[00:01:27] inside a home and then outside,
[00:01:30] seven of the victims were family
[00:01:33] members, while the eighth was a family
[00:01:36] friend. The man was found dead when officers
[00:01:39] entered the property. After the operation, authorities indicated
[00:01:43] that the situation is under
[00:01:45] Labor Party Congress in control and that there is no active threat to the community.
[00:01:59] The streaming corporation Netflix plans to
[00:02:03] reduce about 5% of its workforce
[00:02:06] starting next week, according to the PC bulletin,
[00:02:10] although the company has not confirmed the measure. The company, which
[00:02:14] evicted the camp on had about 16, full-time
[00:02:17] employees at the end of last year, faces challenges to
[00:02:20] maintain its growth rate and increase its audience
[00:02:24] participation, despite having boosted new sources of
[00:02:28] revenue such as ad-supported plans, live events
[00:02:32] and video games, its sales have slowed down
[00:02:35] recently. In addition, its shares have lost value amid
[00:02:39] investors' attention on its
[00:02:42] expansion strategy and its commercial
[00:02:46] results.
[00:02:55] Changing the subject, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced
[00:02:59] this Saturday what he called an obsessive
[00:03:02] persecution by the United States government against Cuba's
[00:03:06] international medical cooperation programs. The
[00:03:09] official questioned the new report from the State Department
[00:03:13] on human trafficking, considering that it is
[00:03:16] used to justify
[00:03:19] days, from 7 to 7 at diplomatic pressure and restrict these
[00:03:21] Qat sales post in the missions. According to the published information, the
[00:03:24] U.S. document again points to some Cuban
[00:03:28] professional cooperation
[00:03:31] programs abroad as forced labor. In this regard,
[00:03:34] Havana maintains that these
[00:03:36] evacuate residents from measures seek to weaken its international
[00:03:39] you, scan the QR code to cooperation, while the debate continues around the
[00:03:43] working conditions of professionals and the impact that restrictions
[00:03:47] may have on the
[00:03:50] landslides. As of the populations receiving such important medical
[00:03:52] care.
[00:04:00] In Cuba, electricity service was reestablished in the
[00:04:03] eastern region of the country after a partial disconnection
[00:04:07] registered this Saturday, reported the electric union. According to the
[00:04:11] entity, the interruption was due to a fault in the
[00:04:14] 220 kV transmission line that connects
[00:04:18] Nuevitas with Las Tunas. This
[00:04:21] incident occurs amidst the
[00:04:23] relationship between the United States and difficulties faced by the Cuban electrical system,
[00:04:27] including limitations in the supply of fuel and
[00:04:30] the availability of resources for its maintenance, the
[00:04:34] blockade and restrictions imposed by the United States
[00:04:37] make it difficult to acquire fuel, parts and
[00:04:42] 162 other necessary supplies for the operation of the
[00:04:44] sector.
[00:04:49] announced that a reform of the The persistent
[00:04:53] armed violence in Haiti
[00:04:55] sees. Today we're going to talk about what that leaves more than 5,700
[00:04:58] have also occurred, which victims, including dead and injured, so far in 2026, finds its
[00:05:02] main driver in the illicit
[00:05:04] authorities are monitoring arms trade, according to a report by the UN Security
[00:05:07] Council's panel of experts.
[00:05:11] A large part of this arsenal feeds powerful criminal
[00:05:14] gangs such as 400 Mawozo and Grand
[00:05:18] Ravine. The document indicates that a good part of these
[00:05:21] war supplies enter illegally through the
[00:05:24] border with the Dominican Republic, despite control
[00:05:27] operations and historical seizures, such as the
[00:05:31] more than 22,000 munitions confiscated at the end of
[00:05:35] 2022 in Elías Piña. Investigations
[00:05:38] have not yet managed to publicly identify the main
[00:05:41] leaders of these transnational networks.
