[00:01:53] I am Andrea Romero. Here are our [00:01:55] headlines. [00:02:00] in the United States, over 53 million votes have been cast [00:02:03] two days before the midterm [00:02:07] tell you that Venezuelan Jackson election. [00:02:09] 300 US military personnel arrive in Colombia to conduct [00:02:13] joint exercises, an initiative of the government that generates [00:02:16] rejection among the Colombian [00:02:18] population. [00:02:22] At least eight Palestinians, including a 3-year-old child and five [00:02:26] police officers, were killed in new Israeli [00:02:30] airstrikes against the Gaza [00:02:31] Strip. [00:02:39] his compatriot Wilger Abreu The United States has surpassed 53 million early [00:02:43] Transportation Safety Board in votes two days before the midterm elections, elections [00:02:45] where Democrats and Republicans are vying for the majority of seats [00:02:49] in the Senate. According to polls, at [00:02:53] least 44.2% of early voters identify [00:02:57] as Democrat, and 32% as [00:03:00] Republican, while another 23.9% [00:03:04] identify as independent. In this regard, analysts and political [00:03:07] advisors highlight that these figures represent the [00:03:11] widespread discontent of the population with President Donald [00:03:14] Trump's policies, among them, the intensification of [00:03:18] deportation operations against migrants stands out, which motivated [00:03:22] electoral participation to express rejection at the [00:03:28] a new home. At the polls. [00:03:31] In the United States, donations for the campaign of [00:03:35] Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Party nominee [00:03:38] for Senate in Michigan, are increasing. Haley [00:03:40] Stevens, Elsayed's main rival, appeared alongside Republican [00:03:44] Senate candidate [00:03:47] movement, was held in Mike Rogers in an attempt to discredit the Democratic [00:03:51] nominee, but the move backfired and sparked [00:03:54] a wave of financial and popular support for [00:03:57] Elsayed. The official leadership of the Michigan Democratic [00:04:01] Party flatly rejected the maneuver and officially [00:04:04] declared that Stevens is no longer an active member of the State [00:04:08] Democratic Party and will not be in the future, evidencing the [00:04:12] internal fracture and rejection of far-right tactics within [00:04:15] Democratic [00:04:16] ranks. [00:04:22] Also, through its social networks, the Michigan Democratic Party [00:04:26] issued the following statement. The Michigan Democratic Party [00:04:30] stands united and fully supports Abdul El [00:04:33] Sayed, a committed fighter with a proven track record [00:04:37] in defending Michigan's working families. In turn, the [00:04:40] message also expresses Hail Stevens' decision to campaign [00:04:44] alongside Rogers, a man who has repeatedly betrayed [00:04:47] Michigan's working class, who intends to impose a national [00:04:51] abortion ban, and who has promised to unconditionally support [00:04:55] Trump's agenda, demonstrates that she has abandoned everything [00:04:58] she claims to defend. It also [00:05:01] and tour operators. As denounces the following: Mike Rogers supports Donald [00:05:04] Trump's agenda, and we know his voting record well during his time [00:05:08] in Congress. It is deeply disappointing that a candidate who [00:05:12] spent 14 years in Washington, earning a 33% [00:05:15] rating from the NAACP, now expects [00:05:19] to be received in our places of [00:05:23] worship as a friend. Our community remembers how [00:05:26] he voted when it really mattered. [00:05:29] Finally, the statement shares the following: any [00:05:32] Democrat who has asked for our votes has an [00:05:35] obligation to this community to clearly [00:05:39] oppose him. The differences within our [00:05:42] party are resolved at the polls, and so it was. This Tuesday, [00:05:46] Michigan Democrats will vote for Abdul El [00:05:49] Sayed. [00:05:58] What do Americans choose this November 3rd [00:06:01] in the midterm elections? Let's see the answer in the following [00:06:04] material. [00:06:08] In the United States, all 435 seats in the [00:06:13] of the lower house will define the correlation of legislative forces and the [00:06:17] balance of power in the US Congress, where they serve [00:06:22] the entire chamber is renewed simultaneously. The lower house is [00:06:25] usually where bills are represented and debated. [00:06:29] ley. [00:06:32] Also, 35 of the 100 Senate seats are renewed. The elected [00:06:35] senators will serve six-year terms, which have the constitutional [00:06:39] power to