[00:00:04] Praia da Vitória campsite on
[00:00:15] Those who requested a re-evaluation of their exams should know the results
[00:00:18] tomorrow, but the SOS movement, public school, fears that
[00:00:22] this will not happen.
[00:00:26] Bad weather in the Azores causes floods, forcing the evacuation
[00:00:30] of dozens of people from a campsite. I
[00:00:32] prefer to reach an agreement because I don't
[00:00:35] want to kill people, that statement
[00:00:39] is from Donald Trump who again talks about an understanding
[00:00:43] with Iran and today
[00:00:46] is the day the 25 de Abril Bridge turns 60. The afternoon news will begin on
[00:00:50] RTP-1, RTP
[00:00:53] notícias, RTP África and RTP
[00:00:58] to Mundo.
[00:01:12] 100 units per day to
[00:01:15] Good afternoon, welcome. Tomorrow is the day the results of the
[00:01:18] re-evaluation of exams are released, but the SOS Public School movement
[00:01:21] believes that this will not happen. Today
[00:01:25] is the deadline for applications for access to higher education, but
[00:01:28] those who requested a review have three more days to
[00:01:32] apply.
[00:01:35] There are already more registered applicants than in the entire first phase last year. The
[00:01:39] General Directorate of Higher Education counted on
[00:01:41] Tuesday almost 55,000
[00:01:44] applications, numbers that exceed the
[00:01:47] 49,595
[00:01:49] enrolled in the first phase last year. This
[00:01:53] year there are more than 56 thousand vacancies, plus
[00:01:56] 834 compared to 2025.
[00:02:00] On the first day of this year's competition, only 304
[00:02:04] students had formalized their application, much lower than the
[00:02:07] 10,000 who had done so on the first day of last year's
[00:02:10] competition, numbers that can be justified by the doubts students
[00:02:14] had regarding the first phase grades. The
[00:02:17] results of the re-evaluations and second phase exams will be
[00:02:21] known this Friday, but teachers continue to be
[00:02:25] surprised by the
[00:02:27] that the dictatorship officialized correction of more items, as is the case of the teacher.
[00:02:30] who initially had 61 items to grade, but on the
[00:02:34] last day found more responses to
[00:02:37] correct. On August 4th, which was the last day
[00:02:40] we had to grade the items, around
[00:02:44] 1 pm, more or less, when I returned
[00:02:47] to finish that whole grading process that had been
[00:02:51] handed to me, I was missing six items and
[00:02:54] I found 11 more items on the platform to
[00:02:58] grade. I tried to get an answer, even because I had to
[00:03:02] postpone my vacation to complete the grades, but to no
[00:03:05] avail. I started my vacation yesterday, I hope,
[00:03:08] and now I will be until the end of the month and
[00:03:11] I extended it through September, the days
[00:03:15] that I didn't enjoy
[00:03:18] now. What happens with all this, look, we have family, all
[00:03:22] of us have family, we have the right, vacations are a right, obviously,
[00:03:26] this ends up distorting the dynamic,
[00:03:30] the family dynamic. The platform, in the first two to
[00:03:33] three days, because on the third day we still received reports, was
[00:03:37] intermittent, so sometimes they could access it, sometimes they couldn't
[00:03:40] access it. And the errors
[00:03:43] repeat themselves. We're talking about colleagues who ended up staying
[00:03:47] effectively on duty again, giving up their vacations,
[00:03:50] and to this day have never received a
[00:03:54] single test. We're talking about Portuguese teachers waiting for
[00:03:57] tests, people working with machines, waiting for the
[00:04:01] tests to fall into their lap so they can proceed with the
[00:04:05] Assisi, reminding them that grading and they can't do it. The SOS Public School movement
[00:04:09] fears that the results will not be released this
[00:04:13] Friday. RTP knows that until the end of yesterday,
[00:04:16] there were still teachers who were correcting more
[00:04:20] items. It will probably happen again, the same situation
[00:04:24] that already occurred in the first phase, which
[00:04:28] is that there will be students who will not see
[00:04:30] their grade, the real grade, or whose grade will not
[00:04:34] sending out on roads for which we do not appear. Teachers are in a race against time. The
[00:04:37] Minister of Education is still under
[00:04:39] fire. The
[00:04:43] 6-month delay in bad weather in the Azores forced the evacuation of 67
[00:04:45] company was unable to people from the campsite of Praia da Vitória on Terceira Island.
[00:04:48] Dozens are housed in a school. The storm also caused
[00:04:52] a landslide and several floods. Today there is already an
[00:04:55] Orange Alert for the islands of the
[00:04:57] ES, the environmental company in Central and Eastern groups.
[00:05:00] It was a night of strong meteorological instability in the
[00:05:03] Azores. A succession of
[00:05:06] employee was only lightning lit up the sky for several hours. There was
[00:05:09] intense rain and thunderstorms in the archipelago.
[00:05:13] 47 people had to be evacuated from the
[00:05:16] Terceira Island. They were rehoused in a school,
[00:05:20] including a group of young people returning from a
[00:05:22] party. We were at the party,
[00:05:26] when we arrived, everyone was already here on the street to go to
[00:05:30] the vocational school. We wanted to go to our tent, they let us go, but
[00:05:33] when we arrived at the park, they were evacuating all the people.
[00:05:37] We went to our tent, it wasn't raining at all inside our tent, everything was fine.
[00:05:41] They forced us to leave. They were tearing down the barriers for those who didn't want to leave
[00:05:45] so they couldn't enter the park anymore. And now
[00:05:48] today is the best sunny day we've had this
[00:05:52] year at the beach parties and we have to stay outside waiting until noon to be able to
[00:05:56] go to the tent. Precautions to ensure the
[00:05:59] safety of everyone. On several islands, electrical discharges
[00:06:03] were practically continuous in an episode of bad weather that left
[00:06:07] some incidents, including floods in several
[00:06:10] houses and at least one... landslide on a road. The
[00:06:14] regional civil protection and fire department recommends that the
[00:06:17] population follow the information and adopt
[00:06:21] self-protection measures, avoiding unnecessary
[00:06:24] travel. The Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere
[00:06:28] maintains the Central and Eastern groups of islands under
[00:06:31] Orange Alert due to the forecast of heavy rain and
[00:06:35] thunderstorms.
