[00:00:37] 8% and 12% of
[00:01:12] Lajas Valley will be affected,
[00:01:41] waiting for is that with
[00:02:09] to pit them against
[00:03:22] office, crimes against life, that is why
[00:03:35] responsibility to ensure compliance with
[00:04:06] The persistence of multiple homicides continues to reflect the
[00:04:09] impact of criminal violence in the country, according to the
[00:04:13] accumulated records so far in 2026, official
[00:04:17] figures count 23 episodes of collective
[00:04:20] deaths, a scourge that left a tragic toll of
[00:04:23] 93 fatalities. Among the
[00:04:26] alarming data, the surge in gender violence stands out. Within
[00:04:30] these massacres, 12 of the victims are women, which
[00:04:34] revives the concern of human rights organizations
[00:04:37] about the vulnerability of women. The
[00:04:41] occurrence of these 23 multiple homicides is
[00:04:44] focused on strategic areas of the national territory,
[00:04:47] mainly concentrating on the northern, Atlantic,
[00:04:51] and central strip of the country. Cortés is recurrently the
[00:04:55] department with the most annual cases, historically
[00:04:58] averaging between 20 and 27. 5% of the total
[00:05:01] massacres in the country, with greater impact in the municipalities of San
[00:05:05] Pedro Sula, Choloma, San Manuel, and Homoa.
[00:05:09] Francisco Morazán constantly disputes the top spots
[00:05:12] for incidents alongside Cortés, registering close to
[00:05:15] 15% of multiple violent acts nationwide,
[00:05:18] concentrated almost entirely in the central
[00:05:22] district. Yoro is consistently in third
[00:05:25] place in the country, contributing around
[00:05:28] 10% of global cases. Olancho and Colón
[00:05:31] fluctuate between 7 and 10%
[00:05:35] of annual incidents, usually linked to agrarian
[00:05:39] land conflicts involving criminal gangs. Atlántida,
[00:05:43] Comayagua, and Copán report moderate incidents,
[00:05:46] totaling between
[00:05:50] multiple crime scenes each year. Within the
[00:05:54] breakdown of the 23 bloody events that occurred nationwide,
[00:05:57] high-impact events stand out, the most recent in Holanchito
[00:06:01] Yoro, where six people died. This municipality
[00:06:05] remains one of the most critical points in the Department of
[00:06:09] Yoro.
[00:06:16] Since the war between Los Chapitos and La Malliza began in September
[00:06:19] 2024, 10 content creators have been allegedly
[00:06:23] murdered by these factions of the Sinaloa
[00:06:26] cartel. The first of them was Juan Carlos "El Chilango",
[00:06:29] shot to death while working selling sweets in Culiacán in
[00:06:33] October 2024.
[00:06:36] A month later, on November 23, Miguel Vivanco "El Jasper" was
[00:06:39] found with signs of torture in the community of Amadito in
[00:06:43] Sinaloa that same 2024, but on December
[00:06:46] 9, Leobardo Aispuro, known as "El Gordo Perusi",
[00:06:50] was killed in front of his house in the capital of Sinaloa. Then in
[00:06:53] January 2025, two more influencers were murdered:
[00:06:57] Agustín Paul "El Pinqui" and Adalberto
[00:07:01] Peña "El Tata", found on the Costeñita highway and in a
[00:07:04] gym in a shopping center in Culiacán respectively. In
[00:07:08] March 2025, Víctor Manuel "El Brasil" was also executed.
[00:07:12] He was first kidnapped, found days later with bullet
[00:07:16] wounds. That same month, Gali Castro was killed
[00:07:19] leaving a seafood restaurant in Ensenada, Baja California.
[00:07:23] By August 2025, Camilo
[00:07:26] Ochoa appeared dead in a subdivision in Temixco,
[00:07:29] Morelos. Then the crimes returned to Culiacán with the
[00:07:33] murder of Gerardo "El Jerry", who was shot
[00:07:36] repeatedly. This Tuesday, August 4,
[00:07:39] while broadcasting a live video, he was hit.
[00:07:50] According to the security cabinet,
[00:07:53] the content published by the influencer, alluding to La
[00:07:57] Malliza, led by Ismael Zambada and Cairos,
[00:08:01] alias El Flaco.
[00:08:02] However,
[00:08:07] investigations continue to determine the causes
[00:08:10] and identify those responsible.
