[00:00:12] the impact on sources and the price of
[00:00:22] A strong earthquake in Colombia measuring 7.4 magnitude caused
[00:00:23] a liberal and pacifist
[00:00:26] at least 111 deaths, a death toll that is still very provisional. Given the
[00:00:30] images arriving from the area and the dozens of
[00:00:33] missing people, it is very likely that it will end up increasing. The president of Espriella,
[00:00:37] who took office three days ago, has declared a state
[00:00:42] and the rest of the systemic of emergency. Good evening, the earthquake occurred early
[00:00:45] in the morning in the department of Chocó,
[00:00:48] Easy, but it has to be the priority with west of Bogotá. It affected cities like Pereira and Manizales, in the middle of
[00:00:52] the so-called coffee axis, a very visited area by
[00:00:55] tourists. There is no record of any Catalans
[00:00:58] affected.
[00:01:00] We are trying to speak with all the colleagues who live in
[00:01:04] Pereira, Manizales, in Cali, eh, luckily
[00:01:06] they were sending messages that they were fine, that they were
[00:01:10] okay, but, eh, but the area is very
[00:01:13] destroyed.
[00:01:18] will attend, but it does not refrain from Italy and Denmark request migrant
[00:01:20] three days after Abelardo de repatriation centers outside the European Union. Morocco requests
[00:01:22] that unaccompanied minors be returned to their families, a
[00:01:25] measure that the Spanish government is also working on.
[00:01:31] The plan to promote renewable energy in Catalonia receives more
[00:01:35] than 12,000 allegations, and there are more than 300
[00:01:38] municipalities that want it to be completely reviewed. The Generalitat says
[00:01:42] our eyes, but in the case of it will accept allegations that are technically
[00:02:40] hours during
[00:03:03] information it receives from the
[00:03:08] It has been a very long few minutes, three or four, according to some witnesses.
[00:03:12] During this time, the earth shook in western Colombia and left
[00:03:16] this trail we saw, dozens of collapsed buildings and
[00:03:19] many seriously affected, like this one, Manizales Cathedral.
[00:03:22] It is one of the most affected cities by this earthquake that occurred
[00:03:26] from the epicenter, due to this overlapping of early in the morning at half past seven. The epicenter.
[00:03:30] located in San José del Palmar, this is a small town
[00:03:33] located 250 km west of
[00:03:37] Bogotá. This is the epicenter, a small municipality of about
[00:03:40] 5,000 inhabitants, but the earthquake which reached a magnitude of
[00:03:44] 7.4, was felt in a much wider area
[00:03:47] and affected important cities like Pereira or even
[00:03:51] Cali, located much further south everywhere scenes of
[00:03:55] destruction everywhere now scenes with the
[00:03:58] rescue teams working against the clock to search for survivors in the rubble. For
[00:04:02] And these two intervened, that is now, the provisional toll is at least 111 people
[00:04:06] dead. Dozens of buildings could not
[00:04:09] withstand the force and duration of the earthquake in
[00:04:12] Colombia.
[00:04:16] that they are pending This one in Pereira collapsed after more than three minutes of shaking,
[00:04:18] at half past seven in the morning. The most affected area was the center of the
[00:04:22] country, Aleix Cafeter, where some churches were also
[00:04:26] tourists who are not obliged to severely damaged, such as that of San Josep de la Ciutat, which lost one...
[00:04:30] of the main towers scenes of chaos and
[00:04:32] confusion in the streets of those who managed to get out of the
[00:04:35] buildings among a population accustomed to tremors, but not
[00:04:39] of this magnitude. moments of panic also at Matecanya
[00:04:42] International Airport in
[00:04:45] forecast of the production of Pereira, where a part of the roof collapsed. most of the
[00:04:47] fatalities are from here,
[00:04:50] workers from Uzbekistan from Quipdor de Manizales, the same region, where the mayor asked
[00:04:53] residents to stay outside awaiting aftershocks that arrived later.
[00:04:57] In
[00:05:04] Cali, one of Colombia's main cities, dust clouds
[00:05:08] showed the number of structures that also
[00:05:11] did not resist. At least 20 structures
[00:05:14] collapsed in Cali with people trapped.
[00:05:18] I have requested support from the mayor of Bogotá and the mayor of
[00:05:21] Medellín for rescuers. The epicenter of the 7.4
[00:05:24] magnitude earthquake was in the town of San José de Palmar
[00:05:28] in the sparsely populated province of Chocó.