[00:06:38] During the night and morning, 19,000
[00:06:42] electrical discharges were recorded in the central and eastern groups of the Azores Archipelago.
[00:06:46] The island most affected by the strong thunderstorm was
[00:06:49] Pico. In the IPMA lightning detection network,
[00:06:53] we recorded about 19,000 electrical discharges in the
[00:06:57] central and eastern groups,
[00:07:00] from 10 pm yesterday to 10 am this morning, so from
[00:07:04] 10 pm yesterday to 10 am this morning. The island with the most
[00:07:08] electrical discharges, even right over the island, we are right over the island, was
[00:07:11] here. where we recorded
[00:07:15] 188 electrical discharges from cloud to
[00:07:19] ground and therefore they reached the island and 226 electrical
[00:07:23] discharges over Pico island from cloud to cloud, therefore without
[00:07:26] reaching the ground. This happens because the temperature and humidity in
[00:07:30] August are both very high. On the other hand, there is already atmospheric
[00:07:34] instability and this instability, together with high relative
[00:07:37] humidity and high temperature, makes it favorable for the formation of
[00:07:41] large vertically developing clouds, which are the ones that cause
[00:07:44] thunderstorms. The National Health Service spent
[00:07:47] 21 million euros less on temporary workers and overtime.
[00:07:50] Overtime expenses for NHS doctors dropped by
[00:07:53] 12.9%. Expenses with service provider
[00:07:57] doctors also decreased by 6.3%. The
[00:08:01] regulation of medical services in the NHS
[00:08:04] has been one of the government's objectives. The
[00:08:08] decree-law of June 17 establishes
[00:08:11] new contracting rules, at the same time it
[00:08:15] creates incentives for supplementary work by doctors to ensure more
[00:08:18] stability in emergency services. The numbers show
[00:08:22] that between 2025 and 2026 there was a reduction
[00:08:25] in the number of extraordinary hours, which corresponded to a 12.9%
[00:08:29] decrease in expenditure, a reduction
[00:08:32] that is also observed in the case of service provider doctors with
[00:08:36] a 6.3% decrease in
[00:08:38] expenditure. Among the specialties that most use
[00:08:42] extraordinary hours are internal medicine, general surgery
[00:08:46] and general and family medicine. In the case of
[00:08:49] internal medicine and intensive medicine, there was even an
[00:08:52] increase in the number of hours and expenditure between 2025 and
[00:08:55] 2026. The local health units of
[00:08:59] Coimbra, São José and Santa Maria are the ones that record the most
[00:09:02] supplementary work hours, Algarve and Médio Tejo are the ones that
[00:09:06] most resort to service
[00:09:08] providers.
[00:09:12] Blood donor associations guarantee that hundreds of donations are
[00:09:16] wasted due to collection cancellations, all due to lack of
[00:09:19] human resources at the Blood Institute, this in summer,
[00:09:23] the main period of drop in
[00:09:26] reserves.
[00:09:28] The associations speak of several collections canceled
[00:09:32] since May, now worsened as usual during the
[00:09:35] holiday period. Hundreds that they say
[00:09:38] are wasted. Even last Saturday in Rio
[00:09:41] Maior. a blood collection that initially had
[00:09:45] 90 registered donors,
[00:09:47] the Lisbon Blood Center decided
[00:09:50] to reduce that blood collection to 60 donors, on the
[00:09:53] day it only brought equipment, material and professionals for
[00:09:57] 50 and this
[00:10:00] means that about 30 people left without being able to donate
[00:10:03] blood. This is happening across the country, they assure, despite
[00:10:07] official appeals for donation with hospitals in
[00:10:10] a crisis of reserves, to have the blood they need,
[00:10:14] namely in the city of Lisbon, namely in the city, in the
[00:10:17] Algarve and even in the north. I have
[00:10:20] we have seen a lot on social networks, Hospital São João, Hospital
[00:10:24] Santo António. Something that was not
[00:10:26] usual. The Portuguese Institute of Blood and Transplantation does
[00:10:30] not hide that there are difficulties, like transversally all public
[00:10:34] administration in Portugal, obviously
[00:10:37] that if we are talking about human resources and especially in the health
[00:10:41] area, but waste of donations no,
[00:10:44] we always try to reschedule for sessions with a greater number of donors,
[00:10:47] guarantees the director of the institute in Porto, the center that collects
[00:10:51] 40% of the total of 60 under the responsibility of the IPS.
[00:10:55] in the country. In the first semester, only 23 of the more than
[00:10:58] 800 scheduled sessions were postponed, a problem
[00:11:02] where he emphasizes there are actually two sides of the coin. For the
[00:11:05] first six months of the year, the
[00:11:08] organizers postponed 49 sessions, obviously
[00:11:12] that lack of resources and the difficulty of
[00:11:16] molecularization of donors, of facilities, of the dynamics
[00:11:19] specific to each place is not only transversal
[00:11:23] the institutes, it is also. transversal to the
[00:11:26] associative movement at this time with low reserves as in previous
[00:11:29] years it is important to know how to best contribute. Health units
[00:11:33] need more than
[00:11:37] maintain assistance. The case of A and B positive
[00:11:41] and negative blood types have reserve values, the goal is to have 7
[00:11:44] days below these values, and therefore the reminder to donors that
[00:11:48] they should make their donation is very important
[00:11:51] and they can find out where to do so at donor.
[00:11:55] PT with collection locations at this time even in
[00:11:58] bathing areas and on the Institute's website,
[00:12:01] to confirm beforehand if they meet the conditions for
[00:12:05] donating.
