00:03 In Ecuador, President Alnindo Boa
00:10 renewed the state of emergency prior
00:12 to the popular referendum on the Constitution
00:14 and Monetarization Policy.
00:15 In Palestine, the death toll in Israel's genocide
00:20 against Palestinians in Gaza rose to more than 34,000.
00:26 An Iraqi resistance forces attack
00:27 an Israeli targeting response to the violation
00:30 of national sovereignty.
00:31 Hello, welcome to From the South.
00:38 I'm Luis Alberto Matos from the Lesus Studios in Havana, Cuba.
00:41 We begin with the news.
00:42 On Sunday, April 21, Ecuador's President Alnindo Boa
00:45 renewed the state of emergency prior
00:48 to the popular consultations and referendum
00:50 on the Constitution and Monetarization Policy
00:52 in the country.
00:53 The government declared a new state of exception
00:55 justified by the alleged internal disturbance
00:57 caused by the electricity sector emergency, which
01:00 will be in effect for 60 days.
01:02 The presidential decree establishes the activation
01:04 of the armed forces and the national police
01:06 under the promise of guaranteeing
01:08 the security of critical infrastructure facilities.
01:11 This is in spite of the rejection expressed
01:13 by teachers and other sectors of society
01:15 that oppose the policy of monetarization and repression
01:19 taken by the Ecuadorian president,
01:21 considering that it generates greater violence
01:23 than it actually controls.

08:58 In Cuba, the first flight of 49 Cubans
09:00 stranded in Haiti arrived at the
09:02 Ignacio Aguilar Monte International Airport
09:04 of Camaguey.
09:05 The Cuban Foreign Ministry informed that
09:07 in the first phase of the return operation,
09:09 the Cubans traveled in a caravan of buses
09:11 from the capital Port-au-Prince to the city
09:13 of Cape Haitian in the north of the country
09:15 where they traveled by air.
09:17 According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
09:19 of Cuba, the second phase of the operation
09:21 is being implemented from Cape Haitian Airport
09:23 through Sunrise Airlines.
09:24 The operation is coordinated by the Cuban
09:26 Foreign Ministry, the Cuban Embassy in Haiti
09:28 and is permanently accompanied by officials
09:30 from the Cuban diplomatic mission.
09:32 The United States has resumed on Thursday
09:37 the deportation of Haitian nationals
09:39 ignoring the warnings of organizations
09:41 that qualify them as unsafe
09:43 and in violation of minimum guarantees
09:45 offered by international humanitarian law.
09:47 Joe Biden's administration,
09:49 after saving its homeland security chief
09:51 from a motion of censure,
09:53 proceeded to deport 52 citizens
09:55 offering details about the flight.
09:57 The Department of Homeland Security
09:59 ratified that these operations will continue.
10:01 Members of the civil organization
10:03 witnessed at the border informed
10:05 that the flight took off from a base in Louisiana
10:07 and landed in Cape Haiti.
10:09 They denounced that they have even
10:11 deported citizens who have been residing
10:13 in the United States for 20 years,
10:15 ignoring the serious humanitarian situation
10:17 in the Caribbean nation.

10:35 (upbeat music)
11:03 Welcome back.
11:05 In Palestine on Saturday, the number of civilians
11:07 killed by the Israeli occupation forces
11:09 in the framework of their genocidal operation
11:11 against the Gaza Strip rose to more than 34,000.
11:13 According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health,
11:15 at least 37 civilians were killed
11:17 in four Israeli massacres perpetrated
11:19 during the last 24 hours,
11:21 while 68 others were wounded,
11:23 bringing the total number of wounded
11:25 to more than 76,000 since October 2023.
11:27 According to the health agency,
11:29 most of the victims in the Gaza Strip
11:31 are children and women.
11:33 They also warned that they could be even higher
11:35 since many of them remain on the road,
11:37 both infrastructures affected by the persistent
11:39 Israeli bombardments.
11:41 On Saturday, Israeli occupation forces
11:45 closed the entrance of Tur Musaia town
11:47 northeast of Ramallah
11:49 in the occupied West Bank.
11:51 The measure blocks the movement of travelers
11:53 in and out of the city and causes traffic congestions.
11:55 The closures, in addition to other measures
11:57 taken under the pretext of security,
11:59 are aimed at reinforcing Israel's
12:01 57-year military occupation of the West Bank.
12:03 It also seeks to expand its colonial project,
12:05 which it applies with routine
12:07 and often lethal violence
12:09 against Palestinians.
12:11 A new wave of attacks on Palestinian territories
12:17 by Israeli occupation forces
12:19 was reported in the Nur Shams camp
12:21 in the northwest of the West Bank.
12:23 During a new incursion into the Nur Shams refugee camp,
12:25 Tel Aviv troops killed one Palestinian
12:27 and injured several others.
12:29 The inhabitants denounced constant violations
12:31 of their rights, illegal arrests,
12:33 as well as abuses and aggressions
12:35 by the occupying army.
12:37 For their part, the local authorities accused Israel
12:39 of destroying homes and continuously attacking
12:41 civilian targets in the midst of operations
12:43 in the territory.
12:45 This is the first raid
12:49 in which we have been prevented from entering
12:51 the camp from the beginning of the raid until now.
12:53 We have volunteer medical teams
12:55 inside the Nur Shams camp,
12:57 and among them, some young men were injured,
12:59 including a young man who was going to deal
13:01 with one of the martyrs.
13:03 He was shot and wounded in the foot,
13:05 resulting in many bone fractures.
13:07 Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
13:09 described as "immoral" and unjustified
13:11 the video exercise by the United States
13:13 on Thursday against his country's accession
13:15 as a full member of the United Nations.
13:17 Washington's decision, known in advance
13:19 due to a U.S. media leak, has prevented
13:21 Palestine from ceasing to be a mere observer
13:23 and gaining full membership in the United Nations.
13:25 139 countries around the world
13:27 have considered Palestine to be entitled
13:29 to this right, which is why the Palestinian
13:31 President accuses the Biden administration
13:33 of practicing an aggressive policy
13:35 and, more seriously, of violating international
13:37 humanitarian law, as its decision
13:39 will lead to the continuation of the genocidal
13:41 operation against the Palestinian people.
13:43 The Iraqi resistance attack
13:49 on an Israeli target on Saturday
13:51 was a response to the violation of national
13:53 sovereignty and the aggression against the
13:55 camps of the Popular Mobilization Forces.
13:57 The Iraqi resistance thus confirmed
13:59 the launching of drones on a key Israeli
14:01 objective in the city of Eilat.
14:03 In the meantime, they also affirmed
14:05 that these actions are also in support
14:07 of the Palestinian people and against
14:09 the massacres of the Tel Aviv regime
14:11 in the framework of this genocidal
14:13 operation in the Gaza Strip.
14:15 It should be noted that this military
14:17 action materialized after the Iraqi
14:19 resistance camp north of Babylon,
14:21 which houses the headquarters of the army,
14:23 the police, and the Popular Mobilization Forces.

