00:00Venezuelan authorities kicked off the so-called planned republic operation with the objective
00:17of warranting the security and protection of the presidential elections this Sunday,
00:21July 28.
00:26In Nepal, a plane carrying 19 passengers crashed during take-off, killing 18 people.
00:34And in Palestine, Tel Aviv regime troops killed at least 5 people after destroying a building
00:39in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
00:45Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur studios in Havana,
00:50Cuba.
00:51We begin with the news.
00:52Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago signed energy agreements to strengthen their cooperation.
00:58Both countries signed the Seven Agreements Act with the approval of the functional structure
01:03for the operation in the Manakin and Coiquina fields of the Deltana platform off the Venezuelan
01:10coast.
01:11The agreement establishes licenses for U.S. and European companies to join in the exploration
01:17and exploitation of gas and other hydrocarbons.
01:21The event was headed by the President Nicolás Maduro, who ratified Venezuela's own formula
01:26for development and the emerging energy cooperation in the region.
01:31International oil companies have been gradually returning to Venezuela in recent years, despite
01:36the sanctions and blockade by the U.S. government.
01:45We re-engineered our brain, our mind, our plans, and at that precise moment, we resumed
01:50negotiations with Trinidad and Tobago to look for our own formula, where these economic
02:06projects, which have an important impact on the economy of Trinidad and Tobago and of
02:11Venezuela because of the income we are going to obtain, would be viable within the framework
02:16of sovereign, independent, friendly, good neighborly relations.
02:30We are taking a monumental step in the right direction, and I would say that we are on
02:34the right side of history.
02:35The new world that is emerging belongs to us.
02:51On Wednesday, Venezuelan authorities activated the Poland Republic with the objective of
02:56warranting the security and protection of the presidential elections of this Sunday,
03:00July 28.
03:02The authorities are in charge of distributing the electoral material and maintaining control
03:06in the voting centers due to the threats of sabotage from the Venezuelan extreme right.
03:11In this regard, the President of the National Electoral Council, Elvis Amoroso, highlighted
03:16the work of the National Armed Forces in warranting the democratic process.
03:30The attacks are permanent and from here I denounce the media campaign, paid by dirty
03:34money, money from drug trafficking, money that has been stolen from you Venezuelans,
03:51the gold that has been taken from us, the Sidco oil company in the United States.
04:07Stolen from us and that money is being used by foreign media to apply a campaign of destruction
04:12against the Venezuelan people in seeking to hinder these elections.
04:18For his part, the Venezuelan Attorney General, Tarek William Saab, reaffirmed the National
04:22Electoral Council as the only body in charge of issuing the official results of the presidential
04:27elections.
04:30However, outside the law, usurps the function of the electoral power, and I warn here clearly
04:38in the middle of the high political and military command of the Venezuelan nation.
04:51Whoever usurps that function is committing a crime and must be subject to an investigation
04:56and be prosecuted and arrested.
05:06Because here there is no double standard of de facto parallel or satellite governments
05:10from abroad that usurp the powers of the Venezuelan state.
05:14At the same time, the Attorney General of Venezuela, Tarek William Saab, denounced the
05:19plans of the far-right to create violence against the Venezuelan people.
05:25Now, what this sector is proposing to Venezuela in the midst of the alibi, and it is my duty
05:32to denounce it, of the electoral moment, in a nightmarish exercise, if they triumph.
05:45Is to literally repeat as a copy what the Zionist state of Israel has done in Gaza against
05:50the Venezuelan people?
05:54In Venezuela, the presidential candidate for the great patriotic Paul Nicolás Maduro was
05:58received by the people of IaraquĂ to support his candidacy for July 28th elections.
06:04With a great mobilization, the inhabitants of the city of San Felipe expressed their
06:08support for the candidacy of the current Venezuelan president in the fight against the blockades
06:13imposed by the United States and its European allies.
06:16The candidate for the great patriotic Paul thanked the people for their support to defeat
06:21the actions of the extreme right and promised to continue working for the welfare of the
06:26nation.
06:27Maduro also reiterated his enunciation of the intentions of the Venezuelan extreme right
06:32wing to generate violence in order to come to power and steal the future of the country's
06:38youth.
06:44In this context, the presidential candidate of the great patriotic Paul Nicolás Maduro
06:49continued his tour through the state of Portuguesa as part of his presidential campaign for the
06:54elections of next July 28th.
06:57The candidate was received by a large mobilization in the city of Guararé, which ratified its
07:02support to the future governmental proposals presented by the candidate.
07:06In this sense, Maduro warned that sympathizers of the Venezuelan ultra-right wing of being
07:11used by fugitives from justice and disqualified politicians for personal benefits.
07:22Also in Venezuela, the people of the state of Anzuategui took to the streets on Wednesday
07:26as part of a mobilization in support of the presidential candidate for the great patriotic
07:30Paul Nicolás Maduro.
