00:15 airstrikes against a Nusraiyat refugee camp that killed at least 20 Palestinians.

00:28 During an extraordinary joint meeting on the situation in the Middle East.
00:35 In Thailand, the cabinet approved an amendment to the country's civil code to allow same-sex
00:40 marriage.
00:41 The draft is expected to be submitted to Parliament next month.
00:54 Hello welcome to From the South.
00:55 I'm Ana Herrzabal from the Tulsa studios in Havana, Cuba, we begin with the news.
01:00 In Ecuador, the team of the President-elect, Daniel Navoa, is still incomplete on Tuesday,
01:05 two days before his inauguration for a short term, in which he will face challenges in
01:09 various sectors, mainly security and economy.
01:12 Among the pending appointments are the Minister of Labor, Communications and Economic and
01:17 Social Inclusion, as well as the Presidency of the Board of Directors of the Coordinator
01:22 of Foreign Companies and the Director of the Internal Revenue Service and Customs.
01:27 Ecuador faces a financial crisis that worries economists, with millionaire debts to multilateral
01:33 organizations and an ever-increasing foreign expenditure.
01:36 Navoa will assume the presidency until May 24, 2025, barely a year and a half to complete
01:42 the mandate of Guillermo Lasso, who anticipated his patron offer with the decree of cross-debt
01:48 applied on May 17, 2023.
01:57 On Tuesday morning, President of Argentina Alberto Fernández received President-elect
02:01 Javier Mele at the Presidential Residence within the framework of the government transition
02:06 after the victory of the Libertarian Party in last Sunday's ballot.
02:10 Mele did not speak to his press on his way to the meeting.
02:13 The Argentine's President-elect confirmed the weight of privatization, as well as the
02:18 elimination of the central bank, as part of the upcoming measures.
02:21 At different radio interviews, the leader of the New Argentine Far Right confirmed that,
02:26 as from December 10, the date on which he will take on the presidency of the country,
02:30 he will begin working towards the privatization of the state-owned company YPF, the energy
02:37 company Enarsa, and the polymedia conglomerate, in addition to the elimination of the central
02:43 bank.
02:44 Mele also said that he held a virtual meeting within the National Monetary Fund.
03:05 Four people have died and two others are missing due to the torrential rains that are hitting
03:09 several regions of Haiti since Saturday.
03:12 Three of the deaths were registered in the southern region of the country, and a fourth
03:16 in the south-east.
03:18 The missing individuals were reported in the department of Granance, also in the south
03:22 of Haiti.
03:23 Authorities reported that most of the victims were trying to cross the swollen rivers, and
03:27 the Civil Protection Department also reported that 420 houses were flooded, as well as several
03:32 communes and some agricultural areas.
03:36 The Pablonio Guinea-Giordano-Sahara Management Division announced on Tuesday that volcanic
03:46 activity at Mount Oulawone has reached level 4, indicating a very strong eruption.
03:52 On Monday, one of the South Pacific nation's most active volcanoes, Mount Oulawone, erupted
03:57 sweeping the ash at a height of 15 kilometers.
04:00 Local authorities stress that small volcanic particles in the ash plumes can be carried
04:05 long distances by the wind, a good threat in aviation.
04:08 The eruption had prompted Japan to assess the risks of a possible tsunami on Monday,
04:13 but none occurred, and the Pablonio Guinea-Giordano-Sahara Division said the threat was nil.
04:18 Pablonio Guinea lies in the reign of fire of the seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean,
04:23 where much of the world's volcanic and seismic activity occurs.
04:26 Oulawone has erupted repeatedly since the 18th century, and the last major eruption
04:31 in 2019 led to the evacuation of more than 5,000 people.
04:41 Archaeologists have found five Fuerenca mummies on a hill in a Lima neighborhood surrounded
04:46 by houses and next to the training field of one of Arrusto's professional soccer teams.
04:51 The remains, covered with plant-based vines, belong to four minors and an adult, Luis Tacuda,
04:56 who has the Huaca la Florida Research Project that has found that the mummies are about
05:01 1,000 years old.
05:03 Archaeologists believe that the five vines belong to the Fuerenca culture called "Eshma,"
05:07 which splendored through the valleys of what is now Lima until it was incorporated into
05:12 the Incan Empire in the late 15th century.
05:15 Scholars say the cause of death of the five recently found mummies has not been determined.
05:20 Tacuda said that these mummies were surrounded by pieces of lights for pottery, with characteristics
05:26 of the Eshma culture.
