00:00Energy leaders worldwide gather in New Delhi for the start of India Energy Week 2025 aimed
00:19at driving solutions for a sustainable energy future.
00:28The United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugee informed that Israel
00:33has displaced about 40,000 residents from the refugee camps in the northern West Bank.
00:44The Russian government denounced that the Ukrainian regime, together with the West,
00:48plans to block Moscow trade in the Baltic Sea.
00:58Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters
01:02in Caracas, Venezuela.
01:03Now we will begin with the news with us.
01:16This Tuesday, the third annual edition of the India Energy Week starts in New Delhi.
01:22The event, which will run from Friday the 11th to the 14th, brings together delegations
01:27from at least 120 countries to discuss the main challenges facing the sectors and promote
01:37sustainable solutions.
01:39This year's edition will showcase technological innovations and decarbonization strategies
01:47aligned with global energy goals, with a focus on energy access, security, affordability
01:53and sustainability.
01:55With more than 500 speakers across over 95 sessions, the event will explore key themes
02:02shaping the global energy landscape.
02:12In India, Venezuela stresses the importance of an energy future free of sanctions for
02:17the development of all the peoples of the world and without restrictions.
02:21At the third annual edition of the India Energy Week, Vice President Delcy RodrĂguez
02:26ratified the importance of consolidating the alliance between Caracas and New Delhi.
02:31RodrĂguez points out that 9% of the people of the world do not have access to electric
02:36energy and affirmed that Western sanctions impact the energy issue.
02:41The Venezuelan Vice President stressed that energy development must be carried out in
02:46a responsible and fair manner so that everyone can have access to power without sanctions.
02:58This evolution, the energy future must be done with a lot of responsibility, without
03:02illegal sanctions that weigh so absurdly on the future, how the future is compromised.
03:08These investments should be aimed at collecting and storing CO2 emissions.
03:13And all the resources must be directed in a responsible way to research and technology
03:17to alleviate the terrible climate crisis.
03:20And above all, this evolution must be done with equity, equality and fair access for
03:25the people.
03:31Venezuelan Vice President RodrĂguez said that excluding countries with large oil and
03:36gas reserves has a great economic, political and geopolitical impact.
03:48But also in the international economy, it is the role that producers play in the framework
03:52of the world economy.
03:54In the case of Russia, for example, pretending to exclude a giant in oil and gas, pretending
03:59to exclude it from the energy formula, undoubtedly had an impact, and it had an impact on the
04:05European markets.
04:07And well, this has had not only an economic impact, but also a political and geopolitical
04:12impact.
04:13In the case of Venezuela, to try to exclude the country that has the largest oil reserves
04:17on the planet is absurd, and I believe that time has proven that those who tried to exclude
04:22Venezuela from the international energy formula were wrong.
04:26What is the role of Venezuela?
04:28Venezuela not only has light oil, it also has many reserves of heavy and extra heavy
04:32oil.
04:33I always reiterate, in the case of India, with whom we share a relationship of brotherhood
04:38and cooperation, that oil must be at the service of development in the terms that we have been
04:42evaluating.
04:43Venezuela will go to the United States justice system to denounce those involved in the U-side
04:57case.
04:58Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab said international judicial cooperation
05:03is important to persecute all those involved in the looting of U.S. assets and the financing
05:09of serious crimes against the Venezuelan state.
05:12The Bolivarian Prosecutor's Office will formally request the extradition of the fugitive from
05:18the Venezuelan justice involved in the emplacement of the federal agency Juan GuaidĂł, Leopoldo
05:24LĂłpez and Carlos Ovecchio, among others.
05:31Also in Venezuela, the first group of migrants from the United States arrived on Monday night
05:37as part of the restart of the Back to the Hamelin Plan.
05:41Earlier on that day, the authorities announced their resumption of the Cambiasa Island flights
05:48from the U.S. under the Back to the Hamelin Plan, with the aim of returning nationals
05:54who have been victims of the Coyotes criminal network of human traffickers led by the far-right extremists.
06:01The government will use national airplanes to bring back Venezuelans deported from the
06:07United States to take care of their dignity and human rights.
06:11Likewise, those accused by the U.S. government of being members of criminal gangs will be
06:17subject to a rigorous investigation.
06:25Colombian President Gustavo Petro took to his social platform to comment on the return
06:29of Venezuelan migrants and encourage undocumented Colombians living in the U.S. to return to
06:34their homeland.
06:35Good for the Venezuelan migrants who return to their country from the United States without
06:41handcuffs.
06:42The migrants should be treated with dignity.
06:46In this context, Petro added that the pride of being Colombian should be carried out around
06:52the world without shame.
06:54As all Colombians without papers in the U.S. to return the consulates have expensed to
07:00guarantee information to all Colombian migrants who wish to return freely to our country.
