[00:00:00] to the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Natural
[00:00:03] Resources then has to give them the permits for the well
[00:00:07] drilling, but if there
[00:00:09] is an opportunity to get water from there, why hasn't the AAA
[00:00:12] until now used
[00:00:16] that option to resolve water scarcity
[00:00:20] when tourists come on weekends there,
[00:00:24] you know, it's obvious. In that same
[00:00:27] explanatory memorandum, Essentia stated that the tests carried out in
[00:00:31] the wells produced more than 10 million gallons daily, assuring
[00:00:35] that they would only use about 15%,
[00:00:38] meaning 1.25 million gallons daily, but
[00:00:42] that alternative is not free of questioning either. Natural
[00:00:46] Resources warned that the extraction of groundwater so
[00:00:50] close to the coast could cause saline
[00:00:53] intrusion into the aquifer. If it occurs, saltwater would penetrate
[00:00:56] the aquifer, affecting the quality of the resource and limiting its...
[00:01:03] One of the most affected aquifers could be El Rincón, the saline instruction that saltwater enters and
[00:01:07] damages the aquifer, if it is damaged, it
[00:01:10] is lost, the water in the subsoil in this region
[00:01:14] is brackish, that means that it has a high content of
[00:01:17] salt and other minerals that normally
[00:01:21] filtered water does not
[00:01:23] have, it is not very palatable
[00:01:26] water. If those wells extract water, what they extract
[00:01:30] is brackish water or with saline intrusion.
[00:01:34] There is no aquifer there, they will not obtain usable
[00:01:37] water there, there is no way, and
[00:01:40] if in any of them they find that for one reason or
[00:01:44] another there is fresh water, that fresh water
[00:01:47] is due to rain events that that cavity was filled with fresh water
[00:01:51] and as soon as they extract it, there will be no more. Adjacent to the place is
[00:01:54] one of the most valuable ecosystems in the southwest, the Rincón
[00:01:58] lagoon, known for its oyster beds, its
[00:02:02] mangroves and its biodiversity, also home
[00:02:05] to manatees, including the threatened Antillean
[00:02:08] manatee. To get to know that environment up close, we got on
[00:02:11] a boat from Boquerón and entered
[00:02:15] this ecosystem that fishermen and residents
[00:02:18] consider an essential part of the identity of
[00:02:21] Cabo Rojo. We will also talk in the next
[00:02:24] chapter about the fauna and
[00:02:26] flora.
[00:02:29] This is natural that seems alien to the city noise
[00:02:32] occurs in one of the wetlands of Bogotá, like this
[00:02:36] white heron, more than 250 species of birds
[00:02:39] inhabit the capital of
[00:02:40] the country.
[00:02:46] Now, anyone can listen to their songs and learn about their
[00:02:50] characteristics in the new bird bank, a platform where
[00:02:54] you can explore data, photographs and
[00:02:56] videos. The Bogotá bird song bank
[00:03:00] works as follows: when you
[00:03:03] enter the page, you can select any of the species
[00:03:06] that are here, so for example, we click on
[00:03:10] this one which is the savanna chiringué. Here, as
[00:03:13] you can see, there is a photograph of the
[00:03:16] species and some data about it.
[00:03:19] Also, when we click on play here, we hear how
[00:03:22] it sings.
[00:03:26] This bird library was possible thanks to the employees of the Bogotá Aqueduct
[00:03:30] who identify the fauna and with their registration seek
[00:03:34] to protect it. They are the ones who start, guided by
[00:03:37] biologists, by ornithologists, to develop a whole
[00:03:40] technical work of registering the
[00:03:44] biodiversity of fauna that they harbor in these
[00:03:47] wetlands. The manager also states that one of the main
[00:03:51] tasks to protect birds is to take care of the water bodies that
[00:03:55] Bogotá has. To care for fauna is to care for biodiversity,
[00:03:58] to care for biodiversity is to care for water, especially what
[00:04:02] has to do with water security strategies,
[00:04:05] protecting wetlands, protecting watersheds. In addition to the
[00:04:09] interactive platform, the district launched the second edition of the book Birds
[00:04:13] of the Urban Wetlands of Bogotá, an album book full
[00:04:17] of photographs and important data of most of the species that inhabit these
[00:04:21] ecosystems. The book of birds of the wetlands of
[00:04:24] Bogotá can also be found in the public libraries
[00:04:27] of the city and virtually on the website of the Bogotá Aqueduct.
