00:19leaders from at least 130 countries.

00:33in their localization and their right to defend.
00:40And amid the energy crisis currently affecting Ecuador, the government of Daniel Novoa ordered a weekly disconnection of power supply
00:47to approximately 150 industries and companies with high electricity consumption.
00:57Hello, welcome from the South. I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Interso Studios in Caracas, Venezuela. We begin with the news.
01:19The General Debate of the 81st United Nations General Assembly kicked off in New York this Tuesday on the central
01:25theme of restoring trust in light of questions about the international body's effectiveness and a lack of funding.
01:32Our colleague Jorge Estoso is in the city and has all the information regarding these first speeches that have been
01:38given in this first day of debate. Welcome, Jorge, to From the South.
01:50Well, there is a very important morning here at the United Nations because the messages were pretty strong. We're talking
02:00the opening of the general debate.
02:03Day one presentation by the Secretary General. We are talking Antonio Guterres, who denounced that they are pushing, and basically
02:16he's saying Israel is pushing the U.N. not to be able to perform its duties at the Gaza Strip,
02:25where the Israeli forces even attack the representatives of the U.N.,
02:32not only a genocide of Palestinians, but also it's not letting the U.N. perform the role to promote peace.
02:42That was a message from the Secretary General. After that, Lula was also very clear to defend sovereignty.
02:51And he indicates that President Trump is most definitely interfering in the coming process of presidential elections in about a
03:05few weeks. We're talking about October the 4th. And he said, we have evidence that has been interference from President
03:15Trump on that. In that case, they say, please let your hands off Brazil.
03:21Brazil, you can run your country, but you cannot different other countries, was mentioned by Lula. And then the following
03:30spokesperson was President Trump. And he was defending, defending his war against Iran. He was against denying that the climate
03:45crisis is real.
03:47Well, again, as he did it in the past, he didn't that using these words. But it's the same follow
03:54-up question that he has said before, that climate change and climate crisis is a Chinese hoax. Well, he's in
04:05the same page in that sense.
04:07Also, he believes that the U.S. has the role, if you want, to attack countries that they disagree with
04:18in Latin America.
04:20And he was using once more strong words against Cuba, which Cuba has already responded, saying that Trump is using
04:30once more the lie as his tool in order to justify aggression and military interventions.
04:38Also, he was mentioned in some other parts of Latin America. He was also praising himself about the attack to
04:50Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Maduro and his wife.
04:54Mostly, mostly, mostly, mostly was a participation that nothing new was coming in terms of the position of the U
05:08.S. What it was coming before the lunch break, that it's still going on the morning session, that there was
05:18a trilateral agreement between Denmark, Greenland, and
05:24the U.S. To provide security through eventually military presence of the U.S. Of course, President Trump is presenting
05:36that as a big success.
05:39The people of Danish and Greenland, they have much more cautious words because Trump was mentioning that that accord was
05:51infinite, he said.
05:53And the representatives of the other two countries or the two territories do not agree.
06:00In the morning also is scheduled the participation of two far-right presidents of Latin America.
06:08We are talking Jose Antonio Cass of Chile and Keiko Fujimori of Peru.
06:14And in the afternoon, it's supposed to be participating also in Mexico. So we'll get back to you throughout the
06:23day with the latest. Now we go back to the studios.
06:27Thank you, Jorge, for the information regarding what has transpired in these first hours of the general debate. Let's continue
06:34with other topics regarding the U.N. General Assembly.
06:37The U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the first session, as Orestoso was saying, with a speech marked by ultimatums
06:44regarding the ongoing war with Iran alongside boasts about domestic achievements and international security agreements.
06:51The U.S. head of state defended the aggressions on Tehran for the frightening the Persian nation with annihilation as
06:58it failed to secure a peace deal.
07:00In addition, he highlighted his administration's alleged domestic record, including its strict border policies and immigration enforcement.
07:08Furthermore, he said the U.S. has reached an unprecedented agreement on Greenland with Denmark, informing Washington will build two
07:15military bases in the territory.
07:18Elsewhere, in his speech, he rejected calls to control artificial intelligence, mounting fears over its dangers.
07:27Also in this context, Trump held his actions in Latin America defending his drone strikes on boats in the Caribbean
07:33and the Pacific,
07:34and attacking Mexico and Cuba, failing to address Havana's current situation as a direct result of the intensification of the
07:41energy and economic blockade by his administration.
07:50A Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel rejected on Tuesday Trump's attack on Cuba at the United Nations General Assembly, affirming
07:57Havana's right to defend its peace and sovereignty.
08:00Via a post on his socials, Díaz-Canel denounced, unable to justify the punishment imposed on the Cuban people and
08:07his genocidal economic war,
08:08the U.S. President repeats at the UN that Cuba poses a threat.