[00:05:32] In the Pacific. The origin was at more than 80
[00:05:35] km deep, in an area of contact between tectonic
[00:05:38] faults. It is considered the most powerful earthquake of the...
[00:05:44] We report the occurrence today at 7:34 AM
[00:05:48] of an earthquake of magnitude 7.4 with a depth of
[00:05:51] 88 km. It is the strongest earthquake felt
[00:05:55] in the last decade in the country. Rescue efforts began
[00:05:58] immediately, also by people searching for survivors under the
[00:06:02] rubble. The earthquake was felt in much of central and western
[00:06:06] Colombia, although in many cities there was no damage, such as the
[00:06:09] capital Bogotá. Ecuador, Panama, and
[00:06:13] Venezuela also felt it, where a month and a half ago, a double earthquake of
[00:06:16] only one tenth greater magnitude than today's in Colombia
[00:06:20] left more than 6,000 dead.
[00:06:24] The immediate reaction of the Colombian government to this earthquake has been to declare a national
[00:06:27] emergency to deal with the catastrophe. And this happens just
[00:06:32] l'Espriella took office as president. Joan
[00:06:36] Biosca.
[00:06:39] Right now, the main problem that rescue teams face is reaching
[00:06:42] the affected area, as the seven main airports in
[00:06:46] central Colombia, known as the Cauca Valley and the Coffee Axis, are affected
[00:06:49] with structural damage, not receiving flights. Cities
[00:06:53] affected by the earthquake of 7.4 magnitude
[00:06:56] include Cali, Pereira, and Manizales. The mayor of Pereira, for example,
[00:07:00] has decreed a curfew to clear streets and avenues to facilitate the arrival
[00:07:04] of military emergency and rescue teams.
[00:07:08] The earthquake caught the President of Colombia, Ricardo de l'Espriella, on
[00:07:11] what was to be his first working day of government management.
[00:07:15] He assumed office as head of state of the South American country last
[00:07:19] Friday, and the first thing he has done is declare a state of national emergency to
[00:07:22] try to mobilize the maximum amount of
[00:07:26] available resources to assist the
[00:07:29] affected.
[00:07:30] Colombia
[00:07:36] has a president who cares about people and who will do everything in his
[00:07:39] power to help them. Earthquake
[00:07:51] and the Spanish citizens in the country, both those who
[00:07:54] live there and those who are taking advantage of the summer holidays to do tourism,
[00:07:58] we go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with Josep Capella,
[00:08:01] Josep.
[00:08:05] Yes, as is usual in situations like this, the Ministry of Foreign
[00:08:08] Affairs enables and activates the consular
[00:08:11] emergency division that coordinates all the
[00:08:16] embassy and also from the consulate, in this case from the
[00:08:19] honorary consulates because in the affected departments there is no
[00:08:23] Spanish professional diplomatic representation. There
[00:08:26] are contact telephone numbers for Spanish citizens who are
[00:08:30] in the area who can contact the consulate
[00:08:33] in Bogotá, also an email address. With this
[00:08:37] device, the aim is to locate Spanish citizens who
[00:08:40] may be there, either living there or... doing
[00:08:43] tourism, but for now, from here, from the ministry,
[00:08:47] there is no record that there are, no information that there are Spanish
[00:08:51] citizens affected. In Colombia
[00:08:54] there are about 80,000 Spaniards, also about
[00:08:57] 8,000 Catalans. The president of the Spanish executive
[00:09:00] Pedro Sánchez on social networks has sent
[00:09:03] a message expressing his affection and solidarity
[00:09:07] with the Colombian people in these difficult times and
[00:09:11] conveying his condolences to the victims. Also from Catalonia,
[00:09:14] the situation is being followed closely. The Department of Foreign
[00:09:18] Action and the president of the Generalitat have also shown
[00:09:21] on social networks this solidarity
[00:09:24] with the Colombian people, also
[00:09:28] the situation of Catalans living
[00:09:31] there. Here we are talking about figures of people who
[00:09:35] live there, but there are also many
[00:09:39] register in the visitors' register, the...
[00:09:42] travel register, and therefore there is no official record, although the
[00:09:46] Pereira area, especially, is a very touristy area
[00:09:49] because it is in an area called the Coffee Axis where
[00:09:53] many visits are made at this
[00:09:56] time of year.