[00:06:10] Good evening, viewer, this is Bombeni.
[00:07:12] The Minister of Housing emphasizes that construction companies
[00:07:16] must comply with all permits and requirements to
[00:07:19] prepare land for construction.
[00:07:23] Also, addiction and mental health must be treated together, there must be more
[00:07:27] focus on trauma as the root of problems, the need for more
[00:07:31] coverage and support for specialized
[00:07:33] care. In addition, the
[00:07:37] Jamaican community celebrates 64 years of
[00:07:39] independence, while Aruba
[00:07:51] A fatal shooting in Thailand leaves at least 7 people dead and 23
[00:07:55] injured, after a 14-year-old opened fire at
[00:07:58] a shopping mall
[00:07:59] in a school.
[00:08:07] We start immediately with this first report. During a government press
[00:08:11] conference today, Minister Mike Eman, together with the Minister of Social
[00:08:14] Affairs, Mervin Wyatt- Traas, announced financial
[00:08:18] support that the government will provide to those who receive basic assistance and who
[00:08:21] need help with school supplies. Prime
[00:08:25] Minister Eman
[00:08:26] summarized
[00:08:34] 459.
[00:08:42] Certainly important.
[00:10:22] This financial support for the most vulnerable.
[00:12:34] The Minister of Infrastructure
[00:12:36] expressed concern during an interview about the number of
[00:12:40] construction companies that, according to Minister Harte, are not
[00:12:43] complying
[00:12:47] with requests for different types of permits, all from departments in the manner of
[00:12:50] DNA at the time of preparing the land.
[00:12:54] According to the minister,
[00:12:59] the current requirements are to protect the environment, for
[00:13:02] which the minister,
[00:16:33] 64th anniversary of Jamaica's independence, an
[00:16:36] occasion marked with national pride, culture and
[00:16:39] tradition; during the celebration, different members of the community,
[00:16:43] guests and representatives of the government participated
[00:16:47] in commemorative activities. Prime Minister
[00:16:50] Mike Eman spoke during the program where he congratulated
[00:16:53] the Jamaican community on the anniversary of the independence of
[00:16:57] the country. During his speech, the Prime Minister highlighted the strong
[00:17:01] relationship between Aruba and Jamaica and expressed his appreciation
[00:17:04] for the important contribution of the community.
[00:17:15] Jamaica says so appropriately,
[00:17:18] our may our holy father
[00:17:22] be our guidance, our
[00:17:25] lights during countless
[00:17:28] hours. This is a
[00:17:31] foundation that every nation
[00:17:34] needs, this is the basic.
[00:17:38] for the norms and values that should guide us as a
[00:17:41] country and as a community,
[00:17:44] and when we gather here today and we
[00:17:47] reflect on the independence of
[00:17:50] Jamaica, we remember and reflect on
[00:17:54] the history of the people that made it possible for
[00:17:57] Jamaica to become independent, strong
[00:18:01] leaders, strong community that
[00:18:05] felt that the opportunity.
