[00:00:12] today the ruins, the use of
[00:00:19] The plan to install renewable energy in Catalonia, the plans received more than
[00:00:23] 12,000 allegations from the territory, town councils and affected
[00:00:26] entities criticize that they have not been taken into account while the... Government says
[00:00:30] that it will review the plan to seek
[00:00:34] will have to allocate more than 5% of consensus. Italy and Denmark link
[00:00:37] crime to uncontrolled immigration and demand repatriation centers
[00:00:41] outside the European Union
[00:00:44] follow it to the letter in the following the Ceuta crisis. The Spanish government is committed to returning minors to their
[00:00:47] families. Those who cannot return will be distributed among the
[00:00:51] communities in a process that already has the opposition of three communities where
[00:00:54] the PP governs in
[00:00:56] Vox.
[00:00:59] One out of every three cases of electricity fraud recorded in Spain
[00:01:02] is in Catalonia, some individuals have taken Endesa to court
[00:01:06] because they had received unjustified fraud sanctions, the justice system
[00:01:10] has given them the right.
[00:01:13] It's a surprise when they call me and tell me that no, that the company
[00:01:16] has accepted that I was
[00:01:19] falsely accused and that they will refund my
[00:01:22] money.
[00:01:25] Western Europe is experiencing the hottest start to summer in history,
[00:01:28] according to. Pernicus, especially in Spain, France, the
[00:01:32] United Kingdom and some areas of Germany. The sea water
[00:01:36] also registered its historical maximum in
[00:01:38] July.
[00:01:40] The Department of Culture is studying the creation of a national theater company, as
[00:01:44] contemplated in the project of the new artistic director of the TNC, Josep
[00:01:48] Maria Mestres. This would be added to the already
[00:01:51] announced National Dance
[00:01:52] Company.
[00:02:27] km, three times the Good afternoon. The government has received more
[00:02:32] storm that is advancing through central than 12,000 allegations regarding the plan, the plan to promote and regulate renewable energies
[00:02:36] in Catalonia, a plan for 2050 that must allow
[00:02:39] Catalonia to emerge from the tail end of Europe in green energies. Since its
[00:02:43] presentation, it has faced strong opposition in the territory, with more
[00:02:46] than 300 municipalities demanding that it be reviewed from top to bottom. The
[00:02:50] Generalitat says it will take into account all allegations that
[00:02:53] are technically viable.
[00:02:57] Entities, fisheries and a representation of the local world
[00:03:00] staged their rejection of the plan today, believing that the
[00:03:04] renewable energy planning on the
[00:03:06] this is clearly under the table would mean the destruction of a lot of agricultural and
[00:03:09] natural land, in addition to ensuring that it violates about forty points of
[00:03:12] different laws, which is why they make this demand to the Generalitat. First
[00:03:16] of all, we ask you to withdraw the plan and, secondly, we
[00:03:20] ask for a moratorium on macro-industrial renewable energy
[00:03:23] projects until there is a well-made, approved
[00:03:27] maintain the dictatorial regime of and consensual plan with the citizens. More than
[00:03:30] 300 municipalities from different regions are organizing into an
[00:03:33] association to modify the plan and make themselves heard. A new
[00:03:37] plan needs to be made, a plan has been presented to the country
[00:03:41] that has been rushed in any way, without listening to
[00:03:44] the territory, only providing for the interests of energy companies
[00:03:47] and vulture funds that want to get rich. The
[00:03:51] Generalitat is selling the narrative that the delegations
[00:03:54] made by the municipalities are a way of
[00:03:58] participating, a participation of the municipal world. This is not the case,
[00:04:02] this is manipulation by the ministry. The government insists
[00:04:06] that the allegations, so far 12,000, must serve to adjust
[00:04:09] the initial proposal to the needs of each place. What we will do
[00:04:13] now is analyze all these allegations that we have received,
[00:04:16] incorporate all those that are technically and legally valid, so they will
[00:04:20] lead us to improve the document and from there develop a new more
[00:04:24] consensual proposal during the second period of public information. But neither
[00:04:27] town councils, nor entities, nor the Catalan network for a just
[00:04:31] energy transition see it as sufficient and will propose an
[00:04:34] alternative plan for responsible
[00:04:36] renewable energies.
[00:04:39] Most of the allegations are from the most affected territories.
