00:01:50Good evening, welcome to this edition of Telesur Noticias.
00:01:53I am Andrea Romero. Here are our
00:01:55headlines.
00:02:00in the United States, over 53 million votes have been cast
00:02:03two days before the midterm
00:02:07tell you that Venezuelan Jackson election.
00:02:09300 US military personnel arrive in Colombia to conduct
00:02:13joint exercises, an initiative of the government that generates
00:02:16rejection among the Colombian
00:02:18population.
00:02:22At least eight Palestinians, including a 3-year-old child and five
00:02:26police officers, were killed in new Israeli
00:02:30airstrikes against the Gaza
00:02:31Strip.
00:02:39his compatriot Wilger Abreu The United States has surpassed 53 million early
00:02:43Transportation Safety Board in votes two days before the midterm elections, elections
00:02:45where Democrats and Republicans are vying for the majority of seats
00:02:49in the Senate. According to polls, at
00:02:53least 44.2% of early voters identify
00:02:57as Democrat, and 32% as
00:03:00Republican, while another 23.9%
00:03:04identify as independent. In this regard, analysts and political
00:03:07advisors highlight that these figures represent the
00:03:11widespread discontent of the population with President Donald
00:03:14Trump's policies, among them, the intensification of
00:03:18deportation operations against migrants stands out, which motivated
00:03:22electoral participation to express rejection at the
00:03:28a new home. At the polls.
00:03:31In the United States, donations for the campaign of
00:03:35Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Party nominee
00:03:38for Senate in Michigan, are increasing. Haley
00:03:40Stevens, Elsayed's main rival, appeared alongside Republican
00:03:44Senate candidate
00:03:47movement, was held in Mike Rogers in an attempt to discredit the Democratic
00:03:51nominee, but the move backfired and sparked
00:03:54a wave of financial and popular support for
00:03:57Elsayed. The official leadership of the Michigan Democratic
00:04:01Party flatly rejected the maneuver and officially
00:04:04declared that Stevens is no longer an active member of the State
00:04:08Democratic Party and will not be in the future, evidencing the
00:04:12internal fracture and rejection of far-right tactics within
00:04:15Democratic
00:04:16ranks.
00:04:22Also, through its social networks, the Michigan Democratic Party
00:04:26issued the following statement. The Michigan Democratic Party
00:04:30stands united and fully supports Abdul El
00:04:33Sayed, a committed fighter with a proven track record
00:04:37in defending Michigan's working families. In turn, the
00:04:40message also expresses Hail Stevens' decision to campaign
00:04:44alongside Rogers, a man who has repeatedly betrayed
00:04:47Michigan's working class, who intends to impose a national
00:04:51abortion ban, and who has promised to unconditionally support
00:04:55Trump's agenda, demonstrates that she has abandoned everything
00:04:58she claims to defend. It also
00:05:01and tour operators. As denounces the following: Mike Rogers supports Donald
00:05:04Trump's agenda, and we know his voting record well during his time
00:05:08in Congress. It is deeply disappointing that a candidate who
00:05:12spent 14 years in Washington, earning a 33%
00:05:15rating from the NAACP, now expects
00:05:19to be received in our places of
00:05:23worship as a friend. Our community remembers how
00:05:26he voted when it really mattered.
00:05:29Finally, the statement shares the following: any
00:05:32Democrat who has asked for our votes has an
00:05:35obligation to this community to clearly
00:05:39oppose him. The differences within our
00:05:42party are resolved at the polls, and so it was. This Tuesday,
00:05:46Michigan Democrats will vote for Abdul El
00:05:49Sayed.
00:05:58What do Americans choose this November 3rd
00:06:01in the midterm elections? Let's see the answer in the following
00:06:04material.
00:06:08In the United States, all 435 seats in the
00:06:13of the lower house will define the correlation of legislative forces and the
00:06:17balance of power in the US Congress, where they serve
00:06:22the entire chamber is renewed simultaneously. The lower house is
00:06:25usually where bills are represented and debated.
00:06:29ley.
00:06:32Also, 35 of the 100 Senate seats are renewed. The elected
00:06:35senators will serve six-year terms, which have the constitutional
00:06:39power to approve, modify, or ratify bills
00:06:42previously approved by the House
00:06:44of Representatives.
00:06:48At the territorial level, the contest has a direct impact on local management,
00:06:52as 36 of the 50 states elect governors for four-year
00:06:56terms. These elections will define subnational
00:06:59budgetary and administrative policies. The
00:07:02day also includes voting for state legislators, local
00:07:05commissioners, judges, and prosecutors. Likewise, multiple referendums will submit
00:07:09legislative proposals with direct historical impact
00:07:12to citizen consultation.
00:07:17Nine people died after a private Learjet
00:07:2060 crashed in Palm Beach County
00:07:23in Florida, according to US Secretary of Transportation
00:07:27Shanpy Doffy. The aircraft took off from
00:07:30Austin, Texas, and was bound for the Bahamas. The
00:07:33accident occurred around 12:50 PM local
00:07:37time, causing an explosion and fire that damaged part
00:07:41of the pavement and left debris in the area. Emergency
00:07:44crews responded to the scene to control the flames and secure the
00:07:48perimeter. The Federal Aviation Administration deployed
00:07:51personnel to collaborate with the National
00:07:55the investigations that will determine the causes of the
00:07:58accident.
00:08:05Panama reported an interannual growth of
00:08:0817.2% in the export sector between
00:08:12January and September 2026. According to the
00:08:15report presented by the Ministry of Commerce and Industries, this
00:08:19rebound in external sales reflects a key dynamism in national
00:08:22production, which has boosted indirect sectors such as
00:08:26transport, services, and logistics. Official
00:08:29data divides this achievement into two main fronts:
00:08:33registered exports showed an increase of
00:08:369.0% compared to the same period in
00:08:402025, while the Panama Pacific Special
00:08:44Economic Area achieved an increase of
00:08:4643.8%. The commercial offer that the country
00:08:50provides, positioned in international markets, combines
00:08:53agricultural, industrial, and fishing
00:08:56items.
00:09:01While in other nations like Uruguay, a meager
00:09:04growth of 1.1%
00:09:07year-on-year was recorded, despite the rebound registered in September
00:09:11where external sales rose 10.3% monthly,
00:09:14global progress is stagnant due to climatic
00:09:18factors and the contraction of demand in
00:09:21strategic markets. According to reports, the South American
00:09:25nation will close 2026 with the lowest export expansion in the
00:09:29region. External sales are expected to barely reach an annual
00:09:32growth of 5%, driven
00:09:35more by the improvement in international prices than by the physical
00:09:39volume traded.
00:09:46We take our first break. When we return, more news. Stay with us.
00:10:11We are not content with the headline of the moment, nor with the

