00:00 In Palestine, thousands of residents of Gaza City are currently being evacuated to the
00:16 south after being warned by the Israeli occupation forces.
00:22 In Bolivia, more than 611,000 families are affected by the severe drought, currently
00:28 affecting seven of the nine departments of the country.
00:33 In India, the ninth parliamentary summit of the nation of the group of 20 began with a
00:38 view to promoting global governance in order to face the current legislative challenges.
00:46 Hello, welcome to From the South.
00:51 I'm Ana Rosa Vald from the Television Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:54 We begin with the news.
01:08 Thousands of residents of Gaza City are currently being evacuated to the south after being warned
01:13 by the Israeli occupation forces.
01:15 The warning comes before an attack by the Israeli forces to be carried out this Friday
01:20 in an open area of the territory where more than one million people live.
01:25 Let's remember that in the last 24 hours, the percentage of displaced citizens rose
01:30 to 25%, resulting in a present number of 423,378 displaced people.
01:38 Therefore, the United Nations call on the United Nations community to declare that any
01:44 similar measure must be abolished immediately in order to avoid the state and humanitarian
01:49 consequences.
01:50 On Thursday, the head of the World Health Organization, Teodos Adhanom Ghebreyesus,
02:00 expressed his concern for all the families affected by the bombardment in the Gaza Strip.
02:05 I'm worried.
02:08 My heart goes to all those who have lost their lives and their families, both from Israel
02:13 and Palestine.
02:17 This is a very sad moment.
02:22 But in this conflict, still, I think those who need support should be supported, and
02:29 those who need protection should be protected.
02:33 The leader also requested the help of the Egyptian government to open a humanitarian
02:37 corridor to provide provisions and supplies to the affected population in the Gaza Strip.
02:44 I just came from Cairo, actually, yesterday – came back from Cairo – and I met President
02:52 al-Sisi of Egypt, and I asked him if he could help in transferring medical supplies through
03:01 the Gaza crossing, the Rafah crossing, to help the Palestinians in Gaza, which he had
03:10 agreed.
03:11 And we need a corridor to provide medical services and so on.
03:16 That's what I would ask for.
03:19 One is to protect civilians, and second, to provide them with the support they need, be
03:24 it food, medical services, supplies, and the other things they need.
03:31 U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with the President of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas,
03:37 in Amman, Jordan.
03:39 The meeting was held behind closed doors, and no further information on the results
03:43 of the meeting is known.
03:45 Blinken will also meet with the Jordanian King Abdullah II, who has condemned the incessant
03:50 Israeli bombardments of the Palestinian enclave.
03:53 Between tomorrow and Sunday, he will visit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates,
03:58 and Egypt.
03:59 Meanwhile, the American official came from Israel, where he assured that his country
04:04 will guarantee everything necessary to put an end to the Palestinian faction Hamas.
04:13 On Friday, Hezbollah's Secretary General Sayyed Hassan al-Shuraila received by Iran's
04:18 Former Minister Hossein Amir Abdel-Ahmed.
04:21 A Lebanese press stated that his authority had omitted to review actions taken in the
04:26 region, particularly the current Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestine.
04:32 Vietnamese Minister Hossein Amir assured that it is important for his country to maintain
04:37 calm in Lebanon.
04:38 He also reiterated the strong political and media support for the Palestinian resistance
04:42 in the context of the drought-related aggression against the Gaza Strip.
04:47 Both officials said in the national and regional stances, as well as the likely outcomes ahead
04:52 of the historical incidents and their dangerous development.
04:57 Foreign Secretary Foreign Minister Mehdi Shourstari and Iran Ambassador to Beirut Motava Amani
05:03 were also present at the meeting.
05:10 In Iraq, dozens of thousands of protesters took to Baghdad streets to bathe the Palestinian
05:15 people.
05:16 Demonstrators waved Iran's and Palestine's flag as they were cursing, motors and carrying
05:21 banners.
05:22 "No occupation, down with Israel."