[00:04:43] Let's look at the map. Here it is clearly seen how most of the solar
[00:04:47] panels would be installed in Central Catalonia in the Terres de Ponent and
[00:04:50] instead the wind turbines would be concentrated in the south of
[00:04:54] Catalonia in Empordà. This is what the Plan provides,
[00:04:58] the first renewable energy plan in Catalonia that has been put
[00:05:01] in writing.
[00:05:03] With the installation of renewables in buildings and artificialized soils, it is not
[00:05:07] enough to achieve the objectives of green energy production. To continue
[00:05:11] advancing, it will be necessary to occupy. with solar panels and wind turbines,
[00:05:14] 1.2% of the territory, including unurbanized
[00:05:17] and agricultural areas. What is
[00:05:20] the objective of the Plan? To regulate the distribution of wind
[00:05:23] and photovoltaic renewable installations, defining the
[00:05:27] priority locations based on a package of criteria that
[00:05:30] exclude, for example, protected areas for their geological value of
[00:05:34] cultural heritage. How will the installation of
[00:05:37] renewables be distributed? The plan sets objectives for each municipality,
[00:05:41] but also sets a maximum limit, no Catalan municipality
[00:05:46] its surface to the generation of renewable energies.
[00:05:50] Does it foresee expropriation of land for energy
[00:05:53] use? The plan does not imply in any case
[00:05:56] the expropriation of land for energy uses. Nor does it
[00:06:00] establish an exclusive land reserve for energy use.
[00:06:03] Objective 2050.
[00:06:06] The acceleration of the energy transition that the Plan entails, aims for
[00:06:10] Catalonia to have achieved by 2050. a totally
[00:06:13] decarbonized and carbon neutral energy system. Currently, more
[00:06:17] than 60% of energy depends on fossil
[00:06:20] fuels.
[00:06:24] One in three cases opened for electricity fraud in Spain
[00:06:27] are in Catalonia. From January to June, almost
[00:06:31] 2,800 were opened in Catalonia, out of almost
[00:06:34] 39,000 in the whole country. The vast majority of these
[00:06:37] energy frauds, 97% come from economic
[00:06:40] activities or installations. intended for criminal activities such as marijuana
[00:06:44] plantations, only 3% are from individuals
[00:06:48] and of these it is not always proven that there is fraud, now we
[00:06:51] will show you two cases, two individuals that Endesa
[00:06:54] sanctioned accusing them of having a double connection, they went to
[00:06:58] justice and the sanction was withdrawn.
[00:07:02] He comes out onto the landing to show us the meter. Last year, without him
[00:07:05] knowing, Endesa technicians carried out an inspection and he received
[00:07:09] a fine of 5,500 euros for electricity fraud. They estimate
[00:07:13] that in the last year I have consumed about 30,000
[00:07:16] kilowatt hours, which is a huge amount, but well, and that I have 10 days
[00:07:20] to fix this connection. He verified
[00:07:23] with his own technician that he had no anomalies in the
[00:07:26] installation and asked the company for explanations. They
[00:07:30] continue not to answer, they continue, this is the report that they determined, you
[00:07:33] have a double connection and we will proceed with the judicial process. He paid to avoid
[00:07:37] more problems, but he reported it to the courts and before the trial it
[00:07:41] is a surprise when they call me and tell me that the company has
[00:07:44] accepted that I was falsely accused and that
[00:07:48] they would refund my money, I ran the risk, apart from being put on a defaulters
[00:07:51] list, that they would cut off my electricity supply. This is exactly what
[00:07:55] happened to this family for 12 days. They cut off our
[00:07:58] electricity in the middle of January, in the middle of a cold snap, we had two
[00:08:02] children who were minors, one 10 and the other 14 years old, we had to rent a
[00:08:05] compressor so that the heating and the lights in the house worked.
[00:08:09] supposedly they also had a double connection. Show me where
[00:08:13] I have this, tell me, it's here, he says no, no, no, because you have the pool and
[00:08:19] pool, they checked and found
[00:08:21] nothing. Justice finally sided with them. The
[00:08:25] Barcelona court considers that Endesa, precipitately and improperly,
[00:08:29] cut off their supply without conclusive evidence of fraud
[00:08:32] and that it caused them a prejudice that the company must
[00:08:36] compensate. It orders them to return the 6,400
[00:08:39] euros they had paid for a non-existent fraud. The consequence
[00:08:43] is extremely burdensome for the consumer, ending up with an absolutely
[00:08:46] exorbitant bill, we are talking about domestic consumers
[00:08:49] receiving bills of 20, 25.
