[00:00:01] Welcome to our broadcast, I'm Alejandra Forero.
[00:00:04] Next, Front Page.
[00:00:20] Changing the subject, we know that one of
[00:00:36] Welcome to our Front Page broadcast with Alejandra
[00:00:39] Forero. Next, our
[00:00:42] headlines. The first permits for "Junto
[00:00:45] a Progreso" begin to expire at the end of October.
[00:00:49] Colombian Consulate announces the official channels
[00:00:53] to donate in Colombia. This is how
[00:00:55] the earthquake happened, step by step, which affected Colombia on August 10.
[00:00:59] The victims in Pereira now face rains
[00:01:03] and lack of help. She ordered an Uber and the driver's response
[00:01:07] surprised her. At this time and every day, I am
[00:01:10] pleased to greet our viewers, extending a warm welcome
[00:01:14] to all of you who are tuned in to Primera Plana,
[00:01:18] hoping you had an excellent and blessed Tuesday.
[00:01:21] We begin, as usual, with local news, and this time, as we all
[00:01:25] know, last year the project known as "Junto. Progreso de Dimas"
[00:01:29] was announced, where people who had entered before
[00:01:33] July were given the possibility to regularize their status based on a
[00:01:36] temporary permit. Well, it now begins to expire
[00:01:40] at the end of October,
[00:01:43] that year of extension that the government had given for those
[00:01:47] people who did not have the documents. If after this
[00:01:50] date they do not get a company or an employer who can
[00:01:53] sign for them, unfortunately, they will be in an irregular
[00:01:56] situation. The temporary permits for
[00:02:00] "Junto pa Progreso" will begin to expire in
[00:02:04] October. The government of Aruba called on people who participated in
[00:02:07] the last phase of "Juntopa Progreso" to
[00:02:10] complete their regularization process as soon as possible,
[00:02:14] as the first temporary or transitional permits, as they had
[00:02:18] been mentioned, will begin to expire
[00:02:20] at the end of October. The Minister of Justice, Integration,
[00:02:24] Public Transport, Energy, Arthur Dowers, explained that
[00:02:27] around 1500 people were granted temporary permits
[00:02:31] with a maximum validity of one year, with the aim of
[00:02:36] baby girl, the video touched facilitating their entry into the formal labor market and
[00:02:38] unfortunately, last night with allowing them to advance towards a regular permit. However, the
[00:02:42] they left an extensive written piece in minister recalled that these permits only allow
[00:02:45] legal residency in Aruba while they are
[00:02:48] valid, that is, within this one-year period. Therefore, those who
[00:02:52] still do not have an employer or a person to
[00:02:55] sign for them, must find one and organize their
[00:02:58] documentation. from the expiration date. Do not wait
[00:03:02] until the last day, emphasized the official, who also
[00:03:07] The collapse of the Villatrece building in pointed out that the government is working to connect job seekers with
[00:03:10] companies that are needing personnel, what
[00:03:14] is known as a match. Currently, there is a database of
[00:03:17] available workers and when a company
[00:03:21] reports a specific need, efforts are made to
[00:03:24] link it with potential candidates. The government
[00:03:27] reiterated that any person can apply for a work permit,
[00:03:31] but its approval will depend on legal
[00:03:34] requirements and the needs of the Aruban
[00:03:37] labor market. Changing the subject, as
[00:03:41] we know, there are many helping hands that want to help people,
[00:03:45] for example, the victims in Colombia, in townships,
[00:03:48] departments, cities, and they don't know how to do it. Given this, the
[00:03:52] Consulate of Colombia announces what are the official channels
[00:03:55] from the presidency of Colombia, through which they can
[00:03:59] help the
[00:04:01] victims.
[00:04:03] The Consulate of Colombia in Aruba shares the official
[00:04:07] channels provided by the presidency of Colombia
[00:04:10] to make donations and humanitarian assistance to Colombia. According
[00:04:13] to the type of contribution,
[00:04:15] others, 50 premises located on these are the official channels. In each QR code link, you can
[00:04:19] consult additional information. First,
[00:04:22] cash donations, this is through the Colombian Red Cross. To
[00:04:26] directly support emergency relief, make your donation
[00:04:30] through the official channel which is the Colombian Red Cross. Second,
[00:04:34] cash donations, Colombians Unite, Banco de
[00:04:37] Colombia. You can also do this through the bank accounts
[00:04:41] that appear on this flyer. It is recommended to carefully verify
[00:04:45] the information before making any transfer and
[00:04:48] to use exclusively these official channels. Third,
[00:04:52] donations of goods or in kind, APC Colombia.