[00:09:59] About 7,800 Catalans reside permanently in
[00:10:02] Colombia. Here as president of the Catalan community, we are trying
[00:10:05] to speak with all the colleagues who live in Pereira,
[00:10:09] Manizales, in Cali, eh, luckily they have been
[00:10:13] sending messages that they were fine, that they were okay, but
[00:10:16] ehm, but the area is very destroyed. The earthquake
[00:10:20] could be felt in several parts of the country, also in cities like Bogotá or
[00:10:23] Medellín, where the majority of Catalans live. The fact that everyone came out
[00:10:27] into the street was very impactful, at least in the area I saw, which is
[00:10:31] the surroundings of the streets, they were filled with people, they came down
[00:10:35] without thinking and well, with that
[00:10:38] fear of aftershocks, surprised, really surprised
[00:10:41] and well, the TV that I have mounted on an arm on the wall
[00:10:45] also moved and I said oh, what is happening here. It also
[00:10:48] caught Catalans who were in the country doing tourism by surprise. It was quarter past
[00:10:52] 7 in the morning, we were in the hostel where I am
[00:10:56] staying, and suddenly it is true that everything started to shake. At first
[00:10:59] the sensation was curious because you didn't really know what was happening and you saw the
[00:11:03] buildings moving from one side to the other. It is the most touristy area, it is the area known
[00:11:07] as the coffee axis, it is the coffee zone,
[00:11:10] eh, it is in the center of the country, it is an area between
[00:11:14] in the middle of the two mountain ranges, western and
[00:11:17] central, and it is a populated area, it is a
[00:11:21] rich area where there is tourism. The foreign affairs department
[00:11:24] of the Generalitat says that it has no record of Catalans
[00:11:28] affected by the earthquake.
[00:11:31] In Barcelona, Colombian citizens living there are following
[00:11:34] with concern the news arriving from their country. We went to
[00:11:38] check it out by visiting several places to see how they are experiencing
[00:11:42] the air in Hortigosa.
[00:11:45] The news of the earthquake in Colombia caught many Colombians
[00:11:49] living in Barcelona, or who are just passing through as tourists, by surprise. Many of them
[00:11:52] gathered in establishments like this one, with traditional cuisine from the country,
[00:11:56] to share the latest news that was
[00:12:00] arriving. In addition, they explained that although most had
[00:12:03] been able to contact family and friends in the most
[00:12:06] affected areas, they were living with great anguish the situation that was
[00:12:10] happening in the
[00:12:10] territory.
[00:12:15] Quite emotionally affected, we already spoke with our relatives,
[00:12:18] we managed with difficulty to communicate, but we managed to
[00:12:21] contact them, they are all well, I am very attentive
[00:12:25] on the phone to receive more messages to see what
[00:12:28] happens, we are just waiting for a friend of ours
[00:12:31] who hasn't said anything yet to answer. One has the anguish
[00:12:35] of friends, friends of friends that well
[00:12:39] a little bit of everything has happened, a feeling of despair, desolation
[00:12:43] and perhaps a spiritual journey because one is here but with one's heart
[00:12:47] there. This area where there has been an earthquake
[00:12:51] is accustomed to seismic movements and several tectonic plates
[00:12:55] converge there. Enricagut, but what happened for this
[00:12:59] earthquake to be so virulent? Well, as you mentioned,
[00:13:02] it is a problematic area in terms of plates and it seems that what happened
[00:13:06] is that if we look
[00:13:09] at the barrier between the plates, which are two plates,
[00:13:13] this one here, the Nazca plate, this enormous continental
[00:13:16] plate which is the South American one, this barrier we find
[00:13:19] it here, parallel to the coast. However, the earthquake
[00:13:23] occurred here. This means that this earthquake
[00:13:27] was not formed at the border between the two plates, it was not
[00:13:30] a superficial earthquake, it was deep, very deep, and
[00:13:34] what seems to have happened is that this Nazca plate has gone
[00:13:38] under the South American plate, about 100 km deep,
[00:13:41] it has broken the faults with great
[00:13:44] force, being so deep and so powerful, it has spread
[00:13:47] and been felt from places very distant
[00:13:51] the Nazca plate over the South American plate. A month
[00:13:55] and a half ago, there was another strong earthquake in the area, it was in
[00:13:59] Venezuela. Is there any plate connection between
[00:14:02] one earthquake and the other? Well, here there is one that participates, which is
[00:14:06] this one, the South American plate, we always have it
[00:14:09] here, but instead Nazca did not come into play,
[00:14:12] the Caribbean plate came into play, this area here for Sant Joan on
[00:14:16] June 24th. This was a lateral slip between the
[00:14:19] plates, it was not that these went under in depth for the other,
[00:14:23] it was a lateral slip.
