00:1112 years after the disappearance of 43 Adjustice Napa students the Mexican government released a
00:16new report on the case in a historic victory for Spain's housing moving an 87 year old woman
00:25evicted last week in Madrid will return to her home of 70 years following intense public pressure
00:35and French police have raised 164 teens as high school protests demanding better conditions
00:40intensified across the country hello and from the south I'm Luis Alberto Matos from
00:49de los estudios in Caracas Venezuela we'll begin with the news in Mexico new findings were revealed
01:08from the investigation into the forced disappearance of 43 students from the Raul Isidro Burgos Rural
01:14Teachers College from Adjustice Napa which took place in September 2014 her colleague Antonio
01:19Aranda has the story with a fresh look to identify clues that were not thoroughly investigated at
01:27the time it was established that the owner of a funeral home had contact with members of the
01:34criminal group Guerreros Unidos to possibly use a clandestine crematorium in connection with the
01:40disappearance of the 43 teacher training students from Ayotzinapa in September 2014 in Iguala Guerrero
01:47some students may have been taken to funeral homes with the intent of destroying evidence through
01:55cremation the line of investigation that had been opened years ago regarding funeral homes and
02:02crematoriums was particularly strengthened a very important piece of information for the
02:08investigation is that Rodolfo N and his family own the funeral homes under investigation
02:13in presenting the most recent report on the Ayotzinapa case authorities highlighted the use of three
02:22students cell phones days after their disappearance as a new line of investigation one of the first cases
02:30involves the student Jorge Antonio Tizepan we have seen positive results in this investigation the first
02:38person to emerge in this line of inquiry is moral in a former public servant in Iguala
02:44who according to records used the students phone number between October 23 and 25 2014
02:52that is nearly a month after the students disappearance
02:57they also confirmed that at least 17 of the 43 students from Ayotzinapa were indeed at the Iguala municipal police
03:05station on the night of their disappearance
03:08the reanalysis of Israel Caballero Sanchez's phone reinforces this line of investigation
03:17related to the transfer of some students via what is known as La Barandia de Iguala furthermore there is
03:25other evidence that supports this line of investigation and contradicts the statement made by Jose Ulisse N who
03:32claimed that on the day of the events only six detained individuals had entered this detention center
03:36the Mexican government reiterated that the Ayotzinapa case is not closed 12 years after the events
03:45the Mexican government's commitment is clear to find the young people uncover the truth about what happened
03:56and bring those responsible to justice some of the parents of the 43 missing students acknowledge the
04:03progress made but question why the investigation still failed to answer the main questions well we've said that there has
04:11been progress
04:14but for the mothers and fathers of the 43 we still don't have the answer we're looking for
04:19we still haven't reached that truth we still don't know where our children are or what really happened

06:33the next decade while federal medical research funding has also slowed sharply when we are cutting research
06:39funding particularly for the health of marginalized communities that is only going to serve to further
06:44entrench inequities because it means the communities who most need new interventions new treatments new
06:51prevention programs and health equity efforts are now not going to get those interventions because
06:55the research funding them is falling apart meanwhile you're talking many states the the the price of the
07:01marketplace plans have increased and you already had uh have less people enrolled in them for this
07:09coming year than we had last year and that's on top of people who are losing medicaid this is just

10:072012 elections we are going to commemorate it in the streets remember a downpour hit here on that day
10:16the downpour hit on the fourth
10:21the cordonazzo de san francisco hit the seven main avenues of downtown caracas on the fourth
10:29the streets were filled with people supporting commander chavez
10:33which led to his great electoral victory we will go out to commemorate that date
10:44international concern is growing over possible cases of state crimes in colombia the u.n and
10:50various human rights organizations have called for an immediate investigation into the death of two
10:54young people while in custody or under the action of law enforcement our colleague tatiana portela brings us
11:02the news in less than 48 hours and just two months into abelardo de la espriela's administration
11:11two young people were killed by law enforcement one by the police in southern bogota and another by
11:16the army in santa marta the latter falsely reported as a combat casualty two state crimes that bring back
11:22memories of colombia's darkest era there are some very characteristic features of the new government's
11:28security policy which unfortunately in the past led to truly problematic outcomes
11:36for members of the security forces and for the institution itself which ended up to a large extent
11:43betraying the trust of citizens and i believe that this specific feature involves once again a return
11:51to this body counts policy where we have seen the president not only constantly listing the results
11:57but even going so far as to dehumanize the victims and constantly showcase the bodies through the
12:04media and his social media accounts the killings have been strongly criticized even by the u.n
12:12which called for an investigation into the death of the young man of african descent at the hands of
12:16the police while human rights defenders are drawing attention to extrajudicial executions
12:20this is one of the patterns one of the elements of the macro criminal pattern that for example
12:27the special jurisdiction for peace has identified in cases of false positives or the killings of civilians
12:34it is very concerning that we are returning so to speak to a policy that counts bodies because it has
12:40the
12:40potential to generate these kinds of effects to end up so to speak legitimizing within the security forces a whole
12:48series of
12:48criminal mechanisms to report combat casualties in the face of pressure from the highest levels of
12:54government we are concerned that something like this will happen again according to analysts this
13:01internal enemy doctrine has intensified since abelardo de la espriela took office as president this escalation
13:07has been driven not only by his bellicose rhetoric but also by his symbolic gestures from posing while
13:13walking among corpses to publicly carrying firearms so in this regard it is very concerning that the
13:21president continues to do this in fact yesterday in his presidential address he stated that he would
13:26continue to carry a weapon it is a bellicose message that is worrisome because we are also seeing a
13:32debate about the carrying of weapons that could cause great harm to the public a debate that is being
13:37promoted by the president through his own practice of carrying a weapon with these cases of possible false
13:42positives that have arisen it also blurs any criticism or questioning that the security forces might
13:47face regarding the operations carried out in different areas of the country this also significantly
13:53undermines the military's actions and the legitimacy it should rightfully have among the colombian public
14:01just four days after these state-sponsored crimes a new case was reported this time in la macarena
14:06meta where farmer louis mojica was killed by military forces during an operation
14:13the resurgence of this policy already has a troubling historical precedent
14:17according to the peace and reconciliation foundation more than 72 000 people have been killed
14:23disappeared or persecuted by those who were supposed to protect them
