01:17The Islamic Resistance Movement of Lebanon, Hezbollah, confirmed the death of its Secretary

01:24General Hassan Nasrallah as a consequence of one of Israel's aerial bombardments south

01:29of Beirut.

01:30Through a communique, the resistance highlighted the commitment of Hassan Nasrallah to the

01:36defense of the Palestinian cause and his unconditional support to the people of Gaza.

01:43During the last week, tensions intensified due to the Israeli attacks against Hezbollah

01:49and civilian areas in Lebanon, actions that Nasrallah condemned and denounced as a sign

01:55of war perpetrated by the Israeli regime.

02:06Still in Lebanon, authorities confirmed the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary General

02:10Hassan Nasrallah, of the age of 64, in the midst of an Israeli bombardment of the city

02:17of Beirut.

02:18Nasrallah was born on August 31, 1960, in the Lebanese city of Abu Mahmoud.

02:27He rose to the prominence as Secretary General of the political parties and armed corps of

02:35Hezbollah in 1992.

02:37He was a central figure in the struggle against the Israeli occupation.

02:42During his leadership, the Lebanese resistance became one of the most politically influential

02:47organizations in the Arab region.

02:50Nasrallah was a firm supporter of the Palestinian cause and provided military and logistical

02:59assistance in the confrontation against the Taliban regime.

03:10The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah confirmed the assassination of Secretary General

03:15Hassan Nasrallah at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces.

03:19The Lebanese resistance issued a communique in which he stated his eminence Yair Hassan

03:26Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah, during his great and immortal martyrs, whose

03:32journey he led for almost 30 years, during which he went from victory to victory, succeeding

03:39the masters of the martyrs of the Islamic resistance in 1992 until the liberation of

03:45Lebanon in the 2000s, and until the divine and sustaining victory in 2006, and other

03:52battles of honor and redemption until the battle of support and the resumption of support

03:58of Palestine, Gaza, and the oppressed Palestinian people.

04:02The document further states, Hezbollah leadership pledged to the highest, holiest, most precious

04:08martyrs of our journey, full of sacrifices and martyrs, to continue his year to come

04:14from the enemy in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in defense of Lebanon and its since the

04:21first and honorable people.

04:24Finally, the text notes, Our leaders, his eminence, the master, is still among us with

04:30his thoughts, spirit, line, and sacred approach, and you are in a covenant of loyalty and commitment

04:38to resistance and sacrifice until victory.

04:55the families and friends of the Lebanese resistance leader Abuda Abida expressed, We mourn with

05:01all the meaning of patience and consideration for his eminence, Commander Hassam Nasrallah

05:08and his brothers, and we remember his journey full of sacrifices for the sake of liberation

05:22Palestinian people, our brave resistance, and our legitimate rights, and his intentions

05:28on continuing the heroic front of supporting our people and our resistance in the epic

05:33of Al-Aqsa, the Lod.

05:42Smoke rises as a result of a new Israeli attack in the Beirut's southern suburbs.

05:48Israeli fighters jets launch new riots on residential buildings in the Al-Shia area

05:54in the southern suburbs of Beirut, while other bombing riots target homes in the vicinity

06:02of the towns of Al-Karab, Qidom and Qid in Beirut.

06:09These new aggressions come hours after the news of the assassination of the Hezbollah

06:14leader Nasrallah.

06:26We'll take a very short break, but we'll be right back, stay with us.

06:32Welcome back to From the South.

06:50We continue with the Lebanese news.

06:53In this regard, the president of Turkey, Bricepci Berdogan, joined the repudiation of the Israeli

06:59attacks on Lebanon and the invasion of Gaza Strip.

07:03Via social network X, the Turkish leader said, Lebanon and the Lebanese people are the new

07:09target of Israel's policies of genocide, occupation and invasion, which it has been pursuing since

07:18October 7, as a result of Israel's brutal attacks.

07:23Many Lebanese, including children, have been killed in the last week.

07:26No one with a conscience can accept, excuse or justify such a massacre.

07:33The Israeli government becomes more reckless, and it is cuddled by powers that provide it

07:40with weapons and ammunitions for its massacres.

07:43It defies all humanity.

07:53The president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, also rejects the assassination of Hezbollah

07:57leader Hassan Nasrallah through his social network.

08:00The Cuban leader affirmed that, we condemn the crudely selected assassination of Hassan

08:08Nasrallah, Secretary General of Hezbollah, as a result of the attack perpetrated by Israel

08:14against residential buildings in the southern suburbs of Beirut, causing destruction and

08:20death of innocent civilians.

