00:04:08week through Globovisión en
00:04:11Vivo TV. With
00:04:14that said, with the team already ready, let's go
00:04:17immediately with the first
00:04:20news of this afternoon.
00:04:24We're going straight to the Middle East,
00:04:28because there, the Houthi, a Shiite
00:04:32and pro-Iranian rebel militia, has
00:04:35launched attacks against
00:04:39and the entire House of Yemeni soldiers, against Yemeni
00:04:41soldiers. In fact, these attacks
00:04:45have left at least 35 servicemen,
00:04:4935 soldiers dead there in
00:04:52Yemen. The attacks
00:04:56This is more or less what we are seeing with were carried out with ballistic missiles, but also with drones
00:05:00against bases located in
00:05:02Hadramaut and Marib.
00:05:06Yemeni military authorities reported that the number of ballistic
00:05:10missiles that impacted the military bases was nine, and they
00:05:14could not determine the total number of drones. The military
00:05:18spokesman for the Houthis, Yahya
00:05:21Iranian-backed Houthi movement carried out a precise,
00:05:24large-scale operation against concentrations of troops
00:05:28hired by Saudi Arabia and assured that a large number of
00:05:31mercenaries were annihilated or wounded during the
00:05:34attacks. For its part, the Yemeni government announced a series of
00:05:38military and security measures to counteract the
00:05:42Iranian-backed group. The attack
00:05:44perpetrated by the insurgents is one of the deadliest
00:05:48executed against the internationally recognized Yemeni
00:05:51government since the UN-backed truce
00:05:54that came into effect in 2022. It is
00:05:57worth noting that the new attacks come amid a sharp
00:06:00escalation of the conflict in Yemen, after the Houthis
00:06:04claimed repeated missile and drone attacks against
00:06:07maritime targets linked to Saudi Arabia in the Red
00:06:11Sea in recent weeks.
00:06:15We are staying in the Middle East because both
00:06:18Iran and Oman have
00:06:21reached a safe navigation agreement
00:06:25through the Strait of Hormuz, as we have
00:06:27mentioned in several of our broadcasts.
00:06:31Hormuz, a key channel
00:06:34for the circulation of vessels
00:06:37transporting oil coming from the
00:06:41Persian Gulf and going to different parts of the
00:06:44world, remains controlled by Iran. Well, thanks
00:06:48to bilateral conversations, both
00:06:51Oman and Iran have managed to reach, as
00:06:54we said, an agreement for ships to transit
00:06:58safely through the Strait of Hormuz. The
00:07:01transit of ships through the Strait of Hormuz could be safe
00:07:05again. This Thursday, Iran and Oman announced an
00:07:09agreement that would guarantee the flow of merchant ships through that
00:07:12maritime route. Hormuz, a natural channel shared by
00:07:15Iran, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates, has
00:07:19remained blocked by the Islamic Republic since the beginning of its
00:07:22conflict with the American Union. The measure has
00:07:25hampered the circulation of vessels,
00:07:29particularly those transporting oil and liquefied gas from the
00:07:32Persian Gulf to different parts of the planet, therefore an
00:07:36agreed reopening would represent good news for the
00:07:39global energy market, whose volatility has not ceased since
00:07:43the beginning of the confrontation between Washington and Tehran.
00:07:47From that latter capital, it has been pointed out that fulfilling what was
00:07:51agreed with Oman will largely depend on the actions
00:07:54implemented by the US government and armed
00:07:57forces. The American Union has focused on
00:08:00attacking military assets that weaken Iran's ability
00:08:03to control the Strait and to threaten ships that
00:08:07attempt to transit through it. In addition, President
00:08:10Donald Trump has not stopped
00:08:13making threats, warning that Tehran could
00:08:16pay a heavy price if it does not return to the negotiating table or surrender.
00:08:20On the eve of the announcement of the coordinates
00:08:23agreed upon by Iran and Oman, US Vice President
00:08:26JD Vance commented that negotiations with the
00:08:30Islamic Republic have been
00:08:33the White House stressed that the
00:08:37the Persian Nation have been harmed by the great
00:08:40divisions within the Ayatollah regime. According to Vance,
00:08:44some Iranian officials want to end a war that has
00:08:48lasted for 5 months and that seems to have no end.
