00:57Hello and welcome to From the South.
00:59I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba.
01:02We begin with the news.

01:20countries are sovereign.
01:23President Lula called on the organization to lead a new global development model in the
01:26face of Trump's threat and the climate crisis.
01:30Monday's plenary session focused on the environment and global health.
01:34During the day, pro-tempera President of the BRICS, Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva warned that
01:40denialism and unilateralism are eroding the advances of the past and sabotaging the future of the
01:47peoples.
01:48Lula also warned that global warming is occurring at a faster pace than expected.
01:55The Brazilian head of state also stressed that it is urgent to recover the leading role
01:59of the World Health Organization, a legitimate forum that confront pandemics and defend the
02:05health of the people.
02:16And without the historical liabilities of the developed countries, the BRICS members have
02:22not failed to do their part.
02:26At the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization, we fought together for access
02:33to essential medicines and vaccines to overcome the HIV-AIDS epidemic, malaria, tuberculosis,
02:40and other problems that mainly affect the most vulnerable countries.
02:45At the Cairo and Beijing conferences three decades ago, we reaffirmed the human rights of women
02:53and girls, including sexual and reproductive health.
02:59Today, denialism and unilateralism are eroding the progress of the past and sabotaging our future.
03:08Likewise, BRICS Pro Temporary President pointed out that the advance of global warming is leading
03:13the territories to a point of no return.
03:18Global warming is occurring at a faster rate than predicted.
03:23Tropical forests are being pushed to their point of no return.
03:29The kickoff conference a few weeks ago made it clear that the ocean is feverish.
03:38A decade after the Paris Agreement, resources are lacking for the just and planned transition
03:48that is essential for building a new cycle of prosperity.
03:55Climate change will be the most impacted by losses and damage.
04:01They are also the ones with the least means to pay for mitigation and adaptation.
04:10Climate justice means betting on actions committed to fighting hunger and socio-environmental inequality.
04:16By protecting, conserving and restoring our territories, we also create opportunities for local communities and indigenous peoples.
04:29For his part, during his speech at the 17th BRICS summit, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged world leaders to strengthen multipolarity.
04:37The top Russian diplomat said that developing countries spend more in depth servicing than on investing in their own development,
04:45warning that the situation is getting out of control.
04:48The head of the Russian diplomacy, VFM's firm position on forming a more just multipolar world order under the principles of the United Nations.
05:01A few weeks ago, the President Putin said in his videoconferences on the summit of the BRICS.
05:14The previous system existed to serve to the interests of a billion of gold, called a billion of gold.
05:24In his speech at BRICS summit conference in Rio de Janeiro, also the member of associate countries are also getting together to create a multi-international order,
05:42but said it was not enough to wish for it, but to fight for it.
05:47Let us unite to promote the international order we desire and deserve, one that guarantees peace, provides for the common good and prosperity of peoples,
05:59where the right to development of all countries is realized and is in harmony with nature, an international order where solidarity, cooperation and integration prevail to face the global challenges and threats,
06:13including the environmental crisis, and that promotes real solutions to eradicate hunger, poverty and disease.
06:22But it is not enough to wish for it. Let us fight for it.
06:27On Monday, Beijing responded to threats from US President Donald Trump, who has promised additional 10% tariffs on all countries that support or partner with a BRICS block.
06:38Foreign Affairs Ministry Spokeswoman Mao Ning assured that the group formed by emerging economies is not an initiative against any country, but a positive force in the international community.
06:50Mao confirmed that they oppose the use of tariffs as a tool of pressure and coercion, and reminded that trade wars have no winners.
06:59The BRICS, where the BRICS, where multipolarity sees to be a future aspiration and has become a reality under construction, reached important agreements this Sunday in Brazil that could renew global governance.
07:19The government of Mexico condemned on Monday the imposition of tariffs on BRICS-partner countries by the US administration.
07:26During her regular daily morning press conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that countries should cooperate with each other for the development and well-being of their people.
07:36Let us recall that on Sunday, US President Donald Trump announced that countries that align with the BRICS block will have a 10% increase in tariffs, which will take effect as of August 1.
07:49The Mexican President expressed her disagreement with the mayor and emphasized that her cabinet maintains the negotiations with Washington on the tariff issue.
07:59What's the UK's hand-in-Genge of miners with those countries?
08:03Developing relations between countries should always be one of cooperation for development.
08:10That is our position, it is also a position, not only because of conviction, but also because it is established in our constitution.
08:24that should always be the position of any president of mexico now there is a process