00:10:28matrix and everything that is geopolitical. Daily events that become
00:10:32so interactive. The truth moves
00:10:35us in our peoples because

00:11:12We're back with more Telesur news. Venezuela's Foreign Minister
00:11:15Oliver Blanco held a bilateral meeting with Portugal's
00:11:19Economy Minister Manuel Castro Almeida,
00:11:22accompanied by a delegation of more than 30 companies
00:11:26interested in investing in the country. Venezuela's Minister of Foreign Affairs
00:11:29detailed that under the leadership of interim president Delcy
00:11:32Rodríguez, the friendship between both countries will be strengthened
00:11:36with a diplomatic agenda aimed at boosting investments, expanding
00:11:40cooperation, and generating concrete benefits for the
00:11:43people. The Portuguese delegation is the largest
00:11:46business entourage to visit Venezuela within the framework
00:11:50of this diplomatic
00:11:50route.
00:11:56In Venezuela, the Christmas season opens the way for reunions and
00:11:59traditions. In the temporary camps in central
00:12:03Caracas, families affected by the earthquakes
00:12:06find in this celebration the strength to share,
00:12:10celebrate, and stay united. Luis Tavera tells us
00:12:13more. On the emblematic Panteón Avenue, the
00:12:17Armando Sulwaga Blanco Educational Unit now houses only
00:12:2121 of the 81 families who arrived after the earthquakes. Among
00:12:25banana leaves and under the supervision of the National Institute of
00:12:27Nutrition, community hands-on work begins the preparation
00:12:31of the traditional hallaca. The act of
00:12:34making hallacas is a family affair, that's
00:12:38why the cooks are here bringing their children, they are like giving
00:12:41love, giving and receiving love. It's a dish that is
00:12:45complete because hallaca also has its sides like salad, ham
00:12:49bread, this papelón with lemon that we are going to serve
00:12:53today, it is a quite heavy dish, quite, that provides
00:12:57many caloric contributions, that is very nutritious and that well, that
00:13:00depending on the area it comes from, that dish will vary. Nationally,
00:13:03more than 3,500 families have already received homes. With this
00:13:07progress, the guests organize a Christmas lunch full of color and
00:13:11unity for the little ones. We are starting
00:13:13Christmas for our guests, we have
00:13:17here 21 families that are still sheltered here, they are
00:13:21our guests, here we are with the boys and girls and
00:13:25that pain that is in the
00:13:28heart for the loss of family here today is dressed
00:13:31in joy, as the colleagues and the girls in the kitchen
00:13:35say, we have all participated in making the hallacas, preparing
00:13:39uh, let's say the black cake, characteristic
00:13:43of our traditional Christmas lunch and
00:13:46dinner. Keeping customs alive becomes the emotional refuge
00:13:50to face the transition to
00:13:53moment, one stops valuing the moments that are so simple
00:13:57and so common that you have daily and after that moment you realize that
00:14:01every minute counts, every minute is important, a
00:14:04call, a hug, everything, everything
00:14:07is important, there is no "later", it's for now.
00:14:10Christmas, no matter how painful it may be for
00:14:14me and other people who are currently going through a difficult
00:14:18process, is something that cannot be erased,
00:14:21especially for the children's culture because the children
00:14:25are not yet aware of what is really happening, you
00:14:28understand, and well, welcome Christmas and may we all
00:14:32have a good time. Along with new and rehabilitated houses, the Venezuela
00:14:36Renace Plan adds social credit, an 80% subsidy, and
00:14:395% financing for 25 years to buy one's own home. The three
00:14:43days we were here they gave us the option to buy,
00:14:47then they gave us what was the
00:14:50search that we have within ourselves to look for the person to
00:14:54drown later. The godparents themselves approached the house,
00:14:58they looked for it, inspected it, they were in charge of inspecting the house to make sure it wasn't in
00:15:01bad condition, that it wasn't cracked. We are
