00:00The United Nations Conference on Climate Change opened in Baku, Azerbaijan to address the

00:09climate crisis and agree on measures to combat rising global temperatures.

00:16In Saudi Arabia, Arab and Islamic countries made an extraordinary summit to discuss the

00:20repercussions of Israel's genocide against Middle Eastern nations.

00:27And in Venezuela, Attorney General Tarek William Saab denounced media campaigns carried out

00:30against democracy in the country.

00:37Hello welcome to From the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Televisual Studios in Havana,

00:42Cuba.

00:43We begin with the news.

00:44The United Nations Conference on Climate Change opened in Baku, Azerbaijan to address the

01:03climate crisis and agree on measures to combat rising global temperatures.

01:07At the opening of the event, COM 29's President Muhtar Babayev warned that the climate crisis

01:12is not a future problem but a present one, as he reflected on recent natural disasters.

01:17The official stressed that this summit aims to agree on a new climate finance target to

01:22ensure that all countries have the necessary means to adopt such stronger climate measures.

01:27He also reiterated that the UN has called for urgent collective action led by the G20

01:32group to reduce extreme weather events.

01:42But we need much more from all of you.

01:46When I want to be crystal clear about our expectations, our plan is based on two pillars

01:54to enhance ambition and enable action.

01:59This means setting out clear climate plans and delivering the finance we need.

02:05These two pillars are mutually reinforcing, each sending a strong signal to the other.

02:12Because as we mobilize climate finance, we allow for higher ambitions.

02:18And as we signal together higher ambition, we build trust to unlock greater financial

02:24commitments.

02:27Dear colleagues, to enable action, the COP 29 Presidency's top priority is to agree

02:34a fair and ambitious new collective quantified goal on climate finance.

02:41All Sinan Serpajan protested inside the COP 29 headquarters in Baku, calling for climate

02:47justice and demanding a halt to the genocide against Palestine.

02:51During the day, pro-Palestinian demonstrators carried banners to demand greater action from

02:55the governments of the nations regarding the situation in the Palestinian enclave.

03:01Activists also pointed out that there can be no climate justice without respect for

03:04human rights.

03:12We all understand that there can be no climate justice without human rights.

03:17If we can't stop the genocide in Palestine, we can't stop the genocide that is coming

03:22in terms of climate violence.

03:24When governments come here and say they don't have climate finance to help developing countries,

03:29but they find money for bombs and weapons, when you are destroying international law

03:33itself and the rules-based system, the very system we rely on to address the climate crisis,

03:40it compels all people of conscience to speak out.

03:43In this regard, activists call on the global north to provide the climate finance needed

03:49at COP 29 and to halt the finance of the genocide against Gaza.

03:56That is why, on the first day of COP 29, our main message is one of solidarity, solidarity

04:02with Palestine, and justice and accountability to the global north.

04:07It is therefore about asking the global north to provide the climate finance that is needed

04:11at this COP and to stop funding genocide in Gaza.

04:17And close to 70 countries around the world participate on Monday in the Global South

04:21Media and Think Tank Forum held in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

04:25The meeting welcomes 350 representatives of 170 organizations, companies, journalists,

04:29governments, among others, to address common realities and challenges in order to consolidate

04:35a platform for cultural exchange and cooperation.

04:38China and Brazil, as organizers of the forum, sent a message to the attendees highlighting

04:43the fundamental role of the nations of the Global South in the current contemporary scenario.

04:48Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a letter to the forum expressing his country's willingness

04:52to promote multilateralism and to advocate an equitable and orderly multi-polarity in

04:58the world.

04:59In an exclusive interview for Telesur within the framework of the Global South Media and

05:07Think Tank Forum, Venezuelan Communication Minister Freddy Náñez emphasized that this

05:13region has a strategic vision created by the countries that fought against colonization

05:17and fought for their independence.

05:21We must first recognize the positive leadership that China has been exercising in the construction

05:26of new international relations, based on values of complementarity.

05:31The Global South, which is a strategic vision that the countries that have fought against

05:35colonization and have fought for independence have had, the Global South is a new opportunity

05:39for humanity.

05:41Humanity can live in peace, as long as it lives in balance and in recognition of differences.

