[00:00:17] procession a sculpture of
[00:00:28] Temporary shelters are starting to be installed. New spaces to house migrants who are currently
[00:00:32] living in dire conditions on the beaches. 1500 new
[00:00:35] places are expected.
[00:00:38] Cambrils commemorates today the ninth anniversary of the August 17th attack, after
[00:00:42] memorial events were held both in Barcelona and
[00:00:45] Ripoll.
[00:00:48] Donald Trump threatens to attack Oman and side with Iran with the strategy
[00:00:52] to control the Strait of Hormuz, coinciding with the end of the two-month
[00:00:56] deadline for the United States and Iran to end the
[00:01:00] conflict.
[00:01:03] Today, a trial begins in California against Meta for the damages that its
[00:01:07] social networks have caused minors. The company
[00:01:10] of Facebook and Instagram faces claims for more than a trillion
[00:01:14] euros, which is practically its value on
[00:01:36] especially in the towns near the sea, where the humidity has caused a
[00:01:39] suffocating sensation that has complicated nighttime
[00:01:42] rest.
[00:01:46] Today will be another sunny day with intense heat and stuffiness on the coast,
[00:01:50] with Tramontana winds in the Empordà and
[00:01:53] of the Ebro lands. Ebro winds in the morning that will calm down in the afternoon. The highest maximums
[00:01:57] could reach
[00:01:59] regime regarding the management of 40 degrees.
[00:02:02] Live images from the Montserrat Mountain. Right now
[00:02:06] it's 21 degrees,
[00:02:08] The president of Colombia, Belisario de 79% humidity at this time.
[00:02:14] Gamper. The chosen best player of
[00:02:27] Oman, the other coastal country of Ceuta, because they have already started setting up
[00:02:30] tents to accommodate the thousands of migrants who
[00:02:33] have been living in dire conditions since the end of July in the streets and on the beaches of the
[00:02:37] autonomous city. The Spanish government has announced the creation of 1,500
[00:02:40] new temporary reception places for migrants in four spaces
[00:02:44] on the outskirts of the city. This Monday, the adaptation of
[00:02:48] the esplanade of the
[00:02:50] Colmenar has already begun.
[00:02:54] They live directly opposite the
[00:02:56] her because it doesn't Trampolín beach. From their terrace, they see this image every day. It is
[00:03:00] another of the contrasts that the massive arrival of people has left
[00:03:03] in Ceuta, a few meters from their homes, a beach
[00:03:06] converted into an improvised reception point. Many residents
[00:03:09] assure that they have stopped living a normal life. Our children cannot
[00:03:13] sociology of go to the beach. I usually, until now, would be here at home
[00:03:17] with my family or we would be at the beach and well,
[00:03:20] now we are stuck here in the house with the air conditioning on
[00:03:24] because we don't feel safe even on our own terrace
[00:03:27] which is ours, which is our property. In the city,
[00:03:30] merchants also assure that they are suffering the economic consequences of this
[00:03:34] crisis. The festivals have been
[00:03:36] this time of year. suspended, a draw for families, tourists
[00:03:38] and economically
[00:03:41] or commercially, from what I live, well, the truth is that it is affecting
[00:03:45] us quite a lot. As you are seeing, the shops are empty, people are very
[00:03:49] scared and it's like a lockdown. We were in lockdown
[00:03:52] for two months, well, we've been like this for almost a month and many people, elderly
[00:03:56] people or parents who don't let their daughters go to school or the gym. Bars, restaurants
[00:04:00] and shops even closed their shutters during the most critical moments, now they are
[00:04:08] reopening, but the sector estimates that the economic impact exceeds 25 million
[00:04:12] euros, but the story is not unanimous, there are also those who ask
[00:04:16] to put themselves in the shoes of the people who have arrived in the city and understand the
[00:04:20] situation they are living. It's not about
[00:04:22] immigrants, no, but about these
[00:04:25] people.
[00:04:38] Cambrils commemorates today the ninth anniversary of
[00:04:56] press, El País focuses on
[00:05:00] complex, that of a city that wants to recover its daily life while
[00:05:03] living with the consequences of an arrival of people
[00:05:17] of sub-Saharan origin on board arrived this Monday at the island of
[00:05:20] Formentera, with a few hours' difference. The last one was
[00:05:24] intercepted in the S'Estofador area in broad daylight. The
[00:05:27] Civil Guard detained the 28 people who were
[00:05:30] traveling on it. The other one had been detected at dawn in the
[00:05:34] Escaló area. According to data from the Ministry of Interior, this year nearly
[00:05:37] 4,500 migrants have arrived in the Balearic
[00:05:40] Islands.
