00:00In Venezuela, the justices of the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court visited the headquarters
00:16of the National Electoral Council amid the progress of the investigation of the contentious
00:21electoral appeal on the presidential elections of July 28th.
00:28The government of Mexico, headed by Andrés Manuel López Obrador, lifted 100,000 citizens
00:34out of poverty every month, said the head of state at the end of his transition tour.
00:43In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for more pressure on Hamas after
00:48the Palestinian resistance withdrew from negotiations on Sunday.
00:58Hello and welcome to From the South, my name is Belén de los Santos and from the Televisual
01:02Studios in Havana, Cuba, we begin with the news.
01:05In Venezuela, the justices of the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court, together with
01:10a group of international observers, visited the headquarters of the National Electoral
01:14Council to begin the validation of the sample of physical transcribed minutes for the progress
01:20of the investigation of the contentious electoral appeal.
01:23Let's see.
01:25The justices of the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice, headed by the President
01:29of the Judiciary, Carizlia RodrĂguez, and the justices Fanny Marquez and Inocencio Figueroa,
01:34accompanied by the experts and international observers who are witnesses in the investigation
01:38process of the contentious appeal filed by President Nicolás Maduro, arrived at the
01:43main headquarters of the electoral power in Caracas, Venezuela.
01:51This after the Supreme Court of Justice informed that once the process of transcription of
01:55the representative samples of the tally sheets submitted by the National Electoral Council
01:59is finished, they will proceed to the validation of the tally sheets.
02:08The justices were guided to the data center where the entire technological infrastructure
02:12of the National Totalization Center No. 1 of the National Electoral Council is located.
02:18In this space, the servers of the National Electoral Council operate.
02:21This is what is called by the Electoral National Council authorities as the electoral bubble,
02:26a restricted security area that protects all the technological infrastructure of the National
02:31Totalization Center No. 1 of the National Electoral Council.
02:36The authorities also toured the management area of the Totalization Center where the
02:40justices, experts, and international observers will validate the physical tally sheets coincide
02:44with the digital ones, and will verify that the results are correct.
02:49The technical specialists of the National Electoral Council manage the platform to support
02:54the verification process of the experts of the Supreme Court of Justice.
02:57This is where all the tally sheets transmitted by the voting machines are received and where
03:01the process of reception of the same is done.
03:10Once they pass all the security protocols and are proceeded and totalized, this procedure
03:16is carried out in this room in the management area of the Totalization Center No. 1 of the
03:20National Electoral Council.
03:22The act was observed in real time by the witnesses of the different political organizations that
03:27participated in the electoral event of the last July 28.
03:33With today's verification, the Electoral Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice closes the
03:40cycle to verify that the tally sheets that were transcribed in phase 1 of the technical
03:44expertise and that coincide with the tally sheets received in the database of the National
03:49Electoral Council National Totalization Centers.
03:52This will guarantee that the integrity of the data has been maintained at all times
03:56by demonstrating 100% consistency of the same.
04:00We continue on topic as on Sunday the President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, addressed a
04:05letter to his counterpart of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, in which he recognized him as the
04:10winner of the July 28 presidential elections.
04:13The Pakistani head of state highlighted that the third consecutive victory of the Venezuelan
04:17president reflects the respect and confidence of the people in his leadership.
04:23Furthermore, Ali Zardari assured that both nations will continue on the path of cooperation
04:29and strategic alliance for the advancement and development of the bilateral relations
04:34between the countries.
04:41And more on Venezuela.
04:43The beaches off the central coast normally receive the capital's residents who come to
04:47enjoy the sun and the Caribbean.
04:50Tourists expect the situation to continue improving for the rest of the year.
04:54Let's see.
04:56The beaches of La Guaira state receive week after week thousands of tourists who travel
05:01from Caracas on a route of approximately 30 minutes, just as this group from the Veinte
05:06Tres de Enero neighborhood in Caracas did.
05:11We are low income, but we do something.
05:13One makes the arepa, another makes the, you know, a collaboration between all of us and
05:17let's go to the beach.
05:19Or this worker who came with his family to enjoy a barbecue at the seashore.
05:27Everyone takes their own course as they want, because they are outside.
05:30There are some who are lucky and do well, others who are not and come back.
05:34They leave, sell everything, and come back with nothing.
05:37I, thank God, I'm not moving from here.
05:40I'm in my country and everything is fine.
05:48Traders generally know what they are doing and in spite of the situation the country
05:52has been going through, they maintain the expectation of a constant improvement.
05:57Yes, there have been people, there has been a bit of sale.
06:03Today the day has dawned and blessed.
06:06Here we are working, giving everything for everything.
06:08There are quite a lot of people, well, the day has been good, it has stayed that way.
