[00:00:00] the tourist [00:00:01] The Special Rapporteur of perspective, let's move towards a [00:00:04] political and social perception of new, [00:00:07] green destination, every [00:00:09] Wednesday, only on Telesu. [00:00:33] effects, given this, the authorities Happy day, what a pleasure to accompany you here on Telesur Noticias, for the next [00:00:36] half hour, I'm Jerani Flores, we start immediately. [00:00:39] to the continuity of Venezuela reaches three years [00:00:44] of consecutive economic growth [00:00:48] and ECLAC estimates that it will close [00:00:51] 2026 at [00:00:52] 6.5%. [00:00:57] According to the UN, around 5,000 women and girls in Gaza [00:01:01] have been victims of murder or, failing that, have been [00:01:04] seriously [00:01:07] suspended today Saturday from injured. Climate crisis generates storms [00:01:11] and floods in countries of the American [00:01:14] and Asian continents. [00:01:23] Venezuela reaches 3 years of consecutive [00:01:26] economic growth and ECLAC estimates that it will close [00:01:29] 2026 at more than [00:01:32] 6.5%, one of the sectors that is [00:01:35] being renewed is the electrical sector, the report with Madelen [00:01:38] García, [00:01:41] spare parts continue to arrive for the different thermoelectric power plants in [00:01:45] Venezuela, [00:01:48] motor and lubrication pump for the generator to keep the [00:01:51] oil in the generator as such. Engineers do not stop [00:01:54] working, they change the old parts for the [00:01:57] new ones. [00:02:00] affected several sectors of Little by little they are reactivating the equipment to generate [00:02:03] megawatts, this is done by Venezuelan private companies together [00:02:06] with the workers of the national electricity system. We are [00:02:10] checking and verifying each signal and each equipment, carrying out maintenance and [00:02:14] adjustments to leave them in operational conditions. [00:02:17] We will incorporate megawatts into the system to improve [00:02:21] the system conditions, improve [00:02:25] the extreme right and the national electricity system, that's what it's about, if we are recovering, of course [00:02:28] we are. The goal is to recover the electrical sector [00:02:32] in the medium term, which was affected by the illegal sanctions from the United [00:02:36] States by not being able to have access to original [00:02:39] spare parts, waiting for the spare parts, the [00:02:42] spare part has arrived, let's go forward, my dear, when it's 24 hours, we give it [00:02:46] 24 hours, the rest every day, from 7 to 7 at [00:02:49] night, from 7 to 9, from 7 to 10, aha, we have to [00:02:53] give it, but for that we are looking for that, [00:02:56] that the country and building and the things that... [00:03:00] we are lending, we have a better functioning with electricity, [00:03:03] there we go little by little, the earthquake affected 800 [00:03:07] MB and from those 600 were recovered, [00:03:10] three months after the seismic doublet that stabilized [00:03:13] electricity mainly in three states in the central west [00:03:17] of the country, trust in us because we are [00:03:21] guarantors of the national electrical system, we are [00:03:24] focused, committed and even [00:03:27] in love with what the electrical system is and its good [00:03:30] functioning, its good service, we are service [00:03:33] providers with quality, with [00:03:36] vocation and well, with love for Venezuela too so [00:03:39] that Venezuela grows and [00:03:42] Venezuela grew for the third consecutive year despite the [00:03:46] difficulties, dialogue with private companies and consensus [00:03:49] allowed the country to be placed in first place [00:03:52] in Latin America and has remained so, this speaks [00:03:56] volumes of the effort of what we are capable of, I always say [00:04:00] that we are capable as Venezuelans and you as [00:04:03] entrepreneurs in the most difficult [00:04:07] environment of economic blockade, of financial [00:04:10] blockade, you gave and have given your best [00:04:14] to move forward, the acting president [00:04:16] Dels Rodríguez announced that a reform of the [00:04:19] electricity system law is coming soon, [00:04:22] soon and when I say [00:04:25] Sofia Caltor, head of soon I am referring to the next days, [00:04:27] the humanitarian action section in weeks, but it will not pass this year. A reform of the [00:04:31] national electricity system law, of the electrical service [00:04:34] that allows private participation [00:04:36] in the processes [00:04:40] participate