00:00:23Happy Sunday, welcome to this Telesur
00:00:27news broadcast, it's a pleasure to be with you, I'm Jerani Flores. Immediately, I present

00:00:35Venezuela reaches 3 consecutive years of economic
00:00:38growth and ECLAC
00:00:42harassment and even information estimates that it will close 2026 at
00:00:446.5%.
00:00:48According to the UN, around 50 thousand women and girls in Gaza have been
00:00:52victims of murder or in their absence, have been seriously
00:00:56injured.
00:01:00Climate crisis generates
00:01:03affected several sectors of storms and floods in countries of the American and
00:01:07mobilization that traveled the streets of Asian continents.
00:01:15Venezuela reaches 3 consecutive years of economic
00:01:18growth and SEPAL
00:01:22reports or estimates
00:01:24data that it will close 2026 at more than
00:01:286.5%. One of the sectors that will grow
00:01:32the most or that is renewing itself is
00:01:35the electrical sector. The report by Madelen García:
00:01:38spare parts continue to arrive for the different thermoelectric plants in
00:01:42Venezuela,
00:01:45a motor and lubrication pump for the
00:01:47As of the report, no generator to keep the oil in the generator as such, the
00:01:50engineers do not stop working, they change the
00:01:53old parts for the
00:01:55the flood and maintained new ones, little by little they are reactivating the
00:01:59equipment so that...
00:02:30which was affected by the illegal sanctions of the United States by not
00:02:34being able to access original spare parts,
00:02:39multipolar world. The new era of waiting for the spare parts, the spare part has already arrived, let's go forward, my love, when it's 24 hours, we give it
00:02:4324 hours for the rest of the days, from 7 a.m. to 7
00:02:47p.m., from 7 to 9, from 7 to 10, aha, we have to
00:02:50give it, but that's what we're looking for, that
00:02:53the country builds and the things that are being
00:02:57abusive use of provided, we have a better operation with electricity,
00:03:01little by little we're getting there. The earthquake affected 800
00:03:04MW and of those, 600 were recovered 3
00:03:07months after the seismic double that stabilized
00:03:10electricity mainly in three states in the central west
00:03:14of the country. Trust us, because we are
00:03:18guarantors of the national electrical system. We are
00:03:21focused, committed, and even
00:03:24in love with what the electrical system is and its proper
00:03:28functioning, its good service. We are service providers
00:03:31with quality, with vocation and well, with love
00:03:35for Venezuela too, so that Venezuela
00:03:38grows. And Venezuela grew for the third consecutive
00:03:41year, despite the difficulties. Dialogue with
00:03:45private companies and consensus allowed the country to
00:03:47rank first in Latin America and has
00:03:51remained so. And this speaks volumes about the effort of what we are
00:03:55capable of, I always say, what we are capable of
00:03:59as Venezuelans. And you as entrepreneurs in the most
00:04:02difficult environment of economic
00:04:05blockade, of financial blockade, gave and
00:04:09have given your best to move forward. The
00:04:13acting president, Delssis Rodríguez, announced that a reform of the
00:04:17electrical system law is on the way, it's coming
00:04:20soon, and when I say soon, I'm referring to the next
00:04:24the nation. Although it has few days, a week, but it won't go past this
00:04:27year, a reform of the national electrical system law
00:04:30that allows private
00:04:34participation in the processes
00:04:38about cinema stories, life of generation, transmission, distribution,
00:04:40this is something that we have also been discussing with the private
00:04:43sector, in addition to the electrical sector, Venezuela has a clear
00:04:47growth path in other sectors such as
00:04:50petrochemicals, oil with 61 agreements signed with
00:04:54different countries around the world. Madelín García, Telesur, Caracas,
00:04:57Venezuela.
00:05:00In Colombia, a bill seeks to sanction the practice of influencing
00:05:04democracy through the massive
00:05:07damage is use of social media with fake profiles to influence political
00:05:11and social perception. the population. Esteban Garabito expands on
00:05:14this.