[00:12:09] 70 workers fired from a shoe factory in Gaia,
[00:12:13] without prior notice. Report, shortly on the afternoon
[00:12:17] news.
[00:12:20] Families invested almost 300 million euros in the new
[00:12:24] Treasury Certificates, a new series available monthly, with
[00:12:28] improved interest rates, attracted the savings of
[00:12:31] 8,300 investors.
[00:12:34] When deciding where to put their savings, many families
[00:12:38] chose the new Treasury Certificates,
[00:12:42] which have only been on sale for a month, raising almost
[00:12:45] 298 million euros from
[00:12:49] 8,300 savers. The data
[00:12:52] was sent to RTP by the Ministry of Finance, which
[00:12:55] highlights the values achieved. The balance
[00:12:58] of this first month of commercialization of savings
[00:13:02] certificates is quite positive, demonstrating
[00:13:05] attractiveness and confidence in IGCP savings
[00:13:08] products. The average subscription value was
[00:13:12] approximately 28.2 thousand euros. This
[00:13:15] means that, as intended, this product
[00:13:19] managed to attract the savings of small savers. The
[00:13:22] minimum value to invest in the new
[00:13:25] certificates is 100 euros, the maximum is 1 million. This
[00:13:29] means that the investor or saver profile for this product
[00:13:32] is not, perhaps, the most traditional family. We are talking
[00:13:36] about savers with a higher purchasing power,
[00:13:40] with the intention, probably, of keeping it until the end of the product, because the interest rates
[00:13:43] are increasing as time passes. This state
[00:13:47] savings product has several levels of
[00:13:50] profitability, starting at 2.35%,
[00:13:54] it increases until it reaches the last level,
[00:13:57] 3.35%. On average, the return is
[00:14:01] 2.71%. One thing is certain, Portuguese people continue
[00:14:05] to be afraid of investing and losing
[00:14:08] savings. I think there is above all an aversion to applying
[00:14:11] money in products they don't know, but it is evident that this would be
[00:14:15] or will certainly be the best way to
[00:14:19] protect savings, protect money that was not spent
[00:14:22] from the erosion that inflation causes. It has been causing it over the
[00:14:26] years. In June, Portuguese families had more than
[00:14:29] 200 million euros in deposits in
[00:14:32] banks, which is the highest amount
[00:14:35] ever.
[00:14:37] And there are 60 workers from the Pontual shoe factory
[00:14:41] in Gaia who were fired without prior
[00:14:44] notice. July salaries and holiday subsidies were not paid.
[00:14:48] Since Saturday, employees have been at the company's
[00:14:52] doorstep.
[00:14:55] Here in shifts, since Friday,
[00:14:58] July 31st, 5 p.m., when production stopped
[00:15:02] at this shoe factory in Gaia, by order of the
[00:15:05] owner, with a justification. The
[00:15:10] operate, that it had no money and that it would file for
[00:15:14] insolvency. Carla worked in the purchasing department of the
[00:15:18] factory and therefore knew about the financial problems.
[00:15:21] Including, they started blocking some material suppliers.
[00:15:26] demanding ready payment to
[00:15:29] release materials. Jorge
[00:15:32] was the administrator's right-hand man, but he didn't expect the
[00:15:36] dismissals. we were all fooled
[00:15:39] until the last minute and
[00:15:42] there are no words and among people
[00:15:45] who are without salary
[00:15:48] to eat, pay rent, they have children to
[00:15:52] support, I have my feet in a wheelchair, I bought a van for us to drive around
[00:15:55] paying 200 euros a month for 10 years and it's
[00:15:59] difficult, I have a daughter looking at her mother and it's difficult, just waiting to
[00:16:03] see, I have to wait to see if I have the right to receive
[00:16:07] unemployment benefits. I receive, I'm already registered,
[00:16:10] I already receive the money from Viabués, but it's not a
[00:16:13] fortune either. 60 workers, 60 life
[00:16:16] stories to resolve. The company was
[00:16:19] founded 78 years ago, remained family-owned until
[00:16:23] 2022 when it was sold to Nuno Romão, he
[00:16:26] took over a company full to the brim,
[00:16:29] of everything, without any debts,
[00:16:33] machines paid, materials paid, everything, everything, everything
[00:16:36] paid. She worked for 46 years at Pontual,
[00:16:39] has been retired since May, but still has
[00:16:43] adjustments to receive, holidays,
[00:16:45] Christmas bonus and training hours
[00:16:48] that he should have paid and did not
[00:16:51] pay. It's more than 2,000 euros, but for the
[00:16:55] 60 employees, the debt exceeds
[00:16:58] 100,000. They will only leave here, they say, after being
[00:17:01] sure that the machinery will be
[00:17:04] sold at auction and they will be paid everything
[00:17:07] they are entitled to. RTP tried to speak with the owner of the
[00:17:11] factory, who keeps his cell phone
[00:17:14] turned off. One of the detainees from the ship
[00:17:17] where 5 tons of
[00:17:21] cocaine were found dead. Prison guards believe that the
[00:17:24] Indian citizen, who was part of the crew, was
[00:17:28] cooperating with the authorities.
[00:17:31] He was found dead on Wednesday morning
[00:17:34] in cell 43 of this
[00:17:37] annex to the judicial police. It was when the
[00:17:40] prison guards were counting the inmates. The Indian, who
[00:17:44] was part of the crew of this cargo ship, was
[00:17:48] alone in a cell. It was requested by the judicial
[00:17:51] police inspectors that he remain alone in a cell. And why was it
[00:17:55] requested for him to be alone
[00:17:58] in a cell? Normally, when requests are made by
[00:18:01] either the court or criminal police bodies,
[00:18:05] one of two things: either his life is in danger, or he is cooperating with the
[00:18:08] authorities. When you say life is in danger, in what sense can that
[00:18:12] happen? The danger to life could also be in the sense that someone is
[00:18:16] cooperating with an investigation and the other, the other
[00:18:18] detainees do not want him to cooperate and
[00:18:22] harm him. That's why we suspect that he might have
[00:18:26] been cooperating with the judicial police. The judicial
[00:18:28] police do not confirm this information, but RTP knows that it was
[00:18:32] through this Indian that some drugs were found
[00:18:36] hidden in the hold of the cargo ship, more than
[00:18:40] a ton hidden right at the
[00:18:42] bottom near the hull. In the cells, there is no
[00:18:45] video surveillance and rounds are carried out by half the
[00:18:49] guards that should be there, says the
[00:18:51] national union. At night, usually two or three guards are on duty, there should be
[00:18:55] six or seven guards. Was that what happened on the night the man died?
