00:00The 65th Mercosur Summit is being held in Uruguay, where regional leaders have reached
00:20a trade agreement with the European Union.
00:27In Belarus, President Alexander Lukashenko met with his Russian counterpart in the framework
00:31of the meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union States in Minsk.
00:43Thousands of citizens were killed on Friday morning as a result of the Israeli occupation
00:48forces' shielding of a residential area in Beirut.
01:19Mercosur and the European Union have reached an agreement on the dispute's free trade
01:25deal at the 65th Mercosur Summit, which is underway in the Uruguayan capital of Montevideo.
01:31In this regard, the European Commission announced on Friday the talks of the free trade agreement
01:37have been finalized after more than two decades of negotiations.
01:41The deal now faces a battle for approval in Europe, given French and Italian opposition.
01:46The prospect of the agreement was also met with resistance by farmers from different
01:53European countries, who were negatively affected by it.
01:57For her part, while announcing the decision, European Commission President Ursula von der
02:03Leyen expressed that the deal was a win-win for both the Europe and Mercosur member states.
02:14In Panama City, trade union workers marched on Thursday afternoon to the National Assembly
02:19to urge the lawmakers to repeal the proposed reforms to the social security fund.
02:25Hundreds of protesters marched from the Parque Porras to the National Assembly to oppose
02:30both the privatization of the pension funds and a potential rise in the retirement age.
02:37As a result, nearby businesses, public transport and services faced some disruptions while
02:44the police kept guard along marchers.
02:46However, reports showcased a peaceful rally in which workers stood up for their labor
02:52rights.
02:53I now send a message to a member of the Economic Union about the matter.
03:07We are demanding that lawmakers from the Legislative Assembly reject the draft Bill 163, as the
03:13government is willing to lower pensions.
03:15And we cannot allow so.
03:17Thus, our current proposal.
03:19What we are proposing is a return to the solidarity system.
03:22This means, we do not accept miserable pensions, pensions that will harm the interests of workers
03:28and the Panamanian people.
03:29Let's take a very short break, but remember you can now join us on our TikTok account
03:37Asteles or English, where you'll be able to see news in different formats, news updates
03:40and more.
03:41Stay tuned for more news.
03:43Welcome back to From the South.
03:57The Brazilian Public Prosecutor's Office issued the most recent data on police brutality in
04:02the state of Sao Paulo, evidencing the abuses of the military policy in the region that
04:08has left 712 people dead in the past 11 months.
04:14The figure rises by 54.8%, the number of cases recorded in 2023, when 460 people were killed.
04:22The report also unveiled that 608 of the murders recorded were committed by the police officers
04:30on duty and 104 by duty policemen.
04:33Furthermore, the data reveals an alarming average of two people killed by the police
04:38every day in the state.
04:40In this context, Brazilians have took to the streets of Sao Paulo to demand justice and
04:45pressured the state's government, the state's governor, Tercício de Freitas, an ally of
04:52the far-right former president, Jair Bolsonaro.
05:00This will continue to happen as long as the people having committed all kinds of atrocities
05:05on the dictatorship who had built up this entity keep being the ones in charge.
05:09So they say how it has to be done.
05:15I came to ask for the end of the military police, not of the police itself but of the
05:19institution.
05:20The military police is a cursed legacy of colonization, of the military dictatorship.
05:24The police suffer as well, but they have no one to turn to, they are soldiers.
05:28Then I brought some data that show that even the police want the end of the military police.
05:35In Belarus, President Alexander Lukashenko met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir
05:40Putin on Friday in the framework of the meeting of the Supreme State Council of the Union
05:44State, which is currently underway in the capital Minsk.
05:48The gathering focused on threatening the common defense of the Union State of Russia and Belarus.
05:53In addition, Putin and Lukashenko discussed the implementation of the provisions of the
05:59treaty on the establishment of the Union State for 2024-2026 and the concept of security
06:06in various economic sectors of common interest.
06:09In this regard, Putin stressed the importance of the meeting at the socio-economic and humanitarian
06:15level.
06:16Furthermore, the Russian head of state warned about the interference of Western countries
06:19in European affairs, which contributes to the escalation of tensions in the region especially
06:26pertaining to the Ukrainian conflict.
06:35Leader of South Korea's ruling party, Han Dong-hun, called on Friday for President Jeon
06:41Suk-hyeok to be immediately suspended from his duties.
06:45This follows news that the president ordered the arrest of senior political leaders, including
06:50Han himself, during the martial law he surprisingly declined on Tuesday.
06:55Han said he has confirmed, with credible evidence, that Jeon gave orders to arrest him, the leader
07:03of his own party, Orly Yan Myung-su, the leader of the main opposition Democratic Party, and
07:08said these radical actions that put the country in great danger could be repaired if the president
07:14remains in power.
07:22Last night, it was confirmed through reliable evidence that President Jeon Suk-hyeok instructed
07:29Yo In-hyun, his high school junior and defense counterintelligence commander, to arrest key
07:37political figures and others on the grounds that they were anti-state forces.
07:44On the day, he declared martial law and that the president mobilized an intelligence agency
07:52to arrest political figures.
07:54In this context, the chief of the People's Power Party called for an emergency meeting
07:58of all its lawmakers to discuss the vote to be taken in the parliament session to approve
08:03or not Jeon's impeachment.
08:10Considering the newly emerging facts, I believe that a swift suspension of President Jeon Suk-hyeok's
08:16duties is necessary to safeguard the Republic of Korea and its people.
