[00:00:15] Pope Leo 14 revealed that he has a lung tumor and will undergo surgery in the
[00:00:19] coming days. The news that the
[00:00:22] Pope himself would make the announcement caused surprise
[00:00:25] and praise for
[00:00:26] transparency.
[00:00:30] Riyadh airport was again attacked after yesterday's
[00:00:33] offensive killed 13 people and injured another
[00:00:36] 300. The Houthis have already claimed responsibility and Saudi
[00:00:40] Arabia announced a large-scale military operation against the
[00:00:45] Africa and Djibouti to rebels. Donald Trump announced a
[00:00:49] ceasefire in energy infrastructure. The 60-day
[00:00:52] truce between Ukraine and Russia
[00:00:55] surprised the Ukrainian
[00:00:56] president.
[00:01:01] Drug trafficking networks are heading to the
[00:01:05] artificial intelligence. The Algarve. They are even in houses to watch the police.
[00:01:28] begins a second term. He warns that the Very good evening. The Pope will undergo
[00:01:32] surgery to remove a lung nodule. The head of the
[00:01:35] Catholic Church himself announced the situation this morning in
[00:01:39] St. Peter's Square. The nodule was detected in routine
[00:01:42] exams and is circumscribed.
[00:01:46] It was from the window of the Apostolic Palace that Pope Leo
[00:01:50] XIV gave the
[00:01:51] news.
[00:01:54] Recently, during some check-ups, the
[00:01:57] doctors found a nodule. circumscribed
[00:02:01] to the lung. It was detected at a very
[00:02:05] early stage and is well localized. Leo
[00:02:08] 14 is 71 years old and will undergo surgery in the coming days, and the
[00:02:12] expected post-operative hospital stay is about a
[00:02:15] week. The intervention will take place in the same hospital that received
[00:02:19] Popes John Paul II and Francis in the past during
[00:02:23] several hospitalizations. The doctors consider
[00:02:26] it appropriate to intervene
[00:02:27] from October 12th to 18th and so according to their
[00:02:31] advice, I decided to have surgery to
[00:02:34] remove it. I thank you for your
[00:02:37] spiritual closeness.
[00:02:46] Holy Father, let's say, it's
[00:02:50] new and all of us have been greatly worried, like a
[00:02:54] close family member. This worries us a lot.
[00:02:57] We hope that everything will go well. It's very sad
[00:03:01] and I hope it's going to be better pretty soon
[00:03:04] because it's only uh a
[00:03:07] little time that is there so
[00:03:10] uh I I hope better for him I think
[00:03:13] in we
[00:03:16] little bag, I want to see your outfit, deserve all to be happy and healthy so yeah that's what I'm that's what I'm
[00:03:20] hoping for yeah we hope the surgery is going to go well for
[00:03:23] him.
[00:03:26] It's news that has shaken everyone a bit because, let's say, one is unprepared.
[00:03:30] It's only been a year since he was elected as the new Pope.
[00:03:33] We wish him, let's say, our biggest
[00:03:36] wishes. Scheduled visit to South America at the
[00:03:39] beginning of November. During this Sunday's prayer, Leo 14
[00:03:43] greeted the Peruvians who were in
[00:03:46] XVI, and his St. Peter's Square and confirmed the visit to the
[00:03:47] country.
[00:03:52] Joining the news is RTP correspondent Rosário Salgueiro. Rosário, good
[00:03:55] evening. What could be the implications in the Vatican of this forced
[00:03:58] absence of the Pope? Leo 14, will it require some
[00:04:02] reorganization?
[00:04:07] The Holy See will not enter a special regime of
[00:04:10] government, eh, because of this hospitalization, at
[00:04:14] least from what we know so
[00:04:17] far. Eh, this hospitalization, this surgery of Pope Leo 14,
[00:04:20] is being viewed by the Vatican with
[00:04:23] great positivity and great hope.
[00:04:27] Being a hospitalization with uh... a surgery and a
[00:04:31] week of recovery, uh the Pope
[00:04:35] does not need to give up
[00:04:37] his place. Another cardinal will, uh, they tell us from the
[00:04:41] Vatican, uh after the recovery, after the
[00:04:44] post-recovery, he will be able, we all
[00:04:48] hope, uh they say from the Vatican, to continue reading documents,
[00:04:52] issuing indications and
[00:04:55] and we immediately recommendations, uh and the positivity is
[00:04:58] such, uh, that is...
[00:05:00] being viewed, this hospitalization
[00:05:02] to leave. There being no space for and this surgery
[00:05:05] that the Vatican insists, saying that the
[00:05:09] trip to South America at the beginning of
[00:05:12] November will remain, and as Ana Raquel said
[00:05:16] at the time of the Angelus, the Pope
[00:05:19] greeted an important group of Peruvians
[00:05:23] who were in St. Peter's Square, saying
[00:05:26] that and thanking them for their prayers because of this
[00:05:30] apostolic journey and saying that he
[00:05:33] will be there in November. Naturally,
[00:05:37] there will be adjustments to the agenda. A mass is
[00:05:40] scheduled for Wednesday. The Vatican has not yet
[00:05:44] canceled it. I asked if
[00:05:47] this mass would continue to exist, if it would be
[00:05:50] presided over by a cardinal or if it would be
[00:05:53] totally canceled, and so far the Vatican
[00:05:57] has not yet communicated what the next step is
[00:06:01] in this week's agenda. But Cristina,
[00:06:04] Pope Leo 14 has his house in order
[00:06:07] and this need for surgery was,
[00:06:10] they say, two
[00:06:13] different things. It was detected in diagnostic exams in a context
[00:06:17] of infection after the trip here to
[00:06:20] France. These diagnostic exams
[00:06:23] in that context of infection that the Pope
[00:06:26] presented, that was when that nodule was detected
[00:06:29] and immediate surgery was recommended.
