00:01:52minutes of information, let's begin.
00:01:56This Thursday, the formal
00:01:59como niños 3" has begun with establishment of the national dialogue table between spokespersons of the National
00:02:02Assembly of 2015 and the governmental
00:02:05representation
00:02:07the mark of 20 home runs so will take place starting at 1 p.m. The meeting, which will be held at the Simón Bolívar Park Convention
00:02:11Center, located within the Generalissimo
00:02:15Francisco de Miranda air base in La Carlota, establishes the beginning of a new stage of
00:02:19negotiations. The agenda will cover
00:02:21Zulia, with rainfall possible in attention to the emergency, responses and measures to the double earthquake
00:02:24recorded on June 24, as well as the
00:02:27re-institutionalization and renewal of public powers, such as the Supreme
00:02:31Court of Justice and the National
00:02:34strategic for the security of Electoral Council. Finally, they will discuss agreements on rights and
00:02:38thus reaching the meteoric figure of guarantees for the different actors in the national political landscape.
00:02:40Let us remember that the officialist team will be led by the president of the
00:02:44National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, while the opposition
00:02:47sector will be presided over by deputy Dignora Figuera.
00:02:50It should be noted that this process will be supported by the observation and
00:02:54monitoring of US delegates, who
00:02:57will have a role in accompanying each stage of the conversations to ensure that
00:03:01the dialogue proceeds smoothly, fairly, and is oriented towards concrete
00:03:04results for the stability of Venezuela. The
00:03:07representative of the National Assembly elected in 2015, Dinora Figuera, arrived in
00:03:11Venezuela with the objective of formally initiating the cycle of
00:03:15negotiations with representatives of the national government.
00:03:18Figuera, upon her arrival at José Antonio Anzuategi International
00:03:22Airport in Barcelona, from Spain, along with deputies Marco Quiñones and
00:03:26Jorge Millan, affirmed that the
00:03:29He also highlighted that the team has had main objective of this business table will be to address the institutionality of the
00:03:32country. In that sense, she explained that the priority issues on the
00:03:36agenda include the National Electoral Council, the Supreme Court of
00:03:40Justice, and guarantees for the exercise of political and
00:03:43civil rights. The opposition representative
00:03:46explained that addressing these issues will require research and
00:03:50technical contributions. She also specified that attention to the victims
00:03:53of the earthquakes in La Guaira and Caracas is part of the priority
00:03:57agenda. The Secretary General of the United
00:04:02certification. With the formal establishment of Socialist Party of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello, reaffirmed the national government's
00:04:04willingness to maintain dialogue with the various sectors of the Venezuelan opposition.
00:04:08There it is, Venezuela has always
00:04:11bet on peace, the tranquility of
00:04:14our country. Venezuela always, the people of
00:04:18Venezuela, always, always, always respond to all
00:04:21calls. Here there is a permanent dialogue
00:04:24at the level of communities, streets,
00:04:28and towns.
00:04:30those of the communes, every day, every day
00:04:34there is a dialogue, these people want to join the dialogues
00:04:38for peace for this country,
00:04:40welcome, as long as they come to add, as long as they come
00:04:44to add within the framework of this
00:04:48constitution, the Minister of Interior, Justice
00:04:51and Peace also rejected the criticisms and
00:04:54accusations against the controlled demolition of
00:04:58a building at risk on the beach.
00:05:02A controlled explosion
00:05:06requires taking all
00:05:09protective
00:05:11provisions of Article 10 of measures.
00:05:14the little stars, journalists, or
00:05:17pseudo-journalists,
00:05:18mercenaries
00:05:21are not above protective measures. Who
00:05:27union? No.
00:05:29The press union should demand ethics from its
00:05:32members, it doesn't do that. That
00:05:35limit should be set by the press
00:05:38union.
