00:03 That's a strip for a single day.
00:09 And in the last few days, it has been doing so around the clock.
00:14 In this context, the death toll surpassed the 35,200 mark
00:19 without counting all those buried under the rubble.
00:22 The government of Spain denying entry
00:28 into its territorial waters to a Danish flag
00:32 based on Korean art and bound for Israel.

00:56 Hello, welcome to From the South.
01:03 I'm Ana Marrero from the TeleSUR headquarters
01:05 in Caracas, Venezuela.
01:06 We'll be with the news.
01:07 Stay with us.

01:15 Israel has now ceased its bombing of the Gaza Strip,
01:28 where the armed forces have already
01:30 killed more than 35,200 people, not counting the bodies still
01:35 under the rubble.
01:36 The most recent attack have been perpetrated
01:38 against the Nusra Refugee Camp in the center
01:41 of the Palestinian enclave.
01:43 The occupied armed forces also destroyed the school of Al-Jouni,
01:47 where hundreds of displaced people
01:49 were sheltered with health authorities
01:51 of the enclave confirming at least four children died.
01:54 In the last 12 hours, the rescue and civil defense brigades
01:59 also reported destruction of 50 Palestinian homes, all of them
02:03 occupied.
02:05 [AUDIO OUT]
02:08 The United Nations Relief and Work Agency
02:13 for Palestine Refugees denounced the forced displacement
02:17 of more than 630,000 Palestinians from Rafa
02:21 due to the Israeli attacks.
02:24 The international organization expressed
02:26 that these imposed displacement hasn't stopped since last
02:31 October 7, 2023, when the Zionist state
02:34 began its genocidal offensive against the Gaza Strip.
02:37 In this context, the agency added
02:39 that the city of Deir al-Bala is the main refuge
02:42 for the Palestinians fleeing from Rafa in search of safety.
02:46 On the other hand, in the last 24 hours,
02:54 Israel has committed four new massacres
02:57 against Palestinian families in the Gaza Strip.
03:00 The Zionist occupation attack have left at least 31 civilians
03:04 killed and 56 injured.
03:06 Doctors and rescuers report that there are still
03:09 people under the rubble of buildings
03:11 and others scattered on the roads by the bombardments.
03:15 The number of journalists killed by the Israeli army
03:26 in the Gaza Strip has risen to 147,
03:29 according to the Gaza government office.
03:32 The media workers killed by the Israeli in recent days
03:36 are Hail al-Najjar, editor of Al-Qasad Media Network;
03:40 Mohammad Janjouf, who is a journalist for the Palestine
03:44 Post website; and Muhtas Mustafa al-Ghaffri
03:48 of the Palestinian Media Corporation.
03:51 The regime in Tel Aviv is trying to repress the exposure
03:55 of its actions against the Gaza Strip
03:57 and is attacking the media such as Al-Jazeera, Palestine TV,
04:01 and a main news agency, Al-Quds and Al-Yaman.
04:06 News agencies have also been victims
04:08 of the Zionist aggression.
04:09 The Union of Palestinian Journalists
04:12 criticized the silence of the International Criminal Court
04:15 in the face of the Israeli aggressions.
04:17 On Friday, the Spanish government
04:26 denied entry into its territorial waters
04:28 to the Danish flag ship, Mariana Danikard,
04:32 which has carried carrying arms to Israel.
04:36 In this sense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
04:39 prevents the ship from making a docking in Cartagena.
04:43 Previously, Spanish social activists
04:46 request similar measures from the cargo ships working,
04:50 but the public prosecutor's office
04:52 rejected the request because the cargo was designated
04:56 for the Czech Republic.
04:58 I have publicly announced on many occasions,
05:07 including in Congress and in the Senate, on behalf of Spain,
05:10 our decision not to agree to any new licenses for the export
05:14 of war material to Israel.
05:16 And this decision we have taken to reject this ship
05:18 is consistent and follows the same line.
05:21 On Thursday, 13 foreign ministers
05:25 from different countries signed a request for Israel
05:28 to stop the ground invasion of Rafa.
05:31 In this sense, a German media reported
05:34 that the joint document signed by the foreign ministers
05:37 of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Japan, Canada,
05:41 and others, calling the head of the Zionist diplomacy Israel
05:44 to ask the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
05:48 to alleviate the devastating humanitarian crisis in Gaza
05:52 and to open all the border crossing, including Rafa.
05:56 It is worth highlighting that neither the document
05:59 nor the request was followed by the United States.

06:21 Welcome back to From the South.
06:35 President of Russia Vladimir Putin
06:37 held a press conference in Harbin City, China,
06:40 within the framework of the Russia-China Forum
06:43 on Interregional Cooperation.
06:45 There, he referred to the conflict with Ukraine.
06:49 Russian head of state closed his first international visit
06:51 on Friday after his opening on May 7.
06:55 Putin expressed the importance of the agreements
06:59 expressed in the extraordinary joint declaration
07:02 with President Xi Jinping, in which they made clear
07:05 that the status and strength of main emerging
07:08 countries and regions of the global south
07:11 and their concerns of surges.
