00:00:09Wednesday, only on Telesu.
00:00:33effects, given this, the authorities Happy day, what a pleasure to accompany you here on Telesur Noticias, for the next
00:00:36half hour, I'm Jerani Flores, we start immediately.
00:00:39to the continuity of Venezuela reaches three years
00:00:44of consecutive economic growth
00:00:48and ECLAC estimates that it will close
00:00:512026 at
00:00:526.5%.
00:00:57According to the UN, around 5,000 women and girls in Gaza
00:01:01have been victims of murder or, failing that, have been
00:01:04seriously
00:01:07suspended today Saturday from injured. Climate crisis generates storms
00:01:11and floods in countries of the American
00:01:14and Asian continents.
00:01:23Venezuela reaches 3 years of consecutive
00:01:26economic growth and ECLAC estimates that it will close
00:01:292026 at more than
00:01:326.5%, one of the sectors that is
00:01:35being renewed is the electrical sector, the report with Madelen
00:01:38García,
00:01:41spare parts continue to arrive for the different thermoelectric power plants in
00:01:45Venezuela,
00:01:48motor and lubrication pump for the generator to keep the
00:01:51oil in the generator as such. Engineers do not stop
00:01:54working, they change the old parts for the
00:01:57new ones.
00:02:00affected several sectors of Little by little they are reactivating the equipment to generate
00:02:03megawatts, this is done by Venezuelan private companies together
00:02:06with the workers of the national electricity system. We are
00:02:10checking and verifying each signal and each equipment, carrying out maintenance and
00:02:14adjustments to leave them in operational conditions.
00:02:17We will incorporate megawatts into the system to improve
00:02:21the system conditions, improve
00:02:25the extreme right and the national electricity system, that's what it's about, if we are recovering, of course
00:02:28we are. The goal is to recover the electrical sector
00:02:32in the medium term, which was affected by the illegal sanctions from the United
00:02:36States by not being able to have access to original
00:02:39spare parts, waiting for the spare parts, the
00:02:42spare part has arrived, let's go forward, my dear, when it's 24 hours, we give it
00:02:4624 hours, the rest every day, from 7 to 7 at
00:02:49night, from 7 to 9, from 7 to 10, aha, we have to
00:02:53give it, but for that we are looking for that,
00:02:56that the country and building and the things that...
00:03:00we are lending, we have a better functioning with electricity,
00:03:03there we go little by little, the earthquake affected 800
00:03:07MB and from those 600 were recovered,
00:03:10three months after the seismic doublet that stabilized
00:03:13electricity mainly in three states in the central west
00:03:17of the country, trust in us because we are
00:03:21guarantors of the national electrical system, we are
00:03:24focused, committed and even
00:03:27in love with what the electrical system is and its good
00:03:30functioning, its good service, we are service
00:03:33providers with quality, with
00:03:36vocation and well, with love for Venezuela too so
00:03:39that Venezuela grows and
00:03:42Venezuela grew for the third consecutive year despite the
00:03:46difficulties, dialogue with private companies and consensus
00:03:49allowed the country to be placed in first place
00:03:52in Latin America and has remained so, this speaks
00:03:56volumes of the effort of what we are capable of, I always say
00:04:00that we are capable as Venezuelans and you as
00:04:03entrepreneurs in the most difficult
00:04:07environment of economic blockade, of financial
00:04:10blockade, you gave and have given your best
00:04:14to move forward, the acting president
00:04:16Dels Rodríguez announced that a reform of the
00:04:19electricity system law is coming soon,
00:04:22soon and when I say
00:04:25Sofia Caltor, head of soon I am referring to the next days,
00:04:27the humanitarian action section in weeks, but it will not pass this year. A reform of the
00:04:31national electricity system law, of the electrical service
00:04:34that allows private participation
00:04:36in the processes
00:04:40participate in of generation, transmission, distribution,
00:04:43this is something that we have also been discussing with the private
00:04:46sector. In addition to the electrical sector, Venezuela has a clear
00:04:50growth path in other sectors such as the
00:04:53petrochemical, oil with 61 agreements signed with
00:04:56different countries in the world.
