00:00In Venezuela, Attorney General Tariq William Saab summoned former candidate Mundo González

00:10Urrucha to testify before the public ministry this Monday.

00:16Palestinian-Israeli forces killed 69 Palestinian civilians in five new massacres the Zionist

00:21regime has carried since the Genocidal War in Gaza.

00:26In Russia, the government recorded 115 soldiers captured by Ukrainian forces during the incursion

00:30into the Kursk province.

00:33Hello, welcome to From the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Televisa Studios in Havana,

00:42Cuba.

00:43We begin with the news.

00:44In Venezuela, Attorney General Tariq William Saab summoned former candidate Mundo González

00:48Urrucha to testify before the public ministry on Monday.

00:51The former candidate is expected to testify regarding his alleged responsibility in the

00:55crimes of usurpation of authority, forgery of a public document, instigation to disobey

01:00the law, cybercrimes, association to commit a crime, and conspiracy.

01:05González Urrucha will also be held accountable for the publication of forged documents through

01:09our website.

01:10It is important to point out that the former candidate was declaring contempt after failing

01:14to appear before the Supreme Court of Justice Electoral Chamber.

01:24The Government of Venezuela denounced the interference of some administrations in the

01:27region against the sovereignty and independence of the Venezuelan people.

01:31This statement responds to the joint statement of 11 nations that expressed their disagreement

01:36with the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela, which certified the

01:39results of the July 28 presidential elections.

01:42Previously, the 11 governments said they were unaware of the electoral process and the validity

01:47of the National Electoral Council's declaration.

01:49In this regard, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Iván Gil released a text of the Memorandum

01:54that rejects the attempts of these nations to violate international law.

02:13The Government of Venezuela condemned in an official statement a statement issued by several

02:17countries of the region in relation to the recent Supreme Court's ruling on the presidential

02:20elections results and affirmed that these governments intend to continue violating international law.

02:50Venezuelan Republic and Uruguay, who emulating the infamous, failed and defeated Lima Group,

03:04pretend to continue violating international law, committing an unacceptable act of interference

03:09in matters that only concern Venezuelans.

03:21These governments, with their positions, endorse and become accomplices of the criminal violence

03:27that attacked health centers, schools, universities, transportation, national symbols, and left

03:37a balance of murdered and wounded with the use of transnational criminal gangs hired

03:42for that purpose.

03:43The President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, pointed out that the right-wing in the region

03:48wants to re-establish the Lima Group.

03:53These right-wing governments that pretend to revitalize and defend the Lima Group come

03:59out to defend the delinquents.

04:02These governments of the new Lima Group, to say that we are persecuting, that there is

04:08political persecution, what do you do with people who go out and burn and destroy a subway

04:14station?

04:16They are rewarded or are they decorated?

04:21Justice is what the people want, severe justice, and there will be justice against all those

04:28intellectually and materially responsible for the criminal assault that was attempted

04:33in Venezuela on July 29, 30, and 31.

04:40President Nicolás Maduro also condemned all those Miami influencers in the United States

04:43who followed the orders of the author right-wing to assassinate the Venezuelan people during

04:47the protests of July 29.

04:53Because we the Chavistas and Bolivarians respect the rest of the Venezuelans, and we have never

04:59called to kill anyone by TikTok, as the influencers of Miami called to kill.

05:07In turn, Venezuela's Executive Vice President, Dulce Rodriguez, denounced presidential candidate

05:13Edmundo González and former Congresswoman María Corina Machado for calling the so-called

05:17Guarimbas, which caused the death of more than 20 people.

05:22González Urrutia and María Corina Machado, for the deaths we had, more than two dozen

05:30we had in those days after the election of July 28, they're responsible and they have

05:37to pay in front of justice because they went against our National Guard officers, against

05:43our Bolivarian National Police, against our State and Municipal Police.

05:48They went straight to attack them, to assassinate them.

05:52They have to pay.

05:53If they think they're so, and so supported by the United States, well, come out, show

06:01your faces, present yourself to the justice as it corresponds.

06:05In this context, the member states of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of America

06:10People's Trade Treaty welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela

06:14in which they ratified the electoral victory of Nicolás Maduro, who, by communique, has

06:19stated that it uploads the important work of the Supreme Court of Justice, which certified

06:24and endorsed the results issued by the National Labor Council, and has demonstrated that it

06:29is closely committed to the responsibility of guaranteeing peace and tranquility to the

06:33Venezuelan people.

06:34They also indicated that this decision of the highest court of this nation is an indisputable

06:39demonstration of Venezuelan institutionality, guaranteeing the Venezuelan people the full

06:44exercise of their sovereignty and self-determination.

06:47They ended their statement by saying the Bolivarian Alliance reiterates its support for the Venezuelan

06:53people and government, applauds the award for the example of sovereignty without interference

06:56of any kind, and celebrates the unobjectionable victory of President Nicolás Maduro Moros.

07:06For their part, Chilean observers participating in Venezuela's presidential elections condemned

07:11President Boric's interference in Venezuelan internal affairs.

07:14The international observers delivered a letter addressed to President Gabriel Boric, where

07:18they expressed their rejection of the declarations of their Chilean president, qualifying them

07:22as a serious interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign country.

07:27They also pointed out that the president's position towards Venezuela is aligned with

07:31the belligerent and interfering position of the government of the United States and its

07:35allies of the European Union.

07:37They also assured that they had witnessed a legitimate and democratic electoral process

07:42in Venezuela, which gave victory to Nicolás Maduro, and urged President Boric to respect

07:47the sovereign decision of the Venezuelan people in accordance with its constitutional order

07:52and its institutions.

