[00:00:00] they live here, in a town that every year receives more than [00:00:03] 200,000 visitors. [00:00:31] Passengers arriving from Italy at El Prat airport have [00:00:34] encountered few, almost testimonial controls. The national [00:00:37] police have requested identity documents on some planes right after [00:00:41] disembarking. [00:00:47] The Mont Rebei canyon is closed on the Aragon side due to a rockfall [00:00:51] that has forced the closure of the walkways and is not expected to [00:00:54] reopen throughout the summer, and there are already cancellations [00:00:58] of reservations. [00:01:02] economic cooperation and sign a free Hundreds of people protest in [00:01:04] Sóller against tourist overpopulation in the Balearic Islands. The [00:01:08] traffic collapse in this municipality is so great that some [00:01:11] residents say they are already asking family and friends not to visit them in [00:02:09] day with remnants of clouds that will give way to a sunny [00:02:12] day. In the afternoon, there will be some isolated showers in the high [00:02:16] in ruins 10 months after Pyrenees. The temperature will rise and could reach [00:02:19] 38 or 39 degrees [00:02:21] journey planned for the beginning of in the interior of the regions of [00:02:22] Girona. [00:02:30] Hello, good evening! This Saturday was the first day that controls were put in place [00:02:34] pre-Pyrenees, especially in the at Spanish airports and ports for passengers arriving from [00:02:37] Italy. At El Prat airport, documents were checked for almost [00:02:41] seventy travelers from third countries on two [00:02:45] Palestinians have died since flights from Italy. The Spanish government says that these checks will be intensified [00:02:49] and will be maintained at least until September [00:02:52] 7th. Spain has now implemented the same measure that the [00:02:56] Meloni government did last week, after seeing images of [00:02:59] the... entry of thousands of migrants into [00:03:01] Ceuta. [00:03:04] López and Rafinha had their first minutes of Passengers leaving calmly through the arrivals area has been the [00:03:08] usual trend throughout the day at El Prat airport. The random [00:03:11] checks announced by the Spanish government have been testimonial [00:03:14] and in the vast majority of flights from Italy, there have been none. [00:03:21] strip, on the day of [00:04:00] Schengen, the police do not have facilities to carry out passport [00:04:03] controls. That is why they checked passengers' documents at the [00:04:06] foot of the plane at the exit of the walkways that connect to the terminal. [00:04:10] In practice, the diplomatic clash between Spain and Italy currently has no [00:04:14] real effects, nor have long queues formed, nor have there been any [00:04:17] notable incidents. The Spanish government will extend the measure until September [00:04:20] 7th, and the Italian government is also not willing to review the controls until [00:04:24] August 15th. Miquel Save, TV3, El Prat [00:04:27] Airport. [00:04:30] For now, there is a standoff between Italy and Spain with little impact, [00:04:34] as we have seen, at the borders, but yes, on relations between the two [00:04:38] countries. Meloni first tightened the rope by closing the Schengen area with Spain, [00:04:41] and Sánchez took a week, but finally, he has also [00:04:45] decided to pull the rope, [00:04:46] The Montrebell gorge is closed in returning the favor with the same coin. [00:04:50] And to a certain extent, Spain's [00:04:52] torturing Espanyol, who were in their most solid form of reaction is understandable, it wouldn't make sense for the Spanish [00:04:55] government to simply stand by and do nothing. [00:04:59] This does not mean that Pedro Sánchez cannot try to gain political advantage from this [00:05:03] diplomatic clash, from this situation because it allows him [00:05:06] on the one hand to present himself or reassert [00:05:09] himself as this great benchmark, great progressive leader, [00:05:13] on the left worldwide and especially in Europe, [00:05:16] at home, it also allows him, with an eye on next year's general elections, to [00:05:19] show the way, to demonstrate what [00:05:23] a hypothetical PP and Vox government could be like, which is one of George Meloni's [00:05:27] great allies, and finally it also allows Pedro [00:05:30] Sánchez to recover the political agenda after some [00:05:34] months, let's remember, marked by corruption [00:05:37] scandals. [00:05:40] Sánchez, gaining advantage and... affirming himself as a progressive leader. Meloni, on [00:05:44] the