[00:04:56] If you wish to make donations in kind or contributions that...
[00:05:00] constitute non-reimbursable international cooperation, you must follow
[00:05:04] the procedure established by the Presidential Agency for
[00:05:07] International Cooperation of Colombia. The Consulate of
[00:05:10] Colombia in Aruba
[00:05:12] thanks the government and people of Aruba for their solidarity and for
[00:05:16] using the official channels to guarantee transparency
[00:05:19] and that each donation reaches the
[00:05:23] places where it is needed. Together we can
[00:05:26] bring hope and relief to those who need it
[00:05:29] most.
[00:05:32] the problems our island suffers from is the number of dogs and
[00:05:36] cats found on the streets. Given this, Luna
[00:05:39] Foundation indicates that microchipping should be mandatory
[00:05:43] for pets, because then they could verify, for example, if
[00:05:47] they find one of these animals on the street, who it belongs to and
[00:05:51] who its owner is. One of the main
[00:05:54] proposals is to make the use of microchips mandatory
[00:05:58] for all pets. On an island as small as Aruba, the
[00:06:02] problem of stray dogs could begin to decrease in
[00:06:05] a few years, if concrete measures were implemented
[00:06:08] and the responsibility of owners were strengthened.
[00:06:11] That is, the pet owners. This was recently
[00:06:15] announced by Soi de Luna Foundation, who
[00:06:19] called for finding fundamental solutions to this
[00:06:22] problem. In this way, if a mandatory microchip
[00:06:26] were implemented, when the animal is found on the street, it will
[00:06:30] be easier to identify the owner. She
[00:06:33] also proposes conducting a house-to-house registration,
[00:06:37] touring the different neighborhoods to find out how many
[00:06:40] pets each family has, including dogs
[00:06:44] and cats. People who do not have their animals registered
[00:06:47] will be able to receive information about sterilization programs such as
[00:06:51] "impulsa, estimami sterililisami". These operations
[00:06:54] are free, although organizations need funds and donations
[00:06:58] to maintain this type of campaigns. According to her, if the government provides
[00:07:02] support for a certain
[00:07:04] period, results could begin to be seen in the short term. But for
[00:07:08] her, control and sterilization are not
[00:07:11] enough. It is also necessary to educate the
[00:07:14] community about responsible pet ownership, helping
[00:07:18] owners to adequately know what
[00:07:21] they should do with their
[00:07:23] pets.
[00:07:29] In our international round, we start in Colombia and today we
[00:07:32] show you step by step how this terrible earthquake
[00:07:36] occurred on August 10 in Colombian territory.
[00:07:39] colombiano.
[00:07:43] Please, go down, go down. The clock marked
[00:07:46] 7:34 in the morning. It was 90 seconds of
[00:07:49] anguish.
[00:07:51] The intensity of the earthquake that shook the country, as never before, was
[00:07:55] recorded on the cell phones of thousands of
[00:07:57] people.
[00:08:01] In the center of Pereira, a citizen recorded the evacuation of several buildings
[00:08:04] while everything moved. The "Bolívar Desnudo" by the sculptor Rodrigo Arenas
[00:08:08] de Tancur, was an exceptional witness to the way the courthouse building
[00:08:12] next to the mayor's office
[00:08:14] collapsed.
[00:08:19] the corner of Liberty Park in Pereira was also a dramatic
[00:08:23] moment.
[00:08:28] Matecaña Airport, a structure that was the pride of the region, was left
[00:08:32] in
[00:08:32] ruins.
[00:08:38] Three people lost their lives at the international terminal.
[00:08:42] Everyone, quiet, quiet, quiet. In this
[00:08:45] building under construction for the mosaic project in Pereira, its employees
[00:08:48] implored the creator while everything shook. Eternal Father,
[00:08:52] holy Father, dear Father. When the
[00:08:56] crane moved from side to side, amidst the terror, a
[00:08:59] voice made everyone regain faith: calmly,
[00:09:03] let's go down, but calmly, let's go down one by one, calmly,
[00:09:06] calmly.
[00:09:09] In Manizales, a citizen with nerves of steel saw how the...
[00:10:12] The residents of San Juan neighborhood in Buenaventura also experienced
[00:10:16] firsthand the collapse of their
[00:10:17] buildings.
