00:00:13in 16 countries in the
00:00:26Good evening, welcome to a new edition of Sur
00:00:30news, an informative journey through what is happening in Latin America and the
00:00:33world. Let's get to our
00:00:35headlines.
00:00:38With the aim of strengthening resistance against imperialist
00:00:42aggressions in the Global South, delegates from all over Latin America and the
00:00:46Caribbean are meeting in
00:00:47Cuba.
00:00:54During a working day, the National Executive reviewed
00:00:59to internal security considerations; the sources of financing to address the damages caused by the earthquakes of
00:01:03June 24th.
00:01:15Authorities completely evacuated the municipality of
00:01:18Summerland in Canada due to the unstoppable advance of a forest
00:01:21fire named Ball
00:01:23Range.
00:01:35I'm Andrea Romero, I'll be with you and we're going with the news. The president
00:01:39of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, received in the Palace of the Revolution
00:01:43the delegates of the fourth Assembly of Alba Movements that
00:01:47gathered in Havana 190 representatives from
00:01:5027 nations. The head of state expressed his gratitude
00:01:54to the representatives who have chosen to be with Cuba in these
00:01:57difficult times, where the U.S.
00:02:00imperialists criminalize
00:02:03sovereign peoples of the world. Díaz-
00:02:06occupation of Western Sahara. Canel called for strengthening unity on the basis of common objectives and
00:02:10affirmed that even in the worst circumstances, Cuba will continue
00:02:14fighting, will continue resisting and will continue winning. The
00:02:17meeting reaffirmed the commitment to the legacy of Fidel Castro and
00:02:21anti-imperialist
00:02:25disregarding United Nations resistance.
00:02:32And with the aim of strengthening resistance against imperialist
00:02:35aggressions in the global south, delegates from all over Latin America and the
00:02:39Caribbean are meeting in Cuba. Belén de Los Santos tells us the
00:02:43details of this meeting of social
00:02:45movements.
00:02:49What unites the struggles of Cuba, Brazil, Venezuela or Haiti?
00:02:52How do you build a common path from different
00:02:56territories? This is the task that delegates from 27
00:03:03nations face. We start the day by reviewing the historical experiences of our
00:03:07socialism, which is not just history, but is
00:03:10the present and our future and our references.
00:03:14One of the keys is to converse, to listen to learn from the experience
00:03:18of others. From Cuba, the importance of always building close to
00:03:22the people is highlighted, a characteristic of Fidel. Among us there is
00:03:25a fundamental principle. Fidel, which is communion with the
00:03:28people, that it's not that you like the people, that it's not that
00:03:31you understand the problem of the people, but that you are able
00:03:35to build with the people a
00:03:39advancing with a 73% project of liberation, in which the people themselves build you up, build
00:03:43themselves as a leading subject and change the reality
00:03:47they had to live. From the Caribbean also come
00:03:50the lessons of the Haitian revolution, still powerful to
00:03:54understand the present of the region. And a
00:03:57fundamental element of this construction is the emergence of a
00:04:00counter-hegemonic culture, not based on a new
00:04:04language, Creole, in a new spirituality
00:04:08and in new forms of work organization. This is how
00:04:12internationalism is built, highlighting historical and present
00:04:15practices that open an alternative focused on the
00:04:18well-being of the people. Socialism is not something, it is not a
00:04:22one of the critical hotspots discourse, it is not a utopia, it is a
00:04:26necessity, but it is also a daily practice
00:04:29and that from the little we are doing
00:04:33in a settlement or in a camp, from the way of organizing,
00:04:37from the way of producing, a different perspective to capitalism,
00:04:40can also be a seed of
00:04:43of official policies to socialism. In a context of imperialist
00:04:46advance against the region, the goal is to exchange experiences to strengthen
00:04:50of workers unprotected in the joint strategies. That is what the fourth continental
00:04:53assembly of Alba Movements in Havana is about.
