[00:01:30] We begin in Colombia where this Friday the presidential inauguration
[00:01:33] of the far-right Abelardo de la Espriella takes place, the
[00:01:37] 48-year-old lawyer, succeeds Gustavo Petro, who was the

[00:02:07] military battalion, as
[00:02:11] is a person who deserves the opportunity of security is one of his several challenges. In the following report, we review the main
[00:02:15] challenges of his administration.
[00:02:18] A new government that bets on a radical change and faces
[00:02:22] numerous challenges.
[00:02:24] In Colombia, one of the biggest emerging concerns is
[00:02:28] security. In several. regions armed groups have gained
[00:02:32] ground, expanding drug trafficking, illegal mining and
[00:02:36] extortion. According to the
[00:02:38] scholarship, what UN Office on Drugs and Crime, the area
[00:02:41] cultivated with coca increased by 3.5% in the
[00:02:45] country between 2023
[00:02:47] our country, what and 2024, according to the latest figures and in
[00:02:50] general the humanitarian situation is at its most critical level in 10
[00:02:54] years according to the International Committee of the Red
[00:02:56] Cross. The new administration will have the task.
[00:03:00] to recover territorial control and assist the regions that
[00:03:04] denounce abandonment by the state, while
[00:03:07] preserving the rule of
[00:03:10] teenager shot and killed the official party withdrew it, and in law. In the economic sphere, although the new
[00:03:12] president inherits historical lows in poverty and
[00:03:16] Israel and the United States at unemployment. The country closed 2025 with a
[00:03:19] fiscal deficit of 6.4% of
[00:03:22] GDP and a net debt of
[00:03:24] 58.5%, above the 55% limit
[00:03:28] initiative has passed to set by the fiscal rule, in addition the Bank of
[00:03:32] the Republic raised interest rates to 12%.
[00:03:35] In parallel to its war against drug trafficking,
[00:03:39] the new government will also have to seek
[00:03:42] economic alternatives to illicit economy. On the
[00:03:46] other hand, it must address the structural crisis of the health
[00:03:49] system, with, among other things, problems of access to
[00:03:53] health services and medicines and to overcome
[00:03:56] these challenges, Abelardo de la Espriella faces. the
[00:04:00] challenge of governability with a highly fragmented
[00:04:04] congress, without
[00:04:06] protect them, at least from the terror of a caucus in the senate and in the house of representatives he will have to
[00:04:09] find agreements with traditional parties to seek a
[00:04:13] political majority, this in a
[00:04:16] polarized country, where he won with less than one percentage point of
[00:04:20] difference with his left-wing adversary,
[00:04:23] and previously it was the turn for the outgoing president Gustavo Petro to
[00:04:27] leave the Nareño house, the presidential palace.
[00:04:30] located in the center of Bogotá, Petro dressed in
[00:04:33] white, left the residence accompanied by his
[00:04:37] youngest daughter, Antonella Petro, and with part of his
[00:04:40] team, with notable absences such as that of, for example, the
[00:04:43] vice president Francia
[00:04:45] since we also start early at 4 Márquez, his minister of interior, the
[00:04:49] president who leaves this residence in the center of Bogotá, which, as we
[00:04:52] told you, this time will not be the center of this
[00:04:56] inauguration ceremony of the new president Abelardo de las Prillas.
[00:05:03] Another of the day's news items is the reestablishment of diplomatic
[00:05:07] relations between Peru and Mexico, broken since
[00:05:10] November of last year due to political asylum for the former Peruvian
[00:05:14] prime minister Betsy Chávez, who served in the government of the leftist
[00:05:18] Pedro Castillo, is the core of this conflict,
[00:05:21] previously from Lima, our correspondent Francisco
[00:05:24] Zacarías gave us details about the reasons
[00:05:27] behind this decision. The president
[00:05:31] of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum has announced the reestablishment of
[00:05:34] relations between Mexico and Peru, after the government of President
[00:05:38] Keiko Fujimori granted safe conduct to
[00:05:41] former Prime Minister. Betsy Chávez, the Peruvian Foreign
[00:05:45] Ministry through a statement has affirmed that in Peru there is no
[00:05:48] political persecution and that the rule of law prevails,
[00:05:51] in addition it has said that Peru eh
[00:05:54] respects international agreements, as well as the Caracas Convention of
[00:05:58] 1954 which governs diplomatic asylum, it must
[00:06:02] be remembered that Peru broke diplomatic relations with Mexico
[00:06:05] in 2025, because this nation granted diplomatic
[00:06:09] asylum to Betsy Chávez, at that time. The government of Peru
[00:06:13] called it an intrusion by Mexico into the internal affairs
[00:06:17] of this nation and called the act an
[00:06:20] unfriendly act by Mexico, now that things have returned to
[00:06:24] normality, President Keiko Fujimori has said that her
[00:06:27] government is very happy about the reestablishment of diplomatic
[00:06:31] relations with Mexico. For its part, the Mexican
[00:06:33] president Claudia Sheinbaum has stated
[00:06:37] that Peru's act of granting safe conduct
[00:06:41] is a... an act of good will, however, she has
[00:06:44] reaffirmed that Mexico will continue to advocate for the
[00:06:48] release of former leftist president Pedro Castillo, who was
[00:06:51] sentenced to more than 11 years in prison. With
[00:06:54] protests and arrests in the streets, the Argentine senator gave half
[00:06:58] sanction to a bill on private property, but without key
[00:07:02] points for the government of the far-right Javier Miley. The details in this
[00:07:06] report by Dasil Lanza.