approve, modify, or ratify bills [00:06:42] previously approved by the House [00:06:44] of Representatives. [00:06:48] At the territorial level, the contest has a direct impact on local management, [00:06:52] as 36 of the 50 states elect governors for four-year [00:06:56] terms. These elections will define subnational [00:06:59] budgetary and administrative policies. The [00:07:02] day also includes voting for state legislators, local [00:07:05] commissioners, judges, and prosecutors. Likewise, multiple referendums will submit [00:07:09] legislative proposals with direct historical impact [00:07:12] to citizen consultation. [00:07:17] Nine people died after a private Learjet [00:07:20] 60 crashed in Palm Beach County [00:07:23] in Florida, according to US Secretary of Transportation [00:07:27] Shanpy Doffy. The aircraft took off from [00:07:30] Austin, Texas, and was bound for the Bahamas. The [00:07:33] accident occurred around 12:50 PM local [00:07:37] time, causing an explosion and fire that damaged part [00:07:41] of the pavement and left debris in the area. Emergency [00:07:44] crews responded to the scene to control the flames and secure the [00:07:48] perimeter. The Federal Aviation Administration deployed [00:07:51] personnel to collaborate with the National [00:07:55] the investigations that will determine the causes of the [00:07:58] accident. [00:08:05] Panama reported an interannual growth of [00:08:08] 17.2% in the export sector between [00:08:12] January and September 2026. According to the [00:08:15] report presented by the Ministry of Commerce and Industries, this [00:08:19] rebound in external sales reflects a key dynamism in national [00:08:22] production, which has boosted indirect sectors such as [00:08:26] transport, services, and logistics. Official [00:08:29] data divides this achievement into two main fronts: [00:08:33] registered exports showed an increase of [00:08:36] 9.0% compared to the same period in [00:08:40] 2025, while the Panama Pacific Special [00:08:44] Economic Area achieved an increase of [00:08:46] 43.8%. The commercial offer that the country [00:08:50] provides, positioned in international markets, combines [00:08:53] agricultural, industrial, and fishing [00:08:56] items. [00:09:01] While in other nations like Uruguay, a meager [00:09:04] growth of 1.1% [00:09:07] year-on-year was recorded, despite the rebound registered in September [00:09:11] where external sales rose 10.3% monthly, [00:09:14] global progress is stagnant due to climatic [00:09:18] factors and the contraction of demand in [00:09:21] strategic markets. According to reports, the South American [00:09:25] nation will close 2026 with the lowest export expansion in the [00:09:29] region. External sales are expected to barely reach an annual [00:09:32] growth of 5%, driven [00:09:35] more by the improvement in international prices than by the physical [00:09:39] volume traded. [00:09:46] We take our first break. When we return, more news. Stay with us. [00:10:11] We are not content with the headline of the moment, nor with the [00:10:14] trending topic that others set. Here [00:10:17] we analyze the real impact of what happens in the [00:10:21] world and on your screen. From Monday to Friday, [00:10:24] we have planned to dismantle the informational [00:10:28] matrix and everything that is geopolitical. Daily events that become [00:10:32] so interactive. The truth moves [00:10:35] us in our peoples because [00:10:38] our hearts looking south, from the south [00:10:41] 3.0, on the multiplatform [00:10:44] Telesur. [00:10:49] Only on [00:10:51] Telesur. [00:11:12] We're back with more Telesur news. Venezuela's Foreign Minister [00:11:15] Oliver Blanco held a bilateral meeting with Portugal's [00:11:19] Economy Minister Manuel Castro Almeida, [00:11:22] accompanied by a delegation of more than 30 companies [00:11:26] interested in investing in the country. Venezuela's Minister of Foreign Affairs [00:11:29] detailed that under the leadership of interim president Delcy [00:11:32] Rodríguez, the friendship between both countries will be strengthened [00:11:36] with a diplomatic agenda aimed at boosting investments, expanding [00:11:40] cooperation, and generating concrete benefits for the [00:11:43] people. The Portuguese delegation is the largest [00:11:46] business entourage to visit Venezuela within the framework [00:11:50] of this diplomatic [00:11:50] route. [00:11:56] In Venezuela, the Christmas season opens the way for reunions and [00:11:59] traditions. In the temporary camps in central [00:12:03] Caracas, families affected by the earthquakes [00:12:06] find in this