Detecting language using up to the first 30 seconds. Use `--language` to specify the language Detected language: Spanish [00:00.000 --> 00:07.000] Peace with justice and dignity, a citizen mobilization against impunity, violence and militarization. [00:07.000 --> 00:13.000] Organizers expect thousands of people to participate during the nine-day tour through various cities in the country. [00:13.000 --> 00:17.000] Our hearts are sprouting flowers in the middle of the night. [00:17.000 --> 00:28.000] The wounded heart responds to the pain with flowers, which are forms of love, of comfort, as I have called this caravan, [00:28.000 --> 00:32.000] of the union, of being with the loneliness of others. [00:32.000 --> 00:38.000] And it is the response to the night that they have imposed on us in this war. [00:41.000 --> 00:45.000] In Central America, the bloodshed has become everyday. [00:45.000 --> 00:51.000] Guatemala is considered one of the most violent countries in Latin America and the world. [00:51.000 --> 00:59.000] Here, unfortunately, the drug traffickers had taken as their center of operations the headquarter of Alta Verapaz [00:59.000 --> 01:06.000] and gave themselves the luxury of walking with long weapons, intimidating the population. [01:06.000 --> 01:12.000] One of the first actions taken by the Guatemalan army in the context of the state of Egypt [01:12.000 --> 01:16.000] was to regain control of the landing strip of Cobán-Alta Verapaz. [01:16.000 --> 01:23.000] According to intelligence reports, up to 30 daily landings occurred here without any kind of air control. [01:23.000 --> 01:29.000] In general, the Central American region has been submerged in bloody events since the 1980s, [01:29.000 --> 01:36.000] when atrocious crimes were perpetrated and hundreds of cases of forced disappearances, still unsolved. [01:36.000 --> 01:41.000] These are practices that continue to affect hundreds of families in the region. [01:41.000 --> 01:46.000] He disappeared and we have not known anything at all. [01:46.000 --> 01:53.000] Since he disappeared, we have looked for him in all the neighborhoods of the northeastern area [01:53.000 --> 01:55.000] and we have not found him. [01:55.000 --> 02:01.000] We have not found him in the morgue, nor in the hospitals, nor in the clinics, nor in the post offices, [02:01.000 --> 02:05.000] nor anywhere, they do not give information about him. [02:05.000 --> 02:12.000] A report from the People's Defense of Bogotá revealed that 11 children were murdered in Arauca in October of the year. [02:12.000 --> 02:21.000] Among them are three brothers whose confessed crime is attributed to those who should precisely protect the integrity of these inhabitants. [02:21.000 --> 02:25.000] While the government says that the responsible military was already sanctioned, [02:25.000 --> 02:29.000] the community thinks and demands that the truth be clarified. [02:29.000 --> 02:32.000] For them, this crime was not committed by a single man. [02:32.000 --> 02:38.000] To know the truth, why did they do it, what was the reason, what did my children owe me to be killed? [02:38.000 --> 02:42.000] If they were going to kill my children, why didn't they kill me? [02:42.000 --> 02:49.000] While the previous government seems to make up results, the pain of the victims' families is increasing. [02:49.000 --> 03:02.000] Even more so, in the face of laws that are far from doing justice to victims, it guarantees impunity to the victims. [03:02.000 --> 03:10.000] Domestic violence and degeneration are social ills that continue to affect the seats of Latin Americans and Latin American women. [03:10.000 --> 03:17.000] I received verbal and physical abuse. [03:17.000 --> 03:25.000] It was apparently a matter of age, the difference in age. [03:25.000 --> 03:31.000] He was about 20 years older and he was jealous. [03:31.000 --> 03:40.000] That made him control me, I started to change. [03:40.000 --> 03:42.000] He didn't like that anymore. [03:42.000 --> 03:50.000] So when I answered him, he hit me and we spent a lot of time, there were even threats of death. [03:55.000 --> 04:02.000] Almost 3,000 people died in the attack on the Twin Towers of New York in September 2001, [04:02.000 --> 04:06.000] an attack that shook the world a