00:50Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters
00:54in Caracas, Venezuela.
00:55We will begin with the news, stay with us.
01:12The official report of the National Institute of Statistics and Census of Argentina revealed

01:37Likewise, economist Lavin Abraham points out that poverty has returned to the levels prior
01:42to the administration of Argentinian President Javier Millet, and warns that the index continues
01:48in alarming conditions.
01:50Statistics specialists also indicate that this report does not consider the decrease

03:13decline by 5.5% since the inauguration of the Millet government and points out that

04:35a Maryland father that would protect legal status and mistakenly departed him to El Salvador
04:42adding that U.S. court lacks jurisdiction to order his return from the mega prison where
04:46he is now locked up.

04:59center.