[00:07:09] Water cannons and rubber bullets against a crowd of...
[00:07:12] Aires, the demonstration
[00:07:16] private property that the Senate debated and approved
[00:07:19] in the early hours of Friday. With 37 affirmative
[00:07:22] votes and 33 negative votes, the bill on the
[00:07:26] inviolability of private property is generally approved.
[00:07:29] The approval of Javier Miley's government proposal was
[00:07:33] celebrated by the leader of the Official Bloc, a project
[00:07:37] approved with important chapters for Argentines
[00:07:40] to evict squatters and avoid expropriations, the
[00:07:43] Kirchnerist population demonstrated in different parts of the country
[00:07:47] and centrally in front of Congress, today we are here
[00:07:51] because what the government and the lackeys that
[00:07:54] accompany it intend is to surrender our country, is to sell
[00:08:00] they intend with this law is that Argentina
[00:08:03] ceases to belong to Argentines, the initiative proposes to facilitate
[00:08:07] evictions for non-payment of rent, among other points,
[00:08:11] however the original text was broader and sought
[00:08:14] to liberalize the sale of land to foreigners, but foreseeing the
[00:08:18] lack of necessary support,
[00:08:22] the deliberation it was also rejected to modify the forest
[00:08:25] fire management law, Milei's supporters sought to allow the commercial use
[00:08:29] of recently burned land, but critics argued that modifying
[00:08:33] it would have removed that protection, opening the door
[00:08:37] to intentional fires, now the
[00:08:40] deputies before its potential conversion into
[00:08:43] law. More than 1,300 unaccompanied minors have
[00:08:47] been registered in Ceuta, some have had to sleep
[00:08:50] outdoors, but residents of the Spanish enclave in Africa have
[00:08:54] decided to support the care of children, while
[00:08:58] Italy says that for now it will not back down on the suspension of the
[00:09:01] Schengen agreement with Spain. Patricio Peralta with the
[00:09:04] report.
[00:09:06] They have spent several nights sleeping in cars.
[00:09:10] The unaccompanied migrant minors have received shelter
[00:09:14] from the citizens of Ceuta, they try to
[00:09:19] the night, and there are some, there are some people
[00:09:22] who come here, they abuse the
[00:09:24] boys, they also take the girls, it's
[00:09:28] that I wish you had seen videos
[00:09:31] at night here, it's really bad,
[00:09:33] after the massive arrival of migrants to the Spanish
[00:09:37] enclave in Africa, many have slept outdoors, because
[00:09:41] the reception centers. have no more space, the Spanish government of
[00:09:44] Pedro Sánchez plans to transfer in the coming weeks some
[00:09:48] migrant minors from Ceuta to the peninsula. there
[00:09:51] has been an overwhelming situation that is already being
[00:09:53] controlled, eh, it is true that there are many boys and girls and the
[00:09:57] procedure takes its course, we have wanted to here
[00:10:01] to convey that we have given priority to the most
[00:10:04] vulnerable profiles, that is girls and these are boys and
[00:10:07] girls under 13 years old, which is a significant
[00:10:10] volume. A crisis that led to another, the
[00:10:14] diplomatic conflict between Spain and Italy that is worsening,
[00:10:18] Rome announced that it maintains the suspension of the Schengen agreement with
[00:10:21] Madrid, that is, controls for travelers arriving from
[00:10:25] that country, Spain threatened Italy with adopting proportional
[00:10:29] measures if it does not reverse its decision, but Italy says
[00:10:32] no, at least until mid- August. Italy does not accept
[00:10:35] ultimatums or impositions from abroad on matters of national
[00:10:38] security and border control, we have no intention whatsoever of
[00:10:42] reconsidering the decision to suspend the application of the Schengen agreement
[00:10:46] to third-country nationals arriving from Spain, at least
[00:10:50] until August 15 and in any case, until the risks of
[00:10:53] security and terrorism for Italy have been completely
[00:10:56] eliminated. The European Commission recalled this Friday that there have
[00:11:00] been no movements of migrants between the Spanish
[00:11:03] enclave and peninsular Spain.
