[00:00:00] Yes, Rapa Nui, it's Rapa Nui that has the most possibilities,
[00:00:03] obviously we also have to
[00:00:06] be said, the most affected in take it with a pinch of salt, Javi, because you know that an alert was raised, obviously they continue
[00:00:09] working, but it can happen like the
[00:00:11] aftershocks, no, yes, yes, as we said, there were more aftershocks, as
[00:00:15] you said Lili, one of 6.6, so that
[00:00:18] is a very strong aftershock,
[00:00:21] so one would expect the aftershocks to start decreasing in magnitude
[00:00:25] waves, but so far as the time of the main earthquake moves away, but as
[00:00:29] we repeat, less than 24 hours have passed, less than 20 hours
[00:00:32] so we have to be still on alert,
[00:00:36] can come out, but so far also the state of Panama
[00:00:39] reported more than 300 evacuees
[00:00:43] for the moment and 400 affected buildings, among
[00:00:47] them 188
[00:00:49] second plant that is in schools, so also daily
[00:00:51] life in Panama will
[00:00:54] operates, it says, 20% of slowly return, I imagine next week we will have to
[00:00:58] tsunami alert for nine countries that so see how classes resume and and when. The
[00:01:01] airport will return to totally normal operation,
[00:01:04] the countries that are most at risk, obviously, are those that are
[00:01:08] on alert now, Ecuador
[00:01:12] and Colombia, obviously, are at risk of a tsunami.
[00:01:15] This happened in the Pitalosa Arriba area, where the depth is
[00:01:19] 12.6 km, as Javier
[00:01:23] helicopters and so on so just said, these collapsed buildings, the cars, look, let's put the full images, please, look at the
[00:01:27] images, obviously taken with cell phones.
[00:01:31] When this happens, people run,
[00:01:34] you know where the most affected city
[00:01:37] was, it's the one that's
[00:01:39] yes, well, let's go forward, well, 300 km away because there are colonial structures, he explained to
[00:01:43] us yesterday clear are the in fact we have the
[00:01:47] image if we look for it later when
[00:01:50] southwest of we can calmly the dome of a historical colonial church because it is a
[00:01:53] town that precisely
[00:01:56] keeps things like Paraty in Brazil.
[00:02:20] a little bit there, there it is, perfect, otherwise you'll kill me with
[00:02:28] those things in
[00:02:30] amount so far, so far at least 27
[00:02:33] minor injuries, yes, pay attention to this, these are the
[00:02:36] official data, obviously 27 minor injuries so
[00:02:39] far, so far we are talking about 300
[00:02:44] that many times people say the man, what evacuees, and more than 400
[00:02:47] affected buildings,
[00:02:50] more than 400 affected buildings,
[00:02:53] obviously the initial reports reflect damage to
[00:02:56] homes, educational centers, hospitals, bridges,
[00:03:00] roads, routes in different provinces of the
[00:03:03] country, this is announced and reported by the
[00:03:07] this, because what they also say is that the national protection system, let's see, the most
[00:03:10] affected area, as we said at the
[00:03:15] obviously so far beginning, the most affected area where the epicenter was Pitalosa
[00:03:18] Arriba, which has a depth of
[00:03:21] 12.6 km, obviously the collapsed cars too, the
[00:03:25] so far, they have not collapsed buildings, we are obviously working on self-destructed and everything that this
[00:03:28] earthquake of 7.7 on the Richter
[00:03:33] they were about to leave and scale generates. Look, we are also seeing, Javi, that
[00:03:36] people were caught in their cars, obviously, in the middle of the day, they were working, they were, yes, yes, full
[00:03:39] midday, 4 minutes
[00:03:43] before 1 in the afternoon in Panama, when the
[00:03:46] earthquake happened, the kids at school, look at the pool,
[00:03:49] look, look how the pool moves, no,
[00:03:52] terrible, terrible, well, and so far, obviously, they talk about more, now we will
[00:03:56] show the church, which is Penonomé.