05:25 According to local media, support for Trump's political rally flags spread rejection to
05:29 the actions taken by the occupying forces.
05:32 Similar rallies occurred at once in different nations of the region.
05:36 Let's take a short break.

06:07 Welcome back.
06:26 In Ecuador, presidential candidates Luisa Gonzalez and Anil Navoa concluded their electoral
06:31 campaigns.
06:33 The closing acts took place in the province of Santa Elena, Guayaquil.
06:37 Wearing a National Soccer Team jersey and a bulletproof vest, the candidate of the Citizen
06:41 Revolution who won the first round of these extraordinary elections concluded the promotion
06:46 stage with a multitudinous act in the coastal city of Guayaquil.
06:51 During her speech, she denounced the increased violence of the 280,000 Ecuadorians who migrated
06:57 as a result of the crisis in an Indian country.
07:04 Venezuela celebrated on Thursday the resolution adopted at the United Nations Human Rights
07:09 Council against the imposition of unilateral coercive measures.
07:14 The permanent representative of the South American country to the multilateral organization
07:18 Geneva, Edouard Constant, valued this default in his ex-account as a new victory for international
07:24 law.
07:25 The resolution in question indicates that no statement resorts or encourages the use
07:30 of any type of measure to coerce the United States in order to obtain it from the subordination
07:35 of the Earth's side of its sovereign rights or to obtain it for the advantage of any kind.
07:41 During the 39th session of the Human Rights Committee, Foreign Minister Ivan Hill denounced
07:46 that Venezuela was targeted by the perverse strategy of regime change promoted by the
07:51 United States and international ultra-rights.
07:59 During the sixth meeting of the International Forum on the Russian Energy Week, Venezuelan
08:03 Vice President Delsi Rodriguez assured that Western sanctions against Venezuela remain
08:09 intact.
08:10 Delsi Rodriguez stated that the unilateral coercive measures imposed by the United States
08:15 and the European Union caused serious damage to the Venezuelan economy.
08:20 The head official also indicated that the impact of the sanctions against the country
08:24 has had as a consequence a lot of thousand dollars in oil production.
08:29 Rodriguez pointed out that following the people's own efforts, the government has undergone
08:34 an economic recovery process, highlighting that by 2024, Venezuela is projected to be
08:40 one of the first countries in South America to grow.
08:45 The 930 unilateral coercive measures called illegal and illegitimate sanctions are still
08:56 intact against Venezuela.
08:58 It is a system of sanctions, extortion, blackmail, which precisely sought to asphyxiate the Venezuelan
09:05 economy to pressure and push the Venezuelan people to change their political course.
09:11 That is the first thing.
09:13 There are 930 sanctions against Venezuela that are absolutely in force.
09:19 Now the impact that this has had on the Venezuelan economy is brutal.
09:24 In five years, Venezuela has lost the production of 3,995 million barrels, a barbaric figure
09:31 that represents $232 billion.
09:38 The executive vice president of Venezuela, Desir Rodriguez, stressed that the economic
09:42 lag at the BRIC is contributing to the formation of a new world.
09:50 The BRICs today have 43 of the world's energy reserves, but it has also become a space for
09:56 meeting and dialogue between the world's main producers and consumers.
10:00 That it is, it accounts for 29 of the world's gross domestic product, 46 percent of the
10:06 world's population, 45 percent of the exports of goods, and 46 of the oil production.
10:12 It's a new world where Russia, well, it's in that core generator, the redolorization,
10:18 the creation of a new world.
10:21 In the United States, Democrat Senator Bob Menendez was indicted for accepting bribes
10:27 on behalf of a foreign government and acting as undercover agent.
10:31 The indictment is handed down by the federal jury in Manhattan, showed that Menendez provided
10:36 sensitive U.S. government information and took other actions that secretly aided the
10:41 government of Egypt.
10:43 These indictments allege that Bob Menendez leveraged his political influence for illicit
10:48 financial gains worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
10:52 The new indictment comes just weeks after the Democrat and his wife were accused of
10:56 accepting bribes in cash, but bullied in a luxury car from the three New York City businessman
11:01 who wanted the senator to help and influence any foreign affairs.
