00:00In Venezuela, the first group of migrants from the United States arrived on Monday night
00:16as part of the restart of the Back to the Homeland plan.
00:24U.S. President Donald Trump has again threatened to unleash hell on the gas strip if Hamas
00:30doesn't now resume the release of Israeli hostages by Friday 15.
00:41And the Russian Defense Ministry reported its force took out of operations the gas and
00:47energy complex used by Kiev for military activities.
01:13In Venezuela, the first group of migrants from the United States arrived on Monday night
01:17as part of the restart of the Back to the Homeland plan.
01:20Earlier on today, the authorities announced the resumption of the Cambias airline flights
01:26from the U.S. under the Back to the Homeland plan, with the aim of returning nationals
01:30who have been victims of the coyote's criminal networks of human traffickers led by the far
01:37right extremists.
01:38The government will use national airplanes to bring back Venezuelans from the U.S. to
01:44take care of their dignity and human rights.
01:47Likewise, those accused by the U.S. government of being a member of criminal gangs will be
01:53subjected to a rigorous investigation.
02:04But we have some hot breaking news, no, no, no, don't give me that fanfare.
02:11We are connected at this moment with the international airport of Maiketia, here live and direct
02:18from the show Con Maduro Mas, because today, Monday 10th of February, 10th of February
02:26The two planes with our migrants are arriving from Texas, United States of America.
02:40The first plane of the Venezuelan flagship airline, Cambiasa, has just landed to bring
02:45this first group returning to Venezuela in a safe, loving and dignified manner, and resuming
02:53the plan back to the homeland.
02:56The plan to reunite the Venezuelan family in the new stage.
03:03Ecuador will return to the polls on April the 13th to elect the country's president
03:21after neither of the two most voted candidates, Luisa González and Daniel Navoa, obtained
03:27a difference of a whole plus one of the valid votes, nor the 4% with difference of 10 points
03:34over a second.
03:36Let's see more details.
03:42After a long election day, Ecuador is preparing for a second round of elections to be held
03:46on April 13th.
03:48Just after the National Electoral Council confirmed on February 9th that the candidates
03:51with the highest scores, Luisa González and Daniel Navoa, did not obtain 40% with a difference
03:57of 10 points over the second to win in the first round.
04:03For Pablo Meriget, political analyst, the results reflect the urgency of a change of
04:07mandate in the country.
04:08Otherwise, he indicates, the margin of difference in the tally tallies, which present less than
04:13one point of difference, should be greater.
04:19I believe this is a result that few people expected.
04:22That is to say, such a radical polarization, a very strong polarization was expected.
04:27But it was not expected that both positions would agglutinate almost 88, 89% of the votes.
04:33Nobody saw that coming.
04:34In fact, now it is almost vis-a-vis the two.
04:37In fact, there is less than a percentage point difference in the valid votes, and that showed
04:41that something has changed in the Ecuador.
04:45But what are the problems that the new command will face?
04:51What changes should it implement?
04:53For citizens, one of the main problems that requires urgent attention is the security
04:57crisis, which, according to figures from the national police, violent deaths in January
05:02reached 750 cases.
05:03It is also important to note that, according to figures from the Ministry of the Interior,
05:07between January and December 15, 2024, an average of 19 people were murdered every day.
05:20The Ecuadoran people must realize that we definitely have to look for economic development
05:25and educational preparation.
05:27In short, because it is so ugly that people have to speak badly of Ecuador abroad.
05:36And Ecuador had a very specific name worldwide, because we were doing well, and now we have
05:46to hide in fear.
05:47What a shame.
05:53The energy crisis is another of the main points to be faced, because this crisis has resulted
05:58in economic losses.
06:00For example, according to the productive sector, power outages generate around $4 billion in
06:05losses per month, while in the industrial sector alone, an estimated $20 million are
06:10lost every night of blackout.
06:16The new government would have to face many issues, such as insecurity, everything.
06:20The country is in pieces.
06:25The country needs a true leader to take the country forward.
06:34Elections remain expected for the elections on April 13, when Ecuador will elect the president
06:39for a period of four years, that is, until 2029.
06:45The Guatemalan Mayan Collective has denounced the irresponsibility of industries with solid
06:52waste collected from the bottom of Lake Aditlán with the support of more than 50 divers.
07:03More than 50 internationally renowned divers changed their mission of rescuing lives to
07:07face a new challenge, collecting solid waste at the bottom of Lake Aditlán, in the department
07:12of Solola.
07:15Today we are in this activity because we know that we also have to contribute to nature
07:19so, I repeat, these are people who come today to donate their time.
