00:34And the Vice President of Venezuela, Delsi Rodriguez, arrived this Wednesday in China to
00:42strengthen binational diplomatic relations with the Aishanyayan.
00:52Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters in
00:55Caracas, Venezuela. We'll be good with the news, stay with us.
01:10The body of Pope Francis has entered St. Peter's Basilica after being carried across St. Peter's
01:16Square and is now lying in the state after the liturgy the world has ended. The procession,
01:22which lasted just under 40 minutes, saw the transfer of the body of Pope Francis from his residence
01:29in Santa Marta passing through St. Peter's Square and concluding at St. Peter's Basilica.
01:36Carinal Carmelengo Kevin Farrell has just completed a liturgy of the world. He and others read from
01:47the manifestations of the Bible met with occasional responsible responses from the congregation.
01:54Cardinals are now paying their personal respects to the late Pope as the crown of Phil from
02:00seats outside in St. Peter's Square. Pope Francis' body is now in St. Peter's Basilica where he
02:06will be lying in the state until his funeral on Saturday.
02:19In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, dozens of faithfuls gather at St. George Parish on Wednesday to celebrate St.
02:25the state Patron's Day and pay tribute to the late Pope Francis. The celebration, which began
02:31at Don, drew people from various faiths, including Candleblad and Umbanda, who performed maces and light candles.
02:42In addition, images of Pope Francis were also projected besides of the traditional St. George images outside the parish,
02:50while a video showing his 23rd visit to Rio was presented on screen. The devotion to St. George, who also represents
02:59Umbanda in the Candleblad and Umbanda religions, is strong in the city as worshippers believe it gives them strength
03:09and protection against all evil.
03:18University professors in Argentina go on strike for 24 hours and prepare to rally against
03:23Malay's government policies. This Wednesday, the Union of University teachers explain that they will mobilize
03:29towards Congress together with the Retirees protest as a measure for force against the state.
03:36The Union is asking authorities for a reinstatement plan to return 11 OH for the workers of the sector.
03:52Also in Argentina, almost 2 million households lost subsidized on power tariff under the last nine months
03:59after the implementation of Javier Malay's cutbacks plan. In this regard, and according to the agreement
04:06between the International Monetary Fund and the Malay Administration, the cuts to the energy sector
04:11will be dependent and no more than 3 million users will be reclassified.
04:18Venezuela continues to overcome the economic crisis generated by the illegal US sanctions.
04:33In this scenario, citizens repatriated with the help of the social program Return to the Homeland
04:38Homeland, also have the opportunity to work in favor of the economic growth of the country.
04:43Let's see the following report of our colleague Bruno Faizi.
04:47The Return to the Homeland Plan has helped more than 1 million migrants to return to their country
04:54and their families, along with the state's productive reintegration programs.
04:59It is a great mission, that is to say. It is an interinstitutional social program that has several work areas. In that sense.
05:14One that is being activated today is the socio-economic vertex with a joint effort with the National Fund of Programs for Small and Medium Enterprises
05:21with HomePime to start the training plan as part of the whole entrepreneurship policy. There is a route that has to do with training, strengthening, financing and also the fares. So in this process we are activating the training route.
05:34The National Fund of Reciprocal Guarantees for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises together, with a mission back to the homeland, are training the repatriated groups to enter the labour market,
05:47so that they can return to their daily lives and foster the nation's economic growth.
05:56The program is a new program that was born with the same characteristics of the Venezuelan policies,
06:03the economic prosperity policies of the president, but now it has directly focused on all of this,
06:13with nationals who come to strengthen their knowledge, their hopes, but also to embrace their dreams and their illusions in a loving and economic way,
06:24so that they can have productive projects that generate added value and projects that are sustainable over time for their well-being as a family and also for the territorial development and the development of the country as well as the economic prosperity that we are witnessing.
06:36Venezuelans have expressed their desire to contribute to the economic growth of this South American country and to return to their families.
06:48I made the decision to return because I felt insecure there, economically unstable.
06:55I also come with my two children, one twelve years old and one three years old.
07:05The lack of emotional support there is also strong.
07:12Being away from the people you love is hard, thanks to the homeland for helping us, because this was really hope, as they say.
07:20I had already left my country for about six years.
07:28I was in Ecuador in Peru, but I got tired of being over there, without my family, without my loved ones.
07:38I have three children and well, I came back here.
07:43I feel very happy with this plan.
07:47I am very happy that they gave me the opportunity to be here with my family.
07:52I feel lucky.
07:53These policies are part of the National Development Plan known as the seven transformations promoted by the government of this country
08:03with the objective of achieving full economic independence.
08:08In the camera of Marcos da Silva, by Bruno Falci, from Caracas, Venezuela.
08:15Let's take a very first break.
08:17Good back down in Galway, because we'll be right back and stay with us.
08:20Welcome back to From the South.
08:41The Vice President of Venezuela, Delsi Rodriguez, arrived this Wednesday in China to strengthen
08:45by national diplomatic relations with the HIN.
08:48Rodriguez was received at the Beijing airport by delegations handed by the Deputy Director of
08:53the Department of the American-Caribbean of the Chinese Prime Ministry and Venezuela's ambassador
08:58to this country, Remigio Ceballos.
