[00:00:32] 132 dead and 570 injured, is the provisional balance of
[00:00:35] victims of the strong earthquake in Colombia that collapsed a large number
[00:00:39] of buildings.
[00:00:42] The earthquake has affected cities like Pereira and Manizales, in the middle of
[00:00:46] the so-called coffee axis, a very
[00:00:49] special eclipse visited area by tourists, there is no record of any Catalans
[00:00:51] affected.
[00:00:54] All ready for tomorrow's eclipse,
[00:00:57] the new president Abelardo de traffic will explain today the details of the mobility plan.
[00:01:00] a day of much movement, especially towards the
[00:01:02] south.
[00:01:05] The PP communities will finally attend Thursday's meeting that will address the
[00:01:09] Camp de Tarragona and the Terres de distribution of the minors from Ceuta. In the last few hours, Morocco has shown
[00:01:12] its willingness for these minors to return to the
[00:02:25] Delta making a call. If anyone
[00:02:28] hears.
[00:02:46] Good morning, these are indeed key hours to rescue possible
[00:02:50] survivors of the earthquake in Colombia who have
[00:02:54] been left under the rubble. For the moment, the official death toll is
[00:02:57] 132, and the injured 570. There are also
[00:03:00] 188 missing. These are figures, as you can imagine, completely
[00:03:04] provisional. The earthquake of magnitude 7.4 had
[00:03:08] its epicenter in the department of Chocó, but has
[00:03:11] seriously affected neighboring departments and cities such as Pereira and
[00:03:14] Cali, about 300 km from the capital
[00:03:17] Bogotá.
[00:03:20] Sheltered as best they could, under the counter of a bar at Pereira
[00:03:23] coming to a great club and Airport, they recorded the moment of the
[00:03:26] earthquake with their phones.
[00:03:32] In a military barracks in Cali, the soldiers witness firsthand the destruction
[00:03:36] of a building.
[00:03:38] And during a news bulletin on Radio Quibdó, one of the most
[00:03:42] affected cities, the earthquake surprises the announcer.
[00:03:45] Unfortunately, we have to talk about deaths, about fatalities, about
[00:03:49] injured people, but that's, as they say, that's
[00:03:53] the job one has to do, that's the bad part of
[00:03:57] journalism, but it has to be done because it is.
[00:04:01] The nightmare lasted a few seconds that felt eternal,
[00:04:04] 7.4 magnitude that has caused deaths and destruction
[00:04:08] in the central-west of the country, we look for a
[00:04:11] we look for a place that we know is solid ground here in the
[00:04:15] square
[00:04:16] part also talks about and we passed, I think if it lasted 5 more seconds
[00:04:20] there would be nothing left, nothing left, I think
[00:04:24] we reached the limit of resistance, which is
[00:04:28] something impressive. that people, imagine, I
[00:04:32] saw people coming out naked, eh, people
[00:04:34] threw themselves from their second-floor houses,
[00:04:37] people, the earthquake was felt in neighboring countries
[00:04:42] and Manizales, in the middle of like Ecuador, Panama or Venezuela, devastated by an earthquake less than two
[00:04:46] months ago. The priority now is to find survivors among the rubble and
[00:04:49] evacuate people trapped in buildings that have resisted, but that
[00:04:53] present serious damage, as in one of the most important hospitals in the
[00:04:57] area, the hours to come are decisive.
[00:05:03] Every person that rescue teams manage to recover alive is
[00:05:06] lived as a victory, although as the hours pass, the uncertainty
[00:05:10] increases for the relatives who...
[00:05:20] that it's over, as you can see, completely inside was my
[00:05:24] wife, my daughter fortunately had left
[00:05:27] early, I also left early for work and look, we
[00:05:30] found ourselves with this, we can't, we haven't been able to rescue the
[00:05:34] lady, we don't know if she's alive or dead, there are the rescue teams
[00:05:38] trying to make space to reach
[00:05:41] it. At least 1,500 buildings have been
[00:05:45] affected, it is unknown how many people could still be under the
[00:05:49] rubble. The inhabitants relive the tragedy of the strong earthquake of
[00:05:53] 1999 that left almost 1200
[00:05:56] dead in this same
[00:05:58] coffee-growing area.
[00:06:01] The Colombian government has declared a national emergency to deal with the
[00:06:05] catastrophe just three days after the inauguration of
[00:06:09] la Espriella located in the top leadership.
[00:06:14] Right now, the main problem that rescue teams face is reaching the
[00:06:18] affected area, since the seven main airports in
[00:06:21] the central zone of Colombia, known as the Cauca Valley
[00:06:25] and the Coffee Axis, are affected with structural damage, not
[00:06:28] receiving flights. Cities impacted by the earthquake of
[00:06:32] magnitude 7.4 such as Cali, Pereira, and Manizales.
