[00:00:02] us directly to Buenos Aires, Argentina, thanks
[00:00:06] to Aerolineas Argentinas.

[00:00:37] And speaking of Guinness Records, I'd also like to introduce you
[00:00:41] to this young man who received a tremendous award for solving a Rubik's
[00:00:45] Cube, but with his eyes closed.
[00:00:49] Tommy Cherry again inscribed his name in the world
[00:00:52] record books by registering the fastest time to solve
[00:00:56] a rotating 3x3 Rubik's Cube with his eyes
[00:01:00] blindfolded in 11.56
[00:01:02] seconds. The 21-year-old student from the United
[00:01:05] States achieved this mark within the framework of an official competition in
[00:01:09] a discipline he has dominated since 2021. Cherry
[00:01:13] began his journey in this record on August 5 of that year in
[00:01:16] Palm Beach County with a time of
[00:01:20] 15.27 seconds. Since then, he has
[00:01:22] repeatedly surpassed his own record. There, both
[00:01:26] competitors, along with Charlie, share the record for the fastest
[00:01:30] average time to solve the same type of
[00:01:34] cube with their eyes
[00:01:37] blindfolded. And I leave you with these images
[00:01:41] of a young Argentine who lives in Italy and shows how traditions
[00:01:44] change from one country to another, specifically between the cultures
[00:01:47] of the continents. For example, in Latin America we have the
[00:01:50] custom that when a young person graduates, eggs, flour,
[00:01:54] and paint are thrown at them. However, in Italy, they are given a laurel
[00:01:57] wreath and must wear it throughout the
[00:02:00] day. A video by user Juan
[00:02:05] yes, they do it from the heart. This is what Navarro about graduations in Italy gained circulation on TikTok
[00:02:08] after showcasing the differences between university celebrations
[00:02:11] in Italy and in other countries, such as
[00:02:15] Argentina, based on a celebration in which
[00:02:17] he participated with a friend who had just received
[00:02:21] her graduation. The publication highlighted a ritual
[00:02:25] known as Laurea and accumulated thousands of views. The
[00:02:28] episode gained momentum in recent days, from the moment the
[00:02:32] creator, who resides in Italy and frequently publishes
[00:02:35] scenes of daily life, shared the material on his account.
[00:02:39] devastation of what The Italian university celebration maintains public
[00:02:43] customs that differ from the model in
[00:02:45] South America. Unlike, for example, Argentina, where they throw eggs,
[00:02:49] sand, and paint at you when you finish university, here
[00:02:54] with the support, and it must be mentioned, it simply shows how people use some central symbols known
[00:02:58] as laurea, a crown.
[00:03:06] attending to everything He pointed out that the graduate usually wears it throughout the
[00:03:10] day.
[00:03:13] This concludes our broadcast for today. From all our team that makes
[00:03:17] Primera Plana possible, we want to thank you as always for your faithful
[00:03:20] viewership. You can follow us on social media on Facebook as Primera Plana
[00:03:24] con Alejandra Forero. Continue with the good programming that
[00:03:27] morning with members we have here on your channel on Telearuba. We'll see you tomorrow on our next broadcast.
[00:04:17] different. This earthquake, unlike
[00:04:37] movements, you are experiencing them right now on collection of whatever
[00:06:50] We are CNN, the world leader in news.
[00:07:08] Hello, how are you? Rey
[00:07:11] Rodríguez greets you. My colleague Fernando del Rincón,
[00:07:14] host of this program, on behalf of Fernando
[00:07:17] del Rincón, I welcome you to this program
[00:07:21] "Conclusiones." I'll go with the headlines. The
[00:07:25] death toll from the earthquake in Colombia rises
[00:07:28] tonight to more than 200 people, according to CNN
[00:07:32] calculations with official data. But just as there are
[00:07:36] images of destruction and devastation, there are also
[00:07:39] scenes that call for optimism,
[00:07:43] of people, including babies of a few months from under the
[00:07:47] rubble, as well as the solidarity of Colombians themselves,
[00:07:50] many of them abroad, and the international
[00:07:54] community.
