00:18Therefore, this Nadenh territory lacks adequate access to health services.

00:26A commercial airliner carrying more than 60 passengers crashed in Kazakhstan, leaving

00:32at least 35 people dead.

00:38And the government of Haiti reported at least 13 dead and about 15 injured as heavy rains

00:43ravaged the island.

00:49Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Havana,

00:53Cuba.

00:54Here's today's news.

01:12In Palestine, the Indonesian hospital's largest health facility, Nadenh Gaza, is out of service.

01:18Therefore, this Nadenh territory lacks adequate access to health services.

01:22The Indonesian hospital is now only a shelter with a minimum level of health care provided

01:28to people, given the deliberate constant attacks on its essential facilities, as well as arrests

01:34of a large number of medical staff.

01:36The other health facility, known as Al-Auda Hospital, is operated by a charitable organization.

01:42The upper floor of this hospital has been destroyed and the surrounding areas have become

01:47dangerous because of the constant attacks.

01:55The Israeli news outlet Haaretz said Wednesday that the Zionist army could stay in southern

02:00Lebanon beyond the 60-day period agreed upon in the ceasefire pact signed between Tel Aviv

02:06and Hezbollah.

02:07According to the news agency's report, the Israeli forces would stay in the area if the

02:12Lebanese army didn't fulfill its side of the agreement and achieve full control of

02:17the country's southern region.

02:18On Thursday, it will be 30 days since the ceasefire between both parties was announced,

02:24a period during which Israel and Hezbollah have traded blame for several ceasefire violations.

02:35In Syria, the Hajat Tahir al-Sham HTS terrorist group fired on peaceful demonstrations, leaving

02:42several dead and wounded in many areas of the country.

02:46HTS terrorist forces opened fire on protesters in Homs, Hableh, Tartus and Latakia, who were

02:53demonstrating against extremist attacks targeting symbols and holy sites of the Alawite community.

03:00In this regard, the demonstrators staged the protests following the burning of the Alawite

03:06shrine located in Aleppo and the subsequent execution of five civilians.

03:11For its part, the HTS armed terrorist group indicated that the video is not new and was

03:18recorded during the first day of the attacks in the city of Aleppo.

03:22It should be noted that the Alawites are a branch of Islam to which the ousted president

03:27Bashar al-Assad belongs.

03:33In Syria, at least seven civilians were wounded during a clash with Israeli occupation forces

03:39that raided several localities in the southwestern part of the country.

03:43The Syrian Medical Emergency Department received seven wounded by the Zionist military forces,

03:48who opened fire on the inhabitants of several localities.

03:52After the overthrow of the government of Bashar al-Assad by terrorist groups, the Tel Aviv

03:57regime intensified its operations and invaded the Syrian territory.

04:02In this sense, the Tel Aviv government announced the collapse of the 1974 Separation of Forces

04:07Agreement with Syria and occupied the demilitarized buffer zone of the Golan Heights.

04:18The United Nations Refugee Agency warned that more than 80,000 Sudanese civilians have been

04:24displaced to South Sudan by armed violence.

04:28In a statement, the United Nations body warned that thousands of people have been forced

04:32to abandon their homes due to clashes between the army and the rapid support forces, which

04:37began in 2023.

04:39The report highlights that among the displaced are women and children who are facing shortages

04:44of drinking water, medicine and food.

04:47In this context, the United Nations warned that some 680,000 people are in a situation

04:54of food catastrophe, while another 25.6 million are suffering from acute food insecurity.

05:05Russia launched Wednesday its fifth Earth observation satellite into orbit.

05:10According to the Russian state space corporation, a Soyuz 2.1b rocket took off this Wednesday

05:16from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, carrying into space the Resource-B, a satellite

05:23designed for remote sensing tasks on the Earth's surface in the visible and infrared light

05:29ranges in real time.

05:31The agency reported that the satellite separated from the Soyuz 2.1 on the latter's third

05:36stage approximately nine minutes after the rocket's launch.

05:40Five Resource-B satellites have been launched into space since 2013, the last being on March

05:4731.

05:52The Russian Armed Forces reported Wednesday the interception of 59 Ukrainian drones in

05:57several border regions during the 24th and 25th of December.

06:02The military entity said that drones were coming from Ukraine and were aimed at Syria.

06:10Border regions also denounced the constant drone incursions as well as rocket attacks

06:14against the area from Ukrainian territory.