00:08:51Meanwhile, other leaders with a much more extremist position
00:08:55would be betting on the continuity of
00:08:58hostilities.
00:09:00The United Nations accused Israel of launching
00:09:03new attacks on Lebanon. According to the
00:09:07UN peace mission, the Hebrew state launched
00:09:10up to 113 projectiles
00:09:14against different points in the south of the Lebanese
00:09:17geography. The UN peace mission,
00:09:21deployed in the region, denounced a series of
00:09:25daily violations of Lebanese airspace
00:09:27as well as military activities on the
00:09:31ground perpetrated by the Hebrew state. In fact,
00:09:35the organization explained that the latest attack, in which at
00:09:38least 12 people were injured, constituted
00:09:42the highest number of attacks
00:09:45recorded in a single day since both countries
00:09:48reached a security agreement at the end of
00:09:51June. The bombing occurs at a crucial
00:09:54moment. Israel attacks at the same time that the
00:09:58seventh round of talks with Lebanon, which is currently
00:10:01taking place in Rome and is mediated by the United
00:10:05States, is presented. A spokesperson for the American
00:10:08Union at the meeting described the meeting as extremely
00:10:12productive, although it concluded due to the
00:10:15events. The conflict in Lebanon
00:10:18erupted on March 2, after the Shiite
00:10:22group, Hezbollah, launched attacks against
00:10:25Israel. Hezbollah's attack was motivated by the US and
00:10:29Israeli offensive at the end of February on its
00:10:32ally, the Islamic Republic of Iran. In mid-
00:10:36April, the governments of Lebanon and Israel began
00:10:39a negotiation process without the participation
00:10:42of Hezbollah, which resulted in the security
00:10:46agreement of June 26. Almost a month
00:10:49later, on July 31, Israel and the armed
00:10:53group began a new round of negotiations,
00:10:57where the disarmament of the Shiite group and the gradual withdrawal
00:11:00of Israeli forces in southern Lebanon were proposed. The
00:11:03conflict between both nations already
00:11:06accounts for 4,300 people dead
00:11:09and more than a million displaced.
00:11:13At
00:11:17going to take our first break in this evening
00:11:21edition of Globovisión Internacionales news.
00:11:24When we return, we will be speaking with Guillermo
00:11:27Spina, a political international
00:11:30analyst, also a professor at the University
00:11:33of San Buenaventura in Colombia. With him,
00:11:37we will talk about the Democratic primaries in the
00:11:41state of Michigan. The United States is preparing for midterm
00:11:44elections, and that is what we will
00:11:47discuss when we return from
00:11:50commercials.
00:12:11Venezuelan family, this Sunday I'm in the mood for
00:12:14falling in love, that's why I tell her from sun to
00:12:18sun you are for
00:12:19me.
00:12:23I will also tell you, I love
00:12:27you, I love you,
00:12:30because I love you,
00:12:33I love you, and I even confess it in Italian,
00:12:37ti voglio tanto
00:12:40bene.
00:12:46Don't look any further, because nostalgia, sentiment,
00:12:49and fond memories are here in the
00:12:53golden years. With whom else, with
00:12:57Papi.
00:13:02The golden years with Álvaro Cuchillo Durán,
00:13:04Sunday 7 PM on
00:13:08Globovisión.
00:13:446:43 PM, we continue with more of this
00:13:47evening edition of Globovisión International
00:13:51news. In November
00:13:552026, the United States will hold midterm
00:13:59elections. These are legislative elections in which the
00:14:02House of Representatives and a percentage of the
00:14:06Senate will be completely renewed. In view of
00:14:09that vote, the dominant parties, the Republican
00:14:12and the Democratic, hold some primary
00:14:15processes. In Michigan, for example,
00:14:18Abdul El Sayed, a 41-year-old doctor
00:14:21with progressive leanings, defeated
00:14:25moderate candidate Hally Stevens.
00:14:29Consequently, El Sayed will be the Democratic
00:14:32candidate for the Senate from Michigan in the
00:14:35midterm elections.
