00:00The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, has denounced that Israel has
00:13bombed 27 hospitals and 12 medical centers in Gaza.
00:20In Haiti, nearly 11,000 citizens have left their homes in the last week due to attacks
00:25by criminal groups.
00:30And Venezuela finalizes preparations for the investiture of President Nicolás Maduro this
00:35January 10th.
00:44Hello welcome from the south, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Televisual Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:50We begin with the news.
01:08The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, has denounced that Israel has
01:12bombed 27 hospitals and 12 medical centers in Gaza.
01:16Turk stated that Israeli attacks during the nearly 15 months of conflict have left 100,000
01:20wounded, of whom many have died while awaiting treatment due to lack of access to medical
01:25care.
01:26He also noted the increasing obstacles imposed by Israel on UN agencies and other humanitarian
01:31organizations seeking to provide aid in Gaza.
01:34The Commissioner also stressed that the intentional targeting of hospitals constitutes a war crime
01:40And since the start of the war on October 7th, 2023, Israel has refused to allow independent
01:45investigations into its actions in Gaza and has blocked journalists' access to the conflict
01:50zone.
01:51In Palestine, the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance claims that Israel is carrying
01:59out sadistic crimes and brutal terrorism with the help of the United States, the United
02:04Kingdom and other Western nations.
02:06Bassem Naim, former Minister of Health in the Gaza Strip, also referred to the destruction
02:11of the health infrastructure of the Palestinian enclave, especially in the north, and said
02:15that it is one of the most heinous crimes committed in the 15 months of Israeli genocidal
02:20operations.
02:21He described the Zionist actions supported by the West as flagrant violations of international
02:26law, the United Nations Charter and basic human values.
02:30Likewise, on the anniversary of the assassination of Sheikh Zalhouti, they called for unity
02:37and reaffirmed their commitment to resistance.
02:43In Palestine, the Ministry of Health reported that at least 77 people were killed and 145
02:49injured following attacks by the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip.
02:53The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that with this attack, the number of victims
02:57of the Israeli genocide in the enclave since October 7, 2003 amounted to 45,658 dead and
03:04more than 108,000 wounded.
03:07In this regard, at an emergency meeting requested by Algeria to the UN Security Council to discuss
03:12the Israeli attacks on Palestine, the World Health Organization provided verified data
03:16of 654 attacks on health facilities in the Gaza Strip with hundreds of deaths and injuries.
03:26Pro-Palestinian humanitarian organizations denounced the situation of children in the
03:30Gaza Strip amidst the ongoing Israeli siege.
03:33Humanitarian activists described as dire the living situation in the coastal enclave during
03:372024.
03:38They also denounced that in the absence of a ceasefire, occupation troops are advancing
03:43their genocidal operation, killing thousands of innocent people, including hundreds of
03:47children.
03:48To this is added the arrival of winter, in the context of which children lost their lives
03:53due to prolonged exposure to low temperatures, as they did not have the resources or adequate
03:58shelter to take refuge.
04:04Under Russian representative to the United Nations, Vassily Nebensy appointed to the
04:08administration of the President of the United States Joe Biden as responsible for the war
04:13crimes perpetrated by Israel in Gaza.
04:15The statement was made during an emergency session of the Security Council convened because
04:19of the extreme medical health situation in the Strip.
04:22Experts invited to the enclave explained that Israel has destroyed the health system
04:26of the Palestinian enclave.
04:28In this context, the United States representative Dorothy Shia defended the attack on the health
04:32centers, assuring that Hamas used them to store weapons, a fact that has never been proven
04:38in the 15 months of the genocidal operation against Gaza.
04:48In these circumstances, the director-general of the WHO, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, who,
04:54as we all remember a few days ago, miraculously survived an Israeli attack at the Sinai airport,
04:59announced that the health sector in Gaza is under serious threat and called on the Israeli
05:03authorities to cease their attacks on medical institutions and to release the leaders and
05:07medical staff of the Camelot Hospital in Gaza.
