01:46National Armed Forces in defense of democracy and in recognition of Nicolás Maduro Moros

01:55In this regard, the President of the National Assembly spoke briefly about some of the former

03:24the National Assembly which announced the beginning of the session for the 2025-2026 term.

03:42At the same time, the Board of Directors of the National Electoral Council expressed their
03:46wish to receive some other parliamentarian society document that threatens the institutionality
03:51of the state and its public powers.
03:55The National Assembly, the only National Assembly that exists in the country and that throughout
04:07these four years that the Assembly has been active, what this National Assembly has done
04:15is strengthen, to shore up the institutionality of the country, to guarantee peace in a tireless
04:27manner by enacting laws for the greatest happiness and protection of the people.
04:37In Venezuela, the citizens' power met with a delegation of lawmakers from the National
04:42Assembly who delivered the notification of the new legislative session 2025-2026.

04:52of the Republic, William Saab, from the headquarters of the Republican Memorial Council.
04:57The delegation officially informed the citizens' power of the confirmation of the National
05:02Parliament's directive as established in Article 219 of the Venezuelan Constitution.
05:08Saab stated that this act demonstrates the institutional unity of the nation's public
05:12powers, which contributes to the strengthening of the people's participatory and protagonist
05:18democracy.
05:23This is an important and solemn act that clearly gives a signal, the coordination, the institutional
05:29unity of the national public powers.
05:39All framed in what is established in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela which
05:44was approved in a popular referendum in December 1999,
05:56where through the civic-popular military-police institutional unity of our people we have
06:01resisted these 25 years.
06:09And this moral power, this Republican Moral Council obviously joins this great day of
06:16glory to our homeland that will be the swearing-in of the Citizen President of the Republic Nicolas
06:21Maduro,
06:28to whom we give a round of applause from this Republican Moral Council, for this new period

07:44year, despite the constant attacks on the Venezuelan extreme right wing to undermine
07:49the stability of the Venezuelan territory.
07:51At the same time, he assured that peace will be reversible in the country, no matter how
07:56difficult the consequences might be.
07:59I like that concept, peace cannot get stuck.
08:07And I would add to it, nor can it be reversed.
08:11With peace we all go.
08:13Everybody.
08:20That is why the desperate fascism tries to disturb the stability, the tranquility of

16:39people in Tibet.

16:50people injured in the Chinese, Bahrain, and Israeli-populated region, while rescue workers

17:01On the other hand, Nepal's National Emergency Operations Center informs there are still no
17:06reports of injuries and damages in northeastern Nepal, where the earthquake was strongly felt.
17:14The area around Mount Everest, around 75 kilometers off the quake's epicenter, was empty in the
17:21depth of winter when even some residents moved away to escape the cold.
17:30On a communiqué, the Nicaraguan government expressed its solidarity and support with
17:35the presidents of China, Xi Jinping and his people, following the earthquake that the
17:39nation faced this Tuesday.
17:41The document states,
17:42With all our people's love and solidarity, we express to your people, and in particular
17:47to the families affected by today's generation of an earthquake, we send you and the brothers
17:53and sisters of Shenzhen City, Shishan Autonomous Region, our heartfelt condolences and prayers.

18:02From our Nicaragua blessed and forever free received with this message and certainty of
18:07our fraternal support, we have full confidence in the party and its government for the early
18:14return to normalcy.

18:29Lazo, expressed today on social network X his condolences and solidarity to China after
18:36the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that shocked the Shishan Autonomous Region.

18:50the powerful earthquake occurred in that country.
18:57Severe flooding hit parts of England on Tuesday and snow forced the temporary closure of three
19:05airports as the weather extended travel chaos in the UK since the start of the year.
19:10Several areas of the midlands of central England remained under water.
19:14More than 200 floods were issued, also overflowing rivers, Indian Day villages and downed farmlands.
19:25It never is.
19:26I mean, we obviously get floods quite often here because we've got a river right next
19:32to us and we are in a valley, but it's never, I've never seen anything like this.
19:39It's just terrible for the people that live over there in those caravans.
19:44They all had to evacuate last night and go down to the local church and it was just a
19:50real tragedy for them, I suppose.
19:53No, but late last night we got a government message, the emergency alert, to say that
20:01they were evacuating the park and to gather in the Methodist church in the village.
20:06So that's the first we knew of it.
20:08We've seen a few bits on the news as well.
