00:33Hello, welcome from the south.
00:35I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Televisa Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:39We begin with the news.
00:40Former presidential candidate Mundo González Urrutia, who had been a voluntary refugee
00:45in the embassy of the Kingdom of Spain in Caracas for several days, left the country
00:49and requested political asylum from the government.
00:51The opposition figure was facing six charges, including the publication and maintenance
00:56of an illegal web page, which disseminated fraudulent results, in addition to other
01:00crimes such as instigation to disobey the law, usurpation of functions and conspiracy.
01:05González Urrutia left after Venezuela granted him due safe conduct for the sake of the political
01:10peace of the country in compliance with international legality.
01:13This conduct reaffirms his respect for the law that has prevailed in the actions of the
01:18Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the international community.
01:26On following Mundo González's departure to Spain, the Attorney General of Venezuela,
01:29Tarek William Saab, read a statement expressing the public ministry's full respect of decisions
01:34taken by the executive in compliance with Venezuelan and international laws.
01:38The governments of Spain and Venezuela agreed upon the safe conduct of El Mundo González
01:49Urrutia to abandon the national territory and accepted the asylum conceded by Spain.
02:01In consequence, this public ministry expresses its entire respect to the decisions of the
02:11Venezuelan executive to fulfill the right of asylum guaranteed by the Constitution of the
02:20Republic in the 69th article managed to surrender the safe conduct which corresponded.
02:33The Attorney General added in the same statement that on September 4th, the former opposition
02:37candidate recognized the public ministry's authority and maintained close communication
02:41through his legal representative on the charges being investigated.
02:45Once that in the communication to the public ministry received on September 4th, citizen
02:55El Mundo González Urrutia expressed his acknowledge to our authority as General Prosecutor of
03:03the Republic and the capability that has the institution that we directed in base of the
03:11law and constitution.
03:13This public ministry has maintained tight communication established during the last
03:22days with the judicial holder of Mr. González Urrutia, lawyer José Vicente Aro.
03:37To the end, to get the cause of investigation of this office.
03:44Attorney William Sabo also said the public ministry was informed by the corresponding
03:48authorities from the very beginning on all the movements taking place.
03:52This public ministry has knowledge by first hand of the exact moment when citizen El Mundo
04:01González Urrutia entered to the embassy of the Spain Kingdom in Caracas.
04:08Then we went to get the news by the Venezuelan authorities of the request of asylum by him
04:20in the frame of the international laws of the human rights and the diplomatic relations
04:28between both states.
04:31In Chile, people mobilized this Sunday to pay tribute to the victims of Augusto Pinochet's
04:36dictatorship.
04:37On the slogan, yesterday's impunity brought today's injustices, at 10 a.m. local time
04:42people started marching from the hero square towards the general cemetery of the capital
04:45Santiago.
04:46The march was a way to pay homage to the over 400,000 victims which includes those arrested,
04:54forcibly gone missing and executed during the 17 years of the Pinochet dictatorship.
04:59This march coincides with the 51st anniversary of the coup d'etat against the government
05:03of the popular unity led by Salvador Allende.
05:10On this day of protest in Chile, police clashed with demonstrators in the vicinity of the
05:14presidential La Moneda palace as they were marching towards the general cemetery.
05:18At least one person was injured and taken to a hospital.
05:21March participants reported that there were also pockets of intimidation in other areas
05:25of the city.
05:31Relatives of the people executed and forcibly gone missing during the dictatorship of Augusto
05:36Pinochet claim their social and political rights because they have spent the last 51
05:41years not knowing the whereabouts of their relatives.
05:47We come to this march for our victims, not so much out of pain, but for social and political
05:52vindication, because it's been 50 years of not knowing where they are, it's been 50 years
05:57of justice not being served, and the cases that have been tried, the sentences have not
06:02been in accordance to the severity of the crimes committed, sentences of 5 years, 10
06:07years, as if it were common crimes and not crimes against humanity.
06:13La Moneda health authorities have confirmed at least 12 people dead from dengue fever
06:16in the last 15 days.
06:18Doctors have warned about the marked increase in the number of fatalities in recent days.
06:22Until then, there had been only three deaths from the disease this year.
06:26Health Minister Mari Muniver lamented the worsening of the dengue situation in the country,
06:30and as other health and government authorities have done, she urged people to eliminate
06:34breeding sites in homes and communities in order to prevent the spread of the disease.
06:44In Brazil, social movements took to the streets on September 7th, the day that commemorates
06:48the independence of the South American giant.
06:50For 30 years, these movements have denounced that independence has not benefited everyone
06:55and demanded the guaranteed rights of the state for the most impoverished.
06:59Details with our correspondent Andre Vieira and Sebastián Soto.
07:04Under the slogan, all forms of life matter, but who matters?
07:08The people of Brazil marched in the five regions of the country in the cry of all the excluded,
07:13which is celebrated every September 7th, the date of Brazil's independence.
07:20We want to defend the life of nature, the life of the territories, the life of the indigenous people,
07:26the life of the quilombolas, the life of the people of the peripheries.
07:31So here we are making this cry for all the people who are suffering violence every day.
07:38Over three decades, the cry of the excluded not only demands rights for the Brazilian people,
07:44but also calls for the guarantee of sovereignty for countries and peoples around the world.
07:53Being here today on the 30th anniversary of the cry of the excluded is an immense difference
07:59to present the denunciations of how important it is to defend the Palestinian territory,
08:04as well as to defend the sovereignty of Venezuela and other countries that are under attack.
08:12At a time when the extreme right is on the rise worldwide,
08:15Brazilian movements reaffirmed their commitment to the defense of life
08:19and all its forms of expression and dialogue with society about the multiple forms of exclusion.
08:29Facing the fragility of the young Brazilian democracy,
08:32we seek that independence and democracy can bridge the communities, neighborhoods and favelas,
08:37and that the working class is recognized from the perspective of rights.
08:43This Saturday's activity also serves as a preparation for the People's Summit,
08:48which will be held in parallel with the G20 meeting in November in Rio de Janeiro.