05:10He announced that the health sector in Gaza is under serious threat and called on the
05:14Israeli authorities to cease their attacks on medical institutions and to release the
05:18leaders and medical staff of the Camelot Hospital in Gaza, who were detained during the Israeli
05:25military incursion.
05:26But this call clearly fell on deaf ears.
05:29In West Jerusalem, the response was an Israeli attack on the hospital.
05:33Like the Al-Aqsa Hospital, many people were killed and dozens wounded.
05:37The inhumanity of Israel's actions, which depend on the unreserved support of Washington,
05:41is becoming increasingly clear.
05:45The government of Iran reaffirmed its readiness to immediately engage in constructive negotiations
05:50with the West over its nuclear program if this leads to a new agreement.
05:54At the end of December, the Iranian Foreign Ministry revealed that a new round of negotiations
05:58between Tehran, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Iran's nuclear program could take
06:03place in January 2025.
06:05On November 29, Switzerland hosted the negotiations on the nuclear program between Tehran and
06:10these Western countries.
06:11A week earlier, the International Atomic Energy Agency adopted a resolution promoted by Germany,
06:16the United States and France without taking into account the results of the business trip
06:20to Iran by the agency's Director General, Rafael Grossi.
06:32Let's take a short break now, but first remember you can join us on TikTok at TeleSul English
06:37where you'll find news in different formats.
06:39News updates and much more.
06:41We'll be right back, stay with us.
06:50Welcome back.
06:51French authorities issue an urgent alert in 30 departments due to the threat of snow and
06:56black ice.
06:57The National Meteorological Service reported that snow will affect the northern territories
07:00of the country, particularly central and eastern regions.
07:04The agency also warned that snowfalls will be accompanied by freezing rain, expected
07:08to last between one and three hours, those causing difficulties for road traffic.
07:13The National Meteorological Service urged the population to be alert to the weather
07:17and to follow the authorities' recommendations.
07:24The so-called Coral Revolutions are threatening the upcoming presidential elections in Belarus
07:28to be held on January 26, 2025.
07:31There are currently five registered candidates vying for the presidency, including incumbent
07:35President Alexander Lukashenko.
07:36Let's see more.
07:39The pre-election campaign began in Belarus on January 1, ahead of the presidential elections
07:45of the republic, scheduled for January 26, 2025.
07:49Despite the apparent political stability in the country, the West has started a strong
07:55campaign of sabotage, and the opposition is preparing marches and all kinds of provocations
08:00in the style of Euromaidan in Kiev, with the participation of far-right groups and foreign
08:04agents.
08:09More than 45,000 Polish military personnel are already stationed on the northwestern
08:14border of Belarus, many of them from elite corps, and this number continues to grow.
08:19In addition to Lithuania, where a new base is constantly being built and military equipment,
08:24including both free troops and heavy armored vehicles, is being increased under the guise
08:28of military exercises.
08:30After the last elections in 2020, the situation became so serious that Lukashenko had to take
08:41up arms himself.
08:46This time, there seems to be no candidate nominated by the West, whose aim is always
08:50to disregard the official election results in order to start destabilizing the situation
08:54in the country immediately after the votes are counted.
09:02Poland will try to overthrow Alexander Lukashenko.
09:05Trump does not recognize it.
09:07The U.S. State Department has just issued a statement that U.S. citizens should leave
09:11Belarus because they are preparing destabilization in our allied republic.
09:20We do not rule out that there may be some provocations.
09:24But it won't happen, because we won't allow it.
09:27Because we know who does it.
09:29Recently, Mike Pompeo, who we met with, former director of the CIA and then head of the State
09:36Department, was in Belarus.
09:38He said yes, they couldn't organize a color revolution in Belarus, well, what other proof
09:43do we need that they interfered in our elections and wanted to destroy the country?
