[00:00:14] is tourism. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
[00:00:31] A strong aftershock in Colombia of magnitude 7.4 causes more
[00:00:35] than a hundred deaths. It
[00:00:38] three days after Abelardo de is still a very provisional balance because there are dozens of missing people. President
[00:00:41] Espriella has declared a state
[00:00:43] of emergency.
[00:00:47] The earthquake has affected cities like Pereira and Cali in the middle of the so-called Coffee
[00:00:51] Axis, which is a very popular area for tourists. There is no
[00:00:55] record of any Catalans
[00:00:56] affected.
[00:01:03] The musical talks about love, Italy and Denmark request migrant repatriation centers outside the European Union. Morocco wants
[00:01:07] unaccompanied minors to return with their
[00:01:10] families, a measure that the Spanish
[00:01:13] government is also working on.
[00:01:17] The plan to promote renewable energies in Catalonia has received more than 12,000
[00:01:21] allegations. There are more than 300 municipalities that want it to be
[00:01:24] reviewed. The Generalitat says it will accept technically
[00:01:28] viable proposals. It will happen.
[00:02:18] information it receives from the
[00:02:34] sea, we will also talk about some storms in
[00:02:43] Good evening, how are you? The extent of the consequences of the
[00:02:47] earthquake that has affected Colombia is still unknown. The information that has arrived so far indicates more
[00:02:51] than a hundred dead people and dozens of buildings
[00:02:54] collapsed. The most affected region is the one closest
[00:02:58] to the Pacific Ocean with cities like Cali and Pereira, and the
[00:03:01] earthquake occurred at 7:30 in the morning local time with the epicenter in
[00:03:05] San José del Palmar, which is 250 km west
[00:03:09] of Bogotá and with a magnitude of this earthquake of 7.4
[00:03:13] degrees. And we see scenes that recall what happened in
[00:03:17] Venezuela with rescue teams working
[00:03:19] against the clock to search for survivors among the
[00:03:22] rubble. Dozens of buildings have not
[00:03:26] withstood the force and duration of the earthquake in Colombia.
[00:03:31] awaiting This one in Pereira collapsed after
[00:03:33] more than three minutes of shaking, at 7:45 in the morning. The
[00:03:37] most affected area has been the center of the country, the Coffee Axis,
[00:03:41] tourists. They are not obliged to where some churches have also been severely damaged, such as that of San
[00:03:44] José de la Ciudad, which lost one of its main towers.
[00:03:48] Scenes of chaos and confusion in the streets of those who managed to leave the
[00:03:52] buildings, among a population accustomed to tremors, but not
[00:03:56] of this magnitude. Moments of panic also at the international
[00:03:59] Matecaña airport in Pereira, where a part
[00:04:02] of the roof collapsed. Most of the fatalities are
[00:04:05] from here, from Quipdor de
[00:04:07] precaution is too little to enjoy the Manizales in the same region, where the mayor asked residents to stay
[00:04:11] outdoors while waiting for the aftershocks that arrived
[00:04:14] later.
[00:04:20] In Cali, one of the main cities in Colombia, the clouds of dust
[00:04:24] showed the number of structures that also did
[00:04:27] not resist.
[00:04:30] 20 structures collapsed in Cali with people
[00:04:33] trapped. I have requested support from the
[00:04:36] mayor of Bogotá and the mayor of
[00:04:39] missing, the president of Medellín with rescuers. The epicenter of the 7.4 magnitude
[00:04:41] earthquake was in the town of San José de
[00:04:44] Palmar, in the poor and sparsely populated province of Chocó.
[00:04:48] In the Pacific. The origin was more than 80
[00:04:52] km deep, in a contact zone between tectonic
[00:04:55] faults. It is considered the most powerful earthquake in the
[00:04:58] last 10 years. Colombia, we report the occurrence today at
[00:05:02] 7:34 in the morning of an earthquake of magnitude
[00:05:06] 7.4 with a depth of 88 km. It
[00:05:10] is the strongest earthquake that has been felt in the last decade in the
[00:05:13] country. Rescue tasks began immediately also by people
[00:05:17] searching for survivors under the rubble. The earthquake was felt
[00:05:21] in much of central and western Colombia, although in many
[00:05:24] cities there were no damages, such as the capital, Bogotá. It was also
[00:05:28] felt in Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela, where a month and
[00:05:31] a half ago, a double earthquake of a magnitude only one tenth
[00:05:35] higher than today's in Colombia left more than 6,000
[00:05:38] dead.
