[00:00:04] and are submitting their applications. According to the Massachusetts, we
[00:00:06] have
[00:00:08] talent, new judges, almost 10 years ago I was a contestant on
[00:00:12] The Voice, I'm doing very well here next to my brother, all
[00:00:17] Pinho again places that's left is for us to start turning
[00:00:18] the responsibility on chairs, the truth is that this edition holds a huge
[00:00:22] secret, The Voice, new season
[00:00:25] premieres this Sunday on
[00:00:29] RTP.
[00:01:52] Specialists and researchers on breast cancer highlight the importance
[00:01:56] of physical exercise in rehabilitation.
[00:02:01] Today marks International Mental Health Day, the University of the Azores
[00:02:05] organizes the positively
[00:02:06] jornadas.
[00:02:09] Government wants to create an Azorean descendant card for immigrant communities with
[00:02:12] the same rights as residents.
[00:02:16] prisons, they have no kind of
[00:02:25] Welcome to Atlântico news. Physical exercise, prescribed and
[00:02:30] Union is scheduled for adapted. to the oncological condition can be very important in the recovery of
[00:02:33] patients, an alert left at the oncology congress taking
[00:02:37] advocacy, because where is the place in Ponta Delgada. The gold medal in Rosa Vida association wants
[00:02:40] to implement a physical exercise program in the Azores already next
[00:02:43] year, and in partnership with the regional secretary of
[00:02:46] health.
[00:02:50] To say go exercise, it's not
[00:02:52] hh are prescribing it and adapting it to an oncology patient,
[00:02:56] it's not referring patients to qualified technicians.
[00:03:00] it works, so why doesn't everyone get it? do doctors admit
[00:03:03] their mistakes? if they
[00:03:06] prescribe in a conscious
[00:03:08] way and say: this is as important to
[00:03:12] you as
[00:03:15] been in recent years. At the this medication that comes with a medical prescription with a dose, the
[00:03:17] day, the time, people do it, exercise
[00:03:20] helps people be responsible for their own cure
[00:03:24] in a very important part here with cancer,
[00:03:27] but with cardiovascular diseases.
[00:03:30] with diabetes it's exactly the same thing, Cirgia, oncologist
[00:03:33] and researcher at the Champalimaud Foundation, was
[00:03:37] present at the congress promoted by the Rosa Vida Association.
[00:03:40] Maria João Cardoso shared scientific evidence about
[00:03:44] the effects of exercise adapted to the
[00:03:47] oncological condition. With much less cost,
[00:03:51] economic cost, we
[00:03:54] achieved in this, in this large study that was published last
[00:03:57] year regarding colon cancer. a decrease
[00:04:01] of 30% in mortality.
[00:04:04] For the Regional Health Secretariat, diagnosis and
[00:04:07] treatment have been a priority, but Pedro
[00:04:10] Pais admits that prevention is also a great concern. Screenings
[00:04:13] are one side of the coin. The Azorean population
[00:04:17] plots of land, a common reality in adheres significantly to screenings. It
[00:04:21] is also important to highlight the work that the Azores Oncology Center and all
[00:04:24] involved professionals have done to bring these same screenings to all
[00:04:28] the heifers, considering our territorial discontinuity, not
[00:04:32] always at the desired timing, so it's an operation that takes its
[00:04:35] time, but we are managing to respond to all the heifers. the
[00:04:39] idea is to implement a prescribed and adapted
[00:04:43] physical exercise program also in the region. the training
[00:04:46] of health professionals, whether doctors, knowing what they should
[00:04:50] refer, it's not just saying: look, go exercise, no, what should they refer
[00:04:53] and where? and on the other hand, professionals who can receive
[00:04:57] them for the users, and that will start in the first quarter, what was agreed with the
[00:05:01] regional sports directorate and also with the directorate and the regional health
[00:05:04] secretariat, was in the first quarter to think about a model already because the
[00:05:08] funds to do it will be raised, are being raised by these
[00:05:11] events. where Domingos Rebel school is taking place in Ponta
[00:05:15] Delgada.
[00:05:17] The Portuguese League Against Cancer opened a new volunteer support office on
[00:05:20] Pico Island. It will operate at the Madalena Health Center
[00:05:24] and aims to strengthen the proximity and support
[00:05:28] for oncology patients.
[00:05:31] It is at the Pico Island Health Unit that this new humanized
[00:05:35] support response will operate. Result of a partnership between
[00:05:38] the Azorean regional nucleus of the Portuguese League Against Cancer and the local
[00:05:42] Health unit, the office managed by volunteers from the Island, aims
[00:05:45] to facilitate access to the various services and resources
[00:05:48] provided by the institution. It is the first volunteer support
[00:05:51] office we created in the region and we believe
[00:05:55] that its creation represents a permanent
[00:05:59] structuring effort of the Portuguese League Against Cancer. On this
[00:06:02] Island. It allows to bring the institution closer to
[00:06:06] the community and constitutes a means of concrete
[00:06:09] response to oncology patients and their
[00:06:13] families. if we only count
[00:06:15] the years 2024,
[00:06:19] 2025 until September
[00:06:22] 30 of this year, naturally, the
[00:06:26] number of patients supported on Pico Island was
[00:06:29] 116, the number of supports provided
[00:06:33] was 221,
[00:06:36] but we believe that there are many
[00:06:39] more patients. The operation of the space. relies on the work of
[00:06:43] a team of local volunteers with specific training,
[00:06:46] capable of welcoming, guiding and providing close support to those
[00:06:50] facing illness and their caregivers. The opening of this
[00:06:54] office represents much more than mobilizing a physical
[00:06:57] space, it represents an open door,
[00:07:01] an open door for those who need to be heard, for those seeking
[00:07:05] guidance, for those who, in a particularly difficult moment of their
[00:07:08] lives, need to feel that they are not alone.