[00:14:27] to say, there is a difference, they are not connected unless we think that the
[00:14:30] South American plate is eh, well, the reason why the two
[00:14:34] earthquakes have occurred, but here several, several plates are at play, it is a
[00:14:37] chess game where there is a piece that could be the queen, which
[00:14:41] is the South American plate, which is the one that has played with
[00:14:45] both. The result we already see, destruction, collapsed buildings,
[00:14:48] deaths. In Venezuela, 6,000 have been found so far. Enric
[00:14:52] Agut, thank you very much for these explanations.
[00:15:01] Italy and Denmark request in a joint statement migrant
[00:15:05] repatriation centers in third countries outside the European Union. The
[00:15:09] Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of the far-right and the Danish
[00:15:13] Mete Frederiksen, a social democrat, also agree
[00:15:16] in rejecting what they consider uncontrolled immigration
[00:15:19] as a result of the migratory crisis in Ceuta. Both criticize
[00:15:23] the negative impact of irregular migration
[00:15:25] on the crime rate and the pressure on public
[00:15:28] services.
[00:15:31] A meeting has been called for Thursday between the Spanish government and the autonomous communities to
[00:15:35] address the relocation of minors who arrived in Ceuta. It will
[00:15:39] be held with the frontal opposition of Vox, who will not attend the meeting and who
[00:15:42] shares some regional governments with the PP. The Spanish
[00:15:46] government assures that ideally, the
[00:15:49] minors would return to their families, which, by the way,
[00:15:52] is the same as what the Moroccan
[00:15:54] Minister of Justice has said.
[00:15:57] Without enough translators to attend to them, the dozens of minors wait at the
[00:16:00] doors of the police station in Ceuta. They queue so that
[00:16:03] the police can take their data and add them to a list that... already
[00:16:07] reaches 1400 registered minors. According to the Spanish
[00:16:11] government, the number will continue to rise. I don't dare to give
[00:16:14] a definitive figure. The fate of these minors is uncertain, but the
[00:16:18] government's priority will be for them to return to their
[00:16:21] families.
[00:16:25] the government of Morocco, also with the minors, with their families, so that
[00:16:29] family reunification can happen. In this, he agrees
[00:16:33] with the Moroccan Minister of Justice, who has demanded the return
[00:16:36] of the minors in an interview with a North African newspaper. Those who cannot
[00:16:40] return will be transferred to other communities, as the law states. The
[00:16:44] first meeting on the distribution will be on Thursday. Vox says that
[00:16:48] it will not send its regional representatives. The PP, which governs
[00:16:51] with them in several communities,
[00:16:55] criticizing the Spanish
[00:16:56] government.
[00:17:02] It is incapable of defending our borders. For its part, Junts says that in
[00:17:05] Catalonia there are not enough places to accommodate them. It recalls the
[00:17:09] 2025 agreement by which it was exempted from the distribution. What the Spanish
[00:17:13] government has to decide is if it wants to continue doing the job as
[00:17:17] it was until now or if it wants to go back to what it was before and continue
[00:17:20] to strain Catalonia. We bet eh to continue
[00:17:23] as before and that Catalonia be excluded. Between adults and minors in
[00:17:27] Ceuta, there are between 8,000 and 11,000 migrants who entered on July
[00:17:30] 30, according to the president of the city, who has asked to intern them
[00:17:34] in internment centers before expelling them.
[00:17:42] Vivas also expressed concern about the possibility of a new wave of arrivals
[00:17:46] this week, which has forced the suspension of holidays for military
[00:17:50] and civil guards.
[00:17:53] Controversy over the landing of a Chinese car manufacturer in Ferrol
[00:17:56] in Galicia. According to the newspapers El Mundo and El País, the army and the
[00:18:00] CNI would have expressed their concern because the new
[00:18:03] factory would be close to the naval base of Ferrol and the shipyards
[00:18:07] of Navantia. Both the Junta and the Spanish government defend this investment
[00:18:11] of 200 million euros from the Chinese group Saic,
[00:18:14] manufacturer of the well-known brand MG.
