advances in its energy alliances with the world
[00:01:04] after signing a memorandum of understanding between the
[00:01:07] French oil company Total Energies and the national state-owned company
[00:01:11] PDVSA.
[00:01:18] In Russia, the election day continues for the third and final day to renew the seats of the State
[00:01:22] headline of the moment or with Duma. Voters go to the polling stations for a day that so far sums
[00:01:25] hasta los centros de votación para una jornada que hasta ahora suma
[00:01:29] 44.38% participation, despite
[00:01:33] multiple attempts of cyber sabotage against
[00:01:36] system platforms. The Russian electoral commission highlights
[00:01:40] the participation of more than 4 million voters in the border
[00:01:43] and reunified regions, while
[00:01:46] we always aim international observers reported that customs, what we share only three irregularities
[00:01:50] have occurred during the process on the second
[00:01:53] day.
[00:01:59] In Russia, several civilians died as a result of a massive attack with
[00:02:03] Ukrainian drones against Moscow, according to the Russian
[00:02:06] air defense report, which shot down and neutralized 249
[00:02:10] drones in 17 districts. It detailed that in the Ramenki
[00:02:14] district, a drone caused a fire in a residential
[00:02:17] building, from which about
[00:02:20] 400 people were evacuated, including 70 children, as well as
[00:02:24] several victims recorded in other districts where children,
[00:02:27] women and adults were affected. The attack was
[00:02:31] perpetrated by Kyiv and caused damage to residential
[00:02:34] infrastructure and commercial
[00:02:36] buildings.
[00:02:43] Russia's defense systems repelled in the last
[00:02:46] 24 hours the largest massive drone attack against Moscow perpetrated
[00:02:50] by Ukraine. The report indicates that, despite more than 1,600
[00:02:53] drones being intercepted on all fronts,
[00:02:57] some of the drones managed to cause damage to energy,
[00:03:01] residential, and commercial infrastructure, leaving several
[00:03:04] fatalities and injuries in addition to evacuated
[00:03:06] buildings. The authorities assure that the unprecedented
[00:03:10] attack aims to sabotage the
[00:03:13] elections.
[00:03:21] In this regard, the Russian armed forces responded to Kyiv's
[00:03:25] selective attacks perpetrated against civilians by launching attacks
[00:03:29] against logistics centers, warehouses, ports, and
[00:03:33] Connect with
[00:03:33] reiterated the call to maintain pressure on Ukrainian ships with high-precision weapons and drones against military
[00:03:37] targets, including the bimodal data center
[00:03:40] responsible for the storage, processing, and transmission of
[00:03:44] data, including intelligence data.
[00:03:56] In Germany, a fire in a medical center in Berlin left one person
[00:04:00] dead and more than 25 injured. According to preliminary
[00:04:03] reports from the firefighters, the fire
[00:04:06] started in a room that was engulfed in flames and was completely
[00:04:10] destroyed. Among the injured, a critically ill
[00:04:13] patient had to be resuscitated, while the
[00:04:16] rest suffered minor injuries, mostly due to smoke
[00:04:19] inhalation. All residents were evacuated from the building and
[00:04:23] are receiving medical attention. The fire was controlled,
[00:04:26] and the causes are still unknown.
[00:05:04] with droughts caused by The South American giant is
[00:05:07] in constant evolution. Join
[00:05:11] Beto Almeida and guests in Latitud
[00:05:14] Brasil, a conversation where the most
[00:05:18] important aspects of daily Brazilian events are discussed, in the
[00:05:22] political, social, economic, and
[00:05:25] cultural
[00:05:28] landscape, every Wednesday, only on Telesur.
[00:06:12] US embassies in various Western Asian nations
[00:06:16] issued several security alerts for their citizens
[00:06:19] in a context of growing regional tension. Among the
[00:06:23] delegations that issued statements was Jerusalem, which reported
[00:06:27] on eventual disruptions in civil air operations, including
[00:06:30] flight interruptions, temporary airspace closures,
[00:06:33] and unforeseen changes in travel
[00:06:36] restrictions. Analysts and political sectors indicated that
[00:06:40] these alerts could be a prelude to new aggressions by Washington against
[00:06:44] Western Asian countries in a context marked by the historical interventionist
[00:06:47] pattern of the White House in the
[00:06:49] region.