00:05:40But where can people be? without the experts, he concluded
00:05:44by pointing out that sectors tried to politicize the
00:05:47demolition operation of the structures declared at
00:05:50risk, assuring that the work concluded as
00:05:54planned.
00:05:56The President of the United States, Donald Trump, expressed his satisfaction
00:06:00with the current dynamic on the bilateral agenda with
00:06:03Venezuela. During his speech, the US
00:06:06president highlighted the positive evolution of economic exchanges
00:06:09and work agreements made between both
00:06:12nations. He also highlighted the constant flow of
00:06:16hydrocarbons and the diplomatic closeness achieved in this new
00:06:19period. In this context, he emphasized the volume of crude oil
00:06:22processed and the great energy potential of the country within the
00:06:26global market. Trump assured that billions of barrels of
00:06:30oil are flowing, reminding that Venezuela is positioned
00:06:33as one of the nations with the largest oil resources in the entire
00:06:37world. The reconstruction of the country after the
00:06:40double earthquake must be addressed with utmost urgency. However,
00:06:44Julio Celini Ramos, councilman of the municipality of
00:06:47Alatilla, stated during an interview on the front page that
00:06:51re-institutionalization
00:06:53must be worked on concurrently and not postponed
00:06:57until the end of the recovery. It
00:07:00is important to take into consideration that although it
00:07:03is true that it must be addressed urgently,
00:07:06that is, the issue of the issue of
00:07:09the devastation after the double seismic event, consequences and the
00:07:13reconstruction that the country is called to, of course it is
00:07:16important and urgent, but the issue of
00:07:20re-institutionalization is also important and urgent, which can
00:07:23go hand in hand, that is, we cannot conceive that
00:07:26it is intended to propose a recovery phase that can take
00:07:30years and then at the end of that phase would be
00:07:34when we would address the issues that have to do with re-institutionalization. I believe
00:07:37that working committees must be established, the government
00:07:41for its part will have to carry out
00:07:45the necessary actions for recovery, with the help obviously of the international
00:07:49community, and on the other hand, arbitrate the necessary
00:07:52mechanisms for the issue of re-institutionalization. In the
00:07:56San Pedro parish of Caracas, 67 homes that suffered
00:07:59damage from the tremors of June 24 were recovered
00:08:03and delivered, as reported by the head of government of the
00:08:06capital district, Naún Fernández. Fernández
00:08:09announced that the initial deployment guarantees the safe
00:08:13return to their homes of 370 inhabitants grouped into
00:08:1667 families in the area, and what we are talking
00:08:20about here is the rebirth of Venezuela, the rebirth of
00:08:23hope, and that is why our people here are very
00:08:27happy. We tell you that all the buildings that we have inspected
00:08:31inside and out are already rehabilitated. Five
00:08:34buildings that we are delivering out of 14 that we are intervening in this
00:08:38commune, precisely these five
00:08:40buildings are named:
00:08:44Caribana, Pompey, Diamante, Las
00:08:47Aulas, and San Gerardo, who are currently receiving a
00:08:50100% delivery certification. It is necessary
00:08:54to mention that the community of this locality expressed its
00:08:57support for the state plan for the speed and execution of the
00:09:01works, while highlighting the prompt institutional
00:09:04response that allows them to have safe
00:09:07spaces again. Well, at this time we are going to make a connection with our
00:09:11colleague. Damas, he is on Sucre Avenue
00:09:15of Los Dos Caminos, where restoration work is being carried out on the
00:09:19Los Dos Caminos residences after the earthquake of June
00:09:2224. Yes, thank you for the informative contact. I am
00:09:26currently on Sucre Avenue of Los Dos Caminos,
00:09:29specifically behind me is the Dos Caminos residence where the
00:09:32controlled demolition of a floating wall of this
00:09:36residence, which suffered serious damage after the earthquake of July
00:09:4024, is being carried out. Let's talk
00:09:42with the architect, sorry, Taíz Briseño, who is
00:09:45in charge of organizing the remodeling
00:09:48work of this building which is
00:09:51organized by the mayor's office of the Sucre municipality, so that she can tell us a little about how the
00:09:55reconstruction work of this infrastructure is progressing.