[00:06:36] The mayor, for example, of Pereira, has decreed a curfew
[00:06:39] to clear streets and avenues to facilitate the arrival of
[00:06:42] emergency military and also rescue teams. An earthquake that caught
[00:06:48] la Espriella, on what was supposed to be his first working day of government
[00:06:52] management. He assumed the position as head of state of the South American country
[00:06:55] last Friday, and the first thing he has done is to declare a national state of
[00:06:59] emergency. This will allow mobilizing the maximum
[00:07:02] amount of available resources to assist
[00:07:05] those affected.
[00:07:08] The national government keeps all its capabilities deployed
[00:07:11] to protect lives, assist affected communities
[00:07:14] and deliver aid to every territory
[00:07:18] that needs it. The first
[00:07:22] people who are under the rubble, that
[00:07:26] is the priority, to rescue people
[00:07:29] who are still under
[00:07:31] rubble.
[00:07:33] The Spanish government has no record that any Spaniard is among the
[00:07:37] fatalities in Colombia, where about 80,000 live,
[00:07:41] almost all of whom are Catalans.
[00:07:45] About 7,800 Catalans permanently reside in
[00:07:48] Colombia. Here, as president of the Catalan community, we are
[00:07:52] trying to talk to all the colleagues who live in
[00:07:55] Pereira, Manizales, in Cali.
[00:07:58] Luckily, they have been sending messages saying they were fine, that they were well,
[00:08:02] but, um, but the area is very
[00:08:05] destroyed. The earthquake was felt in several parts of the country, also in
[00:08:09] cities like Bogotá or Medellín, where most Catalans live. The immediate
[00:08:12] rush of everyone to the streets has had a huge impact, at least in the area where I
[00:08:16] live, which is the surroundings of the streets, which have been left full
[00:08:20] of people. They came down without thinking and
[00:08:23] well, with that fear of aftershocks, surprised, honestly,
[00:08:27] surprised and well, the television that I have fixed with a
[00:08:30] bracket to the wall also moved and I said, "Uh, what's happening
[00:08:34] here?" It also caught by surprise Catalans who were in the country doing
[00:08:37] tourism. It was a quarter past seven in the morning. We were
[00:08:41] at the hostel where... I was staying and suddenly it's true that everything started to
[00:08:45] shake. At first, the sensation was curious because you didn't really know what was happening
[00:08:49] and you saw the buildings move from one side to the other. It is the most
[00:08:52] tourist area, it is the area known as the Coffee Axis, it is the area of
[00:08:56] coffee, eh, it is in the center of the country, it is a
[00:08:59] zone between the two mountain ranges, Western
[00:09:03] and Central, and it is a populated area,
[00:09:07] it is a rich area where there is tourism. The Department of Foreign
[00:09:10] Affairs of the Generalitat says that it has no record of any Catalans
[00:09:14] affected by the earthquake.
[00:09:18] The news of the earthquake caught many Colombians living in
[00:09:21] Barcelona, in Catalonia or who are there
[00:09:25] as tourists by surprise. Many gathered in establishments of traditional cuisine
[00:09:29] from the country to share the latest information arriving from the
[00:09:32] area, although most had been able to contact family and friends from the
[00:09:36] most affected areas, they lived with great anguish the
[00:09:39] situation.
[00:09:43] quite affected emotionally, we already spoke with our relatives, we managed
[00:09:46] difficult communication, but we already managed
[00:09:49] to contact them, they are all well, I am very attentive to the phone
[00:09:53] to receive more messages to see what happens, we are only
[00:09:56] waiting for a friend of ours to answer, who
[00:10:00] hasn't said anything yet, one has the anguish of friends of friends
[00:10:04] of friends who have
[00:10:07] been through a little bit of everything, it's a feeling of despair, solace
[00:10:10] and perhaps a spiritual journey. because one is here, but with one's
[00:10:14] heart
[00:10:14] there.
[00:10:22] Countdown to tomorrow's great solar eclipse, a
[00:10:26] historic event that hasn't been seen in Catalonia for
[00:10:29] 121 years. The moon will start to cover the sun
[00:10:33] at half past seven, the eclipse will reach its maximum an hour later
[00:10:36] and the sun will set shortly before 9.
[00:10:40] The Ebre observatory in Roquetes has been carrying out
[00:10:43] outreach activities all week, the building is a symbol because
[00:10:47] it was built for the previous eclipse that occurred in Catalonia in
[00:10:51] 1905. There are 20 observation points in
[00:10:55] Catalonia, especially in the Ebre, Camp de Tarragona and Ponent
[00:10:59] in Segrià, the municipalities of Matret, Granja d'Escarp and
[00:11:02] Serós, have agreed to restrict access to wooded areas
[00:11:06] to reduce the risk
[00:11:08] of fire.