[00:07:13] With this inauguration, the regional nucleus of the League Against Cancer decentralizes
[00:07:17] its intervention, ensuring that solidarity and
[00:07:20] support reach further and closer to the
[00:07:23] populations. The bold exhibition portrays the
[00:07:26] story of several women who faced breast cancer. The
[00:07:30] exhibition is part of the Pink October program in the
[00:07:33] Azores and can be visited in Ponta
[00:07:36] Delgada.
[00:07:39] These are stories of courage and hope of women who like...
[00:08:12] showing the women that they are still
[00:08:15] beautiful and you can uh to
[00:08:19] show that
[00:08:23] uh these women were photographed last year in
[00:08:26] Braga with determined gazes and smiles of
[00:08:29] those who believe that through a hug or a caress they will
[00:08:33] gain strength to face the
[00:08:35] battle.
[00:09:20] The brilliance of these courageous women is on
[00:09:22] display at the Parque Atlântico shopping center until
[00:09:26] the end of the month.
[00:09:30] The nursing students of the University of the
[00:09:33] Azores organized the positively jornadas in
[00:09:36] Ponta Delgada, a call for attention to the importance of mental
[00:09:40] health in an academic context and to... the need
[00:09:43] to find balances.
[00:09:47] The life of a university student can be very stressful and various
[00:09:51] problems can result in a
[00:09:54] spiral of anguish and loneliness
[00:09:58] that must be counteracted, explain the
[00:10:01] organizers. Studies carried out by the University of
[00:10:05] the Azores indicated that one in three
[00:10:08] students already has some mental health alteration.
[00:10:12] Our main objective here is to foster mental health in young
[00:10:16] students, that is our main
[00:10:18] objective,
[00:10:21] because positively we learn a lot about these issues. We feel
[00:10:25] that expectations are often placed
[00:10:38] on us, there is also pressure that can even affect
[00:10:42] mental health, for example, a study that the university had also carried out
[00:10:46] indicated a lot of loneliness and it
[00:10:49] is something that can be combated, the
[00:10:52] main thing is for people to know that they are not alone and that seeking
[00:10:56] help does not make them more fragile, the displaced
[00:10:59] students in increasing numbers, managing
[00:11:03] expectations, the pressure of the system and
[00:11:06] of results, the social pressure, in
[00:11:10] our days the pressure of social
[00:11:13] networks can be problematic and I think what
[00:11:17] happens here is that our young people and young
[00:11:20] adults have some, they will
[00:11:24] present some difficulties in terms of socio-emotional
[00:11:27] skills that are very related to being with
[00:11:31] others, coping with diversity, having
[00:11:34] strategies to maintain balance amidst so many tasks
[00:11:37] of a daily life that is stressful, this makes
[00:11:41] them feel lost, they end
[00:11:45] up not being able to manage, they become very distressed with the
[00:11:48] expectations placed on them, all the tasks that are
[00:11:51] demanded, expected, "in this
[00:11:55] phase of their lives it's trying to give more
[00:11:58] robustness, be closer to them and meet their
[00:12:02] real needs in this
[00:12:05] journey. The panorama of the Azores should be similar to
[00:12:09] what happens in other universities in
[00:12:12] the country, and should raise similar
[00:12:15] concerns about the search for solutions for
[00:12:19] balance.
[00:12:22] The adoption of animals by nursing homes is an initiative that has gained
[00:12:25] prominence in Portugal, today on International Mental Health Day we present
[00:12:29] a nursing home in Espinho that adopted animals to promote the
[00:12:33] well-being of the institution's
[00:12:34] residents.
[00:12:38] These are Kit and Cat, they arrived
[00:12:42] two years ago at this nursing home in Espinho and quickly realized that
[00:12:45] there would be no shortage of cuddles here. But they don't like the
[00:12:49] kittens, they like them
[00:12:52] very much, I don't speak, they like them. they even make
[00:12:55] caresses and they go to their legs, they were
[00:12:59] rescued from the street by an association and adopted
[00:13:02] as babies by the nursing home, nowadays they are part of the
[00:13:06] residents' routine, more and more
[00:13:09] institutions uh both for the elderly and for
[00:13:13] children, people with some disability
[00:13:17] resorting to animals for therapies, for
[00:13:21] well-being, they are almost our companions in therapy
[00:13:24] eh... Here in good humor therapy, in affection therapy.