[00:07:55] And the former president of Honduras, Juan
[00:07:59] Orlando Hernández, faces a new judicial process now
[00:08:02] in his country. The Attorney General will join us
[00:08:06] in this program to talk about it. This is how we begin
[00:08:09] "Conclusiones." And I ask you from
[00:08:25] this moment on to join me using
[00:08:28] the hashtag conclu terremoto colombia.
[00:08:30] Remember that I receive all your comments on
[00:08:34] my X account, the social network previously known as Twitter,
[00:08:37] @reycn.
[00:08:39] the city of Cali. But let's hear
[00:09:13] how the firefighters in Cali explain
[00:09:17] this rescue. We found a
[00:09:20] patient named
[00:09:22] Carlos, 34
[00:09:26] years old, trapped here in this gallery
[00:09:29] under that beam that you see there, and this
[00:09:33] column. This column here was supporting the beam, and he was already
[00:09:36] inside, one of his upper right limbs stuck there, and...
[00:09:40] the rest trapped under this rubble. The work that was done
[00:09:43] was to penetrate all the pile,
[00:09:46] extract the rubble to open up enough
[00:09:49] space and extract our patient.
[00:09:53] Well, and in the midst of the chaos and
[00:09:55] destruction, a voice from the
[00:09:58] rubble changed everything. Watch the moment
[00:10:01] Brian Osorio and six other civilians
[00:10:05] rescue a baby from the
[00:10:09] rubble. Let's see. Watch
[00:10:13] out for that wall,
[00:10:16] guys.
[00:10:29] Brian Osorio heard that near his office, a
[00:10:32] building had collapsed. Despite the danger,
[00:10:36] he decided to approach, look for survivors, and among the rubble,
[00:10:40] he heard a man calling for help. He asked him to
[00:10:43] shout louder to be able to locate him, but the man
[00:10:47] was not alone; he had a baby with him. Brian told
[00:10:50] CNN that he did not stop even though he knew that many
[00:10:54] things could go wrong. Together with six other civilians, they managed
[00:10:58] to rescue the baby and take him to the rescuers, as you see him on
[00:11:02] the screen. And while Colombia continues to count
[00:11:06] the damages, the government announces economic aid for those affected by the
[00:11:09] earthquake. President Abelardo de la
[00:11:12] Espriella ordered relief in public services for 3
[00:11:16] months for the affected people in the department of
[00:11:19] Risaralda, where the city of
[00:11:23] Pereira is located. Those who lost their homes will also receive support
[00:11:27] to pay for temporary rent. The government
[00:11:30] assures that the priority now is to respond to the affected
[00:11:33] families and later address the repair and
[00:11:37] reconstruction. Well, and the number of victims does not
[00:11:41] stop growing. There are already more than 200 dead, more than
[00:11:45] 70 aftershocks registered after the earthquake
[00:11:48] on Monday. I'll talk about it with my first guest
[00:11:51] tonight. And I welcome
[00:11:59] Álvaro Gómez. He is the communications director
[00:12:02] of the Cali Fire Department. Álvaro, we saw
[00:12:06] images, I tell you, I get
[00:12:09] goosebumps seeing
[00:12:12] the work you are
[00:12:16] doing, and in the midst of so much destruction, so much
[00:12:19] sadness from the disaster we have seen, we see these things.
[00:12:23] Things that, of course, fill us with optimism.
