00:23residential buildings.
00:28In Russia, the armed forces carried out an attack using US-made long-range ballistic
00:33missiles against a facility in the province of Priyansk.

00:45base to settle around 2,000 soldiers in Port-au-Prince.
00:55Hello and welcome from the south, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from the Lesoth Studios in Havana,
00:59Cuba.
01:00We begin with the news.
01:18The United States supports the Israeli Genocide Offensive against Palestine during the 45th
01:22day siege on Gaza Strip, preventing humanitarian aid to enter and the ongoing shellings on
01:28residential buildings.
01:29Syringe bombs are even usual in refugee camps, devastating all Palestine, whose current harsh
01:34climate made the crisis more catastrophic.
01:36In this context, the local resistance has been fighting off Israeli strikes, having
01:41reported casualties and wounded in the latest hours.
01:44Meanwhile, the death toll of children and women under the rubble go on a rise due to
01:48Israeli shellings on buildings.
01:51Those organizations describe a desperate humanitarian situation in view of the prolonged Israeli
01:55siege and war.
02:04At least two people were killed and several wounded after Israeli forces bombed southern
02:08Lebanon.
02:09According to the Lebanese National News Agency, two people were killed and several injured
02:12overnight as Israeli forces continued to bomb the southern governorate of Nabatier al-Fawqa
02:18as well as Fahd Rahman.
02:20The agency also reported that Israeli strikes hit near the Navif Berry-Gorman University
02:25Hospital in the city of Nabatier.
02:27Homes in the towns of Ansarieh and Bin-Bail were also targeted.
02:39An U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East, Amos Hoshton, landed on Tuesday in Beirut,
02:43where preliminary talks on a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon are expected to begin.
02:49In addition, Spokesperson of the U.S. State Department Matthew Miller assured that both
02:53Beirut and Tel Aviv would have reacted positively to the efforts mediated by France.
02:58The conditions for the ceasefire did not transcend, but it was known that Hezbollah knew the terms.
03:05As was the case with failed truce attempts in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
03:10granted on Monday that even if the efforts were successful, he would continue to attack
03:15Hezbollah to prevent its reconstruction.
03:23And several missiles of the Hezbollah Lebanese Resistance directly have counter-attacked
03:28Tel Aviv after the Israeli shellings on the suburbs of Beirut.
03:32The Israeli occupying police detailed that one of the missiles crashed into a building
03:37in Ramat Gan, causing damage and injuries.
03:40Official reports revealed that the strike made a power grid to be cut off in certain
03:44areas of Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport, leaving the city without connections.
03:48Six firefighting teams have been mobilized to extinguish the fires bursted out by the
03:52impacts.
03:53Hours earlier, an Israeli raid in a Beirut neighborhood left at least 10 dead and 25
04:06injured.
04:14Several missiles of the Hezbollah Lebanese Resistance directly have counter-attacked
04:19Tel Aviv after the Israeli shellings on the suburbs of Beirut.
04:22The Israeli occupying police detailed that one of the missiles crashed into a building
04:27in Ramat Gan, causing damage and injuries.
04:30Official reports revealed that the strike made a power grid to be cut off in certain
04:35areas of Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport.
04:49In Russia, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out an attack using US-made long-range ballistic
04:53missiles against a facility in the province of Bryansk.
04:56According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the attack used six US-made operational tactical
05:01missiles.
05:02The institution detailed that five of these projectiles were shot down with the use of
05:05the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft system, the Pantsir anti-aircraft missile and artillery
05:10weapon systems, while the sixth one was damaged.
05:13Fragments of the damaged missile fell on the technical territory of a military facility
05:17in the Bryansk Oblast, causing a fire that was quickly extinguished.
05:20This attack follows reports that US President Joe Biden authorized Ukraine to strike inside
05:25Russia with long-range missiles.
05:35On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the updated nuclear doctrine.
05:39According to the document, nuclear deterrence is defensive in nature.
05:43The new doctrine significantly broadens the type of threats to which Moscow will respond
05:48and aims to improve state policy in the area of nuclear deterrence.