00:04:56It is fundamental to create channels of exchange
00:05:00between revolutionary processes, no, what
00:05:03I call the pedagogy of revolutions, to be able to
00:05:06nourish ourselves with all this
00:05:09richness and to be able to advance. In the face of the
00:05:13challenges, the challenges of today and today more than
00:05:16ever in our continent, we need these processes
00:05:20to be in a necessary unity to build a
00:05:23necessary integration to
00:05:26stop an offensive that we are experiencing on the continent
00:05:29that is perhaps one of the worst of all
00:05:33times in our history. Belén
00:05:35de los Santos for Telesur from Havana
00:05:57before financing destined to address the
00:06:00damages caused by the earthquakes of last June
00:06:0424. The meeting also evaluated the progress for
00:06:08urban reconstruction and social protection projects with the aim
00:06:12of optimizing the execution of state resources in the most affected
00:06:16areas. It is worth noting that the meeting reflects the priority of the
00:06:20national government in guaranteeing timely attention to the affected
00:06:24communities and sustaining public investment
00:06:27as an engine of economic recovery and social well-being,
00:06:31in a context of external sanctions that seek to suffocate
00:06:34the Venezuelan state's capacity
00:06:36to respond.
00:06:39The president of the Bank of Venezuela, Calisto Ortega.
00:06:48caused by the earthquakes that shook the country, the research firm
00:06:51Interlaces reported that of the 900
00:06:55Venezuelans interviewed nationwide throughout the month of
00:06:58July, 61% have a favorable opinion
00:07:01of the management of the interim president of Venezuela
00:07:04after the double seismic event of June
00:07:0824. The study also determined that
00:07:1169% of those surveyed have a
00:07:14favorable opinion of the execution of the Venezuela
00:07:17Renace Plan, an initiative promoted by the National Government
00:07:20presided over by interim president Delci Rodríguez,
00:07:24while 21% opined
00:07:27that it is not favorable and the other 10% preferred
00:07:30not to answer. In addition, the data reflect that
00:07:3463% of those surveyed believe that the
00:07:37economic situation of the country will
00:07:39improve.
00:07:52In La Guaira state, comprehensive care days continue
00:07:56to be deployed in various sectors to consolidate social well-being
00:08:00and community dynamics. Our correspondent Luis Tavera tells
00:08:04us more.
00:08:07This is Calle Real in the central area of Caravalleda, located in the
00:08:10northwest of the entity.
00:08:14of the central area of Caravalleda, located in the northwest of the
00:08:17entity.
00:08:21Here, the inhabitants slowly return to their daily life, to local
00:08:24commerce and the daily dynamics of the
00:08:26community.
00:08:32In addition to the food sale day at affordable prices, neighbors also
00:08:36take advantage of the space to celebrate Mother's
00:08:39Breastfeeding Day.
00:08:44Mothers from the community actively participate in the dynamics
00:08:47and receive specialized attention. We are also
00:08:51increase in breastfeeding in our
00:08:54state, especially in these moments of crisis that we had due to
00:08:58the double earthquake we suffered here in La Guaira. Mothers
00:09:01also had the opportunity to breastfeed their children
00:09:05without any problem, why? Because we had no
00:09:08place to cook or do anything, and at that moment it was a
00:09:12way to calm their mothers with their babies, that
00:09:16affectionate bond that is always created with breastfeeding.