[00:18:59] Yes, yes.
[00:19:02] 150, at this moment, is little, very
[00:19:06] little, it is the capacity of the establishment, but it is very
[00:19:09] under capacity. As RTP reported yesterday, in
[00:19:12] a first-hand report, the General Directorate for Reintegration and Prison
[00:19:15] Services stated that an internal inquiry will be conducted to
[00:19:19] ascertain the circumstances in which the incident occurred. The other
[00:19:23] two detainees were brought before a judge, one is an Italian
[00:19:26] citizen, the other a Colombian, they will
[00:19:29] be linked to the five tons of cocaine removed
[00:19:33] from this ship in Sines. This year,
[00:19:36] 2026, although we are only at the beginning of
[00:19:40] August, that is, we still have a few months ahead
[00:19:43] until the end of the year,
[00:19:46] a quantity of cocaine has already been seized
[00:19:49] that is superior to the total seized during the entire
[00:19:53] year of 2025. The merchant
[00:19:56] ship followed its planned route, it went to
[00:20:00] Tangier.
[00:20:04] As we just heard, in 7 months and a few days of this year,
[00:20:07] more tons of cocaine have already been seized than in all of last
[00:20:11] year. Authorities say they are more vigilant, but that
[00:20:15] there is also more production and more sale of this
[00:20:18] drug.
[00:20:21] The year began with an absolute record at sea, almost 10
[00:20:25] tons of cocaine seized in the
[00:20:27] Azores. The largest cocaine seizure ever
[00:20:31] made in national territory. They were
[00:20:34] in a narco-submarine. It's more difficult to detect. A
[00:20:38] semi-submersible that is 15 meters long than a merchant ship
[00:20:41] 260 meters long, despite being complex, the projection of a
[00:20:45] team by helicopter to a merchant
[00:20:47] ship is not as complex as the
[00:20:51] projection of a team to a semi-submersible. It was indeed
[00:20:54] a complex operation that only happens with cooperation between
[00:20:58] military police. There are tactical issues that cannot be
[00:21:02] revealed, but the Navy used
[00:21:06] assets from its naval component of the force system,
[00:21:09] namely its patrol and inspection capability,
[00:21:12] its force projection capability, its command and
[00:21:15] control capability, to support this type of
[00:21:19] operation, to support the judicial police. Are we more attentive?
[00:21:22] Yes, we have an obligation to be more attentive. The channels of cooperation
[00:21:25] and articulation, both national and
[00:21:28] international, are increasingly
[00:21:31] working better.
[00:21:34] There is also more cocaine production and consequently
[00:21:37] a much higher sales
[00:21:41] volume. A few days ago, several bales of cocaine washed
[00:21:44] ashore on the Alentejo coast, south of the Troia
[00:21:47] peninsula, in an investigation that is now handled by the PJ with
[00:21:51] exclusive competence for drug trafficking. All
[00:21:55] diligence is demanding, delicate
[00:21:58] and not always with the desired result. In
[00:22:01] October, during a GNR approach, the Republican National
[00:22:04] Guard vessel was rammed. One
[00:22:07] military member died, three others were injured.
[00:22:11] We generically have the cocaine
[00:22:14] routes coming from South America and the
[00:22:18] hashish routes coming from North Africa, and
[00:22:21] therefore, many times these speedboats
[00:22:24] choose a determined location where they receive
[00:22:28] the drug product from one or another vessel and then
[00:22:32] very quickly carry out discharges along the
[00:22:35] coast. A source from the GNR revealed to RDP that more than
[00:22:39] 15 tons of narcotics have already been seized only
[00:22:43] in 2026. Among those detained and accused, the
[00:22:46] guard already registers 21 people.
[00:22:51] A Moldovan citizen was arrested by the PSP in Reguengos de
[00:22:55] Monçarás in Alentejo for human trafficking.
[00:22:58] That was the reason for the international warrant issued by
[00:23:01] Moldova. The 31-year-old man is accused of a
[00:23:05] human trafficking crime between February
[00:23:08] 2024 and August of last year. The PSP
[00:23:12] states in the indictment that with the help of another suspect, they recruited a
[00:23:16] citizen in Moldova who brought him to Portugal
[00:23:20] with promises of work that was illegal.
[00:23:23] The victim was forced to do agricultural work and was
[00:23:27] also physically assaulted. The detainee was presented to the
[00:23:30] Évora Court, which ordered preventive
[00:23:33] detention, where he awaits at this time an extradition
[00:23:37] decision. In his country of origin, he faces a crime with a
[00:23:40] sentence of up to 18 years in
[00:23:43] prison.
[00:23:45] The army opened a disciplinary process against the former executive
[00:23:49] director of the SNS, Gândara de Almeida resigned after
[00:23:53] his previous accumulation of functions as director of INEM in the North
[00:23:57] became known. The General Inspectorate of Health
[00:24:01] Activities concluded that the military officer did not comply with the
[00:24:04] Institute's rules, nor the rules on
[00:24:07] impediments in the position of executive director
[00:24:10] of the National Health
[00:24:12] Service.
[00:24:17] Shortly, we will look back at the memory of the
[00:24:20] 25 de Abril Bridge, which turns
[00:24:23] 60
[00:24:24] today.
