00:00
Welcome back to From the South, and we will continue in Venezuela, where the World Loaf
00:09
Fascist Festival continues on its last day, a day after the inauguration of President
00:15
Nicolás Maduro for the term 2025-2031.
00:19
Our special envoy, Juno Sonner, has all the details, and he's live from Caracas.
00:25
Welcome, Juno.
00:26
Hello.
00:28
Hello, good afternoon from the La Carota Convention Center.
00:32
It's a little bit noisy around me, loud music, because President Nicolás Maduro has just
00:39
arrived at this convention center, I'm informed.
00:43
Or it is expected to arrive.
00:46
But let's take a moment still to discuss with our special guest here the situation
00:53
of fascism, global fascism.
00:58
And we have a guest here that is from Greece.
01:04
We have the guest, Aris Georgios.
01:08
Thank you very much for joining us.
01:10
Fascism is a huge topic in Europe as well.
01:14
How do you perceive fascism from a Greek perspective?
01:20
Well, Greece is known for its democracy, for its ancient times, but in modern times Greece
01:26
has been a victim of fascism.
01:28
It has been a victim of Nazi German occupation and their collaborators and military dictatorships
01:34
later.
01:35
So we have a very clear outlook on fascism and the imposing of imperialism and fascism
01:43
in Greece from abroad.
01:46
Now in Europe there is an emerging far right which has a totally new characteristic.
01:51
They are trying to hide and abolish their neo-fascist roots, but still they support
02:00
anti-immigration, Zionism, racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, machismo, sexismo and so on.
02:11
So at this moment I think that this congress is really inspiring.
02:15
That was exactly what I was going to ask you about.
02:19
How is your impression about this international, anti-fascist international?
02:23
You see, in one word, inspiring.
02:26
So at the same time when you have the neo-liberal globalization which is the status quo of things
02:34
for the past 20 years and at the same time you have an emerging global far right that
02:40
has, as I said, new characteristics.
02:42
It's very important to note that there are countries that resist imperialism and fascism
02:49
such as Venezuela and also to meet each other and give support and receive support from
02:58
one another, all the comrades from all the countries that resist.
03:02
I mean, I can only say that I've gained so much and I've gained so much courage from
03:08
this congress and we welcome the hospitality.
03:11
Thank you very much.
03:12
Thank you very much.
03:13
Now this is an impression that our guest has expressed, but that we also got from other
03:19
people, other participants, delegates here on the conference that the existence and the
03:26
victory of the Bolivarian revolution here in Venezuela has influences, has consequences
03:34
beyond its borders providing hope.
03:37
Venezuela has with this conference itself established as a center of global fight against
03:44
fascism which this congress, this international global festival has emphasized and showed,
03:52
displayed once again.
03:53
You have the word.
03:55
Thank you, Yunus, for the information and also the special guest that we have today.
04:01
Thank you very much.
04:04
And now we continue with the news.
04:06
In Palestine, Israeli occupation forces killed at least 32 civilians and injured 193 others
04:13
across Gaza in the past 48 hours.
04:16
Spokespersons for Gaza's civil defense said that Israel aims to kill as many civilians
04:22
and medical personnel as it can as it continues its devastating war.
04:29
In this context, three Israeli military infantry battalions will be sent to reinforce troops
04:35
numbers in the north of the occupied West Bank.
04:39
In this context, Palestinian viewers, this Saturday, two photojournalists and Amjad who
04:54
was assassinated while reporting the reality of the Israeli war against the population
05:00
of the Gaza Strip.
05:01
The Palestinian Journalists Union has called on the international community and world organizations
05:07
to put pressure on Israel to stop its aggressions in the coastal enclave.
05:12
With all word, they reiterate their commitment to continue reporting the truth and exposing
05:19
them apparent in the crimes of the occupation.
05:21
According to their government media office in the Gaza Strip, since some 203 journalists
05:27
have been killed by Israel since October 7, 2023.
05:32
This is a known policy used by the Israeli occupation.
05:39
It, Israel, cannot rest as long as Palestinian journalists continue to expose its crimes
05:45
to the world.
05:46
We, as journalists, are demanding the protection that is supposed to be a guaranteed.
05:56
We wear a press vest, yet we still find no protection or an environment conducive for
06:01
us to do our job.
06:04
We are being directly targeted, as it was the case with Said and many other colleagues
06:09
who were martyred over the past 15 months of this Israeli war.
