[00:00:12] Hello everyone, welcome to a new food, where they ate, what they news broadcast on France 24.
[00:00:16] Andrés Mesa Muñoz greets you. Let's go with the
[00:00:18] headlines.
[00:00:21] Saudi Arabia fortifies itself after Iranian attacks against
[00:00:24] it. The Gulf country signed a defense agreement with Pakistan and
[00:00:29] they are from Scuinapa in Turkey. The pact stipulates that an armed offensive against
[00:00:32] any of the three, including the Pakistanis who have nuclear weapons,
[00:00:35] would be considered an offensive against all. We have a
[00:00:38] report:
[00:00:41] Deadly shooting in Thailand. A 14-year-old teenager killed
[00:00:45] five people at a school on the outskirts of Bangkok, where he also left at
[00:00:48] least 30 injured, nine of them in critical condition. This
[00:00:52] happened before committing suicide and after having murdered his two
[00:00:56] grandparents.
[00:00:59] Avelar de la Espriella assumes the presidency of Colombia today in a
[00:01:03] ceremony that for the first time in the entire republican history of the country will not
[00:01:06] take place in the capital.
[00:01:09] with adequate quality and We recap the trajectory of the new president and the challenges that await him.
[00:01:26] Let's start with Middle East news. Saudi Arabia signed a joint
[00:01:30] defense agreement with Turkey and Pakistan, a nuclear weapons holder that would
[00:01:34] shield it from constant attacks from Iran. The pact aims to
[00:01:37] strengthen collective deterrence of any act of
[00:01:41] aggression and stipulates that an armed offensive against any of the
[00:01:44] three would be considered an attack against all. From Istanbul, our
[00:01:48] correspondent Adrián Rocha told us how these three countries got to
[00:01:52] SENASICA in to Well, it's mainly due to the great
[00:01:56] fear that exists right now throughout the region, an inherent fear that the new
[00:02:00] re-escalation of the conflict between the United
[00:02:04] promising that the state would regain the States and Iran, which has not yet occurred, but which could occur at any moment, will affect all of
[00:02:07] Iran's neighbors. To put it in context,
[00:02:11] we did all the investigation at the plant of Trump assured last week, as our viewers will remember, that he was preparing the biggest attack
[00:02:15] the United States has ever carried out since World
[00:02:18] War II, something he himself stopped
[00:02:21] extend it to on Sunday afternoon after the countries of the region, especially Saudi Arabia and Qatar, explicitly
[00:02:25] asked the United States to stop that attack, not to carry it out, due to the
[00:02:29] fear of these countries, especially in the Gulf, but also
[00:02:32] Turkey, which has been attacked in the past, being attacked by
[00:02:36] Iran, which, in fact, according to press leaks, even
[00:02:40] explained to these Gulf countries which specific points, which
[00:02:44] oil stations, which logistical points, which ports, which airports would be attacked
[00:02:47] in case the United States carried out its bombings
[00:02:50] or fulfilled its
[00:02:53] been in contact with the threat of attacks against Iran. Therefore, the
[00:02:57] reason for this defensive alliance is very clear: it is to protect,
[00:03:01] States, with especially in this case, a Saudi Arabia that has proven very
[00:03:04] vulnerable, as have all the countries of the Gulf, before these attacks
[00:03:08] from Iran, which during the first months of this spring were constant,
[00:03:11] daily, and which threatened not only the security
[00:03:15] of these countries but also the economy of both the region and the entire
[00:03:18] world with the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which still remains, in addition to the
[00:03:22] inability of many of these countries to consistently export
[00:03:25] their oil reserves. Let's remember that Saudi
[00:03:28] Arabia is one of the biggest, biggest oil producers and exporters in the world. Turkey
[00:03:32] has the largest army in the region, the second
[00:03:36] largest in NATO, and is the only NATO member country, and Pakistan is the only Middle
[00:03:39] Eastern country that publicly admits to having nuclear
[00:03:43] weapons. Let's remember that the other country that does have them, although it has never publicly admitted it, is
[00:03:47] Israel. Well, these three countries now intend to defend themselves right
[00:03:50] now and form a new alliance that allows for
[00:03:54] a little more deterrence for an Iran that, if attacked again,
[00:03:57] will have to think twice about this new
[00:04:01] defensive alliance of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. What
[00:04:04] is clear is that Iran continues with its threats against its neighbors. It has not
[00:04:08] only been Saudi Arabia that has
[00:04:10] government of been attacked during recent months and probably won't
[00:04:13] be so.