05:51The document reiterates that the use of nuclear weapons is an extreme measure.
05:55The doctrine aimed at ensuring the security of sovereignty and territorial integrity incorporated
06:00changes that were endorsed by President Putin on Tuesday amid discussions by some members
06:05of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on whether or not to allow Ukraine to attack
06:10the territory with missiles.
06:19Russian forces operating in Syria established nine observation points on the line of separation
06:23in the occupied Syrian Golan.
06:25Russian Forces Deputy Commander Alexander Rodionov stated that the mission is to conduct
06:30air and ground surveillance.
06:31The Syrian Arab Army explained that deployment of Russian military police units improves
06:36stability and security in the territory.
06:38Rodionov also clarified that the cooperation and coordination between the Syrian Arab Army
06:43and the Russian forces strengthens security in the region and helps people return to their
06:48lands and their daily life.
07:07The U.S. National Weather Service reported that the northwest region prepares for the
07:10arrival of a storm that is expected to bring heavy rains and flooding.
07:14The agency warned that the storm could be long-lasting, therefore it urged the public
07:19to be prepared and comply with the recommended measures.
07:22California is the most vulnerable state, an alert was issued as flash flooding, power
07:27outages and natural damage are expected when the storm reaches its maximum intensity.
07:32Some areas in the northwestern part of the country could be targeted by the effects of
07:36the cyclone, with possible landslides and rockslides.
07:44Now we have a short break coming up, but first remember you can join us on Tiktok at TELESPORTENGLISH,
07:48where you'll find news in different formats, news updates and much more.
07:52We'll be right back, stay with us.
08:06Welcome back.
08:14In Brazil, G20 leaders agree on final declaration focusing on climate change, hunger and condemnation
08:19of wars and terrorism.
08:20The 19 heads of state signed a document with ground agreements on issues such as climate
08:25change, hunger and taxes on large fortunes.
08:28Likewise, and in line with the United Nations Charter, they condemn wars and terrorism,
08:33emphasizing that all states must refrain from the use of force against the sovereignty
08:37of others.
08:38The United States and the European Union pushed to include a condemnation of Russia, which
08:42did not went further, however, it does allude to the human suffering and negative impacts
08:47of the conflicts in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
08:56The G20 Summit, a group that brings together the 19 main economies of the world, the European
09:02Union and the African Union, started this Monday in Rio de Janeiro.
09:07Fifty-five delegations and representatives from 40 countries, including guests, are participating
09:12in the meeting.
09:13The meeting is closed to the public, who on the other side of the street watched the arrival
09:17of the leaders and sent them a message.
09:21The United States is present in countries waging war, massacring peoples and plundering
09:26wealth.
09:27At the opening of the meeting, Brazilian President Lula da Silva launched the Global
09:34Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty with 148 adherents, 82 countries in all.
09:41The goal of the partnership is to benefit 500 million people in the poorest countries
09:45through public policies for income distribution by 2030.
09:49The Inter-American Development Bank announced a donation of $25 billion.
09:54At the last minute, the president of Argentina decided to sign the pact and managed to be
09:59in the photo of the Global Alliance.
10:08Although he announced that he was not going to sign, the president of Argentina signed
10:12the Global Pact Against Hunger.
10:18This is a first positive sign from this president of adherence to the Global Pact and now we
10:22will see how the Mercosur will be.
10:30The meeting in Rio de Janeiro is being held under the theme Building a Just World and
10:34a Sustainable Planet.
10:36But the G20 countries account for 85% of the gross domestic product and are the biggest
10:41polluters on the planet.
10:43For Lula da Silva, it is essential to tame the super-rich in order to find the
10:52resources to face the major global problems.
11:00From Iraq to Ukraine, from Bosnia to Gaza, the perception that not all territories deserve
11:05to have their integrity respected and not all lives have the same value has been consolidated.
11:15Disastrous interventions to subvert order in Afghanistan and Libya, indifference has
11:20relegated Sudan and Haiti to oblivion.
11:28The summit will end this Tuesday after a series of activities that began a year ago.
