[00:01:13] Seven airports suspended their operations, including Pereira's. The [00:01:16] Colombian Geological Survey assures [00:01:20] that today's event has been the earthquake of [00:01:22] N+ Univision Bay greatest magnitude recorded in the [00:01:24] my cat and get out alive, despite country in the last decade. The only thing I saw outside the [00:01:28] window was [00:01:31] dust, it was as if the earth was [00:01:35] swallowing us. N+ Univisión is in the disaster [00:01:39] zones with team coverage.

Welcome, good afternoon, I'm Paulina [00:02:09] Sodia, in Ilia Calderón's absence, today a powerful earthquake of [00:02:12] magnitude 7.4 struck Colombia, destroying [00:02:16] dozens of buildings, hospitals and homes. The government confirms [00:02:19] that there are at least [00:02:22] flashlights, whatever you have in 111 dead and hundreds of people injured and trapped under the rubble. The epicenter is [00:02:26] located in San José del Palmar, department of. [00:02:30] Cities such as Cali, Armenia, Pereira and Manizales are [00:02:34] reporting serious damage, please [00:02:36] see [00:02:43] such is the case of this four-story building in Pereira that did not resist the [00:02:47] earthquake and collapsed, generating, as you can see, a cloud of dust and [00:02:50] tonight we have team coverage starting with Jessid Baquero who is [00:02:54] currently in Cali, go ahead Jessid, we [00:02:57] are listening to you. [00:03:01] Paulina, I greet you from Quinta Street, the most popular street [00:03:05] in Cali, I am in a sector called Tequendama, and as you can see [00:03:09] behind me there is a bakery or rather what was left of [00:03:12] it, because it came down, it had five floors that [00:03:15] operated there and now they are twisted iron and fallen [00:03:19] bricks and you can [00:03:21] Farms says it has stopped working with still see part of its sign, throughout the day its owners and [00:03:25] workers have carried out rescue work themselves trying [00:03:29] to see what... they can find or perhaps find someone there [00:03:33] because they went out through the top and many of the people who enter [00:03:37] the bakery, of course, do so through the first floor, today throughout [00:03:40] the day there have been rescue efforts throughout Cali [00:03:43] and throughout the day the different forces have been [00:03:47] trying to help, there is still a lot to do, there is still a lot [00:03:50] to do for them to be able [00:03:54] to achieve what they would like, which is to find more lives than [00:03:58] experienced on the Palogrande campus of to find more bodies, to be able to save people because this moment is [00:04:00] crucial. Night fell and this moment is much [00:04:04] more difficult to do, this bakery was the most traditional in the [00:04:07] neighborhood, its owner is here with me and I want to [00:04:11] ask him at what moment he left, how did you realize [00:04:15] what was happening, good evening, good evening, [00:04:17] well, obviously the earthquake started but it [00:04:20] didn't start that strong, [00:04:23] regularly in Cali from time to time the earthquakes [00:04:26] start but they don't end like this, it happened suddenly, 20, 30 [00:04:30] seconds it was too strong, my reaction was to open a window on the [00:04:33] second floor and go out to the roof, at that moment the [00:04:37] building began to collapse and I literally reached the first floor by [00:04:40] gravity, but nothing happened to me, the people [00:04:44] who work with me all also left through one side of the [00:04:47] building, through the same roof, through the different access [00:04:51] routes, well, what happened to him is dramatic, [00:04:55] one of the testimonies of what happened today in Cali and what [00:04:58] we are trying to... do because there is still a lot to do, a chronology of what [00:05:02] happened today that will not be [00:05:03] forgotten. [00:05:07] Monday had barely begun when the earth shook in southwestern [00:05:11] Colombia. [00:05:15] A powerful earthquake of 7.4 shook several [00:05:18] cities in the center and west of the country, Bogotá, Cali, Manizales, [00:05:22] Armenia, Pereira and [00:05:23] Medellín. [00:05:26] The epicenter was located in San José del Palmar, a small municipality [00:05:30] in the Department of Chocó in the Pacific region of [00:05:33] Colombia. [00:05:36] According to the Colombian Geological Survey, it is the earthquake [00:05:39] of greatest magnitude recorded in the country. in the last decade and [00:05:43] it was also followed by two aftershocks of magnitudes 2.8 [00:05:47] and 4.8, here in the city of Cali, [00:05:50] the earthquake hit with great force, there have been [00:05:53] dozens