05:27 Lima has more than 400 larger archaeological sites that have been scattered throughout
05:32 the urban landscape and known as huacas in the indigenous Quechua language.
05:37 Those constructions are on the top of the hills considered sacred places.
05:46 What we found here were some five complete funerary contests.
05:50 That is why we are talking about the funerary bundle itself, which wrapped the dead.
05:54 This is the funerary thresold, which included ceramics.
05:58 We have found complete ceramic pieces.
06:01 We have also found that we are able to recover textile material associated with the funerary
06:06 bundle.
06:07 Let's take a short break.
06:08 Board members Yoganjana, Santito, Catulsu, the English will be fine using different formats
06:13 in your days and more.
06:15 Other studies coming up, stay with us.
06:43 Welcome back.
06:44 Israel, Gaza and Israel, yes, Friday, in Israel, refugee camp on Tuesday.
06:49 Killing at least 20 Palestinians whose bodies were recovered from the rubble and transferred
06:53 to the nearby Al-Qasa Amoedis Hospital.
06:57 Relatives held brave funeral prayers over the shrouded bodies in the hospital compound,
07:01 the latest mass funeral to death toll from Israel's offensive surgeons.
07:05 At the site of the attack, dozens of people were reported missing by relatives who tried
07:09 to reach for the dead bodies still trapped under the rubble and that victims' fat feet
07:15 could be seen.
07:16 Could be seen for children from the cinder block, trapped under the victims' feet could
07:22 be seen for children from the cinder block.
07:24 Yes, Friday, as Israel's anticipated ground operation in the north and heavy bombardment
07:29 across the Gaza Strip.
07:40 Strip correspondent Noor Harassin also spoke to local residents about their experience
07:46 in southern Gaza, which according to Israel's army, should be a safe zone.
07:53 He stayed in the incubator for a month.
07:55 He was transferred abroad for emergency surgery.
07:58 He asked, he implored all the brothers and the Arab countries, and no one came to this
08:03 call.
08:04 No one turned to him.
08:05 He asked to be registered in the civil registry and at least to have a birth certificate with
08:10 the name Jeha.
08:12 But destiny wanted him to be a martyr and he is alive with God.
08:19 He was registered with his mother's name Asma, Abu Amra, but his non-name is Jeha.
08:25 Today he is buried as the son of Asma.
08:28 In his grave, his name is the son of Asma, as we will be called on the day of resurrection
08:34 with the name of our mother.
08:38 Here it is, Ibn of Asma, Abu Amra.
08:41 As a result of the explosion in the area, his mother was taken to the hospital and gave
08:46 birth in a state of panic.
08:50 And he was born with a blocked horta that tried to have him operated abroad in Jordan,
08:55 Egypt or the Emirates to save his life.
08:57 Thank God, a whole month, and he begged everyone in the neonatal ward of Al-Qasas Martyr Hospital,
09:05 and no procedure was achieved for his travel and no operation neither.
09:12 He stayed on the treatment and the treatment is over.
09:15 Jeha is already a martyr.
09:18 An Israeli bomber south of Lebanon has killed two journalists, according to Lebanese media,
09:26 as hostilities were on Israel's northern border.
09:29 Lebanese channel Al-Maryarin TV said an Israel attack deliberately targeted its correspondent
09:34 Farah Omar and Karamanan Rabimi Amari, who were killed, along with a civilian contributor
09:41 in southern Lebanese town of Tareh al-Harfa.
09:44 Israeli Minister of Communications Sholmar Karchi said on October 13 that he had begun
09:49 work to imagine his websites and programming and shut down his local offices.
09:54 The Lebanese information minister has asked the army to open an investigation into the
09:58 attack on Tuesday, who said, adding that this was the third attack against journalists in
10:03 southern Lebanon since October 13.
10:06 The latest killing adds to the last 50 reporters and media workers that have been killed amid
10:11 Israel's war in Gaza, according to the press freedom group, the Committee to Protect Journalists.
10:22 On Tel Aviv, President Patricia Villegas stood to the social media acts to condemn the murder
10:26 of Al-Maryarin journalists after Israeli warplanes attacked them and the team south of Lebanon.
10:32 Villegas stressed that the Tel Aviv community stands in solidarity with our colleagues at
10:37 Al-Maryarin.
10:39 She also added that more than 50 journalists and some of the family have been murdered
10:43 by Israeli army amid the genocide in the Gaza Strip.
10:47 The news was shared by Tel Aviv special envoy Alejandro Kirk, who stressed the journalists
10:52 killed were young, kind and very professional.
