[00:01:33] tragedy in Colombia, almost
[00:01:37] 200 dead after earthquake, earthquake
[00:01:40] destroyed San Rafael Hospital
[00:02:05] as hours pass after this
[00:02:08] regrettable 7.4 magnitude earthquake that affected Colombia yesterday,
[00:02:12] the latent concern continues, not only for Colombians who are
[00:02:16] there, but also for many people, Colombians and non-Colombians
[00:02:20] who reside in Aruba but
[00:02:23] to try to exercise to maintain have family in Colombia. Given this, the government yesterday, after several
[00:02:27] meetings, released information, the inventory. They are
[00:02:30] making not only of patients who are in Colombia on behalf of
[00:02:34] AZB, but also of people
[00:02:36] specifically for the tax, which who are spending their holidays in Colombia. Given this, they released
[00:02:39] helpline numbers concerning the Dutch embassy in
[00:02:43] different cities in
[00:02:46] At this time, our viral Colombia. The government of Aruba continues
[00:02:48] to closely monitor the situation after the strong earthquake
[00:02:52] that affected several regions of Colombia yesterday morning. The
[00:02:56] circulating images show the
[00:02:58] buildings where the city's history considerable impact of this natural phenomenon, which has also generated
[00:03:01] concern among families in Aruba who have loved
[00:03:05] ones currently in Colombia. During a press
[00:03:08] conference, the government confirmed that the crisis management center, along with the
[00:03:12] corresponding institutions are working to
[00:03:15] create the most
[00:03:18] complete possible register of Aruban citizens currently
[00:03:22] in Colombia. According to preliminary information, several
[00:03:26] citizens are in that country for medical
[00:03:30] treatment, studies, family visits, and also
[00:03:33] engineers are sweeping vacations. The government calls on all
[00:03:36] Dutch citizens who are in Colombia
[00:03:39] at this time, to maintain
[00:03:43] contact with consular authorities in order to receive
[00:03:47] assistance through the consulate and register their stay.
[00:03:50] This will facilitate a quick response in case any type of
[00:03:54] assistance is needed. To
[00:03:57] receive this consular assistance there, citizens can
[00:04:00] contact the embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in
[00:04:04] Bogotá. A 24-hour WhatsApp number is also
[00:04:07] available. Citizens in the
[00:04:11] Cali region can also contact the Honorary Consul
[00:04:14] of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in that city by
[00:04:18] email as well:
[00:04:19] consulat@vdl.com.com.
[00:04:23] The government of Aruba continues to monitor these
[00:04:26] events in coordination with the competent authorities, and
[00:04:30] reaffirms its commitment to provide the necessary assistance to Aruban
[00:04:33] citizens who may eventually need
[00:04:36] support. Changing the subject, as
[00:04:39] we know, the "Junto pa Progreso" program helped about
[00:04:43] 1500 people with a temporary permit, so that they
[00:04:47] would have a year to find, either an employer who would
[00:04:50] sign for them or an employer. Given this, Minister Arthur Dowers
[00:04:54] indicated that the deadline for obtaining this signature is approaching
[00:04:58] and that there will be no further extension of these
[00:05:01] permits, which means that if they do not have a signature, they will become
[00:05:05] illegal and must leave the
[00:05:07] record, he descended to the bottom of country. The different people who
[00:05:10] obtained their temporary permit under the "Junto
[00:05:14] pa Progreso" program must keep in mind that the period
[00:05:18] granted to them to find a company or a person
[00:05:22] to support them with a signature is about to expire.
[00:05:25] Likewise, they must have a person willing to sign
[00:05:29] as an employer, this is necessary because there
[00:05:32] will be no extension. The minister in charge of DIMAS, Mr.
[00:05:36] Arthur Dowers explained that it concerns a group of about
[00:05:39] 1500 people who obtained their permit to
[00:05:43] legally remain and work in Aruba, wherever
[00:05:48] labor. However, this permit is subject to a one-year
[00:05:52] period. During this time, these people
[00:05:54] had to get a company that needs workers
[00:05:57] to be willing to support them with a signature to be able to
[00:06:01] obtain a definitive permit. From the
[00:06:04] beginning, these 1500 people were explained the conditions
[00:06:07] linked to this type of permit. The deadline
[00:06:11] for the first group expires in two to three months, these people
[00:06:15] must be aware that if they do not take the
[00:06:18] necessary measures at this time to obtain a regular permit,
[00:06:22] once the expiration date arrives, there will be no more
[00:06:25] time. It was also indicated that they will go to this
[00:06:30] they have explained is that they could already be in an irregular
[00:06:33] situation and at that moment they must leave the country. If
[00:06:37] a person fails to obtain a definitive signature and remains in
[00:06:41] Aruba in an irregular situation, they will be ordered to leave the country,
[00:06:44] and may even receive a ban of several years from
[00:06:48] entering the country.
