Lagoons and [00:01:12] glaciers in Peru are [00:01:14] there are others that are remembered for everything we under surveillance. [00:01:16] At this hour and as every day, it is my pleasure to greet our viewers [00:01:20] by extending a warm welcome to our front-page program [00:01:24] with Alejandra Forero. It is with great pleasure that we greet you, hoping that [00:01:28] you had an excellent Wednesday. [00:01:30] We begin with local news and we start with the protest that [00:01:34] was evident yesterday afternoon by Seitar workers [00:01:38] in order to request the continuation of their director, Mr. [00:01:41] Roland Cruz. Let's remember that this year, more or less in [00:01:45] October, he would be entering retirement. However, [00:01:48] they want that for stability, the director [00:01:52] can continue for at least 2 [00:01:56] on the streets, especially years. Yesterday afternoon, Tuesday. [00:01:58] Seitar workers decided to take action as a measure of [00:02:02] protest, claiming that at that moment, they had not [00:02:06] received a response from the government regarding their main [00:02:09] petition: to guarantee the continuity of the state company's [00:02:13] management. The concern arose because the current [00:02:16] director, Mr. Roland Cruz, is about to [00:02:19] retire in October. According to the [00:02:23] information known, there was the possibility of [00:02:26] granting him a contract for 2 more years while the process [00:02:30] to appoint a new director was developed. At the [00:02:33] moment the employees [00:02:37] also apply a very good started the protest, Mr. Roland Cruz was meeting in [00:02:40] Cocolishi with the ministers involved in the matter. [00:02:43] Hours later, it was reported that both [00:02:46] parties reached an agreement to extend his [00:02:50] tenure through a contract with the aim of [00:02:53] maintaining the administrative stability of Seitar. [00:02:56] The workers explained that their mobilization was not [00:03:00] directed against Mr. Cruz, but in favor of the [00:03:03] institutional stability of the company. They pointed out that [00:03:06] after the recent departure of another executive, they feared that a [00:03:10] new transition would affect the operation of the entity. [00:03:14] They also recalled that they sent letters to the government, [00:03:17] participated in meetings with the Supervisory Board and were [00:03:20] subsequently referred to the shareholder without obtaining a [00:03:24] definitive solution at that time. Finally, the [00:03:27] conflict was temporarily resolved and [00:03:31] Seitar's operations were able to continue normally while a [00:03:34] transparent and public process is awaited for the [00:03:38] selection of the future management of the company. [00:03:41] Changing the subject, [00:03:43] yesterday there were also [00:03:46] protests by tour operators for what concerns UTVs, [00:03:50] ATVs, all-terrain vehicles, at different times of [00:03:54] the day and in fact, until 8 p.m., they were protesting [00:03:57] so that the government would help them and they could stop [00:04:01] the case that has been filed in court by Aruba [00:04:05] Bearlife Conservation. [00:04:07] The protest by [00:04:10] tourist guides and UTV and ATV operators [00:04:13] extended until last night, Tuesday, in front of the [00:04:17] Parliament of Aruba. The group demands a clear and [00:04:21] written response from the government so that the judicial [00:04:24] process initiated by Aruba Bearlife Conservation [00:04:27] can be postponed and there is room to [00:04:31] reach a solution. During the afternoon, the [00:04:34] protesters delivered a [00:04:36] individuals were arrested manifesto with their main petitions and gave the [00:04:39] government 2 hours to receive a response. [00:04:42] Among the requests was that the authorities dialogue [00:04:45] directly with Mr. Greg Peterson, president of [00:04:49] Aruba Bier Life Conservation, to seek [00:04:51] an agreement that would allow postponing the case scheduled [00:04:55] for tomorrow, Thursday. However, although the [00:04:58] government formally requested the court to postpone [00:05:02] the process, the final decision is now in the hands [00:05:05] of the judge. According to what is known, Aruba Beer Life [00:05:09] Conservation would not agree to postpone the case. While [00:05:12] awaiting the judicial decision, the guides and [00:05:15] operators remained for several hours in the vicinity of the [00:05:19] parliament and later returned to the legislative [00:05:23] headquarters. In addition to the manifesto, the