00:05:03In Colombia, a bill seeks to sanction the practice
00:05:07of influencing democracy through the massive
00:05:10use of social networks with fake profiles
00:05:13to influence the
00:05:16the population. Esteban Garabito
00:05:18expands.
00:05:21In Colombia, a bill intends to penalize the practice of creating
00:05:25fake accounts on different digital social networks, which
00:05:29are used to influence public opinion regarding political
00:05:32and electoral issues, which negatively affects the country's democracy.
00:05:36They are false agents created through a systematization.
00:05:40to create a screen of
00:05:44simulations around the participation of people who
00:05:47are generally non-existent, these bots
00:05:50not only fulfill functions of inflating, if you will,
00:05:54theories, information, etc., but also of public
00:05:57harassment and even banning of information, that is to say, they
00:06:00can propel the algorithm so that information
00:06:03is seen through communication networks, they can also
00:06:07bury it, that is to say that they handle
00:06:11the search terms that today
00:06:14generate the intermediation channels in public
00:06:17information. The incorporation of language models and artificial
00:06:21intelligence has made bots much more difficult to detect. Today
00:06:25they are capable of sustaining fluid conversations and creating
00:06:28convincing content in real time, influencing
00:06:32public chats on social networks, but they do this by
00:06:35hundreds or thousands. This is known as bot farms
00:06:39created and operated by people paid with the.
00:06:50to control and penalize the misuse of artificial intelligence in electoral campaigns, it is a reality, it
00:06:53has not only happened in Colombia,
00:06:57in Bolivia, in Chile, it is happening right now in Brazil in Lula's
00:07:01electoral campaign, that is, in an uncontrolled,
00:07:05illegal way,
00:07:07bot farms are being used that
00:07:11pretend to be people and in an exponential,
00:07:15algorithmic way, they press on the
00:07:18community and digital conversation to influence
00:07:22voters, and that needs to be controlled, democracies
00:07:25are in danger, nothing more
00:07:29and nothing less than the possibility of uncontrolled
00:07:32manipulation makes citizens end up making
00:07:35misinformed decisions.
00:07:38Jurists raise the need to develop this bill.
00:07:42so that there is a criminal sanction, capable of turning this practice into
00:07:46a digital crime that affects democracy in Colombia
00:07:50and that even puts the lives of candidates
00:07:53at risk in electoral times. That is why
00:07:56this initiative is welcome. What would I add to this
00:07:59initiative? The need to establish
00:08:02obligations for multinational platforms,
00:08:05that manage social networks,
00:08:09so that they contribute to preventing this type of.
00:08:12abusive use of social networks, Latin America
00:08:16has been suffering in recent decades from this
00:08:20type of political campaigns
00:08:22facilitated by transnational money, corrupt,
00:08:26money laundering, by interests also linked to
00:08:29techno-fascism, and therefore we must
00:08:32prevent, we must protect
00:08:36citizen freedoms, the right to be properly
00:08:39informed in a political campaign to elect the best
00:08:43options and not to elect those
00:08:46people who have more power to manipulate
00:08:50social networks. The need for this law is urgent in times
00:08:54when there are doubts about how politics is being done on social
00:08:57networks, with the danger of being scenarios for leading masses of
00:09:01voters down the path of political deception through dishonest marketing.
00:09:05Esteban Gravito Poveda, Telesur, Bogotá,
00:09:09Colombia. Now we establish contact. with our
00:09:12colleague Isa García, who is in Mexico with Mónica
00:09:16Valiente, one of the seven coordinators of President Lula
00:09:20da Silva's electoral campaign. The meeting is
00:09:23held within the framework of the International Congress of the Workers'
00:09:26Party.
