[00:01:37] fall when they get up from
[00:03:18] to cook it. That is to say, at this hour what
[00:03:49] Welcome to our broadcast, I am Alejandra Forero, next
[00:03:52] up, front
[00:03:53] page.
[00:04:24] Welcome to our front page broadcast with Alejandra Forero,
[00:04:28] next up our segments.
[00:04:32] Colombian Consulate activates aid channels in
[00:04:35] Aruba, fuel prices increase on
[00:04:38] the island. Colombia continues rescue
[00:04:42] efforts after earthquake, solidarity and
[00:04:45] rescue after the earthquakes in different cities like these in
[00:04:49] Cali. At this time and every day, it is my
[00:04:53] pleasure to greet our viewers, always extending a
[00:04:56] warm welcome to our front page broadcast with
[00:05:00] Alejandra Forero. With great pleasure we greet you every
[00:05:03] day, you who are always tuned in to Front Page with
[00:05:07] Alejandra Forero. We always start with local news and this
[00:05:10] time with what was indicated recently by the Colombian
[00:05:14] Consulate in Aruba. First, they emphatically
[00:05:17] thank all the people, entities,
[00:05:20] organizations that have come forward to help Colombians with this
[00:05:24] earthquake. However, they made it very clear that
[00:05:27] aid is directly related to the Colombian
[00:05:31] Red Cross and they provide information on how and where to
[00:05:34] donate. The Colombian consulate
[00:05:38] here in Aruba provides a summary of the information aimed at
[00:05:41] Colombian citizens residing on the island. The
[00:05:45] consulate reports that the Colombian authorities continue with the
[00:05:49] assessment of damages and attention to cases
[00:05:52] due to the emergency after the 7.4 magnitude earthquake
[00:05:55] and its aftershocks that occurred last Monday and have
[00:05:59] especially affected the departments of Valle del Cauca, Choco,
[00:06:03] Rissaralda, Caldas, and Antioquia. Regarding
[00:06:06] inquiries from people residing in Aruba who wish
[00:06:10] to locate or establish contact with family and loved ones in
[00:06:14] Colombia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports that the
[00:06:17] channel enabled for making these requests
[00:06:20] is the Colombian Red Cross. The email is
[00:06:24] RCF@cruzrojacolombiana.org
[00:06:29] also to WhatsApp. + 57
[00:06:32] 321 213
[00:06:34] 9525. It is recommended to keep in mind that
[00:06:37] communications may be affected in some of the most
[00:06:41] impacted areas, so reestablishing contact could
[00:06:44] take some time. Likewise, the consulate
[00:06:47] expresses its profound gratitude for the expressions of
[00:06:51] solidarity and the offers of aid received
[00:06:54] in Aruba. Individuals or organizations interested in
[00:06:58] making donations must do so exclusively through
[00:07:02] the official channel of the Colombian Red Cross. The Consulate of
[00:07:05] Colombia in Aruba emphasizes that it is not authorized to
[00:07:09] directly receive money, goods, or donations.
[00:07:13] Colombian authorities continue to assess the needs
[00:07:16] arising from the emergency and if necessary
[00:07:19] will report on it through official channels. The
[00:07:23] consulate expresses its sincere gratitude to the government and the
[00:07:27] people, to the consular corps, as well as to the
[00:07:31] institutions, organizations and citizens who have
[00:07:34] expressed their solidarity and affection towards Colombia and the
[00:07:38] affected families. Colombia deeply appreciates these efforts.
[00:07:46] Changing topics, Minister Wendrick Cecilia, Minister of
[00:07:49] Tourism, recently granted an interview to our colleagues at
[00:07:53] Telenoticia to discuss his stance on the issue of
[00:07:57] e-scooters or these electric scooters, knowing that
[00:08:00] most tourists use this type of
[00:08:03] vehicles.
[00:10:55] every Wednesday of every month, oil prices fluctuate,
[00:10:58] depending on crude oil internationally, and
[00:11:02] as of today, Wednesday, August 2nd, they
[00:11:04] went up again.