group [00:05:26] disseminated a public letter addressed to [00:05:29] the sponsors of Aruba Bearlife Conservation, in [00:05:32] which they request them to suspend financial support to the [00:05:36] organization. For his part, Minister René Herden [00:05:39] assured that the government is fulfilling its commitment to open [00:05:43] more space for dialogue. The intention, he said, is to find [00:05:47] a balance between the protection of nature and [00:05:50] the continuity of an economic activity on which numerous [00:05:54] workers depend. From Aruba to [00:05:56] Colombia, the [00:05:59] Beyond Sports Limits team was recently in Colombia [00:06:03] fulfilling a dream that is also an inspiration for all [00:06:06] of us. Not only did they participate in a marathon that recently [00:06:10] took place in Medellín, but they [00:06:12] also fulfilled the dream of reaching the top of the [00:06:16] place in [00:06:18] Guatapé. [00:06:20] There are trips that are remembered for the places we visit and [00:06:26] are capable of overcoming. This time, the athletes [00:06:30] of Beyond Sports Limits Aruba took their [00:06:33] spirit of overcoming to Colombia where they lived an [00:06:37] unforgettable experience and showed once again that [00:06:40] limits are often only in our minds. [00:06:44] In Antioquia, the athletes faced the challenge of [00:06:47] climbing 600 steps of El Peñol, a [00:06:50] challenge that was not only about reaching the top, [00:06:53] but about showing that every step counts, that every effort [00:06:57] is worthwhile and that together they can go much further, just as every [00:07:01] year they conquer the Hoyer here in Aruba, this time [00:07:04] they reached the highest point of one of the most emblematic [00:07:08] mountains in Colombia. But the real achievement [00:07:11] was not only at the top, it was in every smile, in [00:07:15] every extended hand, in every person who accompanied the journey [00:07:19] and above all, in the certainty that a [00:07:22] disability should never become a barrier to [00:07:25] achieving a dream. Beyond Sports Limits [00:07:28] was born with a clear mission: to create opportunities, promote [00:07:32] inclusion and show the world that we all have a [00:07:36] place at the starting line. With the support of their [00:07:39] families, volunteers and sponsors, these [00:07:42] athletes also took their first steps on the international [00:07:45] stage, carrying a message that today crosses [00:07:48] borders: inclusion is built with [00:07:51] opportunities, because when you believe, when you accompany and when [00:07:55] you advance together, there is no mountain too high, one [00:07:59] step at a time, one experience at a time and a message that [00:08:03] now goes beyond Aruba, Beyond Sports Limits [00:08:06] for the world. We begin our international [00:08:09] round in Colombia. [00:08:14] Marco Rubio was received with military honors [00:08:18] in Barranquilla for a special visit with [00:08:21] President Abelardo de la Espriella. In these meetings, [00:08:25] various bilateral agenda items were discussed, but [00:08:28] it's very important how the United States will cooperate with [00:08:32] Colombia. With a guard of honor and a handshake, [00:08:36] the US Secretary of [00:08:39] State, Marco Rubio, was received at the alternate headquarters of the [00:08:43] presidency of Colombia, located in Barranquilla, for his first official [00:08:46] meeting with President Abelardo de la Espriella. Cooperation is [00:08:49] reactivated with a firm purpose to protect the hemisphere from [00:08:53] criminal structures, to combat narco-terrorism, with a [00:08:56] robust deployment in terms of security and commercial [00:09:00] relations. Colombia will fully comply with its [00:09:03] responsibilities. We will have the headquarters in Medellín [00:09:06] and we will do everything necessary to attack [00:09:09] organized crime and to give these criminals the place [00:09:13] they deserve, which is a prison or a tomb. [00:09:17] Here I say it without euphemisms: a bandit who does not submit will [00:09:20] be taken down as legally corresponds. Colombia's petitions [00:09:24] will be heard and executed to the fullest by the government of [00:09:28] Donald Trump, in terms of technological updating to carry [00:09:32] out military operations within the framework of Colombia's [00:09:35] participation in the Shield of the Americas. The president spoke [00:09:38] openly and publicly about different things, military purchases [00:09:42] he wants to make, radar systems, intelligence [00:09:45] systems, everything