00:00:50The Brazilian intelligence agency, Abin, revealed that the United
00:00:54States would seek to intervene in the presidential elections on October
00:00:574th.
00:01:04The legislative elections in Russia concluded their final day with
00:01:08positive results, despite attempts from Ukraine to
00:01:12create panic among the population and thereby hinder the electoral
00:01:16process. Let's see:
00:01:19Russia reached its third and final
00:01:23legislative election day on September 20th, where the
00:01:26450 deputies of the State Duma, the lower house of
00:01:30Parliament, were elected for its ninth legislature. The 3-day
00:01:33process, which began on Friday the 18th, was
00:01:36plagued by both cyber attacks and Ukrainian drone
00:01:39attacks, seeking to destabilize the vote and
00:01:43undermine Russian
00:01:44democracy.
00:01:48As we know, Ukrainian leaders are in no hurry to
00:01:51hold elections, but they are also trying to
00:01:54stop us. The leaders of Kiev talk about peace and
00:01:57propose resuming supposed negotiations.
00:02:00However, by committing crimes of this type, they themselves
00:02:04are doing everything possible to prevent peace
00:02:06or negotiations. Ukraine launched attacks against
00:02:10polling stations, assassinated several presidents of
00:02:13territorial election commissions. There is also evidence of
00:02:17to contain a possible mass attacks against places where polling stations had been or were planned to be
00:02:21installed. The concerted efforts to
00:02:25maintains its firm stance of hinder the elections, besiege cities, and
00:02:28force our electoral and local authorities to
00:02:32resort to alternative methods to
00:02:35organize the vote are evident.
00:02:38Facing the wave of Ukrainian terrorist actions, with a record number of
00:02:42100 drones launched in the early hours of this Sunday into
00:02:45Russian territory, including the Moscow region and the
00:02:49capital, the president of the Central Electoral Commission
00:02:52enumerated some of the damages
00:02:54suffered.
00:02:57Voting in elections in hostile countries is very difficult. During the massive drone
00:03:00attack on September 20th against the Moscow region, an electoral
00:03:04committee member was injured, but she reported to her workplace. As a result of
00:03:08the attack, also with unmanned aerial vehicles
00:03:11against a bus in the Kherson region, two people died,
00:03:15including an electoral committee member. Also, in Komi, at one of the
00:03:19polling stations, after the voting concluded, an arson
00:03:22fire occurred. The perpetrator of the fire has already been arrested.
00:03:25Hostile actions against the electoral process have not gone
00:03:29unpunished. Internationally, more than 1,000 foreign
00:03:32observers participated in the elections,
00:03:35the international network Stay including from Western countries, who assure that Russia is a leader in electronic
00:03:38voting.
00:03:41try to put Obviously, we are looking for a transparent and fair process, and I think that so
00:03:44far we haven't seen anything negative. What we have seen so far is very
00:03:47impressive, especially with regard to technology. Russia
00:03:51is a developed country compared to others in technological
00:03:55terms, so we have a lot to
00:03:58learn. On September 21st, the Central
00:04:02cities, on the communities Electoral Commission will announce the results of the legislative elections. Citizens
00:04:06will know who the 450 deputies of the
00:04:10State Duma will be, as well as the top officials of eight regions
00:04:13of the country and the deputies of the legislative and local self-government
00:04:17bodies. Arian López and Odet Díaz

00:04:25Still in Russia, the director of the Russian Energy Corporation
00:04:29Rosatom, Alexey Likhachov, denounced an
00:04:32increase in Ukrainian attacks against the city of
00:04:35Energodar, near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the
00:04:39largest in Europe. The director stated that during the
00:04:42week prior to the elections, an even greater volume of
00:04:46attacks was recorded, while Ukrainian forces intensified psychological
00:04:50pressure on the city's inhabitants.
00:04:53Likhachov noted that the objective of these attacks
00:04:56would be to disrupt the parliamentary elections being held
00:05:00in Russia this weekend, and confirmed that the incidents have left at
00:05:03least one fatality.