[00:11:07] Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan signed a trilateral
[00:11:11] defense agreement in Mecca this Friday amid
[00:11:14] the conflict between Iran and the United States that has had
[00:11:17] consequences on almost all countries in the region, this
[00:11:20] pact mainly seeks to deter Tehran from attacking these
[00:11:24] territories.
[00:11:55] defense capabilities to jointly face any threat to
[00:11:58] their security, under the agreement, any external armed
[00:12:02] attack against any of the three countries will be considered
[00:12:05] an attack against all three. Amid the conflict in the Middle East, the
[00:12:09] three countries would seek to deter Iran from attacking them and
[00:12:13] contain the influence of the Shiite power. Since
[00:12:17] Israel and the United States began the war against Iran in
[00:12:20] February, Tehran responded by attacking US military
[00:12:23] bases, among other targets in the region and
[00:12:27] especially in the Persian Gulf. Saudi
[00:12:30] Arabia, in addition to suffering Iranian attacks, also accused Iraqi
[00:12:34] militias, supported by Iran, of attacking its
[00:12:37] territory. It also resumed its conflict with the Houthis of
[00:12:40] Yemen, who announced a blockade of Saudi ships
[00:12:44] in the Red Sea. For its part,
[00:12:46] Turkey announced in March that it had intercepted Iranian missiles
[00:12:50] that were heading towards its territory. And in
[00:12:53] 2024, Iran has launched attacks against a Baluchi
[00:12:57] group in Pakistan.
[00:12:59] Ankara, Riyadh and Islamabad are three important military
[00:13:03] powers. Turkey, which is part of NATO, has the
[00:13:06] second largest army in the organization. Saudi
[00:13:10] Arabia is one of the countries in the world that invests the most
[00:13:13] in defense, and Pakistan is the only nuclear
[00:13:17] military power in the Muslim world. Riyadh and
[00:13:20] Islamabad had already signed a defense agreement in September
[00:13:24] 2026. five and it remains to be seen what the scope of this
[00:13:28] new trilateral agreement will be.
[00:13:31] Let's go to Thailand, a 14-year-old
[00:13:35] seven people before committing suicide. Among the
[00:13:38] deceased are his grandparents and five people in an educational center on the
[00:13:42] outskirts of Bangkok, where he also left at least 30 injured, nine of them seriously.
[00:13:45] The prime minister promised to introduce a new
[00:13:49] firearm control law in the country with the highest number of
[00:13:53] such devices in. all of Southeast Asia and
[00:13:57] where several fatal shootings have occurred in the last 6
[00:14:00] years, outside the school, crying
[00:14:03] teachers, embracing each other, the
[00:14:06] staff and students of this educational center on the outskirts of Bangkok
[00:14:10] have experienced a nightmare during school hours, a 14-year-old
[00:14:13] teenager opened fire causing several deaths and
[00:14:17] injuries before committing suicide. Some
[00:14:19] students and teachers managed to lock themselves in classrooms, others
[00:14:23] managed to hide. or flee, we tried to take refuge in the
[00:14:27] bathrooms, we thought it was over, then a teacher
[00:14:30] shouted, run fast, the shooter went to another building and
[00:14:34] we ran here, when I arrived there was total
[00:14:38] chaos, the students we attended outside had
[00:14:42] injuries to their backs, chests and arms, we gave them first
[00:14:46] aid, the shooter was still active at that
[00:14:49] moment, according to the police, the shooter is one of the
[00:14:52] institute's students, he fired more than... 20 times with a
[00:14:56] pistol that belonged to his grandfather and he was found to have about
[00:15:00] 30 additional ammunition. The police
[00:15:03] specified that the shooter had murdered his grandparents at his
[00:15:06] home before heading to his institute and opening fire. I am
[00:15:10] deeply saddened not only for the victims, but also to confirm that
[00:15:13] an incident of this type can occur in our country. Therefore,
[00:15:17] the government has not authorized the expansion of the right to gun
[00:15:21] ownership, precisely for this reason.
[00:15:26] The political commitments of recent years to toughen
[00:15:29] legislation on gun ownership have not prevented
[00:15:33] shootings from multiplying. This is the second fatal shooting
[00:15:37] at an educational center in Thailand this
[00:15:39] year. We are coming to the end of this newscast, as always,
[00:15:43] the invitation to you to stay here on this screen on France 24.
