00:00:00From Monday to Friday, only on Telesur.
00:00:52Telesur, I am Aron Romero and these are our
00:00:55headlines.
00:00:58We begin in Venezuela, the government has delivered
00:01:02212 homes, all this to families affected by
00:01:06the seismic
00:01:07doublet.
00:01:12In our analysis segment, we talk about artificial intelligence
00:01:16that is at the
00:01:17forefront.
00:01:25And in our digital tour, of course, we have
00:01:28information from the democratic Republic of Congo that prohibits the
00:01:31export of copper and cobalt.
00:01:39with export growth rates
00:01:51cases. We begin, the Venezuelan government delivered 212 rehabilitated homes in the Santa Rosalía parish
00:01:55in Caracas for the benefit of more than 980
00:01:59people affected by the seismic doublet of June 24.
00:02:02The delivery of rehabilitated properties is part of the
00:02:06agenda in the Venezuela Reborn Plan promoted by the acting president of the
00:02:10country, Delcy Rodríguez, to guarantee the right to housing. In Laguaira
00:02:14state, the region most affected after the seismic events, 60 apartments
00:02:18were delivered, allowing the return
00:02:20of 302 people to their
00:02:23homes. In this regard, the acting president praised the work
00:02:27achieved during the repair of structures. after the devastation
00:02:30that affected Venezuelan homes,
00:02:46well we are here in Santa Rosalía, the Santa Rosalía
00:02:50parish in the giant urban development
00:02:54of Latin America, with the presidential commission for housing
00:03:02presidential commission for housing rehabilitation,
00:03:05against Cuba, the revolutionary government of the island prioritizes the
00:03:09well-being of the people, in this sense, new norms have been published by the
00:03:13Ministry of Internal Trade to reorder wholesale
00:03:16trade, create neighborhood markets and strengthen the family
00:03:19care system. In fact, the brutality of the blockade has
00:03:23hit internal new contributions to
00:03:26limitations, the ministry has launched the project. Neighborhood
00:03:30Market, an initiative that seeks to guarantee access to basic
00:03:33necessities for the most vulnerable population.
00:03:37These new provisions also include tax incentives to
00:03:41lower prices with bonuses of up to
00:03:4310% on wholesale sales tax. The new regulations
00:03:46will also regulate supply
00:03:50markets to allow direct access to natural and legal
00:03:53persons. Likewise, the regulations of the family care system
00:03:57that serves the most vulnerable and, exceptionally,
00:04:01pregnant women who require food reinforcement
00:04:06of customs, what are updated.
00:04:13Likewise, the tariff policy promoted by the administration of
00:04:17President Donald Trump faces a new legal challenge in the United States,
00:04:21after a coalition of attorneys general from 25
00:04:24states filed a lawsuit before the International Trade Court,
00:04:28questioning the use of
00:04:30Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act
00:04:33to impose tariffs on dozens of economies,
00:04:37representing 15% including Chile. The action
00:04:40argues that the argument related to forced labor was
00:04:44improperly applied to justify broad
00:04:47trade measures. The appeal requests to suspend tariffs
00:04:51while the process advances and argues that the executive exceeded the
00:04:55powers granted by Congress in terms of trade
00:04:58policy. In the case of Chile, the 12.5%
00:05:02tariff affects a significant portion of its
00:05:05exports to the US market, despite the
00:05:09existence of the free trade agreement between Chile and the United
00:05:12States. If this lawsuit prospers, the ruling could
00:05:15redefine the limits of presidential power in the
00:05:19imposition of trade sanctions and generate repercussions for
00:05:23economic relations between Washington and multiple international partners.
00:05:41We now have information from Argentina. President Javier Milei's government
00:05:45withdrew the bill on the inviolability of private
00:05:48property, the chapter that proposed modifying the rural land
00:05:51regime and raising the limit for foreign
00:05:55ownership to 25%. The decision came after allied
00:05:59governors and legislative blocs anticipated their
00:06:02rejection, leaving the ruling party without the necessary
00:06:05votes to approve the initiative in the Senate. The reversal
00:06:09represents a political setback for the executive, which will now seek
00:06:13to advance only with the reforms related to expropriations,
00:06:15evictions, fire management and modernizations.