[00:12:26] Tell me how the work is going, what you have
[00:12:29] done, and well, how far you have gone
[00:12:33] and will go in the coming hours, in the coming
[00:12:36] days. Go ahead. Well, greetings to you and to all
[00:12:40] the audience. Thank you for the space. Thank you for having us
[00:12:44] here. As you well say, it has been days,
[00:12:47] well, since yesterday, we have been working
[00:12:51] for more than 24 hours, much more
[00:12:53] arduously, where our fire
[00:12:57] units have been in the field
[00:13:00] with this
[00:13:04] has been our city, our beloved city of
[00:13:07] Cali. We, as firefighters,
[00:13:10] together with the other relief organizations, have been
[00:13:14] very compatible and united, also
[00:13:19] of the citizens, who are very supportive. If we excel at something
[00:13:23] in Cali and in Colombia, it is that we are very supportive.
[00:13:25] We have been there, at the
[00:13:29] emergency,
[00:13:31] that our citizens have needed.
[00:13:35] And well, we continue to do so. We continue right now
[00:13:39] from our institution,
[00:13:41] working for Cali, working right now for our
[00:13:43] city.
[00:13:48] Álvaro, I was talking this
[00:13:52] of the Topos Mexico organization. I imagine you've heard
[00:13:56] of them at some point. They are some of the
[00:13:59] most experienced in this type of rescue work,
[00:14:02] and they have, well, they have
[00:14:06] worked and cooperated in disasters
[00:14:09] around the world. I told him they were going to Colombia, and he told
[00:14:13] me, "Well, in Colombia, there is a lot
[00:14:15] of experience, and we are waiting for them to
[00:14:18] tell us." Do you think you have the conditions to
[00:14:21] face the magnitude of this problem, Álvaro? Well,
[00:14:25] we have, we have here in Colombia and in
[00:14:29] Cali specialized urban search and rescue groups.
[00:14:32] In Santiago de Cali, we are
[00:14:35] accredited. A group called Usarcol
[00:14:38] 18. Precisely, the flag is here behind me,
[00:14:42] and we have a specialized team
[00:14:44] that we have prepared and trained with all the
[00:14:48] capabilities we have to be able to deal with
[00:14:51] this type of emergency. However, it is also true
[00:14:55] that we have devastation, and therefore,
[00:14:57] we have requested through the municipal risk management system
[00:15:01] of the mayor's office of Santiago de Cali national aid from
[00:15:05] other relief organizations. Therefore, we have here
[00:15:09] firefighters, not only Cali firefighters. We have Jumbo firefighters, Popayán
[00:15:12] firefighters. We have
[00:15:16] Bogotá, and not only firefighters but other relief organizations
[00:15:19] such as COL 1, which is like the
[00:15:23] Colombian national search and rescue team.
[00:15:26] So, while it is true that we have our units
[00:15:30] prepared and we have a reaccreditation
[00:15:33] of COL 18,
[00:15:35] of Usarcol 18, and we are
[00:15:38] prepared, of course, the more
[00:15:41] hands we have, the better, because we really have a
[00:15:44] city that is quite
[00:15:47] affected by the earthquake. So those are the hands that have
[00:15:51] been helping us.
[00:15:53] One sees the images and the truth
[00:15:57] is that one does not stop being amazed, but you are there,
[00:16:00] Álvaro, you have been there from the
[00:16:03] very first moment of this situation,
[00:16:07] attending to emergencies, being there
[00:16:11] on the ground. Tell us how the situation is
[00:16:15] today and what we can expect in the
[00:16:18] coming hours.
[00:16:21] Well, we go out into the streets of Santiago de Cali, what we see
[00:16:24] are collapsed structures, what we see
[00:16:28] are many affectations,
[00:16:32] of homes, of buildings, of commercial
[00:16:35] places, people under the
[00:16:39] rubble, places with more than
[00:16:42] 20 affected people. We see
[00:16:45] victims, we see people who are
[00:16:48] really having a hard time, but also with
[00:16:52] this I want to highlight that we see solidarity,
[00:16:56] we see unity among the people of Cali, we see solidarity
[00:16:59] from citizens helping out, we see people
[00:17:03] who are with us,
[00:17:06] and not only giving us a word of encouragement, but
[00:17:09] bringing a plate of food, a sandwich, a drink,
[00:17:13] an item we need, a flashlight, knee pads, everything.