00:09:31At this time we are going to talk to a very
00:09:34important person in Brazil, she is Mónica
00:09:38Valente, she is one of the seven coordinators of the
00:09:41electoral campaign of President Lula
00:09:44da Silva and I want to tell you that she has passed through
00:09:47Mexico for only a few hours to
00:09:52what is the international congress of the Labor Party,
00:09:56a super important event for the left
00:09:59worldwide. And well, Mónica, what a pleasure to be able
00:10:03to talk to you and for you to tell us how the
00:10:06campaign is going, how they are preparing for this
00:10:09second electoral round?
00:11:25in employment and everything else, but they managed, they managed
00:11:28to reverse those 3 and a half years, all that had been thrown
00:11:32back, that's right, but very harshly because look,
00:11:36a deconstruction of the state
00:11:38apparatus requires a lot of effort
00:11:42from the government also under a
00:11:46congress quite hostile to President Lula's
00:11:49government, but we achieved many things and approved very
00:11:53important things in those 3 years of government, President
00:11:57Lula in the 22 campaign said I'm going to
00:12:00put the lives of the poor and
00:12:04the poor in the public budget
00:12:07and I'm going to make the rich, the
00:12:10very rich pay taxes because they didn't
00:12:13pay and we managed to approve a tax reform
00:12:17in the country in the same sense, so it's also
00:12:21historical, historical, a tax reform
00:12:25that has been discussed in the country for 40 years and we managed
00:12:28to approve it, in addition to things like health,
00:12:32education, eh, a scholarship so that children
00:12:35could continue studying, not having to leave school
00:12:38to work and help their families' income, a
00:12:42lot of things, but we know that this is not enough,
00:12:46because the cultural war of
00:12:50media, cultural that uses
00:12:53the media and social networks is a very
00:12:56tough war where they have many more weapons, much more
00:13:00money and much more capacity to influence, that's
00:13:04why we are fighting a very tough battle, but I have
00:13:08confidence in the struggle of the people and we will win these
00:13:12elections, ready to win then, ready to win
00:13:15with Lula president,
00:13:18thank you, thank you to Mónica Valente for these very important
00:13:22statements. A few weeks before the
00:13:25second electoral round in
00:13:28Brazil, I return the microphones to Caracas,
00:13:31Venezuela, this is a report by Isa García and Yunus,
00:13:35correspondent in Turkey,
00:13:38thanks to Isa, to you, to Mónica, to
00:13:41Yunus for this interview, let's take a break and we'll be
00:13:45back.
00:14:32Back here on Telesur Noticias with more information, the
00:14:36United Nations Organization warns that around 50
00:14:40thousand women and girls in Gaza have been victims of
00:14:43murder or have been seriously injured.
00:14:47The UN Women spokesperson,
00:14:52the city of Geneva, presented the report which details that more than
00:14:5638,000 women in Gaza have been executed
00:14:59and another 11,700
00:15:02suffer serious injuries which, in many cases, have caused
00:15:06permanent disability. This happened in the first two
00:15:10years of the beginning of the Zionist genocide in
00:15:13October 2023, although since the beginning of the ceasefire, the
00:15:16figure continues to expand. In addition to this,
00:15:20nearly 1 million women and girls have been
00:15:23displaced from their homes or live in
00:15:27tents amidst the ruins of their
00:15:30homes.
00:15:39the United Nations for the occupied Palestinian
00:15:41territories, Francesca Albanese, warned that the
00:15:45explosive power of Israeli bombardments on the
00:15:49Gaza Strip over the last 3 years
00:15:52is equivalent to six nuclear bombs, calling the current
00:15:55humanitarian crisis a slow death process for the
00:15:59civilian population. Albanese denounced the massive destruction of
00:16:03infrastructure, the collapse of the health system and
00:16:07the... spread of diseases and malnutrition, also
00:16:10noting that around 1.8 million
00:16:13Palestinians are displaced and confined in less
00:16:16than 30% of the territory. Given the lack of
00:16:20effective international support and the
00:16:22insufficient entry of humanitarian aid, the
00:16:26official urged the global community to take
00:16:29urgent measures to stop the extreme suffering and continuous
00:16:33displacement suffered by the inhabitants of the
00:16:36Palestinian Enclave.