[00:05:43] With all this, the Colombian government has declared a national emergency to deal
[00:05:47] with this catastrophe, only
[00:05:50] la Espriella took office as president, information from Joan
[00:05:54] Viosca.
[00:05:56] Right now, the main problem faced by rescue teams is reaching the
[00:06:00] affected area, as the seven main airports in the central
[00:06:04] zone of Colombia, known as the Cauca Valley and the Coffee Axis, are
[00:06:08] affected with structural damages and do
[00:06:11] not receive flights. Cities impacted by the 7.4 magnitude
[00:06:14] earthquake such as Cali, Pereira, and Manizales.
[00:06:18] The mayor, for example, of Pereira has decreed a curfew
[00:06:21] to clear streets and avenues to facilitate the arrival of military
[00:06:24] emergency teams and also rescue teams. And an
[00:06:27] earthquake that caught the president of Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella, on what
[00:06:31] was supposed to be his first working day of government
[00:06:34] management. He took office as head of state of the South American country
[00:06:37] last Friday and the first thing he has done has been to declare a national state
[00:06:41] of emergency to try to... mobilize the maximum
[00:06:44] amount of available resources to assist
[00:06:47] those affected.
[00:06:50] You are not alone. Colombia has a president who
[00:06:54] cares about people and who will do everything within his
[00:06:57] reach.
[00:07:04] The Spanish Consulate in Colombia is monitoring the earthquake and also Spanish
[00:07:08] citizens who are in the country, both those who live there and those who have gone there for
[00:07:11] tourism. In addition, it is keeping an eye on the 7,800 Catalans who
[00:07:15] permanently reside in Colombia. Information from Josep
[00:07:18] Capella. Yes, as is usual in situations like
[00:07:21] this, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs enables and activates the
[00:07:25] consular emergency division
[00:07:28] that coordinates all the
[00:07:31] embassy and also from the consulate, in this case from the
[00:07:34] honorary consulates, because in the affected departments there is no
[00:07:38] professional Spanish diplomatic representation, there are
[00:07:42] contact telephone numbers for Spanish citizens who are in
[00:07:45] the area who can contact the consulate in Bogotá,
[00:07:49] also an email address. With this
[00:07:52] device, the aim is to locate Spanish citizens who
[00:07:55] may be there, either living there or doing
[00:07:58] tourism, but for now from here from the ministry
[00:08:02] it is not recorded that there are, it has not been reported that there are
[00:08:05] Spanish citizens affected. In
[00:08:08] Colombia live about 80,000 Spaniards, also
[00:08:12] about 8,000 Catalans. The president of the Spanish executive
[00:08:15] Pedro Sánchez has sent a message on social
[00:08:18] networks expressing his affection and solidarity
[00:08:22] with the Colombian people in these difficult times and
[00:08:26] offering condolences to the victims. Also from Catalonia, the
[00:08:30] situation is being closely followed. The Department of External
[00:08:33] Action and the president of the Generalitat have also shown
[00:08:36] this solidarity on social networks with the
[00:08:40] Colombian people, and they are also
[00:08:43] the situation of the Catalans who live
[00:08:46] there. Here we are talking about figures of people who
[00:08:50] live there, but there are also many
[00:08:54] register in the visitor register, the
[00:08:57] traveler register, and that is why there is no official record, although the
[00:09:01] area of Pereira, above all, is a very touristy area
[00:09:04] because it is in an area called the Coffee Axis where
[00:09:08] many visits are made at this time of year.
[00:09:13] About 7,800 Catalans reside permanently in
[00:09:16] Colombia. Here, as president of the Catalan community, we are
[00:09:20] trying to talk to all our colleagues who live in
[00:09:23] Pereira, Manizales, Cali, and fortunately they
[00:09:26] have been sending messages that they were fine, but
[00:09:29] the area is very destroyed. The earthquake could
[00:09:33] be felt in several parts of the country, including cities like Bogotá and
[00:09:36] Medellín, where the majority of Catalans live.
