00:00Welcome to Celestro English.
00:05My name is Belén de los Santos and these are the headlines at this hour.
00:08Early Friday morning, Venezuelan authorities denounced a sabotage that caused a blackout
00:13that affected several states in the country.
00:15The Ministry of Communication denounced that Venezuela has been a victim once again of
00:20the electrical sabotage that caused damages in several territories of the country, including
00:25the capital.
00:26At this moment, the Electric Cabinet is working for the total restoration of the service.
00:32Ferdinand Náñez, Minister of the Communication, declared that a special operation has been
00:37activated in Caracas for surface transportation and also stressed that nobody will take peace
00:44away from the Venezuelan people.
00:54As we know, today at approximately 4.40 a.m., there has been an electrical sabotage at national
01:00level that has affected the service supply in the country.
01:03This electrical sabotage was detected in time, and the Vice Presidency of Public Services
01:08and the entire Corpoelec team are working from the very moment the electrical sabotage
01:13occurred, to restore the service throughout the country.
01:19A contingency operation has been activated for Caracas and for the state of Miranda,
01:24which has to do with the supply of superficial public transportation, so that those who are
01:28heading to work can get to their workplace, those who are going to do their errands today
01:32can also do them.
01:33And they can be sure that both in Caracas, Miranda and at a national level, all the protocols
01:38will be activated throughout the morning while we have the contingency.
01:43In this way, the Minister of Communication and Information of Venezuela, Ferdinand Náñez,
01:48informed on Friday that the electrical sabotage that affected the service supply nationwide
01:53reassured the population of the current work being done to restore the service.
02:00All the teams are working indeed in GUI, which is the matrix area, where electricity is generated nationwide.
02:07We have already experienced this, it is something that unfortunately we went through in 2019,
02:12now we are much more prepared, we have much more capacity to respond.
02:16And in fact, what they tried to do, what they tried to do on July 28th, what they tried
02:21to do on July 29th and July 30th, they could not have done it in general.
02:25Today from trying so hard the evil sometimes ends up succeeding.
02:31And that is the main headline at this hour.
