00:00In France, social and political organizations rally in several cities to reject the appointment

00:12of Michel Barnier as Prime Minister.

00:16In Argentina, authorities declare a state of disaster due to the loss of at least 12

00:22hectares of land due to forest fires in the province of Córdoba.

00:27In Europe, citizens demonstrate in different cities to condemn the Israeli genocide against

00:33the Palestinian people.

00:45Hello and welcome from the south, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Telesur Studios in Havana,

00:49Cuba.

00:50We begin with the news.

00:51In France, social and political organizations rally in several cities to reject the appointment

00:56of Michel Barnier as Prime Minister.

00:58The main anti-government protests began at 2 p.m. local time at the Place de la Bastille

01:02in Paris.

01:03Demonstrations followed the parliamentary elections in which the left-wing coalition

01:07of the New Popular Front won the majority of the seats.

01:10After these elections, Macron refused to appoint a left-wing Prime Minister, which is why,

01:15according to polls, 74% of French people claim that Macron ignores the will of the people.

01:25In this regard, the leftist leader and founder of France Insoumise Jean-Luc Mélenchon stated

01:30that the appointment of Barnier as Prime Minister would not have a majority support in the National

01:34Assembly.

01:35He also denounced the theft of the results of the legislative elections of July 7.

01:40Mélenchon argued that a new Prime Minister, Barnier, has no relation to the results of

01:44the elections and his position would be promoted by the far-right wing of Marine Le Pen.

01:55No matter what nonsense you do, no matter how many hours it will last in the media,

02:02whatever happens, we will vote to censure this government in the National Assembly.

02:10Protesters denounced that what France has today is the exact opposite of what they voted

02:14for in the last July elections.

02:17We find ourselves today with the exact opposite of what we voted for, that is to say a Prime

02:22Minister coming from a consensus, implicit coalition between the National Rally Party

02:26and the majority presidential party.

02:29This is unacceptable.

02:32We have mobilized today in unity, in clarity around this clear objective.

02:36We are saying that Emmanuel Macron must bend to the popular vote, he must accept the sanction

02:41from the voters.

02:42Today there is only one solution and that is to name the new popular front to the Prime

02:46Minister's post.

02:48We have to get out of this situation that goes against fundamental democratic principles.

02:55Citizens rallying call to organize coordinated actions that can put pressure on the government

02:59to achieve necessary reforms.

03:01Democratic and I think voting is not enough and I think that's why people are in the street

03:06today but I think we need to go further, the same way we saw with the pension reform and

03:10other struggles, we need to start organizing from below, including in our communities,

03:14in our workplaces, in schools, to actually organize coordinated actions that can put

03:18pressure on the government to win everything we want from the government that we need to

03:24a plethora of reforms that are necessary for everyone to be able to live in a better society.

03:35Moving on to other news, the US justice has decided on Friday to delay until after the

03:40presidential elections the sentence against Republican candidate for the White House,

03:44Donald Trump.

03:45The former US president was found guilty in late May of falsifying business records to

03:49try to hide a payment of $130,000 to the adult film industry actress Stormy Daniels in exchange

03:56for her silence.

03:58Judge Juan Marciano of the New York State Supreme Court explained that the sentence

04:01will be read on November 26, endorsing the application of Trump's legal team, which

04:06has requested to postpone the date again for the second time.

04:09Judge Marciano stressed that the measure has been motivated mainly by the electoral

04:13process, with a view to maintaining the objectivity of the US judicial system.

04:35In Argentina, a Ford is declared a state of disaster due to the loss of at least 12 hectares

04:39of land due to forest fires in the province of Córdoba.

04:43Córdoba's security minister Juan Paul Quinteros detailed that at least four firefighters and

04:4812 houses were affected by the flames that swept through the region.

04:51It is also reported that more than 200 firefighters, helicopters and two waterplanes are working

04:57to mitigate the 14 simultaneous outbreaks that are still active.

05:00Authorities have begun investigations to determine the causes of the fires and those responsible

05:06for them.

05:11In Vietnam, at least four people were killed and 78 others injured following the Yagi Typhoon,

05:16which swept the northern part of the country.

05:18Meteorologists say this is the most powerful storm to hit the region in recent years.

05:23Yagi Typhoon made landfall in Vietnam on Saturday with winds of up to 203 km per hour.

05:30Strong winds and flying debris caused damage to buildings and vehicles, with falling trees

05:35leading to power outages in the capital, Hanoi, affecting some 830,000 households.

05:41The government activated alert systems and evacuated areas at risk of flooding.

05:46They also shut down at least four airports.

05:48This storm is expected to continue its transit towards the south of the Asian continent.

05:56Meanwhile in China, three people were killed and another 95 injured due to Typhoon Yagi,

06:01which hit the country with winds of over 234 km per hour.

06:04The second strongest tropical storm in Asia this year.

06:08The typhoon hit the provinces of Hainan, Guangdong, and Guangxi, a region with a population of

06:131.2 million inhabitants, where 420,000 had to be moved to shelters.

06:19At present, authorities focus on removing debris and restoring electricity to the affected

06:23areas.

