[00:00:16] It was a bridge that changed the country, a masterpiece
[00:00:19] of engineering, one of the largest
[00:00:22] Portuguese infrastructures, a symbol of Lisbon
[00:00:25] and Portugal, the first connection between the
[00:00:29] two banks. The end of the Tagus
[00:00:32] was thought of when there was still no technology to
[00:00:35] build it, but technology appeared and
[00:00:38] the bridge became a reality during the time of
[00:00:41] the dictatorship.
[00:00:48] It is 70 m above the water, its highest
[00:00:52] point is 196
[00:00:55] m, 300,000
[00:00:58] officially reported by the people pass through here per day.
[00:01:00] It is the largest road-rail suspended bridge in
[00:01:04] Europe.
[00:01:11] Welcome to the 25 de Abril Bridge, on
[00:01:14] the day it celebrates 60 years, the
[00:01:17] day it receives the news.
[00:01:46] Good afternoon, trial in sight for the minister, the
[00:01:49] public prosecutor wants to take Luís Neves to court for alleged
[00:01:53] financial infractions in the judiciary. The
[00:01:56] process is in the Court of Accounts, but the Minister of Internal Administration
[00:02:00] revealed that he himself asked for the intervention of this
[00:02:03] court, while the audit and internal evaluation
[00:02:06] of the judiciary was ordered by the Minister of
[00:02:09] Justice, following cases involving the
[00:02:12] former national director Luís
[00:02:14] Neves.
[00:02:17] The days as minister are advancing, but it is his time at
[00:02:20] the head of the judicial police that continues to mark Luís
[00:02:24] Neves' agenda. While he insists that everything is fine,
[00:02:28] the Ministry of Justice ordered a...
[00:02:31] although without clarifying the scope or the period to be analyzed, he has already said
[00:02:35] that I am absolutely calm and it's
[00:02:38] good that all these audits, investigations,
[00:02:41] inquiries, hearings are done
[00:02:45] so that in the end the truth of everything comes out,
[00:02:48] so I want to say that I am absolutely calm and
[00:02:51] I am also eager, if necessary, to collaborate
[00:02:55] the Ministry of Justice also determined the
[00:02:59] opening of an internal investigation to frame what has been
[00:03:02] disclosed in the media about the internal
[00:03:06] functioning of the judiciary,
[00:03:08] but this is not the only open front for Luís Neves, who
[00:03:12] may face a trial. The Court of
[00:03:15] Accounts detected irregularities in the PJ in an audit carried out in
[00:03:19] 2023, but ended up validating the accounts,
[00:03:24] notice it and reposition but the Public Prosecutor's Office understood that a fine should
[00:03:27] be applied. What is certain is that the Court of
[00:03:31] Accounts in the first
[00:03:33] happened, there are people who are still instance understood that there was no penalty or sanction, however minimal
[00:03:36] it might be, therefore, as I understand that this
[00:03:39] fact should be re-evaluated according to the first analysis
[00:03:43] of the Court of Accounts, I will contest it and I myself, therefore
[00:03:47] I will not be judged, I myself will
[00:03:50] and
[00:03:52] phase of applications for access to I need to involve the Court of Accounts. At issue are facts
[00:03:56] 20,000 students who requested the related to a company that provided trips and did not issue
[00:04:00] an invoice. That fact there was
[00:04:03] to save a police operation of
[00:04:07] great importance in the fight against transnational
[00:04:09] organized crime, a decision of urgency had to be made,
[00:04:12] a decision on confidentiality had to be made,
[00:04:15] and I want to say the following: the way these trips, and it is trips
[00:04:18] we are talking about, were acquired, saved money for
[00:04:21] the state. To RTP, the director of the PJ's
[00:04:25] drug trafficking combat unit admits that these
[00:04:29] have been difficult weeks, we are uncomfortable,
[00:04:32] we feel, as I said, uncomfortable with a set of things
[00:04:36] that have been said about the institution, let's not
[00:04:40] confuse the whole with the part,
[00:04:43] eh, the isolated act of whoever it may be, of any
[00:04:47] organization, cannot be taken without further
[00:04:50] ado as an indicator of clear failures in the procedures of
[00:04:54] the organization in question. In a training
[00:04:57] action on... Leiria, the only topic was the
[00:05:01] minister's past, not the controversial communications
[00:05:05] network, in the middle of
[00:05:07] and Almada, was inaugurated with expected pomp summer it managed to overlap.
[00:05:10] The president praised the audit
[00:05:15] opened by the Minister of Justice and asked for speed in ascertaining
[00:05:19] the results. António José Seguro warned that it is up to all those
[00:05:22] who hold public office to defend
[00:05:26] democratic institutions.
[00:05:28] And indeed, it is in this sense that I
[00:05:31] interpret the recent decision of the Minister of Justice
[00:05:34] to have
[00:05:38] an audit carried out on the judicial
[00:05:41] police. What is important is that both this
[00:05:45] audit and the criminal investigations that are underway
[00:05:48] produce results as quickly as possible so that we
[00:05:52] can be aware of these same conclusions. It is very
[00:05:55] important that everyone, within the scope of their constitutional
[00:05:58] competencies, acts in accordance
[00:06:02] with a view to preserving the democratic rule of law and the institutions of our
[00:06:05] democracy.
[00:06:09] The contractor who carried out works at Luís Neves' house also carried out
[00:06:13] works at the house of the current financial director of the judiciary, the information was
[00:06:16] advanced by CNN Portugal which cited several neighbors of this
[00:06:20] high-ranking police officer, it was the financial director Álvaro Pires
[00:06:24] who took responsibility for suggesting the facilities of
[00:06:28] Construbercelos to house a trailer seized in a
[00:06:31] drug
[00:06:32] operation.
[00:06:38] The national examination board guaranteed that the grades for the
[00:06:42] appeals will reach the schools tomorrow morning,
[00:06:45] they will be posted in the afternoon,
[00:06:49] but the school principals warned that it will be very
[00:06:52] difficult to publish these
[00:06:54] grades.
[00:06:56] He took two Portuguese exams, went to the second phase without knowing the final
[00:07:00] grade of the first, because he requested a re-evaluation of
[00:07:04] the test. There was an error in the correction of my test, which was that they swapped
[00:07:07] the versions, I had done version two
[00:07:11] and they corrected it according to the version, that is, the questions
[00:07:14] I answered correctly, did not match,
[00:07:17] or even zero for questions that were exceptionally correct.
[00:07:21] Do you have any idea how many fewer points you had with
[00:07:24] this error?