[00:18:18] These MGs disembarking at the port of Ferrol were received as the
[00:18:22] symbol of the arrival of the Chinese giant, with a factory that is to
[00:18:25] create a thousand jobs with an investment of 200 million
[00:18:28] euros. It is a commitment on which both the president of the Galician community
[00:18:32] and the president of the Spanish government have been working in recent
[00:18:36] months. The factory will be very close to the frigates of the Ferrol
[00:18:39] military arsenal and the Navantia shipyards, next to the
[00:18:43] historic Bazan. This proximity has triggered alarms
[00:18:47] for a possible risk of espionage, or at least that
[00:18:50] is what sources from the CNI and the Ministry of Defense
[00:18:53] have leaked. The Spanish government, which must approve the operation, is
[00:18:57] calm, but with
[00:18:58] nuances.
[00:19:03] economic, of security, that are met and that make the
[00:19:04] operation viable.
[00:19:37] perfectly from many places in the city and other sources consider that the
[00:19:41] leak could come from defense companies that would like to occupy the
[00:19:44] land now reserved for the
[00:19:46] Chinese.
[00:19:49] Ukraine perpetrated today the deadliest attack in the last two
[00:19:53] years against Russian territory. Drones attacked one
[00:19:56] of the main centers of the petrochemical industry in the Tatarstan
[00:19:59] region and killed at least 13 people and injured more
[00:20:03] than seventy. More details from Moscow Cristina Solí.
[00:20:10] According to Ukraine, the target of the attack was a refinery located more than
[00:20:14] 1.5 kilometers from its border and which caught fire,
[00:20:17] but the Tatarstan authorities denounce that one of the
[00:20:20] devices also hit a hostel and killed nine
[00:20:24] people, including several
[00:20:27] and Tajikistan. In recent hours, at least six civilians have also
[00:20:30] died in the Russian border region of Belgorod, in
[00:20:34] another of the deadliest attacks by the Ukrainian
[00:20:38] army, deaths that are explained by the escalation
[00:20:42] of air attacks that both sides are carrying out against
[00:20:45] populated areas. For its part, Russia has also been taking advantage in recent
[00:20:49] weeks of the lack of air defenses to rage against
[00:20:52] Ukrainian cities. Today alone, at least six civilians died in
[00:20:56] Kharkiv and Dnipro.
[00:20:59] We are not leaving Russia because the Supreme Court has excluded from the legislative
[00:21:02] elections the only opposition party that opposes
[00:21:06] the war in Ukraine.
[00:21:07] Cristina.
[00:21:10] Yes, it is treated as if
[00:21:13] party, which the electoral commission had allowed to run in the elections
[00:21:17] against all odds. This has led to... to opposition
[00:21:20] leaders, both from inside and outside Russia, asking for votes for
[00:21:24] them and also to a wave of support on social
[00:21:27] networks. All this has scared the authorities
[00:21:32] opposition parties, who have feared that there would be a party that would share
[00:21:36] these elections in a kind of plebiscite on the war.
[00:21:39] Finally, a far-right party filed a lawsuit with the Supreme
[00:21:43] Court accusing Lablaka of having received foreign
[00:21:46] funding, and the judges have upheld it. Young people have
[00:21:50] gathered throughout the day at the doors of the court and have
[00:21:54] received the news with shouts of shame. The police
[00:21:57] threatened to take them to military recruitment offices if they did not
[00:22:01] disperse.
[00:22:11] The Plan Ter, the Generalitat's plan that aims to regulate the installation
[00:22:14] of renewable energies throughout the territory, has received more
[00:22:18] than 12,000 allegations.
[00:22:20] The plan aims to pull Catalonia out of the tail of Europe in terms of renewable
[00:22:24] energies. Currently, 60% of the energy depends on
[00:22:27] fossil fuels and aspires to totally decarbonize by
[00:22:30] 2050, but to
[00:22:34] territory will have to be dedicated to it. We see what this means on the map: on the one
[00:22:37] hand, solar panels will be installed,
[00:22:41] are mainly central Catalonia and also the western lands. In
[00:22:45] contrast, for wind turbines, the most installations
[00:22:48] will be in the south of the country, also in the north,
[00:22:51] Empordà. However, this distribution faces the frontal
[00:22:54] rejection of a large part of the involved regions because it will affect,
[00:22:58] among others, agricultural areas.