in of generation, transmission, distribution, [00:04:43] this is something that we have also been discussing with the private [00:04:46] sector. In addition to the electrical sector, Venezuela has a clear [00:04:50] growth path in other sectors such as the [00:04:53] petrochemical, oil with 61 agreements signed with [00:04:56] different countries in the world. [00:05:03] In Colombia, a bill seeks to sanction the practice [00:05:07] of influencing democracy through the massive [00:05:10] use of social networks with fake profiles [00:05:13] to influence the [00:05:16] the population. Esteban Garabito [00:05:18] expands. [00:05:21] In Colombia, a bill intends to penalize the practice of creating [00:05:25] fake accounts on different digital social networks, which [00:05:29] are used to influence public opinion regarding political [00:05:32] and electoral issues, which negatively affects the country's democracy. [00:05:36] They are false agents created through a systematization. [00:05:40] to create a screen of [00:05:44] simulations around the participation of people who [00:05:47] are generally non-existent, these bots [00:05:50] not only fulfill functions of inflating, if you will, [00:05:54] theories, information, etc., but also of public [00:05:57] harassment and even banning of information, that is to say, they [00:06:00] can propel the algorithm so that information [00:06:03] is seen through communication networks, they can also [00:06:07] bury it, that is to say that they handle [00:06:11] the search terms that today [00:06:14] generate the intermediation channels in public [00:06:17] information. The incorporation of language models and artificial [00:06:21] intelligence has made bots much more difficult to detect. Today [00:06:25] they are capable of sustaining fluid conversations and creating [00:06:28] convincing content in real time, influencing [00:06:32] public chats on social networks, but they do this by [00:06:35] hundreds or thousands. This is known as bot farms [00:06:39] created and operated by people paid with the. [00:06:50] to control and penalize the misuse of artificial intelligence in electoral campaigns, it is a reality, it [00:06:53] has not only happened in Colombia, [00:06:57] in Bolivia, in Chile, it is happening right now in Brazil in Lula's [00:07:01] electoral campaign, that is, in an uncontrolled, [00:07:05] illegal way, [00:07:07] bot farms are being used that [00:07:11] pretend to be people and in an exponential, [00:07:15] algorithmic way, they press on the [00:07:18] community and digital conversation to influence [00:07:22] voters, and that needs to be controlled, democracies [00:07:25] are in danger, nothing more [00:07:29] and nothing less than the possibility of uncontrolled [00:07:32] manipulation makes citizens end up making [00:07:35] misinformed decisions. [00:07:38] Jurists raise the need to develop this bill. [00:07:42] so that there is a criminal sanction, capable of turning this practice into [00:07:46] a digital crime that affects democracy in Colombia [00:07:50] and that even puts the lives of candidates [00:07:53] at risk in electoral times. That is why [00:07:56] this initiative is welcome. What would I add to this [00:07:59] initiative? The need to establish [00:08:02] obligations for multinational platforms, [00:08:05] that manage social networks, [00:08:09] so that they contribute to preventing this type of. [00:08:12] abusive use of social networks, Latin America [00:08:16] has been suffering in recent decades from this [00:08:20] type of political campaigns [00:08:22] facilitated by transnational money, corrupt, [00:08:26] money laundering, by interests also linked to [00:08:29] techno-fascism, and therefore we must [00:08:32] prevent, we must protect [00:08:36] citizen freedoms, the right to be properly [00:08:39] informed in a political campaign to elect the best [00:08:43] options and not to elect those [00:08:46] people who have more power to manipulate [00:08:50] social networks. The need for this law is urgent in times [00:08:54] when there are doubts about how politics is being done on social [00:08:57] networks, with the danger of being scenarios for leading masses of [00:09:01] voters down the path of political deception through dishonest marketing. [00:09:05] Esteban Gravito Poveda, Telesur, Bogotá, [00:09:09] Colombia. Now we establish contact. with our [00:09:12] colleague Isa García, who is in Mexico with Mónica [00:09:16] Valiente, one of the seven coordinators of President Lula [00:09:20] da Silva's electoral campaign. The