[00:00:12] on a scooter and apparently, according to what
[00:00:33] to cook it, that is to say, at this time what
[00:01:45] headlines.
[00:01:47] lighting balloons, equipment for Consulate of Colombia activates help channels in
[00:01:50] Aruba. Fuel prices increase
[00:01:54] on the island. Colombia continues
[00:01:57] rescue efforts after earthquake. Solidarity
[00:02:01] and rescue after the earthquakes in different cities like these
[00:02:25] and this time with what was recently indicated by the
[00:02:28] Consulate of Colombia in Aruba. First, they
[00:02:31] emphatically thank all
[00:02:34] the midst of this tragedy. My the people, instances, organizations that have come forward to
[00:02:37] help Colombians with this earthquake.
[00:02:41] However, they made it very clear that help is directly
[00:02:44] related to the Colombian Red Cross and they provide details
[00:02:48] on how and where to donate.
[00:02:52] The Consulate of Colombia here in Aruba provides a summary of the
[00:02:56] information addressed to Colombian citizens
[00:02:59] residing on the island. The
[00:03:02] staff had to continue treatment Consulate reports that Colombian authorities continue with the process
[00:03:05] center, while the of evaluating damages and attending to
[00:03:08] cases due to the emergency after the 7.4
[00:03:11] magnitude earthquake and its aftershocks that occurred last Monday and that
[00:03:15] have affected, especially the departments of Valle del Cauca,
[00:03:18] Choco, Risaralda, Caldas and Antioquia. Given the
[00:03:22] inquiries from people residing in Aruba who wish to
[00:03:25] locate or establish contact with family and loved
[00:03:28] ones in Colombia. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
[00:03:32] informs that the channel enabled to make these
[00:03:35] requests is the Colombian Red Cross. The email
[00:03:39] is
[00:03:41] of Valle del Cauca, the RCF@cruzrojacolombiana.org
[00:03:44] also to WhatsApp + 57
[00:03:47] 321 213 95
[00:03:50] 25. It is recommended to take into account that communications may be
[00:03:54] affected in some of the most impacted areas, so
[00:03:58] reestablishing contact could take some time.
[00:04:01] Likewise, the consulate expresses its deep
[00:04:05] accidental when they get out of gratitude for the expressions of solidarity and the
[00:04:07] offers of help received in Aruba. People or
[00:04:11] organizations interested in making donations
[00:04:14] must do so exclusively through the official
[00:04:18] channel of the Colombian Red Cross. The Consulate of
[00:04:21] Colombia in Aruba emphasizes that it is not authorized to
[00:04:24] directly receive money, goods or
[00:04:27] prevent the mattress from compressing donations. Colombian authorities continue to evaluate
[00:04:31] the needs arising from the emergency and, if
[00:04:34] necessary, will report on it through official
[00:04:38] channels. The consulate expresses its sincere
[00:04:40] gratitude to the government and people of
[00:04:43] Aruba, to the consular corps, as well as to the
[00:04:46] institutions, organizations and citizens who have
[00:04:50] expressed their solidarity and affection towards Colombia and the
[00:04:53] affected families. Colombia deeply appreciates
[00:04:57] these expressions of solidarity and fraternity.
[00:05:01] Changing the subject, Minister Wendrick Cecilia, Minister of
[00:05:05] Tourism, recently granted an interview to our colleagues at
[00:05:08] Telenoticia to talk about his stance on the issue of
[00:08:12] oil prices have a variation, this depending
[00:08:15] on crude oil at the international level, well, as of today, Wednesday, August 2, it
[00:08:19] went up again.
[00:08:22] The information about a possible significant increase in gasoline
[00:08:26] prices had already been felt and made known.
[00:08:30] Well, surely this is not a very
[00:08:33] positive piece of news for all drivers, as it will
[00:08:36] represent an additional expense in the family budget. The
[00:08:40] Department of Economic Affairs confirmed the news yesterday.