05:46These are the values that this meeting convened by Xinhua proposes.

05:53In the same context, the president of our news multi-platform Telesur, Patricia Villegas,

05:58announced the signing of a cooperation agreement with the Chinese news agency Xinhua.

06:03During the first media summit of Global South, Telesur president Villegas said the newly

06:06signed macro-cooperation agreement with Xinhua will allow the multi-platform to deepen the

06:11already strong relationship with the Chinese media.

06:16Let's now take our first short break, but before we invite you to join us on Tiktok

07:04Welcome back.

07:06The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its categorical rejection to the Israeli aggression

07:10against the Palestinian people and demanded the end of the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

07:15On Monday, in the inaugural speech of the joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit in

07:20Riyadh, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia Mohammed Bin Salman called for

07:24the need to end the illegal Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territory, stressing the

07:28importance of continuing joint efforts to establish a Palestinian state on the 1967

07:34borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

07:37In addition, he reaffirmed the Kingdom's support for Palestine and Lebanon to overcome

07:42their current humanitarian situation and called on the international community to assume its

07:45responsibilities to preserve international peace and security.

07:53We support our brothers in Palestine and the Kingdom condemns the prevention of UNRWA from

07:58carrying out its role and refuses to obstruct the work of the humanitarian agencies in Gaza.

08:04The summit is being held in view of the continuing Israeli attacks against the Palestinians and

08:08the need for the creation of a Palestinian state.

08:11We reject the diminished role of the Palestinian Authority, as it is entitled to full membership

08:16in the United Nations, and we have launched a global initiative to support the solution

08:21of two states.

08:22We also condemn the Israeli attacks on Iranian territory.

08:27Within the framework of the Arab-Islamic Summit, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad stressed

08:31the urgent need to take practical and feasible measures to stop the aggressions and crimes

08:35committed by Israel in the region.

08:41We have to decide our options, either by condemning, boycotting or calling on the international

08:46community.

08:48What is our implementation plan?

08:49We are not dealing with a state, but with a colonial and murderous entity, and we are

08:53not dealing with a nation but with herds of settlers, which are reflected in Israeli barbarism.

09:00On the other hand, Lebanese Prime Minister Nayib Bekradi recalled that the basis of the

09:04meeting continues to be the immediate end of the Israeli aggression against countries

09:08in the region.

09:14The basis remains the immediate end of the ongoing aggression against Lebanon, the declaration

09:18of a ceasefire and the establishment of the groundwork for sustainable stability.

09:23Also to reiterate the Lebanese government's firm and unwavering commitment to UN Resolution

09:271701 in all its aspects, to reinforce the deployment of the army in the south in close

09:33cooperation with international peacekeeping forces, and to work for the extension of the

09:37Lebanese state authority to all internationally recognized borders.

09:43In the Netherlands, at least 62 people were arrested by the police during a demonstration

09:47in defense of the Palestinian people.

09:50Demonstrators gathered on Sunday in Amsterdam's Dam Square in defense of the right to free

09:54protest after local authorities banned demonstrations in support of Palestinians, following an altercation

09:59with supporters of the Israeli soccer team Maccabi Tel Aviv after a European League match.

10:05Demonstrators stated that rejecting Tel Aviv's genocidal policies is not an anti-Semitic

10:09action but an act of justice in the face of the violent acts.

10:13Citizens denounced a policy of segregation by local authorities who reject any action

10:17in favor of the Palestinian people.

10:24And in Belarus, the government confirmed that it has officially become a partner country

10:28of the BRICS bloc.

10:29The Belarusian foreign ministry said that on November 5th, President Alexander Lukashenko

10:33sent a letter to the pro-Tempera president of the group, Vladimir Putin, in which he

10:37conveyed his willingness to join BRICS.

10:40The foreign ministry confirmed that President Putin responded to the letter with an invitation

10:44to Belarus' government to become a member of the BRICS.

10:47The partner country's status allows Belarus, among other things, to participate in special

10:53sessions and foreign ministers' meetings of the BRICS group.