of [00:05:55] injured, [00:05:58] and damage to buildings and infrastructure. The [00:06:00] Santiago de Cali University suffered serious damage to its [00:06:04] facades that at times fell in pieces. My [00:06:08] God, it just shook in Cali, the most [00:06:11] horrible thing. This [00:06:14] the city, still has fresh the wound of what happened in [00:06:17] Venezuela, it was as if the earth was [00:06:20] swallowing us [00:06:24] and everything was falling, everything was breaking, what I [00:06:27] was experiencing is the same thing I saw in Venezuela, I saw the collapse [00:06:31] of neighboring buildings, miraculously I managed to rescue [00:06:36] my knee injury, and I managed to go down, I managed to go down those nine [00:06:40] floors next to the... building [00:06:43] eh, a building yes, it collapsed, it [00:06:47] fell and knocked down the wall next to the building where we were, I only saw the [00:06:51] dust from the buildings that were falling, I heard screams for help from those who were still [00:06:55] under the rubble, and people [00:06:58] looking for people who were still asking [00:07:00] for help, [00:07:02] an elderly man was being lowered with [00:07:06] ladders from outside a window from a fifth [00:07:10] floor, the earthquake [00:07:15] la Espriella, who in a first report declared a state of [00:07:18] emergency and called for the unity of the country, today all [00:07:22] Colombians, without ideological or political distinctions, [00:07:26] we must unite for a single cause, which are the [00:07:29] victims of this natural disaster, if you can bring water, [00:07:35] the house, the tragedy has once again put the spotlight on Colombia's relationship with the [00:07:39] Pacific Ring of Fire. Colombia is located at the... [00:07:42] northwestern end of this strip that also concentrates [00:07:45] 90% of the earthquakes in the [00:07:47] world, [00:07:49] well, it's not just Cali, there are more cities, as the report said and [00:07:53] as Susana said in this same segment, what comes to [00:07:57] mind most is that memory of Venezuela, especially for those of [00:08:00] us who were there covering it, but now it's happening here in our country and [00:08:04] we hope that the magnitude is smaller and that all possible [00:08:08] lives can be saved, people here need flashlights, people here need water, [00:08:12] people here need heavy machinery so that more [00:08:15] rescues can be carried out, I will go back to you for now, [00:08:19] Jess, thank you very much, I send you a very very strong hug, [00:08:23] also from Cali we are receiving images of the evacuation of the [00:08:26] university hospital patients who suffered a partial collapse, as [00:08:30] confirmed by the governor of Valle del Cauca, who also added that [00:08:34] there are still patients trapped under the rubble, in Cali alone [00:08:38] more than 10 public and private hospitals were evacuated or closed due [00:08:42] to structural damage and in Manizales the mayor [00:08:45] described the situation as very tragic and difficult, [00:08:49] there the destruction of more than a [00:08:52] dozen [00:08:53] buildings is being reported, [00:09:00] these are images of the moment of the earthquake in the vicinity of the [00:09:04] University of Caldas where there was massive panic and also [00:09:07] evacuations, the same was [00:09:11] the National University of Colombia. [00:09:18] This other video is also from Manizales, please see how the community [00:09:22] organizes itself to remove rubble from a collapsed structure [00:09:25] and Reinaldo de Fernández is precisely in Manizales, [00:09:29] go ahead Reinaldo, we are listening to you, good evening, Paulina, how are you, I am [00:09:33] right in the Colombian coffee region, specifically in the city of [00:09:36] Manizales, where right at this precise moment work is being [00:09:40] carried out to remove... rubble from a [00:09:43] building that completely collapsed in front of the [00:09:46] Catholic university of this same city, [00:09:50] many people are shocked and have come [00:09:53] to this precise place to see, to see if there are signs of [00:09:57] life, although the authorities continue to work on removing [00:10:00] rubble, that's why I am here with Mr. José [00:10:04] Antonio, who is a resident of this city and tell me Mr. [00:10:07] José Antonio, how did you experience the earthquake, what was the strongest, the strongest [00:10:11] was when the volume of the tremor began to increase [00:10:15] and people came out of their houses and [00:10:18] buildings screaming, people coming out wrapped in a [00:10:21] towel, there were elderly people [00:10:25] houses and arsenals and moved to other places to [00:10:29] be