[00:00:00] anticipates another hike before the end of the year, this
[00:00:03] 2026. The increase occurs while energy prices
[00:00:07] continue to pressure inflation, partly due to geopolitical
[00:00:11] tensions occurring here in
[00:00:15] the United States as well. Well, that's how we say goodbye for now. Remember that more information

[00:00:37] of an NBC and Telemundo news helicopter in Los
[00:00:40] Angeles while reporting on the accident have been identified.

[00:00:47] not to see a colleague die. It's journalist
[00:00:52] N+ Univision Bay Eliana Moreno, the pilot of the aircraft, and a person on the ground. Elia died

[00:01:30] intelligence and why more and more Americans are asking for its
[00:01:34] construction to be limited, I left the center

[00:02:00] Univision with Ialderón. Good
[00:02:03] afternoon? We begin with the news that today mourns the Hispanic
[00:02:06] press, the death of journalist Eliana Moreno and
[00:02:10] pilot George Marsiniu, when the helicopter in which
[00:02:13] they were covering a story crashed in Los Angeles. A
[00:02:17] person on the ground, Guatemalan tourist Eddie Gutiérrez Mejía,
[00:02:20] 29 years old, also lost his life. The video
[00:02:24] recorded inside the helicopter
[00:02:26] tonight Ilia, we have the answer in during the coverage will be key evidence to determine what
[00:02:29] happened. Jaime García is live very close to the scene of that
[00:02:33] accident, Jaime, what else is known so
[00:02:35] far?
[00:02:38] Asilia, deep indignation has caused here in Los Angeles, the accident
[00:02:44] sentenced in court, near interest rates on that happened precisely in this yard behind me, they were two
[00:02:47] information professionals who never imagined that bringing
[00:02:50] their audience the information about a tragic
[00:02:54] accident would cost them their lives.
[00:02:58] The images of the flames engulfing the NBC
[00:03:01] Telemundo news helicopter that crashed from the air, causing the death of
[00:03:05] reporter Eliana Moreno and her pilot and cameraman George
[00:03:09] Mansini, as well as a passerby who was at the site
[00:03:12] where the aircraft fell, are striking. We know each other because we are
[00:03:16] parked at the same airport, I am behind
[00:03:19] them, George has known him since
[00:03:23] children risked their lives serving in the 90s, I flew with him to... I met Elia, I think, for the
[00:03:26] last 5 years that
[00:03:30] she has been there constantly, a very kind
[00:03:34] person, she was a unique asset because Eliana was the
[00:03:37] only reporter who reported the news from the air who spoke
[00:03:41] Spanish, the news team was also covering a tragic
[00:03:44] SUV crash into a passenger bus,
[00:03:48] it was the news anchor from NBC
[00:03:51] Channel 4 in Los Angeles who
[00:03:54] confirmed the accident of her helicopter.
[00:03:57] helicóptero.
[00:04:09] newscast with the story of
[00:04:11] the nurses is suing the
[00:04:30] The NTSB, the FBA obviously
[00:04:33] will determine why the engine failed, those who responded to the
[00:04:37] emergency for the truck crash in which two people also died
[00:04:41] and others were injured, heard the helicopter explosion
[00:04:44] a short distance away,
[00:04:47] I said, "Oh, it's so close," I said, "the company fell on us,"
[00:04:51] the medical examiner identified Eddie Gutiérrez, of Guatemalan
[00:04:54] origin, as the third victim of the air accident,
[00:04:58] who was on the ground at the site where...
[00:05:08] and will have a preliminary report on the causes of the accident in 30
[00:05:08] days.
[00:05:13] Jaime, I wanted to ask you precisely about the National Transportation
[00:05:16] Safety Board, have they advanced
[00:05:19] anything?