07:54Let's now take a short break, but remember you can join us on Tiktok at TELESURINGLISH,

08:07We'll be right back, stay with us.

08:22Welcome back.

08:30In Bolivia, President Luis Garza enacted a transitory law for the selection and appointment

08:34of a new General Prosecutor.

08:36The bill approved establishes the deadlines for the 13 stages of selection of the candidates

08:40for the Prosecutor's Office, its Institute, as well as the period for convening a session

08:45of the Legislative Assembly to appoint the Prosecutor.

08:48The rule indicates that the process will have international oversight, inviting the United

08:52Nations, the European Union, and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.

08:56The selection stages include the publication of the Call for Applications, presentation

09:00of applications, verification of requirements, and the publication of candidates.

09:18In the last 24 hours, the Israeli Occupation Army committed five new massacres in residential

09:30areas in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the killing of at least 69 civilians.

09:34According to medical sources, these actions also left 212 wounded, however, they warned

09:39that both figures could be even higher, since many of the victims of these attacks are trapped

09:44under the rubble of the infrastructures that were affected by the bombings.

09:48This is due to Israel's impediments to the entry of ambulances and civil defence teams

09:52into the bombed areas.

09:54According to the most recent health report, 40,334 Palestinians have been killed and an

09:59ordinary 3,356 have been injured since October 2023, when the Israeli war against the Gaza

10:05Strip began.

10:11On Saturday, the United Nations Children's Fund reported that there are at least 19,000

10:16Palestinian children orphans since October 7, 2023.

10:20A UNICEF spokesman said these infants, who are often called unaccompanied minors, have

10:25either suffered forced abandonment from their parents or the death of their parents as a

10:30direct result of the Israeli aggression in Palestine.

10:33They say, however, that in cases where there is an extended family, cousins, uncles, aunts

10:36or grandparents, they are the ones who take care and provide for these Palestinian children.

10:44Meanwhile, the Palestinian humanitarian crisis continues to worsen amid Israel's genocide.

10:51The authorities of a Gaza hospital warn that they will stop working for the lack of fuel

10:55to generate electricity.

10:57Kamal Adwan Hospital in the north of the coastal enclave is facing a health catastrophe and

11:02could cease to provide care in the coming hours due to food shortages caused by the

11:06siege and the Israeli blockade, compounded by the large influx of wounded, the lack of

11:10medical supplies and personnel.

11:13They warn that infants in incubators are at risk of death, plus seven cases in ICU.

11:18According to the Ministry of Health, the Israeli aggression has resulted in the destruction

11:21of more than 80% of the health infrastructure in the Gaza Strip and most of the hospitals

11:26are out of service.

11:30Meanwhile, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported that about

11:3490% of the Gaza Strip's population has been displaced since the start of the Israeli invasion

11:38in October 2023.

11:41According to the agency, there is currently no safe place inside the territory and the

11:44displaced Gazans are confined to an area that constitutes only a tenth of the total space

11:49of the Strip in the midst of a war that has caused more than 133,000 victims, including

11:54killed and wounded, most of them children and women.

12:01On the other hand, the Gaza Ministry of Health stated that the vaccination plan includes

12:05the training of health teams, the definition of vaccination centers and the closing of

12:10staff training in assistance with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine

12:15Refugees in the Near East, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's

12:19Fund and other local and international organizations.

12:23The ministry took the initiative due to a confirmed case of polio in the war-torn region

12:27and aims to stop the spread of the virus.

12:35In Iraq, millions of Shia Muslims arrived in the city of Karbala to participate in the

12:41Arbaeen pilgrimage.

12:43Arbaeen is one of the holy days of the Shia calendar.

12:46Millions of worshippers worldwide commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, grandson of

12:51the Prophet Muhammad.

12:53Some even travel on foot from Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and other nearby countries to gather

12:57around the shrine of Imam Hussein.

13:00Pilgrims participate in the ceremony to express their sorrow for Hussein's assassination by

13:03singing songs and performing religious ceremonies in the city.

15:35Meanwhile, more than 3,100 shelters have been set up to house the victims of what is the

15:41worst flooding in three decades.

15:43And in China, at least 11 people have died and 14 others are reported missing due to

15:51floods caused by heavy rains in the city of Huludao in Liaoning province in northeastern

15:56China.

15:57According to authorities, the worst affected parts of the city experienced in just half

16:01a day a year's worth of rainfall.

16:03Overall, it was the heaviest rainfall in Huludao since weather records began in 1951.

16:29Meanwhile, in Brazil, at least 30 cities in the state of Sao Paulo are on high alert due

16:35to more than 2,300 forest fires in the last 48 hours.

16:39According to data from the National Space Research Institute, this figure represents

16:42almost seven times more wildfires than those that occurred in August 2023, when some 342

16:49fires were registered.

16:50So far, authorities report at least two deaths from these forest fires spread by dry weather

16:56and strong winds.

16:57Given the situation, local government ordered the civil defense to create a crisis office

18:06The United Nations Refugee Organization Agency warned about the special risks that refugees

18:11are running with the spread of this disease, mainly in the states of Kassala, Qadharif

18:16and Yaseera.

18:17The cholera outbreak is seen as the latest calamity for Sudan, which has been in chaos

18:21since April 2023 when simmering tensions between the army and a parliamentary group erupted

18:27into open warfare across the country, destroying civilian infrastructure and the health care

18:31system.