[00:09:40] everyone's life on the street, at least in the area where
[00:09:42] I've seen that the streets have been filled
[00:09:46] with people who have come down without thinking about it and
[00:09:49] well, with that fear of whether there would be aftershocks,
[00:09:53] surprised, truly surprised, and well, the television that I have
[00:09:56] nailed with an arm to the wall also moved and I thought
[00:09:59] "what's happening here?" It also caught by surprise Catalans who were in the
[00:10:03] country doing tourism. It was a quarter to eight in the morning.
[00:10:07] We were at the hostel where
[00:10:10] I am staying and suddenly everything started to shake. At first the
[00:10:14] sensation was curious because you didn't really know what was happening and you saw the
[00:10:18] buildings moving from one side to the other. It is the most touristy area, it is the area known
[00:10:21] as the coffee axis, it is the coffee area.
[00:10:25] It is in the center of the country, it is an area between
[00:10:29] the two mountain ranges, the western and the
[00:10:31] central, and it is a populated area, it is a
[00:10:35] rich area where there
[00:10:39] the Generalitat says that it has no record of any Catalans affected by the
[00:10:43] earthquake. The news of the earthquake caught many
[00:10:47] Colombians living in Barcelona or who are there
[00:10:50] for tourism by surprise, and many of them have gathered in traditional
[00:10:53] food establishments in the country to share the latest information that arrived from the
[00:10:57] area, although most had been able to contact family and friends from the
[00:11:01] most affected places, they live with great anguish the
[00:11:04] situation that exists in their
[00:11:05] territory.
[00:11:10] quite affected emotionally, we already spoke with our family members,
[00:11:13] communication was difficult, but we already managed
[00:11:16] to contact them, they are all well, I am very attentive on
[00:11:20] the phone to receive more messages to see what happens,
[00:11:23] we are just waiting for a friend of ours to answer, who
[00:11:27] has not said anything yet, one has the anguish of friends
[00:11:31] of friends of friends that well, a little bit of everything
[00:11:34] has happened, it is a feeling of desolation,
[00:11:37] consolation and perhaps a spiritual journey because one is here but
[00:11:41] with the heart
[00:11:42] there,
[00:11:48] let's change the subject and talk now about the debate on immigration that has arisen
[00:11:52] from what happened in Ceuta because Italy and Denmark request in a
[00:11:56] joint statement migrant repatriation centers in third
[00:11:59] countries outside the European Union. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia
[00:12:03] Meloni, from the far right, and Danish Prime Minister Mette
[00:12:06] Frederiksen, a social democrat, also
[00:12:09] agree in rejecting what they consider uncontrolled immigration in the wake of the
[00:12:13] migratory crisis in Ceuta. Both criticize the negative impact of
[00:12:17] irregular immigration, they say, on the crime rate and
[00:12:20] the pressure on public
[00:12:22] services.
[00:12:26] Regarding this migration crisis, it has also been learned that military personnel and Civil
[00:12:30] Guard officers stationed in Ceuta who are on vacation or enjoying
[00:12:34] leave will have to return to work. The Ministry of
[00:12:37] Defense has taken this decision in view of messages circulating on
[00:12:41] social networks calling for a new
[00:12:43] attempt to enter the city of Ceuta this Saturday, August
[00:12:47] 15th. In the case of the Civil Guard, the suspension of vacations and
[00:12:50] leaves is until further notice, the statement says, and also affects
[00:12:54] agents stationed in Melilla, with the aim, they say, of
[00:12:58] guaranteeing adequate coverage of
[00:13:00] services.
[00:13:03] A meeting has been called for Thursday between the Spanish government and the autonomous communities to
[00:13:07] address the relocation of minors who arrived in Ceuta, and it
[00:13:10] will be done with the frontal opposition of Vox, shared with some
[00:13:14] autonomous governments of the Popular Party. The Spanish government
[00:13:17] assures that the ideal would be for the minors to return with their
[00:13:20] families, which is the same as what the Moroccan Minister of Justice
[00:13:24] has said.
[00:13:26] Without enough translators to attend to them, dozens of minors wait at the
[00:13:30] gates of the police station in Ceuta, queuing for
[00:13:33] the police to take their details and add them to a list that already
[00:13:37] reaches 1400 registered minors, according to the Spanish
[00:13:41] government. The figure will continue to rise, I don't dare to give a
[00:13:44] definitive figure. The fate of these
[00:13:48] government's priority will be for them to return with their
[00:13:50] families.