[00:06:33] Pope Leo 14 put his house in order or on
[00:06:36] Friday he appointed the Filipino
[00:06:40] cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle
[00:06:43] as rector of the College of Cardinals. The rector
[00:06:47] of the College of Cardinals is the one who handles the ceremonial
[00:06:50] and all the organization in case of a conclave. He
[00:06:54] replaced Battista Re, dean of the
[00:06:57] cardinals who announced the election of Pope Leo
[00:07:01] 14, who was 92 years old and was already
[00:07:04] ill. That is, the house is
[00:07:08] organized for the immediate worst-case scenario,
[00:07:12] but it is organized for the future. I naturally remind
[00:07:15] you that Luis Antonio Tagle is a
[00:07:19] Filipino cardinal and was one of the most talked about names to replace
[00:07:22] Pope Francis, more talked about even than
[00:07:25] Robert Prevost, who ended up being elected and
[00:07:28] who we know today as Leo 14. Everything is
[00:07:32] in order in the Vatican, as I said at the beginning, there is a great
[00:07:36] atmosphere of hope, of positivity and Catholics
[00:07:39] are already praying because in the masses this afternoon, prayer
[00:07:43] for the health of Pope Leo XIV was already being requested.
[00:07:46] Thank you, Rosário Salgueira, RDP correspondent,
[00:07:49] with some of the details regarding
[00:07:52] this illness of Pope Leo
[00:07:56] XIV, which we will learn more about. We have with us Paula Alves, coordinator of the
[00:08:00] oncological pulmonology unit of ULE Santa Maria. Doctor, very
[00:08:03] good evening, thank you for coming to the news. What kind of
[00:08:06] lung tumor is this to require immediate surgery?
[00:08:09] Eh, in principle it will be a
[00:08:13] tumor that will have the possibility
[00:08:16] that we, according to what we hear,
[00:08:19] a curative surgery with curative intent,
[00:08:22] why? Because being described as a nodule,
[00:08:26] it will probably be less than 3 cm and
[00:08:30] the fact that it is circumscribed or localized is probably a
[00:08:33] tumor that has not yet spread
[00:08:37] to regional lymph nodes or to the
[00:08:40] bloodstream, and therefore it will not have
[00:08:43] tumors in other organs, so it's not a mass, it's not a mass, it
[00:08:46] won't be a mass, because if it were a mass it would certainly be more than
[00:08:50] 3 cm. We don't know if it's malignant
[00:08:53] or not, exactly. And the
[00:08:56] tumor is only confirmed to be benign
[00:09:00] or malignant eh after a biopsy that is done
[00:09:03] before surgery or after the analysis of the tumor
[00:09:07] after surgery. Eh, however,
[00:09:09] there are certain characteristics that make us... think it is or
[00:09:13] is not a malignant or benign tumor. In this case, in this
[00:09:17] case, eh, what we think
[00:09:21] we don't know, maybe we'll only know after the surgery,
[00:09:24] but most of the tumors that exist in the lung are
[00:09:27] malignant, eh and also
[00:09:31] there are certain characteristics that we don't know
[00:09:34] about the morphology of the tumor that can make us think if it is or is not
[00:09:38] malignant, and on the other hand if the person is a smoker...
[00:09:42] "the probability of it being malignant is much higher because
[00:09:45] most lung tumors are associated with
[00:09:49] tobacco, although there are also
[00:09:52] lung tumors in non-smokers.
[00:09:55] The fact that there was no, at least that we know of,
[00:09:58] therapy preceding
[00:10:01] the operation, the surgery, could mean something, because he didn't have
[00:10:05] chemotherapy or anything, certainly, it could mean that the
[00:10:09] tumor is indeed localized only to the nodule."
[00:10:13] And therefore it did not have extension to the lymphatic
[00:10:15] system nor to the bloodstream, because, for example,
[00:10:19] when there are lymph nodes, we have to do a therapy
[00:10:23] that are positive, meaning that... in a tumor and we will
[00:10:27] have to do a therapy before to try
[00:10:30] to limit the dissemination of tumor cells, and
[00:10:33] therefore, according to the result after that therapy
[00:10:37] beforehand, it will or will not go for surgery, and going for
[00:10:40] surgery, according to the result of the pathological
[00:10:44] anatomy, it will probably have to receive therapy
[00:10:48] after surgery. In this case, we don't know exactly what will happen. In this case, we don't know what will
[00:10:51] happen, but the fact that he didn't receive therapy before... is a
[00:10:55] sign that it probably wasn't needed and therefore the
[00:10:59] tumor is localized. Exactly. And even if it is malignant, a priori it will not
[00:11:02] have chemotherapy, at least it is not known for now. This
[00:11:06] nodule, eh, we can say it was a stroke of luck because it was
[00:11:10] detected in routine exams, isn't it?