00:06:19Social movements and leaders called for mobilizations under the slogan:
00:06:23the homeland is not for sale, all this to express their
00:06:26rejection of this project. The episode
00:06:30also highlights the difficulties of the government.
00:06:33On the other hand, in the province of Raqqa in Syria, the population
00:06:37has shown its discontent after trade was affected
00:06:40by a shortage of foreign currency. Here are the
00:06:44details:
00:06:46The replacement of the old notary in Syria has generated difficulties for
00:06:50economic activity in the province of Raqqa, where numerous
00:06:54citizens went to post offices and authorized
00:06:57centers to exchange their banknotes due to the refusal of businesses
00:07:01and institutions to accept the old currency.
00:07:04The limited availability of exchange points caused long lines and
00:07:08delays that affected daily transactions. Residents
00:07:12of the city expressed their discontent with the complications in accessing the new
00:07:16currency, noting that the situation has paralyzed part of local
00:07:19trade, including food markets and public services
00:07:23that demanded more counters to speed up the exchange
00:07:26process. Regarding the new currency and the pro
00:07:3071, when we go to exchange offices, the dollar is
00:07:33exchanged at 13 Syrian pounds for the new
00:07:36currency, but they charge 20,000 Syrian pounds for
00:07:39exchanging the old currency, which we are supposed to be.
00:07:43Governor of the Central Bank of Syria. If you don't understand these
00:07:46matters then step aside. Previously, the 500-pound
00:07:50banknote was withdrawn and people hardly noticed,
00:07:53then the 100-pound banknote was withdrawn in the same
00:07:57way. This is how a currency should be gradually withdrawn.
00:08:01We go to the electricity department and for the last month they have only
00:08:04accepted the new currency. How are we supposed to
00:08:08get it? We go to the city council and they demand
00:08:12it. We go to the court and they demand it. So how are we going to get
00:08:15it if not through government institutions? The
00:08:19Central Bank of Syria reported that the massive exchange will
00:08:22initially extend until early August and reorganize the
00:08:25country's monetary system.
00:08:28And China is at the world forefront of artificial
00:08:31intelligence, that will be our topic. When we
00:08:35return.
00:09:42to the peoples of America, the Indians, the blacks and the
00:09:46exploited, whether white, whether Indian,
00:09:49whether black. Fidel Castro. August
00:09:536, 1960,
00:09:55speech delivered at the first Latin American Youth Congress,
00:09:58held at the Cerro Stadium, Havana, Cuba.
00:10:02In the face of adversity,
00:10:12the will of the people will never be broken.
00:10:15Firm steps, with real
00:10:21actions, we rebuild every hour. We remain united
00:10:26in a single plan, with the invincible
00:10:29force that defines us, because Venezuela is reborn.
00:11:05The broad masses of scientific and technological workers are an important
00:11:09force in building a great modern socialist country. I hope that
00:11:13all of you will continue the excellent tradition of serving the nation and
00:11:16benefiting the people, making
00:11:20make China a strong country in science and
00:11:23technology.
00:11:55Among the countries that are at the forefront in this field of computing is
00:11:58China, which uses it for different areas,
00:12:02so the modernization of this country. Let's go with the next
00:12:06material.
00:12:09Artificial intelligence ceased to be
00:12:13a technological promise to become the main
00:12:16axis of transformation in the 21st
00:12:19century, just like ancient inventions, today
00:12:23artificial intelligence is beginning to redefine
00:12:26economy, politics, science
00:12:29and culture. In this context, China is
00:12:33at the forefront of the technological era and competes
00:12:36with the United States for global leadership in artificial intelligence.
00:12:40Under this scenario, China's
00:12:44President Shijin Ping has urged
00:12:47accelerating efforts to achieve high
00:12:50self-sufficiency and strength in science and
00:12:53technology and... scientific and technological
00:12:56innovation to support and
00:12:59boost China's
00:13:01modernization.
