00:03 In Palestine, the Israeli siege continued Thursday,
00:15 with rising number of dead and wounded.
00:18 In Haiti, army gangs continue their attacks
00:23 on exclusive areas of Port-au-Prince while the--
00:27 [INAUDIBLE]
00:30 Sudan is on the brink of a food catastrophe.
00:34 Hello, and welcome to From the South.
00:44 I'm Amber Marshallton.
00:45 And from Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba,
00:49 we begin with the news.
00:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:54 On Thursday in Palestine, in the framework
01:12 of 170 days of Zionist attacks, a dozen of Palestinians
01:17 were killed and injured by the Israeli occupation troops,
01:21 mostly women and children.
01:23 Precisely for the fourth consecutive day,
01:26 the occupying forces carried out a fierce operation
01:30 in the Arima neighborhood inside the Al-Shifa medical complex.
01:34 In a sense, United Nations Secretary General
01:37 expects his concern for the severe situation
01:41 and reiterates that attacking hospitals is a war crime.
01:45 In the meantime, health authorities
01:48 confirmed more than 100,000 Palestinian victims
01:51 among the total number of dead and wounded.
01:54 In the meantime, Herthy Halavi, chief of the General Staff
02:03 of Israel, admitted the operation carried out
02:06 in Al-Shifa hospital complex.
02:09 In this regard, the aim was to put pressure
02:12 on Hamas to spy on Gasson's denounce, a fierce bombardment
02:17 on civil population within the health facility
02:20 just in the middle of the holy month of Ramadan.
02:24 In turn, the Zionist military avoided
02:27 mentioning civilian casualties, citing only that 50 Hamas
02:33 members died during the attack.
02:35 It should be noted that in November, Israel and United
02:39 States claimed to have evidence that the hospital was
02:42 under Hamas command, but never proved it.
02:45 Israeli occupation forces have begun a large-scale incursion
03:01 into a North Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank
03:04 province of Tukhar and Gwenstate,
03:07 imposing a trial siege on it.
03:10 WAFA correspondents report that as many as 50 Israeli military
03:16 vehicles raided the North Shams refugee camp,
03:19 declaring it a closed military zone,
03:22 prohibiting entry and exit of Palestinian citizens
03:26 into and out of the camp.
03:28 Additionally, Israeli forces raided several homes
03:32 in Shabal Salehin neighborhood on the camp.
03:35 Meantime, Israeli drones targeted
03:38 sites within the Al-Mashiyya neighborhood of the camp,
03:42 the nature of which remains unknown
03:45 due to the trial siege, aimed at places for health and ambulance
03:50 access, as several injuries were reported.
03:53 12 civilians, including at least two children,
04:02 were killed on Wednesday in Israeli airstrikes
04:06 that targeted residential homes in different areas
04:09 in the northern and southern regions of the Gaza Strip.
04:13 According to sources, Israeli warplanes
04:16 bombed the Isra family home east of Rafah city
04:20 in the southern Gaza Strip, killing six civilians
04:24 and causing injuries to several others.
04:27 An Israeli strike also targeted a house
04:30 belonging to the Habush family west of the Gaza city,
04:34 resulting in the killing of mother and her son.
04:38 Israeli military drones also targeted a group of civilians
04:42 near the Hamouda crossing east of Shabalia
04:46 in the northern Gaza Strip, killing the three civilians
04:49 and injuring 10 others.
04:50 Saudi Arabia's King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief
05:01 Center is providing $14 million in support
05:05 of the Urwa humanitarian relief efforts in the Gaza Strip.
05:10 Abdullah al-Rabir, supervisor general of the Scarlef
05:15 and Urwa commissioner general Philip Belasarini,
05:18 designed an agreement on Wednesday
05:20 confirming this general support to the agency.
05:24 The funding will provide food for more than 250 million
05:30 peoples and tents for 20 million families.
05:34 Since the outbreak of the erasure of the Gaza Strip,
05:38 up to 1,000,007 people, or over 75% of the population,
05:45 have been displaced, some of them multiple times.
05:49 Commissioner General Belasarini reiterated
05:52 the unprecedented level of suffering and need
05:56 in the Gaza Strip, praising strong regional partners
05:59 such as Scarlef for heeding the call for support and solidarity
06:04 with the people in Gaza and the unprecedented humanitarian
06:08 crisis in the Gaza Strip.
