[00:01:24] Fuel prices increase on the [00:01:27] island. Colombia continues rescue efforts after [00:01:31] earthquake, solidarity and rescue after the earthquakes [00:01:35] in different cities like these in [00:01:56] always with local news and this time with what was recently [00:02:00] indicated by the Colombian Consulate in Aruba, first [00:02:03] they emphatically thank [00:02:06] of this tragedy, my all the people, instances, organizations that [00:02:08] have come forward to help Colombians with [00:02:12] this earthquake, however they made it clear that aid is [00:02:16] directly related to the Colombian Red Cross and [00:02:20] provide information on how and where to donate, [00:02:22] donar, [00:02:24] the Colombian consulate here in Aruba provides a summary of the [00:02:28] information for Colombian citizens [00:02:31] residing on the island. The consulate reports that Colombian [00:02:35] authorities continue the process [00:02:37] the health center, while the of damage assessment and attention to [00:02:40] cases due to the emergency after an earthquake of magnitude [00:02:43] 7.4 and its aftershocks that occurred last Monday and have [00:02:47] especially affected the departments of Valle del Cauca, [00:02:50] Choco, Risaralda, Caldas and Antioquia. Given the [00:02:54] inquiries from people residing in Aruba who wish to [00:02:57] locate or establish contact with family and loved [00:03:01] ones in Colombia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports [00:03:05] that the channel enabled for these requests [00:03:08] is the Colombian Red Cross. The email is [00:03:13] capital of Valle del Cauca, the RCF@cruzrojacolombiana.org [00:03:16] also to whatsapp. + 57 [00:03:19] 321 213 [00:03:21] 9525. It is recommended to take into account that communications [00:03:25] may be affected in some of the most [00:03:28] impacted areas, so reestablishing contact [00:03:32] could take some time, likewise, the consulate [00:03:35] expresses its deep gratitude for the expressions of [00:03:38] solidarity and the offers of help received [00:03:41] in Aruba, individuals or organizations interested in [00:03:45] making donations, must do so exclusively [00:03:49] through the official channel of the Colombian Red Cross. The Consulate [00:03:53] of Colombia in Aruba emphasizes that it is not authorized to [00:03:57] directly receive money, goods or... [00:04:00] nations, Colombian authorities continue to assess the [00:04:03] needs arising from the emergency and, if [00:04:06] necessary, will inform about it through official [00:04:10] channels. The consulate expresses its sincere [00:04:13] gratitude to the government and people of [00:04:16] Aruba, to the consular corps, as well as the [00:04:18] institutions, organizations and citizens who have [00:04:22] expressed their solidarity and affection towards Colombia and the [00:04:26] affected families. Colombia deeply appreciates these [00:04:30] expressions of solidarity and [00:04:31] fraternity. [00:04:34] Changing the subject, Minister Wendrick Cecilia, Minister of [00:04:39] Pereira, it will be determined in Tourism, recently granted an interview to our colleagues at Telenoticia to talk about his [00:04:42] stance on the issue of steps or these electric [00:04:46] steps, knowing that most tourists [00:04:49] use this type of vehicle. [00:04:53] He closely follows [00:04:57] on a scooter and apparently, according to what his colleague Minister Dowers to take action against the activity of [00:07:42] every Wednesday of the month, oil prices have a [00:07:46] variant, this depending on the international crude oil level, because [00:07:50] as of today, Wednesday, August 2nd, it went [00:07:52] up again, [00:07:54] it had already been felt and the information had been released, it seems, about a possible [00:07:58] significant increase in the [00:08:01] price of gasoline, well, this is surely not a very positive [00:08:05] news for all drivers, since it [00:08:09] will represent an additional expense in the family budget. The [00:08:12] Department of Economic Affairs confirmed the [00:08:15] news yesterday, during the last year the price of [00:08:18] fuel has recorded more increases than reductions [00:08:21] due to the different global problems [00:08:25] that have affected prices. According to the report, the Ministry of [00:08:28] Finance, Economic Affairs and Primary Sector, announces the [00:08:32] new fuel sales prices that came into effect today, [00:08:36] Wednesday, August 