00:00In Peru, workers launched a 72-hour national strike against Dina Boluarte's government
00:18due to high levels of criminality that affect the country's social stability.
00:27The United Nations temporarily suspended the delivery of humanitarian aid in Haiti due
00:31to the deteriorating security situation in the country.
00:39And in Palestine, the Israeli regime killed at least 47 Palestinians and injured more
00:44than 180 in its latest attacks on Gaza.
00:53Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Caracas, Venezuela.
00:58We begin with the news, stay with us.
01:14In Peru, workers launched a 72-hour national strike against Dina Boluarte's government
01:19due to high levels of criminality that affect the country's social stability.
01:24Starting this Wednesday, workers of the transportation sector, merchants and union groups joined
01:30the strike to demand measures against crime, which affects entrepreneurs of all sectors.
01:35Those mobilized reject the crime law promoted by Boluarte's administration, which favors
01:41delinquency and the urban terrorism law.
01:45In the last year, 17,000 complaints of extortion and 2,000 cases of homicide were registered
01:51at national level without receiving any attention from the authorities.
02:01An Argentinian court upheld Wednesday a six-year prison sentence and a lifetime ban from holding
02:07public office against former President Cristina Fernández.
02:11Fernández was convicted and sentenced in 2022 by a three-judge panel for an alleged
02:17fraud scheme that embezzled millions of dollars through public works projects during her presidency.
02:23The former head of state appealed the 2022 decision, but no higher tribunal ratified
02:29the original ruling.
02:30The verdict was handed down by the judge, Gustavo Hornos, who has been questioned for
02:35his links with former President Mauricio Macri.
02:39Fernández has 10 days to appeal the decision before the Supreme Court.
02:51In El Salvador, family members demand proof of life of prisoners under the emergency regime
02:56established on March 22, 2022, under the government of Nayib Bukele.
03:01Through the Proof of Life campaign, hundreds of Salvadoran families are demanding authorities
03:06to inform about the status of many people detained without clear evidence or valid charges.
03:12The lack of access to prisoners and prohibition of visits have contributed to the uncertainty,
03:18since they do not know where their family members are or even if they are alive.
03:23According to reports from different human rights organizations, approximately 30,000
03:28of the 83,000 detainees are innocent.
03:37The United Nations temporarily suspended the delivery of humanitarian aid in Haiti due
03:44to the deteriorating security situation in the country.
03:48Humanitarian flights had to be suspended after the Haitian government decreed the closure
03:53of the Toussaint L'Ouverture airport.
03:55The decision came after criminal armed groups opened fire at an aircraft.
04:00The plane, with 48 people on board, had to be rerouted to the Dominican city of Santiago
04:06and subsequently JetBlue reported another attack against one of its aircraft.
04:11As a result, the United Nations had to delay the movement of 20 truckloads of critical
04:17medicine and supplies and is now contemplating moving its air operations to an airport in
04:22the north of the country.
04:30A new wave of violence generated by armed criminal groups spread through Haiti on Monday
04:37amid great political instability that culminated in the replacement of Prime Minister Guerri
04:43Corneille.
04:44See the details in the following report by our colleague Charlotte Dafoe.
04:53Empty streets, silent schools, closed stores, Port-au-Prince residents woke up on Monday
04:58with the warning to stay at home, as gunfire began to reverberate in several neighborhoods
05:03of the city.
05:05In the afternoon, a Spirit Airlines commercial flight was hit by gunfire and had to divert
05:10its route, which led to the suspension of air traffic over the capital.
05:14This explosion of violence occurred on the day of the nomination of the new Prime Minister,
05:19Alex Didier Fils-Aimé.
05:21In his first speech, Fils-Aimé stressed the urgency of resolving the problems of insecurity
05:26and freedom of movement in the country.
05:28The first essential task that will determine the success of the transition is to reestablish
05:44the security of people, property and infrastructure, food security and freedom of movement throughout
05:53the country.
05:57The United Nations, for their part, called on the country's political forces to overcome
06:00their differences and move towards the restoration of order.
06:03They also called on member states to collaborate with security operations on the island.
06:06The first remains a critical to that end.
06:10The Secretary General appeals to all member states to sustain and increase their security
06:15support for Haiti, including through multi-national security support mission, ensuring that it
06:21receives the financial support it needs to successfully implement its mandate and expand
06:26deployment and operations.
06:28In the latest political developments, the Secretary General urges all Haitian stakeholders
06:34to work constructively together to advance the political transition, as agreed upon on
06:39March 11 in Jamaica.
06:41A third and a half of armed gang members are children under the age of 18.
06:50According to the UN, armed gangs now control up to 85% of the capital, imposing a climate
06:55of terror on the population and making the country's democratic transition impossible.
07:00US President-elect Donald Trump arrived in Washington, D.C. to meet outgoing President
07:08Joe Biden in the White House's Oval Office.
07:11Trump's meeting with Biden comes as he moves swiftly to name his top team, including Tesla
07:16and ex-owner Elon Musk, as head of a new group aimed at cutting government expenditure.
07:23Biden invited his sworn rival to meet in the Oval Office, despite the fact that Trump,
07:28who has consistently refused to admit his 2020 election loose, never afforded Biden
07:33the same courtesy.
07:35US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Biden would go over top foreign policy
07:40issues when he meets Trump, including US support for Ukraine, which Trump has criticized.
07:47The outgoing president pledged to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition of power.

09:26In Lebanon, authorities registered a new Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
09:39Occupation forces shot down a building and attacked civilian targets in the capital's
09:43Dahije district.

09:50Haaretz Raek, south of Beirut, for allegedly being Hezbollah resistance movement locations.
09:57The Lebanese authorities have not reported or commented on any casualties.
10:01Only images of the impact of the attack have been broadcast in local media, while Israel
10:06stated that in this second phase of its ground operation, it will destroy Hezbollah's rocket
10:12launching capability.

10:38bus due to reaching high speed.
10:41He was taking a bride, a groom and their guests to celebrate a wedding at the Shagwal
10:46city in Punjab province.
10:48In addition, reports confirmed 14 deaths, including that of the bride, who died at a
10:52nearby hospital from her serious injuries.

11:33this Wednesday.
11:34Since October 21st, the presidential aspirant has called for general strike days and mobilizations
11:40against the alleged irregularities in the elections.
11:43Although the election day was calm, the observation mission of the European Union found irregularities

12:26Moussa Bihi Abdi, who has been in power since 2017 and whose mandate was extended for two
12:32years in 2022 due to the alleged technical and financial obstacles.

15:37According to a report prepared by the Catholic Church Pastoral Agency Caritas, in the last
15:43ten years, the percentage of Italian families suffering from poverty and social exclusion
15:48has increased.
15:49In 2014, it went from 6.9% to 9.7%, while in 2023, the figure reached 97.2%, only in
16:00the northern, industrialized and wealthy areas of this country.
16:04The document proposes the establishment of a universal and continuous support system
16:08to avoid the exclusion of so many people living in absolute poverty in Italy.

17:52In Pakistan, air pollution has reportedly exceeded more than 80 times in the level classified
17:57as acceptable by the World Health Organization.
18:00Precisely, the city of Lahore in the country's Punjab province remained enveloped in a thick
18:06smog resulting from low-quality diesel fumes and smoke from agricultural fires.
18:12In response, the local Environmental Protection Agency announced the imposition of new restrictions
18:17in four areas of the city, banning the use of tricycles equipped with polluting engines.

19:44capital is hazardous to health.
19:46A combination of factors, such as the burning of agricultural waste, industrial emissions
19:51and adverse weather conditions, generate a dense layer of smog that envelops the city.
