[00:01:07] begins in the coming [00:01:21] Hello, good afternoon, welcome to your 360 report from Caracas, [00:01:24] Venezuela. Evelyn Guarenas greets you on behalf of the entire team. Let's go straight [00:01:28] to today's headlines. nothing, the war against [00:01:31] Iran, the high cost of living and Trump's immigration policy [00:01:35] precipitated the Republican electoral defeat. We will also [00:01:39] tell you that with more than 900 mobilizations, the people of [00:01:43] Iran commemorated the national day of [00:01:46] the fight against global arrogance. [00:01:49] On the other hand, Russia commemorates National [00:01:53] Unity Day. This date symbolizes political reconciliation [00:01:56] and sovereign unity among the peoples of Russia. [00:02:12] according to what I was [00:02:45] Well, on this day, [00:02:50] a decisive date and state in the region Wednesday, November 4, of course, the main topic has to do with the victory of the Democratic Party in the midterm elections [00:02:53] in the United States that concluded yesterday. [00:02:58] can do to be a From Washington, our colleague Jorge [00:03:00] Gestoso with the details of this information, the reactions [00:03:04] and above all, what awaits President Donald Trump's government [00:03:08] now that the Congress is governed [00:03:11] by Democrats. Go ahead, Jorge, [00:03:13] welcome. [00:03:16] Evelyn, President Donald Trump had [00:03:19] said before yesterday's midterm legislative elections [00:03:24] 2 years ago, that it was going to be a referendum [00:03:26] on him. Forget about voting [00:03:30] for what concerns senators, congressmen, [00:03:33] governors, think that you are [00:03:36] voting for me, well, he received a [00:03:39] sovereign beating, here at the official [00:03:42] level, the experts [00:03:45] say this has been a tsunami of the Democrats [00:03:47] where they really [00:03:51] overwhelmed the control of the Congress precisely behind me. [00:03:55] winning both chambers, winning governorships [00:03:58] and ultimately what was expected was [00:04:02] the reaction of President Trump today, instead of [00:04:04] talking about the results, he appeared [00:04:07] in front of the cameras next [00:04:10] that is not intimidated to the ballroom that he is building [00:04:13] in the White House, that so you have an idea [00:04:17] of how he has tried to avoid officially [00:04:20] assuming this... defeat, although he also made [00:04:24] it known that he was going to collaborate with the [00:04:27] Democrats, that he ultimately [00:04:30] did not question the results, [00:04:32] consolidating a project focused on but he did say that he has a weapon that he [00:04:35] plans to use as often [00:04:39] these difficulties and as he deems necessary, which is veto, veto and veto, he [00:04:43] said so. On the other hand, what is being talked about, [00:04:46] which can also be very significant, is the atmosphere that has [00:04:49] been experienced within the White House, it was leaked [00:04:53] that circulated among the other participants of the [00:04:56] team around President Donald Trump and it was [00:05:00] learned that it said three [00:05:04] messages that we should forget about [00:05:07] recovering the lower house, [00:05:10] that is, the House of Representatives, let's forget about [00:05:14] doing it until 2030, [00:05:17] let's forget about recovering Congress until [00:05:21] 2032, this is also very [00:05:24] interesting, they said, [00:05:27] let JD, JDB know [00:05:30] for the president, the vice president, President [00:05:34] JD Vance, tell him to forget [00:05:36] about 2028, that is, supposedly these were [00:05:40] presidential aspirations of the vice president, [00:05:43] that in some way paints a broad stroke, the positive [00:05:47] atmosphere, the admission of a [00:05:50] defeat that has changed the political history [00:05:52] of the United States, a referendum for President Trump [00:05:56] who receives a sovereign beating, an atmosphere [00:05:59] within the White House where clearly [00:06:02] pessimism reigns and on the Democratic side, it is also [00:06:05] interesting to highlight the advance within the most [00:06:09] progressive sectors within the Democratic Party, [00:06:12] either with Abdul Al- Saieb, today's [00:06:16] senator for the state of Michigan who won precisely [00:06:20] a seat, also in the case of a Palestinian [00:06:23] woman, but who is winning a [00:06:25] seat in what has to do with the [00:06:29] parliament in New York, so [00:06:33] a very interesting topic for the Hispanic [00:06:36] and Latin American community in the United States and for [00:06:40] all of Latin America is that the United States [00:06:43] has four border states with northern Mexico, [00:06:46] all four for the first time are under [00:06:49] Democratic governors. in the case of Texas, it had [00:06:52] been a tradition that it had always been Republican, [00:06:56] in that sense we are also thinking that [00:07:00] a new era is beginning in politics, President [00:07:03] Donald