06:18All things are going to go well, economically, as we are going, and what can I tell you?
06:23Every day this looks better, everything is fine here.
06:25Okay, look, you are seeing the beaches as they are.
06:28Well, people are here quietly enjoying with their families.
06:33The resilience of the Venezuelan population is constantly expressed in the longing for
06:37a better and peaceful situation.
06:40This is a radiant, beautiful sun.
06:46What you breathe is tranquility and peace, which is what the whole planet wants, all
06:50visitors to enjoy life.
06:55In Caracas, the population also took the opportunity to do sports, enjoy a sunny day with the family
07:00or go for a walk to shopping malls.
07:06We now move on to other topics.
07:07The government of Mexico, headed by Andrés Manuel López Obrador, lifted 100,000 citizens
07:13out of poverty every month.
07:15This was said by the head of state at the end of his transition tour.
07:19On Sunday, in the company of President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum, the president closed a
07:24tour of 32 entities that he himself described as unprecedented in Monterrey, in the northeast
07:31of the nation.
07:32There, in addition to supervising the young people building the future program and thanking
07:38the state for the signs of trust and affection, he also gave an account of the scope of his
07:44fight against poverty, after 40 years of what he described as neoliberalism.
07:59We lifted more than 5 million Mexicans out of poverty.
08:03I will explain it to you, although conservatives do not like to hear it.
08:09In two six-year terms, with Calderón and with Peña, every month 100,000 people entered
08:16poverty.
08:18Every month 100,000 people.
08:21Every month the number of poor people grew by 100,000 people.
08:26With us, every month 100,000 people get out of poverty.
08:32That is the difference.
08:36And now let's take a short break, but remember you can join us on TikTok at Telesor English
08:45where you will find news in different formats, news updates and much more.
08:52Stay with us.
09:26Welcome back from the South.
09:34Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for more pressure on Hamas after
09:38the Palestinian resistance withdrew from negotiations on Sunday.
09:42Netanyahu had hoped to reach an agreement with the Washington design proposal and welcome
09:48U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken with this achievement.
09:52But Hamas rejected the offer, abandoning negotiations on the grounds that the occupier
09:57is constantly changing conditions and adding new demands to a proposal that everyone initially
10:03had agreed to.
10:04Meanwhile, the Zionist premier has ordered all pressure to be directed against the group
10:10and its new leader, Yahya Sinwar.
10:22And regarding the Palestinian resistance movement's rejection to the new proposal, in a statement
10:27Hamas called on the mediators to offer a concrete plan to implement the proposals already agreed
10:33upon on July 2nd, emphasizing the need to avoid a contentious cycle of stalled negotiations
10:39due to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's delaying tactics and his new arbitrary conditions.
10:46In this regard, Hamas stressed that the Western proposal reflects Netanyahu's insistence on
10:51maintaining control over strategic areas of Gaza, including the Netzarim crossing, the
10:57Rafah crossing and the Philadelphia corridor.
11:04We continue in Palestine.
11:06Local authorities in the Gaza Strip reported that Israeli attacks on the Palestinian enclave
11:11have killed more than 40,000 people since the beginning of the Israeli genocide against
11:16the Palestinian people.
11:18The enclave's Ministry of Health also reported that since the beginning of the Israeli offensive,
11:23more than 92,000 people have been injured, while another 10,000 are missing.
11:29It is important to point out that the civil defense teams and ambulances have difficulties
11:34to enter the areas affected by the clashes due to prohibitions of the Israeli occupation
11:39forces, causing many victims to die due to the lack of medical assistance.
11:49And also, new attacks by the Israeli regime on the town of Javelia and Khan Younis were
11:53reported, leaving several people dead and several wounded.
11:58At least four Palestinians were killed and others were wounded when Israeli jets bombed
12:02two residential apartments in Javelia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
12:08Local sources also reported that ambulances and rescue teams recovered the bodies of the
12:13martyrs and several wounded from under the rubble of those houses.
12:19Also a Palestinian woman and a child were killed and others were wounded when planes
12:25fired at a house in the town of Abassan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis.
12:31In the last hours, the genocidal army committed a massacre against an entire family, killing
12:37the 15 members, most of whom arrived shattered at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital after the
12:43bombing of a warehouse in central Gaza.
12:54We continue with other topics.
12:55In the United States, hundreds rallied in Chicago on Sunday ahead of the Democratic
13:00National Convention, which begins Monday.
13:03Despite the growing popularity of U.S. Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala
13:08Harris, the shadow of protests over the Biden-Harris administration's support for Israel's war
13:14against Hamas in Gaza hangs over the convention.
13:19Security has been stepped up for the four-day gathering, with tens of thousands of people
13:24expected to descend on the city for daily protests.
