00:46Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm Luis Alberto Matos from Ederesú Studios in Caracas, Venezuela. We begin with the news. Stay with us.
01:00We begin with the news.
01:09But the general authorities announced that Paul Francis, at the age of 88, passed away Monday after suffering from bilateral pneumonia and a polymicrobial respiratory tract infection for several months and a day after appearing in public at Easter Sunday Mass.

01:45From the White House account, rest in peace, Pope Francis.
01:48For his part, the head of the United Nations Refugee Agency, Filippo Grande, said may you continue to give us faith and courage in this brutal world.
01:57French President Emmanuel Macron said, from Buenos Aires to Rome, Pope Francis wanted the Church to bring joy and hope to the poorest of the poor.
02:09Former member of the European Parliament, Claire Daly, wrote a man of peace, an outspoken critic of war.
02:16Dear brothers and sisters, with profound pain, I must announce the death of our Holy Pope Francis.
02:37At 7.35 this morning, Pope Francis has returned to the house of the Father.
02:52All of his life has been dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church.
03:02He has taught us the value of the Gospel with loyalty, courage, and universal love, in a particular way in favor of the poorest and the more marginalized.
03:23With great gratitude for his example, as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend his soul to the infinite and merciful love of God, one and three.
03:42Let's deepen a bit about his life dedicated to Catholicism.
03:47Pope Francis was born on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, being the first one from South America.
03:54Moreover, he was the first Jesuit to be elected as Pope on March 14, 2013.
03:59During his mandate, Pope Francis visited more than 50 countries, bringing a message of peace, humility, social harmony, and respect for democratic values.
04:08The Supreme Pontiff defended the rights of migrants and refugees and denounced the aggression of Gaza at the hands of Israel.
04:14He also took significant steps to combat the sex-abuse crisis within the Catholic Church.
04:29The Argentine government decreed seven days of mourning for the death of Pope Francis.
04:33The information was released by the presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni, who referred to Francis as a spiritual leader and guide for millions of men and women.
04:42The official's message was preceded by a publication by President Javier Milley, who also regretted the news,
04:48despite recognizing that he had differences with the leader of the Catholic Church.
04:53The President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, expressed his deepest sorrow at the physical departure of Pope Francis, spiritual leader and friend of the peoples.
05:20The statement expresses the President, together with the Venezuelan people, mourns with deep sorrow the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis,
05:27pastor of the world, brother of the south, and staunch defender of justice, peace, and the most humble.
05:34Pope Francis was a transforming spiritual leader whose clear and courageous voice denounced the inequalities of the dominant system
05:41and called for the construction of a more humane, just, and deeply united world.
05:46From his Latin American identity, he gave impetus to a church committed to the causes of the poor,
05:51to the protection of Mother Earth, and to dialogue between cultures and regions.
05:56His pontificate would be remembered for his profound option for the excluded, for his partial courage, and for his capacity to renew hope in the people.
06:05He was a man of God who did not hesitate to make the powerful uncomfortable with the truth of the Gospel.
06:11Furthermore, the head of state added Venezuela will always remember him as a sincere friend,
06:16as the Pope was pushed with determination, the canonization of Dr. Jose Gregorio Hernandez,
06:22symbol of faith of the Venezuelan people and the spiritual bridge between our struggles and our hope.
06:27We ask him, together with Modo Carmen Rindeles, to receive him in the glory of God.
06:33In this moment of spiritual recollection, the Venezuelan people uniting prayers,
06:37celebrating the luminous legacy of Francis, his love for his neighbor, his committed faith,
06:43and his testimony of humanity, his memory, will live on in those of us who struggle for a world of dignity, peace, and social justice.
06:52And the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, wrote on her ex-account, Pope Francis Dice,
07:04a humanist who opted for the poor, peace, and equality.
07:08He leaves a great legacy of true love for neighbors, for Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
07:14It is a great loss. To have known him was a great honor and privilege. May he rest in peace.
07:20For his part, Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel took to ex to say,
07:33We deeply regret the passing of the unforgettable Pope Francis.
07:38The signs of affection and cordial closeness that he transmitted to our compatriots
07:43were always reciprocated by Cubans.
