00:14Revolution Party candidate Risa González is leading the presidential race.
00:23As part of the strengthening of bilateral relations between the two nations, Chinese
00:27Prime Minister Wang Yi met with Russian President Vladimir Putin after his meeting with his
00:32Russian counterpart.
00:38And thousands of displaced Palestinians continue to leave Rafah following the evacuation order
00:42issued by the Israeli Occupation Army.
00:53Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters
00:57in Caracas, Venezuela.
00:59We begin with the news, stay with us.
01:17In Ecuador, ahead of April 3rd's in-run-off elections, recent polls reveal Citizens'
01:21Revolution Party candidate Risa González is leading the presidential race.
01:26In this way, two surveillance trials by the country's National Electoral Council show
01:32a lead for González in front of presidential candidate and president Daniel Novoa.
01:40Precisely, a negocios and estrategias poll of some 3,000 voters conducted between March
01:49the 24th and March the 26th showed on Monday that at 51.4% of voting intention for González.
01:57In addition, she was also leading a poll by the Perro Can Gold that surveyed over 5,400
02:06Ecuadorians which showed a 51.9% voting intention compared to Novoa's 48.1%.
02:16It is worth recalling that President Novoa won by a narrow margin of less than 1% of
02:21votes on Friday's first run-off elections, a difference which triggered the upcoming
02:28run-off electoral process.
02:37Argentine Foreign Minister Gerardo Huertin met U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on
02:42Tuesday to initiate a trade deal between the two nations, despite U.S. President Donald
02:48Trump's plans to impose a sweep tariff on Argentina as on April 2nd.
02:53Therefore, the minister is trying to negotiate with Washington to dodge the taxes.
03:00Argentina produced $13 to $16 billion worth of grain, lithium and energy since Trump took
03:06office in January.
03:07The military government has been strengthening their allied strategic alliances.
03:13In this context, the senior diplomat met not only with Rubio but also U.S. Trade Representative
03:18Jamie Sonier-Greer to boost the bilateral trade and seal a soil trade deal.
03:32In the United States, a high percentage of mixed-race families partake in underdaily
03:37life in the face of President Trump's deportation policy.
03:42A report by the Urban Institute revealed that mixed families do not want to draw attention.
03:48According to the study, 16% of families with some kind of immigrant experience feared,
03:55which increased to 26% among those who have someone with a green card, and 60% among mixed
04:03families.
04:04President Trump pries to make the largest deportation in history, focusing on irregular
04:10migrants with a criminal record.
04:11However, this urge is growing that any migrant could be subject to the administration's
04:16aggressive measures.
04:20Meanwhile, the Trump administration acknowledged in a court of filling that it had granted
04:30a Maryland father with a legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador.
04:37But in that U.S. court, lacks a jurisdiction to order his return from the mega-prison where
04:43he is now locked up.
04:45This marks the first time the Trump administration admitted errors when it sends three plunder
04:50loans of Salvadorans on a Venezuelan deportees to a Salvador's infamous terrorism confinement
04:56center.
05:05In Haiti, Kenyan foreign forces sustained casualties after clashes with armed groups
05:10in the country.
05:11The International Police and Military Force reported that two police officers were assaulted,
05:17where one another is missing.
05:20The Multinational Security Supermission has over a thousand security personnel with the
05:25mission of restoring adequate security for the country to hold elections by February
05:312026.
05:32The Kenyan government has cited humanitarian reasons for its intervention in Haiti, while
05:38the department is also said to be motivated by a desire to boost the country's international
05:45profile and curry favor with the United States.
06:07In Thailand, rescue work continues for a fourth consecutive day in a collapsed building in
06:13Bangkok after the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit its epicenter in Myanmar last Friday.
06:19Authorities on Tuesday raised the death toll to 20 while they are still searching for more
06:25than 70 workers who were trapped where a building under construction collapsed on top of them.
06:34According to the latest official death toll, some 34 people suffered injuries of burns
06:41and severity during the earthquake in Bangkok, where two citizens who were in their respective
06:48apartments also lost their lives.
06:51On the 30th floor of the building that collapsed, the death toll stands at 13, with the last
06:57victim reported on Monday night.
07:04In Myanmar, rescue efforts are being hampered on Tuesday by the risk of landslides and aftershocks
07:12in parts of Burma worst affected by Friday's powerful earthquake.
07:16Some rescue operations in Mandalay, the country's second city and one of the places most affected
07:24by the 7.7 magnitude earthquake, located about 17 kilometers from the epicenter, had to be
07:30suspended on Tuesday.
07:31In order to find survivors in hard-hit areas of the city, including the Sky Villa condominium,
07:38the Great Wall Hotel and the U Hulatind Monastery had to be temporarily halted due to the risk
07:45of landslides and the impact of aftershocks, despite hundreds of people missing at the
07:52site.
07:53The death toll in the country after the earthquake reached 2,253 this Monday.