06:15
In Palestine, a body was recovered after Israeli shelling in the town of Qusaha east of Qanyounis
06:23
in the southern Gaza Strip.
06:25
Moreover, several bodies have disappeared as a result of the meltdown due to the amount
06:31
of explosives fired by the Israeli army.
06:34
In the first nine days of 2025, Israeli forces killed an estimated 490 Palestinians.
06:44
Palestinian authorities announced a worsening of the humanitarian crisis.
06:53
Food and medicine shortages are due to Israel's impediment to entry of humanitarian aid to
07:00
the Gaza Strip.
07:01
The United Nations organization warns that a war in the Gaza Strip has a catastrophic
07:06
impact on children and their families because they do not have safe spaces to seek shelter.
07:14
In Syria, residents denounced incursions by the Israeli occupation army from the border
07:25
to the Al-Dariyat military post.
07:28
Israeli occupation entered villages in southwestern Syria with tanks, Kalam, and trained the abandoned
07:35
facilities of the Syrian Southern Army tanks brigade in Quneitra.
07:40
According to the civilian testimony, Israeli armored vehicles and bulldozers began rising
07:45
and plundering land to create a military road and facilitate Saudi's invasion of the territory.
07:58
According to the UN, the world has experienced an average temperature increase of more than
08:03
1.5 Celsius over the past two years.
08:07
A symbolic limit set by the Paris Agreement to Combat Climate Change.
08:12
The Copernicus European Climate Observatory has confirmed that 2024 was the warmest year
08:19
since records began in 1850.
08:24
According to UN Secretary-General AntĂłnio Guterres, the situation calls for drastic climate actions.

08:57
Welcome back.
08:58
In South Korea, thousands gathered on Saturday in rival demonstrations in the capital as
09:03
investigators prepared another attempt to arrest impeached President Jung Suk-il over
09:09
his short-lived martial law decree.
09:12
The rallies took place despite freezing temperatures in Seoul after the president received an arrest
09:18
last week.
09:19
Jung faced criminal charges of insurrection for ordering the seizure of the National Parliament
09:26
on December 3, 2024, to unsuccessfully prevent deputies from voting against the martial law
09:31
promoted by the executive.
09:32
The court said January 14th as the date for the beginning of the trial of the head of
09:37
state, which would take place even in his absence, and from which he could be sentenced
09:42
to prison or even death.
09:44
The U.S. Attorney's Office requests the sentence of at least 15 years in prison against former
09:57
Democrat Senator Bob Menendez after he was accused of bribery and corruption.
10:02
The demand of the U.S. Attorney's Office comes after Menendez was found guilty on July 16,
10:09
2024, of the 16 charges against him.
10:12
According to the document presented to the court, the U.S. politician abused his power
10:16
as a senator, damaging the public trust and involved other officials in his acts of corruption.
10:24
For his part, Menendez pleaded not guilty of all charges and has occurred to delay his
10:30
sentencing until the trial of his wife is completed for the same cases.
10:52
Moving on, in the United States, volunteers set up a pop-up community donation center
10:58
in Pasadena to provide water, food, clothing and essential supplies to those affected by
11:07
the earthquake that erupted on Tuesday.
11:10
The initiative started on Wednesday when a small group of volunteers began distributing
11:16
hot dogs to firefighters and things to social media.
11:19
It quickly evolved into a full-scale donation effort.
11:24
Los Angeles is being avenged by five different big blazes.
11:29
The largest, the Palisades Fire, northwest of nation's second most populous city, has
11:37
consumed 86 square kilometers.
11:39
The second, at 56 square kilometers, is the Ethan Fire in Altadena.
11:45
Authorities say the fires are 8 percent and 3 percent contained prospectively.
11:51
The three much smaller blazes have been partially contained.
11:54
Today, at least 11 people were known to have died.
12:04
Russia's defense ministry said that approximately 13,370 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in at
12:13
least the last week.
12:15
The Russian army reported that over the last week it carried out 28 guided weapons and
12:21
drone strikes on a military airfield, facilities, ammunition depots, factories and drone workshops
12:28
in Ukraine.
12:29
The Russian Northern Force Group said it continued the destruction of Ukrainian troops in the
12:36
Russian Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces lost over 2,835 soldiers.
12:42
Russian units advanced deep into the Ukrainian defenses and liberated the Dashenkiv town
12:49
in Donetsk region.
12:57