06:26Let's now take a short break, but remember you can join us on Tiktok at Telesor English,

06:32where you'll find news in different formats, news updates, and much more.

06:38We'll be right back, stay with us.

06:56Welcome back.

07:04In Nicaragua, Vice President Rosario Murillo announced the appointment of Valtrak Jansk

07:08as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

07:11The vice president also explained that Denis Moncada, former holder of the office, will

07:15step down as foreign minister due to health issues, and will be appointed as minister

07:19advisor.

07:20In an interview with a local TV channel, the new minister of foreign affairs spoke about

07:23the great responsibilities and honor that comes along with the position.

07:37My Commander Daniel and Comrade Rosario, I believe that they are the continuators of

07:42a history in the historical program.

07:45The inclusion of the peoples of the Caribbean coast is the Sandinista front, the only one

07:51that has been able to understand and interpret the inclusion of the native peoples and Afro-descendants

07:57in the construction of the nation, in the strengthening of the national identity and

08:02the national unity, I believe, that I feel proud because I am the first Afro-descendant

08:08that is only possible with the Sandinista front.

08:15The foreign affairs minister also in the interview referred to the need of achieving a stronger

08:18Central American Union for the development of the countries in the region.

08:24We must strengthen this Central American unity in order to see ourselves as a single people

08:30facing difficulties.

08:32You cannot divide the issues of facing difficulties.

08:35You cannot divide the issues of disaster risks, the issue of facing the environment, the issues

08:42of security, the fight against poverty.

08:45You cannot divide them, they are the same.

08:48That is, the Central American Caribbean from Belize to Panama are some of the most vulnerable

08:54regions of the planet.

08:58Venezuela revoked the approval granted to Brazil to represent the interests of the Argentine

09:02Republic and its nationals in Venezuelan territory.

09:05In a statement, the Bolivarian Republic informally had taken the decision to revoke immediately

09:08the approval granted to the government of the Federative Republic of Brazil to represent

09:13the interests of the Argentine Republic and its nationals in Venezuelan territory, as

09:17well as the custody of the premises of the diplomatic mission, including its assets and

09:21archives, as announced in the joint statement dated August 5, 2024.

09:26The statement added that the decision had been notified to the States concerned through

09:29diplomatic channels.

09:31The statement also further explained that Venezuela is forced to take this decision

09:35based on the evidence of the use of the diplomatic mission's facilities for the planning of terrorist

09:40activities and assassination attempts against the constitutional president of the Bolivarian

09:43Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, and against the vice president, César Rodríguez,

09:49actions that were planned by the fugitives from Venezuelan justice who remained within

09:53it.

09:59The battle to exclude Cuba from the arbitrary U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism adds

10:03new voices in its favor thanks to the support of notable intellectuals such as Brazilians

10:07Fray Beto and Fernando Moraes.

10:10The president of Casa de las Américas, Álvaro Prieto, confirmed on Friday on his ex-account

10:15with a post that includes personalities such as Venezuelan writer Luis Brito García, Colombian

10:20narrator and literature professor Pablo Montoya, and Mexican academic and politician Hector

10:26Díaz Polanco.

10:27Following an open letter from Franco-Spanish journalist Ignacio Ramonet addressed to U.S.

10:32President Joe Biden to demand the exclusion of the Caribbean country from this dishonorable

10:36list, the prestigious Havana-based institution appeals to anyone sensitive to the suffering

10:42of the Cuban people.

10:47An Ecuador registered a massive blackout in the early hours of Saturday following a collapse

10:51in the power systems.

10:53According to the National Electricity Operator, the incident occurred due to a failure in

10:56the boost bar of the Molino substation which connected to the generation of Paute, Azuaí

11:02province.

11:03In this regard, a representative of the Association of Electrical Engineers of Azuaí said the

11:08blackout occurred because the system is at the limit of its capacities, so the protections

11:13were activated and subsequently a widespread power outage.

11:17The national government informed that the energy centers are at 100 percent of their

11:21operating capacity, which gradually re-established the service.

11:30Brazilian President Luiz Inácio da Silva assured this Friday that he will not keep

11:35in the government someone who practices harassment due to accusations made against the Minister

11:39of Human Rights and Citizenship, Silvio Almeida.

11:43Lula da Silva said that they will have to investigate properly and added that continuity

11:49in the government is not possible, because the government would not do justice to its

11:52discourse to its defense of women with someone who is being accused of harassment.

11:58He continued saying that he will talk to Ministers Almeida and Aníl Franco and will make a decision

12:03afterwards.

12:04The President affirmed that although the Minister will not remain in the government, their right

12:07to defense and the presumption of innocence must be allowed.

12:51In Kenya, there are some 70 children still missing since Friday following a fire at a

12:54school in the central region.

12:5610 children died in the fire.

12:58According to a police report, the fire at the Hillside Endarasha Academy near the county

13:03broke out shortly after midnight on Friday, September 6, in one of the dormitories where

13:07over 150 children aged 10 to 14 were sleeping.

13:10The families of the missing children complain that they have received little information

13:14from the authorities, and they are asking for a swift investigation in order to find

13:18the children.