other hand, takes advantage of the migratory crisis in Ceuta to reinforce her discourse against [00:05:48] immigration, a political struggle that comes at a delicate time for [00:05:51] the Italian Prime Minister, with the far right gaining [00:05:55] ground. [00:05:58] On Wednesday, the Spanish government sent a private request to the Italian one: the [00:06:01] Ceuta crisis has subsided and it is time to lift the restrictions in the Schengen [00:06:05] area and the controls on passengers from [00:06:07] Spain. Meloni's government had two options: heed [00:06:11] the request of a close ally and yield to Pedro Sánchez [00:06:15] or ignore the request and worsen tensions with [00:06:18] a government that, they say, promotes irregular immigration. According to [00:06:22] the Italian press, there was division in the coalition executive and in the end the supporters [00:06:26] of Meloni's hard line prevailed. The official argument, [00:06:29] which no other European partner has [00:06:32] bought, is that there could be new waves and terrorist [00:06:35] risks. Italy says it will not yield to ultimatums or [00:06:39] threats. For Meloni, the crisis would be an... [00:06:42] opportunity to remind Europe and her voters of her anti-immigration [00:06:45] profile, just when there are elections next year and a new [00:06:49] far-right party has emerged, led by this ex-general who is starting to [00:06:53] chip away at her votes. The gamble, however, has its risks. Suspending [00:06:57] European free movement in this way damages the image of a pragmatic leader she has [00:07:00] gained in Brussels, and prolonging the crisis harms hundreds [00:07:04] of thousands of Italians who go on holiday to Spain and are now exposed to [00:07:08] police checks. The question is who will give [00:07:11] in and lift the restrictions at the borders first, Rome or [00:07:15] Madrid. [00:07:18] Meanwhile, in Ceuta, hundreds of migrants continue in the [00:07:22] streets, waiting for their administrative situation to be resolved in [00:07:25] Spain. Humanitarian aid organizations like the Red Cross [00:07:28] cover their basic needs, such as food and [00:07:31] healthcare. For the city's president, Juan Jesús Vives, [00:07:35] the massive influx of migrants has caused an unsustainable [00:07:37] situation. He insists that the solution involves the return of these [00:07:41] people to Morocco. [00:07:44] the national government resolves it [00:07:47] immediately. And the city government [00:07:50] believes that that solution can only [00:07:54] come about through the return [00:07:57] to Morocco of all those who entered Ceuta [00:08:01] and remain in our city. The only way out [00:08:04] is Morocco, through the Tarajal border. [00:08:07] Tarajal. [00:08:14] Civil Protection has also issued a warning for violent weather tonight that will affect [00:08:17] mainly La Llitera and neighboring regions. These storms have been [00:08:21] moving from west to east towards the eastern Pyrenees in the afternoon, [00:08:24] and in some cases, they are strong. In [00:08:28] addition, they are accompanied by hail and strong gusts of wind. So far, [00:08:32] 112 has received more than 120 calls due to heavy rains that [00:08:36] have concentrated especially in the Pre-Pyrenees area, and [00:08:39] firefighters have received about thirty calls due to the storm, mostly for fallen [00:08:43] trees. [00:08:48] Well, still talking about storms, the ones that occurred on Thursday in the Mont Rebei [00:08:52] gorge are the cause of a rockfall that has damaged [00:08:56] the Montfalcó walkways, leading to the closure of this route on the western side, [00:08:59] which is one of the main attractions of this [00:09:02] area. They could be closed for the rest of the season, and there have [00:09:06] already been the first cancellations of [00:09:08] reservations. When hikers arrive at... [00:09:42] to use the walkways. Every year, about 100,000 people visit [00:09:46] the Mont Rebei canyon, and 40,000 enter the canyon [00:09:49] through here, through Montfalcó. At the Viacamp [00:09:52] tourist office, they are receiving many requests for [00:09:55] information. "And the Montfalcó stairs, they are closed [00:09:58] today." The Montfalcó stairs are very popular, [00:10:02] and so many people love doing this whole [00:10:06] excursion connected to the Mont Rebei canyon, and seeing that they can't access it, [00:10:09] it's messed them up. [00:10:25] For this reason, active tourism companies and hoteliers are asking [00:10:29] for the walkways to be repaired as soon as possible. Contact with