meeting is [00:09:23] held within the framework of the International Congress of the Workers' [00:09:26] Party. [00:09:31] At this time we are going to talk to a very [00:09:34] important person in Brazil, she is Mónica [00:09:38] Valente, she is one of the seven coordinators of the [00:09:41] electoral campaign of President Lula [00:09:44] da Silva and I want to tell you that she has passed through [00:09:47] Mexico for only a few hours to [00:09:52] what is the international congress of the Labor Party, [00:09:56] a super important event for the left [00:09:59] worldwide. And well, Mónica, what a pleasure to be able [00:10:03] to talk to you and for you to tell us how the [00:10:06] campaign is going, how they are preparing for this [00:10:09] second electoral round? [00:11:25] in employment and everything else, but they managed, they managed [00:11:28] to reverse those 3 and a half years, all that had been thrown [00:11:32] back, that's right, but very harshly because look, [00:11:36] a deconstruction of the state [00:11:38] apparatus requires a lot of effort [00:11:42] from the government also under a [00:11:46] congress quite hostile to President Lula's [00:11:49] government, but we achieved many things and approved very [00:11:53] important things in those 3 years of government, President [00:11:57] Lula in the 22 campaign said I'm going to [00:12:00] put the lives of the poor and [00:12:04] the poor in the public budget [00:12:07] and I'm going to make the rich, the [00:12:10] very rich pay taxes because they didn't [00:12:13] pay and we managed to approve a tax reform [00:12:17] in the country in the same sense, so it's also [00:12:21] historical, historical, a tax reform [00:12:25] that has been discussed in the country for 40 years and we managed [00:12:28] to approve it, in addition to things like health, [00:12:32] education, eh, a scholarship so that children [00:12:35] could continue studying, not having to leave school [00:12:38] to work and help their families' income, a [00:12:42] lot of things, but we know that this is not enough, [00:12:46] because the cultural war of [00:12:50] media, cultural that uses [00:12:53] the media and social networks is a very [00:12:56] tough war where they have many more weapons, much more [00:13:00] money and much more capacity to influence, that's [00:13:04] why we are fighting a very tough battle, but I have [00:13:08] confidence in the struggle of the people and we will win these [00:13:12] elections, ready to win then, ready to win [00:13:15] with Lula president, [00:13:18] thank you, thank you to Mónica Valente for these very important [00:13:22] statements. A few weeks before the [00:13:25] second electoral round in [00:13:28] Brazil, I return the microphones to Caracas, [00:13:31] Venezuela, this is a report by Isa García and Yunus, [00:13:35] correspondent in Turkey, [00:13:38] thanks to Isa, to you, to Mónica, to [00:13:41] Yunus for this interview, let's take a break and we'll be [00:13:45] back. [00:14:32] Back here on Telesur Noticias with more information, the [00:14:36] United Nations Organization warns that around 50 [00:14:40] thousand women and girls in Gaza have been victims of [00:14:43] murder or have been seriously injured. [00:14:47] The UN Women spokesperson, [00:14:52] the city of Geneva, presented the report which details that more than [00:14:56] 38,000 women in Gaza have been executed [00:14:59] and another 11,700 [00:15:02] suffer serious injuries which, in many cases, have caused [00:15:06] permanent disability. This happened in the first two [00:15:10] years of the beginning of the Zionist genocide in [00:15:13] October 2023, although since the beginning of the ceasefire, the [00:15:16] figure continues to expand. In addition to this, [00:15:20] nearly 1 million women and girls have been [00:15:23] displaced from their homes or live in [00:15:27] tents amidst the ruins of their [00:15:30] homes. [00:15:39] the United Nations for the occupied Palestinian [00:15:41] territories, Francesca Albanese, warned that the [00:15:45] explosive power of Israeli bombardments on the [00:15:49] Gaza Strip over the last 3 years [00:15:52] is equivalent to six nuclear bombs, calling the current [00:15:55] humanitarian crisis a slow death process for the [00:15:59] civilian population. Albanese denounced the massive destruction of [00:16:03] infrastructure, the collapse of the health system and [00:16:07] the... spread of diseases and malnutrition, also [00:16:10] noting that around 1.8 million [00:16:13] Palestinians are displaced and