[00:07:26] I would say it could be five or six
[00:07:29] points, points that make a difference in Francisco's life,
[00:07:33] currently prevented from applying for the course he chose in higher education. The
[00:07:37] wait may be prolonged because the reclassification process is delayed and
[00:07:40] this Friday it runs the risk of only finding the
[00:07:44] grade of the second exam fixed, will you have
[00:07:47] confidence in the grade that will appear tomorrow, if it appears
[00:07:50] tomorrow? I don't even have confidence that they
[00:07:54] will appear tomorrow, do you feel that you were a disadvantaged
[00:07:56] student?
[00:07:58] Yes, in schools Thursday afternoon was a
[00:08:02] waiting game, at this moment the schools have their principals there, they have
[00:08:06] their secretariats there, they have other types of teachers there who are
[00:08:10] waiting for the file that doesn't reach the information. It ended up arriving in the middle of
[00:08:13] the afternoon in a communication addressed to the school principals, the national
[00:08:17] examination board guaranteed that on Friday the students
[00:08:21] will consult their grades. The national examination board informs that
[00:08:24] the respective grade lists will be made available tomorrow,
[00:08:28] August 7th, during the morning, so that the
[00:08:32] schools can post the grade lists during the
[00:08:35] afternoon. If all this were running normally, today,
[00:08:39] Thursday, the schools would be receiving the files with the
[00:08:42] classifications. Up to this moment this has not
[00:08:45] classifying or re-evaluating the tests, it will be difficult for these
[00:08:49] grade lists to actually be posted, with many doubts about the
[00:08:52] re-evaluations, the expectation is that it will at least be possible
[00:08:56] to fix the grade lists of the second
[00:08:58] phase.
[00:09:01] The deadline for the first
[00:09:05] higher education ends today. The more than
[00:09:08] review of their tests have 3 more days to
[00:09:12] apply.
[00:09:15] The choice is well defined, I chose in first
[00:09:18] place management at ISEG, at the Institute of
[00:09:22] Economics and Management, followed by management also at
[00:09:25] ISCTE, the dream is management,
[00:09:29] it remains only to be seen if it will come true. Pedro is one
[00:09:33] of the thousands of students who completed their application for higher
[00:09:36] education and with confidence. I know I have a stable
[00:09:39] average, but even so it's hoping that they will leave few averages.
[00:09:43] Although there are 20,000 students who are entitled to three extra days because
[00:09:46] they are waiting for grades from the reviews,
[00:09:50] there are already more registrations than in the previous year. The GES
[00:09:53] recorded this Tuesday about 55,000
[00:09:57] applications in this first phase, numbers that
[00:10:00] exceed the 49,000 registered in the first phase of
[00:10:04] last year. This year there are also more than 56,000 vacancies,
[00:10:08] an increase of 834 in relation.
[00:10:13] to
[00:10:13] 2025,
[00:10:17] for Pedro and thousands of other students, the future
[00:10:20] is now becoming a little more real with the end of the
[00:10:24] deadline for applications for higher education, at
[00:10:27] least for the majority, it's
[00:10:29] done,
[00:10:33] household debt reached an all-time
[00:10:37] high, but what truly worries the Bank of
[00:10:40] Portugal is something else, the foreclosures are
[00:10:43] next.
[00:10:52] We are broadcasting the news live
[00:10:55] from the 25 de Abril bridge. The importance of this bridge is also
[00:10:58] measured by numbers, every year 100 million
[00:11:01] people pass through here, that's 300,000
[00:11:04] per day, an average of 2,500
[00:11:08] workers work here per day, about 2 million over 4
[00:11:12] years, the total construction time was built in
[00:11:15] 4 years from November 5, 1962 to August 6,
[00:11:19] 1966 and was named
[00:11:22] Salazar Bridge, a name that changed
[00:11:25] with the revolution to 25 de Abril Bridge,
[00:11:29] it was completed 6 months ahead of
[00:11:32] schedule.
[00:11:33] It's a route she knows by heart,
[00:11:37] Barreiro Lisbon by train across the 25 de
[00:11:41] Abril bridge.
[00:11:42] I started crossing
[00:11:47] more or less 40 years ago
[00:11:50] to cross the bridge.
[00:11:55] Every day, Irene is already retired, but she still comes to Lisbon
[00:11:59] in the same way, blessed
[00:12:02] train gave me so much happiness
[00:12:06] then I always peeked at the river, which is the most beautiful thing
[00:12:10] there is here in
[00:12:12] our country, the memories of the bridge go back
[00:12:15] to when it was built, at that time not
[00:12:19] everyone had cars, gentlemen passengers, it was light,
[00:12:22] it was an adventure, it was beautiful as if it was. on vacation in
[00:12:26] the most beautiful place it was
[00:12:29] that I remember everyone adults, children, everyone wanted to cross
[00:12:33] the bridge, crossing the bridge today is synonymous
[00:12:36] with work routine for thousands of people,
[00:12:40] I work on that side and I live on the south bank and it's the bridge and it's the
[00:12:44] train every day, yes, every day, every day for about 13, 14 years
[00:12:47] now, I've been working in Lisbon for about 46 years, 46 years
[00:12:51] of bridge, yes, I know the bridge very well too, this
[00:12:55] trip is familiar, on top with old
[00:12:59] trucks and now with the train since it started, I go every day
[00:13:02] Monday to Friday, always across the bridge, always across
[00:13:06] the bridge, in my country, which is São Tomé and Príncipe, I used to hear
[00:13:09] about the bridge, I've heard about the bridge, always school
[00:13:13] and now I cross it every day, now I cross it every day, we are
[00:13:17] needing another bridge also closer to the 25 de Abril bridge,
[00:13:20] one like it maybe from Belém to
[00:13:23] Trafaria there. Maybe there would be much more quality of
[00:13:26] life,
[00:13:30] an average of 133,000 train
[00:13:33] passengers pass through the 25 de Abril bridge
[00:13:35] per day, but there are more people who prefer to drive
[00:13:39] and there the numbers go up,
[00:13:42] 150,000 vehicles pass through the 25 de Abril bridge
[00:13:45] per day on average, you
[00:13:49] see, but I'll only take half an hour, half an hour is a luxury,
[00:13:52] normally how long does it take? 5 55, if there is
[00:13:56] an accident it takes an hour and a half, an hour and a half, I've already taken 3 hours
[00:14:00] for the Charneca da
[00:14:03] Caparica, Lisbon route, Andreia Dias always goes by car
[00:14:07] to work, I tried to go by train, it's too many people
[00:14:11] and I even felt sick from being
[00:14:14] there because we are completely crushed, it's only
[00:14:17] relatively recently that I started going by car, Vítor Martins also
[00:14:20] crosses the bridge by car every day. It's part of
[00:14:24] my daily life eh
[00:14:26] curiously on this 25 de
[00:14:29] Abril bridge my late father worked on it
[00:14:33] and so it's a bit part
[00:14:35] of the history of
[00:14:39] life isn't it life and it will be part as long as I work and as long as I
[00:14:43] work in Lisbon the journeys require
[00:14:46] patience for those who live on the south bank I have to
[00:14:49] think that there is an obstacle here and the obstacle is called 25 de
[00:14:53] Abril bridge what is the advantage? There is more quality of life
[00:14:56] attention accident we have an
[00:14:59] accident well at this moment we have an accident there's no point in having
[00:15:02] stress there's no point in anything because it's part
[00:15:06] this is for those who live on the south bank it's part I think
[00:15:09] you have to be very patient
[00:15:13] very resilient to do this every day
[00:15:15] and
[00:15:18] take this time in traffic patience from
[00:15:21] those who have learned to live with the bridge.
