[00:00:02] "something that colleagues can recover we understand that in the future [00:00:15] The new Azorean scientific research vessel [00:00:19] is already in [00:00:19] Faial. [00:00:23] The second stage of the Mini Atlantic Regatta [00:00:27] between Faial and France is underway. [00:00:31] Filarmónica Minerva de Ginetes celebrated 120 years with a concert. [00:00:42] all this from [00:00:48] Welcome to Atlantic news. The new Azorean [00:00:51] scientific research vessel [00:00:54] and invites the public to built in Spain [00:00:56] is already in the archipelago. It represents an investment of over 30 [00:01:00] million euros, financed by the [00:01:02] PRR. The president of the regional government calls it a historical [00:01:06] day. [00:01:09] 3 years after it began to be designed, the Azorson [00:01:12] entered the port of Horta. The new [00:01:16] multidisciplinary scientific [00:01:19] Peter Zalmayev will be in research vessel Wednesday with the Golden Key Novena. of the region, was received with pomp and [00:01:22] circumstance. I am convinced that this [00:01:26] decrease in recent times, is a historical day, because perhaps it will add [00:01:30] to the future [00:01:31] airport is an old request on the value [00:01:33] the hotel activity of the legacy we have of identity, of knowledge, of [00:01:37] research, of results achieved for a new [00:01:41] source of opportunities. [00:01:44] The Azor Zoshen is about 46 m [00:01:47] long, and is equipped with modern [00:01:51] laboratories, classrooms and state-of-the-art technology, capable [00:01:54] of carrying out oceanographic mapping [00:01:57] studies down to 5000 m deep. A [00:02:00] bet on knowledge that continues to put the region far ahead [00:02:04] of the rest of the country, according to the president of the [00:02:07] government, in addition to our sea cluster [00:02:11] in the Azores and particularly here on the island [00:02:15] of Faial, it enhances the installed [00:02:19] capabilities of the University of the Azores which, in partnership [00:02:22] with us, will continue to benefit [00:02:25] from this, no longer just the archipelago, but [00:02:27] also the Azores Aushen. "They [00:02:31] will make the future great, because the future [00:02:34] is made with research, with science and with [00:02:37] knowledge. The ship [00:02:41] then have a tender will be jointly managed by Martech and Atlantico Line and operated by the [00:02:44] Navy. The Navy will be a permanent [00:02:48] ally for the optimization of the [00:02:51] use of this ship. It is, [00:02:54] obviously, owned by the Autonomous Region [00:02:58] of the Azores at the service of the Azores". [00:03:00] but it is at the service of Portugal, as it is at the service of science, [00:03:04] of research and, therefore, in a global [00:03:07] and universal projection. Upon its arrival [00:03:10] at the Port of Horta, the president of the Spanish [00:03:13] regulation of a regional shipyards Armon, where it was [00:03:16] built, was also present. [00:03:22] First, to be here in Horta in the Azores, second, to share this world of [00:03:25] research, both from a scientific point of view and from a technological [00:03:29] point of view. [00:04:00] Okeanos Institute researchers who publicly [00:04:03] expressed their surprise at not having been [00:04:06] invited, the executive chief guarantees that everyone will be [00:04:09] invited when the research vessel is [00:04:13] baptized. [00:04:16] The dissatisfaction of the Okeano researchers appeared on social media [00:04:20] when the new research vessel was entering [00:04:22] the Port of Horta. In statements, it was strange that for such [00:04:26] a high-level event. [00:04:30] researchers were not invited. The note [00:04:33] states that, for over 50 years, it has developed [00:04:36] regional, national and international projects and that therefore [00:04:40] they were the lever for research done in the region [00:04:43] and at the university. They remind that, since [00:04:46] 1993, Imarres was the archipelago, and that [00:04:50] in this way they contributed, decisively and committedly, to the [00:04:54] definition of the scientific valences and outfitting [00:04:57] of the new research vessel in the design of... the laboratories [00:05:01] in the specification and selection of scientific equipment [00:05:05] to use for the researchers this [00:05:08] suppression of the community and scientific institutions based [00:05:12] on... that [00:05:20] was just the reception and that for the christening of the ship all [00:05:24] would be invited. Magnificent rector, [00:05:27] I know that you can [00:05:29] transmit my words as president of the government [00:05:33] to the entire university universe, all its [00:05:37] campuses, all [00:05:39] researchers, all those responsible. for [00:05:42] the university, enormous congratulations for us [00:05:46] in this communion, to be able to develop [00:05:49] more scientific research [00:05:52] capacity that has also been led [00:05:55] by our University of the Azores, by our researchers, [00:05:59] first in the Department of Oceanography and Fisheries, also [00:06:02] now in the Okeanos Institute and, therefore, in [00:06:06] the entire universe that is [00:06:09] the University of the Azores itself. [00:06:12] The Azores Ocean event should take place by the end of the [00:06:15] month. [00:06:17] Despite having a competitor, the tender [00:06:21] for the chartering of a regular maritime cargo vessel [00:06:24] for the islands of Flores and Corvo, [00:06:28] ended without awarding. The regional [00:06:31] government has already announced that it will launch a new international [00:06:34] public tender. A press release from the [00:06:38] executive states that the only proposal presented in the [00:06:41] now extinct tender had a price higher than the [00:06:45] base value of 5.2 million euros, which is why [00:06:49] the jury proposed its exclusion. In the last [00:06:52] 3 years, the maritime transport of goods to the Western [00:06:55] Group was ensured by the Azorean [00:06:58] Mutual Maritime Transport with the [00:07:02] vessel Torby. The current [00:07:05] contract ends on September 22. The government [00:07:08] intends to move forward with a new tender, introducing [00:07:11] adjustments to strengthen [00:07:14] competitiveness and attractiveness among [00:07:18] market operators. [00:07:19] The Portuguese Institute of Sea and [00:07:24] Atmosphere raised the warning to [00:07:27] Orange for