[00:11:06] The information about a possible significant increase in gasoline
[00:11:10] prices had already been felt and announced. This is surely
[00:11:14] not very positive news for all drivers, as it will
[00:11:17] represent an additional expense in the family budget. The
[00:11:21] Department of Economic Affairs confirmed the
[00:11:25] news yesterday. Over the past year, fuel
[00:11:28] prices have registered more increases than reductions
[00:11:31] due to various global problems
[00:11:34] that have affected prices. According to the
[00:11:37] report from the Ministry of Finance, Economic Affairs and
[00:11:40] Primary Sector, the new retail prices for
[00:11:44] fuels, which came into effect today, Wednesday, August
[00:11:48] 12, are as follows: Gasoline will be at
[00:11:52] 290.9 cents per liter, an
[00:11:55] increase of 25.1
[00:11:57] cents. Diesel
[00:11:59] will be at
[00:12:02] 286.3 cents per liter, an increase
[00:12:05] of 29.7 cents, and kerosene
[00:12:08] is now 256 cents per liter, an increase
[00:12:12] of 19.4 cents. In this context, it is worth
[00:12:16] noting that most vehicles in Aruba that run on
[00:12:19] gasoline will now have to pay more.
[00:12:25] We begin our international round. Indeed, in
[00:12:28] Colombia, despite it being day three after this
[00:12:32] regrettable 7.4 magnitude earthquake that
[00:12:35] affected several important cities, rescuers are
[00:12:39] still under the rubble there,
[00:12:42] trying to escape with their lives.
[00:12:45] The hours have been endless for the relief organizations that at this time in the
[00:12:49] capital of the department of Risaralda continue to carry out
[00:12:52] search efforts for some victims and some people
[00:12:56] who apparently are alive, where about 86 buildings
[00:12:59] collapsed in the central area of the city of Pereira. It will be
[00:13:03] determined in the coming hours which buildings must be
[00:13:07] completely demolished to be able to restore electricity service, which is
[00:13:10] not available in the capital of the department of Risaralda in about
[00:13:14] 80% of the city. There is no water
[00:13:17] service in about 22%. Cell phone service is only
[00:13:21] working at 10% and there is no gas service, which is why
[00:13:25] at this hour there is a food crisis. There is nowhere to
[00:13:28] cook, no one to sell food because
[00:13:32] restaurants are closed, and so are supermarkets because they have to check the
[00:13:35] structures, most of which were affected. So there is no
[00:13:39] way to get food or
[00:13:43] the neighborhoods are needing is food
[00:13:46] aid, water and some drinks that can
[00:13:50] help them get through the night. Families are practically spending the
[00:13:54] night outside their homes hoping that nothing
[00:13:57] else happens, but also watching over the little that remained in some of
[00:14:01] them. The police have assigned a special squadron to the
[00:14:04] city center and some neighborhoods and the army is permanently
[00:14:08] deployed, especially at night, guarding and
[00:14:12] protecting businesses because many of the affected shopping centers
[00:14:15] have all their products and items in these places and it has
[00:14:19] not been possible to enter to retrieve them. It is
[00:14:22] expected that with the visit of the President of the Republic to the hospital of
[00:14:25] the department of Risaralda, the first aid will arrive, because there is
[00:14:29] also a very serious problem: the hospitals were completely
[00:14:32] affected, health centers and clinics. That is to
[00:14:35] say, at this time in San Jorge Hospital, out of 10 operating rooms, only
[00:14:39] two are operating and there are no supplies, no water
[00:14:43] and in some clinics there is no electricity or means to activate the
[00:14:47] generators so that some places can be activated
[00:14:50] to operate on people who suffered fractures or have some type of problem
[00:14:54] and need urgent surgery.
[00:14:57] Changing topics, President Abelardo de la Espriella announced
[00:15:01] various reliefs and also announced the plan that is
[00:15:04] coming for Colombians, not only in the next 3
[00:15:07] months, but also in the next 12 months for
[00:15:11] the situation that has arisen after the
[00:15:13] earthquake.
