00:38to the declarations of President-elect Donald Trump that he does not rule out the idea of

00:52Hello and welcome from the South, I'm Luis Alberto Matos from the Lasoos Studios in Havana,
00:56Cuba.
00:57We begin with the news.
00:58On Tuesday, January 7th, the President Nicolas Maduro led the Sovereign of the Combatant
01:04Corps of Venezuela, made up of workers, companies and public institutions, to guarantee the
01:09integral defense of the nation.
01:10Maduro reiterated that in recent days and hours, the number of threats against the Venezuelan
01:15people has increased, so he stressed that he will continue to protect the peace of Venezuelans.
01:24The body of integral direction for the defense of peace in Venezuela are activated at national
01:33level in the 335 municipalities in all parishes and communities of the country, because in
01:42Venezuela we are going to make history again and peace will triumph.
01:52President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro called on international fascism not to make a mistake
01:56with his leadership and with the people of Venezuela, stating that he will defend the
01:59stability of the country with his life.
02:08Although God put me in this position and I have his blessings, I am here as a humble
02:16man of the people.
02:18I am a man of the people and that is how I assume myself with humility.
02:25And I say, imperialist fascists, do not make a mistake with me.
02:31Do not make a mistake with me again.
02:34Do not make a mistake with the people of Venezuela.
02:39We are determined to win.
02:41We are determined to preserve peace, to preserve the national independence of Venezuela.
02:50We are determined to defend the rights of the people, to defend it with our own lives,
02:57if it were necessary, so that the country may live, so that the country may grow.
03:07In this regard, the Venezuelan head of state detailed that in the last 24 hours, seven
03:10foreign mercenaries were captured, among them two United States citizens who intended
03:14to carry out terrorist actions against the peace of the country.
03:24Today alone, we have captured seven foreign mercenaries, including two important mercenaries
03:32from the United States of America.
03:35They have already been captured.
03:37We caught them with material of the highest level, as they have never been captured before
03:45in our country, in our Venezuela.
03:49They are arrested and I am sure that in the next few hours they will be confessing.
03:58They came here to develop terrorist actions against peace in our country.
04:04Two Colombian hired assassins were captured in different parts of Venezuela, and three
04:12mercenaries who came from Ukraine to bring violence to our territory.
04:18Seven mercenaries were captured today in total.
04:23Seven mercenaries at this hour, and the operations continue, and the situation is tense.
04:32We are going after them.
04:35We are going after them because Venezuela has to be respected.
04:40In Venezuela, the president of the National Electoral Council, Elvis Amoroso, declared
04:45that the election of the people of Venezuela will be confirmed on January 10th in the presence
04:50of all public powers of the state, in the ceremony of President-elect Nicolás Maduro.
05:00Here on January 10th, we will swear in the President-elect Nicolás Maduro Moros, winner
05:09of the last elections of July 28th by the National Assembly, as established by the Constitution
05:19of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and in the presence of all the public powers,
05:26there is no other president here in Venezuela.
05:31He is the president.
05:33He won the elections that took place on July 28th, and the results are the same that were
05:41announced by the headquarters of the National Electoral Council.
05:45In this context, Amoroso questioned the world tour of the Venezuelan fugitive Edmundo González,
05:51who is looking for allies to try to destabilize the peace of the country, a few days before
05:55the inauguration of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
06:04As I said before, if someone had any minutes, don't you think it would be easier to take
06:11them to the Supreme Court when the Supreme Court made the call, or do you think it was
06:17easier to go to the European Union, or to go around looking for lying allies in other
06:25countries or governments?
06:27Wasn't it easier to bring them here, or take them four or five blocks away from here,
06:34than to go and play such a sad role?
06:39The government of Nicaragua offered its support to the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro,
06:43just days before his inauguration as head of state on January 10th.
06:46Through a statement, the government, presided by Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo, expressed
06:50recognizing ourselves in struggle against the classic format of fascist provocation
06:55that oppresses and tries to overturn the rights and freedoms of our peoples, a few hours before
06:59the legitimate presidential inauguration of Comrade Nicolás Maduro, we express to his
07:04people, to his institutions, to the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, and to our own
07:08brother Nicolás Maduro, our firm and permanent support from our Nicaragua, blessed and always
07:14free.

