aggressions of the United States government against the missions of Cuban doctors and
00:19
Pedro Caribe.
00:23
In Myanmar, death toll rises to more than 1,000 after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake shook
00:29
the center of the country on Friday.
00:35
And the Palestinian Resistance Commission warns that Israel has confiscated more than
00:39
52,000 hectares in the occupied West Bank.
00:47
Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur cities in Havana, Cuba.
00:52
We begin with the news.
01:06
In Venezuela, during the 25th ALBA-TCB political council, participants rejected the constant
01:12
aggressions of the United States government against the missions of Cuban doctors and
01:16
Pedro Caribe.
01:17
During the event, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Iván Gil rejected the aggressions promoted
01:22
by the Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, against the cooperation of Cuban
01:27
doctors and the Pedro Caribe initiative, both of which have been beneficial for the development
01:33
of the region.
01:34
Gil also urged to progress in the strategic lines identified by the leaders who participated
01:41
in the last presidential summit, held on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the founding
01:46
of the organization.
01:47
For his part, the Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno RodrĂguez, rejected the increasing
01:52
unilateral coercive measures of Washington against the Caribbean island and several countries
01:58
of the region.
02:05
President Nicolás Maduro rejected the unilateral coercive measures imposed by the Trump administration
02:11
against the Venezuelan productive system, condemning that these actions were requested
02:16
by the Venezuelan extreme right wing.
02:18
During the installation of the National Economic Council, President Maduro made a call to confront
02:23
the economic war announcement promoted by the government of the United States and the
02:28
Venezuelan extreme right wing.
02:30
He also stated that Venezuelan migrants are victims of the sanctions and the economic
02:35
war that forced them to emigrate.
02:38
In this context, the Venezuelan head of state reiterated that in spite of the sanctions
02:42
and the economic blockade, the Venezuelan people have achieved in the first quarter
02:47
of the year an economic growth of 4.5% in the gross domestic product.
03:00
In its opportunity, the criminal economic sanctions condemned by the entire Venezuelan
03:06
public opinion were carefully requested by a few unspeakable individuals who have pretended
03:12
and believed that by causing economic harm, and consequently causing social harm to their
03:17
country, our country which belongs to all Venezuelans, they are going to have a bed
03:40
of roses to reach political power in Venezuela and become the saviors in some cases of national
03:51
history.
03:57
Since the history we have lived through has shown that it is a crime against an entire
04:01
country, against an entire society to have requested or supported sanctions against the
04:10
economy and the healthy functioning of the national productive mechanism.
04:21
Also the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, condemned the violation of human rights
04:25
suffered by the Venezuelan migrants in El Salvador.
04:33
Venezuelan migrants are doubly victims.
04:36
In Venezuela, we're victims of the sanctions and the economic war that forced them to migrate
04:41
as economic migrants, and now they're victims of an embarrassment by pretending to qualify
04:47
them as members of a gang of murderers, the Trinidad-Aragua criminal group that was defeated
04:53
in our country, and pretending to qualify, as the Nazis did with the Jews, all Venezuelan
04:59
migration as a migration of criminals.
05:02
This is not a migration of criminals.
05:05
I come out in defense of Venezuelan migrants.
05:07
It is an economic migration of decent, productive, working people.
05:18
In El Salvador, Cristo Sal, a 25-year-old human rights organization, has issued a report
05:24
deeming the deportation of Venezuelans from the United States to prisons in El Salvador
05:29
as illegal.
05:30
Moreover, they say the refusal by the administration of President Nayib Bukele to disclose the
05:35
identity of the said prisoners is a violation of human rights, according to international
05:41
law which tantamounts to a forced disappearance or kidnap.
05:45
They argue that no person can be arrested in anonymity for it is a violation of basic
05:50
rights like communicating with relatives and lawyers or receiving visitors while in prison.
06:00
And now we have a short break coming up, but first remember you can join us on TikTok at
06:04
TELUS or English, where you'll find news in different formats, news updates and more.
06:08
We'll be right back, stay with us.
06:15
Welcome back.