07:14 The Russian leader, Dmitry Putin,
07:15 referred this desire and willingness
07:18 to reach an early exit of the conflict with Ukraine,
07:21 noting that his soldiers are winning every day
07:24 and that the operation in Krakow are proceeding strictly
07:28 according to the plan.
07:29 What is happening now is that the current authorities
07:40 in Kiev have their origin in the coup d'etat.
07:44 This is the region of the current Ukrainian authorities.
07:47 By allowing this coup d'etat, by having favoured and helped
07:51 in this coup d'etat, they created the conditions
07:54 to turn a latent conflict into a real conflict.
07:58 President Putin also referred to the illegality of the sanctions
08:05 that the United States imposed with impunity
08:07 on sovereign countries.
08:11 Sanctions against third countries
08:13 are twice illegitimate, because if they
08:17 are accepted without the permission of the United
08:20 Nations, they are already illegitimate.
08:24 And when they are made against other countries,
08:26 the third part is already something extraordinary.
08:30 It's the United States or European countries
08:33 that take these sanctions even against their own allies.
08:39 French Interior Minister Gerald Dermanin
08:42 confirmed on Friday that police shot
08:44 at men dead who tried to burn down the synagogue in the north
08:50 of the country.
08:50 According to the minister, the incident
08:52 took place in the city of Rhone, the capital of the Normandy
08:56 region, as the attacker clearly wanted to destroy the temple.
08:59 For his part, the mayor of the city, Nicolas Meir,
09:02 the state suspect, climbed the wall of the religious building
09:07 and threw an incendiary device similar to a Molotov cocktail
09:11 bomb.
09:12 I have publicly announced on many occasions,
09:21 including in Congress and in the Senate, on behalf of Spain,
09:24 our decision not to agree to any new licenses for the export
09:28 of war material to Israel.
09:29 And this decision we have taken to reject this ship
09:32 is consistent and follows the same line.
09:36 Brazilian journalist Patricia de Oliveira Sousa
09:40 revealed Venezuela's fire.
09:42 Later, Maria Corina Machado received $3.2 million
09:46 from the US lobbyists under an agreement
09:48 to hand over Perveza to Chevron if she won the elections.
09:54 In an interview to a Venezuelan outlet,
09:56 de Oliveira Sousa provided Corina Machado and Juan Guaidó
10:00 who were getting links with the political allies of the war
10:05 to export wholly new US company to subjugate Venezuela.
10:10 The extreme right got cashed by the Edison Foundation
10:14 to lead a campaign and smear work on social media.
10:17 Maria Corina needed money for her political campaign,
10:31 so the United States government got together
10:33 to give money to Maria Corina.
10:37 In this sense, Maria Corina was willing to negotiate
10:40 for Venezuelan oil, which the North American politicians
10:44 want so much from Venezuela.
10:45 Patricia de Oliveira Sousa revealed
10:51 that the negotiations between Maria Corina and the United
10:54 States reached $3 million.
11:02 I am sure that I saw that the campaign of Corina Machado
11:04 received money from the United States
11:06 in the amount of $3 million.
11:08 But I am also sure that they also paid Juan Guaidó.
11:13 When the negotiation of Guaidó took place,
11:17 I began to work for that office in 2021,
11:20 and that is the reason that I do not
11:21 have a figure with certainty of how much Guaidó received.
11:26 But for Maria Corina, I am sure that it
11:28 was an amount of $3 million.
11:33 And in Haiti, students returned to school in the capital
11:36 province after more than two months without classes.
11:39 The escalating tensions of violence
11:42 caused by criminal groups in the city
11:44 kept around 200,000 students away
11:47 from classrooms, which can cause confrontations
11:50 and multiple criminal acts being committed in school spaces.
11:54 This context, in the beginning of the week
11:57 and in a gradual manner, the neighborhoods of Dalmas
12:01 and Bishanville, among others, have
12:03 allowed students and teachers to return to the facilities.
12:06 On Thursday night, another local candidate
12:16 was murdered in the south of Mexico.
12:18 The victim, 28-year-old Lucero López Maza,
12:21 was running for mayor of La Concordia municipality
12:25 in the state of Chiapas.
12:26 In the incident that took place at a gas station
12:29 in the community, five other people
12:31 were murdered and at least two were still injured.
12:33 López Maza, who represents the Chiapaneco Popular Party,
12:38 was the daughter of Ataulfo López,
12:41 whom an organized crime group attacked a few weeks ago,
12:44 murdering several office workers and burning vehicles.
12:48 These events took place hours before President Andrés Manuel
12:50 López Obrador and his Guatemalan counterpart,
12:53 Bernardo Arello, were to hold a summit meeting in the state
12:57 to discuss issues related to migration.

13:25 Welcome back.
13:37 Permeas President Laurentino Cortizo
13:38 will leave the government on June 30
13:42 with a trail of problems that hit a premium people,
13:44 especially the most vulnerable population.