11:33In the midst of wars, genocide, climate crisis, what consensus will emerge among the world's
11:39richest countries?
11:45The French President Emmanuel Macron sharply criticized a global governance that does not
11:50work out on issues communicated that not many people read, though he proposed a high-level
11:54group to work on the revision.
11:59This system is not working well, and I say that to be polite and understated, because
12:04in recent years we haven't shown our ability to prevent or resolve conflicts.
12:10As we speak, there are 57 conflicts around the world.
12:15Our effectiveness is insufficient, and our representation is lacking.
12:25The risk is high.
12:27Unfortunately, I am one of the veterans at this table.
12:31The risk is high of having the same meeting in a year, with the same people, saying, we're
12:36going to do it, and becoming specialists in, we're going to do it.
12:42So if you are fully aligned, I think we should set up a high-level working group, a Rio-Johannesburg
12:48working group.
12:52In this context, Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo and his Russian counterpart
12:56Sergei Lavrov agreed on creating a working group to investigate mercenaries involved
13:00in the Ukrainian conflict.
13:01On the meeting, their representatives decided to form a team to review the cases.
13:06Murillo deemed that although the participation of these citizens in the conflict is an autonomous
13:10decision, it is a matter of interest of the executives of the Colombian Ministry of Recovery.
13:15The parliament is currently debating on passing a treaty of accession to regulate and ban
13:19mercenary practices.
13:21Lavrov highlighted that Ukraine paid them off $3,000 a month to lead the mission.
13:31In our news, Cuba's National Defense Council, led by President Miguel DÃaz-Canel, discussed
13:35the island's recovery following powerful hurricanes and earthquakes.
13:39The Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la Oleve, reported that Havana has 99.99%
13:44of power service, and the most affected provinces, such as Artemisa and Mayaveque, have 51.6%
13:50and 97.71% of power, respectively.
13:53Authorities added that water supply has been fully restored in Mayaveque, in Artemisa 74%
13:58of the province has water supply services.
14:01The Chief of the National General Staff of the Civil Defense registered their progress
14:05in Granma, hit by a 6.0 and 6.7 earthquakes.
14:35Welcome back.
14:50In response to the escalation of armed violence, the Haitian government opened a new military
14:54base to garrison around 2,000 soldiers in Port-au-Prince.
14:58The event was held with the celebrations of the 221st anniversary of the Battle of Berthières
15:04On his opening address, the President of the Transition Council, Leslie Voltaire, underscored
15:09that the current crisis of violence poses a very serious threat, noting that the military
15:13base is paramount to re-establish national security.
15:16Paving the way for that direction, Voltaire promised to train at least 2,500 new recruits
15:22in the next couple of months to counteract the fact that armed criminal groups have gained
15:26ground on the government in the capital.
15:35The International Organization for Migration denounced that the wave of violence triggered
15:38by criminal groups generated some 20,000 displaced in the last four days in Haiti.
15:43In this context, the agency claimed that the crisis has disrupted essential supply chains
15:48and left the city totally isolated, while many Haitians have repeatedly been forced
15:52to flee from violence.
15:54Over 17,000 citizens who had sheltered in 15 displacement sites were compelled to leave
16:00what they had managed to rebuild.
16:02According to data from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights,
16:08violence related to clashes between criminal groups has left a death toll of nearly 4,000
16:13in 2024.
16:14On the other hand, the United Nations Humanitarian Aid Service announced that food aid flights
16:24to Haiti will resume their route after a week-long suspension of flights.
16:29Agency made a regulatory pause after three commercial airplanes were hit by gunfire from
16:33local criminal groups, and the suspension was decreed.
16:36Measures according to human rights organizations further condemn smothering the Port-au-Prince
16:41population as they are dealing with the violence of criminal groups armed with weapons and
16:47ammunition coming from the United States.
16:55On the first debate, the Colombian House of Representatives voted by absolute majority
17:00in favor of the health reform presented by the government of President Gustavo Petro.
17:05The bill received 14 votes in favor and 4 ballots against.
17:10Article 6 to twist an exclusive and impeccable health system.