13:19Meanwhile, Kenyan President William Puto has declared three days of mourning in honor

13:23of the deceased children, and he has pledged to mobilize all available resources to support

13:28the families of those affected.

13:31During the last hours, the Russian defense forces neutralized more than 280 Ukrainian

13:50military personnel and 13 armored vehicles that attempted to attack the territory of

13:54Kursk.

13:55The Ministry of Defense detailed that Russian forces hoarded several attempts of shelling

13:59and repulsed two attacks on the Kursk area.

14:02During the operation, the Kiev troops lost military equipment, among them three tanks,

14:06nine artillery pieces, missiles, and an electronic warfare station.

14:10In the course of the special military operation, the Army of Ukraine has lost more than 10,100

14:15soldiers following attempted raids on Kursk.

14:20Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops shelled with cluster munitions a children's hospital in the town

14:27of Gorlovka, Donetsk region.

14:29The city mayor reported that the Ukrainian aggression left at least five people wounded,

14:33among them a child.

14:34He also reported that there was a massive shelling by Kiev forces on the center of the

14:38city, leaving at least three people wounded.

14:41During the last month, Ukraine intensified its unmanned aerial and drone shelling of

14:46localities in the Donbass region and the Russian border regions.

14:59Israeli forces escalated aggression against Palestinians in Gaza for the 11th month.

15:15Authorities denounced that in the last 48 hours, Israel committed four massacres in

15:19which at least 61 people were killed and 162 were wounded.

15:23European forces targeted the Halima al-Sadiyah school-turned-shelter located in Jabalia,

15:28northern Gaza.

15:29Health authorities reported eight people killed, half of them belonging to the same family.

15:33The Israeli bombardment of schools housing displaced people is a frequent occurrence

15:37and constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law.

15:41According to Palestinian children at the school, the attack occurred while they were sleeping.

15:45There are around 3,000 to 3,500 people inside this school.

15:55We were sleeping when suddenly a missile landed on us.

15:58We woke up terrified and came here.

16:00We found a number of martyrs, including children, women and men from the Calda family.

16:05A tent belonging to displaced people was targeted in the middle of Halima al-Sadiyah school,

16:12which is a center that houses a large number of displaced families.

16:16The strikes resulted in a number of martyrs,

16:19and our crews are still searching for martyrs or injured people in the vicinity of this place.

16:24In the Netherlands, citizens took to the streets of The Hague

16:27to denounce the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people that started on October 7, 2023.

16:33With banners and Palestinian flags, demonstrators gathered in the capital city

16:36to condemn the crimes committed by Tel Aviv in the Gaza Strip,

16:41which amounts to almost 41,000 martyrs to date.

16:44Also, students gathered outside the University of Amsterdam

16:47to demand a ceasefire in the areas occupied by Israel.

16:50During these demonstrations, people also urged international organizations

16:53to back a free and independent Palestine.

17:01On Saturday, also the people in the United Kingdom joined the 10 or so countries

17:05expressing rejection of repeated violations by the Israeli regime in the Gaza Strip.

17:09Hundreds of people marched through the capital city, London,

17:12demanding a ceasefire and the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

17:15Demonstrators displayed banners and placards expressing support to the Palestinian people,

17:20who for over 300 consecutive days have been suffering the consequences of the Israeli occupation.

17:30In Argentina, citizens demonstrated solidarity with the Palestinian people

17:34demanding an end to the Israeli genocide against the population of Gaza.

17:37The Argentine Committee of Solidarity with the People of the Gaza Strip

17:40organized the Palestinian caravan to denounce the aggressions of the Zionist troops

17:44and to demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

17:48In this sense, the participants of the demonstration asked the Arab community

17:52and the Latin American countries to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

17:56In addition, the Argentines condemned the Western attacks

17:59and censorship of social medias against any content in support of Palestine.

18:07You can't imagine all the things that are happening there

18:11because everything that appears on social media is 1% of what's going on.

18:16Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, they block all the videos of Palestine.

18:21If you post a flag of Palestine, they tell you that this is the flag of terrorists.

18:27When we search for the terrorist's flag, they put the flag of Palestine

18:32and they are attacking a lot in that sense.

18:36But we still continue posting so that the world knows who the real terrorists are,

18:40although some of them already know.

18:44It is terrible what is happening in Gaza.

18:48There is bombing every minute, either from tanks or airplanes.

18:52There are more than 10 martyrs every hour.

18:56There is a house that is bombed every hour.

19:00A house with people living there.

19:04Every hour a child and his mother die.

19:08Today we are here to condemn the genocide against the heroic Palestinian people,

19:13to continue denouncing any genocide that occurs.

19:17We are today in Argentina before a reivindication of the genocide

19:21where they want to change the story, which cannot happen under any circumstances.

19:28Because the Argentine justice said it had been judged.

19:32This was a genocide.

19:36There were 30,000 victims.

19:40And in this sense, we also denounce the current and previous government

19:44for having relations with Israel

19:48and allowing the company Mekorot to enter Argentine territory.

19:52We denounce colonialism and imperialism.

19:56That is, we have come to the end of this news brief.
