[00:00:00] Enough of the illusion that the our Telesur Telegram channel for world's problems can be
[00:00:04] solved with nuclear weapons. Bombs can kill the
[00:00:07] hungry, the sick, the ignorant, but they cannot
[00:00:11] kill hunger, disease,
[00:00:14] ignorance. Nor can they kill the just rebellion
[00:00:17] of the peoples. And in the holocaust the rich will also die,
[00:00:21] who are the ones who have the most to lose in this world.
[00:00:24] Fidel Castro. October 12, 1979,
[00:00:28] speech delivered in his capacity as president of the Non-Aligned Movement
[00:00:32] at the 34th session of
[00:00:35] the General Assembly of the United Nations, New York, United States.
[00:00:59] Welcome. Welcome to today's topics. Before
[00:01:02] starting, let's go with our clip.
[00:01:13] headline of the moment or with
[00:02:04] And now we invite you to participate in our Telegram channel
[00:02:07] of Telesur
[00:02:10] harms access to food for with our daily poll. The context is the following:
[00:02:13] Latin American countries demand from the FAO, innovation and
[00:02:16] international cooperation to combat hunger. The
[00:02:21] vindicated the question: what is needed to combat hunger beyond
[00:02:23] speeches? And let's go with the options. First
[00:02:27] of all: greater international investment in...
[00:02:30] food. Next option, public policies that
[00:02:33] guarantee food for all. On the other hand, technology
[00:02:37] and innovation to strengthen agricultural production or a
[00:02:41] more just and solidary world economic order. Remember to
[00:02:44] choose any of these options through our
[00:02:47] Telesur Telegram channel. As the program continues until the end,
[00:02:51] you have time to
[00:02:52] do so.
[00:03:06] We go to Mexico because its president Claudia Sheinbow
[00:03:09] denounced a plan against the government after pointing out the
[00:03:12] war campaign of Fernando Serimedo and the right through
[00:03:16] bot farms.
[00:03:18] She took up the testimony of the ex-partner of the leader and digital criminal
[00:03:22] Fernando Cerimedo, Nadia Beller, about bot farms,
[00:03:25] coordinated attacks and coordinated influencer buying
[00:03:29] also. by Serimedo to disinform and
[00:03:33] distort public opinion. Beller's interview has
[00:03:36] reiterated the Mexican president's complaint about a
[00:03:39] destabilization campaign that her administration
[00:03:42] had been announcing. Beller has publicly
[00:03:45] stated that Serimedo expressed his intention to participate in the
[00:03:49] Mexican elections with a candidate to seek and
[00:03:52] remove President Claudia Shan
[00:03:55] from office.
[00:04:13] and to add more information precisely to this topic, let's
[00:04:16] add our colleague Danielas from Mexico City
[00:04:19] for the details,
[00:04:21] let's see,
[00:04:25] colleagues, how are you? Greetings from
[00:04:27] capital of Coclé, one of Mexico. I inform you that today President Sheinbow
[00:04:30] once again denounced this series of coordinated attacks by
[00:04:34] right-wing groups through
[00:04:37] customs, what we share digital strategies that have precisely been attacking her administration and in general
[00:04:40] progressive governments. It was in connection with a series that has been airing
[00:04:44] here in Mexico about the so-called dirty war, a dark period
[00:04:47] of the last century in which these attacks came to light, and in connection
[00:04:51] with this, President Claudia Sheinbaum asked to replay
[00:04:54] a fragment of an interview that was done
[00:04:58] by one of the public media, Canal 14, to Nadia
[00:05:02] Beller, the ex-wife of Fernando Cerimedo, and
[00:05:05] precisely in which he has proposed this relationship that has been
[00:05:09] made with his ex-partner. eh Javier Negre, in which they
[00:05:13] sought precisely to attack progressive governments. There she has been trying
[00:05:16] to disassociate herself precisely, and as part of the
[00:05:19] declarations at that time, her ex-partner
[00:05:23] declared that he would be precisely seeking
[00:05:27] to influence the Mexican elections in order to
[00:05:29] remove or provoke a change of government through
[00:05:33] promoting fake news, among some other declarations. Well,
[00:05:36] part precisely of these that Nadia Beller
[00:05:40] made a little later, President Claudia Sheinbaum asked for part of this
[00:05:43] interview to be broadcast to finish by saying: "You see, I'm
[00:05:47] not saying it, precisely referring to how
[00:05:50] effectively with these testimonies it is proven that there is a
[00:05:54] coordinated action by right-wing groups to affect her administration and
[00:05:58] precisely progressive governments. Even so, President Claudia Sheinbaum,
[00:06:02] as in previous days, showed herself confident, shall we say,
[00:06:05] that there may not be
[00:06:09] such a great impact in the Mexican case, precisely because
[00:06:13] of the closeness that she presumes she has with the people of
[00:06:16] Mexico. This in connection, shall we say, with a possible change that could occur
[00:06:20] in Brazil with the runoff, this second
[00:06:22] round that could give a turn precisely to the government in that
[00:06:26] country. In view of this, President Sheinbaum Pardo was asked again if there was any
[00:06:29] risk that Mexico would be left alone as the only progressive government in the
[00:06:33] region, and she answered that her closeness with the people
[00:06:36] allows her for now to focus on serving them and then
[00:06:40] well, to see what would happen in an international context. But this is part of the
[00:06:43] statements made today by the Mexican president to precisely make
[00:06:47] this denunciation that I have already told you about. For now, this is the information
[00:06:51] we have from Mexico. We return cameras and microphones to the
[00:06:54] studio.