[00:15:30] A lot of people crossing the bridge, following the traffic flow,
[00:15:34] Ana Picos is there right now.
[00:15:39] "Hello Z and endless traffic and people tell us
[00:15:43] the same thing, if there used to be rush hour, nowadays it's
[00:15:47] always rush hour on the 25 de Abril bridge, 150,000
[00:15:51] vehicles pass here on average per day, but also
[00:15:54] 133,000 passengers who travel by train in
[00:15:57] both directions, on average per day, so 300,000
[00:16:01] people, as a curiosity, the first car that passed here on August
[00:16:05] 6, 1966 was the..." a green
[00:16:09] Austin Seven, very difficult to find today, very difficult
[00:16:13] to find it, especially on top of the bridge deck, because it's a collector's
[00:16:16] car, on that day 50,000 vehicles passed, but
[00:16:19] also at that time crossing the bridge was a luxury, it was a privilege, not
[00:16:23] all families had a car and when they crossed the bridge
[00:16:27] it was almost a family event, they gathered in the same family
[00:16:30] car to arrive in Lisbon today it was exactly
[00:16:34] what we saw in the report, the bridge is used. By
[00:16:37] thousands and thousands of people who work every day and with
[00:16:41] this advantage of having this view every day, which ends up
[00:16:45] being a postcard of Lisbon to the
[00:16:47] world,
[00:16:53] a view that serves as a backdrop to the news today, the
[00:16:57] day the bridge celebrates its 60th anniversary. Household
[00:17:00] debt in Portugal reached an all-time high, but what
[00:17:03] truly worries the Bank of Portugal is... the trend,
[00:17:06] household debt already exceeds
[00:17:09] 180 million euros and the weight
[00:17:12] of that debt in income rose again last
[00:17:16] year, largely due to housing credit.
[00:17:20] 180
[00:17:23] million euros, the number is given by the Bank of
[00:17:27] Portugal and represents all Portuguese household
[00:17:30] debt. It is a high number, in fact, the highest
[00:17:34] since records began, even counting the 2008
[00:17:37] financial crisis, but since then much has changed and this debt
[00:17:41] has another weight, naturally that inflation and economic
[00:17:45] growth explain part of this record value, but there are other factors, for
[00:17:48] example, the rise in housing prices, housing prices which are a
[00:17:52] very large component of household debt
[00:17:55] has grown very sharply, in the last year it grew above
[00:17:59] 17%. Disposable income grew only
[00:18:03] slightly above 5%, so it is normal for debt to also
[00:18:06] grow. This debt worries the Bank of Portugal,
[00:18:09] especially in housing credit, more than
[00:18:12] half of the contracts made with
[00:18:16] people who bought housing under 35 years are made precisely with a
[00:18:20] public guarantee, also other more structural factors of low
[00:18:23] frequency such as, for example, very low unemployment rates
[00:18:27] lead to people having a greater capacity for debt against
[00:18:31] future income, even if this capacity is not felt
[00:18:35] by everyone, the warning from the Central Bank in May was clear, the
[00:18:39] poorest are at greater risk of default,
[00:18:42] life seems to be more expensive. The home loan is like this, sometimes my husband
[00:18:46] says: wow, it's, it's, it's, right, the interest is very high,
[00:18:50] thank God we're getting by, right, but sometimes
[00:18:54] you have to, right, not eat out to
[00:18:58] balance the accounts, in my case yes, I have felt this
[00:19:01] difficulty, it is quite difficult
[00:19:03] to maintain minimally.
[00:19:08] daily expenses are all controlled, and sometimes we
[00:19:12] feel that they really don't have money, because they look at the amount and even
[00:19:15] want to buy bread, but
[00:19:18] well, they look for cheaper supermarket bread, this
[00:19:22] month new rules came into force to tighten the search for
[00:19:25] credit, Portugal is one of the few countries in the euro zone where
[00:19:29] household debt represents more than half of the national
[00:19:32] wealth.
[00:19:35] Families invested almost 300 million euros in the new
[00:19:38] treasury certificates, the new series has only been available for
[00:19:42] a month, attracting the savings of 8,300
[00:19:45] investors, the average investment was around 28,000 euros. The
[00:19:49] new treasury certificates have improved interest rates with an
[00:19:53] average rate of 2.7%. The
[00:19:55] Ministry of Finance concluded that this new state product
[00:19:59] managed to attract the savings of small
[00:20:01] savers.
[00:20:08] A footwear factory in Gaia laid off 60
[00:20:11] workers without prior notice, July salaries and
[00:20:15] holiday subsidies were left unpaid, a debt that exceeds
[00:20:18] 100,000 euros. Since Friday, employees have been at
[00:20:22] the company's door. They now hope that insolvency will be declared,
[00:20:25] the factory's inventory will be made and with a sale at auction they will receive
[00:20:29] what is owed to them, the administrator of Sapatos Pontual
[00:20:33] keeps his cell phone turned off.
[00:20:36] The president warned of a
[00:20:41] possible generational tragedy, if nothing
[00:20:44] happens in elderly care. António José
[00:20:47] Seguro visited a new residential structure near Viseu
[00:20:51] and said that the state had resigned from its
[00:20:54] care functions for the elderly. The president regretted that only the
[00:20:58] social sector makes investments and stated that the
[00:21:02] problem is worsening.
[00:21:05] It is unacceptable that the
[00:21:08] state has so largely abdicated its responsibility to
[00:21:11] respond to this need that drives thousands of families to despair.
[00:21:15] It is not up to the social sector.
[00:21:18] thousands of families painfully await an answer to the worsening trend of a problem that we all
[00:21:27] have a duty to prevent from turning into a generational
[00:21:30] tragedy.
[00:21:32] A storm hit the Azores and forced
[00:21:38] more than 60 people to be evacuated from a
[00:21:42] campsite.