[00:18:08] and the most important responsibility laid
[00:18:12] in their own hands to guide their country, so
[00:18:16] this is a celebration of
[00:18:18] that strength of the Jamaican community here
[00:18:21] today,
[00:18:24] and Aruba is blessed, Aruba is blessed that we
[00:18:28] may share in those values and the strength of the
[00:18:31] Jamaican community, we celebrate the
[00:18:35] joint effort that we all are making. to create
[00:18:38] a better nation for all that live in Aruba,
[00:18:42] and we and we call like the Jamaican National Anthem
[00:18:46] calls for the Holy Father to
[00:18:49] guide us with his light in
[00:18:52] order to create that better opportunity,
[00:18:56] we also ask for the sense of responsibility
[00:19:00] that we share that prosperity. Many
[00:19:03] countries in the world have very
[00:19:06] impressive economic numbers, have
[00:19:10] very impressive tourism numbers. Aruba also
[00:19:13] has these impressive economic and tourism
[00:19:16] numbers, but when we walk around our
[00:19:19] islands, when we visit neighborhoods, we
[00:19:23] enter a house in Aruba, we
[00:19:26] feel that although we have been successful economic
[00:19:29] growth and prosperity, we
[00:19:32] still have much to do in order for that prosperity
[00:19:36] to reach every household of Aruba,
[00:19:40] to reach every street and every neighborhood, so when we come
[00:19:44] here together today, celebrating
[00:19:46] with the Jamaican community, let's also remember
[00:19:50] their contribution to the progress of Aruba, let's
[00:19:54] also make it a cause that each
[00:19:57] one of all those
[00:20:00] making this prosperity share in this
[00:20:03] prosperity, that is definitely a goal for...
[00:20:35] Jamaican, highlighting the importance of preserving their culture.
[00:20:50] new flag raised in its
[00:20:53] place, black,
[00:20:56] the strength and creativity of its
[00:21:00] people, green for the land
[00:21:04] and for hope and gold for the
[00:21:07] sunlight that never
[00:21:09] fades,
[00:21:12] on that night, a nation of farmers and fishermen, of
[00:21:15] teachers and market women, of poets and
[00:21:19] builders, stood before the world and
[00:21:22] declared with quiet confidence
[00:21:25] that it would henceforth be itself.
[00:21:29] itself.
[00:21:31] That night in 1962, Jamaica was born as an
[00:21:34] independent state, but the
[00:21:37] Jamaican spirit was born long before
[00:21:40] that, and it was born free,
[00:21:44] it survived the middle passage, it endured the
[00:21:48] plantation. It stood before the
[00:21:51] Maroons, stood with Maroons in the mountains and stood again
[00:21:55] in every generation that refused to allow our
[00:21:58] story to be written by someone
[00:22:01] else.
[00:22:09] Independence did not create the Jamaican spirit,
[00:22:12] independence gave it a
[00:22:14] flag.
[00:22:18] And I would ask you to reflect this evening
[00:22:22] on where we have chosen to raise this flag, not in
[00:22:26] Kingston, but here in
[00:22:29] Main Street St.
[00:22:30] Nicholas.
[00:22:35] That choice is deliberate. A
[00:22:38] century ago, when the refinery brought this town to life,
[00:22:41] workers came from across the Caribbean to build new
[00:22:44] futures and among them came
[00:22:47] Jamaicans.
[00:22:50] They brought their labor, their faith, their culture, their
[00:22:54] music and their cuisine.
[00:22:57] They raised families here, they
[00:23:00] helped to build this community, they
[00:23:04] contributed to Aruba.
[00:23:07] The English spoken in these streets, the rhythm of this
[00:23:10] town's celebration, the very character of St.
[00:23:13] Nicholas.
[00:23:16] Jamaica is woven into this fabric.
[00:23:45] Luna generates concern, AWP parliamentarians
[00:23:47] say there should be more attention to the issue. Also, according to Fundacion,
[00:23:51] there is a lack of transparency regarding the Prime Minister's position
[00:23:55] effective January 1, 2027.
[00:24:11] Everything starts with a dream, a dream that
[00:24:14] develops and that is different for each person, but all
[00:24:18] come to the same point. Take the first step to become a homeowner

[00:26:28] he reported more about the statements of the Union Leader
[00:30:57] Social problems that Aruba is currently facing.
