00:00The former executive secretary of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of
00:16America, Sasha Gerenti, denounces Carter Center's position. In Argentina, the State
00:25Workers Association denounced that the next month a group from the United
00:29States would take over the metal mechanics sector of Rio Tercero and then move on to
00:34other facilities. And on Saturday, 110 people died and dozens got injured after
00:43an Israeli attack on a school in Gaza, where several Palestinians were
00:46sheltered.
00:54Hello and welcome to From the South. I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in
00:58Havana, Cuba. We begin with the news. Carter Center's irresponsible position on
01:02Venezuelan elections are denounced. On Friday, the former executive secretary of
01:07the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of America, Sasha Gerenti, accused the
01:12Carter Center of assuming irresponsible positions towards the elections in
01:16Venezuela. This occurred after the campaign to delegitimize the elections
01:21held on July 28, to which this entity has joined. In this regard, he denounced
01:26that the reasons for this are in the composition of its donors, particularly
01:31the annual more than $1 million, sourced partially from the organizations
01:36dedicated to the change of government, not only in Venezuela, but in other
01:40countries of the region.
01:47President Nicolás Maduro Moros offered statements after his appearance before
01:51the Supreme Court of Justice this Friday and expressed his deep respect for his
01:55counterparts from Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. In the words of the President
02:00Maduro, a conversation with the three presidents is pending about such a
02:04complex and manipulated reality. The head of state also pointed out that
02:09Venezuelan Foreign Minister Iván Gil is in communication with his
02:13counterparts and assured that they maintain permanent communication
02:17relations with those three governments. He concluded, saying that Venezuela
02:22respects the sovereignty of each country and they do not interfere in the
02:26internal affairs of any of them, nor do they practice microphone diplomacy.
02:35On Friday, YouTube closed Venezuelan channel Con el Mazo Dando, a program
02:40hosted by Diosdado Cabello, first vice president of the United Socialist
02:44Party of Venezuela.
02:45They sent me this plague. Squalid. Blow yourselves up there. And it says here,
02:53look, presented to Con el Mazo Dando for passing 100,000 subscribers. Hey, do
03:00you know why I say this? Because next week this channel will be knocked down.
03:05I guarantee it. You're going to see. You're going to see. You're going to see
03:10because here the rebels are going to get a hernia because they have not even
03:14been thanked. In Colombia, the Minister of Justice, Ángela María Buitrago,
03:20referred to the planning of an assassination attempt against President
03:23Gustavo Petro and described it as an act of the utmost gravity. From the city
03:28of Cúcuta, in the northeast of the country where he was participating in
03:32the 20th Congress of Procedural Law of the Francisco de Paula Santander
03:37University, she referred to several issues related to the Fonade case and
03:42the planning of an attack against the head of state. Hours earlier, the
03:46Ministry of Defense linked the self-dominated Central General Staff of
03:50the Revolutionary Colombian Armed Forces dissidents as responsible for the
03:54operation, about which it provides rigorous details.
04:01Well, I think it's the most serious one. I didn't hear the president. I heard
04:11the minister affirming the reasons why it has been detected in several
04:15locations and not just one and about those cases, because the issue is the
04:20most serious one in my approach, because I think not just undermining the top
04:25authority of the country and the signification of a democratic election
04:30as the one in this case, but what it means trying to do that. I think it's a
04:35very regrettable message in Colombia.
05:05The challenge that remains after the balance made this Friday is to warranty the life and
05:09integrity of the signatories, of which 431 have been killed, as well as to
05:15ensure the security of the territorial spaces for training and
05:18reincorporation of which seven have been displaced.
05:27The concern of the Constitutional Court is that it gave 16 orders to different
05:32institutions precisely so that the rights of the peace signers be restored,
05:37so that there be preventive measures, so that murders stop occurring. Let's
05:40remember that there are seven territorial training and
05:43reincorporation areas displaced of the locations they were because of the lack
05:48of guarantees. It's a bit what we are looking for, is to make that balance,
05:52what is each other and every one of these institutions going to do, the ones
05:57that investigate, the ones that prevent, the ones that protect, to guarantee
06:01them life.
06:06There's no doubt and we've said it, we've talked it in different instances.
06:10Security cannot be an individual process exclusively associated to issues of what
06:16we call tough security, that has to do with escorts, that has to do with guns,
06:20that has to do with vehicles, etc. But that necessarily passes for moving forward
06:25in the security of the territories, particularly the territories where peace signers are today,
06:30of course. Let's take a short break but remember you can join us on TikTok at
06:35TELUS City English where you'll find news in different formats, news updates and more.
06:39We'll be right back, stay with us.
07:00Welcome back. On August 9th, Peru approved a law that declared crimes against humanity
07:05committed before 2002 in the fight against the guerrillas to be prescribed,
07:10an initiative that will benefit former President Alberto Fujimori and 600 military officials on
07:16trial. In the midst of the rejection of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights,
07:20the law was published in the official gazette after the government decided not to observe it.