00:05:05artificial intelligence in the entity amidst In this context, the Russian authorities have denounced this escalation
00:05:09of harassment while maintaining their call to the population
00:05:13to exercise their right to vote, emphasizing that citizen participation
00:05:16will prevail over destabilization attempts.
00:05:31Germany evaluates a new political scenario after regional
00:05:34elections. Berlin celebrates a milestone with the
00:05:37victory of the Left Party Die Linke,
00:05:40while in other regions, the influence of the far-right
00:05:44grows. In the Berlin elections, the Left Party
00:05:47Die Linke became the leading force with
00:05:5025.4%,
00:05:53being the first time it won the regional elections in the
00:05:56capital, while the far-right party Alternative for Germany,
00:05:59AfD, achieved a victory in the regional elections in
00:06:03Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with
00:06:0637% of the votes. For his part, the German
00:06:09Chancellor described the day as a disaster and
00:06:12asserted that confidence in the country's institutions is
00:06:16declining and is being undermined by radical
00:06:19parties. Despite the AfD's victory in
00:06:22Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, it was not
00:06:25enough to obtain an absolute majority in the Chamber, which
00:06:28is composed of 71
00:06:31seats.
00:06:37The result in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern cannot be disguised;
00:06:41it is a disaster. Confidence in our country's
00:06:44institutions is diminishing and is being actively
00:06:47undermined by radical parties. Therefore, in Germany
00:06:50and Europe, we need to re-evaluate fundamental issues such as freedom
00:06:54and security in our societies.
00:06:57The autonomous city of Melilla,
00:07:00Spain, raised alarms about the possible illegal entry of
00:07:04migrants from Morocco, generating concern among its
00:07:06inhabitants due to a similar event in Ceuta. The Spanish
00:07:09government deployed more than 60 agents from the Civil
00:07:12Guard's reserve and security group in response to messages
00:07:16on social media encouraging the massive entry of immigrants into
00:07:20Melilla. However, civil protection personnel themselves assured
00:07:24that the number of officials deployed in the city is insufficient
00:07:30entry of foreigners. Meanwhile, the Moroccan government keeps
00:07:33its borders open and takes no action in the face of
00:07:37the possible migration of dozens of compatriots to Spanish
00:07:41territory. More than 200 entities
00:07:44marched this Sunday through
00:07:52the streets of Barcelona against the expansion of El Prat
00:07:55airport. They denounce that the project would worsen the climate
00:07:59crisis, mass tourism, and the destruction of protected
00:08:03natural spaces. Let's see the details with our
00:08:06correspondent Andrés Flores.
00:08:09The mobilization called by more than 200 social,
00:08:15neighborhood, and environmental entities marched this
00:08:19Sunday through the center of Barcelona against the expansion
00:08:22of El Prat airport. The proposal comes days
00:08:25after the Spanish government approved the first
00:08:28investments of the project, which plans to extend the third
00:08:32runway, the closest to the sea, to allow intercontinental
00:08:35flights. Its proponents present it as an economic
00:08:38opportunity, those who oppose it as a
00:08:41threat. Uh, we are here representing
00:08:47Grounded, which is a global network that fights against the expansion
00:08:51and growth of the aviation industry, and we do so for
00:08:55various reasons. One has to do with the climate emergency
00:08:58we are living in, where the planet
00:09:01is exceeding its planetary boundaries to
00:09:04sustain life on Earth, and at the same time, also
00:09:07because of the direct impacts that the aviation industry
00:09:11and its expansion have on
00:09:15where we live. Ah, we see how they take away
00:09:19our housing, the right to affordable housing. For those who
00:09:22defend the expansion, like the Catalan employers' association Foment
00:09:25del Treball, they say it is necessary to connect Barcelona
00:09:29with the world and multiply intercontinental destinations,
00:09:32but those who oppose it highlight the environmental cost of the
00:09:36project. A study by the DESC Observatory calculates that
00:09:39the expansion would increase polluting emissions by
00:09:438% in 2030 and up to 22% in
00:09:462033. There have already been years of struggle against
00:09:49the works they want to carry out with the expansion of Barcelona
00:09:53airport, eh, not taking into account not only, eh,
00:09:55to maximize tourism but also to destroy ecological
00:09:59areas and eh
00:10:03neighborhood areas. Well, today we are here again to say
00:10:07that the city of Barcelona answered no, we don't want that
00:10:10expansion.