00:09:58Well, we are, as you said, in the Los
00:10:02Dos Caminos building on Sucre Avenue in the Sucre
00:10:06municipality. This building is
00:10:09old, it is a construction from 1959
00:10:12and as a result of the earthquake and tremor, it had a
00:10:15failure in a wall, the floating
00:10:18wall that is the facade of
00:10:21the building. The
00:10:25beams and well, we are doing the controlled demolition,
00:10:29the beams were even demolished, we have to do a
00:10:32reconstruction, reinforce the wall to be able to
00:10:36put the fittings back on the building. How long do you
00:10:40estimate these works will last? Well,
00:10:43we have been
00:10:46doing the demolition for a week, three days ago,
00:10:49we have to pour concrete, we have to wait
00:10:52for the concrete to
00:10:56cure to rebuild the
00:10:59walls, but in the same way, this building had that
00:11:03same failure in all the floating walls it has on its three
00:11:06facades, so I think we cannot
00:11:10determine how long we can take, because beyond the fact that
00:11:13it is masonry damage, what the
00:11:17building suffered is severe. How many people do you have deployed
00:11:21here? We are about 30 people,
00:11:25including professionals, workers,
00:11:28engineers at this moment. Well, you heard
00:11:31the statements of Taíz Briseño, who is the
00:11:35the remodeling and controlled demolition
00:11:39of this floating wall here in the Dos Caminos residence,
00:11:43in charge of the mayor's office of the Sucre municipality. With this information, I return the contact to the studio.
00:11:47Go ahead. Thank you, Rodolfo, for this information. We continue with more news that
00:11:50the head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of
00:11:55Humanitarian Affairs in the country, Vanessa Mey,
00:11:58highlighted the importance of having direct and constant
00:12:02contact with the communities affected by
00:12:05the earthquakes of June 24 in order to provide immediate
00:12:08and accurate responses to their
00:12:11needs. We have control and monitoring
00:12:15mechanisms that are also very robust and that
00:12:18ensures that aid reaches the people who need it directly. We work
00:12:22with implementing partners who have also been certified
00:12:25previously, who have a track record not only in
00:12:28Venezuela but throughout the world, who can implement resources
00:12:32transparently, and we also have tools that are even
00:12:36available online for
00:12:40anyone who wants them. For example, we have a tool called the
00:12:435W, which basically shows you in real time who is
00:12:47doing what and where and in what sectors. This is very
00:12:50important in terms of accountability because accountability for us is not
00:12:53only for our donors, but also for the population,
00:12:57right? So it is very important for us to also integrate
00:13:00the voices of the communities, what the communities need,
00:13:03and how we can integrate that into our response, and also
00:13:07give back what they tell us, because we are talking to them
00:13:10all the time, and I think that is fundamental. Yumare,
00:13:14a one-and-a-half-month-old Border Collie puppy, will take over
00:13:18from rescue dog Tsunami in the
00:13:20rescue unit after the dog's official
00:13:24retirement. The puppy, donated from Puerto La Cruz, was
00:13:28baptized with an indigenous word whose meaning refers to the link between
00:13:31heaven and earth. Her trainer Jorge Bens
00:13:34noted that from her first weeks of life, she has shown a high
00:13:37receptivity to stimuli. In his opinion, this is
00:13:40a fundamental quality for developing the search profile for
00:13:44collapsed structures. He explained that the early
00:13:47training plan seeks to maintain the highest standards of response to
00:13:50local contingencies.
00:13:54the support of the community through the donation of food
00:13:58supplies and veterinary care services to ensure the optimal
00:14:01development of the future rescuer.