00:14:38After his victory in the Michigan Democratic
00:14:42primaries by 1500 votes against the
00:14:46moderate Haley Stevens, backed by the centrist wing
00:14:49of the Democratic Party, El Sayed will face
00:14:53Republican Mike Rogers in November.
00:14:56Rogers secured his party's nomination in the midterm elections,
00:15:00in which one third of the Senate
00:15:04Representatives will be renewed, both currently controlled by the
00:15:07Republicans. The Democrat and progressive Abdul El Sayed
00:15:11aims to challenge the current President of the United States,
00:15:15Donald Trump. The 41-year-old doctor is a strong critic
00:15:18of Washington's support for Israel's actions in Gaza and the
00:15:22way large corporations and action groups
00:15:26finance electoral campaigns in the United States.
00:15:29In addition, he promised that if he wins a seat in the US
00:15:33Senate, he will work for the people and address their
00:15:36main problems, such as health. These elections are
00:15:39key for the future of President Donald Trump's agenda, who has
00:15:43reiterated on various occasions a possible impeachment
00:15:46against him if his opponents regain the majority in
00:15:50Congress. He has campaigned against progressive Democrats,
00:15:53whom he accuses of wanting to ruin the
00:15:56country.
00:16:00going to immediately welcome Guillermo Espina, an international
00:16:04political analyst and professor at the University of
00:16:08San Buenaventura in Colombia. Guillermo, thank
00:16:11you for these minutes, for having accepted the invitation from Globovisión
00:16:15Internacionales News. I would like to
00:16:17start by asking you, why is Michigan such an important
00:16:21state, electorally speaking, so important
00:16:24for both Democrats and
00:16:27Republicans? Welcome.
00:16:31Well, thank you very much for the invitation, first of all, Alejandro. Uh, Michigan is
00:16:34a state of those called, let's say, we have to think about
00:16:38two things. In the elections we have right now for the
00:16:42midterm, where we talk about a renewal of the US Congress,
00:16:45uh, Michigan is important inasmuch as we have
00:16:49almost the desire or the one-to-one vote that Republicans
00:16:52and Democrats are disputing to achieve
00:16:55a majority. So Michigan is a very important state,
00:16:59it is currently Democratic, that position in the Senate
00:17:03is being renewed, and basically Democrats need to
00:17:06hold that seat and win four more seats to be a
00:17:10majority in the US Congress in these midterm elections.
00:17:14But besides that, Michigan has another importance because it is one of those
00:17:17swing states or pivot states. So it's a state that in the different
00:17:21presidential elections has sometimes supported
00:17:24Democrats, sometimes Republicans. Recently
00:17:27Donald Trump, the Republicans won the
00:17:30presidential election, but in the congressional
00:17:33elections, the Democrats took the senator's position. So
00:17:37Michigan becomes a very important battleground because
00:17:41almost every state is being disputed between Democrats
00:17:45and Republicans to achieve a majority. Now, Guillermo,
00:17:48let's talk about Abdul El Sayed. He is a
00:17:5241-year-old doctor who is part
00:17:55of the most progressive wing of the Democratic
00:17:59Party. He has just defeated a conservative
00:18:02or rather moderate candidate,
00:18:06despite being conservative or moderate, she is also in
00:18:09the Democratic Party, Ms. Halley
00:18:12Stevens. We are seeing that the
00:18:16Democratic Party is increasingly leaning towards
00:18:19progressivism, that is, it is abandoning
00:18:22its centrist position to move further and further towards the political
00:18:26left. Well, I think it has more to
00:18:30do with the types of voters the Democratic Party is
00:18:33speaking to. The Democratic Party has a very
00:18:37small sector, or always had a very small sector,
00:18:40almost what was called a "fingernail" of the Democratic
00:18:44Party, which were these progressive sectors, these
00:18:47socialist sectors that for a long time were represented by Senator
00:18:51Bernie Sanders, who was their main representative. Today,
00:18:55there is discontent among voters, just as we saw
00:19:00the right, when the MAGA movement was born, when
00:19:03Trump gained a lot of popularity, yes,
00:19:07uh, these right-wing movements also speak to a voter's discontent.