00:15:04very happy, thank God, also with the company of the
00:15:08support of the godparents who were always there at all times giving us support at
00:15:12all times, both in health, education,
00:15:15food, they were very attentive to us
00:15:18and to this day, well, we already have our house.
00:15:22With more than 20 camps already closed in the country, the families of this
00:15:25refuge show that hope and unity do not stop, turning every
00:15:29moment into a new beginning. In the camera of José Luis Briseño, Luis Tavera,
00:15:32Telesur, Caracas, Venezuela. The
00:15:35acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, welcomed
00:15:38Christmas during a tour of the Paseo de los Próceres in the city of
00:15:42Caracas. During this tour, she was accompanied by the
00:15:45mayor of the Libertador municipality of Caracas, Carmen Meléndez, the
00:15:49sectoral vice president of Communication and Culture, Miguel Ángel Pérez
00:15:53Pirela, and the head of government of the Capital District, Naum
00:15:56Fernández. The tour was carried out through a corridor of
00:15:59entrepreneurs. In addition, the event registered a significant
00:16:03influx of citizens who traveled to the monumental complex
00:16:06to enjoy the traditional lighting. The activity
00:16:10took place in order and under a large security
00:16:13deployment, with an atmosphere of peace and
00:16:15coexistence.
00:16:21Well, this year 2026,
00:16:24you know that Venezuela has been
00:16:27shaken by painful moments, but November
00:16:301st arrived and the whole country is lighting
00:16:34up for Christmas, but the most important thing, the
00:16:38hug that we are going to give, a hug of
00:16:42companionship, a hug to heal wounds,
00:16:45a hug to meet friends, family.
00:16:49Yesterday we were precisely delivering
00:16:52housing to people, families
00:16:55who lost loved ones in the seismic
00:16:58double event, and there we told them
00:17:01that this end of the year, this Christmas, is for family hugs and friend
00:17:05hugs. So I want us all to
00:17:08do the countdown
00:17:12to light the cross of Warairarepano and light
00:17:16these beautiful lights. So we begin:
00:17:19nine, eight,
00:17:22seven, six, five,
00:17:26four, three, two,
00:17:30one, and zero.
00:17:33Happy New Year to you, a Happy New Year to her, a
00:17:36Happy New Year.
00:17:38Changing topics, some 300 US military personnel are arriving
00:17:42in Colombia to conduct joint exercises, a government
00:17:46initiative that generates rejection among the Colombian population.
00:17:49The presence of US military in Colombia once again ignites
00:17:52the positions of foreign army incursions in
00:17:56the country. Many believe that it is a disguised intervention
00:17:59to position themselves in territory, thus violating
00:18:03regular channels. Colombia, with its violent actors,
00:18:06becomes the scenario for Washington to try to
00:18:09seize the resources of South American countries.
00:18:13Likewise, the White House says it is preparing against
00:18:16drug trafficking and illegal armed groups. It is expected
00:18:20that this military exchange will last approximately 15
00:18:23days; however, it is unknown if the military will
00:18:27stay or return to
00:18:28North America.
00:18:34Colombian politician Antonio Navarro Wolff, commander of the
00:18:38April 19th Movement guerrilla, passed away in Bogotá
00:18:41at 78 years of age. The Navarro family informed
00:18:44their friends, and all Colombians that Antonio Navarro Wolff
00:18:48passed away at 2:42 PM local
00:18:51time and asked for media respect at this time of deep
00:18:55commotion. In one of the first reactions, Senator Iván
00:18:58Cepeda, former presidential candidate for the Historical
00:19:01Pact, recalled his first meeting with Navarro Wolff and
00:19:04affirmed to admire and
00:19:08respect him as one of the most outstanding leaders of the
00:19:11left and progressivism in Colombia. Congresswoman
00:19:15Mafe Carrascal highlighted the deceased politician as a
00:19:18fighter for peace, justice, and democracy and
00:19:21emphasized that his life is an example of ethics and dignity
00:19:25and that he was a key figure in the constituent process of