08:22The Paraguayan government continued pursuing its aggressive policies toward China, such
08:28in the Chinese executive of cyber espionage and expelling a Chinese diplomat from its
08:33national tritory.
08:34Paraguay recognized Taiwan as an independent state, violating the one-China principle.
08:39Subsequently, the Paraguayan executive does not hold diplomatic relations with China.
08:44In this context, the U.S. Embassy in Paraguay and the Ministry of Information and Communications
08:48Technologies of that nation accused China of launching a cyber espionage network to
08:54allegedly infiltrate Paraguayan government system.
08:58Moreover, the authorities suspended a visa to a Chinese diplomat, forcing him to depart
09:04the country in less than 24 hours.
09:06In response, the spokesperson of the Chinese foreign ministry issued some statements.
09:16The allegations and claims made by the corresponding departments of the Paraguayan side against
09:21the relevant members of the Chinese delegation are completely unreasonable and groundless,
09:26and they seriously violate international practices.
09:29China firmly opposes it.

10:13Thousands of citizens were killed on Friday morning as a result of the Israeli occupation
10:29forces shelling off a residential area in the Beirut city near the Camelot Hospital
10:35in northern Gaza.
10:36A large number of people are still missing under the rubble of houses in Beirut as World
10:42Health Organization slammed the attack.
10:45Tel Aviv also bombed schools for displaced people in the town of Jabalia.
10:49The citizens were killed as a result of the shelling by the occupation forces on an old
10:54Rafi school which shelters displaced people in Jabalia city.
10:58Three citizens were killed as a result of the airstrike in Kibred al-Dazs, north of
11:03Rafi city.
11:04Likewise, there are dead and wounded bodies on the streets and no one can reach them,
11:11preventing ambulances and medical teams from approaching the site.
11:17Israel's campaign against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees
11:24in the Near East is standing its reach with the use of hate speech and threats to its
11:30staff.
11:31This was warned in a statement by the main humanitarian actor in Gaza, recognizing the
11:35impact of this pressure against its operations and workers.
11:40The entity denounced the use of billboards in several cities around the world and paid
11:47advertisements of the Google platform on multiple websites, seeking to discredit what is considered
11:54the black bone of the UN in Gaza.
11:57To date, 251 UNWAR employees have been killed in the coastal enclave and two-thirds of its
12:04buildings have been bombed.
12:13The foreign minister of Iran, Abbas Arangchi, will join a meeting in Baghdad with his counterparts
12:19from Syria and Iraq to address the terrorist offensive on Syria.
12:23In this regard, the Iranian ambassador in Iraq underscored that they encounter six higher
12:29levels of coordination and cooperation among the three countries regarding the scope of
12:34the crisis in the Middle Eastern country.
12:37A few days after the resurgence of terrorist groups in Idlib and Aleppo, the Iranian minister
12:42is making a regional tour, the first stopover was Moscow, where he met with Syrian President
12:49Bashar al-Assad, pointing their full support to Syria to fight off terrorism.
12:54Likewise, a foreign minister warned that terrorist groups' overnight offensive on northwest Syria
13:01could pose a more serious security threat to neighboring countries.
13:11The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on Friday that thousands of residents from
13:16the Homs governorate have fled the region overnight toward the western coast, where
13:22the government still keeps control in the advance of terrorist groups.
13:26Precisely, the Hayathari al-Sham HTS arms group has taken over Rastan, an establishment
13:35in the Homs governorate.
13:37The enclave is an important crossroad city to link Damascus to al-Assad and is located
13:4536 kilometers south of Hama, which the groups managed to capture on Thursday, days after
13:51seizing Aleppo from government forces.
13:53In this context, the UN's authorities confirm the terrorist threat has caused the forced
13:58displacement of over 280,000 people in a week, and a warranted number might surge to 1.5 million.
14:07In the Middle East, Israeli warplanes bombed on Friday the Jusyad and al-Arida crossing
14:19on the Syrian-Lebanese border.
14:21The attack was reported by the Lebanese channel Al Mayadeen, which added that so far there
14:26is no information on casualties, however, images that they estimated through social
14:31networks reveal serious infrastructural damage.
14:35Israel has intensified its aggressions against the Middle East country with more than 88
14:40attacks registered in September.
14:43In this context, military sources affirm that terrorist groups launched an offensive more
14:48than a week ago in the Syrian territory, seeks to reach the strategic localities near the
14:53border with the aim of cutting any line of communication and transferring between Syria
14:58and Lebanon.
14:59A Jerusalem district court on Thursday rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
15:09request to limit his mandatory court appearances in his corruption trial twice a week.
15:16The judges ruled that they found no compelling reason to grant the request, forcing him to
15:22testify three times a week.
15:24The first hearing will be held on December 12.
15:27Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribery in three separate
15:33scandals involving favoritism with powerful media moguls and wealthy associates.
15:41Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing.
15:50On December 6, 1998, Hugo Chavez Frias was elected for the first time president of Venezuela
15:58with 56.20% of the votes.
16:00He put an end to the bipartisan exercise by the Acción Democrática and Copay parties
16:07which surrendered the country to neoliberal interests.
16:11On February 2, 1999, Hugo Chavez assumed the presidency of the country with an oath that
16:18marked the beginning of a profound process of changes.
16:22During his sojourning in Venezuela, he expressed the will to promote the necessary democratic
16:27transformation so for the new republic to have a Magna Carta adequate to the news time.