[00:24:30] After several days threatening a large-scale attack
[00:24:34] against Iran, Donald Trump now says he prefers to reach an
[00:24:38] understanding than repeat deadly
[00:24:41] military attacks.
[00:24:44] After several days threatening the biggest attack ever since
[00:24:47] World War II at a rally.
[00:25:50] Iranians are extraordinarily difficult people, number two,
[00:25:54] they have a fractured system, so there are people within their system who want
[00:25:57] the war to be over, there are also people within their system who are crazy radicals
[00:26:01] who want the war to... For now and with no prospects for dialogue between
[00:26:05] the United States and Iran, the only progress is precisely in the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:26:09] Iran and Oman are preparing a joint statement after the understanding
[00:26:12] reached on navigation in those waters. The terms of the agreement
[00:26:16] have not yet been officially disclosed, but what little is
[00:26:19] known already raises concerns. Eight
[00:26:23] of the world's largest shipping associations signed a letter
[00:26:26] addressed to the United Nations and the International Maritime
[00:26:29] Organization, warning about the risks of applying tolls in the
[00:26:33] Strait of Hormuz, saying that these fees constitute
[00:26:37] a threat to the freedom of navigation, and
[00:26:39] at the limit they can even jeopardize world economic
[00:26:43] stability.
[00:26:46] Three people died in eastern Ukraine after a
[00:26:49] Russian attack on residential areas. There were also
[00:26:53] three more dead and 19 wounded
[00:26:56] in the north of the country.
[00:27:00] A week has passed since tens of thousands of people entered
[00:27:04] Ceuta, there is a humanitarian crisis in the Spanish enclave in North
[00:27:07] Africa, the population is divided between solidarity support for
[00:27:10] immigrants and episodes
[00:27:13] of violence.
[00:27:16] For a week, the population of Ceuta has almost doubled with the
[00:27:20] illegal entry of 72 thousand people. Most have already
[00:27:24] returned to Morocco, but the problems
[00:27:26] persist.
[00:27:32] world has,
[00:27:35] has supplies so they can eat, drink, we have been and
[00:27:39] continue to be in a situation where
[00:27:42] there is no, no merchandise, no necessary things for life
[00:27:46] such as water, bread, and when there is no water or bread, there
[00:27:50] are those who try to take justice into their own hands, the Spanish
[00:27:53] newspaper El País reveals the existence of true
[00:27:57] neighborhood militias, they are groups of residents organized by
[00:28:00] WhatsApp who carry out patrols.
[00:28:05] civilians under the motto "clean up the city," they prevent immigrants from entering certain streets with
[00:28:08] the use of physical force, and in the end
[00:28:11] we entered there and found it was dry there, they brought us in
[00:28:15] there, they mistreated us, they left us hungry, there was no food or
[00:28:19] anything, they hit people, they cut people, there was no one to talk to them,
[00:28:22] the people of Ceuta are not Moroccans and they live there in Ceuta,
[00:28:26] they hit him, they hit people, they cut people
[00:28:29] as if people were insects or Despite
[00:28:33] this reality, it is certain that values such as humanism have not
[00:28:36] completely abandoned what has become the scene of a humanitarian
[00:28:40] crisis, it's a shame what the children are
[00:28:43] going through, they came with an idea, they came to
[00:28:46] seek their future and in the end there is nothing
[00:28:50] this, we have it at the door of our houses, it's
[00:28:54] a shame that breaks your soul, they ask for malt, they
[00:28:58] ask for food, they ask for everything, there are many
[00:29:01] children who make up...
[00:29:42] who controls the policy for minors in three autonomous regions wants to send the children home to their parents, for now they are
[00:29:46] without a home, without parents and without
[00:29:48] a country.
[00:29:50] The Pope left a challenge to young people this morning in
[00:29:53] Assisi, Italy, asking them to be builders of
[00:29:57] peace, before thousands of participants in the Franciscan
[00:30:00] Youth meeting. The Pope invited them to imitate the
[00:30:04] model of Saint Francis of
[00:30:08] religion essentially serves to build
[00:30:11] peace.
[00:30:12] peace.
[00:30:18] 800 years after his death, it still attracts
[00:30:21] us, it lies in the magnificent humanity that led
[00:30:25] him to abandon the paths already
[00:30:27] traced. The title of your
[00:30:30] meeting.
[00:30:33] is a mission, a
[00:30:37] have maps, devote yourselves, dear
[00:30:39] young people, to the civilization of love, actualizing in
[00:30:43] different ways the vision of
[00:30:45] Francis,
[00:30:50] whoever requested a reevaluation of secondary school exams should know the
[00:30:54] result tomorrow, the SOS Public
[00:30:57] School movement fears that this will not
[00:31:00] happen.
[00:31:03] Bad weather in the Azores causes floods, forcing the evacuation
[00:31:06] of dozens of people from a campsite.
[00:31:09] I prefer to reach an agreement because I don't
[00:31:12] want to kill people, the
[00:31:16] phrase is by Donald Trump who returns to talk about an
[00:31:19] understanding with
[00:31:20] Iran and today is the day that
[00:31:24] the 25th of April bridge completes 60
[00:31:27] years.
[00:31:31] Children and adolescents who start early to have accounts
[00:31:35] on social networks, end up also having
[00:31:38] worse school results, in particular in their mother tongue
[00:31:41] and mathematics. It's a report for... shortly in this
[00:31:45] afternoon newspaper,
[00:31:47] for now the 25th of April bridge which was
[00:31:51] inaugurated precisely 60
[00:31:54] years ago, was an emblem of the new state and had the name
[00:31:58] of the dictator. these are six decades in different
[00:32:01] periods of the country's history. On such
[00:32:05] a day, the sun of Portugal could not miss a
[00:32:09] national celebration like this one, the inauguration of the
[00:32:12] Salazar Bridge. The enthusiasm in the voice of... Henriques
[00:32:16] shows how special this day, August 6, 1966, was.