[00:11:12] It's not common for a Pope to also reveal his state of
[00:11:16] health in full prayer to
[00:11:18] the faithful. Eh, it ends up being an alert also, eh
[00:11:22] this transparency is an alert for... other people
[00:11:26] to draw attention to the importance of the relevance
[00:11:29] of screenings. Of course, yes. Eh, we, eh, have
[00:11:33] to think seriously about lung cancer
[00:11:36] screening, because eh, lung tumors generally don't
[00:11:40] cause symptoms until they are in an advanced state, eh,
[00:11:44] and therefore, lung cancer screening allows for early
[00:11:47] tumor detection, ah, without metastasis
[00:11:51] and dissemination, and therefore, it can be treated... with
[00:11:55] curative intention, which is the case, which is the case, and
[00:11:58] therefore with less invasive therapies, easier
[00:12:02] recovery, and therefore, with a much better prognosis. And is
[00:12:05] it easy to do screenings in Portugal, for example? No, it's difficult. We
[00:12:08] currently have, eh, a
[00:12:12] pilot project for lung cancer screening in the oncological pulmonology
[00:12:16] unit of ULS Santa Maria,
[00:12:20] eh, for risk groups, but, eh, even in the
[00:12:23] rest of Europe, there was much discussion
[00:12:27] about the risk-benefit ratio because screenings
[00:12:30] are not something that comes
[00:12:33] cheap, right? But then we also have the
[00:12:37] price of the disease, so it's very important here and
[00:12:41] we are coming to the conclusion that, indeed, especially in risk groups,
[00:12:44] eh, lung screening is paramount,
[00:12:47] it reduces the risk of death by about 20%. Just to
[00:12:51] finish very quickly, the recovery.
[00:12:55] Eh, in the Pope's case, it will be fast, will it? If it's
[00:12:58] a surgery for tumors eh in an early
[00:13:02] stage it is usually done by video thoracoscopy
[00:13:05] or by robotic surgery which takes 2 to 6 hours more or less
[00:13:09] and then recovery if the surgery is not
[00:13:12] complicated is uh three to seven to seven
[00:13:16] days uh then the rest of the recovery will be
[00:13:19] done at home and in a few weeks,
[00:13:23] therefore, and
[00:13:33] the announcement of Pope Leo 14 that he has a fear
[00:13:36] is causing reactions. Américo Aguiar
[00:13:39] praises the simplicity of the head of the Catholic Church and
[00:13:43] dozens of faithful wish a speedy recovery to the Holy
[00:13:47] Father.
[00:13:49] A few hours after the announcement of Pope Leo 14,
[00:13:53] wishes for a speedy recovery are accumulating, but above all,
[00:13:56] praise for the attitude of the leader of the Catholic Church. It
[00:14:00] was a simplicity of his that I
[00:14:03] admire in him, that for me, I think
[00:14:07] he has a lot of John Paul II, Benedict
[00:14:11] simplicity made him tell all Christian
[00:14:15] people to pray for him. Such sad
[00:14:18] news for anyone, isn't it? Whoever it is,
[00:14:21] especially a man we really need. Very,
[00:14:25] very, very sad news. I ask
[00:14:28] very much, I will ask everyone, I already ask every day, I will continue to ask very much
[00:14:31] for him, because everyone has their place, but without a doubt, this one captivates many
[00:14:35] people too. I think he will achieve many
[00:14:38] things for the world and for peace. At the inauguration of the new Eucharistic
[00:14:42] Sanctuary of Balazar in Póvoa de Varzim, the
[00:14:46] Vatican representative in Portugal and the Archbishop of Braga were present, who also
[00:14:50] did not forget Leo 14, that
[00:14:53] he told me... that he plans to come
[00:14:56] to Portugal because for him, he spoke in
[00:15:00] Fátima that he will come, he will come
[00:15:04] when it is
[00:15:07] very complex, happy surprise that it was the Pope himself who
[00:15:11] announced this at the end of the Angelus prayer from the
[00:15:14] window. I admired his
[00:15:17] gesture very much
[00:15:20] committed to praying for him. On social media, Cardinal
[00:15:24] Américo Aguiar took the opportunity to
[00:15:27] praise the Holy Father's simplicity and add
[00:15:30] a word of solidarity. It is very important for the days
[00:15:34] we live in that the news was given directly by
[00:15:37] the Pope and with all this transparency, simplicity
[00:15:41] and humanity. We are with the Pope in these days that are certainly
[00:15:45] of some sensitivity, but I am
[00:15:48] convinced that it will be something almost routine. In a statement,
[00:15:51] the Portuguese Episcopal Conference also expressed spiritual
[00:15:55] closeness to the Pope and wished a rapid and
[00:15:58] full recovery to Leo
[00:16:00] 14.