precipitation, sometimes heavy, [00:07:30] starting today, on the islands of the central group and tomorrow on the [00:07:34] eastern group. For wind, a Yellow [00:07:37] warning was issued. [00:07:39] It's news no one [00:07:42] likes to give, but bad weather is back in the Azores, [00:07:46] heavy rain, thunderstorms, wind gusts that can reach [00:07:50] 100 km/h, the central and eastern [00:07:54] groups will be the most affected. Already [00:07:58] from the end of today, Wednesday, [00:08:01] starting in the central group and which should continue [00:08:04] overnight and there is still the possibility of some heavy showers during [00:08:08] tomorrow morning in the central group, in the [00:08:11] mental group more from dawn, so from [00:08:15] 0 tomorrow and should [00:08:17] continue until the end of the afternoon, so this situation can [00:08:21] occur in any of the islands of the central and eastern groups, but [00:08:25] we can also have some discharges at sea. Hitma also explains [00:08:29] that these depressions are not unusual at this time of [00:08:33] year. It doesn't mean that it happens every year, but it's not [00:08:36] unusual, so the month of August is typically a very hot [00:08:40] and humid month which favors, to a large [00:08:43] extent, atmospheric instability, hence [00:08:45] the possibility of depressions forming here in our [00:08:49] latitudes and also the occurrence of [00:08:53] heavy rain accompanied by some wind gusts and thunderstorms. [00:08:56] Meanwhile, an orange alert has already been issued for [00:09:00] precipitation, sometimes heavy, and thunderstorms in the central group [00:09:03] between 9 p.m. on Wednesday and midday on [00:09:07] Thursday. In the central group, the orange warning [00:09:11] comes into force at the beginning of Thursday, extending until [00:09:14] 9 p.m. on the same [00:09:16] day. The unemployment rate in the [00:09:20] Azores in the second quarter of [00:09:22] 2026 was 5%, an increase of [00:09:25] 1.1 percentage points compared to the [00:09:28] same quarter. If the comparison is made with the [00:09:32] previous quarter, there was a decrease of 0.4 percentage [00:09:35] points. The data from April to June was [00:09:39] now published by the regional statistics service. [00:09:43] At the national level, the unemployment rate stood at [00:09:46] 5.3% in the second quarter of [00:09:49] 2026, while the employed population in the [00:09:53] archipelago increased by 0.5%, [00:09:56] compared to the same quarter and 1.4% [00:10:00] compared to the first quarter of [00:10:02] 2026. The services sector was the one that [00:10:06] presented the highest average monthly net [00:10:09] salary of employees. The highest. [00:10:12] The President of the Chamber of Commerce and [00:10:15] Industry of Ponta Delgada criticizes the lack of political [00:10:19] involvement at the highest level in the work of the [00:10:22] Azores Air Route Development Fund. [00:10:26] Walter Coto also expresses concern about the losses [00:10:30] recorded in the tourism sector in the last 9 [00:10:34] months. [00:10:36] With the arrival of August, a fundamental [00:10:39] month for tourism, the discussion about the region's air connections [00:10:43] with the outside always comes to the surface. Just recently, in [00:10:46] May, the regional assembly approved the creation of the [00:10:50] air route development fund. The Chamber of [00:10:53] Commerce and Industry of Ponta Delgada integrates the [00:10:56] work, but immediately expresses criticism. Our [00:11:00] first impression is that there is a lack of political involvement at the highest [00:11:03] level in the region, to be able, together with the central [00:11:07] government and the European community, to take [00:11:11] advantage of our ultra-peripheral region, the [00:11:14] specificities of the region, so that we can have support in the European [00:11:17] Union different from what may be being altered at the moment, because this process is also [00:11:21] under revision. In the European Union, if [00:11:24] we only stick to the dossiers among technicians, we will not [00:11:28] reach the point we desire. Still [00:11:31] on aviation, Walter Coute again recalls the negative [00:11:34] effects of RNER's departure. We have many fewer [00:11:38] seats available and the few available seats that [00:11:41] we have are being sold at exorbitant [00:11:44] prices. Speaking of losses, the representative of [00:11:47] businessmen highlights the [00:11:51] complaints are generalized, not only in [00:11:55] tourist accommodation, but also in [00:11:58] in general, uh, taxi drivers who even this week were also [00:12:02] complaining, restaurants, unlike [00:12:06] previous years where it was necessary to make a prior reservation with one or two [00:12:09] days in advance, at this moment we can already get a table on the same [00:12:13] day, all these are indications that [00:12:16] we have less tourism at this moment in the Azores, but when [00:12:20] we analyze the high season and even already... this month [00:12:23] of August, the perceptions are also not at all [00:12:27] favorable, we are analyzing discounts that are [00:12:29] being practiced in the middle of August, ranging from [00:12:33] 10% to 30%. And if the [00:12:37] prospects for the summer are not encouraging, the future [00:12:40] does not bode well. The worst is yet to come, [00:12:44] what is to come will be next low [00:12:47] season, and that will indeed be extremely [00:12:50] worrying for companies, for company coffers. and it [00:12:53] will no longer be from October, it will be from mid-September, [00:12:57] low expectations from businessmen who complain [00:13:00] about drops in tourism for 9 consecutive [00:13:04] months. [00:13:06] The government has already reacted [00:13:09] to the criticism from the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ponta [00:13:13] Delgada. The Regional Secretary of Tourism guarantees [00:13:16] total commitment to the definition of the Azores [00:13:19] Air Route Development Fund. [00:13:23] "The government is represented at the highest level in that it is represented by my chief of [00:13:26] staff, it would make no sense for the secretary [00:13:30] or regional secretary themselves to represent, this is a [00:13:33] working document that needs to be produced, it is the [00:13:38] legislative decree and normally the regulations [00:13:41] of regional legislative decrees are made by the offices and that is how it is being [00:13:45] done. Anyone