09:01The official visit is made to consolidate joint policies threatening trade exchange and promote
09:08achievements in various files of growth.
09:11The Vice President is expected to meet with different authorities in economic, technological,
09:17and political areas of the Asian continent and sign new agreements within the framework
09:22of this particular partnership signed between China and Venezuela in September 2023.
09:36Another sharp terms of event, Donald Trump has now stated that high tariffs on goods from
09:41China could come down substantially, although they won't be zero.
09:46Three now at the House news conference Trump state that the final tariff will not be near
09:51the current 145 percent, which he describes as too high.
09:57The remarks come after the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson declared that high tariffs were unsustainable
10:04and that he hoped for a trade war this collision as the HIN had contract with 125 percent tariff
10:14on U.S. goods.
10:16In this regard, the Chinese Prime Ministry stressed the country's willingness to have negotiations
10:26with the U.S. if the Western government seeks dialogue and stops its ongoing threats and blackmail.
10:33There are no winners in tariff wars or trade wars, and protectionism leads nowhere,
10:40decoupling and breaking chains will only isolate oneself.
10:43Regarding the tariff war initiated by the United States, China's stance is clear,
10:47we do not want to fight, but we are not afraid to fight.
10:50We will fight to the end if you want to have a tariff war, but if you want to have negotiations, our door is open.
10:56If the U.S. truly wants to resolve issues through dialogue and negotiation, it should stop threats and blackmail
11:02and engage in dialogue with China on the basis of equality, respect, and mutual benefit.
11:07Moving on, in the United States, forest fires raging south of New Jersey triggered the evacuation of at least 3,000 people.
11:31The fire forced thousands of people to evacuate their place of residence following the threat of the spread of flames in civilian areas.
11:41According to the New Jersey Fire Department, the fire has reached one of the busiest roads in the city,
11:47which is why they have closed off the neighboring municipalities.
11:52So far, the laws have burned more than 1,000 hectares and left at least 15,000 people without power.
11:59In Ecuador, authorities report floods and landslides following heavy rains in several regions.
12:10The National Secretariat of Risk Management report that at least three parishes are at high risk due to floods
12:18caused by the overflowing of rivers, which affects around 12,000 families.
12:24The agency also said that commercial establishments are closed since floods damage to basic goods.
12:37In Turkey, a magnitude 6.2 earthquake was left in Istanbul and was failed in Istanbul on Wednesday.
12:44Authorities report so far 151 people injured as they tried to exceed buildings out of windows.
12:50The U.S. geological survey said the earthquake has a shadow depth of 10 kilometers.
12:57When a navy center from 40 kilometers south-west of Istanbul in the Sea of Marmara and was failed in several neighboring regions.
13:14The Sudanese authorities report new fighting south of the city of Darfur, which left more than 350 civilian kills in the last few days.
13:23The Sudanese army neutralized at least 20 paramilitary groups during the operation carried out near Daniela.
13:30The army also blamed civilians casualties on the rapid support forces and attempts to take control of the city,
13:39a situation that contributes to food insecurity.
13:42Thus, the authorities asked the United Nations to deliver humanitarian aid to refute crimes in the region.
13:48Let's take a last break before we invite you to stay because we'll be right back.
14:01Welcome back to From the South.
14:15Back to From the South.
14:16We are going live with the International Airport in Maiketia, the state La Guayra,
14:23in which an airplane just is arriving with back to the Hamlin plant from Honduras.
14:31In this sense, as we see, the airplane is arriving to Caracas from Honduras with 174 people on the road.
14:49The airplane just landed at the International Airport of Maiketia with 174, the last airplane that has arrived to the country in this year.
15:07This one that we are witnessing right now, this is the last flight that has arrived to the country.
15:13This is like the 14th or the 15th plane that has arrived in the country from different parts of the world.
15:25This one in particular has arrived from Honduras with 174 people.
15:34There are different personalities of the government waiting for the people that have just returned back to the Hamlin plant to the country.
15:48People that have returned safely with health care and with psychological care too.
16:01The president of Venezuela established the really current return and safe return to the Venezuelan under synchronizes of the sanctions, blockades and more than 100 coercive measures here in the country.
16:20But since 2019, the president of Venezuela has created this back to the Hamlin plant to the return of the combat trots that are outside of the country and wanted to return to the Hamlin plant, which is Venezuela.
16:40Well, 174 people, Venezuelans just arrived from Honduras, took to La Guadalha State to the International Airport Human Bolivar in Maiketia.
16:57All Venezuelans, mostly that are from the United States, went to other states and that way they returned to the Venezuelan country.
17:12And this was established as the Venezuelan president and the Interior Minister of Justice and Peace, which has been the people in charge of the return of this back to the Hamlin plant.
17:31In this sense, we are waiting for the authorities to speak and give their information about returning to these planes with 174 people from Honduras.
17:48When they came from the United States, fly to Honduras and from Honduras they returned to the country.
17:57In this sense, we will continue informing you about more of this plane that just has arrived here in Venezuela from Honduras.