[00:13:28] In this wing, the two cats made the environment more familiar
[00:13:32] and more similar to what some
[00:13:35] once had. Many of them have had pets at some
[00:13:39] point, this brings them memories, recollections,
[00:13:42] emotions. The objective is to introduce
[00:13:45] different animals in different areas of the institution, diversifying
[00:13:49] the stimuli according to the main emotional needs of
[00:13:53] each group and if... the main mission of the two cats is
[00:13:56] to stimulate good humor and promote serenity, the
[00:14:00] katurraema is slightly different, it's like
[00:14:03] this animal is my family, this animal
[00:14:06] is like my
[00:14:09] son, many times when people enter institutions they are
[00:14:13] deprived of these social roles they assumed before because suddenly
[00:14:17] they have a battalion of caregivers who do everything for them
[00:14:21] here the logic is to really reverse this this this tradition.
[00:14:25] they are and let them assume responsibilities, maintain
[00:14:28] roles, feel that they still have usefulness, sometimes I'm there for
[00:14:32] an hour and a half cleaning then she's quiet,
[00:14:35] what do you want, go up there and she
[00:14:38] goes right on my hand, goes up and
[00:14:42] she goes where I told her, Mr. Alberto is really the
[00:14:45] caretaker of our Ema, he gives her a sense of
[00:14:49] purpose, he gives her a mission every day and it ends up being something
[00:14:53] that brings her fulfillment and some...
[00:14:56] According to a Harvard University study, published in
[00:14:59] 2025 in Scientific Reports, having
[00:15:02] a pet is associated with a series of
[00:15:05] benefits for physical and
[00:15:08] mental health. The article reveals that people who have
[00:15:12] animals have lower blood pressure,
[00:15:15] reduced cognitive decline levels and
[00:15:18] a greater sense of well-being caused by
[00:15:21] oxytocin, the famous hormone of...
[00:15:30] which also regulates stress, strengthens confidence, people start to realize that
[00:15:33] animals, like the sun, music, sports do
[00:15:37] everything. for well-being, we feel the impact not
[00:15:40] only on residents, but also on our caregivers, who sometimes sneak
[00:15:44] away for two minutes to give some cuddles and then return to
[00:15:47] work, and as in any family, here too there are
[00:15:50] relationships of greater complicity, but in the
[00:15:54] less good moments Kit and Cat are always there
[00:15:58] for everyone, they also end up choosing their
[00:16:01] preferred residents, they end up choosing the bed they want and
[00:16:05] create a closer relationship there.
[00:16:08] those moments when we notice that sometimes there is a user who stays more in
[00:16:11] bed and they choose to keep him company, the
[00:16:15] nursing home also wants to adopt a senior dog to promote
[00:16:18] the mobility of the residents, but until
[00:16:21] then Ms. Emília's lap seems
[00:16:24] reserved.
[00:16:27] Azorean sports clubs will now play a more active role in
[00:16:30] promoting the mental health of young athletes. In November,
[00:16:34] training actions for the lighthouses program will begin in...
[00:16:41] It is a training aimed at coaches, managers
[00:16:45] and health technicians in sports clubs. The
[00:16:49] objective is to start with the youngest categories, infants
[00:16:52] and beginners, who represent almost
[00:16:55] 24% of the more than 18,000 federated
[00:16:59] athletes. The coach or manager of this category is often
[00:17:02] the element who also has this space of proximity, if we
[00:17:06] give them the tools to know
[00:17:08] how to observe, we return to the issue of identification, we can start
[00:17:12] here in sports to make the
[00:17:15] first identification of the first signs of concern, learning to
[00:17:18] identify, communicate, guide and if
[00:17:22] necessary refer, making
[00:17:25] managers, technicians, in all modalities,
[00:17:29] true emotional lighthouses, but an intervention through
[00:17:32] the way I communicate, how I support, how
[00:17:35] I also take care... how I can often
[00:17:39] interconnect with family and be a point of repair,
[00:17:43] then yes, make that referral for a health
[00:17:46] response that in this first phase will be through school
[00:17:50] health teams. The program starts in November,
[00:17:53] eight trainings, one per month, on all islands,
[00:17:57] also in digital format, the sports movement with an
[00:18:00] active role in promoting the emotional
[00:18:03] health of young Azoreans. It is from this
[00:18:06] principle that... the emotional lighthouses in sports
[00:18:09] program is born, a project of this nature will only make
[00:18:13] true sense if it has the involvement of those who are
[00:18:17] daily on the ground and who know better than anyone the
[00:18:20] reality of our clubs and our athletes, and it is that love that
[00:18:24] we want that is daily
[00:18:26] in the relationship that you have that
[00:18:30] gives you a truly privileged role
[00:18:34] for us to be able to work on the management of
[00:18:37] emotions, the issue of mental health also in a
[00:18:40] different way, this training is certified by
[00:18:44] IPDJ with credit attribution and
[00:18:48] starts with a motto that no young person faces
[00:18:51] emotional suffering
[00:18:53] alone. the University of the Azores is
[00:18:57] available to assess the possibility of taking over the regional
[00:19:00] government's research vessels. This guarantee is
[00:19:03] given by the regional secretary of the Sea. Mário Ruipinho admits that
[00:19:07] the government still has no solution regarding the future of the
[00:19:11] 10 crew members, after having already considered the possibility of a
[00:19:14] collective dismissal.
