00:00Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen accused the U.S. of exerting unacceptable
00:08pressure on the Greenland issue.
00:13And health authorities in Gaza reported that 792 Palestinians have been killed and 1,663
00:20injured in Israel who assumed its airstrikes.
00:27Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Televisa Studios in
00:31Caracas, Venezuela.
00:32We begin with the news, stay with us.
00:46During Grandparents of the Homeland Center inauguration, the President of Venezuela,
00:49Nicolás Maduro, reaffirmed his pledge to the Venezuelan people to repatriate the migrants
00:53detained in the United States.
00:55The head of state, Nicolás Maduro, pointed out during the event that they are already
00:59pursuing legal action against the Salvadoran government and that a heavy escorpus appeal
01:03was filed demanding the release of the Venezuelan migrants who were kidnapped by the U.S. and
01:08held in concentration camps in El Salvador.
01:11For his part, the Venezuelan leader pointed out that the actions of the United States
01:14against Venezuelan migrants are a violation of their human rights and demanded respect
01:18for the same.
01:19In this regard, President Maduro pointed out that the Bands of Coyotes were controlled
01:24from the U.S. by leaders of the Venezuelan far right.
01:36And our message has always been, we are going to have respectful relations, cooperation,
01:42communication.
01:43But there, they decided to attack the whole world.
01:52And the fascist extreme right here imposed a plan of aggression, first on the migrants,
01:57who are being persecuted, detained, disappearing.
02:01We have 238 missing migrants kidnapped in the United States and delivered to a Nazi
02:07concentration camp in El Salvador.
02:10We are there doing all the legal actions.
02:18A group of lawyers brought in a resource from habeas corpus in front of the court of
02:22justice in El Salvador.
02:24In the United States, groups of migrants are doing legal actions, but they are being persecuted.
02:31Where they appear, they are captured, humiliated, kicked, kidnapped.
02:35I will continue to advocate, determined and persevering as I am, to rescue, kidnap and
02:41free all Venezuelans who are in prison in the United States and the boys in El Salvador.
02:53The president of Venezuela demanded respect for Venezuelan migrants after the human rights
02:57violations of the United States government.
03:03Because they are separating the family, and they are giving us only men.
03:07No, no.
03:11They are separating them.
03:15They went to a city, got into the house, hit the boy, handcuffed him, hit his head in front
03:21of his two younger sons and his wife.
03:26They put a cricket on his wife, who is pregnant, and they won't let her leave her house.
03:32I demand from the U.S. government the respect for the human rights of Venezuelan migrants,
03:37who are noble and good people.
03:43The Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, said that the Coyotes gang are led by leaders
03:47of the Venezuelan far right and the United States.
03:56The Coyotes, the band of Coyotes from Venezuela, was led by, in the United States, Carlos Vecchio,
04:03Carlos Paparoni, write down the names, Carlos Vecchio, Carlos Paparoni, Miguel Pizarro,
04:12Carlos Vecchio, Carlos Paparoni, Miguel Pizarro, David Smolenki, pure jewel of the fascist
04:19jeweler.
04:26In addition, Leopoldo López, Maria Machado from here, Julio Borges, among others, and
04:32then they coordinated everything.
04:35Now they had a lot of power in the United States, because suddenly a boy, Pedro, from
04:40a neighborhood, paid, sold his motorcycle, sold everything.
04:45He paid $5,000, and they took him from Petar to Darien, and in five weeks he was in New
04:51York.
04:54In this context, thousands of citizens rallied through the streets of Caracas in support
05:01of the Venezuelan migrants taken under duress to El Salvador by Donald Trump's administration.
05:07Venezuelan authorities explained that the rallies are a response to those who want to
05:10mistreat Venezuelans in the world.
05:13Also at the same time of this activity, in all the Bolivar squares of the country, the
05:17collection of signatures in support of their prompt release continued.
05:20We now have our first break coming up.
05:27Remember to join us on TikTok to stay updated on everything happening around the world.
05:30And we will be right back after the break.
05:52Welcome back.
05:53In Bolivia, a new vaccination campaign was launched through the Rapid Monitoring System
05:57to detect infants and children who have not yet been immunized against a score of diseases.
06:02Our correspondent, Freddie Morales, has all the details.
06:08The so-called Rapid Vaccination Monitoring was initiated to reach almost 60,000 children
06:14under five years of age who, for whatever reason, did not receive their vaccination
06:18doses last year.
06:20It is in the urban areas where we are not achieving a higher coverage, but this is because
06:26of the high migration we have from urban to rural or vice versa.
06:29But generally in rural areas, all the families are well known by the health personnel.
06:34They know their name, their last name, how old they are, and they are more identified.
06:40But in urban areas, it is more difficult.
