The President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, will visit on Thursday the territories most
00:17
affected by Hurricane Rafael, which made landfall on the island on Wednesday as a Category 3
00:26
hurricane.
00:28
In the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris said the results of the presidential
00:33
elections.
00:42
In Lebanon, the new Secretary General of Hezbollah denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
00:46
Netanyahu's intentions to expand his Zionist projects to other territories in the region.
00:59
Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters in Caracas, Venezuela.
01:04
We'll be back with the news, stay with us.
01:21
The President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, will visit on Thursday the territories most
01:26
affected by Hurricane Rafael, which made landfall on the island on Wednesday as a Category
01:31
3 hurricane.
01:32
The head of state himself confirmed that he has been in touch with the Secretary of the
01:37
Communist Party of the affected regions.
01:40
The objective is to create more precise evaluations in each one of the areas.
01:44
Since Wednesday, the regional and national governments have been supervising many areas
01:49
that have started the recovery work.
01:56
In this context, he is moving forward the strategy for the gradual recovery of the national
02:07
power system in the western part of the island.
02:09
The electric system was disconnected this Wednesday as a result of winds gusts of about
02:14
100 kilometers per hour.
02:15
In the last hour, it was possible to bring energy to Guiteras and Nuevitas power stations
02:20
to start the reconnection process.
02:27
More than 10 sectors of emergency power generations provide coverage in central eastern regions
02:33
of the country.
02:34
The number of data should be increasing further during the daylight hours as soon as the drone
02:41
breaks.
02:42
Specialists will visit areas in the west affected by Hurricane Rafael to diagnose its damages
02:48
and begin immediate recovery.
02:53
In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro announced the shipment by sea of more than 300 tons
03:05
of supplies to Cuba, fed by Hurricane Rafael.
03:08
The President reiterated solidarity between both friendly countries and the government
03:12
intentions to alleviate the consequences of the passage of Hurricane Category 3 Rafael
03:17
this Wednesday, which caused the collapse of the electrical system due to its strong winds.
03:41
And now moving on.
03:42
Our well-coated international analyst will be with us live during this analysis of the
03:49
presidential elections that passed on November the 5th.
03:53
Hello, welcome Marlinda.
03:56
Hello, thank you for inviting me.
04:00
Thank you to you for being here with us.
04:02
Let's start.
04:03
And how can you understand, or how can we understand Donald Trump's victory, meaning
04:09
the fact that not only he won in electoral votes, but for the first time also for the
04:14
popular vote?
04:15
Yes, I think that the election has to be taken in the brighter context of the Biden administration,
04:24
which was a catastrophe.
04:25
When Biden came to power, there was no big wars.
04:29
And now we have the war in Ukraine and the war in West Asia.
04:33
When Biden came to power, also the state of the economy was not in a good shape.
04:39
But he has not restored what he has promised to do, let's say health care, housing system
04:48
for people.
04:49
People cannot afford houses in the United States.
04:52
So the social situation and the economic situation is really bad.
04:58
When you see the growth of the GPD, it's not that bad compared to the other country.
05:03
But what happened with Biden is that only the oligarchy has benefited from the growth
05:07
of the economy.
05:08
So people wanted to shift away from that administration and were hoping that Trump would solve those
05:13
problems.
05:15
Yeah.
05:17
And also, how do you anticipate Trump's victory will reshape US foreign policies, particularly
05:23
in relations with Russia and China?
05:27
Well, I think that there will not be a big reshape like people are expecting, because
05:34
the United States, there is not only the president, there is a big machinery that is dedicated
05:41
to continue with the imperialist project.
05:44
So it will be another style of foreign policy.
05:47
But the core of the foreign policy will still be the same.
05:51
What has the capacity that has Trump and that didn't have Biden is that Trump is capable
05:57
of negotiating.
05:58
He can sit on the table with people that Biden has despised and that has cut relations.
06:05
For example, Saudi Arabia, of course, Russia, North Korea and so on.
06:10
So Trump will be able to discuss with them.
06:13
But the core of the foreign policy of the United States will still be the same.
06:17
It will be perpetuating in United States imperialism all over the world.
06:22
Yeah.
06:23
And lastly, because of the time, what changes do you foresee in US relationships with its
06:31
traditional allies, especially in Europe and Asia, given Trump's America's first approach?
06:37
Well, Europe, it will be easy.
06:42
Elites from Europe is disappointed of the result of the election.
06:46
But still, at the end of the day, they still have to obey their master, because Europe
06:50
has been shaped for decades of obeying to the United States because it benefits from
06:56
European imperialism.
06:57
So they are not happy with it, but they will, at the end of the day, go with it.
07:01
And with Asia, it will be very interesting.
07:04
And for the moment, I think that we still need a little bit of time to oversee what
07:09
changes would happen.
07:12
I guess dialogue will resume, but I think that Trump is going for an all-war with China,
07:20
unfortunately.
07:21
Yeah.
07:22
Thank you, Merlinda, for your analysis and your remarks.
07:27
And now, let's take a very short break.
07:31
But first, remember, you can join us on our TikTok account, Asteroid English.
07:35
One final short break.
07:36
Don't go away.
07:43
Welcome back to From the South.
08:01
In Lebanon, the Hezbollah-resistant movement denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
08:06
Netanyahu's intentions to expand his Zionist project to other territories in the region.
08:11
The new Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Amin Kassem, explained Netanyahu's goals
08:15
to invade Lebanon.
08:16
We therefore do not know that the Israeli Prime Minister is willing to wipe out Lebanese
08:20
resistance occupying Lebanon and change the map of West Asia.
08:30
In addition, Kassem asserted that Hezbollah has sufficient resources, both in terms of
08:38
armors and forces, to confront Israeli aggressions in the country.