00:09:19More than 40 days after the registered earthquakes,
00:09:23the inhabitants are grateful that the tension in La Guaira does not stop,
00:09:27maintaining the pulse and constant support in each sector. This is actually a
00:09:31help because we are buying much cheaper here. My son who
00:09:34has a disability has also been attended to, and well, they have done many
00:09:38good things for us, both the people here and international people. It is
00:09:41the deep roots they have for their land. Citizens reaffirm
00:09:45their decision to remain there, betting firmly
00:09:48on the future and the development of their locality, because we have
00:09:52to continue fighting for our territory, for our state. We love
00:09:56this state very much, we like La Guaira. La Guaira is a
00:10:00place, well, I can't tell you, I
00:10:03love it. A deployment that is part of the Venezuela Renace Plan,
00:10:0728 days recently carried out in the entity, with more than
00:10:1010,000 families benefiting through
00:10:25health and protection services. Venezuela: Super
00:10:27Niño phenomenon expected for 2026 and
00:10:31part of 2027. Through his social networks, the
00:10:35Minister of Science and Technology of Venezuela, Iván Gill, stated:
00:10:39Venezuela is preparing for the possible effects of the climatic
00:10:41phenomenon known as Super Niño, which is expected
00:10:45to impact in 2026 and part of 2027, causing
00:10:49droughts and water stress in some areas of the
00:10:52national territory, as well as intense rains in others
00:10:56with a focus on science and prevention. Our
00:10:59specialists from the Venezuelan Institute of Scientific Research
00:11:03and Vic, as it is known, are identifying actions
00:11:06to mitigate its effects. In this framework, we join
00:11:10the call of the Interim President Delci Rodríguez, for the
00:11:14energy saving plan, promoting the efficient use of resources
00:11:17to guarantee the well-being of the Venezuelan people.
00:11:20This was published by the Minister of Science and Technology, Iván Gill,
00:11:24of Venezuela through his Telegram channel. Here we
00:11:28share it. Let's see: The planetary system is experiencing in
00:11:312026 and we know that in part of 2027
00:11:34a phenomenon will occur, a Super Niño. A
00:11:38Super Niño is an event with global
00:11:41impacts. The global planetary climate will be
00:11:44affected by this. Obviously, Venezuela, its location
00:11:47facing the Caribbean, also close to the Andes
00:11:51mountain range, its national territory will be subject to different
00:11:55pressures due to the occurrence of this phenomenon, which
00:11:58will cause some areas of Venezuela to be subject to a drought, perhaps
00:12:02some agricultural areas will have these
00:12:05considerations for this potentially dry
00:12:09climate during the occurrence of this Super Niño, but
00:12:12other areas of the national territory may even experience
00:12:16the opposite, and this variability will be characteristic
00:12:19of 2026, it will be characteristic of 2027 with
00:12:22the occurrence of these major events. We go to
00:12:25Colombia, the new government recognizes Morocco's illegal
00:12:31Hours after the inauguration of far-right president
00:12:34Abelardo de la Espriella, Vice President José Manuel Restrepo
00:12:38declared that the country seeks to strengthen political
00:12:42and economic ties with Morocco, which is tantamount
00:12:45to backing Rabat's usurpation of Western Sahara,
00:12:50resolutions that historically support
00:12:53the search for a self-determination referendum
00:12:56for the Sahrawi region. The announcement
00:13:00marks a shift in Colombian foreign policy, which during
00:13:04the Gustavo Petro government had re-established diplomatic
00:13:07relations with the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic
00:13:11in 2022. Likewise, the Polisario
00:13:14Front denounced that the decision violates international law
00:13:17and the right to self-determination of the Sahrawi
00:13:20people.
00:13:29In Brazil, a helicopter crashed in the southern area of Rio
00:13:33de Janeiro, leaving at least four fatalities. The
00:13:37aircraft fell in the forest of the Vista Chinesa neighborhood,
00:13:41in Alto Daboavista. As it is a wooded area and
00:13:44difficult to access, search and rescue efforts have
00:13:48been hampered. Emergency services are working at
00:13:51the scene, and due to the fire that started this
00:13:55accident, the victims have not yet been identified. The
00:13:59civil police and the Brazilian air force have launched
00:14:02an investigation to determine the circumstances of the accident.