[00:08:14] Prosecutor Rosmeri Barrientos refers to one of the inmates who escaped this
[00:08:18] Wednesday from Palmasola prison. In reality, the escape
[00:08:21] will have to be reported by the governor, no.
[00:08:24] However, since it is an inmate that the public
[00:08:27] ministry arrested, brought before the precautionary judge
[00:08:31] for one of the cases of the prosecutor's
[00:08:34] the public ministry is present here at Palmasola prison, in order to learn
[00:08:38] the details of what happened, Alex Eleno
[00:08:41] da Silva. a person who participated in the murder
[00:08:45] of Edgardo Castañeda, which is why
[00:08:47] he was held in pre-trial detention in Palmasola prison, he indicated
[00:08:51] that now his legal situation changes, that is, a report to
[00:08:55] know the circumstances and activate the corresponding procedural mechanisms
[00:08:59] before the precautionary judge, what information is available from what they have already
[00:09:02] been investigating so far, eh, regarding my case, he was in pre-trial
[00:09:06] detention for having sufficient evidence of having participated in that
[00:09:09] murder, no, now from now on, what corresponds is to gather the
[00:09:13] information and request his declaration of rebellion. This
[00:09:17] Wednesday, visitors were not allowed to enter Palmasola
[00:09:20] prison.
[00:09:23] The police have published on their official page the photograph of the two inmates
[00:09:26] who escaped this morning. These are
[00:09:29] Fernando Junior da Silva and Alex Eleno da Silva,
[00:09:33] both Brazilians considered highly
[00:09:36] dangerous, one of them a member of the First Capital
[00:09:39] Command, with debts to justice in his country
[00:09:43] of origin. Fernando Junior da Silva, Brazilian, was
[00:09:46] imprisoned for arms trafficking. Inside the
[00:09:49] prison, he was considered highly dangerous due to his
[00:09:53] connections with criminal organizations related to organized
[00:09:57] crime. His name was one of the first published by
[00:10:00] the police. Eleno da Silva Alex is the other inmate
[00:10:04] who escaped this morning. According to his
[00:10:07] record, he is a member of the First Capital
[00:10:10] Command, also considered highly dangerous. His
[00:10:13] photograph circulates at checkpoints, terminals,
[00:10:16] and airports. Heleno was apprehended in the Urubó area, since
[00:10:20] then the Bolivian police has exchanged information with their Brazilian
[00:10:24] counterparts. There his criminal record
[00:10:27] became known. After this escape, several questions
[00:10:31] arise regarding the security of one of the prisons
[00:10:34] that holds the most inmates, Palmasola.
[00:10:38] libertad como es Palmasola.
[00:11:29] Our story was built by people, neighbors helping
[00:11:33] neighbors, standing side by side with those who trust
[00:11:36] us, to protect what matters most and help build our
[00:11:40] communities, being there when needed
[00:11:43] most, across borders,
[00:11:47] across generations,
[00:11:50] still growing, still giving, still
[00:11:54] just get... started after
[00:11:57] 185 years,
[00:12:11] Are you ready to level up? More
[00:12:15] light and more durable. Let's start
[00:12:19] the adventure, go to eamigo.com and
[00:12:22] choose your plan together.
[00:13:22] Closed doors and
[00:13:25] empty spaces. This is the image the UL leaves us with after
[00:13:29] detecting elevated levels of radon gas. Radon gas is a noble
[00:13:32] gas that arises from the decomposition of
[00:13:34] uranium in the rock and in certain
[00:13:38] territories. For this reason, it was decided to preventively close
[00:13:41] those 65 spaces spread across the
[00:13:45] different campuses. We have done works and what is produced
[00:13:49] with this work carried out is to inject air from the
[00:13:51] outside, because at that moment, by injecting air, the
[00:13:55] radon concentration level is reduced. In addition to the ventilation
[00:13:59] system, a device like this is installed
[00:14:03] in each classroom. This is a continuous radon sensor that allows us to
[00:14:06] monitor 24 hours a day the amount of radon
[00:14:10] we have in the classroom. The University insists that these are preventive
[00:14:14] measures and that these spaces will be reopened with all
[00:14:17] guarantees.