07:47In Brazil, the Air Force said Monday it had extracted data from two black box recorders
07:52of the crash of a Serbian Airlines plane.
07:55Brazilian-made Embraer 190 crash-landed in Kazakhstan after being diverted from a scheduled
08:01landing in the Chechen capital of Krasny in southern Russia, killing 38 of the 67 people
08:06on board.
08:07Serbian has stated the plane was shot down by Russian air defenses, which Moscow says
08:11were operating in the area at the time.
08:14Russian President Vladimir Putin has apologized for the incident in his country's airspace,
08:18but has not responded to claims that the plane was hit by Russian weapons.
08:27In Brazil, the company in charge of Sao Paulo's electricity service, Enel, reported Tuesday
08:32that about 150,000 homes are still without power after heavy rains.
08:37By early afternoon, 650,000 users were without power, although Enel reported that 500,000
08:44homes' electricity was restored in the first 30 minutes.
08:48The capital's heavy rains, accompanied by wind and hail, were reported, prompting the
08:52mayor's office's Weather Emergency Management Center to declare a state of alert for flooding
08:56in the southern, southeastern, and eastern zones.
09:05In Argentina, 11 defendants were charged with crimes against humanity in Chaco for crimes
09:10committed during the civil-military dictatorship of Rafael Videla.
09:14Federal Judge Zunilda Niren-Pérez ordered the indictment for crimes committed during
09:18the last civil-military dictatorship between 1974 and 1977.
09:23Among the victims of the crimes committed at the secret detention center of the former
09:27investigative brigade of the Chaco police are students, social activists, teachers,
09:32and an eight-month-old baby with his mother.
09:35Among the defendants are former military, police, and prison officials, including Aldo
09:38Martínez Segón, Tadeo Petolli, and José Francisco Rodríguez Valiente.
09:49Also in Argentina, a dialogue table was established between the state and the Mapuche Teotihuacan
09:54community of Los Pailacos, for which there has been no progress on the deadline for the
10:01eviction is approaching.
10:03The federal judge of Escalante, Guido Otranto, has given the community until January 9 to
10:09leave the place where they have lived for generations.
10:11Otherwise, the eviction will be carried out by public force.
10:15Despite the threat of eviction, members of the community have expressed their willingness
10:18to resist.
10:19They are organizing a call for solidarity and support from different sectors to confront
10:23this situation.
10:30And in Ecuador, the National Court of Justice demanded respect for the independence of powers
10:34and rejected any type of interference in the judicial function of the body.
10:38The entity demanded absolute respect for the resolutions of the magistrates following the
10:41accusations of the Minister of Defense against a judge who decreed the first disappearance
10:46in the case of the four minors captured by a military patrol.
10:49It was also pointed out that threatening or sanctioning judges for their legitimate decisions
10:54is a direct attack on the rule of law and due process.
10:57For his part, a minister asserted that he would not allow the sentence to be used to
11:01bring the armed forces, who work for peace and respect for human rights, to their knees.
11:07In Uruguay, the small town of Garzón, located 170 kilometers from Montevideo, is undergoing
11:26a unique transformation that has captivated international artists, tourists and collectors.
11:31Now in its eighth edition, the Campo Festival has been responsible for putting Garzón on
11:36the global art radar.
11:38Created by U.S. photographer Haley Lender, the event brought together more than 20 international
11:42artists.
11:43And one of the highlights of the festival was the sound installation by artist Lucas
11:46Cunha, who replaced the traditional benches of the local chapel with a series of soundboxes
11:51and rubber hammers.

12:35On Tuesday, the foreign minister of Panama, Javier Martínez Acha, reiterated the sovereignty
12:39of the Panama Canal with respect to declarations of President-elect Donald Trump that does
12:43not rule out the idea of resorting to military force to regain control of the Inter-Oceanic
12:48Waterway.
12:54I reiterate what President José Raúl Molina has already stated.
12:58The sovereignty of our canal is non-negotiable, as it is part of our history of struggle and
13:03permanent achievement.
