[00:00:09] firefighters from various towns in
[00:00:25] The Spanish government announces 1,500 new places to
[00:00:29] accommodate migrants arriving in Ceuta. It is the response to the
[00:00:32] criticism from the President of the Autonomous City, who accuses
[00:00:35] the executive of inaction and threatens to take them to
[00:00:38] court.
[00:00:42] Nine years later, Barcelona and Ripoll commemorate the victims of the
[00:00:46] 2017 attacks. 16 people lost their lives in the
[00:00:50] jihadist attacks, which will also be remembered this Tuesday in
[00:00:53] Cambrils. Survivors and families of the victims criticize
[00:00:57] that many wounds are still open.
[00:01:03] The government is committed to using artificial intelligence to find out how many
[00:01:07] empty flats there are in Catalonia. For five years there have been no
[00:01:11] minimally reliable data, an obstacle to being able to mobilize all
[00:01:14] this housing
[00:01:15] of the year due to price stock.
[00:01:19] Trump threatens to attack Oman and allies with Iran in the strategy to
[00:01:22] control the Strait of Hormuz, coinciding with the end of the two-month
[00:01:26] deadline for the United States and Iran to end the
[00:01:30] conflict, the price of oil rises
[00:01:32] again.
[00:01:36] A Russian court sentences one of the leaders of Vladimir Putin's opposition to
[00:01:39] 11 years in prison for having called for a ceasefire in
[00:01:43] 15% in the price of meat, right? And what Ukraine. The sentence beheads the pacifist party
[00:01:46] Yabloko, which is prohibited from running in next month's
[00:01:49] legislative elections due to another
[00:01:52] court ruling.
[00:02:16] after the massive influx of migrants from Ceuta, the crisis in the autonomous
[00:02:20] city remains
[00:02:22] outside. That is why they ask on the rising cost of living and the price of entrenched. The Ministry of the Interior has not provided data in its
[00:02:24] latest bi-weekly report on how many people remain in
[00:02:29] of these homes to put them on the rental the enclave. The images of dozens of migrants living precariously on the street or
[00:02:32] sleeping on the beach highlight the lack
[00:02:34] seat of an overturned car in the of places, and the Spanish government has responded today by announcing
[00:02:38] new measures, as followed from Ceuta by the team formed by Anna Teixidór
[00:02:41] and Marc Faro. The
[00:02:44] and also towards the interior of the Ebro government has announced the immediate creation of 1,500 new temporary
[00:02:48] reception places for immigrants. These
[00:02:52] are four new spaces, distributed in various parts of the
[00:02:55] city's periphery. We were able to see this afternoon, then, the first
[00:02:59] preparations. The parking lot of Loma Colmenar, the emergency
[00:03:03] area, arrives with the centers saturated and there are thousands of people
[00:03:06] living precariously on the street, like here on the Trampolín beach.
[00:03:10] Throughout today there have been several concentrations of
[00:03:13] migrants, in which they demand asylum, they ask the Spanish
[00:03:16] government to give them an opportunity to work, above all, not to
[00:03:20] return them to Morocco, a situation that
[00:03:23] drags on and a debate that
[00:03:26] the meeting, but the Israeli is very much alive on the street, but not everyone sees or interprets.
[00:04:08] The relationship between the government of Ceuta and the Spanish government has toughened
[00:04:11] 17 days after the start of this crisis, the president of Ceuta
[00:04:15] threatens to go to court if Madrid does not resolve the migratory
[00:04:18] crisis in 30 days, meanwhile, the government of Pedro
[00:04:22] Sánchez defends its management.
[00:04:25] Tension and long faces at the meeting between the Minister of Migration and the President of
[00:04:29] Ceuta. Juan Jesús Vivas had just accused the Spanish government of
[00:04:33] camouflaging the reality in the migratory crisis of passivity and
[00:04:36] launched this warning: if in 30 days the situation is not resolved,
[00:04:40] Catalunya station on he will go to court.
[00:04:41] line 3 had to be We are going to resort to other instances of the state, we have the obligation to do so
[00:04:45] to the general courts, to the judicial
[00:04:48] power, to whoever is needed, because
[00:04:53] Salvador Rubén Yáñez's we are not going to give up. But despite the toughening of Vivas's discourse, Minister Elma Saiz avoided
[00:04:57] appealing for cooperation between governments and defended it.