[00:21:43] Russia launched new mass attacks
[00:21:52] against Ukraine. In the last 24 hours, dozens
[00:21:56] of people died, mainly
[00:21:59] civilians. Ukraine is intensifying attacks
[00:22:03] on Russian strategic facilities that have aggravated
[00:22:07] fuel shortages. This time it was two oil
[00:22:10] refineries. The fire was visible from
[00:22:14] a distance. The Russian defense minister stated that
[00:22:17] 600 Ukrainian drones had been shot down in a
[00:22:21] 12-hour period, these equipment are
[00:22:24] reused to confuse about the
[00:22:27] true perpetrators of the offensives,
[00:22:30] Lithuania is on alert. There are drones
[00:22:34] intercepted by Ukrainian Russians,
[00:22:37] some drones fall and those
[00:22:41] details and drone fragments,
[00:22:44] the drone parts, Russia has them,
[00:22:48] it is able to, well,
[00:22:50] construct them, assemble them into one working
[00:22:53] device, a
[00:22:56] theoretical possibility that such a device, such drones,
[00:23:00] could be used in a false flag operation,
[00:23:04] there has intensified, overnight
[00:23:07] three people died in the city of Balakliia in the
[00:23:11] Kharkiv region, and in a drone offensive on a
[00:23:14] train station in Lozova, two people
[00:23:18] lost their lives.
[00:23:29] We asked and they said a specific place near the shelter
[00:23:33] to gather and wait for further
[00:23:37] instructions on where and how that train will be and they will tell us whether
[00:23:41] they will take us somewhere else or maybe it will come here yet
[00:23:43] nothing. In the neighboring region of Sumy,
[00:23:47] Russia launched eight aerial bombs that...
[00:24:20] military equipment, Ukraine is working with European
[00:24:23] companies on the development of a new missile
[00:24:26] defense system, capable of intercepting
[00:24:30] Russian ballistic
[00:24:31] missiles.
[00:24:34] Iran reached an agreement with Oman on the Strait of Hormuz. The
[00:24:38] terms of the agreement are not yet known. The United States seems
[00:24:41] to be out of this understanding, with the Trump administration complaining
[00:24:44] that the nature of the Iranian regime is hindering
[00:24:48] negotiations.
[00:24:51] With the American midterm elections increasingly
[00:24:54] closer and the polls increasingly
[00:24:57] far from approving the war, Donald Trump went to a
[00:25:00] casino in Las Vegas and told supporters that he is putting his
[00:25:04] chips on an understanding with
[00:25:06] Iran.
[00:25:14] Adding that, contrary to what has been reported, it is not due to a lack of
[00:25:17] weapons and ammunition in the American arsenal.
[00:26:02] meaning that we have already achieved significant progress
[00:26:06] in talks with Oman and this progress. The authorities of Ceuta revealed
[00:26:21] that there are 6,000 people living in the city without
[00:26:25] documents. The president of the regional government fears a new
[00:26:28] massive entry into the enclave. Ceuta, the reports are of
[00:27:02] civilian militias organized on social media to
[00:27:06] expel migrants from some neighborhoods of the city,
[00:27:10] in the opposite direction,
[00:27:13] a desperate attempt to help as quickly as possible, because in
[00:27:16] Ceuta time is not playing in favor.
[00:27:30] There are at least six.
[00:28:22] In Ceuta, the regional president repeats that what happened shows that the security of the autonomous city
[00:28:26] is in the hands of Morocco and that the country
[00:28:29] does not even recognize Spanish sovereignty.
[00:28:36] The 25 de Abril bridge celebrates its 60th birthday today,
[00:28:39] which is why the news is being broadcast from here and this
[00:28:43] is one of the great engineering works of the European 20th century, for its
[00:28:47] construction 72,600 tons
[00:28:49] of steel, 74,196 km
[00:28:53] of steel wire and 263,000
[00:28:56] cubic meters of concrete were necessary, it is
[00:28:59] a suspension bridge with a total length of...
[00:29:02] 2,267 meters, the largest
[00:29:06] suspended span in Europe with road and
[00:29:09] rail traffic and the third largest in the world. The two main
[00:29:12] carbon steel towers measure 196 meters
[00:29:16] above water level. The south pillar has a depth
[00:29:20] of 80 and is the second deepest in the
[00:29:23] world.
[00:29:29] We are all used to seeing the Lisbon bridge.
[00:29:32] or Almada, but Daniela Santiago is in the
[00:29:36] river with a different perspective. Hello Daniela, what
[00:29:39] changes with this change of
[00:29:41] perspective?
[00:29:45] Good evening, José Rodrigues dos Santos, the main
[00:29:48] visual issue, the visual
[00:29:51] impact, changed before this river, this
[00:29:54] estuary where the Tagus enters the Atlantic, was
[00:29:58] completely clean, open, without structures.
[00:30:02] 60 years ago, or we could say, more, when
[00:30:06] the bridge started to be built, it started to have this red
[00:30:09] roof and this giant steel
[00:30:13] structure 70 m high, then it goes up to
[00:30:17] 196 there was a big change, a big
[00:30:20] change in the ecosystem, in the river, obviously
[00:30:24] this noise that frightened the first people to
[00:30:28] cross the bridge and that has to do with the two central lanes that
[00:30:32] are... from a perforated steel grate and not from
[00:30:35] asphalt and also so that the wind can pass and give
[00:30:38] stability to the bridge, there is no one who
[00:30:42] enters Lisbon by bridge or by air when the
[00:30:45] air corridor goes in this direction and the planes are approaching
[00:30:49] the runway or when you board here on cruise
[00:30:52] ships, it is not possible to forget this
[00:30:56] beautiful image of the bridge and that allowed this great
[00:30:59] alteration before, on the other side of Almada, they had to travel... 70
[00:31:03] km to the bridge at Vila Franca de Xira to
[00:31:06] cross to the other side, now they cross in a few minutes and this made the
[00:31:10] population on the south bank
[00:31:13] triple. in just two decades, all
[00:31:17] this with the change of the bridge and we are privileged,
[00:31:21] because down here I say the bridge is very
[00:31:24] beautiful.
[00:31:28] We start with the zero floor, where the
[00:31:32] cars circulate.
[00:31:35] João and Vítor will take us down and
[00:31:39] then up there.
[00:31:42] We walk 300 meters along the walkway next to the deck until we reach
[00:31:46] pillar three, you need a key to enter
[00:31:49] and
[00:31:52] pass through the door measuring 40 cm by 90,
[00:31:55] the displacements are also inspections, Victor
[00:31:59] is always attentive, this has millions of screws and most
[00:32:03] of them have been here since the 60s and we have never had any
[00:32:07] major problems, if one breaks we go there and replace it, inside the
[00:32:11] pillar we will circulate in cubicles with little more than 1
[00:32:14] m2, passing through equally small
[00:32:17] down stairs to
[00:32:20] reach dozens of landings separated by
[00:32:23] hatches. The footing is
[00:32:27] 24 landings below the deck, almost at river
[00:32:30] level. This is where we find the
[00:32:34] divers. We are going to start the underwater inspection of the
[00:32:37] 25 de Abril bridge.