[00:10:20] In Choco, many, if not all, municipalities
[00:10:24] were affected. The building was four stories high and came
[00:10:28] down. This was the 90 seconds of greatest panic
[00:10:31] the country has experienced in recent
[00:10:33] times,
[00:10:37] and whose epicenter was this place, San José del Palmar, a humble
[00:10:41] and forgotten municipality in Choco, where Caracol news
[00:10:44] also arrived. Its houses also show the consequences of the
[00:10:47] earthquake that today leaves destruction and death in
[00:10:50] a large part of western Colombia. And
[00:10:54] while many cities like Pereira or Cali try
[00:10:58] to assimilate and slowly get back on their feet thanks to the aid
[00:11:01] received, now the inclemency of the weather is also
[00:11:05] affecting them. The heavy rains that have occurred in these
[00:11:08] departments have affected the work of not only
[00:11:11] volunteers, but also
[00:11:13] rescuers.
[00:11:17] This is how the hundreds of victims in
[00:11:19] Pereira spent the night.
[00:11:23] As if the magnitude of the earthquake tragedy was not enough, the rain
[00:11:27] worsens the situation. The rain is affecting me a lot,
[00:11:29] covering up so it doesn't come in underneath. What do you
[00:11:33] need? Just
[00:11:36] cleaning supplies and groceries.
[00:11:40] I don't have a mattress here. Who are you with? My
[00:11:43] husband. And the needs are growing
[00:11:46] every day. What do you need? Mattress, cleaning
[00:11:49] supplies, whatever you can help us with.
[00:11:53] Ready for the rain, what else do you
[00:11:55] need? What
[00:11:57] else do you need?
[00:12:03] This is Olaya Herrera Park, one of the largest shelters in the city of
[00:12:07] Pereira. The mayor's office announced that this accommodation
[00:12:10] will be moved to the smaller Coliseum. However, today
[00:12:13] they woke up like this, very hard, very hard, very
[00:12:16] cold, honestly, quite
[00:12:20] a tough night. Rains that further complicate the situation of the more
[00:12:24] than...
[00:12:31] With great difficulty, it was passed with great difficulty because
[00:12:34] they donated many plastics at night, we tried to cover them, tarps, but
[00:12:38] it's still an environment that is not
[00:12:42] suitable for us to be in. We do our best with what we have with
[00:12:45] the help of the people, but we are completely abandoned.
[00:12:49] The rains not only affected the shelters, but also the
[00:12:52] hospital infrastructure. This happened last night at San Jorge
[00:12:56] University Hospital, where the water flooded a good part of the
[00:13:00] buildings. And
[00:13:03] the downpour we started to realize and there were
[00:13:07] some floods in some areas of our
[00:13:10] hospital. Fortunately, last night we managed to
[00:13:14] solve a part of this, by means of
[00:13:17] repairs and trying to control the leaks.
[00:13:21] They try to attend to the hundreds of injured due to the earthquake.
[00:13:25] These are some of their needs. And now we go
[00:13:29] to Ecuador where this weekend acres were
[00:13:32] submerged in a very large fire that occurred in
[00:13:36] a shopping center in Riobamba. According to the authorities, they are
[00:13:39] analyzing what were the possible causes of this
[00:13:43] fire.
[00:13:46] More than 40 hours after the fire, smoke still rises
[00:13:50] from the rubble in the historic center of Riobamba. The fire affected six
[00:13:54] monastic dwellings, where 12 commercial premises operated,
[00:13:57] including pharmacies, appliance stores,
[00:14:00] bazaars, and legal offices. According to the mayor's office, around
[00:14:04] 10,000 square meters of centenary constructions
[00:14:07] were affected. On Monday morning, firefighters
[00:14:11] continued with cooling and rubble removal
[00:14:13] efforts. Smoke reappears mainly when
[00:14:17] wood remains are removed. The fire also reached adjacent
[00:14:20] properties. In Luis Saltaminano's shop, for example, the roof
[00:14:24] burned. To try to
[00:14:27] get into the premises and try to clean it
[00:14:31] quickly, the cantonal COE closed the streets surrounding
[00:14:35] the affected area. The restriction forced the suspension of services in, among
[00:14:40] 10 de Agosto, Colón, Larrea and Primera
[00:14:43] Constituyente streets. Some merchants, as a precaution, removed
[00:14:47] merchandise and belongings that remain on the street while
[00:14:50] they wait to be able to return to their businesses.