00:13:04In recent years, China has embraced AI with open
00:13:07arms. We have promoted interaction between an efficient
00:13:10market and a well-functioning government. Strengthened AI
00:13:14innovation, actively promoted the AI Plus initiative
00:13:18and built a healthy ecosystem for all entities
00:13:21to prosper together. The core industries of the
00:13:25intelligent economy are worth at least one trillion yuan. Intelligent
00:13:28manufacturing in China has become another shining hallmark
00:13:32of Chinese modernization. According to
00:13:35data from the World Intellectual Property
00:13:39Organization, between 2024 and 2025, China
00:13:43has concentrated nearly 60% of generative
00:13:46artificial intelligence patent families,
00:13:49consolidating itself as the main pole of technological
00:13:53development on the planet.
00:13:55This leadership not only reflects a sustained
00:13:59investment strategy in research,
00:14:02infrastructure and training, but also the
00:14:05decision to integrate AI as a state
00:14:08policy with a planned economy linked to productive
00:14:12development, industry and national modernization.
00:14:16A very planned economy
00:14:22that made China transform from a purely
00:14:25rural country, in just 80 years, into the second
00:14:29largest economic power in the world. Well, given the growth
00:14:33of the Chinese AI industry, it is expected that it will exceed
00:14:371.2 trillion yuan in 2025, about
00:14:40176.7 billion US dollars, which
00:14:44represents an annual increase of
00:14:4640%. The China Academy of Information
00:14:50and Communications Technology recently stated that
00:14:53as of June this year, China was home to more
00:14:57than 6,600 artificial intelligence companies,
00:15:02of the world's total. The country has
00:15:06developed a complex industrial system that covers
00:15:09fundamental infrastructures, models and frameworks,
00:15:12sector-specific applications.
00:15:15This was indicated by the entity. The application
00:15:18segment represented 55% of the entire
00:15:21artificial intelligence industry chain in 2025,
00:15:25with an increase of
00:15:2722% year-on-year.
00:15:34First, the foundation of computing power has been consolidated. The first
00:15:37100,000-card artificial intelligence cluster manufactured in China has
00:15:41officially been put into operation at the end of June. The scale of national intelligent
00:15:45computing power had reached 2.8 times that of the same
00:15:48period last year. Second, the capabilities of the models have taken a leap
00:15:52forward, local companies like Deepsick and Moonshot have successively launched
00:15:56several open source large models with trillions of parameters. The total global
00:15:59downloads of national large models have exceeded 10 billion and nationally
00:16:03manufactured models are adapting to national computing chips at an
00:16:07accelerated pace. Third, factor flows have become more active, more than
00:16:11120 high-quality datasets have been created and a virtuous
00:16:15circle of reinforcements is being formed that maintained a growth
00:16:18of more than 30% in the first half of this year.
00:16:21In the same area, Chinese exports of artificial
00:16:25intelligence related products have maintained rapid growth
00:16:28in 2026. Currently, China's
00:16:31smartwatches and smart toys are sold in more
00:16:34than 170 countries. 193 make up the United Nations
00:16:38Organization and regions around the world. In the first half
00:16:41of this year, Chinese exports of radars, lasers,
00:16:44used for intelligent driving increased by
00:16:4858.3%, while exports of
00:16:513D printers soared by
00:16:54109.3%. Meanwhile, exports
00:16:57of intelligent bionic robots, based on artificial
00:17:00intelligence technologies, exceeded
00:17:0410,000 units, and intelligent manipulation
00:17:07robots and welding robots continued
00:17:11to expand in the manufacturing market worldwide,
00:17:16exceeding 60% in both
00:17:28In the same way, artificial intelligence promotes consumer
00:17:32products, attracting buyers from China's
00:17:36largest electronic market, to visit Chian Bay in southern
00:17:39China allows buyers to experience firsthand
00:17:43cutting-edge technology, especially products such as smart
00:17:46glasses with real-time translation. According to official
00:17:49data, the area has registered an average of almost
00:17:538 foreign business visitors per day,
00:17:57since the beginning of this year 2026. Likewise,
00:18:00between January and July, sales of artificial
00:18:04intelligence products in this market increased by more
00:18:07than 55% across all categories, with a
00:18:11100% increase in sales of artificial intelligence
00:18:15glasses and an increase of between 60 and 70%
00:18:19in sales of drones and
00:18:19robots.