[00:32:39] abril.
[00:32:42] In this inspection level, there is nothing relevant to
[00:32:45] report that I have seen, no
[00:32:47] hey
[00:32:51] there, it was free I didn't stop
[00:32:53] now they are finishing another day
[00:32:57] of inspection of the base of the pillar
[00:33:00] which is good here with the tide we had a bit shorter
[00:33:04] working time with the tides being high but we managed to complete the objective of today today
[00:33:07] they had to remove mussels this instrument is
[00:33:10] a scraper which is what we use to remove mussels that
[00:33:14] are attached to the surface of the pillar, if we don't remove
[00:33:17] the mussels we can't check if there is any
[00:33:21] damage or any fissure.
[00:33:24] Underwater inspections on this bridge are carried out every 5 years, no
[00:33:27] cracks or detachment of concrete were detected during the inspections.
[00:33:30] Victor now takes us up
[00:33:34] there. We're going to climb 70 levels,
[00:33:37] 196 m within the steel
[00:33:40] structure. 2/3 are done inside an
[00:33:44] elevator. about 75 cm2, without
[00:33:48] it we would have to climb 650
[00:33:50] stairs. The climb inside the elevator
[00:33:54] will take 3 minutes and 40
[00:33:56] seconds.
[00:34:00] Before reaching the top, it is still necessary to overcome seven more
[00:34:03] levels and a
[00:34:05] padlock.
[00:34:10] I like to come up here because it's always different, that is, the home is more crowded or more
[00:34:14] empty or there are new boats. the planes passing by, it's verification day for the
[00:34:17] illuminations, I got up there, I just confirmed that the lighthouse is on,
[00:34:21] that's good, because it's for the airplanes and it has to be always
[00:34:24] working, take the opportunity to check the alignments of the lighting, if there is any lamp that
[00:34:28] might be burned out, so that we can then schedule its replacement, also take the opportunity
[00:34:32] to check the spacers of the suspension cables,
[00:34:35] because there might eventually be a slight deviation and we immediately
[00:34:39] them,
[00:34:42] we always have a map of things to check and since I'm up here... it allows me to see
[00:34:45] this entire half of the bridge with the five, we
[00:34:49] do inspections daily,
[00:34:51] monthly, annually, we always do inspections, it is always
[00:34:55] in good condition, that is, whoever built it, built it well and we are
[00:34:58] very reassured. With Vítor, there are 26 people who
[00:35:02] look after the bridge, every day they watch over the steel and
[00:35:05] iron, but from time to time down below, there are other travelers
[00:35:09] who catch their
[00:35:10] eye.
[00:35:17] Next to a pillar of the bridge is, as we can see, Clara Osório, hello Clara,
[00:35:21] on the day there is an earthquake, how will the bridge
[00:35:24] behave?
[00:35:27] That, Zé, is a highly pertinent question and a good one to ask
[00:35:31] at this moment when we are 196
[00:35:34] meters above the level of the Tagus River, we have with us a kind
[00:35:38] of condominium administrator of this red postcard of Lisbon
[00:35:41] and of Portugal,
[00:35:44] Pedro Abegão. The answer is that the bridge would hold up in case of an earthquake, the question is asked
[00:35:48] because in '60, when this bridge
[00:35:51] was inaugurated, it was said that it was the best place to be if there was an earthquake in the Portuguese
[00:35:55] capital. Good evening, in fact the structure of the
[00:35:59] to seismic
[00:36:02] action, eh it means that in
[00:36:05] case of an earthquake its elastic behavior
[00:36:09] allows it to absorb, to counteract the
[00:36:13] forces that are induced by...
[00:36:15] by an earthquake to prove this very point and just to
[00:36:18] frame this answer, the bridge has a structural
[00:36:21] monitoring system that includes, among other equipment, a
[00:36:25] seismograph. For example, a few years ago there were
[00:36:29] two relatively close earthquakes in Lisbon, the seismograph
[00:36:32] recorded these same earthquakes, the conclusion of the
[00:36:35] analysis of the results, of the records we had
[00:36:39] was that effectively, for example, at the level of the road deck, anyone
[00:36:43] who was circulating at the time of the earthquake
[00:36:47] did not feel any difference regarding the normal
[00:36:50] vibration of the 25 de Abril bridge, there is another curiosity here, we up
[00:36:54] here have total stability, we feel the wind and...
[00:36:57] but we know that this bridge eh also
[00:37:00] moves, it can oscillate 1 m to each side, how does that work in such
[00:37:04] a large structure like this? Yes, in
[00:37:07] fact, given these characteristics of elasticity
[00:37:11] the bridge eh allows
[00:37:14] longitudinal displacements of some
[00:37:18] magnitude, for example, here at the top of the towers, the maximum
[00:37:21] amplitude of movement can be up to 2 m, that is,
[00:37:25] let's imagine the reference being a vertical
[00:37:28] plane, the two masts can, let's say,
[00:37:32] move towards each other by up to 1 meter
[00:37:35] then move away again passing through the
[00:37:39] reference point and opening in the opposite
[00:37:42] direction also by up to one meter, hence its amplitude and that is why it is resistant,
[00:37:45] it can bend but it does not break. Pedro has been
[00:37:49] here for 18 years managing this gigantic and vital
[00:37:53] structure for circulation between the north and south
[00:37:57] of the Tagus. Is there any story you can tell us? I think
[00:38:00] there was once a strange package that caused a big commotion here.
[00:38:04] Yes, that's right, in fact, it was detected
[00:38:07] that someone left a package on the
[00:38:11] road deck and after
[00:38:13] analyzing the available information, it was decided
[00:38:17] to completely close the deck and call
[00:38:20] the PSP bomb disposal squad. It was in 2015, I
[00:38:24] will now have to speed up this story, it was a suspicious package that
[00:38:28] was just a bag of dirty clothes, so from here
[00:38:31] we are watching the sunset on this special day, it is
[00:38:35] August 6th, it is six decades of
[00:38:38] the 25 de Abril bridge and we are 196
[00:38:42] m above the level of the Tagus
[00:38:44] River.