06:29
Myanmar authorities reported that the death toll after the 7.7 magnitude earthquake exceeded
06:34
1,000 people.
06:35
Authorities confirmed that the number of people injured is estimated to be over 3,000 in the
06:41
Mandalay region, while in the towns of Sagaing and Kyakuse, at least 300 people have been
06:48
reported missing under the rubble.
06:50
The authorities also declared a state of emergency in the regions of Sagaing, Magwe, Shang, among
06:56
others, for being the most affected by the disaster.
06:59
Meanwhile, search and rescue efforts continue for those missing due to the collapse of buildings
07:05
and cracks in the ground.
07:14
The death toll will increase.
07:16
In some places, buildings collapsed and rescue operations continue.
07:24
I also went and checked.
07:26
I would like to request our people to support and help us, as we need to provide rescue
07:31
operations widely.
07:39
I have declared a state of emergency in all affected regions and opened all assistance
07:44
from other countries.
07:48
Recently, there have been emergency aid from the AHA Centre, ASEAN Coordination Centre
07:56
for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management, and I allowed India to send aid to us.
08:08
I would like to invite every organization, every people to provide aid.
08:17
The governments of China and India sent emergency humanitarian aid to Myanmar after the earthquake
08:22
that shook the country on Friday.
08:25
The government of China allocated at least $14 million in aid, rescue equipment, emergency
08:30
supplies, food and drinking water.
08:33
Likewise, the Chinese Red Cross sent an initial batch of aid, including tents, sleeping blankets,
08:39
folding beds and assistance packages for at least 2,000 affected families.
08:44
For its part, the government of India sent its first batch of 15 tonnes of aid, which
08:49
included rescue materials, tents, food, hygiene kits and essential medicines, as well as medical
08:55
equipment.
08:56
The authorities of these countries indicated that they will continue to send additional
09:01
supplies to attend to the damage caused by the catastrophe.
09:07
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent his condolences to the families and
09:15
people of Myanmar for the earthquake that hit the nation on Friday, March 28.
09:20
The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations confirmed that about 120 rescue workers have
09:26
been sent to the Southeast Asian.
09:29
According to an official report, the Russian team includes personnel from the Airborne
09:34
Unit, medical staff and canine teams who are collaborating with Myanmar authorities on
09:39
rescue operations in their country.
09:53
In other news, in Bolivia, the Ministry of Health launched a campaign aimed at facilitating
09:58
the diagnosis of cervical cancer, the most common type of cancer in the country, using
10:02
molecular technology.
10:04
The aim is to detect the curable disease in time.
10:07
Correspondent Fede Morales tells us the details.
10:13
To the permanent campaign aimed at early detection of cervical cancer, the Bolivian government
10:19
has added molecular technology that allows two diagnoses, called co-testing, to be performed
10:25
in a single session.
10:26
The sample collection is unique and allows us to perform the diagnosis with both tests
10:33
in order not to inconvenience our patients and, especially, to give them the security
10:37
of only taking the sample on a single occasion.
10:40
With this reality, co-testing is practically accessible to all women.
10:50
With the incorporation of new technology, it is hoped that women will be more confident
10:54
in coming forward for the tests, which are recommended to be performed once a year.
11:03
We only took the sample for the pap smear by looking at the cytology, the cellular characteristics
11:07
that we could see in the tissue that we could see in the uterine cervix, and, in this case,
11:11
what we do is to complement it with a molecular biology test.
11:14
If we find the papillomavirus, we have the possibility of identifying the genotype, which
11:18
is the main cause of cancer.
11:22
For the time being, the new technology is applied at the Inlesa Institute, where samples
11:29
are also received from all over the country, which are also taken and process-free of charge.
11:37
The health personnel are trained so that they can make a correct sampling to make the molecular
11:41
diagnosis because, nowadays, we are talking about molecular biology for the diagnosis
11:46
of the human papillomavirus.
11:48
And how do we combine this information with the pap smear?
11:57
The state campaign against cervical cancer, in addition to free diagnosis, includes the
12:02
vaccination of girls and boys from 12 to 15 years of age for prevention purposes and in
12:07
the perspective of controlling the papillomavirus.