[00:05:01] I believe that collaboration between administrations is what citizens
[00:05:04] expect, this government has not stopped working for a single
[00:05:08] second, from the very first moment, accompanying Ceuta in this.
[00:05:18] Precisely, Sánchez has presided over a telematic meeting from Lanzarote
[00:05:22] to coordinate the management of the migratory crisis with part of his
[00:05:25] ministers. The PP reproaches him for continuing his holidays while Ceuta, they
[00:05:29] maintain, is in an extreme situation. The Popular Party encourages the
[00:05:32] president of the Autonomous City to go to court. Whatever is necessary, the
[00:05:36] measures that need to be articulated from the judicial point of view. And, of
[00:05:39] course, we will support President Vivas.
[00:05:59] he tells Vivas not to wait to take Sánchez's executive to
[00:06:02] justice. Two boats with
[00:06:06] 55 migrants of sub-Saharan origin on board arrived this
[00:06:10] Monday at the island of Formentera within a few hours' difference,
[00:06:13] the last one was intercepted in the S'Estufador area in broad daylight, the
[00:06:17] Civil Guard arrested the 28 people traveling in it,
[00:06:20] the other had been detected at dawn in the Escaló area, according to
[00:06:24] data from the Ministry of the Interior, this year almost
[00:06:28] 4,500 migrants have arrived in the Balearic
[00:06:30] Islands.
[00:06:38] Knowing exactly how many empty flats there are in Catalonia is at this point
[00:06:42] an unknown. The latest official data from three years ago counted
[00:06:46] more than 400,000. Now the
[00:06:49] government is preparing a map with artificial intelligence to
[00:06:52] get a radiography.
[00:06:56] These flats in El Prat de Llobregat acquired by an investment fund have been
[00:07:00] empty for years. The city council finally managed to buy them and they entered
[00:07:04] the affordable rental market managed by the municipal company Prat
[00:07:07] Espais. Now they are trying to capture empty flats also from financial
[00:07:11] entities in exchange for tax breaks and
[00:07:14] payment guarantees. Three years ago we did a study to find out
[00:07:17] how many empty flats there are in the municipality and detected 180,
[00:07:21] but the data is not updated. This update
[00:07:24] of these databases is complicated even because I don't know how many
[00:07:28] mechanisms we have to detect those who have not complied with their obligation to declare that
[00:07:32] they had an empty flat. Now only the large owners, who are a minority,
[00:07:36] are obliged to report empty flats, to have a real figure
[00:07:41] market. This is the government's objective and to refine the data
[00:07:45] it is preparing a map designed with artificial
[00:07:47] intelligence. What we do is use the data, whether
[00:07:51] it's the city council with water consumption, with electricity consumption, with the
[00:07:55] with the registration data, it can determine
[00:07:59] that with the available data, that dwelling is
[00:08:02] empty. From here we will see where there is more
[00:08:05] potential, where there are the pockets of empty housing that may
[00:08:08] interest us most for public housing policies.
[00:08:12] Identified empty flats, local councils will be able to penalize
[00:08:15] owners and force them to put them on the market, but for now
[00:08:19] only 13 municipalities are applying a surcharge on the tax that
[00:08:23] can be from 50 to 150%.
[00:08:26] Large owners who have more than 15 empty flats of more than
[00:08:29] 150 square meters for 2 years must pay a
[00:08:33] tax. Last year almost three million euros were
[00:08:37] collected that have served to expand the budget allocated to the purchase of
[00:08:41] social rental flats.
[00:08:44] Nine years have passed since the jihadist attacks in Barcelona and
[00:08:47] Cambrils that caused 16 deaths and more than 300 injured
[00:08:51] victims. Tributes have been held for the victims in
[00:08:54] Barcelona with the presence of families in Ripoll, where the
[00:08:57] terrorists were from. It's very hard to remember that day, it's
[00:09:01] going back again, even though nine years have passed, what happened
[00:09:05] to us was terrible, but we are also happy
[00:09:09] to be able to have it remembered. She is one of the
[00:09:12] 368 victims of the Barcelona and Cambrils attacks.