13:05In this sense, the foreign minister of Panama points out that the only hands that control
13:09the canal are Panamanian, and that this will continue to be the case.
13:18The only hands that control the canal are Panamanians, and that will always be the case.
13:24We are a country open to dialogue, investments, and good relations, but with a clear stance
13:29that the homeland comes first.
13:34In Palestine, at least 49 people were killed in a neon attack by the Israeli occupation
13:52army near the devastated Gaza Strip.
13:54The last hours have all been killed 10 people, all from the same family, in the refugee camp
13:58of Boureges.
13:59While the Nasser Hospital in Hanounis, the main hospital in the south of the Strip, received
14:0420 bodies in the last hours, 10 of them children and 5 women.
14:09Seven people, including five minors, were killed in the shelling of a house in the Kizam
14:13Rashwan neighborhood, where several families were sheltering.
14:17After 460 days of the Saudi regime's genocidal campaign, the number of people killed has
14:21reached 45,885, and more than 190,000 have been wounded.
14:30In Palestine, doctors for human rights condemn the Israeli regime's refusal to allow legal
14:40access to detained Gaza doctor Housam Abu Zafiyah, director of the Kama Atwan Hospital.
14:46In a social media post, the health workers said that despite requests to send a lawyer,
14:50the Israeli army claims that Abu Zafiyah is barred from receiving a legal hearing until
14:54January 10.
14:55The group also stressed that professionals are protected by international humanitarian
14:59law, but that more than 1,000 doctors have been killed.
15:02The director was kidnapped by the occupation army in northern Gaza, a day after the soldiers
15:06stormed the hospital under his responsibility and took it out of service.
15:19The Lebanese army continued on Tuesday with the deployment of units in localities in western
15:24and central sectors of the southern border following the Israeli withdrawal.
15:28According to the armed forces, the movement in these regions occurred while the deployment
15:32of Nakura was being completed, and specialized patrols were carrying out engineering work
15:36aimed at removing unexploded munitions, opening roads and removing debris.
15:40In this context, Nakura Mayor Abbas Awara reported that the town is almost completely
15:45destroyed and urged residents to wait before returning until the comprehensive field assessment.
15:51Authorities indicate that a relocation will only be allowed with the support of the army
15:55and civil defense teams after confirming that the area is safe.
16:04Moving on in Iran, oil production and exports continue to grow despite sanctions imposed
16:08by western countries seeking to destroy the country's economy.
16:12Despite facing some of the toughest sanctions from the West, Iran has built a roaring global
16:16trade for its oil.
16:18Revenues from oil exports reached $53 billion in 2023, up from $54 billion a year earlier.
16:26As for the U.S. attacks, Iran has warned President-elect Donald Trump that applying maximum pressure
16:30on the Persian nation will again be a failure.
16:39In South Korea, police said on Wednesday they were tracking the exact location of President
16:43Jun Suk-kyo in case he left his residence after a possible arrest.
16:47A police official indicated that they could not specifically disclose Jun's current whereabouts.
16:52However, he is believed to have been mostly confined to his cell residence since mid-December
16:57when he was impeached by the National Assembly.
17:00Last Friday, the police managed to confirm that Jun was at his residence when several
17:04agents led by officials from the Office for the Investigation of Corruption Cases involving
17:09senior officials tried unsuccessfully to arrest him after his security service blocked access
17:14to their residence.
17:21In Australia, a seaplane crashed shortly after taking off from the Western Australia island,
17:26killing three people and injuring others.
17:29Police said only one of the seven people aboard the Cessna 280 caravan was rescued without
17:34injury after it crashed on Rottnest Island on Tuesday afternoon.
17:38The plane, owned by Swan River Seaplanes, was returning to its base in Perth, 30 kilometers
17:44east of Rottnest Island.
17:45Western Australian Premier Roger Cook said the crash killed a 65-year-old Swiss woman,
17:50a 60-year-old Danish man, and a 34-year-old pilot from Perth.
17:55The tourist companions, a 63-year-old Swiss man and a 58-year-old Danish woman, survived.
