How do we [00:01:42] relate? [00:01:44] For me, culture is a set of beliefs, of [00:01:47] customs, what we share daily everywhere. [00:01:51] This, of course, connects us and relates us. [00:01:54] To recognize ourselves, to recognize the [00:01:57] other and to realize that that is what we have in [00:02:01] common, like for example communication, [00:02:04] religion, art, we [00:02:07] relate through culture, from Monday [00:02:11] to Friday in we are only on [00:02:13] Telesur, [00:02:16] connect with the pulse of the world in real [00:02:18] time, [00:02:23] spaces where the context behind each [00:02:26] headline is revealed. [00:02:34] Digital connection, economic morning impact, open [00:02:38] agenda, 360 morning [00:02:42] report, global connection, the [00:02:44] map, daily topics, 360 [00:02:48] stellar report, economic stellar impact, [00:02:52] central edition, [00:02:54] the world from the south, I'll tell you, we [00:02:59] traffic accidents during what take you beyond the news. We take you to the events that set the [00:03:02] trend, because Telesur always gives more. [00:03:39] These are the main headlines at this hour: Russia [00:03:42] closes electoral colleges, after 3 [00:03:45] days of voting marked by drone [00:03:47] network that fights against attacks from [00:03:48] Ukraine. [00:03:53] The Yemeni army states that it will respond even more [00:03:57] forcefully to any military escalation that... against the [00:04:01] security of the [00:04:01] country, [00:04:06] this is a forest fire, Imbabura volcano, north [00:04:09] of Ecuador, devastates 270 hectares. [00:04:35] In Russia, the voting process concluded in the western [00:04:37] extreme to elect a new parliament, which [00:04:41] until now from Moscow expands the [00:04:43] information. [00:04:47] Greetings from Moscow, dear friends, half an hour ago with the [00:04:51] voting in the western extreme of the country, [00:04:55] works, for example, on the topic of the Kaliningrad region, Russia concluded its parliamentary [00:04:58] elections that during. [00:05:00] for 3 days from September 18 to 20, citizens [00:05:04] elected the 450 deputies of the State Duma, which [00:05:07] is the lower house of parliament, 225 [00:05:11] party lists and 225 [00:05:14] by single-member districts. The [00:05:18] voting took place in the context of the special military [00:05:21] operation in Ukraine, the growing tensions with [00:05:24] the West and allegations of foreign [00:05:27] interference. Among the main participating [00:05:30] parties are United Russia, the Communist Party, the [00:05:33] Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, Fair Russia and [00:05:37] New People. Of the total electorate of more [00:05:41] than 111 million registered citizens, [00:05:45] voter turnout was about 57%, according to data from [00:05:49] the Central Electoral Commission, this exceeds [00:05:52] citizen participation in the last two parliamentary [00:05:56] elections in the years 2021 and [00:06:00] 2016. According to the information coming [00:06:03] from the embassies, the vote of Russians abroad [00:06:06] also exceeded all expectations. [00:06:10] This morning, Moscow authorities [00:06:14] reported that more than 1600 Ukrainian [00:06:17] drones were intercepted in the country only [00:06:20] during this last night, including about [00:06:24] 450 drones that were heading towards the [00:06:27] capital. In the Moscow region, three [00:06:31] fatal victims and damage to a refinery and residential [00:06:35] buildings were registered. Despite this, [00:06:38] the electoral process was not interrupted anywhere. [00:06:43] According to the Central Electoral Commission, [00:06:46] 1126 foreign observers [00:06:49] and electoral experts from 133 [00:06:53] countries and 13 international [00:06:56] organizations participated in these elections. [00:06:59] The figure was presented by the president of the [00:07:02] Central Electoral Commission, Ella Panfilova, as a [00:07:05] record for Russian elections. The [00:07:09] counting of votes has already begun and in the coming hours [00:07:12] we will have the first results of this election, [00:07:16] from Moscow for Telesur, [00:07:17] Oleg Yasinski. [00:07:22] We now analyze with Ana Teresa Gutiérrez del Sit in, [00:07:26] internationalist researcher from the Autonomous [00:07:29] Metropolitan University. Welcome. [00:07:33] Thank you very much, Marcela, a pleasure to be [00:07:35] with you. Let's talk about this anti-Russian [00:07:39] semantics in Latin America that falls apart when we see that the [00:07:43] participation in these elections marks a [00:07:45] record, [00:07:48] definitely and it's no coincidence, [00:07:52] as we know, all Latin American [00:07:56] countries receive news [00:07:58] through, I mean, except Cuba, right, [00:08:02] they receive it through Western agencies, [00:08:06] and well, in that sense, Telesur also [00:08:09] has a line. [00:08:12] Pending, so that's why they try [00:08:15] to demonize Russia all the time and the [00:08:19] processes