[00:08:44] During the last year, the price of fuel has registered more
[00:08:48] increases than reductions due to the
[00:08:50] different problems worldwide that have affected prices, according to
[00:08:54] the report from the Ministry of Finance, Economic Affairs and Primary
[00:08:58] Sector, which announces the new selling prices of fuels that
[00:09:02] came into effect today, Wednesday, August
[00:09:05] 12. Gasoline will be
[00:09:07] 290.9 cents per liter, an increase
[00:09:11] of 25.1 cents. Diesel
[00:09:15] (286.3
[00:09:17] per liter, an increase of 29.7
[00:09:20] cents) and kerosene remained at 256 cents per
[00:09:24] liter, an increase of 19.4 cents.
[00:09:28] In this context, it is worth noting that the majority of vehicles in Aruba that
[00:09:32] run on gasoline will now have to pay
[00:09:34] more.
[00:09:40] We begin our international round. Indeed, in
[00:09:44] Colombia, despite being three days after this unfortunate
[00:09:47] 7.4 magnitude earthquake that
[00:09:51] affected several important cities, rescuers are
[00:09:54] still there under the rubble,
[00:09:57] trying to save lives.
[00:10:01] The hours have been endless for the relief agencies that at this time in the
[00:10:05] capital of the department of Risaralda, continue
[00:10:07] carrying out the search efforts for some victims and some
[00:10:11] people who apparently are alive, where about 86
[00:10:15] buildings collapsed in the central area of the city of Pereira. It will
[00:10:18] be determined in the coming hours which buildings must be
[00:10:22] completely demolished to be able to restore
[00:10:25] the electricity service that is not available in the capital of the department of Risaralda in about
[00:10:29] 80% of the city. There is no water service in about
[00:10:33] 22%, the cell phone service is only working
[00:10:37] at 10% and there is no gas service. That is why at this time
[00:10:41] there is a food crisis, there is nowhere
[00:10:43] to cook, there is no one to sell food because
[00:10:47] restaurants are closed as well as supermarkets because they have to check the
[00:10:51] structures, most of which were affected. So, there is
[00:10:55] no way to get food or
[00:10:58] the neighborhoods are needing is food,
[00:11:02] water and some drinks that can
[00:11:05] help them get through the night. Families are practically spending the
[00:11:09] night outside their homes, hoping that nothing
[00:11:13] else happens, but also watching over the little that remained in some of
[00:11:16] them. The police have established a special squadron in the
[00:11:20] center of the city and in some neighborhoods and the army is permanently present,
[00:11:23] especially at night,
[00:11:27] watching and guarding businesses because many of the affected shopping centers
[00:11:30] have all their products and items in these places
[00:11:34] and it has not been possible to enter to remove them. It is hoped
[00:11:38] that with the visit of the President of the Republic to the capital of the department of Risaralda
[00:11:41] the first aid will arrive, because there is also a very
[00:11:44] serious problem, the hospitals were totally
[00:11:48] affected, health centers and clinics, that is to say, at
[00:11:52] this time in the San Jorge hospital out of 10 operating rooms,
[00:11:56] two of them are operating and there are no supplies, no water and in some
[00:11:59] clinics there is no electricity or way to activate the
[00:12:02] generators so that some places can be
[00:12:06] activated to operate on people who were fractured or have some type of
[00:12:09] problem and need urgent surgery.
[00:12:13] Changing the subject, President Abelardo de laspirella announced
[00:12:16] various reliefs and also announced the plan that is
[00:12:19] coming for Colombians not only in the next 3
[00:12:23] months, but also in the next 12 months for the
[00:12:27] situation that has arisen after the
[00:12:28] earthquake.
[00:12:33] I have given precise instructions to the Minister of
[00:12:36] Housing, so that an economic
[00:12:39] relief in public services be decreed for all
[00:12:43] affected people in Risaralda for 3
[00:12:46] months. We are going to do that census and
[00:12:50] we are going to grant that possibility so that people
[00:12:54] can have a respite in
[00:12:59] heart was aching when I passed through the center of
[00:13:02] Pereira and saw all those destroyed businesses. We have
[00:13:06] to, Madam Vice Minister who is here, do whatever is necessary
[00:13:10] within the framework of the law that authorizes us so that these affected
[00:13:13] people have a relief in terms of paying
[00:13:17] those public services, all public services for
[00:13:21] 3 months for all Risaraldenses.