11:03 Foreign Minister of Arab League Nations and Organization of Islamic Cooperation, Arab
11:07 and Russian, to debate on the Middle East peace options.
11:11 Delegations are already in Moscow for their meeting with Foreign Minister Zekiel Abraff,
11:15 who made statements in the silence of the encounter.
11:19 According to the agenda commented by Foreign Minister's Spouse Woman, Maria Zakharova,
11:24 among the issues to be discussed are the urgency of fire and the pressing Western nations to
11:28 reject the self-defense qualification with which Israel justifies the massacre of thousands
11:33 of Palestinians, mostly women and children.
11:42 The leader of the BRICS bloc, Humphries, condemned on Tuesday the war crimes against Israel and
11:47 Palestinian civilians committed in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
11:52 It adjoined seven issues following the extraordinary summit of the bloc.
11:56 They condemned acts of violence directed against Palestinian and Israeli civilians, including
12:01 war crimes, indiscriminate attacks on those directed against civilian infrastructure,
12:06 as well as acts of provocation, incitement and destruction.
12:09 In addition, the politicians stressed that civilians must be protected in accordance
12:13 with international law.
12:23 Collective punishment of Palestinian civilians through the unlawful use of force by Israel
12:30 is a war crime.
12:33 The deliberate denial of medicine, fuel, food and water to the residents of Gaza is tantamount
12:43 to genocide.
12:44 As South Africa, we call for first, an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire.
12:52 Second, the opening of humanitarian corridors so that aid and other basic services such
13:02 as food and medicines…
13:07 For his part, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva called for an early resumption
13:12 of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
13:14 Lula said he was convinced of the potential of the BRICS to mobilize political and diplomatic
13:18 forces in favor of a peaceful resolution with Davidist.
13:22 Lula pointed out that Brazil would remain ready to support all initiatives related to
13:26 a political solution to this conflict and underscored that the credibility of the United
13:31 Nations is at stake after complaining that it took 40 days since the beginning of the
13:35 conflict for a resolution for the protection of children to be adopted.
13:47 During the extraordinary BRICS summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin blamed the United
13:51 States for the latest conflict between Israel and Hamas, saying it is a direct consequence
13:57 of a desire to monopolize the mediation process and asserted that the crisis is due to the
14:02 sabotage of UN decisions provided for the creation of two stages.
14:06 Due to the sabotage of UN decisions, which clearly provide for the creation of a peaceful
14:12 coexistence for two independent and sovereign states, Israel and Palestine, more than one
14:19 generation of Palestinians have been brought up into an atmosphere of injustice towards
14:24 their people, and the Israelis cannot fully guarantee the security of their state.
14:31 This is terrible, and when you watch how operations are performed on children without anesthesia,
14:36 it certainly evokes particular feelings.
14:39 All these events, in fact, are a direct consequence of the United States' desire to monopolize
14:45 the mediation process of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict resolution, and its blocking of the
14:50 international mediation efforts through the Middle East Quartet.
14:56 During a webinar on the urgent medical crisis in Gaza, Dr. Ruba Meira of the Juno and Heart
15:01 Coalition condemns the ongoing campaign of Salahs in the US health, talismans, and politics
15:07 in general.
15:08 But I have never experienced the kind of backlash that I have seen for myself and all of my
15:14 colleagues speaking out with the simple phrase of "stop bombing hospitals."
15:18 Never seen it before.
15:19 It is vicious, and it is at every level online and within our own institutions.
15:26 So to me, this brings the question, you know, while we're watching hospitals bombed, our
15:32 colleagues targeted in Palestine, not one US medical institution has stepped up to say
15:40 stop bombing hospitals, even though this is a flagrant violation of international law
15:45 against the Geneva Conventions that specifically protects our spaces of our healing work.
15:51 Our healing work is sacred, and our workers are sacred in their duties.
15:55 So why is it that, you know, no US medical institution is speaking up when US bombs are
16:03 being dropped on these hospitals and injuring these people, specifically children, disproportionately
16:09 children?

16:38 Welcome back.
16:39 On Tuesday, Thailand's government approved an amendment to the country's civil code
16:43 to allow same-sex marriage, with the draft expected to be submitted to Parliament next
16:49 month.
16:50 Deputy Government Spokesman Kharab Polporn Kanth said that the amendment to the civil
16:55 and commercial code will change the words "men and women", "husband and wife"
16:59 to "individuals and marriage" for same-sex couples, and "husband and wife" to "individuals
17:05 and spouses" so that same-sex couples can receive the same rights as heterosexual couples.