00:16:44This Saturday, United States military forces attacked
00:16:47in the Gulf of Oman, the commercial vessel Ocean
00:16:50Molica, flying the Panamanian flag after its
00:16:54departure from an Iranian port. According to the United
00:16:57States Central Command, the attack disabled the
00:17:00propulsion system of the vessel, which
00:17:02allegedly attempted to evade the naval blockade against
00:17:06Iran. In parallel, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
00:17:09reported that a supertanker caught
00:17:13fire in the Strait of Hormuz after colliding
00:17:16with a naval mine while sailing on a
00:17:19route that Tehran described as unauthorized. These
00:17:22incidents occur amid restrictions on maritime transit
00:17:26and conflicting warnings about navigation in one of the
00:17:29world's main energy
00:17:33routes.
00:17:42Washington was the scene of a new day of protests in
00:17:45defense of the Palestinian people in front of the Capitol, the
00:17:49demonstrators demanded changes in United States
00:17:52policy towards Israel, while the worsening of the
00:17:56genocide carried out by the regime against Gaza enters
00:18:00its third year. José Leveña with the
00:18:02report.
00:18:05In different cities around the world, thousands of people took to the streets to express their
00:18:09solidarity with Palestine and denounce the Israeli offensive, as 3 years of the
00:18:13genocide in Gaza are completed, in Washington, dozens of organizations and hundreds of citizens
00:18:16gathered in front of the Capitol to demand an end to the occupation policies and the
00:18:20support for Israel, among those who took to the streets were relatives of victims,
00:18:24Palestinian-American citizens and activists who denounce that violence
00:18:27continues to mark the lives of millions of people. For many, three years
00:18:30later, the pain is not a memory, it continues to arrive in the form of news about new
00:18:34deaths and destroyed families.
00:18:39Just this weekend, they killed my relatives in Gaza while
00:18:42they were sleeping, a grandmother and her daughter, just after
00:18:46her children had visited them. Three years ago
00:18:49they killed my friend, Aunt Ilham, a friend of
00:18:53my mother's, and ran her over with a bulldozer
00:18:57when she was going to try to shower. It has been three
00:19:00years of relentless murder, every
00:19:03day, against Christians and Muslims without distinction.
00:19:07against children and the elderly, we are here to say that
00:19:11this has to
00:19:12end.
00:19:17We have been in genocide for 3 years and many
00:19:20people, especially from governments, not common
00:19:23people like us say there is no
00:19:26genocide, I believe it is 100%
00:19:29genocide, we are in disagreement with the governments
00:19:33and I felt it was very important to come and
00:19:35express what...
00:19:42Activists warn about the extension of violence in the Middle East, and
00:19:45reject the normalization of military operations and occupation, assuring that the
00:19:49mobilization not only seeks to remember the victims, but also to maintain
00:19:53pressure so that Palestine remains at the center of the international debate and denunciations of
00:19:57human rights violations are not forgotten.
00:19:59It is important to be here today because people
00:20:02have suffered genocide and occupation for decades and now
00:20:06they are trying. to do the same with Iran and Lebanon, as
00:20:09Americans, we will not allow that to
00:20:13happen. I am here to support the Palestinian
00:20:16people. Three years after this genocide
00:20:19began. I thought the world would have reacted
00:20:22and that a change would have occurred, but I see that
00:20:26Israel is intensifying its actions even more. I want the
00:20:29Palestinian people to be able to achieve some kind of
00:20:33liberation, I don't know how. Demonstrators
00:20:36denounce that occupation. extends and that control over Gaza continues to be a matter of
00:20:40dispute, they also question international initiatives that do not guarantee the
00:20:44rights of the Palestinian people nor put an end to the aggression.