00:05:17In Colombia, a bill seeks to penalize the practice of creating
00:05:21fake accounts on different digital social networks,
00:05:24which are used to influence public opinion regarding political
00:05:28and electoral issues, which negatively affects the
00:05:31country's democracy. Bots
00:05:34are fake agents created through a systematization that
00:05:37seeks to generate a screen of simulations around the
00:05:41participation of people who are generally
00:05:44non-existent. These bots not only fulfill functions
00:05:48of inflating, if you will, theories, information, etc., but
00:05:51also of public
00:05:55banning, meaning that they can boost the algorithm so that
00:05:59information is seen through communication networks, they can
00:06:02also bury it, meaning that they manage
00:06:06the search terms that
00:06:10today generate the intermediation channels. Public
00:06:13information, the incorporation of language models and artificial
00:06:16intelligence has made bots much more difficult to detect.
00:06:20Today they are capable of holding fluid conversations and creating
00:06:24convincing content in real time, influencing public
00:06:28chats on social networks, but they do this by
00:06:31hundreds or thousands, this is known as bot farms
00:06:35created and operated by paid individuals for the purpose of
00:06:38political marketing.
00:06:42The proposed anti-bot bill
00:06:45to control and penalize the misuse of artificial
00:06:48intelligence in electoral campaigns is a reality, it has not only happened in
00:06:52Colombia, in Bolivia, in Chile, it is happening right now
00:06:56in Brazil in Lula's electoral campaign, that
00:06:59is, in an uncontrolled,
00:07:02illegal way, bot
00:07:05farms are being used, which pretend to be
00:07:08people and exponentially, algorithmically,
00:07:12they put pressure on the community and digital conversation
00:07:16to influence voters, and that needs
00:07:19to be controlled, democracies are in danger, nothing
00:07:23more and nothing less than the possibility of
00:07:26uncontrolled manipulation causes citizens to end up
00:07:30making decisions in an ill-informed way.
00:07:34Jurists raise the need to develop this bill
00:07:37so that there is a criminal sanction, capable of turning this
00:07:41practice into a digital crime that affects
00:07:44democracy in Colombia and that even puts the
00:07:48lives of candidates at risk in electoral times, that's
00:07:51why this initiative is welcome, what would I add
00:07:54to that initiative, the need to establish
00:07:57obligations for multinational
00:08:00platforms that manage social networks
00:08:04to help prevent this type of
00:08:09social networks. Latin America has been seeing in
00:08:13recent decades this type of political
00:08:17campaigns facilitated by transnational,
00:08:20corrupt money, money laundering, by
00:08:23interests also linked to techno-fascism and therefore
00:08:27we must prevent, we must
00:08:30protect citizen freedoms, the
00:08:33right to be properly informed in a
00:08:36political campaign to choose the best options and not
00:08:40to choose those people
00:08:43who have more power to manipulate social
00:08:46networks. The need for this law is urgent in times when
00:08:50there are doubts about the way politics is being done on social
00:08:53networks, with the danger of being scenarios of mass voter
00:08:57conduction to the path of political deception through dishonest marketing.
00:09:01Esteban Gravito Poveda, Telesur,
00:09:04Bogotá, Colombia. The
00:09:07Superior Electoral Court of Brazil demanded explanations from Meta
00:09:10this Saturday after
00:09:12a formal complaint from the campaign of presidential candidate Luis Ignacio Lula
00:09:16da Silva, which accuses the technology company of limiting the
00:09:19reach of its content on social networks to favor opposition
00:09:23candidate Flavio Bolsonaro ahead of the October 25th
00:09:27runoff. The complaint states that
00:09:30official profiles and publications of the president
00:09:33suffered technical restrictions, interruptions in
00:09:36views and disappearances in search engines,
00:09:39affecting his digital strategy. Given this
00:09:42situation, the judicial body granted the company a
00:09:46period of 48 hours to detail the measures
00:09:49applied, account by account, and clarify the questioned
00:09:52metrics. For its part, Meta categorically rejected the
00:09:56accusations through an official statement, calling them
00:10:00false and asserting or stating that they comply
00:10:04with electoral
00:10:05regulations.