[00:08:53] 35,000 euros
[00:08:55] for 50 m2 flats. Sources
[00:08:58] from Endesa consulted by TV3 assure that the cases that reach
[00:09:02] the courts represent a very small part of the actions they take and
[00:09:06] that they are isolated cases that do not imply a widespread
[00:09:09] problem in the fraud detection system. They also
[00:09:12] point out that there are also favorable sentences for the company, they measure,
[00:09:16] judge and execute, they have nothing to do, we decided to report,
[00:09:19] we knew it was fighting against a concrete wall, but
[00:09:23] we had done nothing and we had been put in the
[00:09:37] crisis, Italy and Denmark have issued a joint statement to reject
[00:09:41] uncontrolled immigration. Their prime ministers, Mette
[00:09:44] Frederiksen and Giorgia Meloni also call for the
[00:09:47] construction of migrant deportation centers in third countries.
[00:09:51] Meloni of the far right and Frederiksen of the Social Democrats
[00:09:54] are currently the only female prime ministers in the European Union and
[00:09:57] share a very restrictive position regarding
[00:10:01] immigration. The text highlights the negative
[00:10:04] effects that, according to them, the arrival of irregular immigrants
[00:10:08] has on the crime rate and on public
[00:10:10] services.
[00:10:13] Meanwhile, in Ceuta, the registration of migrant minors who arrived
[00:10:16] 10 days ago continues. The Spanish government wants to prioritize being able to return
[00:10:20] them to their families, but those who cannot be returned will have to
[00:10:23] be distributed among the... autonomous communities and three Popular Party
[00:10:26] communities that govern with Vox have already said, Manu Alonso, that they will
[00:10:30] not attend Thursday's meeting with the ministry precisely to address this
[00:10:33] issue.
[00:10:37] Yes, according to the Minister of Territorial Policy, Angel Victor Torres,
[00:10:41] there are about 1400 minors already
[00:10:44] registered, but he assumes that there will be many more
[00:10:47] because in the streets of Ceuta there are still
[00:10:51] many queues of minors who want to register, as...
[00:10:55] you said, the priority of the Spanish government is family reunification
[00:10:58] and the PP has already confirmed its attendance at Thursday's
[00:11:02] meeting with the Ministry of Childhood, who has said that they will
[00:11:05] not go are the vice presidents of the autonomous communities
[00:11:08] of Extremadura, Castilla y León and also Aragon, these
[00:11:12] three communities where the PP and Vox govern in coalition
[00:11:16] will not attend. Sources from the Ministry of Childhood downplay this non-attendance
[00:11:19] because they say it is a very technical meeting, but even
[00:11:23] if it doesn't happen. the important meeting that will be held
[00:11:27] at the end of August, which will be the inter-territorial meeting on childhood, well, in the
[00:11:30] end, what prevails is the immigration law that obliges the
[00:11:34] autonomous communities to receive these minors.
[00:11:37] Meanwhile, the government of Ceuta, 11 days after this migration
[00:11:41] crisis, estimates that there are between 8,000 and 11,000
[00:11:43] people in the streets of the autonomous city, including
[00:11:47] minors and
[00:11:48] adults.
[00:11:51] Hundreds of unaccompanied minor migrants are at the door of the... Ceuta
[00:11:55] Police Station waiting to register, a laborious
[00:11:58] process that involves long queues and moments of tension. So
[00:12:02] far, some 1,400 minors have been registered. Once
[00:12:05] this process is completed, the Spanish government will try above all to ensure
[00:12:09] that the minors return to their families, as stated by Minister
[00:12:12] Angel Víctor Torres, who visited Ceuta
[00:12:15] today.
[00:12:20] that are in Ceuta, for this a process must be carried out that is not easy, but that must be the
[00:12:24] priority.
[00:12:33] their countries will be transferred to the peninsula and distributed
[00:12:36] among the autonomous communities. The distribution system will be decided
[00:12:40] in several meetings. The first one this Thursday in Madrid, in which
[00:12:44] controversy is assured. Vox, which
[00:12:46] shares autonomous governments with the PP, says it will not
[00:12:49] attend and advocates for repatriation. The PP
[00:12:53] will attend the meeting and will comply.
