[00:00:31] A strong aftershock in Colombia of magnitude 7.4 causes more
[00:00:34] than a hundred deaths. It is
[00:00:38] three days after Belardo de 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
[00:00:51] Coffee Axis, which is a very visited area by tourists. There is no
[00:00:55] record of Catalans
[00:00:57] magical story, the magical affected.
[00:01:01] Italy and Denmark request migrant repatriation centers outside the European
[00:01:05] Union. Morocco wants unaccompanied minors
[00:01:09] to return to their families, a measure with which the
[00:01:12] Spanish government
[00:01:13] is also working.
[00:01:17] The plan to promote renewable energies in Catalonia receives more than 12,000
[00:01:20] allegations. There are more than 300 municipalities that want it
[00:01:24] revised. The Generalitat says that it will accept technically
[00:01:27] viable proposals. It will happen.
[00:02:28] of Baix Ebre, some showers may arrive from
[00:02:39] our eyes. But in the case of
[00:02:43] Good evening, how are you? The extent of the consequences of the
[00:02:47] earthquake that affected Colombia is not yet known. The information that has arrived so far indicates more
[00:02:51] than a hundred people dead 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
[00:03:05] in San José del Palmar, this is 250 km
[00:03:09] west of Bogotá and with a magnitude of this earthquake of
[00:03:12] 7.4 degrees. And we see scenes again that
[00:03:15] recall what happened in Venezuela with rescue teams working
[00:03:19] against the clock to search for survivors among the
[00:03:22] rubble. Dozens of buildings did not
[00:03:26] withstand the force and duration of the earthquake in Colombia.
[00:03:31] awaiting the This one in Pereira collapsed after
[00:03:33] more than three minutes of shaking, at 7:30 in the morning.
[00:03:37] The most affected area has been the center of the country, Aleix Cafeter,
[00:03:41] tourists who are not obliged where some churches have also been seriously damaged, such as that of San
[00:03:44] Josep de la Ciutat, 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
[00:03:55] of this magnitude. Moments of panic also at the international airport.
[00:04:07] precaution is little to enjoy the of Manizales, the same region, where the mayor asked residents to stay in the
[00:04:11] open air while waiting for the aftershocks that arrived
[00:04:14] later.
[00:04:20] in Cali, one of the main cities of Colombia, the dust clouds
[00:04:24] showed the number of structures that also did not
[00:04:27] 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 people, the president of Medellín with rescuers. The epicenter of the 7.4
[00:04:41] magnitude earthquake was in the town of San José de
[00:04:44] Palmar, the poor and sparsely populated province of Chocó on the
[00:04:48] Pacific. The origin was at more than 80
[00:04:52] km deep, in an area of contact between tectonic
[00:04:55] faults. It is considered the most powerful earthquake of the
[00:04:58] last 10 years. We report today at
[00:05:02] 7:34 in the morning an earthquake of magnitude
[00:05:06] 7.4 with a depth of
[00:05:10] the strongest earthquake felt.
[00:05:14] Rescue efforts began immediately, also by people
[00:05:17] searching for survivors under the rubble. The earthquake was felt
[00:05:20] in much of central and western Colombia, although in many
[00:05:24] cities there was no damage, such as the capital, Bogotá. It was also
[00:05:27] felt in Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela, where a month
[00:05:31] and a half ago, a double earthquake of a magnitude only one tenth
[00:05:34] 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] l'Espriella took office as president, information from Joan
[00:05:54] Viosca.
[00:05:56] Right now, the main problem that rescue teams face is reaching
[00:06:00] the affected area, as the seven main airports in
[00:06:03] the central zone of Colombia, known as the Cauca Valley
[00:06:07] and Leix Cafeter, are affected with structural damage and do not
[00:06:10] receive flights, cities impacted by the 7.4
[00:06:14] magnitude 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 facilitate the arrival of military
[00:06:24] and rescue emergency teams. The
[00:06:27] earthquake 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 assumed office as head of state of the South American country
[00:06:37] last Friday, and the first thing he did was to declare a national state
[00:06:41] of emergency to try to... use the maximum amount
[00:06:44] of available resources to attend to the
[00:06:47] victims.
[00:06:50] You are not alone. Colombia has a president who
[00:06:54] cares about his people and will do everything in his
[00:06:57] power.