08:12Lies are the weapon of those who refuse to accept the Cuban people's right to self-determination.
08:17In response to the Cuban head of state, we affirm, we will continue to fight for peace, defend our sovereignty
08:23and work together to overcome the ruthless aggression imposed on us by the U.S. government.
08:29Cuba is not a threat. The blockade is.
08:40Also, in response to Trump's address, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez took to his social media to reject his remarks,
08:46affirming the Caribbean nation does not represent a threat to the North American nation.
08:50Besides, Rodríguez stressed, the U.S. government is unable to accept that Cuba is and has the right to be
08:56a fully independent and sovereign country.
08:59None of the U.S. President's falsehoods at the UN nor any slander can or will ever deny that fact.
09:06Cuba is not a threat to the U.S. or to any other country.
09:09The economic blockade, including the energy blockade, does threaten Cuba and the rest of the world.
09:14It is an act of genocide and collective punishment.
09:16We are a peaceful country and we deserve peace.
09:19And in his message, by emphasizing Cuba is not a threat, the blockade is.
09:29We have our first break coming up. Remember, you can join us on TikTok at TEDxWinglish where you'll find news
09:33in different formats, news updates and more.
09:36We're going to be right back. Stay with us.
09:58Welcome back.
10:00The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency keeps the location of thousands of migrants detained for deportation, confidential difficulty,
10:07their delocalization and their right to a defense.
10:10The change affects the online tracking tool used by family members and attorneys to identify the place of detention and
10:17facilitate contact with those in custody.
10:19Attorneys warned that not knowing the location of their clients may hinder the filing of legal appeals and the preparation
10:26of their immigration defense.
10:27Regors cited by the press indicate that ICE held more than 65,000 people in custody, but nearly 16,000
10:34had final deportation orders.
10:42And on Monday, the White House launched Trump TV, a live streaming platform that will focus on broadcasting content related
10:49to United States President Donald Trump and his administration.
10:51The White House launched Trump TV on Monday, a continuous transmission platform focused on broadcasting content related to the President
10:59and his administration.
11:01The signal began broadcasting at 7 p.m. local time and opened its programming with the speech the U.S.
11:07President delivered this past July 3rd at Mount Rushmore during the commemorative ceremonies marking the 250th anniversary of U.S.
11:15independence.
11:16This launch comes amid a context of growing tensions between the presidency and various media outlets.
11:22On the very day of Trump's TV debut, major news networks suspended the White House's group television system.
11:28This system allowed the networks to take turns covering the President's travels and events, disputing the footage to other media.
11:34According to the White House, Trump TV would not only broadcast the President's speeches but would also feature ads, archival
11:41content and coverage of the administration's major activities.
11:52And amid the energy crisis currently affecting Ecuador, the government of Daniel de Boa ordered weekly disconnection of power supply
11:59to approximately 150 industries and companies with high electricity consumption.
12:03The measure begins on September 22nd and calls for the suspension of service for one day a week for companies
12:10in the high voltage segment one.
12:12Nearly 90% of the affected industries are concentrated in Guayaquil and Turan, while the rest are located in Pichincha,
12:18Cuenca and Tunguragua.
12:19The government seeks to reduce electricity demand by between 6,000 and 1,000 MW and preserve reserves at the
12:26Masar Reservoir, whose level has declined during the low water season.
12:37And co-president of Nicaragua, Rosario Murillo announced significant progress on Monday in key areas such as education, health, municipal
12:45development and safety for Nicaraguan families.
12:47In this context, Murillo highlighted progress in education across various formats.
12:52She also emphasized the importance of health, especially in the context of the rainy seasons, which benefit agricultural production and
12:59food security.
13:00She also mentioned the joint efforts of municipalities to improve infrastructure such as housing, streets and recreational spaces, with the
13:09goal of promoting holistic and healthy development.
13:12Furthermore, Rosario called on families to participate in the third national exercise for the protection of life.
13:18We are firmly a commitment of the state and the government to guarantee sovereign security and consolidate peace throughout the
13:24country.
13:42Peru remains on alert amid the early arrival of rains in the north of the country, especially in the Tumpes
13:49region on the border with Ecuador due to the El Niño phenomenon.
13:53The Minister of Agricultural Development, Marco Finelli, confirmed the alert and cancelled his trip to the United Nations General Assembly
14:00to remain in the country and oversee the response to possible emergencies.
14:05Forecasts indicate that El Niño could reach a high level of intensity toward the end of this year and extend
14:11its effects, at least until March 2027.
14:14The national government assures that it has the equipment to deal with floods, river, overflows and landslides.