[00:04:00] so far This is the commercial shopping mall, well this shopping mall, this is the shopping mall, look at how people
[00:04:04] run, go down the stairs, I'll tell you, this shopping mall, this shopping mall is called the animal
[00:04:08] shopping mall, yes, why is it called the animal shopping mall? Because it's a huge
[00:04:11] shopping mall, the shopping mall is very big, I think it's like
[00:04:14] six blocks around where
[00:04:18] it's very cheap because of taxes, Javi, it's very cheap
[00:04:22] and how do people identify the entrances? By animals,
[00:04:25] there's an elephant, there's a giraffe, there's a lion, I mean statues, not
[00:04:28] from there. From there you enter the place, look at that
[00:04:32] shopping mall, it has, it's all flat, no floors, when
[00:04:36] I went there were no floors, I don't know if they built them now, but it's
[00:04:38] all, it's all at ground level, but look at the
[00:04:42] destruction and the movement of the
[00:04:44] shopping mall, the desperation of the people, going down from the place, food
[00:04:48] court and so on, that's a shopping mall that's very, very
[00:04:52] busy and then the images we're seeing on our screen right
[00:04:56] now, look, the church, Javi, we have to refer to it.
[00:05:02] in Los Santos, the cathedral
[00:05:04] of no, what's it called, Anastasio, which
[00:05:08] is in Penonomé and the region is called Los Santos.
[00:05:12] Yes, it's there, it's the colonial neighborhood I was telling you about, the
[00:05:15] testimonies, the truth is that people are obviously terrified by this, how many
[00:05:19] years, Javi, since this happened, it's not that there was an
[00:05:23] important earthquake in Panama City in the 60s, he told us yesterday, but
[00:05:27] for something of this same magnitude, not until the beginning of the
[00:05:30] 20th century or the end of the 19th century,
[00:05:33] this they said, but in recent decades, the
[00:05:36] current generation does not remember anything similar.
[00:05:39] Correct, well, there we are also seeing, obviously
[00:05:51] they are in some way also asking for humanitarian aid eh
[00:05:55] water for obviously water which is the most important thing,
[00:05:58] bleach, non-perishable food, but well, the truth is
[00:06:02] reconstruction materials that will be seen later, no, tremendous what is
[00:06:05] happening in Panama. Pay attention to this
[00:06:11] far has ceased. It must be said, but obviously
[00:06:14] they continue to follow minute by minute what may happen in the next few hours with
[00:06:18] respect to the aftershocks, they talk about more than 100 aftershocks after the
[00:06:21] earthquake, there were 130 exactly, 130
[00:06:24] exactly, 130 but they continue, obviously,
[00:06:28] expectant due to this tragic situation that Panama is experiencing,
[00:06:31] so all our love and support to the
[00:06:35] people of Panama and we will continue
[00:13:25] 3 in the morning,
[00:13:28] we continue, obviously, with the tragedy in
[00:13:31] Panama, the commotion continues due to the strong
[00:13:34] earthquake,
[00:13:36] nine countries issued a tsunami
[00:13:38] alert,
[00:13:41] official information is awaited about possible
[00:13:44] victims,
[00:13:47] the images are
[00:13:48] shocking,
[00:13:53] this earthquake of seven. point seven on the Richter
[00:13:56] scale, we are talking that it has not
[00:14:00] even been a day since the tremor in
[00:14:04] Panama,
[00:14:07] we recently told you that the Panamanian president is touring the most
[00:14:10] affected areas, obviously what they are asking for is humanitarian
[00:14:14] aid,
[00:14:17] the aftershocks are incessant, they talk
[00:14:20] about more than 130 aftershocks, Lili just
[00:14:23] confirmed it. And
[00:14:25] the tsunami alert has been lifted, obviously, Lili, there
[00:14:29] are countries that remain
[00:14:33] on alert because it has been lifted,
[00:14:36] but they remain attentive, yes, totally, people say they are still in panic because
[00:14:40] it was so strong that they were afraid and they
[00:14:43] are afraid, no, there are the tweets that you mentioned on X,
[00:14:47] really, José Raúl Mulino who says we thank
[00:14:50] God for protecting the Panamanian people, we are going to activate