Trump either adjusts what has to do with his [00:07:07] great priorities or [00:07:10] definitely President [00:07:13] Trump could face even the possibility of an [00:07:16] impeachment, that is, a political trial, so Evelyn. [00:07:19] The situation is very fluid, [00:07:22] Jorge, there are many reactions worldwide, it is said [00:07:25] that it is a blow to the global right, [00:07:28] this result with this overwhelming defeat [00:07:32] for the Republicans, but what can we say, what can [00:07:36] they do, what is the biggest challenge for the Democrats [00:07:39] now where the progressive sectors are reflected [00:07:43] in this victory for the first time of an African-descendant [00:07:45] woman, indigenous, a first [00:07:49] Muslim. What would that challenge be? [00:07:52] Speculatively, obviously, we are in a terrain [00:07:55] where we do not have verifiable elements. [00:07:59] Common sense allows us to think that since they will be [00:08:03] in charge of many commissions, of many committees, through [00:08:07] those committees they can promote an agenda that has [00:08:10] much more to do with supporting social [00:08:13] issues, the issue of [00:08:17] the fight against inequality or dealing with [00:08:20] key issues such as health, such [00:08:24] as housing, such as work, [00:08:28] immigration, where also many Hispanic voters [00:08:32] who had voted for President Trump in the election [00:08:36] practically, 50% of the [00:08:40] Hispanics who voted for him are voting in this election, [00:08:43] have voted in this election against President Trump, [00:08:46] that is an issue that we can expect that the Democrats [00:08:49] will precisely promote a much more "human" [00:08:53] agenda and they have to define a candidate, [00:08:57] there is no clear name that is beginning to emerge from which [00:09:01] the possible candidates for the presidency [00:09:04] next year could come, we are talking about [00:09:08] the governor of California, Gerwin Newsom, who [00:09:12] apparently is almost a given, but [00:09:15] other candidates from the more progressive, more [00:09:19] socialist wing of the Democrats could emerge [00:09:23] who would possibly give a new impetus, new [00:09:26] oxygen to the Democratic Party. Thank [00:09:30] you very much, Jorge Gestoso, for this coverage of [00:09:33] this election process in the United States [00:09:36] and we continue to address this issue in the Telesur [00:09:39] studio, that is why today we welcome Mariana Aparicio, she [00:09:43] is a professor at the Center for International Relations [00:09:46] of the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences [00:09:49] of UNAM, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, welcome, [00:09:52] how are you, good afternoon, Sevelino, it's a pleasure to be [00:09:56] with you and with the Telesur audience, thank you [00:10:00] Mariana for your time for Telesur, well, Jorge Gestoso told [00:10:03] us in this coverage that now with this [00:10:07] electoral configuration in the United States, there is a [00:10:10] possibility that President Donald Trump could [00:10:27] the tweets that President Trump suggested last night [00:10:31] suggesting the word veto, [00:10:34] no, it is viable, although it seems to me that both the majorities [00:10:38] in both chambers of the Democratic Party, and the Republican [00:10:42] Party, as well as President Trump, will have to make a political [00:10:46] calculation regarding legislative paralysis, [00:10:48] regarding topics not moving from the agenda, or something [00:10:52] that we have known during these 2 years [00:10:55] that President Trump launches a position [00:10:59] where everything has to do with winning, I am making [00:11:02] a reference to trade policy precisely and [00:11:06] all the exaggerated profit makes him [00:11:09] very happy and what he doesn't say is not [00:11:12] negotiable, we will see complications, [00:11:16] I think that there are certain [00:11:19] issues that will be tried to be put on the agenda, [00:11:23] especially because as of today, given the results, [00:11:26] the race for the presidency in the United States [00:11:32] years and it seems to me that neither of the two [00:11:36] parties wants to give elements because the message [00:11:38] that was very clear from the electorate [00:11:42] is that they do not agree with what has been done [00:11:46] in terms of domestic policy, of its economy, [00:11:49] of access to resources and that is punished with [00:11:53] a vote, so it seems to me that both, [00:11:56] both the president and both the Democratic [00:12:00] Party and the Republican Party have to be very [00:12:03] sure about what their negotiation and movement [00:12:06] capacity will be because otherwise they can lose [00:12:10] even more in the following elections. And we could [00:12:14] see a President Donald Trump perhaps more restrained, [00:12:17] perhaps with more moderation regarding international [00:12:20] policy issues due to this issue of [00:12:24] the... We