00:00The first Vice President of the Venezuelan United Socialist Party, Diosdado Cabello,
00:10emphasized that the recent sanctions imposed by Canada against Venezuelan officials represents
00:14nothing more than a failure.
00:22In Ecuador, the government said that Thursday will be the last day without power supply
00:27after almost three months of power outages.
00:35In the early hours of Thursday morning, the armed forces of Yemen launched several short-range
00:42ballistic missiles towards the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, which activated alarms in the
00:47region.
00:48Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters
00:59in Caracas, Venezuela.
01:00We begin with the news, stay with us.
01:17The first Vice President of the Venezuelan United Socialist Party, Diosdado Cabello,
01:23emphasized that the recent sanctions imposed by Canada against Venezuelan officials represents
01:27nothing more than a failure.
01:34Canada imposes new sanctions against Venezuelan officials.
01:41Canada is lagging behind because they only do what the government of the United States
01:49tells them to do.
01:51The U.S. government sneezes and then Canada gets nervous.
01:58They don't realize that it has really failed the method.
02:06It also condemned the U.S. embassy, the questioning of Venezuela's constitutionality, considering
02:12that the U.S. appoints an illegitimate president in the country and tried to overturn the constitution.
02:24According to the U.S. embassy, January 10 is the deadline for Nicolás Maduro.
02:31Refusing a democratic transition, they say, will be the definitive rupture with the constitutional
02:39order and will plunge Venezuela into an even deeper crisis.
02:44It is funny when they talk about the constitution in Venezuela, when they appointed a president
02:51here and tried to tear that constitution to shreds, and they'd still approve appointed
03:00to that man, and they came up with a horrible thing called transitional statute, which derogates
03:09the constitution.
03:10You look in that constitution to see if a statute can derogate it, and it does not appear
03:18anywhere.
03:25Last minute.
03:26Alberto Rodnews posted a last minute note from the European press that says the European
03:33Union is preparing more sanctions against Nicolás Maduro for lack of democratic transition
03:41in Venezuela.
03:43Remember that we are sanctioned.
03:45You don't need to sanction us again.
03:48You will make a fool of yourselves.
03:50Yes, because they might try to do it.
03:53What happens is that the United States has taken some new sanctions and they go after
04:00the United States.
04:02They do whatever the United States government says.
04:06They don't even think that the people who decided to impose the sanctions are going
04:10to live.
04:11Ten days after Nicolás Maduro and his people are sworn in, the president of the United
04:18States is sworn in, exactly ten days later.
04:24Here it is January 10, and there it is January 20.
04:29So they don't know what to do because they depend on the United States.
04:34On the other hand, Cabello points out that what happened in Venezuela on July the 29th,
04:39after the elections, had already been predicted by Commander Hugo Chávez, who always feared
04:44the intentions of a strong right-wing.
04:45At that time, Chávez showed his concern and kept warning us.
04:55They were going to kill the revolutionaries.
04:58Wasn't that what they did?
05:00And wasn't that what they did on the 29th?
05:02Didn't they look for the Venezuelan women to kill?
05:05And they ended up killing two women?
05:08And they did it in a very mean way, with hatred, as they know how to do.
05:12And why did they do it?
05:14To spread fear.
05:15Then came the persecution.
05:17Then came the persecution of anyone who was a Chavista.
05:21But they didn't count on the sharpness of the Chavistas.
05:25This happened on day 29.
05:28And on day 30, we were on the streets.
05:32The Economic Commission for America and the Caribbean informed on Wednesday that Venezuela
05:36sees economic growth in the Latin American region.
05:39The report indicates an increase in Venezuelan GDP of 6.2% by 2024, followed by South American
05:47nations such as Paraguay, Brazil, Peru and Uruguay.
05:51Meanwhile, at the opposite extreme are Argentina, Ecuador and Bolivia.
05:56Central American nations show less notable figures, with the Dominican Republic, Costa
06:01Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras standing out.
06:04Meanwhile, in this English-speaking Caribbean, the economy with the best record was Guyana.
06:11Regional growth in the year up to date is expected to be 2.2%, and in 2025, it is expected
06:18at 2.4%.
06:26Members of various social organizations gathered in the Murillo Square to celebrate the date
06:31of the democratic and cultural revolution.
06:33In celebration of the first electoral victory of the movement to socialism in 2005, groups
06:40of citizens gathered in La Paz City, the Bolivian capital.
06:45The date commemorates the social and historical struggle of farmers, indigenous and intercultural
06:51organizations for a better future.
06:54This great mobilization takes place within the framework of a call made by mass boards
06:59of directors to the Bolivian people.

