The News with Jorge Gestoso

teleSUR English Poscast

In today's podcast, Jorge Getoso reports on several key issues: 

1. At the Hague Group summit in Colombia, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese urged global rejection of the "Zionist genocide" in Gaza and called for severing relations with Israel and an arms embargo due to ongoing violations of international law, which have resulted in over 58,000 Palestinian deaths.

2. In Ecuador, a march is underway opposing a public integrity law, which critics argue jeopardizes public health and destabilizes 638,000 public servants, leading to arbitrary layoffs. A new lawsuit challenging the law adds to 20 existing complaints.

3. In Brazil, the Prosecutor's Office is seeking to convict former President Jair Bolsonaro for a coup attempt against President Lula da Silva, with a ruling expected soon that could result in Bolsonaro facing up to 40 years in prison.

That's the update from Jorge Getoso.
