00:00In Venezuela, the National Electoral Council said the second popular consultation runs
00:08normally and invites young people to vote to choose the projects that will benefit the
00:13communities.
00:14In Palestine, Israeli genocidal forces continued their intense attacks on the Gaza Strip, claiming
00:2271 Palestinian lives.
00:27And at least 11 people were killed in Indonesia by floods caused by flash rains.
00:37Hello welcome to From the South, I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters in Caracas,
00:40Venezuela.
00:41We begin with the news, stay with us.
00:55Venezuela's National Electoral Commission provided an assessment on the development
00:59of the second great popular consultation and urged young people from 15 years of age to
01:05exercise their vote.
01:06The president of the National Electoral Commission of the communes, Carolina Arellano, extends
01:11her gratitude to the national, regional, municipal and communal promotion teams deployed to carry
01:17out the process.
01:18Arellano also highlighted the support of the National Electoral Council and of President
01:23Nicolás Maduro, with a view to guaranteeing the best possible outcome of the consultation,
01:30for which more than 27,000 projects were submitted.
01:33The official report that the process runs normally with 90% of the 4,505 active circuits.
01:50Right now, 90% of the 4,090 circuits are activated.
01:54There have been some incidences due to rainfalls in many states, so authorities of the polling
01:59stations have coped with some hurdles there, not so much with the opening, but with keeping
02:04up at the same pace due to these rainfalls.
02:07We have been in all polling stations nationwide since 7 o'clock in the morning, with our teams,
02:15with our spokespersons of all the communal councils, of all the electoral commissions.
02:23At this moment, we can give a small account where 30,784 projects have been registered
02:30and consolidated for this consultation, of which the trends are already being marked
02:34a little bit.
02:35The most voted are water and electricity proposals so far.
02:43Republicans also described their experience during the second popular consultation.
02:49We are now voting on the communal projects.
02:52This is an order given by our President Nicolas Maduro and the Ministry of Communes.
02:57Where each community holds a citizen assembly, they chose the priority within their sectors,
03:03the needs that are in function of good living, of those who live there.
03:07Then the assembly chooses and the one that has the highest number of people to be tested.
03:12This is taken to a vote within the communal scope and there the projects are chosen by
03:16communities.
03:17This time seven prioritized projects are chosen.
03:21In those projects there is drinking water, sewage, street curbs, roads, electricity,
03:27an infinite number of projects.
03:31And now we go live with our correspondent in Caracas, Gladys Quesada, for more information
03:37on this voting date.
03:38Hello Gladys, welcome to From the South.
03:39What do you have to tell us about?
03:40Hi Ana, yes, precisely, I'm still in downtown Caracas, I'm at the Negro Luis Villafania
03:52Voting Center, which is also one of the centers for the great missions of the homeland here
03:58in Venezuela and attends a community and some communal centers.
04:03Also this belongs to a communal circuit that attends other communal councils and communes.
04:09This occasion, I can say, because we have been turning and going around all Caracas,
04:16that this voting has been held in calm, with peace, with participation and turnout from
04:24the neighbors and the members of the communes.
04:26And also this has been a day of the electoral joyful parties and journeys that Venezuela
04:33is always holding.
04:34And also I want to tell you something.
04:36I have been in almost three centers now in Caracas, and all of them have the same structure,
04:44the same way of presenting the protocol for the voting.
04:48They have the projects listed outside of the voting centers, so every neighbor can come
04:55here and check, first of all, foremost, the projects that they are going to vote for.
05:02Afterwards they come in here and they go through all the steps in the protocol for the voting.
05:07And this has been done without any issues, without delays, without any difficulties,
05:15because Venezuelan people knows how to vote, knows how to come and exercise this right,
05:22because in 25 years of Bolivarian revolution, there have been over 30 votings, over 30 elections
05:29and polls here in Venezuela.
05:31So this is not only a civic duty, it's also a right and a normalized activity here in the country.
05:38I have to say that many of the projects go on the improvement of the infrastructure,
05:44and as you were saying, the improvement of the water services and the sewage services.
05:49But here in this college where I am, in this voting center, the projects are going around
05:55other minorities inside the community, inside the commune, as the elderly.
06:01They have a project to build a club and a care house for the elderly here in the commune.
06:08That's to say, a place where the older and, you know, the people over 65 years old can
06:14come and receive care, receive food, entertainment, also instructive activities, and to have a
06:24dignified, you know, golden years, that's to say in a way.
06:29And that says a lot about the people that live in here, because they are not just prioritizing
06:35what the youngsters or what the adults want, and not only prioritizing the financing for
06:42infrastructure but also for the others that already had spent a big part of their life
06:49working for the community.
06:51Also, I want to say, all the communes and the commune circuits are not equal, even though
06:59they have the same access to the financing.