[00:32:19] It was inaugurated with great pomp and
[00:32:23] circumstance, the expected new bridge over the Tagus
[00:32:26] connecting Lisbon and Almada, the main figures
[00:32:29] of the regime were present. António Sousa
[00:32:33] Silva was also there, he was a 31-year-old photographer,
[00:32:37] he is now 91.
[00:32:39] I shot seven rolls. I don't know. I don't know anymore,
[00:32:44] I worked for a studio in downtown Lisbon, I went
[00:32:47] to the bridge deck in the large group of photographers who were
[00:32:51] present, so I was one of the first to cross the bridge, I was also one of the first to
[00:32:55] cross back and forth, with the
[00:32:57] protocol set up on the Almada side, António decided
[00:33:00] to go to the Lisbon side, he was alone, he ran or
[00:33:04] didn't need to run, he wasn't
[00:33:07] forced, he wasn't afraid of heights, he didn't look
[00:33:10] down, today I am, I used to not be.
[00:33:13] no, so when I get to the other side, the
[00:33:17] Salazar Bridge, I'm waiting for them to reload so that
[00:33:20] I can fall,
[00:33:24] no one has that photo, because everyone was there in Almada, no one has it,
[00:33:28] the inauguration ended an ambitious work that lasted
[00:33:31] almost 6 years, but even finished ahead of schedule, an
[00:33:35] engineering feat with an American company and thousands of Portuguese
[00:33:38] workers, many more than the four
[00:33:42] would have died, like many
[00:33:46] other things at that time, it was decided to name the bridge
[00:33:49] Salazar, you know that it would be much faster to service, right,
[00:33:52] whereas sometimes you had to go around to Vila Franca,
[00:33:56] now here you recover an hour and a bit, sometimes on the boats you had to wait
[00:34:00] one or two or three hours and now no, the regime
[00:34:03] tried to make the bridge a postcard of an open and modern
[00:34:06] country, it is with the 25th of April that the first
[00:34:10] great transformation takes place in the revolutionary vertigo of
[00:34:13] 1974, the dictator's name no longer fit in the
[00:34:17] streets, Salazar falls again, this
[00:34:20] time with the letters knocked down by hammer by workers from a
[00:34:24] metalworking factory. It was improvised, writing by hand what
[00:34:27] would remain for the future. For years this bridge
[00:34:32] was the most hated name. The rapidly changing country could
[00:34:36] count on at least one constant. This Sunday, Praia
[00:34:40] may be the one that had the most traffic
[00:34:43] here on... over the Tagus, it was 7 am
[00:34:47] when traffic congestion began here at the entrance to the 25 de Abril bridge,
[00:34:50] a long line of
[00:34:54] traffic remains until Fogueteiro, about 12 km of traffic
[00:34:57] moving slowly. In
[00:35:00] 1994, the bridge became a battlefield, a
[00:35:04] 50% increase in the price of the toll, led to a
[00:35:07] several-day honking protest and hours of waiting in
[00:35:10] traffic. I'm walking to Lisbon, I've been walking for an hour and a half already.
[00:35:14] but do you know it's forbidden to walk if you get arrested I won't work,
[00:35:18] I won't steal anything from anyone, this is not allowed, this is paid more, this is a country of
[00:35:21] lambs, because otherwise everyone would pass and no one would pay anything, I heard the prime
[00:35:25] minister say that if he were a motorist, he would also
[00:35:28] honk, I would be able to do the
[00:35:31] same. the peak of that crisis happens when a group of
[00:35:35] truck drivers blocks the bridge in the early morning, the government
[00:35:38] arrives by helicopter to assess the situation which quickly becomes
[00:35:42] explosive, I will give... 2
[00:35:45] minutes, after which I will
[00:35:47] advance,
[00:35:50] stones rain down on the intervention police,
[00:35:54] the violence of the police charge is the symbol of the fall of
[00:35:57] Cavaco Silva's government, it's already another prime minister who
[00:36:01] inaugurates the bridge train, another will cross it
[00:36:04] running, the deck is the most coveted stretch of the
[00:36:07] half marathon, when the bridge escapes motors and tires,
[00:36:10] it becomes momentarily tranquil, a... James
[00:36:27] Bond has already passed through it,
[00:36:31] it even had a waterfall of fireworks.
[00:36:35] It is the crossing of millions to the north and to the south, on a
[00:36:38] working day or on a day out, speeding or stuck in
[00:36:42] traffic. For 60 years, this deck has also crossed
[00:36:46] the country's history
[00:36:47] and
[00:36:50] a new bridge will be built over the Tagus to serve the new
[00:36:54] Lisbon airport. Guarantee underlined by... the Minister of
[00:36:58] Infrastructure during a show that marked these
[00:37:01] 60 years of the 25th of
[00:37:03] April bridge.
[00:37:07] 500 drones to tell a story of 60 years,
[00:37:11] made of countless journeys that changed the face of
[00:37:14] Lisbon. The show lasted less than 10 minutes,
[00:37:18] some people were expecting more and it's a
[00:37:21] show that lacked music, let me tell you, but which in some way
[00:37:25] symbolizes this story from the drawing. to the dream
[00:37:28] until its realization,
[00:37:31] 3,000 workers built what at the time was one of the largest
[00:37:34] bridges in the world. It is time to build a new
[00:37:38] crossing on the Tagus, a work that cannot experience
[00:37:41] delays. It cannot and, because if
[00:37:44] it took centuries to be built, we have several
[00:37:47] problems. First, we do not keep our word with the
[00:37:50] Spanish government, to guarantee a high-speed rail link in
[00:37:54] 3 hours until 2034.