[00:19:17] From the meeting, where we were not allowed to collect images,
[00:19:21] the future of the 10 crew members of the region's research
[00:19:25] vessels, the Aguas Vivas launch and the Archipelago
[00:19:28] vessel, was discussed. At stake is the arrival of the new
[00:19:31] vessel, which means that these two vessels and
[00:19:35] crew members may be.
[00:19:38] The responsibility is now with the University of the
[00:19:42] Azores, says the regional secretary of the Sea and Fisheries. The
[00:19:45] university, in an internal assessment
[00:19:48] and shows itself available
[00:19:51] to or shows interest in evaluating the possibility
[00:19:55] of keeping the vessels and therefore that is what we are doing, we are trying to work, trying to reach an
[00:19:58] agreement to see under what conditions
[00:20:02] that can happen. On the other hand,
[00:20:05] the fate of the crew members remains an
[00:20:08] unknown, they are employees of Imar, aren't they,
[00:20:11] Imar is the one who hired these people under the conditions
[00:20:15] it wanted as an institution with
[00:20:18] with eh financial and administrative autonomy
[00:20:22] eh, but of course the government is concerned, especially the
[00:20:26] government is concerned that our
[00:20:29] university has an interest in
[00:20:32] maintaining the infrastructures to work and try to
[00:20:36] collaborate with them. in that sense, if there is no solution, we
[00:20:40] also have to be serious that if there is no solution
[00:20:44] we cannot be here
[00:20:46] eh wanting eh not
[00:20:50] being direct with people, saying what will happen if we don't have a solution? asked if
[00:20:53] these 10 crew members could have
[00:20:57] been trained at the Azores Maritime School, since many
[00:21:00] knew about the arrival of the new vessel, enabling them to
[00:21:04] operate it, Mário Rui
[00:21:08] the academy. Let's say that the Ador Zosan should
[00:21:12] have the fishing capabilities that the Archipelago
[00:21:16] research vessel had, eh, it was a consequence.
[00:21:20] also of this meeting is to ask science to
[00:21:23] inform us scientifically how
[00:21:27] we should evolve in that matter? we
[00:21:30] need, we are in a transition period, we have a new ship, we have an old
[00:21:34] ship and in terms of research programs in the area of
[00:21:38] fishing, what should we do? how should we scientifically, what
[00:21:42] is proposed and how should we evolve? for now, the
[00:21:46] onus passes to the Azorean academy, it is certain
[00:21:49] that... more meetings are scheduled to
[00:21:52] solve this problem.
[00:21:56] Most of the country's prisons do not comply
[00:21:59] with the human rights of inmates, but also of prison guards. This
[00:22:03] alert comes from the president of the Portuguese Judges' Union Association
[00:22:07] who advocates for more investment in the prison
[00:22:09] system.
[00:22:13] Being deprived of liberty is serving a sentence,
[00:22:17] it does not mean losing human rights. but that is what
[00:22:20] happens in many prisons in the country, says the
[00:22:24] president of the Portuguese Judges' Union
[00:22:27] Association. After two days debating human
[00:22:30] rights in prisons, the diagnosis is not
[00:22:33] positive. It is not a very good diagnosis, even today
[00:22:37] we had here in fact a perspective of some prisons that meet the
[00:22:41] minimums, let's say, but the overwhelming majority of prisons are not
[00:22:44] fully complying with the human rights of
[00:22:48] inmates, nor... we are not just talking about inmates, we are talking about
[00:22:51] inmates, we are talking about prison guards, we are talking about all the other technicians
[00:22:55] who revolve around prisons, and the problems are many,
[00:22:58] whether of overcrowding, whether of lack of occupation,
[00:23:02] because prisoners are in
[00:23:06] occupation, because there are not enough technicians nor enough prison
[00:23:09] guards to accompany them. failures that
[00:23:13] persist, he says that it is necessary to promote
[00:23:16] changes in the prison system. are years and years
[00:23:20] of underinvestment, of lack of public investment, that's what we're talking
[00:23:23] about, we are witnessing a state of degradation that to
[00:23:27] get out of that state is not easy, it requires a lot of investment
[00:23:30] then it is also necessary to change the perspective,
[00:23:33] prisons are not a deposit of
[00:23:36] people, right? no, a person when they have a
[00:23:39] sentence, they have to serve it and that sentence execution has to
[00:23:43] be taken seriously and with minimum conditions. necessary
[00:23:47] changes to enforce the law. in future
[00:23:51] perspectives, artificial intelligence can be
[00:23:54] included. Many decisions that exist daily in courts, courts and
[00:23:58] also prisons can be carried out through
[00:24:01] artificial intelligence tools, but then artificial intelligence, the big
[00:24:05] challenge is what, it's control, an appeal was made here that it's the courts
[00:24:09] that in the end will have to casuistically, case
[00:24:13] by case, have to make an assessment of those cases that
[00:24:16] indeed raise doubts about the application of artificial intelligence.