[00:04:16] 0.0002% of Above all, Iran has
[00:04:17] returned after traveling been attacking not only Kuwait,
[00:04:20] Qatar, the Emirates, and Oman, but also other countries in the region in
[00:04:23] response to US attacks.
[00:04:27] Regarding the offensive in the Middle East, the Houthis, backed by
[00:04:30] Iran, continue to attack provinces in Yemen. According to military sources, at least three
[00:04:34] members of government forces and two civilians died this Friday. The
[00:04:38] attacks continued after the group killed at least 58 people in a
[00:04:42] drone and missile offensive on Thursday against Yemeni government
[00:04:45] soldiers. Let's look at the report. The
[00:04:48] Houthis in Yemen, backed by Iran, continue to attack several provinces
[00:04:52] in Yemen. On Thursday, they launched a series of missile
[00:04:55] and drone attacks against Yemeni government forces.
[00:04:59] It was one of the deadliest days of the
[00:05:01] with each other. In the case of country's civil war in the last four years. The rebel
[00:05:04] group claimed that the attacks were a response to a military
[00:05:08] concentration backed by neighboring Saudi Arabia.
[00:05:13] Hundreds of enemy Saudi mercenaries have been killed and wounded,
[00:05:17] a large number of enemy Saudi camps, troop concentrations,
[00:05:20] depots and weapons have been destroyed and set on fire in eastern
[00:05:24] Yemen. According to an anonymous
[00:05:27] military source, Houthi drones and missiles attacked several
[00:05:30] military camps in the central province of Marib and in
[00:05:34] Hadramaut, near the border with Saudi Arabia. The
[00:05:38] rebel group also attacked the border region of Najran
[00:05:42] in the south of the territory.
[00:05:45] We warn the Saudi enemy that any reckless action against our country and
[00:05:48] our people will face the consequences of any
[00:05:52] escalation.
[00:05:55] According to a Saudi official, several intelligence agencies
[00:05:58] claim that Iraqi militias, in coordination with the Houthis
[00:06:02] in Yemen, were preparing imminent attacks against
[00:06:06] Saudi Arabia under the direction of Iran's Revolutionary
[00:06:09] Guard. The kingdom stated that it would take the necessary
[00:06:13] measures to respond to any aggression. Since
[00:06:16] 2014, a proxy war has been raging in Yemen between the Houthi rebels, allied
[00:06:20] with Iran, and the internationally
[00:06:24] recognized Yemeni government, backed by Riyadh and
[00:06:28] Washington. In 2022, a fragile ceasefire came into
[00:06:31] effect, but it broke last month when an Iranian plane
[00:06:35] tried to land in Sana'a. The Houthis
[00:06:38] announced a naval blockade of Saudi ports and began attacking
[00:06:42] the kingdom's oil tankers.
[00:06:45] In Lebanon, a year has passed since a plan for the disarmament of Hezbollah
[00:06:49] was announced, but that process is stalled, especially
[00:06:52] after Israeli attacks against this group continued in southern
[00:06:56] Lebanese territory. In the agreement, the government established that the Lebanese
[00:06:59] armed forces would be the only legitimate armed forces in the
[00:07:02] country. How is the militia at this moment? The
[00:07:06] details are provided by our Beirut correspondent Etel
[00:07:09] Bonet. A year ago, the Lebanese government announced
[00:07:13] the start of Hezbollah's disarmament,
[00:07:16] monopoly on weapons, and 12 months later, the process
[00:07:20] remains blocked. Hezbollah has not handed over its arsenal and rejects
[00:07:23] any disarmament imposed from outside, but the war with
[00:07:27] Israel has changed its position. The group has lost
[00:07:30] part of its military structure and political weight, while Israel
[00:07:33] claims to have
[00:07:35] destroyed
[00:07:40] Well, first, some good news. I'm going to put on my
[00:07:43] glasses.