07:46We always remember with great affection his visits to Cuba and the words of affection he dedicated to our country in his messages.
07:53I extend heartfelt condolences to his family members and to the international Catholic community.
07:59And after the death of Pope Francis, let's review the official protocol of the Vatican, step by step.
08:12After the death of Pope Francis, the Church is in vacancy.
08:17And all the ministers cease their functions, and it will be the Cardinal Camarlengo, currently the Irish Kevin Farrell,
08:25who will administer it until a successor is found, as dictated by the Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gresis of 1996.
08:37Pope Francis had appointed the Cardinal Camarlengo in 2019, and also modified the Ordo Execitarum Romani Pontificis,
08:47the liturgical book that guides the funerals of the Popes established by the Apostolic Constitution.
08:54Pope Francis had written down what he wanted his funeral to be like, simpler than those of previous Popes.
09:03The funeral would be faithful to his austere style, without the exposition of the body on a catafalque in the Basilica of St. Peter, but in an open coffin.
09:14In this way, he proposed to eliminate both the tradition of depositing the Popes in three coffins of cypress, lead and oak,
09:23as well as the private wake of high officials of the Curia that was previously held before the public exposition.
09:31The death of the Pope is certified in his private chapel,
09:35and the Cardinals under the age of 80 gather in the existing chapel for the election of the new Pope,
09:42a secret process that requires a two-thirds majority.
09:46The conclave comes from the Latin cum clave, which means under lock and key,
09:52reflects the isolation and secrecy that characterize this event,
09:57and begins between 15 and 20 days after the declaration of the vacancy.
10:03During the meeting, boarding takes place up to four times a day.
10:09Let's now take our first break.

10:39Welcome back.
10:56In Yemen, the Ministry of Health reported that a new U.S. strike on the food market killed at least 12 civilians and wounded 30 others.
11:04Local media reported that U.S. strikes targeted residential areas in the city of Sanaa and the district of Bani Matar.
11:10The new airstrikes came two days after the U.S. strikes on the Ras Isa fuel port,
11:15which killed at least 80 people and wounded another 150.
11:19In this context, the U.S. attacks are being carried out as part of a Washington plan to abdicate Yemen's support to Palestine,
11:26due to the Yemeni operations to prevent the passage of Israeli ships through the Red Sea,
11:31while the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people continues.
11:34The Palestinian Red Crescent Humanitarian Organization rejected the Israeli army's report on the killing of 15 paramedics in the Gaza Strip last March,
11:47accusing it of being full of falsehoods.
11:49According to the spokeswoman of the Red Crescent, Nebal Farzak,
11:53the Israeli report is invalid and unacceptable because it justifies the death of rescuers
11:58and transfers their responsibilities to an alleged personal error in the field of command.
12:02She also added that the Israeli government's statements seek to justify the death
12:07and ignore the real events that took place on March 23rd.
12:10The assassination of paramedics and rescuers from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society
12:14generated international outrage and demands for a war crimes investigation by the Israeli army and government.
12:21In our news in Argentina, the government plans to cut some 400,000 disability patients under the pretext of alleged inequalities in their distribution.
12:34This figure represents double what they had projected months ago and a third of the total number of current beneficiaries.
12:41The terminations will be decreed based on the results of the audit launched by the head of the National Disability Agency, Diego Spagnuolo,
12:48who signed the resolution that contained insults such as idiot and retarded to refer to the group.
12:54So far, half of those audited never received the notification to be evaluated due to Andy's own negligence.
13:06An in Ecuador progressive international election observer denounced these realities in the recent presidential elections.
13:12The results presented as official gave Daniel Novoa 56% of the votes compared to 44% for Luisa Gonzalez.
13:20However, these numbers are widely questioned for presenting notable statistical inconsistencies.
13:25Election observer Lee Brown points the unlikely...
13:29The same as in the first round while Novoa experienced an increase contradicting pre-election polls.
13:37Faced with this, Gonzalez has refused to recognize the results and has requested a full count and an independent audit,
13:44a request that has been denied by the electoral authorities.
13:47Like this, we have come to the end of this news brief.