[00:38:49] Clara Osório in a live broadcast that even gives vertigo to those
[00:38:52] watching. In our company is the president of Infraestruturas
[00:38:56] de Portugal. Very good afternoon or good evening already,
[00:38:59] welcome, what is the biggest challenge for
[00:39:02] the management of this bridge? Well, the biggest challenge
[00:39:06] is not such a big challenge, we have, as you saw in the previous
[00:39:09] piece, we have highly specialized teams that every day
[00:39:12] ensure that the bridge is in perfect conditions, what is the most sensitive point
[00:39:16] of that, the most sensitive point basically is the structure itself, we are now going to
[00:39:20] make some interventions at the level of the global painting of the bridge then when it
[00:39:24] is 70 years old, that is, in 10 15 years, we have to make a very
[00:39:27] structural intervention on the bridge and with that alteration, with that
[00:39:31] intervention we will have to eh stop
[00:39:33] traffic, interrupt traffic, but by then we will already have the third
[00:39:37] crossing Chelvas Barreiro also the Algés tunnel
[00:39:40] with the redundancy that will allow us to then interrupt traffic to make
[00:39:44] that intervention that is desired to be more profound eh because it is an old
[00:39:48] bridge, although it is in perfect conditions, but in prevention and
[00:39:52] safety it is advisable to make that intervention, eh as you know this issue of the
[00:39:55] bridge is, in fact the minister Pinto Luz spoke about how
[00:39:59] with these four, with these four crossings we are going to make
[00:40:03] a city with two banks, make a city that embraces the Tagus, make
[00:40:07] better mobility and accessibility to the south bank in a
[00:40:10] project that started 60 years ago and today it is
[00:40:13] unthinkable for us to think about how we would function without a
[00:40:17] 25 de Abril bridge and you rightly mentioned
[00:40:20] a new crossing is coming, a new airport, when will
[00:40:24] work begin for this new crossing? This new crossing will be
[00:40:27] tendered next year, we must have
[00:40:31] the bridge ready by 2034 due to
[00:40:34] accessibility to the new airport or n and this is a commitment
[00:40:38] that exists on the part of the government and also on the part of IP
[00:40:41] regarding what it does to support and then the Algés tunnel
[00:40:44] eh perhaps a year or two years later but everything also depends on the concession
[00:40:47] regime that the government will announce shortly but it is a decision made because it allows
[00:40:51] us to then make the desired intervention on the bridge without burdening motorists.
[00:40:55] This bridge was built and the works finished ahead of
[00:40:59] schedule, can we have the same confidence regarding this new bridge? I
[00:41:02] believe so. Portuguese construction lately, yes, but we will resume that
[00:41:06] Portuguese tradition, eh, this bridge took four years to build and finished, as you rightly said,
[00:41:09] well ahead of schedule, but in general our bridges, the Vasco da Gama bridge also
[00:41:13] finished within schedule and we will certainly be able to
[00:41:16] and make these crossings happen because they really
[00:41:20] have to. One last question, you are the president of Infraestruturas de Portugal, this
[00:41:23] winter we had a train of weather. states with widespread destruction in some
[00:41:27] sectors of the country, especially the Leiria region, and also here in the Lisbon
[00:41:31] district, something, six months later there are still many roads or
[00:41:35] several roads that remain closed with... how will this problem be
[00:41:38] solved? Eh we have on the website a
[00:41:42] page that provides online monitoring
[00:41:45] of the opening of these roads, we had 376
[00:41:49] roads intervened, eh we managed to reopen
[00:41:52] little by little, the most difficult cases were left for the end, we had to do drainage when it stopped raining, then the drier
[00:41:56] weather came to do all those geotechnics to
[00:41:59] then create the projects to open the roads, at this moment we have 21 of them, we hope to
[00:42:03] open all of them, all of them no, we hope to open at least
[00:42:07] 16 or 17. by the end of the year, the other five, four, five
[00:42:10] will be for the first quarter of next year,
[00:42:14] eh, Paulo Carbona, thank you very much for being on the news,
[00:42:17] thank you.
[00:42:23] Two inquiries have been opened into the death of one of the detainees from the ship
[00:42:27] with five tons of cocaine.
[00:42:39] Hello. Here we are, the program that brings
[00:42:43] longing to the immigrant community spread across
[00:42:45] the world,
[00:42:48] we talk about aspects that mark our island,
[00:42:51] events,
[00:42:55] but also to kill a little of the longing
[00:42:58] and
[00:43:01] I like this, I like this balance, I like this
[00:43:04] rhythm, Atlântida
[00:43:08] this Saturday on... TP
[00:43:10] Mundo
[00:43:14] there are extraordinary people
[00:43:17] who keep our history alive,
[00:43:21] as long as they sing,
[00:43:24] shape and
[00:43:26] dance. Portugal continues
[00:43:30] to be Portugal. You are seeing the boom that this gave to
[00:43:34] Moguão's workshop. Extraordinary. This
[00:43:38] Thursday. on RTv mundo
[00:43:56] it is said the current economic situation is
[00:43:59] worrying or the current economic
[00:44:03] conjuncture is worrying, I
[00:44:06] think it's conjuncture, we are living a difficult conjuncture.
[00:44:10] or a difficult conjuncture conjuncture, a
[00:44:13] conjuncture is a conjecture possibly
[00:44:16] conjuncture is I think so a difficult
[00:44:20] conjuncture please conjecture or
[00:44:23] conjuncture conjuncture, oh boy
[00:44:27] this is complicated this is complicated, it's a case
[00:44:31] to say it's a complicated
[00:44:34] conjuncture. The correct form is conjuncture,
[00:44:38] which means situation or circumstance,
[00:44:41] conjecture is synonymous with supposition or
[00:44:45] hypothesis, this is how one speaks in good Portuguese,
[00:44:49] a conjuncture, a conjuncture, that is
[00:44:51] absolutely correct.
[00:45:01] Embark on this national journey through new
[00:45:04] places of strong cultural identity,
[00:45:08] getting to know the most...
[00:45:10] initiated traditional festivals and pilgrimages from the passionate
[00:45:14] perspective of local inhabitants,
[00:45:16] it is they all year round it is
[00:45:20] this without end, pilgrimage of my
[00:45:23] heart, premiere of the second season,
[00:45:27] Friday, right after the news on RTP
[00:45:30] world, good evening Lisbon, first the
[00:45:34] conversation, Lisbon is also that, that inclusion of everyone,
[00:45:38] isn't it, after the silence. of this
[00:45:40] voice,
[00:45:44] of this guitar and of this
[00:45:46] fado,
[00:45:50] an entire night, in times gone
[00:45:54] by,
[00:45:57] at Amália's
[00:45:58] house,
[00:46:03] live in blessing of
[00:46:06] the moon, you have soul and heart.
[00:46:12] This Saturday night on RTP
[00:46:14] Mundo,
[00:46:16] you have a hidden treasure at home, if you have
[00:46:20] vintage pieces, family relics or curiosities
[00:46:23] stored in the garage, this is the opportunity to show
[00:46:27] them to specialists and discover their real
[00:46:30] value, register now by calling
[00:46:34] 760, 100,
[00:46:36] 123, don't let your treasure gather dust.
