00:00 In Argentina, Senate approved the income tax reform proposed by Minister and Presidential
00:13 candidate Sergio Maza.
00:17 In Pakistan, authorities confirmed that a suicide bomb attack on religious gatherings
00:22 killed more than 50 people.
00:26 In Asia, the Pan-Africa's leader, Kemi Seba, called for the liberation of the African people
00:31 from the neocolonialism of the Western powers in mass action held in the French base in
00:36 the EMA.
00:39 Hello, welcome to From the South.
00:44 I'm Ana Rosa Vald from the Television Studios in Havana, Cuba, where we begin with the news.
00:49 On Thursday, the President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, asked the Colombian authorities to
00:54 coordinate joint actions to tackle illegal mining that affects both nations.
00:59 The Venezuelan head of state made these statements during the 18th anniversary of the Strategic
01:04 Operational Command of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces.
01:08 The President congratulated the military forces for successfully concluding the so-called Operation
01:14 Autana in Yapacana National Park in the state of Amazonas.
01:19 The Venezuelan President reiterated his call to the Colombian government to work together
01:23 and eradicate illegal mining in the Amazon region.
01:31 Where do these mafias operate exactly inside Colombia?
01:35 Because we have to coordinate well with the Minister of Defense, with the Colombian public
01:40 force, because we have to tell the Colombian public force, the Minister of Defense, that
01:46 they have to accompany us in this battle, because they come from Colombia to destroy
01:51 the Venezuelan Amazon, to destroy nature, the rivers, to enrich themselves.
01:57 Mafias that go against the Venezuelan state, against the Colombian state.
02:02 In Brazil, the Senate Plenary approved the bill that sets the temporary framework for
02:07 indigenous lands.
02:09 The bill was approved on Wednesday during a plenary session with 43 votes in favor and
02:14 21 against.
02:16 This initiative states that the indigenous people will only be able to claim ownership
02:20 of the areas they occupy permanently before October 5, 1998, the date of the promulgation
02:27 of the Constitution.
02:29 The bill is in response to the decision of the Federal Supreme Court, which last Thursday
02:34 ruled that the temporary framework invoked to stop the demarcation of indigenous territories
02:39 as contrary to the constitutional framework.
02:43 Likewise, on Wednesday, the Supreme Court of Brazil decided that the owners of territories
02:51 or lands on indigenous lands will receive compensation if the areas are expropriated
02:56 in favor of the native people.
02:59 Indigenous organizations pointed out that the proposal is a reward for illegal invaders.
03:05 They also warned that the breach opened by the Supreme Court will encourage the illegal
03:09 occupation of lands with public funds, which implies violence against their people.
03:15 A study by the Agribusiness and Rural Policy Observatory revealed that 95.5% of a list,
03:23 1,692 overlapping farms on indigenous lands are located in territories pending demarcation.
03:34 In Brazil, one of Jair Bolsonaro's most trusted aides has struck a plea bargain deal
03:39 with the federal police and is accusing the former president and other top-level officials
03:44 of plotting military coup last November.
03:46 In Brazil, FED correspondent Brian Meyer has more.
03:51 Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, ex-President Bolsonaro's former personal assistant, has
03:57 struck a plea bargain deal with the federal police, who have revealed that he is accusing
04:01 a group of top officials of trying to overturn last year's presidential election results.
04:09 We have heard from Mauro Cid's plea bargain testimony is that a criminal organization
04:15 was created to orchestrate a coup d'état, a violent abolition of the rule of law, which
04:26 didn't just involve Bolsonaro.
04:32 It also involved former Justice Minister Anderson Torres and General Heleno.
04:41 After Cid's allegations went public, President Bolsonaro's former institutional security
04:45 chief, General Augusto Heleno, was called to Congress to testify.
04:49 Heleno has a long history of anti-democratic activities dating from the days of the dictatorship,
04:55 when he worked with General Silvio Frota, leader of a fascist internal faction of the
04:59 army that disobeyed orders to stop executing political prisoners.
05:03 Heleno began by claiming Cid had never sat in on meetings between Bolsonaro and military
05:08 leaders.
05:09 Look who's there in the presidential palace in a meeting with the defense minister and
05:13 the commander of the armed forces, that's Mauro Cid right there.
05:17 And General Heleno said he didn't go to meetings with the commanders of the armed forces.
05:22 If you'd like, I can pull up the video, you just say this.
05:25 As the investigation continues, a lot of powerful people in Brasilia are getting nervous over
05:30 Mauro Cid's deal with the federal police.
05:34 Brian Meir, tell us, sir.
05:37 Recife.
05:38 With 38 votes in favor and 22 against, the Argentine Senate approved the modification
05:44 of the income tax, a proposal promoted by the minister and presidential candidate, Sergio
05:49 Massa.
05:50 After 18 hours of session, the repeal of the fourth category of income tax became law,
05:55 creating a tax for only those who earn more than 15 minimum living wages as of 2024.
06:02 This initiative creates a new tax on income from a certain amount, together with a progressive
06:08 tax on the surplus that goes from 27% to 35%.
06:13 Massa also announced that these actions are for the benefit of the country's economy.