[00:13:25] Second, we are at this moment
[00:13:28] structuring the rental subsidy
[00:13:32] program for people who lost their
[00:13:36] homes. We need to carry out that census,
[00:13:38] characterize those homes to proceed accordingly
[00:13:42] and provide those people with a subsidy so that they
[00:13:46] can move.
[00:13:48] The hours surely pass and pass and the hardest part is the
[00:13:52] night, first because there is no light in some of the municipalities
[00:13:55] and cities, and second because the anguish begins to fall even
[00:13:59] more on families who lost everything during this
[00:14:02] earthquake.
[00:14:07] With tents, sheets, chairs and the light of a desolate
[00:14:11] night, dozens of people from Cali spent the hours after
[00:14:14] the earthquake that shook Colombia.
[00:14:17] Colombia.
[00:14:20] Some lost everything, others still did
[00:14:23] not know what was left of their homes, but almost all
[00:14:27] shared the same fear, that an aftershock
[00:14:30] would finish demolishing what the earthquake had left standing.
[00:14:33] Our apartment was destroyed, the entire
[00:14:36] building is destroyed, it cannot be inhabited, it cannot be entered,
[00:14:40] and while some tried to
[00:14:43] assimilate the loss, others traveled kilometers
[00:14:47] with one idea, to find their
[00:14:50] loved ones. Mr. Javier Lenis drove for more than 10 hours
[00:14:54] from...
[00:14:58] He wasn't coming to look for his belongings, he was coming to look for his mother, a 66-year-old
[00:15:01] woman who had been trapped in a four-story building
[00:15:05] in the Cuarto de Lengua neighborhood in the south of the
[00:15:08] city. The first one to arrive at the scene found the building
[00:15:12] completely collapsed.
[00:15:15] The only thing that happened was to come immediately, there was nothing
[00:15:19] else to do. By car, by car, by car with my boyfriend, we
[00:15:23] came immediately from Envigado and on the
[00:15:26] way, obviously listening to news, everything that was
[00:15:29] happening, stopping to try to buy water. She is
[00:15:33] 66 years old, she has lived alone for some time, eh, my mother
[00:15:36] comes from the first floor of the building.
[00:15:40] Basically, we are waiting to find some kind of sign. In the
[00:15:44] streets, pain became a force. Hands that had never
[00:15:48] built a wall began to remove pieces of
[00:15:51] concrete. Neighbors who until yesterday did not know each other,
[00:15:54] organized to help. Then the most difficult
[00:15:58] moment arrived. Everyone was silent.
[00:16:02] The rescuers asked for silence. The tools
[00:16:05] stopped. No one spoke. For a few
[00:16:07] seconds, Cali seemed to hold its breath
[00:16:11] to hear a voice from among the
[00:16:13] rubble.
[00:16:16] We are here helping eh trying to get
[00:16:19] people out because this is an impressive thing.
[00:16:23] We went, we did what we could do, which was to bring several
[00:16:27] of the tools that are there eh
[00:16:31] and we brought that equipment and
[00:16:33] we came to help. A while ago there were more than 300 people here from...
[00:16:40] Firefighters and specialized teams that arrived from
[00:16:43] different parts of the country joined this race against time.
[00:16:47] There are more than 1300 people working in the capital of the
[00:16:50] valley, with their sights set on the most affected sectors,
[00:16:54] Tequendama, El Refugio, Ciudad Capri and Cuarto de
[00:16:58] Lengua. There, every minute counts, every
[00:17:01] centimeter removed can open the way to a story that is not yet
[00:17:05] over. Well, we have some technological equipment that has given
[00:17:09] us two markings at this moment, we have one here in this front
[00:17:13] part and another in the back. Eh, we have
[00:17:16] a very well-equipped rescue unit in the civil
[00:17:20] aeronautics, we have hydraulic equipment,
[00:17:25] hazardous materials because normally we have spills,
[00:17:28] leaks. As we know, Cali is one of the
[00:17:32] cities in Colombia that has an excellent medical service and there are
[00:17:36] many clinics to which various countries worldwide
[00:17:40] send their patients to receive medical attention. Well, when
[00:17:44] the earthquake occurred, they literally had to
[00:17:46] leave the buildings, patients, doctors and
[00:17:50] others were evacuated. It was at
[00:17:53] 7:34 in the
[00:17:55] morning.