[00:07:47] Put up the graphic. Annual inflation in Mexico drops
[00:07:51] 3.12%.
[00:07:55] We were at 3.37% in
[00:07:57] June, and July came in at
[00:08:01] 3.12%.
[00:08:05] Very important. Well, the second thing I
[00:08:09] want to inform you about is that
[00:08:13] Betsy Chávez, who was President of the Council of Ministers
[00:08:17] of the government of former President Pedro Castillo, who
[00:08:20] remained for several months in the
[00:08:23] Mexican embassy in
[00:08:24] Peru,
[00:08:28] which then had to close that embassy, given that
[00:08:32] Peru broke relations with Mexico,
[00:08:36] and remained under the protection of Brazil, whom we
[00:08:39] thank very much.
[00:08:42] She is about to land in Mexico. Safe conduct was
[00:08:46] granted for Betsy. An air force
[00:08:50] plane was sent for her, and she is in a
[00:08:53] few minutes landing in our country. This is a
[00:08:56] dialogue that began with the new government of Peru several
[00:09:00] weeks ago. This was a request that we made,
[00:09:04] and
[00:09:06] it
[00:09:09] is an element
[00:09:13] or an action
[00:09:15] that
[00:09:18] is, of good will, let's say, from the
[00:09:23] President Fujimori towards
[00:09:26] Mexico, and
[00:09:29] well,
[00:09:33] I don't know if I can announce it yet or not, but I'm going to
[00:09:36] announce it. With this, relations with
[00:09:39] Peru will be re-established. And
[00:09:43] we, as always, as we have
[00:09:45] done, will continue to
[00:09:49] defend President Castillo for the
[00:09:52] reasons we have stated. They know it, the new government
[00:09:56] of Peru knows it. But well, it's a
[00:10:00] step, and welcome,
[00:10:02] Chávez, to
[00:10:06] Mexico. Well, this is the
[00:10:08] second very important piece of information.
[00:10:13] Here are Dr. Kerzenovich, Secretary of
[00:10:17] Health, and Dr. Víctor Hugo Borja, Director
[00:10:21] of COFEPRIS. They will give a brief explanation
[00:10:26] about cyclosporiasis. It
[00:10:29] is called cyclo, well, they will
[00:10:32] say it now.
[00:10:37] Uh, which, even yesterday,
[00:10:40] Secretary Rollins mentioned in an
[00:10:42] intervention, it is a bacterium,
[00:10:45] not a parasite,
[00:10:49] uh, that has been found in some lettuces in the United
[00:10:52] States. All the studies have been
[00:10:56] negative in Mexico, but it is very important
[00:10:59] that we all know about it. They will explain it to us, and
[00:11:03] then here with us, and we are very pleased,
[00:11:53] then first, with David
[00:11:56] Ken.
[00:12:01] With your permission, Madam President, good morning, everyone.
[00:12:04] Recently there has
[00:12:08] been an outbreak in the United States of a
[00:12:12] parasite called cyclospora
[00:12:16] cayetanensis, sorry for the full
[00:12:18] name, which gives rise to a
[00:12:21] disease known as cyclosporiasis.
[00:12:26] I would like to show you the next one, please.
[00:12:28] What is this
[00:12:32] infection? This is an intestinal infection
[00:12:36] caused, as I said, by a parasite.
[00:12:39] It is treatable, no deaths have been
[00:12:43] reported anywhere.