[00:06:56] And we continue precisely in Mexico because we are going to
[00:07:00] move to the city of Zacatecas, our image of the
[00:07:03] day where the 23rd edition of the
[00:07:07] International Street Theater Festival is being held. The inauguration was carried
[00:07:11] out by the French company Transexpress, which dazzled
[00:07:14] the public with three giant puppets accompanied by
[00:07:18] drums, dance and lyrical fragments of Carmen, La
[00:07:21] Traviata and Carmina Burana. Therefore, until October 17,
[00:07:25] the streets of Zacatecas will be transformed into a large open-air
[00:07:29] stage full of art, lights and international
[00:07:32] culture.
[00:08:05] And we're going to Guatemala because social movements in the country are
[00:08:08] mobilizing this Monday in all 22 departments to reject
[00:08:12] the increase in fuel prices and to demand that the national government
[00:08:15] take measures to curb inflation. The call has
[00:08:19] been made by peasant organizations and indigenous peoples
[00:08:22] since 7 a.m. local time in the main
[00:08:26] avenues of the country. The mobilizations seek to
[00:08:29] pressure the executive and reclaim key sectors such as the
[00:08:33] economic, social, judicial and political to respond to
[00:08:37] the needs of the people. In addition, the day is part of a
[00:08:40] call to coordinate.
[00:09:14] Now it's time to take a break from today's
[00:09:18] topics, but first we're going to leave you with the following
[00:09:21] material: Higüey, Dominican Republic was the
[00:09:24] scene of a mobilization of social organizations that have
[00:09:28] demanded improvements in health and education. Security
[00:09:31] forces repressed the peaceful protest with water cannons and
[00:09:35] water jets, so with these images we leave you, but we'll
[00:09:39] be back, don't go away.
[00:12:26] This date represents the living memory of the indigenous peoples of Latin
[00:12:30] America, who have faced centuries of dispossession, exclusion and
[00:12:34] violence, but have also resisted with strength, wisdom
[00:12:37] and dignity. It is a day to honor their cultures, their
[00:12:41] languages, their worldviews and their struggles for land,
[00:12:45] justice and autonomy. Recognizing their
[00:12:48] history is recognizing the deep root of our Latin
[00:12:51] American identity woven with diversity.
[00:13:03] October 12, Indigenous Resistance Day.
[00:13:44] Thank you for joining us, thank you for choosing Telesur. We continue with more topics of the
[00:13:48] day and as we did at the beginning of the program, we invite you to
[00:13:52] participate in our Telegram channel with the following. This is today's poll.
[00:13:56] Context: Latin American countries demand from FAO,
[00:13:59] innovation and international cooperation to combat
[00:14:03] hunger. The question is, what is needed to face
[00:14:06] hunger beyond speeches?
[00:14:09] Options: first, greater international investment in food
[00:14:13] security. Next: public policies that
[00:14:16] guarantee food for all, technology and
[00:14:20] innovation to strengthen agricultural production and finally,
[00:14:23] a more just and solidary world economic order. You still have a few
[00:14:27] minutes, about 15 minutes to choose any of these
[00:14:30] options through our Telesur Telegram.
[00:14:51] And it has precisely to do with our daily poll, because several Caribbean
[00:14:55] and Latin American countries urged the United Nations Food
[00:14:58] and Agriculture Organization for greater international cooperation,
[00:15:02] technological innovation and financing to transform
[00:15:05] agrifood systems and combat hunger and malnutrition.
[00:15:08] During the World Food Forum 2026 held in
[00:15:12] Rome, Latin American and Caribbean representatives
[00:15:15] agreed that food security is
[00:15:19] essential for development and equal opportunities.
[00:15:22] Likewise, various countries have
[00:15:25] denounced that the impacts of armed conflicts worldwide
[00:15:29] and also the climate crisis are directly affecting the
[00:15:32] increase in hunger and lack of production, thus generating
[00:15:36] incalculable consequences in developing
[00:15:39] territories. The representatives have also agreed that
[00:15:42] there must be greater participation of
[00:15:45] multilateralism that allows common challenges to be converted
[00:15:48] into spaces for joint action.