00:14:04Well, at 12:13, we are going to take a first break here in the midday
00:17:28The Ministry of Transport reported that Maiquetia International Airport was
00:17:31reactivated with the arrival of two cargo flights, one from Panama and
00:17:35another from Colombia. The Minister of Transport, Francisco
00:17:39Garcés, indicated that the resumption of operations began with the arrival of a
00:17:42cargo flight from the Uniword airline with merchandise
00:17:46from Panama. For its part, a cargo
00:17:49flight from DHL company arrived from Colombia with more than 13 tons of
00:17:53merchandise. The head of the transport ministry
00:17:57indicated that the arrival of these flights represents a significant
00:18:00advance for the commercial logistics of the country and the
00:18:04Simón Bolívar International Airport of Maiquetía, affected
00:18:08by the earthquakes of last June 24.
00:18:10National Deputy and president of the parliamentary friendship
00:18:14group Venezuela-United States, Antonio Carri, led the
00:18:18signing of an agreement to transform the Palo Negro air base in
00:18:22Maracay, Aragua state. We are going to sign today an agreement
00:18:26of institutional cooperation between the
00:18:28Libertador municipality mayor's office, the Municipal
00:18:32Council of the Libertador Municipality
00:18:36and also the parliamentary
00:18:39friendship group United States-Venezuela, and we will do
00:18:42so to promote a development project. We have
00:18:45the OFAC GL60
00:18:48license dated June 25,
00:18:522026 for reconstruction work on the
00:18:55occasion of the earthquake.
00:18:57We have a great opportunity and the door is open. On the other
00:19:01hand, the parliamentarian underlined that the initiative seeks to diversify national
00:19:05air connectivity
00:19:07without intending to replace the country's main
00:19:11terminal. Palonegro has a
00:19:13concrete runway today,
00:19:16approximately 3,170
00:19:19meters, a runway, it is not yet an airport. To get
00:19:23there we need terminals, platforms, taxiways,
00:19:27navigation systems, emergency services,
00:19:31accesses, customs, immigration, and a
00:19:34rigorous aeronautical
00:19:39the first professional technical table, local
00:19:42and legislative authorities are taking a firm
00:19:45step to boost the Aragua infrastructure
00:19:48and seek to convert Palo Negro into the most important
00:19:51international airport in Latin
00:19:54America. The President of the Republic, Delsi
00:19:58Rodríguez, held a meeting with the executive delegation of the African
00:20:01Chamber of Energy to evaluate investment alliances
00:20:04in oil and gas
00:20:07sectors. During the meeting, the parties reviewed
00:20:11technical and commercial cooperation mechanisms aimed at
00:20:14strengthening the productive capacity of the hydrocarbon
00:20:17industry and promoting new international
00:20:21investment opportunities. The meeting is part of the executive's
00:20:24strategy to promote energy cooperation with
00:20:27international partners, strengthen the development of
00:20:31joint projects, and expand business opportunities in the
00:20:34sector. The African Chamber of Energy
00:20:38brings together companies and institutions linked to the sector and
00:20:41promotes investment, cooperation, and development
00:20:44initiatives in the hydrocarbon sector. Later, President Rodríguez
00:20:48also held a working meeting with representatives of the international
00:20:52seismic engineering firms Miyamoto
00:20:55International and TFFI Solution to evaluate
00:20:58strategies aimed at sustainable urban
00:21:02development. The firms Miyamoto International and
00:21:05TFI Solution have experience in
00:21:08structural engineering and risk management, key
00:21:12areas for the design of solutions that allow
00:21:15progress towards more resilient
00:21:17infrastructures to telluric movements. The mayor of the
00:21:21Sotillo municipality, Jesús Marcano Tábata,
00:21:24will convert the old waste
00:21:27Avenue in Puerto La Cruz into a space for the
00:21:30development of productive and welfare activities for the
00:21:34jurisdiction. After more than 10 years of
00:21:38operation, he explained that the measure responds to a joint action with Governor
00:21:41Luis Marcano, the Ministry of Eco-socialism, and the organized
00:21:45popular power. He also highlighted that the first phase
00:21:48of the project corresponded to the removal of more than 4,000 tons of
00:21:52solid waste and rubble, which were
00:21:56area's landfill in Anzoátegui, and in the second phase,
00:22:00they will continue with the deep sanitation of the affected soil.