06:18Russia's government reiterated that the special military operation in Ukraine has the objective

06:23of denazifying the people of Kyiv and stopping the advance of NATO forces into Russian border

06:30regions.

06:36In Serbia, university students mobilized to demand action against the country's Attorney

06:40General Zagorica Dolovac for the collapse of a roof at the Novi Sad train station, which

06:46left at least 15 people dead.

06:48The students marched to the country's Prosecutor's Office to demand Dolovac to fulfill her obligations

06:55in relation to the incident.

06:57Likewise, they sent the official a thousand letters in which they request her to fight

07:04for the law and the truth.

07:07The protesters also reiterated their demands, urging the population of the documents related

07:13to the remodelling work of the Novi Sad train station.

07:16Moreover, they are also calling for the dropping of charges against demonstrators arrested

07:22in the massive anti-government protests that have been going on since the incident of last

07:27November 5th.

07:56Kazakhstan on Wednesday while covering the route Baku-Gorskostny.

08:00The Embraer 190 aircraft crashed on the runway of the Akto airport after circling the area

08:08looking to make an emergency landing.

08:10According to the Azerbaijani airline, the plane was flying over the Caspian Sea when

08:15it sent a distress signal after a collision with a flock of birds.

08:20The Kazakh Health Minister Admiral Al Nazarov confirmed that 62 passengers and five crew

08:26members were on board at the time of the incident.

08:30So far, at least 35 people have been reported dead as a result of the accident, while rescue

08:35efforts continue searching for the area for survivors.

08:43In this regard, Kazakhstan's Ministry of Emergency Situations mobilized more than 430

08:49rescuers and 80 teams units to the site of the accident to extinguish the fire and search

08:54for survivors.

08:56At present, the Kazakh government reports 29 people, among them three minors, have been

09:01rescued and taken to hospital for medical and psychological assistance after sustaining

09:06injuries of varying severity.

09:13Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences for the victims of the plane

09:17crash in Akto during the opening of a CIS summit in St. Petersburg.

09:25Before we begin our work, unfortunately, I must say a few words about the tragedy that

09:30occurred today in Akto.

09:36The plane crashed.

09:39There are casualties.

09:42There are many injured, and as we just spoke with you, on your behalf I would like to express

09:47condolences to the families of the deceased and all the injured.

09:54Let us hope for their recovery.

09:55In agreement with the President of Kazakhstan, a Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations

10:00plane with medical personnel and the necessary additional equipment on board is en route

10:05to Akto.

10:09The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry expressed its sorrow for the plane crash in the city

10:13of Akto in Kazakhstan.

10:15Through a post on his Telegram channel, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Iván Gil stated,

10:20We join in the mourning of the people of Azerbaijan for the unfortunate plane crash in Akto from

10:26Venezuela.

10:27We extend our sincere words of condolences to the families and friends of the victims

10:32of the accident, and we pray for the prompt recovery of the injured.

10:42Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel conveyed Wednesday his condolences to the people of

10:46Kazakhstan for the victims of the plane crash in the city of Akto.

10:51In a message posted on Telegram, the Cuban President wrote,

11:00at this moment after the tragic plane crash in Akto.

11:04Our condolences especially to the families of the deceased.

11:08We wish a speedy recovery to all the injured.

11:16Also in this context, the President of Iran, Massoud Pashiskyan, joined the condolence

11:21messages to Kazakhstan with the following message,

11:24I offer my deepest condolences to, especially to the families and relatives of the victims.

11:54Welcome back to From the South.

12:24Volunteers continue to clean up beaches in Russia after an oil leak from two damaged

12:29oil tankers off the southern coast of the country has polluted much of the soil in the

12:35area.

12:36In this regard, the volunteers stated that on Tuesday morning, almost everything had

12:40been cleaned up, but during the night, the waves deposited fuel oil on the sand again.

12:46In this sense, local authorities released images of oil-splattered birds being treated

12:51by the volunteers.

12:52On December 15, two Russian tankers were hit by a storm in the Kerch Strait, one sinking

12:58and the other running aground.

13:00The ships were carrying 9,200 tons of oil, of which about 40% could have spilled into

13:06the sea, reaching the local beaches as well.

13:10The work of volunteers has been crucial in reducing the damage of the disaster and protecting

13:15the species living in the area.

13:22The fuel oil still remains in the sea and in quite large quantities, obviously.