saw, for example, the reaction of stopping [00:12:28] this support to Israel as something immediate, [00:12:31] would you see it as cause and effect, could [00:12:34] we expect more of that type of reaction from President [00:12:38] Donald Trump in terms of decisions, just Berlin, quite the [00:12:41] opposite, it seems to me that by not having control [00:12:44] over internal politics, his international projection [00:12:47] can be much stronger and more solid to show [00:12:51] his power in other latitudes and I think that our [00:12:55] region in some very specific spaces [00:12:59] can be much more latent, this [00:13:02] is also answered with the silence, the precaution [00:13:06] that many heads of state have had, pardon me, [00:13:09] heads of government [00:13:12] to have a position regarding what is happening, [00:13:16] it is not very clear, especially because what [00:13:19] the Democratic Party [00:13:23] real counterweight to Trump's foreign policy [00:13:27] has to do with the Senate precisely, [00:13:29] but what these last two years have shown us with the extraordinary [00:13:33] powers, with the United States being in a situation [00:13:37] of national emergency, makes it possible that [00:13:40] through executive orders, as he has done during [00:13:44] these two years, a series of policies [00:13:47] and an agenda are established that the other powers [00:13:51] later reverse, President Trump has shown [00:13:55] us that he likes things fast and efficient, [00:13:59] and in the case again of one of the great issues [00:14:02] of international policy, which is trade policy, [00:14:06] well, now he has to go to the office of the [00:14:10] trade representative to use trade laws [00:14:14] from the Cold War period to deal with tariffs, [00:14:18] it still remains in question regarding [00:14:21] your question about international policy, how will [00:14:25] the effect be, above all and the big question [00:14:28] is what will happen in Iran if we link [00:14:31] it directly to the prices of energy, specifically [00:14:35] oil, it is not very clear what will happen [00:14:38] in the war with Ukraine and Russia, everything [00:14:42] seems to indicate that that will remain, but [00:14:46] I think there is something we have not talked much [00:14:49] about in this period and that is how relations [00:14:53] with China can or cannot be modified, so [00:14:57] let's say it is Latin America, but there are [00:15:00] certain issues on the international policy agenda that the [00:15:04] Congress, specifically the Senate, could have [00:15:07] a series of checks and balances, but [00:15:11] I think the most important thing the Senate will [00:15:15] do is make an evaluation, not necessarily an impeachment, [00:15:18] but through another avenue, question its secretaries [00:15:22] of state to make President Trump change, which [00:15:25] does not cost him much work to change secretaries [00:15:28] of state, so there he does have a capacity [00:15:32] for interference and evaluation, that is, he has it [00:15:35] difficult, as they say, these two upcoming [00:15:39] years. Yes, I really like the idea [00:15:43] of recalling when they explain the taco policy, [00:15:46] for all those who watch us on Telesur, a taco, [00:15:50] we make a tortilla, we go back and forth. [00:15:54] It seems to me that we are going to be on the [00:15:58] eve of launching a policy, everything that is gained [00:16:01] is possible and what is not feigned or [00:16:05] will say, oh, that is not on the negotiation [00:16:08] table, I think we have to wait, I would [00:16:11] also be of a very prudent view on how [00:16:15] it will react in terms of internal politics, [00:16:19] what is clear in the message is that there [00:16:23] is an electorate that says: we do not agree [00:16:26] with your work, it was already being identified [00:16:30] in the levels of approval of his work, [00:16:33] there was a, let's say, an important doubt because [00:16:37] various polling firms had identified [00:16:40] that the MAGA base was too hard and the [00:16:44] fact that they did not go out into the streets [00:16:48] in a midterm election where traditionally people [00:16:52] have few incentives to go out, it is a normal [00:16:56] working day, one does not have to [00:16:59] take the time, the polling stations are not so [00:17:02] close, there were problems in different states, as [00:17:05] you remember in yesterday's broadcast in the special [00:17:09] program, well, then what happened was going [00:17:12] out into the streets, early voting, that is, [00:17:15] there was a series of conditions and I [00:17:19] think we could be a little more relaxed that [00:17:22] democracy still matters in the United States [00:17:26] and that the votes send a very clear [00:17:29] message and the blue tsunami was terrible, [00:17:32] overwhelming, Mariana, we have to say goodbye [00:17:36] but a very, very, very brief comment regarding [00:17:39] this, it is usual that the president's party, [00:17:41] the party of the