the [00:10:32] region here, Ribagorza, which is the one that manages the walkway, [00:10:36] for next week, there are some technicians who will come to evaluate this, [00:10:39] okay, so we are in August and it's complicated [00:10:43] to say no, but well, we will try to make it as [00:10:46] quick as possible. Everything indicates that the walkways will be [00:10:50] closed for the rest of the tourist season. Alex Doro, [00:10:54] TV3. [00:10:57] In Castellón, the forest fire situation in the Sierra d'Engarcerán is improving. [00:11:01] The confinement that had been preventively established has been lifted, [00:11:05] and the 91 evacuated people have been able to [00:11:09] return home. The Culla fire is under control, but efforts [00:11:12] continue to be concentrated here to stabilize [00:11:15] its evolution. Initial investigations suggest [00:11:19] that the fires started due to lightning from a dry [00:11:22] storm. [00:11:26] Meanwhile, in Huelva, the Niebla forest fire remains uncontrolled, [00:11:30] already affecting some 4,000 hectares and maintaining a large deployment [00:11:33] of ground and air resources. The fire has forced the evacuation of more than [00:11:37] 300 people, and for now, firefighters cannot declare [00:11:41] the flames under control. New fronts have opened during the night, and the [00:11:44] situation remains complicated on the ground due to [00:11:47] constant wind [00:11:49] changes. [00:11:52] The group Bejenc Juriol has turned the pain from the 2022 fires [00:11:56] in Pont de Vilomara, where more than 1,700 hectares burned [00:12:00] in the middle of the fire season, into a [00:12:03] song. With a video clip, they want to pay [00:12:06] tribute to firefighters and call for prevention. [00:12:08] prevention. [00:12:22] Oliveres, leader of the rock band Juriol, finds [00:12:25] particularly moving. The song was born from a very sad place and a very [00:12:28] tragic experience, but it is also true that it has become a [00:12:32] message of gratitude to the firefighters. Her partner [00:12:35] is a firefighter, and in July 2022, when the Pont de Vilumara [00:12:38] fire broke out, he was on duty putting out another [00:12:42] fire. He could not have imagined that the flames would advance so quickly [00:12:46] as to surround the residential area of Les Brocardes in Sant Fruitós de [00:12:49] Bages. We have a firefighter app where you can see where we are located. [00:12:53] When I saw they were inside my garden, I thought, okay, [00:12:56] this is not going well. The fire has entered the house, [00:13:00] we'll see what happens. It was the only house in the urbanization that [00:13:04] burned down, reduced to ashes. The smell really affected me, [00:13:08] the smell of ash. The word ash itself came about because [00:13:11] that word kept coming to my mind. That's how the song was born, which [00:13:15] the group has now rereleased acoustically. We've made a [00:13:18] video clip with images provided by firefighters. It has been the most difficult [00:13:22] emotionally, but the easiest and quickest to write. It's [00:13:26] normal that what used to be a fire that we could [00:13:29] manage in a certain way, now they are monsters, they are [00:13:33] monsters that devour us and move at a speed [00:13:36] that we cannot catch up with. Rebuilding a life is not done in a year or two. [00:13:40] We have to think that my mother left with what she was wearing. It seems that the [00:13:44] scar can be closed now, but my goodness, no. And when summer comes, [00:13:48] eh, the family's nerves [00:13:51] are noticeable. It's like, oh, well, this summer, what will it be [00:13:55] like, how will [00:13:55] it go? [00:14:05] Tired of a tourism that they can no longer handle, hundreds of people have [00:14:09] taken to the streets in Sóller to denounce the tourist pressure in the [00:14:12] Balearic Islands. Under the slogan "Sóller to the limit," residents denounce [00:14:16] feeling abandoned by the administrations and demand [00:14:19] measures to curb a situation they consider [00:14:22] unsustainable. [00:14:25] Different messages, but with the same underlying idea: the fight [00:14:28] against tourist overpopulation. Sóller has about [00:14:31] 14,000 inhabitants. In summer, the population can almost triple. [00:14:35] A pressure that, according to residents, is felt in many [00:14:38] areas, including businesses. Caviures [00:14:41] la Lluna's shop, for example, has been converted into an [00:14:44] espadrille shop. And the old cinema, El Caser, is now a [00:14:48] five-star hotel. They complain that