decade ago. [04:06.000 --> 04:11.000] The United States then began the war against terrorism. [04:11.000 --> 04:19.000] Afghanistan first and then Iraq were invaded with the support of a coalition of countries as part of a strategy [04:19.000 --> 04:26.000] whose manifest objectives have been not only the annihilation of those responsible along with their beliefs, [04:26.000 --> 04:32.000] but also the imposition of a democratic model under American surveillance. [04:32.000 --> 04:41.000] Conservative figures speak of 137,000 civilian deaths in these nations destroyed by ten years of war. [04:41.000 --> 04:45.000] One in three Afghans lives today in absolute poverty. [04:45.000 --> 04:55.000] In the last decade, the world witnessed what the American military committed against the prisoners of the Iraqi prison in Abu Ghraib. [04:55.000 --> 05:04.000] Ten years after the attack, there is a veil of doubt about the veracity of the attack on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. [05:04.000 --> 05:13.000] The weapons of mass destruction were never found, whose search and extermination determined the invasion of Iraq. [05:13.000 --> 05:20.000] The situation of the inmates in some prisons in Latin America puts into question the effectiveness of confinement [05:20.000 --> 05:25.000] as a formula for the rehabilitation and re-socialization of human beings. [05:25.000 --> 05:29.000] Settlement is one of the biggest problems of Chilean prisons. [05:29.000 --> 05:36.000] In this enclosure, which has capacity for 2,500 inmates, today more than 6,200 people are deprived of their freedom. [05:36.000 --> 05:43.000] The people, their scale of values falls to the lowest, the lowest, the most intimate. [05:43.000 --> 05:47.000] That is why they are looking for a way out. [05:47.000 --> 05:55.000] These people, through drugs, chikotas, frunitrazepam, base packs, [05:55.000 --> 06:01.000] those who have access to them, to be able to alienate themselves a little from this reality. [06:01.000 --> 06:08.000] In 2011, it has also witnessed a reality of global reach, perhaps more hopeful. [06:08.000 --> 06:17.000] Under the name of Indignados, thousands of citizens have spoken out against the serious effects of neoliberal politics in their daily lives. [06:17.000 --> 06:23.000] It was the month of May when the government of the United States of America, [06:23.000 --> 06:31.000] without a home, without work, without pension and without fear, raised the first voices in Spain. [06:31.000 --> 06:36.000] A few months later, other voices would be heard in the United States. [06:36.000 --> 06:40.000] More than 60 localities in this country welcomed this mobilization. [06:40.000 --> 06:43.000] Citizens also united in other European cities. [06:43.000 --> 06:47.000] They protested in front of the headquarters of the Spanish embassies. [06:47.000 --> 06:53.000] Under the same motto, Real Democracy Now. [06:53.000 --> 06:59.000] The camp they have established serves as a press room, dining room and dormitory. [06:59.000 --> 07:03.000] Day and night, they remain here, always watched by the police. [07:03.000 --> 07:09.000] The so-called Indignados New Yorkers have been on the streets since September 17. [07:09.000 --> 07:12.000] They have said that their protests will continue here, [07:12.000 --> 07:18.000] peacefully and indefinitely. [07:18.000 --> 07:22.000] For many people, Wall Street means a problem in this world. [07:22.000 --> 07:24.000] Wall Street is out of control. [07:24.000 --> 07:29.000] It is throwing us out of our homes, for example, with mortgages. [07:29.000 --> 07:33.000] It is putting us in more and more debt. [07:33.000 --> 07:39.000] Students who graduate from the university can no longer pay their debts. [07:39.000 --> 07:42.000] This is like an oasis in New York City. [07:42.000 --> 07:45.000] It is very cold, people are very aggressive, everyone is busy. [07:45.000 --> 07:48.000] We have been in this movement for 54 days. [07:48.000 --> 07:52.000] I was here on the first day reporting for TeleSul [07:52.000 --> 07:57.000] about the beginning of this movement of Occupy Wall Street. [07:57.000 --> 08:02.000] Beyond the economic and social crisis that affects most of the planet, [08:02.000 --> 08:06.000] minorities such as