[00:14:54] immediately. a plan for structural evaluation and support for
[00:14:57] all affected people, clear, because
[00:15:00] there are still evacuation centers, especially in that area that we
[00:15:04] told you is more than 300 km from the capital
[00:15:07] and that was the most affected, the area of Los Santos, as it is
[00:15:11] called, and what is being evaluated now are the structures, especially
[00:15:15] these colonial structures, we saw the dome of the church, we saw
[00:15:19] buildings that dismembered,
[00:15:22] fallen roofs, even at the airport. or something
[00:15:25] similar, some areas that were
[00:15:28] damaged, so to speak, with
[00:15:32] some cracked buildings, in
[00:15:34] fact the airport is called... Tocumen
[00:15:38] which was just enabled
[00:15:42] in the last few hours, but it has evacuees in that area
[00:15:45] eh, the idea was for some at the moment
[00:15:49] that everything happened, even that they stay on the runway until
[00:15:52] everything stabilizes, they said at that moment, now they are
[00:15:56] also looking at the landing areas to
[00:15:59] see if they are not in any danger, there is a small
[00:16:03] coastal town called Tonosí,
[00:16:04] Tonosí
[00:16:07] eh that, in that area the epicenter of the
[00:16:10] earthquake was also located, yes, eh, obviously there are no records of
[00:16:13] victims in the area, but the coastal towns are the ones that
[00:16:17] are most attentive due to the sea, obviously
[00:16:21] they talk about incessant landslides because you
[00:16:24] know that buildings continue to
[00:16:27] collapse after it has happened,
[00:16:31] eh, there are injured people, for example, they talk about a woman
[00:16:34] who broke her arm in that
[00:16:38] place, eh injured but not seriously,
[00:16:41] obviously the guard is already going to
[00:16:44] be working incessantly in the place, they talk about a hotel where the
[00:16:48] most tremors were felt, which is called the Kiki Hotel that
[00:16:52] collapsed in that coastal area, eh the United States is
[00:16:55] collaborating, it is helping with
[00:17:00] far, but the truth is the images are shocking, obviously
[00:17:04] we are talking about that it happened yesterday. at
[00:17:08] 12:56 and it hasn't even been a day yet, no,
[00:17:11] exactly, and what is being reviewed now are the
[00:17:14] roads, so to speak, why? Because there is a lot of disaster, there are
[00:17:18] overturned columns, eh, they said trees in some area,
[00:17:22] the epicenter as we said 10 km, to the
[00:17:27] the town of Pitasola Arriba, that's already, look, like
[00:17:31] this you see this is how the streets were, look at what we show you, this is the
[00:17:35] road, one of the roads that... connects precisely Panama
[00:17:39] with this area of the southwest, no
[00:17:42] sun, yes, it's the Torio road, they show
[00:17:45] us here in Mariato, province of eh
[00:17:48] Veraguas, look how terrible it turned out, tremendous and how the
[00:17:52] asphalt opens, what is impressive, the truth is
[00:17:56] that eh 27 injured if it's official
[00:17:59] no, about 300 evacuees,
[00:18:03] about 400 affected buildings and as...
[00:18:07] high color eh the Panamanian Roberto Manodepiedra Durán,
[00:18:11] surely Lily will remember, is one of the most recognized
[00:18:14] athletes, totally eh multi-champion boxer and who has a
[00:18:17] strong bond here with Argentina, he has come several times to the country eh
[00:18:21] he had a close relationship with Ronia Castro with Locomotora
[00:18:24] Castro eh and that well and he also spoke and well
[00:18:28] he called for the unity of the Panamanian people not to
[00:18:32] try to move forward this situation
[00:18:35] yes we are showing. the map obviously the
[00:18:39] aftershocks, the aftershocks, look at what it is more than
[00:18:41] 130, yes, also eh, well, also
[00:18:45] there was a post from the former president of Panama who showed his
[00:18:48] destroyed house in Sonat, who is Ricardo
[00:18:51] Martinelli, look, he shows the house of Sonat after the terrible
[00:18:55] earthquake, he also shows it on his social
[00:18:57] networks,
[00:18:59] eh, he is still touring, sorry, the president is touring eh, at this moment
[00:19:03] he continues, because yesterday he, look, there it is, he is part of the group.
