00:29round and the Argentinian Senate rejected the clean sheet bill which sought to prohibit persons
00:39convicted of crimes against public administration from running for elective office. Hello and welcome
00:49to From the South. My name is Belen de los Santos. I'm from the Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:53We begin with the news.
00:59We now begin with the information. Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting with
01:11his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping where they signed several strategic cooperation agreements.
01:15At the reunion, the Russian head of state assured that Moscow and Beijing remain strong defenders of
01:22the historic truth and remember the countless people their countries lost during World War II,
01:30stressing that the sacrifices that both their nations made should never be forgotten.
01:34In echoing remarks, Xi highlighted the need for the continuous development of the country's
01:39bilateral relations. For this, following their talks, Putin and Xi signed a joint statement on
01:46further strengthening their comprehensive partnership and strategic interaction in the new era.
01:51And also as part of the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazism and fascism,
02:02the president of Venezuela and Cuba laid wrath at the Simon Bolivar monument in Moscow.
02:07Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, together with his Cuban counterpart Miguel Diaz-Canel,
02:12were received by Venezuelan students at the side where they placed a wrath at the statue of the
02:18liberator Simon Bolivar in the Russian capital. The monument, inaugurated in the year 2023,
02:24represents the culmination of one of the projects of Commander Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias,
02:29who in one of his last visits to the country placed the first tone
02:33of a project that would seal the alliance of both nations.
02:40The heroic people, liberating Europe, liberating the Jewish people, liberating humanity.
02:46That is the truth. The triumph belongs to them yesterday and the triumph belongs to them today.
02:51And the triumph will belong to them forever. That is why we have to come.
02:54We stay in Russia as Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro met with Chechen leader Ramsam Kadirov
03:02in order to strengthen bilateral relations amid the celebration of Victory Day.
03:07Through his social networks, the Venezuelan President informed after a successful working day,
03:13I met with Kadirov, Ramsam, head of the Republic of Chechenia,
03:18in an effort to consolidate the bonds of brotherhood.
03:22With this meeting, Bolivar's homeland ratifies its commitment to promote brotherhood among peoples
03:27in order to continue together in defense of self-determination and the Bolivarian diplomacy of peace.
03:40And world leaders continue to arrive in Moscow ahead of Victory Day celebrations to be held on May 9.
03:46In this case, interim military president of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traoré, also arrived to the Russian capital.
03:53The Burkina leader arrived in Moscow on Thursday to take part in the commemoration
03:58and also strengthening his nation's growing ties with the Russian Federation,
04:05a key alliance in the Sahel's anti-colonialist project.
04:09In an act of Rosophobia, Estonia and other Baltic countries decided to ban the use of their airspace
04:21by world leaders attending the Victory Day parade.
04:25The flight of presidents of Cuba and Brazil, Miguel DĂaz-Canel and Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, among others,
04:32were affected because Estonia and other Baltic nations prevented the passage of aircrafts heading Moscow.
04:39Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov described such action as a
04:43disgraceful way to deprive of all rights those who defend historical memory together with Russia.
04:50According to analysts, the measure seeks to impose a narrative of an isolated Russia.
04:56We stay in Russia.
05:10President Vladimir Putin announced a three-day ceasefire on the 80th anniversary
05:14of the victory in the Great Patriotic War against Nazi Germany.
05:19Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov assured that this measure will begin on May 8th
05:24and will last until May 11th.
05:26This decision has a humanitarian character and is aimed at allowing the exchange of prisoners
05:31and the evacuation of civilians in conflict zones.
05:35Peskov warned that Russia will respond forcefully to any provocation or violation of the ceasefire
05:41by the Ukrainian armed forces.
05:44Victory Day is one of the most symbolic events in Russia,
05:47where there will be commemorative acts, marches, and as a main tradition,
05:52during the military parade, where troops and modern war equipment will be exhibited.
