[00:00:00] This is going to be very interesting to follow because she did vote for Donald Trump,
[00:00:04] so if she doesn't vote, it will be a significant protest vote against Donald
[00:00:07] Trump. Now, I think there's something interesting:
[00:00:10] why did he lose so much support from Latinos?
[00:00:14] We would have to see, mainly we have to take into account that
[00:00:18] Americans and I believe all people in the world who live in
[00:00:21] countries.
[00:00:48] Pentagon, minutes south of
[00:01:01] Welcome to our First Page broadcast with Alejandra Forero.
[00:01:05] Next, our headlines.
[00:01:09] Fines for those who hire undocumented people.
[00:01:12] Chamber of Commerce opines on the increase in the minimum
[00:01:16] wage. More details are known about the attack in Colombia.
[00:01:19] Concern about people swimming in floods that are
[00:01:31] one of the most fascinating destinations in pleases me to greet our viewers giving them, as always, a warm
[00:01:34] welcome to our First Page broadcast with Alejandra Forero, with great
[00:01:38] pleasure we greet all of you, hoping that you had an
[00:01:42] excellent Friday and that you get ready to have the best weekend.
[00:01:45] We start with local news and this
[00:01:49] time with what was mentioned recently by Minister
[00:01:52] Arthur Dowers specifically indicating that
[00:01:55] those individuals or companies that, for example,
[00:01:58] hire people who do not have their documents in order, will
[00:02:02] receive fines. An individual, for example, up to
[00:02:05] 10,000 florins in fines, and a company up to
[00:02:08] 25,000 florins in fines.
[00:02:12] Aruba will toughen penalties against those who employ undocumented
[00:02:16] Next, in workers. The government of Aruba will strengthen these
[00:02:19] penalties against companies or individuals
[00:02:22] who employ workers without the necessary
[00:02:25] documents, as announced by Justice Minister Arthur
[00:02:29] Dowers. During a press conference, he reported
[00:02:32] on changes in sanction policies
[00:02:34] once again became a protagonist on and the application of administrative fines.
[00:02:37] Over the past year, the government offered a group of undocumented
[00:02:41] migrants the opportunity to regularize their immigration
[00:02:45] and labor status through the "Junto pa Progreso" program. This
[00:02:48] initiative sought to respond to the demand for
[00:02:51] workers in various sectors of the economy, while also providing
[00:02:55] an opportunity to regularize their situation.
[00:02:59] However, now that the program is in its final phase, the
[00:03:02] government deems it necessary to reinforce compliance with current
[00:03:06] regulations. According to the announced policy, a
[00:03:09] person who employs an undocumented worker
[00:03:13] may receive a fine of up to 10,000 florins for each
[00:03:16] worker. In the case of companies, the penalty may
[00:03:20] reach 25,000 florins for each undocumented
[00:03:23] employee. The minister also pointed out that some
[00:03:27] heavily on that labor. employers initiate work permit applications when their
[00:03:31] foreign employees are already in Aruba and have even
[00:03:34] started working, which can result in the
[00:03:38] rejection of the application. Therefore, people applying for their
[00:03:42] first work permit must complete the process from
[00:03:45] abroad and wait for the approval of the temporary admission
[00:03:49] permit, known as a VTA, before traveling to
[00:03:52] Aruba to continue the required procedures,
[00:03:56] including medical examinations.
[00:04:00] Changing the subject, this week the Chamber of Commerce held a
[00:04:03] press conference where they stated their
[00:04:06] position regarding the increase in the minimum wage and the
[00:04:10] proposals currently on the table. They indicate
[00:04:14] that it is an important issue that needs to be studied and finalized
[00:04:18] with different unions in order to create a balance
[00:04:22] will come at 100 days, but what between purchasing power and the minimum
[00:04:24] wage. The Chamber of Commerce
[00:04:28] recognizes the concern about the high cost of living and
[00:04:32] the need to improve the purchasing power of workers.
[00:04:34] However, it warns that
[00:04:37] progressively increasing the minimum wage to match the
[00:04:41] subsistence level could have significant
[00:04:44] consequences for small businesses and the labor market.
[00:04:48] During a press conference, the director of KVK, Mr.