[00:23:01] The fact that 12,000 allegations have been presented to the Plan Ter
[00:23:04] means, according to agricultural entities and local communities, that the document
[00:23:08] must at least be rewritten. A Plan Ter that has been done in a hurry
[00:23:11] in any way, without listening to
[00:23:14] the territory, only providing for the interests of energy companies
[00:23:18] and vulture funds. The Generalitat is selling the narrative
[00:23:21] that the allegations made by municipalities
[00:23:25] are a way of participating. This is not
[00:23:28] true, this is a manipulation by the council. There are already more
[00:23:32] than 300 municipalities that have opposed the plan, believing that
[00:23:36] it will destroy much agricultural and natural land and that it violates
[00:23:39] about forty points of different laws. They have been very
[00:23:42] clear with their demand. Firstly, we ask them to withdraw the
[00:23:46] Plan Ter and secondly, we ask for a moratorium on
[00:23:49] industrial macro-plant renewable projects until there
[00:23:53] is a well-made, approved and consensual plan with the citizens.
[00:23:56] For its part, the government makes a very different reading of the 12,000
[00:24:00] allegations. It will incorporate them to adjust the
[00:24:03] initial proposal to the points of the territory where necessary. They will lead us to
[00:24:06] improve the document and from there to elaborate a new, more
[00:24:10] consensual proposal during the second public information period.
[00:24:13] Other voices acknowledge that changes will need to be made to the document,
[00:24:16] but that it is a good tool to... signify the
[00:24:20] growth of green energies and stop being at the tail of Europe for
[00:24:24] renewables. The most important thing is precisely to have a
[00:24:27] planning element and understand that it not only talks about the locations of
[00:24:31] energy generation, but that this energy then has to be transported, and the alternative of
[00:24:35] not having a plan, for us to understand, eh, would probably
[00:24:39] lead us to a much worse scenario.
[00:24:42] Still on energy, Wednesday's eclipse will test for a few
[00:24:46] minutes an electrical grid increasingly dependent on solar
[00:24:50] energy. The eclipse will be like a storm, a phenomenon that can be
[00:24:53] foreseen, but it is more sudden, forceful and
[00:24:56] shorter. Solar production will suddenly drop and other sources will have to
[00:25:00] take over. After
[00:25:03] 8 minutes and 20 seconds of travel, sunlight
[00:25:07] reaches thousands of solar panels on the peninsula, and these summer days
[00:25:10] at 8:30 in the evening, the time of the total eclipse, around
[00:25:14] 16% of the electricity we consume still comes from the
[00:25:18] sun. But on Wednesday, these panels... will suddenly travel to the
[00:25:21] autumn. At 8 o'clock, the solar radiation will have already decreased
[00:25:25] significantly. This must be taken into account to guarantee the stability
[00:25:29] of a bramble that is increasingly fed by the sun. The day
[00:25:32] before, the electric grid makes a
[00:25:35] solar photovoltaic energy. So, this is already integrated into the
[00:25:39] system, what will happen is that it will fall a little earlier and the
[00:25:42] faster reacting sources will come in, which are normal
[00:25:46] hydraulic energy, hydraulic that stores energy and... and
[00:25:50] combined cycle gas. Catalonia is one of the peninsular areas where
[00:25:54] photovoltaic has less weight and
[00:25:56] nuclear has more. Our electrical system is
[00:25:59] interdependent of the Spanish State and we function like a large orchestra
[00:26:03] that can never stop making music, if one instrument lowers the
[00:26:06] intensity, another must immediately take over to
[00:26:10] avoid the silence of a blackout. This time,
[00:26:15] electricity will be moderate, because it will arrive
[00:26:18] at dusk and will only affect around 20% of the peninsular
[00:26:21] photovoltaic park. If the solar eclipse had
[00:26:25] happened in the middle of the day, surely we would have had a
[00:26:28] significant impact on prices, if you have a bill that varies depending on the frame's hairs.
