00:26hurricane.

00:28In the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris said the results of the presidential

00:33elections.

00:42In Lebanon, the new Secretary General of Hezbollah denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin

00:46Netanyahu's intentions to expand his Zionist projects to other territories in the region.

00:59Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm Ana Marrero from the Telesur headquarters in Caracas, Venezuela.

01:04We'll be back with the news, stay with us.

01:21The President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, will visit on Thursday the territories most

01:26affected by Hurricane Rafael, which made landfall on the island on Wednesday as a Category

01:313 hurricane.

01:32The head of state himself confirmed that he has been in touch with the Secretary of the

01:37Communist Party of the affected regions.

01:40The objective is to create more precise evaluations in each one of the areas.

01:44Since Wednesday, the regional and national governments have been supervising many areas

01:49that have started the recovery work.

01:56In this context, he is moving forward the strategy for the gradual recovery of the national

02:07power system in the western part of the island.

02:09The electric system was disconnected this Wednesday as a result of winds gusts of about

02:14100 kilometers per hour.

02:15In the last hour, it was possible to bring energy to Guiteras and Nuevitas power stations

02:20to start the reconnection process.

02:27More than 10 sectors of emergency power generations provide coverage in central eastern regions

02:33of the country.

02:34The number of data should be increasing further during the daylight hours as soon as the drone

02:41breaks.

02:42Specialists will visit areas in the west affected by Hurricane Rafael to diagnose its damages

02:48and begin immediate recovery.

02:53In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro announced the shipment by sea of more than 300 tons

03:05of supplies to Cuba, fed by Hurricane Rafael.

03:08The President reiterated solidarity between both friendly countries and the government

03:12intentions to alleviate the consequences of the passage of Hurricane Category 3 Rafael

03:17this Wednesday, which caused the collapse of the electrical system due to its strong winds.

03:41And now moving on.

03:42Our well-coated international analyst will be with us live during this analysis of the

03:49presidential elections that passed on November the 5th.

03:53Hello, welcome Marlinda.

03:56Hello, thank you for inviting me.

04:00Thank you to you for being here with us.

04:02Let's start.

04:03And how can you understand, or how can we understand Donald Trump's victory, meaning

04:09the fact that not only he won in electoral votes, but for the first time also for the

04:14popular vote?

04:15Yes, I think that the election has to be taken in the brighter context of the Biden administration,

04:24which was a catastrophe.

04:25When Biden came to power, there was no big wars.

04:29And now we have the war in Ukraine and the war in West Asia.

04:33When Biden came to power, also the state of the economy was not in a good shape.

04:39But he has not restored what he has promised to do, let's say health care, housing system

04:48for people.

04:49People cannot afford houses in the United States.

04:52So the social situation and the economic situation is really bad.

04:58When you see the growth of the GPD, it's not that bad compared to the other country.

05:03But what happened with Biden is that only the oligarchy has benefited from the growth

05:07of the economy.

05:08So people wanted to shift away from that administration and were hoping that Trump would solve those

05:13problems.

05:15Yeah.

05:17And also, how do you anticipate Trump's victory will reshape US foreign policies, particularly

05:23in relations with Russia and China?

05:27Well, I think that there will not be a big reshape like people are expecting, because

05:34the United States, there is not only the president, there is a big machinery that is dedicated

05:41to continue with the imperialist project.

05:44So it will be another style of foreign policy.

05:47But the core of the foreign policy will still be the same.

05:51What has the capacity that has Trump and that didn't have Biden is that Trump is capable

05:57of negotiating.

05:58He can sit on the table with people that Biden has despised and that has cut relations.

06:05For example, Saudi Arabia, of course, Russia, North Korea and so on.

06:10So Trump will be able to discuss with them.

06:13But the core of the foreign policy of the United States will still be the same.

06:17It will be perpetuating in United States imperialism all over the world.

06:22Yeah.

06:23And lastly, because of the time, what changes do you foresee in US relationships with its

06:31traditional allies, especially in Europe and Asia, given Trump's America's first approach?

06:37Well, Europe, it will be easy.

06:42Elites from Europe is disappointed of the result of the election.

06:46But still, at the end of the day, they still have to obey their master, because Europe

06:50has been shaped for decades of obeying to the United States because it benefits from

06:56European imperialism.

06:57So they are not happy with it, but they will, at the end of the day, go with it.

07:01And with Asia, it will be very interesting.

07:04And for the moment, I think that we still need a little bit of time to oversee what

07:09changes would happen.

07:12I guess dialogue will resume, but I think that Trump is going for an all-war with China,

07:20unfortunately.

07:21Yeah.

07:22Thank you, Merlinda, for your analysis and your remarks.

07:27And now, let's take a very short break.

07:31But first, remember, you can join us on our TikTok account, Asteroid English.

07:35One final short break.

07:36Don't go away.

07:43Welcome back to From the South.

08:01In Lebanon, the Hezbollah-resistant movement denounced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin

08:06Netanyahu's intentions to expand his Zionist project to other territories in the region.

08:11The new Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Amin Kassem, explained Netanyahu's goals

08:15to invade Lebanon.

08:16We therefore do not know that the Israeli Prime Minister is willing to wipe out Lebanese

08:20resistance occupying Lebanon and change the map of West Asia.

08:30In addition, Kassem asserted that Hezbollah has sufficient resources, both in terms of

08:38armors and forces, to confront Israeli aggressions in the country.

