00:59Hello welcome to From the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Televisa Studios in Havana,
01:04Cuba.
01:05We begin with the news.
01:06In Brazil, the Supreme Federal Court will begin to examine on Wednesday the action that
01:11discusses the violence and lethality of the police that prevails in favelas and communities
01:16in the state of Rio de Janeiro.
01:18Such case was based only for the manifestations of the parties and entities involved in the
01:22process.
01:23The case is in question was called ADPF of favelas and is used to question violations
01:30of fundamental rights guaranteed in the Constitution.
01:33That action was inserted in 2019 by the Brazilian Socialist Party and the human rights entities
01:38and social movements that asked to be recognized by the SDF the situation of serious violation
01:44of rights committed by security forces in the Carioca favelas.
01:55In Argentina, the third federal educational march was held this November 12th.
01:59Students, teachers and other members of the educational community marched in several points
02:03of the country to defend the public university and demand an increase in the educational
02:08budget.
02:09The mobilization sought to make visible the critical salary and budgetary situation that
02:13public education is going through in view of the lack of funding caused by the government
02:18of Javier Meley, who vetoed the university financing law.
02:21In Buenos Aires, several sectors such as health and aeronautics supported the measure in the
02:26vicinity of the Obelisco.
02:28Demonstrators were intimidated by a huge and disproportionate presence of police.
02:39The university is coming from a very hard year.
02:42The government has been attacking and destroying education at all levels.
02:46Not only in the university, but it is something generalized.
02:49Even we who have an artistic background, we see an attack that is also widespread in education,
02:54in culture and even in health, as well as in all areas.
02:58It is a government that is coming for everything, and we are coming from a year in which we
03:02have organized ourselves with different measures of all kinds, such as this flash move.
03:07In Peru social movements in the province of Sardinia announced that they will continue
03:12the protest measure against insecurity and the government of the Navaluarte.
03:15Social movements announced a national popular strike scheduled from November 13th to the
03:2015th, with the purpose of demanding effective action against crime and corruption.
03:25They claim that crime has put at risk the security, life and right to work of citizens,
03:31problems not adequately addressed by the government.
03:34In this context, social movements call on all citizens in urban neighborhoods and rural
03:38communities to join in the mobilization, adding that it will be carried out in a peaceful
03:43but forceful manner.
03:46An inequal number of prison massacres against state guards during the neoliberal governments
03:55of Lenin Moreno, Guillermo Lasso and Daniel Loboa continue to increase.
03:58Let's review some data.
04:01At least 21 prison massacres have been counted from 2021 to the present, leaving no less
04:06than 507 people killed while in state custody.
04:11During Lenin Moreno's administration, which spanned from 2017 to 2021, around 84 people
04:16in state custody were killed, while in the government of Guillermo Lasso, between 2021
04:20and 2023, 408 inmates were murdered.
04:24Currently, the government of Daniel Loboa registered at least 15 people murdered in
04:28prison massacres less than a year after assuming the presidency of the Ecuadorian country.
04:35And on November 13th and the 14th, the Ibero-American Business Meeting No. 15 will be held in Cuenca,
04:47Ecuador and will address issues of great relevance for the development of the region's social
04:51sustainability and tourism.
04:54This meeting, which has been built through ongoing efforts of the intra-American business
04:58space, is a platform for dialogue and cooperation between business leaders, governments and
05:03international organizations.
05:05In recent months, multiple forums have been organized that have culminated in the creation
05:09of key documents, which will be addressed at this meeting and will serve as a roadmap
05:14to establish lines of action to promote the development and growth of Ibero-America.
05:25And in El Salvador, family members demand proof of life of prisoners under the emergency
05:29regime established on March 22, 2022, under the government of Nayib Bukele.
05:35Through the Proof of Life campaign, hundreds of Salvadoran families are demanding authorities
05:39to inform about the status of many people detained without clear evidence or valid charges.
05:44The lack of access to prisoners and prohibition offices have contributed to the uncertainty,
05:49since they do not know where their family members are or even if they are alive.
05:54According to reports from different human rights organizations, approximately 30,000
05:58of the 83,000 detainees are innocent.
06:09The Russian Minister of Emergency Situations, Alexander Kurenkov, arrived in Havana, Cuba,
06:14to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
06:17The high-ranking official was received by Russia's Ambassador to Cuba, Victor Coronelli,
06:22together with representatives of the Caribbean country.
06:25Besides the diplomat's visit, a much-strengthened bilateral cooperation in the area of natural
06:28disasters mitigation comes in the midst of the energy crisis the island faces after the
06:33strike of Hurricane Saúl's car and Rafael and the perceptible earthquake that hit the
06:37eastern region.

11:53a peaceful and orderly transition of power.
11:55The meeting will take place in the Oval Office and will be the first step in that process
11:59heading into Donald Trump's second term.

12:06Trump in the transfer of power, statements that contrast with the attitude of the Republicans
12:10following the 2020 elections.
12:17In the United States also, President-elect Donald Trump announced his choice of Tesla
12:21and social media ex-owner Elon Musk to head a new government efficiency department, along
12:26with former Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
12:29Trump claimed that together they will pave the way for his administration to dismantle
12:33government bureaucracy, reduce excess regulations, cut wasteful spending and restructure federal

13:10Civilian employees of this company were accused of encouraging U.S. soldiers to mistreat prisoners
13:15in Abu Ghraib in preparation for interrogations.
13:18The three survivors, a high school principal, a fruit vendor and a journalist, were given
13:22$14 million each in damages.

13:52outbreaks of forest fires in 51 communes, mainly in the regions of ValparaÃso, Metropolitana,
13:57Ogins and Maule.
13:59The declaration of Red Alert allowed the identification of areas that could have a higher risk of
14:04combustion and spread of forest fires.
14:06The National Forestry Corporation indicated that so far the fires have consumed 160 hectares
14:14in the areas of Los Molles, Quilpue and ValparaÃso.
14:19In view of the spread of the forest fires, the evacuation of residents in communes such

14:33Meanwhile in Cuba, until Tuesday afternoon, 1,966 aftershocks were registered after the

14:41According to the doctor of science Enrique Arango, head of the National Seismological
14:46Survey, 1,971 aftershocks were presumably perceptible and investigators will be able
14:51to determine soon the intensity of the earthquake of magnitude 6.7 on a research scale that
14:56shook the east of Cuba more than 48 hours ago.
14:59Cuban civil defense, party and government officials toured the provinces affected by
15:03the earthquake.

15:13in the Caribbean region in the morning of November 12th has formed a white sun of low
15:17pressure, forecasting the formation of a tropical storm that could become a hurricane.
15:21This system will move slowly over the next few days with a curse close to the west of
15:25the Western Caribbean Sea.
15:27There it will find favorable conditions, both atmospheric and sea level, for a better organization
15:34and development, with a high probability of becoming a tropical cyclone within two or
15:39three days.
15:40Since a cyclonic organism has not yet formed, and given the changeable nature of the atmosphere,
15:45neither the trajectory nor the intensity can be predicted with certainty.