migrants, the sexually diverse community, [08:06.000 --> 08:10.000] young people, women and children, victims of abuse, [08:10.000 --> 08:15.000] raise their voices to demand justice, respect for their lives and preferences, [08:15.000 --> 08:22.000] and demand the right to a dignified place in the world. [08:33.000 --> 08:35.000] Our country is very poor. [08:35.000 --> 08:37.000] We fight for our lives. [08:37.000 --> 08:42.000] Immigration wants to take us, but we are not thieves. [08:42.000 --> 08:45.000] We are nothing, but they should take us. [08:45.000 --> 08:49.000] They are thieves, drug traffickers, but we fight for our lives. [08:49.000 --> 08:53.000] Kidnappings and extortions are the most latent risks, [08:53.000 --> 08:56.000] but the least reported. [08:56.000 --> 08:58.000] From this point on, [08:58.000 --> 09:02.000] the highest rates of assault against migrants have been recorded. [09:02.000 --> 09:06.000] In addition, operatives of migratory authorities have been recorded, [09:06.000 --> 09:10.000] where they have detected and arrested many of them. [09:10.000 --> 09:14.000] Ricardo Martínez, TeleSul, Oaxaca, Mexico. [09:26.000 --> 09:30.000] And sometimes at night, when they were in their room, [09:30.000 --> 09:34.000] if I stayed with someone, or if I spoke for myself, [09:34.000 --> 09:39.000] I would ask them to give me a kiss and to stick out their tongue. [09:39.000 --> 09:41.000] Literally. [09:44.000 --> 09:47.000] Do you know what it is to have love? [09:47.000 --> 09:52.000] To crush it, to close it, to hide the fact that you don't feel anything. [09:52.000 --> 09:56.000] Or a lot of people who get married and are hiding it, [09:56.000 --> 09:59.000] and are thinking and wishing for something else. [09:59.000 --> 10:02.000] Because they naturalized the unnatural, [10:02.000 --> 10:05.000] because being homosexual is natural. [10:05.000 --> 10:07.000] It's in our nature. [10:07.000 --> 10:11.000] The project will allow two people to unite in marriage, [10:11.000 --> 10:14.000] regardless of gender or sex, [10:14.000 --> 10:18.000] that they can choose by the order of their last names, [10:18.000 --> 10:23.000] that they can, in either case, decide to cut that link, [10:23.000 --> 10:26.000] and that they have equal responsibilities [10:26.000 --> 10:28.000] in terms of children and their children. [10:28.000 --> 10:31.000] Respect and equality are the values that move these young people, [10:31.000 --> 10:35.000] and not so young people, who find in music, art and culture [10:35.000 --> 10:39.000] their way of interacting in a society that is constantly evolving. [10:42.000 --> 10:45.000] I tried, through all the media, to denounce Nelina, [10:45.000 --> 10:48.000] and the only thing that mattered to me was that I took her out of the group. [10:48.000 --> 10:51.000] Because Romina was totally on the lookout to see who was talking about her, [10:51.000 --> 10:55.000] who was joining, if they were schoolboys, if they were people who knew her. [10:55.000 --> 10:58.000] I had three nights that I didn't sleep. [10:58.000 --> 11:02.000] If I slept with the light on, obviously it's worse for her. [11:02.000 --> 11:05.000] If you, as a father, have a bad time, [11:05.000 --> 11:08.000] imagine a boy over ten years old. [11:08.000 --> 11:14.000] These are problems that usually remain silenced and hidden for years. [11:14.000 --> 11:19.000] The fear of the victims in the face of the indifference of those who must impart justice, [11:19.000 --> 11:22.000] the intolerance of many towards the difference, [11:22.000 --> 11:26.000] or how uncomfortable it is to be able to face these issues, [11:26.000 --> 11:28.000] are part of the problem. [11:28.000 --> 11:33.000] Telesur opens a space to begin to make visible these realities [11:33.000 --> 11:35.000] with which we live together every day. [11:36.000 --> 11:40.000] We take our first break, and in the next part we will continue to review [11:40.000 --> 11:43.000] the realities of our peoples during the year 2011. [11:43.000 --> 12:11.000] Stay tuned, we'll be right back. [12:11.000 --> 12:18.000] Because our commitment is to keep our people informed. [12:18.000 --> 12:20.000] From Tuesday to Saturday, [12:20.000 --> 12:27.000] Telesur News speaks to the countries