07:14Pope Francis sent a letter to the U.S. vice-chapel rejecting President Donald Trump's action
07:19on separations.
07:20The Pope said Washington faces a crisis due to the mass deportations of migrants and refugees.
07:26The head of the Catholic Church denounced the act of deporting people who left their
07:33homelands for reasons of poverty, insecurity, or the persecution of human dignity.
07:40Pope Francis called on the Trump administration to implement policies that regulate orderly
07:48and legal immigration and ask Catholics not to fall into discriminatory propaganda.
07:58Let's take a very short break, but we'll be right back, don't go away.
08:18Welcome back from the South.
08:20Once again, the Mexican government requests to act calmly in the face of the announcement
08:26by the U.S. President Donald Trump to impose tariffs now on steel.
08:31Our correspondent Daniel Rosas with the details.
08:35Calm in the face of the White House measures.
08:39This is the strategy to be followed by the Mexican government for the time being.
08:46We found out the same from yesterday's publication in the media.
08:49Well, let's wait.
08:50It is, as I say, calm on this.
08:52Let's wait to see if he announces something today.
08:54And from there, we will take our definitions.
09:00Mexican media echoed Trump's announcement as he flew to the Super Bowl on Sunday.
09:05Today, I'm simplifying our tariffs on steel and aluminum so that everyone can understand
09:11exactly what it means.
09:1395 percent without exceptions or exemptions.
09:16And that's all countries, no matter where it comes from, all countries.
09:20It made in the United States, however, United States of America.
09:25There is no tariff, zero.
09:27So if it's made in the United States, there is no tariff.
09:31All you have to do is make it in the United States.
09:34We don't need it from another country.
09:37The Nuevo Laredo Customs Brokers Association, responsible for 80 percent of North American
09:43trade treaty transactions, has called for unity in the face of the U.S. president's onslaught.
09:49The imposition of tariffs will affect Trump's allies and voters.
09:53In addition, the T-MEC, which he himself negotiated, will be revised in 2026.
09:58And that is where Mexico should focus its strategies because the relocation of companies
10:03continues to be a competitive advantage for Mexico.
10:07The recent announcements made by the U.S. president could be part of a strategy
10:11known as flooding the zone.
10:13That is, bombarding with information to alter the reaction of the counterpart,
10:17explains this analyst.
10:21What is the problem?
10:22We don't know which of these statements will be taken seriously or which ones will be followed up.
10:26It is not so much that it is just a strategy and should be dismissed.
10:30But the problem of this strategy of filling and stuffing with information,
10:33we don't know which one is true.
10:36Mexican strategy may therefore be correct, he adds.
10:43I think Claudia Scheinbaum's strategy is very good in terms of a cool head,
10:48in terms of knowing strategically what needs to be done step by step.
10:54Mexico is the third country from which the United States buys the most steel,
11:00after Canada and Brazil, with 12.2 percent of the annual total.
11:04According to data from the American Iron and Steel Institute.
11:26Moving on.
11:27On Tuesday, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees
11:32said Israel has displaced about 40,000 residents from refugee camps in the northern West Bank.
11:40Unwar stressed that forced displacement of Palestinian communities is escalating at an alarming rate.
11:47The UN agency added that the displacement operation began in Yenin three weeks ago
11:53and has since extended to Tulkarm, Nord Sharm and Farak camps.
11:59Unwar points out that forced displacement in the West Bank
12:03is the result of an increasingly dangerous and coercive environment
12:08where at least 38 airstrikes were carried out in 2025 alone.
12:19Several United Nations agencies made an urgent appeal to Israel
12:23to lift restrictions limiting humanitarian aid in Gaza,
12:26where nearly one million displaced people are in critical conditions.
12:31The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is extremely serious,
12:35with almost one million displaced people living in precarious conditions
12:40and a health system in ruins contributing to the increase of malnutrition and the risk of famine.
12:47In this regard, World Health Organization representative Hanan Bakken
12:51stressed the need for systematic access to the population
12:55in order to adequately respond to the crisis,
12:58while UNICEF warned of imminent life-threatening conditions with 69% of structural damage.
13:05Despite the efforts of various organizations,
13:08needs in Gaza are increasing at an alarming rate.
13:18The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas postpones the release of Israeli detainees
13:23scheduled for next February 2015 due to the non-compliance with the terms of the ceasefire by Israel.
13:28The spokesmen of the movement declared that the delivery of the detainees
13:33was postponed until the Zionist forces assumed their commitments
13:38and compensated for the damage caused recently.
13:42Among the violations committed by Israel,
13:45the spokesmen highlighted the delay in allowing the entry of Gazans to the north of the coastal enclave
13:51and the problems with the delivery of humanitarian aid.
13:54Meanwhile, delegations from both sides and mediating countries are in Qatar
14:00to begin official negotiations for the second phase of the agreement and a definitive ceasefire.