[00:09:16] Elizabeth lost her mother due to the impact of one of the
[00:09:20] terrorists' vans on La Rambla 9 years ago. Ripoll, the municipality
[00:09:23] where most of the terrorists were from, also has residents among the
[00:09:27] affected who attended the tribute in front of the town hall today. For
[00:09:30] me it was very difficult because I live a lot in Ripoll, I
[00:09:34] work in Ripoll, so I have met families,
[00:09:38] I have met colleagues and I am talking about the
[00:09:41] terrorists. The truth is that it has been very, very complicated
[00:09:45] because for years we didn't feel accompanied at
[00:09:48] all. In Barcelona, the event had to be held in Sant
[00:09:51] Jaume square because La Rambla is under construction, a minute of silence with
[00:09:55] families, victims and authorities in memory of the 16
[00:09:58] dead and more than 300 affected, many with psychological
[00:10:02] sequelae who demand more attention from the administration.
[00:10:05] Of course, there are still many things to do. And a protocol for victim care after
[00:10:09] an attack. That is, it is not normal that... these years
[00:10:12] that
[00:10:21] have passed since then, they have still had relapses.
[00:10:25] In the afternoon, another tribute event, the one convened by the Catalan Association of
[00:10:28] Victims of Terrorism in front of the Monument on Meridiana Avenue,
[00:10:32] where a floral
[00:10:33] offering
[00:10:42] was made. Donald Trump has threatened to attack Oman and sided with the
[00:10:45] Tehran regime regarding the management of the Strait of Hormuz. Today the 60-day
[00:10:49] truce established by the agreement between the United States and Iran to definitively end
[00:10:53] the war has been
[00:10:55] completed, but the situation has remained immobile. Negotiations remain
[00:10:59] stalled. The ambitious plan included 14 points, of which none
[00:11:02] have been met.
[00:11:04] Despite the pomp at Versailles of Trump's signing of the memorandum
[00:11:08] of understanding with Iran, 60 days later, not a single one of the
[00:11:12] 14 points of the draft has been met. The two parties had
[00:11:16] already declared it dead long before today the two-month deadline, which could be
[00:11:19] extended, for reaching a definitive agreement expired.
[00:11:23] The main obstacle has been the Strait of Hormuz, which has become
[00:11:27] the most powerful weapon of the Islamic regime because it allows it to block the
[00:11:30] transit of 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas.
[00:11:34] Iran is not willing to give up its control and announces an
[00:11:38] imminent agreement with Oman, the other coastal country of the Strait
[00:11:41] to manage this maritime passage that was open to free
[00:11:45] circulation before the war initiated by Israel and the United
[00:11:48] States.
[00:11:50] the two sides have shown so far
[00:11:55] that they are determined to develop a mechanism
[00:11:58] that would provide for the interests and
[00:12:01] concerns of both sides and at the same time
[00:12:05] provide for the concerns related to international shipping.
[00:12:09] Donald Trump, enraged, announces that he
[00:12:13] now threatens to mercilessly bomb Oman, a country allied
[00:12:16] with the United States, if it interferes with the matter.
[00:12:20] The American president, who surprisingly brags about winning the
[00:12:23] war, has even said that once he has defeated Iran, he will declare the Strait
[00:12:27] of Hormuz to be United States territory. Trump cannot find
[00:12:31] a way out of a war that his advisors recommended he not start.
[00:12:35] Less than three months before the midterm elections, his popularity
[00:12:39] is the lowest since he took office, with voters
[00:12:43] concerned about the effects of the conflict
[00:12:46] gasoline. The situation in Iran is even worse. Its
[00:12:50] economy is in free fall and the missing supreme leader
[00:12:53] Moqtada al-Sadr. has just appointed hardline commanders
[00:12:57] to high security positions in anticipation of an
[00:13:01] indefinite confrontation with the United States and to suppress
[00:13:04] any attempt at internal protest as he already did earlier this year
[00:13:08] causing thousands of
[00:13:09] deaths.
[00:13:13] Uncertainty ends up taking its toll on the markets and today we have a new
[00:13:17] example of this. The price of oil has risen again above
[00:13:20] $90 a barrel of Brent, a price not seen for
[00:13:24] over a month. The end of the truce between the United States and Iran has also led to red numbers
[00:13:28] on European stock markets. The Ibex 35 is the one that has fallen the most
[00:13:31] and has lost 20,000 points followed by Paris and
[00:13:35] London.