[00:17:17] So we have not only focused
[00:17:19] on seeing this part of the challenge, which is
[00:17:23] big, but the solidarity of the
[00:17:26] citizens. We have a supportive city, we have a
[00:17:29] united city, we have a city that helps
[00:17:33] us, that rejoices with us when
[00:17:35] we rescue a victim.
[00:17:39] They celebrate with us,
[00:17:43] we also want to highlight, not
[00:17:46] only the affectations and the destruction, but also
[00:17:49] to thank Santiago de Cali for the support they have always given
[00:17:53] us as an institution and for the support they give to the victims, of
[00:17:56] course.
[00:18:00] I would like to ask you because we have also seen images
[00:18:03] that have been
[00:18:06] circulating in the last few hours, for example, of buildings
[00:18:10] that are still standing, but
[00:18:13] in the course of hours, they collapse like houses of
[00:18:17] cards. Really,
[00:18:20] they don't hold up. I wonder,
[00:18:23] do you have as a fire
[00:18:27] department, evacuation plans, to tell
[00:18:31] people to get them out of what constitutes a
[00:18:34] danger? That's one thing, Álvaro, and on the other hand, and I repeat because I'm running out of
[00:18:38] time, where do you take these people? Where are they
[00:18:42] sleeping out in the open, in
[00:18:45] parks? Are there shelters? Are these
[00:18:48] sufficient? Where are you taking them? Tell me all
[00:18:51] about it. Okay. Well,
[00:18:54] we, the
[00:18:57] buildings,
[00:18:59] many of them have technical inspections carried out by
[00:19:03] Cali firefighters, which is the responsibility of each administrator.
[00:19:07] This technical inspection process must include its
[00:19:11] safety system, its evacuation
[00:19:14] plans, everything necessary. Yes,
[00:19:17] not many have them. Many structures do not have
[00:19:20] seismic resistance, and this has caused them to possibly
[00:19:24] collapse. Let's remember that
[00:19:26] there are many old structures, so
[00:19:30] that may have caused some of them to collapse.
[00:19:33] At the same time, there are affectations due to the aftershocks
[00:19:36] that come after the
[00:19:39] earthquake itself. So, it is possible that
[00:19:42] after the earthquake, and we have already had the situation
[00:19:46] that with any aftershock, however
[00:19:49] minimal, there may be some weakened structure, and of
[00:19:53] course, it will collapse at some point. The people,
[00:19:56] as I told you, we have had a lot of
[00:19:59] support from people, but we have also been very united with other
[00:20:03] organizations, other entities at the municipal
[00:20:06] level. And collection centers have been set
[00:20:10] up for food collection, for supply collection, for
[00:20:14] is needed. We are looking for ways to create temporary
[00:20:18] shelters as well. So yes, the idea
[00:20:22] is that we are overcoming this calamity little
[00:20:26] by little. The people, well, we try to ensure
[00:20:30] that, although it is a challenge, they are well,
[00:20:32] they are well, they are sheltered,
[00:20:35] and as I said, in the end, we are all
[00:20:39] working in close coordination with the different
[00:20:42] relief agencies and the different municipal
[00:20:45] entities to ensure that these people do not have such a hard
[00:20:49] time.
[00:20:53] Álvaro, my gratitude, my
[00:20:56] gratitude for the work you do and,
[00:20:59] of course, for putting your lives at risk so many times.
[00:21:03] Álvaro, thank you. That was Álvaro Gómez, communications
[00:21:07] director of the Cali Fire Department. I'm going to have to take a break,
[00:21:11] but we'll be back with much more information. Don't
[00:21:12] go away.