08:01In Iceland, the town of Grindavik and the nearby Blue Lagoon trees attractions were
08:11evacuated after the area was hit by another volcanic eruption.
08:16The eruption is the 11th since 2021, when the Reykjanes Peninsula started its new eruption
08:24period.
08:26The Icelandic Meteorological Office said an earthquake storm started at 6.30 local time
08:32in the Sundsdukrud crater crowd, in a similar place to previous eruptions.
08:39The orange-red featured expelling lava and smoke quickly spread southward and by 10 a.m.
08:48local time, it had already reached through the defense walls north of Grindavik.
08:56The fishing town has been largely uninhabited since November 10, 2023, when an eruption
09:04resulted in the town cracking open with fissures reaching a depth of 20 meters.
09:25Welcome back to From the South.
09:32During her daily press conference, the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, reminded five
09:37principals that have ruled her country by electoral relations with the United States.
09:42These are ahead of Trump's administration's upcoming tariff to be announced on Wednesday.
09:46They have a responsibility, and we have a responsibility.
09:55For example, what the Secretary of the Treasury released yesterday is information that comes
10:00from the national coordination.
10:06Shared responsibility, mutual trust, they have to have confidence in us, and we in them
10:12in this coordination.
10:16Respect for sovereignty, cooperation without subordination, respect for Mexico and Mexicans.
10:25Those are our five principles with which we work with the U.S. government and in particular
10:30on security issues.
10:36In this context, the Mexican head of state also clarified that the southern border should
10:40not be the shield in the sense that she requires a project to better address migration.
10:51Close to them is that the best way is to create a development hub where we can work with the
11:02government of Guatemala and our government with welfare hubs.
11:16We have two welfare hubs in Tapachula.
11:18I do not know if they went out to bidding already or are about to go out to bidding
11:22by the Secretary of the Navy, but that would be the best way.
11:41Better to have soldiers in the southern border.
11:46The nations of China, Japan, and South Korea unite commercially in the face of the entry
11:51into force of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff measures.
11:55According to the international media, the three ministers of China, Japan, and South
11:58Korea have proposed a possible free trade agreement to control Washington's high tariff.
12:05The meeting agreed to strengthen cooperation in their supply chain and in indirect dialogue
12:12and exports.
12:13This alliance was established during the trilateral meeting of ASEAN nations on March 30, where
12:21they established measures to facilitate international trade in Asia.
12:36The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, assured that the European
12:41Union had a plan to counter U.S. tariff impositions, but the European Union will strive from reaching
12:48a bilateral negotiated solution to defuse tensions.
12:51In response to Trump's announcement of imposing tariffs on Europe, von der Leyen made clear
12:58that the bloc was ready to face such sanctions instantly.
13:03The European Union leaders should be united and ramp up their global trade with other
13:08partners over a while.
13:21Our objective is a negotiated solution.
13:25But of course, if need be, we will protect our interests, our people, and our companies.
13:32And I want to be very clear on the aim of our response.
13:37We think that this confrontation is in no one's interest.
13:42The flow of goods and services between us, the United States and Europe, is nearly balanced.
13:50Of course, we are willing to work on the trade balance of goods as well as on the trade balance
13:55of services.
13:57This is the largest and most prosperous trade relation worldwide.
14:03We would all be better off if we could find a constructive solution.
14:09At the same time, it also has to be clear.
14:13Europe has not started this confrontation.
14:15We do not necessarily want to retaliate.
14:19But if it is necessary, we have a strong plan to retaliate and we will use it.
14:25At the same time, it also has to be clear.
14:29As part of the strengthening of bilateral relations between the two nations, Chinese
14:33Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with the Russian President Vladimir Putin after his meeting
14:37with his Russian counterpart.
14:39The Russian President asked Minister Wang Yi to convey friendly greetings to the Chinese
14:44President Xi Jinping and invited him to participate in the celebrations of the 80th anniversary
14:48of the victory in the Second World War, which will take place in Moscow on May 8.
14:54During the conclave, Putin welcomed the way in which relations between Moscow and Beijing
14:59are developing and points out that the main purpose of this visit is to prepare for the
15:05future visit of the President of the ASEAN to Russia.
15:09The Chinese Foreign Minister, for his part, stressed that the cooperation between the
15:14two countries is not aimed at third countries and is not subject to external interference.
15:23We want to express our satisfaction with the way our relations are developing, including
15:29with the direct contacts between our foreign ministries.
15:34I know that you have such a large, busy program for your visit, primarily relating to preparations
15:42for the arrival in Russia of the President of the People's Republic of China Xi Jinping.
15:48We will prepare a good, full program for him."
15:54For his part, the Chinese Foreign Minister highlighted the excellent state of bilateral
15:59relations among the nations based on mutual political trust and the rejection of external
16:04interference.
16:06Thanks to the care and promotion of the two heads of state, China-Russia political mutual
16:14trust has continued to deepen, strategic coordination has become more abundant, and
16:19pragmatic cooperation has continued to deepen, safeguarding the development and revitalization
16:24of the two great powers and also safeguarding our common interests in major international
16:29and regional affairs.