00:10:12In Argentina, various sectors of the economy are experiencing double-digit
00:10:16declines, according to data cited in an economic
00:10:19report. Among the most affected items
00:10:22are computer equipment, with a decrease of
00:10:2639.5%,
00:10:28agricultural machinery with 31.2%, and
00:10:32home appliances with a contraction of
00:10:3527.8%.
00:10:37These setbacks are joined by declines in
00:10:41supermarket sales and in gastronomic
00:10:44activity, I meant to say, while various
00:10:48companies face difficulties. Although
00:10:50industry and construction registered slight monthly
00:10:54upturns in August, both remain below 2023
00:10:57levels, in a scenario that also includes
00:11:01company closures and job
00:11:03losses.
00:11:10Also in Argentina, with the participation of indigenous peoples from
00:11:13different countries, the 39th
00:11:16Plurinational Meeting of Women and Diversities began in
00:11:19Córdoba, an event that brings together thousands of people
00:11:23around debates, cultural activities, and
00:11:26mobilizations. The initial day was marked
00:11:29by a
00:11:32the city, bringing together thousands of participants.
00:11:36Under the slogan, "The land is not for sale, the land is
00:11:39defended." In these meetings, one of the central
00:11:42axes is the defense of territories and
00:11:45sovereignty, along with demands for human rights and
00:11:48equality. In this sense, the program includes workshops
00:11:52and assemblies on gender violence, diversity, and
00:11:56household debt. The meeting will
00:11:59extend until October 12th, and its organizers
00:12:02expect widespread participation in the planned
00:12:05mobilizations throughout
00:12:06the city.
00:12:12Let's go to a short break and we'll be back.
00:13:06Back here at Telesur News, the United
00:13:10Nations warns that approximately 50,000 women
00:13:13and girls in Gaza have been victims of murder or, in their
00:13:17absence, have been seriously injured. The spokesperson for
00:13:20UN Women, Sofia Caltor, head of the
00:13:23humanitarian action section in the city of Geneva, presented the
00:13:27report detailing that more than 38,000 women in
00:13:30Gaza have been executed and another
00:13:3311,700 suffer serious injuries
00:13:36that, in many cases, have led to permanent
00:13:39disability. This happened in the first
00:13:42two years of the beginning of the Zionist genocide in October
00:13:452023, although since the beginning of the ceasefire, the
00:13:49number continues to expand. In addition to this,
00:13:52nearly 1 million women and girls
00:13:55have been forcibly displaced from their
00:13:58homes or are living in tents amidst the ruins of their
00:14:02homes.
00:14:02The
00:14:10Special Rapporteur of the United Nations for the Occupied Palestinian
00:14:14Territories, Francesca Albanese, warned that the
00:14:17explosive power of Israeli bombings on the
00:14:20Gaza Strip during the last 3 years
00:14:23is equivalent to six nuclear bombs, describing the current
00:14:27humanitarian crisis as a slow death process for the
00:14:31civilian population. Albanese denounced the massive destruction
00:14:34of infrastructure, the collapse of the health system, and
00:14:38the spread of diseases and malnutrition. She also
00:14:41pointed out that approximately 1.8 million
00:14:44Palestinians are displaced and crammed into
00:14:48less than 30% of the territory. Given the lack of
00:14:51effective international support and the
00:14:55efficient entry of humanitarian aid, the official urged
00:14:58the global community to take urgent measures to
00:15:01curb the extreme suffering and continuous displacement
00:15:05experienced by the inhabitants of the Palestinian
00:15:07enclave.
00:15:16Washington was the scene of a new day of
00:15:19protests in defense of the Palestinian people. In front of the Capitol,
00:15:23the demonstrators demanded changes in US policy
00:15:27towards Israel, while the exacerbation of the genocide
00:15:30carried out by the regime against Gaza enters its
00:15:34third year. José Leveña with the report.
