07:16Region, SART-5.

07:17Likewise, seeing authorities of the new administration attempt the so much warmly received sworn

07:25in act, it is worth to recall that China resumed its exercise of sorority over Macau on December

07:40Region after Hong Kong.

08:12their whereabouts have not been confirmed yet due to communication problems.

10:31Patricia Bulrich to request support from military personnel or from provisional police forces

10:37and from the city of Buenos Aires in situations of internal conmotions.

10:42The decree goes into question the defense law since it does not clearly or explicitly

10:50define what a strategic value of the treaty is.

10:53Therefore, it gives national police the power to define or to ratify this concept.

11:49The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, became the target of criticism from local

11:54residents during his visit to the archipelago of Mayotte, devastated after the passage of

11:58Cyclone Chirou.

12:00The president faced the impatience and anger of the people who demanded his resignation

12:05and denounced the government's lack of actions to come to aid of the people affected by the

12:10cyclone.

12:12In response to the criticism, Macron could not detail the supposed measures taken to

12:16solve the crisis in the area and lashed out at the residents, saying that he is not responsible

12:22for the catastrophe.

12:23The French leaders indicated to the residents that if they were not in France, they would

12:28be much worse off, as he considers that they are not receiving sufficient aid.

12:43In the Macquarie Republic of the Congo, a flash flooding of Alberta laid effect over

12:48the 55,000 locals in Aturi province.

12:52The Civil Protection Authority detailed that water overflows are due to rise in the river

12:57levels after downpours that fall during the season in the area.

13:02They further specified that thousands of evacuees are facing very poor food conditions.

13:09The NDI members request the government to assess the situation in order to allocate

13:13humanitarian aid to the victims.

13:26This Friday, Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek Williams confirmed that Fernando Martínez

13:31Motola, a far-right activist from Vente, Venezuela, who has been residing in the Argentine embassy

13:37in Caracas, surrendered to the Venezuelan authorities yesterday.

13:41The Public Prosecutor's Office informed that on Thursday, December 19, 2024, Mr. Fernando

13:46Martínez Motola, who was residing in the embassy of the Republic of Argentina in Venezuela

13:50with a group of members of the extremist organization Vente Venezuela, who are the fugitives, voluntarily

13:56present himself at the main office of the Public Prosecutor's Office in Caracas.

14:00The aforementioned citizen was brought to justice and made a statement at the Prosecutor's

14:06Office regarding the serious violent, conspirational and destabilizing acts that have been organized

14:12from their diplomatic headquarters during the last month after the presidential elections

14:19of July the 28th.

14:20It is important to highlight that Martínez Motola decided to actively collaborate with

14:25the Venezuelan justice system within the framework of the process provided for in Article

14:3039 of the Constitution of the Republic.

14:33Finally, the Public Prosecutor's Office of Rector and holder of criminal investigations

14:39remains firm in its duty to guarantee justice as well as in its fight against any national

14:45or international group or entity outside the law that attempts against the peace of the

14:50Venezuelan nation.

14:55Cuba held the closing of the fourth session of the Cuba Parliament in which President

15:04Miguel Díaz-Canel presented a balance sheet on the government's actions in 2024.

15:08During the event, the President explained the enormous efforts and the still insufficient

15:14results of the presidential administration in the face of the obstacles imposed on the

15:19islands such as the U.S. blockade and the prevailing injustice in international economic

15:24relations.

15:25In his speech, the President called once again on the heroism, intelligence and creativity

15:31that distinguish the Cuban people to overcome the difficulties faced by the island nation.

15:39Marxists, Martianos and Fidelistas, we will not get tired of fighting against the pro-imperialist

15:50fascist world-like exclusionary predatory currents that threaten humankind and we will

15:56continue to insist on the development of the just and responsible humanist model of solidarity.

16:05The President of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel points out the United States promotes the Israeli

16:09genocide against the Palestinian people and the use of nuclear weapons through the organization

16:13of the North Atlantic Islands.

16:19The threat of nuclear conflagration has been closer than ever before for more than half

16:24a century. The expansionist ambition of the imperialism promoted by the United States

16:29through NATO raises the danger of the use of nuclear weapons in Europe to seriously

16:35worrying limits. Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people with the open support

16:40of the United States and other allies is already one of the most merciless atrocities humanity

16:46has ever known and it is taking place before the eyes of all with the impotence of the

16:52United Nations, the International Court and the many international organizations supposedly

16:58designed to promote and protect human rights.

17:04The Cuban President recalled that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden tried to collapse

17:09the revolution in Cuba with the imposition of the unilateral coercive measures.

17:15The awareness of what has been done in these four years by the outgoing government of the

17:19United States is to bet on the collapse of the revolution through the ruthless application

17:24of a system of coercive measures established by its predecessor to reinforce the economic

17:29blockade.

17:30Also in Cuba, authorities reiterated on Thursday the calls for a popular march in front of

17:38the U.S. Embassy to be held on Friday, December 20, against the blockade. The march, called

17:43by the plenary session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, will take place at

17:49the end of the session of the National Assembly of Peoples Powered, with the aim of expressing

17:55in front of the U.S. Embassy in Havana the condemnations of the economic, commercial

18:00and financial blockade imposed with Washington and the permanence of Cuba in the legitimate

18:05list of countries allegedly supporting terrorism.