00:10:13And we want there to be less tourism flow because
00:10:17eh, it causes pollution, considering climate change and
00:10:20the climate crisis. Eh, we have the right to decent housing
00:10:24and without destroying the natural
00:10:27environment, no. Activists also highlight the impact that the airport
00:10:31expansion would have on the biodiversity of the area. And the third
00:10:35runway would be extended over the wetlands of the Llobregat Delta,
00:10:39a protected natural space and a key stop for migratory
00:10:42birds. Among those who marched were also groups for the
00:10:45defense of animals. Eh, the expansion of the airport
00:10:49not only implies a level of pollution for all people,
00:10:52but also involves the animals that live in the
00:10:55Llobregat delta. We have to remember that it is a protected
00:10:59area with a number of birds that are
00:11:02in danger of extinction, and that is why we are here today
00:11:06also because we oppose this expansion of this
00:11:09airport, which we do not need at all. The future of the
00:11:13project is now in the hands of the European Commission, which
00:11:16will have the final say. Meanwhile, the street has already
00:11:19given its opinion: never, never. Andrés Flores.

00:11:25The Italian government demands concrete measures from the European
00:11:29Union to reduce gas and electricity prices due to the
00:11:33impact of the energy crisis on households and businesses.
00:11:37Italian authorities warned that energy costs continue to
00:11:40affect the bloc's competitiveness and the daily
00:11:44lives of the population. They assure that responses must
00:11:48be coordinated at the community level and not depend on
00:11:51individual decisions of each country. The demand comes amidst
00:11:55international fuel prices and questions about the
00:11:58European strategy for supply substitution. The government insists
00:12:01that measures must prioritize the protection of the most
00:12:03vulnerable sectors and guarantee the energy security of the
00:12:07continent. Four workers and three
00:12:10others were injured after
00:12:12Saudi Arabia attacked a telecom
00:12:18tower in Yemeni territory, according to Sana'a.
00:12:21With this new wave, the total number of Saudi bombings amounts
00:12:25to 760 since the beginning of the current escalation
00:12:28between Ansar Allah and the Saudi Arabian army. The spokesman
00:12:31for the Armed Forces stated that Yemen defends its sovereignty
00:12:35against these actions. A day earlier, Ansar Allah attacked
00:12:39strategic points in Riyadh, as well as facilities of the
00:12:42Saudi state oil company Aramco in Yanbu.
00:12:46It should be noted that Sana'a
00:12:50defending its sovereignty and independence against the constant
00:12:53aggressions of Saudi Arabia.
00:12:57The Yemeni armed forces threatened harsher responses
00:13:01to any military escalation
00:13:01that threatens national
00:13:10security. The government declared that its forces will not
00:13:13hesitate to deliver harsher blows against Saudi Arabia
00:13:17to counter any intensification of the
00:13:21conflict. It highlighted that Saudi aggressions with fighter
00:13:24jets demonstrate their aggressive behavior that shows no respect
00:13:27for the lives of innocent people. In response to this,
00:13:30Yemen is advancing its military operations in response to the
00:13:34attacks and land, air, and sea blockade exerted by
00:13:37Riyadh over its territory.
00:13:41The Democratic Republic of Congo launched an Ebola vaccination
00:13:45campaign for healthcare
00:13:46workers. The campaign seeks to
00:13:55protect medical personnel, community health volunteers,
00:13:58and burial teams due to their high exposure to the
00:14:01virus. Since the epidemic was declared in May, the
00:14:05nation has registered more than 7,500 confirmed cases
00:14:08and some 3,639 deaths,
00:14:12which increased the mortality rate to 48.3%.