of the Portuguese language. [12:27.000 --> 12:35.000] Stay up to date with the events of America and the world in your language. [12:35.000 --> 12:41.000] Telesur News in Portuguese, from Tuesday to Saturday, only on Telesur. [13:05.000 --> 13:10.000] We are back in this special of realities with the most relevant of the year 2011. [13:11.000 --> 13:15.000] In 2010, millions of people turned their gaze to Africa, [13:15.000 --> 13:19.000] where the 19th World Cup was held. [13:19.000 --> 13:22.000] A year later, the mother continent makes news again [13:22.000 --> 13:26.000] by uncovering a reality that had been warned, [13:26.000 --> 13:31.000] famine caused by the strong drought in the Horn of Africa. [13:31.000 --> 13:33.000] Hundreds of children die every day, [13:33.000 --> 13:37.000] at least 50% of them suffer from malnutrition. [13:37.000 --> 13:40.000] About 12 million people are at risk. [13:40.000 --> 13:43.000] Thousands have left their homes fleeing from starvation, [13:43.000 --> 13:46.000] but also from wars. [13:51.000 --> 13:53.000] We need food, not shots. [13:53.000 --> 13:55.000] My family can't take it anymore. [13:55.000 --> 13:57.000] Several of my children died when they arrived here, [13:57.000 --> 14:00.000] and now we don't have enough help to survive. [14:00.000 --> 14:03.000] We are in the biggest pediatric center in Somalia. [14:03.000 --> 14:06.000] Up to here, tens of children arrive, [14:06.000 --> 14:10.000] with problems related to malnutrition and diarrhea. [14:10.000 --> 14:13.000] But in recent days, this number has increased, [14:13.000 --> 14:15.000] due not only to the food crisis, [14:15.000 --> 14:18.000] but also to the various fights that occur throughout the country. [14:20.000 --> 14:24.000] My children don't have a reliable source of food due to drought. [14:24.000 --> 14:27.000] We trust in wild fruits to survive. [14:27.000 --> 14:30.000] When these wild fruits are over, [14:30.000 --> 14:32.000] we have no alternative but to die. [14:34.000 --> 14:38.000] In America, the problem was completely opposite to drought. [14:38.000 --> 14:41.000] We suffered from excessive rains. [14:44.000 --> 14:47.000] 40,000 cattle have drowned due to the rains, [14:47.000 --> 14:51.000] and 20% of the cultivated area in Colombia has been lost. [14:51.000 --> 14:54.000] This is why the country's farmers have their hopes planted [14:54.000 --> 14:56.000] in the National Disaster Decree. [14:56.000 --> 14:58.000] We are extracting an average of 1,500 liters of milk, [14:58.000 --> 15:00.000] and now we are more or less at 500 liters, [15:00.000 --> 15:04.000] because the cattle have had to be taken to different places, [15:04.000 --> 15:07.000] because you can't leave everything in the water. [15:07.000 --> 15:10.000] And the other crops, we were cultivating corn, [15:10.000 --> 15:12.000] which was lost, and the oats were also lost. [15:13.000 --> 15:17.000] The earthquakes have also affected vulnerable populations. [15:19.000 --> 15:22.000] The Haitian population tries to survive the misery, the hunger, [15:22.000 --> 15:26.000] the diseases, the poverty, the shadow of the earthquake. [15:26.000 --> 15:29.000] The first population in the world to get rid of slavery, [15:29.000 --> 15:32.000] to become independent, today with fewer resources, [15:32.000 --> 15:36.000] with a mission to stabilize the United Nations in the streets, [15:36.000 --> 15:40.000] tries to change their political destiny. [15:40.000 --> 15:44.000] Apart from the shortage of food caused by climate effects, [15:44.000 --> 15:47.000] another problem could exacerbate hunger. [15:47.000 --> 15:53.000] Powerful transnational companies are imposing the use of transgenic seeds, [15:53.000 --> 15:55.000] genetically manipulated, [15:55.000 --> 15:59.000] which not only attack human health and the peasant economy, [15:59.000 --> 16:03.000] but they constitute a serious threat to our greatest wealth, [16:03.000 --> 16:06.000] the enormous diversity that we have. [16:06.000 --> 16:09.000] This project aggravates things much more, [16:09.000 --> 16:13.000] because in fact it is put at the service of large companies, [16:13.000 --> 16:17.000] mainly seed companies, [16:17.000 --> 16:21.000] or transnational companies such as Monsanto, for