confined in less [00:16:16] than 30% of the territory. Given the lack of [00:16:20] effective international support and the [00:16:22] insufficient entry of humanitarian aid, the [00:16:26] official urged the global community to take [00:16:29] urgent measures to stop the extreme suffering and continuous [00:16:33] displacement suffered by the inhabitants of the [00:16:36] Palestinian Enclave. [00:16:44] This Saturday, United States military forces attacked [00:16:47] in the Gulf of Oman, the commercial vessel Ocean [00:16:50] Molica, flying the Panamanian flag after its [00:16:54] departure from an Iranian port. According to the United [00:16:57] States Central Command, the attack disabled the [00:17:00] propulsion system of the vessel, which [00:17:02] allegedly attempted to evade the naval blockade against [00:17:06] Iran. In parallel, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard [00:17:09] reported that a supertanker caught [00:17:13] fire in the Strait of Hormuz after colliding [00:17:16] with a naval mine while sailing on a [00:17:19] route that Tehran described as unauthorized. These [00:17:22] incidents occur amid restrictions on maritime transit [00:17:26] and conflicting warnings about navigation in one of the [00:17:29] world's main energy [00:17:33] routes. [00:17:42] Washington was the scene of a new day of protests in [00:17:45] defense of the Palestinian people in front of the Capitol, the [00:17:49] demonstrators demanded changes in United States [00:17:52] policy towards Israel, while the worsening of the [00:17:56] genocide carried out by the regime against Gaza enters [00:18:00] its third year. José Leveña with the [00:18:02] report. [00:18:05] In different cities around the world, thousands of people took to the streets to express their [00:18:09] solidarity with Palestine and denounce the Israeli offensive, as 3 years of the [00:18:13] genocide in Gaza are completed, in Washington, dozens of organizations and hundreds of citizens [00:18:16] gathered in front of the Capitol to demand an end to the occupation policies and the [00:18:20] support for Israel, among those who took to the streets were relatives of victims, [00:18:24] Palestinian-American citizens and activists who denounce that violence [00:18:27] continues to mark the lives of millions of people. For many, three years [00:18:30] later, the pain is not a memory, it continues to arrive in the form of news about new [00:18:34] deaths and destroyed families. [00:18:39] Just this weekend, they killed my relatives in Gaza while [00:18:42] they were sleeping, a grandmother and her daughter, just after [00:18:46] her children had visited them. Three years ago [00:18:49] they killed my friend, Aunt Ilham, a friend of [00:18:53] my mother's, and ran her over with a bulldozer [00:18:57] when she was going to try to shower. It has been three [00:19:00] years of relentless murder, every [00:19:03] day, against Christians and Muslims without distinction. [00:19:07] against children and the elderly, we are here to say that [00:19:11] this has to [00:19:12] end. [00:19:17] We have been in genocide for 3 years and many [00:19:20] people, especially from governments, not common [00:19:23] people like us say there is no [00:19:26] genocide, I believe it is 100% [00:19:29] genocide, we are in disagreement with the governments [00:19:33] and I felt it was very important to come and [00:19:35] express what... [00:19:42] Activists warn about the extension of violence in the Middle East, and [00:19:45] reject the normalization of military operations and occupation, assuring that the [00:19:49] mobilization not only seeks to remember the victims, but also to maintain [00:19:53] pressure so that Palestine remains at the center of the international debate and denunciations of [00:19:57] human rights violations are not forgotten. [00:19:59] It is important to be here today because people [00:20:02] have suffered genocide and occupation for decades and now [00:20:06] they are trying. to do the same with Iran and Lebanon, as [00:20:09] Americans, we will not allow that to [00:20:13] happen. I am here to support the Palestinian [00:20:16] people. Three years after this genocide [00:20:19] began. I thought the world would have reacted [00:20:22] and that a change would have occurred, but I see that [00:20:26] Israel is intensifying its actions even more. I want the [00:20:29] Palestinian people to be able to achieve some kind of [00:20:33] liberation, I don't know how. Demonstrators [00:20:36] denounce that occupation. extends and that