[00:12:46] It is therefore of very low
[00:12:49] mortality. The characteristic is that it starts
[00:12:52] 2 to 14 days after
[00:12:56] consuming contaminated food or water,
[00:12:58] and it manifests as very explosive
[00:13:02] diarrhea that is controlled
[00:13:05] after 48 to 72 hours,
[00:13:09] and in some cases it requires
[00:13:12] hospitalization to rehydrate
[00:13:16] the person, especially when they have nausea or
[00:13:20] vomiting. The next one,
[00:13:22] please. There are different types of
[00:13:26] cyclospora, but only one, known as
[00:13:29] cayetanensis, affects humans
[00:13:33] and is the parasite that is present throughout the
[00:13:36] world and occurs recurrently. It typically
[00:13:40] appears between May and
[00:13:43] August annually in almost
[00:13:46] all countries in our Northern Hemisphere. It is present in
[00:13:50] North America,
[00:13:53] Latin America, and Europe, Africa, and
[00:13:57] Asia. It does not show up in
[00:14:00] common stool analyses, but
[00:14:03] requires, as with COVID, molecular
[00:14:06] PCR tests to detect this
[00:14:10] infection. The next one, please.
[00:14:13] What happens in Mexico?
[00:14:17] We have cases annually, however, they are very
[00:14:20] few. In Mexico we have
[00:14:23] had 33 cases confirmed as of
[00:14:26] July 31st, and if we take into
[00:14:30] account our population, this
[00:14:33] has an incidence of
[00:14:41] the population and recurs annually. There is
[00:14:45] treatment and no person has
[00:14:48] died. The next slide, please.
[00:14:50] favor,
[00:14:53] What do we recommend in general to avoid
[00:14:56] these cases of cyclosporiasis?
[00:15:00] Wash fruits and vegetables with clean and
[00:15:03] potable water before consuming them,
[00:15:06] peel them, or cook them.
[00:15:09] Wash your hands with soap and water for at least
[00:15:12] 20 seconds before preparing
[00:15:15] food, before eating, and after
[00:15:18] using the bathroom, and consume
[00:15:21] potable or boiled water. The
[00:15:25] next one, please.
[00:15:27] Now it is a worldwide
[00:15:31] question why all the outbreaks that occur
[00:15:34] worldwide
[00:15:38] in our hemisphere occur between
[00:15:41] May and August. It has to
[00:15:45] do with humidity that allows the
[00:15:48] parasite's eggs to grow much more easily.
[00:15:52] It is not transmitted from person to
[00:15:55] person. Uh, it is transmitted by
[00:15:58] individual contamination, and there are
[00:16:02] some things that are still under
[00:16:05] investigation, such as the high mobility of
[00:16:09] people between countries who travel
[00:16:12] a lot from one country to another, who consume
[00:16:15] food in different
[00:16:18] places. Even when someone goes
[00:16:21] to a supermarket, they find many
[00:16:25] products from other countries,
[00:16:28] etc., and it is very difficult to pinpoint one in
[00:16:31] particular. Dr. Borja will present how
[00:16:35] our results have been negative
[00:16:38] in Mexico. And something very important has to do, therefore,
[00:16:41] with climate change, which has caused
[00:16:45] the frequency of cyclosporiasis to increase
[00:16:49] much more in some countries, such as
[00:16:51] the United States. So this is a
[00:16:54] multifactorial
[00:16:57] problem in which different risk
[00:17:00] factors are involved. The next one, please.
[00:17:02] favor.
[00:17:05] What do we do in Mexico? And this part is very
[00:17:08] important to convey to you. We have a very
[00:17:12] active epidemiological and sanitary surveillance
[00:17:16] to try to protect our
[00:17:19] population. For example, in the outbreak
[00:17:22] in the United States, we work together with the
[00:17:26] FDA, COFEPRIS and
[00:17:30] the review that has to do with the
[00:17:33] sanitary aspect of being able
[00:17:37] to... detect this type of infections. We search
[00:17:40] in the cultivation, in the primary
[00:17:43] agricultural production together with SENASICA, in the
[00:17:47] packaging for the epidemiological management and control
[00:17:50] and sanitation together with the
[00:17:53] General Directorate of Epidemiology and
[00:17:56] COFEPRIS. But we also
[00:17:59] distribution sites for fresh and minimally
[00:18:03] processed products. So
[00:18:06] we carry out food surveillance
[00:18:10] trying to detect the source from which it may
[00:18:13] come. The next one, please.