else that is necessary, and we are willing and [00:09:48] open to cooperate in that space. President Trump [00:09:52] is willing to provide everything possible to help Colombia to [00:09:56] face this threat, which for three or four years was not really [00:09:59] faced. The possibility was put on the table that the United States [00:10:03] could even have a permanent presence in our country through a [00:10:07] military operations base. of cooperation between both [00:10:11] countries, the possibility is being studied, if it is not a military [00:10:14] base, it is a joint base, even if it is a facility that both [00:10:17] countries can use, obviously that corresponds to the Colombian government, [00:10:21] which is a sovereign country that has the right to choose who [00:10:25] enters its country and who does not. Marco [00:10:28] Rubio also made it clear that security must be accompanied by a [00:10:32] prosperous process for the economies of both countries and therefore [00:10:36] they are evaluating at full speed the possibility of suspending the [00:10:39] tariff measure that set an increase for certain export [00:10:42] products at the beginning of 2026. [00:10:46] We wish to deal with that, there are active negotiations [00:10:49] underway right now and we hope that we will have a very positive result [00:10:53] for the United States and for Colombia as well. The diplomatic agenda of [00:10:57] the United States in Barranquilla closed by opening the door [00:11:01] to a formal meeting between Presidents [00:11:09] lagoons and also a glacier are currently under surveillance [00:11:12] due to the potential overflows they could have and avalanches [00:11:16] that could also threaten their community. However, [00:11:19] some protests have been generated by their community and [00:11:22] they are not allowing investigative teams to reach [00:11:26] the site. [00:11:27] Parón Lagoon [00:11:30] is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the [00:11:33] Ancash region. Its turquoise waters and the imposing [00:11:36] landscape of the White Mountain Range attract hundreds [00:11:39] of visitors. [00:11:41] However, behind [00:11:44] this tourist attraction, there is a threat that keeps [00:11:48] specialists and authorities on alert. The [00:11:50] risk of an eventual overflow. [00:11:53] In June 2019, [00:11:55] the government declared Parón Lagoon an emergency due to the [00:11:59] danger of a possible spill. Two [00:12:02] years later, Ineigem published a risk assessment [00:12:05] for an avalanche in the city of Caraz, which warned about the [00:12:08] danger posed by a possible avalanche coming from the [00:12:12] Hatun Rahu glacier towards the lagoon. The impact [00:12:16] of a mass of ice and rock could [00:12:19] generate a violent displacement of water and [00:12:22] cause the lagoon to overflow. In April [00:12:26] 2023, the regional government of Ancash requested [00:12:29] a joint analysis from the communal water authority, Senami. [00:12:33] The study evaluated [00:12:34] different [00:12:37] scenarios and recommended maintaining [00:12:41] permanent monitoring of the lagoon to reduce the [00:12:44] risk of a disaster. But there is also a [00:12:48] difficulty in carrying out this monitoring. [00:12:51] Since May, the community has restricted [00:12:55] the entry of specialists who seek to carry out [00:12:59] measurements [00:13:01] directly. [00:13:05] The conditions and the danger are not new in this [00:13:09] part of the White Mountain Range. In April 2025, an [00:13:13] avalanche swept through the Casca river basin in the district [00:13:17] of Independencia in Huaraz. Very [00:13:19] high. [00:13:33] Now, in the same sector of the Vallanurraju Nevado massif, new cracks [00:13:36] have appeared. And [00:13:39] we go to Paraguay where in the last hours the authorities [00:13:43] managed to seize a large quantity of [00:13:46] fake medicines supposedly for weight loss, [00:13:49] which had the label and were ready to enter the [00:13:53] market, fortunately. [00:13:58] During the raids, products corresponding to the complaining [00:14:01] laboratory were found, in addition to boxes, logos and [00:14:04] elements that appeared to reproduce security characteristics [00:14:08] of the original products. Finished products were also [00:14:11] seized that, according to the initial verification, would not meet the [00:14:15] necessary characteristics to be considered original. [00:14:18] They reported that in some places this type of product [00:14:21] was being sold or produced. [00:14:25] In conjunction with two colleagues