Good evening and welcome to
teleSH,
For those of you joining us for our first global broadcast, welcome and thank you for your support. We hope this will be the first of many evenings you will spend enjoying our program, so please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are
teleSH (pronounced tele-ese-hache), headquartered in
San Huberto City and sponsored by the government of
San Huberto. We've recently launched with the goal of delivering honest news from this corner of the world, a truthful take on domestic happenings in
San Huberto, regional events in northeastern
Cotf Aranye, and stories from even farther away, we'll be detailing them all as they unfold. So with introductions out of the way, let's begin with tonight's coverage:
A proposal, leaked by an anonymous source within the
Constitutional Assembly, detailing possible legislative reforms has been gathering attention across the nation. The document, lacking any signature or other signs that could identify the author, suggests a system not entirely dissimilar to that of the current
Constitutional Assembly. The plan calls for each of
San Huberto's 12 Counties to be allocated at least 30 Representatives each in the new legislature, elections to this body would occur annually and a 2/3rds majority would be required to pass any bill. Once seated, one of the 12 Counties would be chosen by lot, and this Legislature's Head selected, by ballot, from the Representatives of this County. The Head of this body would retain their voting seat, preside over the legislature, as well as be charge with the creation of a cabinet. The following year, the County from which the previous head was chosen will be excluded from the lot, and this process of elimination would continue until all Counties have had a Representative serve in this role. The public reception to this plan has been mixed, while some have reacted positively to the many and frequent elections, others have concerns about the efficacy of the system. This is the first information to reach the public since the body began meeting on New Year's Day, following elections in September in which the Distributist Party won a majority.
Tlatelolco López, former Director of the
Bureau of Refugees, Indians, and Confiscated and Abandoned Lands, and lifelong member of the Distributist Party, was selected, with his party's majority, as Chairman of the Assembly. Mr. López declined to comment on the matter of leaks within the body or on the document specifically, simply stating that "the mission of the Assembly is to form a new government... there will be many plans put forward before one is decided upon"
2 fishing trawlers in the
Rodinian Sea crashed earlier today, in what's being described by authorities as a deliberate attempt by one ship to ram the other. The entire crew, about a dozen men, have been taken into custody for further questioning while formal charges are prepared. While the names of the vessels, that of their crews, and possible motivations have not been released to the public, many are speculating that the poor state of the nation's fishing industry is to blame. With pollution and over-fishing within
San Huberto's territorial waters, competition over the dwindling fish population that reside within them is driving commercial fishermen further from San Huberto's shores and has lead to disputes in the past, most notably in 2018 when a crew set fire to a rival boat while it was docked one night. Some fishermen are seeking government financial support to aid in transitioning to fishing greater amounts and at greater distances in international waters, along with some sympathetic members of the
Constitutional Assembly calling for expanded territorial waters to be claimed and enshrined in the nation's new constitution.