celebration the strength to share, [00:12:10] celebrate, and stay united. Luis Tavera tells us [00:12:13] more. On the emblematic Panteón Avenue, the [00:12:17] Armando Sulwaga Blanco Educational Unit now houses only [00:12:21] 21 of the 81 families who arrived after the earthquakes. Among [00:12:25] banana leaves and under the supervision of the National Institute of [00:12:27] Nutrition, community hands-on work begins the preparation [00:12:31] of the traditional hallaca. The act of [00:12:34] making hallacas is a family affair, that's [00:12:38] why the cooks are here bringing their children, they are like giving [00:12:41] love, giving and receiving love. It's a dish that is [00:12:45] complete because hallaca also has its sides like salad, ham [00:12:49] bread, this papelón with lemon that we are going to serve [00:12:53] today, it is a quite heavy dish, quite, that provides [00:12:57] many caloric contributions, that is very nutritious and that well, that [00:13:00] depending on the area it comes from, that dish will vary. Nationally, [00:13:03] more than 3,500 families have already received homes. With this [00:13:07] progress, the guests organize a Christmas lunch full of color and [00:13:11] unity for the little ones. We are starting [00:13:13] Christmas for our guests, we have [00:13:17] here 21 families that are still sheltered here, they are [00:13:21] our guests, here we are with the boys and girls and [00:13:25] that pain that is in the [00:13:28] heart for the loss of family here today is dressed [00:13:31] in joy, as the colleagues and the girls in the kitchen [00:13:35] say, we have all participated in making the hallacas, preparing [00:13:39] uh, let's say the black cake, characteristic [00:13:43] of our traditional Christmas lunch and [00:13:46] dinner. Keeping customs alive becomes the emotional refuge [00:13:50] to face the transition to [00:13:53] moment, one stops valuing the moments that are so simple [00:13:57] and so common that you have daily and after that moment you realize that [00:14:01] every minute counts, every minute is important, a [00:14:04] call, a hug, everything, everything [00:14:07] is important, there is no "later", it's for now. [00:14:10] Christmas, no matter how painful it may be for [00:14:14] me and other people who are currently going through a difficult [00:14:18] process, is something that cannot be erased, [00:14:21] especially for the children's culture because the children [00:14:25] are not yet aware of what is really happening, you [00:14:28] understand, and well, welcome Christmas and may we all [00:14:32] have a good time. Along with new and rehabilitated houses, the Venezuela [00:14:36] Renace Plan adds social credit, an 80% subsidy, and [00:14:39] 5% financing for 25 years to buy one's own home. The three [00:14:43] days we were here they gave us the option to buy, [00:14:47] then they gave us what was the [00:14:50] search that we have within ourselves to look for the person to [00:14:54] drown later. The godparents themselves approached the house, [00:14:58] they looked for it, inspected it, they were in charge of inspecting the house to make sure it wasn't in [00:15:01] bad condition, that it wasn't cracked. We are [00:15:04] very happy, thank God, also with the company of the [00:15:08] support of the godparents who were always there at all times giving us support at [00:15:12] all times, both in health, education, [00:15:15] food, they were very attentive to us [00:15:18] and to this day, well, we already have our house. [00:15:22] With more than 20 camps already closed in the country, the families of this [00:15:25] refuge show that hope and unity do not stop, turning every [00:15:29] moment into a new beginning. In the camera of José Luis Briseño, Luis Tavera, [00:15:32] Telesur, Caracas, Venezuela. The [00:15:35] acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, welcomed [00:15:38] Christmas during a tour of the Paseo de los Próceres in the city of [00:15:42] Caracas. During this tour, she was accompanied by the [00:15:45] mayor of the Libertador municipality of Caracas, Carmen Meléndez, the [00:15:49] sectoral vice president of Communication and Culture, Miguel Ángel Pérez [00:15:53] Pirela, and the head of government of the Capital District, Naum [00:15:56] Fernández. The tour was carried out through a corridor of [00:15:59] entrepreneurs. In addition, the event registered a significant [00:16:03] influx of citizens who traveled to the monumental complex [00:16:06] to enjoy the traditional lighting. The activity [00:16:10] took place in order and under a large security [00:16:13] deployment, with an