[00:11:11] Well, this morning traffic will present the
[00:11:14] plan in a press conference that we will follow live from 10 am.
[00:11:18] It is expected that the main mobility route tomorrow will be
[00:11:21] the AP7 southbound, truck traffic will be restricted,
[00:11:25] but despite this, traffic recommends using alternative roads
[00:11:28] to go west, the C25, the A2, the P2, and to go to
[00:11:34] l'Ebre, the 7, the
[00:11:35] N340.
[00:11:40] The glasses with special filter to see the eclipse have sold out in
[00:11:44] many stores, an sort of a black market has even been created to
[00:11:48] get them. Opticians are trying to restock them
[00:11:51] to supply last-minute customers between today and tomorrow. The glasses are
[00:11:55] essential to look directly at the sun, neither x-rays nor conventional
[00:11:58] sunglasses are valid, with the moon covering it, the sun
[00:12:02] will shine less and less and can give a false
[00:12:06] sense of security, but looking at it with the naked eye
[00:12:09] without filters can cause irreversible
[00:12:13] injuries.
[00:12:56] twenty have been injured last night in the Russian bombardment against
[00:12:59] the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia. This summer
[00:13:03] has already become the bloodiest of the entire war in
[00:13:06] Ukraine in terms of civilian casualties on both
[00:13:09] sides. In addition to Zaporizhzhia, Russian missiles and drones also
[00:13:13] fell last night on the capital Kyiv, but so far there are no
[00:13:17] reports of casualties in the city. Moscow has intensified ballistic missile
[00:13:20] attacks in recent weeks, taking advantage of the shortage of
[00:13:25] anti-aircraft defense systems suffered by Ukrainian forces. This
[00:13:28] night's attack comes just hours after Ukraine killed 13 Russian
[00:13:32] civilians in a petrochemical
[00:13:35] plant.
[00:13:39] The Ceuta crisis has led to a European conflict over
[00:13:42] immigration. Italy and Denmark have requested in a joint
[00:13:46] statement repatriation centers for immigrants in
[00:13:49] third countries outside the European Union. The Italian Prime Minister,
[00:13:52] far-right Georgia Meloni and the Social Democrat from opposing political
[00:13:58] families, therefore agree in rejecting what
[00:14:01] they consider uncontrolled immigration as a result of the migratory crisis
[00:14:04] in Ceuta. Both criticize the negative impact of irregular
[00:14:08] immigration on the crime rate and the
[00:14:12] pressure on public services.
[00:14:15] On
[00:14:19] Thursday, a meeting has been called between the Spanish government and the autonomous communities to
[00:14:22] address the relocation of minors arriving in Ceuta. Finally,
[00:14:26] the PP communities, with some governments in the hands of Vox,
[00:14:29] will attend. In the last few hours, there is a new element in this issue, as
[00:14:33] Morocco has shown its willingness for the minors from
[00:14:37] Ceuta to be able to return to the country.
[00:14:41] Without enough translators to attend to them, the dozens of minors wait at the
[00:14:45] doors of the Ceuta police station, queuing for the
[00:14:48] police to take their data and add them to a list that already
[00:14:51] reaches 1400 registered minors.
[00:15:25] to return will be transferred to other communities, as the law states. The
[00:15:28] first meeting on the distribution will be on Thursday. Vox says that
[00:15:32] it will not send its regional representatives, the PP, which governs
[00:15:36] with them in several communities, will attend, but
[00:15:39] does not spare criticism of the Spanish
[00:15:40] government.
[00:15:45] Pedro Sánchez is incapable of defending our borders. For its part,
[00:15:49] Junts says that in Catalonia there are not enough places to accommodate them,
[00:15:52] recalling the 2025 agreement, by which it was exempted
[00:15:55] from the distribution. What the Spanish government has to decide is whether
[00:15:59] it wants to continue doing the job as it has been until now or wants to return
[00:16:03] to what it was before, continuing to tension Catalonia. We bet
[00:16:07] on continuing as before and that Catalonia remains excluded. Between adults
[00:16:10] and minors in Ceuta, there are between 8,000 and 11,000 migrants who entered on
[00:16:14] July 30, according to the city's president, who has asked to close them
[00:16:18] in internment centers before
[00:16:20] expelling them.
[00:16:23] to these people and there they remain confined. Vives
[00:16:27] has also expressed concern about the possibility of a new wave of arrivals this
[00:16:30] week, which has forced the suspension of military and
[00:16:34] civil guard holidays.