who listens to my interventions in the regional legislative [00:13:48] assembly knows very well that we have every interest in having more [00:13:51] mechanisms for supporting route attraction and [00:13:55] that mechanism was approved by the Regional Assembly, so we have every [00:13:59] interest in it being feasible and being [00:14:02] implemented as quickly as possible. The [00:14:06] Portuguese Institute of Sea and Atmosphere will implement, [00:14:09] starting in December, an aviation support service [00:14:13] at Pico Island airport to minimize [00:14:16] flight cancellations due to meteorological [00:14:20] reasons. [00:14:20] The decision [00:14:25] by the working group created by Sata and Ipma, comes after [00:14:29] recent episodes of intense fog that affected several [00:14:32] airports in the region and that led to the cancellation of hundreds of [00:14:36] inter-island connections. The implementation of this new service [00:14:39] called TAF, strengthens the meteorological information [00:14:43] provided to aviation and is considered an essential [00:14:46] tool for flight planning and dispatch. There is already [00:14:49] TAF for Lajes, which is the meteorological forecast, so for [00:14:53] the airport, and we will start doing precisely [00:14:56] that for Pico, that is, we will then have two airports in the region that [00:15:00] are located on the north coast, where the weather is normally different from the south [00:15:04] coast in these meteorological situations, at least, allowing Sata [00:15:08] to a certain extent to dispatch [00:15:10] flights, of course this will not [00:15:14] eliminate in these meteorological situations [00:15:17] cancellations entirely, but at least [00:15:20] it should minimize it, it should allow some [00:15:23] flights to take place, Pico will become an alternate airport in [00:15:26] situations of adverse weather [00:15:29] conditions. Carlos Ramalho explains in practice what could [00:15:33] happen in a bad weather situation when this service is [00:15:36] implemented. From December this year, we are in a [00:15:40] situation of a very hot and humid air mass from the south that is affecting the airports [00:15:44] on the south coast of the Islands, causing low ceilings and [00:15:47] fog on some islands, what happens? there could be, therefore [00:15:50] a relatively short time interval that would allow a plane to leave São [00:15:54] Miguel, let's say for São Jorge, which also has an airport on the south [00:15:57] coast, only with the TAF from Lajes the flight could not be made because Sata [00:16:01] needs to have two TAFs with good weather [00:16:05] forecast to be made because the airport all the time São Jorge in this [00:16:08] case, in the case we are supposing, at the destination airport the weather would not be very good [00:16:12] and then with the two good weather forecasts, two [00:16:15] airports on the north coast, Pico and Terceira, the plane could [00:16:19] already be, the flight could be dispatched. The working [00:16:22] group will continue to develop and evaluate technical solutions that [00:16:26] allow flight planning, contribute to greater [00:16:29] operational predictability, reduce cancellations, always guaranteeing [00:16:33] the safety of information and air traffic. [00:16:38] The final report of the working group created by the regional [00:16:41] government recommends the extension of the runway of Pico Island [00:16:45] airport by 690 m [00:16:48] to the east. The cost of the work is estimated at [00:16:52] 24 million euros. The regional secretary [00:16:55] for infrastructure does not commit to [00:16:58] deadlines. [00:17:02] It has been a long process and with some complexity, the [00:17:05] extension of the runway at Pico [00:17:09] the island, the regional government created a working group to [00:17:12] study the matter and now here are the main [00:17:16] conclusions: expansion of the runway by 690 [00:17:20] m to the west, in a work that should be integrated [00:17:23] into the sustainable European program 2030 and that has [00:17:27] an estimated cost of 24 million euros, [00:17:31] the regional secretary for infrastructure highlights the importance and the [00:17:35] gains with the expansion of this runway. It provides [00:17:38] capacity for the main flights that [00:17:41] are intended to be made from Pico, [00:17:45] from the east coast of the United [00:17:48] States to any European destination, it is evident that [00:17:52] now there is a lot of work to be done from here, because several [00:17:55] partners are needed, the report itself indicates this, starting with [00:17:59] environmental partners, UNESCO partners, because that [00:18:02] partly involves the protected [00:18:06] area of... Berta Cabral also explains the [00:18:09] next steps to be taken, we will develop all the work that is [00:18:13] necessary, all the stages that need to be overcome so that we can [00:18:18] launching process to then [00:18:21] enter properly into what is [00:18:24] choosing the designer, choosing the contractor, [00:18:27] advancing with the work, because it is fundamental to do as much [00:18:31] as possible within this current community framework, [00:18:34] expectations of the regional government about an [00:18:37] expansion long desired and demanded by the [00:18:41] population of Pico Island. [00:18:44] Sata workers were surprised [00:18:47] by the approval of the terms of reference for the total [00:18:51] privatization of Sata Handling by the [00:18:54] Government Council. The unions say that their [00:18:57] proposals were not considered and [00:19:00] promise to intensify forms of [00:19:02] struggle. [00:19:06] Five meetings later, in which the contributions [00:19:09] of the unions were not considered, the representatives of the [00:19:13] SATA workers were surprised by the decision of the [00:19:16] regional government which decided to proceed with the approval of the [00:19:20] terms of reference to define the terms of the sale [00:19:23] of SATA Handling. It was unilateral because we still [00:19:27] made a last counterproposal in an attempt for [00:19:30] our demands to be considered, but [00:19:34] the secretary expressed the need for... [00:19:38] agenda constraints that forced them to [00:19:42] present the terms of reference at the moment they decided to present it, and [00:19:46] therefore there was no more room for negotiation, which means that [00:19:49] the negotiation, if it ever even reached a negotiation, stopped