that occur there, however, [00:08:22] we are seeing that there [00:08:26] is a really a field where the [00:08:29] elections, despite everything, are being [00:08:32] carried out successfully. [00:08:35] Let's talk about how peace can be sought [00:08:39] by protecting territory by exercising national sovereignty. and above [00:08:43] all by opening the polls, because that is the formula that President [00:08:46] Putin has chosen for the sovereignty and growth of the country, [00:08:50] Ana, well, it is very [00:08:54] significant that the region, in the Donets [00:08:57] region, these [00:09:00] republics, Lugansk and Donets, where [00:09:03] these territories have been [00:09:06] really assimilated at the [00:09:09] request of the same population. referendums, [00:09:13] the elections are being held and [00:09:17] under a series of attacks [00:09:20] from the West, we see how Ukraine, which [00:09:24] is the well, the [00:09:26] proxy of the West [00:09:30] is sending drones and [00:09:34] quite a few drones to Russia and yet [00:09:38] everything is taking place in a [00:09:41] relatively calm environment [00:09:44] despite the attacks also on a [00:09:47] refinery that [00:09:50] the West would like to turn [00:09:54] into chaos and abandon the electoral [00:09:58] climate. It is understood, Ana, here come two [00:10:01] facts that are closely linked precisely to the [00:10:05] development of Russia, on the one hand we have [00:10:08] that the United Nations is in session. [00:10:12] Iran is at the core of the agenda, Hormuz is at the core of the [00:10:15] agenda, therefore energy is at the center and then [00:10:19] we also have to say that the [00:10:22] issue of the high price of crude oil, dominating all [00:10:26] scenarios and overthrowing all geopolitical [00:10:30] chess, also has in Russia a [00:10:33] great, great geopolitical actor, so two [00:10:37] facts, one same current situation, how [00:10:40] is Russia positioned today on that [00:10:42] map, well yes, [00:10:45] really [00:10:47] eh, the United States has a very difficult situation [00:10:51] because the Strait of Hormuz is closed as you [00:10:55] say Marcela also the Strait of [00:10:58] Bab, the Mandeb, which has skyrocketed the [00:11:02] costs of crude oil that [00:11:05] was exported from Saudi Arabia [00:11:08] and Russia, being a great [00:11:12] producer of energy, [00:11:16] let's see if we compare what quantity of [00:11:19] energy, gold, rare earths and other [00:11:23] series of riches that are [00:11:26] much sought after by [00:11:29] the West to face China in a [00:11:32] final battle, weakening Russia through [00:11:35] this conflict promoted [00:11:38] by NATO, by the United States and Western [00:11:42] Europe, well Russia plays a crucial [00:11:45] role because [00:11:47] it is an [00:11:50] ally or a country and we [00:11:54] cannot say a military alliance, but it is [00:11:57] a strategic ally of Iran, so [00:12:01] this has really favored the [00:12:04] fact that both countries have [00:12:08] been cooperating, we know that the Iranian [00:12:11] Shaheds have been provided [00:12:15] to Russia and Russia already has its own [00:12:19] Gerans, but this alliance is causing [00:12:22] the Western plans of... destruction [00:12:25] of Iran and destruction of [00:12:29] Russia into several small republics, a plan that [00:12:33] is quite well known, if we look on [00:12:35] the internet, on many sites, [00:12:39] there is the map that the West would like [00:12:43] Russia to have, a series of weak republics that [00:12:46] could be handled at will and that this [00:12:49] is not happening due to the [00:12:53] leadership of the Russian government [00:12:56] currently, which despite the war, has [00:12:59] held elections, while as we [00:13:03] have also seen, Volodymyr Zelensky has [00:13:07] become a great dictator, where [00:13:10] there will be no more elections in Ukraine, so there [00:13:14] is the contrast and it completely [00:13:17] refutes what Western media claim [00:13:20] that Russia is a [00:13:23] dictatorship, that [00:13:26] eh the government of Vladimir Putin must be persecuted [00:13:30] and so on so that the [00:13:34] Latin American public opinion has the [00:13:37] vision that Russia is really an [00:13:41] inoperative dictatorship and that it must be destroyed because it [00:13:44] has attacked Ukraine, I think those [00:13:48] arguments fall apart with [00:13:51] everything that is being seen with... [00:13:55] Zelensky has truly become a dictator, how [00:13:59] he recruits Ukrainian men to go, or rather, [00:14:03] to take them to war, in an [00:14:07] atrocious way, they are stolen [00:14:10] from the streets in front of their families [00:14:13] and well, Zelensky [00:14:15] does not care about the lives of Ukrainians, [00:14:19] we have seen that they do not even collect the [00:14:22] bodies that are sent from. [00:14:25] Because no, unfortunately this situation, they do [00:14:29] not want to pay pensions to their families [00:14:31] and well, all this must [00:14:35] be