00:14:18In Chile, Congress rejected the proposal by far-right
00:14:21parties to suspend for 5 years the
00:14:24law, a key regulation against workplace harassment,
00:14:28sexual harassment and violence at work. The parties
00:14:31promoting the freeze argued a supposed
00:14:34saturation in the administrative system. Faced
00:14:37with this, legislators from various political tendencies
00:14:41dismissed said argument to prioritize the
00:14:44labor rights of citizens. Various
00:14:47parliamentarians argued that the more than 66
00:14:50complaints registered since the promulgation of the norm in
00:14:532024, made visible a problem historically
00:14:57hidden in the labor sphere of Chile. Likewise, the
00:15:01Senate Steering Committee proposed to improve the current
00:15:05regulations of the law. Likewise, the Senate Steering Committee
00:15:08proposed to improve the current regulations of the law
00:15:12instead of leaving the integrity
00:15:15region,
00:15:19which represents 13.5% of the global
00:15:22economy.
00:15:25The Pan American Health Organization issued an
00:15:29epidemiological alert for the countries of America with the
00:15:32objective of reinforcing vaccination due to the measles
00:15:35outbreak and the increase in cases.
00:15:38The department warned that the American continent records
00:15:41the highest number of measles cases in more than two
00:15:45decades, after more than 47 cases were confirmed
00:15:50region, with at least 44 deaths in
00:15:54three countries. According to reports, this year's
00:15:57figure represents triple the cases registered in
00:16:002025, where 95% of the
00:16:04cases were confirmed in Guatemala, Mexico, United
00:16:08States, and Peru. The risk to public health
00:16:11associated with measles in America is classified
00:16:14as high due to the fact that some populations do not have access
00:16:18to health
00:16:20services.

00:17:45Telesur, the voice of the
00:18:57We are back, thank you for staying with us. We continue
00:19:01in Spain where the Ministry of Interior announced
00:19:04temporary border controls for passengers from
00:19:08Italy due to the migration alert in Ceuta.
00:19:11The measure came into force this Saturday and will remain in effect until September
00:19:157. The decision of the Spanish government comes after the migration
00:19:19crisis that Ceuta faced after the entry of
00:19:2272 Moroccan migrants. The measure also
00:19:25corresponds to Rome's decision to unilaterally restrict the
00:19:29Schengen area, described by Madrid as an
00:19:32unfair decision, contrary to the interests of the
00:19:35European Union and discriminatory for the Spanish
00:19:39population. named Ball
00:19:42Range, according to local media reports. Authorities
00:19:45warn that the flames will continue to spread in the
00:19:48coming hours, with no control in sight for now.
00:19:52Summerland, which houses more than
00:19:5612,000 people, is just
00:19:59in the province of British Columbia, which already has
00:20:03104 active fires. Likewise, the phenomenon
00:20:06strikes in the midst of an extreme summer that has
00:20:09affected several regions of North America, once again
00:20:12highlighting the vulnerability of communities to extreme
00:20:15weather events, as well as the limitations
00:20:20prevent and mitigate these disasters. In the United States,
00:20:43demonstrations were held in Manhattan against
00:20:46ICE over the death of an immigrant. Our correspondent Henry Camelo
00:20:53shares the details with us.
00:20:56Friends, greetings to you and the Telesur audience. I greet
00:21:00you from Midtown Manhattan, specifically from the Times
00:21:03Square area, where a demonstration is taking place
00:21:06against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
00:21:10department, due to the death of the 40-year-old Salvadoran
00:21:14immigrant. Three immigrants have died in recent months
00:21:18in these detention centers. Regarding detentions,
00:21:22July was one of the months that broke records in detentions
00:21:26nationwide, with nearly 46,000 undocumented
00:21:29immigrants detained. This averages
00:21:31around 1,500 people
00:21:35daily detained in the main states
00:21:39such as Florida, Texas, New York, and Michigan.
00:21:42And of course, pro-immigrant
00:21:46groups are raising their voices against this.
00:21:58in recent months and of course these demonstrators are asking the
00:22:02city mayor
00:22:04not to allow police authorities to collaborate with
00:22:08immigration authorities since these detentions have
00:22:11broken up dozens of families and are severely
00:22:15impacting the country's economy. We will of course
00:22:18continue here.