here. [00:19:53] Faced with the unilateral decision of the regional executive and [00:19:56] considering all possibilities of [00:19:59] understanding through the negotiating channel exhausted, the [00:20:02] unions will meet with SATA Handling workers [00:20:06] with a view to deciding what appropriate measures [00:20:09] to express their displeasure regarding a process that they say [00:20:13] threatens to destroy SATA, fragment services and [00:20:17] jeopardize essential activities for territorial [00:20:20] cohesion and the mobility of [00:20:23] Azoreans. A large part or almost all of [00:20:27] our demands were not met, [00:20:31] our contributions were not considered, which means that the compromise [00:20:34] ended up not producing the desired results. In a joint [00:20:38] statement sent to the newsrooms, the unions representing [00:20:42] handling workers emphasize that they disagree with the [00:20:45] 100% sale of SATA handling, [00:20:48] they do not agree with terms of reference approved [00:20:52] unilaterally by the regional government of the [00:20:55] Azores. [00:20:57] RTP contacted the representative in the Azores of the [00:21:01] National Union of Civil Aviation Workers, [00:21:03] but Filipe Rocha said he would only give [00:21:06] statements after meeting with SATA Handling [00:21:10] workers. [00:21:13] The president of the commercial sports group says that this [00:21:16] year, the Azores Rally can only take place [00:21:20] due to the support of the municipal councils of São [00:21:23] Miguel. For three years, the Azorean executive has stopped [00:21:27] providing funding for this motorsport [00:21:29] event. [00:21:33] The president of the commercial sports group laments the indifference of the regional [00:21:36] government towards one of the biggest events in the Azores. The [00:21:40] government stopped supporting the Azores Rally three years ago, [00:21:44] a cut of about 1 million euros, an incomprehensible [00:21:47] situation for Luís Pimental. especially because [00:21:51] there are other forms of support from the executive, there is no [00:21:54] support from the regional government, but we do not want [00:21:58] any money to be [00:22:02] removed from the budget, there are [00:22:06] other mechanisms, eh, we have already warned that [00:22:09] there is support from Turismo Portugal with Madeira and other clubs [00:22:13] receive it and but they are accompanied by the government [00:22:16] entities that help them get that support. [00:22:20] Natel says he has been asking for a meeting with the president of the regional [00:22:23] government for two years, but the door is closed, we have been [00:22:27] waiting for a meeting with the president of the [00:22:30] government for two years and he doesn't answer us, so that [00:22:34] shows, not for me, because I represent [00:22:38] a club, but I think that club and the clubs represent [00:22:41] thousands of people who go to the road, thousands of people who [00:22:44] like to watch the rallies on those festive [00:22:48] days and this lack of support greatly harms the [00:22:52] clubs in the case of the Azores Rally, which is a large-scale event, [00:22:55] I think it's a lack of vision [00:22:58] on the part of the government, I hope they change [00:23:02] their minds quickly because they just need to copy the example of Madeira, [00:23:06] Madeira continues to support motorsport because [00:23:09] it understands that this is a large-scale [00:23:13] event, we here are going in the opposite [00:23:16] direction, even with less support the rally will go on... [00:23:20] the recognition by the municipal councils, we have to [00:23:23] thank all the municipal councils of São Miguel [00:23:27] Island, regardless of their political courses, [00:23:31] have a vision and look [00:23:33] ahead, they see that in fact this [00:23:37] event has a lot of promotion and is important for everyone and [00:23:41] I can only thank them on behalf of the club. The rally returns [00:23:44] to its original name, now called Volta à Ilha de São Miguel, [00:23:48] the event that counts for the Azores championship, [00:23:52] takes place on September 4 and [00:23:54] 5, [00:23:57] left Horta this morning heading to Les [00:23:59] Sables-d'Olonne, the second stage of the Mini-Atlantic [00:24:02] Regatta. According to the predictions of the French [00:24:06] organization, the first single-handed sailors should start arriving in [00:24:09] France within a [00:24:11] week. [00:24:24] The 56 mini-class sailboats participating [00:24:27] in the 11th edition of the Mini Atlantic [00:24:30] Regatta are already sailing towards Les [00:24:33] Sables-d'Olonne. A clean start with a separating wind of 15 knots [00:24:37] from the southwest, made the majority of the fleet [00:24:40] use their spinnakers, providing a unique [00:24:44] spectacle in one of the most beautiful bays in the [00:24:47] world. [00:24:58] For now, eh, the start was even [00:25:01] brought forward because a [00:25:04] weather situation [00:25:07] that may worsen in the coming hours and [00:25:10] days is forecast, but I would say that almost [00:25:14] certainly we will have a faster [00:25:17] course for the reasons I mentioned earlier, [00:25:21] on the return to [00:25:22] France. [00:25:30] There are more than 20 years of connection between the world capital of [00:25:33] Sailing, Sables-d'Olonne, and Faial [00:25:35] Island. [00:25:41] The competition is all eh very [00:25:45] heated, because there are relatively minimal [00:25:48] differences between the first sailors, both of the prototypes [00:25:51] and of the production boats. and, therefore, from a [00:25:55] purely sporting and competitive point of view, it is very [00:25:58] interesting to be able to follow this [00:26:00] regatta. [00:26:04] According to the organization, the first sailors should [00:26:08] start arriving in France within six days. [00:26:34] The Minerva Philharmonic Band of Ginetes, on the island of São [00:26:37] Miguel, celebrated its 120th anniversary with a [00:26:40] concert, among the main challenges of the [00:26:43] institution is attracting young musicians. [00:26:58] For 120 years, music has been part of the identity. [00:27:32] which brought together band musicians and featured the participation of the trumpeter. [00:27:51] I'm going to play two pieces, the Aranjuez concerto, which is a very beautiful Spanish [00:27:55] piece, the tale starts from the [00:27:58] and two two [00:28:02] of concerts is very fast, I