00:19:43declared a state of emergency in Santa Cruz canton in the Galapagos
00:19:46Archipelago, after more than 15 hours
00:19:50of rainfall. The rains caused collapses in the island's
00:19:53tourist and road infrastructure, forcing the temporary
00:19:56closure of Baltra Airport and the deployment of the
00:19:59Armed Forces. Ecuadorian authorities link this
00:20:03event to the conditions of the El Niño phenomenon, maintaining
00:20:07operational search and humanitarian assistance efforts by air and
00:20:10sea.
00:20:16The Galapagos National Park Directorate temporarily
00:20:19restricted access to tourist sites in Santa Cruz and San
00:20:23Cristóbal with the aim of preventing accidents while evaluating
00:20:27safety conditions due to heavy rainfall.
00:20:31The institution explained that the decision is preventive and seeks
00:20:34to protect residents, tourists,
00:20:38of now, there is no definite date for the reopening of the
00:20:42spaces, given the climatic
00:20:44conditions.
00:20:53Ecuador exceeded 43 thousand dengue cases and
00:20:57the figure of 45 deaths until October 24,
00:21:002026. According to the Ministry of Public Health, this figure

00:21:39Ecuador.
00:21:46French police forces arbitrarily detained more
00:21:50than 560 people who were mobilizing in Paris
00:21:54against the high cost of living. The Ministry of Interior and the police
00:21:58prefecture stated that the marches proceeded without
00:22:01problems, except for some reports of clashes
00:22:05between protesters and security forces. The ministry
00:22:08denounced this event as alleged unprecedented violence by some
00:22:11groups, in which, according to reports, at least
00:22:15five police officers were injured.

00:22:26Albania has accumulated 14 consecutive days of demonstrations
00:22:29marked by police repression against the administration of Prime
00:22:32Minister Edi Rama. Days of massive marches and
00:22:36harsh clashes between citizens and security forces
00:22:39shake Tirana, the capital, and the main
00:22:43cities of the country. Albanian youth demand urgent
00:22:47solutions to the shortage of funds for universities,
00:22:50the lack of decent jobs upon finishing studies, and the
00:22:54advancement of elitist models that transform education into a
00:22:57business reserved for privileged minorities.
00:23:01Likewise, young people and residents gathered peacefully
00:23:04in front of the Ministry of Education to present administrative

00:23:59and ambulance unit evacuated two other
00:24:03victims and five injured, two of whom are in critical
00:24:06condition. These attacks occur within the framework of the ongoing
00:24:10Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, which has already left thousands

00:24:26demand the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner in a new
00:24:30protest called by the opposition bloc. The concentration,

00:24:47after a similar protest in the capital where clashes
00:24:50with the police were recorded. Opposition leader Rahul
00:24:53Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of
00:24:57manipulating the electoral process and called for the arrest
00:25:01of the country's electoral authorities. This came after
00:25:04a review of the electoral roll that removed more than
00:25:08130 million names since last year. The government and the
00:25:11election commission reject the accusations and maintain that the
00:25:15review of the register seeks solely to purge duplicate
00:25:19or ineligible entries, not
00:25:21to strip citizens
00:25:23of their rights.

00:25:32Johannesburg to celebrate the Pride Parade in South