[00:07:04] The Spanish Consulate in Colombia is monitoring the earthquake and also the Spanish
[00:07:07] citizens who are in the country, both those who live there and those who have gone there for
[00:07:11] tourism. It is aware of the 7,800 Catalans who
[00:07:14] 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
[00:07:25] the consular emergency division, which
[00:07:28] coordinates all the information it receives from the embassy
[00:07:32] and also from the consulate, in this case from the honorary consulates,
[00:07:35] because the affected departments do not have Spanish professional diplomatic
[00:07:39] representation. There are contact telephone numbers for
[00:07:43] Spanish citizens in the area who can contact
[00:07:47] the consulate in Bogotá, and also an
[00:07:50] email address. With this device, the aim is to
[00:07:53] locate Spanish citizens who may be there, either living there
[00:07:57] or visiting as tourists. However, at the moment, the
[00:08:00] ministry has no record of affected Spanish
[00:08:04] citizens. In Colombia, there are
[00:08:06] about 80,000 Spaniards, and also
[00:08:10] some Catalans. The president of the Spanish executive,
[00:08:13] Pedro Sánchez, has sent a message on social
[00:08:17] networks expressing his affection and solidarity
[00:08:20] with the Colombian people in these very difficult times, and
[00:08:24] extending his condolences to the victims. From Catalonia, the
[00:08:28] situation is also being followed closely. The department of foreign
[00:08:31] affairs and the president of the Generalitat have also expressed
[00:08:34] this solidarity with the Colombian people on social
[00:08:38] networks, and are also
[00:08:43] 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] to register in the visitor registry, in the
[00:08:57] traveler registry, and that is why there is no official record, although the
[00:09:01] area of Pereira, especially 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 these times.
[00:09:13] "Around 7,800 Catalans permanently reside 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,
[00:09:26] luckily, they have sent messages saying they were fine and that they were well,
[00:09:30] but, the area is very
[00:09:33] destroyed. The earthquake could be felt in several parts of the country,
[00:09:36] also in cities like Bogotá or Medellín, where most
[00:09:40] Catalans live. The departure of everyone to the street has had a huge
[00:09:43] impact, at least in the area I saw, which is the surroundings of the
[00:09:47] streets, they were full of people, they went down without
[00:09:49] thinking and well, with that fear of
[00:09:53] if there were aftershocks, surprised, really surprised and well, the
[00:09:57] television that I have nailed with an arm to the wall also
[00:10:00] moved and I say, what is happening here? It also caught
[00:10:04] Catalans who were in the country doing tourism by surprise. It was a quarter to
[00:10:07] eight in the morning, we were at
[00:10:11] the hostel where I am staying started to shake, at first the sensation was
[00:10:15] curious because you didn't really know what was happening and you saw the buildings move
[00:10:18] from one side to the other, it is the most touristy area, it is the area known as the
[00:10:22] coffee axis, it is the coffee area. It is in the
[00:10:26] center of the country, it is an area between the two
[00:10:29] mountain ranges, western and central,
[00:10:33] and it is a populated area, it is a rich area where there
[00:10:37] is tourism. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Generalitat
[00:10:40] says that it has no record of Catalans affected by the
[00:10:43] earthquake. The news of the earthquake caught
[00:10:47] many Colombians living in Barcelona or who are there as
[00:10:50] tourists by surprise, and many of them have gathered in establishments of
[00:10:53] traditional cuisine of the country to share the latest information that arrived
[00:10:57] from the area, although most had been able to contact family and friends from
[00:11:01] the most affected places, they live with great anguish the
[00:11:04] situation in their
[00:11:05] territory.
[00:11:10] quite affected emotionally, we already spoke with our relatives,
[00:11:13] communication was difficult, but we already managed to contact
[00:11:16] them, they are all fine, I am very attentive to the
[00:11:20] phone to receive more messages to see what happens,
[00:11:23] we are just waiting. for a friend of ours to answer, who has
[00:11:27] not said anything yet, one has the anguish of friends of
[00:11:31] friends of friends that
[00:11:33] well, a little bit of everything has happened, it is a feeling of
[00:11:36] desolation, comfort and perhaps a spiritual journey because one is here
[00:11:40] but 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. The Italian Prime Minister Giorgia
[00:12:03] Meloni of the far right and the Danish Mad Frederiksen,
[00:12:07] social democrat, also agree to reject what they consider
[00:12:11] uncontrolled immigration in the wake of the Ceuta migratory crisis.
