00:50Hello and welcome from the south, I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters in Caracas,
00:55Venezuela.
00:56Now we'll be with the news, stay with us.
01:14The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, ratified his support to the Colombian government
01:18in the face of the violent unleash in Catatumbo, during the commemoration of the 67th anniversary
01:23of the popular rebellion of January the 23rd, 1958, the Venezuelan head of state highlighted
01:30work of the interior minister of justice and peace, Estado Cabello, due to the conflict
01:35between the armed groups unleashed in Catatumbo.
01:38In this context, he reiterated all the dispositions of the Venezuelan government to build together
01:44with Colombia a region of peace and union in Bolivar.
01:54And starting just on January 22nd, Diosdado was there in Catatumbo, on the Venezuelan
02:00side, because later they tried to manipulate the information, and that Diosdado had invaded
02:06Colombia.
02:07No, no, no, no, no, we love Colombia, we respect it, and we support it in its struggle
02:15for peace, and President Petro knows it, the Colombian society knows it.
02:23That from Venezuela it will always have our integral support, for peace, to build Colombia
02:28and Venezuela a region of peace, of prosperity, of union in Bolivar.
02:38On Thursday, a large donation from the French workers arrived in Havana for the hospitals
02:43in Cuba.
02:44Medicines and health supplies were sent by the General Confederation of Workers of France.
02:48This yesterday is the workers' response to the infamous decision of the United States
02:53governments and other signs of respect for the enormous resistance of the Cuban people.
02:59Helena Fontana Valdez, Director of the Women's Solidarity Hospital, one of the centers have
03:06been sent in from the donation, assuring that it will be of significant value and will make
03:13it possible to provide better attention to the Cuban people.
03:22Although it so warmly welcomed the international solidarity of global workers, as it comes
03:27at this time when that brutal, genocidal government is trying to smother us economically in order
03:31to break us as a result of its smothering policy for our country.
03:35Meanwhile, the representative of the General Confederation of Labor of France, Sebastián
03:42Avizcuso, confirmed that the Cuban people will not be left alone.
03:49We are here, we are not going to move away from the Cuban people.
03:53We are willing the Cuban people can choose their system, their politics, and that no
03:57one messes with Cuba.
04:05In Colombia, at least five people were injured by a motorbike loaded with explosives in a
04:11military base in Cauca.
04:13The attack coincides with clashes in the area and in the context of the armed conflicts
04:16that is taking place in the South American country.
04:19According to the army, since October 2024, 500 explosives have been destroyed and 12
04:24members of these structures have been captured or subdued.
04:28However, the attacks are perceived to have generated concern for the safety of the civilian
04:33population.
05:02It is a great honor for me, as commander of the army, to receive you here in the canton
05:07of our Brigade 30.
05:09In Cucuta, you have been deployed from where you were in the 4th Division precisely to
05:13attend to a special situation that has been occurring in this department.
05:23What is the situation about?
05:25There is a confrontation between organized armed groups in this area of the 33rd Degree
05:31and the Northeastern War Front of the ELN.
05:34These structures, until a few days ago, did not have any problems.
05:38They were in the same areas, they shared the territory, and also shared their illegal finances.
05:44But they entered into a confrontation precisely because of what these armed structures are
05:48fighting for, for illicit economies.
06:06Moving on, in Thailand's capital, Bangkok, the number of school forces to close due to
06:11severe air pollution rose to more than 350, the highest number in five years.
06:17By Friday morning, 352 of the 437 schools under Bangkok's metropolitan administration
06:25had closed their doors, affecting thousands of students.
06:28The Thai capital is the 7th most populated major city in the world according to the Earth
06:35Quality Technology Campaign, IQAIR.
06:38Air pollution is seasonal in the Saudi Asian nation, as cold air does stagnate in winter.
06:44The air decombines with smoke from the winter corpses of wolves and current fumes.
06:57Let's take a very short break, but remember you can join us on our Tiktok account at Celestino
07:01English, where you'll be able to see news in different formats, news updates and more.
07:04Stay tuned for more news.
07:15Welcome back to From the South.
07:29In Mexico, protesters broke out in Quilican, Sinaloa after the death of two children and
07:35their father in a car and a religious shooting.
07:38The boys, aged 9 and 12, were killed along with their father when they were caught in
07:43a crossfire during an attempt in links to a factional infighting within the Sinaloa
07:49cartel.
07:50Dozens of demonstrators marched from boys' schools to local government offices demanding
07:55justice and an end to the escalated violence that has gripped the city.
07:59We want to be able to go out at any time and be calm, without fear, to be able to go to
08:09school without fear, in peace.