[00:14:21] That 8.3% is what the transport sector has had to increase its
[00:14:25] tariffs to adapt to this rise. Transport workers,
[00:14:29] 6,000 taxi drivers, 14,000 trucks, and about 6,000 buses are
[00:14:32] drowning because fuel is half of their costs. They warn that
[00:14:36] since the first week of July, the increase has been even
[00:14:39] greater, the classic example
[00:14:43] of the rocket and the feather. The price of fuel rises like a rocket, but then to
[00:14:46] fall it's like a feather that takes a long time to fall, and that also
[00:14:50] creates an artificial inflation in the domestic
[00:14:54] economy. Fuel prices are greatly affecting families,
[00:14:57] it's the oil, the rubber,
[00:15:01] this is a blatant robbery, the oscillation is abysmal,
[00:15:04] to go up is great, but to go down no. In fact, the Ministry of
[00:15:08] Economy of the Canary Islands Government has ordered an inspection to analyze 78
[00:15:12] gas stations in the archipelago and see how prices are behaving,
[00:15:15] data that, as I say, will have to be evaluated
[00:15:19] internally to even determine if any of the competition defense bodies
[00:15:23] should act. The first data from this study will be
[00:15:26] available in September.
[00:15:30] The Spanish enclave of Ceuta, in northern Africa, is under pressure
[00:15:34] from the massive arrival of migrants with its temporary
[00:15:37] reception center saturated and stranded people camping in the surrounding
[00:15:41] forests and beaches, built to house only
[00:15:45] a few hundred people for short stays, the reception center
[00:15:49] has been overwhelmed since the migratory crisis in Ceuta broke
[00:15:52] out. In its vicinity, migrants take refuge in nearby
[00:15:56] forests with very limited basic supplies. Haisatou,
[00:15:59] a migrant from Guinea, said that newcomers have made the forest their
[00:16:03] refuge, and people have divided by gender and nationality,
[00:16:07] becoming an informal community of stranded people. Not having
[00:16:11] relatives in her country of origin, Isatou risked leaving for
[00:16:15] Spain in search of a new
[00:16:17] life.
[00:16:20] My plan was Spain because I have no family. My mother
[00:16:23] passed away and my father too. I have
[00:16:27] no family.
[00:16:30] On a stretch of beach, another group of migrants has gathered,
[00:16:33] hoping to be admitted to the reception center and to submit an application
[00:16:37] for international protection. Currently, the Spanish National
[00:16:41] Police maintain a constant presence in the area, while
[00:16:45] Civil Guard vehicles patrol the
[00:16:47] site.
[00:16:49] The Spanish enclave of Ceuta, in North Africa, is facing
[00:16:53] a severe shortage of basic supplies after a massive influx
[00:16:56] of migrants from neighboring Morocco. Residents
[00:16:59] describe the situation as the country's worst border crisis in
[00:17:03] years. This is madness what is happening here. Look, they have always come with open
[00:17:06] arms. Because emigration, well, pardon me,
[00:17:10] migration has always existed both in one country and in the other country.
[00:17:13] When I emigrated to Spain, I emigrated with papers, to Germany and
[00:17:17] other countries. Because of hunger and war and everything, people come
[00:17:20] looking for a future, but this has not been emigration, this has been an
[00:17:24] invasion, an invasion of Moroccan
[00:17:27] territory, our neighbors towards us, the
[00:17:30] citizens of Ceuta, to whom we have done nothing, whom we have always received with open
[00:17:34] arms. We have a wonderful, incredible coexistence. We
[00:17:38] would like it to return to what they have wanted to do with this is to
[00:17:41] infuriate both lands,
[00:17:44] Morocco and Ceuta,
[00:17:46] each other, they will not
[00:17:48] succeed.
[00:17:51] Spanish authorities reported on Tuesday that around 70,000 of the
[00:17:55] 72,000 people who crossed into Ceuta from Morocco
[00:17:58] have already returned to their country and that at least 75 people have
[00:18:02] died trying to cross into
[00:18:04] Ceuta.
[00:18:07] The only reason I left Morocco was because I had nothing
[00:18:10] left, there was nothing, no work, no
[00:18:14] hospitals, no job opportunities, nothing,
[00:18:18] there was nothing to do, nor was there a way out, what else can
[00:18:22] a person do? People keep trying and
[00:18:25] trying until they die. When I arrived, I saw
[00:18:28] four people who had already died and there are more in the
[00:18:31] sea.