[00:13:55] priority with the government of Morocco, also with the minors, with their
[00:13:58] family reunification can take place.
[00:14:02] In this, he agrees with the Moroccan
[00:14:05] with a North African
[00:14:08] newspaper. Those who cannot return will be transferred to other
[00:14:12] comunitats, com diu la llei. La primera reunió sobre el repartiment
[00:14:15] it will not send its regional
[00:14:19] representatives. The PP, which governs with them in several communities, will
[00:14:23] hi assistirà, però no s'està.
[00:14:34] For its part, Junts says that in Catalonia there are not enough places to
[00:14:37] accommodate them, recalling the 2025 agreement, by which it was
[00:14:41] exempted from the distribution. What the Spanish government has to decide
[00:14:44] is whether it wants to continue doing the work as it has been doing so far
[00:14:47] or wants to return to what it was before and continue to strain Catalonia. We
[00:14:51] advocate for continuing as before, and that Catalonia be
[00:14:55] excluded. Between adults and minors in Ceuta there are between 8,000 and 11,000
[00:14:59] migrants who entered on July 30, according to the president of the city, who has asked
[00:15:03] to confine them in internment centers before
[00:15:05] expelling them, who are
[00:15:11] confined. Vives has also expressed concern about the possibility of a
[00:15:15] new wave of arrivals this week, which has forced the suspension
[00:15:18] of holidays for military personnel and civil
[00:15:20] guards.
[00:15:27] The Generalitat's plan to regulate the installation of renewable
[00:15:31] energies has received more than 12,000 allegations
[00:15:34] against it. The plan aims to take Catalonia out of Europe's tail
[00:15:38] in terms of renewable energy, but it has received frontal rejection from a large part of
[00:15:41] the affected regions because it will affect , among other things, agricultural
[00:15:45] areas. The fact that 12,000
[00:15:48] allegations have been presented against the plan means, according to entities, the peasant world and the
[00:15:52] local world, that the document, at least, must be redone. A plan that
[00:15:56] has been made in a hurry, in any way, without
[00:16:00] listening to the territory, only providing for the interests of energy
[00:16:03] companies and vulture funds. The Generalitat is selling
[00:16:07] the narrative that the allegations made by the municipalities
[00:16:11] are a way of participating. This is not
[00:16:14] true, this is a manipulation by the ministry. More than
[00:16:18] 300 municipalities have opposed the plan, believing that it
[00:16:21] will destroy a lot of agricultural and natural land and that it violates
[00:16:25] forty points of different laws. They have been very
[00:16:28] clear with their demand. First of all, we ask you to withdraw the
[00:16:32] plan. And secondly, we ask for a moratorium on
[00:16:35] industrial macro-plant renewables until there
[00:16:39] is a well-done and approved and
[00:16:42] consensual plan with the citizens. For its part, the government makes a very
[00:16:46] different reading of the 12,000 allegations, it will
[00:16:49] incorporate them to adjust the initial proposal to the points of the
[00:16:52] territory where necessary. They will help us to improve the document and from there
[00:16:56] to elaborate a new, more consensual proposal during the second
[00:16:59] period of public information. Other voices acknowledge that
[00:17:02] changes will have to be made to the document, but that it is a good tool to plan the growth of
[00:17:06] green energies, to stop being the tail of Europe in terms of
[00:17:10] renewables, the most important thing is precisely to have a
[00:17:13] planning element and understand that it not only talks about the locations
[00:17:17] of energy generation, but that afterwards this energy must be transported and
[00:17:21] the alternative of not planning, for us to understand,
[00:17:24] would probably lead us to a much
[00:17:26] worse scenario. We have been warning for days that protecting
[00:17:30] your eyes well when looking at Wednesday's eclipse is fundamental. Looking at
[00:17:34] the sun directly without protection can cause
[00:17:37] irreversible eye damage, that is,
[00:17:41] forever. In many places, special glasses have sold out
[00:17:44] or very few are left. In this Terrassa optician, they
[00:17:48] hardly have any approved glasses left to watch the eclipse. This means
[00:17:52] that the population is aware that they will have to protect their eyes, but not
[00:17:55] everyone knows why it is essential. Because sunglasses
[00:17:58] do not have this
[00:18:02] protect, I don't know, I can't explain it well. First of
[00:18:05] all, because observing the eclipse, unlike the sun on a normal
[00:18:08] day, could give us a
[00:18:11] of not having looked at the sun because we already know it will hurt our
[00:18:15] eyes, but in the case of the eclipse, as it is getting dark, nothing happens. The truth is that at that moment
[00:18:19] is when our retina can be most
[00:18:23] sensitive because our pupil will have dilated and this light will
[00:18:26] strike our eye with more energy. That is why we need
[00:18:30] these certified glasses that filter 100% of ultraviolet
[00:18:33] rays, also infrared. This
[00:18:36] protection cannot be achieved with normal sunglasses. This is the
[00:18:40] image seen through these glasses, which are the ones with the most
[00:18:44] powerful filter on the market. This filters ultraviolet light and therefore
[00:18:48] still allows us to see the light of
[00:18:51] the street. In contrast, if we try glasses approved for
[00:18:54] the eclipse, these also filter infrared light
[00:18:58] and therefore we can see the sun with total
[00:19:01] normality. And we will also see that we are completely in the dark, this is what allows us
[00:19:05] to see the eclipse safely.