[00:47:01] Two inquiries have been opened into the death of one of the detainees from the ship with
[00:47:05] 5 tons of cocaine. The man was found dead in his cell
[00:47:08] and prison guards believe he was
[00:47:12] cooperating with the authorities. The judiciary denied that the crew member
[00:47:16] was an informer.
[00:47:19] The judicial police admit that a relevant
[00:47:23] piece of this investigation was lost, it was an important
[00:47:26] piece from the beginning in the sense that all the
[00:47:30] evidence that existed pointed to his
[00:47:33] involvement in this criminal dynamic, he was a member of the
[00:47:36] crew of this cargo ship, he was
[00:47:39] found dead in his cell. The suicide of someone is
[00:47:42] always something that touches us all,
[00:47:46] when it happens inside a prison it touches us
[00:47:49] even more because it is a state structure. Now
[00:47:52] precisely that, inquiries are underway,
[00:47:56] two inquiries are now underway, a criminal inquiry,
[00:47:59] according to the PJ, and another inquiry by the General Directorate of
[00:48:03] Reintegration and Prison Services. The guards
[00:48:06] reveal that the Indian citizen was alone in a
[00:48:09] cell. It was requested by the inspectors of the judicial
[00:48:13] police that he should be alone in a cell. Normally when
[00:48:16] requests are made by the court, or by criminal police bodies
[00:48:20] and of the two, either it is the danger to his life, or because
[00:48:23] he is cooperating with the authorities. When one talks about danger to life, in what sense can
[00:48:27] this happen? The danger to life could also be in the sense
[00:48:31] that someone is cooperating with an investigation and the others, the other
[00:48:35] detainees, eh, do not want
[00:48:38] him to cooperate and harm him, so we
[00:48:41] suspect that he may have been cooperating with the judicial
[00:48:45] police. The judicial police confirms that
[00:48:48] there was an attitude of cooperation, but makes one thing clear.
[00:48:53] No, he was not an informer, absolutely, absolutely
[00:48:56] nothing, he was someone who up to a certain moment of the investigation was completely
[00:48:59] unknown to us. RTP knows that it was through
[00:49:03] that Indian that more than a ton of cocaine was found
[00:49:07] hidden deep in the ship's hull. In the cells there is
[00:49:10] no video surveillance according to the national union
[00:49:14] there were two or three guards for
[00:49:17] 150 inmates.
[00:49:19] The storm Musaço forced
[00:49:23] the evacuation of more than 60 people from a campsite,
[00:49:26] thunderstorms and heavy rain caused
[00:49:30] floods and
[00:49:31] landslides.
[00:49:37] It seems strange in mid- August, but it is not a
[00:49:40] rare phenomenon in the Azores. The
[00:49:43] night from Wednesday to Thursday was like this, clearer
[00:49:46] and noisier, with more
[00:49:49] than 19,000 electrical discharges. between 10
[00:49:53] p.m. and 10 a.m., the island where
[00:49:56] there were more electrical discharges, right over the island, we are talking right over the
[00:50:00] island, it was on Pico island, this happens, so the temperature with the humidity in the month of
[00:50:04] August are both very high, on the other hand there is already atmospheric
[00:50:07] instability and this instability together with the high relative humidity and
[00:50:11] high temperature makes it favorable for the formation of large
[00:50:15] vertical development clouds that cause thunderstorms. As a
[00:50:18] precaution, the campsite of Praia da Vitória on Terceira
[00:50:22] Island was evacuated, 67 people spent the
[00:50:25] night in a school, among them a group of young people
[00:50:29] who were at a party didn't notice
[00:50:32] anything. When we arrived, they were all
[00:50:35] here in the street to go to the vocational school, we wanted to go to the tent, they didn't even
[00:50:39] let us go there anymore, if we arrived at the park, they were
[00:50:42] evacuating all the people, we went to our tent, it wasn't raining at all
[00:50:46] inside our tent, everything was fine, we even stayed
[00:50:49] lying down for a while to see if we could stay inside our tent. Because we understand that there
[00:50:53] are people who might even be bad, but we had no problem,
[00:50:57] today they forced us to leave, they were tearing off the wristbands of those who didn't want
[00:51:01] to leave so they couldn't enter the park anymore, and now
[00:51:04] today is the best day of sunshine we've had, this
[00:51:08] Thursday the weather improved, the IPMA changed the orange warning
[00:51:12] to yellow, during the night the storm caused
[00:51:16] a landslide on a road and floods in
[00:51:19] some houses, but there are no records of...
[00:51:26] We already know, the 25 de Abril bridge was inaugurated on this day
[00:51:29] 60 years ago. Over six decades, the bridge
[00:51:33] has accompanied various phases of the country's history.
[00:51:35] On
[00:51:38] that day, the sun of Portugal could not miss a national
[00:51:42] celebration like this one, the inauguration of the Tabazar Bridge.
[00:51:44] The enthusiasm in Henrique
[00:51:48] Mendes' voice shows how special this day, August 6,
[00:51:51] 19966,
[00:51:52] was.
[00:51:55] The new bridge over the Tagus, uniting Lisbon
[00:52:00] and circumstances. The main figures
[00:52:03] of the regime were present. António
[00:52:07] Souza Silva was also there, he was a 31-year-old
[00:52:10] photographer, he is now 91, I shot seven
[00:52:14] rolls, I shot more than seven rolls, I don't know, I don't know
[00:52:17] where I put them, with the protocol set up on the Almada
[00:52:21] side, António decided to go to the Lisbon
[00:52:25] side, he was alone, he ran or not, or it was not necessary
[00:52:28] to run, it was force, he did not have
[00:52:31] vertigo, he did not look down, today I do. Obviously not at
[00:52:35] the time, so when he arrives at the other side,
[00:52:39] Salazar Bridge, waiting for them to press the button, there it
[00:52:43] is. No one has that photo,
[00:52:47] everyone was there on the Almada side, no one, the inauguration concluded an ambitious
[00:52:51] work that lasted almost 6 years, but even finished ahead of
[00:52:54] schedule, an engineering feat with an American company
[00:52:58] and thousands of Portuguese workers, many more than the four
[00:53:03] dictatorship died. it was much faster in service, wasn't
[00:53:07] it, while sometimes I had to go around to Vila Franca, now
[00:53:11] through here I save an hour or so, it is with the 25 de Abril that the
[00:53:14] first great transformation takes place in the revolutionary vertigo of
[00:53:18] 1974, the dictator's name no longer fit
[00:53:21] in the streets. Salazar falls again, this
[00:53:25] time with the letters knocked down by a metalworker's sledgehammer, they improvised
[00:53:29] by writing by hand what would remain for the future. During.
