00:00In Nicaragua, the government makes progress in a police and army program known as the
00:15Containment Wall, in which government organizes crime.
00:21In Palestine, displaced refugees in Gaza face a shortage of food supplies.
00:30Spanish authorities announce the incorporation of 500 members of the army to face Dana in
00:35the province of Valencia.
00:43Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from the Lesus Studios
00:47in Havana, Cuba.
00:49To begin with the news, Venezuela received on November 1st a delegation from the Colombian
00:53government to conduct peace talks with the National Liberation Army.
00:57The Colombian government delegation is headed by Pere Agrape, who will sit at the dialogue
01:01table with the delegation of the National Liberation Army, represented by Pablo Bertrand.
01:06The National Liberation Army will resume the talks, which are at a complex moment due to
01:11the government's claim to have achieved total peace.
01:13At the dialogue table, they intend to make progress in the elaboration of a peace agreement
01:18that will put an end to decades of armed conflict in the nation.
01:26And the government of the Bulgarian Republic of Venezuela finds incomprehensible a recent
01:31statement issued by the Brazilian Foreign Ministry, which tries to deceive the international
01:35community by pretending to be victims in a situation where they have clearly acted as
01:39perpetrators, which has surprised the Brazilian, Venezuelan and Latin American society.
01:45In a statement, the government said, Venezuela has demonstrated through public denunciation
01:49with dozens of proofs how the foreign ministry has undertaken a blatant and rude declaration
01:55against the constitution of President Nicolás Maduro's public institutions and powers,
02:00as well as Venezuelan society, in a systematic campaign that violates the principles of the
02:05United Nations Charter, such as national sovereignty and self-determination of peoples, even violating
02:10the Brazilian constitution itself in its mandate of non-interference in internal affairs of
02:14states.
02:15The argument expressed by the Brazilian Foreign Ministry to interfere in Venezuela's electoral
02:20and political issues, calling itself a witness of the Barbados agreements, lacks veracity
02:25and is a ruse that must cease immediately since said agreements were drafted exclusively
02:30by Venezuelans.
02:32The Bolivarian government once again urges Brazil's foreign ministry bureaucracy to
02:36desist from interfering in matters that only concern Venezuelans, avoiding deterioration
02:41of diplomatic relations between the two countries, for which they should assume professional
02:47and respectful diplomatic conduct, as Venezuela has demonstrated through its foreign policy.
02:58Moving on, in Nicaragua, the government is making progress in a police and arms program
03:02known as the Containment Wall, aimed at curbing organized crime.
03:06As part of this initiative, this week police seized a car traveling from Managua to San
03:11Juan del Sur with 263 kilograms of cocaine and $32,400.
03:17Police said they also found drugs in a truck, which was bound for Honduras from the El Guazule
03:23border post carrying at least 261 kilos of cocaine.
03:26The Containment Wall operation is a joint effort of police and army forces using intelligence
03:31information to block the entrance of arms, money and drug coming from drug trafficking
03:36and organized crime into the country.
03:43And in Buenos Aires, on November, the city proudly unveils its annual celebration of
03:47love, diversity and identity during the Pride Week.
03:51The LGBT Pride Parade takes place every November, with a series of concerts, a stunning parade
03:57and after-parties.
03:58This year, the Pride Argentina March No. 33 will take place on November 2nd.
04:05It will be the first march since the beginning of Javier Mele's presidency and it will not
04:08be financed by the national government.
04:11The three main slogans promoted are Pride is not for sale, it is made visible and defended,
04:17stop hunger and persecution and for a democratic agreement against hate speeches.
04:26In Argentina, the government wants to put up for sale hundreds of plots of land that
04:31were used as clandestine centers during the last civil military dictatorship, while being
04:36denounced as a way of denying and normalizing state terrorism.
04:39On October 24th, Decree 950, signed by President Javier Mele, was publicly selected in 309
04:46plots of land throughout the country to be sold.
04:48Among the land selected for sale was a clandestine detention, torture and extermination center,
04:53La Perla Chica, in Córdoba.
04:56This decision will be subjected to legal proceedings in the next few hours, while human rights
05:00organizations have denounced an attempt to sell memory.