[00:05:48] Cambrils commemorates today the ninth anniversary of the August 17th attack
[00:05:52] with an event in front of the city's yacht club, and the tribute is held in front
[00:05:56] of the monument for peace that was built in 2018 on the same maritime
[00:05:59] promenade where the terrorists were gunned down. Yesterday,
[00:06:03] Barcelona also remembered the victims with a tribute in Plaça de Sant Jaume and
[00:06:07] another on Avenida Meridiana where a floral offering was made.
[00:06:11] Relatives of the victims. Representatives of the institutions and
[00:06:14] members of the emergency services observed a minute of
[00:06:17] silence. A memorial event was also held in Ripoll,
[00:06:21] the terrorists' town
[00:06:22] of origin.
[00:06:26] More topics from the Leire case reappear in mid-August
[00:06:29] in the courts, and it is that the former chief of staff of Pedro Sánchez and
[00:06:33] former president of Correos, Juan Manuel Serrano, is summoned today to the
[00:06:37] National Court. Judge Santiago Pedraz has
[00:06:40] summoned him to verify the copy that the Civil Guard made of his mobile phone
[00:06:44] and that links him to the plot. Serrano is under investigation for participating in
[00:06:48] operations to hinder judicial investigations affecting the
[00:06:51] PSOE, also for the irregular awarding of
[00:06:54] public contracts in exchange for commissions.
[00:07:07] Donald Trump threatened to attack Oman and align with the Tehran
[00:07:11] Hormuz. The threat caught the Sultan of Oman on a visit to the
[00:07:15] Arab Emirates, and no reaction has been reported. The
[00:07:19] negotiations remain stalled, and the main stumbling block is precisely
[00:07:23] this Strait of Hormuz, this maritime passage that has become the most
[00:07:26] powerful weapon of the Islamic regime, because it allows it to
[00:07:29] block the transit of 20% of the world's oil and
[00:07:32] liquefied gas. Iran is not willing to give up its control and
[00:07:36] announces a consultation with
[00:07:39] the Strait, to manage this maritime passage that was
[00:07:43] open to free circulation, let's remember, before the war
[00:07:46] initiated by Israel and the United
[00:07:48] States.
[00:07:52] Oman is not the only American ally with whom Donald Trump
[00:07:56] has problems lately. Also with the South
[00:07:59] Korean regime, the American president has ordered to reduce as much
[00:08:03] as possible the military exercises with Seoul that they have been doing
[00:08:06] together for 70 years. He justified it with
[00:08:10] these arguments.
[00:08:12] I said, would you like to give us a little hand? We don't need help with Iran, but if
[00:08:16] you'd like to give us a hand with Iran. He said, no
[00:08:19] thanks. And I said, what do we, we have 39,000
[00:08:23] soldiers over there guarding you from Kim
[00:08:26] Jong-un, you're next to her neighbor, and you're not
[00:08:30] going to help us with a very easy military
[00:08:33] operation in Iran. That's
[00:08:35] strange.
[00:08:39] Today in California, a trial begins that is considered historic for
[00:08:42] the control of social networks. The prosecutors of about
[00:08:46] thirty American states are bringing Meta, the company
[00:08:49] of Instagram and Facebook, to the defendants' bench for the alleged
[00:08:53] damages caused to children and young people. They consider that
[00:08:57] they use techniques that cause a kind of addiction among minors. They also accuse
[00:09:01] Mark Zuckerberg's company of having illegally
[00:09:04] appropriated information. If all the lawsuits
[00:09:07] prosper, the technological giant could face
[00:09:10] indemnities of 1.4 trillion
[00:09:12] dollars, almost the same as the company's current value in
[00:09:16] the markets.
[00:09:19] In Russia, an exemplary punishment against one of the leaders of the pacifist
[00:09:23] opposition. The justice system has sentenced the vice-president of the party called
[00:09:26] Yabloko to 11 years in prison for publicly calling for a ceasefire,
[00:09:30] all this just a month before the legislative elections in
[00:09:34] the country. The Kremlin is sending a message to
[00:09:38] opposition politicians who defend
[00:09:41] peace.
[00:10:20] After not being allowed to run, it is now clear that
[00:10:24] criticizing the war during this campaign is a red
[00:10:27] line. The regime is being implacable, even against
[00:10:31] those Communist Party politicians, tolerated by the regime,
[00:10:34] who criticized the invasion of Ukraine and then retracted,
[00:10:37] like deputy Mikhail Matveyev, who has now
[00:10:41] been excluded from the lists and has asked for clemency from
[00:10:43] Putin.