07:32The rally took place in El Tigre in the municipality SimĂłn RodrĂguez and was led by the first
07:38vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, Diosdado Cabello.
07:42During his speech, Cabello affirmed that the victory of this July 28th will be achieved
07:48with the organized work of all the Venezuelan people.
07:51He also recalled that the victory of candidate Nicolás Maduro will also be of the people
07:57for peace, stability and national development.
08:10A passion of people, a passion of love, a passion of revolution has been awakened throughout
08:15the national territory because on July 28th this organized people.
08:21This people know what they have to do and on July 28th the people will vote for whom?
08:34For whom?
08:35The 28th wins.
08:37The 28th wins and you know that with Nicolás the people win.
08:48You know that with Nicolás, Chávez wins.
08:51You know that with Nicolás, peace wins.
08:53You know that with Nicolás, social equality wins.
08:57You know that with Nicolás, the stability of the homeland wins.

09:22Welcome back.
09:24TELUS Sur is 19 years old and no one better than our collaborators to be able to express
09:30what the anniversary means.
09:31From Caracas, Venezuela, our special envoy Daniel Rosas brings us the details.
09:39The new television station of the South in feminine form as conceived by Commander Hugo
09:43Chávez was born on July 24th, 2005, the same day in which the Liberation SimĂłn BolĂvar
09:48was born as a story of the people with an anti-imperialist voice.
09:54What we are looking for is to give voice to the Latin American identity, our American
09:58identity, that of the global South.
10:00That is why TELUS Sur was born.
10:06TELUS Sur's sign now currently reaches 500 million users throughout Latin America, North
10:10America, 33 countries in Africa and Europe with its transmissions in Spanish and English.
10:15We are working very hard to have the kind of programming that our viewers deserve around
10:21the world, in broadcast and now also in multimedia.
10:30We are also launching information but never losing our informative style and never losing
10:34our access, our editorial line.
10:38That's why, regardless of the subject matter, TELUS Sur always presents information with
10:43an innovative approach.
10:46It can tell sports in a different way.
10:48It can give a voice to those things that not even the big international sports channels
10:52can focus on, but on the human stories behind the sport.
10:58We are a great team.
10:59We are always united, always together so that everything on the air is spectacular and always
11:04excellent.
11:06In its 19 years of life, TELUS Sur has been more than the news signal of Latin America.
11:11It has been a school and a family.
11:16Well, anecdotes always happen here.
11:20As a news channel, every moment gives you something different, a learning, a lesson.
11:29TELUS Sur is my first time on television and here I have learned everything, everything
11:34I can know and every day I always learn something new.
11:41It's like a brotherhood.
11:42There is a very special camaraderie that I have not seen elsewhere and that gives me
11:46a lot of confidence, a lot of peace of mind and also a lot of freedom.
11:53Values they carry to their everyday life.
11:57It has as a value the commitment to the workers, has always committed to the workers.
12:04I really feel that TELUS Sur is a school and it keeps me motivated every day to be here.
12:08Age is not a limiting factor and for me being in TELUS Sur means learning more every day.
12:14That's why with our network of correspondents in different parts of the world, more than
12:18a slogan, we take our responsibility very seriously.
12:21TELUS Sur always gives more.
12:35Ukraine, under the Chinese government's mediation, prepares the conditions for dialogue
12:41with Russia to ensure peace.
12:43In this regard, Foreign Minister Wang Yi reported that his Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Kuleva
12:49confirmed Kyiv's readiness to hold talks with Russia.
12:52During a bilateral meeting, Kuleva specified that the negotiations must be rational, substantial
12:58and aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace.
13:02The Ukrainian diplomat also valued as highly positive and significant the active role of
13:07China in the promotion of peace and the upholding of international order.
13:11In addition to a peace plan, both parties addressed bilateral relations.
13:24China believes that all conflicts must be settled at the negotiating table and all disputes
13:29should be resolved by political means.
13:32Recently, both Ukraine and Russia have shown their readiness for negotiation.
13:36Meanwhile, after the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleva announced his readiness to establish
13:41a dialogue with Russia, the Kremlin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said,
13:46this is certainly better than Kyiv's statements to exclude any contact with the Russian side
13:52and we will have to wait for concrete actions to judge what the Ukrainian side's intentions are.
13:58Of course, to speak about dialogue in one or another tone is much better than to speak about
14:04the intention to fight to the last Ukrainian.
14:11Laos is getting ready for the 57th Foreign Minister's Meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations,
14:19which will be held in the country's capital, Vientiane, from Thursday to Saturday.

14:30will be addressing crucial affairs such as increasing cooperation in innovative technological projects,
14:36the ethnic conflict in Myanmar and the disputed South China Sea.
14:41The latter is in relation to the maritime claims of China, Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam
14:47and Indonesia over the sea to the south of China and several islands within and nearby.