14:26Floods in Nepal left more than 1,400 people dead and 6,150 missing while search and rescue efforts continue.
14:34These floods occurred on August 26 following the overflow of the Botokotchi River caused by a glacier and rock avalanche
14:42in the Port region with China.
14:43Search and rescue efforts continue in the affected areas, mainly in mountainous regions and communities along the Trishuli River.
14:50Let's recall that these floods caused damage to homes, roads, bridges and hydroelectric projects.
15:02And Typhoon 2-1 has left at least 4 people dead and 22 injured in Japan, while tens of thousands
15:07of households near Tokyo remained without electricity on Tuesday after the storm swept through the region.
15:13The typhoon brought winds of up to 144 km per hour before moving away from Japan, allowing authorities to downgrade
15:21most heavy rain and landslide warnings.
15:23In Yokosaka in Kanagawa prefecture, the racial rain triggered multiple landslides.
15:28The public broadcaster NHK reported that a woman in her 60s was killed after mud flowed into her home while
15:36another person died in Chiba.
15:38Four people remained missing as search operations continued.

16:42Saudi Fireplanes launched three airstrikes on Tuesday against the port city of Mosha in Yemen's Thais province, causing casualties.
16:48The report stated that the airstrikes left six people dead and eight wounded.
16:52Yemen's Armed Forces spokesman Jaya Sari stated that Monday night Saudi Arabia carried out 917 airstrikes since the latest escalation
17:03began.
17:04Tuesday's attacks on the Yemeni port city came after several news agencies reported on Saturday
17:08that there were explosions and plumes of black smoke near King Khalid International Airport in Punjad.
17:14This latest escalation followed significant advances by the Yemeni Armed Forces along the Yemeni's southwestern coast on the Red Sea
17:21earlier this month.
17:29Jewish worshippers and local residents gathered on Monday in New York City to hold a Jom Kippur service
17:35that combined traditional mourning rituals with a protest against Israel's actions in Gaza and a show of solidarity with the
17:41Palestinian people.
17:42Jig's core is a traditional Jewish memorial service in memory of the deceased, resided on Jom Kippur, the Day of
17:49Atonement.
17:50Organizers have been holding this gathering in Brooklyn every year since 2024, transforming their religious observance into a public act
17:57of mourning, remembrance and political protest.
18:04Jig's core is to engage with these traditions to observe Yom Kippur when the very fabric of the universe is
18:13being shredded by a violent fascist state in the name of Jewish safety.
18:23As Zionism conscripts Judaism into its violent workings, we have no choice but to make our Judaism something that at
18:34its very heart is explicitly, fiercely, concretely supporting Palestinian liberation and liberation for all beings everywhere.
18:44It's Jewish custom to place a stone on the grave of ancestors.
18:50Many of you have a memorial card with the name of a Palestinian killed by Israel in the past three
18:56years.
18:57We invite you this year to place a stone on this card.
19:03It will be a visit to their grave.
19:06You are here to stop the bombs, to stop the funding, to fight against the rampant ethnic cleansing in the
19:13West Bank, to actually end the genocide in Gaza and to fight until there is full liberation for Palestinians.
19:21Period.
19:37In China, tens of thousands of visitors are flocking to a century-old park in Beijing for the 2026 Beijing
19:44Book Fair which opened on September 17th.
19:46Also known as the Temple of Earth Book Fair, the 11-day event brings together more than 400 publishers, cultural
19:53institutions and bookstores with over 500 booths across the park.
19:57This year's fair features an expanded foreign language section, offering around 8,000 titles while discounted prizes are attracting large
20:06crowds.
20:07Visitors can also explore more than 100,000 second-hand and rare books, including centuries-old editions.
20:14A special exhibition is displaying original imperial documents, including records from the Qing dynasty.
20:21Organizers say attendance and sales have exceeded expectations reflecting growing interest in reading and historical literature.
20:28After Beijing, the fair will travel to Baodin and Tianjin.
20:37I picked up three sets of books. They are all series, including some well-known English picture books.
20:43Altogether, they cost less than 300 yuan or about 45 US dollars.
20:49We have worked with two publishing groups to bring costs down by 10-20% and pass those savings on
20:55to readers.
20:56Visitor numbers on the first day were already at weekend levels, and our sales were three times those of the
21:02opening day last year.
21:05I am very interested in ancient books, so this was a great opportunity.
21:09I came especially to see things like a memorial to the throne from the Qing dynasty and an imperial examination
21:15paper.
21:15They are all originals, so it was really something to see.
21:21Well, with this information, we have come to the end of this newsprint, where you can find this and many
21:24other stories on our website at www.tesfulenglish.net.