06:18 With the approval of the law, only income will be taxed with a schedule of tax separate
06:24 from the determination of the current progressive scale and will not be subject to any other
06:29 tax.
06:33 In Argentina, women's and diversity collective marched to commemorate the global date of
06:38 action for access to legal, safe and free abortion.
06:42 The mobilization is called for 4 p.m. local time from Plaza de Mayo to the Congress under
06:47 the slogan "Freedom is Ours" and will be repeated in various provinces.
06:52 The march will also be against the right-wing or ultra-right parties, pointing out that
06:57 if they win the presidency, it would mean the loss of federal rights for the community.
07:06 And now we go back to Spain, where Argentine women also take a stand against the advance
07:10 of the extreme right in their country in view of the upcoming elections in October.
07:16 Argentine women in Spain set their position against the advance of the extreme right win
07:20 in view of the upcoming October elections.
07:23 Within the framework of the global date of action for legal, safe and accessible abortion,
07:28 they defend their democratic freedoms such as the right to organize and mobilize for
07:33 the rights and a decent future.
07:35 The demonstrators expressed their concern for the rise of these political phenomena
07:40 and highlighted the need to continue to struggle to maintain rights conquered.
07:45 And they also described the extreme right as a real threat for the conquest of the women's
07:50 movements around the world.
07:52 Let's take a short break but remember you can join us on Twitter @TalSodEnglish where
08:00 we'll find news in different formats, new dates and more.
08:06 Other studies coming up, stay with us.
08:08 Welcome back.
08:35 The Spanish people united in consideration, support and solidarity with the territory
08:40 of Western Sahara to evaluate the current situation so that the land still in dispute
08:45 is respected.
08:46 The Spanish population has asked the European Union that the next fishing agreements with
08:51 the government of Morocco do not include the water of the Western Sahara.
08:56 The United Nations has qualified these lands as non-self-governing following the decolonization
09:01 processes that have taken place in the 70s when the country was invaded by Moroccans.
09:08 What we want is that the European Union respects us, that its delegates leave our fishing until
09:19 we get our independence.
09:20 And we will do with it what we want because it is unjust what they are doing to us.
09:27 They are stealing our wealth and they are in agreement with the government of Morocco
09:32 about our country.
09:36 In the next agreement that the European Union makes with Morocco, leave out the Western
09:40 Sahara.
09:41 The Western Sahara is not Morocco.
09:44 It is an independent state that still remains to be decolonized.
09:48 And it is Spain's responsibility to make that decolonization happen.
09:54 In the Netherlands, several people were killed and many injured in two-gun attacks in the
09:58 city of Rotterdam.
09:59 A man shot at a house where a woman and her children were staying.
10:04 Another similar incident occurred at the Erasmus University Medical Center.
10:09 The shooter also shot at a group of people in a sick room.
10:13 The asylum-seekers set fire to four of the hospitals before being arrested by authorities
10:17 on the building's helipad.
10:23 On Thursday, the Italian Council of Ministers approved the measures to fight the current
10:28 migration crisis in the region.
10:30 According to the communique, the agency informed that within the norms of the initiative, the
10:35 norms related to the special procedure for the processing of the request for international
10:40 protection were modified.
10:43 The measure establishes that if the request for asylum is repetitive, the police commissioner
10:48 may proceed with the deportation of migrants from the national territory.
11:10 Greece's fire department reported on Thursday that hundreds of people were rescued from
11:15 floods due to the new storm that hit the country just after floods left 17 people dead.
11:21 According to authorities, emergency services assisted more than 250 people in the region
11:27 surrounding the central city of Volos, where a curfew was declared on Wednesday that stormed
11:32 Elias, mainland.
11:34 The atmospheric event also hit the island of Euboea, causing emergency traffic restrictions
11:39 in the north of the island.
11:46 Only this week, they finished cleaning from starvania.
11:50 Yesterday it started raining from noon, but we thought it was a small shower.
11:55 We didn't expect the embankment to rake again and to flood the area.
12:00 This is what happened.
12:01 We are back to square one.
12:03 And we go now to Mosul, where the Razvochek International Forum was held.
12:08 The Russian Academy of Sciences.
12:11 At this event, environmental protection from harmful emissions was one of the main topics
12:15 addressed by participants.
12:17 What other topics were discussed?
12:19 TVBreeze reporter Basilico Yusef brings us all the details.
12:24 One of the main topics of the Razvochek International Forum held in Moscow at the Russian Academy
12:30 of Sciences was environmental protection from harmful emissions.
12:34 According to the participants of the meeting, environmental safety issues are becoming more
12:39 and more important in the context of global growth of industrial production.
12:45 Production of pharmaceutical substances is one of the most harmful industries.
12:50 A lot is being done in this direction.
12:52 As if we need medicines, but we should not, as doctors say, cure one thing and cripple
12:59 another.
13:00 So, pharmaceutical manufacturers must be responsible.
13:06 Farouk Mir is a representative of one of several tens of thousands of large Indian pharmaceutical
13:11 companies.
13:12 Almost every one of them, Farouk says, has its own factories, which have been under close
13:18 government control for many years.
