00:02:20maintain its growth rate and increase its audience
00:02:24participation, despite having boosted new sources of
00:02:28revenue such as ad-supported plans, live events
00:02:32and video games, its sales have slowed down
00:02:35recently. In addition, its shares have lost value amid
00:02:39investors' attention on its
00:02:42expansion strategy and its commercial
00:02:46results.
00:02:55Changing the subject, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced
00:02:59this Saturday what he called an obsessive
00:03:02persecution by the United States government against Cuba's
00:03:06international medical cooperation programs. The
00:03:09official questioned the new report from the State Department
00:03:13on human trafficking, considering that it is
00:03:16used to justify
00:03:19days, from 7 to 7 at diplomatic pressure and restrict these
00:03:21Qat sales post in the missions. According to the published information, the
00:03:24U.S. document again points to some Cuban
00:03:28professional cooperation
00:03:31programs abroad as forced labor. In this regard,
00:03:34Havana maintains that these
00:03:36evacuate residents from measures seek to weaken its international

00:03:52care.
00:04:00In Cuba, electricity service was reestablished in the
00:04:03eastern region of the country after a partial disconnection
00:04:07registered this Saturday, reported the electric union. According to the
00:04:11entity, the interruption was due to a fault in the
00:04:14220 kV transmission line that connects
00:04:18Nuevitas with Las Tunas. This
00:04:21incident occurs amidst the
00:04:23relationship between the United States and difficulties faced by the Cuban electrical system,
00:04:27including limitations in the supply of fuel and
00:04:30the availability of resources for its maintenance, the
00:04:34blockade and restrictions imposed by the United States
00:04:37make it difficult to acquire fuel, parts and
00:04:42162 other necessary supplies for the operation of the
00:04:44sector.
00:04:49announced that a reform of the The persistent
00:04:53armed violence in Haiti
00:04:55sees. Today we're going to talk about what that leaves more than 5,700
00:04:58have also occurred, which victims, including dead and injured, so far in 2026, finds its
00:05:02main driver in the illicit
00:05:04authorities are monitoring arms trade, according to a report by the UN Security
00:05:07Council's panel of experts.
00:05:11A large part of this arsenal feeds powerful criminal
00:05:14gangs such as 400 Mawozo and Grand
00:05:18Ravine. The document indicates that a good part of these
00:05:21war supplies enter illegally through the
00:05:24border with the Dominican Republic, despite control
00:05:27operations and historical seizures, such as the
00:05:31more than 22,000 munitions confiscated at the end of
00:05:352022 in Elías Piña. Investigations
00:05:38have not yet managed to publicly identify the main
00:05:41leaders of these transnational networks.
00:05:45On the other hand, the United Nations report also
00:05:48warns about the existence of possible
00:05:51institutional corruption networks involving
00:05:55agents and connections with military units.
00:06:08We're going to take a very brief break and
00:06:10we'll be back.
00:07:03Back here at Telesur News, thank you for joining us. Venezuela
00:07:07reaches 3 consecutive years of economic growth
00:07:10and ECLAC estimates that it will close 2026 at more than
00:07:146.5%. One of the sectors that is
00:07:18being renewed is the electrical sector. The report with Madelen
00:07:21García.
00:07:24Spare parts continue to arrive for the different thermoelectric plants in
00:07:27Venezuela,
00:07:30a motor and lubrication pump for the generator to keep the
00:07:33oil in the generator as such, the engineers do not stop
00:07:37working, they change the old parts for new
00:07:40ones. Little by little, they are reactivating the
00:07:44equipment to generate megawatts, this is done by
00:07:47Venezuelan private companies together with the workers of the national
00:07:50electrical system. We are checking and verifying each signal and each
00:07:54piece of equipment, performing maintenance and adjustments to leave them in operational
00:07:58condition. We are incorporating
00:08:01megawatts into the system to improve
00:08:04the conditions of the system, to improve the national electrical system, that's
00:08:08what it's about, yes we are recovering, of course.
00:08:11The goal is to recover in the medium term the electrical
00:08:14sector that was affected by the illegal sanctions of the United
00:08:18States by not being able to access original
00:08:21spare parts. Waiting for the spare parts, the spare part
00:08:25has arrived, let's go forward, my love, when it's 24 hours we give
00:08:28it 24 hours the rest of the
00:08:32night, from 7 to 9, from 7 to 10, yes, you have to
00:08:35give it, but for that we are looking for that, that
00:08:39the country and build and the things that...