arrive, I do a rehearsal with the band, the band is already [00:28:06] part, I played three days here at the festival, [00:28:10] I just finished playing now and now I'm going to do the concert with them, it's an honor [00:28:13] sempre estar aqui e é um presente para eles também, preparamos alguns [00:28:17] temas com com o luís martel que está por cá, outros temas [00:28:21] variados para todos os os gostos desde música mais [00:28:25] music [00:28:28] we listen to on the radio [00:28:40] the philharmonic has 30 [00:28:43] garantir a continuidade da banda, atraindo os jovens [00:28:47] they go to school at 10, 12 years old, at [00:28:51] 16, 17 they are [00:28:55] 19 many go to the mainland to study, [00:28:58] universidades e entram no mercado de [00:29:01] trabalho não é fácil. [00:29:08] a path made of dedication, volunteerism, passion for [00:29:10] music. [00:29:19] This was the last note of this edition of Notícias do [00:29:23] Atlântico, thank you for your [00:29:26] well. [00:29:53] Unemployment in Madeira stood at 3.5% and is now [00:29:57] the lowest in the [00:29:58] country. [00:30:02] Bernardo Trindade is a candidate for the presidency of the Confederation of [00:30:06] Tourism of Portugal today he received the support of [00:30:09] Assif. [00:30:12] Analyses carried out on the water of the Ribeiras [00:30:15] concluded that there is pollution in these watercourses. [00:30:31] Welcome to Notícias do... Atlântico, the unemployment rate in Madeira is [00:30:35] the lowest in the country, in the second quarter of this year, it decreased to [00:30:38] 3.5%. There are about 500 [00:30:42] unemployed people registered at the Regional Employment Institute. The data [00:30:46] shows that there are more unemployed [00:30:48] mulheres. A população empregada fixou-se em [00:30:52] 137.800 pessoas, são mais 8.00 que nos [00:30:55] mesmos meses do ano passado. Em Portugal, a [00:30:59] unemployment rate, at this [00:31:02] 5,3%. [00:31:06] Bernardo Trindade, candidate for [00:31:10] Portugal, defende o Porto Santo como plano B para [00:31:13] of the airport and greater [00:31:17] application of revenue from [00:31:20] of the Hotel Association of Portugal [00:31:24] reuniu esta manhã com a direção da AsiF, de quem recebeu apoio à [00:31:28] candidatura. [00:31:31] Bernardo Trindade chose [00:31:34] fase de contactos da candidatura à presidência da [00:31:37] Confederação do Turismo de Portugal. Entre as [00:31:40] prioridades eles do aeroporto e os condicionalismos que afetam a [00:31:44] operação. defende melhores condições para dar resposta [00:31:47] aos passageiros em dias de inoperacionalidade a [00:31:51] necessidade de encontrar um plano b, pensar [00:31:55] that today Porto [00:31:58] safe platform that [00:32:02] recebe as pessoas não por via aérea porque [00:32:06] há uma contingência manifesta, mas [00:32:09] in those times we can have [00:32:13] predictably, [00:32:16] previsível, fazer chegar às pessoas, as pessoas à madeira como [00:32:20] Another topic discussed was the [00:32:24] management of tourist routes, considering the work done on [00:32:27] trabalho feito na reorganização, registro [00:32:30] and application of fees for [00:32:33] trabalho não está concluído. Há [00:32:36] clearly a path of simplification of [00:32:39] procedures that we should [00:32:42] effectively [00:32:46] uses artificial intelligence, allowing visitors to [00:32:49] Madeira, whether individually [00:32:53] namely with travel [00:32:56] example, bookings that [00:33:00] make, this can [00:33:03] ocorrer da forma mais simplificada possível, ainda não [00:33:07] é, ainda não é uma realidade, mas entendemos que no futuro [00:33:10] it can effectively be. He also advocates [00:33:14] também uma maior... participação das empresas associações nas [00:33:17] use of [00:33:20] revenues. There is no doubt that [00:33:23] hoteliers and travel [00:33:27] gives us information that is absolutely [00:33:30] information must be shared, [00:33:34] because as a result of this sharing we will make better decisions [00:33:38] the opportunity to [00:33:41] collect for the, let's say, [00:33:44] affirmation of the Madeira destination. [00:33:47] Bernardo Trindade has the support of ASIV [00:33:50] in this race for the Confederation of Tourism of Portugal, António Jardim [00:33:54] Fernandes justifies it with his career, he gathers [00:33:57] política, governativa, empresarial [00:34:00] believe that we will be [00:34:04] we will be closer, [00:34:08] no, we are not present, we are also [00:34:12] and the current, therefore, the current [00:34:15] direção da confederação também tem feito um bom trabalho ao longo [00:34:19] dos últimos anos, agora sem dúvida é sempre diferente ter uma [00:34:22] pessoa que conhece que é sensível e que sente os [00:34:25] problemas regionais de uma forma que é às vezes é difícil [00:34:29] transmitir a quem não é de real. a eleição do [00:34:33] futuro presidente da confederação do turismo de Portugal tem [00:34:36] March. [00:34:39] In the last 10 years, [00:34:43] These figures were presented by the Secretary [00:34:47] do turismo Eduardo Jesus que destaca o crescimento do [00:34:50] North American [00:34:54] The evolution of tourism in the last decade was a topic presented [00:34:57] by the regional secretary of tourism to the representative of the Republic. [00:35:01] The balance was published in a book that compiles the main [00:35:05] 10 years, the number of [00:35:08] overnight stays grew by about 80%. And, [00:35:12] according to the government official, salaries in the sector also [00:35:15] registered an increase. We [00:35:17] have real values in the order of 14%, in [00:35:21] other words, removing the effect of inflation, the [00:35:24] variation is 14%, there is an effective [00:35:27] gain in this sector and that is [00:35:30] important, yes, this is important [00:35:33] because given the importance it has, being a [00:35:37] labor-intensive sector because it is a [00:35:40] service from people for [00:35:43] professionals and professionals are only retained if [00:35:47] we offer good working conditions. In the last decade, the [00:35:50] digital world played a decisive role in defining the [00:35:53] tourist profile, after the pandemic, Madeira received a [00:35:57] also new [00:36:00] include the United States of [00:36:03] we currently have an operation [00:36:07] United, [00:36:11] original airport to Madeira. [00:36:15] 86 other national airports in the [00:36:18] United States and therefore it is