[00:06:51] Changing the subject, the Tax Department reminds everyone once again
[00:06:54] that on their "Voimpuesto" or "Boim" portal, they can now
[00:06:58] find the entry declaration, which is the "Income Stelasting"
[00:07:02] so they can complete all the procedures, and more specifically
[00:07:05] those people who perhaps have a third party, either a
[00:07:09] family member, a friend, or a
[00:07:12] tax person, a person who knows about accounting, to help them fill out their
[00:07:16] documents. Next, the
[00:07:17] information.
[00:07:20] The corresponding folder for the
[00:07:23] income tax declaration, known as the "Income Stelasting," is now available
[00:07:27] on the "Voimpuesto" portal, and users can now
[00:07:30] authorize another trusted person such as a family member,
[00:07:34] partner, accountant, or tax advisor to
[00:07:37] consult and help them complete their declaration when the
[00:07:41] form is available in November. The
[00:07:45] authorization can be granted
[00:07:48] is known as the "Income Stelasting," without
[00:07:51] needing to give access to all other services or taxes.
[00:07:55] To authorize a specific
[00:07:58] person, you must go to "Manage Users" and select
[00:08:01] "Add User." In the case of an accountant or tax advisor,
[00:08:05] the procedure is done from "Manage Advisors." It is
[00:08:09] important to protect tax information and never
[00:08:13] share your username or password, as these are
[00:08:16] personal and confidential data.
[00:08:18] Authorizations can be withdrawn at any time
[00:08:22] from the same portal. With this system, paper
[00:08:25] forms and authorization letters are a thing of the past.
[00:08:29] Everything can be managed digitally and
[00:08:32] directly on Boi. To use these functions,
[00:08:36] you need to have an account. Those who are not yet
[00:08:39] registered can do so now without waiting until
[00:08:43] November.
[00:08:49] We begin our international round with the tragedy
[00:08:53] that continues to shake Colombia. 24 hours
[00:08:56] after this regrettable earthquake, we have seen
[00:08:59] how aid continues to arrive in Colombia, but also
[00:09:03] how different cities, along with their mayors and
[00:09:07] governors, have united to carry out in an orderly manner,
[00:09:11] not only the rescues of people who are still
[00:09:14] under the rubble. According to preliminary figures, at the time of
[00:09:17] our broadcast, there were at least 200 fatalities.
[00:09:21] Adrian Cuestas from Noticias Caracol has the
[00:09:24] information.
[00:09:26] 24 hours after the 7.4 magnitude earthquake
[00:09:30] that strongly hit several regions of the country, in
[00:09:33] particular the department of Chocó in the northwest of the country, where precisely
[00:09:37] around 7:30 yesterday morning
[00:09:40] the epicenter was registered. There is an update on the number of
[00:09:44] victims because it is now close to 200. More than
[00:09:48] 100 are injured at this moment and 100 people are currently
[00:09:51] missing. More than
[00:09:54] 200 trapped are estimated to be in the city of
[00:09:58] Cali alone, this in the department of Valle del Cauca, a city
[00:10:01] that also woke up militarized today, meaning under a
[00:10:05] curfew that started at 8 PM and ended at
[00:10:09] 6 AM today, as a measure taken by
[00:10:12] local authorities after reports of looting
[00:10:16] in commercial establishments.
[00:10:18] However, of course, the hope continues, not only for
[00:10:21] volunteers but also for rescuers to find
[00:10:25] any sign of life under the rubble.
[00:10:28] A baby of just months was found
[00:10:32] under the ruins, under tons of rubble,
[00:10:36] and also in the early hours of today, a man of about
[00:10:39] 35 years old was rescued from under the ruins,
[00:10:43] all this while, of course, international solidarity continues
[00:10:47] to arrive, one of these from the United States that
[00:10:51] announced an aid package of close to 15
[00:10:53] million to help precisely
[00:10:56] face this emergency, and meanwhile,
[00:11:00] government authorities are already joining
[00:11:03] efforts and deploying to the different
[00:11:06] affected departments. This is the information
[00:11:09] from Bogotá, Colombia. Adriana Cuestas for the Latin American
[00:11:13] News Alliance.