[00:19:08] Even with approved glasses, ophthalmologists recommend not
[00:19:12] exposing your eyes for too long continuously during the eclipse. It is
[00:19:15] recommended that you look for 25-30 seconds,
[00:19:19] pause, then look again for 25-30
[00:19:22] seconds, because just a few seconds of exposure are enough
[00:19:26] to suffer from ocular
[00:19:28] retinopathy.
[00:19:31] Pay attention to your eyes, when you
[00:19:34] try to read you don't see the letters, when you
[00:19:38] try to drive you see a spot, this spot doesn't
[00:19:41] go away. That's why any
[00:19:45] eclipse without suffering irreversible retinal damage.
[00:19:48] Julie Tormader, TV3, Terrassa.
[00:19:52] It's not just a feeling, the sea temperature has reached
[00:19:55] historic highs in both the Atlantic and the Western Mediterranean.
[00:19:59] As for temperatures, Europe has experienced the
[00:20:02] hottest start to summer in history, according to data from the Copernicus
[00:20:06] Climate Change Service of the European Union. The months of
[00:20:10] June and July have been especially warm and dry, especially in Spain,
[00:20:13] France and the United Kingdom, a combination that has favored forest
[00:20:17] fires with record CO2
[00:20:20] emissions.
[00:20:24] After three active days, firefighters have managed to stabilize the forest
[00:20:27] fire of Tirig and Catí, this is the Alt Maestrat. The
[00:20:31] weather conditions have allowed them to attack the hot spots with twenty
[00:20:34] aerial means. The fire has burned more than
[00:20:38] 750 hectares. Confinement orders have been lifted and the residents of the
[00:20:42] town of Catí evacuated yesterday, can now return
[00:20:45] home. On the other hand, the fire of Niebla in Huelva is beyond
[00:20:49] the extinction capacity, it is already one of the largest
[00:20:53] in recent years in Andalusia, it has forced
[00:20:56] the evacuation of some 800 people.
[00:27:49] countries, we also have had some delays, but in the afternoon there will be some storms in
[00:27:53] some places in the Pyrenees, pre-Pyrenees, especially in Lleida, also the Macís at the port and
[00:27:58] At 7 in the morning, we will have high values,
[00:28:01] Barcelona. at 27 degrees, eh, Mora d'Ebre 25. In fact,
[00:28:05] some regions are on alert for nocturnal heat, from
[00:28:09] Barcelonès to Moncià, also passing
[00:28:12] through Ribera d'Ebre, Baix Ebre, eh, also in
[00:28:15] Sagrià, the rest, calm in the morning with some cloudy intervals, in the
[00:28:19] afternoon clouds will grow in the Pyrenees or pre-Pyrenees, especially in Lleida, showers and some
[00:28:23] storms, also reaching the north of central Catalonia also towards
[00:28:26] the area of Terra Alta, interior of Baix Ebre, some showers may arrive
[00:28:30] from Aragon, the temperature similar. lower heat also
[00:28:33] and mugginess near the