00:22:03Subsequently, Marcano announced that in working groups with the organized
00:22:07community, the productive and social
00:22:10welfare projects to be executed will be determined. For their part, spokespersons for
00:22:14the communal council of the Pueblo Nuevo sector indicated that this
00:22:18action resolves discomfort and bad odors that affected the
00:22:22inhabitants of the community and surrounding
00:22:24The Public Defender's Office agreed to establish a work plan with the Federation of
00:22:28Associations of University Professors of
00:22:33which requests related to the labor
00:22:36rights of the guild were raised. During
00:22:39the meeting, the Public Defender Eglé González Lovato
00:22:43committed to evaluating dialogue and articulation
00:22:45mechanisms to promote solutions to the
00:22:49proposals presented by the representatives of the
00:22:53organization. The head of the agency announced the
00:22:56formation of a working group that, together with FAPUV, will develop an
00:23:00interinstitutional agenda and technical
00:23:03tables to monitor the requests of the teaching
00:23:06sector. The FAPUV delegation raised the
00:23:10need for the Public Defender's Office to mediate
00:23:13to promote advances in terms of salary dignification
00:23:16and welfare for teaching staff,
00:23:20as well as to establish dialogue mechanisms that
00:23:24allow addressing their proposals. Well, at
00:23:27this time we are going to establish contact with our
00:23:30correspondent in Táchira state, Francis Games. She is
00:23:33touring the Páramo road, one of the most frequented routes by
00:23:37pilgrims heading to meet the Holy Christ of La
00:23:40Grita.
00:23:42grita.
00:23:51At this moment we are in Páramo El
00:23:54Zumbador, the highest point
00:23:57of this route. Next to me is Gerardo
00:24:01Márquez, he is a paramedic from civil protection. It should be noted
00:24:04that in this space there is a pre-hospital care
00:24:07tent. Gerardo, what is the importance of this
00:24:11point? Well, the importance of this point
00:24:14lies in that first, as you just said, it is
00:24:18the highest point, we are at... 1600 meters above sea
00:24:21level, we have
00:24:25contact or it is the meeting point between three
00:24:28routes. Behind you is the route that comes from San Cristóbal,
00:24:32to my left is the route that comes from Michelena,
00:24:36and in front of you or behind you we have the route
00:24:39that comes from San José de Bolívar, so it is important because it is the meeting
00:24:43point of these three routes, the influx of
00:24:46pilgrims is quite important. Also,
00:24:50well, remember that this is a tourist inn.
00:24:53What are the main attentions that have
00:24:56been carried out here at this pre-hospital care
00:24:59point? The main thing we have
00:25:03is care for muscle contractures,
00:25:06muscle tears,
00:25:09due to fatigue, the effort made by pilgrims to
00:25:13complete this route. In
00:25:15addition to that, blisters on the feet, for that reason it is
00:25:19recommended to pilgrims to wear comfortable
00:25:22footwear, to take breaks for
00:25:25rest, it is also important to have good
00:25:28hydration. Low temperatures
00:25:31are also a factor for them to
00:25:34be able to rest at some points,
00:25:38to be able to have shelter. We have also had
00:25:40light rainfall, but that also,
00:25:44let's say, makes the journey a little
00:25:48slower in that. for the transit of the
00:25:51pilgrims. Basically, we have also had
00:25:55temperatures, the lowest we have recorded
00:25:58approximately 7 degrees.