12. Gasoline will be [00:08:39] 290.9 cents per liter. [00:08:43] an increase of 25.1 [00:08:45] cents, diesel, [00:08:47] 286.3 [00:08:50] per liter, an increase of 29.7 [00:08:52] cents, and kerosene was 256 [00:08:56] cents per liter, an increase of 19.4 [00:09:00] cents. In this context, it should be noted that most vehicles [00:09:03] in Aruba that run on gasoline will now have to pay [00:09:06] more. [00:09:12] We begin our international round, indeed in [00:09:16] Colombia, despite the fact that we are already on day three after this [00:09:20] unfortunate 7.4 magnitude earthquake that [00:09:23] affected several important cities, rescuers are still [00:09:26] there under the rubble, [00:09:30] trying to save lives. [00:09:33] The hours have been endless for the relief organizations that at this time in the [00:09:37] capital of the department of Risaralda continue to carry out [00:09:40] the search for some [00:09:42] victims and some people who apparently are alive, where nearly [00:09:46] 86 buildings collapsed in the central area of the city of [00:09:51] the next few hours which buildings must be [00:09:54] completely demolished to be able to restore electricity service, which is not [00:09:58] available in the capital of the department of Risaralda in about [00:10:01] 80% of the city, there is no water service [00:10:04] in about 22%, cell phone service is only [00:10:08] working at 10% and there is no gas service. [00:10:12] That's why at this time there is a food crisis, there is nowhere to [00:10:16] cook, no one selling food because restaurants [00:10:19] are closed, as are supermarkets, because they have to check the [00:10:23] structures, most of which were affected, so there is no [00:10:27] way to get food or cook it, that is, at this time what [00:10:31] the neighborhoods are needing is help with [00:10:34] food, water and some drinks that can [00:10:38] help them get through the night, families are spending the night almost [00:10:41] outside their homes hoping that [00:10:45] nothing else happens, but also watching over the little that was left in some of [00:10:48] them, the police have deployed a special squadron in the [00:10:52] city center and in some neighborhoods and the... success is [00:10:56] permanent, especially at night, watching and [00:10:59] protecting businesses, because many of the affected shopping centers [00:11:03] have all their products and items in these places and it has [00:11:07] not been possible to enter and retrieve them, it is hoped [00:11:10] that with the visit of the president of the republic, to the capital of the department of [00:11:13] Risaralda, the first aid will arrive, because there is also a very [00:11:17] serious problem, the hospitals were totally [00:11:20] affected, health centers and clinics, that is, at [00:11:24] this time in the San Jorge hospital, out of 10 operating rooms, only [00:11:28] two are operating and there are no supplies, no water and in some [00:11:31] clinics there is no electricity and no way to activate the [00:11:35] plants so that some [00:11:38] places can be activated to operate on people who were fractured or have some type of problem [00:11:42] and need urgent surgery. [00:11:45] Changing the subject, President Abelardo de la Espriella announced [00:11:48] various reliefs and also announced the plan that is [00:11:52] coming for Colombians, not only in the next 3 [00:11:55] months, but also in the next 12 months for [00:11:59] the situation that has arisen after the [00:12:01] earthquake, [00:12:05] I have given precise instructions to the Minister of [00:12:08] Housing, so that an economic relief [00:12:12] in public services is decreed for all affected people in [00:12:15] Risaralda for 3 [00:12:19] months, we are going to carry out this census and [00:12:22] we are going to grant this [00:12:25] possibility so that people can [00:12:27] have a break in the midst [00:12:31] heart was aching when I passed through the center of [00:12:34] Pereira and saw all those destroyed businesses, we have [00:12:38] to, Madam Vice Minister who is here, do whatever is [00:12:41] necessary within the framework of the law that authorizes us so that [00:12:45] these affected people have relief [00:12:48] in terms of paying for those public services, all [00:12:51] public services for 3 months for everyone. [00:12:57] second, we are at this moment [00:13:01] structuring the rental subsidy [00:13:04] program for people who lost their [00:13:08] homes, we