08:11The authorities and the unions, who are supposed to protect the workers, the families and everyone
08:17else, should join us.
08:18They should not be afraid.
08:20We will continue to work.
08:21But please don't hurt the children.
08:24Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum reports on the installation of care centers, which
08:31are carried out within the framework of the Mexican plan.
08:38The attention centers are going well.
08:40I was informed at the security meeting that there are two that are finishing setting up
08:43tonight.
08:45And the others will be ready by Saturday, probably by the end of the week, so everyone
08:50will have this information.
08:54The Mexican President also thanked the Business Coordinating Council for creating through
08:585,000 jobs for Mexicans who are deported from the U.S.
09:05I even remind you that we thank them because they are the ones who are doing the work.
09:11I even remind you that we thank them because they are offering about 35,000 job vacancies
09:17at this moment for Mexicans who could be deported from the United States and who will be received
09:21in the centers of attention.
09:26Mexicans and migrants contribute at least 10% of the U.S. gross domestic product, equivalent
09:31to $2 trillion.
09:32They also made the growing demands of the U.S. labor market.
09:36Let's take a closer look with our correspondent Antonio Aranda.
09:43Various academic studies confirm that migration has economic benefits for the countries that
09:48host these people.
09:53Ariane is a migrant.
09:54She has been living in Mexico for four months.
09:57She works in a creamery and earns $100 a week.
10:00Half of that money stays in the local economy.
10:03The rest she sends to her family.
10:07We work to subsist ourselves and also to send money to our families.
10:18In the different countries, depending on the immigrant, the contribution is really significant.
10:22We are talking about having a contribution in the economy of the country.
10:25We really try to be helpful, compliant, responsible to comply 100%.
10:31A report by the International Organization for Migration indicates that migrants contribute
10:36to increasing the productivity of the receiving country, whether they are skilled or unskilled
10:41labor.
10:44We work from 7 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, and we are always sending money,
10:48all the time, weekly, biweekly, monthly, but we are always sending.
10:53The migrants that are here we try to save the money to be able to sustain and pay rent
10:57and pay for everything we need to pay.
11:04In the case of the United States, the value of goods and services from the Latin community
11:09amounts to $3.6 trillion.
11:12Highlights a report presented at the morning conference of President Claudia Sheinbaum.
11:21If Latinos in the United States were a single economy, they would be the fifth largest economy
11:26in the world.
11:27They would be smaller than the United States as a whole, China, Japan and Germany.
11:33Latinos in the United States would be second only to those five countries.
11:4412 million Mexican migrants live in the United States, and last year, they sent $65 billion
11:50in remittances, highlighted President Sheinbaum.
11:57Mexicans in the United States contribute to the national economy with remittances that
12:01represent their love for their family, their love for their country, and we thank them
12:05and call them heroes and heroines.
12:11But also Mexicans contribute to the economy of the United States.
12:20Due to economic integration, mass deportations of migrants in the United States could cause
12:25an increase in the inflation rate, explains this specialist.
12:32Let's assume that they do put in the natives, then of course prices go up and the services
12:36that the Latinos, the Mexicans, the undocumented are doing.
12:45All those kinds of things that are actually below the price of the cost that is paid and
12:49that they consume less, but produce a lot.
12:52There is a lower level of inflation at the moment that there is no clear inflation that
12:55can go up.
13:01In the United States, the arrival of migrants of productive age helps to mitigate the lack
13:06of native labor caused by the aging of the population.

14:06Palestinian authorities denounce Yeniseir al-Israeli forces are allying complete siege to Yenin
14:12city.
14:13Deputy Governor of Yenin, Mansour Saadi, claimed that the occupying forces have cordoned off
14:20the foreign main entrance to the city and the refugee camp.
14:24The authority detailed that huge bombs prevent civilian residents from entering or leaving
14:29the area.
14:30Saadi further specified that the siege includes airstrikes and ground incursions that have
14:36already left 12,000 numerous wounded.
14:39The deputy governor noted that Israeli forces have burned several homes.
14:44The official asserted that the situation is even worse, not only due to the precarious
14:50conditions of the governmental hospital, but also due to the Israeli regime that has cut
14:55water and electricity in addition to limiting the entry of fuel.
15:00Georgia joins the list of foreign malaria-free countries this Friday, according to the World
15:12Health Organization, which considered this shiftment a historic milestone.
15:17The director of the organization, Tedros Adhanom, has congratulated the government and the Georgian
15:22people, recognizing decades of sustained and specified actions that contribute to eliminate
15:27the disease, considered one of the diseases that has caused the most deaths in the world.