[00:24:20] from prisons to a dignified future, guaranteeing
[00:24:24] the rights of those imprisoned is a challenge for
[00:24:27] institutions and for society.
[00:24:31] The government wants to create an Azorean descendant card to give immigrant
[00:24:34] communities the same rights as residents in the
[00:24:37] Azores. The announcement was made at the General Assembly of the World Council
[00:24:41] of Azorean Houses in
[00:24:43] Uruguay.
[00:24:45] It's a historic day, not only for Uruguay, which hosts the Assembly
[00:24:49] for the first time, but also for the World Council, which gathers the
[00:24:52] largest number of Azorean houses ever, there are
[00:24:56] 23, a network that currently represents about
[00:25:00] 5 million people, a very large
[00:25:03] cultural community and with increasingly
[00:25:06] close ties, moreover, we already have foreign
[00:25:09] entities asking us and looking at the case of the Azores as an
[00:25:13] absolutely exemplary case of proximity of the region's own government
[00:25:16] bodies, of the government and of the parliament with...
[00:25:29] the circumstances, I don't know if we'll make it, because for us to receive
[00:25:32] all the authorities who came and the
[00:25:36] local ones too who had never come to see our headquarters, it was also a
[00:25:40] great event. well, we have been linked to
[00:25:44] Azores for years and it has gone very well. the president of the
[00:25:48] legislative assembly participates for the first time in this forum,
[00:25:51] Luís Garcia wants a parliament closer to the Azoreans who
[00:25:55] are overseas he leaves a challenge,
[00:25:59] we also want to take the opportunity to strengthen
[00:26:02] the connection through other areas, for example, the economy
[00:26:06] and bringing closer new
[00:26:08] generations, that is fundamental so that this also has
[00:26:12] a future. The communities Azoreans are one of the region's
[00:26:15] most valuable assets, emphasizes Luís Garcia, who
[00:26:19] advocates for a reflection on the presence of the diaspora in the Legislative
[00:26:22] Assembly so that when
[00:26:26] we look and say that our parliament represents all Azoreans,
[00:26:29] it can represent them. magnitude
[00:26:32] and that we can discuss that
[00:26:36] dimension of our Azorean identity there, which is sometimes
[00:26:39] missing from our parliament, and one of the issues that interests the
[00:26:42] diaspora is the Azorean descendant card, which
[00:26:46] should be voted on in parliament this month. It will
[00:26:50] grant them a set of advantages
[00:26:53] in the Azores, namely, they will have in some areas the same rights as
[00:26:57] Azoreans and resident Azoreans. This
[00:27:00] idea of belonging to the Azorean community allows us to later have
[00:27:04] a projection, both from a cultural point of view and from an economic
[00:27:08] point of view. The first panel of interventions focused on
[00:27:12] the historical relations between Uruguay and Rio Grande do Sul,
[00:27:16] but the city of São Carlos is these days the
[00:27:19] home of all Azoreans. João Simas
[00:27:22] and Rui Machado, RTP covered the 28th General
[00:27:26] Assembly of the World Council of Azorean
[00:27:28] Houses. Chega met with... more
[00:27:32] workers from the Lajes base on Terceira. The party guarantees that
[00:27:36] it will vote favorably in the Assembly of the Republic on the
[00:27:39] proposal already announced by the Left Bloc to reverse the cuts
[00:27:43] in pensions.
[00:27:46] It is an issue that Chega has already taken to the Assembly of the Republic and
[00:27:50] remains willing to vote alongside
[00:27:54] any party to restore the cut in pensions of
[00:27:57] former workers of the Lajes base. If the Left Bloc, the Communist
[00:28:01] Party, or... any other that
[00:28:04] politically we identify with, but has a
[00:28:06] policy that is useful for the region, in this case to solve a concrete problem, we
[00:28:10] will vote in favor. We challenge the PS and
[00:28:13] PSD to at least vote in favor for
[00:28:16] the approval of this repositioning of the sustainability
[00:28:19] factor, which was a robbery to workers. If the state thinks it cannot
[00:28:23] pay 7 million euros, 7.8 million, I believe,
[00:28:26] let it pay in installments, let it pay over several years, but let it pay what it owes
[00:28:30] to the workers of the American base. that Chega does not
[00:28:33] want to see politicized, also regarding the
[00:28:36] soil and aquifer decontamination process of the
[00:28:40] island of Terceira, the party criticizes the commission that
[00:28:44] will monitor the issue, which was proposed by the Left Bloc
[00:28:47] and approved in the regional assembly, also with the favorable
[00:28:50] vote of Chega, and we want to remove this
[00:28:54] issue from politicians and political opportunism in the commission that
[00:28:58] was created, which excluded Chega, which was proposed by the Left
[00:29:01] Bloc that understands. Chega is a party, perhaps democratic, I don't know what it understands, we were
[00:29:05] excluded and now we are also here with some worrying
[00:29:09] indicators, people who are called there who do it out of
[00:29:12] science, so we have to be attentive if what
[00:29:16] results from that has a practical utility, an issue that Chega says
[00:29:19] is not only environmental, it is also
[00:29:23] public health, and it is important on the island of
[00:29:26] Terceira that people who have this identified risk have
[00:29:29] priority in treatments in the national system.