need to conduct that census, [00:13:11] characterize those homes to proceed accordingly [00:13:14] and provide those people with a subsidy so they can [00:13:18] move, because surely the [00:13:22] hours pass and pass and the hardest part is the night. First because there is no [00:13:26] light in some of the main cities and second because [00:13:29] the distress begins to weigh even more on families [00:13:33] who lost everything during this [00:13:35] earthquake. [00:13:40] With tents, blankets, chairs and the light of a desolate [00:13:43] night, dozens of Caleños spent the hours after [00:13:47] the telluric movement that shook Colombia. [00:13:49] Colombia. [00:13:52] Some lost everything, others still [00:13:55] didn't know what was left of their homes, but almost [00:13:58] all shared the same fear, that an aftershock [00:14:02] would finish demolishing what the earthquake had left [00:14:05] standing. Our apartment was destroyed, the entire [00:14:08] building is destroyed, it cannot be, it cannot be [00:14:12] inhabited, it cannot be entered, and while some tried to [00:14:16] assimilate the loss, others traveled kilometers with a [00:14:20] single idea, to find their loved ones. Mr. [00:14:23] Javier Lenis drove for... more than 10 hours from [00:14:26] Envigado to Cali, he was not looking for his [00:14:29] belongings, he was looking for his mother, a 66-year-old [00:14:33] woman who had been trapped in a four-story [00:14:37] building in the Cuarto de Legua neighborhood in the south of the [00:14:40] city. He was the first to arrive at the place and found the building [00:14:44] totally collapsed uh, [00:14:48] the only thing that happened was to come immediately, there was nothing else to [00:14:52] do, by car, by car, I came by car with my. We came [00:14:55] immediately from Envigado and on the way [00:14:59] obviously listening to news, everything that was happening, stopping [00:15:03] to try to buy water, she is 66 years old, she has lived alone for a while [00:15:07] now, uh, my mom lives on the first floor of the [00:15:10] building, uh, [00:15:13] basically we are waiting to find some kind of signal, in the [00:15:16] streets the pain became a force, hands that had [00:15:20] never lifted a wall began to remove pieces of [00:15:24] concrete, neighbors who until yesterday did not know each other [00:15:27] organized to help then the most difficult moment [00:15:31] arrived, all fell silent, [00:15:34] rescuers asked for silence, [00:15:37] tools, no one spoke, for a few [00:15:40] seconds, Cali seemed to hold its breath [00:15:43] to hear a voice among the [00:15:45] rubble, [00:15:48] we are here rescuing uh trying to get [00:15:51] people out because this is an incredible thing, [00:15:55] we went, we did what we could do, which was to bring several [00:15:59] of the tools that are there, uh, [00:16:03] and we brought that equipment and [00:16:05] we came to help a while ago there were more than 300 people here from all of [00:16:09] Cali, [00:16:12] to that race against time firefighters and specialized teams [00:16:15] joined, arriving from different parts of the country, [00:16:19] there are more than 1300 people working in the capital of the [00:16:22] valley with their eyes on the most affected sectors, [00:16:26] Tequendama, El Refugio, Ciudad Capri and Cuarto de [00:16:30] Legua, there every minute counts, every [00:16:33] centimeter removed can open the way to a story that is not yet [00:16:37] over, well, we have some technological equipment that has [00:16:41] given us two markings at this moment, we have one [00:16:44] here in this front part and another in the back, uh, [00:16:48] we have in the civil aeronautics we have a very well [00:16:51] equipped rescue unit, we have [00:16:54] hydraulic equipment, lighting balloons, equipment for hazardous [00:16:58] materials because normally we have spills, [00:17:00] leaks. As we know, Cali is one of the [00:17:04] cities in Colombia that has an excellent medical [00:17:08] system and there are many clinics to which different countries worldwide [00:17:11] send their patients to receive medical attention, [00:17:15] well, when the earthquake occurred they literally had [00:17:19] to leave the buildings, medical patients [00:17:22] and others were evacuated, it was at [00:17:26] 7:34 in the [00:17:27] morning, [00:17:34] the Colombian Geological Survey reported an earthquake with a magnitude [00:17:38] of 7.4 and a depth of 96 [00:17:41] km. The