[00:15:17] I have given precise instructions to the Minister of
[00:15:20] Housing to
[00:15:24] decree economic relief in public
[00:15:28] services for all those affected in
[00:15:31] Risaralda for 3 months. We are
[00:15:34] going to conduct that census and grant that possibility
[00:15:38] so that people can have a
[00:15:41] respite in the midst of this tragedy. My heart ached
[00:15:45] when I passed through the center of Pereira and saw all those businesses
[00:15:49] destroyed. We have to, Madam Vice Minister who is
[00:15:52] here, do whatever is necessary within the framework of the law that
[00:15:56] authorizes us so that these affected people
[00:15:59] have relief in terms of paying for those public services, all
[00:16:03] public services for 3 months for all
[00:16:07] Risaraldenses. Second, we are
[00:16:10] currently structuring the
[00:16:13] rent subsidy
[00:16:16] program for people who lost their
[00:16:20] homes. We need to conduct that census
[00:16:23] to characterize those homes to proceed accordingly
[00:16:26] and provide those people with a subsidy so they can
[00:16:30] move. It is likely that as the hours
[00:16:32] pass, the night is the hardest, first
[00:16:36] because there is no electricity in some of the main cities
[00:16:40] and second because the anxiety begins to fall even more
[00:16:44] on the families who lost everything during this
[00:16:47] earthquake.
[00:16:52] With tents, sheets, chairs and the light of a desolate
[00:16:55] night, dozens of people from Cali spent the hours
[00:16:59] after the earthquake that shook Colombia.
[00:17:01] Some lost
[00:17:04] everything, others didn't know
[00:17:07] what was left of their homes, but almost
[00:17:11] all shared the same fear, that an aftershock
[00:17:14] would finish demolishing what the earthquake had left
[00:17:18] standing. Our apartment was destroyed, the entire building
[00:17:21] is destroyed, it cannot be, it cannot be
[00:17:25] inhabited, it cannot be entered, and while some tried to
[00:17:28] assimilate the loss, others traveled kilometers with a
[00:17:32] single idea, to find their loved ones. Don Javier
[00:17:36] Lenis drove for...
[00:17:43] 10 hours from Envigado to Cali, he wasn't looking for his belongings, he was looking for his mother, a 66-year-old
[00:17:45] woman who had been trapped in a four-story building
[00:17:49] in the Cuarto de Legua neighborhood south of the
[00:17:53] city. Upon arriving at the place, he found the
[00:17:56] building completely collapsed.
[00:18:00] Uh, the only thing that happened was to come immediately, there was nothing
[00:18:04] else to do. By car, by car, I came by car with my girlfriend. We
[00:18:07] came immediately from Envigado and on the
[00:18:10] way, obviously listening to news, everything that was
[00:18:14] happening, stopping to try to buy water. She is
[00:18:17] 66 years old, she has been living alone for some time. Uh, my mom
[00:18:21] lives on the first floor of the building. Uh,
[00:18:25] basically we are waiting to find some kind of sign. In the
[00:18:29] streets, the pain turned into a force, hands that had
[00:18:32] never lifted a wall began to remove pieces of
[00:18:36] concrete. People who didn't know each other yesterday
[00:18:39] organized to help, then the most
[00:18:43] difficult moment arrived. Everyone fell silent.
[00:18:46] Rescuers asked for silence, tools
[00:18:49] stopped, no one spoke. For a few
[00:18:52] seconds, Cali seemed to hold its breath
[00:18:56] to hear a voice among the
[00:18:58] rubble. We are here
[00:19:01] rescuing, trying to
[00:19:03] get people out, because it's an impressive thing.