[00:04:52] Martin, pointed out that the current minimum wage is around
[00:04:56] 2,070 florins, while the subsistence level for a
[00:05:00] single person is estimated at approximately
[00:05:03] 2,670 florins, a difference of about
[00:05:06] 600 florins. He
[00:05:08] days, precisely on questioned that these decisions are based on data about income
[00:05:11] and family expenses that go back to studies from
[00:05:15] approximately two decades ago. Therefore, he considers it essential
[00:05:19] to update the information to determine which households
[00:05:22] truly need financial assistance. The Chamber of
[00:05:26] Commerce also warns that a significant wage increase
[00:05:29] could raise the operating costs of businesses,
[00:05:33] especially small businesses, and lead to staff reductions,
[00:05:37] fewer working hours, increases in the
[00:05:40] prices of products and services. As an alternative,
[00:05:44] Caveika proposes studying complementary measures such as
[00:05:48] tax relief for low-income individuals, support for
[00:05:52] indebted families, and investments in education and
[00:05:55] staff capacity. The institution clarifies that
[00:05:59] it does not oppose improving minimum wages, but insists
[00:06:02] that any reform must be based on updated
[00:06:05] information, consultations with the sectors involved, and
[00:06:09] analysis of its possible consequences.
[00:06:14] and this week the official announcement was made of the great
[00:06:18] campaign so awaited by Phones known as
[00:06:21] Holiday Spin, we have the details of this super campaign so that
[00:06:25] you can participate and
[00:06:27] win.
[00:06:37] big end of the year and this here is no different, if you see here we are
[00:06:41] joining forces together with...
[00:09:01] Holiday Spain launched its end-of-year campaign
[00:09:04] jointly.
[00:09:08] They can participate from November 2nd.
[00:10:12] We begin our international round in
[00:10:15] Colombia with an attack that occurred in recent
[00:10:21] the border between Colombia and Venezuela, where one person also
[00:10:25] was injured. It seems there were two attacks that were
[00:10:29] perpetrated this week.
[00:10:32] Two acts of violence marked the border in recent
[00:10:36] hours. The first is related to the homicide of the former secretary of
[00:10:39] government of the North Santander capital, Miguel Castellanos. He was traveling
[00:10:43] with his son in an armored
[00:10:46] vehicle. The hitman used a decoy by hitting the
[00:10:50] vehicle with a motorcycle. The former official got out, and when that
[00:10:53] happened, the murderer shot him multiple
[00:10:56] times. Fortunately, the minor was unharmed. The
[00:11:00] authorities offered a reward of up to 100 million
[00:11:04] pesos to locate those responsible for this act. And while this was happening,
[00:11:08] hours later, an attack with explosive devices was reported
[00:11:12] in the vicinity of the Francisco de Paula Santander international
[00:11:15] bridge in the Escobal sector. A suitcase was abandoned that
[00:11:18] detonated, leaving four police officers injured. They are now recovering
[00:11:21] in a medical center in that border area with Venezuelan territory. For
[00:11:25] this case, a reward of up to 50 million
[00:11:29] pesos has been offered.
[00:11:31] Experts in public health entities in Ecuador
[00:11:34] warn of the imminent risk
[00:11:37] that people who take as entertainment
[00:11:41] to enter the waters generated by
[00:11:44] floods may run. This not only can bring health
[00:11:50] they have indicated, could also generate certain epidemics.
[00:11:53] Below are the
[00:11:55] details:
[00:11:58] Children and adults swimming in flooded streets, traveling in
[00:12:01] rafts and boats, or friends improvising
[00:12:04] dives, are videos that are becoming common on social
[00:12:08] media, taking with humor the emergency caused by the rains,
[00:12:12] but for the director of risk management of the International University
[00:12:15] of Ecuador, this can be fatal, a current could come,
[00:12:19] what happened in Nepal, of course, everyone
[00:12:23] eh said no, it won't happen. They normalized the risk
[00:12:26] and suddenly there was this rockfall and the whole
[00:12:30] flood came and of course many
[00:12:33] perished. The case of the young man who was swept away by the current
[00:12:37] after yesterday's rain in Guayaquil is not the only one. In other
[00:12:40] cantons of Guayas, people have also been trapped in the middle of
[00:12:44] the current, because the river rose in a matter of
[00:12:47] seconds. On September 29, a pickup truck with
[00:12:51] workers was caught in the middle of the current in an area of the
[00:12:55] Lubula river in La Troncal, a place that is usually
[00:12:58] dry, but the river drastically rose in a matter of seconds
[00:13:02] due to upstream rains, trapping the occupants,
[00:13:06] claiming the lives of five. That's why experts are going to
[00:13:09] extreme precaution measures because nature is not behaving
[00:13:13] as usual. Another risk is that of coming into
[00:13:17] contact with stagnant water. Risk analysts say that there are
[00:13:20] actions that, of course, are entirely the responsibility of the
[00:13:24] authorities at their different levels. But given the scenario that
[00:13:27] Ecuador is experiencing with the El Niño phenomenon, the co-responsibility
[00:13:31] of people is essential.