08:22Finally, he sentenced this fact seriously threatens regional and world peace and security,

08:28the total responsibility for which falls on Israel with the complicity of the United States.

08:42And the government of Roshad joined to the expression of the assassination of the Secretary

08:49General of the movement Hamas, Hassan Nasrallah.

08:57And the Syrian government condemned the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah during an Israeli attack

09:02and decreased three days of mourning in his memory.

09:07Additionally, they denounced that the Israeli forces continued their aggressive and criminal

09:14military campaign against the region by attacking a residential area in the city of Beirut.

09:20Damascus warns that Tel Aviv is dancing in its resistance of bloodshed and committing

09:29all kinds of war crimes and crimes against humanity that will lead to an escalation in

09:35the region.

09:36Therefore, rejects the international silence in the face of these unprecedented crimes

09:41in decades.

09:42And now, changing topics with the UN General Assembly.

09:57With the condemnation of the Israeli aggressions against the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, the fifth

10:01day of debate of the 79th session of the General Assembly of the UN's organization.

10:07At least 193 head of states will participate in this Saturday's events, affirming the cooperation

10:14and solidarity among member states to mitigate global challenges such as armed conflicts,

10:21the humanitarian crisis, territories in conflict, and the fight of climate change.

10:26In this regard, it is expected that participants will rise their voices in favor of peace as

10:31they did sustainable development and in rejection of the international blockade system that

10:36prevents progress towards a just future.

11:06Welcome back.

11:25Mexico and the United States have been hit by two powerful cyclones that have so far

11:29left more than 60 people dead, severe floodings, and extensive damage to property.

11:35According to the most recent reports from Mexican authorities, the passage of Hurricane

11:39Joan has awakened hazards specifically in the south of the country.

11:45So far in the state of Oaxaca and Guerrero, 16 deaths have been recorded and more than

11:5040 people are reported missing.

11:52The powerful category 4 cyclone has submerged several cities underwater.

11:57Meanwhile, in the U.S., Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, and the Carolinas were

12:03hit by Hurricane Helen.

12:05So far, federal authorities confirmed 45 deaths and almost 4 million people without electricity.

12:13Several citizens said they have had to help each other because help is slow to arrive.

12:28And the Mexican coastal city of Acapulco residents are delaying with the aftermath

12:34of Hurricane Joan while still recovering from Hurricane Otis less than a year ago.

12:45It's been raining for five days now and we're desperate.

12:49The supermarkets and grocery stores are closed.

12:51The federal, municipal, and state governments need to look at the situation in Acapulco.

12:56It is very critical.

12:57It is a very difficult situation.

12:59We still haven't recovered from Hurricane Otis and now we seem to be in an even worse

13:04situation.

13:05How long has this hurricane been going on?

13:10The water, the floods, the people drowning, there's no, Acapulco is completely destroyed.

13:16In Indonesia, the death toll from landslide and an illegal mine has been raised down to

13:2311 with miscounseling to remote locations.

13:27Such efforts have been hard-run by the remote location as rescue teams, including police,

13:33soldiers, and civilians have had to walk for hours from the nearest town to reach the area.

13:45The evacuation process was highly challenging.

13:48First, we faced difficulties due to severe weather and the extremely rugged terrain.

13:54There was also a lack of proper lighting and the distance from the incident site to a safe

13:58location was significant.

14:04The estimated travel time for the people carrying out the evacuation, under normal conditions,

14:10From the safe location to the incident site is approximately four to five hours.

14:14But as the Vice President, Elsi Rodriguez, announced from Russia that the Bolivarian

14:23nation will become a gas exporter for the first time in its history.

14:27Rodriguez stated that this after holding a meeting with the Russian authorities and with

14:33Mohamed Hamel, Secretary General of the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries.

14:38During the meeting, the Vice President reiterated the importance of natural gas as a crucial

14:43energy resource and the capabilities of the country, which is one of the nations with

14:49the largest gas reserves in the world.

14:51The Vice President and the Secretary General agreed that international collaborations will

14:56be necessary in the current world context.

14:59And in Venezuela, the third meeting of the network of young parliamentarians of Venezuela

15:09in 2024 was held at the Federal Yisterday Palace with the objective of discussing matters

15:15of national interest.

15:17In this hemicycle of the governmental headquarters, young people from the patria bloc, activists

15:25and militants met to discuss topics of interest, as well as to debate strategies against fascism

15:32and in favor of democracy.