[00:19:08] We went and did what we could do, which was to bring several
[00:19:11] of the tools that are there
[00:19:14] and we brought that equipment and
[00:19:18] came to help. A while ago there were more than 300 people here from
[00:19:21] all over Cali. Go, go. To this
[00:19:24] race against time, firefighters and specialized teams who
[00:19:28] arrived from different parts of the country joined. There are more than
[00:19:32] 1,300 people working in the capital of the
[00:19:35] valley with their eyes set on the most affected sectors:
[00:19:39] Tequendama, El Refugio, Ciudad Capri, and Cuarto de
[00:19:42] Legua. There, every minute counts, every
[00:19:46] centimeter removed can open the way to a story that is not yet
[00:19:50] over. Well, we have some technological equipment that has
[00:19:53] given us two markings at this moment. We have one
[00:19:56] here in the front part and another in the back. We
[00:20:00] at civil aeronautics have a very well-equipped
[00:20:04] rescue unit. We have
[00:20:07] public equipment, illumination balloons, equipment for dangerous materials, because
[00:20:11] normally we have spills, leaks,
[00:20:15] as we know, Cali is one of the cities in Colombia that has excellent
[00:20:18] medical service, and many clinics are
[00:20:22] sent patients from various countries worldwide to
[00:20:26] receive medical attention. Well, when the earthquake
[00:20:29] occurred, they literally had to leave the buildings,
[00:20:33] patients, doctors, and others were
[00:20:35] evacuated. It was at
[00:20:38] 7:34 in the
[00:20:39] morning,
[00:20:46] the Colombian Geological Service reported an earthquake with a
[00:20:50] magnitude of 7.4 and a depth of 96
[00:20:54] km. The epicenter was located in San José del
[00:20:57] Palmar, in Choco. In Cali, the tremor generated some of the
[00:21:01] most shocking images.
[00:21:13] Between fear and anguish, many people left their homes and
[00:21:16] workplaces. Meanwhile, at the university
[00:21:20] hospital of Valle, patients and medical staff had to
[00:21:23] continue care outside
[00:21:27] movement of the earth was still felt. From the
[00:21:31] highest areas of Cali, the magnitude of the emergency was even
[00:21:34] more exposed. The images allowed us to gauge the impact
[00:21:38] of the earthquake and the damages it left in its
[00:21:41] wake. In sectors such as La Alameda, in the very center of the
[00:21:44] city, relief organizations worked against the clock after
[00:21:48] the collapse of one.
[00:21:50] Emergency teams searched through the rubble for people who
[00:21:54] remained trapped and focused their efforts on
[00:21:58] achieving their rescue. But the impact was not only in the
[00:22:03] movement was also strongly felt in municipalities such as
[00:22:06] Palmira, Buga, Cartago and Buenaventura, where the
[00:22:10] authorities are advancing in the assessment of damages, and the
[00:22:13] emergency has already left mortal victims, among
[00:22:16] them minors. The department of Valle del
[00:22:20] Cauca, without Cali, we have more or less 27 deceased
[00:22:23] people, uh, the most painful, three, four
[00:22:27] children, three in Calima de Arién, one
[00:22:30] in Yumbo, and there is another girl who is very,
[00:22:34] very, very seriously injured. Uh, we have
[00:22:37] destruction of houses and buildings
[00:22:40] in all municipalities of Valle del Cauca. In El Cairo,
[00:22:43] 80% of El Cairo is
[00:22:47] destroyed. The mayor of Cali, Alejandro
[00:22:51] Eder, reported that there are at least 20 collapsed structures
[00:22:56] relief agencies are working at different points in the
[00:23:00] city. We'll go to our commercial break, but we'll be
[00:23:03] back with more information.
[00:23:55] Our story was built by people, neighbors helping
[00:23:59] neighbors, standing side by side with those who trust
[00:24:02] us to protect what matters most and help build our
[00:24:06] communities, being there when needed
[00:24:09] most, across
[00:24:11] borders, across
[00:24:13] generations,
[00:24:16] still growing, still giving, still...
[00:24:20] just getting started after 185 years.
[00:25:02] traveling through a Ruba airport soon as Gateway
[00:25:05] 2030 construction continues, the main shopping area is temporarily
[00:25:09] closed as we build the future of Aruba
[00:25:11] airport. However, restaurants, cafes
[00:25:15] and shops remain open throughout the gate areas, giving you plenty of
[00:25:19] options eat. drink and shop before your flight. Outside the
[00:25:23] terminal, passengers and visitors can also enjoy the AUA food
[00:25:26] truck plaza, along with a variety of other food and beverage
[00:25:30] options. Your journey continues while we build the
[00:25:34] future of Aruba airport.