00:19:10Well, this same phenomenon is happening on the left,
00:19:14so there are two types of voters that we see within the Democratic
00:19:17Party: the moderates, a little more centrist,
00:19:20who are represented by the leader of the Republican
00:19:24Party, Mike Schumer, is represented by Kamala Harris,
00:19:27is represented, let's say, by some traditional politicians, and on
00:19:31the other hand, there is a new Democratic blood that speaks to
00:19:35that voter who is discontent, who... often two types of
00:19:39voters are proposed: a voter who is the young voter, the
00:19:42educated voter, yes, many times it is young people, especially those
00:19:46who are voting for these sectors, they are
00:19:48urban, while there is one who normally speaks to the
00:19:51worker, to the unions, to those in rural areas,
00:19:54the African American population, who is also
00:19:58where the traditional Democratic votes always are.
00:20:01So there is a concern about how radical
00:20:05this new left can be, this progressivism, because it
00:20:08also has certain radical positions, uh, how
00:20:12worrying it can be when it comes to convincing
00:20:16that traditional Democratic electorate, which is much more
00:20:19moderate, especially the working populations in rural
00:20:23areas, the African American population, how convincing can that intellectual
00:20:26discourse of the new left of young people
00:20:30be to succeed in those scenarios?
00:20:34the Democratic Party, a kind of dispute, there is a lot of concern.
00:20:37let's say within the moderate wing of the Democratic Party because
00:20:41basically it is why we are living this
00:20:44situation, it will become radicalized, and if there is a radical discourse from the left,
00:20:48then the discourse. the threat of communism and so on
00:20:52gains more strength and they are worried about that because perhaps this
00:20:56progressive discourse will not convince many voters, but
00:21:00at tea time, I would point out something here, they
00:21:03need to act as a united bloc if they want to win the necessary
00:21:06positions to be a majority, correct.
00:21:09And watch out, not only, not only is it not in the interest of the
00:21:13moderates within the Democratic Party that the progressive
00:21:16wing in some way gains
00:21:20strength, because yes, that would certainly
00:21:23polarize US politics even
00:21:26more, and that polarization benefits
00:21:30President Donald Trump.
00:21:32Now, why are these midterm
00:21:36elections important, Guillermo, and
00:21:39I would like you to answer this question
00:21:43in these last minutes of the interview,
00:21:46why are these midterm elections
00:21:50important not only for the United States, because yes, they are certainly
00:21:54important internally for the United States, but they could
00:21:57also have an impact on US
00:22:00foreign policy? Well,
00:22:04basically, it is
00:22:06because a large part of the actions of the United States, especially
00:22:10military actions, yes,
00:22:14actions with a budget, resources, and allocation of
00:22:17resources, it is very important that it has
00:22:21Senate approval and that it can mobilize the Senate, especially
00:22:25on the issue of international intervention, what we are seeing as the
00:22:28financing of Israel, which is one of the very important points, if the Democrats
00:22:32win, two, the accountability for what is happening
00:22:35in the war in Iran, yes, I think that is a very important issue, the issue of US
00:22:39tariffs, where the US Congress wants to intervene and says
00:22:42many of these imposed tariffs are not legal within
00:22:46this framework, so much of what could happen is that if there
00:22:50is a Democratic majority, many of those
00:22:54policies that Donald Trump currently has could be limited,
00:22:57and that is perhaps a major concern that could arise, and undoubtedly
00:23:01it would limit many of his actions, and even
00:23:05in one of the most hypothetical cases, it could lead to
00:23:08an impeachment of the Naltrom case, that is, a trial of the
00:23:12president for many of his actions that have been committed, especially, for example, what is
00:23:15happening in the Middle East, which was
00:23:19something that was discussed, if we remember in his previous government, it was also discussed
00:23:23that there was a possibility of investigating and prosecuting Donald Trump,
00:23:26so these are concerns that could arise and that a Democratic
00:23:30majority in the Senate could bring about and
00:23:33have these effects. Guillermo, thank you for
00:23:37sharing these minutes with us, thank you for
00:23:40the very clear analysis you have provided
00:23:43in this space. Friends,
00:23:47it was Guillermo, international
00:23:50political analyst, speaking with us
00:23:53on Globovisión International News. With this interview,
00:23:59of the afternoon. Commercials. When we return, more of our program.