[00:16:03] Riyadh International Airport was once again
[00:16:06] attacked by Houthi rebels from
[00:16:09] Yemen, after another attack yesterday killed
[00:16:13] 13 people and injured 300 others. Moments
[00:16:16] ago, Dammam Airport, in the east of the country, was also
[00:16:20] attacked. Saudi Arabia considers the attacks a war
[00:16:24] crime, and promises to respond. The Iranian-backed Houthis
[00:16:27] warn that Saudi airspace is not
[00:16:30] safe.
[00:16:33] For the second consecutive day, the main airport in Saudi
[00:16:36] Arabia was under attack, but nothing compared
[00:16:40] to what happened Saturday. The airport was
[00:16:43] like this. It was the worst attack in the country in over a decade.
[00:16:47] 13 people died, more than 300 were injured. They are
[00:16:50] of various nationalities. The Saudi Health Minister
[00:16:54] went to
[00:16:54] visit.
[00:17:04] Her father, greetings, greetings, may God grant her good health.
[00:17:18] And all experts, employees, workers
[00:17:21] and travelers from all countries of the world, from
[00:17:25] the trouble of operating flights towards Saudi
[00:17:28] airports, as they are unsafe. What is certain
[00:17:31] is that Saudi authorities classified the incidents at the airport as war
[00:17:35] crimes and that they represent... a new escalation in the conflict that
[00:17:39] has pitted Saudis, supporters of the Yemeni
[00:17:42] government, Houthis, rebel forces from that
[00:17:45] country, supported by
[00:17:47] Iran.
[00:17:54] From the UN Secretary-General to the Arab League, the tone is one of condemnation
[00:17:58] of the attacks. Several European governments are advising their respective
[00:18:02] citizens not to approach Riyadh
[00:18:05] airport. The airport, in any
[00:18:07] case, was closed
[00:18:09] this weekend.
[00:18:14] Drug trafficking networks are settling in the south of
[00:18:17] Portugal, a situation that is causing fear among the population.
[00:18:21] The report on these criminal organizations will be seen soon.
[00:18:25] pouco.
[00:18:31] The Prime Minister calls for an end to the situation that has led to the senseless
[00:18:35] rise in oil prices.
[00:18:38] In São João da Madeira, Luís Montenegro criticized those who want
[00:18:41] to import instability into
[00:18:43] the country.
[00:18:46] It's the end of a particularly intense week. The government submitted the
[00:18:49] budget. The Prime Minister received the US Secretary of State, Marco
[00:18:53] Rubio, in São João da Madeira. He wanted to share that
[00:18:57] among the topics of conversation was the escalation of fuel
[00:19:00] prices. We have to resolve in the coming
[00:19:03] weeks, in the coming times,
[00:19:06] this eh... senselessness of penalizing
[00:19:09] economies and people in general in a way where no one is benefiting
[00:19:13] and to
[00:19:16] resolve this impasse. He took the opportunity to be
[00:19:19] in one of the municipalities that exports the most to return to
[00:19:22] the budget and the defense of the decision to lower corporate tax to
[00:19:26] 18%. There's no point in indulging in demagoguery about
[00:19:29] that, and some say
[00:19:31] that when we lower corporate
[00:19:35] tax, when we lower taxes on businesses, we want
[00:19:39] to give more money to business owners, to
[00:19:43] entrepreneurs, eh, those who are the most
[00:19:46] advantaged in society. That's a very,
[00:19:49] very limited view of
[00:19:53] public policies. He acknowledges that the political moment is difficult
[00:19:57] and blames the international context, but says the country has guaranteed
[00:20:01] economic and financial stability. Some want
[00:20:04] to bring instability, even from a social point of view, into the country. They will not
[00:20:08] achieve that objective either, which is a negative
[00:20:12] objective. It's one thing to talk about problems, it's another to want
[00:20:16] to import instabilities that have no place here. The
[00:20:19] Prime Minister doesn't let go of the image of a growing economy.
[00:20:23] He says he knows that daily life is more difficult for Portuguese people,
[00:20:27] but asks them not to
[00:20:28] weaken.
[00:20:32] The PS is calling for an urgent parliamentary hearing with 16
[00:20:36] entities from the economic and social sectors that are being affected by the
[00:20:40] rise in energy prices. The party wants a diagnosis of the
[00:20:43] different realities and impacts to seek
[00:20:46] possible measures. In the request sent to the parliamentary committee for
[00:20:50] environment and energy, the PS explains that these impacts are not evenly
[00:20:54] distributed among the different sectors of the economy and
[00:20:58] society. The business confederation and the
[00:21:01] farmers are some of the entities to
[00:21:03] be heard.