07:39after almost three months of power outages.
07:42A second generation ship is expected to arrive on the shores of Guayaquil this Thursday to
07:47help generate electricity.
07:50Since September 23rd of this year, Ecuador has been facing prolonged blackouts that have
07:56lasted up to 14 hours a day in the midst of the drought.
08:00In this context, questions have been raised about the government's lack of timely actions
08:05to address the situation.
08:08The Argentine States Workers Association called for a mobilization and rejection of the massive
08:18layoff carried out by the administration of Javier Millet.
08:22Pro Communiqué de Unión states that the demonstration will begin at 11 a.m. local time in Buenos
08:28Aires, a vicinity of the Ministry of Justice, to demand that more than 2,400 missiles considered
08:35by the government entity has as a regular in previous days after the Ministry of Justice
08:41signed a resolution to dismiss almost half of the personal workers in the entity, which
08:46also includes the defuncting of the cooperation funds of the system of law and arrangements.
09:05Moving on, Royal Australian Air Force RAF plane arrived in the island of Guanajuato
09:17carrying aid package and personnel to assist in the rescue of people in that South Pacific
09:24nation after being hit by a violent earthquake.
09:27After the online cargo, the RAF aircraft transferred Australian citizens from the capital port of
09:32Vila Antares back to Australia.
09:35The earthquake left over 200 people injured and nine dead at a central hospital.
09:40In addition, after the severe damage caused by the quake to the reservoirs, the capital
09:45city was left without water supplies.
09:48The earthquake had a depth of 57 kilometers and its epicenter was 30 kilometers west of
09:54the capital of Guanajuato, where around 330,000 people inhabited in the crown of 80 islands.
10:08The French government declared on Wednesday a state of exceptional natural calamity in
10:12the Miaté archipelago after the passage of Cyclone Shido, which left 31 dead and 45 injured.
10:19On the X account, the Ministry of the Overseas announced that the measures to allow a faster
10:24and more efficient management of this crisis and facilitate pursuing emergency measures.
10:31The minister in charge, François-Noël Bouffet, stressed the need to mobilize all resources
10:38to help and support nationals in this terrible experience.
10:42In addition to the injured and death, authorities report significant damage to the infrastructure
10:46as well as failures in electricity, communication and internet services.
10:55So, the main pathologies depend on the chronology.
11:00Immediately after the wind stopped, we had to receive victims in absolute emergency,
11:05sometimes dead people.
11:07Days after the event, we have more medical pathologies, chronic diseases that do not
11:12have access to care and treatment.
11:15And this is what is really coming to the forefront, requiring the reorganization of the entire
11:20hospital.
11:21In France, the Avignon Corps sentenced French citizen Dominique Pellicot to 20 years in
11:29prison for rape and chemical sedation of his former wife, Giselle Pellicot, along with
11:3550 men he had urged to sexually assault her for 10 years.
11:40The verdict issued on Thursday against the 51 defendants ranged from three to 20 years
11:45in prison, sentencing the victim's former husband, Dominique, to the highest penalty,
11:51although after the fulfilling two thirteens in prison, he called up for the probation.
11:57It is worth to remark that defendants with the least serious punishment shall not be
12:02in prisons and although all of them were charged with different crimes, the sentences hand
12:06down were less than what the prosecution requested.

12:45In Russia, President Vladimir Putin held a press conference with national and foreign
12:49journalists who gave an assessment of the results achieved by his government during
12:54the year 2024.
12:55The head of state commented that in the context of the conflict against Ukraine, the situation
13:01is changing dramatically, assuring that every day the Russian fighters are recovering square
13:07kilometers of territory.
13:09On the other hand, Putin said he doesn't know whether the U.S. understood correctly
13:13the recent changes in the Russian Federation's nuclear doctrine.
13:17This, after a change that states that a massive attack on the country, including with cruise
13:23missiles and drones, will generate a nuclear response.
13:26On the other hand, the president explained that Russian economy has remained stable despite
13:31external threats growing by approximately 8 percent in the last two years.
13:40This is just about a formal and legal issue.
13:43They can arrange it as they please it inside Ukraine.
13:46But if we ever get to the point of signing the agreements, we will be able to sign only
13:50with the legitimate representatives of authorities.
13:55Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned Israel's occupation of Syrian territories
13:59and the sending of more troops.
14:05Russia condemns the occupation of any Syrian territory.
14:08Our position on this is obvious and is not subject to change.
14:11We hope that someday Israel will withdraw from the territories of Syria.
14:15But now it is bringing there more troops.
14:20The Russian head of state highlighted that the BRICS is not only a platform to confirm
14:25the West, but an organization where member countries collaborate while mutually respecting
14:31their interests.
14:34The BRICS group is not only a tool to counteract the West.
14:38We are not working against anyone.
14:40We are working for our interests, for the BRICS member countries' interests.
14:44We are not creating any confrontational agenda within the framework of the BRICS.
14:55In other topics, in the early hours of Thursday morning, the armed forces of Yemen launched
15:10several short-range ballistic missiles in the direction of the Israeli city of Tel Aviv,
15:15which caused the activation of alarms in the region.
15:18According to all the Syrian news networks, the explosions were heard in the center of
15:23the occupied Palestine and the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, causing about one
15:28million Israelis to head for bomb shelters.
15:32According to several sources, one of the missiles has said that the ramad of all are based.
15:37In support of the Palestinian population, the Yemeni army continues its offensive against
15:41Israeli targets in the occupied Palestinian territories, in addition to Israeli-linked
15:46ships in the Red Sea.

15:57during her kidnapping in southern Gaza by the occupation forces.

16:08Forces on a ride against the Al-Halabat Ships Hospital in southern Gaza.
16:13The Palestinian said that Yemenis suffer tortures in Israeli prisons.
16:17In addition, she added they are constantly transferring from one camp to another, where
16:22they are abused, beaten, and deprived of their basic rights.
16:26In this regard, the Commission for Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs and the Palestinian
16:31Prisoners Club have further denounced that Israel has been using tortures and humiliations
16:38against Palestinian detainees since the onset of the genocide.
16:43And in Turkey, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged the international community to praise
16:51Israel for respecting the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, while showing his support for
16:56the Syrian people at this harsh time for the region.
17:00On an official ceremony, the Turkish head of state warmly welcomed the Prime Minister
17:05of Lebanon, Nayib Mikati, expressing his solidarity with the Lebanese situation.
17:10While allies on a press briefing, Erdogan stated that both nations will collaborate
17:14to support Syria, his neighboring country.
17:16Meanwhile, the Lebanese Prime Minister underscored his country continues to suffer the aftermath
17:21of the Israeli aggressive offensive.
