00:00:11Good evening, welcome to another edition of Telesur
00:00:15Noticias, a review of what is happening in Latin America and the world.
00:00:18Let's now take a look at the headlines.
00:00:21The Brazilian intelligence agency ABI revealed that the United States
00:00:25would seek to intervene in the presidential elections on October
00:00:294th.
00:00:34In Ecuador, a forest fire on the Imbabura volcano
00:00:37destroyed 270 hectares in its
00:00:40path.
00:00:46The ruling party United Russia leads with more than
00:00:4957% of the votes in the parliamentary
00:00:52elections of the Eurasian
00:00:53giant.
00:01:04I'm Andrea Romero, I will be accompanying you and let's go with the news, as we anticipated
00:01:08in the headlines. In Brazil, the Brazilian intelligence
00:01:12victory at the head of the Parliament of the agency, Abin, revealed that the United States would seek to intervene in
00:01:15the presidential elections on October 4th to reorient the
00:01:19political and economic vision of Latin America. The document, which
00:01:23warns of an increased level of risk, was sent confidentially
00:01:26to the Presidency of the Republic, to the Superior
00:01:30Electoral Court and the Ministry of Justice and constitutes one of the
00:01:34most serious alerts about foreign interference in the
00:01:37region in recent years.
00:01:40meritoriously in the In addition, the report indicates that Washington's pressure seeks to
00:01:43raise the level of risk in the region and could cause a
00:01:47breakdown in Brazil's relations
00:01:49responded to the emergency with with China, in addition to trade tensions over the
00:01:52tariffs imposed on Brazilian products. This
00:01:56investigation comes after the United States classified
00:02:00Brazilian criminal organizations as terrorists and
00:02:03announced in July sanctions against citizens and
00:02:07companies in Brazil and Portugal.
00:02:09consider a license to
00:02:19Brazilian President Luis Inácio Lula da Silva reiterates national
00:02:23sovereignty and defends dialogue and peace between
00:02:26nations. Through a publication on his social networks,
00:02:30the Brazilian president stated the following: On my way to New
00:02:34York, there once again I will have the honor and the
00:02:37responsibility to represent Brazil and the Brazilian people in
00:02:41the United Nations General Assembly. We are a
00:02:44sovereign country with a strong economy that cares for its
00:02:48population and its wealth, that respects everyone and demands
00:02:52respect, and that defends peace and dialogue between
00:02:55nations. This is the Brazil that will be present on Tuesday at the
00:02:59opening of the UN. I wish Vice President Geraldo
00:03:02Alkmin, who will assume the
00:03:04The fire, reported in the early presidency until our return, good luck.
00:03:18Venezuela registered a 53% decrease in the
00:03:22country risk indicator during 2026 amidst
00:03:25oil expectations. This behavior is
00:03:29directly linked to the
00:03:31in at least three municipalities easing of licenses in the hydrocarbon sector, new
00:03:34oil agreements, and a reincorporation of sovereign
00:03:38760 since the beginning of and PDVSA bonds in the international liquidity indexes. This
00:03:42evolution continues the downward trend
00:03:46observed during 2025, a period
00:03:48in which the indicator fell from levels above
00:03:5224,900 basis points to close
00:03:56near 12,739 points. The value of the titles
00:04:00reflects the speculative increase in the international
00:04:03market and the expectations of
00:04:05long-term asset
00:04:07recovery.
00:04:15The government of Venezuela welcomed the strengthening of relations
00:04:19achieved with Paraguay in order to create spaces in commercial
00:04:22and productive matters for the benefit of both peoples.