07:24It is an initiative of the Tazanaya Collective from San Pedro La Laguna, Solola, which for
07:30more than a decade has fought against contamination, aimed at healing and rescuing Lake Aditlán.
07:39There is environmental racism here because we, the indigenous women, the indigenous communities,
07:44end up picking up the waste.
07:46We end up depositing this garbage that the big industries have generated.
07:55The leaders' words are translated into numbers.
07:58The divers collected more than 1,500 pounds of waste, washed in by the rains from communities
08:03that do not have waste treatment plants.
08:09We found a lot of non-recyclable material, iron, ferrous and many tires, so that occupies
08:13a large amount of volume in hard plastic, pipes, elbows.
08:21The sorting of this waste reflects the negative externalities of industries that do not
08:27calculate the harmful impacts of their products and packaging, suggests one of the villagers.
08:34Everyone calculates their profits, calculates their labor, calculates their raw materials,
08:40everything is calculated, but what they don't calculate is their solid waste.
08:47On February 11, 2025, Government Agreement 164-2021 comes into effect, which requires
08:56the classification of solid waste at the national level, a practice that San Pedro
09:00Laguna implemented since 2016.
09:03Santiago Botón, Telesur, Guatemala.
09:05Let's take our very first break, and we'll be right back, stay with us.
09:26Welcome back to From the South.
09:34For the third week in a row, the U.S. reports another deadly plane crash.
09:39The collision of two commercial airlines in southwestern Arizona leaves one person dead
09:46and four injured.
09:48The accident occurred after an aircraft attacked in Tulona at Scottsdale Airport collided with
09:55another aircraft on runway 21.
09:59One of the planes involved in the accident belongs to the Vince Neal's Singers of the
10:06Hard Rock band Motley Crue, who was not on the aircraft.
10:11The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration announced that it will open an investigation to determine
10:16the cause of the accident.
10:25Republicans against the Mexican government request to add calmly in the face of the announcement
10:29by U.S. President Donald Trump to impose tariffs now on steel.
10:34Our correspondent Daniel Rosas with the details.
10:40Calm in the face of the White House measures.
10:42This is the strategy to be followed by the Mexican government for the time being.
10:48We found out the same from yesterday's publication in the media.
10:51Well, let's wait.
10:53It is, as I say, calm on this.
10:54Let's wait to see if he announces something today.
10:57And from there, we will take our definitions.
11:03Mexican media echoed Trump's announcement as he furloughed on Sunday.
11:07Today, simplifying our tariffs on steel and aluminum so that everyone can understand exactly
11:13what it means.
11:14It's 25 percent without exceptions or exemptions.
11:18And that's all countries, no matter where it comes from, all countries.
11:22It made in the United States, however, United States of America.
11:26There is no tariff, zero.
11:29So if it's made in the United States, there is no tariff.
11:33All you have to do is make it in the United States.
11:35We don't need it from another country.
11:37The Nuevo Laredo Customs Brokers Association, responsible for 80 percent of North American
11:45trade treaty transactions, has called for unity in the face of the U.S. president's
11:49onslaught.
11:51The imposition of tariffs will affect Trump's allies and voters.
11:55In addition, the T-MEC, which he himself negotiated, will be revised in 2026.
12:00And that is where Mexico should focus its strategies because the relocation of companies
12:04continues to be a competitive advantage for Mexico.
12:09The recent announcements made by the U.S. president could be part of a strategy known
12:13as flooding the zone.
12:15That is, bombarding with information to alter the reaction of the counterpart, explains
12:19this analyst.
12:23What is the problem?
12:24We don't know which of these statements will be taken seriously or which ones will
12:27be followed up.
12:28It is not so much that it is just a strategy and should be dismissed.
12:32But the problem of this strategy of filling and stuffing with information, we don't
12:35know which one is true.
12:38Mexican strategy may therefore be correct, he adds.
12:46I think Claudia Scheinbaum's strategy is very good.
12:49In terms of a cool head, in terms of knowing strategically what needs to be done step-by-step.
12:58Mexico is the third country from which the United States buys the most steel, after Canada
13:03and Brazil, with 12.2 percent of the annual total, according to data from the American
13:08Iron and Steel Institute.
13:14As the trade war escalates, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warns the U.S.
13:21that the Commission will respond to President Trump's tariff with firm and proportionate
13:27concerted measures.
13:29Von der Leyen accused the White House of imposing unjustified measures on the bloc and warned
13:35that they will not go unchallenged.
13:38The Commission President also said tariffs are bad for business and worse for consumers,
13:45so they will act to protect the economic interests of their businesses, their workers and their
13:51consumers.