able to help them, but it was impressive, the city was [00:10:32] totally destroyed in many sectors, but great, [00:10:36] great catastrophes were the cathedral here in the building that [00:10:40] collapsed, here ahead 10 blocks more there is [00:10:44] another building also collapsed, but it is very [00:10:46] large, thank you very much, thank you very much Mr. José Antonio for the information and according to what the [00:10:50] authorities say there are more than 4000 affected in the [00:10:53] department of Cá. I go back to you in the studio, thanks [00:10:57] Reinaldo for the report, and look, in the department of El Chocó, where [00:11:01] the epicenter of this earthquake was, the situation is especially [00:11:05] complicated, the communities are rural and also difficult to access [00:11:08] and that is delaying the evaluation of the damage and also the rescue [00:11:12] efforts. The governor reported that in the capital Quibdó there are [00:11:16] also injured and serious damage to the buildings. Vilma Tarasona has the [00:11:19] full report. [00:11:22] Buildings shook and collapsed like playing [00:11:25] cards in Chocó, the poorest department in Colombia in the south of the [00:11:29] country, where the epicenter of the earthquake was, oh [00:11:32] no, people ran [00:11:35] in terror amidst the mountains of cement and twisted [00:11:39] iron, to which several structures were [00:11:42] reduced, Daniela Condoto says that the house [00:11:45] fell on her, she had been organizing the house when it started [00:11:49] to move and blocks started to fall, the walls started to fall, I [00:11:53] jumped through a wall to... try to get out of the [00:11:57] house because it started to fall and when I went out many [00:12:00] lines were falling, I looked at the house and the house came down in blocks, the house [00:12:04] was totally destroyed, she confesses that she thought [00:12:08] this would be her last day, never in my life did I [00:12:11] think that I wouldn't survive because the blocks were falling, [00:12:15] different houses were falling towards the roads where everyone was just screaming, [00:12:18] screaming because it was very, very difficult to reach [00:12:22] one person to where another was. Daniela says that at [00:12:26] that moment she was taking care of a neighbor's daughter who was trapped, [00:12:29] but I went out and couldn't get the girl out, at that moment I couldn't get the [00:12:33] girl out, when I was outside the neighbors were searching among the [00:12:36] rubble passing where the girl was, thank God she was okay, [00:12:40] they yelled at the girl to jump out a window but the girl's nerves wouldn't let [00:12:44] her jump and a neighbor was able to try to give the girl his hand and he was able [00:12:48] to pull her out, the only hospital in the area is overwhelmed, the governor of the [00:12:51] department told me, I fear that the [00:12:54] death toll will increase because we have not yet managed to remove [00:12:58] all the rubble, we would have to establish that there are no people still [00:13:02] underneath, we have our relief agencies searching, removing [00:13:05] rubble still and Daniela Condoto doesn't know if any of her neighbors [00:13:09] lost their lives, I thought I was [00:13:12] going to die, I thought I wouldn't make it past there, I never in my life thought [00:13:15] I would experience that, that nature, the earth would move in such a [00:13:19] way that everything one built oneself, that same thing would fall [00:13:23] on one to the point of that same thing that with so much effort one [00:13:27] builds takes one's life and the governor of Chocó told me that she has not [00:13:30] had communication with 100% of the municipalities as several are [00:13:34] totally cut off and that is why it is very difficult to make a [00:13:38] real assessment of dead and injured. I return to you. Thank you Vilma. [00:13:42] Time for a very brief pause and when we return there is a new health alert that [00:13:45] involves products such as salsa, pico de gallo and also guacamole. And more [00:13:49] and more young people are seeking emotional help from chatbots, but [00:13:53] many of them are even presenting themselves as therapists and from [00:13:56] Venezuela to Colombia, strong earthquakes shake the region in a few [00:14:00] weeks, today experts explain what is behind these movements, we return with [00:14:04] this and more, there are people trapped, [00:14:08] Game Boosters keep Amaya smelling amazing, even on the longest [00:14:12] days, oh, it smells like sunshine, [00:14:15] hot and citrusy, Game Scent Boosters, lasting fragrance for days that [00:14:19] last, [00:14:22] 250 reasons to join T-Mobile.