businesses cater to [00:14:52] tourism and that the town is becoming a... [00:14:56] invest in housing so that people can live on [00:15:00] our island. Also, well, [00:15:02] basically, reduce all the space that [00:15:06] tourism currently has. I feel very abandoned by the [00:15:09] institutions. The institutions don't want to regulate [00:15:13] housing or public service, that is, they have already [00:15:16] increased the frequency of coaches or buses to Sóller, but [00:15:20] it's not enough. Sóller is one of the most tourist-stressed municipalities, [00:15:23] and to get there there is only one road that [00:15:27] becomes a bottleneck. It connects the town with the port and with the rest of the island, [00:15:30] it is often collapsed. [00:15:34] You have to be aware if it rains or not to know if you will have a collapse and... [00:15:38] from Palma it takes an hour and a half. This generates a very great uncertainty, an overpopulation [00:15:42] that not only transforms the streets and businesses, but also alters the customs [00:15:46] of those who live in a town that every year receives more than [00:15:50] 200,000 [00:15:51] visitors. [00:16:00] These are images of the powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Japan [00:16:03] 10 days ago. At this hospital, the surgeons kept operating [00:16:07] in the middle of a patient's operation. The security camera [00:16:10] shows how the doctors try to protect the patient while everything moves around [00:16:14] them. About thirty people died in the [00:16:17] earthquake. [00:16:24] A significant visit from Volodymyr Zelensky to Serbia, [00:16:27] Putin's only remaining ally in Europe, apart from [00:16:30] Belarus. The Ukrainian president has set foot in Belgrade [00:16:34] for the first time, and he and his Serbian counterpart have agreed to improve [00:16:39] trade agreement. The Serbian president refuses to impose sanctions on [00:16:43] Russia, but for some months now he has softened his stance towards Ukraine, [00:16:46] partly because he aspires to join the European Union and partly [00:16:50] because he has elections [00:16:51] approaching. [00:16:55] And in Gaza, Israeli attacks continue to cause an incessant [00:16:59] trickle of deaths, despite the theoretical ceasefire agreed to last [00:17:02] October. The 2 million displaced people continue to live in misery, [00:17:05] crowded and surrounded. [00:17:16] It may seem like a playful image, the Gaza beach full of people, but it is the only alternative to the unbearable [00:17:20] heat of the displaced tents. Under the plastic [00:17:24] of the tents, temperatures rise so high that they become unbearable. [00:17:37] The heat, even in this weather, there's no electricity, no fans, [00:17:41] nothing. You understand me? [00:17:44] How? [00:17:46] More than 60% of Gaza's more than 2 million people have [00:17:50] lost their homes. The Strip remains [00:17:54] the ceasefire, and the sea is not clean and causes allergies to [00:17:58] those who bathe. [00:18:01] The sea made them suffer and they got allergies, even the sea water is not clean like before, I swear to God, my daughter Tleel is in the hospital because of the sea, our suffering has become very difficult, we are not like before, the situation has become tragic, tragic. [00:18:05] اول يعني والله العظيم هيبر بنت طلليل فيها في المستشفى من [00:18:08] ورا البحر يعني معاناتنا صارت صعبه جدا احنا مش [00:18:12] زي زمان الوضع صار ماساوي ماساوي Israel [00:18:16] Israel controls more than 60% of Gaza and has not ceased [00:18:19] its attacks. 1,257 [00:18:23] October. Despite the theoretical peace, the humanitarian situation [00:18:27] remains critical, with hundreds of thousands of people [00:18:30] living in tents, while Israel exerts strict control [00:18:33] over the entry of goods, and the sea, [00:18:36] despite everything, provides small joys to the [00:18:40] Gazans. [00:20:51] And now we are talking about a pioneering experiment originated in Catalonia that seeks [00:20:55] to investigate if it is possible to cultivate Spirulina in space. The [00:20:59] project is financed by the Spanish Space Agency and [00:21:02] the objective is that in the future, astronauts can grow this [00:21:05] type of algae, which has multiple properties, on [00:21:08] long-duration missions. [00:21:12] Spirulina is a type of bacterium with high nutritional [00:21:15] content that is cultivated on Earth. Now, they want to see how it [00:21:19] behaves in space and how it could be integrated into the daily lives of [00:21:22] astronauts. Spirulina captures the [00:21:25] CO2 we produce