00:36In the western part of China, an earthquake of magnitude 7.1 has left at least 95 people dead.
00:47Hello, welcome from the South. I'm Luis Alberto Matos from the Lesus Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:52We begin with the news. More than 2,000 international guests are already in Venezuela to accompany
00:57the Bolivarian people to the swearing-in of President Nicolás Maduro for the 2025-2031 term, this January 10th.
01:04This is what the head of state said in a meeting held on Monday in Caracas, capital of the country,
01:09with different government structures.
01:11Maduro assures that the Venezuelan revolution is based on the popular power and its inspiration is the epic of its hero.
01:19Our inspiration is Bolivar, not Washington.
01:22His words refer to the intense tour that the extreme Venezuelan right is making,
01:27with threats to national interest by every far-right wing leader who has received them.
01:37And in Venezuela, the Minister of Interior, Diosao Cabello, walked through neighborhoods near Miraflores
01:41and spoke about his perceptions in the midst of threats made by the far-right.
01:46As always, fascism ends up not recognizing the results.
01:52As always, fascism didn't recognize the electoral results.
01:58They wanted to use force but failed.
02:01Now we don't trust them. There is no good faith on their behalf.
02:06We are prepared for any circumstances.
02:11They bring mercenaries and we have to work against that.
02:16We have captured so far 125 mercenaries from 25 countries.
02:23They might enter the country but it will be difficult for them to get out.
02:28If they try to do something, we will respond accordingly.
02:32We don't trust their good faith.
02:34They say they will bring their force against the Venezuelan people, against the whole country.
02:41Among them, the Attorney General of the Republic of Venezuela, Tarek William Saab,
02:44informed that 146 releases measures were ordered for detainees
02:48linked to the post-electoral violence of last July 28th.
02:51Through a statement issued by the Public Prosecutor's Office,
02:54they emphasized that on January 3rd,
02:57reviews of the cases were requested and agreed upon,
02:59including those involving persons linked to the post-electoral violence.
03:03The document also indicates that the addition of these new cases
03:07to those previously processed and reported in previous statements
03:11gives a total of 1,515 releases granted to date.
03:23Ecuador's President Daniel Novoa has taken a leave of absence
03:27and appointed Cynthia Gilbert as temporary head of state.
03:31The President of Ecuador has issued a decree stating that due to circumstances of force majeure
03:36caused by the electoral campaign, a new person has been appointed to head the government
03:40from the 9th of January to the 12th of the same month of 2025.
03:45Novoa also explained that his decision was due to the National Electoral Council's statement
03:49and its ambiguous position on the leave of absence
03:52that the President should request during the campaign period.
03:54The leave of absence was requested amid a series of accusations against him
03:58for not fulfilling his mandate as required by the country's law.
04:01Although he asked for the leave this Tuesday,
04:04Novoa would only be out of office for three days of the election campaign.
04:12In Ecuador, also the families of the four minors killed by a military patrol in Guayaquil
04:17were waiting for an apology from the Ministry of Defense.
04:20Instead, the judge in the case received a threat.
04:23Defense Minister Giancarlo Lofredo called a national press conference
04:27to express support for the armed forces again.
04:30Lofredo had assured that there was no operation until the cameras showed it.
04:34He also said that the children were stealing, which was never proved,
04:38and blamed their parents for not taking care of them.
04:41In this context, the government threatens Judge Tania Lourdes-Sombrano,
04:45assuring that the qualification of forced disappearance is unfair.
04:49As I prove it with this document, this transmission is being made on January 6, 2025,
04:56within the established term in the schedule of maximum audience,
05:01and on national channel, thus complying with the sentence.
05:06Madam Judge, I have complied with what you ordered.
05:10However, we will continue with the investigation.
05:14I have complied with what you ordered.
05:17However, we will go as far as possible to penalize your actions,
05:22since you have given way to a political persecution,
05:26and I will not allow your sentence to be used to humiliate the armed forces.
05:33That works for peace and respect of human lives.
05:37We now have a short break coming up, but first remember you can join us
05:41where you'll find news in different formats, news updates, and much more.
05:45We'll be right back, stay with us.
05:47Welcome back.