[00:18:18] We also actively follow the
[00:18:22] international health regulations. For
[00:18:25] example, in these outbreaks that have occurred, we have
[00:18:30] United Kingdom, which notified
[00:18:33] us of the cases in England, and with the United
[00:18:36] Inglaterra y con Estados
[00:18:38] the agency that monitors
[00:18:42] information in the United States. We
[00:18:45] receive the report, and
[00:18:48] immediately when they notify us of the presence of cases,
[00:18:51] we activate epidemiological and sanitary surveillance.
[00:18:54] We do this through COFEPRIS, which checks
[00:18:58] food, products, and health
[00:19:02] services and supplies. Through SENASICA,
[00:19:05] we conduct animal and plant
[00:19:08] surveillance, thus having
[00:19:11] a very coordinated action to know how
[00:19:15] the infection is evolving, not only in our
[00:19:18] country but also how it is evolving in other
[00:19:22] countries. The next one, please.
[00:19:25] The message, pardon me, yes, the message, this is
[00:19:29] my last slide, is that
[00:19:32] we will continue
[00:19:34] to inform with transparency, with scientific evidence, and
[00:19:37] working to protect the health of all
[00:19:40] Mexicans. We want to send a message of calm that
[00:19:44] we do not have an active cyclosporiasis outbreak
[00:19:48] in our country. Thank you very much.
[00:19:50] Thank you.
[00:19:56] With your permission, Madam President,
[00:19:59] I will present the attention we give to the outbreaks that are reported in this
[00:20:03] context of international cooperation between countries for
[00:20:07] food safety, and I would like to
[00:20:10] tell you what an outbreak is. An outbreak is two or more
[00:20:13] related cases or cases that have
[00:20:16] a common origin. This makes an outbreak not
[00:20:20] an epidemic, but cases associated with
[00:20:23] each other. Uh, what have we done when
[00:20:27] we receive these notifications? What
[00:20:29] countries do first to detect an outbreak
[00:20:33] is to see if they have a number of cases that are associated
[00:20:38] cyclosporiasis and salmonella, the
[00:20:41] CDC, the Centers for Disease
[00:20:44] Control in the United States, uses a
[00:20:47] questionnaire like this and asks
[00:20:50] people who have had a positive result
[00:20:54] where they ate, because cyclosporiasis is related to
[00:20:57] contamination of water or
[00:21:01] ate, and so on. This generates a hypothesis, and what they
[00:21:05] report to us are hypotheses, not confirmed
[00:21:08] issues. The investigation, as in
[00:21:11] the case of the United States, the CDC asked these confirmed
[00:21:15] cases where they had eaten, and there was a
[00:21:18] report that
[00:21:21] many of them had eaten in some fast-food
[00:21:24] restaurants. The FDA, when investigating
[00:21:27] this, consulted the restaurants about the origin
[00:21:31] of the food, and they asked the patients specifically about
[00:21:34] the purchase of some
[00:21:37] specific foods that are fresh foods,
[00:21:41] and all of them reported, for the most part,
[00:21:44] that they had consumed this lettuce that is
[00:21:47] called romaine lettuce. For us, the
[00:21:51] head lettuce, and that they had consumed it chopped and that
[00:21:54] it came in packaged bags. So the
[00:21:57] FDA asked where the packing plant that
[00:22:01] distributed it or the distributors came from. They saw that it came
[00:22:04] from common distribution centers in the United States, and
[00:22:08] then they notified us that it could be associated
[00:22:11] with Mexico's export of these
[00:22:14] products. So what we
[00:22:17] did when the FDA alerted
[00:22:20] us that it could be from a packing plant called Taylor Farms
[00:22:24] in Guanajuato, we immediately went to Taylor
[00:22:28] Farms to investigate the
[00:22:30] conditions of production and
[00:22:34] the treatment of the lettuces. We went with the
[00:22:37] General Directorate of Epidemiology and SENASICA to see the whole process from the
[00:22:41] seedling to the packaging. The
[00:22:44] lettuces, finally, Mexican, produced with
[00:22:48] very good quality in Guanajuato, travel more than 300 km to
[00:22:52] reach these distribution points. Well, we went to
[00:22:55] the states, the plant. We took,
[00:23:01] the production conditions, we took
[00:23:03] five whole lettuces before being processed,
[00:23:07] five samples of the chopped
[00:23:10] lettuce water, we
[00:23:13] submitted these analyses by molecular
[00:23:16] biology and found that all were negative. In such
[00:23:20] a way that the hypothesis is not confirmed with these
[00:23:24] laboratory study results. The hypothesis
[00:23:28] is still maintained and the direct source is not confirmed. Taylor
[00:23:31] Farms stopped the plant's
[00:23:34] operation preventively, there was a risk analysis being done by the
[00:23:38] company. So the Mexican origin is not yet
[00:23:42] proven. The epidemiological situation of cyclosporiasis
[00:23:45] in the United States is not only associated with this outbreak
[00:23:49] in the United States. From May to August, as Dr.