example. [16:21.000 --> 16:26.000] The industry is so expansive that in the end we will end up paying [16:26.000 --> 16:30.000] all the peasants because they contaminated us. [16:30.000 --> 16:35.000] They are products or crops that eventually allow us to use less water, [16:35.000 --> 16:38.000] use less fertilizer, less insecticide, [16:38.000 --> 16:41.000] and therefore contaminate less the environment. [16:41.000 --> 16:45.000] And together with them they also allow a greater production. [16:45.000 --> 16:49.000] What their promoters do not tell is that they are products [16:49.000 --> 16:52.000] whose health effects have not yet been proven. [16:52.000 --> 16:55.000] Not only could they cause damage to health, [16:55.000 --> 16:58.000] but they also attack biodiversity [16:58.000 --> 17:02.000] and tie up those who embark on this business economically. [17:02.000 --> 17:05.000] Millions of Creoles and natives are in danger of death. [17:05.000 --> 17:09.000] That is what small farmers, peasants and peasants of Chile think, [17:09.000 --> 17:12.000] who are willing to come to the last consequences [17:12.000 --> 17:15.000] to oppose the law project promoted by the government. [17:15.000 --> 17:18.000] While the imposition of transgenics continues, [17:18.000 --> 17:21.000] ironically poverty and hunger also knock on the door [17:21.000 --> 17:24.000] of countless inhabitants of the United States, [17:24.000 --> 17:28.000] one of the most powerful countries in the world. [17:28.000 --> 17:31.000] In the case of us poor people, [17:31.000 --> 17:35.000] capitalism has destroyed our lives, our families, [17:35.000 --> 17:38.000] because we have not been able to grow, [17:38.000 --> 17:42.000] we cannot live decently as human beings. [17:42.000 --> 17:45.000] We are living on credit. [17:45.000 --> 17:49.000] Salaries in Baltimore and throughout the country [17:49.000 --> 17:54.000] have remained basically flat since the 70s. [17:54.000 --> 17:59.000] And the country stopped saving in the 70s [17:59.000 --> 18:02.000] and started living on credit. [18:02.000 --> 18:06.000] And I, for example, I live more or less well, [18:06.000 --> 18:08.000] I don't have any money. [18:11.000 --> 18:15.000] We burned our ranch, our things, [18:15.000 --> 18:18.000] we did a looting, the police came and took [18:18.000 --> 18:20.000] until the last penny. [18:20.000 --> 18:23.000] The ladies took all the things that are there, [18:23.000 --> 18:25.000] they took our tools. [18:28.000 --> 18:31.000] In the labor field there is also much to be resolved. [18:31.000 --> 18:34.000] After suffering the abandonment by the state of Honduras [18:34.000 --> 18:38.000] in the face of the labor abuses committed by fishing companies, [18:38.000 --> 18:41.000] the misquite-disabled indigenous people now claim [18:41.000 --> 18:45.000] both the benefits and the necessary medical care [18:45.000 --> 18:47.000] to be able to have a dignified life. [18:47.000 --> 18:50.000] Behind my back, behind the hills, is the Santa Ana mine, [18:50.000 --> 18:53.000] whose concession to a Canadian consortium [18:53.000 --> 18:56.000] has caused the mobilization of thousands of Peruvian peasants [18:56.000 --> 19:00.000] from the Ticaca lake that they share in Bolivia and Peru. [19:00.000 --> 19:04.000] The businessmen always marginalize us [19:04.000 --> 19:09.000] for being, let's say, ungrateful people in a job [19:09.000 --> 19:14.000] because they know that one is going to defend the rights of the workers. [19:18.000 --> 19:20.000] Conservation of the environment, [19:20.000 --> 19:23.000] the fight against the predators of nature, [19:23.000 --> 19:27.000] also had its space this year in reality. [19:27.000 --> 19:30.000] We began to feel respiratory problems, [19:30.000 --> 19:33.000] dizziness, headache, [19:33.000 --> 19:39.000] and we began to take the children to the clinic. [19:39.000 --> 19:43.000] Some teachers felt very bad, even fainted. [19:43.000 --> 19:47.000] The emission reduction plan involves efficiency [19:47.000 --> 19:49.000] and establishing standards and protocols [19:49.000 --> 19:53.000] to reduce, for example, the consumption of electricity, [19:53.000 --> 19:59.000] reduce the consumption of implements and materials [19:59.000 --> 