09:52Belarus is Russia's main ally and, as such, has become a headache for NATO.
09:56An attack against the country could come from Poland, Lithuania or Ukraine.
10:01According to KGB reports, Belarus has been warning about the preparation of provocations
10:05since November last year.
10:10The West is most probably preparing some kind of attack to seize several territories.
10:20The KGB has already reported that, with the help of Polish and Ukrainian volunteers, several
10:25terrorist groups are being prepared that can enter the border territories, seize separate
10:29points and from there declare that they are liberating territories from the dictatorship
10:33of President Lukashenko.
10:40This is one of the variants, and the other is that large launching units may enter the
10:44western territories of the region.
10:51Western political strategists have enormous experience in organizing anti-government unrest
10:56around the world.
10:57The attempted color revolution in Minsk in 2020 was finally thwarted, as well as in Georgia
11:02at the end of last year.
11:03The West is once again taking a gamble on Belarus, as its role in the geopolitical landscape
11:09is now more important than ever.
11:16South Korea is currently experiencing its worst political crisis in decades, with impeached
11:21President Jun Suk-gyo defying an arrest warrant from the Corruption Investigation Office.
11:26Jun's supporters have rallied at his official residence, leading to a standoff that forced
11:3130 officials to retreat after being confronted by protesters and military personnel.
11:36Jun's legal team claims the warrant is illegal and has filed an injunction against the CIO,
11:41which expressed regret over the situation and stated that executing the warrant was
11:46practically impossible due to ongoing confrontations.
11:50While some analysts believe Jun's political power is waning and he should resign for the
11:53nation's stability, others argue he still retains substantial support, with as much
11:58as 40% of South Koreans backing him.
12:04And in Haiti, nearly 11,000 citizens have fled their homes in the last week due to attacks
12:08by criminal groups.
12:09The International Organization for Migration confirmed this in its recent report published
12:15on Friday.
12:16The United Nations Affiliated Organization detailed that the Post-Marchand neighborhood
12:20in Port-au-Prince experienced violent attacks in the middle of Christmas celebrations and
12:24that in less than one week, 10,867 people were forced to seek refuge.
12:29The organization also added that 95% of these people were sheltered in 18 sites, including
12:35four newly created sites and 14 that existed prior to the incidents.
12:38It is important to emphasize that about 800,000 people are internally displaced in Haiti as
12:44a result of armed conflict.
12:46Like this, we have come to a second short break, but before, we invite you to visit
12:55our YouTube channel at Telesol English, there you will be able to rewatch our interviews,
12:59top stories, special broadcastings and more.
13:01We'll be right back after a short break.
13:12Welcome back.
13:13Venezuela finalizes preparations for the swearing-in ceremony of President Nicolás Maduro this
13:18January 10th.
13:19The National Directorate of Military and Counterintelligence reported from the airbase of La Carlota,
13:24located in the east of the Bavarian capital, that 1,200 troops have been deployed throughout
13:29the national territory, whose work, as on other occasions, will be to ensure that the
13:33Venezuelan people live peacefully and democratically in their political and social processes.
13:39Military commanders have recalled that, as has happened before, the civil-military alliance
13:43will guard the constitutional mandate that requires the investiture of Nicolás Maduro
13:47in the Venezuelan Parliament.
13:53And in Venezuela, cyclists took to the streets of Caracas in what they call Rolling for Peace
13:58and Joy, with more details from our correspondent, Leonardo Urieta.
14:03Children, youngsters and senior citizens arrived with their bicycles at the Laguno Bridge in
14:11Caracas to participate in the activity, Rolling for Peace and Joy.
14:16The truth is that I am very happy to have the opportunity to drive again.
14:20A lot of competition against other categories.
14:24I felt very good, very, very good.
14:30They ran 26 kilometers starting from the west of the capital.
14:33Giovanna DeGiro, 55 years old, highlights that there is no age to do sports.