[00:13:35] The president of Peru, Keiko Fujimori, sees great
[00:13:38] advantages in the arrival of the Pope, the Supreme
[00:13:41] Pontiff, to Peruvian territory, indicating that the Supreme
[00:13:45] Pontiff has Peru in his heart. They are preparing for
[00:13:49] the visit of the religious leader.
[00:13:53] Less than two weeks remain until the arrival.
[00:14:13] The country he holds in his heart will receive him with great joy. For us,
[00:14:16] it is a balm, it is a
[00:14:19] gift he gives us in the midst of the adversity
[00:14:23] we are beginning to face.
[00:14:29] We receive the Pope's arrival as a great blessing. The Holy Father's arrival will take place next November
[00:14:32] 11th, six days after Keiko Fujimori completes 100
[00:14:36] days as head of state. In light of this, she advanced part of her
[00:14:39] assessment, highlighting the points she considers to be
[00:14:43] successes of her administration. The assessment
[00:14:47] I do believe is that we
[00:14:50] are strongly impacting criminal
[00:14:53] organizations. The second is eh all the
[00:14:57] effort for the arrival of the El Niño phenomenon. The
[00:15:01] third is eh the work in
[00:15:04] education, in health, and in housing, water
[00:15:08] and sanitation. Without a doubt, there will be things to improve, and
[00:15:11] we are in that effort, she assured
[00:15:14] that education will be one of the legacies of her government. That is why the
[00:15:18] executive seeks to officially announce the school discipline plan in the
[00:15:21] coming days. Little by little, what
[00:15:25] was lost in 15 years is being recovered: discipline, order, respect
[00:15:29] for authority. In that sense, we are very satisfied that
[00:15:32] just the knowledge that there will be a
[00:15:36] regulation measures are being taken in
[00:15:39] schools. The president reiterated that 200 schools
[00:15:42] will be built and another three thousand will be reconditioned
[00:15:45] during her government.
[00:15:49] Changing the subject, we know that the anti-immigrant policy of what has
[00:15:52] been President Donald Trump in the United States and what is known as the
[00:15:56] ICE migratory era, has generated certain repercussions
[00:16:00] for those inhabitants who perhaps do not have their documents in order,
[00:16:04] perhaps are in processes and some procedures. They say
[00:16:07] they are afraid, and now another piece of
[00:16:10] news is added.
[00:16:13] Empty streets, businesses with few customers. Something feels
[00:16:17] different these days in this Latino neighborhood in Virginia.
[00:16:21] We are in the Arlandria neighborhood, very close to the
[00:16:26] the capital. Let's put the
[00:16:28] salad on. Here we find Maria
[00:16:32] Linares, owner of Pulgarcito, which is also a well-known nickname for
[00:16:36] El Salvador. People are not going out right now, that
[00:16:39] is the saddest thing we have, that people do not
[00:16:43] want to go out, it is something we hear over and over
[00:16:46] again here, merchants who say that ICE operations are also
[00:16:50] hitting their pockets.
[00:16:53] They have given that blow a name, the ICE tax or ICE
[00:16:57] tax, it is a term that is beginning to be adopted to
[00:17:01] describe the economic cost of the aggressive immigration policies of
[00:17:04] President Donald Trump's government.
[00:17:07] Linares has been running the restaurant for 27
[00:17:10] years. She tells us that only during the COVID-19
[00:17:13] pandemic has she seen anything like this. This is for
[00:17:16] takeout, but there is a difference: back then,
[00:17:20] she was able to keep her staff. This
[00:17:23] time, no. The figures show the
[00:17:25] impact. Rookins, a research center
[00:17:29] based in Washington, analyzed 64 cities where ICE
[00:17:32] arrests increased the most. Six months
[00:17:35] later, those cities had, on average,
[00:17:38] 0.43% fewer jobs than would have been
[00:17:42] expected without that increase in operations. The ICE
[00:17:46] tax refers to the consequence of the lack of labor. With the
[00:17:50] decline in the immigrant workforce, many products that depend on
[00:17:54] that labor become more expensive. Added to this are Trump's tariff policy
[00:17:57] and high gasoline prices, a disastrous combination
[00:18:01] for employers. In a statement
[00:18:03] to CNN, the government rejected that the hardening of the...
[00:18:37] her space and sublet a part to a cell phone repair stand.