[00:12:16] 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 migratory crisis, it has also been learned that military personnel and civil
[00:12:30] guards stationed in Ceuta who are on vacation or enjoying
[00:12:34] leave will have to return to work. The Ministry of Defense
[00:12:37] has made this decision in view of the messages circulating on social
[00:12:41] networks calling for a new attempt to enter the city
[00:12:45] of Ceuta this Saturday, August 15. In the case of the
[00:12:49] Civil Guard, the suspension of vacations and permits is until further notice, the
[00:12:52] statement says, and also affects
[00:12:55] agents stationed in Melilla, with the aim, they say, of guaranteeing
[00:12:58] 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 arriving in Ceuta, and it will
[00:13:10] be held 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 minors to return to their
[00:13:20] families, which is the same as the Moroccan Minister of Justice has said.
[00:13:26] Without enough translators to attend, the dozens of minors wait at the
[00:13:30] doors of the Ceuta police station, queuing so that
[00:13:33] the police can take their data and add them to a list that already
[00:13:37] reaches 1,400 registered minors, according to the Spanish
[00:13:41] government, the figure will continue to rise. I don't dare to say a
[00:13:44] definitive figure. The fate of these minors is uncertain, but the
[00:13:48] government's priority will be for them to return to their
[00:13:50] families.
[00:13:55] priority with the government of Morocco, also with the minors, with their
[00:13:58] families, so that family reunification can take place.
[00:14:02] This coincides with the Moroccan Minister of Justice, who has demanded
[00:14:05] the return of minors in an interview with a North African
[00:14:08] newspaper. Those who cannot return will be transferred to other
[00:14:12] communities, as the law states. The first meeting on the distribution
[00:14:15] will be on Thursday. Vox says that it will not send its regional
[00:14:19] representatives. The PP, which governs with them in several communities, will
[00:14:23] attend, but it is not.
[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
[00:14:44] decide is if it wants to continue doing the work as it was until now
[00:14:47] or wants to return to what it was before, continuing to tension Catalonia, we
[00:14:51] are committed to continuing as before, and that is Catalonia.
[00:14:55] Between adults and minors in Ceuta, there are between 8,000 and 11,000 migrants who
[00:14:59] entered on July 30, according to the city's president, who has asked
[00:15:03] to confine them in internment centers before
[00:15:05] expelling them. confined. Vives has also expressed
[00:15:11] concern about the possibility of a
[00:15:15] new wave of arrivals this week, which has forced the suspension
[00:15:18] of vacations for military personnel and civil
[00:15:20] guards.
[00:15:27] The Plàter, the Generalitat's plan that wants to bring order to the installation of
[00:15:31] renewable energies, has received more than 12,000 allegations against
[00:15:34] it. The plan aims to take Catalonia out of the tail of Europe
[00:15:38] in terms of renewable energy, but it has received frontal rejection from a large part of the
[00:15:41] involved regions because it will affect, among other things, agricultural
[00:15:45] areas. That 12,000 allegations have been presented
[00:15:48] against the Plàter means, according to Pegesia entities and the local
[00:15:52] world, that the document, at least, must be redone. A Plàter that has
[00:15:56] been done hastily, 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 department. More than
[00:16:18] 300 municipalities have already opposed the plan, believing that
[00:16:21] it will destroy much agricultural and natural area and that it violates
[00:16:25] about forty points of different laws. They have been very
[00:16:28] clear with their demand. First, we ask them to withdraw the
[00:16:32] Plàter. And secondly, we ask for a moratorium on
[00:16:35] industrial macro-plant projects for renewables, until there
[00:16:39] is a well-made and approved and consensual plan with the citizens. For its
[00:16:42] part, the government makes a very
[00:16:46] different interpretation of the 12,000 allegations, which it will
[00:16:49] incorporate to adjust the initial proposal to the points of the
[00:16:52] territory where necessary. They will help us improve the document and from there
[00:16:56] 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
[00:17:06] growth of green energies and stop being the tail of Europe as far as
[00:17:10] renewables are concerned, the most important thing is precisely to have a
[00:17:13] planning element and understand that it not only talks about the
[00:17:17] energy generation sites, but that afterwards this energy has to be transported
[00:17:21] and the alternative of no Platter, to understand each other,
[00:17:24] would probably lead us to a much worse
[00:17:26] scenario. We have been warning for days that protecting
[00:17:30] your eyes well when looking at Wednesday's eclipse is fundamental. Looking
[00:17:34] directly at the sun without protection can cause
[00:17:37] irreversible eye injuries, that is, permanent ones. In many places, special
[00:17:41] glasses have sold out or very few
[00:17:44] remain.