[00:53:33] the bridge had
[00:53:37] the most anticipated name, with
[00:53:39] the country rapidly changing, one could count on at least one
[00:53:43] constant, this Sunday's beach may turn out to be the one that
[00:53:46] had the most traffic on the bridge over the Tagus,
[00:53:50] it was 7 o'clock when the congestion started,
[00:53:54] there are about 12 km of traffic moving slowly,
[00:53:57] in 1994 the bridge
[00:54:01] became a battlefield, a 50% increase in the price.
[00:54:05] this toll leads to a several-day honking and hours of
[00:54:09] waiting in traffic, this is a country
[00:54:11] of sheep, because otherwise everyone would pass and no one would pay anything, I heard the
[00:54:15] prime minister say that if he were a motorist he would also
[00:54:18] honk I would be able to do
[00:54:21] the same. The peak of this The crisis happens when a group of
[00:54:25] truck drivers blocks the bridge at dawn. The government
[00:54:29] arrives by helicopter to assess the situation that quickly becomes
[00:54:32] explosive. Foga.
[00:54:35] I have 2 minutes, at the end of which I will
[00:54:37] proceed.
[00:54:40] young people throw stones at the intervention police,
[00:54:44] violence of the police charge is the symbol of the fall of
[00:54:47] Cavaco Silva's era, it is already another prime minister who
[00:54:51] inaugurates the bridge train, another will cross it
[00:54:54] running, the deck is the most coveted stretch of the half
[00:54:57] marathon, when the bridge escapes motors and tires,
[00:55:01] it becomes momentarily calm,
[00:55:04] a tranquility that not even the peak of the pandemic brought
[00:55:07] it.
[00:55:10] It has already been the stage for an
[00:55:12] unprecedented performance.
[00:55:17] James Bond has already passed through it,
[00:55:21] it even had a cascade of fireworks.
[00:55:25] It is the crossing of millions to the north and to the south, on
[00:55:28] a working day or on a day off, speeding or stuck in
[00:55:32] traffic, for 60 years that this...
[00:55:35] also crosses the history of the
[00:55:37] country.
[00:55:42] Now for sports, Francisco Campos won the first stage in
[00:55:45] line of the Volta a Portugal bicycle race, the race has
[00:55:49] a new leader, Rui
[00:55:51] Oliveira.
[00:55:54] To the west, all new and with 21 nationalities
[00:55:58] in the tour, the strong possibility and beyond the landscape, of impressive
[00:56:01] beauty, the climbs of the second half of the stage
[00:56:05] surprised someone, transforming the hypothesis of an
[00:56:08] idyllic journey into a nightmare, so says
[00:56:12] Julius Johansen, for the capacity of the
[00:56:15] Dane, first leader of the tour, it wasn't even necessary to
[00:56:18] scale the wall of the Moors to take away the spirit of
[00:56:21] conquest, for some reason, steep,
[00:56:24] Sintra has spectacular and clear views,
[00:56:28] it was clear there that in Queluz the tour would have another
[00:56:31] leader. Rui Oliveira thought again about victory, but did not manage to
[00:56:35] be side by side with Daniel Caviada Burgos and Francisco Campos
[00:56:38] from Tavira, the author of the first sprint victory in the first
[00:56:42] stage in line, an Algarve victory curiously before the
[00:56:45] tour packed up in Aldeia Feira and yes, despite being fourth in the stage, it was
[00:56:49] this time that Rui Oliveira wore the Yellow Jersey at the Queluz Palace,
[00:56:52] heir to his colleague Rei position that on the
[00:56:55] eve he only
[00:56:57] postponed.
[00:57:01] The yellow jersey changed hands within the same team.
[00:57:05] For the new yellow jersey, it was the fulfillment of a
[00:57:08] dream.
[00:57:11] A simple gesture anticipated what the road later confirmed, the farewell to the
[00:57:15] yellow was the most probable scenario, which didn't... my
[00:57:54] objective was to win a stage, I had never dreamed
[00:57:58] of wearing yellow, today I wear
[00:58:02] yellow,
[00:58:04] tomorrow a whole stage in
[00:58:07] yellow,
[00:58:10] I'm going to try to enjoy it, I know that many people are
[00:58:13] happy for me, Francisco Campos won in a sprint at the finish line at the Queluz
[00:58:17] National Palace, on a very difficult day for the team, the final brought
[00:58:21] the best compensation, with this climb to Sintra
[00:58:24] it ended up selecting the group a little more and favoring me even more
[00:58:28] because pure sprinters don't usually make it and that favors me immensely
[00:58:32] it ended up being a day,
[00:58:34] an extraordinary day for me and I am very happy, the
[00:58:38] finish line
[00:58:41] was crooked, ah, so we had
[00:58:44] Noah who had to abandon today and
[00:58:48] Afonso who is our leader ended up puncturing
[00:58:51] on the climb on the second mountain of the
[00:58:55] day and changing bikes with a teammate, losing the front
[00:58:58] group and in fact things
[00:59:01] were
[00:59:04] one of those things where everything seems to go
[00:59:06] wrong then you arrive and
[00:59:09] that happens which
[00:59:13] was almost better than when everything goes well. This Friday the arrival at...
[00:59:17] Fora will be another great opportunity for the fastest men in the
[00:59:21] peloton.
[00:59:24] The "Bons Sons" festival has begun. For 20 years, the
[00:59:28] village of Cem Soldos has hosted Portuguese music and thousands of
[00:59:32] visitors.
[00:59:35] On the outside, it's just a typical Portuguese cafe,
[00:59:38] Antónia Eurídes, a name and life, and this is one of the
[00:59:42] few establishments in Cem Soldos. Inside, the rhythm
[00:59:46] deviates from normality.
[01:00:17] contribute to making the village a festival. I was the
[01:00:20] cook for the volunteers, the security guards, the
[01:00:24] artists, everyone came to my table, everyone
[01:00:28] ate their delicacy, everyone ate my delicacy, these are
[01:00:31] memories that 20 years later are part of the
[01:00:34] collective imagination, those who were here and stayed
[01:00:38] still remember that first edition in
[01:00:41] 2006, I don't easily forget it because I worked with a good
[01:00:44] humor, I made all the huts.
[01:01:50] And the newscast ends here at the moment when the
[01:01:54] 25 de Abril Bridge lights up to celebrate its
[01:01:57] 60th anniversary. Good night, we will see
[01:02:01] each other again tomorrow.
[01:03:40] There are traditions that cross centuries, others almost
[01:03:44] disappeared, but all have something in
[01:03:47] common, they survive because someone decided not
[01:03:50] to let them die, in every corner of Portugal,
[01:03:54] there are those who keep ancestral knowledge alive,
[01:03:58] they are the guardians.