00:15:38In different cities around the world, thousands of people took to the streets to express their
00:15:42solidarity with Palestine and denounce the Israeli offensive, three years
00:15:45after the genocide in Gaza. In Washington, dozens of organizations and hundreds of citizens gathered
00:15:49in front of the Capitol to demand an end to the occupation policies and
00:15:53support for Israel. Among those who took to the streets are relatives of victims,
00:15:56Palestinian-American citizens, and activists who denounce that violence
00:16:00continues to mark the lives of millions of people. For many, 3 years
00:16:03later, the pain is not a memory, it continues to arrive in the form of news about
00:16:07deaths and destroyed
00:16:08families.
00:16:11Just this weekend, my relatives were killed in Gaza while
00:16:15they slept, a grandmother and her daughter, just after their
00:16:19children had visited them. Three years ago, my
00:16:23friend, Aunt Ilham, a friend of my
00:16:26mother, was killed and run over by a bulldozer
00:16:30when she was trying to take a shower. It has been three
00:16:33years of non-stop murder, every
00:16:36day against Christians and Muslims
00:16:38without distinction, against children and the elderly,
00:16:42we are here to say that this has to
00:16:44end.
00:16:50We have been through 3 years of genocide and many
00:16:53people, especially from governments, not ordinary people like us,
00:16:56say there is no genocide. I believe
00:16:59it is 100% genocide. We are
00:17:02in disagreement with the governments and I felt it was
00:17:06very important to come and
00:17:08express what I feel, it is
00:17:11a genocide.
00:17:15Activists warn about the spread of violence in the Middle East and
00:17:18reject the normalization of military operations and occupation. They assure
00:17:22that the mobilization not only seeks to remember the victims, but also
00:17:26to maintain pressure so that Palestine remains at the center of the international debate and that denunciations
00:17:29of human rights violations do not fall into
00:17:32oblivion. It is important to be here today because people
00:17:36have suffered genocide and occupation for decades and now
00:17:39they are trying to do the same with Iran and Lebanon. As
00:17:42Americans, we will not allow that to
00:17:45happen. I am here to support the Palestinian
00:17:48people, three years after this genocide
00:17:51began, I thought that the world would have reacted and
00:17:55that a change would have occurred, but I see that
00:17:59Israel is intensifying its actions even further. I want the
00:18:02Palestinian people to be able to achieve some kind of
00:18:06liberation, I don't know how.
00:18:16Demonstrators denounce that the occupation is expanding and that control over Gaza remains a point of contention. They also question international initiatives that do not guarantee the rights of the Palestinian people or end the
00:18:19aggression. This situation continues,
00:18:22Israel increasingly assumes control over Gaza,
00:18:26while Trump's false peace council, which is a council of
00:18:30genocides and opportunists, continues to take control of
00:18:33Palestine and extend its aggression throughout
00:18:35the West Bank and, in fact, throughout the
00:18:38entire region. After the march, activists met to
00:18:42exchange proposals and coordinate common actions, with the aim of maintaining
00:18:46mobilization and exploring avenues of pressure from the United States given the situation in
00:18:49Palestine and the escalation of violence in the region.
00:18:53The protesters insist on their demands: an arms embargo on
00:18:56Israel, sanctions, and an end to international support, which they denounce contributes
00:19:00to the continuation of violence. From Washington,
00:19:04where these demands point directly to the role of the United
00:19:08States as Israel's main ally, it is more
00:19:11important than ever, reported José Leveña for
00:19:13Telesur. This Saturday, US military
00:19:17forces attacked the commercial vessel Oceamulika, flying a Panamanian
00:19:20flag, in the Gulf of Oman after it departed from
00:19:24an Iranian port. According to the US Central Command, the attack
00:19:28disabled the propulsion system of the vessel, which
00:19:31allegedly attempted to evade the naval blockade against
00:19:35Iran. In parallel, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
00:19:38reported that a supertanker caught fire in
00:19:41the Strait of Hormuz after hitting a naval
00:19:45mine while navigating through a route that Tehran
00:19:48described as unauthorized. These
00:19:50incidents occur amidst maritime transit restrictions and
00:19:54cross warnings about navigation in one of the
00:19:57world's main energy routes.
