00:00In Venezuela, citizens rallied in support of peace and President Nicolás Maduro's electoral
00:14victory in the elections of July 28.
00:17In Palestine, the Ministry of Health in Gaza denounced that during the last 24 hours, the
00:22Israeli Occupation Army killed at least 33 civilians, while 118 were injured.
00:30The Pan American Health Organization issued an epidemiological order to prevent, observe
00:34and diagnose the Oropusha virus as cases continue to increase.
00:39Hello, welcome from the south, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from the Lesus Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:47We begin with the news.
00:48In Venezuela, massive mobilization packed the streets of Caracas to show the world that
00:52the Venezuelan people took a strong stance in defense of peace and the victory of President
00:56Nicolás Maduro.
00:57Our correspondent Gladys Quesada with the details.
01:01The Venezuelan people took to the streets this Saturday afternoon, not with violence
01:07or hostility, but with peace, music and slogans to defend the victory of elected President
01:14Nicolás Maduro Moros, who won in the elections last Sunday.
01:19We are going to the streets to defend our homeland, our sovereignty, our independence
01:24and to back Nicolás Maduro.
01:26And the Yankees can't forget because we are defending our sovereignty.
01:31Long live the homeland, long live Venezuela, long live Nicolás Maduro.
01:34The march at Engis also demanded justice after the terrorist actions and violence outbreaks
01:40in the nation prompted by the radical extremist right-wing groups, which resulted in over
01:471,000 detentions.
01:49The rioters provoked terror under the excuse of contesting the electoral results of the
01:55July 28th polls.
01:56Also, the intellectual authors of these actions must face the law according to Venezuelan
02:03people.
02:04The Venezuelan justice is going to act to capture all of the intellectual authors calling
02:09to the violence, where have been death, when it's been destroyed medical facilities, when
02:14schools have been destroyed.
02:15They're going to pay, Maria Corina, you're going to pay.
02:18You're going to pay for every crime that you committed.
02:21And you're always shielding under the gringos, but that's over.
02:25That's your turn.
02:26Miss Maria Corina, stop the violence.
02:29Your children are in the United States and you're putting issues and crisis and crime
02:35to the young people of our homeland.
02:37You can search for your kids and put them in the front, your sons in the United States.
02:43This crowd is also outraged by the interference of the United States, the European Union,
02:49international organizations, and an insignificant group of Latin American countries and demands
02:56respect for them.
02:58They reject any interference in the country.
03:01I am against those countries that are not recognizing our sovereignty, our will, and
03:07they're recognizing in a way very responsible the results that are presented by Maria Corina
03:14Machado and Mundo González.
03:17Throughout this week, different social forces in the country have taken to the streets to
03:21reaffirm solid support for President Nicolás Maduro Moros and to warn the world that they
03:28are willing to enforce their decision at the ballot box and to reject the attempted coup
03:34by the ultra-right extremists.
03:38For TELUS Sur English, Gladys Quezada, Caracas, Venezuela.
03:41In the context of the large rallies in support of peace, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro
03:46said that security forces in perfect civil military union thwarted the far-right's destabilization
03:51plans.
03:52But in 48 hours, with the capability of responsive reaction of the civil and military and police
04:02forces union, we solve it with the constitution and peace.
04:06The face is outbreak.
04:08We have 2,000 prisoners captured and they're going to the maximum penalties, justice.
04:21This time, it won't be forgiveness upon them.
04:27This time, forgiveness is not available.
04:33President Maduro also indicated that whenever he is summoned, he will be there ready to
04:36collaborate in everything.
04:41Every time that I'm summoned here, I will be here.
04:44And the day that you require 100% of the TELUS sheets, of our witness and electoral tables,
04:53we are ready, the great patriotic poll and the PSUV, to consign the 100% of the legal
05:00TELUS sheets that we got from our witness in every table of the country.
05:10The head of state also emphasized that unity of the people is fundamental in defeating
05:14the destabilizing actions of the far-right.
05:18Venezuela has to defend the right to peace.
05:22You know why?
05:23We won the peace so quick in only 48 hours, because this people was mobilized in early
05:31hours, only on Tuesday.
05:35And I was surprised the neighbors of Catia, 23 de Enero, Petare, when they got by thousand
05:43here to the people's balcony.
05:48The criminal guerrillas were already activated in some places.
05:53And it's fundamental that the people is empowered, that the people is mobilized.
06:02And it's fundamental the union from the people, from the military, from the police.