[00:37:57] then we don't guarantee that the new airport, the major national
[00:38:00] infrastructure investment, will not be served by railway, so we cannot
[00:38:04] even take that risk, the minister presents an estimated
[00:38:07] construction period identical to the 25 de Abril bridge,
[00:38:11] between 4 to 5 years and it is estimated to be
[00:38:14] roughly the same and, therefore, it will be a different bridge
[00:38:18] with another type of infrastructure and another type of engineering design, but
[00:38:21] time, because we are not just moving
[00:38:25] forward with the third crossing, this government made the decision. to also move forward with the Algestrafaria
[00:38:29] tunnel, 60 years of life of a bridge
[00:38:32] crossed by 300,000 people per day, that's more than
[00:38:36] 100 million per year.
[00:38:39] RTP pays particular attention to the 60 years of a work that changed the
[00:38:42] country, so today's news program is broadcast live
[00:38:46] from the 25th of April bridge
[00:38:49] itself.
[00:38:52] Children and adolescents who start early to have accounts
[00:38:55] on social media end up... also having worse school
[00:38:59] results, particularly in their mother tongue and mathematics,
[00:39:03] is the conclusion of an international study that highlights the
[00:39:06] negative impact of the early use of these
[00:39:10] platforms.
[00:39:13] The few seconds of attention that Miguel gives each
[00:39:16] video, turn into hours of the day for this
[00:39:19] 13-year-old student. Now during the holidays
[00:39:23] it's also a bit more,
[00:39:26] uh, well, roughly 6 hours, what applications do you
[00:39:30] use? Oh, mostly TikTok and
[00:39:33] Instagram, I've had social media for two years,
[00:39:37] with no daily time limit, except for a window
[00:39:40] between 11 pm and 7 am, when access
[00:39:43] is blocked, school grades, he guarantees, are not
[00:39:46] affected. affected.
[00:39:48] No, I know that when I have to study, when I have a more important test
[00:39:52] and when I need to study more, no, it didn't affect my grades. They were
[00:39:56] good, just fours and fives, so it's
[00:39:59] good, that was not the pattern identified by a group of
[00:40:03] Italian researchers who tried to understand the relationship between the
[00:40:06] age of creating the first social media account
[00:40:10] and the school performance of children and
[00:40:14] adolescents, it's a study with very strong associations and
[00:40:17] that allows us, uh, to
[00:40:20] state that these associations between the use of social
[00:40:24] media, parental control and attention...
[00:40:28] can lead to weaker
[00:40:30] performance, especially in subjects that require
[00:40:34] greater depth of reading, greater depth of
[00:40:38] reasoning. The difficulties are greater in mother
[00:40:41] tongue and mathematics, in English
[00:40:44] no impacts were identified. The study
[00:40:47] followed more than 5000 students from 28 schools
[00:40:51] in Northern Italy, it evaluated the effects of using
[00:40:54] Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. after 2
[00:40:58] years of social media for children who are between 10 and 11 years old in sixth
[00:41:02] grade, a difference of 0.2
[00:41:05] standard deviation is already noticeable, which, according to the
[00:41:08] authors, is equivalent to a
[00:41:10] learning. Chiara is 10 years old and
[00:41:14] is using Instagram, I
[00:41:16] usually see some routines on Instagram, my mom
[00:41:20] Yes, she can see my Instagram, she can see what you
[00:41:23] wear, yes, and people? how long have you had Instagram, you know?
[00:41:27] Not long, my mom used to manage my Instagram and
[00:41:31] my Facebook, but now I usually use
[00:41:34] it for a short time, I can only use...
[00:41:38] from 30 minutes to 1:30,
[00:41:41] even with parental control and time limits, researchers
[00:41:44] warn: the earlier the
[00:41:48] access, the more detrimental the effect of social
[00:41:51] media on academic performance. the impact
[00:41:54] is explained by the distractions caused by smartphones
[00:41:57] at key moments of the day, in addition to the type of content
[00:42:01] consumed. on social networks the linguistic
[00:42:05] richness is very, there is no linguistic richness, it is poor, and therefore, this will also
[00:42:08] lead to children having less vocabulary, uh, reading
[00:42:12] badly constructed statements and phrases, we have to look at this with some
[00:42:15] concern and understand how
[00:42:18] policies, uh, can, can
[00:42:21] regulate this use of social media by children. The
[00:42:25] study comes at a particularly sensitive time for
[00:42:28] the debate around social media, after
[00:42:31] Australia became the first country in the world to prohibit
[00:42:35] access for minors under 16 years old. The
[00:42:38] discussion has reached European countries and the European
[00:42:41] Union. France has just prohibited access to
[00:42:44] social media for minors under 15 years old. Similar
[00:42:48] measures are being discussed in Spain and the
[00:42:52] United Kingdom. Portugal will extend the prohibition of mobile
[00:42:55] phone use in schools until the ninth
[00:54:48] than a week until the eclipse, there's a rush for glasses
[00:54:52] in opticians and pharmacies, also because the
[00:54:55] injuries can be serious for those who don't have adequate
[00:54:59] protection. Report in the second part of the afternoon
[00:55:03] news.
[01:01:20] We're back for the second part of the afternoon news, those who
[01:01:24] requested a review of exams should know the
[01:01:27] result tomorrow. The SOS Public School
[01:01:31] movement fears this will not
[01:01:32] happen.
[01:01:36] Bad weather in the Azores causes floods and forces the evacuation of dozens
[01:01:40] of people from a campsite, there's an orange
[01:01:43] alert in the central and eastern

[01:06:30] of interests between a director of the common use service
[01:06:33] of hospitals and the contracted company. The decision was
[01:06:36] made by the Board of Directors who speak of something
[01:06:39] serious and incompatible with the law, but the institution's
[01:06:43] ombudsman, António Correa de Campos, disagrees and even
[01:06:46] says that the administration is harming the
[01:06:50] service.