11:24 In Bolivia, more than 611,000 families are affected by the severe drought, currently
11:30 affecting some of the nine departments of the country.
11:33 The Bolivian civil defense stated that around 133 municipalities have been declared in a
11:40 state of disaster due to the lack of water.
11:43 According to the agency vice minister Juan Calvimontes, a lot of vital liquid has impacted
11:48 at least 611,251 families.
11:54 The entity informed that the departments of Chukisaca, Cochabamba and La Paz are in a
11:59 state of emergency due to the lack of water.
12:02 They also indicated that in the coming weeks, a decrease in the number of affected communities
12:07 is suspected due to an approximation of rainfall in several areas of the country.
12:17 The Vietnamese government called for climate monitoring and effective measures to be taken
12:22 if it are to flood and rest in the center of the country.
12:26 The National Hydrometeorological Forecasting Center reported that rainfall could range
12:31 from 200 to 400 millimeters, while in some areas it could reach 700 millimeters.
12:38 Vietnam's head of government urged local authorities to evacuate areas or rigs of landlines and
12:43 flood floods, and ordered them to implement safety plans to provide temporary shelter,
12:48 food and basic necessities for evacuated civilians.
12:51 A few days earlier, flooding in Provence in the north of the country left five dead, seven
12:56 injured and two missing.

14:42 The motion presented by the group of opposition parliamentarians argued that the president
14:47 subverted the democratic process and consolidated an authoritarian regime that threatens peace
14:53 and citizens' rights.
14:54 In this regard, the president of the National Assembly, Carolina Sergueira, instructed the
14:59 permanent commission to receive and discuss a possible impeachment trial of the president
15:05 of the republic.
15:06 The parliamentary majority is held by the Popular Liberation Movement of Angola, which
15:11 supports Lorenza's administration.
15:18 The government of Zimbabwe is threatening epidemiological change in the face of a new
15:22 cholera outbreak, following the death of 100 people and the detection of at least 905 confirmed
15:28 cases.
15:29 Among the limitations announced by the Ministry of Health, it is the reduction of visits to
15:34 open markets, avoiding social gatherings and attending open and religious camps.
15:40 Besides, the serving of food and shaking hands at events has been banned.
15:44 Also, the authorities detail that the disease is a consequence of problems in the supply
15:49 of potabilization of water.
15:52 Affecting areas of Southern Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, South Africa and Mozambique.
16:01 The Moroccans rejected the involvement of international financial institutions in global
16:05 poverty and climate change during the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund
16:10 and the World Bank in Maghreb.
16:12 More than 70 organizations and social movements gathered to protest against the agenda of
16:18 the annual meeting of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
16:22 The participants warned the organizations that they cannot be condescending and support
16:27 economic policies that imply a step backwards in environmental matters.
16:31 The demonstration started in the central Badoukal square in the old part of Marrakech and circulated
16:37 under attentive police employment.
16:48 In Morocco, the International Monetary Fund managing the Red Turkey, Selina Georgieva,
16:53 called a press conference that what is happening in Gaza is regrettable and said that the IMF
16:59 is closely monitoring the evolution of the situation and how it affects the oil markets.
17:06 What is our reaction to that?
17:08 It's heartbreaking to see innocent civilians dying, an attack from one place on another
17:27 causing also reciprocity in response.
17:33 Who pays the price?
17:36 It is the innocent who pay the price.
17:42 We are very closely monitoring how the situation evolves, how it is affecting especially oil
17:54 markets.
17:56 It is too early to say.
17:59 We have seen some up and down of oil prices.
18:04 We have seen some reaction on markets.
18:11 And as I said, we will be closely monitoring this.
18:16 Very clearly this is a new cloud on not the sunniest horizon for the world economy, new
18:26 cloud darkening this horizon who of course not need it.
18:38 Pray for peace.