00:20:01In the Russian region of Vladimir,
00:20:08a drone attack caused damage to a Yandex data center,
00:20:12which had to suspend operations, as reported
00:20:16by the company. Yandex indicated that no casualties
00:20:19have been reported and that emergency services attended the
00:20:23scene to deal with the consequences of the incident.
00:20:26The company also warned that the resources that remain
00:20:30available present instability, which affects
00:20:32the functioning of the platform. Given this,
00:20:35Yandex Cloud services operate in
00:20:39emergency mode while infrastructure
00:20:44being addressed.
00:20:45This
00:20:55Saturday, the Chinese government reaffirmed its sovereignty over the
00:20:59province of Taiwan and defended the principle
00:21:03of one China after questioning the statements of the
00:21:06Taiwanese president on the defense of the island's freedom
00:21:10and security. The spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs
00:21:14Office, Shahan,
00:21:16accused the official of promoting separatism and
00:21:20fueling tensions on both sides of the Strait. In
00:21:23this regard, Beijing reiterated that Taiwan is an inalienable
00:21:27part of Chinese territory and warned
00:21:30that it would oppose any attempt at
00:21:33independence or external interference. Meanwhile,
00:21:36the Taiwanese authorities insist on their
00:21:40right to preserve the island's system of government
00:21:43and strengthen its defensive capabilities. This historical
00:21:47dispute maintains international attention on the Taiwan
00:21:50Strait, a strategic area for regional stability.
00:22:11A sudden rise in the Budigandaki River in north-central
00:22:15Nepal caused the destruction of homes and other
00:22:19structures, forcing authorities to evacuate
00:22:23residents from riverside areas. As part of emergency
00:22:26operations, a Nepalese army helicopter
00:22:29rescued six people in the town of
00:22:32Jagat, where there is also a risk of landslides.
00:22:37fatalities had been reported, while disaster
00:22:40management teams investigated the causes of
00:22:45alerts in nearby communities. This incident
00:22:48occurs while the country is still facing the consequences of
00:22:52previous floods that caused serious human and
00:22:55material damage.
00:22:57In the United States, Hurricane
00:23:05Isaías made landfall in Florida as a Category 2 and weakened
00:23:08to a depression, leaving a toll of four dead and at
00:23:12least 900,000 users without power. Let's look at the
00:23:15details.
00:23:17First, in Florida,
00:23:21a woman died when a tree fell on her house, and a
00:23:25man died in his garage from a running generator.
00:23:28In addition to this, the governor of Alabama confirmed two
00:23:32more deaths. In this context, it left about
00:23:35900,000 users without
00:23:38electricity, with Florida being the most affected
00:23:41state with approximately 440,000,
00:23:44followed by Alabama with 310,000 and
00:23:48Georgia with 114,000. It also
00:23:50left fallen trees, blocked
00:23:54streets, and damage to urban infrastructure.
00:23:58The state of Florida declared
00:24:00an emergency in 27 counties and mobilized 5,000
00:24:04National Guard members. Similarly, Alabama
00:24:07declared an emergency in 40 counties. Several localities
00:24:11ordered preventive evacuations in vulnerable
00:24:15areas, given the risk of flooding and possible
00:24:18tornadoes in parts of Florida, Alabama, and
00:24:21Georgia.
00:24:23However, although Isaías has
00:24:27already weakened, the National Hurricane Center warned of
00:24:31potentially deadly storm surges,
00:24:34flash floods, and up to 38
00:24:37cm of rain in areas of northeast Florida. It is worth
00:24:41remembering that Isaías was the first hurricane to make landfall
00:24:45on the continental United States since Milton in
00:24:48October 2024.
00:24:50Hurricane Simon, Category 4,
00:24:56is approaching western Mexico and is expected to make landfall this
00:25:00October 11th in the west of the country. According
00:25:04to the most recent report from the National Meteorological