00:20:48This situation continues. Israel assumes more and more control
00:20:52over Gaza, while Trump's false peace council,
00:20:55which is a genocidal council, has taken
00:20:59over Palestine and is extending its aggression through the West
00:21:02Bank and indeed throughout the region.
00:21:05After the march, activists met to exchange proposals and coordinate
00:21:09common actions, with the aim of maintaining mobilization and exploring avenues of pressure
00:21:13from the United States given the situation in Palestine and the escalation of violence in the
00:21:16region. The
00:21:20demonstrators insist on their demands, an arms embargo on
00:21:24Israel, sanctions and an end to international support which they denounce contributes
00:21:29violence, from Washington, where these demands
00:21:33point directly to the role of the United States as Israel's main
00:21:36ally, it is more important than ever, reported José
00:21:39Leveña for Telesur.
00:21:42Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced this
00:21:45Saturday what he described as an obsessive persecution of the
00:21:49United States government against Cuba's International Medical Cooperation
00:21:53programs. The official questioned the new
00:21:56State Department report on human trafficking, considering that it
00:21:59is used to justify
00:22:03diplomatic pressure and restrict these
00:22:06missions. According to the information published, the US
00:22:09document again points to forced
00:22:12labor in some Cuban professional cooperation
00:22:15programs abroad. In this regard,
00:22:18Havana maintains that these measures seek to weaken its
00:22:21international cooperation, while the debate remains
00:22:25around the working conditions of professionals
00:22:28and the impact that restrictions may
00:22:31have on the populations that receive such important medical
00:22:35attention.
00:22:42The persistent armed violence in Haiti that leaves more than
00:22:455,700 victims among dead and
00:22:48injured so far in 2026 finds its
00:22:52main driver in the illicit arms
00:22:55trafficking, according to a report from the panel of
00:22:58experts of the UN Security Council, a large
00:23:01part of this arsenal feeds powerful criminal gangs
00:23:05such as 400 Mawozo and Grand Ravine. The document
00:23:09indicates that a large part of these war supplies
00:23:12illegally enters through the border with the Dominican
00:23:15Republic, despite the objectives of the control
00:23:19operations and historical seizures, such
00:23:22as the more than 22,000 munitions seized
00:23:25at the end of 2022 in Elías Piña, investigations
00:23:29have not yet managed to publicly identify the
00:23:33main leaders of these transnational networks.
00:23:36On the other hand, the United Nations report also
00:23:39warns about the existence of possible networks
00:23:43of institutional corruption involving agents and
00:23:47connections with military units.
00:24:05Tropical Storm Isaias made landfall in Florida as a Category Two
00:24:09storm and downgraded to a depression, leaving a toll of
00:24:13four dead and at least 9,000 users without
00:24:16power. Let's look at more details.
00:24:22First, in Florida, a woman died when a
00:24:25tree fell on her house, and a man died in his garage from a
00:24:29running generator. In addition to this, the governor of
00:24:32Alabama confirmed two more deaths. In this
00:24:36context, it left approximately 900,000 users without
00:24:40electricity, with Florida being the most affected state with
00:24:44approximately 440,000,
00:24:47followed by Alabama with 310,000, and Georgia with
00:24:51114,000. It also left fallen
00:24:55trees, blocked streets, and damage to urban
00:24:58infrastructure.
00:25:01The state of Florida declared an emergency in 27
00:25:04counties and mobilized 500 members of the National
00:25:07Guard. Likewise, Alabama declared
00:25:10an emergency in 40 counties. Several localities
00:25:14ordered preventive evacuations in vulnerable
00:25:17areas due to the risk of flooding and possible
00:25:20tornadoes in parts of Florida, Alabama, and
00:25:23Georgia.
00:25:27However, although Isaias has weakened, the National Hurricane
00:25:31Center warned of potentially deadly storm
00:25:34surges, flash floods, and up
00:25:38to 38 cm of rain in areas of northeastern
00:25:42Florida. It is worth remembering that Isaias was the first