00:08:42we have a better operation with electricity,
00:08:46there we go little by little. The earthquake affected 800
00:08:49MW and of those 600 were recovered,
00:08:52three months after the seismic doublet, which stabilized
00:08:55electricity mainly in three states in the central-western
00:08:59part of the country. Trust us, because we are
00:09:03guarantors of the national electrical system, we are
00:09:06focused, committed and even
00:09:09in love with what the electrical system is and its proper
00:09:13functioning, its good service, we are service
00:09:16providers with quality, with
00:09:18vocation and well, with love for Venezuela also so that
00:09:22Venezuela grows and
00:09:25Venezuela grew for the third consecutive year despite the
00:09:28difficulties, dialogue with private companies and consensus
00:09:31allowed the country to be ranked first in
00:09:35Latin America and has remained so, this speaks
00:09:38volumes of the effort of what we are capable of, I always say that...
00:09:42what we are capable of as Venezuelans and you as
00:09:46entrepreneurs in the most difficult environment of
00:09:49economic blockade, of financial
00:09:52blockade, you gave and have given your best
00:09:55to move forward. The acting
00:09:58president Rodríguez
00:10:02electrical system law is underway, soon
00:10:05it will come, soon and when I say soon I am referring to the next
00:10:09days, weeks, but it will not pass
00:10:12this year. A reform of the national electrical system
00:10:15law of the electrical service that allows private
00:10:18participation in the processes
00:10:21of generation, transmission, distribution.
00:10:25This is something we have also been discussing with the private
00:10:29sector. In addition to the electrical sector, Venezuela has a clear
00:10:33growth path in other sectors such as petrochemicals, oil with 61 agreements
00:10:37signed with different countries around
00:10:40the world. Madelín García, Telesur, Caracas,
00:10:43Venezuela.
00:10:46Youth mobilization in Ecuador this Saturday was marked by
00:10:49protest signs and slogans against President
00:10:53Daniel Noboa and his administration.
00:10:55The protesters marched through the Guambra underpass and
00:10:59advanced towards Carondelet Palace in the historic
00:11:02center of Quito, the capital,
00:11:04let's listen: first because of the lack of jobs for
00:11:08us young people, we leave school and there are no
00:11:11jobs, then the lack of medicine, we cannot access it, parents
00:11:15are suffering because they do not have medicine and the whole security
00:11:19situation, they kill us, I already have four friends who have been killed
00:11:23due to insecurity and we are...
00:11:33We are here as a popular response to the government's
00:11:36measures from all areas, from the economic
00:11:40sphere, from the political sphere, from the discourse
00:11:42sphere, I believe that the
00:11:45people are already reaching a
00:11:48saturation point that is making us
00:11:52angry and we are here trying to express all our
00:11:55discontent, there is no political
00:11:57party that we are representing, it
00:12:01is the people, it is the popular will and we will continue
00:12:05with this. During his participation in the
00:12:10Mexico City, former foreign minister and current
00:12:14Ecuadorian assembly member Ricardo Patiño of Citizen Revolution,
00:12:17described the current political situation in his country as a
00:12:21dictatorship, denouncing the electoral disqualification of his party for 9 months
00:12:25ahead of the November elections. Our
00:12:28colleague García is in Mexico and gives us more details,
00:12:31go ahead.
00:12:34At this time we are at the Mexican Labor Party
00:12:38Congress, and well,
00:12:41with the great surprise we are
00:12:45happy to find an old friend here, a familiar
00:12:48face, someone who knows a lot about our
00:12:52countries in Latin America, foreign
00:12:55policy because he was foreign minister in
00:12:58Ecuador, here we have Ricardo
00:13:01Patiño, it's a pleasure to see
00:13:04you, Mr. Foreign Minister, I will always call you Foreign Minister and now
00:13:07he is an assembly member in Ecuador, yes,
00:13:10for which party, for the Citizen Revolution, the most
00:13:14important, the most important and most committed political
00:13:18party of our
00:13:20country, former foreign minister and dear
00:13:23assembly member Patiño. How do you see Ecuador
00:13:26today? Well, Ecuador is living under a dictatorship,
00:13:30it must be said clearly. It is not an
00:13:33authoritarian democracy, no, no, it's not that, it's a
00:13:37dictatorship. We are living in a country that
00:13:41at this moment, has prevented most
00:13:44of the political parties
00:13:47and Ecuadorian leaders from participating in the
00:13:51electoral process. Many people do not know this, but it is happening in
00:13:54Ecuador, the Citizen Revolution, the main party of
00:13:57Ecuador, has been suspended for 9 months, that is,
00:14:01during the electoral process, because we have elections in November, but in addition to
00:14:05that they have imprisoned, persecuted
00:14:08a series of political leaders, among them, the mayor of the largest city in
00:14:12Ecuador, Guayaquil, the mayor of Cuenca, uh,
00:14:16personalities who constitute
00:14:19themselves, they constitute themselves as the greatest options
00:14:23for re-election. political in Ecuador, they have removed them from the
00:14:26ballot, persecuting them for
00:14:29absolutely false and trivial reasons, this is what we are experiencing in
00:14:33Ecuador, unfortunately, I hope the American
00:14:36people become aware of this and do not give
00:14:39their support in this period, but
00:14:42manage to make the situation different, that
00:14:48the world, is not so violent, so interventionist,
00:14:52so terrifying for countries. How is it
00:14:55doing? Thank you, thank you, Ricardo Patiño, former
00:14:58foreign minister of Ecuador and now assembly member for the
00:15:02Revolution party. That's right, citizen.