[00:13:12] Therefore, there is no need to negotiate anything, the work is already done, what the Spanish government
[00:13:15] has to decide is whether it wants to continue doing the work as
[00:13:19] it has been doing until now or wants to return to what it was before and continue to strain
[00:13:22] Catalonia, we bet on continuing. and as before, and that
[00:13:26] Catalonia remains excluded, amid citizen protests, the Spanish government
[00:13:30] says it has increased the personnel and resources allocated to managing the crisis
[00:13:33] in Ceuta. In fact, the Ministry of Defense has confirmed that it has canceled all
[00:13:37] permits for military personnel stationed in the city until further
[00:13:40] notice and in anticipation of more massive entries
[00:13:43] of immigrants.
[00:13:45] There is controversy over the landing of a Chinese car manufacturer in Ferrol in
[00:13:49] Galicia. According to the newspapers El Mundo and El País, the army and the
[00:13:53] CNI would have expressed their concern because the new
[00:13:56] factory would be near the naval base of Ferrol and the Navantia shipyards,
[00:14:00] both the Junta and the Spanish government consider
[00:14:03] this investment of one billion euros by the Chinese group,
[00:14:07] manufacturer of the well-known brand MG, to be strategic. It would be
[00:14:10] its first factory in Europe. Minister Óscar
[00:14:14] López defended it this
[00:14:15] morning.
[00:14:19] Those reports, those analyzes and
[00:14:23] that it could be. compatible with, as I say,
[00:14:26] guaranteeing industrial development, job creation, and also national security.
[00:14:30] surprising, difficult to understand
[00:14:33] that a department of the central government
[00:14:37] makes these pronouncements now when at no time was there any talk of any
[00:14:41] lack of security or any
[00:14:45] military risk, and in any case, it is also a bit surprising that at these moments
[00:14:49] the greatest risk to national security comes from a car factory that wants
[00:14:52] to be installed in Ferrol.
[00:15:00] A Ukrainian drone attack has left 13 dead and 75 wounded in
[00:15:04] Tatarstan, 100 km east of Moscow. According to
[00:15:07] Ukrainian media, the target was the country's main oil
[00:15:11] refinery. The Kremlin has also bombed Kharkiv, causing five
[00:15:15] civilian casualties.
[00:15:18] Ukraine is short of missiles to defend itself, but day by day it demonstrates its
[00:15:21] offensive capacity with drones. Even at long
[00:15:25] distances. as long as the 1,200 km that separate them from Tatarstan, where
[00:15:29] today an oil refinery was attacked. There have been a
[00:15:32] dozen dead and 75 wounded, it is not known if it also affected
[00:15:35] a drone manufacturing complex. very close by. The Russian
[00:15:39] Ministry of Defense says it has shot down some drones over the area out of a total of
[00:15:43] 456 intercepted during the night in the country.
[00:15:47] Russia also attacks Ukrainian energy resources, such as this gas
[00:15:50] complex in the Sumy region. It is a struggle in which to the
[00:15:54] economic losses must be added those of civilians. Today in the Kharkiv
[00:15:58] region there were at least five deaths in an apartment block, which are added to the three that occurred
[00:16:01] just yesterday. On the other side of the border, in Belgorod, a Ukrainian
[00:16:05] attack also left a... before five dead. Belgorod has
[00:16:09] been one of the Russian municipalities that has suffered the most attacks in this
[00:16:12] war, precisely because of its proximity to the border, but Ukrainian
[00:16:16] drones are moving further and further to attack logistical
[00:16:19] targets, but also to spread among Russians the
[00:16:22] feeling that Putin's so-called special operation is not something
[00:16:26] that happens far away, but that affects them directly. However,
[00:16:29] to continue doing this, they need a very intense drone manufacturing
[00:16:33] rate that it is not known how long they will be able to maintain.
[00:16:38] It is unusual for a Ukrainian attack to be capable of causing so many casualties in
[00:16:41] Russian territory. Cristina Solías explains
[00:16:44] it to us.