07:26The text annuls proceedings for alleged crimes committed during the internal conflict or war
07:31against terrorism, according to the authorities of the time, which left more than 69,000 people
07:37dead and 21,000 disappeared between 1980 and 2000. According to the law, no one will be
07:44prosecuted, convicted or punished for crimes against humanity or war crimes for acts committed
07:50prior to July 1st 2002, when the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court entered into force
07:57in Peru. Still in Peru, the Public Prosecutor's Office imposed 36 months of preventive detention
08:08against the brother of President Nicanor Boluarte Segarra for the crime of leading a criminal
08:14organization. The Peruvian Prosecutor's Office imposed preventive detention against President
08:19Boluarte's brother for a case related to the Ministry of the Interior for the appointment
08:25of prefects and sub-prefects, who would later contribute to create and register the Party of
08:31Ciudadanos por el Perú. The hearing was in charge of the judge Richard Augusto Concepcion.
08:38Likewise, the Public Ministry summoned Boluarte Segarra for next August 15th to testify for another
08:44corruption case in which he is allegedly charged with incompatible negotiation.
08:54In Brazil, on Friday around one o'clock in the afternoon, an aircraft of the Boe Pass airline,
09:00with at least 62 people on board, crashed into a residential area in the locality of Pinheiro,
09:05Sao Paulo. The Brazilian government confirms that there were no survivors and President
09:10Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva decreed, this Friday afternoon, three days of official state mourning
09:17for the 62 people who lost their lives in the accident. According to a communiqué released
09:22by the Vinhedo Prefecture, the highest-risk areas have been already controlled. The document also
09:28highlights the work of the social workers, psychologists and civil defense workers,
09:32who are assisting the families of the victims. The investigation is under the command of the
09:37Center for Aeronautical Accident Research and Prevention.
09:45The government of Cuba expressed its condolences to Brazil after a plane crashed that left no
09:51survivors. Through the social network X, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez expressed his
09:56deepest condolences on behalf of the nation to the government and people of Brazil. Rodríguez later
10:03expressed his solidarity with the grief of the families and relatives of the victims.
10:12The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bolivia also sent its message of condolences to the
10:17Brazilian government after the death of 62 passengers in a plane crash. In a statement
10:22issued through social networks, Bolivian Foreign Minister Salinda Sousa expressed her solidarity
10:28with the families of the deceased and with the government of President Lula da Silva.
10:33The loss of human lives is devastating and her prayers are with all of those affected,
10:38Sousa said in a statement.
10:44In Argentina, the State Workers Association announced that next month a group from the
10:50United States would take over the metal mechanics sector of Rio Tercero and then move on to other
10:56facilities. A national plenary meeting held in view of the situation of the state-owned company
11:02Fabricaciones Militares determined the state of alert and permanent assembly with mobilizations
11:07against the mutation to a joint stock company perpetrated by the government of Javier Milley
11:14and Minister Federico Stutzenegger. The association argues that it is due to the
11:19policy of adjustment and dismantling carried out by the government and added that the plenary was
11:25attended by all the workers of all the productive units of Fabricaciones Militares.
11:35In Mexico, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador declared that the U.S. government continues to
11:41withhold information about the arrest of Mexican drug traffickers Ismael Mayo Zambada and Joaquín
11:47Guzmán López, son of El Chapo Guzmán. The Mexican president expressed his disagreement with the lack
11:53of cooperation from the U.S. government to clarify the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Zambada
11:59and Guzmán. López Obrador raised a series of questions regarding the way in which both drug
12:05traffickers arrived to U.S. soil, the origin of the aircraft and the negotiation processes.
12:11In response to this, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar,
12:15affirmed that Washington did not plan the capture operation.
12:23UNESCO's representative in Mexico, Andrés Morales Arciniegas, stressed the importance of advancing
12:38policies and programs to warranty the rights of indigenous peoples, whose International
12:43Day was celebrated on Friday. Arciniegas explains that President-elect Claudia
12:48Sheinbaum dedicated an entire section to indigenous and Afro-Mexican populations in
12:53her 100 Steps for Transformation. He pointed out that these peoples are a central part of the
13:00cultural and linguistic diversity of the country, where more than 21% of the population is indigenous.
13:06He also stressed that during the last few years Mexico has made some progress,
13:11such as the reduction of multidimensional extreme poverty among indigenous peoples.
13:19I am a resident of Mexico City. I am from the state of Puebla, in Sierra Negra. I currently
13:30reside in Mexico City, but I have not forgotten my clothes or my language or my roots, which is
13:38my culture, where I come from. And that is why we are here. And also because we are celebrating
13:47the International Day of the Indigenous People, which is a very important day.

