00:29Guatamanan authorities report two deaths and material damages after two earthquakes of Madrid 5.2 and 5.7 in an epicenter in the south of the country.
00:47Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm Luis Alberto Matos from De JesĂşs Studios in Havana, Cuba. We'll be with the news. Stay with us.
00:59Let's go live to Vienna, Austria, where the first high-level roundtable of the Ninth OPEC International Seminar is underway.
01:13Our colleague Jorge Estoso is right there on the venue, ready to share the latest details. Welcome, Jorge.
01:17Thank you very much. This afternoon, in the second plenary session here at the Ninth Seminar of OPEC here, the International in Vienna, one of the participants of a panel about investments for the future was the Vice President of OPEC.
01:45The Vice President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez. She was very clear in her position. She was mentioning, for example, that the world, her words, the world is at war.
02:01And she said, because there were many panelists, three out of the countries that are in this panel, she mentioned Libya, she mentioned Iran and Venezuela.
02:11She said, we are under the target, she mentioned a couple of figures very important. She said, 26% of the production of the world is under sanctions and 46% of the world reserves of oil are under, what is called in Spanish, medidas unilaterales, means unilateral sanctions.
02:39And she said, most definitely, that has been the case of Venezuela, that throughout that unilateral sanctions, that she mentioned 1041 unilateral sanctions since the year 15, 16 and 17, she mentioned, is not letting Venezuela could be able to produce as much oil as they could.
03:03And she said, she was very optimistic.
03:05And she was very optimistic, anyway, that by the year 2027, she said, the first molecule of gas will be exported from Venezuela.
03:13And at the end of her presentation, she concludes about investment.
03:19And her words, she said, the geopolitica, the world geopolitics is key, fundamental, you say, for to grant the production of oil.
03:31Therefore, trying to conclude that we cannot assume that you can grant the production of oil, even though as one of the panelists and one of the members, founder of the OPEP, Telesur is reporting precisely as one of the sponsors of this event, that OPEP is founded by five members, one of them is Venezuela.
03:59How come a country under a number that she mentioned was 1041 unilateral sanctions can review, can present, can guarantee production when in reality, one of these countries she mentioned is at war?
04:19We get back to you now.
04:21Thank you, Jorge, for the information coming from Vienna.
04:25We're going to stay on top of what is happening in this ninth international seminary of OPEC.
04:30For now, let's continue with other news.
04:32In Malaysia, the foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations held Wednesday their plenary meeting in Kuala Lumpur, where they addressed issues of the economy.
04:42During the session of the Heads of Asian Diplomacy, they addressed the high tariffs imposed by Donald Trump, which largely affect the region and the economies of Indonesia and Thailand in particular.
04:52In this regard, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated that there is an urgent need to increase trade among Asian members in order to combat the protectionism that threatens the region's export economy.
05:04Ibrahim also noted that Asia must chart its own course and rejected a divided world where external influence makes decisions about the region.
05:13In this context, the foreign minister of Malaysia, Mohammad Hassan, made a call to achieve peace in Myanmar, arguing that the conflict threatens the region's security.
05:26Closer to home, the crisis in Myanmar continues to weigh heavily on our country.
05:32Despite ASEAN's sustained effort, we have yet to see meaningful progress on the ground.
05:39Delayed peace in Myanmar prolongs the sufferings of the peoples and threatens the region's security.

13:29Emergency crews carried out at least 85 swift water rescues in the Ruidozo area, including
13:34saving people who were trapped in their homes and cars, said Daniel Silva of the New Mexico
13:39Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Death Management.

14:09with temperatures rising 40 degrees Celsius in many places across the country on Tuesday.
14:14The Ministry of Culture informed that the emblematic archaeological site would remain closed to the public
14:19between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. local time in order to protect both visitors and workers from the impact of excessive heat.
14:26In island regions and central areas of the country where thermometers have exceeded 40 degrees Celsius,
14:31mandatory breaks for those working outdoors will be maintained.

14:49And prosecutors in Colombia seized assets belonging to the Anglo-French oil company Perenco in Bogota.
14:54The company is accused of financing a paramilitary group between 1997 and 2005.
14:59According to authorities, there is evidence suggesting that the foreign company financed paramilitary groups,
15:04particularly the now defunct United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia Centauros bloc, for years.
15:10This alleged relationship lasted about eight years, during which the oil company increased its presence and assets in the region.
15:17These assets valued at over $10 million were transferred to the fund for the reparation of victims,
15:22which would use them to compensate civilians affected by paramilitary actions.

16:36The measure states that these agencies will be reassigned to the relevant ministries,
16:40and secretariat staff will retain their positions until further notice.
16:44The elimination was justified by overarching functions and lack of tangible results,
16:49like the National Institute of Tropical Medicine.
16:52The director of the National Institute of Agricultural Technology, Ariel Pereda,
16:55questioned the decree alleging that modernization cannot be synonymous with elimination.
17:00And in Mexico, President Claudia Sheinbaum demanded that the United States government do more

17:23The federal president insisted that Mexico must do its part
17:27and that there must be a necessary collaboration with the United States,
17:30but she demanded that her counterpart, Donald Trump's government, do much more.