14:08Moving on, the Palestinian Resistance Movement, Hamas, postponed the release of Israeli detainees
14:19scheduled for the next Friday the 15th due to non-compliance with the terms of the ceasefire
14:24by Israel.
14:25The spokesmen of the movement declared that the delivery of the detainees was postponed
14:31until the Zionist forces assumed their commitments and compensated for the damage caused recently.
14:37Among violations committed by Israel, the spokesman highlighted the delay in allowing
14:42the entry of Gazans north of the coastal enclave.
14:45None of the problems with the delivery of humanitarian aid meanwhile, delegations from
14:50both sides and mediating countries are in Qatar to begin official negotiations over
14:55a second phase of the agreement and a definitive ceasefire.
14:59U.S. President Donald Trump has again threatened to unleash hell on the Gaza Strip if Hamas
15:13does not resume the release of Israeli hostages by February the 15th.
15:17The president said that if Hamas does not resume the change of hostages for Palestinian
15:22prisoners by Saturday, all hell will break loose on the resistance movement in the Gaza
15:29Strip.
15:30Trump said if the movement does not comply with the release of the hostages, he will
15:35tell Israel to cancel the agreement and to do what he deems necessary without ruling
15:41out a possible U.S. involvement in the response to Hamas.
15:49Let's take our last break, but we'll be right back, don't go away.
16:13Welcome back.
16:14The Russian Defense Ministry reported that its forces took out of the Operation Degasa,
16:19an energy complex used by Kiev for military operations.
16:23Among targets hid were the Montreux field and warehouses where drones are equipped and
16:30prepared.
16:31The operation was carried out using long-range precision weapons.
16:36The Defense Ministry added that U.S. provided support during the military action.
16:43On the Ukrainian side, Energy Minister German Galushenko confirmed that a Poltava oil and
16:50gas plant was damaged.
16:52Galushenko would report several areas without gas supplied and no fatalities.
17:00UK farmers blocked streets with tractors around the nation's parliament in London to put pressure
17:12on Labour governments to reserve removal of inherent tax exemptions.
17:19During the demonstration, the farmers created banners with the phrase such as the word on
17:25farmers and United Kingdom flags.
17:28Opposition leaders joined the demonstration against the tax, which will come into effect
17:33next year.
17:34The administration of Prime Minister Kirstein Hartmann had announced that in order to find
17:40new vital income, some farmers will no longer be exempted from the inherent tax.
17:47For their part, farmers claim that peaceful protests will help to bring about a needed
17:53change for the citizens.
17:55I don't want to see policy decisions mean that we have to sell our farm, which we care
18:03very deeply about, not just for financial reasons but also for it's part of who we are.
18:09Because the government's making a massive mistake that they will later come to regret
18:12when they realise the consequences of their decisions.
18:14So we don't want to let things get to that stage.
18:16We want to show them that we know what the impact of their policies is going to be because
18:20they're going to be impacting us.
18:21And we want them to listen because so far they're not listening.
18:24They're stubbornly refusing to listen to the people their policy is going to affect.
18:28We have a voice, a loud voice.
18:30And I think the government are very clear they've woken a sleeping giant.
18:35We have to keep the pressure up.
18:37And that's what you're all doing here today.
18:40And if the government thinks we'll go away, they don't understand you, they don't understand
18:44farming and they don't understand farmers.
18:50On the other hand, farmers and ranchers in France are mobilising to show their concern
18:56about the European Union's agreement with Mercosur to fall in prices or the increase
19:02in production costs.
19:04Most European farmers say they will face unfair competition from their less-regulated
19:10Latin American peers.
19:12They also insist that their conditions have worsened in the last year and warn that if
19:18there is no change, protests could intensify in the coming weeks.
19:28The public authorities don't help us, the politicians don't help us, and our bosses
19:33don't listen to us either.
19:35That's why, after a while, we all joined the Union together, because at some point we want
19:40to be heard and raise our real problems.
19:46In Malaysia, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met with Malaysian Prime Minister
19:52Erdogan as part of his three-nation Tour of Asia.
19:55During the meeting at the Putrayat International Convention Centre, Erdogan was condecorated
20:03with an honorary doctorate.
20:06During the ceremony, Prime Minister Erdogan praised Erdogan's leadership and expressed
20:11gratitude for his support during times of political adversity, describing him as a true
20:17friend.
20:18Erdogan reaffirmed Turkey's commitment to strengthening bilateral ties and cooperation
20:22with Malaysia, describing the country as a key strategic partner.
20:26The two leaders are expected to hold high-level talks to boost bilateral ties across all sectors
20:32and discuss the situation in Gaza.