20:03.000] that we use every day, such as paper, for example. [20:03.000 --> 20:05.000] It must be said that El Salvador [20:05.000 --> 20:08.000] is the second most deforested country in America, [20:08.000 --> 20:10.000] only after Haiti. [20:10.000 --> 20:14.000] And we still have the fastest rate of deforestation [20:14.000 --> 20:16.000] on the continent. [20:16.000 --> 20:18.000] And this is a problem that we have inherited [20:18.000 --> 20:20.000] because it is not a new problem. [20:20.000 --> 20:24.000] 20 miles from this island, the BP spill occurred. [20:24.000 --> 20:26.000] Today, a year later, [20:26.000 --> 20:29.000] lumps of crude, like this one, [20:29.000 --> 20:32.000] continue to reach these beaches. [20:36.000 --> 20:39.000] In this 2011 we met some health problems. [20:39.000 --> 20:42.000] Last year, 70,000 women were hospitalized [20:42.000 --> 20:44.000] for clandestine abortion in Argentina [20:44.000 --> 20:47.000] and 100 women died because of this. [20:47.000 --> 20:50.000] So if we take into account that all these women [20:50.000 --> 20:52.000] are young and poor, between 10 and 24 years old, [20:52.000 --> 20:54.000] in their vast majority, [20:54.000 --> 20:57.000] we have to take this as a problem of human rights, [20:57.000 --> 20:59.000] as a problem of social inequality [20:59.000 --> 21:01.000] and as a problem of public health. [21:01.000 --> 21:03.000] In a climate of social hypersensitivity, [21:03.000 --> 21:05.000] in the National Congress, [21:05.000 --> 21:08.000] today there are seven abortion-related projects. [21:08.000 --> 21:10.000] Without a doubt, a controversial issue [21:10.000 --> 21:13.000] that faces positions in a parliamentary debate [21:13.000 --> 21:15.000] that is already historical. [21:15.000 --> 21:17.000] The proposals in favor of health [21:17.000 --> 21:19.000] were also heard. [21:19.000 --> 21:21.000] This successful result is the product [21:21.000 --> 21:23.000] of more than three years of preparation [21:23.000 --> 21:25.000] by the doctors of this hospital [21:25.000 --> 21:27.000] in the outskirts of the country. [21:27.000 --> 21:29.000] In addition, since its inauguration to date, [21:29.000 --> 21:31.000] this hospital has returned smiles [21:31.000 --> 21:33.000] to more than 5,000 families. [21:36.000 --> 21:38.000] The struggle for sovereignty, [21:38.000 --> 21:40.000] autonomy and independence. [21:40.000 --> 21:43.000] In short, a cry for non-interference [21:43.000 --> 21:46.000] was also felt with force in this 2011. [21:50.000 --> 21:52.000] One does not feel Palestinian here. [21:52.000 --> 21:54.000] There is no difference with the Palestinians. [21:54.000 --> 21:56.000] There are the same rights to employment [21:56.000 --> 21:58.000] and to have property here. [21:59.000 --> 22:01.000] We live the same as in Syria. [22:01.000 --> 22:03.000] We have the rights of the Syrian citizen. [22:03.000 --> 22:05.000] After a violent day [22:05.000 --> 22:07.000] with the soldiers of the Israeli occupation, [22:07.000 --> 22:09.000] the Palestinian refugees in defense [22:09.000 --> 22:12.000] return to their refugee camps in Syria, [22:12.000 --> 22:14.000] full of hope that one day [22:14.000 --> 22:17.000] they will return to their occupied Palestinian territory. [22:17.000 --> 22:19.000] Thus, the Libyan people resists [22:19.000 --> 22:21.000] above all their women and children. [22:21.000 --> 22:23.000] Many trust that the future [22:23.000 --> 22:25.000] of their country will not be [22:25.000 --> 22:27.000] the one of this street without exit. [22:27.000 --> 22:29.000] While Puerto Rico is not free and independent, [22:29.000 --> 22:31.000] Latin America will not be able to claim [22:31.000 --> 22:33.000] its independence fully. [22:33.000 --> 22:35.000] That is why the cause of the independence of Puerto Rico [22:35.000 --> 22:37.000] is a continental cause, [22:37.000 --> 22:39.000] Latin American, Caribbean. [22:39.000 --> 22:41.000] For Puerto Rico to be independent [22:41.000 --> 22:43.000] in the fraternity of free countries [22:43.000 --> 22:45.000] with confidence that they face [22:45.000 --> 22:47.000] the overwhelming power of the United States. [22:47.000 --> 22:49.000] According to experts, the blockade [22:49.000 --> 22:51.000] of