[00:21:07] UGT wants dignified wages and pensions. The
[00:21:11] criticisms of the State budget proposal were heard this weekend at the
[00:21:15] congress where the social bodies
[00:21:17] took office. Thank you. This is the last time Lucinda
[00:21:21] Damas presides over the UGT Congress. And it was this
[00:21:24] relationship of trust, of companionship and, above all,
[00:21:28] loyalty that made these 13 years for
[00:21:31] me, perhaps the best 13 years of my life, and I'm not lying. The
[00:21:35] succession was not consensual at first. After Francisco
[00:21:38] Pimentel's name did not gather enough support, Rosa Sousa,
[00:21:42] a union leader and former mayor, was chosen for the
[00:21:44] presidency. She arrives with criticisms of the government and promises to maintain
[00:21:48] the valorization of wages among the priorities. Coming from the
[00:21:51] public administration, I understand that
[00:21:54] having 40 cents per kilometer
[00:21:57] at the price of gasoline is paying to work. We have
[00:22:01] had many difficult negotiations
[00:22:05] in public administration, but we have always found
[00:22:09] a common ground, and that will be our logic. In executive
[00:22:12] leadership, there is no change. Mário Mourão was re-elected secretary-general and
[00:22:18] dignity of wages,
[00:22:50] minimum wage was this, and the government remains
[00:22:53] insensitive to this challenge and this demand. The
[00:22:56] demands that marked the congress also echoed outside the venue. Bank
[00:23:00] workers demonstrated against the proposed salary increase of
[00:23:03] 2%. They held 5 minutes of silence to mark the
[00:23:06] lost purchasing power. The increases in the food basket or
[00:23:10] what are fuel prices, the value of
[00:23:13] rents, it's not with a 2% increase. We consider a
[00:23:16] fair value to restore that purchasing power. We feel that we are falling
[00:23:20] behind because it is a sector that cannot complain about productivity, naturally.
[00:23:24] The unions promise to continue pressuring the banks in the coming
[00:23:27] weeks. The protest culminates on November 30th with a
[00:23:30] national
[00:23:32] strike.
[00:23:36] The Finance Minister says it would be inexplicable to return to a budget
[00:23:40] deficit if Chega and the Socialist Party
[00:23:44] approve measures in the budget. He responds to Mário
[00:23:47] Centeno's calculations, who speaks of competing.
[00:23:52] In the management of public accounts, the former minister does not reject a return to
[00:23:55] politics. It is not unprecedented.
[00:23:58] Minister and former minister disagree on the accounts. One
[00:24:02] took the country out of chronic deficits and accuses the current one of leading
[00:24:05] it back into negative territory. Of the budget
[00:24:09] presented and initially viable,
[00:24:12] Miranda Sarmento downplays Centeno's calculations, who
[00:24:15] says, he rushed.
[00:24:18] It would be inexplicable and again. It would be irresponsible that after a very
[00:24:22] difficult year 26, it was possible
[00:24:25] to maintain the balance of public accounts, even against many
[00:24:29] predictions and forecasts, that now in 2027, due to negative
[00:24:33] coalitions of the PS and Chega, the country would be thrown into a budget
[00:24:36] deficit. This is not about the devil, these are pure and
[00:24:39] simple errors, these are errors in the conduct of policy, there is no devil
[00:24:43] here, it is just incompetence in a way
[00:24:46] in the way budgets are then put into
[00:24:50] execution. Can we after such a deviation,
[00:24:53] have some credibility regarding what was
[00:24:56] presented to us for the 2027 account? I have
[00:24:59] doubts because I don't know exactly where
[00:25:03] public spending will actually end up. I believe it was a bit of a
[00:25:06] rush, there is no problem in the net
[00:25:10] expenditure, nor any problem in the control account
[00:25:13] and whoever presents other values has to explain where
[00:25:17] those values come from. The current Finance Minister does not
[00:25:20] directly refer to the former Governor of the Bank of Portugal, whose predictions,
[00:25:24] when he still held the position, never sat well with the current
[00:25:27] government. Now, without institutional ties,
[00:25:31] Centeno does not spare criticism and questioned, once again, about a
[00:25:35] possible return to politics, he sees no
[00:25:38] point in saying never. Never
[00:25:41] is zero. Zero is the absorbing
[00:25:44] element of multiplication. Zero ends everything
[00:25:48] that is our learning. If we set a zero
[00:25:51] in our lives, we don't get out of
[00:25:54] there, and that's why "never" makes no
[00:25:58] sense to me, which doesn't mean it's probable,
[00:26:02] nor that it's easy, which also doesn't mean that
[00:26:06] it's completely out of
[00:26:08] the question.
[00:26:11] The Algarve is on the route of drug
[00:26:14] traffickers. It is a supply point for speedboats,
[00:26:18] but also a gateway for drugs into Europe. There are networks
[00:26:21] that rent houses on the Algarve coast to
[00:26:25] monitor the movements of the
[00:26:27] police.
[00:26:29] It's not new, but it's gaining more and more strength
[00:26:32] in Portugal. The Algarve coast is part of the transit route.
[00:26:36] of logistical support to drug trafficking networks, the
[00:26:40] networks are passing, let's say, along the Algarve coast, the maritime
[00:26:43] routes, and this also implies that there must be logistical support
[00:26:47] on land, namely fuel to supply the boats. In addition to this logistical
[00:26:51] support for fuel, there are other supports that are also established on land. There are
[00:26:55] large trafficking networks, namely with origin in
[00:26:58] Spain. The positioning of the Algarve in Europe is a factor that
[00:27:01] further... the drug traffickers, the Algarve and Portugal have a
[00:27:04] strategic position in Europe. Therefore, it is here, if we look at
[00:27:08] Portugal, it is a tip of Europe, an entrance gate to
[00:27:12] Europe. Therefore, we have a privileged
[00:27:15] situation, a privileged location in relation to
[00:27:18] Europe, with the correlation with the Atlantic, along
[00:27:21] the Vicentina coast, where the maritime police, and the GNR,
[00:27:25] have detected some networks that
[00:27:29] rent or lease local accommodation for this type of activity.