[00:14:52] Unfortunately, we are suffering for the owners
[00:14:55] of the stores. There is still a rubber smell
[00:14:59] that you can smell, the burned rubber is still there. Sometimes we have to go into
[00:15:03] the offices, you can't go in because the offices
[00:15:06] are closed. According to preliminary information, the fire
[00:15:09] would have started in a toy store and within minutes
[00:15:13] spread to the adjacent buildings.
[00:15:16] Now, the investigation seeks to determine what caused the fire
[00:15:20] and if the establishment where it would have
[00:15:23] permits of this type.
[00:15:26] It necessarily has to go
[00:15:28] to the prosecutor's office. And now we go to Paraguay where
[00:15:32] in the last few hours a road security camera
[00:15:35] recorded the moment when a truck, apparently, lost its brakes,
[00:15:39] affecting some vehicles. Unfortunately, several people
[00:15:43] lost their lives, incinerated.
[00:15:47] In Upacaraí, on Saturday night, around
[00:15:50] 8:30 p.m., a serious traffic accident occurred
[00:15:54] at kilometer 48 of route
[00:15:56] PI02 on the Aterá Pedroso branch of
[00:15:59] Pacaraí, which was recorded in closed-circuit
[00:16:03] images, where it could be observed that a dump
[00:16:06] was transporting bricks, with apparent brake
[00:16:10] failures, crashed into four vehicles that were
[00:16:14] at the traffic light. It
[00:16:16] crushed one of these vehicles and dragged it for several meters,
[00:16:20] during which it knocked down an ANDE pole. As a
[00:16:23] result of the violent impact, a fire broke out that left
[00:16:27] both vehicles incinerated, resulting in
[00:16:30] five fatalities and at least seven
[00:16:33] injured. A truck transporting bricks,
[00:16:38] apparently lost its brakes, right?
[00:16:41] Nearing kilometer 47 plus
[00:16:44] 200, it hit two vehicles, apparently
[00:16:48] also due to some images that
[00:16:51] we could observe, it dragged other vehicles and
[00:16:54] crossed into the opposite lane, right? Subsequently, the
[00:16:57] fire occurred where the
[00:17:00] driver of the truck transporting the
[00:17:03] bricks was unharmed and we have three people
[00:17:07] incinerated, to determine the sex and
[00:17:09] other data. According to the
[00:17:13] account of the driver of the large truck, identified as Víctor
[00:17:17] Raúl de la Cruz, 48 years old, who suffered minor
[00:17:21] injuries, he was driving on route two, when shortly
[00:17:24] after passing the emergency braking ramp, he
[00:17:28] realized that his vehicle had problems with the braking
[00:17:31] system, so he could not avoid crashing into the
[00:17:35] cars that were waiting for the
[00:17:37] traffic light to change. We're going to our commercial
[00:17:41] break, but we'll be back with more
[00:17:51] of his customers' baby.
[00:18:41] Our story was built by people, neighbors helping
[00:18:45] neighbors, standing side by side with those who trust
[00:18:48] us, to protect what matters most and help build our
[00:18:52] communities, being there when needed
[00:18:55] most, across
[00:18:57] borders, across
[00:18:59] generations,
[00:19:02] still growing, still giving,
[00:19:05] still just getting started.
[00:19:08] after 185 years. Subiamigo.com
[00:23:10] we show you this woman who recorded an animal in Brazil and
[00:23:14] uploaded it to social media, and many compared it to a werewolf,
[00:23:18] but it is an endangered species found
[00:23:21] in different countries in
[00:23:23] South America.