[00:23:52] Kerzenovich mentioned, there have been a total of
[00:23:55] 10,468 confirmed cases, not all
[00:23:59] associated with the outbreak.
[00:24:01] There are 47 affected states and two
[00:24:05] deaths. And those associated with the outbreak,
[00:24:08] hypothetically associated with this lettuce, are
[00:24:11] 6,358 confirmed cases in 15 states,
[00:24:15] 278 deaths and two fatalities. So
[00:24:19] the problem goes beyond
[00:24:22] what is reported for just this outbreak.
[00:24:25] These are the cases reported within the United States who have not traveled.
[00:24:29] On the other hand, there are 1,400 cases that
[00:24:33] they report had traveled in previous
[00:24:36] weeks and then fell ill in the United States. The next one, please.
[00:24:40] This is how we received the
[00:24:43] report and acted immediately. In
[00:24:47] this case of cyclosporiasis,
[00:24:50] the result in the lettuce samples is not
[00:24:54] confirmed. The next one, please.
[00:24:57] We had another report
[00:25:01] from the United Kingdom of cases that
[00:25:07] to various countries. Among those,
[00:25:10] 48 cases traveled only to
[00:25:14] Mexico. Some had traveled only to the United States, some to
[00:25:18] Mexico and the United States, especially after the World Cup.
[00:25:22] And they reported these cases to us. We visited
[00:25:25] because they had been in some
[00:25:28] hotels and reported that they had consumed fresh vegetables
[00:25:31] in the hotels. We visited 16 hotels
[00:25:34] in the area. Eh, from
[00:25:38] Quintanaroo, we took samples and these
[00:25:41] are 32 food samples and 11
[00:25:44] water samples are in the process of
[00:25:47] being analyzed in our laboratory. Next please,
[00:25:50] the last report we received was about
[00:25:54] salmonellosis eh associated with possibly
[00:25:58] chilies of Mexican origin, serrano chilies,
[00:26:01] this was reported by... FDA eh on
[00:26:04] July 31st, this salmonella
[00:26:07] outbreak eh which had not yet been identified
[00:26:10] who was the distributor, on August 5th,
[00:26:14] they notified us that the distributor could be an
[00:26:17] packer located in Nuevo León, we immediately went to Coffrís
[00:26:21] to visit this packing plant in Nuevo León,
[00:26:25] we have already seen who are the producers
[00:26:28] who send these chilies,
[00:26:31] Sinaloa and we are in the process of
[00:26:34] investigation, samples of the chilies were already taken
[00:26:38] to investigate if this can be related to
[00:26:42] salmonellosis, the outbreak in the United States, so
[00:26:45] we follow these investigation processes that
[00:26:48] correspond to the cooperation between Mexico and the United
[00:26:51] States, since 2020 we have received
[00:26:54] about 17 notifications of outbreaks, in
[00:26:57] some of them accompanied by
[00:27:00] FDA, Senasica and. we make visits to
[00:27:03] companies to ensure that these export
[00:27:07] processes are carried out
[00:27:12] what is done is in a preventive way, thank
[00:27:15] you very much,
[00:27:19] so far all negative so that
[00:27:22] there
[00:27:25] are no other