epicenter was located in San José del [00:17:45] Palmar, in Choco. In Cali, the tremor generated some of [00:17:49] the most shocking images. [00:18:00] Between fear and anguish, many people left their homes and [00:18:04] workplaces. Meanwhile, at the University [00:18:07] Hospital of Valle, patients and medical staff had to [00:18:11] continue care outside [00:18:15] earth movement was still felt. From the [00:18:18] highest areas of Cali, the magnitude of the emergency became even [00:18:22] more exposed. The images allowed to gauge the impact [00:18:26] of the earthquake and the damages it left in its [00:18:28] wake. In sectors such as La Alameda, in the very center of the [00:18:32] city, relief organizations are working against the clock after [00:18:36] the collapse of a structure, emergency teams [00:18:39] are searching among the rubble for people [00:18:42] who remain trapped and are concentrating their efforts on [00:18:45] achieving their rescue. But the impact was not only in the [00:18:51] movement was also felt strongly in municipalities such as [00:18:54] Palmira, Buga, Cartago and Buenaventura, where authorities [00:18:57] are advancing in the assessment of damages and the [00:19:01] emergency has already left fatalities, including [00:19:04] minors. From Cauca, in Cali, we have [00:19:07] more or less 27 people [00:19:11] deceased, uh, the most painful, three, [00:19:14] four children, three in Calima de Arién, one [00:19:18] in Yumbo and there is another girl very, [00:19:21] very, very seriously injured, uh, we have [00:19:24] destruction of houses and buildings [00:19:27] in all municipalities of Valle del Cauca, in El Cairo, 80% of the [00:19:31] of El Cairo [00:19:35] is destroyed. [00:19:37] from Cali, Alejandro Eder reported that there are at least 20 [00:19:41] collapsed structures with trapped people, so the [00:19:44] relief organizations are working in different parts of the [00:20:43] Our story was built by people, neighbors helping [00:20:46] neighbors, standing side by side with those who trust [00:20:50] us to protect what matters most and help build our [00:20:53] communities, being there when needed [00:20:57] most, across borders, [00:21:00] across generations, [00:21:04] still growing, still giving, [00:21:07] still just getting started after [00:21:10] 185 [00:21:11] years.

[00:23:16] show you a mattress that is special for those people [00:23:20] perhaps in their third age who cannot control either the urinary [00:23:24] part or the fecal part, today in Primera Plana we talk about your [00:23:27] health, so [00:23:28] take [00:23:36] care of it. It was as a result of a disc [00:23:39] surgery years ago that made José Luis Martínez think [00:23:43] and came up with the idea of designing and creating a mattress with a [00:23:46] system that patients could use to discharge their [00:23:50] biological needs without having to get out of [00:23:53] bed, that's where the mattress with the [00:23:57] urinal sanitary system was born, while in the hospital, I found myself in [00:24:01] difficult situations where, well, [00:24:04] when it was time for me to go to the bathroom or relieve myself [00:24:08] naturally, I had to carry the [00:24:11] connected monitors, but there are those who don't have families, who don't [00:24:15] have anyone to assist them, so those [00:24:18] people suffer from... ulcers and suffer from many things, [00:24:22] many needs, an accidental [00:24:25] fall when they get up from bed, so he set about the task [00:24:29] of creating the plans and the design that could adapt [00:24:33] to any mattress, it already provides the [00:24:36] area to place the waste [00:24:39] system, the cushion is removed and the [00:24:43] spacer is put in, the function of the spacer is [00:24:46] to prevent the mattress from compressing with the [00:24:50] people because if it compresses then we have an accident [00:24:53] there, this also at the same time [00:24:56] turns over, in case the patient wants to relieve themselves sitting [00:25:00] with their feet to the side, so underneath [00:25:04] this carries this which is the [00:25:06] reservoir where the waste falls, where [00:25:09] the fluids fall, [00:25:13] this carries a check valve as we can see here to prevent [00:25:17] odors from rising, the [00:25:20] odors are kept there, this disconnects [00:25:23] below the [00:25:26] tank, this is like a little hose that connects here and you [00:25:30] remove it to clean it with your [00:25:32] lid,