00:18:25This is an important electronics center in the world, as you know
00:18:29you can find whatever you want, I bought virtual reality
00:18:32glasses, smart glasses, there are so many things
00:18:35here, it's incredible.
00:18:37Sales have already exceeded last year's total in just the first half
00:18:41of this year and foreign markets now account
00:18:45for around 60% of our business. Since the new
00:18:48policy was introduced, our European customers have been the most
00:18:52receptive, they have started placing more customized
00:18:55orders for designs with integrated batteries.
00:18:59With this information, we mark another break here in Economic Impact, but when
00:19:02we return we will be talking about the Democratic Republic of Congo. Well, the
00:19:06government of this African country has taken measures
00:19:10to protect one of its main industries, we'll be back with more.
00:20:03Thank you for staying with us, we share information from this digital tour.
00:20:07The Africa News portal headlines the following: Democratic
00:20:11Republic of Congo, African nation. In this country, the government
00:20:15has prohibited the export of copper and cobalt
00:20:18concentrates. A government report accessed by Reuters
00:20:22News Agency indicates that this is part of the country's
00:20:26attempt to retain a greater amount of income from its
00:20:29vast mineral wealth. The order also includes the introduction
00:20:33of new taxes for economically important mining
00:20:36byproducts. While the prohibition came into effect immediately,
00:20:40the new tax regime for byproducts has a transition
00:20:44period of 3 months.
00:20:46Now we share information
00:20:51from the TelesurTV.net website.
00:20:55Iran and Oman agree on coordinates for a maritime
00:20:58route in the Strait of Hormuz. The authorities of Iran
00:21:02and Oman have reached an agreement on the geographical
00:21:05coordinates of a maritime transit route through the Strait
00:21:08of Hormuz, as reported by the spokesman for the Iranian
00:21:12Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ismail Baguey. The advance seeks
00:21:15to establish technical and navigation guidelines in this
00:21:19strategic passage for global hydrocarbon trade. During
00:21:22his statements, Baguey detailed that the delegations of both
00:21:26countries comprehensively examined the technical,
00:21:29legal, security and environmental dimensions of this
00:21:32project.
00:21:37Next, we have the portal of the Russian media Sputning in its
00:21:41Spanish version: Russia reinforces its commercial presence
00:21:45in Brazil with a new export office. The Russian Export
00:21:48Center has opened a representative office in Rio
00:21:52de Janeiro, as reported by the entity's press service,
00:21:56highlighting that this step allows to expand the commercial
00:21:59presence of the Eurasian country in the market of the South American
00:22:03giant in Brazil. This new branch seeks to facilitate the entry
00:22:06of Russian companies into the Brazilian market, a key destination
00:22:10for non-commodity exports. Cooperation will
00:22:13be carried out in strategic areas of common interest
00:22:16for Russia and Brazil such as industry, construction
00:22:20and the agro-industrial sector. This fact represents another
00:22:24step in the systematic strengthening of the international network
00:22:27that currently covers
00:22:2818 countries.
00:22:33And to conclude this tour, we analyze the headline
00:22:37offered by Europa Press, which states the following:
00:22:40Fuels chain their fifth rise in mid-summer
00:22:43and accumulate an increase of almost
00:22:4520%. The price of a liter of
00:22:48diesel has increased this week by 4.1% compared
00:22:52to the previous one. For its part, the average price of a
00:22:56liter of gasoline this week was 1.687
00:22:59euros, increasing by
00:23:032.61% compared to last week.
00:23:06Likewise, the price of diesel, we are talking of course about
00:23:10a European nation, we are talking about Spain,
00:23:13the price of diesel has accumulated an increase of 19.2%,
00:23:16while that of gasoline has increased by
00:23:2017.3%, placing both fuels at their maximum
00:23:23levels for the week of March 23 or until
00:23:27this day or from this day.
00:23:40We add oil indicators, we start with West Texas,
00:23:44currently at 75.97, an increase of we start with
00:23:47West Texas. currently at $75.97,