[00:27:32] These cases extend throughout the Algarve. The populations are
[00:27:36] increasingly attentive and concerned. This is the case
[00:27:39] of residents on Farol Island in Faro, who suspect
[00:27:43] illicit use of this old building. The
[00:27:46] authorities recognize the potential interest of the property, but
[00:27:50] for now, they rule out that recent, clandestine
[00:27:53] occupations are linked to drug trafficking.
[00:27:56] Even so, it is recognized that the identified networks are
[00:28:00] becoming increasingly dangerous. There was a very important
[00:28:04] transformation here, which was the change from hashish trafficking to
[00:28:07] cocaine trafficking. The amounts are substantially higher, here
[00:28:11] we are talking about 20 or 25 times higher than
[00:28:15] they were a few years ago, and the frequency of many Spanish vehicles has already been
[00:28:18] caught. Weapons of war were also seized. Weapons of
[00:28:21] war were found near
[00:28:24] situations that indicated illegal unloading.
[00:28:28] In recent times, the pace of seizures has increased to
[00:28:31] almost every
[00:28:33] week.
[00:28:37] Epilepsy can be detected by a
[00:28:40] lamppost, a project by a Portuguese company to know about soon.
[00:28:43] pouco.
[00:28:50] Donald Trump announced a ceasefire in the war between Ukraine and
[00:28:55] Russia over energy infrastructure, but the Ukrainian
[00:28:59] president guarantees that he knows nothing about it. The announcement
[00:29:02] by the American president was made hours after Zelensky had said
[00:29:06] that there would be presidential elections if there was a 60-day
[00:29:09] military truce.
[00:29:13] A few hours after Trump said that it was already time for elections in
[00:29:16] Ukraine, the President of the United States announced an
[00:29:20] energy ceasefire with immediate effect, to stop
[00:29:23] attacks like this in the Samara region in Russia, on a
[00:29:27] crucial system for crude oil exports. Trump writes
[00:29:31] that both countries agreed.
[00:30:38] Despite the tension, the American president spoke with Domirski and
[00:30:42] guarantees that he continues to count on the support of the United
[00:30:45] States.
[00:30:47] At least 139 people died, including 15
[00:30:51] children, in the shipwreck of a vessel that was heading to
[00:30:54] Yemen. There are 84 missing. The African Union
[00:30:58] calls for an effective fight against migrant trafficking.
[00:31:04] This is what remains of yet another tragedy at sea. They fled
[00:31:08] insecurity and poverty on a boat trip that did not reach the
[00:31:11] end. In the early hours of Friday,
[00:31:45] loved ones remain without news of their
[00:31:48] family members. According to the United Nations, in
[00:31:51] 2025, there were more than 900 migrants reported
[00:31:55] dead or missing on the eastern route, which connects the Horn of
[00:32:00] Yemen.
[00:32:04] The British Parliament will debate a popular petition for an eventual
[00:32:07] return to the European Union. More than 112 thousand
[00:32:11] signatories argue that Brexit is not working.
[00:32:15] The parliamentary debate is scheduled for tomorrow in the historic hall of parliament. The
[00:32:19] Prime Minister recently stated that the British government will
[00:32:22] analyze all options. The Office
[00:32:25] for Budget Responsibility emphasizes that, due to Brexit,
[00:32:29] the UK's economy and trade have weakened, a situation that
[00:32:32] it says will continue to
[00:32:35] worsen.
[00:32:38] In the United States, the passage of Hurricane Isaias caused
[00:32:42] four deaths, and roads and buildings were affected.
[00:33:19] The situation is now calmer, time to
[00:33:23] assess the damage.
[00:33:39] This gas station and this restaurant, for example,
[00:33:42] were partially destroyed.
[00:34:45] and
[00:34:45] floods.
[00:34:49] A walker that detects epilepsy seizures with the help
[00:34:53] of artificial intelligence. This is the project
[00:34:56] that gave victory to a Portuguese startup in San
[00:34:59] Francisco. The report is by Cândida Pinto and Ricardo
[00:35:02] Guerreiro, RTP, in San Francisco,
[00:35:05] California.