[00:18:40] One can't give so much discount
[00:18:43] because how does one survive, how can one buy
[00:18:47] products, how does one pay utilities, how does one pay
[00:18:51] rent, because rent doesn't
[00:18:53] forgive. But the impact is not limited to small businesses like
[00:18:57] these. Americas Boys, an organization that advocates for
[00:19:00] immigrants, says it can also affect sectors that rely
[00:19:05] In agriculture, for example, they record that
[00:19:08] 68% of workers are immigrants and that
[00:19:11] 42% of them are undocumented. Immigrants
[00:19:15] also represent almost 40% of home caregivers
[00:19:18] and 39% of those who
[00:19:22] work in landscaping. Of the latter, 24%
[00:19:24] are undocumented. It may seem like a
[00:19:28] problem that only affects immigrants, but its
[00:19:31] effects can go further. Immigrants not only
[00:19:34] work, they also pay rent, buy products, and
[00:19:37] services, and sustain businesses like these. Ione
[00:19:41] Molinares, CNN. Arlandria,
[00:19:44] Virginia.
[00:19:47] In recent hours, the Barranquilla photographer Alex
[00:19:51] Bisbal was recognized for a spectacular photo he
[00:19:54] recently took that made him worthy of this tremendous
[00:19:58] award.
[00:20:01] "The Great Divide" is the title of this photograph with which the
[00:20:05] Colombian Alex Bizbal was recognized. He won first place in the
[00:20:08] prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2026
[00:20:11] contest. The Barranquilla native, based in Madrid,
[00:20:14] Spain, received this distinction at the Natural History
[00:20:18] Museum in London, the institution that organizes the event. And
[00:20:21] this photo, let's say, allows you to see it in
[00:20:25] a very visual way, that effect of a
[00:20:29] simple human intervention within an ecosystem. The image portrays
[00:20:33] the Great Salt Lake in Utah, United States, showing how
[00:20:37] human intervention transforms ecosystems. To achieve
[00:20:40] this shot, Bisbal made several flights and captured more than
[00:20:44] 100 images from a moving small plane. Photography in
[00:20:48] nature conservation plays a very important role because it
[00:20:52] takes you to places to meet animals,
[00:20:55] characters, lives, ecosystems that you would have been able to know
[00:20:59] or observe. Alex Bisbal's work combines
[00:21:02] engineering, research and aerial photography to
[00:21:05] document human impact on water bodies. In this
[00:21:08] edition, the event received more than 65 thousand photographs from
[00:21:12] 121 countries, an international recognition that
[00:21:15] highlights Colombian talent and brings to light the
[00:21:19] environmental challenges of the
[00:21:21] planet.
[00:21:24] We're going to our commercial break, but we'll be back with more
[00:21:28] information.
[00:21:30] Awareness about bone and joint health.
[00:22:24] Our story was built by people, neighbors helping
[00:22:27] neighbors, standing side by side with those who trust
[00:22:31] us, to protect what matters most and help build our
[00:22:34] communities, being there when needed
[00:22:38] most, across borders,
[00:22:41] across generations,
[00:22:45] still growing, still giving,
[00:22:48] still just getting started.
[00:24:07] We continue with more information through Primera Plana.
[00:24:11] Tomorrow, October 31st, this month ends, but it is important
[00:24:15] to raise awareness about the topic of our health,
[00:24:18] talking about bones, joints, and also muscles,
[00:24:21] as that is a fundamental part. But how do the
[00:24:25] experts tell us how to take care of them and have
[00:24:29] better treatment? Today on Primera Plana we talk about your health,
[00:24:33] so
[00:24:33] take care of it.
[00:24:42] When you've had to learn to walk again, you don't take even the
[00:24:46] simplest movements for granted. Robert Banelli had already been a three-time
[00:24:50] karate triple crown champion, but after leaving the
[00:24:53] sport, he had to face another rival: his own
[00:24:57] body. We knew my hips were completely
[00:25:00] deteriorated, there was nothing we could do about it, and
[00:25:03] the more I waited, the worse they got. Banelli weighed almost
[00:25:06] 150 kg and often had to use a wheelchair
[00:25:10] to get around, but he was told that surgery to
[00:25:14] replace both hips was not an option until he lost
[00:25:17] weight. At Orlando Health, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kenneth
[00:25:21] Sans asked Vanelli to lose at least
[00:25:24] 13.5 kg. Since exercising was painful for
[00:25:27] him, the athlete focused on low-impact activities like
[00:25:30] walking in the pool. He also improved his
[00:25:34] diet, hydration, and rest. In about six
[00:25:38] months, he lost more than 100 pounds, which allowed
[00:25:41] a newer surgical technique to be used. 15
[00:25:44] minutes after my surgery, I was already walking, smiling, and
[00:25:47] laughing. Now, the simple act of being able to climb stairs
[00:25:51] is exciting. When I do it, I have to stop for a moment and
[00:25:54] say, "Wow, I just did that." For the health minute,
[00:25:58] I'm Berta
[00:25:59] Ramos.