[00:05:45] On the other hand, the United Nations report also
[00:05:48] warns about the existence of possible
[00:05:51] institutional corruption networks involving
[00:05:55] agents and connections with military units.
[00:06:08] We're going to take a very brief break and
[00:06:10] we'll be back.
[00:07:03] Back here at Telesur News, thank you for joining us. Venezuela
[00:07:07] reaches 3 consecutive years of economic growth
[00:07:10] and ECLAC estimates that it will close 2026 at more than
[00:07:14] 6.5%. One of the sectors that is
[00:07:18] being renewed is the electrical sector. The report with Madelen
[00:07:21] García.
[00:07:24] Spare parts continue to arrive for the different thermoelectric plants in
[00:07:27] Venezuela,
[00:07:30] a motor and lubrication pump for the generator to keep the
[00:07:33] oil in the generator as such, the engineers do not stop
[00:07:37] working, they change the old parts for new
[00:07:40] ones. Little by little, they are reactivating the
[00:07:44] equipment to generate megawatts, this is done by
[00:07:47] Venezuelan private companies together with the workers of the national
[00:07:50] electrical system. We are checking and verifying each signal and each
[00:07:54] piece of equipment, performing maintenance and adjustments to leave them in operational
[00:07:58] condition. We are incorporating
[00:08:01] megawatts into the system to improve
[00:08:04] the conditions of the system, to improve the national electrical system, that's
[00:08:08] what it's about, yes we are recovering, of course.
[00:08:11] The goal is to recover in the medium term the electrical
[00:08:14] sector that was affected by the illegal sanctions of the United
[00:08:18] States by not being able to access original
[00:08:21] spare parts. Waiting for the spare parts, the spare part
[00:08:25] has arrived, let's go forward, my love, when it's 24 hours we give
[00:08:28] it 24 hours the rest of the
[00:08:32] night, from 7 to 9, from 7 to 10, yes, you have to
[00:08:35] give it, but for that we are looking for that, that
[00:08:39] the country and build and the things that...
[00:08:42] we have a better operation with electricity,
[00:08:46] there we go little by little. The earthquake affected 800
[00:08:49] MW and of those 600 were recovered,
[00:08:52] three months after the seismic doublet, which stabilized
[00:08:55] electricity mainly in three states in the central-western
[00:08:59] part of the country. Trust us, because we are
[00:09:03] guarantors of the national electrical system, we are
[00:09:06] focused, committed and even
[00:09:09] in love with what the electrical system is and its proper
[00:09:13] functioning, its good service, we are service
[00:09:16] providers with quality, with
[00:09:18] vocation and well, with love for Venezuela also so that
[00:09:22] Venezuela grows and
[00:09:25] Venezuela grew for the third consecutive year despite the
[00:09:28] difficulties, dialogue with private companies and consensus
[00:09:31] allowed the country to be ranked first in
[00:09:35] Latin America and has remained so, this speaks
[00:09:38] volumes of the effort of what we are capable of, I always say that...
[00:09:42] what we are capable of as Venezuelans and you as
[00:09:46] entrepreneurs in the most difficult environment of
[00:09:49] economic blockade, of financial
[00:09:52] blockade, you gave and have given your best
[00:09:55] to move forward. The acting
[00:09:58] president Rodríguez
[00:10:02] electrical system law is underway, soon
[00:10:05] it will come, soon and when I say soon I am referring to the next
[00:10:09] days, weeks, but it will not pass
[00:10:12] this year. A reform of the national electrical system
[00:10:15] law of the electrical service that allows private
[00:10:18] participation in the processes
[00:10:21] of generation, transmission, distribution.
[00:10:25] This is something we have also been discussing with the private
[00:10:29] sector. In addition to the electrical sector, Venezuela has a clear
[00:10:33] growth path in other sectors such as petrochemicals, oil with 61 agreements
[00:10:37] signed with different countries around
[00:10:40] the world. Madelín García, Telesur, Caracas,
[00:10:43] Venezuela.
