00:58Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm Lorena Font from the Telesur Studios in Caracas, Venezuela.
01:03We begin with the news. Stay with us.
01:18In Colombia, a presidential candidate, Ivan Cepel, has officially announced he accepts the results of the presidential run-off election,
01:25which designates right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espiella as the new president of the South American country.
01:31In a message to the nation, Cepel stated his decision aims to preserve national peace and dialogue following an extremely
01:37tight race, decided by less than 1% margin.
01:41Despite conceding, Cepel heavily criticized the electoral process, denouncing what he considered as a dirty campaign and an illegal foreign
01:49interference, pointing directly to statements made by Donald Trump in favor of de la Espiella.
01:55The left-wing leader highlighted that his coalition achieved a historic milestone by securing over 12.7 million votes.
02:02He warned the incoming administration that the progressive bloc will lead a staunch democratic opposition to safeguard social reform such
02:11as land, redistribution, pensions, and free higher education.
02:22The historic agreement of the Alliance for Life, as it was fortunately announced, and at this stage of the vote
02:32count,
02:32I have decided to accept the result that emerged from the due process, which indicates that Abelardo de la Espiella

02:46I do so a democratic act of great responsibility.
02:50I do so to contribute to harmony, peace, and dialogue among Colombians.
02:59Presidential candidate Iván Cepeda stated that recognizing the election results does not mean renouncing the truth process.
03:11Accepting the election results does not mean renouncing the truth or remaining silent in the face of events that we
03:19consider serious and that marked this presidential campaign.
03:26Venezuela commemorates the 205th anniversary of the battle of Carabobo on June 24th, with ceremonies in the capital, Caracas.
03:33The event began at the National Pantheon, where cadets from the Bolivarian Armed Military University deployed that raised the tricolor
03:42flag in the presence of high-ranking Venezuelan officials.
03:45This national holiday, which honors the sacrifice of the liberators commended by Simón Bolívar,
03:50also coincides with the day of the Bolivarian army.
03:53From the iconic Campo de Carabobo to the main Bolivar squares across the country, authorities and the people pay tribute
04:00to the roots that founded the Bolivarian Republic.
04:11The acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, met with Vietnam's foreign minister, Le Hoi Trong, and the Miraflores Palace to
04:18discuss and assess bilateral relations.
04:20The meeting aims to establish a strategic agenda for the next phase of cooperative relations between Venezuela and Vietnam.
04:27The goal is to strengthen political trust, promote economic trade and cooperation, and expand partnerships into new areas.
04:34Let's recall that in recent days, Vietnam's foreign minister held a phone conversation with his Venezuelan counterpart, Ivan Hill,
04:41in which they agreed to develop a bilateral agenda for the 2026-2030 period.
04:54Brazilian oil giant Petrobras and Mexico's Pemex agreed on Tuesday to explore joint oil and gas projects, particularly in the
05:01Gulf of Mexico.
05:02Line America's two largest oil giants, Petrobras and Pemex, have signed major cooperation agreements in Rio de Janeiro to develop
05:10joint oil and gas exploration and production ventures.
05:13The Strategic Memorandum of Understanding aims to leverage Brazil's specialized expertise in deep water, drilling to revitalize and boost crude
05:23production in the Mexican portion of the Gulf of Mexico.
05:27Backed by President Lula Silva and Claudia Sheinbaum, the alliance will also study efforts to improve refinery efficiency and petrochemical
05:35production, strengthening regional energy security.
05:56In a new escalation of its maximum pressure policy against Cuba, the United States government imposed new sanctions against five
06:03companies and one Cuban citizen.
06:05The affected entities include the financial firms Rafinha and International Financial Bank, the logistics company Universal Source, the state Rongeo
06:14Minera and the José Martí Steel Enterprise, which is the island's primary metallurgical complex.
06:21Additionally, sanctions were imposed on Analia Lilian Rueda, a wife of Alejandro Castro's pin, who was previously targeted by the
06:29U.S. administration.
06:30This measure aims to further tighten the economic and financial restrictions that Washington maintains on Cuba at a time when
06:37the Cuban people are already facing severe consequences from the blockade.
06:50In Turkey, law enforcement agencies conducted an anti-terrorism operation that resulted in the arrest of 209 people.
06:57According to reports from the prosecutor's office, those arrested are accused of belonging to terrorist networks and extremist militias.
07:04In this context, the raids took place 24 hours after the Ankara government issued a decree banning all public protests
07:11to secure the capital.
07:13According to opposition groups, these arrests are part of a broader crackdown on democracy and the civil liberties of the
07:19population.

22:24ronaldo answered the critics with a pure fury of true icon renowned commentator victor uo morales
22:29weighs in on ronaldo's mindset in yesterday's world cup clash and his undeniable determination to dominate the
22:35pitch what cannot be denied in any way is ronaldo's sacred fire the attitude he showed in today's game
22:42he was criticized immediately because if he plays poorly at age 30 it's no big deal but if he plays
22:49poorly at 41 it's because he's old they immediately heap that shame on the player and ronaldo came out
22:56today with the fury befitting a true star of course because he stepped onto the field from the very first
23:02minute as if convinced that in this match he was going to be the star and the goal scorer