00:14:16The World Health Organization approved the deployment of 70,000
00:14:19doses under a special regulatory framework, where some
00:14:2250,000 doses are intended for frontline and healthcare
00:14:26workers, while 20,000 doses will be used in a
00:14:30clinical trial to study if the vaccine provides protection
00:14:33against the virus.
00:14:37Currently, we don't know how effective these vaccines
00:14:40can be against Ebola, which is why
00:14:43we are carrying out this
00:14:49vaccination as part of a research protocol.
00:14:53Initially, this research does not involve the entire
00:14:57community, but rather focuses specifically on frontline
00:15:00healthcare personnel, that is, those with a high risk of
00:15:03exposure. The research will be conducted on
00:15:07them. I wanted to get vaccinated because I am in constant
00:15:11contact with patients and I have a high risk of contracting
00:15:14this disease. So the vaccine I received today should protect
00:15:17me. I can still develop
00:15:20the disease, but it's less likely that I will develop a
00:15:24severe form of it.
00:15:27Honduras will implement a program of artificial cloud
00:15:31seeding to try to increase precipitation and mitigate the
00:15:34drought caused by the El Niño
00:15:48phenomenon. The strategy will be developed through an alliance
00:15:52between the public sector, private companies, and the Mexican company
00:15:56specialized in Startup Renaissance, responsible for
00:16:00directing aerial operations. Each aerial mission will
00:16:03use around 100 liters of silver iodide, a chemical
00:16:06substance that is dispersed into cloud formations to act
00:16:10as condensation nuclei, accelerating droplet formation
00:16:13and stimulating precipitation. Honduran
00:16:17authorities stated that the program does not guarantee
00:16:20rainfall in the areas affected by the water
00:16:24crisis. Ecuador registered a massive
00:16:27forest fire on Imbabura volcano that swept through
00:16:30270 hectares. Local media reported that the fire
00:16:33not only affected the city of Otavalo, but also
00:16:42neighboring sectors such as Pucará Alto and San Pablo del
00:16:46Lago. At least seven units from the local fire
00:16:49department responded immediately to the emergency with the support
00:16:53of drones to monitor the affected areas. Authorities
00:16:56reported that the flames were 90% contained, while
00:17:00teams are evaluating the damages caused.
00:17:04This incident is not an isolated event, but rather
00:17:07part of at least seven forest fires that remain
00:17:11active in four provinces of Ecuador. The National
00:17:14Secretariat for Risk Management
00:17:15stated that it maintains
00:17:25constant supervision of emergencies to coordinate timely responses
00:17:29with firefighters, local governments, and other
00:17:32institutions in the territory. Authorities urge the population
00:17:36to refrain from burning vegetation or waste,
00:17:39as well as to immediately alert emergency contacts in the presence
00:17:43of fire or columns of smoke.
00:17:46In Colombia, a forest fire on San Marcos hill in Villa
00:17:49de Leyva forced the mobilization of reinforcements from Bogotá
00:17:52and other cities in the country. The incident, reported
00:17:56in the early afternoon, spread rapidly due to strong
00:18:00winds, approaching the urban
00:18:07area of the tourist municipality. Local and
00:18:10national authorities deployed an immediate containment
00:18:14operation, adding rescue brigades, firefighters from neighboring
00:18:18municipalities, and sending specialized reinforcements
00:18:21from the capital. During the last month, authorities
00:18:24registered more than five fires in at least three
00:18:27municipalities in the region.
00:18:30Several departments of Colombia are suffering the effects of
00:18:34the super El Niño phenomenon with droughts caused by
00:18:37the scarcity of rainfall. Departments such as Boyacá,
00:18:40Atlántico, and Cesar report crop losses,
00:18:44water shortages, and impacts
00:18:46on their rivers. In the case
00:18:54of Puerto Boyacá, the Magdalena River lost up to 80%
00:18:58of its flow, negatively impacting fishermen and river
00:19:02transport. Specialized teams are fighting forest fires
00:19:05caused by the climatic phenomenon, which could extend until
00:19:07the third month of 2027.