[00:06:58] Citizens of Israel protested against Benjamin Netanyahu
[00:07:01] demanding commissions of inquiry on the eve of the
[00:07:04] elections. Thousands of people protested in the streets of Tel Aviv amid a climate
[00:07:08] marked by the proximity of the general elections next October.
[00:07:12] and calls for
[00:07:14] demonstrations, in addition, the participants of these protests
[00:07:18] demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and denounced
[00:07:22] corrupt practices, this in the final stretch towards the elections
[00:07:25] scheduled for October 27 amid a profound debate on the
[00:07:29] responsibility of the executive in the events of October
[00:07:32] 7.
[00:07:40] This protest is against the government.
[00:07:42] As for who is responsible for the division, I can tell you
[00:07:46] what our position is. We believe that we must overthrow Netanyahu's
[00:07:49] government after 3 years of war and all the
[00:07:53] suffering it has inflicted, the killings and mass
[00:07:56] death in Gaza, the endless war that never
[00:08:00] ends. We need to build an alternative, we need to
[00:08:04] build a real alternative to their policies,
[00:08:07] occupation, the endless war, and the dominance of
[00:08:11] capital and the
[00:08:12] austerity borders.
[00:08:15] We have a corrupt government and the goal is to
[00:08:18] replace it, a government that refuses to take
[00:08:21] responsibility for its actions and its
[00:08:23] failures.
[00:08:27] The Iranian judiciary issued formal charges against
[00:08:30] 159 US and Israeli officials
[00:08:33] for the assassination of leader Aliiameney and 19 Iranian
[00:08:36] commanders. The entity's spokesperson Sejet Ali
[00:08:40] Casemi confirmed that senior political and military officials
[00:08:43] from the United States and the Israeli regime are facing an open
[00:08:47] investigation, of which 92 are American and
[00:08:50] 67 are Israeli. According to the spokesman, one of the legal
[00:08:54] files being processed before the Tehran Court seeks the
[00:08:57] claim for material and moral damages and a hearing date will
[00:09:01] soon be issued. He highlighted that the objective of the investigations is
[00:09:05] to document the allegations and evidence to advance the process
[00:09:09] of prosecuting and sentencing those responsible.
[00:09:21] The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, General
[00:09:25] Mohsen Rezaei, announced
[00:09:28] that Tehran conveyed to Washington seven demands to initiate a
[00:09:32] negotiation process. He also
[00:09:34] underlined that the Iranian message is clear and unequivocal and warned that
[00:09:38] if the United States wishes to exit the quagmire it
[00:09:41] itself created, it has no other alternative but to accept
[00:09:45] Iran's rights and conditions. Previously, Iranian Foreign Ministry
[00:09:48] spokesman Ismael Bagai declared on state television that
[00:09:52] Washington cannot talk about negotiations without
[00:09:55] Tehran's conditions being met. He pointed out that what Iran announced
[00:09:59] are, in reality, the same demands and foundations of the
[00:10:02] June 17 agreement, from which the US
[00:10:05] government unilaterally and
[00:10:08] unjustifiably withdrew. Likewise, the spokesman for the
[00:10:11] Iranian Foreign Ministry reiterated that Iran demands the
[00:10:15] total lifting of sanctions and the end of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports
[00:10:19] and vessels and emphasized that as long
[00:10:22] as that blockade persists, there can be no talk of ending
[00:10:25] the conflict or normalizing
[00:10:28] the situation.
[00:10:35] In Yemen, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Sanaa
[00:10:38] government denied attacks against civilians in Saudi
[00:10:41] territory and held the Saudi Arabian government's defense responsible
[00:10:45] for these events. The Ministry clarified that the casualties that the
[00:10:48] Saudi regime attributes to the Yemeni resistance
[00:10:51] are actually a consequence of the
[00:10:55] interceptions carried out by its own air defense
[00:10:58] systems. The diplomatic portfolio denounced that Riyadh
[00:11:01] deliberately carries out these interception
[00:11:04] operations over densely populated areas with the aim of
[00:11:08] causing the highest possible number of civilian casualties and then
[00:11:11] attributing them to the forces of Yemen. The Ministry stressed that
[00:11:15] the Yemeni armed forces have demonstrated over the last
[00:11:19] 12 years that their targets are military and oil installations
[00:11:22] that finance the aggression and not civilians or residential
[00:11:26] areas, furthermore, they concluded that Yemeni
[00:11:29] military operations are governed by religious,
[00:11:32] moral, and humanitarian principles, as confirmed by
[00:11:35] the reality on the
[00:11:36] ground.