[00:16:02] Welcome to Correspondents, the France 24 program that invites you to take
[00:16:05] a tour around the world with our network of journalists, I am Pedro
[00:16:09] Nelson Ruiz, we begin and we do so in
[00:16:12] Morocco, after the tension due to the most recent migratory wave
[00:16:16] of nationals to the Spanish city of Ceuta, a France
[00:16:20] 24 team traveled to the area, where thousands of undocumented
[00:16:23] migrants have already been returned to their country, the crisis
[00:16:26] sparked a new debate on migratory control in Europe and at the
[00:16:30] center are its protagonists, what is
[00:16:33] the reality behind the exodus from a Morocco where opportunities
[00:17:07] 6 years old denounces that she went to ask for asylum and that the Spanish authorities prevented
[00:17:11] her from exercising the right. They told me that they had nothing to do for me, that no one asked
[00:17:15] me to come. On the night of Thursday, July 30,
[00:17:19] tens of thousands of nationals and citizens
[00:17:22] from other African countries gathered in Castillejos, after seeing on social
[00:17:25] media that the Moroccan police had lifted border control. Young people and
[00:17:29] entire families tried to cross by swimming and walking over the
[00:17:32] rocks. Nuaila and Tasnim tried with the idea of finding better
[00:17:36] future prospects.
[00:18:07] full of people outdoors, many like Autman and his
[00:18:10] companions denounced the lack of safe routes to
[00:18:13] migrate. We earn the minimum wage of 300 dirhams, it is
[00:18:17] impossible to obtain visas to make a living, our future is in the
[00:18:20] sea. The following days the chaos ceased, but the tragedy does not
[00:18:24] end, like Umaima there are many mothers looking for their missing
[00:18:27] children. I only ask God to return my son and
[00:18:31] help all the mothers who are looking for theirs.
[00:18:33] suyos.
[00:18:36] The Spanish authorities have recovered more than 70 bodies, in
[00:18:39] Morocco more than a dozen deaths have been identified, organizations
[00:18:43] such as Caminando Fronteras and the Moroccan Association for Human Rights assure that
[00:18:46] there are more victims and demand that both countries cease the
[00:18:49] political instrumentalization of migrations and the right to
[00:18:53] life. Heat waves, increasingly
[00:18:56] frequent in Europe, are beginning to change some routines in
[00:19:00] places as touristy as Spain. Our correspondent in
[00:19:04] Madrid, Marina Colorado, spoke with tourists and denied. that
[00:19:07] they try to navigate, a city that during these months is
[00:19:11] suffering very high
[00:19:13] temperatures.
[00:19:15] Spain is the second most visited country in the world after
[00:19:19] France, gastronomy, culture, heritage, mountains,
[00:19:22] beach and sun, lots of sun, sometimes
[00:19:26] too much. Since the summer began, on June 21, the country has
[00:19:30] already gone through several heat waves, extreme
[00:19:33] temperatures that test the resistance of tourists. Coming from Galicia
[00:19:37] we are. used to much more trees, much more green everywhere
[00:19:40] and more breeze here, it's like being in
[00:19:43] an oven basically, so, for the next time I would consider coming
[00:19:47] more in winter or autumn, trying
[00:19:50] to find some shade because the
[00:19:54] heat has really affected us a lot especially those of us who come with
[00:19:57] children, El Retiro Park is one of the natural
[00:20:00] climate refuges that Madrid has, the businesses that work around
[00:20:04] this oasis and the tourists who decide. by it
[00:20:08] also adapt their schedules to avoid the central hours of the day which
[00:20:11] are the hottest, normally in June we might have
[00:20:15] two tours in the morning, even three, now there is only
[00:20:19] one tour and in the afternoon many times
[00:20:22] in the afternoon due to scheduling issues, hardly anyone comes,
[00:20:26] in the afternoon maybe a couple of people come, in the morning you have seen
[00:20:30] 8 or 10 people, it is very hot, but if you don't think
[00:20:33] too much about it, it's not so bad, you make your plans but something
[00:20:37] more than... We do things in the early morning and in the late
[00:20:40] evening and reserve the rest of the day for siestas and
[00:20:43] relaxing in the hotel. That's why
[00:20:46] we came to the park early before it gets too hot. Thank goodness
[00:20:50] there's air conditioning.
[00:20:53] Adapting cities to be more pleasant in extreme temperatures
[00:20:57] that are increasingly frequent, is crucial for countries
[00:21:01] like Spain where
[00:22:26] Good afternoon, welcome to the Canal 14 news update for this

[00:23:07] General of the Republic and said that the arrest of former Guerrero
[00:23:11] governor Ángel Aguirre is not a political matter,
[00:23:15] but rather the evidence obtained from various investigations by the
[00:23:18] FGR carried out since. eight months ago, the president
[00:23:22] explained that, as a result of the investigations, a more
[00:23:24] detailed analysis of the telephone calls on the night of the