control over Gaza continues to be a matter of [00:20:40] dispute, they also question international initiatives that do not guarantee the [00:20:44] rights of the Palestinian people nor put an end to the aggression. [00:20:48] This situation continues. Israel assumes more and more control [00:20:52] over Gaza, while Trump's false peace council, [00:20:55] which is a genocidal council, has taken [00:20:59] over Palestine and is extending its aggression through the West [00:21:02] Bank and indeed throughout the region. [00:21:05] After the march, activists met to exchange proposals and coordinate [00:21:09] common actions, with the aim of maintaining mobilization and exploring avenues of pressure [00:21:13] from the United States given the situation in Palestine and the escalation of violence in the [00:21:16] region. The [00:21:20] demonstrators insist on their demands, an arms embargo on [00:21:24] Israel, sanctions and an end to international support which they denounce contributes [00:21:29] violence, from Washington, where these demands [00:21:33] point directly to the role of the United States as Israel's main [00:21:36] ally, it is more important than ever, reported José [00:21:39] Leveña for Telesur. [00:21:42] Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced this [00:21:45] Saturday what he described as an obsessive persecution of the [00:21:49] United States government against Cuba's International Medical Cooperation [00:21:53] programs. The official questioned the new [00:21:56] State Department report on human trafficking, considering that it [00:21:59] is used to justify [00:22:03] diplomatic pressure and restrict these [00:22:06] missions. According to the information published, the US [00:22:09] document again points to forced [00:22:12] labor in some Cuban professional cooperation [00:22:15] programs abroad. In this regard, [00:22:18] Havana maintains that these measures seek to weaken its [00:22:21] international cooperation, while the debate remains [00:22:25] around the working conditions of professionals [00:22:28] and the impact that restrictions may [00:22:31] have on the populations that receive such important medical [00:22:35] attention. [00:22:42] The persistent armed violence in Haiti that leaves more than [00:22:45] 5,700 victims among dead and [00:22:48] injured so far in 2026 finds its [00:22:52] main driver in the illicit arms [00:22:55] trafficking, according to a report from the panel of [00:22:58] experts of the UN Security Council, a large [00:23:01] part of this arsenal feeds powerful criminal gangs [00:23:05] such as 400 Mawozo and Grand Ravine. The document [00:23:09] indicates that a large part of these war supplies [00:23:12] illegally enters through the border with the Dominican [00:23:15] Republic, despite the objectives of the control [00:23:19] operations and historical seizures, such [00:23:22] as the more than 22,000 munitions seized [00:23:25] at the end of 2022 in Elías Piña, investigations [00:23:29] have not yet managed to publicly identify the [00:23:33] main leaders of these transnational networks. [00:23:36] On the other hand, the United Nations report also [00:23:39] warns about the existence of possible networks [00:23:43] of institutional corruption involving agents and [00:23:47] connections with military units. [00:24:05] Tropical Storm Isaias made landfall in Florida as a Category Two [00:24:09] storm and downgraded to a depression, leaving a toll of [00:24:13] four dead and at least 9,000 users without [00:24:16] power. Let's look at more details. [00:24:22] First, in Florida, a woman died when a [00:24:25] tree fell on her house, and a man died in his garage from a [00:24:29] running generator. In addition to this, the governor of [00:24:32] Alabama confirmed two more deaths. In this [00:24:36] context, it left approximately 900,000 users without [00:24:40] electricity, with Florida being the most affected state with [00:24:44] approximately 440,000, [00:24:47] followed by Alabama with 310,000, and Georgia with [00:24:51] 114,000. It also left fallen [00:24:55] trees, blocked streets, and damage to urban [00:24:58] infrastructure. [00:25:01] The state of Florida declared an emergency in 27 [00:25:04] counties and mobilized 500 members of the National [00:25:07] Guard. Likewise, Alabama declared [00:25:10] an emergency in 40 counties. Several localities [00:25:14] ordered preventive evacuations in vulnerable [00:25:17] areas due to the risk of flooding and possible [00:25:20] tornadoes in parts of Florida, Alabama, and [00:25:23] Georgia.