06:49Rapid monitoring will make it possible to evaluate immunization coverage in the nine
06:52departments and almost 4,000 Burgadas will be deployed in this campaign.
06:59Our coverage is in the 75 percent range.
07:04We aim to raise that to 85 to 95 percent.
07:06That's our goal.
07:11The campaign consists of checking, house by house, the status of children's vaccination
07:16records.
07:21When we do a rapid vaccination monitoring, we go and look for children who might have
07:24escaped from that age group and who might be older.
07:27We would have to go and recover them, vaccinating these children, in order to avoid the risk
07:31of transmission of diseases such as measles due to the epidemiological alerts that are
07:36issued at the international level.
07:45Health professionals consider that the anti-vaccine campaign that manifested itself during the
07:50COVID pandemic has been overcome, which should be verified in daily consultations.
07:55In this time, the COVID vaccines have been very important.
07:59Now I have had seven patients who have passed COVID, but they are not in serious condition.
08:04They had to be taken to therapy as they were totally discomposed.
08:08Now it is like a cold, but they have to be treated.
08:12Vaccinations have lowered that level of lethality that COVID had.
08:19Rapid vaccination monitoring is carried out in the country's 340 municipalities.
08:24The state provides the 12 doses to be applied between birth and five years of age, which
08:29prevent 20 diseases.
08:31Vaccinations are also offered free of charge for senior citizens and vulnerable groups
08:35against COVID and influenza.
08:43In Paraguay, dozens of social movements took to the streets to protest against the anti-popular
08:47policies of the government of Santiago Peña.
08:49This is the first of three days of protests in the country.
08:52Let's see more in the following report.
08:58Paraguay began a week of mobilizations to repudiate the deterioration of the quality
09:02of life, the anti-working class policies and the corruption prevailing in the government
09:07of the conservative Colorado party and the president of the country.
09:13Here we have comrades who come from the health sector, demanding health, education, better
09:18employment, better wages, land for the peasants, for the indigenous people.
09:27All these problems lead us to the same path, which is corruption, because corruption affects
09:31the quality of life of our compatriots, especially of the most vulnerable sectors.
09:39Just a hundred organizations carried out 70 protests in different parts of the country.
09:44According to the social leaders, the Peña government is a direct attack on the right
09:48to health and education, while at the same time, it is subject to multiple accusations
09:53of corruption.
09:56Zero hunger.
09:57That's the name of the project.
09:59My son goes to a public school where the canteen sells a plate of food for 12,000 guaranis,
10:03but the suppliers of the food program sell it for 25,000.
10:07Zero hunger, but only for those who sell the food to the students.
10:16Indigenous communities also join the mobilizations to demand historical demands, such as respect
10:21for their territories and the right to a healthy environment.
10:26We come from Paso Yobai to claim our rights in relation to mining exploitation.
10:32We want to stop the contamination, and that is why we are taking to the streets and also
10:36accompanying the struggle of our peasant brothers and sisters.
10:45We came to present our claims accompanied by our peasant comrades, with the Eastern
10:51Indigenous Federation.
10:55We took the opportunity to make our claim for the land of our community.
11:05The elimination of the minimum wage, the lack of medicines and intensive care units
11:09in hospitals, as well as the incidence of organized crime in institutions, are some
11:13of the factors that lead social and political organizations to continue protesting against
11:18what they consider to be a bad government.
11:20Osvaldo Salles, Telesur, Asunción, Paraguay.
11:23In other news, Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen accused the U.S. of exerting unacceptable
11:30pressure on the Greenland issue.
11:32Frederiksen made her statement after it was announced that a U.S. delegation would visit
11:36the island this week.
11:38The visit would be composed of U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, Second Lady of the U.S., and Michael
11:45Walsh, National Security Advisor, in addition to the Vice President, who was not initially
11:51expected to be part of the delegation.
11:53In this sense, Frederiksen has rejected that it is a private visit, pointing out that those
11:58attending are official representatives of another country.
12:01It is important to note that the Prime Minister has also said in another statement that the
12:05threats of the U.S. President about wanting to annex Greenland should be taken seriously.
12:15In this context, the U.S. strategy to justify Vice President J.D. Vance's visit to Greenland
12:20without setting off diplomatic conflict has been to visit a U.S. military base on the
12:24island, as Vance suggested in an online video that global security was at stake.
12:29In this sense, analysts say that although the U.S. is allowed to visit the base, the
12:33visit is controversial.
12:59It's more seen as a kind of intimidation.
13:03So it's an unpleasant surprise that we now see J.D.
13:06Vance also announcing his visit to Greenland.
13:11We now have our second break coming up before we invite you, as always, to visit our Facebook
13:15page and find what we have over there.
13:18Stay tuned with us. We'll be right back.
13:30Welcome back.