00:04:27network that fights against The statement expresses the following: Venezuela and Paraguay
00:04:30ratify the principles of frank, open and respectful
00:04:33dialogue, with strict adherence to national sovereignty, the
00:04:37sovereign equality of states, the self-determination of
00:04:40peoples, reciprocity and full compliance with international
00:04:44law in favor of peace, stability and shared
00:04:47well-being. They recognize the importance of
00:04:51promoting meeting spaces between productive and commercial
00:04:54sectors to boost opportunities of mutual
00:04:57interest. Both governments reaffirm: the commitment to combine
00:05:01capabilities to foster comprehensive
00:05:04will be, as well as the highest economic development, promote complementary trade and
00:05:06revitalize technical, productive and social
00:05:09cooperation mechanisms, consolidating spaces for
00:05:12constructive dialogue that will directly benefit both
00:05:16peoples.
00:05:25Guatemalan transporters warn that the fuel subsidy
00:05:29would cover less than 100 days of diesel provided in
00:05:33decree 21/2026.
00:05:35The transport sector demands that the government complete the application of the
00:05:39decree and establish transparent controls to avoid
00:05:43abuse and speculation in prices. Transporters
00:05:46propose creating a permanent fund to stabilize the
00:05:49crisis, as the pressure could directly affect families,
00:05:53food and other items with the highest incidence in
00:05:56monthly prices. The main freight transport
00:06:00unions in Guatemala assured that the sector
00:06:03is experiencing a crisis due to the sustained increase in
00:06:06fuel since December
00:06:082025.
00:06:19The co-government of Nicaragua congratulated the United Russia party for its
00:06:25Russian Federation, which it recognized for continuing to lead the
00:06:29State Duma in the service of its people and its country.
00:06:32Through a statement, Managua declared: With great joy
00:06:36we have learned the news of your victory at the head of the United
00:06:40Russia Party to continue leading the prestigious
00:06:43Parliament of the Russian Federation, in the service of its
00:06:46people, its country and the triumphs that are being
00:06:49achieved, previously and
00:06:52just battles undertaken. It also states, when
00:06:56greeting you with affection, respect and recognition from our
00:07:00people and government, we reiterate to you, at the head of the State
00:07:04Duma, all the support we have always maintained and continue to
00:07:07maintain for the essential causes of justice,
00:07:10truth, peace, freedom and solidarity in the struggles for
00:07:14the multipolar world that we are achieving. Through you
00:07:17also, we congratulate our brother President Vladimir Putin for
00:07:21the paths of victories.
00:07:34Social, trade union and academic
00:07:37movements and organizations from Mexico, Canada
00:07:40and the United States held a binational peace
00:07:44conference in Ciudad Juarez that lasted 3 days with the aim
00:07:47of articulating a joint organizational plan for 2027.
00:07:51Among the central themes of the meeting were migration
00:07:54and strategies to confront far-right policies directed
00:07:58against social and political rights in the region.
00:08:01The event also serves as a space for exchange between
00:08:05organizations from the three countries that seek to
00:08:08coordinate common actions and strengthen their collaboration
00:08:13networks in the face of shared challenges. During the
00:08:15sessions, participants agreed on the need to
00:08:19build bridges of solidarity between peoples and to
00:08:22defend the rights achieved against the attacks of
00:08:26conservative
00:08:27forces.
00:08:34Capitalism with its patriarchal and racist
00:08:37nature is undergoing a profound transformation
00:08:40that shapes state policies, because it is
00:08:44ceasing to be a provider of public goods to
00:08:48focus on system security and militarization.
00:08:51The population is no longer considered a citizen
00:08:55with civil and economic rights, but
00:08:58mainly an object of social control.
00:09:01We are witnessing the dismantling of the international
00:09:05institutions built after the end of
00:09:08World War II. We will take a break and will be back with more of
00:09:12Telesur Noticias.
00:09:35As every year, the United Nations headquarters receives
00:09:39world leaders during its high-level week, amidst the international
00:09:42debate on the transformation of multilateral organizations
00:09:46so that they act in favor of the majorities who cry out for
00:09:50equity in decision-making and have a real impact on respect
00:09:54for the self-determination of peoples and international law.