integrated into a network that is endless for us [00:36:22] and which has been an operation that has gone well and that this year has already [00:36:25] been reinforced. This is important to us. Why? Because if we [00:36:29] only work with the European market, we are dependent on a [00:36:32] from 17 to 74,000 visitors [00:36:38] no espaço de 2 anos do mercado norte-americano. [00:36:42] We currently have this United [00:36:45] One of the objectives for the future is to [00:36:49] reforçar ligações com Miami, há também uma [00:36:52] aposta em mercados da Europa de leste como Hungria a [00:36:56] Polónia. [00:36:59] Funchal's streams are [00:37:02] comes after analyses of the [00:37:06] by the Regional Agency for the Development of Research, Technology [00:37:10] Arditi, in collaboration with the [00:37:13] Madeira Ocean Observatory. [00:37:17] The initiative is titled "Open Science in Summer" [00:37:21] It is promoted by Ardite, in [00:37:25] collaboration with the Ocean Observatory. of Madeira this Wednesday [00:37:29] they analyzed the water of the João Gomes stream, [00:37:32] but they started the project a year ago, which aims to [00:37:36] analyze the waters of the [00:37:40] objective is pollution, to [00:37:43] understand the dynamics of pollution we have in [00:37:46] observe that the [00:37:50] natural, physical-chemical characteristics we have upstream, [00:37:53] ah are very different from those we have [00:37:57] downstream, so [00:38:01] happening, and go a [00:38:05] dar medidas de remediação para polução que temos aqui já na [00:38:08] cidade, poluição que é significativa, que [00:38:12] happens in the stream, we can [00:38:15] cidade que tenemos diferentes - [00:38:19] esgotos ou águas que vem de outros lados que não sabemos [00:38:22] que conteúdo tem e estão cambiar [00:38:26] a as caracterista. [00:38:29] In these analyses you do, what kind of components do you find in the water, what [00:38:33] kind of waste are they? No, they are not waste, because what we [00:38:37] are measuring are things that are already [00:38:40] see it, that's why we use equipment to be able to [00:38:43] observe how these [00:38:47] example we are talking about pH, [00:38:51] we are talking about electrical [00:38:54] de quantidade de oxigênio dissolvido por isso. sempre sempre [00:38:58] a mesma coisa, as pessoas, as pessoas não costumam mudar [00:39:02] they don't change, [00:39:05] they are always throwing [00:39:09] bastante de falar sobre as levadas o que tá [00:39:13] did you already [00:39:16] e noção de como é que estavam estas rideiras? sim, já tinha [00:39:20] at all and what do you think should be [00:39:23] feito? as pessoas, por exemplo, não deitarem lixo, porque havia lá uma [00:39:26] action this Wednesday that [00:39:30] analisa saúde dos ecossistemas [00:39:33] aquáticos. [00:39:36] The Porto da Cruz pool will undergo [00:39:39] bathing season. Even so, those who frequent the space praise the [00:39:43] conditions. However, some argue for a discount for [00:39:46] residentes. [00:39:48] During these hot days, the Porto da Cruz bathing complex has been very [00:39:52] muito procurado por madeirenses e [00:39:55] pools, one for children [00:39:58] main attraction. I've been to [00:40:02] exceptional, great, [00:40:05] five stars. Why do you like [00:40:09] limpa, está é a água do mar, está sempre a entrar e sair [00:40:12] e tanto é que nós às vezes chegamos aqui não temos espaço [00:40:16] exclusively the conditions, you think it has everything [00:40:20] always [00:40:22] vigilância, atenção da bilheteira, tudo quanto o resto, não [00:40:26] I think the pools are good, yes sir, the [00:40:30] água tá quase sempre fresquinha e não acho certo é isto às 7 horas mandar as [00:40:34] pessoas todas embora iam um horário mais alargado claro as pessoas [00:40:37] deviam ter direito ficar até a hora que apetecer-se como nas [00:40:40] piscinas do portomonês por exemplo eu tô achando [00:40:44] bem legal bem divertido aí eu posso aproveitar com as minhas primas e com meus [00:40:48] pais estavas a dizer que a água estava muito salgada estavas à espera que fosse [00:40:51] água salgada tá bem tá sim já porque é natural né [00:40:55] vem do mar sai do mar acho? melhor quando é água salgada [00:40:58] eh é bem natural, você sente [00:41:02] o ar bem e natural, [00:41:04] excelente, já costuma cá ver, já vem o ano passado [00:41:08] cá, e porque é que gosta tanto desta piscina, porque a água é [00:41:12] natural, não é água da água [00:41:15] demor, relativamente aos preços acha que são acessíveis, são [00:41:18] muito acessíveis, há outras mais caras, muito mais caras que [00:41:22] esta, a entrada custa 1,5 para [00:41:25] for children up to 12 [00:41:29] residents should have a [00:41:32] desconto, é a melhor da madeira, para mim, porque é [00:41:36] que fica mais perto, o que é que acha das condições? não, então? tem [00:41:40] as condições todas que é preciso, a [00:41:43] nível de preços, os preços os residentes viem pagar [00:41:47] só metade, mas a gente não tem essa sorte a se pagar [00:41:50] municipal facility, any benefit given [00:41:54] nesta infraestrutura terá que ser para o todo do concelho, portanto nós não podemos [00:41:58] beneficiar só os residentes no Porta Cruz, teríamos que fazer [00:42:02] aplicá-lo a todo o concelho que se calhar faz sentido, é algo que vamos ponderar [00:42:05] antes do arranque da época balnear foram feitas várias [00:42:09] intervenções. para outubro estão previstas outras, [00:42:12] we couldn't before the start of the bathing season a more [00:42:16] profound intervention in the entire drainage and changing room system of this [00:42:19] pool, so we will renovate [00:42:22] October, making a new [00:42:26] changing room drainage and also to the restaurant that operates there [00:42:29] and also redesign, an internal [00:42:33] dos balneários eh tornando eles mais funcionais. na próxima [00:42:37] bathing season, the municipality will study the possibility of extending the opening [00:42:41] currently the space closes at [00:42:44] 7 p.m. [00:42:47] Animal collection centers and kennels are refusing [00:42:51] animals due to lack of space. Summer is the season with the most [00:42:54] keep up with the number of stray [00:42:58] errantes que chegam às instituições. [00:43:02] This litter of kittens has just arrived at the domestic animal [00:43:06] protection society. The association receives an average of [00:43:09] 20. a 25 animais por mês, podendo chegar aos [00:43:13] 40 em períodos