the United States against Cuba [22:51.000 --> 22:53.000] qualifies as an act of genocide [22:53.000 --> 22:55.000] in virtue of the Geneva Convention. [22:55.000 --> 22:57.000] For Cubans, the main effect [22:57.000 --> 22:59.000] caused by the encirclement that the United States imposes [22:59.000 --> 23:01.000] on this island is the effect on life. [23:01.000 --> 23:03.000] After an analysis of the critical [23:03.000 --> 23:05.000] economic situation worldwide [23:05.000 --> 23:07.000] caused by the great financial bulges, [23:07.000 --> 23:09.000] President Hugo Chávez [23:09.000 --> 23:11.000] took the precaution of putting [23:11.000 --> 23:13.000] the country's reserves safe [23:13.000 --> 23:15.000] through the repatriation of [23:15.000 --> 23:17.000] about 600 billion dollars [23:17.000 --> 23:19.000] deposited in banks [23:19.000 --> 23:21.000] with a foreign loan. [23:21.000 --> 23:23.000] With this measure, not only the capital, [23:23.000 --> 23:25.000] but its many interests [23:25.000 --> 23:27.000] remain at home. [23:27.000 --> 23:29.000] Likewise, he decreed the nationalization [23:29.000 --> 23:31.000] of gold, two measures [23:31.000 --> 23:33.000] that constitute a firm step [23:33.000 --> 23:35.000] in defense and safeguarding [23:35.000 --> 23:39.000] national sovereignty. [23:39.000 --> 23:41.000] In some Latin American countries, [23:41.000 --> 23:43.000] as in Spain, [23:43.000 --> 23:45.000] committees were held to renew [23:45.000 --> 23:47.000] public powers or make [23:47.000 --> 23:49.000] consultations on common interest issues. [23:49.000 --> 23:51.000] TeleSur was present. [23:51.000 --> 23:53.000] Ten candidates are disputed [23:53.000 --> 23:55.000] in the presidential seat of Peru [23:55.000 --> 23:57.000] to govern the country [23:57.000 --> 23:59.000] for the next five years. [23:59.000 --> 24:01.000] The winner of the contest [24:01.000 --> 24:03.000] will receive a country in economic growth, [24:03.000 --> 24:05.000] but with a very high social debt. [24:05.000 --> 24:07.000] The so-called [24:07.000 --> 24:09.000] Popular Consultation on May 7 [24:09.000 --> 24:11.000] proposes possible amendments [24:11.000 --> 24:13.000] to the constitution, [24:13.000 --> 24:15.000] transform the judicial system, [24:15.000 --> 24:17.000] sanction illicit private enrichment, [24:17.000 --> 24:19.000] prohibit gambling [24:19.000 --> 24:21.000] and torture of animals for fun, [24:21.000 --> 24:23.000] among other things. [24:23.000 --> 24:25.000] Everything indicates that after the next presidential elections, [24:25.000 --> 24:27.000] the current political moment that Argentina sees [24:27.000 --> 24:29.000] will continue for four more years. [24:29.000 --> 24:31.000] And that a new page in the history [24:31.000 --> 24:33.000] of Ana Fernández is about to be written. [24:33.000 --> 24:35.000] The inhabitants of the municipality of Manatí [24:35.000 --> 24:37.000] have the hope that on the next occasion [24:37.000 --> 24:39.000] that President Juan Manuel Santos [24:39.000 --> 24:41.000] arrives in this municipality, [24:41.000 --> 24:43.000] he can get rid of his security rings [24:43.000 --> 24:45.000] and come to know this reality. [24:45.000 --> 24:47.000] According to experts, programs [24:47.000 --> 24:49.000] such as those carried out in this country [24:49.000 --> 24:51.000] contribute to reducing the crime rate, [24:51.000 --> 24:53.000] which favors [24:53.000 --> 24:55.000] that the committees take place [24:55.000 --> 24:57.000] in relative calm compared [24:57.000 --> 25:01.000] to the actions of the region. [25:01.000 --> 25:03.000] In Latin America, [25:03.000 --> 25:05.000] students took to the streets [25:05.000 --> 25:07.000] to demand their right [25:07.000 --> 25:09.000] to a dignified education, [25:09.000 --> 25:11.000] of quality, public and free. [25:11.000 --> 25:13.000] I believe that [25:13.000 --> 25:15.000] not having enough money [25:15.000 --> 25:17.000] to pay [25:17.000 --> 25:19.000] for a better education [25:19.000 --> 25:21.000] than this one, [25:21.000 --> 25:23.000] I can be stuck [25:23.000 --> 25:25.000] and not continue to emerge [25:25.000 --> 25:27.000] And in other scenarios, [25:27.000 --> 25:29.000] consolidating primary education [25:29.000 --> 