00:55in Caracas, Venezuela.
00:56We begin with the news, stay with us.
01:11In Syria, government forces have neutralized more than 400 extremists capturing terrorist

01:30powers.
01:31Syrian troops have carried out general operations in the towns of Aria and Sarmala, which have
01:37been under siege by the extremist fighters in the province of Idlib.
01:46As part of the siege by extremist groups, at least four civilians were killed by missiles
01:51at the University of the City of Aleppo.
01:54The terrorists also left more than a thousand wounded, where the Syrian Army repelled five
01:59rounds of attacks on the city of Anadan on the northwestern side.
02:19Venezuelan Secretary General Naim Kassem said in an address broadcast on Friday that he
02:24will work with the Lebanese Army to enforce the ceasefire that the group agreed with Israel.
02:30Kassem also highlighted his voluntary intentions to promote natural unity and engage in the
02:35political process.
02:39The coordination between the resistance and the Lebanese Army will be at a high level
02:43to implement the commitments of the agreement.
02:45No one is betting on problems or disagreements.
02:52We will work to preserve national unity and sovereignty, maintain civil peace and strengthen
02:56Lebanon's defensive capacities.
02:59The resistance will be ready to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of Lebanon's weakness,
03:03along with our partners in the homeland, first and foremost our national army.
03:09Israeli occupying forces have committed three new massacres in the latest 24 hours, in a
03:13gas strip claiming at least 33 lives and injuring 137 others.
03:18Palestinian authorities announced that Israel goes on with its genocide against civilians,
03:22killing thousands of Gazan families in the latest 24 hours.

03:30amounted to over 34,363, while the figure of wounded surpassed 105,070 people.
03:44The Israeli regime dropped shelling on a five-floor building al-Saitoun, Gaza's southern
03:49town, killing a young man and injuring several others on Thursday evening.
03:53Furthermore, the Israeli drums even target paramedic teams to stop them from providing
03:58medical assistance, murdering the head of the intensive care department at Kamala Allen
04:03Hospital in northern Gaza.
04:09How many TV channels are there?
04:11Are they all blind and have dead hearts?
04:13They do not hear, see or feel.
04:15They do not hear the screams of orphans or the screams of mothers at night, and they
04:19do not see us running and carrying bags all day long because a tank is at the door.
04:24Who do I appeal to?
04:25We are tired of meetings and programs and we are fed up with the news.
04:29No one feels for us.
04:34Countries around the world celebrate an international date of solidarity with the people of Palestine
04:38in the midst of the genocidal operations carried out by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.
04:43On November the 29th, the international community is focused on defense and struggle for a free
04:48and independent Palestine after the approval of the Resolution 181 and 1947 in the United
04:54Nations stipulating the creation of a Jewish state and an Arab state in Palestine.
04:59However, only a part of this reform has been accomplished, that is the creation of an Israeli
05:05state.
05:06In this way, the international community reaffirms its historical claims for an independent Palestinian
05:11state in the midst of Zionist genocide, which has claimed the lives of more than 44,000
05:15civilians since October 7, 2023.
05:22In Venezuela, an international conference in solidarity with Palestine is being held
05:26in Caracas aimed at reaffirming the South American nation's firm stance against the
05:30Zionist genocide in the region.
05:32With the participation of more than 119 delegations from 52 countries, the conference is led by
05:39President Nicolás Maduro and members of the Venezuelan Executive Cabinet, including
05:42Foreign Minister Iván Gil.
05:44Precisely, Gil denounced the 76 years of the Israeli massacres that has claimed the lives
05:48of millions of innocent people, urging the international community to take measures to
05:52stop the ongoing genocide.
05:54The Venezuelan Foreign Minister also affirmed the right of the Palestinian people to freedom
05:57and sovereignty.
06:02The right of the sovereign Palestinian people to live freely on their land.
06:08To live in sovereignty, to determine their destiny, to advance in the improvement of
06:12their well-being, with their knowledge, with their wisdom, with their millenarian history.
06:22The Cuban people also showing its solidarity with the Palestinian cause on Friday denouncing
06:27the Zionist genocide on the region through an unimperialist tribute and a cultural gala.
06:33President Miguel Díaz-Canel led a tribute held in the central Cuba province of Sancti
06:38Espiritu, where thousands gathered to express the nation's unconditional support for the
06:42right of Palestine to be a free and sovereign state.
06:46In addition, in the capital Havana, a cultural event was held with the participation of national
06:51and foreign students and citizens who demanded an immediate cessation to the Israeli-occupied
06:56aggressions.
06:57This is a way the Caribbean nation once again seconded the U.S. complicity in the Israeli
07:02offensive, which has caused the death of over 4,000 Palestinians since October 2023, as
07:07well.

07:29their lives in England and Wales.

07:40passionate debate.
07:41The bill passing allows the proposed legislation to advance to the next stage of parliamentary
07:48scrutiny and approval before it becomes law.
07:51Supporters of the bill said the law would provide dignity to the dying and prevent unnecessary
07:56suffering while ensuring there are enough safeguards to prevent those near to end their
08:01lives from being forced into taking their own lives.
08:05On the other hand, opponents said it would put vulnerable people at risk, potentially
08:10the court directly or indirectly to end their lives so they don't become a bonder.
08:22In this context, supporters of the bill addressed MPs hats and hoodies celebrated at Parliament
08:28Square the historic vote of right to assist the dying.
08:33A majority of MPs have voted for real change.
08:37They voted for a safer, fairer and more compassionate future for dying people and I'm incredibly
08:45relieved and overjoyed to see that.
08:48It's only the first stage in this bill becoming law but finally there is real hope for those

11:54The government has ordered us to work to prevent us from striking, after passing a
11:58budget law without consulting the unions in any way.
12:02They want our silence, and they want to enforce it by force.
12:06Today, we will show that workers can stand up for themselves and fight against a government
12:11that is against workers.
12:19We are out here with all the workers to protest against this financial bill, which fails to
12:23provide contracts with adequate economic recognition for all workers, including those
12:27in health care and beyond.