[00:11:44] The Philippines hosted the 58th meeting of
[00:11:47] the ASEAN Economic Ministers, where they discussed
[00:11:50] issues of regional
[00:11:53] interest. The ASEAN economic ministers
[00:11:56] began a 4-day summit in Manila to define
[00:12:00] the roadmap for trade, investment, and digitalization of the regional
[00:12:04] bloc, led by the Philippine Trade Secretary.
[00:12:08] The ministerial meeting seeks to set the agenda for
[00:12:11] what the heads of state and government will evaluate
[00:12:15] in the upcoming month of November. The Secretary General of the organization,
[00:12:19] Ko King Hurn, highlighted the urgency of coordinating collective
[00:12:22] responses to shield Southeast Asian countries
[00:12:25] from the impacts derived from the West Asian
[00:12:29] crisis.
[00:12:37] In China, from the Tai Yuan Satellite Launch Center,
[00:12:40] new satellites have been launched in the northern
[00:12:44] province of Shanxi. The center
[00:12:48] reported that this launch was mission or was
[00:12:51] flight number 668 of the Long
[00:12:53] March carrier rocket series. The rocket is a two-stage,
[00:12:57] liquid-fueled launch vehicle with a payload capacity
[00:13:01] that reaches 1.3 tons in a
[00:13:04] 700 km sun-synchronous
[00:13:07] orbit. On board are four synthetic
[00:13:11] aperture radar satellites developed by the private
[00:13:15] satellite manufacturer Galaxy Space, based in
[00:13:18] Beijing, and they indicated that they were equipped with intelligent
[00:13:22] payloads.
[00:14:26] We continue with more. In Colombia, 15 active forest
[00:14:29] fires were reported amid the current drought season.
[00:14:33] The National Unit for Disaster Risk Management confirmed that
[00:14:37] the national territory woke up with 15 ongoing forest fires
[00:14:41] and nine more under control, which
[00:14:44] impact regions such as Tolima, Cundinamarca, Valle del Cauca,
[00:14:48] Cauca, Huila, and Nariño. Tolima continues to be
[00:14:51] the most affected area, harboring more than half of the active incidents
[00:14:55] with emergencies registered in several localities. On the other hand, the
[00:14:59] entities warned that these contingencies are
[00:15:02] a consequence of the El Niño phenomenon, high temperatures,
[00:15:05] and fires caused by humans. In turn, the emergency
[00:15:09] keeps a close watch on the low levels of the
[00:15:12] Cauca and Magdalena
[00:15:14] rivers.
[00:15:23] Indeed, several departments of...
[00:15:26] are suffering the effects of the super El Niño phenomenon
[00:15:29] the scarcity of precipitation.
[00:15:32] Departments such as Boyacá, Atlántico, and César reported
[00:15:35] crop losses, water growth, and
[00:15:38] impact on their rivers. In the case of
[00:15:41] Puerto Boyacá, the Magdalena River lost up to
[00:15:44] 80% of its flow, negatively impacting
[00:15:47] fishermen and river transport. Specialized
[00:15:51] teams are fighting the forest fires
[00:15:54] caused by the climatic phenomenon, which could extend
[00:15:58] until the third month of
[00:16:00] 2027.
[00:16:09] In Ecuador, the forest fire in Cerro Casitagua reignited,
[00:16:12] fanned by gusts and changes in wind
[00:16:16] direction. Although climatic conditions and difficult terrain
[00:16:19] complicate the work, emergency teams remain deployed to
[00:16:23] contain the advance of the flames. The fire reached its
[00:16:26] third day, and so far the capital municipality estimates between 100 and 200 hectares
[00:16:30] of affected vegetation. Residents of Quito
[00:16:33] report that air quality is deficient due to the
[00:16:36] fire.
[00:16:44] Moving on to other topics, in Venezuela, a memorandum of understanding was signed
[00:16:48] between PDVSA authorities and the French company Total
[00:16:51] Energies, at the Miraflores Palace. The acting president of
[00:16:55] Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, held a meeting with executives of the
[00:16:58] French company Total Energies, accompanied by the
[00:17:02] Minister of Hydrocarbons, Paula Enao, and the president of
[00:17:05] PDVSA, Héctor Obregón. The strategic cooperation in hydrocarbons
[00:17:09] with the French oil giant, present in 130
[00:17:12] countries, is part of the new organic law on
[00:17:15] hydrocarbons approved at the beginning of the year. The
[00:17:19] acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, reiterated that in Venezuela there are
[00:17:23] reliable legal conditions to attract new
[00:17:26] investments in the context of economic recovery
[00:17:29] and the energy alliance with international
[00:17:32] companies.