[00:18:35] A grocery store owner indicated that many
[00:18:38] people have chosen not to leave their homes and that the goods in the
[00:18:41] establishments were not enough. The
[00:18:44] situation here in Ceuta has been a little critical because
[00:18:48] there are people who have been scared, they haven't been able to leave their
[00:18:51] homes, because it's true that many, many, many
[00:18:54] people have entered, eh, the establishments
[00:18:58] have not been enough because the merchandise that was there was only for the people of
[00:19:02] Ceuta, we have tried to make sure that everyone
[00:19:05] has supplies
[00:19:08] so they can eat, drink and be well in their homes,
[00:19:12] but it is true that the situation has been very, very critical because many
[00:19:16] people have entered and we have been in, well, we have been and
[00:19:19] continue to be in a situation where there is
[00:19:23] no, no merchandise, no necessary things for life such as
[00:19:27] water, bread, and we are trying
[00:19:30] to move forward and continue
[00:19:31] forward.
[00:21:37] The mountains of the community of Coambo, northwest of
[00:21:40] Ibarra, today look like this: a black
[00:21:43] blanket extends over 1443
[00:21:46] hectares. It is the trace left by the flames that remained
[00:21:50] active for 5 days.
[00:21:53] The landscape is desolate, charred
[00:21:56] trunks, dead agave plants and plants uprooted
[00:21:59] cover the slopes. It is considered as
[00:22:02] one of the largest fires in our sector during the last 10 years
[00:22:06] because of its magnitude and because,
[00:22:09] logically, its location has also made it very difficult
[00:22:12] to control. The residents of Coambo, San Guillermo and
[00:22:16] Coajara lived through hours of anguish. They assure that they had never
[00:22:20] seen a forest fire spread so
[00:22:23] fast and feared that the fire would reach their homes, crops
[00:22:27] and animals. What we are
[00:22:31] the winter, all that loose soil there
[00:22:34] will come down through the ravines and cause
[00:22:38] a lot of damage to the
[00:22:40] crops. Strong winds of up to
[00:22:44] 75 km per hour and steep slopes
[00:22:48] were the favorable conditions for the fire to
[00:22:51] break out. However, this Wednesday firefighters
[00:22:54] managed to extinguish the last three active hotspots,
[00:22:58] located more than 3, m high, and
[00:23:01] while the war against the flames ended in the
[00:23:04] northwest of Ibarra, firefighters now report another
[00:23:08] large-scale fire, this time in the northeast, in the
[00:23:11] Pimán sector, border between Ibarra and Pimampiro, which is
[00:23:15] spreading rapidly. The number of affected
[00:23:18] hectares is not yet confirmed.
[00:23:22] We arrived in Cabo Rojo to learn about the possible positive
[00:23:26] or negative effects of the Esencia project.
[00:23:30] Esencia is the mega-project for tourism and residential development
[00:23:33] they propose to develop in the Los Pozos sector in Cabo Rojo, between Boquerón
[00:23:37] and Combate. The plan contemplates more than 2000
[00:23:40] acres of land where they promise to build residences whose
[00:23:44] cost would start at 3 million dollars, in addition to
[00:23:48] hotels, golf courses and amenities,
[00:23:50] but since the project was announced, it has generated intense controversy
[00:23:54] in one sector, they claim, it means progress, economy, demonstrations,
[00:23:58] marches and opposition from residents, farmers and environmental
[00:24:01] organizations have marked the process,
[00:24:05] none of us here are against developments and projects,
[00:24:08] as long as they are viable, as long as they
[00:24:12] are sensible, there are
[00:24:15] regulations, there are offices, there are
[00:24:19] government officials who are,
[00:24:22] you see, they have that
[00:24:25] the law, well, comply with what the law says.
[00:24:29] During the public hearings on the environmental impact statement known
[00:24:32] as DIA, the developers of Cabo Rojo Land Acquisition, Ruben Brothers
[00:24:36] Corporation and Tri Rules Capital, acknowledged that the
[00:24:40] construction will cause environmental impacts which they assured
[00:24:43] they would mitigate. In their presentation, they admitted the existence of endemic
[00:24:47] fauna and flora, wetlands which they explained they would conserve...