05:15We'll be right back, stay with us.
05:30Welcome back.
05:44In Palestine, food supplies are insufficient to meet the needs of displaced people in the
05:48Gaza Strip.
05:50Hundreds of Palestinians gathered in front of a United Nations facility in the city of
05:54Deir al-Bala to receive the little food that enters the occupied territory.
05:58Despite an intense blockade by Israeli forces on humanitarian aid, the Israeli blockades
06:03and attacks affect the hundreds of thousands of displaced people in refugee camps that
06:07live in extreme conditions due to the Israeli genocide against the Gaza Strip.
06:17Anything at the present time represents something big to us in this situation of ours, during
06:21the war.
06:23As you can see, the economic situation and the prices of goods are high and expensive.
06:29Today, flour is something we cannot do without.
06:33A while ago, the price of a bag of flour was little over $1, today it costs $5.
06:42It is not enough for our needs.
06:45It does not satisfy my children's livelihood.
06:49Today, when I receive the flour and take it home, I have six people, and my mother and
06:53sister are with me.
06:57They need food and drink and there is no income.
07:02An Israeli strike hit a building in the coastal city of Tire in southern Lebanon.
07:05It is November 1st, and there were heavy raids added to the attacks over its base.
07:10Friday's strike in the coastal city of Tire in southern Lebanon destroyed a building on
07:14the city's seafront.
07:15Ambulances were seen rushing to the location and also some rescuers and paramedics calling
07:19people from under the rubble.
07:21According to reports, since conflict between Hezbollah and Israel intensified on September
07:2523rd, after nearly a year, at least 1,829 people have been killed in Lebanon.
07:33In Palestine, Israeli forces launched a new assault against the United Nations Office
07:39for Palestine Refugees in the occupied West Bank.
07:42The wave of violence against the UN office comes after the Israeli parliament banned
07:46the agency from operating in the occupied territories.
07:50For its part, UNRWA said that the center provided basic services to more than 4,000 Palestinian
07:55refugees in the Nur Shams Refugee Department, including sanitation and social protection
08:00for thousands of children.
08:02The international community condemned Israel's decision and remarked that the United Nations
08:06Office warns about the aggression suffered by millions of Palestinian children in the
08:11face of Tel Aviv's aggression.
08:18In Iran, Islamic Revolution leader Ali Khamenei said Israel and the United States will be
08:22getting a forceful response to their aggressions against Iran.
08:26The warning issued by Iranian Islamic Revolution leader Ali Khamenei followed an airstrike
08:30by Israel with United States backing against some military targets in Iran.
08:34Khamenei said that Tel Aviv violated Iranian sovereignty and therefore Tehran has the right
08:39to legitimate self-defense action, according to Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
08:45The Ayatollah Khamenei said Tehran will strengthen its military capabilities to counter global
08:49arrogance by Washington and Tel Aviv.
08:57The Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of a town in the Donetsk region
09:01and another one in Kharkov.
09:02The Defense Ministry added that Ukrainian forces lost over 2,045 soldiers on the line
09:08of operations of the Southern Group during the last hours.
09:11They also confirmed that Russian troops destroyed 50 unmanned aerial vehicles and destroyed
09:16four U.S.-made missiles.
09:18Since the beginning of the military operation, the Russian Armed Forces have managed to neutralize
09:22dozens of attacks by the Ukrainian troops on the border areas of the Russian territory.
09:34The Russian government announced that defense forces shot down at least 24 Ukrainian drones
09:38in several regions of the country.
09:40The UAVs were intercepted in the Kursk, Ryansk, Volgograd, Crimea and other provinces bordering
09:45Ukraine.
09:46The Defense Ministry pointed out that the Ukrainian army planned to attack Russian service
09:50facilities with drones.
09:51It also noted that during October, Kiev forces intensified their attacks on oil refineries
09:56and fuel depots.
10:03When in Mauritania, a Chinese hospital ship arrived to provide medical support to the
10:08local population as part of the mission Harmony 2024.
10:11The Chinese ship began its first goodwill visit of seven in the country.
10:15It is also the first time that a ship of the Chinese Navy has visited the country since
10:19China and Mauritania established diplomatic relations in 1965.
10:24The official medical team left the ship for the medical centers where they treated women,
10:28children and elderly residents with prevalent health problems such as hypertension, diabetes
10:34and gastrointestinal disorders.
10:36On the other hand, the ship's authorities announced that the objective is to provide
10:40health and hope through the warmth of care.
10:43Let's now take a short break, but first, we would like to invite you to watch our special
10:53segment with our colleague Belen De Los Santos, dedicated to the upcoming general elections
10:58in the United States.

11:41of Valencia.

11:51One of the affected areas is the community of Chiva, which registered the record rainfall
11:55during the Tana and since Tuesday, its inhabitants have been without electricity, water and telephone
12:01communications.
12:08There are people injured.
12:10There are still people trapped and we have to try to rescue them.
12:13The emergency services are helping, but it's true that we want to go and help too.
12:18And we can help a lot there because many hands are needed.
12:21The emergency services are finding it very difficult to get in, though, especially ambulances
12:26that are trapped by traffic jams.
12:31We went to see how we could help the fire services and they told us that what they needed
12:36to do was to open roads so that they could enter and distribute their aid.
12:42So because there were so many people on the main streets, it made their work very difficult,
12:48but they need help.
