00:00And as the first day of general debates at the 81st United Nations General Assembly nears its end,
00:06we are now going to contact our correspondent in the city, Jorge Gestoso.
00:12He is there and he has all the latest information that come at this hour from the city.
00:32Well, there is a big night here in the center of Manhattan.
00:38It has been a reception organized by the General Assembly precisely to celebrate Donald Trump's development.
00:55And by around 10 minutes to 8, means about 50 minutes ago,
01:03it was supposed to be a meeting with the acting president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez.
01:09It was very much close.
01:12The information so far, we cannot confirm details of that encounter.
01:19That was going to be the first time that the two leaders were going to meet in person.
01:26It has been an incredible display of security here.
01:30All of the surroundings of the Hotel Lotto in Madison Avenue has been closed fencing by the police and the
01:40secret service.
01:41But a fantastic display of security.
01:45We can hear sirens and so on and so forth.
01:49So, basically, it was the end of a day in which we were having very important leaders
01:58that took the General Assembly in the first date of the debate.
02:03We were talking about Lula.
02:06We were talking about President Trump.
02:08At the very beginning, the Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, also was talking.
02:14And on the other hand, it has been also a meeting of the Shield of the Americas,
02:21El Escudo de las Americas, a group that has been created by Washington
02:28to organize the leaders of some countries in Latin America.
02:34Most of them led by very ultra-conservative presidents, such as Millet, caste.
02:44In the case of Peru, Keiko Fujimori.
02:47In the case of Bolivia Pass, in the case of other countries like El Salvador, etc., etc.
02:57They were all meeting together in the afternoon with President Trump and the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
03:05So, basically, a lot of denunciations here that, even by the Secretary General of the UN that is retiring,
03:16is ending his period by the end of the year, Antonio Guterres,
03:21that is an institution that needs to be reformed in a very, very big way
03:28because of the inefficiency and because of that offensive of certain countries of the world
03:35not to respect the international law, not to respect human rights,
03:40not to respect what is called the regular rights in the whole sense.
03:46So, there's a lot of reorganizations, denunciations, and the most important thing is to see if this meeting
03:57between the acting president, Delsi Rodriguez, and President Trump has been taking place
04:03and how was the encounter to place and if there was some conclusions or details about it.
04:12So, mostly, his President Trump agenda is from here.
04:19He goes straight to the airport.
04:21From the airport, he's going to Washington, D.C., to the White House,
04:25and by Thursday, he's going to meet with the President Xi Jinping of China.
04:31We'll get back to you as soon as we go in more details throughout the morning tomorrow.
04:38Thank you. Thank you very much, Estoso,
04:40for your insight in this first day of debates at the United Nations General Assembly.
04:45We're going to keep in contact with him and with you.
04:50And now we're going to take a short break.