[00:24:50] oyster beds, more than 100 archaeological sites,
[00:24:54] they explained 73% will be in golf courses, with
[00:24:58] minimal impact, 24% would be lost
[00:25:01] and 3% would be preserved in a shopping center. In
[00:25:04] September 2025, natural resources reported that
[00:25:08] Esencia would cause serious deficiencies and irreversible
[00:25:11] impacts, as well as the fragmentation of the habitat
[00:25:15] of endemic species. Despite this position, on December 23,
[00:25:19] 2025, the Permits Management Office, known as
[00:25:22] OP, approved the DIA, making it public on December
[00:25:26] 24. It is an illegal project, that
[00:25:30] is a project that has bypassed all the
[00:25:33] regulations in force in this country. Last
[00:25:37] Thursday, OCP approved the location consultation officially
[00:25:40] published on Friday afternoon, which allows the project
[00:25:43] to continue its permitting process. 40%
[00:25:47] of the land is classified as rustic or non-developable
[00:25:50] land, associated with agricultural uses,
[00:25:54] conservation of natural resources, open spaces, but
[00:25:57] in addition to the environmental impact, there is another resource,
[00:26:01] water. Originally, the project planned to supply itself from the
[00:26:05] Betances filtration plant in Cabo Rojo, which receives its water from the Lajas
[00:26:09] Valley irrigation canal, administered by the AEE, the main source of
[00:26:13] water for the agricultural area. The Aqueduct and Sewer Authority
[00:26:16] concluded that the plant does not have the capacity to supply the demand
[00:26:20] of the project without making substantial improvements. The projected
[00:26:23] water consumption for Esencia with the golf courses is
[00:26:27] 1.25 million gallons of water daily, a figure that has
[00:26:31] kept the farmers of Cabo Rojo and Lajas awake at night, and
[00:26:35] although little is said about food security, the Lajas Valley
[00:26:38] area plays a very important role in food
[00:26:42] in Puerto Rico, because it is one of the few that remains
[00:26:45] active distributing those
[00:26:48] fresh foods that reach your table. In the Lajas Valley,
[00:26:51] about 200 farmers operate, who
[00:26:55] maintain their crops in an island that imports a large part of the
[00:26:59] food it consumes. Any threat to the water
[00:27:02] supply for agriculture generates concern. Farmers
[00:27:05] fear that a project of such magnitude could jeopardize
[00:27:09] that resource. All agricultural companies in the
[00:27:14] but not only that, all the filtration
[00:27:18] plants that are served by the
[00:27:22] Electric Power Authority, which sells water to the Triple
[00:27:25] A, because that is the water they use in the filtration
[00:27:28] plants and we end up at the
[00:27:31] Electric Power plant, reiterated in a letter that
[00:27:35] if a connection to the irrigation system were considered in the future,
[00:27:39] not even under emergency circumstances, there is capacity to
[00:27:42] increase the flow without affecting the service that
[00:27:45] farmers receive. The concern increases, but the
[00:27:49] project proposal changed. In an explanatory memorandum
[00:27:52] presented by OPEB last July, Esencia
[00:27:56] assured that it would no longer connect to the Triple A. Natural Resources
[00:28:00] would have authorized the drilling of deep wells
[00:28:03] and test boreholes to assess the availability of underground
[00:28:06] water, it is then that the strategy
[00:28:10] changes and the battery of
[00:28:14] advisors of Esencia tells the
[00:28:18] department, we need you to authorize these permits
[00:28:22] because the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority will
[00:28:25] provide us with the water we need,
[00:28:28] it is then that they elbow the
[00:28:32] agency, right, to the Department of Natural Resources, and the Department
[00:28:36] of Natural Resources then has to give them the
[00:28:39] permits for the well drillers, but if there is
[00:28:42] an opportunity to extract water from there, why until
[00:28:46] now has the Triple A not used
[00:28:49] that option to resolve water shortages
[00:28:53] when tourists come on weekends there,
[00:28:57] you know, it's obvious, in that same
[00:29:01] explanatory memorandum, it was assured that the tests carried out in the
[00:29:04] wells produced more than 10 million gallons daily, assuring
[00:29:08] that they will only use around 15%,
[00:29:11] meaning 1.25 million gallons daily, but
[00:29:15] that alternative is also not free of questions. Natural
[00:29:19] Resources warned that the extraction of groundwater so
[00:29:23] close to the coast could cause saline
[00:29:26] intrusion in the aquifer. If it occurs, saltwater would penetrate
[00:29:30] the aquifer, affecting the quality of the resource and limiting its use.
[00:29:33] One of the most affected aquifers could be the
[00:29:36] Rincon. Saline intrusion means that saltwater enters
[00:29:39] and damages the aquifer. If it is damaged, it is
[00:29:43] lost. The water from the subsoil in this
[00:29:47] region is brackish, which means it has a lot of salt
[00:29:50] and other minerals that normally
[00:29:53] filtered water does not
[00:29:57] have, it is not a very palatable
[00:29:59] water, if those wells extract water. What
[00:30:02] they extract is brackish water.