06:11The Venezuelan OECD campaign command denounced that the far-right forced the fake TELUS sheets
06:16to give grounds for claiming fraud and disregarding electoral results.
06:19Let's see details in the following material.
06:24The head of the campaign command, Jorge Rodriguez, granted that the TELUS sheets published on
06:29the far-right website represent just 30% of the true data.
06:41How is this possible, that the Secretary of State of what is considered the greatest global
06:44superpower accepts a result when they only published 9,046 TELUS sheets, just representing
06:5030%?
06:51What they issued there on the web because we visited the site and took out their fake
06:55info counting up 9,046 TELUS sheets, 30%.
07:00I still call them TELUS sheets for deductive reasons, but those are not TELUS sheets.
07:04If you divide the ballot papers as seen to González Urrutia in Amazonas states, 46,069
07:11ballot papers by the turn of figures, he says, gives the result of 63%.
07:16And if you divide the votes as seen to President Nicolás Maduro, 22,228 ballot papers by the
07:22same turn of figures, he says, gives the result of 30%.
07:26How curious that in the 23 states nationwide, González Urrutia gains 63%, while Maduro
07:32gets 30%.
07:33That is, all states, such as Guaira, Amazonas, Sucre and Zuategui, Caracas, provided exactly
07:40the same results.
07:41That is mathematically impossible.
07:47Rodríguez presented pieces of evidence to the country of how the far-right opposition
07:51planned to disregard the electoral results.
07:57On July 29, evening, Mr. Hermundo González Urrutia made available to Venezuelans a website
08:03where they were allegedly going to upload some TELUS sheets with electoral results.
08:08The results of the presidential July 28 election in 2024.
08:13How curious that the day before the elections on July 27, 2024, the far-right opponents
08:19acquired this domain.
08:21They brought it and rendered it for a year from July 27, 2024 to July 27, 2025.
08:27That is, they had already decided not to abide by the result.
08:36Jorge Rodríguez, also president of the National Assembly Parliament, recalled that the former
08:41far-right presidential candidate, Edmundo González, did not sign the agreement on the
08:46recognition of the results.
08:52You know very well because it has been widespread on all media outlets that none of the spokesperson
08:56of the candidate González Urrutia has accepted neither to sign the agreement of the candidates
09:00in the National Electoral Council or to recognize the authority of the only entity in charge
09:05of deciding who was the winner.
09:10Rodríguez assured that this alleged fraud was set up by the summit company with the
09:14participation, from abroad, of far-right leaders, and reaffirmed that the campaign command and
09:20President Nicolás Maduro are willing to guarantee the transparency of the electoral process.
09:26Let's now take a short break, but remember you can join us on TikTok at TELUS English.
09:31We will find news in different formats, news updates, and much more.
09:34We will be right back, stay with us.
10:00Welcome back.
10:07In Palestine, on Sunday, an attack hit a tented area in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs
10:11Hospital in central Gaza, killing four people and wounding others.
10:15Volunteers were seen rushing to the scene at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, rescuing wounded
10:19and carrying bodies, while trying to extinguish the fire.
10:22The wounded were treated at the hospital while the bodies of the deceased were transferred
10:26on stretchers to the morgue, health authorities confirmed.
10:29Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balai is the main medical unit working in central
10:34Gaza, where thousands have sought refuge after fleeing their homes in the war-torn territory.
10:44On the other hand, on Sunday, the Ministry of Health in Gaza denounced that during the
10:47last 24 hours, the Israeli occupation army killed at least 33 civilians, while 118 were
10:52injured.
10:53In this sense, the report also added that the number of Palestinians killed since October
10:57in Gaza exceeds 39,583 and the number of wounded exceeds 91,398.
11:04Should be noted that nearly 10,000 people are missing, presumed dead, on the rubble
11:09of their homes, while Israel has continued a genocidal offensive, ignoring the International
11:14Court of Justice that ordered to halt its military offensive in Palestine.
11:20Meanwhile, in Israel, thousands of Israelis once again took to the streets of Tel Aviv
11:26on Saturday to demand that Benjamin Netanyahu's government reach an immediate agreement to
11:30guarantee an exchange of hostages.
11:32The security forces again attacked thousands of citizens, including the families and friends
11:36of the captives, who on Saturday took cover behind a gigantic 40-meter-long banner with
11:41a summary of the past days of the genocidal operation.
11:44Another of the demands that silenced the Israeli police brutally was the immediate call for
11:50elections and the immediate departure of the Zionist prime minister from government.