[00:17:40] In Argentina, the power distribution company Edesur
[00:17:43] confirmed the restoration of the electricity supply
[00:17:46] after a high-voltage system failure. The company
[00:17:50] reported the complete normalization of the electricity supply in the metropolitan
[00:17:53] area of Buenos Aires, after a failure registered in the interconnected
[00:17:57] system. The service interruption simultaneously affected
[00:18:01] thousands of users in various neighborhoods in the northern and
[00:18:05] southern areas of the urban conglomerate. It also
[00:18:07] confirmed that the fault was repaired after
[00:18:11] 9:30 PM local time, restoring full operability
[00:18:14] in the concession network.
[00:18:27] More than 350 trade union, student, social, and
[00:18:31] cultural organizations mobilized in the "March of Anger" in Buenos Aires, the
[00:18:34] capital of Argentina, and 30 other cities in the country, in rejection of President
[00:18:38] Javier Milei's economic plan. The protest
[00:18:41] day, promoted by left-wing leaders, seeks to
[00:18:44] articulate a massive response against President Milei's
[00:18:47] economic plan and promote the call for a general strike
[00:18:51] without waiting solely for future electoral processes.
[00:18:55] Figures from the artistic and cultural field, including musician
[00:18:58] Miguel Cantilo, supported the
[00:19:01] concentrations replicated in provinces such as Córdoba, Santa
[00:19:05] Fe, Mendoza, Salta, and Neuquén. The day
[00:19:10] the streets and to deepen coercive measures against the policies
[00:19:14] of the national
[00:19:15] government.
[00:19:23] it made everyone lose their smile, that we are increasingly
[00:19:27] sad, increasingly sick, that people are increasingly
[00:19:30] without food, without work, and without
[00:19:33] well-being, because anger is not making ends meet,
[00:19:36] anger is
[00:19:46] Anger is that now they disguise themselves as sovereign
[00:19:49] when they are the ones who have handed over all our territories, and that is what
[00:19:53] is reflected today from the different sectors. They are taking away
[00:19:56] our money, which does not go to the places where it should
[00:20:00] go, it does not. A state
[00:20:03] that is not present, what do you want it for? Why do we pay
[00:20:06] these scoundrels salaries? It's
[00:20:10] a
[00:20:15] horror. And the Caribbean nations are developing a multifaceted
[00:20:18] action plan to persuade the United Kingdom to discuss a
[00:20:22] reparations pact for decades of slavery. Regional
[00:20:25] leaders hope that London will agree to negotiations at the
[00:20:29] next Commonwealth summit at the UN. In case they
[00:20:32] continue to refuse, they will present the case to international
[00:20:35] tribunals. Earlier this month, a spokesperson for Prime
[00:20:39] Minister Andy Burnham reiterated the British government's
[00:20:43] long-standing position of not paying any reparations. In
[00:20:46] March of this year, 123 nations voted in favor
[00:20:50] of a historic UN resolution that described slavery as the most
[00:20:54] serious crime against
[00:20:55] humanity.
[00:21:22] As every year, the United Nations headquarters welcomes world
[00:21:26] leaders to its high-level week, amidst the international debate on the
[00:21:30] transformation of multilateral organizations so that they
[00:21:33] act in favor of the majorities that clamor for equity in decision-making
[00:21:36] and truly influence respect for the self-determination
[00:21:39] of peoples and international law. Telesur
[00:21:43] is providing special coverage of this important event with our special
[00:21:47] envoy Jorge Gestoso and our correspondents
[00:21:50] in the United States, José Leveña and Henry
[00:21:54] Camelo. First session of the United
[00:21:57] Nations General Assembly 2026, through our
[00:22:01] multiplatform, only on
[00:22:04] Telesur.
[00:22:09] We are not content with the
[00:22:12] the trending topic that others set. Here
[00:22:16] we analyze the real impact of what happens in the world
[00:22:20] and on your screen. From Monday to Friday, we have planned
[00:22:23] to dismantle the informational matrix and everything that is
