01:30The encounter was aimed at advancing the terms of cooperation agreements that will be signed
01:35in Caracas, Venezuela.
01:36In this regard, Solomonovich stated that the progress in the relationship with the Latin
01:41American country is the result of the close contacts between President Nicolás Maduro
01:46and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
01:49For his part, Minister Náñez highlighted important issues discussed, such as the resurgence
01:54of fascism in the West, the use of artificial intelligence to manipulate reality and the
01:59importance of creating anti-hegemonic media.
02:09In Cuba, the Director of Electricity of the Ministry of Energy and Mines, Lázaro Guerra
02:13Hernández, informed Monday that 98.36% of power has been restored in Havana.

03:16Law for Justice of Communal Peace.
03:18The proposal seeks to organize the community peace justice system and modify and establish
03:23aspects related to the organization and operation of the communal territories.
03:28Likewise, the law looks to empower the people in decision-making and provide legal tools
03:33for the resolution of problems within the community spaces throughout the country.
03:38It is important to highlight that the reform was previously consulted with the Venezuelan
03:43people by the deputies where the proposals and feedback of the population were also taken
03:48into account.
03:56In Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum urged her fellow countrymen to approach the Mexican

04:11Republican transition cabinet to coordinate important details about the relationship between
04:16both governments.
04:18In this regard, President Sheinbaum commented that she is working on the economic relationship,
04:23migration security and other high-level issues.
04:26The president said that her government is reinforcing consulates to protect Mexican
04:31citizens who are outside the country.
04:38We are reinforcing the consulates and we are informing our sisters and brothers in the
04:44United States that we will always defend them by telling them to approach the consulates.
04:51And on the other hand, we are also working on holding a meeting, in due course if possible,
05:04a meeting to be held with the transition cabinet of President Trump and the Mexican authorities
05:08in order to be able to advance in coordination.
05:14A World Bank report revealed that Argentina leads the world ranking in food inflation

05:41The report revealed that as a consequence of the price hikes, consumption in Argentina

05:55and social measures.
06:00And now we have a short break coming up, but before we invite you to join us on TikTok
06:07at TELESURY ENGLISH, where you'll find news in different formats, news updates and more.

06:29Welcome back.
06:51The United Nations denounces the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip due
06:56to the shortage of essential supplies as a result of the Israeli blockade.
07:00The organization warned that the levels of aid reached in Gaza have decreased as the
07:05Israeli occupation progresses, with the north of the Gaza Strip being the most affected
07:10by Tel Aviv's blockade policies.
07:12The United Nations also reported that requests made to Israel to allow the entry of humanitarian
07:17aid have been rejected by Tel Aviv several times.
07:20In addition, it warns that Tel Aviv's blockade affects the distribution of food and other
07:25supplies necessary for the functioning of hospitals and shelters resulting in an imminent
07:30famine crisis in northern Gaza.
07:40It's been almost three months since I received any aid box from UNICEF.
07:44It is difficult to get the necessary things to live.
07:47Everything in our lives is expensive.
07:49Besides, the canned food we receive is not enough for a family of nine people.
07:55The situation is going from bad to worse.
07:57We have not received any help for six months.
08:00Thank God.
08:01We hope that the whole world will look at us with compassion for this affliction in
08:04which we are living.
08:06Palestinian civil defense spokesman Mahmoud Bassal warned that the Israeli regime is planning
08:12to attack the al-Sawija market and the Baptist hospital.
08:19The Israeli occupation is targeting al-Zawiya market, next to the Baptist hospital.
08:23It is considered a vital and crowded market.
08:27And hundreds of citizens come to it 24 hours a day.
08:30They were targeted by a missile.
08:33They arrived at the Baptist hospital.
08:35So far, 30 people have been wounded, mostly women and children.
08:39Medical teams are trying to save lives.
08:42Citizens of the Gaza Strip denounced that Israeli attack a market area crowded with citizens
08:48leaving several people wounded.
08:53We are residents of the area.
08:55I was walking at the market, and I was walking by this street.
08:59Suddenly, there was a big explosion.
09:01It seemed to be a missile.
09:03There were martyrs and wounded, all of them children, women and citizens who were walking
09:07by the street.
09:09They were all shot.
09:11Look at the shrapnel.
09:12There is shrapnel everywhere.
09:14On Tuesday, the interim chief of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian
09:19Affairs, Joyce Souja, condemned daily cruelty in Gaza as Israel continues its daily bombardment
09:25of the Palestinian territory.

09:36This has led to increasing hunger, starvation, and now, as we have heard, potentially famine.
09:44We are witnessing acts reminiscent of the gravest international crimes.
09:52Ambulances have been destroyed, and hospitals have come under attack.
09:59Supplies to the north are being cut off, and people are being pushed farther south.
10:05The daily cruelty we see in Gaza seems to have no limits.
10:11Likewise, the United Nations official denounced the dehumanization of civilians in Gaza who
10:16suffer human abuses and face a critical humanitarian situation.
10:23We have condemned the death, destruction, and dehumanization of civilians in Gaza who
10:31have been driven from their homes, stripped of their sense of place and dignity, forced
10:39to witness their family members killed, burned, and buried alive.
10:46The Palestinian government condemned on Tuesday statements made by Israeli officials seeking
10:51to impose their plan and sovereignty over the West Bank.
10:54The Palestinian Foreign Ministry labelled these statements as colonialist and racist
10:59as they constitute an extension of the genocidal war of displacement against the Palestinian
11:04people.
11:05The Foreign Ministry further denounced such statements as a persistent disregard for international
11:11legitimacy, United Nations resolutions, and the international consensus reached on the
11:17two-state solution.
11:18For his part, the Israeli Minister of Finance, Bessalel Smatric, said that Israel will forever
11:24take from the Palestinians the territories occupied by Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

12:51who occupied the Russian territory of Donetsk.
12:55Russian troops also neutralized multiple warehouses where the Ukrainian forces were storing military
13:00arsenals and ammunition.
13:02The Kremlin highlighted the precision levels of the operation in leaving considerable casualties
13:07to the Kaif regime with no reported civilian casualties or damage to essential infrastructure
13:13or housing.
13:14The governments of Russia and China held the 19th Annual Strategic Security Consultation
13:27Round on the development of the two countries.
13:29Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu discussed
13:35ways to strengthen and safeguard the relations between the two countries and jointly promote
13:41security.
13:43Wang Yi, in turn, called for enhancing bilateral exchange and cooperation and coordination
13:47between Moscow and Beijing in the midst of the international conflicts, with the aim
13:52of providing a solid warranty for boosting high-level developments.