[00:18:02] The Colombian Geological Service reported an earthquake with a magnitude
[00:18:05] of 7.4 and a depth of 96
[00:18:09] km. The epicenter was located in San José del
[00:18:13] Palmar, in Choco. In Cali, the tremor generated some of the
[00:18:16] most shocking images.
[00:18:28] Between fear and anguish, many people left their homes and
[00:18:32] workplaces. Meanwhile, in the university hospital
[00:18:35] of Valle, patients and medical
[00:18:40] outside the medical
[00:18:43] movement of the earth was still felt. From the
[00:18:46] highest areas of Cali, the magnitude of the emergency was even
[00:18:50] more exposed. The images allowed us to understand the impact
[00:18:53] of the earthquake and the damage it left in its
[00:18:56] wake. In sectors such as La Alameda, in the very center of the
[00:19:00] city, emergency organizations are working against the clock after
[00:19:04] the collapse of a structure. Emergency teams
[00:19:08] are searching through the rubble for people who remain trapped and
[00:19:12] are focusing their efforts on achieving their rescue. But the
[00:19:15] impact was not only in the capital
[00:19:19] movement was also felt strongly in municipalities such as
[00:19:22] Palmira, Buga, Cartago and Buenaventura, where the
[00:19:25] authorities are advancing in assessing the damage and the
[00:19:29] emergency has already left fatalities, including
[00:19:32] minors. In the department of Valle del Cauca, without
[00:19:36] Cali, we have about 27 people
[00:19:39] deceased, eh, the most painful, three, four
[00:19:42] children, three in Calima de Arién, one
[00:19:45] in Jumbo and there is another girl with very,
[00:19:49] very, very seriously injured. Eh, we have
[00:19:52] destruction of houses and buildings
[00:19:55] in all the municipalities of Valle del Cauca, in El Cairo,
[00:19:59] 80% of El Cairo
[00:20:02] is destroyed. The mayor of Cali, Alejandro
[00:20:06] Eder, reported that there are at least 20 collapsed structures with
[00:20:10] trapped people, so emergency organizations are working
[00:20:14] in different parts of the city. We are taking
[00:20:17] a commercial break, but we will be back with more information.
[00:23:41] technology is constantly advancing and today we are
[00:23:44] going to show you a mattress that is special for those people, perhaps
[00:23:48] in old age, who cannot control either the urinary
[00:23:51] part or the fecal part. Today in Primera Plana we talk about your
[00:23:55] health, so
[00:23:56] take care of it.
[00:24:05] It was as a result of disc surgery years ago that
[00:24:08] made José Luis Martínez think and came up with the idea of
[00:24:12] designing and creating a mattress with a system that
[00:24:15] patients could use to discharge their biological
[00:24:18] needs without having to get out of
[00:24:21] bed. That's how the mattress with the urinal
[00:24:25] sanitary system was born. Being in the hospital, I found myself in
[00:24:28] difficult situations where,
[00:24:32] when I had to go to the bathroom or had to do
[00:24:35] my biological needs, I had to carry
[00:24:39] connected monitors, but there are those who have no family, who have
[00:24:43] no one to assist them, so
[00:24:46] these people suffer from ulcers and suffer from many things,
[00:24:50] from many needs, a fall, this
[00:24:55] bed. So he set out to create the plans and the
[00:24:59] design that could adapt to any mattress. The
[00:25:02] mattress already provides the area to place
[00:25:06] the waste system. The
[00:25:09] cushion is removed and the spacer is placed. The
[00:25:12] function of the spacer is to
[00:25:17] with the weight of people, because if it compresses,
[00:25:21] we have an accident there. This
[00:25:24] also at the same time turns over, in case the
[00:25:28] patient wants to do it sitting with their feet to the side,
[00:25:31] then underneath this there is
[00:25:34] this which is the
[00:25:36] reservoir where the fluids
[00:25:40] fall. This has a check valve, as we can see
[00:25:43] here, to prevent the odors
[00:25:46] from rising. The odors stay there. This
[00:25:50] disconnects at the bottom
[00:25:53] of this tank, this is like a hose that connects here
[00:25:57] and the stopper is
[00:26:00] removed.