16:32China-Russia cooperation has never been directed against a third party and will never be subject
16:36to external interference.
16:39Our relations will not stand still, but will only become broader and broader.
16:43Our nation's friendship is not oriented towards the present, but towards the longer-term future.
16:52In this context, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov assured that the country of
16:57the world will consider Russian-Chinese relations as a stabilizing factor.
17:02The Russian Foreign Minister noted that he recognizes the responsibility of Moscow and
17:07Beijing to maintain close coordination in the international arena in his opening speech
17:13during negotiations with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.
17:17Lavrov assured that Moscow will agree with China on how to strengthen their relations
17:21as well as on further coordination in the UN and other bilateral platforms in order
17:28to build a fairer and more democratic multipolar world order.
17:36In this framework, China called on the United States to bid on denuclearization and to reduce
17:43the risk of threat and tensions in global conflicts.
17:47Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke on the subject of national security and highlighted the role
17:53of nuclear weapons in the face of global conflicts.
17:56Furthermore, Wang Yi stated that Washington should stop insisting on ideas of nuclear
18:02alliance in the world and also stop deploying weapons on other borders.
18:07Let's take a very short break, but don't go away because we'll be right back.
18:17Stay with us.
18:33Welcome back.
18:39Thousands of displaced Palestinians continue to leave Rafah following the evacuation order
18:43issued by the Israeli Occupation Army for the largest area of southern Gaza as the humanitarian
18:48crisis worsened due to the blockade of the enclave.
18:52On Monday, the Genocidal Regime issued a new forced evacuation order warning that soldiers
18:57would soon resume intense combat operations, forcing some 30,000 people to flee once again.
19:05In addition, evacuation orders were also issued on Tuesday for the residents of Beida Hanan,
19:12Beida Lahiya, and the neighborhoods of Sheikh Zayed al-Mansani and Tal Asatra in northern
19:20Gaza.
19:21According to a UN report, 20 percent of the Gaza Strip is already under Israeli evacuation
19:26orders, excluding buffer zones of the Sin Siram Corridor.
19:39The United Nations Agency for Children's Health, UNICEF, announced that 322 children were killed
19:46in a course of 10 days as a result of the heavy Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
19:51UNICEF explained in a statement that the intense and indiscriminate bombardments, coupled
19:58with the total suspension of humanitarian needs, has put civilians in Gaza, specifically
20:03children, at great risk.
20:06The organization warned that a number of child deaths could rise if basic needs, which Israel
20:13has been blocking for a month, are not met.
20:21The Israeli army attacks on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday claimed the lives of a journalist
20:30and his family.
20:32According to the Welfare News Agency, Israeli drama attacked a house of a journalist, Mohamed
20:37Saleh al-Bardawil, in the known Japanese neighborhood west of Kenyonis, resulting in his death along
20:46with his wife and their three children.
20:50According to the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 42 people were killed and 183 wounded
20:55in Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours.
21:09At least three people were killed and seven wounded in overnight new Israeli bombardment
21:15of the capital of Lebanon, Beirut.
21:17This is the second such attack on Beirut since the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel came
21:23into effect last October.
21:25Residents of the Lebanese capital woke up earlier on Tuesday morning to the impact of
21:29shells, cops, violence, and explosions in a residential building in the Madi neighborhood.
21:35The attack almost completely destroyed the top three floors of the building, claiming
21:40the lives of three people, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
21:43The Ethiopian army informed that a Hezbollah leader was a target following the direction
21:48of the army and the Sheinbed.
21:57It's just another brutal assault by the Israelis, as they usually do.
22:00They are violating international agreements.
22:02It's a strike as all the Lebanese territory is free game to them.
22:06We were at home.
22:07You know it's Eid al-Fitr, people have finished their work and have time off.
22:11The brutal strike took place.
22:13We didn't know where it happened.
22:14But once the smoke faded, it appeared it was the building directly facing us.
22:19In Israel, Finance Minister Basselel Smotrych has resigned for his past.
22:24Israel's Channel 12 reported Monday that Smotrych resigned in a letter to Israeli Prime Minister
22:31Benjamin Netanyahu.
22:32A spokesperson for Smotrych said that the resignation was a protest against an insurgent
22:39power, part of Party Head Itamar Ben-Gribb's request for more ministerial positions upon
22:47his return to join the regime again.
22:50The resignation will not collapse Netanyahu's coalition regime, but it will increase problems
22:55for the Eid as the move highlights growing fractures within Israel's far-right after coalition.
23:10In Malaysia, at least 33 people were reported injured after a gas plant explosion in a residential
23:17area.
23:18A major fire broke out on Tuesday morning in Putrajaya after an explosion of gas main.
23:25The fire, which originated near a gas station, was visible from miles away and caused immediate
23:32evacuation of nearby houses.
23:35The gas station was temporarily closed as a precaution, although not directly affected.