14:53The participating foreign ministers are expected to issue a joint statement on the issue after their talks on Thursday.
15:05On Wednesday, a plane carrying 19 passengers crashed in Nepal, killing 18 people and leaving the pilot as the only survivor.
15:13In this regard, authorities confirmed the accident occurred when the state-owned plane veered off the runway
15:20and crashed while trying to take off from Kathmandu International Airport.
15:25In the meantime, authorities reported they had recovered the 18 bodies from the scene
15:30while the sole survivor was hospitalized with minor eye injuries.
15:34The causes for the accident of the plane that was bound for the city of Pokhara,

15:56Red Cross sources indicated that the migrants, who are from sub-Saharan origin, were on board a cayuco or open boat.
16:04The sighting was made by a vessel traveling from Portugal to Nigeria.
16:08After arriving at the ArreguinĂ dock, seven of them were referred with serious pathologies to various hospitals.
16:15The Border and Coast Guard reported that in 2024,

17:14In Palestine, Tel Aviv regime troops killed at least five people after destroying a building in the Nusayrat refugee camp.
17:22During these attacks, five civilians were killed immediately and another was transferred to a medical center with multiple wounds.
17:29Israeli regime aircraft bombed several buildings in the Al Har area in the northern Gaza Strip.
17:35United Nations stated that 150,000 people were displaced from Cajunes after the occupation ordered citizens to evacuate.
17:44It is worth mentioning that the regime continues its military incursions against the territories of Rafah Governorate.
17:55In Palestine, at least 11 people were killed by the Israeli army in assaults on the occupied West Bank during the last 24 hours.
18:03In descents on Wednesday, a 16-year-old teenager was killed after being shot during clashes with Israeli soldiers in Qalandia refugee camp north of Jerusalem.
18:13On the other hand, a large contingent of vehicles of the occupation army also stormed family residences as part of their policy of collective punishment of the Palestinian population.
18:24Meanwhile, six people were reported wounded by bullets and two by beatings by Israeli soldiers,
18:30while the rest of the death occurred during assaults in the localities of Tubas and Tulkarem.
18:42On Wednesday, relatives mourned the death of Abd al-Nasir Sarhan, 23, who was killed by the occupation army during a raid in Tubas in the northern West Bank.
18:53In this sense, local media pointed out that the young man was a customs officer and was shot by Israeli troops while on duty without posing any threat.
19:02It should be noted that 589 Palestinians, including 142 children, have been killed by Israel since the beginning of the genocidal war in Gaza on October 7 amidst the intensified incursions in the occupied West Bank.
19:24Parallel to the attacks of the occupation army, Israeli settlers intensified their attacks against the Palestinian population in the occupied West Bank.
19:32In this way, on Wednesday night, a group of extremist settlers set fire to homes and vehicles in the town of Huwara south of Nablus.
19:40In the meantime, local media denounced that the escalation of attacks comes just days after the International Court of Justice ruled as illegal Israel's decades-long occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
19:54On Wednesday, the media office of the Gaza government said the Israeli occupation forces have killed 16,000 children in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the aggressions on October 7.
20:07In this regard, an official statement also stressed that as the death toll is close to 40,000 in Gaza, a total of 34 children have died due to malnutrition, while 17,000 others live without one or both parents.
20:23In this context, the U.S. Jewish doctor Mark Perlmutter declared on Sunday during his return to the United States that Israeli snipers deliberately set fire on Palestinian children.
20:35Definitely. I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest I couldn't put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately, and directly on the side of the head in the same child.
20:54No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the world's best sniper. And they're dead.
21:01In the United States, at least 200 demonstrators were arrested during protests against the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the country.
21:09The protest was coordinated by several groups that defend human rights and reject the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian territories.
21:17Capitol Police detained some 200 activists near the House of Representatives office building in Washington.
21:24Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he would hold talks with the Israeli premier in coming days.
21:31It should be noted that the United States is the leading sponsor of military equipment and ammunition to the Israeli regime.
21:54On Wednesday, the French government confirmed that the opening of the Olympic Games will be held on the Seine River.
22:00In this regard, President Emmanuel Macron said that the security checks had been carried out after a month of hard work.
22:07Furthermore, he assured that the scene planned for the opening ceremony would be maintained, where more than 200 participating delegations will parade along the river waters aboard barges in the presence of more than 300,000 spectators.
22:21For their part, the French authorities confirmed they have activated the anti-terrorist perimeter, restricting access to the ceremony area.
22:37In other notes related to the Paris 2024 Games, the Palestinian Olympic Committee and the Palestinian Football Association demanded the exclusion of Israel from the Paris 2024 Games
22:49due to the crimes committed by the country, especially in the Gaza Strip.
22:53Let us recall that Palestine, through a letter sent to the president of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Beck,
22:59and to the head of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, denounced the Israeli violation of the observance of the Olympic truce for the Paris 2024 multi-sport event.