00:19:11In Brazil, the Brazilian intelligence agency, Abin,
00:19:15for its acronym, revealed that the United States would seek to
00:19:18intervene in the presidential elections on October 4th
00:19:22to reorient the political and economic vision of Latin
00:19:26America. The document, which warns of an increased level
00:19:30of risk, was confidentially
00:19:31sent to the Presidency of the
00:19:38Republic, the Superior Electoral Court, and the Ministry of
00:19:41Justice, and constitutes one of the most serious warnings
00:19:45about foreign interference in the region in recent
00:19:48years. Furthermore, the report indicates that Washington's pressure
00:19:51seeks to raise the level of risk in the region and
00:19:55could cause a breakdown in Brazil's relations with China,
00:19:59as well as commercial tensions due to tariffs imposed on
00:20:03Brazilian products. This investigation comes after
00:20:06the United States classified Brazilian criminal organizations
00:20:09as terrorists and announced sanctions against citizens
00:20:13and companies from Brazil and Portugal in July.
00:20:16The President of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, reiterates
00:20:19national sovereignty and defends dialogue and peace among
00:20:23nations. Through a publication on his social media, the Brazilian
00:20:27president stated the following: On my way to New York,
00:20:30there, once again, I will have the honor and responsibility
00:20:34of representing Brazil and the Brazilian people at the
00:20:38United Nations General Assembly. We are a sovereign country
00:20:41with a strong economy that
00:20:50cares for its population and its wealth. That respects
00:20:53everyone and demands respect, and that defends peace and
00:20:57dialogue among nations. This is the Brazil that will
00:21:00be present on Tuesday at the opening of the UN. I wish
00:21:04Vice President Geraldo Aklim good work, who will assume
00:21:07the presidency until our return.
00:21:10Venezuela registered a 53% decrease in the country's
00:21:13risk indicator in the course of 2026, amid
00:21:17oil expectations. This behavior is directly linked
00:21:20to the easing of licenses in the hydrocarbon sector, new
00:21:24oil agreements, and a
00:21:28and PDVSA bonds in international liquidity indices. The
00:21:32evolution continues the downward trend observed during
00:21:352025, a period in
00:21:36which the indicator fell from
00:21:43levels above 24,900 basic points to close near
00:21:4712,739 points. The value of the titles
00:21:50reflects the speculative increase in the international
00:21:53market and expectations of asset recovery in the long
00:21:57term. The Venezuelan government welcomed
00:22:00the strengthening of relations achieved with Paraguay in order
00:22:03to create spaces in commercial and productive matters for
00:22:06the benefit of both peoples. The statement reads as follows:
00:22:09Venezuela and Paraguay ratify the principles of frank,
00:22:13open, and respectful dialogue, with strict adherence to national
00:22:17sovereignty, the sovereign equality of states, the
00:22:20self-determination of peoples, reciprocity, and full compliance
00:22:24with international law in favor of peace, stability,
00:22:27and shared well-being. They recognize the importance of
00:22:31promoting meeting spaces between productive and commercial
00:22:33sectors to promote
00:22:40opportunities of mutual interest. Both governments
00:22:44reaffirm their commitment to combine capacities to foster
00:22:47integral economic development,
00:22:50promote complementary trade, and revitalize mechanisms
00:22:54for technical, productive, and social cooperation,
00:22:57consolidating spaces for constructive dialogue that
00:23:00will result in direct benefits for both peoples.
00:23:04The Public Ministry of Panama registered an increase
00:23:07in homicides and feminicides in the first 8 months of
00:23:102026, while robberies decreased. The entity noted
00:23:13that from January to August, more than 400 homicide
00:23:17victims were recorded, an increase of 6% compared
00:23:20to 2025, while feminicides soared to 254 cases,
00:23:23a 78% increase, with the capital and San Miguelito
00:23:27being the most affected areas. In contrast, robberies decreased
00:23:30by 4.7%, from 3,485 cases in 2025 to
00:23:333,321 in 2026. The statistics reflect an
00:23:37unequal behavior of crime in the country, with increases
00:23:41in high-impact crimes against
00:23:49life and reductions in some property
00:23:52crimes. Guatemalan transporters warn