[00:26:32] like the regulated tariff, then it has a minimal impact, because we are
[00:26:36] talking about one or two hours in the total of the
[00:26:39] bill. Reteléctrica estimates that the maximum reduction in solar production
[00:26:43] will be 5 GW, approximately 13% of the maximum
[00:26:46] demand forecast for a typical August Wednesday, in other
[00:26:50] words, the equivalent power of five conventional
[00:26:53] nuclear reactors. César Center, TV3,
[00:26:56] Barcelona. We have been warning for days that
[00:27:00] protecting your eyes well when watching
[00:27:02] the eclipse is fundamental, looking directly at the sun without protection can
[00:27:06] cause irreversible eye injuries, that is, incurable in many
[00:27:10] places, special glasses have sold out or very few
[00:27:13] remain?
[00:27:15] This Terrassa optician already has almost no approved glasses left to
[00:27:19] see the eclipse, this means that the population is aware that they will have to
[00:27:23] protect their eyes, but not everyone knows why it is essential,
[00:27:27] because sunglasses do not have this, this thing to
[00:27:31] protect, I don't know, I don't know how to explain it to you. First of all,
[00:27:34] because observing the eclipse, unlike the sun on a normal day, could
[00:27:38] give us a false sense of security. Normally, we don't think of
[00:27:41] looking at the sun because we already know it will hurt
[00:27:45] the eclipse, since it is getting dark, nothing happens, the
[00:27:48] truth is that at that moment is when our retina can be most
[00:27:52] sensitive because our pupil will have dilated and this light will affect
[00:27:55] our eye with more energy. That's why we need these
[00:27:59] certified glasses that filter 100% of the ultraviolet
[00:28:02] rays and also the infrared, a
[00:28:05] protection that we do not achieve with normal sunglasses. This is
[00:28:09] the image seen through these glasses which are the ones with the most
[00:28:13] powerful filter on the market. This filters ultraviolet light and therefore
[00:28:17] still allows us to see the street
[00:28:20] light. In contrast, if we try glasses approved for
[00:28:23] the eclipse, these also filter infrared light
[00:28:27] and therefore we can see the sun with total
[00:28:30] normality, also to see that we are totally in the dark and this is what allows us
[00:28:34] to see the eclipse safely.
[00:28:38] Despite wearing approved glasses, ophthalmologists recommend
[00:28:41] not exposing your eyes for too many consecutive
[00:28:43] the eclipse.
[00:28:52] Because with only a few seconds of exposure, it is enough to
[00:28:55] suffer from ocular
[00:28:56] retinopathy.
[00:29:11] That's why any precaution is little to enjoy the eclipse
[00:29:14] without suffering irreversible damage to the retina. Julie Tormader,
[00:29:18] TV3 Terrassa.
[00:29:21] In the first six months of the year, Endesa has opened almost
[00:29:24] 13,000 sanctioning files in Catalonia for alleged
[00:29:27] electricity fraud. In Spain as a whole, the figure is close to 39. That is,
[00:29:31] one in three sanctioning files are opened here in
[00:29:34] Catalonia. The immense majority of these frauds, as you can see here, are due
[00:29:38] to economic activities or clandestine installations
[00:29:41] related, above all, to crimes such as the illegal cultivation of marijuana.
[00:29:45] Only 3% correspond to private
[00:29:48] clients. It is registered here. In some
[00:29:51] cases, without conclusive evidence, the company
[00:29:54] cut off their supply and took them to court for alleged fraud. This
[00:29:58] has represented a real judicial ordeal for the affected people. Before.
[00:30:02] they could not prove that they were not committing any
[00:30:04] illegality.
[00:30:07] Under the pool they had, according to Endesa technicians, a double
[00:30:11] electrical connection and they were defrauding the company.
[00:30:14] We had nothing, then they said they had a camera
[00:30:18] that they put through the tubes or I don't know how they
[00:30:21] do it, but that it wasn't even necessary to put it because it was so clear, so
[00:30:25] obvious. They ended up imposing a sanction of
[00:30:27] €6,400, but that was not the worst. They
[00:30:31] cut off our electricity in the middle of January, in the middle of a cold snap,
[00:30:34] we had two children who were minors, we had to rent a compressor so that
[00:30:38] the heating would work, it was a bad dream. In the end, justice has given them
[00:30:42] the reason. The Barcelona Court considers that Endesa, in a precipitate
[00:30:45] and undue manner, cut off their supply without having
[00:30:49] conclusive evidence of fraud and that it caused them damage that the
[00:30:53] company must compensate. Not only that double
[00:30:56] connection is not duly accredited, but the sanction.