17:10 He said the law would guarantee the right to form a family and a relationship between
17:14 same-sex couples, adding that the next step will be to amend the Pension Fund Act to recognize
17:19 same-sex couples as well.
17:21 Prime Minister Sreedhar Thavisin has told reporters that the bill is suspected to be
17:25 submitted to Parliament on December 12.
17:28 If it becomes law after Parliamentary approval and King Mahathir Bajira Lagangorn's ascent
17:34 to the throne, Thailand will become the third place in Asia to allow same-sex marriage,
17:38 after Thailand and Nepal.
17:45 In order to have a law that guarantees the right to form a family and a relationship
17:50 between same-sex couples, the Ministry of Justice proposed an amendment to the civil
17:55 and commercial code.
17:59 The main point is to change the words "men" and "women", "husband" and "wife"
18:04 into "individuals", "fiancée", "marriage partner" to make it inclusive.
18:11 For the first time since the accident in northern India, rescuers on Tuesday were able to see
18:16 the picture of the 41 workers trapped for 10 days by the collapse of a tunnel under
18:21 construction.
18:22 The images were taken when a scuba camera played through a thin pipe that supplies oxygen
18:28 food and water to the workers.
18:30 Rescue teams vowed to get them out safely.
18:33 Excavators had been removing health and debris from the collapsed tunnels since November
18:37 12.
18:38 But rescue efforts had been slowed due to falling debris and repealed drift failures.
18:43 Before setting up the camera, rescue teams communicated with the trapped men by radio.
18:55 A Liberia car plowed into a crowd of supporters of politician Joseph Buakai in Monrovia on
19:00 Monday night, killing at least two people and injuring many others, hospital police
19:04 and political sources said.
19:09 Police did not explain the motive for the incident but spokesmen for Buakai's unity
19:13 party said they believed it was a deliberate act.
19:16 According to local police, the driver fled the scene.
19:19 Buakai's supporters were celebrating outside his party headquarter after Buakai was officially
19:24 declared the winner of the presidential election.
19:26 Party spokesman Muhammad Ali said it was hard to believe that the vehicle had suffered mechanical
19:32 failure or that the brakes had failed.
19:35 Police officer Melvin Tackoy confirmed the two deaths and added that 12 men and four
19:39 women had been taken to the John F. Kennedy Hospital.
19:49 On Monday evening, a small boat cramped with migrants capsized on the southern Italian
19:53 island of La Pedusa, killing a two-year-old girl and leaving at least eight people missing.
19:59 The Italian Coast Guard and fishermen who were in the area when the boat hit some rocks
20:04 before capsizing saved 43 other people.
20:07 Most of those rescued were from Ivory Coast, working in Faso, Guinea-Bissau and Mali, and
20:12 had departed from Sfax in Tunisia.
20:15 Survivors of rescues at least eight people who were abroad were missing, including two
20:20 children.
20:21 A new whale-fishing boat with 400 migrants on board disembarked at the commercial port
20:27 of La Pedusa after being escorted by the local Coast Guard.
20:37 On Monday in the United States, the United Auto Workers Union confirmed that 64 of its
20:42 members voted in favor of the important agreement reached with the three largest automakers
20:47 in the country.
20:48 After six weeks of strike actions, the workers' wretched what many consider to be a historic
20:52 agreement with Ford, Solantis and General Motors.
20:56 Although detailed depolarity settlements have not been released, it is known that they will
21:01 receive cumulative hourly wages increases of about 27 percent, retirement benefits could
21:08 increase by as much as 10 percent, and all union members will receive annual cost of
21:12 living adjustments based on the rate of inflation.
21:20 On Monday, Sean Fain, President of the United Automobile Workers Union, during an interview
21:25 with U.S. local media, denounced the gap between the wretched and poor and stressed that it
21:30 is up to the organized workers to lead the movement for better working conditions.
21:34 "There's this massive chasm between the billionaire class and the working class.
21:40 And when those things get out of balance, we need to turn it upside down.
21:44 When 26 billionaires have as much wealth as half of humanity, that's a crisis.
21:50 And it's our issues, whether it's UAW, it's working class issues, whether you're a union
21:56 or not, everyone identifies with what's going on right now.
22:01 People in unions and people, working class people that aren't in unions, are literally
22:04 scraping to get by.
22:05 They're working seven days a week, 12 and 16 hours a day, multiple jobs, not to save
22:12 money, just to scrape to get by.
22:14 And so it's time.
22:15 I think it's way past time.
22:18 And it's up to organized labor to lead that movement."

22:26 our Caribbean audience, especially the audience of Trinidad and Tobago.