15:32For his part, the Georgian Minister of Health, Mihaela Sarjavallis, assured that certification
15:40is a recognition to the sustainability of the health system.
15:58The Children of the World Museum, now as inaugurated in Kosovo, plays a key role in commemorating
16:04the fear left by the conflict between 1998 and 1999.
16:07The new gallery, which is located in Pristina, the capital of that territory, has a large
16:12number of objects from children who lived during that time, such as toys, letters, videos
16:17and photographs which describe the fight, the hiding and the fear during the armed conflict
16:22of those years.
16:23The museum director stressed that it is open and aims to educate visitors about the harmless
16:28reality of children in the world and the martyr lives for later years, in addition to filling
16:34in information gaps surrounding the situation.
16:36The director also noted that the exhibition and narrative seeks to be a platform for visibility
16:42and a collective memory of the victims.
16:44The purpose is to educate the audience as well because we see that the education system
16:56in Kosovo lacks comprehensive education when it comes to war and other fields as well,
17:03but at the same time to create this platform that people who experienced war can come and
17:13feel seen and accepted and can grieve the losses that they encountered during their
17:21experience as well.
17:26It's a very strong emotion to see this 25 years ago and even more when I think that
17:32many people in Kosovo will see this and this will be an important conversation we should
17:38go through.
17:39This is a collective trauma of war that the more we talk, the better it is.
17:44So I'm really grateful to the organizers that brought this amazing exhibition together with
17:50not only drawings but many objects and I see it brings you back and each of us can interpret
17:57in their way.
17:58Aleksandr Znigod, a Soviet worker from Government of Belarus, is a symbol of Soviet internationalism
18:05and the liberation movements in Latin America.
18:08I'd like to see things with more details.
18:13In the Belarusian city of Gomel lives a very special person who became a protagonist of
18:18the movement of Soviet solidarity with Latin America.
18:22Aleksandr Znigod, whose collection is really impressive and very valuable for the historical
18:27memory of the Soviet and Latin American people.
18:30If there was racism and capitalism, in the Soviet Union there was anti-racism, friendship
18:37between peoples and the Soviet youth was educated with this, with the ideas of internationalism,
18:43friendship between peoples, different races and different nationalities.
18:47And that is why the Soviet youth was not indifferent to the tragedies, to the injustices that
18:52occurred in some distant countries.
18:55He is one of the founders of the movement of solidarity with Latin America in the Soviet
19:00Union in the 1970s and 1980s, participated in the activities of international brigades,
19:06doing voluntary work in the USSR itself to collect resources to support the struggle
19:11of the Latin American peoples.
19:13At the same time, he was in charge of the popularization in the Soviet Union.
19:19Aleksandr Znigod popularized Latin America, he spoke of what cannot be sold, of what does
19:23not cost money, but of solidarity with the people who fought and continue to fight now
19:27for a new world, against globalism, against imperialism, for human dignity, for the independence
19:32of the peoples of all continents.
19:34Aleksandr Znigod, who was the founder of the movement of solidarity with Latin America,
19:38is one of the founders of the movement of solidarity with the Soviet Union in the 1970s
19:43and 1980s.
19:45The Soviet Union was an alternative to savage and unjust capitalism and proposed to build
19:50a more humane and just society.
19:52This was represented in the practice of the internationalist brigades organized by its
19:57own citizens.
19:58The common Soviet citizen could not remain indifferent to the pains and struggles of
20:03the peoples of the Soviet Union.
20:05The Soviet Union was an alternative to savage and unjust capitalism and proposed to build
20:10a more humane and just society.
20:12Aleksandr Znigod, who was the founder of the movement of solidarity with the Soviet
20:17Union in the 1970s and 1980s, is one of the founders of the movement of solidarity with
20:22the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s.
20:26The Soviet Union was an alternative to savage and unjust capitalism and proposed to build
20:31a more humane and just society.
20:33The Soviet Union was an alternative to savage and unjust capitalism and proposed to build
20:38thanks to the joint efforts of mankind. And the most important thing is the attitude of
20:42friendship and solidarity with people of different races and different cultures.
20:54The Soviet movement showed solidarity with the peoples of Latin America,
20:59and this is not a past stage. This is something that shows itself in a new way,
21:05and something that, of course, will be reborn in one form or another, something that will not only
21:10be remembered, but will be very important. And these connections will only get stronger and stronger.
21:23Thousands of people in Belarus and Russia continue to preserve the ethics inherited
21:28from the Soviet era, and in their daily lives they defend the best values of humanity.
21:33Because it is never too much to remember the words of Ernesto Che Guevara,
21:37that solidarity is the tenderness of peoples.