[00:19:07] group when
[00:19:10] what he affirms is that clear this is humanitarian
[00:19:14] aid live we are working in Panama Guido
[00:19:17] look because aid clear immediately not the countries that
[00:19:21] are around those that can already see the
[00:19:24] needs that are being sought quickly
[00:19:27] solutions for those affected by the earthquake because now we have to rebuild
[00:19:31] again, no rebuild would be the
[00:19:35] word and that is what the minister even
[00:19:38] of government is saying who is
[00:19:40] touring, the minister, sorry, because
[00:19:44] it is Minoska Montalbo, that's what
[00:19:47] the minister is called, she is with the president, they have divided to
[00:19:50] tour the different areas, you know the first
[00:19:54] ones who arrived, of course, according to the
[00:19:57] government and aid is from the Development Bank of Latin
[00:20:01] America and the Caribbean, which says that it contemplates a donation of
[00:20:04] $250,000
[00:20:07] eh. and the availability of up to 50
[00:20:11] million dollars to deal with the emergency, this is the
[00:20:14] first aid that is arriving beyond what you are seeing Guido live,
[00:20:18] to calculate it while we are working live from
[00:20:21] Panama, the epicenter of the
[00:20:24] earthquake was 200 km from the Panama
[00:20:28] Canal, the Panama Canal for you to situate
[00:20:31] yourself is where about 3%
[00:20:35] of world maritime
[00:20:38] trade circulates, imagine the
[00:20:41] amount, the amount of ships in the Panama
[00:20:44] Canal, the affluence that that
[00:20:47] place has, obviously so far yes. operating normally,
[00:20:50] continues operating normally, that also has to
[00:20:56] the area, imagine that it is 200 km
[00:20:59] from where the epicenter of the earthquake was, they remain
[00:21:02] attentive to everything that may happen at these hours, not a day has
[00:21:06] passed, not a day since the strong
[00:21:09] tremor, obviously they are checking the number of injured, look,
[00:21:13] alert for dangerous
[00:21:15] no deaths have been registered, that
[00:21:19] is the important thing. For now,
[00:21:22] no deaths, obviously it can happen, official figures
[00:21:26] there are no deaths and obviously they are
[00:21:30] working to find any fatal
[00:21:34] victims, yes, they talked about damages of 300
[00:21:37] evacuees and people who are abandoning their homes obviously due to
[00:21:41] risk and fear, especially in the coastal areas of Panama and
[00:21:44] look, put the
[00:21:47] image
[00:21:49] that's humanitarian aid that is arriving at this moment, while the president of Panama, we are live,
[00:21:53] correct, while the president of Panama continues to tour the most
[00:21:57] affected areas by the
[00:21:59] earthquake, clear, because they arrive in Panama and from there the
[00:22:02] humanitarian flights go to the different regions to
[00:22:06] do it by air the aid logically because we
[00:22:10] showed you that the roads still
[00:22:13] suffered damage that need repair, the
[00:22:16] safest way to arrive is by air. which
[00:22:20] is this, which are the army aid planes, because imagine, Lili,
[00:22:23] that after this tremor, all the accesses were congested, especially in the
[00:22:27] capital,
[00:22:28] capital,
[00:22:31] many employees leave work early from the offices due to evacuations, the
[00:22:35] uncertainty, no, eh about the conditions, let's see, the
[00:22:39] possible structural damage of the buildings, we are talking
[00:22:42] about more than 1 88 buildings
[00:22:46] that are the compromised ones, this was felt with great force.
[00:22:58] because the Ministry of Health staff is there providing
[00:23:01] care, of course, to the injured, but technical
[00:23:05] evaluations are being coordinated to determine
[00:23:08] if the structure can operate normally because there are
[00:23:12] even hospital sectors, logical, because this is not the
[00:23:15] hospital, you know what an earthquake is like, there is no difference
[00:23:19] with anything. from the smallest to the largest, from good
[00:23:22] construction to bad construction, everything is damaged and the hospital
[00:23:26] now due to the aftershocks that occurred yesterday
[00:23:30] they are evaluating because it was felt a lot, especially in this
[00:23:33] hospital, look how far we have come, correct, we are working live, ladies and gentlemen, we are
[00:23:36] working live from Panama, eh
[00:23:39] we reiterate this phenomenon, this earthquake
[00:23:42] occurred yesterday afternoon, actually 12:56 local
[00:23:46] time, it is estimated that it was 7.7 on the
[00:23:50] Richter scale, that is what the United States Geological
[00:23:53] Survey says, pay attention to
[00:23:57] movement was felt strongly, people are writing to me from everywhere, from
[00:24:00] Colombia it also affected Costa Rica,
[00:24:05] we say this with great caution because obviously they are
[00:24:08] working, the authorities have not reported
[00:24:12] fatalities
[00:24:15] reported fatalities, but yes, obviously,
[00:24:18] there is talk of these possible dangerous tsunami waves in the
[00:24:22] coming hours in Panama, Colombia,
[00:24:26] Ecuador, Peru, Nicaragua,
[00:24:29] Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico, Chile and
[00:24:32] Hawaii, no, yes, and Panama, which is right next
[00:24:36] to Colombia and very close to Venezuela,
[00:24:39] I mean, in that radius, how these earthquakes are happening,
[00:24:43] no, in this area of South
[00:24:47] America and Central America, very close are the countries
[00:24:50] where these types of phenomena occur and that one
[00:24:54] really wonders if they will continue to expand
[00:24:57] because in a very short time earthquakes occurred,
[00:25:00] first they remember in Venezuela, especially in La
[00:25:03] Guaira, which was one of the most affected cities, Caracas also and
[00:25:07] then what happened in Colombia with also several affected cities, among
[00:25:11] them Cali, one of the most affected
[00:25:14] and and now in Panama no, right there, right
[00:25:17] there, everything is very close.