[00:21:22] "the history of life is right
[00:21:25] here, this is our planet, this is our
[00:21:28] home,
[00:21:30] wow, the size of this
[00:21:32] animal,
[00:21:36] water has the ability to absorb, to
[00:21:39] cleanse, to migrate, move, that's nature's
[00:21:42] magic, to see sight like
[00:21:45] this gives you such incredible
[00:21:48] hope. you put your mask on, you get into
[00:21:52] the water, and you just have this whole world open up to
[00:21:55] you. The ocean is still the greatest
[00:21:58] part of this planet. It's time to start giving
[00:22:01] back. You can wake up every morning with one single
[00:22:05] priority and save the most important place on earth. Every one of us
[00:22:09] can create change, and that starts really young. This is
[00:22:12] ambitious, it's bold, brave, and it's
[00:22:15] necessary.
[00:22:22] Here at CNN, the news is first.

[00:22:28] already secured the funds for the Department of Homeland Security. When
[00:22:32] there is a lot at stake, we eliminate the noise to
[00:22:35] inform you clearly about the issues and policies that
[00:22:38] impact you, from the decisions made in Washington to
[00:22:41] their repercussions throughout the United States, Latin America,
[00:22:45] and the world. Where do relations stand? Relations with the United States.
[00:22:49] Relations between the United States and Cuba have always been
[00:22:53] abnormal. Directo USA is that window through
[00:22:56] which you can enter the United States and see what is happening in this
[00:22:59] country. We follow the story from all angles
[00:23:03] to bring you the facts directly. Pro-immigrant
[00:23:07] groups filed a
[00:23:10] lawsuit from our studios in Washington. I'm Juan Carlos
[00:23:13] López. Join me on Directo USA Monday to Friday
[00:23:16] on CNN. and the city of Pereira,
[00:24:44] one of the most affected by this earthquake. John Milton
[00:24:48] Quintero, a resident of that city, is there to
[00:24:51] tell us how the hours after
[00:24:55] this earthquake, this strong, strong earthquake, are
[00:24:58] being experienced. Milton, thank you for the
[00:25:01] space. I want you to tell
[00:25:04] me how these last hours have been for
[00:25:08] you, precisely after
[00:25:11] this misfortune. Go ahead.
[00:25:15] Rey, greetings to you and to all
[00:25:17] the viewers. Let's say the experience has
[00:25:21] been quite catastrophic. In the midst
[00:25:24] of everything, I was very lucky. Fortunately,
[00:25:28] let's say all my loved ones, including myself,
[00:25:32] are safe. However, the residence I live
[00:25:35] in was left uninhabitable. For about four to
[00:25:39] five months, I won't be able to occupy it because it suffered considerable
[00:25:43] damage. They obviously forced
[00:25:46] us to evacuate during that earthquake, which I felt as if
[00:25:49] it were... it actually lasted two minutes, I would say, but it felt
[00:25:53] like it had been 15 or 20 minutes. It was a
[00:25:56] feeling of helplessness, especially because
[00:25:59] in Pereira, we are relatively accustomed to tremors,
[00:26:03] soft tremors and so on. When that tremor
[00:26:05] started, I thought it was just another one, but when it
[00:26:09] extended, when it did not stop, when
[00:26:13] things in the apartment started
[00:26:16] to fall, when the walls started to
[00:26:19] movement did not stop, well, it was seconds of panic that,
[00:26:23] specifically with the recent experience in
[00:26:25] Venezuela, I thought we were going to experience, that
[00:26:29] I personally was going to experience a
[00:26:31] similar experience. The apartment was quite
[00:26:35] affected. I insist, with the
[00:26:38] luck that my mother and I, well,
[00:26:41] let's say, we came out well, thank God.
[00:26:45] However, in Pereira, a very complex situation is being experienced, especially in several
[00:26:49] neighborhoods such as Centenario, Avenida 30 de Agosto, Avenida
[00:26:52] Circunvalar. Many buildings have suffered,
[00:26:56] and many buildings are on the verge of collapsing,
[00:26:58] Rey.