13:28It will continue to be discharged onto the clean shore, and it will have to be cleaned

13:32for the second, third, who knows what other time.

13:36And we have to be prepared for that.

13:43What you see now is volunteers trying to collect fuel oil from the sand with shovels.

13:48What you see is how they try to wash the birds, the unfortunate ones, covered with

13:53this fuel oil, and if they are not treated, they are doomed to die within a few days.

13:59It's all a nightmare.

14:04In Hawaii, one of the world's most active volcanoes sprang into life again, spewing

14:10columns of lava 80 meters above the island.

14:13Images show enormous fissures in the caldera of Kilauea on Hawaii's Big Island, spraying

14:19jets of molten rocks into the air.

14:22The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, HVO, said the eruption began just after 2 a.m. local

14:28time in the southwestern section of the caldera.

14:31In this sense, the eruption is occurring within a closed area of Hawaii Volcanoes National

14:36Park, and lava flows are currently confined to the Halema'uma'i and the eastern part

14:42of Kilauea's caldera.

14:44On the other hand, the HVO warned that sulfur dioxide emanating from the fissure would react

14:50with other gases in the atmosphere, which can affect people, animals and crops in the

14:55surrounding areas.

15:00The government of Haiti reported at least 13 dead and about 15 injured as heavy rains

15:05ravaged the island.

15:07Haiti's National Risk and Disaster Management System asserted that the death toll could

15:11rise as the rainfall intensifies, and also reported that one person is missing.

15:17In addition, the agency pointed out that at least 16,000 houses were flooded by the rise

15:24of nearby rivers, and more than 500 houses were totally destroyed.

15:28On the other hand, the agency warned that in several areas there have been cases of

15:33diseases related to polluted water, and that the health sector could be facing a new epidemic

15:38of these illnesses soon.

15:44The Bolivian government committed to boost industrialization in 2025, foreshadowing historic

15:50months of progress in the work in pursuit of this goal.

15:55Precisely, the President Luis Arce assured that the coming year, which would mark the

15:59nation's bicentennial, would be a time of renovations and opportunities to advance towards

16:05an industrialized Bolivia.

16:07Furthermore, the leader described 2025 as the right time to value peace, the truth of

16:12their unity, and the commitment of a people that did not allow turmoil to win, making

16:17reference to the blockades and strikes that at different times damaged the economy.

16:272025 will be a historical year, as it is our bicentennial, a time of renovations and opportunities

16:33to advance towards the industrialized, free and independent Bolivia, a fair Bolivia full

16:38of opportunities for all.

16:54In Mexico, a family craft workshop dedicated to the handmade manufacture of wooden toys

17:00has endured industrialization and has become an option to give not only a gift, but a legacy

17:05of the traditional toy in these Christmas holidays.

17:08Our colleague Daniel Rosas visited them and brings us their story.

17:14With these handmade designs carved in wood, the toys of this workshop begin to come to

17:19life.

17:20In addition to their colorfulness, they have a lot of Mexican culture in them.

17:28The wrestler character is iconic of Mexico City to the whole world.

17:32To all the foreigners who come, there are even tours in Mexico City to go and see the

17:37wrestling matches, so it is one of the most important sports for us, or part of our identity

17:42as Mexicans.

17:44With this idea in mind, more designs have been created and more family members have

17:48joined the team.

17:50Each one has put a little bit of himself into the toys.

17:54Well, I started to put little flowers and little leaves on all of them.

17:59Everything that is painted now are things that I have been taking out of my imagination

18:02and my hands.

18:06This way, the options for the small workshop have increased, with more and more innovations,

18:12colors and contributions.

18:16I feel that this does unite us as a family, it strengthens our craftsmanship and gives

18:21us a lot, so that people from other countries can get to know our work, our culture, our

18:25craftsmanship.

18:31And new technologies have contributed significantly in this task.

18:36I have spread their art all over the world, because social networks are all over the world.

18:42And most of all of their pieces are created with love, heart and time.

18:47This has earned them several handicraft awards and the recognition of being part of the collective

18:54heritage.

18:55Besides the fact that we have won the award, the Museum of the Mexican Popular Toy acquires

19:00our handicrafts for its collection.

19:02The members of the family that makes up the Manos de Madera workshop are confident that

19:06their work will reach many homes this Christmas and New Year's Eve season.

19:15And we have come to the end of this news brief, but you can find this and many other