atmosphere of peace and [00:16:15] coexistence. [00:16:21] Well, this year 2026, [00:16:24] you know that Venezuela has been [00:16:27] shaken by painful moments, but November [00:16:30] 1st arrived and the whole country is lighting [00:16:34] up for Christmas, but the most important thing, the [00:16:38] hug that we are going to give, a hug of [00:16:42] companionship, a hug to heal wounds, [00:16:45] a hug to meet friends, family. [00:16:49] Yesterday we were precisely delivering [00:16:52] housing to people, families [00:16:55] who lost loved ones in the seismic [00:16:58] double event, and there we told them [00:17:01] that this end of the year, this Christmas, is for family hugs and friend [00:17:05] hugs. So I want us all to [00:17:08] do the countdown [00:17:12] to light the cross of Warairarepano and light [00:17:16] these beautiful lights. So we begin: [00:17:19] nine, eight, [00:17:22] seven, six, five, [00:17:26] four, three, two, [00:17:30] one, and zero. [00:17:33] Happy New Year to you, a Happy New Year to her, a [00:17:36] Happy New Year. [00:17:38] Changing topics, some 300 US military personnel are arriving [00:17:42] in Colombia to conduct joint exercises, a government [00:17:46] initiative that generates rejection among the Colombian population. [00:17:49] The presence of US military in Colombia once again ignites [00:17:52] the positions of foreign army incursions in [00:17:56] the country. Many believe that it is a disguised intervention [00:17:59] to position themselves in territory, thus violating [00:18:03] regular channels. Colombia, with its violent actors, [00:18:06] becomes the scenario for Washington to try to [00:18:09] seize the resources of South American countries. [00:18:13] Likewise, the White House says it is preparing against [00:18:16] drug trafficking and illegal armed groups. It is expected [00:18:20] that this military exchange will last approximately 15 [00:18:23] days; however, it is unknown if the military will [00:18:27] stay or return to [00:18:28] North America. [00:18:34] Colombian politician Antonio Navarro Wolff, commander of the [00:18:38] April 19th Movement guerrilla, passed away in Bogotá [00:18:41] at 78 years of age. The Navarro family informed [00:18:44] their friends, and all Colombians that Antonio Navarro Wolff [00:18:48] passed away at 2:42 PM local [00:18:51] time and asked for media respect at this time of deep [00:18:55] commotion. In one of the first reactions, Senator Iván [00:18:58] Cepeda, former presidential candidate for the Historical [00:19:01] Pact, recalled his first meeting with Navarro Wolff and [00:19:04] affirmed to admire and [00:19:08] respect him as one of the most outstanding leaders of the [00:19:11] left and progressivism in Colombia. Congresswoman [00:19:15] Mafe Carrascal highlighted the deceased politician as a [00:19:18] fighter for peace, justice, and democracy and [00:19:21] emphasized that his life is an example of ethics and dignity [00:19:25] and that he was a key figure in the constituent process of [00:19:28] 1991. [00:19:36] In Ecuador, heavy rains in Galapagos left one [00:19:40] dead and at least 200 families affected. The government [00:19:43] declared a state of emergency in Santa Cruz canton in the Galapagos [00:19:46] Archipelago, after more than 15 hours [00:19:50] of rainfall. The rains caused collapses in the island's [00:19:53] tourist and road infrastructure, forcing the temporary [00:19:56] closure of Baltra Airport and the deployment of the [00:19:59] Armed Forces. Ecuadorian authorities link this [00:20:03] event to the conditions of the El Niño phenomenon, maintaining [00:20:07] operational search and humanitarian assistance efforts by air and [00:20:10] sea. [00:20:16] The Galapagos National Park Directorate temporarily [00:20:19] restricted access to tourist sites in Santa Cruz and San [00:20:23] Cristóbal with the aim of preventing accidents while evaluating [00:20:27] safety conditions due to heavy rainfall. [00:20:31] The institution explained that the decision is preventive and seeks [00:20:34] to protect residents, tourists, [00:20:38] of now, there is no definite date for the reopening of the [00:20:42] spaces, given the climatic [00:20:44] conditions. [00:20:53] Ecuador exceeded 43 thousand dengue cases and [00:20:57] the figure of 45 deaths until October 24, [00:21:00] 2026. According to the Ministry of Public Health, this figure [00:21:04] represents an increase of 22.69% compared [00:21:08] to 2025. Despite the increase [00:21:11] in infections, the number of deaths decreased by [00:21:14] 29.69%, [00:21:16] with children, adolescents, and the elderly