[00:29:34] Issues that the Chega deputies analyzed in a
[00:29:37] meeting in Angra do Heroísmo with the workers of the
[00:29:41] Lajes base.
[00:29:44] IPMA issued a yellow warning for the western group between
[00:29:47] 3 PM and 8 PM tomorrow, due to sometimes
[00:29:51] heavy precipitation, which may be accompanied by
[00:29:53] thunderstorms.
[00:29:56] The Atlantic news ends here, thank you for being
[00:29:59] there, stay well.
[00:30:24] The demonstration against the cost of living in the country was not very well attended in Madeira.
[00:30:28] país.
[00:30:33] Cristiano Ronaldo is officially suspended by the Portuguese Football
[00:30:36] Federation.
[00:30:43] Higher education scholarships are delayed.
[00:31:02] Welcome to Atlantic News. In Madeira, few
[00:31:05] participated in the demonstration about the cost of living in the archipelago.
[00:31:09] The protest took place this Saturday in several cities across the country. In
[00:31:12] Funchal, protesters shouted slogans.
[00:32:15] people have a great difficulty in coming out and asserting their
[00:32:19] rights, I think there is a bit of this mentality that things are
[00:32:22] like this, what can you do, it is what it is, but
[00:32:25] it is not what it is, we can do something, April 25th should
[00:32:29] always remind us of that, a person's salary
[00:32:32] is not enough to rent a house, the cost of living is really
[00:32:36] like this, a democratic society wants a human society and at this moment there is a great
[00:32:40] lack of humanity in our democratic cities and Madeira.
[00:32:44] needs to start rebelling, demonstrating and taking to the
[00:32:48] streets to show its dissatisfaction not only
[00:32:52] in sidewalk conversations, we are here to demonstrate that
[00:32:55] we really want them to think more about people as human
[00:32:58] beings. In the protest, several posters were displayed
[00:33:01] about the high price of rents,
[00:33:05] houses and about supermarket purchases that,
[00:33:08] according to protesters, consume
[00:33:11] family salaries. No
[00:33:15] surgeries were canceled yesterday due to the strike of senior diagnostic and
[00:33:18] therapeutic technicians. The Regional Health Service guaranteed
[00:33:22] RTP that all scheduled surgeries were
[00:33:25] performed, as well as necessary exams and care
[00:33:28] activity. Even so, adherence to the national strike
[00:33:32] had an estimated
[00:33:34] 77% in the region's health service and
[00:33:38] conditioned exams, analyses, and therapeutic interventions. A
[00:33:42] meeting between Cesarame and the
[00:33:45] October 19th.
[00:33:48] Cristiano Ronaldo is suspended from the national team. The Disciplinary
[00:33:52] Council of the Portuguese Football Federation initiated disciplinary
[00:33:55] proceedings against the player, following what happened during the national team's training camp
[00:33:59] in Copenhagen. The Federation assigned urgent
[00:34:02] nature to the process that will now proceed to instruction. The
[00:34:06] process is subject to confidentiality until the end of that
[00:35:39] is delayed. Currently, only 429 students from the
[00:35:43] University of Madeira have confirmed
[00:35:45] social action support. However, more than
[00:35:48] 1,400 applications have already been submitted.
[00:35:52] More than a month after the start of classes at the University of Madeira,
[00:35:56] many students are still waiting for a scholarship. For now,
[00:36:00] only 429 students
[00:36:03] receive support. At this time last year, we would have much,
[00:36:07] much higher numbers, they grow until
[00:36:10] December. Eh, and, therefore, at this stage, we understand that things
[00:36:13] are still a little behind. and that makes us a little worried, for
[00:36:17] example, we have 1477
[00:36:19] candidates, eh, which is also a little below last
[00:36:23] year, which also worries us a little if students really
[00:36:27] know about this possibility
[00:36:31] rectorship, the delay is due to the Directorate-General for Higher
[00:36:34] Education, which is the entity that awards the scholarships. There are
[00:36:38] integrations, then, for example, the verification of family income with the
[00:36:41] tax authority, among others, and these processes are a little
[00:36:45] behind for them to have these confirmations to define the correct
[00:36:48] amount of the scholarship. Currently, the total value of scholarships
[00:36:51] awarded at the University of Madeira is around
[00:36:55] €70,000 per month. talking about
[00:36:58] scholarships averaging around €160
[00:37:01] per student, and it is clear that it ranges from lower
[00:37:04] values of 85 up to €300. In the last
[00:37:08] academic year, the University of Madeira had about 1,500
[00:37:12] scholarship holders, which represents 36% of the
[00:37:15] students at the institution.