13:28The largest of which are scheduled for Monday and Wednesday.
13:32On Sunday, several hundred demonstrators gathered in downtown Chicago, carrying a banner that
13:37read, Feminists and LGBTQ plus people for a free Palestine.
13:43We want to let the Democrats know that their vote is not something that is a given from
13:51the people.
13:52It's something that is earned.
13:53They have to show us that they're here to support our interests and not that of their
13:57corporate donors.
13:58On top of that, any rights activist, I don't care what field you are in, if you are not
14:03in solidarity with the people of Gaza and Palestine right now while a genocide is going
14:10on, then you are totally bankrupt as a rights activist.
14:16You cannot be in favor of your own liberation if you're not in favor of other people's liberation.

15:08The Office of the Ministry of Defense confirms that the battalions commanded by Moscow are
15:14in control of the locality of Sibiria Donoskovka.
15:18Additionally, this contingent, called Center Group, has fended off several Ukrainian attacks,
15:24defeating the Kiev troops in such areas as Dalinovkovo, Kalinovo and Ptiche.
15:31In the Syrak Mishas, the Ukrainian troops have lost more than 500 uniformed personnel,
15:38two armored vehicles and numerous weapons.
15:40The dispatch also confirms that the Akhmat battalion repelled several waves of Ukrainian
15:45attacks in the Kursk region, where they also reported heavy losses in the Ukrainian ranks.
15:56In Thailand, the King appointed Petorn Thang Srinavatra as the Asian country's new Prime
16:01Minister two days after the Parliament elected her, following the dismissal of Chetra Tavisin
16:07by order of the Constitutional Court.
16:10According to the local media, the daughter of former Prime Minister Thaksin Srinavatra
16:15received the written order from King Mahabakhshin Longkorn to form a government in ceremony
16:22held in Bangkok.
16:24In this regard, the new leader announced that she will head a coalition government led by
16:28her party, Pew Thai, together with the pro-military movement opposed to her father Thaksin Srinavatra.
16:35Furthermore, the head of government thanked the sovereign for his support and expressed
16:41to the people that she hopes to coordinate the power of all talented Thai generations
16:45to assume the assigned position with responsibility.
17:11We now move on to other topics.
17:23In Chad, local authorities reported that more than 60 people died as a result of floods
17:27caused by torrential rains in the country.
17:30The rains in the northwest of the country caused floods in Edmontonious areas, where
17:35several rivers flowed before evaporating in the Sahara.
17:39The authorities urged to prepare a program of assistance to the inhabitants of the affected
17:43areas, including those difficult to access as a result of the floods.
17:48Experts warned that, due to the effects of the climatic phenomenon El Niño, several
17:53areas in western, east and southern Africa are suffering from heavy rains or severe droughts.
18:01Meanwhile, in Pakistan, at least 195 people lost their lives after heavy rains and floods
18:09registered from the month of July to the present.
18:12The report of the National Disaster Management Authority said that the rains have caused
18:16severe consequences, including 365 people injured and the destruction of more than 2,000 houses.
18:25The floods also damaged more than 44 kilometers of roads and 30 bridges throughout the country.
18:31It should be noted that Pakistan is still trying to recover from the devastating floods
18:35of 2022, which affected 33 million people and caused 1,739 deaths.
18:59And in Cuba, the fourth Barredero Hosone Festival, Rumba Chasan San, started on August 18th with
19:05a rich combination of landscapes and rhythm.
19:09Under the slogan, DĂ©jalo que suene, let it sound, this musical event is promoted both
19:14by the government of the province of Matanzas and by the Ministries of Culture and Tourism
19:19of the island.
19:21For three days between the 18th and 20th of the month, three concerts are scheduled at
19:26El Denis Beach for all visitors, while the rest of the festival will be held at the Hosone
19:31Park in Barredero, also known for its famous beaches, where notable national artists and
19:38orchestras, including Isaac Delgado and Los Bambam, will be performing.
20:02And Colombians parade on beds on the world's Day of Laziness, the closing day of a festival
20:08held every year since 1985 in the municipality of Itagi, south of Medellin.
20:13Let's see.
20:14The Day of Laziness has always been a meeting place for families, for young people, for
20:20children.
20:21A cultural space.
20:22It is not leisure for leisure's sake.
20:24It is a space to enjoy the family, to be together taking into account art and culture.
20:29It represents family togetherness.
20:32I was struck by the fact that I was told that people had to come in pajamas, so I came in
20:39my pajamas as relaxed as possible.
20:41I came with my friends.
20:43It has caught my attention that everyone is doing their own thing.
20:46Here people came to enjoy themselves, to have a great time, and as the name says, to be
20:51lazy.