00:09:57Telesur provides special coverage of this important
00:10:01event with our special envoy Jorge Gestoso

00:10:56Honduras will implement a cloud seeding program to try
00:10:59to increase rainfall and mitigate the drought caused
00:11:03by the El Niño phenomenon. The
00:11:06strategy will be developed through an alliance between the public
00:11:10sector, private companies and the specialized Mexican
00:11:13company Startup Renaissance, responsible for directing
00:11:16air operations. Each air mission will use around
00:11:19100 liters of silver iodide, a chemical substance
00:11:23dispersed in cloud formations to act as
00:11:26condensation nuclei, accelerating droplet formation
00:11:29and stimulating precipitation. Honduran
00:11:33authorities stated that the program does not guarantee
00:11:36rain in areas affected by the water
00:11:40crisis.
00:11:41Ecuador recorded a
00:11:51massive forest fire on the Imbabura volcano that has
00:11:55devastated 270 hectares in its
00:11:58path. Local media reported that the fire not only
00:12:02affected the city of Otavalo, but also
00:12:05surrounding areas such as Pucará Alto and San Pablo del
00:12:08Lago. At least seven units of the local fire
00:12:11department immediately
00:12:14the support of drones to monitor the affected areas. Authorities
00:12:18reported that the flames were 90%
00:12:22controlled, while the teams assess the damage caused.
00:12:37part of at least seven forest fires that remain
00:12:40active in four provinces of Ecuador. The National
00:12:44Secretariat for Risk Management stated that it keeps emergencies
00:12:47under constant supervision to
00:12:50coordinate timely responses with firefighters, local
00:12:53governments, and other functions in the territory.
00:12:57Authorities urge the public to refrain from burning
00:13:01vegetation and waste, as well as to immediately
00:13:04alert emergency contacts in the presence of fire
00:13:08or smoke
00:13:09columns.
00:13:18In Colombia, a forest fire in Cerro San Marcos de Villa de
00:13:22Leiva forced the mobilization of reinforcements from Bogotá
00:13:26and other cities in the country.
00:13:29afternoon, spread rapidly due to wind
00:13:33gusts, approaching the urban area of the tourist
00:13:36municipality. Local and national authorities deployed
00:13:40an immediate containment operation, adding rescue
00:13:44brigades, firefighters from neighboring municipalities, and sending
00:13:47specialized reinforcements from the capital. During the last
00:13:51month, authorities recorded more than five fires
00:13:56in the
00:13:56region.
00:14:04Several departments in Colombia suffer the effects of the
00:14:07super El Niño phenomenon, with droughts resulting from the
00:14:11scarcity of rainfall. Departments such as Boyacá,
00:14:14Atlántico and Cesar report crop losses, water
00:14:18shortages and impacts on their rivers. In the case of Puerto
00:14:21Boyacá, the Magdalena River lost up to
00:14:2580% of its channel, negatively impacting
00:14:28fishermen and river transport. Specialized
00:14:31teams fight against forest fires caused by the
00:14:35climatic phenomenon, which could extend until the third
00:14:39month of 2027.

00:16:30The scrutiny in the parliamentary elections positions the
00:16:33United Russia party as the most voted with a wide
00:16:37advantage over the rest of the political forces. The
00:16:40president of the Central Electoral Commission, Ella Panfilova,
00:16:43announced that the voting ended throughout the country and
00:16:46indicated that more than half of the voting population participated
00:16:50in the elections, in which the 450 seats of the Parliament
00:16:54were renewed for the next 5 years. Likewise, the
00:16:57Central Electoral Commission reported that with more than 57%
00:17:01of the votes counted, the ruling party, United
00:17:05Russia, maintains a wide advantage over the Communist
00:17:08Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, the New People
00:17:12Party and the A Just Russia Party. In turn, the
00:17:15electoral authorities reported more than three thousand
00:17:18cyber attacks against the Russian electoral system during
00:17:22the elections. For his part, President Vladimir Putin
00:17:26asserted that these elections were the most important
00:17:29event in the country's domestic
00:17:31politics.