17:14Therefore, in the first four sessions of the first discussion, it gained a lot of acceptance
17:19as six new articles had been passed to the 58 initial articles of the reform.
17:24After going through this first stage, the proposal would advance to the second debate,
17:28which will be held in the Chamber's plenary.
17:31The Minister of Health praised the significant support of the majority of political sectors.
17:39In Colombia, a Spanish communications company consolidates its power in the sector, a situation
17:47rejected by the country's Central Workers' Union.
17:54Diego is one of more than 30 workers of Channel One, CMI News program, who were laid off after
18:00the acquisition of that television space by the Spanish communications company Prisa.
18:04In addition to Diego, more than 180 workers have been left at risk in what constitutes
18:08the largest action of massive layoffs resulting from this transaction between the concessionaire
18:13that operates Channel One and the Spanish company, to whom the entire control of the
18:17programming grid, contents, and commercial exploitation was handed over, where the workers
18:21were not taken into account, leaving many of them adrift.
18:29They should have also thought about the people who work there, the families, the households.
18:34There were more or less 130 of us from CMI.
18:38We are in the diverse, because there are people who could have come out of the situation
18:41better, but others who could not, as in my case.
18:45There are those of us who do not have a job at the moment, and we have to see what we
18:49will do, to see what solution they give us.
18:52But unfortunately when they make these changes, these contributions, the giant companies do
18:57not look at the employee, they do not look at the employee's welfare as such.
19:01They care about closing the business, they have their share, they liquidate, the other
19:05people do not matter to them.
19:07They do not care about those people.
19:17The Central Workers' Union rejected the layoffs following this operation, in which CMI had
19:2132 years of experience, a formal company on which nearly 100 direct jobs depended and
19:27whose contents are now replaced by the contents of Caracol Radio, a subsidiary of the Prisa
19:31Group in the country.
19:36There should have been an issue of change of employer, and therefore of employer substitution.
19:41But no, here, the workers are nowhere to be seen by the gentlemen of Caracol Prisa.
19:51But these are not the only irregularities.
19:53According to the same Workers' Unitary Central and some congressmen, the space occupied by
19:58CMI is a public character, which now cannot be exploited and used by a private without
20:02prior bidding, which constitutes a violation of the law and which gives rise to the formation
20:08of a monopoly of some sectors of communication, which represents a violation of national sovereignty.
20:18It is pertinent to ask what happened, how the deal was agreed and how it was structured,
20:22since it is an absolutely legal fact and it should be explained why the Haste Group arrived
20:26with altruistic kindness to save the channel with serious economic difficulties in a process
20:30plagued with opacity in which nothing more and nothing less than the privatization of
20:34a public channel through the backdoor is at stake, and also without knowing in exchange
20:38for what.
20:43In view of these irregular situations, the Minister of Technologies, Information and
20:47Communications, Mauricio Lizcano, will be called to a political control debate in the
20:52Congress of the Republic in order to explain to the country why he did not make the proper
20:56intervention and control of this operation on a public media in the hands of a private
21:00company, which increases the monopoly of the media in the hands of economic conglomerates
21:05in the country.
21:10In Nicaragua, the government ratified its prepare to promote the interoceanic canal
21:14to improve global maritime transport.
21:16In the 17th China-Latin American-Caribbean Business Summit held in Managua, the president
21:21of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, during his speech returned to the subject of the interoceanic
21:25canal as a solution to the transit of goods through the region.
21:29The head of state extended an invitation to join this project while reiterating the importance
21:33of maritime transport for the economic growth and development of nations.
21:37Ortega also denounced that this project is the reason why the United States has taken
21:40action against his country.
21:49So dear brothers and sisters, I conclude by telling you, here is Nicaragua, ready to contribute
21:56with that step, that will give more fluidity to maritime transport, to commerce, and we
22:03invite you, we invite you all, and we are going to send you more information, because
22:10many studies have been made, since the one I told you, that was done by the US Marine
22:17Corps engineers in the year 1866.
22:25We have come to the end of this news brief.