14:49 Welcome back. On Friday,
14:59 the French police deployed an operation
15:01 the 16th around this month of February
15:03 in the vicinity of the Iranian consulate because
15:05 of the presence inside the building of an individual
15:07 suspected of carrying an explosive belt.
15:09 In this way, French police reported
15:11 they arrested the man who threatened to blow himself
15:13 up at the Iranian consulate.
15:15 Reports otherwise indicate
15:17 that the man was seen entering the consulate
15:19 carrying what appeared to be a grenade and an
15:21 explosive vest. France is precisely
15:23 at the maximum level of service alert within the framework
15:25 of 100 days before the Olympic.
15:27 This incident comes amidst tensions
15:29 between Iran and Israel.
15:31 The Chinese government rejects any action
15:37 that causes a rise in tensions in the Middle East
15:39 following Israel's attacks on Iran.
15:41 Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman Lin Yan
15:43 made the remarks during a press conference
15:45 following reports in several U.S. and Israeli
15:47 media of an alleged attack on an
15:49 Iranian airbase. Beijing has reiterated
15:51 in recent weeks that
15:53 increasing hostilities is an extension of the conflict
15:55 in Gaza and therefore the immediate
15:57 priority is to calm the situation
15:59 in the territory. In this regard, the Chinese
16:01 spokesman added that China will continue to
16:03 play a constructive role in de-escalating
16:05 the situation.
16:11 In Nigeria, at least 16 people
16:13 died after the blast of an improvised
16:15 explosive device in the northeast of the country.
16:17 According to authorities, at least 16
16:19 people died and about 20 were injured in an
16:21 explosion that occurred while they were traveling
16:23 in a passenger bus that was hit by
16:25 an explosive device in the town of Kukawa
16:27 in the state of Borno. According
16:29 to the authorities, the investigation of the incident
16:31 is still ongoing as the objective
16:33 was for a military vehicle to drive over
16:35 the device. The region is a
16:37 frequent victim of terrorist groups,
16:39 criminal gangs and the Islamic State of
16:41 West Africa. The growing insecurity in the
16:43 region has resulted in thousands of kidnappings
16:45 at the hands of terrorist groups and other criminal
16:47 gangs who make their living from ransom
16:49 payments following kidnappings.
16:51 On Thursday, during a visit to the Democratic Republic
16:57 of the Congo, UN Human Rights Chief
16:59 Volker Turk said he was concerned
17:01 about the decision of the authorities of that nation
17:03 to reinstate the death penalty.
17:05 In this sense, at the end of a four-day visit
17:07 to the African nation during which he met with
17:09 President Félix Tshisekedi, the United Nations
17:11 High Official referred that the death penalty
17:13 must be abolished worldwide. In March,
17:15 Justice Minister Rose Mutombo announced
17:17 that her government reinstated the
17:19 death penalty against military personnel
17:21 guilty of treason and those guilty of
17:23 urban banditry causing death.
17:25 Thus, the moratorium on the death penalty
17:27 created in 2003 was lifted
17:29 while since then capital punishment pronounced
17:31 mainly in cases involving military personnel
17:33 or members of armed groups has been
17:35 systematically commuted to life imprisonment.
17:37 I am concerned by the government's
17:45 recent decision to lift the moratorium
17:47 on the use of the death penalty.
17:49 The United Nations
17:51 is clear on this.
17:53 The death penalty should be abolished worldwide.
17:55 And in the words of
17:57 Perse, on Thursday, the Puerto Rican
17:59 athlete Aydén Owens qualified
18:01 for the Paris 2004 Olympic Games.
18:03 In this way, the athlete
18:05 obtained his ticket to France
18:07 after completing his participation
18:09 in the Mount Sacrilege held in California,
18:11 United States, with a record
18:13 of 8,732 points.
18:15 In this sense, the 23-year-old
18:17 becomes the 24th delegate
18:19 from Puerto Rico and the second in history
18:21 in this category of athletics after another
18:23 Puerto Rican, Luis Guillanos, represented
18:25 the Caribbean nation in Athens 2004.