00:26:01Thank you very much. We were talking with Gerardo
00:26:04Márquez, he is a biomedical civil protection officer,
00:26:08from the Zumbador páramo, we will continue our
00:26:11journey to La Grita, Haureyi municipality. It is
00:26:15worth noting that eight
00:26:18routes were established
00:26:21meet the Christ of the Serene Face. With this information, we return to the
00:26:25studios.
00:26:26estudios.
00:26:35Well, we continue with more information, and that is that according to an expert, the El Niño
00:26:39phenomenon could extend in Venezuela until the first half of
00:26:422027. Meteorologist Luis Vargas
00:26:46pointed out that the El Niño phenomenon of this
00:26:492026 could be one of the most intense
00:26:52since records began and extend in Venezuela until
00:26:56the first half of 2027. The
00:26:59expert stressed that the current period of El Niño
00:27:03could exceed the strongest episodes that have been experienced in the
00:27:07country, such as those of 2015 and
00:27:092016. Vargas detailed that the
00:27:13El Niño climatic phenomenon is of special concern for our
00:27:16next dry period, which begins at the end of November
00:27:20and lasts until April or May, as it will further accentuate
00:27:23the drought condition in Venezuela. This phenomenon
00:27:26alters climatic patterns globally, and according to Vargas,
00:27:30it has no relation to the ones that occur in the country at
00:27:34this time of year. Both El Niño and La Niña are
00:27:37phenomena with planetary repercussions, and in Venezuela, their
00:27:41major effects could begin this month,
00:27:44reducing total rainfall accumulations
00:27:48and favoring an increase in temperatures more than
00:27:51usual, a fact that is already recorded in states like
00:27:54Cojedes and Guárico, as explained by the
00:27:57expert. The National Institute of Meteorology and
00:28:00Hydrology (INAMEH) predicted partially cloudy skies and
00:28:04variable rainfall in much of the country for this Thursday
00:28:07in the afternoon and evening. Cloudy areas with rainfall are
00:28:11expected, some with electrical discharges in our Guayana
00:28:14Esequiba, Delta Amacuro, Monagas, Sucre, Bolívar,
00:28:18Amazonas, Andes, western plains and
00:28:24the central region, pluvial accumulations between 1.55
00:28:27mm. As for temperatures, a minimum of 6°C in measured mountains and
00:28:31maximums close to 38 degrees in Falcón
00:28:33and Zulia. Wave heights oscillating between 1 and
00:28:371.5 m in height along the entire coastal line of the country, lunar
00:28:40phase one day after the last quarter, location of tropical
00:28:43waves, number 34,
00:28:47over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean. Its arrival in our Guayana Esequiba is estimated between
00:28:51Friday 7 and Saturday 8 of August, tropical wave number
00:28:5535 over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean. Its arrival in
00:28:58our Guayana Esequiba is estimated between the 10th and Tuesday 11th of
00:29:04After the viralization of a video showing strange shapes in the
00:29:07Caracas sky, the debate among Internet users did not take
00:29:11long to start. One of the most widespread viral videos
00:29:14on TikTok and Facebook showed an enormous circular
00:29:18silver figure suspended over the Guaira Repano, along
00:29:21with an alarming text informing about
00:29:24the presence of strange entities in the mountain. The
00:29:28video accumulated thousands of views and opened debates in
00:29:31comments about a first contact. The truth is that
00:29:35the original video was real, but it showed a
00:29:38spaceship, but a lenticular cloud. These clouds
00:29:42have a very particular symmetrical shape, similar to a giant
00:29:45disc or lentil, and are formed by the interaction between
00:29:49strong currents of humid air and mountainous
00:29:52structures. As with global phenomena, the combination of
00:29:56optical illusions, astronomical phenomena and the use of videos
00:30:00created with software or AI have been the cause behind the
00:30:04panic, the fascination.