08:49By the time the Israeli enemy decides to stop the aggression, there is a path for negotiations

08:53that we have clearly defined, indirect negotiations through the Lebanese state and President Neybay

08:58Berri, who carries the banner of political resistance.

09:04The new Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Amin Kassem, points out the methods used by

09:09the Israeli regime in its Zionist project.

09:14The first factor is extermination, slaughtering civilians, injustice, occupation and brutality.

09:20This is what we witness in Gaza and Lebanon.

09:23Amin Kassem assured that Hezbollah-resistant movements will keep fighting for as long as

09:30it is necessary indicating that they will not be defeated by a war of attrition.

09:40If they bet on the duration of the war to turn it into a war of attrition, don't hurry.

09:45If they want to establish a war of attrition, we are present.

09:49No matter how much time passes, we will stand firm, standing ready, facing them.

09:54They will not win even if it is a long time.

09:57In Palestine, the World Health Organization is currently evacuating 113 patients, Muslim

10:06children from Gaza to the United Arab Emirates and Romania to receive medical care.

10:12The World Health Organization's representative for the occupied Palestinian territory reported

10:16that patients, Muslim children with trauma injuries and chronic diseases have been living

10:22in a large convoy via the Karem-Shulam crossing with Israel.

10:26By the time they arrive there, the majority will then deport from Ramon Airport in southern

10:31Israel to the United Arab Emirates, while others will head for Romania.

10:36As a mother of children in Gaza, Inger shares information about her son's health conditions.

10:49Israeli occupation forces killed several students in Bethlehem after launching toxic

10:55gas canisters at schools in the town of Al-Qadir.

10:59Local media reported that Israeli military targets students as they were leaving their

11:03schools at the end of the school day.

11:05Early in the morning, the Israeli military had also fired toxic gas canisters around

11:11Al-Qadir secondary school for girls in the vicinity of local shops, causing suffocation

11:16cases among residents.

11:18These attacks come in as a recent escalation of Israeli forces' attacks on school children

11:25in Al-Qadir, with repeated incidents of suffocation injuries caused by the tear gas-footed hidden

11:30in tensions in the region.

11:39The Israeli occupation forces launched a new strike against southern Lebanon.

11:44According to the local media, Israeli fighters jet-bombed several points inside residential

11:49areas of the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

11:51The attack left thousands of civilians killed and wounded, as well as significant material

11:56and infrastructure damage in several areas.

11:59The bombing came shortly after the Israeli forces, spokesmen for the Arab media at Al-Bashar

12:05The United Nations organization denounced on Thursday that thousands of civilians are

12:22starving to death in Gaza right in front of the eyes of the world.

12:25The situation in north of Palestine and in Kleve has described as a desert and unsustainable

12:30for human life.

12:32Since a month ago, the troops of the Israeli occupation have been abseiling the area.

12:36On Thursday, they blew up one of the UN schools set up for vaccination day.

12:41In the north, the second dose of the vaccines could not be provided due to the size imposed

12:46by the Syrian regime.

13:30In Argentina, police officers assault senior citizens on Wednesday while they were Protestants

13:34against the government of Javier Millet.

13:36Argentina retorted and denounced that they were beaten by the authorities in the city

13:41of Buenos Aires as a way of repressing the social struggle of the sector.

13:44During the mobilization, they had the support of the National University of Central Buenos

13:51Aires to show their solidarity with the thousands of senior citizens who were suffering the

13:56neoliberal measures of Javier Millet.

13:59One of their main claims is a lack of medicines since the pharmaceutical domestic company

14:04does not agree on delivering medicines under the recipe of the National Institute of Social

14:10Services for Retirees and Pensioners.

14:20The Russian Federation Council ratified the International Strategic Partnership Agreement

14:33North Korea.

14:34The report housed First Deputy Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Vladimir Dashborov

14:40emphasized that the partnership between the two countries was based on mutual respect

14:44for the sovereignty of the states through true integrity and non-interference in internal

14:49affairs.

14:50The document consists of 23 articles, which entail the expansion of cooperation in the

14:55trade, economy, investment, science and technology, including the files of space and peaceful

15:00nuclear energy.

15:09A serious political crisis arises in Germany in the midst of another no less important

15:13crisis.

15:14The economic one.

15:15Chancellor Olaf Scholz has dismissed his finance minister Christian Lindner.

15:20The Free Democratic Party is thus expelled from the government and with the break-up

15:25of the islands, they are left without a minority in parliament.

15:28The Chancellor assures that Lindner has betrayed his trust and differences are already irreconcilable.

15:36These countries all resentings heading for early elections in March 2025.

15:42The new former minister demands a radical turnaround with massive spending cuts and

15:48tax cuts from his allies.

15:50On Thursday, the Chancellor stated that he will call a motion of confidence for next

15:55January the 15th.

15:58In Spain, the far-right Vox Party announced the fail of complaint against the Prime Minister

16:16Pedro Sanchez for the alleged crimes of reckless homicides and omission of assistance in the

16:20tragedy triggered by the passage of Dana Storm.

16:24In a press briefing, the leader of the far-right party, Santiago Abascal, considered that the

16:31situation in Valencia due to the passage of Dana was aggravated due to Sanchez's political

16:37actions.

16:38Abascal points out that the Prime Minister has maintained an insensitive attitude towards

16:43those affected, evading the situation by supposedly denying military deployment and rejecting international

16:51aid.

16:52These allegations came despite a fact that, according to the local media, the executive

16:58has deployed almost 15,000 troops to provide assistance in the affected areas.
