00:45 Hello, welcome to "From the South."

01:04 In Argentina, the government
01:06 of Javier Millet announced the elimination
01:08 of the Undersecretariat of Protection
01:10 against Gender Violence as part of its cuts
01:13 on state departments.
01:15 The executive ordered that they measure on Thursday
01:18 that again an overlap in our functions for the same task.
01:23 It was the last remaining agency of the Foreign Ministry of Women,
01:27 Gender and Diversities which Millet closed
01:30 after assuming the presidency on December the 10th last year.
01:34 The office employee about 800 people who accompanied
01:38 and protect the victims of gender-based violence as well
01:43 as the violent actions for the reparations

01:58 of the Foreign Ministry of Women to repudiate the decision.
02:02 In an official statement,
02:04 they emphasized that this fact represents a huge setback not
02:08 only for the feminist and diversity movement but also
02:11 for the institutionality of gender in our country,
02:15 living it for the first time since 1992
02:19 without an agency responsible for the implementation
02:23 of public policies that promote a life free of violence
02:27 without discrimination and in pursuit of equality.

02:36 On Thursday, Uruguayans bid farewell
02:38 to the communist militias Amelias and Jurujo
02:42 who won a missing during dictatorship period
02:45 from 1973 to 1985.
02:48 Her body was found last year
02:50 but experts could only confirm her identity on May 28, 2024.
02:54 At the University of the Republic in Montevideo,
02:57 the mothers and relatives of the detained
03:00 and disappeared associations,
03:02 Families had also alongside hundreds of people,
03:06 someone operated to the--
03:09 [ Inaudible Remark ]
03:39 >> For those of us who were born during the Uruguayan
03:41 dictatorship, it means many things.
03:43 It means being aware that there were people before us who fought
03:46 for a country with more solidarity, more justice.
03:49 Unfortunately, fascism ended their lives
03:52 but 50 years later we can say goodbye to their remains.
03:55 It is something touching for everyone.
03:57 [ Foreign Language ]
03:58 >> It is necessary for the country itself to look
04:02 for the missing people and those culprits speak
04:04 out because the people needs.
04:07 Relatives need somewhere to leave a little flower
04:09 and to know that they have found them.
04:11 It cannot be they are still missing.
04:14 All they need is to bring a closure.
04:17 >> And the government of Honduras considered the
04:18 education is a paved road paved for the reformation
04:23 of the country.
04:24 Hence, in 2024, the increase of the budget for this area
04:29 by 6% which in consensus with the main actors, teachers
04:33 or correspondent Vilma Saituno provides us
04:36 for their details.
04:38 >> Honduran teachers assure
04:40 that the current government has created a suitable environment
04:43 for understanding in situations that allow great proposals
04:47 to be made in favor of the country's education.
04:50 >> Honduras is going through a better moment with the government
04:54 of President Xiomara Castro Zelaya with the Minister
04:56 of Education Daniel Esponda as we can repair.
05:00 Likewise, teachers continue
05:02 to propose the minister creating more textbooks
05:05 since earlier there were not.
05:08 But now we have them.
05:09 But we need to update more textbooks now.
05:12 Little by little, we are updating the curriculum.
05:15 This is the proposal of teachers.
05:17 Obviously, the Ministry of Education is willing
05:19 to continue providing us with those texts.
05:22 Thus, it's for us ministry to sit around the table
05:26 to conduct and work on the same domestic issues.
05:29 Currently, we are talking about an educational project
05:32 for the refoundation of Honduras.
05:34 The refoundation of this educational matter.
05:37 That's the main basis for this government
05:39 of democratic socialism in the 21st century.
05:43 >> Experts in education recognize
05:47 that the administration of Xiomara Castro has a strong
05:50 interest in improving the conditions of thousands
05:52 of students at all levels,
05:54 providing the basics for quality education.
05:57 >> However, in this government of President Xiomara,
06:01 we have seen improvement in different educational policies,
06:05 such as the school snack, the issue of school fission.
06:08 The president even increased the budget, which is not enough yet.
06:11 Now, with standing, there are positive message
06:14 for Honduras' education to begin to improve.
06:16 But the main problem is Honduras is not a curriculum issue,
06:19 but the structural exclusion that exists due to poverty
06:23 and the low levels of learning in the country.
06:26 Nonetheless, through the curriculum issue,
06:28 a curriculum transformation can be made so that the quality
06:30 of education improves.
06:33 >> Teachers work hand in hand with the refoundation of plan
06:38 as they claim that the dictatorship's administration
06:40 destroyed the educational curriculum,
06:43 which allowed the quality of education to be lowered.