00:26:066:55 PM, we are entering the final
00:26:09stretch of this evening edition of Globovisión
00:26:13Internacionales news.
00:26:17With one day remaining for the transfer of power in Colombia,
00:26:20Cali, the capital of Valle del Cauca, remains
00:26:23secured. That city will host the swearing-in of
00:26:27President-elect Abelardo de la
00:26:30Espriella. Commune 18 of the city of
00:26:34Cali, considered strategic
00:26:37inauguration ceremony of Colombia's president-elect,
00:26:41Abilardo del Espriella, was secured with a strong
00:26:44contingent from the special operations group and an elite
00:26:47army group, ahead of the ceremony on August 7.
00:26:51It is a neighborhood that is located just 5
00:26:54minutes from the USC Arena of the
00:26:57Santiago de Cali University, where the swearing-in
00:27:03where several international
00:27:05dignitaries will be present.
00:27:08During the deployment of the agents, several searches were carried out
00:27:11at different points of the hillside where criminal groups
00:27:15operate.
00:27:17In total, the security operation deployed in the capital of the department
00:27:21of Valle del Cauca, for the inauguration ceremony, will have
00:27:25approximately 11,000 uniformed personnel from the police, the army, and the Colombian
00:27:29air force, who will guard the avenues, the airspace,
00:27:32the hills, and the venue where the swearing-in
00:27:36will take place.
00:27:40the swearing-in of his successor, the outgoing
00:27:43president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, will indeed leave
00:27:47office this August 7th. After
00:27:52the Casa de Nariño, Petro was far
00:27:55from fulfilling two of his promises, the
00:27:59so-called Total Peace and the fight against
00:28:03corruption. With this note, we will put an end to the
00:28:07current evening broadcast of Globovisión International
00:28:10News. We bid farewell until
00:28:14tomorrow. The inclusion of historically
00:28:17excluded social sectors, as well as the improvement of their living conditions,
00:28:21is one of the main legacies left by the outgoing
00:28:25president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro.
00:28:28Indigenous leaders, Afro-Colombians, peasants
00:28:31and... members of social organizations were part of his
00:28:35government or held positions of high
00:28:37responsibility.
00:28:39Likewise, one of the greatest achievements of the leftist was the
00:28:43agrarian reform, which was part of the peace agreement signed
00:28:47with the FARC guerrilla in 2016 and which allowed
00:28:50to formalize more than 2.28 million
00:28:53hectares. Likewise, he delivered
00:28:55351 to peasant families and incorporated
00:28:59another 806,081
00:29:01to advance in a more equitable
00:29:04redistribution. Also, there was a
00:29:07significant reduction in poverty, according to the
00:29:10National Administrative Department of Statistics (Dane).
00:29:13Monetary poverty decreased from 36.6% in
00:29:172022 to 28% in
00:29:192025, while extreme poverty fell from
00:29:2313.8% to 9.6%.
00:29:26On the other hand, there is the health reform, which failed to be
00:29:30approved by Congress and the...
00:29:48Corruption was another factor that eroded the mandate of the outgoing
00:29:51president. The biggest scandal, that of the National
00:29:55Unit for Disaster Risk Management, revealed a network of diversion of
00:29:59public resources and purchase of political support. Investigations
00:30:02against high-ranking officials, congressmen, and
00:30:05contractors,
00:30:07other cases such as the alleged irregular financing of his campaign in
00:30:112022, the controversies between two close
00:30:14collaborators like Laura Sarabria and Armando Benedetti, as well as the
00:30:18accusations at the end of his mandate for alleged influence peddling
00:30:21and corruption, ended up weakening one of Petro's
00:30:25main promises, to do politics differently
00:30:28from traditional
00:30:29governments.
00:30:43Faith sustains us in the midst of trials. God's strength
00:30:46and solidarity unite us as one people.
00:30:50The praise party team arrives in
00:30:53La Guaira to be with those affected by the double
00:30:56earthquake, testimonies, prayer,