[00:11:15] And one of the most affected cities was Pereira, because at
[00:11:19] this moment there is a quite desolate panorama, the
[00:11:22] streets with buildings, the houses. totally collapsed,
[00:11:26] all the rescue efforts are also being carried out there, they
[00:11:29] are looking for the best way to continue
[00:11:31] moving forward.
[00:11:35] It is a tragedy that Pereira is experiencing at this hour, after a strong seismic
[00:11:38] movement that occurred in the morning hours, collapsed
[00:11:41] buildings, destroyed hotels, affected hospitals, collapsed
[00:11:45] homes, is what the city is experiencing at this hour,
[00:11:49] missing families, injured people who still have not received medical attention and true
[00:11:53] chaos because there are no communications.
[00:11:55] We have a child there and, but we also have people who are there because that was a
[00:11:58] bakery and that was a shelter for people, so there are still
[00:12:02] people there. Amidst tears, the mayor of Pereira, Mauricio
[00:12:06] Salazar, asked the national government for help. Man,
[00:12:09] it's a tragedy for the whole city, for thousands of
[00:12:12] families. Of course, we need the support of the national
[00:12:15] government, because now comes the reconstruction of the
[00:12:19] city, this needs the support of the national government.
[00:12:23] We are with... with intermittent communications, it has been difficult, the city is
[00:12:27] under curfew, classes in universities and schools have been suspended,
[00:12:31] priority has been given to missing people, the first
[00:12:35] rescue organizations are waiting to help amidst
[00:12:38] this tragedy that will mark the history of Pereira forever.
[00:12:42] Keep your faith in God and work hard
[00:12:45] for Pereira, very
[00:12:47] hard.
[00:12:57] Manizales was also affected, also the electricity
[00:13:01] supply and so on, and one of its main beauties, like the
[00:13:05] cathedral, was seen destroyed in images,
[00:13:08] rescue and relief efforts are also progressing there for the
[00:13:12] people who are inside the
[00:13:14] rubble.
[00:13:19] This is the historic center of Manizales, houses and
[00:13:23] was built, they have, but some are mortally
[00:13:27] wounded, the center has a very large impact of rubble because the eaves of a
[00:13:30] historic center fall very easily on
[00:13:34] the religious buildings that are cultural,
[00:13:37] that are historical, the most iconic of them, the
[00:13:41] cathedral which suffered the collapse of one of its
[00:13:44] towers, but it is not the only one, like this
[00:13:47] dozen of buildings that are architectural heritage
[00:13:51] were affected here in the historic center of Manizales, at this hour
[00:13:54] a... group of architects and structural
[00:13:58] the area to determine the state of these properties, the idea is
[00:14:02] to make an initial diagnosis of each of them, of those that are
[00:14:06] evident in a
[00:14:08] way from the perspective of
[00:14:12] the day and then make an intervention from the part of
[00:14:16] structural engineers to evidence their latent deterioration in
[00:14:20] each of them. Many will not be able to return to their homes like Don
[00:14:23] Antonio Acevedo, no, blessed be the Lord. I am more
[00:14:27] sure here where I am standing than inside, it is uninhabitable
[00:14:30] now, blessed yes, uninhabitable, I am
[00:14:34] waiting for my daughter to arrive with clothes and everything to go
[00:14:38] somewhere else. There is still no consolidated figure of the affected properties
[00:14:41] in the historic center, but from the Secretariat of Culture
[00:14:45] they regret that a large part of these centennial
[00:14:48] buildings may disappear.
[00:14:51] Cali was also the epicenter of the destruction and...
[00:14:55] specifically the various hospitals operating there,
[00:14:58] including important hospitals, where also,
[00:15:02] according to what was indicated, the patients were affected. There in the
[00:15:05] Valle del Cauca we also have
[00:15:07] a report,
[00:15:11] the hospital of El Águila, how sad, without a roof,
[00:15:14] walls, and without windows, that's how the San Rafael hospital, located in the
[00:15:17] municipality of El Águila in the north of the valley, was left after the
[00:15:20] earthquake. That's how another part of the
[00:15:23] hospital was left, quietly. A box fell, a
[00:15:26] box fell, we are without gas, without water, without electricity, without
[00:15:30] telephone communications, and
[00:15:33] there is already a lady who, unfortunately, also died due to the
[00:15:37] collapse of a wall. The structure of the
[00:15:41] first-level hospital was destroyed. Fortunately, the patients
[00:15:44] and medical staff who were there managed to get out before the walls
[00:15:48] collapsed.