00:17:40Now our correspondent Odet Díaz will tell us more about how
00:17:44this election day was experienced in Russia.
00:17:46Go ahead. Russia reached its third and final
00:17:50legislative election day this September 20, where the
00:17:53450 deputies of the State Duma, the lower house of
00:17:57Parliament, were elected for its ninth legislature. The
00:18:003-day process that began on Friday the 18th was
00:18:03plagued by attacks, both cyber and with Ukrainian drones,
00:18:07in an attempt to destabilize the vote and undermine Russian
00:18:11democracy. As
00:18:13we know, the Ukrainian
00:18:16leaders are in no hurry to hold elections, but
00:18:20they are also trying to prevent us from doing so. The leaders
00:18:23of Kiev speak of peace and propose re-engaging in alleged
00:18:26negotiations, however, by committing crimes of this
00:18:29type, they themselves do everything possible to ensure that there is no
00:18:33peace or negotiations.
00:18:37launched attacks against polling stations, assassinated several
00:18:40presidents of territorial electoral commissions, there is also
00:18:44evidence of attacks against places where polling stations had been
00:18:48installed or were planned to be installed, the concerted
00:18:51efforts to hinder the elections, besiege
00:18:54cities and force our electoral commissions and local
00:18:58authorities to resort to alternative methods
00:19:01to organize the vote are evident, faced
00:19:04with the wave of terrorist actions by Ukraine with the
00:19:08record number of 1100 drones launched on Sunday
00:19:12morning into Russian territory, including the Moscow
00:19:15region and the capital, the president of the Central
00:19:19Electoral Commission enumerated some of the damages suffered.
00:19:23Voting in elections in hostile
00:19:25countries is very difficult. During the massive drone attack
00:19:29on September 20 against the Moscow region, an electoral
00:19:33committee member was injured, however, she reported to her
00:19:36workplace. From the attack, also with unmanned aerial vehicles
00:19:40against a bus in the Kherson region, two people died,
00:19:43including an electoral committee member. Also in Komi, in one
00:19:47of the polling stations after the end of voting, an intentional
00:19:50fire occurred, the author of the fire has already been arrested.
00:19:54Hostile actions against the electoral process have not gone
00:19:58unpunished in the eyes of the international community. More than
00:20:01a thousand foreign observers participated in the
00:20:04elections, including from Western countries, who assure that
00:20:07Russia is a leader in electronic voting.
00:20:11Obviously, we are looking for a transparent and fair process,
00:20:14and I think so far we haven't seen anything negative. What
00:20:18we've seen so far is very impressive, especially in terms
00:20:22of technology. Russia is a developed country compared to
00:20:25others in technological terms. So we have a lot to learn.
00:20:29For this September 21, the Central Electoral Commission
00:20:32will publish the results of the legislative elections. Citizens
00:20:36will know who the 450 deputies of the State Duma
00:20:41officials of eight regions of the country and the deputies of the
00:20:44legislative and local self-government bodies.
00:20:48Arian López and Odet Díaz Fumero, Telesur, Moscow,
00:20:51Russia. We continue in Russia. The director
00:20:55of the Russian energy corporation, Rosatom,
00:20:58Alexey Lihachov, reported an increase
00:21:01in Ukrainian attacks against the city of Energodar, near
00:21:05the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in
00:21:08Europe. The director stated that during the week prior to the elections,
00:21:11an even greater volume of attacks was recorded, while Ukrainian
00:21:15forces intensified psychological pressure on the inhabitants
00:21:18of the city. Lihachov
00:21:21pointed out that the objective of these attacks would be
00:21:24to disrupt the parliamentary elections being held in Russia
00:21:28this weekend and confirmed that the events have left at least one
00:21:31fatality. In this context, Russian authorities have denounced
00:21:35this escalation of harassment while maintaining their call
00:21:38for the population to exercise their right to vote, emphasizing
00:21:42that citizen participation will prevail against attempts of
00:21:46destabilization.