00:15:06Well, we return our microphones to
00:15:09Caracas, Venezuela.
00:15:13Thank you, Aisa, for that interview. We change the subject in
00:15:16Argentina, different sectors of the economy show
00:15:19double-digit drops, according to data cited in an
00:15:23economic report. Among the most affected items are
00:15:27computer equipment with a drop of
00:15:2939.5%,
00:15:32agricultural machinery with 31.2% and
00:15:35home appliances with a contraction of
00:15:3827.8%.
00:15:40These setbacks are joined by declines in supermarket
00:15:43sales and in gastronomic activity,
00:15:47while different companies face difficulties.
00:15:51Although industry and construction
00:15:54registered slight monthly upturns in
00:15:56August, both continue below 2023
00:16:00levels, in a scenario that also includes business
00:16:03closures and job losses.
00:16:13And speaking of Argentina, with the participation of indigenous peoples from
00:16:16different countries, the 39th Plurinational Meeting of
00:16:20Women and Diversities began in
00:16:22Córdoba, a day that brings together thousands of people around
00:16:26debates, cultural activities and
00:16:29mobilizations. The initial day was marked by a
00:16:34the city, bringing together thousands of participants
00:16:38under the slogan "the land is not for sale, the land must be
00:16:41defended." In these meetings, one of the
00:16:44central themes is the defense of territories and
00:16:47sovereignty, along with demands for human rights
00:16:51and equality. In this regard, the program includes
00:16:54workshops and assemblies on gender violence,
00:16:57diversity and household debt. The meeting will
00:17:01extend until October 12 and its organizers
00:17:05expect wide participation in the
00:17:08planned mobilizations throughout the
00:17:10city.
00:17:19Another brief pause and we'll be back.
00:17:40Our planet is full of natural paradises that
00:17:44beautify the environment
00:17:47and invite us to protect it from the threats that
00:17:50lurk,
00:17:52unknown wonders that await to be discovered by
00:17:56you.
00:17:58Join us to travel the world from a tourist
00:18:02perspective, let's move towards a
00:18:04new.
00:18:08Green destination every Wednesday,
00:18:11only on Telesur.
00:18:48Back here on Telesur Noticias, at least two civilians died and
00:18:52another was injured after an airstrike attributed to
00:18:55Saudi Arabia against a
00:18:59Yemeni province of Taiz, according to the
00:19:02Al Masirah media. In another incident
00:19:06recorded in the same province, a child died when an
00:19:10artifact remaining from previous
00:19:13military operations exploded. In addition, six new airstrikes
00:19:17were reported in the district of Max in the province of
00:19:20Saada. It is important to note that these events
00:19:24rekindle concern for the safety of the civilian
00:19:27population, especially mothers and children, given the
00:19:31attacks and the danger posed by unexploded
00:19:34ordnance.
00:19:43In the Gaza Strip, nearly 2 million 100,000
00:19:46Palestinians need safe shelter as winter
00:19:49approaches. The International Organization for Migration warns that
00:19:53intense rains and floods could
00:19:56worsen the living conditions of the population. According to the
00:20:00organization, available supplies and those on
00:20:03the way only cover 17% of urgent
00:20:06needs. In addition, 8600
00:20:10emergency kits are still awaiting authorization to
00:20:13enter Gaza. For its part, the Gaza Press
00:20:17Office reported that
00:20:20of the 270,000 tents installed
00:20:24can no longer be used. Damage to infrastructure
00:20:27also hinders repairs and drainage. Given this
00:20:31scenario, humanitarian organizations call for
00:20:33facilitating the entry of aid and equipment to improve
00:20:38and protect Palestinian families from the cold and
00:20:41rain.