07:01For example, in other centers we were visiting, they wanted to improve the quality of the
07:07water, they wanted to continue the repair of houses, of the facades of the buildings,
07:13but here also they want to build a wall to contain the fires, because they live nearby
07:21the mountains, and precisely El Ávila, the mountain that divides Caracas from La Guaira,
07:29which is the Guaira Repano, the biggest mountain here in the city, and they want to be protected
07:34on the season of fires, forest fires here in Caracas, and also they want to have this
07:44sewage cleaned, because of the rainy season also, that can, you know, provoke floodings
07:51and provoke other damages to their houses and damages to the public way.
07:57So this is one day of family, the afternoon is just going on, it's passing the day of
08:04voting, I think the morning was more active, but people are still coming, and it is expected
08:10that centers close at 6pm, as we were saying, but as long as there are some voters lining
08:16up to get in here, there will be, well, the circuits and the voting centers will be open
08:23and will be active, Ana. That's the information, so now we give you back the signal.
08:29Thank you very much, Gladys, for all your information you provide to us and the viewers.
08:34And now let's take a short break, but remember you can now join us on our Tiktok account
08:38at Celestudio English, where you'll be able to see news in different formats, news updates
08:41and more. Stay tuned for more news.
08:46Welcome back to From the South, the Israeli-Jerusalem forces continue their intense attack on the
09:17Gaza Strip, claiming 71 Palestinian lives. Gazans have retrieved 12 corpses from the
09:23runs of the city of Haman in Quniyounis after the withdrawal of the Israeli forces. Moreover,
09:29the occupation tanks and war vehicles advance on the central city of Darabala, casting over
09:35100,000 forces displaced in just 48 hours. On Sunday, the ceasefire negotiations are
09:43expected to resume in Cairo, mediated by Egypt, Qatar and the US.
09:51I have six children and every day I flee with them from one place to another. When Hamad
09:55was bombarded, my youngest child told me I don't want to die, I want to live.
10:02We found martyrs in the street killed by snipers. The situation is beyond imagination, and my
10:09house was destroyed. I have no home now.
10:16In this context, the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon launched a large-scale strike against
10:20Israel, from where they attacked several localities in Lebanon. The Hezbollah movement announced
10:27the successful completion of the first phase of the operation against the Zionist regime,
10:33in retaliation to the assassinations of Commander Faouz Kord.
10:43Hours earlier, Israeli army launches massive airstrikes on southern Lebanon. The Al-Majdadeen
10:48network reported that there were about 440 my pardon attacks that lasted around 20 minutes
10:57and hit several localities in the south and west of the Bekaa region. So far, there are
11:02no reports of property damage or human casualties.
11:11Meanwhile in Israel, thousands of citizens have joined the weekly protests in the capital
11:15Tel Aviv to demand the return of those held in Palestine and ask for new elections. Shelters
11:21demand that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reconsider his rallied mindset that obstructed
11:26as he's fired, such as the control of the Netzerim and Philadelphia corridors, which
11:33reminds bloc to the passage of humanitarian aid. The Israeli also raised slogans calling
11:39on Netanyahu to establish an exchange agreement for detainees and to resign his post, as he
11:46is considered incompetent for the job.
11:56This is Rabah in Enactive, the notification bulb to stay up to date on the world's most
12:05recent events.
12:26Welcome back. At least 11 people were killed in Indonesia by floods caused by flash rains.
12:35The floods swept through residential areas in the east part of the country, cutting off
12:39the main roads to the village of Rua and leaving thousands of houses and buildings burned in
12:45the mud. Search and rescue teams working together with local residents have evacuated 10 people.
12:52Heavy rains caused frequent landslides and flash floods in Indonesia, where millions
12:57of people live in mountainous areas or near flood plains.
13:08In Cambodia, authorities reinforced border surveillance to prevent the entry of people
13:14infected with monkeypox or other dangerous viral diseases. The health ministry recorded
13:20over 20 cases of monkeypox, adding that no deaths have occurred so far.
13:25Health authorities also reported 72 cases of H5N1-Aden influenza, with 43 people dead
13:32to date. The first case of H5N1 was reported in late January 2024 and the most recent in
13:39early August. The World Health Organization said the increase
13:43in monkeypox cases is in a growing number in African countries, constituting a public
13:49health emergency of international concern.
13:57In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, citizens are leaving their homes after an attack by
14:02the March 23rd movement despite a ceasefire in force since August 4th. According to local
14:10media, clashes were reported on Saturday between the rebels and the March 23rd movement and
14:15the local militias in territories of the province of Norkivu. These acts are added
14:21to the fighting reported during the week in different places of the city of Umasisi and
14:26also in the territory of Lubelo, events that caused hundreds of inhabitants to abandon
14:31their homes. China's Ministry of Commerce criticized the
14:39United States government on Monday for including several Chinese firms in its export control
14:48list due to their relationships with Russia. The ministry urged Washington to immediately
14:53cease these courses of actions as it considers it undermines the order and rules of international
15:00trade. The government agency said it will take necessary
15:04measures to defend the legitimacy, rights and interests of Chinese companies affected
15:10by the measures. Beijing has projected on several locations the interference policies
15:14created by the United States government against sovereign countries.