incumbent president, does not win [00:17:45] Congress, it is usual, no, the only exceptions [00:17:50] checking were in 98 with Bill Clinton and [00:17:54] in 2002 with George Bush, however, this [00:17:57] Democratic victory is considered humiliating, [00:18:00] a historic setback, your brief comment on [00:18:31] they never imagined they would lose and [00:18:34] political actors came to positions [00:18:38] that go against all MAGA politics, that [00:18:41] is, the entire agenda, Hispanics, Muslims, [00:18:45] people of color, everyone is back [00:18:47] in politics and they are going to push [00:18:51] a very different agenda from what was considered [00:18:54] the consolidation of the [00:19:00] right in the United States and in many parts of the [00:19:03] world, thank you very much, it was a pleasure, [00:19:06] thank you, Mariana Aparicio, [00:19:08] professor at UNAM, the [00:19:15] National Autonomous University of Mexico in political [00:19:18] sciences, analyzing the topic of the midterm [00:19:21] elections in the United States, so we will [00:19:47] mosaic of realities, immerse yourself in the [00:19:51] stories that star our peoples, we offer you [00:19:55] a deep and exhaustive debate of the events [00:19:58] that impact the world, we break down the information [00:20:02] to give you a clear and complete vision, [00:20:06] every week an argument is put on the table [00:20:09] and your opinion is formed in text and [00:20:13] context, only on Tele Zoom, [00:20:16] every day new developments and scenarios unfold [00:20:20] in Latin America and the world, that is why [00:20:24] we always have our agenda [00:20:27] open, remember to follow us [00:20:30] through our multiplatform and be part every [00:20:34] day of the most relevant events, Monday [00:20:44] to Friday, only on TeleSur. [00:20:48] Thank you for continuing with us, this is your [00:20:53] citizens participate in demonstrations called in more [00:20:57] than 900 places in the country to commemorate [00:21:00] the national day of the fight against global [00:21:03] arrogance, also Student Day. From the capital [00:21:06] Tehran, the mobilization began at 9 in the [00:21:10] morning in Palestine Square and has as its [00:21:14] concentration point the former United States Embassy, [00:21:18] occupied by Iranian [00:21:20] students on November 4, 1979. [00:21:24] It is important to highlight that the day is held [00:21:28] under the motto "Homage [00:21:44] to the Martyrs, Fight Against Global Arrogance," [00:21:48] in a context of new tensions and threats [00:21:51] of military confrontation between Tehran and Washington. [00:21:54] During these activities, participants express their [00:21:58] rejection of US policies and reaffirm their support [00:22:02] for the principles of the Islamic Revolution. [00:22:05] The leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, [00:22:09] Seyed Khamenei, assured [00:22:13] that the events in the Persian Gulf and [00:22:16] in the Strait of Hormuz have dismantled the myth [00:22:20] of the invincibility of the United States. In the [00:22:23] framework of the national day of struggle against [00:22:26] global arrogance, the Iranian leader maintained [00:22:30] that national resistance has extended beyond [00:22:34] November 4, a commemorative date that, he affirmed, [00:22:37] now symbolizes a struggle that continues every [00:22:41] day. Khamenei warned that any new US [00:22:43] military aggression against Iran would provoke a [00:22:46] wider response throughout the region. He also [00:22:50] highlighted the articulation of the resistance front [00:22:53] in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen as [00:22:57] part of the efforts to configure a new [00:23:00] world order. And we continue with other [00:23:04] topics from the Eurasian giant. Russia [00:23:07] celebrates today one of its most municipal [00:23:11] civic festivities, a non-working day that [00:23:14] extends throughout the national territory, with [00:23:17] concerts, institutional events and educational [00:23:20] activities. Beyond the calendar, this date [00:23:24] has consolidated as a space for reflection [00:23:27] on the collective identity of the country. Our [00:23:30] correspondent Alex Jasinski has all the information. Russia commemorates [00:23:34] today, November 4, [00:23:40] in the formation of its sovereignty. This [00:23:43] day commemorates the expulsion of the Polish-Lithuanian interventionists in [00:23:47] 1612, an event that put an end to the [00:23:51] so-called Time of Troubles. Officially declared [00:23:55] the Year of Unity of the Peoples of [00:23:58] Russia, 2026 links that historical episode [00:24:01] with the current need to preserve social [00:24:03] cohesion as the basis [00:24:07] of state stability. The new state national [00:24:11] policy strategy established the objective of strengthening [00:24:14] pan-Russian civic identity, while preserving [00:24:18] ethnic and cultural diversity, based on [00:24:21] intercultural dialogue and respect for