00:00In Lebanon, Hezbollah fires a barrage of rockets at Israeli troops' foiling attempt to invade

00:09territory.

00:13Hurricane Milton will make landfall in Florida on Wednesday night and poses a major threat

00:18to life and prosperity—property, my pardon.

00:25Ecuadorian police said on Tuesday that at least five people have been shot dead in a

00:30new massacre during a state of emergency declared by President Daniel Nuboa to curb violence.

00:40Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters

00:43in Caracas, Venezuela.

00:44We begin with the news, stay with us.

01:02In Lebanon, Hezbollah fires a barrage of rockets at Israeli troops' foiling attempt to invade

01:08territory.

01:09After an address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in which he threatens Lebanese

01:14citizens to end up like Gaza, a contingent of the Genocidal Army was deployed in northern

01:22Israel.

01:23The promise to enter the territory was repealed by Hezbollah fighters from where they claim

01:30to have repealed two invasion attempts.

01:33One of them is the Saudis through the Lida Pass and the other in the southwest through

01:39the Libau Pass.

01:48In this context, Israeli airstrikes have scaled significantly in southern Lebanon, particularly

01:55targeting the village of Kiyan, the coastal city of Tyre.

01:59The village of Kiyan was faced during the airstrike, with reports indicating that Israeli

02:05aircraft bombed over 30 towns and villages surrounding Tyre.

02:11Reports indicate that at least 10 firefighters were killed during the strike, while data

02:16were preparing for rescue operations.

02:24In the last hours, Israeli Genocidal Forces have committed an undetermined number of massacres

02:30in Gaza with weapons provided by the U.S.

02:34UNRWA coordinator Felipe Lazzarini described the situation this morning in the north of

02:41the Strip as an endless hell.

02:52Israeli Genocidal Forces armed by the U.S. have been sighting 400,000 defenseless Palestinians

02:59in northern Gaza.

03:00The will of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of expelling Palestinians from the northern

03:04Strip is being fulfilled before the international community's eyes.

03:12In Palestine, Israeli airstrikes targeted schoolhouses and displaced people in Javali

03:16and north of the Gaza Strip, killing three people and leaving several wounded.

03:21The Palestinian Red Crescent Society informed that they transferred 25 injured people to

03:27the Bastips Hospital after the attack on the Al-Rafid School, during what has become

03:35the fourth consecutive day of military assault.

03:38The refugees of Javali are mostly displaced from Bir Nahun and Bir Laya, being forced

03:44to leave the area by Israeli eviction mandates.

03:54Russian Foreign Minister spokeswoman Maria Zakharova condemned recent Israeli strikes

03:59on the Syrian capital of Damascus, describing them as a gross violation of Syrian sovereignty.

04:06I would also like to comment on the latest Israeli strike on Damascus.

04:10It took place yesterday evening, October 8.

04:12Once again, Israel grossly violated Syrian sovereignty by launching a missile attack

04:16on a multi-story residential building in a densely populated area of Damascus.

04:21According to the Syrian authorities, seven civilians were killed, including women and

04:25children.

04:26Eleven people were injured.

04:28The rubble is now being cleared.

04:30We strongly condemn this action.

04:34Whoever the target of the attack was, it was carried out on the territory of a third country

04:38in a dense residential area, which leads to inevitable casualties among innocent people.

04:43And it is outrageous that such actions have literally become routine practice applied

04:47to Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

04:49Let's take our very first break, but remember you can now join us on our Tiktok account

04:52at Celestino English, where you'll be able to see news in different formats, news updates

04:56and more.

04:57Stay tuned for more news.

05:19Welcome back to From the South.

05:30Hurricane Milton overwhelmed landfall in Florida on Wednesday and imposed a major threat to

05:36life and property as it hammers the state with destructive, strong storms, devastating

05:43wind damage, potentially catastrophic flooding, rainfalls and several tornadoes.

05:48The National Weather Service in Tampa Bay said in a briefing that the threat of Hurricane

05:53Milton continues to be a worst-case scenario for Tampa Bay, the region north-south of Worcester

05:59to Charlotte.

06:00Milton is a Category 4 hurricane, picking winds up to 130 mph of 3 pm.

06:09It is centered 150 miles southwest of Tampa and is tracking to the northeast of 16 mph.

06:18The meteorological area, which is home to over 3 million people, has not had a direct

06:24hit by a major hurricane in more than 100 years.

06:30Most importantly, I've urged everyone, everyone currently located in Hurricane Milton's path

06:35to listen to local officials and follow safety instructions.

06:39You all have been reporting on the highways, shoulders being opened, everybody's heading

06:43out, and if you're under evacuation orders, you should evacuate now, now, now, you should

06:50have already evacuated.

06:51It's a matter of life and death, and that's not hyperbole, it's a matter of life and death.