with our breathing. Through [00:21:28] photosynthesis, it ends up producing oxygen, which therefore regenerates [00:21:32] the atmosphere for the astronauts' breathing, and at the same [00:21:36] time it is edible, and therefore we are generating food. [00:21:39] The European base experiment will be carried out by a Spanish astronaut as part of a [00:21:43] mission to the International Space Station. One of the challenges is [00:21:46] to transport the cyanobacterium in a lightweight container, followed by [00:21:51] a whole series of mechanisms that have had to be highly miniaturized to [00:21:55] be able to fit all the needs into a very small device that can be [00:21:58] used by one person. This, in the end, is an operation that will be manual. We [00:22:02] will provide the lighting means to provide the [00:22:05] appropriate conditions for the growth of seedlings in microgravity. This [00:22:09] project comes from the Melissa Pilot [00:22:13] the European Space Agency. Here, they investigate sustainable systems to [00:22:16] make life in space possible, reducing dependence on... Earth, where [00:22:20] you generate a closed system where waste is [00:22:24] converted into products. You have the capacity to produce [00:22:27] oxygen, water and food that allows you to guarantee the [00:22:31] viability of the project and allows astronauts to live [00:22:34] in space for long periods of time without [00:22:39] Earth. And another resource of nutritional value they [00:22:43] work with is this curly cabbage known as [00:22:46] kale. The idea is that it can be grown in space and [00:22:49] could offer freshness, also the taste, the sensation of [00:22:53] eating a fruit, it can be more pleasant and also [00:22:56] because it hydrates, right? And that's because being able to obtain [00:23:00] fresh food on long-duration missions is one of the [00:23:03] scientists' goals. For now, the research on [00:23:06] spirulina is the first that will be carried out in space, on a [00:23:11] next [00:23:12] year. [00:23:16] Casa de l'Aigua amb Gas, Pitxi Catalan, offers you this space. [00:27:54] some cloud remnants, some very isolated storm that may have created this [00:27:57] morning, but above all marked also by a new mass of warm [00:28:01] air that will affect us... this Sunday and also the coming days [00:28:04] and that is that temperatures will remain four five 6 degrees [00:28:08] above what is usual at this time of year, practically all [00:28:12] week. Sunday morning still cloud remnants early on, but it will quickly [00:28:15] dissipate, the sun will prevail almost everywhere, a muggy [00:28:19] temperature, in fact there is a heat warning that [00:28:22] will affect the northeastern regions and will make us have values of more than [00:28:26] 35 degrees, the coastal pre-coastal areas of Barcelona and Girona, perhaps in some [00:28:29] parts of the Empordà they could reach 38 or 39. There will also be some afternoon [00:28:33] storms in the Pyrenees, [00:28:37] upper Pyrenees. Nighttime temperatures high with a lot [00:28:40] of mugginess due to all these clouds and daytime temperatures can [00:28:44] also reach many other places inland above 36, 37 [00:28:47] degrees. Valencian Country temperature rises, it will be sunny, some [00:28:51] low clouds between Castellón and Valencia, sunny also the Balearic [00:28:54] archipelago here very hot, a maximum expected in Palma of [00:28:57] 38 degrees and with a forecast of some storms that could arrive in the [00:29:01] afternoon in the principality of Andorra. In continental Europe, we also highlight the high [00:29:05] temperatures around the Mediterranean in Rome, a maximum expected of 38, [00:29:09] Athens, a minimum expected of 28. And in Paris, the [00:29:13] thermometer will also climb to 35 degrees. And in the coming days, the heat [00:29:16] will continue throughout the week, every afternoon there will surely be some showers in the [00:29:20] Pyrenees, perhaps the western [00:29:24] the eclipse, we believe that some storms will form in the northeastern [00:29:27] regions, around the Girona [00:29:29] regions. [00:30:30] Passengers arriving from Italy, at El Prat airport, [00:30:34] found few controls, almost testimonial, the national [00:30:37] police asked for identification documents on some planes as soon [00:30:41] as they disembarked. [00:30:49] the part of the strip due to a rockfall that has forced the closure of the [00:30:53] walkways and it is expected that it will not be able to reopen during the entire [00:30:56] summer, there are already cancellations of reservations.