traditional [00:24:24] religions. The Year of Unity [00:24:27] is not simply the first year of implementing [00:24:30] this strategy, but [00:24:32] also a practical illustration of its priorities. [00:24:36] In the context of the special military [00:24:40] operation and Western sanctions, this commemoration [00:24:43] acquires a more than strategic meaning, [00:24:46] a united people capable of overcoming adversities [00:24:51] and celebrating the memory of collective [00:24:55] sacrifice and institutional [00:24:57] strength, is a society [00:25:00] by external threats and pressures. [00:25:04] Everything related to Russia's policy in [00:25:08] the Soviet era existed in the Council of [00:25:11] Nationalities as a structured state power [00:25:14] body, despite all [00:25:15] the inefficiencies, [00:25:22] despite the difficulties and conflicts, perhaps [00:25:25] even thanks to [00:25:29] contradictions. Russia is the most experienced [00:25:32] in building interethnic harmony, and of [00:25:35] course, the Russian people who formed [00:25:50] The date also has an extensive cultural [00:25:54] program. Moscow hosts the 14th Night of [00:25:58] the Arts with more than 400 activities [00:26:01] throughout the city, while [00:26:05] Nizhny Novgorod, the city where the popular [00:26:08] militia that liberated Moscow in 1612 [00:26:12] was born, hosts [00:26:18] the central events that transform memory into [00:26:22] a living symbol of integration. The main [00:26:25] force, the main protection of our [00:26:28] state, is our unity. It seems that we are beginning [00:26:37] to understand that history does not disappear. [00:26:40] First of all, history is in us, as [00:26:44] and its cessation of operations, 3 million [00:26:47] people have been affected by this situation and [00:26:51] the dimension of the problem lies in the fact that Paraguay doesn't even reach [00:26:55] 7 million inhabitants. [00:26:57] In addition, the main social security entity in the country, which offers [00:27:01] health insurance and... mandatory for all formalized private sector [00:27:05] workers, IPS, deposited [00:27:08] 300, almost 350 million [00:27:11] dollars in this banking entity. The uncertainty [00:27:14] surrounding retirement funds and the [00:27:17] indignation of all the people who have their money [00:27:21] withheld or who can't even collect their salaries through Bueno [00:27:25] Bank, triggers this situation and the political fact, tomorrow the [00:27:29] Chamber of Deputies will deal with a request [00:27:32] for political impeachment. 35 legislators have signed an accusatory document [00:27:36] and have requested an extraordinary session. The [00:27:40] conservative Colorado Party, from its ruling caucus, which is suffering [00:27:43] a political crisis at this moment, has announced that it is releasing [00:27:47] the votes, so it is very likely that Santiago Peña [00:27:51] Palacios will cease to be president of the republic in the coming [00:27:54] days. It remains to be seen if Pedro Aliana will suffer the [00:27:58] same fate or complete his mandate. Let's remember that if there is a [00:28:02] political impeachment at this moment, there will be no [00:28:05] new elections, but rather the mandate of Peña [00:28:08] capital. Our colleague Palacios will have [00:28:10] to continue. What those who are mobilizing today here are requesting is that Santiago Peña [00:28:14] face justice and if there are grounds and if he is [00:28:18] found guilty through a trial, he will end up in prison for having [00:28:21] defrauded so many people. Let's remember that Peña was a partner until [00:28:25] March 2025 of Bueno Colding, a company [00:28:28] linked to Bueno Bank, the bankrupt, now [00:28:31] defunct Bueno Bank. So the mobilization continues here and we are [00:28:35] expectant about what will emerge regarding the political impeachment [00:28:38] of President Santiago Peña. This is the information I have for now from [00:28:42] here. Thank you very much to [00:29:06] It is no longer just a test of courage to face a [00:29:10] risk, another kind of courage is needed, the courage of [00:29:13] perseverance, the courage of tenacity, the courage of [00:29:17] resistance, it is an important [00:29:20] moral problem, it is precisely that which brings [00:29:23] us closer to the true concept of revolutionary, to the [00:29:27] concept of man and more than man, of [00:29:30] revolutionary, who as he used to say is the most [00:29:34] honorable title, the highest position a man [00:29:37] can aspire to, to be a revolutionary.

[00:30:10] After the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution, Nicaragua [00:30:13] held its first democratic elections organized by the [00:30:17] FSLN. With popular support, candidate [00:30:21] Daniel Ortega obtained a resounding victory, [00:30:25] despite the opposition boycott and pressure from the United States, [00:30:29] international observers validated the process, [00:30:34] social justice, literacy, and national [00:30:38] sovereignty.