06:10 Now let's take a short break.
06:16 But remember, you can join us on TikTok and Telesur English,
06:21 where you will find news in different formats, news
06:24 updates, and more.
06:26 Other stories coming up.

06:29 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:33 The Gans led the besieged Port-au-Prince,
06:54 the capital of Haiti, have strengthened and spread
06:57 their attacks to the exclusive suns and embassy headquarters.
07:01 Meanwhile, negotiations to form a transitional government
07:05 are proceeding very slowly.
07:07 Petion Ville, an area of high standing
07:11 where diplomatic missions are located,
07:13 residents are foreigners and wealthy nationals,
07:17 is shaken for more than 24 hours by shots and explosions.
07:22 In the streets of the capital, we've
07:24 seen be left to their fate, bodies, and destruction.
07:28 The United States has limited itself now
07:31 after imposing the appointment of Ariel Henry
07:35 and his subsequent resignation to evacuating
07:39 as far as the Dominican Republic is nationalized.
07:42 In the United States, after the decision
07:49 of the Court of Appeals of the Fifth Circuit
07:53 that suspended the Texas SB4 law,
07:57 its governor has decided to go against the decision.
08:01 Red Abbo, who confesses to having detained more than 41,000
08:07 migrants without the law, assured
08:09 that he could continue with the arrest under the charge
08:13 of breaking and entering.
08:15 The offense may carry penalties of up to 20 years in prison.
08:21 Additionally, the state, he will not
08:24 stop the construction of the border wall,
08:27 a mission entrusted to the National Guard,
08:30 and that he will continue to deploy
08:33 bodies along the Rio Gravel.
08:35 Three judges of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
08:39 suspended the notorious SB4 and to me
08:43 ran law that allow a state judge to order
08:47 the deportation of immigrants.
08:50 [INAUDIBLE]
08:53 And in Cuba, the Third Party International Symposium
08:56 concluded this Wednesday.
08:58 Communicators and leaders discussed the possibility
09:01 of a new world order for information and communication.
09:06 The event welcomed more than 100 guests from 30 countries
09:11 and sought to consolidate digital political communication
09:15 and sovereign development of technologies
09:18 that promote communication progress in nations.
09:22 The Parto International Symposium
09:24 also sought to broaden new horizons
09:28 on the eve of a digitalized global order protected
09:31 by an already limited mass communication culture,
09:35 but with other approaches to promote
09:38 the development of ideas.
09:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:43 [NON-ENGLISH SINGING]
09:46 Speaking to our multi-platform, the president of Telesur,
09:54 Patricia Villegas assured that today's communication is not
09:58 only a problem for journalists and communicators,
10:01 and added that it is also necessary for the information
10:05 to be pleasant so that it can easily
10:08 reach the whole audience.
10:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:14 Communication today is not only a problem of journalists.
10:16 It is not only a problem of communicators.
10:19 We need mathematicians, engineers, and statisticians
10:22 who are next to the newsrooms, as well as the journalists.
10:25 And all of them are helping in the creation of that message
10:27 so that it can really reach the audience.
10:29 Certainly, one of the keys is to make an aesthetic communication,
10:33 to make a beautiful, pleasant communication that
10:35 can be heard.
10:36 That is, that one can see it well,
10:38 that we do not have to make a great effort
10:40 to see our contents.
10:41 It means that we must be able to compete technically
10:44 and aesthetically with the dominant communication.
10:49 The president of Telesur also made a statement
10:52 on the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people.
10:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:00 It is a great challenge because we
11:01 have to tell that there is a genocide in Gaza
11:04 and that genocide is portrayed as tragic as it is.
11:07 In other words, there are mutilated bodies.
11:09 There is a completely besieged population.
11:12 Children are running after trucks to get a piece of bread.
11:15 That is what is happening.
11:16 But at the same time, other things
11:18 are happening in the world.
11:19 And we must have the possibility to show
11:21 this multiplicity of actions and increasingly
11:23 show on our screens these other contents,
11:26 these other concerns.
11:27 In this framework, the multimedia platform Telesur
11:34 received Feldmeister Award.
11:36 And Telesur's president, Patricia Villegas,
11:39 received the Felix Almosa Medal at the closure
11:43 of the Patro International Symposium held in Havana
11:47 from March 18 to 20.