[00:37:18] The celebrations of the centenary of the
[00:37:22] Madeira by the signing of a pact against domestic
[00:37:25] violence. For the first time, jurists and the Commission
[00:37:29] for Citizenship and Gender Equality are together in the fight against
[00:37:32] this social problem. The president of the Bar Association, the Deputy Secretary
[00:37:35] of State for Youth and Equality, highlight the
[00:37:38] importance of this pact in supporting victims of domestic
[00:37:42] violence. The signing of this pact against
[00:37:46] domestic violence with the Commission for Citizenship and Gender
[00:37:50] Equality represents something unprecedented for lawyers. And
[00:37:53] it happened in Madeira during the celebrations of the centenary
[00:37:56] of the Bar Association. It has existed for
[00:37:59] some years that the Order never signed, who knows
[00:38:02] why, the Bar Association will be part of the support network
[00:38:06] for victims of domestic violence that was created by the government
[00:38:10] and will begin to have specific actions in
[00:38:13] partnership with the government and with the CIG regarding the matter of
[00:38:17] combating domestic violence, training lawyers
[00:38:20] to deal with these situations, creating specific
[00:38:24] training courses for this, a historic moment that we will... experience
[00:38:27] today here in Madeira, as you know, one of the great commitments of the
[00:38:31] Portuguese government is the fight against this scourge of domestic violence
[00:38:35] and we are doing it on several fronts, in fact, yesterday the
[00:38:39] state budget was approved, the state budget for
[00:38:42] 2027 was presented, which has a significant reinforcement in
[00:38:46] investment in support for victims of domestic violence and this pact
[00:38:49] is part of it, it is a pact against violence. At the centenary
[00:38:53] of this Order, the president highlights the main
[00:38:56] challenges. of the class, to restore the place of advocacy
[00:39:00] and to provide dignified conditions for the exercise of
[00:39:05] dignity of someone who has just finished or is
[00:39:08] sick having to go perform an act because the Court did not grant
[00:39:11] a just impediment, did not allow the postponement, there is no dignity
[00:39:15] in that case. I think that our great struggle
[00:39:18] is, first, the image of advocacy must be improved
[00:39:21] and must be improved before civil society,
[00:39:25] being present in the great struggles
[00:39:28] of society, positioning advocacy before artificial
[00:39:31] intelligence and improving, continuing to improve the relationship with
[00:39:35] political power so that finally there is a different
[00:39:39] view of advocacy than what it has
[00:39:42] opening of this commemorative session, the representative of the
[00:39:45] republic, Judge
[00:39:48] Paulo, former president of the Madeira
[00:39:51] district court, addressed only a word to the lawyers of
[00:39:55] Madeira. much of what... as a judge,
[00:39:58] I owe to the Madeiran lawyers, with whom
[00:40:01] I worked, from whom I learned a lot, both in
[00:40:04] law and through the qualities they had, and which I
[00:40:08] enunciated above, we talked a lot, it was normal
[00:40:11] to have lunch when going to other courts outside
[00:40:14] Funchal, there was and there is friendship
[00:40:17] and respect, we were and are college colleagues,
[00:40:21] we grew together as professionals and as
[00:40:23] people, some and others in thoughts.
[00:40:27] thoughts on the administration of justice, which is not
[00:40:31] ours, but exercised in the name of the
[00:40:34] people, the celebrations of the centenary of the Bar Association
[00:40:37] have covered the country, including the autonomous
[00:40:40] regions, the then district council was created in
[00:40:43] 1980.
[00:40:46] The price of fuels will decrease next week in Madeira. Gasoline
[00:40:50] drops, 95 gasoline drops 1.8
[00:40:53] cents, now costing €2 per liter. Diesel is lower.
[00:40:59] will cost 2.9 cents, the colored
[00:41:02] marked diesel also drops 2.8 to cost
[00:41:06] €1.64 per liter. The new prices
[00:41:09] come into effect from midnight next
[00:41:12] Monday.
[00:41:16] China will halve hybrid and plug-in
[00:41:20] vehicle exports to the European Union over the next few years. In
[00:41:24] return, European products will enter the Chinese market. It was
[00:41:27] negotiated in Brussels, the European Commission wants to balance the
[00:41:31] trade deficit with Beijing, which already exceeds
[00:41:34] millions of euros per day.
[00:41:37] It's a sigh of relief coming from...
[00:42:19] Tariffs already applied to electric cars, now China will
[00:42:22] gradually reduce car exports to Europe by about
[00:42:26] half over 4 years. The number of Chinese cars on
[00:42:29] European roads has already reached a record number and, not surprisingly,
[00:42:33] since 2019, imports of Chinese vehicles
[00:42:37] have grown 1591%.
[00:42:40] Meanwhile, sales of European cars to China have dropped more than
[00:42:43] 22%. The Portuguese Automobile Association views the agreement favorably
[00:42:47] and does not foresee any impact on Portuguese
[00:42:50] factories. It had already been discussed some time ago because electric cars are already
[00:42:53] covered by taxes defined by the European Union
[00:42:57] and, therefore, it was not happening with hybrids and there will be
[00:43:00] what is called a self-limitation by
[00:43:03] China, but the agreement is not concluded, that is what the European Commissioner
[00:43:06] referred to, naturally it has counterparts, it also allows
[00:43:10] a facilitation of the import by Europe of Chinese rare earths that
[00:43:14] are fundamental for the production of batteries, the automotive
[00:43:17] sector is a drop in the bucket, for every euro of sales to China
[00:43:21] Europe buys almost €3. Brussels speaks of a trade
[00:43:25] deficit that exceeds millions of euros per
[00:43:28] day. In 10 years, European exports to China even
[00:43:31] grew by around 37%, but they
[00:43:34] did not even come close to Chinese imports, which in the same
[00:43:37] period almost doubled. Negotiations
[00:43:40] between Brussels and Beijing do not stop
[00:43:43] here.