[00:05:22] No, not at this moment, they have only indicated that precisely that piece
[00:05:25] of evidence which is the video where it is seen how the helicopter is
[00:05:29] going backwards because it is losing altitude, will be
[00:05:33] a key piece of evidence for this investigation, because
[00:05:37] they point out that they are not sure that this aircraft has
[00:05:41] the famous black box that records all the details of
[00:05:45] each flight, they expect that in 180, sorry, that
[00:05:48] in 18 months they will have a final report on
[00:05:52] the investigation, Ilia, Jaime, a hug of solidarity to all our
[00:05:56] colleagues in Los Angeles, precisely the aunt of Eddy Gutiérrez
[00:05:59] Mejía, the person who was on the ground, spoke with N+ Univision in
[00:06:03] Cuilapa, Guatemala, she told us that the 29-year-old
[00:06:06] man, affectionately called Pichi, was visiting
[00:06:10] Los Angeles and walking down the street at the time of the impact, he had not
[00:06:14] even been in the city for 24 hours, for
[00:06:18] us it was a very impactful
[00:06:21] news because we didn't
[00:06:24] believe it, to see him in the morning and then at night
[00:06:27] the news that he was dead, so
[00:06:30] it's something that is unbelievable,
[00:06:34] our solidarity with his family and also with
[00:06:37] our colleagues from Telemundo 52 and NBC
[00:06:41] 4.
[00:06:43] Let's deal with other news of the day. Today, for the first time in 3 years,
[00:06:47] the Federal Reserve raised the interest rate. It's an
[00:06:50] increase of 0.25 percentage points, so
[00:06:54] paying for loans, credit cards and
[00:06:58] mortgages will be more expensive. We borrow less
[00:07:01] and spend less and that's how inflation begins to be controlled.
[00:07:05] Pegui Carranza explains why the increase occurred and how
[00:07:09] consumers receive the announcement.
[00:07:12] essential to try to control inflation, the Federal Reserve
[00:07:16] unanimously voted to raise interest rates for
[00:07:20] the first time in 3 years. Inflation
[00:07:23] is too high and has been for too
[00:07:26] long, said its president Kevin Wars. The increase was a
[00:07:30] quarter of a percentage point. Wars was appointed by President
[00:07:34] Trump, yet he voted against the president's wishes
[00:07:38] to lower interest rates, this financial
[00:07:40] advisor says why. Raising the interest
[00:07:44] rate makes the flow of money a little more
[00:07:47] difficult, more complicated, and that is supposed to control inflation.
[00:07:51] The problem is that it will be more expensive to borrow,
[00:07:55] credit cards will be higher, mortgage rates
[00:07:58] could also go up as well as car
[00:08:01] loans, which frustrates Elías Beltrán who says he owes
[00:08:05] $5 on his credit cards, debts are already
[00:08:09] too high, that is, only interest is already practically
[00:08:12] impossible to pay, credit cards. President
[00:08:16] Trump reacted by saying that interest rates in
[00:08:19] the United States should be 1%
[00:08:22] lower. Both are problems, one is we pay more
[00:08:25] for credit cards we continue to pay more at the
[00:08:29] supermarket. The supermarket problem is a long-term
[00:08:32] problem and it is the one that must be tackled. It occurs while the
[00:08:36] cost of a barrel of oil is at $102
[00:08:39] according to West Texas Intermediate, the gallon of gasoline is at
[00:08:43] $4.36
[00:08:45] and diesel is at a record high of
[00:08:48] $6.31
[00:08:51] according to AAA, this due to the conflict in the Middle
[00:08:54] East, which would be reflected in food, clothing and even
[00:08:58] heating. Now you can't buy, you go out with
[00:09:01] $100, you go out with maybe three pounds and you don't take
[00:09:05] anything home. Analysts expect that by raising interest
[00:09:09] rates, loans will become more expensive, savings will be activated,
[00:09:12] consumption will be reduced and pressure on
[00:09:16] prices will decrease. Pegui, when
[00:09:19] will the Federal Reserve meet again and what can we expect from that
[00:09:22] meeting?