[00:25:37] Aruba airport, your gateway to
[00:25:39] happiness.
[00:25:41] New Maybelline serum lipstick, maybe it's not just lipstick, it's
[00:25:45] serum infused lush color with a hyaluronic acid and oil
[00:25:48] blend for. 8-hour plumping moisture, new Maybelline serum
[00:25:52] lipstick.
[00:26:02] Maybe it's Maybelline.
[00:26:20] We continue with more information through First
[00:26:23] Page. As we know, technology is constantly
[00:26:27] advancing, and today we are going to show you a mattress that is
[00:26:31] special for those people who, perhaps in their old age, cannot
[00:26:34] control their urinary or fecal functions well.
[00:26:38] Today on First Page we talk about your health so take
[00:26:41] care of it.
[00:26:50] It was because of a disc surgery years ago that
[00:26:53] made José Luis Martínez think and come up with the idea of
[00:26:56] designing and creating a mattress with a system that
[00:26:59] patients could use to relieve their
[00:27:03] biological needs without having to get out of bed. That's
[00:27:07] where the mattress with the sanitary urinal
[00:27:10] system was born. Being in the hospital, I found myself in difficult
[00:27:14] situations where, well, every time I had to go to the bathroom
[00:27:18] to shower or had to relieve my biological needs,
[00:27:22] I had to carry the monitors connected. But there are those who
[00:27:26] don't have family, who don't have anyone to assist them,
[00:27:28] so those people suffer from
[00:27:32] ulcers and suffer from many things, many needs, an
[00:27:36] accidental
[00:27:39] bed. So he took on the task of creating the plans and the
[00:27:43] design that could adapt to any mattress. It
[00:27:47] already provides the area to place the waste
[00:27:51] system. You remove the cushion and
[00:27:55] put in the spacer. The function of the spacer is to
[00:27:58] prevent the mattress from compressing with the
[00:28:02] weight of the people, because if it compresses, we have an accident
[00:28:05] there. This also at the same time
[00:28:08] turns, in case the patient wants to do it sitting
[00:28:12] with their feet to the side, see? So underneath,
[00:28:16] this has this which is the
[00:28:19] reservoir where the waste falls, where the
[00:28:22] solids fall, where the fluids fall.
[00:28:25] This has a chest bar as we can see here to prevent the
[00:28:29] odors from rising. The
[00:28:33] odors stay there. This disconnects
[00:28:36] below the tank.
[00:28:39] This is like a hose that goes connected here and you
[00:28:43] take out the clean it with your
[00:28:44] lid.
[00:28:50] In our most viral section, we present these two young
[00:28:54] Spaniards who have traveled from France to Africa on
[00:28:57] scooters, and apparently, according to what they indicate, they would have committed
[00:29:01] several infractions that they will have to pay
[00:29:03] fines for.
[00:29:06] Two TikTokers began their journey on a stunt
[00:29:10] scooter and, according to local media, they had already
[00:29:13] committed several traffic violations during the trip.
[00:29:16] Recently, these two young Spaniards went viral
[00:29:19] for doing an extreme challenge. Traveling from
[00:29:22] France to Morocco on a scooter. Gorka
[00:29:26] Lasa and Evai Martín are two TikTokers
[00:29:29] specialized in the culture known as "scooter," which
[00:29:33] is a stunt scooter, and who share challenges through their
[00:29:36] TikTok. Last year, the young people traveled more than 1
[00:29:39] km from the city of San Sebastián to
[00:29:42] Paris. However, they wanted to make the journey much longer; they wanted
[00:29:46] to go from the French border to Morocco on
[00:29:49] a scooter. A minor detail is that the vehicle is not
[00:29:53] electric, which implies constant muscular
[00:29:56] effort. In the videos published on social networks, it can be seen that the
[00:29:59] influencers have traveled dangerous and unauthorized
[00:30:03] streets for this type of vehicle, crossing through