00:20:51The UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian
00:20:55territories, Francesca Albanese, warned that the
00:20:58explosive power of Israeli bombardments on the Gaza
00:21:02Strip over the last 3 years
00:21:05is equivalent to six nuclear bombs, describing the current
00:21:08humanitarian crisis as a process of slow death for
00:21:12the civilian population. Albanese denounced the massive destruction
00:21:16of infrastructure, the collapse of the health system
00:21:20and the spread of diseases and malnutrition. She also
00:21:23pointed out that approximately 1.8 million
00:21:26Palestinians are displaced and confined to less than
00:21:3030% of the territory. Given the lack of
00:21:34effective international support and insufficient humanitarian
00:21:37aid, the official urged the global community
00:21:41to take urgent measures to halt the extreme
00:21:44suffering and continuous displacement suffered by the
00:21:48inhabitants of the Palestinian enclave.
00:21:57Ireland proposed to reduce the European
00:21:59Union budget by 8% for the period
00:22:032028-2034
00:22:05with adjustments that would primarily affect the areas of
00:22:09competitiveness and security. The initiative
00:22:12proposes allocating 1.62
00:22:15trillion euros compared to the 1.76
00:22:18trillion proposed by the European Commission, according to
00:22:22figures calculated at constant 2025
00:22:24prices. The cuts would focus on
00:22:28research, defense and transport, while resources
00:22:32allocated to agriculture and cohesion would
00:22:35remain almost unchanged. The proposal was
00:22:38presented during the Irish presidency of the Council
00:22:42of the European Union and will have to be
00:22:45negotiated by member states before
00:22:48defining the budget for the next 7
00:22:51years.
00:22:59We stay in Europe, in Ceuta, Spain, the national police
00:23:04Guano beach, where about 400
00:23:08migrants remained. The operation took place two days
00:23:12before the King's visit and had the support of the
00:23:15Civil Guard and the local police. Before the
00:23:18intervention, several people collected their belongings and
00:23:22left the place, others were transferred by bus to a
00:23:25temporary foreign assistance center for their
00:23:29identification. After this procedure, the migrants will be
00:23:33transferred to the reception facilities set up by the
00:23:36Spanish government. During the eviction, agents also
00:23:40located several minors, who were separated
00:23:44from adults to receive differentiated
00:23:47attention. With this operation, the last migrant
00:23:51settlement remaining on the beaches of
00:23:54Ceuta was removed.
00:24:14A sudden rise in the Budigandaki River in north-central
00:24:18Nepal caused damage to homes and other
00:24:21structures, forcing authorities to
00:24:26riparian areas. As part of emergency
00:24:30operations, a Nepalese army helicopter
00:24:33rescued six people in the town of Yagat,
00:24:37where there is also a risk of
00:24:40report, no fatalities had been reported, while disaster
00:24:43management teams were investigating the
00:24:46causes of the flood and
00:24:50maintaining an alert in nearby communities. The episode
00:24:54occurs while the country is still facing the
00:24:57consequences of previous floods that caused serious
00:25:01human and material damage.
00:25:03materiales.
00:25:11Latin America is also hit by the climate
00:25:14crisis. Hurricane Simón, category 4, is approaching
00:25:18western Mexico and is expected to make landfall this
00:25:22October 11 in the west of the country, according to the
00:25:25most recent report from the National Meteorological Service. The
00:25:28phenomenon is located 185 km south-southwest
00:25:32of the nation, it has not yet
00:25:35made landfall, its effects are already
00:25:38registered in the west and south of the country, while
00:25:42the waves have increased in height and
00:25:45strength, heavy rains
00:25:48could lead to floods and other
00:25:51damages. Given this,
00:25:54the phenomenon before its upcoming arrival on the
00:25:58coasts of the Mexican
00:25:59Pacific.
00:26:09In this regard, the president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum,
00:26:12announced the suspension of non-essential activities in
00:26:16western Mexican states due to the arrival of
00:26:19Hurricane Simón, the president wrote on her social network
00:26:22X. We inform the population of Jalisco, Colima,
00:26:26Michoacán and Nayarit, that non-essential activities
00:26:29are suspended today Saturday starting at 4 p.m.