[00:15:53] The debris from this and other buildings in the urban area of El
[00:15:56] Águila ended up on the streets, bricks fell on
[00:15:59] vehicles. In this municipality there is a count of about 300
[00:16:03] homes in the rural area affected, among them
[00:16:05] an educational institution. Here also where the rabbits are, right?
[00:16:09] Here we have rabbits and fattening birds, it was also left
[00:16:13] in ruins. The panorama also
[00:16:17] worsens in Roldanillo where they declared a public calamity. This is how the
[00:16:20] interior of the San Antonio Departmental
[00:16:22] Hospital was left.
[00:16:25] The institution was left practically disabled in several of its areas such as
[00:16:28] external consultation, dentistry, central appointments, vaccination and
[00:16:32] hospitalization, the latter being of special importance for patient
[00:16:35] care. We need that community support.
[00:16:39] External consultation is restricted for now.
[00:16:42] In the center of the municipality, around three blocks, dozens of homes and commercial
[00:16:46] premises were left with serious damage to their infrastructure. Parts of buildings
[00:16:49] such as the mayor's office collapsed, as did the colonial
[00:16:53] buildings. We also have a large part of the municipality's center, some
[00:16:56] buildings have to be completely demolished. The authorities have a
[00:17:00] preliminary figure of about 150 affected families. Other
[00:17:04] municipalities such as Zarzal, El Cairo and La Unión also have structural
[00:17:07] damages. Local mayors ask for attention and aid for the
[00:17:21] be prevented?
[00:17:23] Graduation in Italy rekindles the comparison with other countries.
[00:18:17] Our story was built by people, neighbors helping
[00:18:20] neighbors, standing side by side with those who trust
[00:18:24] us, to protect what matters most and help build our
[00:18:27] communities, being there when needed
[00:18:31] most, across borders,
[00:18:34] across generations.
[00:18:37] still growing, still giving,
[00:18:41] still just getting started after
[00:18:44] 185 years.
[00:21:06] We continue with more information through Front Page,
[00:21:09] sudden death in young people has become
[00:21:13] increasingly frequent in recent times, but what does this situation
[00:21:16] have to do with, according to what has been explained by
[00:21:20] the medical side? Here it plays an important role.
[00:21:24] However, what to do when symptoms appear? Today on Front Page, we talk about your health, so
[00:21:28] be careful.
[00:21:36] It was last Friday that Efraín Román, 22 years old, died
[00:21:40] while practicing his sport, basketball. His unexpected
[00:21:44] death could be classified as what is
[00:21:46] known as sudden death. From a cardiology
[00:21:50] or cardiovascular point of view, sudden death is an arrhythmia that occurs
[00:21:53] suddenly, it is an electrical disorder of the heart that
[00:21:57] causes the heart to stop pumping, to stop doing its
[00:22:01] function, right, of supplying blood to our body, and
[00:22:04] automatically we have no blood supply, no
[00:22:07] circulation to the brain and the patient collapses. Although there can be other
[00:22:11] causes, you have to be careful with energy drinks that many
[00:22:15] use, and it is associated with high-performance
[00:22:18] exercise like competitive
[00:22:20] sports. There has been a lot of talk lately about energy drinks, that
[00:22:24] basically, ideally, athletes should consume drinks that
[00:22:28] have electrolytes rather than an energizing substance. The problem
[00:22:32] is that the caffeine content of that is very high, it stimulates the heart
[00:22:36] to work harder, exercise makes the heart work harder, lack
[00:22:40] of hydration makes the heart work harder and predisposes
[00:22:44] to an arrhythmia being triggered, obviously.
[00:22:47] It affects men more than women. And a medical
[00:22:51] examination is important, as are risk factors, that
[00:22:54] any person who is going to get involved in any type of physical activity should have a medical
[00:22:58] evaluation. If they are a patient over 35, 40 years old,
[00:23:02] make sure the famous factors we have talked about: hypertension,
[00:23:06] diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking. There are people who exercise
[00:23:09] but smoke, so it's a contradiction
[00:23:13] health, but they are smoking. So those little things in
[00:23:16] adult patients are important. In young patients: dizziness,
[00:23:20] loss of consciousness, chest pain, fatigue, any
[00:23:24] family member who has had a loss of consciousness and even worse, sudden
[00:23:27] death at a young
[00:23:28] age.
