    The News with Jorge Gestoso

    On today's podcast.  Colombia Colombia is entering the final stretch toward the presidential elections just five days before this Sunday's vote. The Colombian electorate is preparing to decide between deepening the path of structural transformations initiated by president Gustavo Petro by voting for the candidate leading the polls, leftist Iván Cepeda, or returning to the neoliberal policies proposed by his two main rivals, neoliberalism that has perpetuated inequality.  Bolivia In Bolivia, the senate approved a law that makes it easier for right wing neoliberal president Rodrigo Paz to declare a state of emergency without requiring legislative authorization. For its part, the Bolivian Workers' Central Union conditioned the dialogue with the government on the annulment of the arrests and order humanitarian passage through the blockades.  Cuba And the government of Cuba reaffirms its commitment to peace while also ratifying its determination to exercise the right to legitimate self defense under the UN charter.

Bolivia The Bolivian Workers' Central called for a nationwide march this Thursday starting from El Alto.  The mobilization is part of the protests that have continued for nearly a month against measures implemented by the right-wing neoliberal government of Rodrigo Paz.  The massive demonstrations have been described as a popular uprising and are demanding the President's resignation.

    On today's podcast... China-Russia Russian President Vladimir Putin, ahead of his Wednesday visit with his counterpart Xi Jinping, released a video message to the Chinese people in which he emphasized that cooperation between Moscow and Beijing is not directed against any third country, but instead, he said, seeks to contribute to global stability and prosperity.  During the two-day meeting, both leaders will seek to coordinate their positions in response to global instability, the impact of oil prices, and the deepening of their comprehensive strategic partnership. Bolivia In Bolivia, as protests approach the one-month mark, tensions are once again escalating following the reinstatement of road blockades on the country's main highways.  Demonstrators are protesting shortages under the right-wing neoliberal government of President Rodrigo Paz and are demanding his resignation.  The government issued an arrest warrant for the leader of the Bolivian Workers' Center, an organization that responded by denouncing that the Paz government, instead of listening to the people, is responding with militarization and repression. Iran-United States And today, Tuesday, negotiations between Iran and the United States remain tense, but show signs of possible progress, as Washington may be willing to make some concessions to the Iranian proposal, while the oil market reacts with volatility and an upward trend due to geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East.

    On today's podcast... Bolivia In Bolivia, after two weeks of protests, rejection of the government of right-wing neoliberal President Rodrigo Paz is increasing as social organizations reject an agreement and announce new mobilizations.  This comes after the President hardened his rhetoric and threatened to send to prison those who, in his words, want to destroy democracy. Cuba Cuba has announced an increase in hostile actions by the United States, which it says seeks to fabricate pretexts that it describes as increasingly implausible to justify a military aggression against the island.  This complaint takes place within more than six decades of tensions marked by the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by Washington on Havana.  Israel The government of Israel activated an amendment that allows the application of the death penalty to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank who are classified as terrorists if they deny the existence of the State of Israel and they will be tried in military courts. International organizations denounce that the measure deepens the occupation, violates international law and does not seek security but rather to consolidate demographic and territorial control.