14:40Welcome back to From the South. The death toll of the attack perpetrated by the Israeli occupier
14:54troops against the school in Tabin rises to 110. The United Nations Special Rapporteur
15:00for the Palestinian Territories, Francesca Alvaniz, condemned the indifference of the world
15:05and the inability to protect the Palestinians honouring the most basic meaning of international
15:11law. The governments of Egypt and Jordan have also rejected the actions of Zionism
15:16and emphasised their unwillingness to dialogue. Likewise, the families of the kidnapped Hamas
15:21hostages claim that the attacks authorised by the extreme right frustrate the hopes of a ceasefire
15:27and an exchange of hostages. As we said in Palestine, thousands of people were displaced
15:38again to the west of the city of Kanjunis after the beginning of a new illegal operation of the
15:43Israeli army. The displaced citizens demand the international community to stop the crimes of
15:51occupation in the occupied Palestinian territories.
15:58Here we feel the torment coming and going. Every day there is an evacuation. We don't know where
16:04we will go. All we have left now is death. This is called slow execution. We have been going back
16:11and forth for a year, and negotiations have been going on for a year. We sleep on chairs and people
16:18are suffering. The leaders must intervene and stop the crimes of Israel. Enough of the siege.
16:24There is no security except with God. There is no security in Gaza. All places are targets.
16:33The Gaza population is suffering the consequences of the Israeli bombardment
16:37and displacement after losing their personal belongings and basic supplies.
16:42A week ago and a month ago we were evacuated, and every year we come and go. We have no source
16:52of income. We have no food, no clothes. We have nothing, and half the people are barefoot,
17:00homeless on the streets, and we are at God's door. Do we sleep on the street now when we can only go
17:06back to our homes and there are no houses at all? Despite the fear and humiliation by the
17:14Israeli military forces, the Gazans keep their faith in the end of the Israeli siege.
17:23What will one do? We don't know where we will go because of fear and humiliation,
17:27and when will we say other than thank God for what He has given us?
17:32May God support you and strengthen you against the enemies. We don't know where we will go.
17:37God is with us. May God protect you and grant you victory. I don't know where I will go. Look
17:43at the state of the people, how they have been humiliated. Twenty times we have left our homes.
17:48This is almost the 20th time we have been displaced, as you can see.
17:53More than two million people have been displaced in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023,
17:58facing dangers such as respiratory diseases, bombardment of shelters, and a severe humanitarian
18:04crisis. The Israeli army announced once again that all areas east of Cancun City will be displaced
18:13to the west because it will start a military operation, and now the citizens are displaced.
18:19One of the 15 illegal bases that the United States keeps in the Syrian territory was attacked
18:31on Saturday overnight, the illegal base of Karab al-Jir. Unmanned aerial vehicles impacted in
18:37several opportunities against the Washington base. They targeted the prefabricated rooms
18:42and various military vehicles. Images circling in social networks show some fires while the
18:49Pentagon troops deploy drones and helicopters as part of their high-alert operative.
18:54Syria has repeatedly denounced the presence of these illegal installations in its territory,
19:00as well as the dangerous task against peace they carry out.
19:04The Russian government notified the International Atomic Energy Agency of everything related to the
19:10situation at the Kursk nuclear power station, following consecutive attacks by Ukrainian
19:15forces against this territory bordering the Slavic nation. The Russian mission in Vienna,
19:20Austria, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates, in particular,
19:25channel that on August 8 fragments and debris were discovered at the station,
19:40presumably fragments of falling missiles, including in the area of the radioactive
19:44waste processing complex. On the same note, they added that these are direct shelling facts
19:50against the town of Kurskatov, the nuclear power plant, and the power plant itself. Moreover,
19:57the infrastructure has not yet been registered, but the situation remains intense.
20:06The Russian Committee reported that the Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions are under a regime
20:13of anti-terrorism operations. In the mentioned territories, measures and restrictions apply
20:18under Article 11 of the Federal Law of March 6, 2006, on counterterrorism. The measure applies
20:26amid unprecedented military operations and after several Ukrainian attempts to destabilize the
20:31situation in the different regions where many civilians were injured. The Committee took the
20:36measure to ensure the safety of the residents of the affected areas and declared that all state
20:43agencies are taking additional measures to maintain order and strengthen security.
20:49In Spain, the former president of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, informed that he is back in
20:58Belgium, in the municipality of Waterloo, after his brief appearance in Barcelona. Through his
21:04account on the social network X, the politician criticized the interaction with the media that the
21:09Catalan Interior Department had on August 9 to explain why the police had failed to arrest him.
21:16He also stressed that he has never had the will to voluntarily surrender to the police or to
21:22facilitate his arrest because he considers it was unacceptable that he is being persecuted
21:29for political reasons and that, in addition, the amnesty law is not being applied. On August 8,
21:34Puigdemont, a fugitive from Spanish justice and resident in Belgium since 2017,
21:41appeared in the center of Barcelona, where he addressed his supporters and then got lost in the
21:45crowd. We have come to the end of this news brief but you can find this and many other stories on