[00:16:18] And now from the scene of the events, precisely, let's
[00:16:21] connect from Rome, Italy, our correspondent
[00:16:24] Sergio Rodrigo to give us the details of what
[00:16:28] is happening today. How are you?
[00:16:31] How are you? Very good evening, greetings to all the Telesur audience
[00:16:35] from Rome. Today here, Latin American
[00:16:38] countries at the FAO have vindicated agriculture
[00:16:42] as a motor of change and as a strategic tool to
[00:16:45] address the zero hunger development goals, and in which
[00:16:49] they have also asked to seek tools
[00:16:53] that energize agriculture, and in which there
[00:16:56] have been numerous announcements by the participating
[00:17:00] countries. Among them has been the acting president of Venezuela,
[00:17:04] Delhi Rodríguez, who announced during today's
[00:17:07] session a new economic plan that they will announce
[00:17:11] in the coming days before the Venezuelan parliament, and in which she has assured
[00:17:15] that agriculture will be one of the strategies of this
[00:17:18] model that is also being debated within this
[00:17:22] meeting of this World Food Forum, in which also
[00:17:26] the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Peru, as well as
[00:17:29] Cuba, have sought to vindicate the role of
[00:17:32] agriculture to combat hunger. On the part of the
[00:17:36] Cuban president, Díaz-Canel has also announced
[00:17:40] that the energy blockade that the island is suffering
[00:17:43] is a tool that
[00:17:47] populations, and on coercive measures, the president of
[00:17:51] Venezuela has announced that these types of measures
[00:17:54] harm access to food. She has
[00:17:58] Venezuelan model to face the
[00:18:01] recovery and rebirth of Venezuela, as she stated
[00:18:05] during her intervention before the FAO, in which in the
[00:18:08] coming days the debate will continue on
[00:18:11] food, agriculture, and the challenges of the future to
[00:18:15] combat hunger, because there is still practically 8% of the
[00:18:19] population suffering from hunger.
[00:18:23] Thank you, Sergio, for the information, as
[00:18:25] always. And now in this context, we also tell you
[00:18:29] that the president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, posted the
[00:18:33] following on his Telegram account: In the World
[00:18:36] Food Forum, we denounced the U.S. blockade that
[00:18:39] limits food, fuel, financing, and
[00:18:43] technology. It is the main obstacle to our
[00:18:46] people's right to food. #Cuba
[00:18:49] is not a threat, the blockade is.
[00:19:07] And on the urgency of transforming agrifood
[00:19:10] systems, Kundunshu, Director General of the
[00:19:13] FAO, has stated the following.
[00:19:15] Let's listen. Forests are
[00:19:18] disappearing, biodiversity is
[00:19:21] under pressure, water too,
[00:19:25] and too many rural economies are still facing
[00:19:29] decreasing agricultural productivity and have
[00:19:33] difficulties supporting their youth. That is why innovation and
[00:19:36] acceleration are more important today than
[00:19:39] ever before. We have to do more and
[00:19:43] better on a large scale. We need
[00:19:46] innovation and technology,
[00:19:49] also in how we think and in how we design
[00:19:52] and in how we work together. And
[00:19:56] that is exactly what the World Food Forum was
[00:19:59] built for. And regarding Turkey's participation,
[00:20:03] its president has highlighted that his country is
[00:20:06] committed to generating changes for future
[00:20:09] generations, pointing out the importance of food security as a
[00:20:13] fundamental element for the development
[00:20:14] of the population. We are
[00:20:18] committed to leaving a suitable
[00:20:22] world for future generations in areas such as climate
[00:20:25] change, environmental protection and food security. We are
[00:20:28] witnesses to the struggle for the survival of millions
[00:20:32] of people.
[00:20:35] We live, moreover, on the other hand, in a world
[00:20:38] where food waste is increasing. Taking this situation into account, we cannot talk about peace, tranquility or
[00:20:42] prosperity.
[00:20:46] We in Turkey consider access to safe
[00:20:50] food not simply as a matter that has to do with
[00:20:53] food supply, but as a fundamental element for our own
[00:20:56] national security.
[00:20:59] And during his speech at the FAO World Food Forum,
[00:21:03] the King of Lesotho, Lexi III, detailed that the
[00:21:06] climate changes caused by the El Niño phenomenon have left
[00:21:09] affectations in the agricultural productivity of the
[00:21:12] region. This year is especially
[00:21:16] worrying for Lesotho and
[00:21:19] for our region
[00:21:22] precisely due to the El Niño phenomenon. Previous
[00:21:26] El Niño phenomena have demonstrated the
[00:21:29] vulnerabilities of the region's agrifood systems to
[00:21:32] floods, droughts, heat stress, a drop in
[00:21:36] the availability of water resources, and
[00:21:39] hídricos y
[00:21:41] a reduction, and disturbances in regional
[00:21:45] food markets, throughout
[00:21:48] Southern Africa. Millions of people have
[00:21:52] experienced increased food insecurity,
[00:21:56] livestock losses, as well as a drop in
[00:21:59] agricultural
[00:22:00] productivity.