12:02And in India, representatives of leftist organizations demanded total solidarity with the Palestinian
12:06cause by suspending all agreements with the Zionist regime of Israel.
12:10As a sign of solidarity, different organizations asked the central government to close all
12:14agreements with the government in Tel Aviv, which is committing genocide in the Palestinian
12:18territory.
12:19They also demanded an immediate ceasefire and the recognition of a Palestinian state
12:23with West Jerusalem as its capital.
12:25It should be noted that the participants called for the invocation of the UN Special Committee
12:30against Apartheid to put an end to the Israeli regime in the Palestinian territories and
12:34to hold them accountable.
12:41On Sunday, Palestinians organized demonstrations for the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, political
12:46leader of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, in the framework of the International
12:50Day of Support for the Gaza Strip and those imprisoned in Israeli prisons.
12:55Demonstrators celebrated the steadfastness of the Palestinian prisoners in the occupation
12:59prisons.
13:00For their part, the government authorities expressed that the Palestinian people are
13:04united to support Gaza and to support those deprived of their freedom, who have been suffering
13:09the consequences of the Israeli siege since October.
13:12In the meantime, they called to intensify activities in support of the Palestinian people
13:17and highlighted the messages of support sent by the world to the citizens in Gaza.
13:27The people of Pakistan on Sunday also joined the mobilizations in support of the people
13:31of Palestine after the declaration of mourning for the assassination of the leader of Hamas,
13:36Ismail Haniyeh, during an Israeli aggression against Tehran.
13:40Demonstrators filled the streets in different cities of Pakistan to mourn the death of the
13:45leader who gave his life in sacrifice for Palestine.
13:48Pakistan's National Assembly adopted a resolution condemning Israel's oppression and brutality
13:53against Gaza and demanded that quick measures be taken to stop Tel Aviv's aggressions.

14:29The Pan American Health Organization issued an epidemiological alert to prevent, observe
14:34and diagnose the Oropusha virus.
14:36The organization reported that as of July, more than 8,000 confirmed cases and two deaths
14:42from the disease have been registered.
14:45It also reported that the disease has been transmitted through the region and at least
14:49in five countries, among them Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba and Peru.
14:53In this sense, the health organization warned that although Oropusha fever is described
14:57as mild, the increase in the transmission of severe cases makes it necessary to be more
15:01vigilant because of the possible more severe manifestations.
15:07The Brazilian government confirmed that so far there are 7,286 cases of the Oropusha
15:14virus in 21 states of the country.
15:16It also confirmed the death of a fetus due to the transmission of the virus in the state
15:20of Pernambuco.
15:21Forges also said that eight cases of transmission of the virus to embryos, which could have
15:27caused fetal death or the development of congenital anomalies, are under investigation.
15:32In Russia, the Ukrainian army carried out a new attack on Russian citizens in the Belgorod
15:40region.
15:41Authorities from Belgorod reported a new attack on the town of Shebekino and confirmed that
15:45as a result of the Ukrainian onslaught, two civilians were injured and a house was set
15:50on fire.
15:51They detailed that four other residences were damaged as well as a vehicle.
15:55The local government also denounced the attack with kamikaze drones against three other villages
15:59in Belgorod.
16:00Russian territories bordering Ukraine, such as Belgorod, Kursk and Crimea, regularly denounced
16:05the impact of shells and illegal incursions from Ukraine.
16:08In Bolivia, authorities recorded 23,748 heat sources and eight active forest fires, mainly
16:32in the eastern department of Santa Cruz.
16:35Santa Cruz leads the list with 21,284 heat sources distributed along seven departments,
16:40firefighting teams deployed to combat the growing crisis.
16:44The Joint Command for Response to Adverse Events described the figure as alarming.
16:48The attributed part of the origin of these outbreaks to the practice of shackeos, the
16:52authorized burning in fields to prepare land for agriculture and cattle raising.
16:57Authorities warned that the areas near the Bioscianic Highway, vital for the connection
17:02between Bolivia and Brazil, are at risk because the fires threaten road safety.
17:12In Kyoto, 23 others remained missing after a flash flood swept through a village in the
17:16southern province of Sichuan.
17:18According to authorities, during the last few days, the country has been affected due
17:22to heavy rains, partly associated with typhoon Kaimi, a situation that has triggered flooding
17:27in several regions.
17:28According to the latest reports, some 96,500 people were evacuated after losing their homes.
17:34In the central province of Hunan, more than 1.2 million people have been affected and
17:38127,000 hectares of crops have been damaged.