[01:06:54] It was the Board of Directors of the common use service of hospitals
[01:06:57] itself that canceled three deals that totaled
[01:07:01] 1,280,000 euros, all due to an alleged
[01:07:04] conflict of interest. It considered that an institution director
[01:07:08] represented, at the same time, the company that received the
[01:07:11] awards. CNN Portugal talks about a network of
[01:07:15] relationships with the Deputy Director of the Northern Regional Directorate
[01:07:18] contracting services for SUS to Neovalor,
[01:07:22] one of the largest suppliers that also owned
[01:07:27] health, of which she would be communications director,
[01:07:31] but for the ombudsman none of this makes sense, because the
[01:07:36] representing the interests of the institution, belonging to
[01:07:40] SUS, but only to SUS and... eh and
[01:07:43] acted as a representative on behalf of
[01:07:46] Sush as an administrator of another company
[01:07:50] which is 100% owned by SUS,
[01:07:54] therefore, if the interests were conflicting,
[01:07:57] that is, if she was struggling between
[01:08:00] either winning with one or winning with the other,
[01:08:03] therefore between two loves, but she was not struggling
[01:08:07] between two loves, there was only one love, the case arises
[01:08:11] at a time when an audit by the general inspection of
[01:08:14] health activities and the fraud combat structure
[01:08:18] in the NHS, specifically to SUS,
[01:08:21] one of the four requested in December by parliament
[01:08:24] to private management entities of public utility,
[01:08:27] and before the entry into force of this
[01:08:30] administration, which RTP says it cannot
[01:08:33] comment on the issues that are or may come to be under
[01:08:37] analysis while these proceedings
[01:08:40] are underway, but assumes... it requested the
[01:08:43] support of the commission so that it could investigate
[01:08:47] various issues, among them the mentioned contracts
[01:08:50] that were considered null, but the ombudsman has no
[01:08:53] doubt that it is the administration that is
[01:08:57] harming the institution. That for me
[01:09:00] is perfectly clear, in fact, let's see at the end of the year how
[01:09:04] that will be observed, because the
[01:09:07] institution is reduced in its
[01:09:10] capacity, the internal environment is extremely
[01:09:13] unpleasant, people are afraid
[01:09:17] of when they are fired
[01:09:20] overnight, complaints of
[01:09:23] intimidation, threats, irregularities and even harmful
[01:09:27] management that Correia de Campo has already submitted to the Ministries of
[01:09:31] Finance and Health, the guardians of SUS, which with more
[01:09:34] than 4 thousand employees provides maintenance,
[01:09:38] food and hygiene services to public
[01:09:40] hospitals. Professor Carvalho Guerra died,
[01:09:44] born in Braga, he was
[01:09:47] 93 years old. Francisco Carvalho Guerra, was a retired
[01:09:51] professor at the Catholic University, specializing
[01:09:54] in biochemistry. He was awarded
[01:09:57] various degrees and honorary orders, he received from
[01:10:00] Pope Francis in 2020, the highest decoration
[01:10:04] granted by the Holy See. Professor Carvalho Guerra was a member
[01:10:08] of the National Council of Ethics for Life Sciences, between
[01:10:11] 2009 and 2015 by appointment of the
[01:10:15] Assembly of the Republic,
[01:10:18] in optical stores and pharmacies, the demand for glasses to watch the
[01:10:22] eclipse is greatly increasing, ophthalmologists warn of
[01:10:25] serious retinal injuries due to direct sunlight
[01:10:29] or inadequate protection. It happens next
[01:10:32] Wednesday, it's the first total eclipse
[01:10:36] since 1912.
[01:10:38] 1912.
[01:10:42] For a few minutes, day turns into night, it's one of the most
[01:10:45] anticipated astronomical phenomena of the year and nobody wants to miss
[01:10:49] out, but I have to share it with my husband, it's okay,
[01:10:52] 5 minutes, divide the time,
[01:10:55] oh but I'm so jealous of these things of
[01:10:58] nature, it's all just for me, some don't have the same luck
[01:11:02] as Regina, there has been too much demand for so little supply,
[01:11:06] I've been looking, but as always when I'm late there's nothing left, it's all
[01:11:09] sold out, 150 offered we have...
[01:11:12] another half a dozen of them waiting for late customers who remember at the last
[01:11:16] minute, there has been a very large influx of people coming to the
[01:11:20] opticians, near the opticians, optometrists, the optical
[01:11:23] technicians, also pharmacies, but not all glasses are suitable for looking at the
[01:11:27] sun, at the time of purchase or use,
[01:11:30] always look for technical certification, also pay attention to the
[01:11:33] validity, eh, yes, the validity, because this is
[01:11:36] plastic and over time it loses characteristics, common sunglasses,
[01:11:40] X-rays, tinted glass or CDs do not protect
[01:11:44] the routine, the consequences are serious, more common among
[01:11:48] young people. the central point which is the fovea, which is what can be affected during
[01:11:52] the solar eclipse, by looking, is the point that is
[01:11:55] responsible for the quality of vision, reading vision,
[01:11:59] face recognition, color vision,
[01:12:01] eh, recognizing money, so it's the place where
[01:12:04] it stays, just 3 seconds of exposure
[01:12:08] directly looking at the sun, because a focusing
[01:12:12] of these light
[01:12:15] rays on this structure and that
[01:12:19] destroys, there are 660 optical stores participating in the
[01:12:22] campaign that offers these glasses, the stock has been
[01:12:25] mostly sold out in all of them, in principle we will receive
[01:12:28] more, what I can guarantee is that within the optical zone all
[01:12:32] people who have a registration and a code will have glasses to pick up, we were
[01:12:36] then forced to acquire the glasses that we will have here in our pharmacy on
[01:12:40] Friday because we have had a great demand. The eclipse will be
[01:12:43] visible throughout the continental territory, but the sun's coverage varies according to
[01:12:47] the location, so there are already those who are looking for the best place to
[01:12:51] look up at the sky, I'm going to Spain to see it and I'm with...
[01:13:03] It is still discouraged to use mobile phones or cameras without solar filters, the last
[01:13:06] total solar eclipse in Portugal happened in 1912, the
[01:13:10] next one will be in 2144.
[01:13:13] The centenary meeting is scheduled for next Wednesday between the sun
[01:13:17] and