12:14
This campaign is called 90-70-90.
12:17
It is related to what really matters to us women.
12:20
The measures for us are that 90-70-90.
12:26
It's as simple as that.
12:27
Those are our measures.
12:28
It's 90% of girls vaccinated against human papillomavirus between the ages of 10 and
12:33
15, 70% of women having a high-yield test at age 35 and again at age 45, and 90% of
12:41
women with cervical disease receiving treatment.
12:50
Cervical cancer affects more than 13,000 women each year.
12:54
The male is the transmitting agent of the disease, which is why they are included in
12:58
the vaccination program.
13:00
To facilitate the fight against this disease, the government authorized, several years ago,
13:05
that women should have a working day for the sole purpose of going for the test to detect
13:09
the disease.
13:16

14:01
The Palestinian Resistance Commission warns that Israel has confiscated more than 52,000
14:07
hectares in the occupied West Bank in the midst of the commemoration of the 49th anniversary
14:11
of the Land Day in Palestine.
14:14
The organization denounced the illegal seizure of properties by Israel, in addition to the
14:18
issuance of military orders for buffer zones around the settlements, while establishing
14:24
16 new security checkpoints.
14:26
The agency detailed that through these buffer zones, the Tel Aviv regime is attempting to
14:32
prevent residents from accessing their homes.
14:36
In an attempt to evict them from their land, dozens of Palestinians are forced to evacuate
14:41
the area to protect their lives.
14:49
In Palestine, Israeli forces killed six people during an airstrike on the Abbasan Al-Kabira
14:54
area east of Kanjenis.
14:57
Rescue teams worked to recover the victims trapped under the rubble, while the wounded
15:01
were transferred to the emergency services.
15:04
Since the resumption of the Israeli aggressions against the Gaza Strip on March 18th, more
15:09
than 830 Palestinians have been reported dead and another 1,787 wounded.
15:16
The resumption of hostilities aggravates the humanitarian crisis, which occurred after
15:20
the prohibition of the entry of medical aid and supplies to the territory.
15:30
The Israeli army attacked suburbs south of Beirut in a raid against a drone warehouse
15:35
belonging to Hezbollah.
15:37
The Israeli occupation issued an evacuation alert minutes before the attack, in an area
15:42
of 300 meters around the intended target.
15:46
Following the attack, Lebanese authorities warned that Israel is carrying out a dangerous
15:51
escalation in southern Lebanon, while announcing the closure of schools in the targeted area.
15:56
Tel Aviv justified its attacks as a response to alleged attacks carried out by the Lebanese
16:03
resistance.
16:04
However, senior Hezbollah commanders denied having participated in the alleged attacks
16:08
against Israel.
16:16
We were working in the factory and they sent a warning saying they would bomb there first.
16:22
We were next to a school and the children started coming out.
16:26
They were terrified, they bombed the area three times.
16:34
People panicked, especially because there are two schools next to each other and the
16:38
area is always crowded at that time, so people ran to get their children.
16:45
In Italy, organizations warned that agriculture and livestock farming are at a critical stage
16:50
due to the drought affecting south of the country.
16:53
Through a press release, the Italian Confederation of Direct Farmers said the damages due to
16:59
the current water crisis in four regions south of the country amount to 9 million euros.
17:05
They also warned that the situation could worsen and spread to other areas of the country,
17:10
so they have urged for an increase in rainwater harvesting capacity to warranty a supply for
17:17
irrigation, livestock and hydroelectric power generation.
17:24
In China, a fashion show focused on the traditional style of Guizhou province took place as part
17:42
of the International Fashion Week in Beijing.
17:45
On Friday, Miao and Dong youth from Qiandongnan paraded ethnic style jewelry and embroidered
17:52
costumes, capturing the attention of the public.
17:55
At least 12 brands contributed to the cultural event, where local designers had the opportunity
18:01
to connect with the ancient traditions of their ancestors while showcasing oriental
18:06
fashion and beauty through modern avant-garde designs.
18:13