[00:27:02] Let's see. You speak of the complex situation being experienced, of
[00:27:05] course, in Pereira, one of the most affected. But tell
[00:27:08] me about that very complex situation you are referring
[00:27:12] to, and I ask you, it may be a very simple question,
[00:27:15] but you are there, you are seeing minute by
[00:27:19] minute, hour by hour, everything that is happening.
[00:27:22] What is the greatest concern? Where are people
[00:27:25] going? How are they feeling
[00:27:28] it? In short, everything, everything. And for you,
[00:27:31] of course, what's next? No,
[00:27:35] the aftershocks, I believe, have been one of the main fears. This
[00:27:38] morning in Pereira, a 4.7 magnitude aftershock was registered
[00:27:42] at 11:30 in the morning.
[00:27:45] Indeed, buildings that are about to collapse, many have already
[00:27:49] done so in Bolívar Plaza, for example. I believe that has been one of the
[00:27:53] main fears, Rey, the aftershocks and
[00:27:56] above all, that help arrives quickly. In Pereira, as I have
[00:27:59] seen in communications from the mayor's office, several collection
[00:28:03] centers have been set up, one of them
[00:28:06] is in Consota, which is in the Cuba neighborhood. There are others that have been
[00:28:10] installed in the main Coliseum. There are also shelter centers where
[00:28:13] people have been able to attend, located in Cuba,
[00:28:17] in the main Coliseum as well. That is to say, there
[00:28:20] are several points that have been adapted so that, obviously, people
[00:28:24] can go to receive help. However, to answer your
[00:28:27] question, Rey, one of the main fears are the possible
[00:28:30] aftershocks and, obviously, the buildings that were
[00:28:34] quite damaged. There are still many people under the
[00:28:37] rubble, and the idea is, obviously, that the authorities, who
[00:28:41] are doing an excellent job, can continue with this
[00:28:45] help. But mainly, the issue of the
[00:28:48] aftershocks has been quite a source
[00:28:51] of fear for the
[00:28:52] community.
[00:28:56] What's next for you,
[00:28:57] Milton?
[00:29:01] Rey, excuse me. I didn't hear you, can you repeat please?
[00:29:04] Yes, I was asking you,
[00:29:07] one, what's next for you, and of course, a question
[00:29:10] that always, every time there is this type of emergency, is brought to the
[00:29:14] table: Are we, and this includes all of us, because
[00:29:17] also, for example, in Mexico and in other parts, in Venezuela, we just
[00:29:21] saw it too, well, these
[00:29:25] are places where these types of events occur
[00:29:28] more and more frequently, and the question is, are we
[00:29:31] prepared to face these
[00:29:35] emergencies? Rey, I feel that we are
[00:29:38] never going to be prepared, no matter how much training
[00:29:41] and how much pedagogy is done. I experienced
[00:29:44] the Coffee Axis earthquake of 1999. I experienced it here in
[00:29:48] Pereira. I was born here in Pereira, and
[00:29:51] really, let's say,
[00:29:54] lessons are learned in the moment, I think,
[00:29:58] Rey. So one always talks afterwards about the importance of having
[00:30:02] a family plan, of having, for example, right now, when
[00:30:05] there is no electricity in many areas of the city, when there is no
[00:30:10] access to the internet, well, let's say that one
[00:30:13] reconfigures those plans. But I feel
[00:30:17] that it will always be
[00:30:20] the one I experienced in 1999, was even much
[00:30:23] harder, it was much longer, and I
[00:30:26] feel that regardless of whether one is prepared,
[00:30:30] pedagogically to know what to do in... those kinds of
[00:30:32] circumstances will never be enough because what you experience at that
[00:30:36] moment, that is, the
[00:30:40] the screen, these are moments of panic where
[00:30:43] effectively, uh, many of the things one has
[00:30:46] learned are not
[00:30:47] applied,
[00:30:50] totally, I totally agree, one is never prepared for this, but
[00:30:54] well, you have to try and prepare for these
[00:30:57] emergencies, thank you uh,