14:13U.S. President Donald Trump has again threatened to unleash health on the Gaza Strip
14:18if Hamas does not resume the release of Israeli hostages by Friday 15.
14:23The president said that if Hamas does not resume the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners by Saturday,
14:29all hell will break loose on the resistance movements in the Gaza Strip.
14:34Trump said that if the movement does not comply with the release of the hostages,
14:38he will tell Israel to cancel the equipment and to do what it deems necessary
14:43without ruling out a possible U.S. involvement in the response to Hamas.
14:48Meanwhile, the resistance movement said on Monday
14:51that the doors remain open for the exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinians
14:56as long as Israel complies with the deadlines and requirements of the ceasefire agreement.
15:13Welcome back.
15:31The Russian government denounced that the Ukrainian regime, together with the U.S.,
15:35plans to block Moscow's trade in the Baltic Sea.
15:38The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service reported Kiev is preparing to sink a foreign vessel
15:44with Russian main mines in order to hold Moscow responsible.
15:48The Russian agency warns that the aim of Ukraine and the U.S.
15:52is to push NATO to close Russia's access to the Baltic Sea under the pretext of ensuring security.
16:00Moscow also warns that Ukraine is planning to get rid of any Russian actions,
16:05such as attacks on opposition representatives and fugitive resistance abroad.
16:17The Russian Defense Ministry reported its forces took out of Operation Nagaz
16:22an energy complex used by Kiev for military operations.
16:26Among the target hits were the military airfields and warehouses
16:30where drones are equipped and prepared.
16:33The operation was carried out using long-range precision weapons.
16:38The Defense Ministry and the U.S. provide support during the military action.
16:44On the Ukrainian side, Energy Minister Herman Gulashenko
16:48confirmed that the Poltava oil and gas plant was damaged.
16:53Gulashenko reports several areas without gas supply and no fatalities.
17:04Farmers and ranchers in France are mobilizing to show their concern
17:08about the European Union agreement with Mercosur
17:10and the falling prices and increase in products costs.
17:14The European farmers said they will face unfair competition
17:19from their less regular American pairs.
17:22They also insist that their conditions have worsened in the last year
17:27and warns that if there is no change, prices could intensify in the coming weeks.
17:33The demonstration joins those by the United Kingdom farmer.
17:44The public authorities don't help us, the politicians don't help us,
17:48and our bosses don't listen to us either.
17:51That's why, after a while, we all joined the Union together,
17:55because at some point we want to be heard and raise our real problems.
18:14In other topics, in Uruguay, strong winds and storms
18:18caused power outages in a large part of the country.
18:21According to the state-owned energy supply company,
18:24more than 27,000 customers are without power.
18:27The rains and winds caused felled trees and damaged the power lines in the city.
18:32The electric company has not provided details on the restoration of services,
18:38but authorities warn that the most affected departments
18:42are those of Colonia, Soriano, Flores and San Jose.
18:49In Guatemala, a Mayan collective has denounced the irresponsibility of industries
18:55with soil waste collected from the bottom of Lake Atlitlan
18:59with the support of more than 50 divers.
19:19More than 50 internationally renowned divers changed their mission
19:23of rescuing lives to face a new challenge,
19:26collecting solid waste at the bottom of Lake Atlitlan, in the department of Solola.
19:32Today we are in this activity because we know that we also have to contribute to nature,
19:36so, I repeat, these are people who come today to donate their time.
19:42It is an initiative of the Taz Anaya collective from San Pedro La Laguna, Solola,
19:47which for more than a decade has fought against contamination,
19:50aimed at healing and rescuing Lake Atlitlan.
19:56There is environmental racism here because we, the indigenous women,
20:00the indigenous communities, end up picking up the waste.
20:03We end up depositing this garbage that the big industries have generated.
20:12The leaders' words are translated into numbers.
20:15The divers collected more than 1,500 pounds of waste,
20:18washed in by the rains from communities that do not have waste treatment plants.
20:26We found a lot of non-recyclable material, iron, ferrous and many tires,
20:30so that occupies a large amount of volume in hard plastic, pipes, elbows.
20:41The sorting of this waste reflects the negative externalities of industries
20:44that do not calculate the harmful impacts of their products and packaging,
20:47suggests one of the villagers.
20:51Everyone calculates their profits, calculates their labor,
20:54calculates their raw materials, everything is calculated,
20:58but what they don't calculate is their solid waste.
21:06On February 11, 2025, Government Agreement 164-2021 comes into effect,
21:13which requires the classification of solid waste at the national level,
21:16a practice that San Pedro Laguna implemented since 2016.
21:24And with that, we have come to the end of this brief from Telesur English
21:28and from the south of Manamarrelo. Thank you for watching.
21:42Peace.