analyzed and I think that in this sense, Telesur's [00:14:38] role is vital to have [00:14:41] another vision of international events [00:14:44] that are presented to us with a biased [00:14:47] perspective from the West, Marcela, there is something very important [00:14:51] here and thank you for that reference to Telesur's work. [00:14:55] When talking about Russia, from this Western side, [00:14:59] there is always talk of its military capacity, its geopolitical [00:15:02] capacity, its energy reference, how things [00:15:06] move in the political sphere, but little is [00:15:09] said, for example, of what Russia contributes to the world in [00:15:13] the areas of health, it has a vaccine that it has made [00:15:16] available to the peoples, it already [00:15:20] the fight against cancer, it also has technology [00:15:23] transfer of knowledge. [00:15:25] It maintains spatial development, there are a lot [00:15:29] of things here that are also clearly on the board of the [00:15:33] Russians themselves who, when it comes to voting, say: well, [00:15:36] let's continue to give... a vote of confidence to Vladimir Putin, [00:15:40] because this is what we want for the country, [00:15:44] Ana, indeed, well, [00:15:47] Marcela, let's just remember [00:15:49] during the pandemic, eh, despite the fact that Latin [00:15:52] American countries had bought [00:15:56] vaccines, well, I'm talking about the case of [00:15:59] Mexico, it had bought the AstraZeneca [00:16:02] vaccine, the West kept the vaccines [00:16:06] and that's it. with more than what was needed [00:16:09] and they were no longer delivered during the Covid [00:16:13] era to, for example, Mexico, so President [00:16:17] López Obrador spoke [00:16:20] Vladimir Putin and Mexico received [00:16:23] the Sputnik vaccine, [00:16:27] and yes, indeed, now that they have this vaccine against [00:16:31] cancer, we see that Russia [00:16:35] is generously. [00:16:38] eh granting these [00:16:41] new ways to prevent diseases [00:16:43] and and well also [00:16:47] let's see the meanness of the World [00:16:51] Health Organization that did not want to register the [00:16:54] Russian vaccine at the time for COVID [00:16:58] because they would lose [00:17:02] profits and for the Western [00:17:04] pharmaceutical industry we know that what matters [00:17:07] is profits only and in that sense [00:17:11] well Russia's role has always been to [00:17:15] cooperate with countries that do not have these [00:17:19] advanced resources to create their own vaccines, that [00:17:22] is what I could say Marcela, a big greeting Ana, [00:17:25] thank you very much for your knowledge and this time, thank you very [00:17:29] much Marcela, a pleasure to collaborate [00:17:33] with you, until next time, look. [00:17:36] This other information takes us to Germany, [00:17:39] the people in that country continue to exercise their right to vote [00:17:43] in these regional elections in Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, [00:17:46] according to the governing body, until midday, Berlin [00:17:50] had a participation rate of 27.9%, [00:17:52] notably exceeding the level registered in the [00:17:56] 2023 parliamentary elections, 4 million voters will [00:18:00] exercise their right to vote amidst a close dispute [00:18:03] between parties. Christian Democratic Union. and [00:18:07] the Left Party, the state, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, [00:18:11] there the elections are taking place [00:18:14] with 40.7% participation, the [00:18:17] Social Democrats and Alternative for Germany [00:18:20] are at the top of the [00:18:22] polls. [00:18:27] And in Spain this happened, more than 200 entities [00:18:31] marched this Sunday through the streets of Barcelona against [00:18:34] the expansion of El Prat airport, they denounce [00:18:37] that the project would make the climate crisis, mass [00:18:40] tourism, the destruction of protected natural spaces. [00:18:43] Let's move on. [00:18:48] The mobilization called by more than 200 social, [00:18:52] neighborhood and environmental entities marched this [00:18:55] Sunday through the center of Barcelona, against the expansion [00:18:58] of El Prat airport. The proposal comes [00:19:02] days after the Spanish government approved the first [00:19:05] investments of the project that foresees the third runway, the [00:19:09] closest to the sea, to allow intercontinental flights, [00:19:12] its promoters present it as an economic opportunity, those [00:19:16] who oppose it as a threat. ah, we are here [00:19:19] representing the international network, which is a global [00:19:25] the expansion and growth of the aviation [00:19:28] industry, and we do it for different reasons, one has to do [00:19:32] with the climate emergency we live in, in which the planet [00:19:36] is... exceeding the planetary [00:19:39] limits to sustain life on Earth and [00:19:43] at the same time also due to the direct impacts that the aviation industry [00:19:46] and its expansion have on cities, on the communities [00:19:50] where we live, ah we see how they take away [00:19:53] housing, the right to affordable housing. For those who defend the [00:19:57] expansion, like the Catalan employers' association Foment del Treball, [00:20:00] they say it is necessary to connect Barcelona with the world [00:20:04] and multiply intercontinental destinations, but those [00:20:08] who oppose it highlight the environmental cost of the project, a study [00:20:11] by the Desca observatory calculates that the expansion [00:20:14] would increase polluting emissions by 8% in [00:20:18] 2030 and up to 22% in 2033. [00:20:21] There has been a struggle for several years against [00:20:24] the works they want to do with the expansion of Barcelona [00:20:28] airport, not taking into account not only to increase [00:20:31] tourism but also to destroy ecological [00:20:34] areas and neighborhoods, [00:20:38] well today we are again to say that the [00:20:42] city of Barcelona, we [00:20:44] do not want that expansion and we want there not to be [00:20:48] so much tourist flow because it causes pollution [00:20:52] with climate change there, we [00:20:55] have the right to a dignified life and without [00:20:58] destroying the natural environment, no, the activists [00:21:02] also highlight the impact that the airport expansion would [00:21:06] have on the biodiversity of the area, as the third runway [00:21:10] would extend over the wetlands of the Llobregat delta, a protected [00:21:14] natural area and a key stop for migratory birds, among those [00:21:18] who marched there were also [00:21:20] groups for the defense of animals the expansion of the airport [00:21:23] not only means pollution for all people, but also [00:21:27] involves the animals that live in the Llobregat [00:21:30] delta, we have to remember that it is a [00:21:33] protected area with a number of birds that are in [00:21:37] danger of extinction and that is why we are here today [00:21:41] also because we oppose this expansion of this [00:21:44] airport that we do not need at all. The future [00:21:47] of the project is now in the hands of the European Commission, [00:21:51] which will have the last word, meanwhile, the [00:21:55] street has already given its, neither now nor ever, Andrés [00:21:58] Flores, Telesur, Barcelona. Let's also see how the armed [00:22:02] forces of Yemen threaten with harsher responses to any [00:22:06] military escalation that threatens national security. The [00:22:09] government declared that its forces will not hesitate, I mean, [00:22:13] to inflict harder blows against Saudi Arabia to [00:22:16] curb any intensification of the [00:22:19] conflict. Saudi aggressions with combat aircraft [00:22:22] demonstrate aggressive behavior that shows no [00:22:25] respect for the lives of innocent people. Yemen advances [00:22:29] its military operations as a response to [00:22:32] these attacks and land, air and sea blockades [00:22:35] that Riyadh exercises over the territory of [00:22:39] Yemen. [00:22:46] Let's change, let's now look at information from Venezuela, a country [00:22:50] that registered a 53% decrease in the country [00:22:53] risk indicator during this year 20-26 [00:22:57] amidst oil expectations, an economic [00:23:00] behavior that is directly linked to the [00:23:03] flexibilization of hydrocarbon licenses, new [00:23:06] oil agreements, a reincorporation of sovereign [00:23:09] bonds and PDVSA in the [00:23:12] international liquidity indexes, this evolution [00:23:16] gives continuity to this downward trend observed [00:23:19] in 2025, a period in which the indicator fell [00:23:23] from levels above 24,900 basis [00:23:26] points to close near [00:23:28] 12,739 points, the value of the [00:23:32] securities reflects a speculative increase in the [00:23:35] international market and expectations of asset [00:23:38] recovery in the long [00:23:39] term. [00:23:46] Health workers in Ecuador marched to reject the [00:23:50] statements of President Noboa, they accused him [00:23:53] specifically of the medical guild of prescribing [00:23:57] medicines that are not available in public hospitals to [00:24:01] favor certain laboratories, doctors came out to respond [00:24:04] to Noboa and for example Guayas, the Provincial [00:24:07] Medical College says that the shortage should not [00:24:11] be attributed to the professionals who are the ones [00:24:14] who treat patients and prescribe medicines, but to the [00:24:18] storage and distribution of those medicines that [00:24:21] is the responsibility of the public health system, despite the [00:24:25] fact that the government bought medical supplies in 20-25, [00:24:29] some of these processes have been delayed and for this [00:24:32] reason there is still a shortage, the guild explained, drugs [00:24:36] cannot always be substituted because [00:24:38] each treatment depends on the disease, on the clinical condition [00:24:42] of the patient, therefore it is necessary to request [00:24:45] in writing the provision of medicines that guarantee public health.