[00:13:37] The White House Special Envoy
[00:13:40] Jared Kushner met for three hours with Benjamin Netanyahu
[00:13:44] with the aim of unblocking the peace plan. Both sides show
[00:13:48] their moderate optimism after
[00:13:51] Prime Minister reiterates that they will not withdraw any
[00:13:55] soldiers until Hamas has disarmed. Jordi Berescó
[00:13:58] provides more details from Jerusalem.
[00:14:01] Kushner concludes his visit to the Middle East with more doubts than
[00:14:05] certainties about the transition process in Gaza. And this despite
[00:14:08] the fact that both the Peace Committee and the Netanyahu office have issued
[00:14:12] communiqués valuing positively today's
[00:14:15] meeting. After Netanyahu's refusal of
[00:14:18] Trump's initial proposal, which was rejected, let's remember, by Hamas,
[00:14:22] it seems that the roadmap
[00:14:26] has now been adapted to Israel's demands,
[00:14:29] first there must be the complete disarmament of Hamas and
[00:14:33] then the rest. In this sense, today's meeting approved
[00:14:37] the creation of a working group for the
[00:14:39] demilitarization of Gaza. Israel, however,
[00:14:43] continues to reserve the right to attack the strip when it deems it appropriate,
[00:14:46] the Peace Committee respects this despite the fact that Hamas had demanded a
[00:14:50] complete cessation of attacks. It had also demanded that Israel
[00:14:54] withdraw to the yellow line,
[00:14:57] that was before, now the Islamists are left with little room for
[00:15:01] maneuver.
[00:15:04] And in Russia, an almost exemplary sentence against one of the leaders of the
[00:15:07] pacifist opposition. The judiciary has sentenced the vice-president of the
[00:15:11] Yabloko party to 11 years in prison for publicly
[00:15:14] calling for a ceasefire, all this just one month before the
[00:15:18] legislative elections in the country.
[00:15:21] Cristina Solías provides more details from Moscow.
[00:15:25] Lev Losberg, at 63 years old, will have to spend
[00:15:29] 11 years behind bars, convicted of discrediting the
[00:15:32] army, his crime, having called for a ceasefire in a debate
[00:15:35] and having shared a cover of the British Daily Mirror accusing
[00:15:39] Vladimir Putin of having blood on his hands. With
[00:15:43] him, there are now eight Yabloko leaders imprisoned for criticizing
[00:15:46] the war. The Supreme Court also today ratified the decision
[00:15:50] to exclude the party from the parliamentary elections next September
[00:15:54] 20. Initially, the regime had allowed them to run,
[00:15:58] but Yabloko soared in the polls and the authorities finally feared
[00:16:01] that the election would turn into a plebiscite on the war.
[00:16:05] This has led to a new wave
[00:16:09] of repression against anti-war leaders and their
[00:16:12] sympathizers, just today there have been about eighty
[00:16:15] arrests.
[00:16:23] The Catalan beef sector is in a difficult situation, prices have
[00:16:27] fallen due to the decrease in meat consumption and farmers are asking the
[00:16:31] administrations for measures and direct aid to reverse this
[00:16:34] extreme situation.
[00:16:37] This farm in Artesa de Lleida fattens cattle for
[00:16:40] meat consumption and like other farms, they are at
[00:16:44] their limit due to falling prices. The fattening sector has
[00:16:48] seen its profit margin dissipate this first part
[00:16:53] declines and it is not expected
[00:16:56] where it can go because for the moment it goes
[00:17:00] week after week we will enter a scenario
[00:17:03] where we will be forced to reduce
[00:17:05] activity.
[00:17:07] In mid-summer, the most common beef has fallen by around 60
[00:17:11] cents per kilo of carcass at the Mercolleida market.