08:49
By the time the Israeli enemy decides to stop the aggression, there is a path for negotiations
08:53
that we have clearly defined, indirect negotiations through the Lebanese state and President Neybay
08:58
Berri, who carries the banner of political resistance.
09:04
The new Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Amin Kassem, points out the methods used by
09:09
the Israeli regime in its Zionist project.
09:14
The first factor is extermination, slaughtering civilians, injustice, occupation and brutality.
09:20
This is what we witness in Gaza and Lebanon.
09:23
Amin Kassem assured that Hezbollah-resistant movements will keep fighting for as long as
09:30
it is necessary indicating that they will not be defeated by a war of attrition.
09:40
If they bet on the duration of the war to turn it into a war of attrition, don't hurry.
09:45
If they want to establish a war of attrition, we are present.
09:49
No matter how much time passes, we will stand firm, standing ready, facing them.
09:54
They will not win even if it is a long time.
09:57
In Palestine, the World Health Organization is currently evacuating 113 patients, Muslim
10:06
children from Gaza to the United Arab Emirates and Romania to receive medical care.
10:12
The World Health Organization's representative for the occupied Palestinian territory reported
10:16
that patients, Muslim children with trauma injuries and chronic diseases have been living
10:22
in a large convoy via the Karem-Shulam crossing with Israel.
10:26
By the time they arrive there, the majority will then deport from Ramon Airport in southern
10:31
Israel to the United Arab Emirates, while others will head for Romania.
10:36
As a mother of children in Gaza, Inger shares information about her son's health conditions.
10:49
Israeli occupation forces killed several students in Bethlehem after launching toxic
10:55
gas canisters at schools in the town of Al-Qadir.
10:59
Local media reported that Israeli military targets students as they were leaving their
11:03
schools at the end of the school day.
11:05
Early in the morning, the Israeli military had also fired toxic gas canisters around
11:11
Al-Qadir secondary school for girls in the vicinity of local shops, causing suffocation
11:16
cases among residents.
11:18
These attacks come in as a recent escalation of Israeli forces' attacks on school children
11:25
in Al-Qadir, with repeated incidents of suffocation injuries caused by the tear gas-footed hidden
11:30
in tensions in the region.
11:39
The Israeli occupation forces launched a new strike against southern Lebanon.
11:44
According to the local media, Israeli fighters jet-bombed several points inside residential
11:49
areas of the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
11:51
The attack left thousands of civilians killed and wounded, as well as significant material
11:56
and infrastructure damage in several areas.
11:59
The bombing came shortly after the Israeli forces, spokesmen for the Arab media at Al-Bashar
12:05
The United Nations organization denounced on Thursday that thousands of civilians are
12:22
starving to death in Gaza right in front of the eyes of the world.
12:25
The situation in north of Palestine and in Kleve has described as a desert and unsustainable
12:30
for human life.
12:32
Since a month ago, the troops of the Israeli occupation have been abseiling the area.
12:36
On Thursday, they blew up one of the UN schools set up for vaccination day.
12:41
In the north, the second dose of the vaccines could not be provided due to the size imposed
12:46
by the Syrian regime.
12:49

13:30
In Argentina, police officers assault senior citizens on Wednesday while they were Protestants
13:34
against the government of Javier Millet.
13:36
Argentina retorted and denounced that they were beaten by the authorities in the city
13:41
of Buenos Aires as a way of repressing the social struggle of the sector.
13:44
During the mobilization, they had the support of the National University of Central Buenos
13:51
Aires to show their solidarity with the thousands of senior citizens who were suffering the
13:56
neoliberal measures of Javier Millet.
13:59
One of their main claims is a lack of medicines since the pharmaceutical domestic company
14:04
does not agree on delivering medicines under the recipe of the National Institute of Social
14:10
Services for Retirees and Pensioners.
14:20
The Russian Federation Council ratified the International Strategic Partnership Agreement
14:24
with North Korea.
14:26
The Federation Council approved with 191 votes in favor and none against the agreement with
14:33
North Korea.
14:34
The report housed First Deputy Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Vladimir Dashborov
14:40
emphasized that the partnership between the two countries was based on mutual respect
14:44
for the sovereignty of the states through true integrity and non-interference in internal
14:49
affairs.
14:50
The document consists of 23 articles, which entail the expansion of cooperation in the
14:55
trade, economy, investment, science and technology, including the files of space and peaceful
15:00
nuclear energy.
15:09
A serious political crisis arises in Germany in the midst of another no less important
15:13
crisis.
15:14
The economic one.
15:15
Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed his finance minister Christian Lindner.
15:20
The Free Democratic Party is thus expelled from the government and with the break-up
15:25
of the islands, they are left without a minority in parliament.
15:28
The Chancellor assures that Lindner has betrayed his trust and differences are already irreconcilable.
15:36
These countries all resentings heading for early elections in March 2025.
15:42
The new former minister demands a radical turnaround with massive spending cuts and
15:48
tax cuts from his allies.
15:50
On Thursday, the Chancellor stated that he will call a motion of confidence for next
15:55

In Spain, the far-right Vox Party announced the fail of complaint against the Prime Minister
16:16
Pedro Sanchez for the alleged crimes of reckless homicides and omission of assistance in the
16:20
tragedy triggered by the passage of Dana Storm.
16:24
In a press briefing, the leader of the far-right party, Santiago Abascal, considered that the
16:31
situation in Valencia due to the passage of Dana was aggravated due to Sanchez's political
16:37
actions.
16:38
Abascal points out that the Prime Minister has maintained an insensitive attitude towards
16:43
those affected, evading the situation by supposedly denying military deployment and rejecting international
16:51
aid.
16:52
These allegations came despite a fact that, according to the local media, the executive
16:58
has deployed almost 15,000 troops to provide assistance in the affected areas.