[00:16:46] In Russia, there hadn't been such a lethal attack for more than 2 years,
[00:16:50] and in previous times it had always been close to the border with
[00:16:54] Ukraine and not 1,200 km away as happened this
[00:16:57] time. Ukraine does not usually cause as much damage as Russia because
[00:17:01] its drones are not as destructive as the missiles launched
[00:17:04] by the Russian army, but these. has also been the most
[00:17:08] significant in terms of the civilian population in Russian territory,
[00:17:11] this is largely explained by the fact that the Kremlin has
[00:17:15] unprotected the regions to concentrate the vast
[00:17:18] majority of its defenses in the Russian
[00:17:21] capital, for example, here we have seen in recent weeks how anti-aircraft
[00:17:25] systems have been installed with cranes on the rooftops of skyscrapers
[00:17:29] and the figures also confirm it, only last
[00:17:32] July, of the more than 6,000 drones that Ukraine launched
[00:17:35] against Moscow, only one
[00:17:37] managed to penetrate all the defensive rings. In
[00:17:41] contrast, we see how every day Ukrainian devices
[00:17:45] strike targets deep inside Russia.
[00:17:48] profunda.
[00:17:51] This at a time when Russia is losing military weight and influence in
[00:17:54] Syria. After a year and a half of negotiations, Moscow renounces
[00:17:58] control of its bases in Tartus and Latakia
[00:18:01] which pass to Syrian sovereignty. Russia will
[00:18:04] maintain its presence there, but with a much
[00:18:08] more diluted role than in recent decades.
[00:18:11] The Syrian Foreign Minister visits satisfied the airport of the
[00:18:15] fourth city of his country, Latakia. For more than a decade
[00:18:18] these facilities were de facto Russian territory that had
[00:18:22] a large air base there, today they return to Syrian
[00:18:26] sovereignty. After a year and a half of negotiations, the two
[00:18:29] governments have reached an agreement to dilute the presence of the Russian
[00:18:33] army at this airport and also the most important port, that of
[00:18:36] Tartus. All. lose their military character. Damascus
[00:18:40] regains control and officially they become joint training
[00:18:43] centers for the two armies. Russia does not
[00:18:47] abandon Syria, but if it remains under conditions that greatly reduce its
[00:18:50] military
[00:18:52] power.
[00:18:54] For history, scenes like these remain when hundreds of
[00:18:58] Russian soldiers, dozens of ships and planes came to the bases
[00:19:02] that were fundamental to
[00:19:05] Assad and brutally repress the opposition.
[00:19:07] the population. Without effective control of the Port of Tartus, Putin
[00:19:11] also loses the only naval base he had outside Russia or occupied
[00:19:15] Ukraine and which served Moscow for half a century to
[00:19:18] project power and influence in the Eastern
[00:19:21] Mediterranean. The Syrian President, ex-Rebel Ahmed Al-Shara,
[00:19:25] has met with Putin twice, taking into account how he supported
[00:19:29] Al-Assad, he could have expelled Russia from his country. In the end, he
[00:19:32] opted for strategic pragmatism, diluting ties
[00:19:36] but not completely breaking them, since Moscow
[00:19:39] is still a major supplier of food, energy and
[00:19:43] military spare parts, and Al-Shara has also had to swallow a very
[00:19:47] bitter pill, in exchange for maintaining a minimal presence in
[00:19:50] Syria, he repeatedly asked Putin for the extradition of
[00:19:53] Bashar, exiled in Moscow, but the Russian president
[00:19:55] always refused.
[00:19:58] Israel uses all means at its disposal to expand its
[00:20:01] territory, even archaeology. It is enough
[00:20:05] that a place has been inhabited in the past. by Jews to
[00:20:08] claim control. This is the case of Sebastia, a
[00:20:12] Palestinian enclave with a long history behind
[00:20:14] it. 6,000 years old is the
[00:20:18] settlement of Sebastia in the north of the West Bank, where, among many
[00:20:22] others, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians,
[00:20:25] Romans, and also Jews have passed. It was in fact the capital of the kingdom
[00:20:29] of Northern Israel. According to the Israeli government, there is sufficient
[00:20:32] reason to approve an expropriation plan of 2
[00:20:35] km2 of Palestinian territory. visit
[00:21:02] archaeology as a weapon to appropriate territories has
[00:21:05] aroused the attention and indignation of both the international
[00:21:09] community and some Israeli
[00:21:11] archaeologists.