from Asunción, Dr. Mirian Rodríguez [00:14:28] and Dr. Irán Suárez, [00:14:31] we carried out several investigations here in the central [00:14:34] area of the city and [00:14:38] we found in general products that belong to the [00:14:40] ethical laboratory that contain the active [00:14:44] ingredient tirsepatide and that are apparently [00:14:47] counterfeit products. The logos and the security features [00:14:51] of the original products do not match what was [00:14:54] found. And [00:14:57] we go to Ecuador where this morning two [00:15:01] by the authorities after judicial entries. They [00:15:05] would also be part of a rather fearsome gang [00:15:09] that was behind some attacks that occurred last year [00:15:12] in Ecuador. [00:15:16] There were three simultaneous raids in the Prosperina [00:15:20] sector of Guayaquil. [00:15:20] Steven Andrés M and Jefferson [00:15:25] Alexis T were arrested this morning for the car [00:15:28] bomb attack that occurred in October 2025 in front of the [00:15:32] Mall del Sol, north of the city, which left one [00:15:36] dead, at least 26 injured and serious material [00:15:40] damage. The act was classified as terrorist. [00:15:43] These are the two people who carried out this terrorist [00:15:46] attack, who drove the vehicle and left it outside the [00:15:50] building in front of the Mall del Sol where one of those cars exploded. [00:15:53] This was a terrorist attack that tried to make the government [00:15:57] reverse the transfer of criminals to the meeting prison, [00:16:00] which they did not achieve their objective. According to Reinberg, [00:16:04] it took 10 months of investigation to locate [00:16:08] these two people who are part of the criminal [00:16:11] group Los Lobos. They are Ecuadorians, have a history of [00:16:15] possession, unauthorized import of weapons, robbery as [00:16:18] suspects, illicit trafficking of controlled substances, all [00:16:21] from 2022 to 2025, and another person [00:16:25] has open cases for illicit association in [00:16:29] 2023, six complaints of fraud in the provinces of Morazo, [00:16:32] Loja, Santa Elena, Pichincha, Manabí in 2025. [00:16:36] And he revealed the logistics they used. The planning [00:16:39] and assembly of the car bombs would have been carried [00:16:43] out in the San Francisco cooperative in Pascuales, and the [00:16:46] escape route was identified in Lomas de la [00:16:50] Florida. However, they have not been the only ones [00:16:53] linked to this case. In May of this [00:16:57] year, the armed forces carried out an operation in the [00:17:01] San Francisco cooperative, in front of the Litoral penitentiary, [00:17:04] in the sector from where the vehicle that exploded that [00:17:07] night of the attack came out. [00:17:10] Barranquilla in Colombia is currently experiencing an intense [00:17:13] heatwave and the authorities are also alerting the community [00:17:17] to take precautions specifically for the arrival of [00:17:20] El Niño. [00:17:22] In Barranquilla, the heat [00:17:26] gives no respite. High temperatures and humidity [00:17:30] are making it a challenge to stay [00:17:33] for those who work for several hours under [00:17:36] the strong sun. The weather here in Barranquilla [00:17:40] is very strong and it's getting worse. Well, [00:17:43] if you realize, it's barely noon and we are already at a high [00:17:47] level, definitely here we have to find shade because the sun is quite [00:17:50] strong. It is that during the last days the thermal sensation [00:17:53] reached 40 degrees. Given these [00:17:56] conditions, the recommendations are clear: stay [00:18:00] hydrated, avoid direct exposure to the sun during the hours of greatest [00:18:03] intensity, be attentive to any symptom that may indicate [00:18:07] heat-related effects. There are three primary ones: one, excellent [00:18:11] hydration in the morning, [00:18:14] sunscreen with a very good SPF 40, and also [00:18:18] we should not do sports. For those people who [00:18:22] go to the Malecón on the road to the sea, do not do sports between [00:18:25] 9 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. [00:18:28] High temperatures will continue for the next few days, [00:18:32] so authorities insist on taking precautions and not exposing [00:18:35] oneself for prolonged periods to these [00:18:48] Awareness Month. [00:19:02] Rushy [00:19:02] telephone. [00:19:40] Our story was built by people, neighbors helping [00:19:43] neighbors, standing side by side with those who trust [00:19:47] us, to protect what matters most and help build our [00:19:51] communities, being