[00:09:25] The next Federal Reserve meeting is scheduled for the end
[00:09:29] of October and if inflation remains
[00:09:32] high, interest rates are expected to
[00:09:35] rise again, this before the end of the year. Ilia, back
[00:09:38] to you. Let's talk about immigration now. Thank you very much, Pegui.
[00:09:42] ICE confirmed the arrests of truck drivers in rest areas
[00:09:46] and at weigh stations. In New Jersey, two drivers, citizens of the
[00:09:49] Republic of Uzbekistan, both in irregular status, were detained.
[00:09:53] One of them had a criminal record for driving under the influence of
[00:09:57] substances and in New Hampshire a truck driver,
[00:10:00] a citizen of India, whose visa had
[00:10:04] expired, was arrested. The
[00:10:07] story of sisters Naomi, Destiny and Haitana Flores that
[00:10:10] you heard here on Univision,
[00:10:13] has a new chapter today. Their mother was detained
[00:10:16] at the end of June and deported weeks later to Honduras. Now
[00:10:20] her daughters, 16, 13 and 4 years old, left their life
[00:10:24] here in the United States to reunite with her.
[00:10:27] Shayley Alfaro from Alabama and Claudia Mendoza from Honduras, have
[00:10:31] followed the story of this family. Are you happy to see
[00:10:35] mom? It's 3 in the morning, the Flores sisters, 16,
[00:10:38] 13 and 4 years old, are preparing to leave the house they
[00:10:41] lived in for the last 8 years in Birmingham, Alabama
[00:10:45] and undertake their self-deportation. Very happy,
[00:10:49] excited.
[00:10:53] With a smile that contrasts the sadness they faced more than two
[00:10:57] months ago when they sought legal help to self-deport, the
[00:11:00] sisters are about to abandon their American dream to reunite
[00:11:04] with their mother Iris Flores, deported to Honduras last
[00:11:07] July. The nightmare for the family began last
[00:11:11] June 30. The sisters were left alone after their
[00:11:14] mother's arrest during this federal operation related to an
[00:11:18] identity fraud case. In the shadows, they told us their story,
[00:11:22] they feared the government would take custody of them.
[00:11:26] Today the panorama is different, they show their faces and start
[00:11:30] their journey, along with them also travels their sister Aytana, 4 years
[00:11:34] old, and little Antoni, 7, who, unlike the girls, had to say
[00:11:37] goodbye to his mother today, who preferred to send him
[00:11:41] to Honduras before the child was left unprotected in case
[00:11:45] she was also
[00:11:48] broken heart to an empty house, meanwhile Iris
[00:11:52] Flores awaits her daughters with joy in
[00:12:05] several months ended in a matter of minutes. I am very
[00:12:08] anxious to see my daughters and be able to hug them
[00:12:11] again. The hug at the airport was the end of a
[00:12:14] nightmare that devoured this mother, who feared that US immigration
[00:12:18] authorities would snatch her daughters away. Today, with the
[00:12:22] girls against her chest, anguish gave way. The days were
[00:12:25] desperate, so to speak, because not
[00:12:29] knowing how to resume our lives,
[00:12:32] despite the fatigue of the journey, the girls' faces lit up again
[00:12:36] because they were finally with their mother, yes, very
[00:12:39] happy, because I saw my mom again, I also wanted to continue my
[00:12:43] studies, but I started to think that we couldn't live without our mom,
[00:12:47] her grandmother Carla Pineda, who brought them to Honduras, was also very
[00:12:50] excited to reunite with the whole family, I feel
[00:12:54] happy to be here in my homeland with my daughter, behind
[00:12:58] this outcome Iris risked everything for the future of her family, with her
[00:13:02] husband in the process of obtaining US citizenship,
[00:13:05] any serious offense in the immigration system could derail
[00:13:08] years of procedures, I have to come here to fight my process here in my country
[00:13:11] and be able to return with God willing with my
[00:13:15] papers, that's why, in order not to hinder the file and protect the
[00:13:18] family dream, Iris self-deported and coordinated the voluntary
[00:13:22] return of her daughters. Now the challenge is to bury the
[00:13:25] uncertainty and rebuild life in this land, the path ahead is not
[00:13:29] easy, but the goal is clear: to build a home from
[00:13:32] scratch and ensure that the girls resume their studies
[00:13:35] immediately.