[00:16:58] consequences of the earthquake in Colombia and the efforts of the
[00:17:02] rescue teams to recover people from under the rubble. There are already
[00:17:05] 132 dead.
[00:17:09] We have also explained everything about the eclipse, the
[00:17:13] eve of the event. Today we will know what mobility plan
[00:17:16] has been prepared
[00:17:17] and
[00:17:21] immediately we will explain that from today until the 23rd, train traffic
[00:17:25] will be interrupted between the Gràcia and Sarrià stations in
[00:17:28] Barcelona, of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat for some improvement
[00:17:54] for an alleged sexist murder. The crime
[00:17:57] would have been committed early yesterday afternoon in the Malaga town of San
[00:18:01] Pedro de Alcántara and the victim would be his partner. So far this
[00:18:05] year, 36 women have died
[00:18:07] in Spain at the hands of their partner or ex-partner, the highest
[00:18:11] figure since 2019.
[00:18:14] Let's talk about the fires now. The Niebla fire in Huelva has been burning for five days now
[00:18:18] and is advancing uncontrolled. It has burned more than 20,000
[00:18:21] hectares. The virulence of the fire makes it difficult
[00:18:24] to encircle. It spreads in secondary outbreaks that overcome
[00:18:27] firebreaks and hinder the work of aerial means. Almost 700
[00:18:31] people have had to be evacuated. Another
[00:18:34] fire in the province of Huesca affects a large mass
[00:18:37] of trees in the municipality of Peñas de Riglos. It has burned
[00:18:40] 2,500 hectares. Evacuations have also
[00:18:43] been carried out there.
[00:18:47] We mentioned a few moments ago that traffic is cut between Gràcia and Sarrià stations
[00:18:51] in Barcelona, of Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat, due to works to
[00:18:54] renovate the track. An alternative bus service will circulate along Via
[00:18:58] Augusta until August 23. Trains on lines
[00:19:01] S1 and S2 will maintain their usual schedules between Sarrià and
[00:19:04] Terrassa and Sabadell, but traffic between Gràcia and Plaça Catalunya
[00:19:08] will modify the frequency of passage. The lines between Plaça
[00:19:11] Catalunya and Altividavo and between Sarrià and Reina Elisenda are not
[00:19:15] affected by the works, they maintain
[00:19:18] their
[00:19:19] schedule.
[00:19:27] Time to review the newspaper headlines for this Tuesday, August
[00:19:30] 11. Let's start with the newspaper Ara, still on the migration
[00:19:33] crisis in Ceuta. Ara reports on the reactions of Italy and
[00:19:37] Denmark, who demand the creation of repatriation centers and link
[00:19:41] immigration with crime. In the lower part, Ara also talks
[00:19:44] about the 7.4 magnitude earthquake that has shaken
[00:19:48] Colombia. La Vanguardia, for its part, highlights the
[00:19:51] same headlines and in the lower
[00:19:54] the eclipse, saying that Spain is preparing for 1.5 million
[00:19:57] trips for the eclipse. And
[00:20:00] we move on to El Periódico, which talks about the situation at airports. It says that
[00:20:04] the increase in flights is even saturating the airspace of Barcelona and
[00:20:08] Madrid. The European Organization for Air Safety warns that
[00:20:12] some areas receive more traffic than they can handle in summer and
[00:20:15] proposes measures to alleviate the pressure. El Punt
[00:20:19] Avui, still on the eclipse, says that the expectation to follow tomorrow's
[00:20:23] astronomical phenomenon is unleashed, although meteorological
[00:20:26] forecasts do not indicate good conditions,
[00:20:29] and one of the regions where the eclipse can be fully followed
[00:20:33] is Lleida. That is why the newspaper Lleida Segre says that the
[00:20:37] towns with a total eclipse ask those who do not have a reservation not to go
[00:20:40] to see it. Sagrià will close access to some
[00:20:44] localities to avoid crowds and due to the risk
[00:20:47] of fires. We finish with El País, which highlights the entire
[00:20:51] cover on the earthquake in Colombia. The lower
[00:20:53] part also echoes the testimony of a nurse from a Cali
[00:20:57] hospital who explains how she helped the patients admitted to the ICU.
[00:21:01] The Camp de Tarragona festival
[00:27:03] Energy factor,
[00:30:32] 70 injured, is the provisional balance of victims of the strong earthquake in Colombia
[00:30:36] that has shaken a large number
[00:30:38] of buildings.
[00:30:41] The earthquake has affected cities like Pereira
[00:30:45] the so-called coffee axis, an area much visited by tourists, there is no
[00:30:48] record of Catalans
[00:30:50] affected.
[00:30:53] Everything ready for tomorrow's eclipse, traffic will explain today the details of the
[00:30:57] mobility plan, a very busy day is expected.