com muitas ninhadas, nós aqui, eu costumo [00:43:17] red, we are always above our [00:43:20] we are always receiving animals, the [00:43:24] número de adoções que temos que já é bastante [00:43:26] significativo e é muito inferior ao número de animais [00:43:30] que nós recebemos, é uma ilusão nós pensarmos que vamos [00:43:34] conseguir ter famílias para todos os animais que nós temos ao [00:43:38] ah it is something that will not happen, we have [00:43:42] imenso, imenso, imensos animais geriátricos, ou [00:43:45] seja, animais já em estado de idade muito avançada. [00:43:49] Currently, the association has [00:43:52] animais ao seu cuidado e é obrigada a recusar alguns pedidos [00:43:56] de ajuda por falta espaço. o que eu peço [00:43:59] sem por aí neste este verão tá a ser bastante positivo, voluntários, muitos [00:44:03] voluntários, porque eles passam os dias em boxes, particularmente [00:44:06] falando dos cães, então temos muitos voluntários a... que vem [00:44:10] cá somente para passear os cães, as pessoas estão com muitas [00:44:14] dificuldades financeiras para conseguir não só [00:44:17] tratar os animais que estão doentes e em fases [00:44:20] terminais como também para alimentá-los, então nós tentamos ajudar [00:44:23] da forma que conseguimos quer fornecendo alimentação, algumas colónias [00:44:27] que que estão sinalizadas e que as pessoas [00:44:30] pedem-nos ajuda para alimentá-las eh nos [00:44:33] tratamentos médicos de alguns de algumas pessoas que também têm muita muita [00:44:37] abandonment of animals continues to [00:44:40] aumentar na época das férias, no centro de recolha [00:44:43] peak occurred in July [00:44:47] com 62 recolhas. Sempre que há [00:44:49] proximidade de férias acabamos por notar que há, seja [00:44:53] we always see a slight [00:44:57] not everything is bad, in fact [00:45:01] we are starting to notice improvements and I think this also has [00:45:04] muito a ver com a informação, com a [00:45:07] formação a sensibilização que vamos... fazendo às pessoas, [00:45:11] as adoções têm aumentado a autarquia de Santa Cruz criou um protocolo para [00:45:15] incentivar o acolhimento de animais, nós acabamos por qualquer [00:45:19] resident or person who picks up a stray cat from the street and is [00:45:23] interessado em adotá-lo a câmara acaba por assumir os custos da estralização da [00:45:26] vacinação do primeiro ano de vida, parecendo que não a esterilização é [00:45:30] maior custo que as pessoas têm geralmente com um animal doméstico, portanto [00:45:33] acabamos por retirar esse custo equação e tem tido bons [00:45:37] resultados, nós notamos que cada vez mais as pessoas... hoje são [00:45:40] sensibilizadas e estão sensibilizadas para isso, o [00:45:43] abandono deixou de ter justificação, hoje há [00:45:46] várias soluções para garantir o bem-estar dos animais durante as [00:45:50] The independent union of [00:45:54] satisfied with the meeting with the [00:45:57] Secretary of Education. He received guarantees that this year the [00:46:01] government will begin to work on the recovery of service time for [00:46:04] docentes vinculados antes de [00:46:06] 2011. [00:46:09] Last week. The Regional Secretary for Education met with all the [00:46:12] unions to review the school year. One of the [00:46:16] topics on the table was the recovery of service [00:46:19] serviço dos professores vinculados antes de [00:46:23] promise was made that [00:46:26] during this calendar year this issue would be [00:46:30] therefore, in the [00:46:32] near future we will discuss [00:46:36] SD so [00:46:39] that... our colleagues can recover this service [00:46:43] our great [00:46:45] concern is that this issue is not much more [00:46:49] and postponed, that it be, for example, [00:46:54] and in [00:46:58] The lack of teachers was another [00:47:02] there must be an incentive for those who [00:47:06] alteration and improvement [00:47:10] incentivo, mas também temos que valorizar quem está. sobre [00:47:13] the controversy surrounding national [00:47:17] laments that the postponement of the school [00:47:20] year does not extend to other cycles beyond [00:47:24] secondary school? We have here colleagues who [00:47:27] estão no terceiro ciclo e no secundário, [00:47:31] okay? We are going to postpone [00:47:34] secondary education, but what about [00:47:38] will start the school year with classes [00:47:42] for example in the ninth grade, it is very rare [00:47:45] for it to happen, I cannot say that because I don't [00:47:49] repare, há há há há casos de colegas que... é um terceiro [00:47:53] cycle and secondary school. Classes [00:47:56] começar uma semana mais tarde, a 21 de setembro, já o [00:48:00] third cycle calendar should [00:48:04] 15th. [00:48:06] Ukrainian journalist [00:48:11] to talk about the war in Ukraine, [00:48:15] he is traveling the world in an attempt to combat [00:48:17] desinformação. [00:48:20] The Russian invasion in early 2022 changed the [00:48:24] lives of millions of [00:48:27] front line of combat, some have taken on another [00:48:30] mission, to keep the conflict on the international agenda. [00:48:34] Peter Zalmayev, a Ukrainian journalist, is one of those [00:48:38] faces, he has traveled the world to talk about the war. [00:48:50] the first two years of war in Ukraine. and I frankly got a little [00:48:54] exhausted. I decided I needed a new chapter in my life uh to use my [00:48:58] communication skills and experience to reach [00:49:01] remote countries [00:49:04] to us, Ukrainians that normally wouldn't [00:49:07] come to into contact with Ukraine, to talk about the war in Ukraine, to [00:49:11] initiate dialogue, to to ask people how the war has affected [00:49:15] them and whether our enemies Russia's narratives are [00:49:18] being spread in those countries. During these trips, Peter. [00:49:30] similar anti-colonial struggle, it used to be for many years a colony of [00:49:34] Russia, but is it has [00:49:37] culture, its own language, and so it [00:49:40] has the right to exist as sovereign [00:49:44] fate of the war in Ukraine goes far beyond Ukraine's borders, it will affect [00:49:48] the entire world, the entire world's order and the right of [00:49:52] smaller. [00:49:55] He began this adventure in 2024 and 2 years [00:49:58] later he has already visited [00:50:02] de cidades em todo o mundo, o plano é chegar a 90 países [00:50:06] Portugal has had a Ukrainian [00:50:10] community for many years, starting from 19 1990s [00:50:13] right, way before the war