[00:10:46] Youth mobilization in Ecuador this Saturday was marked by
[00:10:49] protest signs and slogans against President
[00:10:53] Daniel Noboa and his administration.
[00:10:55] The protesters marched through the Guambra underpass and
[00:10:59] advanced towards Carondelet Palace in the historic
[00:11:02] center of Quito, the capital,
[00:11:04] let's listen: first because of the lack of jobs for
[00:11:08] us young people, we leave school and there are no
[00:11:11] jobs, then the lack of medicine, we cannot access it, parents
[00:11:15] are suffering because they do not have medicine and the whole security
[00:11:19] situation, they kill us, I already have four friends who have been killed
[00:11:23] due to insecurity and we are...
[00:11:33] We are here as a popular response to the government's
[00:11:36] measures from all areas, from the economic
[00:11:40] sphere, from the political sphere, from the discourse
[00:11:42] sphere, I believe that the
[00:11:45] people are already reaching a
[00:11:48] saturation point that is making us
[00:11:52] angry and we are here trying to express all our
[00:11:55] discontent, there is no political
[00:11:57] party that we are representing, it
[00:12:01] is the people, it is the popular will and we will continue
[00:12:05] with this. During his participation in the
[00:12:10] Mexico City, former foreign minister and current
[00:12:14] Ecuadorian assembly member Ricardo Patiño of Citizen Revolution,
[00:12:17] described the current political situation in his country as a
[00:12:21] dictatorship, denouncing the electoral disqualification of his party for 9 months
[00:12:25] ahead of the November elections. Our
[00:12:28] colleague García is in Mexico and gives us more details,
[00:12:31] go ahead.
[00:12:34] At this time we are at the Mexican Labor Party
[00:12:38] Congress, and well,
[00:12:41] with the great surprise we are
[00:12:45] happy to find an old friend here, a familiar
[00:12:48] face, someone who knows a lot about our
[00:12:52] countries in Latin America, foreign
[00:12:55] policy because he was foreign minister in
[00:12:58] Ecuador, here we have Ricardo
[00:13:01] Patiño, it's a pleasure to see
[00:13:04] you, Mr. Foreign Minister, I will always call you Foreign Minister and now
[00:13:07] he is an assembly member in Ecuador, yes,
[00:13:10] for which party, for the Citizen Revolution, the most
[00:13:14] important, the most important and most committed political
[00:13:18] party of our
[00:13:20] country, former foreign minister and dear
[00:13:23] assembly member Patiño. How do you see Ecuador
[00:13:26] today? Well, Ecuador is living under a dictatorship,
[00:13:30] it must be said clearly. It is not an
[00:13:33] authoritarian democracy, no, no, it's not that, it's a
[00:13:37] dictatorship. We are living in a country that
[00:13:41] at this moment, has prevented most
[00:13:44] of the political parties
[00:13:47] and Ecuadorian leaders from participating in the
[00:13:51] electoral process. Many people do not know this, but it is happening in
[00:13:54] Ecuador, the Citizen Revolution, the main party of
[00:13:57] Ecuador, has been suspended for 9 months, that is,
[00:14:01] during the electoral process, because we have elections in November, but in addition to
[00:14:05] that they have imprisoned, persecuted
[00:14:08] a series of political leaders, among them, the mayor of the largest city in
[00:14:12] Ecuador, Guayaquil, the mayor of Cuenca, uh,
[00:14:16] personalities who constitute
[00:14:19] themselves, they constitute themselves as the greatest options
[00:14:23] for re-election. political in Ecuador, they have removed them from the
[00:14:26] ballot, persecuting them for
[00:14:29] absolutely false and trivial reasons, this is what we are experiencing in
[00:14:33] Ecuador, unfortunately, I hope the American
[00:14:36] people become aware of this and do not give
[00:14:39] their support in this period, but
[00:14:42] manage to make the situation different, that
[00:14:48] the world, is not so violent, so interventionist,
[00:14:52] so terrifying for countries. How is it
[00:14:55] doing? Thank you, thank you, Ricardo Patiño, former
[00:14:58] foreign minister of Ecuador and now assembly member for the
[00:15:02] Revolution party. That's right, citizen.