[00:35:09] It is a trademark of San Francisco's electric cars that have been circulating here since the
[00:35:12] 19th century. In the 21st century, they coexist with the top of
[00:35:16] technology that is advancing in the region, the iron structure of
[00:35:19] the city's port. This week is the most important for
[00:35:23] startups, young companies that want to enter the market. We
[00:35:27] brought 10 startups from Portugal that were handpicked
[00:35:30] to have very close contact with several
[00:35:33] investors in seven different events. This market is
[00:35:37] demanding, but above all it knows how to distinguish what are
[00:35:40] growth projects. There are 10 young Portuguese who will
[00:35:44] have minutes each to defend their project in the areas of health,
[00:35:48] tourism, insurance, artificial intelligence. Redbridge is a
[00:35:52] community that seeks to bring together the ecosystems of Lisbon and Silicon
[00:35:55] Valley. It started by welcoming Californians who arrived in Lisbon,
[00:35:59] available to invest, and now wants to do the reverse circuit,
[00:36:03] connecting the cities of the two red bridges. For us, the
[00:36:06] most tangible results would be very much associated with the ability of these
[00:36:10] startups to obtain either funding or really
[00:36:13] close with clients and commercial partners. This is the territory of the big
[00:36:16] tech companies from which the recent controversy about the
[00:36:20] control of artificial intelligence in the highly competitive market
[00:36:24] really is advancing very quickly. I think it's good
[00:36:28] sometimes to stop and think what we want this
[00:36:31] technology to do for us. Artificial intelligence is digital, so any
[00:36:35] region in any country can continue to develop it, and the risks are still
[00:36:39] there. At Stanford University, Ana Filipa Geraldo
[00:36:42] works daily with projects that include artificial
[00:36:46] intelligence. She arrived from Porto, lives in an academic
[00:36:49] environment of multiple awards. The most recent
[00:36:52] happened a few
[00:36:54] days ago.
[00:37:06] In medicine, it will support doctors to have more free
[00:37:09] time to dedicate to research, to provide better care, and ultimately
[00:37:13] exams, reduce waiting lists,
[00:37:16] and perform exams with better quality.
[00:37:20] In the competition room of the Portuguese startups, the
[00:37:24] winner is already known.
[00:37:28] A project in the area of epilepsy using
[00:37:33] LEM device has a video camera and can detect
[00:37:37] movements that may be indicative of seizures, epileptic crises,
[00:37:40] send an automatic call to a parent or caregiver. This can really
[00:37:44] help bring back safety and peace of mind that many families do not have
[00:37:48] at the moment. Creating connections between Lisbon and Silicon Valley
[00:37:51] to give opportunities to Portuguese companies in the Mecca of
[00:37:55] technology. This at a time when... the controversy with artificial
[00:37:59] intelligence has gone beyond technological circles.

[00:38:08] The Paralympic Games are closed to those with
[00:38:12] Down syndrome. Vicente Pereira dreams of participating in that
[00:38:15] competition. In today's special report, we look at the
[00:38:19] case of this Portuguese swimmer who, at 23 years old, has
[00:38:23] 17 world champion titles and 27 European
[00:38:26] titles. 3 2
[00:38:29] 1 go to be
[00:38:32] 17 times world champion is
[00:38:35] incredible, I really like
[00:38:39] being a great swimmer,
[00:38:42] Vicente's biggest dream is the Paralympics. I have
[00:38:46] many doubts that he will be able to go it's not because of his
[00:38:49] effort,
[00:38:51] are you well, so go
[00:38:55] in the opening ceremonies, in the ceremonies of
[00:39:04] The largest international organization that promotes inclusion is
[00:39:08] the first to exclude, if they have the abilities to
[00:39:12] entertain, they also have the abilities to compete.
[00:39:25] Volcanic, Atlantic. From
[00:39:27] home, it is on the island of Tenerife that Vicente Pereira challenges
[00:39:31] human potential. This Spanish island is home
[00:39:35] to a sanctuary for elite
[00:39:37] athletes.
[00:39:39] What have you been doing in the pool? Pool,
[00:39:42] gym.
[00:39:45] The tank, okay? Let's work? Let's
[00:39:49] go, jump in.
[00:39:50] dentro.
[00:39:53] Okay, undulate. Legs, ready.
[00:40:00] And when Vicente was born, both my wife
[00:40:03] and I were scared. I think it's
[00:40:07] perfectly normal because we didn't know
[00:40:11] anything about Down syndrome and we were a little
[00:40:14] scared and now what will become of our
[00:40:17] son?
[00:40:20] We still have 10 minutes. The best advice I
[00:40:22] received from the doctor who
[00:40:25] attended us was for him to
[00:40:29] tell us, it wasn't even really telling, it was forcing us, like,
[00:40:33] "This kid is not going to special education, he has to go to regular
[00:40:36] education." You're going to jump in, hold onto the
[00:40:39] bar, you start with my signal, you finish
[00:40:43] with my signal, okay, up, come on,
[00:40:45] good job, he was the first in preschool to eat
[00:40:49] with cutlery. When we were in the car taking him to
[00:40:53] school, he would always try to tie his...
[00:40:57] sneakers, he couldn't until the day he managed
[00:41:00] to. A colleague from the
[00:41:04] pool told me that there was a kid there with Down
[00:41:08] syndrome who learned
[00:41:11] a lot from watching others, from the so-called normal
[00:41:14] ones, from his colleagues, but that
[00:41:16] he had something there. Come on,
[00:41:20] come on,
[00:41:22] come on.
[00:41:25] In a year and a half, Vicente was walking
[00:41:27] reasonably well. How did you feel?
[00:41:31] I felt strong
[00:41:33] with my breathing, I breathed
[00:41:37] well.
[00:41:39] And you? Now, strokes without breathing at the
[00:41:41] beginning,
[00:41:44] I let him start this right away with good breathing. It was
[00:41:47] surprising to see the eagerness he had right from the
[00:41:50] beginning to compete, to want to win, to want to get ahead. How many seconds
[00:41:53] were left?