started, [00:50:16] and so for the large part [00:50:19] overwhelmingly Portuguese condemn Russia. is worn [00:50:22] in Ukraine, but also lot of times people will say, oh these [00:50:26] people, these politicians, everyone is benefiting, tell Zelensky to stop the [00:50:30] war, as if it depends on Zelenski, so I've heard that as well, and that's [00:50:34] what I'm saying, five years into the war, [00:50:37] perceptions are changing, russian [00:50:39] propaganda, [00:50:44] Peter will be in Madeira for almost two weeks, [00:50:48] then the Ukrainian journalist will travel [00:50:54] The novenas of Our Lady of the Mount begin today, the flowers for [00:50:58] the party and for the church decorations only arrived last [00:51:02] night, the faithful worked through the night to [00:51:05] ensure that the church was ready in time for the [00:51:08] festa. [00:51:11] The flowers should have arrived at the mount early on Tuesday [00:51:14] morning, but the plane that was carrying them to Madeira [00:51:18] was delayed and the flowers only arrived at the church after [00:51:22] 9 p.m. A few hours before the novenas began, the faithful [00:51:26] didn't want to waste time, so they rolled up their sleeves and [00:51:29] spent the night in the church to make sure everything was [00:51:32] ready in time for the start of the party, we had to work [00:51:36] until dawn because the flowers [00:51:39] in packages [00:51:41] e outro dia a gente agora vai até ao fim, porque senão [00:51:45] we would have to put all the [00:51:48] today, it's not that it would be [00:51:51] afternoon that's not coming... it's this afternoon, but it was a [00:51:55] hassle, the arrangements were only ready close to 5 [00:51:59] AM, a gesture of devotion, a bit [00:52:02] ugly and a bit dissipated to mix. the [00:52:05] church at night [00:52:09] and call people to the parish and what inspires [00:52:13] them to make these decorations? I [00:52:15] was inspired by several colors because I think we need [00:52:19] a lot of joy and to show joy there's [00:52:23] nothing like color and it was on that basis that I [00:52:27] chose [00:52:29] these colors? In the past, floral arrangements were [00:52:32] replaced every day. But today, the groups [00:52:36] responsible for the novenas come together to avoid [00:52:40] waste. The first three novenas are united [00:52:43] in this ornamentation that we can see, the [00:52:47] following three novenas will also be [00:52:50] united, and the last three novenas will also be united, each one [00:52:54] with its own ornamentation in this set, eh, which is an [00:52:57] effort we make to praise Our Lady of the Mount. It [00:53:01] is a tradition that is being reinvented because times [00:53:05] are different, but without losing this essence of [00:53:08] praising Our Lady of the World with what each of the novenas [00:53:12] has specific to it. The feast in honor of Our [00:53:15] Lady of the Mount, Patroness of Madeira, begins this [00:53:20] The idea, in fact, of what devotion is, the [00:53:24] history, the tradition of the novenas, is that there should not be a [00:53:27] party organizer, but that it should be the people of God honoring their [00:53:31] patroness. And, therefore, it is in the union of [00:53:34] efforts, in what each one has to give, the best [00:53:37] of what we are doing to celebrate. As has become [00:53:41] customary, the novenas will be broadcast live [00:53:44] on the social media of the parish of Monte. The feast [00:53:48] in honor of Our Lady of the Mount will last until August [00:53:51] 15th. [00:53:54] A former student of the Madeira Conservatory, now living in Amsterdam, [00:53:57] received on loan an 18th-century violin. [00:54:01] Filipe Fernandes speaks of a privilege that allows him to explore new. [00:54:35] and that opened up many many possibilities [00:54:38] where at a certain point a [00:54:40] foundation [00:54:43] uh yes, lent me a violin for at least 6 [00:54:47] years, which is an old violin from the 18th century, early [00:54:50] 18th century, uh from a luthier called Tononi [00:54:54] from Bologna, uh [00:54:57] and that's it, at the moment I'm playing that instrument, which I feel [00:55:01] very honored to have that opportunity. [00:55:08] The instrument allows Filipe Fernandes to explore new [00:55:12] sounds and grow as a [00:55:14] musician. [00:55:18] I open many areas where I can explore sound, colors, sound, [00:55:21] um, and [00:55:25] of course, the [00:55:28] form helps me play better, right, but [00:55:31] it also allows us to have another status, [00:55:35] where having this instrument really represents another status [00:55:39] there, in any concert we play or in any [00:55:43] country. [00:55:49] In Holland, getting an old violin is relatively [00:55:53] frequent because they have the help of a foundation that owns [00:55:56] various instruments of great [00:55:59] quality. [00:56:05] then there are several categories of instruments, some [00:56:09] better than others, and they present the best instruments [00:56:12] to people who have, well, [00:56:16] higher status, more experience. I was lucky enough to [00:56:20] fall into that category and of course there are better violins than the ones [00:56:24] I have, than the one I have, but it's already a great [00:56:27] stroke of luck and a huge privilege to have this Alberto opens another [00:56:30] wardrobe this [00:56:34] in my... orchestra, in the Netherlands Radio Orchestra and I have an [00:56:38] octet of strings with prominent musicians [00:56:41] from that orchestra and besides that I'm in an ensemble which is the [00:56:45] Music Collective Amsterdam uh [00:56:48] which is an ensemble with [00:56:52] musicians from the most prominent orchestras in the [00:56:55] Netherlands uh and we play arrangements of [00:56:58] great symphonies for a smaller group of people. He emphasizes [00:57:02] that in Holland it's easier to organize concerts and get [00:57:06] state aid. As for education, he says it's on the same [00:57:09] level. [00:57:14] In Madeira, they do an incredible job. Both the [00:57:17] Conservatory and the Madeira Classical Orchestra, but at a certain [00:57:21] point, I think to aspire to [00:57:25] better, better goals, we have [00:57:28] to, to, to leave and have the courage to, to, to [00:57:31] accept new new [00:57:34] difficulties. [00:57:43] the Madeiran violinist who has the privilege of playing an 18th [00:57:47] century violin, an instrument valued at many thousands of [00:57:51] euros.