[00:17:46] This optician in Terrassa almost has no more approved glasses to
[00:17:50] see the eclipse. This means that the population is aware that they will have to
[00:17:54] protect their eyes, but not everyone knows why it is essential,
[00:17:58] because sunglasses do not have this protection for
[00:18:02] protecting, I don't know, I can't explain it well. First of
[00:18:05] all, because observing the eclipse, contrary to... the sun on a normal
[00:18:08] day, could give us a false sense of
[00:18:11] security. Normally, we don't think of looking at the sun because we already know it will hurt
[00:18:16] an eclipse, since it is getting dark, nothing happens. And the
[00:18:19] truth is that at that moment is when our retina can be most sensitive,
[00:18:23] because our pupil will have dilated and this light will hit
[00:18:27] our eye with more energy. That is why we need these
[00:18:30] certified glasses that filter 100% of ultraviolet
[00:18:33] rays and also infrared rays, a
[00:18:36] protection that we do not achieve with normal sunglasses. This is the
[00:18:40] image seen through these glasses that have the most powerful filter
[00:18:44] on the market. This filters ultraviolet light and therefore
[00:18:48] still allows us to see the light of the
[00:18:51] street. However, if we try approved eclipse
[00:18:54] glasses, these also filter infrared
[00:18:58] light, and therefore we can see the sun with
[00:19:01] complete normality. And we will also see that we are completely in the
[00:19:05] dark, this is what allows us to see the eclipse safely. Despite wearing
[00:19:09] approved glasses, ophthalmologists recommend not
[00:19:12] exposing your eyesight for too long during the eclipse. If
[00:19:15] it is recommended that you look for 25, 30 seconds,
[00:19:19] take a break and 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] Fixed on 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 smudge,
[00:19:41] this smudge doesn't go away. That's why every
[00:19:45] eclipse without suffering irreversible damage to the retina.

[00:19:52] It is not just a feeling, the sea temperature has reached historical
[00:19:56] highs in both the Atlantic and the Western Mediterranean. As for
[00:19:59] temperatures, Europe has experienced the hottest
[00:20:03] start to summer in history, with 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 a record of CO2
[00:20:20] emissions.
[00:20:24] After three active days, firefighters have managed to stabilize the forest
[00:20:27] fire in Tiric and Catí, which is in the Alt Maestrat. The
[00:20:31] weather conditions have allowed them to attack the hot spots with about twenty
[00:20:34] air resources. The fire has devastated more than 750
[00:20:38] hectares. The confinement orders have been lifted and the residents of the
[00:20:42] town of Catia, evacuated yesterday, can now return home.
[00:20:45] In contrast, the fire in Niebla in Huelva is out
[00:20:49] of... the extinction capacity, it is already one of the largest
[00:20:53] in recent years in Andalusia, and has forced
[00:20:56] the evacuation of about 800 people.
[00:27:49] countries, us too, it will be delayed, but in the afternoon there will be some storms in
[00:27:53] some places in the Pyrenees, Pre-Pyrenees, especially in Lleida, also in the port
[00:27:58] basin. At 7 in the morning, we will have high values,
[00:28:02] Barcelona. 27 degrees e Mora d'Ebre 25. In fact, some
[00:28:05] regions are on night heat alert. From
[00:28:09] Barcelonès to Moncià, also passing
[00:28:12] through Ribera d'Ebre, Baix Ebre, also in
[00:28:15] Sagrià. The rest, calm in the morning with some cloudy intervals in the afternoon,
[00:28:19] clouds will grow in the Pyrenees or pre-Pyrenees, especially in Lleida, showers, some
[00:28:23] thunderstorms, also reaching the north of central Catalonia, also towards
[00:28:26] the Terra Alta area, interior
[00:28:30] Aragon, the temperature similar or... lower, heat equally and
[00:28:34] muggy near the sea, we also talk about some thunderstorms in the afternoon in the
[00:28:38] Andorran parishes towards the interior of Castellón, sun on the islands, a lot of
[00:28:41] heat, for example, Alghero maximum of 36 or 37 in Fraga,
[00:28:45] also intense heat in Italy, Rome
[00:28:48] 41 degrees, also heat in Paris, maximum of