[00:13:37] Thank you, a farewell and a long-awaited reunion that
[00:13:41] we were able to tell you about thanks to the work of Shayley Alfaro in Alabama and
[00:13:45] from Honduras, Claudia Mendoza. In other news,
[00:13:48] for the first time in more than two decades, the United States today removed
[00:13:52] Venezuela from its list of countries that do not combat
[00:13:55] drug trafficking, President Trump attributed the decision to the
[00:13:58] cooperation with the interim government of Delsey Rodríguez and
[00:14:02] announced that he is also evaluating removing Colombia from this
[00:14:05] classification. Precisely regarding Venezuela, the US
[00:14:09] Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, confirmed today
[00:14:12] a new preliminary agreement between the American oil company
[00:14:16] Continental Resources and Pedebesa. In an interview with
[00:14:19] Edwin PT, Wright also insisted that there will be elections in
[00:14:23] Venezuela, although he said that still.
[00:14:33] So Continental Resources, one of the pioneers of the Shale Revolution in the United States, just signed a deal for very large development in Venezuela, they're going to
[00:14:36] bring upwards of $2 billion dollars down there to drill more
[00:14:40] wells, grow oil and gas production in Venezuela. Sir,
[00:14:43] there is one thing I would like to hold you accountable on, because before you
[00:14:46] said there will be elections in Venezuela,
[00:14:50] but Venezuelans, they seem not to have a clear
[00:14:53] path for.

[00:19:18] Juan Gabriel, I must, I can and I want, this
[00:19:22] Sunday at 7, on Univision and available
[00:19:25] from September 20 on
[00:19:26] Vix.
[00:19:29] Surveillance cameras at a Miami hospital captured the moment
[00:19:33] a patient attacked several employees and also
[00:19:37] the emergency room doctor with closed fists, attacking
[00:19:40] those in his path, finally three employees
[00:19:43] managed to control him, the man was arrested and now one of
[00:19:49] hospital, arguing security failures. In
[00:19:53] Mexico, authorities are searching today for Alias El Trompas,
[00:19:56] this in relation to the murder of the young
[00:20:00] Spanish student Claudia Tacoronte in Morelos, according
[00:20:03] to the prosecutor's office, the suspect who has a criminal record for assault
[00:20:08] would have stabbed the young woman in the abdomen in an attempt to
[00:20:11] steal her cell phone. Rejection
[00:20:14] is growing here in the United States against the construction of artificial
[00:20:18] intelligence data centers, it's that every time a user
[00:20:21] consults a chatbot or generates a video using this
[00:20:25] technology, the servers consume an enormous
[00:20:28] amount of drinking water and electricity. It is
[00:20:31] estimated that by 2030, artificial
[00:20:34] intelligence will consume the same amount of water that
[00:20:37] 1.3 billion people
[00:20:41] consume in a year. Tiffany Roberts spoke with
[00:20:44] experts about the impact of these centers on
[00:20:47] communities. Artificial intelligence
[00:20:50] is everywhere and without realizing it we use it daily, the maps
[00:20:54] on our phone, a bank transaction or when the internet
[00:20:58] suggests merchandise we have seen before, just
[00:21:02] as a technological revolution is taking place, a
[00:21:06] revolution is taking place
[00:21:08] at the level of all our spaces, the spaces where
[00:21:12] we live. Every time artificial intelligence comes into
[00:21:15] action, we put a data center to work and it is disrupting
[00:21:19] in...
[00:21:24] a huge data center complex with an area of
[00:21:27] 1400 acres that is being developed by
[00:21:31] Oracle and OpenAI with an investment of up to
[00:21:34] 165 billion dollars that has its
[00:21:37] own power
[00:21:38] plant
[00:21:41] will produce more
[00:21:44] pollution than
[00:21:47] the natural gas plants.