[00:25:21] kilometers very close it's 10:55, it's 2 hours
[00:25:24] more in Panama, in fact now in
[00:25:28] a minute, in a minute it will be exactly
[00:25:32] one day since this 24
[00:25:35] hours, clear, one day 24, correct, 24 hours eh
[00:25:39] 12:56 it is completing one day at this
[00:25:42] moment obviously while the president continues to tour, the entire
[00:25:46] government, the most affected areas, the images are really shocking.
[00:25:50] Obviously, the Panama airport still has cancelled flights, that must be said
[00:25:53] and it is not operating due to a matter of risk and so on, the Panama
[00:25:57] Canal that we recently told you that it covers
[00:26:01] 3% of world
[00:26:03] maritime trade,
[00:26:07] world is operating normally, but what they just told me, I'm in a Telegram
[00:26:11] channel that gives you all the information minute by minute minute, what they tell you is
[00:26:14] that they are not ruling out that it could somehow be closed,
[00:26:18] especially because it's the weekend, we have to wait, sure, we have to wait, the weekend, but
[00:26:21] well, you know what problem, what
[00:26:24] problem there is at this moment also and that's why it helps,
[00:26:27] it has to do with this, it can be contaminated, they think that
[00:26:31] the national water treatment plant is contaminated,
[00:26:34] precisely due to
[00:26:37] the collapse of some
[00:26:40] buildings also from the plant,
[00:26:44] so beware because now they find that there is no
[00:26:47] potable water and they have a
[00:26:51] the area called Chilibre which is also in Panama City that only
[00:26:57] the capacity, eh, so the water problem is
[00:27:01] fundamental now for... that's why among the aid that is being
[00:27:04] requested eh to neighboring countries, logically those
[00:27:08] who can contribute is water, but of course
[00:27:11] eh those who can receive it most are from nearby countries because until
[00:27:15] imagine us who arrived there no eh
[00:27:18] well eh what we have to say also is
[00:27:21] that eh in Los Santos there are still collapsed
[00:27:25] homes and this is the greatest danger, many churches,
[00:27:29] many governmental units which is the most
[00:27:33] affected place, they fear that there may be some fatal victim, hopefully
[00:27:36] not, but precisely Lilia there was an Argentine, an Argentine
[00:27:40] in the airport, obviously we are talking, we are talking about
[00:27:44] a situation of cancelled flights and so on in Argentine, Julio
[00:27:47] Utca, who was waiting to take a flight back to Buenos
[00:27:50] Aires and he recounted the terror at the airport due to
[00:27:54] this earthquake situation and so on, the images are really shocking,
[00:27:58] we are seeing again, let's see, put me live, the image of the
[00:28:02] air guard arriving, obviously the
[00:28:06] humanitarian aid, this is live also eh, that are
[00:28:10] marking the map that are marking the aftershocks, look
[00:28:13] Ido, for for what, of course, to determine where
[00:28:17] aid will go, that's why eh the
[00:28:20] Panamanian television is now showing the places of the
[00:28:23] aftershocks precisely to
[00:28:26] know what could happen and where this aid needs to be
[00:28:29] determined and the epicenter which was 200 km from the Panama
[00:28:33] Canal, we are talking about the center of Panama, there was the epicenter of this
[00:28:37] earthquake of 7.7 and
[00:28:40] it's 58, well, a day, 24 hours
[00:28:43] after the seismic
[00:28:46] movement in Panama, seven
[00:28:48] injured, yes, the truth is that a miracle, we have to say it like that,
[00:28:52] a miracle, because 7.7, much greater
[00:28:56] than what you saw and what we showed you in Venezuela
[00:28:59] and even in Colombia, but with very high aftershocks.
[00:29:03] eh, the fact that they are close to two points is
[00:29:06] a lot for an aftershock and well,
[00:29:09] luckily there was no tsunami, hopefully everything continues like this,
[00:29:13] because we need humanitarian aid now for Panama too,
[00:29:17] beyond that it is and it is a city a little more put together,
[00:29:20] no, so far the aftershock alerts have been reactivated, but well,
[00:30:44] well, a horrible day, a horrible day, a great day for you to be
[00:30:47] there watching us and informing us about all
[00:30:50] the news we have about retirees, which are a lot,
[00:30:54] last Saturday the truth is we couldn't fulfill what we told you
[00:30:58] that we had a lot of information.