[00:21:14] to
[00:21:18] focus on very short periods of time and then create..." this mental and physical
[00:21:22] image of this land as it was only
[00:21:25] Jewish since the beginning of time. The objective is clear,
[00:21:29] to legitimize the presence in territory. Jewish settlers
[00:21:34] West Bank, but relying on history is a double-edged
[00:21:38] sword.
[00:21:42] Italy can claim ownership over
[00:21:45] Spain and England, Greece can claim ownership
[00:21:49] over up until... to India using
[00:21:51] archaeology to determine the
[00:21:54] borders, this is
[00:21:57] basically.
[00:22:04] alien to everything, these stones that have been here since
[00:22:08] long before the current conflict and that hopefully will continue
[00:22:20] situation due to forest fires, the flames are forcing thousands of people to evacuate and putting
[00:22:24] emergency teams against the ropes.
[00:22:28] 22,000 people have had to be evacuated due to the virulence of the
[00:22:31] forest fires in British Columbia in western
[00:22:34] Canada, an 80-year-old woman died while trying to flee one
[00:22:38] of these fires. The province is in a state of emergency because there are up to
[00:22:41] 102 active forest fires that are putting extinction
[00:22:45] services to the test. Half of these fires are out of
[00:22:48] control.
[00:22:51] This is the force of Typhoon Dolfin after making landfall in eastern China
[00:22:54] with winds of 120 km/h. The
[00:22:57] storm has caused floods and the evacuation of one
[00:23:01] million people has been ordered. In metropolises like Shanghai,
[00:23:04] record rainfall has accumulated in 150
[00:23:08] years. The city's airports have suspended almost
[00:23:11] 100 flights. The typhoon formed in the middle of the Pacific Ocean
[00:23:15] and has traveled 6,000
[00:23:17] usual. As of now. a tropical
[00:23:22] China, losing
[00:23:23] intensity.
[00:23:26] It seemed like a clear case of possible homicide. A woman's body found in
[00:23:30] a bag on a road in a remote region of Australia. The police
[00:23:34] opened investigations at the crime scene and the body was moved
[00:23:37] for forensic examination. Then it was found that the
[00:23:41] remains were not human, but rather a doll with very
[00:23:44] realistic and detailed characteristics, dressed and even
[00:23:47] with a nose piercing. The police spokeswoman
[00:23:51] certified that the homicide investigation has been
[00:23:55] closed,
[00:23:58] and today we will also talk about the scientific study that warns that heat
[00:24:02] waves could triple by 2050,
[00:24:05] especially attention in cities in the Baix Llobregat also
[00:24:09] a croissant, it is one of the initiatives of the Lleida regions
[00:24:13] to attract curious people who want
[00:24:34] Europe has experienced the hottest start to summer in history,
[00:24:37] according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service of the European
[00:24:41] Union. The months of June and July have been
[00:24:45] especially warm and dry, especially in Spain, France and
[00:24:49] the United Kingdom. A combination that has favored forest
[00:24:52] fires with record emissions and
[00:24:55] also the sea, the temperature has also reached
[00:24:58] historical highs in both the Atlantic and the Western
[00:25:01] Mediterranean.
[00:25:05] Precisely, in Catalonia yesterday, the buoys of Tarragona and
[00:25:08] Barcelona recorded temperatures above 30 degrees, very unusual
[00:25:11] readings. Bra Murriols has verified it first
[00:25:15] hand.
[00:25:17] That the sea water is very hot, it's not just a feeling, it's
[00:25:21] a reality and a persistent reality. throughout the year, the
[00:25:25] water temperature has been above average.
[00:25:29] Since the end of May, a maritime heat wave has been active
[00:25:33] and is still ongoing. In fact, yesterday the highest
[00:25:36] values on the Catalan coast were recorded. It was at two
[00:25:40] points in Barcelona and Tarragona where the buoys
[00:25:43] recorded a temperature that exceeded 30 degrees. A
[00:25:47] very unusual reading. All of this is worrying, but not just
[00:25:51] this specific peak, especially the duration of the
[00:25:54] overheating of the water. It has been almost three months since this
[00:25:58] maritime heat wave began, and of course, this can have
[00:26:01] effects on marine life and even on meteorology.
[00:26:05] All of this is a topic of conversation among
[00:26:07] bathers.
[00:26:10] The heat, a situation that, unfortunately, has come to stay.