[00:15:06] Well, we return our microphones to
[00:15:09] Caracas, Venezuela.
[00:15:13] Thank you, Aisa, for that interview. We change the subject in
[00:15:16] Argentina, different sectors of the economy show
[00:15:19] double-digit drops, according to data cited in an
[00:15:23] economic report. Among the most affected items are
[00:15:27] computer equipment with a drop of
[00:15:29] 39.5%,
[00:15:32] agricultural machinery with 31.2% and
[00:15:35] home appliances with a contraction of
[00:15:38] 27.8%.
[00:15:40] These setbacks are joined by declines in supermarket
[00:15:43] sales and in gastronomic activity,
[00:15:47] while different companies face difficulties.
[00:15:51] Although industry and construction
[00:15:54] registered slight monthly upturns in
[00:15:56] August, both continue below 2023
[00:16:00] levels, in a scenario that also includes business
[00:16:03] closures and job losses.
[00:16:13] And speaking of Argentina, with the participation of indigenous peoples from
[00:16:16] different countries, the 39th Plurinational Meeting of
[00:16:20] Women and Diversities began in
[00:16:22] Córdoba, a day that brings together thousands of people around
[00:16:26] debates, cultural activities and
[00:16:29] mobilizations. The initial day was marked by a
[00:16:34] the city, bringing together thousands of participants
[00:16:38] under the slogan "the land is not for sale, the land must be
[00:16:41] defended." In these meetings, one of the
[00:16:44] central themes is the defense of territories and
[00:16:47] sovereignty, along with demands for human rights
[00:16:51] and equality. In this regard, the program includes
[00:16:54] workshops and assemblies on gender violence,
[00:16:57] diversity and household debt. The meeting will
[00:17:01] extend until October 12 and its organizers
[00:17:05] expect wide participation in the
[00:17:08] planned mobilizations throughout the
[00:17:10] city.
[00:17:19] Another brief pause and we'll be back.
[00:17:40] Our planet is full of natural paradises that
[00:17:44] beautify the environment
[00:17:47] and invite us to protect it from the threats that
[00:17:50] lurk,
[00:17:52] unknown wonders that await to be discovered by
[00:17:56] you.
[00:17:58] Join us to travel the world from a tourist
[00:18:02] perspective, let's move towards a
[00:18:04] new.
[00:18:08] Green destination every Wednesday,
[00:18:11] only on Telesur.
[00:18:48] Back here on Telesur Noticias, at least two civilians died and
[00:18:52] another was injured after an airstrike attributed to
[00:18:55] Saudi Arabia against a
[00:18:59] Yemeni province of Taiz, according to the
[00:19:02] Al Masirah media. In another incident
[00:19:06] recorded in the same province, a child died when an
[00:19:10] artifact remaining from previous
[00:19:13] military operations exploded. In addition, six new airstrikes
[00:19:17] were reported in the district of Max in the province of
[00:19:20] Saada. It is important to note that these events
[00:19:24] rekindle concern for the safety of the civilian
[00:19:27] population, especially mothers and children, given the
[00:19:31] attacks and the danger posed by unexploded
[00:19:34] ordnance.
[00:19:43] In the Gaza Strip, nearly 2 million 100,000
[00:19:46] Palestinians need safe shelter as winter
[00:19:49] approaches. The International Organization for Migration warns that
[00:19:53] intense rains and floods could
[00:19:56] worsen the living conditions of the population. According to the
[00:20:00] organization, available supplies and those on
[00:20:03] the way only cover 17% of urgent
[00:20:06] needs. In addition, 8600
[00:20:10] emergency kits are still awaiting authorization to
[00:20:13] enter Gaza. For its part, the Gaza Press
[00:20:17] Office reported that
[00:20:20] of the 270,000 tents installed
[00:20:24] can no longer be used. Damage to infrastructure
[00:20:27] also hinders repairs and drainage. Given this
[00:20:31] scenario, humanitarian organizations call for
[00:20:33] facilitating the entry of aid and equipment to improve
[00:20:38] and protect Palestinian families from the cold and
[00:20:41] rain.