06:47 >> There is an urgent need for doing something now,
06:51 a curriculum adjustment.
06:52 We have a basic national curriculum,
06:54 which has lowered the quality of education.
06:57 The curriculum itself appears to be the best,
06:59 but practice fully proves to be the opposite.
07:03 For instance, the curriculum of technical institute was too low
07:06 for them as their level was equal
07:08 to basic education centers, which is totally incorrect,
07:12 questionable, reprehensible.
07:13 And when teacher of those technical institutes wanted
07:16 to apply the previous curriculum,
07:18 what we had was repression.
07:20 Hence, we have to boost the quality of education hand
07:24 in hand with teachers raising awareness among parents
07:27 so that we have new citizens for the next few decades.
07:31 That's what the country needs in terms of technological advance
07:34 and need a new global contest.
07:37 >> Honduras is currently developing a refoundation plan
07:41 in the education sector, which has three pilars,
07:44 including to enable young people reaching their full potential
07:49 and create a system that eradicates poverty
07:52 and inequality by building up a social democracy.

12:54 >> Welcome back.
12:55 In Russia, the third day of the International Economic Forum
12:58 in St. Petersburg is taking place
13:00 where President Vladimir Putin participates in the analysis
13:03 of world events and their impact.
13:06 The Russian president highlighted state of trade relations
13:08 in the world as well as the development
13:10 of technological transformation.
13:13 Putin highlighted constant change
13:15 in the financial, transport and military sectors.
13:18 Additionally, he emphasized Russia's trade potential despite
13:21 the obstacles and sanctions
13:23 that have been illegally imposed on his country.
13:26 [ Background Sounds ]
13:31 >> Our goal is to turn into the world's fourth largest economy.
13:37 The World Bank added estimations last week
13:40 in which it positioned Russia
13:41 on the fourth place ahead of Japan.
13:45 We occupy now at this point the fourth position in terms of GDP
13:49 but it's not about calculations.
13:51 We officially obtained the fourth place
13:54 but we are very close to Japan and Germany.
13:56 We are ahead them but with a very slight difference.
14:01 So we need to increase the gap between Russia
14:03 and those countries.
14:05 Our primary task is to consolidate our leadership
14:09 to ensure very high pace regarding the quality of growth
14:12 and development in the long term.
14:14 [ Background Sounds ]
14:18 >> Vice President Putin stated he will include the breakthrough
14:23 of digital update in the new economic project.
14:26 [ Background Sounds ]
14:28 >> Structural change stems from the digital revolution
14:31 and platforms that are actually trustworthy.
14:34 In this case, it's about introducing more digitalization
14:37 based on artificial intelligence and until 2030,
14:40 we'll set digital platforms
14:41 in all key economic and social sectors.
14:45 In addition, this is related
14:47 to the new national project dedicated to the data economy.
14:50 In the upcoming six years, no less than 80%
14:55 of the key economy organizations must switch
14:57 to domestically developed software in their production
14:59 and management processes.
15:03 In this case, we see the possibility
15:05 to leave the profit tax for IT companies at 5%
15:08 to be effective until 2030.
15:10 [ Background Sounds ]
15:14 >> For his part, I believe President Luis Arce told the
15:17 International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg
15:20 that today economies has broken the hegemony
15:22 of the United States.
15:24 [ Background Sounds ]
15:26 >> The economies gathered
15:30 in this successful block have broken the hegemony
15:33 of the United States and cooperation
15:37 and complementarity among countries are emerging
15:40 as a hope for development.
15:44 As we know, today's world is a reflection
15:48 of the multidimensional crisis of the capitalist system
15:51 which has manifested itself in at least seven crises.
15:56 >> In this way, Arce was a stress
15:58 that Bolivia economic model has been improved
16:00 to reduce poverty and inequality.
16:03 >> The productive social community economic model has
16:08 demonstrated its capacity to reduce poverty
16:12 and inequality levels thanks to its distributive policies
16:16 and the maintenance of price stability.
16:20 When the rest of the world was experiencing a highly
16:23 inflationary and recessionary period.
16:25 >> And at least 40 people were killed and so dying
16:29 and following an attack by paramilitary group.
16:32 The Caribbean resistant community denounced
16:34 that the aggression was carried out by the quick support force
16:38 and left more than 50 wounded.
16:40 The community added that most of the victims were transferred
16:43 to the University Hospital all know.
16:46 Previously, in a similar event in the center of the country
16:49 and a regular group killed 104 people among them children.