[00:17:03] I have some [00:17:08] huge news, and now, what [00:17:11] next? She's happy, look at her face. [00:17:27] It's time to unite [00:17:31] and restore hope, [00:17:33] Univision, together with great artists, presents a special [00:17:37] fundraising concert for our Venezuelan brothers, we are [00:17:40] at the bottom, we get up and continue and continue, the [00:17:44] power of music brings us together in one voice, [00:17:47] united for Venezuela this Sunday at 6 on [00:17:51] Univision, [00:17:55] first it was lettuce and now it's jalapeño peppers imported from [00:17:59] Mexico, they are being recalled from the market here in the United States due to the [00:18:02] risk of possible salmonella contamination. Reina [00:18:06] Rodríguez has more details. [00:18:09] Taylor Farms is recalling several food products containing [00:18:12] jalapeños due to a possible salmonella risk, these include [00:18:16] guacamoles, salsas and pico de gallo sold in stores such as [00:18:20] Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Kroger, in at least [00:18:23] 26 states with a best by date of [00:18:27] August 16, 2026. I think they are focused [00:18:30] more on making money than on selling good products, on giving [00:18:34] quality to people and all that affects [00:18:37] me everywhere, this happens while authorities [00:18:41] investigate an outbreak related to jalapeño peppers imported from [00:18:45] Mexico that has sickened hundreds of people, how can you not [00:18:48] worry about something that can affect your health [00:18:51] apart from your wallet because you have [00:18:55] to heal. Taylor [00:18:59] the accused farmer and is looking for other suppliers. The [00:19:03] company assures that no illnesses linked to its products have been [00:19:06] reported. It is impossible to have billions of products [00:19:10] that are consumed daily and not have problems from [00:19:13] time to time, that's why there are government agencies to [00:19:17] follow that. Health authorities recommend not [00:19:20] consuming any of the recalled products, discarding them immediately [00:19:24] or returning them to the store for a refund. Taylor Farms was already [00:19:28] under scrutiny after recalling its Iceberg lettuce from Mexico due to [00:19:31] an unusual outbreak of cyclosporiasis. This [00:19:34] businesswoman says that the prices of lettuce and jalapeño have dropped [00:19:38] considerably, it went up to 30 something, now it's very [00:19:41] cheap, I have it at $3, the widespread distrust is [00:19:45] affecting some vendors as in this supply center in South Texas, [00:19:49] it affects both the producer and here also, to find the [00:19:53] origin of where it comes from in Macal in Texas, Reina Rodríguez on Emas [00:19:56] Univision, let's change the subject because an artificial intelligence [00:19:59] chatbot can respond in seconds, listen without [00:20:03] judging, it can even give advice on mental health, but what [00:20:07] happens when... young people confuse it with a professional and given this scenario, [00:20:10] California state legislators are contemplating setting limits on these [00:20:14] tools when they present themselves as therapy. Jaime García informs [00:20:18] us. It is estimated that in California, one in eight [00:20:22] adolescents and young adults, have sought [00:20:25] help for their mental health problems such as anxiety and [00:20:28] sadness, using artificial intelligence applications [00:20:31] known as chatbots, which even call themselves [00:20:34] psychologists. The way artificial [00:20:38] intelligence communicates, it seems like it's a real person and it seems like [00:20:42] it's telling the truth, well you can give me advice, if I'm sad, [00:20:46] no, of course, I can give you advice [00:20:49] on how to handle that sadness. [00:20:53] This psychologist points out that chatbots programmed to converse [00:20:56] and answer questions can blur the line between reality [00:21:00] and fiction, making children and young people vulnerable. We have [00:21:04] seen cases where artificial intelligence has [00:21:07] recommended things that are not good. Given this new virtual horizon, [00:21:11] the California legislature is analyzing state bill [00:21:14] SB 903 which [00:21:16] proposes restrictions on the actual operation of chatbots. Among them [00:21:20] are prohibiting these artificial intelligence programs, [00:21:24] accessible through platforms such as Chat GPT and [00:21:27] Open AI, from promoting themselves as therapy, it also prohibits them from [00:21:31] making therapeutic decisions without the [00:21:34] review of a health professional, who must also [00:21:37] disclose the limitations of the chatbot and [00:21:40] will require that whoever wants to use it authorize the [00:21:44] recording of therapy sessions. We must use this new [00:21:47] technology as a [00:21:50] diagnose our