[00:17:15] We are with very high costs and with a drop of more than
[00:17:21] worries us most is that there is also no outlet for
[00:17:24] animals for slaughter, this causes farms to become
[00:17:27] more collapsed. Agricultural
[00:17:29] organizations point to several causes that would also explain the difficult
[00:17:33] moment the sector is going through, for example, the war in the Middle East or
[00:17:36] the lumpy skin disease crisis, but above all
[00:17:40] they criticize the competition from Mercosur countries and in
[00:17:43] particular from Brazil, which with the agreement has gained even more
[00:17:47] weight. It is not easy to produce with the quality standards
[00:17:51] required by the European Union and what we cannot allow
[00:17:54] is to be stabbed in the back by allowing meat from
[00:17:59] the administrations for measures and direct aid for
[00:18:03] farmers. And the Mossos d'Esquadra have found
[00:18:08] a 42-year-old man dead in the passenger
[00:18:12] Urgell canal in Golmés. The driver, who fled
[00:18:15] the scene, has been arrested for involuntary manslaughter and tested positive for
[00:18:19] alcohol. The accident occurred last
[00:18:23] night. When the Mossos d'Esquadra arrived at the scene, they
[00:18:26] removed the car from the canal and found a dead person inside,
[00:18:30] in the passenger seat, and that the driver's door was
[00:18:33] ajar, but with no one else. In another canal, the Cap
[00:18:43] de Pinyana irrigation canal in Lleida, specialized units of firefighters and
[00:18:46] Mossos d'Esquadra have recovered the body of a person still
[00:18:50] to be identified. Everything points to the person having fallen accidentally
[00:18:53] in Torrefarrera and the strong current having dragged them about 10
[00:18:57] km downstream. Downstream.
[00:19:00] The police
[00:19:07] this weekend, the area of the railway park has a balance of
[00:19:11] five arrests. The majority, four, are minors between
[00:19:14] 14 and 17 years old, and the only adult has been brought before
[00:19:18] the court. There are also four injured, one of them with a knife wound to
[00:19:22] the back. The investigation remains open, but the mayor of Lleida has
[00:19:25] explained that the origin would be the disputes between a group of young people of
[00:19:29] different nationalities, who for weeks have been committing
[00:19:32] robberies against Pakistani and Hindu
[00:19:35] merchants. The police have deployed a special operation in the
[00:19:39] area. For a few days now, a group of
[00:19:42] young people have been generating a
[00:19:46] certain unease, coexistence problems, that all
[00:19:49] the people who have been identified from the
[00:19:53] riots, most of them have police
[00:19:56] records. We are talking about people who are practically all
[00:20:00] minors. minors.
[00:20:02] the fire in a transformer
[00:20:05] on La Rambla in Barcelona has forced
[00:20:08] its evacuation. No one was injured, but La Rambla was
[00:20:12] closed off in that section and two of the accesses to
[00:20:19] closed. Seven fire brigades were dispatched to
[00:20:22] the scene and worked jointly with personnel from the
[00:20:26] electricity
[00:20:27] company.
[00:20:31] The fire in the Peñas de Riglos in Aragon has been burning for a week
[00:20:35] and there are still more than 1,000 people displaced by
[00:20:38] a fire that has already affected 17,000 hectares. Although
[00:20:42] many roads remain closed, some residents have been able to access their
[00:20:46] homes to collect some of their belongings, accompanied by the Civil
[00:20:49] Guard. During the morning, volunteers have cleared
[00:20:53] various areas of branches and other flammable
[00:20:55] materials. Tonight,
[00:20:59] the army and also from France will continue working
[00:21:03] to stabilize the
[00:21:04] fire.
[00:27:48] Good morning, we start this Tuesday again with these temperatures that have
[00:27:52] struggled to drop, with values
[00:27:54] still not falling below 24-25 degrees in some
[00:27:58] stretches of the coast, nor tropical towards the coast and the pre-coastal area, up to a
[00:28:02] sector of the inland regions and undoubtedly cooler weather
[00:28:06] towards the Pyrenees and pre-Pyrenees. Night-time heat
[00:28:09] warnings remain on the coast, north wind, tramontana heating up
[00:28:13] towards Empordà, maestral towards the Ebro lands, more sun towards inland
[00:28:16] regions and low clouds following the coast, mainly between the south of the
[00:28:20] Costa Brava and the central coast. This afternoon we will have
[00:28:24] clouds, they will grow towards the Pyrenees and there may be some showers, but they would
[00:28:28] be much more isolated phenomena. We would have the most
[00:28:30] stable afternoon of the whole week, however,
[00:28:34] it will be hot again, temperatures will intensify again, thermometers
[00:28:38] will rise again, these higher values that can reach
[00:28:41] or almost reach 40 degrees towards the west
[00:28:47] lands, sun towards the Balearic Islands, Valencia, western strip,
[00:28:51] some clouds that can grow innocuously towards the Pyrenees, little else and
[00:28:54] temperatures that remain in the high range, a similar