13:20 The responsibility of the business owners themselves plays an important role in reducing
13:25 emissions.
13:29 We have trade main units at all of our plants for every emission.
13:37 As I said, this process is mandatory now so that these industries do not cause global
13:43 pollution and global disasters.
13:49 In Africa, as Zenebe Kinfu, president of the Union of African Diasporas in Russia, says,
13:55 drought remains one of the main environmental problems.
13:59 Here, according to a foreign participant, the technology used in Russia during public
14:03 holidays could be useful.
14:07 We need to attract technologies that allow us to disperse rain, to attract clouds.
14:13 We remember how they disperse the clouds before May night in Moscow.
14:20 You can call there, there is such technology, many countries have such technology, but Africans
14:29 are not using it much yet.
14:33 Another important topic discussed by Rosbiotech participants was modern methods of analyzing
14:39 air and water conditions.
14:42 At the Faculty of Physics, we are developing a device for early diagnosis and monitoring
14:47 of pollution.
14:48 This is based on scanning probe microscopy.
14:51 The probe microscope can detect tiny impurities in pure water.
14:58 The experience of cooperation between Bryan State University and the government of Vietnam
15:03 can be considered interesting and productive, meeting participants say.
15:08 According to Vu Kach Nguyen, advisor to the president of the republic, several years ago,
15:13 one scientist helped launch a project in Vietnam to grow fruits, vegetables, and other crops
15:19 without soil.
15:20 Today, according to Nguyen, the farmers involved in the experiment can already boast a good
15:25 harvest.
15:26 Thanks to technology from our friends in Russia, we are growing not only potatoes, oranges,
15:34 and pomelos, but also rice and coffee.
15:38 We can use agricultural land more efficiently and save water.
15:44 Rosbiotech has become a platform for business negotiations.
15:47 On the margins of the forum, developers of innovative products in the field of environmental
15:52 protection were able to meet directly with industrialists and investors.

16:39 In Pakistan, authorities confirmed on Friday that a suicide bomb attack on a religious
16:44 gathering to commemorate the Prophet Mohammed's birthday left more than 50 people dead.
16:50 City Police Station official Mohamed Javed added that in addition to the half a hundred
16:56 dead, more than 100 people are also reported injured.
17:00 The explosion took place in the Mason District as worshippers were preparing for a procession
17:06 near the mosque.
17:08 In the sense, Mohamed Javed also confirmed the group has claimed responsibility for the
17:12 attack so far.
17:15 The incident is the second explosion to take place in Mustang this month at a time of rising
17:20 violence.
17:21 On Thursday in Niger, the Pan-Africa's leader, Kemi Seba, held a multitudinous act next to
17:31 the French base in Yemé, where he called for the liberation of the people of Africa
17:36 from the neocolonialism of the Western powers.
17:38 Thousands of demonstrators gathered in the Nigerian capital for an act of protest called
17:44 by Kemi Seba, a leader of the organization urging questions of African nationalism, and
17:50 considered one of the spokesmen of the Pan-Africa's movement.
17:54 Seba, in his speech, called for an end to Western neocolonialism and the overthrow of
17:59 the president of countries such as Benin, Ivory Coast, and Senegal subordinated to the
18:04 interests of Europe.
18:07 He also condemned the sanctions imposed on Yemen and declared that Pan-Africanism is
18:11 not afraid of these actions that seek to intimidate the search for freedom of the nation and the
18:16 world.
18:17 In China, President Xi Jinping reiterated his call for reunification with Taiwan during
18:27 a reception dinner at the Great Hall of the People ahead of China's National Day.
18:32 The Asian Giant is set to mark the 74th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of
18:37 China.
18:38 "We must adhere to the One China principle and the 1992 consensus, promote the peaceful
18:45 development of cross-strait relations, deepen cross-strait integration and development,
18:51 safeguard the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation, and enhance the well-being
18:56 of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
19:05 Releasing complete reunification of the country is the common aspiration of the people, the
19:10 trend of the times, and the inevitability of history, which cannot be stopped by any
19:17 force."
19:19 In China, an American-Brazilian startup producing a safety multifunctional tool for people with
19:24 a disability has been seeking out new opportunities in the country.
19:29 Established in 2015, Techfirm keyed to enable World's to provide suitable solutions for
19:35 people with motor, intellectual and physical disabilities and has been developing innovative
19:40 educational and assistive technology to help with everyday tasks.
19:45 The company took part in Entrepreneurs' High competition held in Beijing two years
19:49 ago, which was organized by HECO, a global entrepreneurial brand based in the Chinese
19:55 capital.
19:56 After winning acclaim at the event, Keyed to Enable earned the opportunity to register
20:01 their business in China and tap into the country's low production costs, improve efficiency and
20:06 broaden market scale.
20:11 I went to Shenzhen and also Hanzhou for some manufacturers and I realized that I need to
20:18 start doing this made in China.
20:21 It will be most efficient and low cost so we can produce more, we can do all of our
20:29 solution here in China and we can spread this to the world with a low cost.
20:34 So we want to make it lighter and rubberized.