[00:21:51] and diesel plants, more than all cities in
[00:21:55] New Mexico, but most data centers use
[00:21:58] water to cool servers, a more
[00:22:01] economical technique. The cold water pipe
[00:22:04] circulates between the components and delicate circuits, but it requires
[00:22:08] a lot of water that usually comes from the municipal drinking
[00:22:12] water supply from underground aquifers that
[00:22:15] also feed the surrounding communities. In a
[00:22:19] recent survey, 53% of
[00:22:21] Americans are very concerned about the environmental
[00:22:24] impacts of AI, an increase from
[00:22:27] 41% last year. The
[00:22:32] AI are the ones that have invested the most in the construction of
[00:22:36] data centers in a multi-million dollar race to meet
[00:22:40] a demand created largely by ourselves.
[00:22:43] In Miami, Florida, Tiffany Roberts for Univision.
[00:22:46] Extraordinary report, thank you very much Tiffany and well, artificial intelligence
[00:22:50] is also transforming the labor market,
[00:22:53] but it faces limitations, tell us a little more, that's right Ilia, good
[00:22:57] afternoon, also many questions, Ilia, one of these is for example if our

[00:27:35] The last time we told you about Jaime Trinidad, he was still detained and
[00:27:39] only asked to be released and be able to fulfill his dream of seeing his youngest
[00:27:42] son graduate as a Marine. Today that wait
[00:27:45] ended, after three months under immigration custody, this
[00:27:49] father of two members of the Active Service of the United States Armed
[00:27:53] Forces regained his freedom. Crying, Jaime told
[00:27:56] Vilma Tarazona what it means to be back with his
[00:28:00] family.
[00:28:02] Jaime Trinidad hugged his family again after remaining three months
[00:28:06] detained by immigration, while his two U.S. citizen
[00:28:09] children, Jason and Jimmy, served in the armed
[00:28:13] forces of this country. You just left the detention
[00:28:16] center. How do you feel?
[00:28:19] Happy.
[00:28:26] The days felt eternal to him and he thought this moment would never
[00:28:29] come. And I believe that for me the day came
[00:28:33] that justice was served, because
[00:28:36] in reality he shouldn't have arrived at that place. From the detention
[00:28:40] center he pleaded to be released to accompany his youngest
[00:28:44] son on the day he would graduate as a Marine.
[00:28:46] What I asked God was
[00:28:50] to be out, to be free and to be able to shake his
[00:28:54] hand the day he graduates and
[00:28:57] tell him that he did it. He took refuge in his
[00:29:00] faith so as not to falter. And in that
[00:29:03] moment of desperation it was when I felt God's
[00:29:06] embrace and that he was telling me that everything was going to be
[00:29:10] fine.
[00:29:14] That was the most desperate moment
[00:29:16] because I felt that I wasn't going to get out of that
[00:29:20] place. He couldn't understand why while his
[00:29:25] the United States Armed Forces, he, with
[00:29:28] no criminal record, was detained. Uh-huh.
[00:29:32] He was given parole for a year and his eldest son, who turns 21 next
[00:29:36] month, will apply for his parents' residency through
[00:29:40] an adjustment of status. Jaime assures that he was born again when
[00:29:43] he regained his freedom. I left the center
[00:29:46] and
[00:29:52] I felt that all that had been left behind, that
[00:29:55] it
[00:29:56] was over.
[00:30:00] I walked out that gate and I told God, thank you.
[00:30:04] father in Miami, Vilma Tarazona, N+,
[00:30:06] Univision, we are very happy to end the
[00:30:11] the reunification of a family whose separation we had
[00:30:15] told you about. So we end, see you tomorrow, good night.
[00:30:46] This weekend my cousins came from Querétaro and we went
[00:30:49] to the go-karts, my dad took
[00:30:52] us, oh that's
[00:30:54] great, and I beat my dad in the races, it was
[00:30:58] a lot of fun.