14:39Age does not matter.
14:41I am 55 years old, and I learned to ride my bike less than two years ago.
14:45Age does not matter.
14:47What matters is wanting to do it.
14:51Peace and tranquility is breathed in the streets.
14:56They keep saying that Venezuela is falling apart,
14:58and it turns out that here we live in a different way.
15:01What can I say?
15:02This is joy.
15:02This is tranquility, happiness, and this is what we want in the country.
15:08The participants welcome this type of activities
15:11implemented by the Venezuelan government for peace and peaceful coexistence.
15:21The Argentine government of Javier Millet intends to transfer the Paraná River trunk
15:27waterway to multinationals.
15:29The privatization implies customs control in several stages of the second largest waterway
15:33in Latin America.
15:34Correspondent Ignacio Lemus has the details.
15:40There is a place where, long before colonization and borders,
15:43the histories and diversity of South American peoples are connected.
15:47A place where communities feed themselves, develop their economies,
15:50and mobilize their culture together with nature.
15:52The Paraná is the 14th longest river on the planet,
15:56a vital ecosystem that crosses eight Argentine provinces and supports almost 12 million people.
16:06It is part of me.
16:07It is part of my life.
16:11The Paraná River is a place that means a lot to us because we go fishing.
16:15We go for walks.
16:16It is a nice place for us.
16:18We have an area where we go to be, to have a good time.
16:24After the end of the concession in 2001,
16:27the government of Javier Millet announced the reprivatization of the Paraná River
16:31with the possibility of dredging up to approximately 13 meters.
16:35A resumption of the process initiated during the neoliberal wave of the 90s
16:39when the state's action on port activity was interrupted.
16:47A reprivatization for 30 years until 2055,
16:51with a possible extension of 30 more years until 2085 to continue plundering Argentina.
17:02To continue stealing Argentina's wealth in this bleeding vein that is the Paraná River,
17:07which is Argentina's main waterway from where 80% of Argentina's exports come from.
17:16On November 20th, National Sovereignty Day,
17:19the Millet government announced the terms of the river concession
17:22and recently the Argentine government decided to dissolve the general port administration
17:26that manages transportation on the Paraná.
17:28The absence of the state in the control of customs inspection at various stages
17:32implies potential facilities for tax evasion and drug trafficking by private actors.
17:42They are saying that the national government is definitely withdrawing from the Paraná River.
17:46Which is stated in Article 9 of a 200-page bidding document that it will be the Secretary
17:52of Control of Doubtful Assets of the United States to know which will be the foreign company
17:56that will manage the dredging, beaconing and tolling of the Paraná River.
18:03This is shocking. It is the United States that defines who will operate the Paraná River.
18:11The section of the Paraná that runs through Argentina
18:14is the end of the route of what is known as the Paraguay-Paraná waterway.
18:18That is to say, the largest waterway in South America from where soybeans from Brazil
18:22and Paraguay leave for other continents.
18:24For Congressman Carlos Del Frey, the dispute over the Paraná
18:28is today even more important than that of the Malvinas Islands.
18:37Not only are they going to pay less taxes, but they are also going to receive more money in
18:41return because they are going to exaggerate in over-importing so that the state will return
18:44money to them and then, since security will be reduced to the multinationals.
18:48We are not going to find out which ships are leaving from here loaded with tons of
18:51cocaine to different parts of the world as has happened in the last four years.
18:59Imagine that in one port, imagine that in 79 ports. They will draw the numbers for you.
19:06Currently in Santa Fe, the U.S. company Cargill owns two ports a few meters from where artisanal
19:11fishermen work for less than a minimum monthly wage,
19:15and this logic is repeated in different stretches of the river.
19:17On the other hand, environmental organizations warn that the lack of state control,
19:22over-dredging has resulted in the dissemination of garbage that obstructs the tributaries
19:26where riverbank communities live.