00:22:30Thanks to our colleague Henry Camelo, we continue. About 10,000
00:22:33people mobilized in eastern Germany to demand
00:22:37early elections and the resignation of the government led
00:22:40by Fredrik Merts. According to local media reports,
00:22:44the protesters also demand a reduction in electricity
00:22:47and gas prices, as well as a reform of the public
00:22:51radio and television system. The protest reflects growing
00:22:55social discontent in the eastern region of the country, where
00:22:58economic difficulties and migratory policies have fueled popular
00:23:02unrest. In addition, this scenario
00:23:05places the new German executive under
00:23:08pressure in a European context marked by the rise
00:23:12of forces critical of the establishment and the
00:23:15wear and tear of traditional
00:23:17parties.
00:23:30In Bulgaria, a Ukrainian drone from
00:23:33Romania exploded near a compressor station of the
00:23:37Trans-Balkan gas pipeline, a key infrastructure for the
00:23:40sunflower subfield, 1 km from the station and
00:23:43near the old border post of Cardam. The
00:23:47authorities cordoned off the area and no casualties
00:23:50or material damage were reported according to local
00:23:54media. Subsequently, the Bulgarian Ministry of
00:23:57Defense stated, after a preliminary
00:24:00analysis of the wreckage, that the artifact was
00:24:03likely a Maya decoy drone, a model widely
00:24:06used by the armed forces of
00:24:09Ukraine.
00:24:18The Bulgarian government summoned the Ukrainian ambassador, Olesia
00:24:21Ilaschuck, to explain the drone crash on its
00:24:25territory. The meeting, scheduled for next
00:24:28Monday, was arranged by the Foreign Ministry after the incident
00:24:32on Saturday. The summons formalizes Sofia's
00:24:35diplomatic discomfort. In addition, the delay
00:24:38in the meeting is due to the Ukrainian representative
00:24:41Sen, who is outside the country, which does not
00:24:45prevent Bulgaria from expressing its concern
00:24:48about the violation of its airspace and the risk
00:24:52this implies for stability in the region.
00:25:05The Turkish Parliament began debating a bill that,
00:25:09according to the government, will establish the legal framework
00:25:12for the process called "Turkey without terrorism."
00:25:16Part of the opposition maintains its criticism of the project. Details.
00:25:25The proposal was presented by the ruling Justice and Development
00:25:28Party. According to the text, the law will only come into force
00:25:32after the security institutions determine that the
00:25:35PKK and all its affiliated structures have
00:25:38completely ceased their armed activities and after the
00:25:42approval of the National Security
00:25:43Council.
00:25:46Those who have participated in the death of citizens,
00:25:50have received life imprisonment or aggravated life imprisonment for crimes
00:25:54committed before 2005, will not be able to benefit. For
00:25:57the rest of the cases, it is not an amnesty. The objective
00:26:00is to prevent them from re-integrating
00:26:10into structures. The project contemplates the postponement of investigations,
00:26:13judicial processes, and sentences related to crimes such as
00:26:17belonging to the organization, collaboration, propaganda, or
00:26:20financing. If during the postponement period a person
00:26:23commits a crime related to terrorism again,
00:26:27the suspended penalties will be applied again. A commission
00:26:30that includes the vice president, the chancellor, the minister of
00:26:34defense, the head of national
00:26:36intelligence, among others, will monitor its application. It is not
00:26:40a project of a political party, it is a state
00:26:43policy. The reports of the security bureaucracy, the
00:26:47evaluation of individual files, and the parliamentary
00:26:50commission will work together, so it should be understood
00:26:53as a state process that advances cautiously. According
00:26:57to specialists, the initiative does not respond solely
00:27:01it is also part of
00:27:12its search to position itself against the risks faced by the region. The war in Gaza, the crisis with Iran, and the evolution of the situation in Iraq
00:27:16and Syria have redefined Ankara's security approach. The
00:27:20elimination of armed organizations, along with the security of energy
00:27:23and trade corridors, is considered a