11:51 Villegas received both praises from the hands
11:54 of high press officials of the Caribbean country
11:57 for Telesur's outstanding professional work
12:00 during over 15 years of service.
12:03 Likewise, the Cuban Union of Journalists, UPEC,
12:07 decided to grant the Felix Almosa Medal to Villegas
12:11 for making important contributions to journalism
12:14 with investigations and other works that
12:17 have merit national and international recognition also
12:21 for promoting relations of friendship and collaboration
12:25 between UPEC and Cuban journalists
12:28 with their colleagues and organizations
12:31 in other countries.
12:32 [VIDEO PLAYBACK]
12:35 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
12:36 - I received this distinction with great pride.
12:39 It moves me.
12:40 And I receive it, of course, on behalf
12:41 of all the workers of Telesur, who
12:44 in all parts of the world, but especially in Cuba
12:46 and in Venezuela, have overcome all the difficulties.
12:50 We have come to work on foot.
12:51 We have come to work despite the lack of electricity,
12:54 despite the lack of fuel, because there isn't.
12:57 But the signal has to go out, and the stories
12:59 have to be told.
13:00 And we are always on the front line of the battle.
13:02 And we will continue to be there.
13:06 - We have a final short break coming up.
13:08 But before, we invite you to join our WhatsApp community

13:41 [END PLAYBACK]
13:58 Welcome back to "From the South."
14:00 In Sudan, the war started last year.
14:04 It is estimated to result in around 200,000 children's
14:09 death of malnutrition in the upcoming weeks,
14:12 one of the worst humanitarian disasters in recent times.
14:17 The country, which has already experienced
14:20 the large internal displacement crisis in the world,
14:24 with 6.5 million people's pilgrimage within the territory,
14:30 is experiencing a situation of acute food insecurity.
14:35 The war that began almost a year ago
14:38 between the current government and the head
14:40 of the military forces has left thousands dead and wounded,
14:45 and 18 million people facing severe food insecurity.
14:50 Evans Mosorno, director of operations
14:53 for the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs,
14:57 told the Security Council that the situation was a nightmare.
15:07 In Spain, a court in Guaincestate authorized the release
15:11 from jail of Brazilian football player Dani Alves in exchange
15:15 for a bail of 1 million euros while appeals
15:19 against the rape conviction are being resolved.
15:24 It is ruling that Barcelona court granted Alves
15:27 provisional release in exchange for the payment of 1 million
15:31 euro bail and the handover and his Spanish and Brazilian
15:36 passport.
15:37 The Brazilian player is also required to remain in Spain
15:41 and show up in court on a weekly basis.
15:45 The court decision comes one day after Alves' lawyer claimed
15:49 the 40-year-old footballer had already
15:53 served a quarter of his sentence and deserved prison benefits.
15:57 The court's rulings do a furious response
16:01 from the victim's lawyer, who denounced the decision
16:04 as justice for the rich.
16:06 We go now to the Russian, where the government
16:15 warned that France will suffer a humiliating defeat.
16:19 It has decided to send troops to Ukraine.
16:23 The vice president of the Russian Security Council,
16:26 Dmitry Medvedev, assured that eliminating
16:28 French military personnel systematically
16:32 could not be the most difficult task, but the most important
16:35 one.
16:36 The vice president of the Security Council
16:39 assured that the number of confines delivered to France
16:44 will make it impossible to hide the massive deaths
16:47 of professional soldiers.
16:49 In this regard, Medvedev warned that France will not
16:53 be able to excuse itself by saying
16:56 that the professional troops are working as mercenaries
16:59 and asserted that the French military, once they enter
17:04 Ukraine, will become full-fledged fighters as part
17:09 of an interventionist contingent.
17:10 Indonesian election commissions informed on Wednesday
17:20 that Prabowo Subianto has been elected president of the world's
17:27 third biggest democracy, beating two rivals who
17:31 have voted to file legal complaints about the vote.
17:35 The defense minister already declared victory
17:38 last month after an official count showed
17:41 him winning a majority.
17:44 The candidate was officially confirmed as a winner Wednesday
17:48 after receiving more than 96 million votes, 58.6%
17:55 of the total and enough to secure a first-round majority.
17:59 Speaking outside his house in the capital,
18:02 Jakarta, Prabowo thanks Indonesians and his party
18:07 for helping him rise to the country's highest office.
18:10 We have come to the end of this news brief.