06:59Meanwhile, traffic began to pile up in Interstate 4 heading northeast from Tampa to Orlando

07:08as residents of the Florida coast fled inland to avoid Hurricane Milton.

07:14The powerful Category 4 storm could be the state's worst in a century.

07:24In this context, Hurricane Milton continues to slowly move away from the Yucatan Peninsula.

07:29Mexican authorities declared a yellow alert for the moderate danger in 47 municipalities.

07:35The State Coordination Office of Civil Protection announced that a powerful storm will cease

07:40to affect the Yucatan Peninsula in the next few hours, but will maintain the rainy season

07:46in the region.

07:51The wind was strong and there was a lot of rain, but thank God it was calm.

07:57I was afraid because apparently Hurricane Milton was only going to hit the Yucatan Peninsula,

08:02but it came in strong at about 10, 11 o'clock at night.

08:06In Colombia, President Gustavo Petro denounced a coup d'etat against his government and called

08:12on the country's social movements to mobilize in defense of popular serenity.

08:19The head of state's comments happened after the National Electoral Council accused him

08:24of having illegally financed his electoral campaign.

08:33And now let's hear some statements of the Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

08:42I want to publicly express our solidarity with President Petro.

08:48The National Electoral Council of Colombia, two years after the election, has opened an

09:00investigation for campaign expenses, which he called yesterday a coup d'etat, because

09:14this investigation process is opened even outside the laws of Colombia.

09:19So, our solidarity is with President Petro who, as you know, is practically the only

09:26progressive president Colombia has ever had.

09:29So, always our support, our solidarity.

09:33When there is always an injustice, it is part of our policy to address it.

09:38The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, addressed on her morning press conference

09:42a murdered off-mayor of Chilamzingo, Alejandro Arcos, and assured her government is actively

09:49working to find out what happened and identify and persecute the culprits.

09:58We are working with the State Attorney General's office.

10:02Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfich is there, and all the intelligence required by the naval

10:08intelligence institutions of the Navy, the National Intelligence Center itself, in order

10:14to know what happened, who are the responsible parties, and make the necessary arrests.

10:45Welcome back.

10:52Ecuadorian police said on Tuesday that at least five people have been shot dead in a

10:57new massacre during a set of emergency declared by President Daniel Loboa to curb violence.

11:01According to the police, the incident took place in El Recreo sector at the city of Durán

11:06to the southwest of the country.

11:08Residents of the area state that the attackers were wearing clothing very similar to those

11:13of the army.

11:15The province of Guayas, where the city of Durán is located, is still under a state

11:20of emergency, but these measures do not seem to be able to contain this unprecedented wave

11:25of violence in the country.

11:27The National Assembly of Venezuela approved a preliminary agreement that proposed the

11:40government to break off diplomatic and commercial relations with Spain.

11:44The request was made by the President of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, in view

11:49of the Spanish government interference in Venezuelan sovereignty.

11:52The incident occurred after the Spanish oligarchy agreed a motion in the parliament to disregard

11:59the electoral victory of President Nicolás Maduro.

12:07That's why I'd like to urge this parliament to approve by absolute majority in an enthusiastic

12:12manner.

12:13I spur you to approve as we are outraged, but concurrently we are aware of the value

12:17that we have inherited from the glory of our liberator.

12:20So it's our duty to pass an agreement where we peremptorily request that the Bolivarian

12:24government breaks off diplomatic, consular and commercial relations with the Kingdom

12:29of Spain, those lawmakers who are in favor of the agreement presented by VICE.

12:34President Pedro Infante, please raise your hands as usual.

12:40In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro held a meeting with the Secretary General of the

12:44Organization of Oil Exporting Countries, OPEC, Eitan Ogaes, to discuss the current

12:50outlook for the international energy market.

12:52During the meeting, held in Caracas, topics such as the development of OPEC Plus by Laos

12:59and the expansions of the hydrocarbons market were discussed.

13:04This meeting was accompanied by National Cabinet authorities, as well as the President of Petróleos

13:09de Venezuela, Héctor Obregón, and the Vice President of the State Oil Company.

13:28And now changing topics in sports.

13:30In Spain, an exhibition honoring late Argentina football player Diego Armando Maradona has

13:35been running since Tuesday in Barcelona.

13:37The display, which will be open for two months, includes a hologram of young Maradona dressed

13:43in a Boca Juniors jersey as a homage to the club with which he won his only national league

13:50title.

13:51In addition, a reconstruction of his childhood home, the art square of Buenos Aires, will

13:57be shown.

14:03People come here to have fun and have a good time, and they will feel.

14:06Those who are grown-ups will feel like kids and those who feel like kids will get to know

14:09Maradona, who many don't know.

14:11They know he existed, but here it's like coming back to live, coming back to feel that Diego

14:15is next to you, and that's the idea of feeling him.

14:17That's why we have every...

14:19And with that story, we have come to the end of this news brief, but you can find this