[00:26:13] According to a new scientific study, by 2050, heat
[00:26:17] waves could triple in cities with more than 40,000 inhabitants.
[00:26:21] Here in Catalonia, the most significant increase would be on the coast of Baix
[00:26:25] Llobregat. Heat waves will triple in Spain
[00:26:29] before 2050, a new atlas developed by Barça.
[00:27:02] heat waves, more days of extreme heat will also imply more
[00:27:06] torrid nights and a greater need for cooling
[00:27:09] in buildings. Basically, urban environments will have to withstand
[00:27:13] climatic conditions for which they are not designed.
[00:27:17] The worse prepared your city is, the more difficult
[00:27:20] the future you will have to face. That's why the authors call for adapting
[00:27:23] municipalities with more shade public spaces designed to reduce
[00:27:27] the effect of heat. We must pedestrianize, we must
[00:27:30] create very green cities. And this is key, we must
[00:27:34] rehabilitate, regenerate neighborhoods. Extreme heat can
[00:27:37] push those who can afford it to move to cooler cities or
[00:27:41] neighborhoods. A new scientific study warns that precisely the
[00:27:45] actions that must be taken to adapt cities to extreme heat can
[00:27:49] end up making neighborhoods more expensive and displacing residents with fewer
[00:27:52] resources. Areas like these that we find near Collserola, with
[00:27:56] medium or low incomes but that have very good
[00:27:59] facilities, parks, open areas.
[00:28:03] and lower residential density are areas that make them more
[00:28:06] susceptible to this climate gentrification. According to this new
[00:28:09] study, the municipalities most vulnerable to climate gentrification are on the
[00:28:13] periphery of the metropolitan area, such as
[00:28:16] Badia del Vallès, Sant Adrià de Besòs or Sant Boi de Llobregat. We have always talked about
[00:28:19] gentrification in city centers, the most
[00:28:22] tourist-oriented areas, but these areas, we see, have a large heat
[00:28:26] island, and before this gentrification occurs,
[00:28:30] we must take it into account and act. and implement policies to
[00:28:33] mitigate this displacement. The authors insist that the goal is for the
[00:28:37] fight against the climate crisis to reduce inequalities, not
[00:28:49] of extinguishing the forest fires that are currently active on the
[00:28:53] peninsula. In Alma, it is calm, although the Tiric fire is evolving
[00:28:56] favorably. For now, the residents of Catí who were evacuated yesterday
[00:29:00] have not been able to return home.
[00:29:03] Firefighters expect to be able to stabilize the fire in the coming hours, which
[00:29:06] has already burned about 800 hectares. The other fires
[00:29:10] out of control are those of Naves de Sant Antonio in
[00:29:14] Segovia and Niebla in Huelva, which is the most worrying
[00:29:18] because the flames have affected a perimeter of 20,000 hectares of
[00:29:22] land and exceed the capacity of firefighters to fight
[00:29:25] it.
[00:29:28] And with two days to go until the eclipse, concern is growing in some towns of.
[00:29:32] for the influx of visitors expected in this area,
[00:29:36] one of the best to see this astronomical phenomenon. For
[00:29:39] this reason, the mayors of Matret, Sarós and La Granja d'Escarp
[00:29:43] have met with representatives of the Generalitat. They have agreed that the
[00:29:47] municipalities will close access to Montmaneu and several wooded
[00:29:50] areas so that in case of fire, emergency services can
[00:29:53] access them. Concern, then, for the influx of visitors
[00:29:57] who coexist with all kinds of initiatives to
[00:30:00] attract them.
[00:30:03] A student from the Lleida hospitality school has created
[00:30:07] the eclipse heart. It represents the sun
[00:30:10] as it is covered by the moon and uses
[00:30:13] coconut and butter. He has worked for three weeks until
[00:30:17] it was finished. In fact, this was a commission from the
[00:30:21] Bakers' Guild of Lleida and they will replicate it in
[00:30:24] different workshops to surprise locals and
[00:30:36] restaurateurs have also thought about the crowds that will travel to Lleida
[00:30:40] this week. Some have changed their routine and will open
[00:30:43] tomorrow, even though they usually close to rest. We
[00:30:47] thought we had to provide the best service to all the people who
[00:30:50] came from outside Lleida, so they also have places
[00:30:54] and options to go for lunch or dinner. Shopkeepers
[00:30:58] also want to make their products known.
