00:50Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:54We begin with the news.
01:12Heads of state and government representatives continue to take the floor Thursday on the

01:29Fourth day of the General Debate here at the United Nations and in the afternoon was the
01:35turn of the Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, we're talking about Mr.
01:42Ralph Gonsalves.
01:43And it was very interesting, his words, because he mentioned about the ghost of the Monroe
01:51Doctrine saying that it's still alive and kicking in Latin America and violating some
01:58international rights with the implantation of sanctions to different countries, including
02:05of course Venezuela and Cuba.
02:08Also he mentions that it's unacceptable at all the situation of the genocide against
02:15the Palestinian people and the disparities going on in the world throughout the banking
02:23system, the financial system.
02:25But very interesting that he put emphasis that that doctrine of James Monroe, we're
02:31talking about a former president of the United States that 200 years ago said that America
02:38was for the Americans, meaning for the United States, and from then on many, many incidents
02:47we have lived in our region.
02:49Was very interesting security in the morning when the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin
02:58Netanyahu, was doing his speech.
03:00The highlight of his speech was not what he said, was that at the very moment that he
03:07stands next to the podium, most of the delegations, a lot of delegations, standed up and left
03:16the room.
03:17It was a very clear sign, was very representative of what's going on since the beginning of
03:23this General Assembly.
03:25The applause, the applauding that we've seen and witnessed and heard when the Palestinian
03:33delegation took over, and the repudiation, the general repudiation of the international
03:39community against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
03:43Earlier in the morning also the members of the group of the Friends in Defense of the
03:53Charter of the United Nations met.
03:56There were about 18 members of that group, and also they put emphasis that the very beginning
04:07there was presided by the foreign minister of Venezuela, Ivan Hill, who said that the
04:16case of the genocide in Gaza was the confirmation of the lack of strength for the strengthening
04:26that it doesn't have the United Nations, that they don't have the force, the strength
04:32to stop the genocide.
04:34So far that has been the highlights of the morning.