16:54 [ Noise ]
17:10 >> And the shifting topics on Thursday,
17:13 Brazil and Brazil are losing national [inaudible]
17:14 for the first time areas affected by the floods
17:17 in the state of Rio Grande do Sol that have caused 172 deaths.
17:21 In this sense, the Brazilian leader announced
17:24 that the government will pay the minimum wage of about $271
17:28 for a period of two months to about 434,000 employees
17:33 of the companies unable to recover their operations.
17:36 Otherwise, Lula also added
17:37 that his administration will provide a package of economic aid
17:41 and the resolving the emergency
17:44 and will provide financial system.
17:46 On the other hand, Lula assured his government will work hard
17:49 on a plan to rebuild all housing
17:51 and infrastructure in safer areas to avoid events like this.
17:56 [ Noise ]
18:01 >> Now, plans the company launched a new PX
18:04 about engineering the plan able
18:06 to purify injured air at unprecedented scale.
18:10 So far, it does in the US market,
18:12 but in the near future, the company is planning
18:15 to expand to Europe.
18:16 Let's see for the details.
18:19 >> Neo PX plans belong to the Queen Marva variety.
18:23 So they are regular photo plans which can be done in sleek pots.
18:26 Its uniqueness lies in bioengineering microorganisms
18:30 alias power drops that capture, transform
18:33 and recycle harmful indoor pollutants into useful matter.
18:37 CEO of Neo Plans company,
18:39 Leonel Mora further explained their benefits.
18:42 >> So Neo Plans is the first company in the world
18:45 to build bioengineered plant microbiome systems able
18:49 to purify the air in your home.
18:51 So our first product, Neo PX, is equivalent to up
18:54 to 30 regular houseplants in terms of air purification.
18:57 And you can put it in your home and it will not only capture
19:01 but also remove and recycle some
19:04 of the most harmful pollutants you can find indoors.
19:08 >> Right after Neo PX launch, different criteria arose
19:12 on the internet regarding its expensive price
19:14 and effectiveness in addition to sharing experience
19:17 on keeping alive the plant.
19:19 Let us listen to a few of them.
19:22 [ Sound Effects ]
19:24 >> Because I'm not sure your pricing makes that practical.
19:27 At all, at all.
19:29 It's like hundreds of dollars for that, for one room.
19:32 Also as well, just looking at one
19:34 of these tables showing that effectiveness,
19:36 I actually think it's really sus that you are taking plants here
19:40 that have so little output on purification.
19:43 >> Patrick Tobey, co-founder of Neo Plants,
19:47 a startup, delved into how PX plant works.
19:50 In addition, he points out that the company knuckles
19:53 down to diffuse global warming by green projects like this one.
19:57 >> The bacteria and cells will absorb volatile organic compounds
20:02 using benzene for example as a source of carbon to grow
20:05 and reproduce quite simple.
20:07 The plant is there to create this ecosystem,
20:10 this ecological nature for the bacteria.
20:12 So we have a system of symbiosis between plants and bacteria
20:15 which means that the bacteria are happy and able
20:18 to absorb this air pollutants.
20:21 [ Sound Effects ]
20:23 >> With standing high positive impact on the environment,
20:27 the US is so far the only market target for Neo Plants.
20:32 The company is planning to expand
20:33 to Europe including France in a year.
20:36 Hence, it still has a long way to go to make a real difference
20:40 as new PX is needed in the rest of the world as well.
20:43 >> We have started marketing in the United States
20:47 because it is a bigger, more major market
20:49 and about our regulation is much simpler and more scientific.
20:53 We know exactly how to respond to regulators
20:55 and what they expect.
20:57 We are very transparent with them.
20:59 Whereas in Europe and France, it is a little more complicated
21:02 to work with regulators who are a little less scientific,
21:05 a little more political.
21:06 So the processes take a little longer.
21:09 We are in the process of starting them in France
21:12 and later in Europe.
21:13 We hope to be able to sell our products here
21:16 as early as next year.
21:18 >> Nowadays, humanity faces growing wildfires,
21:23 droughts and floods every day.
21:25 So Neo PX Plant turns out to be an innovative solution
21:30 which comes at the right time.
21:31 However, economic profits and bureaucracy stand in the way
21:35 of expansion to other bigger polluters.
21:38 Countries as Bangladesh, Ghana, Mexico, just to mention some.
21:44 >> We have come to the end of this news brief,
21:46 but you can find this and many other stories
21:48 on our website at telesudioenglish.net.