00:21:56Germany evaluates a new political scenario after regional
00:21:59elections. Berlin celebrates a victory with the triumph of
00:22:03the left-wing party Die Linke, while in other
00:22:06regions the influence of the far-right is growing. In the
00:22:10Berlin elections, the left-wing party Die Linke became
00:22:14the leading force with 25.4%,
00:22:16being the first time it has won regional elections in the
00:22:20capital, while the far-right party, Alternative
00:22:23for Germany, achieved a victory in the
00:22:26regional elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,
00:22:29with 37% of the votes. For his
00:22:32part, the German Chancellor described the day as a
00:22:36disaster and asserted that confidence in the country's institutions
00:22:39is declining and is being undermined by radical
00:22:42parties. Despite the victory of AFD in
00:22:46Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, it was not enough
00:22:48to obtain an absolute majority in the chamber
00:22:52composed of 71 seats.
00:22:55The result in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
00:23:02cannot be disguised, it is a
00:23:05disaster. Confidence in our country's institutions is
00:23:08declining and is being actively undermined by radical
00:23:11parties, therefore, in Germany and in Europe
00:23:14we need to re-evaluate fundamental issues such as
00:23:18freedom and security in our societies.
00:23:22The autonomous city of Melilla, Spain, raised alarms about
00:23:25the possible illegal entry of migrants from Morocco,
00:23:29causing concern among its inhabitants due to a similar event in Ceuta.
00:23:33The Spanish government deployed more than 60
00:23:36agents from the Civil Guard's Reserve and Security Group
00:23:40due to the dissemination of messages on social media
00:23:43encouraging the massive entry of immigrants into Melilla.
00:23:47However, the same civil protection personnel assured
00:23:51that the number of officials deployed in the city is
00:23:54insufficient to contain a possible massive entry of
00:23:57foreigners, while the Moroccan government keeps its
00:24:01borders open and does not act in the face of the possible
00:24:05emigration of tens of its nationals to Spanish territory.
00:24:18marched this Sunday through the streets
00:24:21of Barcelona against the expansion of the El Prat airport,
00:24:25denouncing that the project would aggravate the climate crisis,
00:24:29tourist overcrowding and the destruction of protected
00:24:32natural spaces. Let's see the details with our correspondent
00:24:36Andrés Flores.
00:24:41The mobilization called by more than 200 social,
00:24:44neighborhood and environmental entities marched this
00:24:48Sunday through the center of
00:24:50Barcelona against the expansion of El Prat airport. The
00:24:54proposal comes days after the Spanish government approved the first
00:24:57investments of the project, which plans to extend the third
00:25:01runway, the closest to the sea, to allow intercontinental
00:25:04flights. Its promoters present it as an economic
00:25:07opportunity, those who oppose it as a threat. We are
00:25:11here representing the international
00:25:14network, which is a global
00:25:17the expansion and the intensification of the
00:25:21aviation industry, and we do so for different reasons. One has
00:25:25to do with the climate emergency we are living in, in which
00:25:28the planet is exceeding planetary
00:25:31limits to sustain life on Earth, and
00:25:35at the same time also due to the direct impacts that the aviation
00:25:39industry and its expansion have on the cities, on the
00:25:43communities where we live. We see how they take away our
00:25:46housing, the right to affordable housing. For those who defend the
00:25:50expansion, like the Catalan employers' association Foment del Treball,
00:25:53they say it is necessary to connect Barcelona with the world
00:25:56and multiply intercontinental destinations, but those who
00:26:00oppose it highlight the environmental cost of the project. A study
00:26:03by the Observatori DESC calculates that the expansion
00:26:07would increase polluting emissions by 8% in
00:26:102030 and up to 22% in 2033.
00:26:13There has been a struggle for some years now against the
00:26:16works that they want to do with the expansion of the Barcelona
00:26:20airport, without taking into account not only to intensify
00:26:24tourism but also to destroy ecological areas
00:26:26and neighborhoods. So today we are here again
00:26:30to say that the city of Barcelona answered: We