[00:23:26] A woman in Brazil had a very scary moment
[00:23:29] when she encountered an animal that, due to its appearance and size,
[00:23:33] she thought was a werewolf. However, it was an
[00:23:37] aguará guazú, one of the largest wolves in
[00:23:40] South America and a protected species in the region. The
[00:23:44] encounter was recorded and quickly became viral due to the woman's reaction upon
[00:23:48] discovering the animal in front of her. This
[00:23:51] aguará is an endangered species in different areas of South America and
[00:23:55] plays an important role within the ecosystem. It has extremely
[00:23:58] long and slender legs that allow it to walk over tall
[00:24:02] grasslands, reddish fur, and a distinctive black mane
[00:24:06] on its neck. It is a solitary, shy, harmless
[00:24:10] animal to humans, and nocturnal. It also inhabits
[00:24:13] plains, grasslands, and wetlands in countries such as Argentina, Brazil,
[00:24:16] Paraguay, Bolivia, and Peru. It is cataloged as an
[00:24:20] endangered species due to the reduction of its natural
[00:24:23] habitat and road
[00:24:26] fatalities. And look at this woman who
[00:24:30] was on the train in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She
[00:24:34] began singing opera to a tenor who is already
[00:24:37] accustomed to being on this train. The images have
[00:24:40] gone viral. A spontaneous encounter on a
[00:24:44] Buenos Aires train once again put opera at the center of
[00:24:48] social networks. A soprano
[00:24:52] surprised a lyric tenor by joining him in singing
[00:24:56] a song from La Traviata in a scene that circulated in videos and
[00:24:59] reels in the last few hours. The woman was identified as Gloria
[00:25:03] Amavel Mariushi, while the singer is Pablo Layyana,
[00:25:07] a missionary tenor who months ago had already gained visibility for his
[00:25:11] public performances and who also uses social
[00:25:14] networks. The sequence was disseminated from a post where
[00:25:18] the highlight was shared,
[00:25:20] the singer with a mention on her account along with hashtags
[00:25:24] linked to the viral phenomenon. After the video circulated,
[00:25:27] Gloria herself published her version of the
[00:25:30] encounter, leaving the train in Tigre, I met this tenor,
[00:25:34] we sang La Traviata, thanks Pablo for this beautiful
[00:25:37] moment, I have been a soprano for more than 30 years singing in
[00:25:41] a choir, greetings Gloria, she wrote on her social
[00:25:44] networks.
[00:25:50] At this time, our recommendation of the day arrives, and it comes from
[00:25:53] our Queen Beatrix International Airport, which connects us
[00:25:57] directly and non-stop to the city of Bucaramanga, thanks to

[00:26:21] traveling on Wednesdays and Saturdays. For more information
[00:26:24] about this new route to Bucaramanga, you can visit
[00:26:28] www.airportaruba.com.
[00:26:32] And continuing with more of the stories that go viral on social media, today we show
[00:26:36] you a young woman who posted on her social media why the
[00:26:40] Uber or the driver she had hired did not have the front
[00:26:44] seat, that is, the passenger seat. All this apparently
[00:26:47] due to a request from the driver's partner.
[00:26:51] A woman got into an Uber car as a passenger. The
[00:26:55] unusual thing about the car was that it didn't have the front passenger
[00:26:58] seat, as the carpet and the metal base were directly
[00:27:02] exposed. During the ride, the passenger
[00:27:06] recorded the driver while, laughing, he explained why
[00:27:09] he didn't have the seat. The driver, a young man in a sports
[00:27:12] jacket, seriously explained the logic
[00:27:16] behind the decision. He responded kindly,
[00:27:19] "No, I had to remove it because my girlfriend doesn't want anyone to ride
[00:27:23] in front with me, and the truth is she's right, it's more
[00:27:27] about respecting her." Then the girl continued: "Of course, you're in conflict,
[00:27:30] yes?" "Well, I could have made up an
[00:27:33] excuse, I don't know, but it's more or less for that reason. There are
[00:27:37] times when people travel at night actually, and they want to go out dancing,
[00:27:40] so there's always someone who might want to sit in front."
[00:27:44] She said that apparently it would be to
[00:27:47] show respect. And I leave you with this beautiful
[00:27:51] gender reveal. We know that lately couples
[00:27:54] throw a whole party, a big event to be able to reveal
[00:27:58] what the gender or sex of their baby, however, a couple
[00:28:02] did it differently, they asked the ice cream man to give them the
[00:28:06] color depending on the sex of their baby. A
[00:28:10] video went viral on social media and touched everyone with its content. A
[00:28:13] couple who are expecting their baby decided to do the gender
[00:28:17] reveal in an original and unique way. They asked an ice cream man to
[00:28:20] help them with the plan. If it was a boy, that is, sky cream
[00:28:24] and if it was a girl, strawberry cream. What flavor was the ice cream that
[00:28:28] the couple chose for the reveal? Reaching the end of the
[00:28:31] video, they slowly opened the ice cream and noticed it was strawberry, in this
[00:28:34] way they discovered that they would have a
[00:28:38] social media and captivated users who were emotional during the
[00:28:41] recording, in addition
[00:28:45] the description in which they told the process also until
[00:28:48] they got to where they are today and how they formed the family they always
[00:28:52] dreamed of. That's all for our broadcast today