13:47 How do the people see his legacy?
13:49 We'll tell you.
13:51 The Cortizo government increased the debt by 87%
13:57 in just five years.
13:59 When Cortizo assumed the presidency in mid-2019,
14:02 the country owned $24,000 million,
14:05 and now it has swore to more than $50,000 million.
14:09 The high foreign debt, why?
14:17 Because the higher the foreign debt,
14:18 the harder the conditions imposed by the international financial
14:21 organizations, and this has a direct impact
14:24 on the country's finances.
14:25 The PRG administration raised the Panamanian debt
14:35 from 30% of the GDP to 60%.
14:37 Most of that debt is placed in bonds in US banks,
14:41 20 out of every $100 of the US state budget
14:44 is spent on debt service alone.
14:48 High indebtedness, corruption, which we cannot deny
14:55 that we also had, high inequality, all of this
14:57 has contributed a lot to high inequality,
15:00 to the point that Panama went from fifth or sixth place
15:03 to fourth.
15:04 What is this in terms of world inequality?
15:06 That is a terrible legacy for this society.
15:08 On the other hand, Cortizo began his mandate
15:16 to make protests, like those of 2018 against failed electoral
15:19 reforms designed by businessmen.
15:21 These continued throughout his mandate
15:23 for various cases of corruption, the high cost of living,
15:26 and extrativism.
15:27 This is a government that unfortunately developed
15:36 in its last phase what we can call a policy of bill passing.
15:40 Because the social movement showed an organization
15:50 and tenacity of struggle that was expressed
16:00 in the last two years, in 2022 and in October 2023
16:05 against the mining project.
16:10 Analysts agree that the reading of the past elections
16:13 also includes a general phase of this protest that
16:16 led to a punishment vote.
16:18 The majority of the popular vote, the most impoverished,
16:24 those who felt the brunt of the effects of the pandemic,
16:29 of the disaster of how the pandemic was handled
16:31 in Panama, which led to the unemployment of hundreds
16:34 of thousands of people and the bankruptcy of thousands
16:36 of businesses.
16:37 Small businesses, those people, their main problem,
16:43 and the polls showed this, was not corruption,
16:46 it was unemployment.
16:47 The government transition begins on June 3
16:55 in preparation for D-Day, which is July 1,
16:57 when Cortizo leaves the Palacio de las Carzas.
17:00 And now, shifting topics, in football news, on Friday,
17:14 Brazil was elected as the host country of the Women's World
17:18 Cup 2027, precisely after the Congress in Thailand and FIFA
17:22 announced the host city for the 10th edition of the Women's
17:26 World Cup.
17:27 For the first time, the Confederation of Congress
17:30 held an open vote with the nation winning,
17:32 with 119 votes in favor, ahead of the joint being
17:36 from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany.
17:40 Brazil would thus be the first country in South America
17:43 to host the tournament.
17:45 Regarding the event, FIFA said that the exact dates
17:47 will be announced in due course.
17:49 The Asian Confederation of Football
17:58 reinforced its support for the Palestinian Football
18:01 Association and the Israeli war on Gaza.
18:05 During the 34th Asian Football Conference,
18:08 the Confederation of Congress at the body's president,
18:12 Samal bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, reaffirmed
18:15 his unwavering commitment to the Palestinian Association
18:20 in the face of the systematic Israeli violations.
18:23 In this sense, Al Khalifa noted that it is his duty
18:26 to support the Federation and that they
18:29 want a swift and effective resolution to the situation
18:32 in accordance with the rules, regulations, and attitudes
18:37 of both the Confederation and the FIFA.
18:39 And the Ethiopian Athletic Federation
18:48 announced the official list of athletes
18:51 competing in the Olympic marathon in Paris,
18:54 led by world record holder, he is
18:57 Azefa and three times Olympic champion, Kenenisa Bekele.
19:02 Azefa will lead the women's team with a world record
19:06 time of two hours, 11 minutes, and 53 seconds,
19:11 achieving Berlin 2023 marathon.
19:13 At 27 years of age, the Paris Games
19:18 will mark the athlete's Olympic debut.
19:21 For his part, Bekele, who is recognized as one of the best
19:26 runner in history, is returning to the Games
19:29 for the first time since 2012, qualifying
19:33 after his excellence reigns in the last London
19:36 marathon on April 2021, when he finished second
19:40 and stopped the clock in two hours, four minutes,
19:43 and 15 seconds.
19:44 [AUDIO PLAYBACK]
19:47 And now in culture, the Ministry of Culture and Friends
19:57 returned two paintings from Nazi to their rightful owners.
20:03 Recent research has revealed that art dealer and rightful
20:07 owner, Georgi Erdman, was forced to flee from Paris
20:13 in March 1941 to escape an Ismaili girl persecution.
20:18 To finance his escape and secure his livelihood,
20:21 he had to sell several paintings, among them
20:24 a Renoir de Anna, his latest since this work,
20:28 so where the brought by a German art dealer,
20:31 the Hussein to Germany, where they
20:33 were found after the war.