patients and to provide [00:21:53] more information, but I think we do need to have [00:21:57] restrictions, everything indicates that this initiative SB 903 [00:22:01] is on track to be approved, in its final vote on August [00:22:05] 13, and if so, it could be sent to the [00:22:08] desk of the Governor of California for his signature, [00:22:11] after August 30, in Los Angeles, [00:22:14] Jaime García, on more Univision, please listen to [00:22:18] this data, 75 thousand visas have been revoked [00:22:22] by the State Department since January 2025, the [00:22:25] aggressive measure primarily punishes foreigners [00:22:28] involved in police incidents, assaults, robberies or [00:22:34] drugs, the federal government strongly warns that a [00:22:38] visa is a privilege, not a right and that it will use all [00:22:41] its resources against those who abuse it, and after the [00:22:45] cancellation of TPS on July 27, almost [00:22:48] 350,000 of us live in uncertainty and also in [00:22:52] fear, [00:22:52] look, [00:23:02] such is the case of this man who falls to the floor crying, as you can see [00:23:06] after agents placed an ankle monitor on him, [00:23:08] in an ICE office in Blue [00:23:12] Ash, Ohio, activists denounce that federal agents are [00:23:15] arresting Haitian citizens everywhere, even doing so in [00:23:19] broad daylight. And President Donald Trump today signed an executive order [00:23:23] that reduces the number of vaccines recommended for children, the new [00:23:26] schedule maintains 12 vaccines, including the measles [00:23:30] vaccine, but others change, please listen, the triple [00:23:34] viral will be divided into three separate doses, while the [00:23:37] flu and COVID vaccines will be the decision of [00:23:41] doctors and patients. [00:23:44] When we return from the break with weeks apart, the earth shakes strongly [00:23:47] in Venezuela and now in Colombia, but... is there any [00:23:50] connection, when we return the experts will explain what is [00:23:54] happening.

First [00:27:32] Venezuela, now Colombia. The earth shook in two [00:27:36] neighboring countries in less than two months and these seismic movements [00:27:39] once again put the so-called Ring of Fire and the intense [00:27:43] tectonic activity of that region under the spotlight. Today, the question many of us ask [00:27:47] is if these earthquakes are connected. Tiffany [00:27:50] Roberts has the answer. [00:27:53] Two catastrophic events in two neighboring countries six [00:27:57] weeks apart, but scientists assure they are not [00:28:00] related. [00:28:02] They indicate that the earthquake in Venezuela was caused by the interaction of the [00:28:06] Caribbean plate with the South American plate and today's in [00:28:09] Colombia was due to the movement of the [00:28:12] Nazca plate, which covers what is Chile, Peru, Colombia, [00:28:15] no, all the countries that are over that part of the Pacific, [00:28:19] if we want to look at it that way. The same Nazca plate caused [00:28:23] two other large earthquakes in Chile in 2010 [00:28:27] of 8.8 magnitude with a death toll of more than [00:28:30] 500 and in Pisco Peru. 2007, [00:28:33] an earthquake of 7.9 that lasted more than 3 minutes and [00:28:37] claimed the lives of nearly 600 people. All [00:28:41] these plates are part of the Ring of Fire, each [00:28:44] plate could be compared to a giant puzzle. The Pacific [00:28:48] plate, when it interacts with the Cocos plate, causes [00:28:52] movements in Mexico, and when the same Pacific plate joins [00:28:55] with that of North America, it causes earthquakes in [00:28:58] California. They are completely different faults then. [00:29:02] So we can rule out a link with Japan, with [00:29:06] Venezuela, because the mechanisms are completely different, [00:29:10] the ruptures are different, some can be like this, others can be [00:29:14] like this, others can be like this, a small earthquake [00:29:17] happens when the plates move only a few centimeters, but [00:29:21] for a larger magnitude one, this happens [00:29:24] when they move about 2 meters approximately, that [00:29:28] that risk is latent, the problem is that we don't know when [00:29:32] it will... but for the same reason, it's important to work on the culture of [00:29:36] earthquakes, the culture of earthquakes, according to the expert, will [00:29:39] help us survive these traumatic events, for example, [00:29:43] families should be prepared beforehand and, if necessary, [00:29:46] conduct drills in their own homes, because science [00:29:50] says it is very likely that an earthquake will happen, the question [00:29:54] is when. In Miami, Florida, Tiffany Roberts N+ [00:29:57] Univision, that's all the news for now, thank you very much for joining us, of [00:30:01] course, we will continue our team coverage, following every detail of what [00:30:04] happens there in Colombia.