13:44Health authorities in Gaza reported on Tuesday that 792 Palestinians have been killed and
13:481,663 injured since Israel resumed its airstrikes on March 18.
13:54The latest 24-hour period saw 62 more lives lost than 296 wounded individuals rushed to
13:59hospitals across Gaza, bringing the total death toll to 50,144 and the number of injured
14:06to 113,704 since the conflict began in early October 2023.
14:13The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed that its ground operations are ravaging multiple
14:17locations across Gaza, with the forces having advanced into the Nessarim Corridor in the
14:21central Gaza Strip, occupying about half of it.
14:24The occupation forces claim that over 150 members of Palestinian resistance groups have
14:28been killed since military operations resumed.
14:38Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced on Tuesday that he had approved the operational
14:42plan for the Forces' Gaza Division to continue its military assault on Gaza.
14:47The decision follows a meeting with senior military officials and comes amid reports
14:51that Israel is planning a comprehensive strategy to crush Palestinians and occupy the Gaza
14:55Strip.
14:56The plan involved deploying multiple combat divisions to re-invade Gaza, seize control
15:01of large areas and forcibly confine the 2.2 million Palestinian population into a restricted
15:07humanitarian zone along the Mediterranean coast.
15:10The Israeli army would then assume control over Gaza, dictating the distribution of humanitarian
15:14aid and even calculating the caloric intake for Palestinians.
15:18Moving on, a severe HIV crisis is unfolding in Ethiopia's Tigray region following a
15:28devastating two-year conflict.
15:30Once a model for HIV prevention with a prevalence rate of 1.4%, Tigray now faces a more than
15:37double rate of 3%.
15:39The situation is particularly dire among displaced populations where the prevalence is 5.5% and
15:44survivors of sexual violence who experience rates as high as 8.6%.
15:49The war has ravaged Tigray's healthcare system, leaving only 17% of health facilities operational
15:54and severely limiting access to antiretroviral therapy and other essential services.
15:59The crisis has been exacerbated by U.S. aid cuts under the Trump administration, which
16:03have resulted in the dismissal of 5,000 healthcare workers and the cessation of vital support
16:08services for HIV patients.
16:15Kilauea, Hawaii's most active volcano, resumed its sporadic eruption on Tuesday, marking
16:32the 15th episode of its ongoing eruption cycle that began on December 23, 2024.
16:37The eruption restarted at midday when molten rock began flowing from a vent in Kilauea's
16:42summit within Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park.
16:45The lava remained confined within the caldera, posing no threat to nearby residential areas.
16:50Each time Kilauea erupts, it produces spectacular fountains of lava that can reach heights of
16:55up to 220 meters, creating a dramatic display for visitors to the park.
17:00The previous episodes have varied in duration, with the shortest lasting 13 hours and the
17:05longest extending for eight days.
17:07The intervals between episodes have ranged from 24 hours to 12 days.
17:25And in China, several subway stations have become exhibition halls for cultural elements
17:29in order to bring culture closer to the country's inhabitants.
17:32Let's see.
17:34A total of 13 subway stations across China incorporate novel designs and cultural exhibits
17:43through traditional elements and objects, offering a unique charm to commuters who pass
17:47through these places every day.
17:49The various exhibits at the stops combine local heritage with contemporary decorations,
17:53from murals painted on the platforms to pillars adorned with square lanterns and shadow theater
17:58figures, alluding to the traditional practice of the Lantern Festival.
18:02One of the cities favored with this art is Xi'an, in the northeast of the country, where
18:06the stations show the coexistence between traditional culture and modern technology.
18:15Another of the main features of this station is that it also has an installation of lights
18:18that can change color, highlighting the modern and technological atmosphere in the place.
18:23Other areas with cultural exhibits are located in Beijing, where traditional Chinese elements
18:28were placed, and the ceiling was decorated with more than a thousand lanterns, each one
18:32adorned with brightly colored flowers, symbolizing good wishes.
18:36In addition, one corridor is decorated with a large mural inspired by the famous Ming
18:40dynasty, painting an entitled image of the Shangyuan Lantern.
18:49The design of Hanyao Station was conceived with the idea that it would not just be a
18:52subway station, but a subway space that combines culture and technology, serving as a calling
18:58card of the city.
18:59When passengers enter the station, they can experience both the ancient charm of Xi'an
19:03and its technological advances.
19:10Like these, many other cities in China also offer a variety of cultural displays to passengers
19:15and visitors, such as Qingdu and the Jinsha Site Museum, where a history of approximately
19:203,000 years of the ancient Shu civilization is on display.
19:24All these actions aim to bring Chinese culture closer to all the country's inhabitants as
19:29they go about their daily work.
19:31Like this, we have come to the end of this news brief.