00:30:062:29 minutes, let's take a new break here in the midday broadcast of
00:30:10Globovisión News, on the return to information in international
00:31:15the Vera family,

00:33:0612:32 in the afternoon,
00:33:09we are back with you to share
00:33:12international information now within
00:33:15the framework of this midday
00:33:17broadcast, when one day remains for the
00:33:21transfer of power in Colombia, Cali, the
00:33:24capital of Valle del Cauca, remains
00:33:27armored. That city will host the
00:33:30inauguration of the president-elect Abelardo de la
00:33:34Espriella, who, among other things, has promised a
00:33:37heavy hand against organized crime and subversive
00:33:41groups. Comuna 18. The city of
00:33:45Cali, considered
00:33:49the inauguration ceremony of the president-elect of Colombia
00:33:52Abellardo del Espriella, was armored with a strong
00:33:55contingent from the special operations group and an
00:33:59elite army group, in preparation for the ceremony on August
00:34:027. It is a neighborhood that is
00:34:06located just 5 minutes from the USC Arena
00:34:09of the Santiago de Cali University, where the
00:34:13inauguration will be held. where several
00:34:16international dignitaries will be present,
00:34:19during the deployment of the agents, several searches were carried out
00:34:23at different points on the hillside where criminal gangs are known to
00:34:26operate.
00:34:29In total, the security operation deployed in the capital of the department
00:34:33of Valle del Cauca, in preparation for the inauguration ceremony, will have
00:34:36about 11,000 uniformed police, army and Colombian
00:34:40air force personnel, who will guard the avenues, the airspace,
00:34:44the hills and the stage where the inauguration will take
00:34:47place. Although he will not be
00:34:51present at the swearing-in of his
00:34:53successor, the outgoing president of Colombia, Gustavo
00:34:57Petro, will indeed leave office this August
00:35:007. After 4 years at the
00:35:03head of the Casa de Nariño, Petro was
00:35:07far from fulfilling his two promises, the
00:35:10so-called total peace and the fight against
00:35:13corruption. Despite this, his
00:35:16executive did show progress in
00:35:19terms of social inclusion. The
00:35:23inclusion of historically excluded social sectors,
00:35:26as well as the improvement of their living conditions is one of the main
00:35:30legacies left by the outgoing president of Colombia, Gustavo
00:35:33Petro. Indigenous,
00:35:36Afro-Colombian, peasant leaders and representatives of
00:35:40social organizations were part of his government or
00:35:43held high-level responsibility positions.
00:35:47Similarly, one of the greatest achievements of the leftist was the
00:35:50agrarian reform, which was part of the peace agreement signed with the
00:35:54FARC guerrilla in 2016 and which allowed
00:35:57to formalize more than 2.28 million
00:36:00hectares. Likewise, he delivered 351
00:36:04thousand to peasant families and incorporated another
00:36:07806,081 to advance in a more
00:36:11equitable redistribution. Also, there was a...
00:36:28while extreme poverty fell from 13.8 to
00:36:319.6%.
00:36:34On the other hand, there is health reform, which failed to be
00:36:37approved by Congress, and the total peace
00:36:40policy. The latter sought for all illegal
00:36:43armed groups to lay down their weapons, but violence
00:36:47persisted in different regions and some armed
00:36:50organizations would have strengthened during the Petro
00:36:53government. Corruption was another factor
00:36:57that eroded the mandate of the outgoing president. The biggest
00:37:01scandal, that of the National Risk Management Unit,
00:37:04revealed a network of diversion of public resources and purchase of
00:37:08political support that ended in investigations against high-ranking
00:37:11officials, congressmen, and contractors.
00:37:15Other cases such as the alleged irregular financing of his campaign in
00:37:182022, the controversies between two close
00:37:21collaborators such as Laura Sarabria and Armando Benedetti, as well as the
00:37:25accusations at the end of his term for alleged influence peddling and
00:37:29corruption, ended up weakening one of Petro's main
00:37:32promises, to make politics different from those of
00:37:36traditional governments.
00:37:39With at least 30 projects in Congress, the
00:37:43President of Chile, José Antonio Kast,
00:37:46announced a package of reforms aimed at
00:37:49combating organized crime.