25:31.000] is a greater challenge [25:31.000 --> 25:33.000] when it comes to bilingual teaching. [25:33.000 --> 25:35.000] I believe that this is very important [25:35.000 --> 25:37.000] because in the end [25:37.000 --> 25:39.000] both languages open doors. [25:39.000 --> 25:41.000] In these times I believe that [25:41.000 --> 25:43.000] bilingualism is very important [25:43.000 --> 25:45.000] in the case of us, [25:45.000 --> 25:47.000] of the Caxiquelias. [25:47.000 --> 25:49.000] Every day, it is more the voices [25:49.000 --> 25:51.000] that unite and rise to demand [25:51.000 --> 25:53.000] to claim what [25:53.000 --> 25:55.000] in fact belongs to them. [25:55.000 --> 25:57.000] They are stories of our people, [25:57.000 --> 25:59.000] not only from America, [25:59.000 --> 26:01.000] but from other continents [26:01.000 --> 26:03.000] that seek to make this planet [26:03.000 --> 26:05.000] a better world to live in. [26:05.000 --> 26:07.000] And Telesur is the spokesperson [26:07.000 --> 26:09.000] of their realities. [26:09.000 --> 26:11.000] So far this edition of Realidades [26:11.000 --> 26:13.000] has an email address [26:13.000 --> 26:15.000] to communicate with us. [26:15.000 --> 26:17.000] It is realidades atelesurtv.net [26:17.000 --> 26:19.000] You can also contact us [26:19.000 --> 26:21.000] through Twitter [26:21.000 --> 26:23.000] atelesur. [26:23.000 --> 26:25.000] From Caracas, Venezuela, [26:25.000 --> 26:27.000] this is Milfra Baptista. [26:27.000 --> 26:51.000] Newsletters of TeleSur [26:51.000 --> 26:53.000] presents a production that allows you [26:53.000 --> 26:55.000] to get to know the man, [26:55.000 --> 27:02.360] of resistance social justice and revolution commander fidel castro read 12 hours 14 hours [27:02.360 --> 27:08.880] 16 hours and then I have never had the opportunity to read so many hours in the framework of the anniversary [27:08.880 --> 27:14.440] of the triumph of the Cuban revolution some things of the occurred have been more difficult [27:14.440 --> 27:25.520] also immature documentaries fidel the story not told today only by tl-sour [27:27.880 --> 27:34.840] I demand respect for their lives, their lands and their work, the kidnapping of large groups, they have not told us [27:34.840 --> 27:39.760] how they took them or where they are, I think there has to be a very energetic answer [27:39.760 --> 27:47.280] to be included and want to be heard it is necessary that the international community [27:47.280 --> 27:58.680] finds out despite these [27:58.680 --> 28:19.920] realities all Saturdays only on TV powerful earthquake of magnitude 7 on the scale of [28:19.920 --> 28:29.960] richter shakes japan fire in the natural park of chile rages with more than 12,000 hectares [28:29.960 --> 28:33.520] the government reinforces brigades and tries to stifle the flames [28:38.640 --> 28:42.480] cuba commemorates the 53rd anniversary of its revolution [28:42.480 --> 28:58.600] moment of news between the south welcome I greet you to Francisco Blandón from Caracas, [28:58.600 --> 29:03.440] Venezuela with the most outstanding in Latin America and the world we just started our [29:03.440 --> 29:08.800] continent and information about the world a magnitude 7 earthquake on the richter scale [29:08.800 --> 29:14.040] shook the south of the Japanese central coast in the early hours of 2012 the authorities [29:14.040 --> 29:19.040] did not issue a tsunami alert and have reported victims the movement registered to the southeast [29:19.040 --> 29:23.840] of Tokyo near the southern island of Torishima was also felt in the districts of Chiyoda, [29:23.840 --> 29:29.200] Minato and Shinjuku, the first reports indicate normality in the nuclear power plant in Fukushima [29:29.200 --> 29:38.280] paralyzed after the past seismic event in March 2011 in Chile at least 12 thousand [29:38.280 --> 29:44.400] 560 hectares of the national park of torres del paine have been consumed by the flames according [29:44.400 --> 29:49.760] to the latest report of the national emergency office of the ministry of interior on emi the [29:49.760 --> 29:56.520] national director of the entity vicente nuñez explained that a total of 562 562 brigadistas [29:56.520 --> 30:10.840] between specialized personnel from conaf chile firemen