[00:43:49] But only a first step in the process of rebalancing. As
[00:43:52] president has said, dialogue needs
[00:43:56] results.
[00:44:04] A warning given by Brussels, which will meet again with its Chinese counterparts in January
[00:44:07] next year. The foreign community in Madeira increased
[00:44:11] by 10% in the last year, compared to
[00:44:14] 2024. Venezuela is the most representative
[00:44:17] community, followed by Brazil and
[00:44:20] Nepal. Job offer is one of the destination's
[00:44:24] attractions, but the recognition of professional qualifications is
[00:44:27] one of the problems. The issue was debated last night on the program
[00:44:31] Madeira in Numbers.
[00:44:34] We need to start addressing the hindrance of the recognition
[00:44:38] of qualifications.
[00:44:40] "I understand that there are rules in Portugal, I understand that there are European rules, but
[00:44:43] there should be, for example, specific protocols for
[00:44:47] specific areas, and Portugal is a country that increasingly
[00:44:50] needs, due to aging, it needs
[00:44:53] controlled migration, and what is better, for
[00:44:57] example, than controlled migration, but also linked to the
[00:45:00] Portuguese community, we have at statistical levels
[00:45:03] basically almost half a million Madeirans in Venezuela, that
[00:45:07] is, a way to attract this population."
[00:45:10] to Madeira so that there is an exchange of investments and at the same time
[00:45:14] investment per population, but also that their qualifications are
[00:45:18] recognized. I am a civil engineer, I worked
[00:45:21] as a construction director in Pakistan, when I arrived here I didn't
[00:45:25] have equivalence, I didn't have the Order's card,
[00:45:29] it's a very big, very complex
[00:45:32] process to get the Order's card, then
[00:45:36] I worked as a servant.
[00:45:40] Combining fruit trees, vegetables and forest species in the same
[00:45:43] space is the aim of a training course that shows how
[00:45:46] agroforestry can bring new life to Madeira's
[00:45:49] land.
[00:45:52] The objective is to learn how to better utilize small
[00:45:57] Madeira, instead of cultivating only one species,
[00:46:01] several are combined in the same space. I work
[00:46:04] with agroforestry systems,
[00:46:07] right? which is a way of... doing
[00:46:10] agriculture in which we make a
[00:46:13] union between productive systems, agricultural
[00:46:16] plants with forest
[00:46:20] plants, with trees, so it's a union, a
[00:46:23] joining of production systems,
[00:46:26] agriculture with forestry, so
[00:46:29] agroforestry, right? And here in the region, how
[00:46:33] can we apply this technique to our soils? Ah,
[00:46:37] these soils here are among the best soils in Europe. The place I've seen
[00:46:41] so far
[00:46:44] is that things grow fast here, we are already in a practically
[00:46:48] tropical, subtropical tropical place, so
[00:46:51] we have mango, avocado, banana, right?
[00:46:55] Imagine you have a place in Europe that has banana, so here we have
[00:46:57] that, right? The training went through several locations,
[00:47:01] from Jardim da Serra to Funchal, to show that the
[00:47:05] solutions must be adapted to each terrain,
[00:47:08] altitude and climate. here we are now
[00:47:11] starting a work from scratch, right? which in a
[00:47:15] month will already be producing, for example, vegetables like
[00:47:19] radish, arugula, right, lettuce.
[00:47:23] in 45 days we will already have lettuce here, so while we are
[00:47:26] waiting for our guava, our mango to grow, we are
[00:47:30] harvesting annual plants, productive plants
[00:47:33] and this generates income,
[00:47:36] food security, quality of life, right?
[00:47:40] In addition to the products being organic. The
[00:47:43] initiative came from the municipality of Câmara de Lobos, which wants to understand
[00:47:47] how this technique can be applied in agricultural
[00:47:50] land, forest areas and even in urban areas, as the spaces
[00:47:54] here in Madeira are also small, the plots
[00:47:57] and properties tend to be smaller, what we are trying to
[00:48:00] learn is to
[00:48:03] plant in intercropping, that's what João Pereira is here to help us with, trying to understand how
[00:48:07] plants relate, what their strata are, some that need
[00:48:11] more sun, others that can be next to it, giving the
[00:48:14] example of avocado and coffee and
[00:48:17] bananas together that can be very close together and have their
[00:48:20] own times and can... be in the same place, instead of just avocado
[00:48:24] every four meters with nothing in between and, while the plants are
[00:48:28] growing we can also take advantage and plant the vegetable garden, near them when they are
[00:48:32] small, we will have profitability. The training gathered
[00:48:35] technicians, students, agricultural engineers and
[00:48:38] farmers. The idea is that knowledge should be
[00:48:41] accessible to different
[00:55:03] country or around the world, you know. You can watch the news from the Madeira Assistants
[00:55:06] every day here on RDP. See you tomorrow.