[00:22:09] Changing the subject, we go to Venezuela because civil society
[00:22:12] and political authorities are meeting in the city of
[00:22:16] Caracas, its capital, to commemorate Indigenous Resistance
[00:22:19] Day, with events that honor the indigenous
[00:22:22] peoples. The main event was held in Plaza Venezuela,
[00:22:25] specifically at the monument dedicated to indigenous
[00:22:28] resistance, with the laying of a floral offering accompanied by
[00:22:32] performances of traditional dances that seek to
[00:22:35] highlight the historical and cultural heritage of these
[00:22:38] communities. Political authorities have awarded
[00:22:41] decorations to indigenous leaders, seeking to
[00:22:44] preserve and promote the cultural diversity and historical
[00:22:47] identity of the nation. These dates
[00:22:51] vindicate the struggle and memory of the ancestral warriors who
[00:22:54] fought against the Spanish empire,
[00:22:58] solidarity and of the basic social institutions
[00:23:00] of the country, indigenous peoples,
[00:23:04] agree, first, and in
[00:23:06] this regard we tell you that this Monday indigenous organizations and groups
[00:23:10] from Chile marched for the resistance of indigenous
[00:23:13] peoples with an anti-colonial structure that demands
[00:23:17] visibility, rights and the rejection of the dispossession of lands
[00:23:21] from ancestral communities. The coordination of autonomous indigenous
[00:23:24] organizations, social collectives and student federations
[00:23:28] are those who called for the mobilization. The traditional
[00:23:31] mobilization on this October 12 was held in the center of the city of
[00:23:35] Santiago de Chile, with demands for protection,
[00:23:38] autonomy, an end to the militarization of indigenous
[00:23:42] territory, the release of Mapuche political prisoners and the
[00:23:45] decriminalization of the coca leaf of political
[00:23:48] prisoners from Temuco representing the space where they are organizing
[00:23:52] and for a petition
[00:23:55] for demands and now let's see the following
[00:23:59] reactions through the social network X precisely for this commemoration of
[00:24:03] Indigenous Resistance Day. User Heidi Marcos
[00:24:07] published the following on her social network X: October 12,
[00:24:10] Day of Indigenous, Black and Popular
[00:24:13] Resistance. Today we commemorate the bravery, dignity and resistance
[00:24:16] of our original peoples, Afro-descendants and
[00:24:20] popular communities. On the other
[00:24:22] hand, user Hugo de Oliveira
[00:24:26] detailed, on this day the Day of Indigenous Resistance is
[00:24:29] commemorated to recognize the constancy, the struggle for their
[00:24:32] dignity, cultural and human diversity of the indigenous
[00:24:35] peoples of the continent. While finally, Sherson
[00:24:39] López stated, "Today we do not celebrate
[00:24:42] a conquest, today we honor more than 500 years of resistance of the
[00:24:46] indigenous peoples, their languages, their territories
[00:24:49] and their memory are still alive and their struggle
[00:24:52] continues to be ours, October 12, Indigenous
[00:24:56] Resistance Day.
[00:25:12] And we inform you that Penonomé, the provincial
[00:25:17] the areas most impacted by the 7.7 magnitude
[00:25:20] earthquake that shook Panama on October
[00:25:24] 9. Let's see it.
[00:25:53] And I told you that you had a few more minutes to choose one of the options.
[00:25:57] Now it's time, let's see the results that came out through
[00:26:03] today's poll: Latin American countries demand from
[00:26:06] FAO innovation and international cooperation to combat hunger. The
[00:26:09] question: what is needed to combat hunger beyond
[00:26:13] speeches? And you mostly chose, with
[00:26:17] 62%, greater international
[00:26:20] investment in food security. This was the first option.
[00:26:24] In second place, you chose a more just and solidary world
[00:26:28] economic order with 30%, and tied for second and third
[00:26:31] place were: public policies that guarantee food for all
[00:26:35] (15%) and technology and innovation to
[00:26:38] strengthen agricultural production with 15% as well.
[00:26:58] Thank you very much for having voted in our daily poll. Now we must
[00:27:01] say goodbye. But we say goodbye in the following way with the
[00:27:04] following audiovisual material that you can also find through the
[00:27:08] social networks of Telesur. We tell you that with the slogan
[00:27:11] "nothing to celebrate", collectives and activists have
[00:27:15] gathered in Madrid, Spain to reject centuries of
[00:27:18] oppression. The day included a march that started from
[00:27:22] Acacias to Juan Guaitisolo square,