00:37:52Although it remains one of the safest countries
00:37:55in Latin America, the homicide rate
00:37:59in Chile, in the southern nation, has
00:38:02doubled in the last decade, due to the
00:38:06actions of foreign criminal
00:38:08groups.
00:38:13Chilean President José Antonio Kast announced on
00:38:16Wednesday a legislative offensive against organized
00:38:20crime, one of the main pillars of his government since he took
00:38:23power in March, with the promise to tackle crime with a firm hand.
00:38:30There are more than 30 projects, some
00:38:33of which are already in Congress and correspond to parliamentary
00:38:37motions, and others that we will present in the
00:38:40coming days, which will change the way we
00:38:44confront organized crime in
00:38:46Chile. Although Chile continues to be one of the safest
00:38:50countries in Latin America, the homicide rate reached
00:38:535.4 per 100,000 inhabitants in 2025,
00:38:57double that of a decade ago, in a context marked by the
00:39:01expansion of transnational criminal organizations such as
00:39:04the Tren de Aragua. Among the initiatives announced
00:39:08are measures to toughen penalties against those who recruit
00:39:12minors for criminal activities, extend the flagrancy
00:39:15period from 12 to 24 hours to facilitate
00:39:18arrests, and reinforce the expulsions of irregular
00:39:21migrants. We are going to
00:39:24send to the National Congress a constitutional
00:39:27reform that unambiguously enshrines that
00:39:31protecting the safety of people is a duty of the
00:39:35state and that will allow us to have a much
00:39:38broader framework of action and more effective tools
00:39:41to combat crime. Belonging to
00:39:45a criminal organization will itself be a crime
00:39:49with aggravated penalties. The
00:39:52announcement comes at a time when Kast faces questioning
00:39:55for the lack of quick results from his security strategy and after
00:39:59the departure of his first security minister, just
00:40:0269 days after taking
00:40:05office. In addition to his diplomatic
00:40:09differences with the United States, Brazil is experiencing
00:40:12similar clashes with Argentina. The
00:40:15government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has
00:40:19decided to withdraw its ambassador in Buenos Aires
00:40:23and downgrade the bilateral relationship to the
00:40:26level of chargés d'affaires. The Brazilian executive
00:40:30argued that the decision is Brazil's response to
00:40:33the repeated attacks made by Argentine President
00:40:37Javier Milei. With this note,
00:40:40we will conclude this section of international
00:40:44news, then we will take a break, and we will
00:40:46be back with more of this midday broadcast of
00:40:50Globo News.
00:40:53The diplomatic conflict began when Milei attended 10 days ago in Sao
00:40:57Paulo the officialization of the presidential candidacy of Lula's
00:41:00right-wing opponent in the Brazilian elections in October, Flavio
00:41:03Bolsonaro, son of the former president Jair
00:41:06Bolsonaro. On that occasion, he accused the Brazilian
00:41:10government without proof of political interference against Buenos Aires, and
00:41:13insulted, without directly mentioning them, Lula and Supreme
00:41:16Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Then Brazil
00:41:20recalled its ambassador in Argentina, Julio Bitelli, for the
00:41:23offenses made by the Argentine president and summoned
00:41:27the ambassador of that country to ask for explanations
00:41:30for the aggressions.
00:41:34Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno had sought to lower the tone of the
00:41:37dispute, emphasizing that from Argentina's
00:41:40perspective, there is absolutely no possibility of the diplomatic
00:41:44relationship breaking. However, in recent days Milei
00:41:48redoubled his criticism of Lula in different interviews.
00:42:10health goes beyond urgency, it is
00:42:14built with evidence, with questions that others avoid, very
00:42:18important, a market respecting myopia, years ago

00:43:12Events that transcend borders,
00:43:16every conflict, every protest is not an isolated event, it is part of
00:43:20a much deeper global