[00:41:56] 13, only 13 seconds
[00:41:59] were left for our goal, and that gave
[00:42:02] us good indicators that Vicente
[00:42:06] could become...
[00:42:10] Fear with some success, we never thought, we never thought
[00:42:13] that with development he could reach levels and plateaus.
[00:42:40] finish the race, okay? I'm tired, I'm
[00:42:43] exhausted, I can't take it anymore, you can last a little longer,
[00:42:47] think that you're finishing race 15, 15 I work with a
[00:42:51] constant feedback method
[00:42:53] and I've always done it. If he demands a lot from me,
[00:42:56] he probably demands that I do almost the same amount of swimming as
[00:43:00] Vicente in the pool, back and forth, to be on
[00:43:04] top of the mistake, legs, in training he is very
[00:43:07] existent, huh? He shouts very loudly.
[00:43:11] When we
[00:43:14] have goals or to
[00:43:17] swim techniques, when
[00:43:20] we feel that is not right, we continue to
[00:43:23] work, not give up, always
[00:43:26] forward. You're going to do four of these,
[00:43:28] prepare in six days he broke 11
[00:43:32] world records, for me and my wife, it's a huge
[00:43:36] source of pride because we always think about what he was back then.
[00:43:40] Unlike hundreds of high-performance athletes, Vicente does
[00:43:44] not receive state
[00:43:46] support.
[00:43:49] From the internship in Tenerife, to equipment, travel,
[00:43:52] he depends almost exclusively on private
[00:43:55] initiative and the effort of his family. It's
[00:43:59] incredible the number of athletes that they
[00:44:01] have, they have the support of the Betano heroes who are the only
[00:44:05] ones who, being a private company, do
[00:44:08] the... public service of sport, it is
[00:44:11] unbelievable in Portugal that these children do not have the possibility
[00:44:15] to be supported by the state, to have
[00:44:18] the possibility of having a scholarship so that they
[00:44:22] can apply the money in their lives
[00:44:25] or in the sport they do,
[00:44:28] huh, this is not just swimming, it
[00:44:32] costs a lot,
[00:44:35] but this is not the only barrier that athletes
[00:44:39] with Down syndrome face.
[00:44:55] The most painful thing is when you
[00:44:59] hear your child say they have a dream and you know that
[00:45:03] dream will be very difficult to achieve. In the Paralympic
[00:45:06] Games, the rule says that athletes with Down syndrome
[00:45:10] are in the intellectual disability category, the same as for
[00:45:14] autistic people, for example. Here lies the
[00:45:17] problem, they start with a disadvantage, they face
[00:45:20] athletes who are perfectly physically fit, but a person
[00:45:24] with Down syndrome has less muscle rigidity,
[00:45:27] flexibility, and cardiovascular capacity, which
[00:45:31] makes it impossible for athletes with Down syndrome to achieve the
[00:45:35] minimum standards of their own category to enter the
[00:45:38] competition. Let's go! Just one more
[00:45:42] slow, slow, slow.
[00:45:45] You
[00:45:49] have the case of the Special Olympics who don't go to the
[00:45:52] Paralympics but have their own Olympics, okay? Why isn't
[00:45:56] there one for people with Down syndrome?
[00:45:59] I think
[00:46:03] no one has ever been able to give me an explanation that I thought
[00:46:07] was, well, maybe they're right.
[00:46:10] They tell us that the Paralympic Games
[00:46:13] have an Olympic Village. In that Olympic
[00:46:17] Village, all the teams, athletes
[00:46:21] and staff are housed. And
[00:46:23] in those Olympic, Paralympic villages there are
[00:46:26] 4,800 beds that have to be distributed among all the
[00:46:29] modalities, all the athletes and staff. At this moment,
[00:46:33] the inclusion of an athlete in the Paralympic
[00:46:37] Games of a new modality means that someone has
[00:46:42] more, there cannot be inclusion of more, so
[00:46:46] it's a matter of logistics, it's not a
[00:46:48] matter of logistics, it's a matter of a protocol that...
[00:46:52] exists between the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic
[00:46:56] Committee, which I believe has nothing to do with logistics. Wait,
[00:46:59] wait, let me spin here when
[00:47:02] you want, but giving up is not part of his
[00:47:05] vocabulary. You managed with
[00:47:08] your condition to be the best in the world, exactly,
[00:47:12] that proves it's not a problem at all, no, it's not a problem
[00:47:15] at all, as category 21,
[00:47:19] coming out of town, you are among the best.
[00:47:24] Sport gives
[00:47:26] me a unique
[00:47:28] opportunity,
[00:47:32] yeah, that people say that I'm not
[00:47:35] the best, that's all, it's all good, I
[00:47:39] say to my life, and I continue to be the
[00:47:42] best.
[00:48:16] We have talent,
[00:48:19] new judges. Almost 10 years ago, I was in a
[00:48:23] boy band. I'm very happy here next to my brother, I just need to
[00:48:26] start turning chairs. The truth is that this
[00:48:30] edition holds a huge
[00:48:32] secret. The Voice, new season
[00:48:36] premieres this Sunday on
[00:48:39] RTP Mundo, two
[00:48:42] popsicles and a Santa Claus, police out,