being the [00:21:20] main victims. The most affected areas are the province of [00:21:24] Manabí, which tops the list with 12,388 infections, [00:21:27] followed by Guayas with [00:21:29] 10,235. [00:21:32] Faced with these increases, the health ministry pointed to [00:21:35] dengue as one of the main public health problems in [00:21:39] Ecuador. [00:21:46] French police forces arbitrarily detained more [00:21:50] than 560 people who were mobilizing in Paris [00:21:54] against the high cost of living. The Ministry of Interior and the police [00:21:58] prefecture stated that the marches proceeded without [00:22:01] problems, except for some reports of clashes [00:22:05] between protesters and security forces. The ministry [00:22:08] denounced this event as alleged unprecedented violence by some [00:22:11] groups, in which, according to reports, at least [00:22:15] five police officers were injured. [00:22:18] heridos. [00:22:26] Albania has accumulated 14 consecutive days of demonstrations [00:22:29] marked by police repression against the administration of Prime [00:22:32] Minister Edi Rama. Days of massive marches and [00:22:36] harsh clashes between citizens and security forces [00:22:39] shake Tirana, the capital, and the main [00:22:43] cities of the country. Albanian youth demand urgent [00:22:47] solutions to the shortage of funds for universities, [00:22:50] the lack of decent jobs upon finishing studies, and the [00:22:54] advancement of elitist models that transform education into a [00:22:57] business reserved for privileged minorities. [00:23:01] Likewise, young people and residents gathered peacefully [00:23:04] in front of the Ministry of Education to present administrative [00:23:08] and political demands, such as the resignation of the Prime [00:23:12] Minister. [00:23:12] Ministro. [00:23:20] At least eight Palestinians, including a 3-year-old child and five [00:23:24] police officers, were killed in new Israeli airstrikes [00:23:28] against the Gaza Strip. The bombing near the Tacmol [00:23:31] shopping center in western Gaza City left [00:23:35] three dead, including a 3-year-old child, [00:23:38] according to medical sources who transported the bodies to [00:23:41] Al-Shifa Hospital. In another attack, an Israeli drone [00:23:45] struck the Almawasi area in Khan Yunis, south of the [00:23:48] strip, killing five Palestinian police officers, [00:23:52] as confirmed by the Gaza Ministry of Interior. Civil Defense [00:23:56] teams transported three bodies, while the emergency [00:23:59] and ambulance unit evacuated two other [00:24:03] victims and five injured, two of whom are in critical [00:24:06] condition. These attacks occur within the framework of the ongoing [00:24:10] Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, which has already left thousands [00:24:14] of victims and a severe humanitarian [00:24:16] crisis. [00:24:23] In India, protesters took to the streets of New Delhi to [00:24:26] demand the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner in a new [00:24:30] protest called by the opposition bloc. The concentration, [00:24:33] supported by the Cockroaches youth [00:24:37] Ramli La Maidan square, a key point for political [00:24:40] rallies, protests, and speeches in the Asian [00:24:44] country. The demonstration comes weeks [00:24:47] after a similar protest in the capital where clashes [00:24:50] with the police were recorded. Opposition leader Rahul [00:24:53] Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of [00:24:57] manipulating the electoral process and called for the arrest [00:25:01] of the country's electoral authorities. This came after [00:25:04] a review of the electoral roll that removed more than [00:25:08] 130 million names since last year. The government and the [00:25:11] election commission reject the accusations and maintain that the [00:25:15] review of the register seeks solely to purge duplicate [00:25:19] or ineligible entries, not [00:25:21] to strip citizens [00:25:23] of their rights. [00:25:29] Multiple people took to the streets of Sandton in [00:25:32] Johannesburg to celebrate the Pride Parade in South [00:25:36] Africa, one of the largest annual celebrations of inclusion [00:25:39] in Africa. Participants waved rainbow flags and [00:25:43] banners in support of the LGBTQ+ [00:25:46] community, and many wore colorful costumes. Some [00:25:50] came from countries in Asia and other parts of the world. [00:25:54] South Africa has forged a reputation as one of the most [00:25:58] inclusive places in terms of gender in Africa, with full legal [00:26:02] protection for the LGBTQ+ community.