there when needed [00:19:54] most, across [00:19:56] borders, across [00:19:58] generations, [00:20:01] still growing, still giving, [00:20:04] still just getting started after. [00:20:07] 185 years, [00:20:10] risky's world, yes, let's explore it, wow, it's made [00:20:14] with real salmon, look what I found, party mix cat [00:20:17] snacks, there's the delicious taste of the tuna we [00:20:20] love, definitely coming back tomorrow, Friskies, [00:20:24] always more to [00:20:25] explore. [00:20:29] Aruba airport. [00:21:24] We continue with more information on Primera Plana. This [00:21:28] month of September is an important month for prostate [00:21:31] cancer awareness, a cancer that continues to affect more [00:21:35] men, and not only at an advanced age, but also, according [00:21:40] start at a much earlier age. That's why it's important to [00:21:44] be cautious. Today, on Primera Plana, we talk about your health, so [00:21:47] take care of it. First, the good news: [00:21:58] the American Cancer Society says that the increase [00:22:01] in prostate cancer cases is probably due to more men getting [00:22:04] screened for the disease. But now for the bad news: [00:22:08] many are not getting screened early enough. [00:22:11] The increase in cases largely consists of those [00:22:15] with advanced cancer. This year alone, it is [00:22:17] estimated that almost 334,000 new [00:22:20] cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States [00:22:24] and more than 36,000 men are projected to die from the [00:22:28] disease. But regular screenings can save [00:22:32] lives by detecting the disease early, when it is easier [00:22:35] to treat. Understanding the risk of prostate cancer is [00:22:38] really important. Those at highest risk include [00:22:41] everyone over 50 years old, people with [00:22:45] a family history of prostate cancer, especially if [00:22:48] several close relatives were diagnosed at an early [00:22:51] age, and Black men, who are almost [00:22:55] 70% more likely to be diagnosed with the disease [00:22:58] compared to white men. And when it develops in this [00:23:02] group, it generally occurs at an earlier age. They also [00:23:05] have twice the likelihood of dying from this cancer. [00:23:08] The American Cancer Society recommends that men at high [00:23:11] risk between 40 and 45 years old talk to a doctor [00:23:15] about whether screening is appropriate for them and that [00:23:19] people at average risk start the conversation at [00:23:22] 50 years old. [00:23:26] In our most viral section, we present this young [00:23:30] man who should be made viral, as he has become a true [00:23:33] feat in India, because at 20 years old, he has [00:23:35] taken it upon himself to clean [00:23:41] various rivers. In the Indian state of [00:23:45] Pradesh, a 20-year-old man turned cleaning waterways [00:23:49] and water infrastructure into a systematic routine, [00:23:52] a continuous sanitation [00:23:54] effort in various streams [00:23:56] and basins that has gained international dimension after the [00:24:00] massive viralization of his videos. [00:24:03] The work is carried out by Surendra [00:24:07] Singh, a student who dedicates his weekends to [00:24:10] cleaning water bodies contaminated by the historical accumulation [00:24:14] of urban waste. Known in the digital realm as Bitu [00:24:17] Tabaji and based in the town of Viaora, [00:24:21] he did not limit his initiative to a single episode [00:24:24] or a single place. Since the beginning of his activities [00:24:27] at the beginning of the year, the activist periodically [00:24:31] visits different sections of the Agnar River and other [00:24:34] regional tributaries, paying for the protection [00:24:38] and collection materials with his own income. He does not [00:24:41] act as part of any official campaign or environmental [00:24:45] organization; the decision was strictly [00:24:48] personal. His work also began to [00:24:51] gain notoriety when he decided to also [00:24:55] not only start progressively addressing [00:24:58] the degradation of local basins. [00:25:01] And in Argentina, a teacher made a tremendous complaint to [00:25:04] his students who were ready to battle for aura, [00:25:07] however, he cancelled absolutely [00:25:10] everything. Aura farming was one of the [00:25:13] most talked about topics in recent [00:25:15] weeks. Some supported the trend, others [00:25:19] seemed to find it senseless. A teacher joined [00:25:22] this latter group, reprimanding his students not to do it [00:25:26] anymore, and the video went viral as expected.