11:00And in Russia, the crumbling government denied on Monday reports that claim the U.S. President

11:05Electoral Trump has spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where Trump had allegedly

11:10urged Putin to not escalate the conflict in Ukraine.

11:13Casting the media reports as pure fiction, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the report

11:18was completely untrue, fake news, and the most obvious example of the quality of the

11:23information that is being published nowadays.

11:26Asked if Putin had plans for any contact with Trump, the Russian government spokesman insisted

11:31there are no concrete plans yet.

12:12The Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro fine-tuned details for the Congress of the

12:20Historic Bolivarian Bloc, which will set the action agenda for the next government term.

12:25The Venezuelan leader met with the coordinating team of the Five Generations of the Bolivarian

12:30Revolution, with a view to finalizing the details for the Congress of the Historic Bloc,

12:35which will take place on November 15th, where the project of the Seven Transformations will

12:39be synthesized.

12:41The Venezuelan head of state assured that now the next step is to develop the more than

12:44500,000 proposals made during the assemblies.

12:47Maduro also pointed out that Venezuela is the only country where its executive sets

12:52up a government action agenda by means of popular consultation.

13:00And Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek William Zab denounced on Monday the media campaigns

13:05carried out against democracy in the country, linked to the events that occurred after the

13:09presidential elections held on July.

13:11The official described the campaigns as mercenary attempts to discredit the Venezuelan democratic

13:16system and its justice system, in the face of the actions of criminal groups promoted

13:21by the so-called Comanditos and the extreme right.

13:25Zab also detailed that the violence registered after July 28th, 2024, left 28 dead and thousands

13:31of wounded, as well as 486 properties destroyed.

13:39In the face of the unfortunate, nefarious and criminal events that occurred as of July

13:5128th, particularly on July 29th and 30th, which unleashed a wave of violence that killed

14:05and injured many people and which led to the total destruction of schools, mayor's offices,

14:10food warehouses etc.

14:19By whom?

14:20By people bearing the national flag to express their ideas in a square.

14:33By individuals who used bombs and firearms, who together with conventional weapons, used

14:39also non-conventional weapons to wickedly kill and injure innocent Venezuelan men and

14:44women.

14:49The Attorney General of Venezuela Tarek William Zab also pointed out that those involved in

14:53the violent events following the presidential elections held on July 28th are not political

14:57prisoners but criminals who carried out terrorist actions.

15:05It should be recalled that they were supposedly against, let's put it in quotation marks,

15:10the electoral results that were transmitted in real time by the only authority that has

15:15the legal, juridical and constitutional capacity to do so in Venezuela and in the world, which

15:25is the electoral power.

15:28They used that as an excuse to provoke the tragic figure of 28 dead and more than a thousand

15:33wounded.

15:40These people are not political prisoners, they are not prisoners of conscience.

15:46Unfortunately, they are criminals, who carried out terrorist actions, paid by the so-called

15:56comanditos and this is how we are going to present it in detail and unleash, that was

16:02the objective, they wanted to unleash a civil war in Venezuela.

16:09Ecuador's Ministry of Energy and Mines announced a new increase in blackout schedules from

16:13Monday, November 11th to Tuesday, November 12th.

16:16The latest power cuts will last at least 12 hours during these days.

16:20The same way, authorities assure that measures will be implemented to guarantee the compliance

16:25of the disconnection schedules and the energy distribution companies that are not compliant

16:30with established schedules will receive administrative sanctions.

16:33Experts warn that the energy crisis in the country has worsened in the last months due

16:37to the lack of investment in the pending electric system, which entered into crisis due to the

16:42lack of rain in the region.

16:49The Argentine government has renamed the Néstor Kirchner gas pipeline in its attempt to erase

16:53political and ideological cultural symbols of the country.

16:57The decision was made known by a resolution issued by the Secretary of Energy of the nation's

17:02Ministry of Economy, where it was informed that as of Monday, the pipeline's name will

17:06be Perito Francisco Pascasio Moreno Gas Pipeline, that is after an Argentine prominent scientist

17:13and explorer.

17:14Since he took office, President Javier Melea has eliminated institutions and ministries,

17:19as well as changed the names of the Kirchner Cultural Center and the Women's Hall of the

17:23Casa Rosada.