[00:20:51] The UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian
[00:20:55] territories, Francesca Albanese, warned that the
[00:20:58] explosive power of Israeli bombardments on the Gaza
[00:21:02] Strip over the last 3 years
[00:21:05] is equivalent to six nuclear bombs, describing the current
[00:21:08] humanitarian crisis as a process of slow death for
[00:21:12] the civilian population. Albanese denounced the massive destruction
[00:21:16] of infrastructure, the collapse of the health system
[00:21:20] and the spread of diseases and malnutrition. She also
[00:21:23] pointed out that approximately 1.8 million
[00:21:26] Palestinians are displaced and confined to less than
[00:21:30] 30% of the territory. Given the lack of
[00:21:34] effective international support and insufficient humanitarian
[00:21:37] aid, the official urged the global community
[00:21:41] to take urgent measures to halt the extreme
[00:21:44] suffering and continuous displacement suffered by the
[00:21:48] inhabitants of the Palestinian enclave.
[00:21:57] Ireland proposed to reduce the European
[00:21:59] Union budget by 8% for the period
[00:22:03] 2028-2034
[00:22:05] with adjustments that would primarily affect the areas of
[00:22:09] competitiveness and security. The initiative
[00:22:12] proposes allocating 1.62
[00:22:15] trillion euros compared to the 1.76
[00:22:18] trillion proposed by the European Commission, according to
[00:22:22] figures calculated at constant 2025
[00:22:24] prices. The cuts would focus on
[00:22:28] research, defense and transport, while resources
[00:22:32] allocated to agriculture and cohesion would
[00:22:35] remain almost unchanged. The proposal was
[00:22:38] presented during the Irish presidency of the Council
[00:22:42] of the European Union and will have to be
[00:22:45] negotiated by member states before
[00:22:48] defining the budget for the next 7
[00:22:51] years.
[00:22:59] We stay in Europe, in Ceuta, Spain, the national police
[00:23:04] Guano beach, where about 400
[00:23:08] migrants remained. The operation took place two days
[00:23:12] before the King's visit and had the support of the
[00:23:15] Civil Guard and the local police. Before the
[00:23:18] intervention, several people collected their belongings and
[00:23:22] left the place, others were transferred by bus to a
[00:23:25] temporary foreign assistance center for their
[00:23:29] identification. After this procedure, the migrants will be
[00:23:33] transferred to the reception facilities set up by the
[00:23:36] Spanish government. During the eviction, agents also
[00:23:40] located several minors, who were separated
[00:23:44] from adults to receive differentiated
[00:23:47] attention. With this operation, the last migrant
[00:23:51] settlement remaining on the beaches of
[00:23:54] Ceuta was removed.
[00:24:14] A sudden rise in the Budigandaki River in north-central
[00:24:18] Nepal caused damage to homes and other
[00:24:21] structures, forcing authorities to
[00:24:26] riparian areas. As part of emergency
[00:24:30] operations, a Nepalese army helicopter
[00:24:33] rescued six people in the town of Yagat,
[00:24:37] where there is also a risk of
[00:24:40] report, no fatalities had been reported, while disaster
[00:24:43] management teams were investigating the
[00:24:46] causes of the flood and
[00:24:50] maintaining an alert in nearby communities. The episode
[00:24:54] occurs while the country is still facing the
[00:24:57] consequences of previous floods that caused serious
[00:25:01] human and material damage.
[00:25:03] materiales.
[00:25:11] Latin America is also hit by the climate
[00:25:14] crisis. Hurricane Simón, category 4, is approaching
[00:25:18] western Mexico and is expected to make landfall this