[00:10:49] The madness that has begun to spread from Pandora's box
[00:10:52] across the country.
[00:10:55] demonstrates these cases is that the Kremlin no longer strives to
[00:10:58] present these elections as a democratic process. It does not matter
[00:11:02] if the pretexts for eliminating rivals are absurd, the important thing is
[00:11:06] to make it clear that war is now a matter of state and that
[00:11:09] anyone who opposes it is
[00:11:19] Wildberries, the large Russian e-commerce platform,
[00:11:23] as they did on Sunday and also in recent weeks.
[00:11:26] This morning, Ukrainian forces reportedly struck
[00:11:30] again at the warehouse of this company known as
[00:11:33] the Russian Amazon, with a drone attack according to the
[00:11:37] governor. The offensive comes just two days after
[00:11:40] another Ukrainian attack caused a fire in one
[00:11:44] of the main warehouses of the largest e-commerce company in Russia,
[00:11:48] which happened in
[00:11:49] Podilsk.
[00:11:57] Last night, many towns, especially on the coast, once again experienced
[00:12:00] a torrid night, meaning temperatures did not drop below 25 degrees. In Barcelona,
[00:12:04] the weather station of Canbruxa, in Les Corts, has
[00:12:07] broken its record and has already registered 53 torrid
[00:12:11] nights this summer.
[00:12:14] Another night of intense heat, already 53 nights this summer
[00:12:18] where the thermometers do not drop below 25 degrees. A new record for
[00:12:22] what are known as torrid nights in the 40 years that the
[00:12:25] Cambruxa Meteorological Station in Barcelona records
[00:12:28] temperatures. Never in our lives had we turned on the air
[00:12:31] conditioning at night and now we have been doing it since it started
[00:12:35] in mid-July with the air conditioning and sometimes we even turn on the
[00:12:39] fan. Among those who cannot sleep, some go out into the street in
[00:12:42] a desperate search for any solution to lower the temperature a few degrees. The
[00:12:46] extreme high heat, you don't know
[00:12:49] where you're going, if you get up you get up a bit bad, sleep comes a
[00:12:53] bit late because yesterday it was.
[00:12:55] terrible, I had to come here, wet my feet,
[00:12:59] wet my arms, put my head, my face or my
[00:13:02] neck, to cool myself down because otherwise, the
[00:13:06] heat, moreover, can be a problem among the most vulnerable,
[00:13:09] especially these hot nights. At night it's harder for her to sleep, because in the
[00:13:13] end the sheets stick to her from so much heat and of course you can't
[00:13:17] have the air conditioning on all night with
[00:13:21] do her much good, so well try. The
[00:13:27] water bottle has become essential to get through
[00:13:30] these sweaty nights. Much heat
[00:13:33] and I have no air conditioning, only
[00:13:36] the window. I can never sleep,
[00:13:39] that's why I sweat a lot, that's it. Beyond the
[00:13:42] torrid nights there are the sweltering nights, which is when the thermometer no
[00:13:46] longer drops below 30 degrees. Now the debate is open among experts to
[00:13:50] decide what to call the nights when temperatures do
[00:14:03] man dead in the passenger seat of an overturned car in the Urgell
[00:14:06] Canal in Golmés. This happened in the town of Golmés. They
[00:14:10] arrested the driver for negligent homicide, who fled the scene and tested
[00:14:13] positive for alcohol. The accident occurred on
[00:14:16] Sunday evening when the Mossos d'Esquadra arrived at the scene,
[00:14:20] removed the car from the canal and confirmed that there was a
[00:14:24] dead person inside. In the co-pilot seat and that the driver's door
[00:14:27] was ajar, but with no one else
[00:14:30] inside.
[00:14:34] In another canal, the Cap de Pinyana canal in Lleida,
[00:14:37] specialized units of the firefighters and also the Mossos have recovered the body
[00:14:41] of a person pending identification. Everything suggests that they
[00:14:45] accidentally fell into Torreferrera and the strong current
[00:14:48] dragged them about 10 km downstream.
[00:14:51] Still in Lleida, the local police and
[00:14:55] the Mossos d'Esquadra have reinforced patrols to prevent more
[00:14:58] clashes involving minors. The deployment
[00:15:02] is being carried out following the weekend riots that have left five
[00:15:05] arrested, four of whom are minors, and four
[00:15:08] injured, one of them with a knife wound to the back. For this reason,
[00:15:12] the officers will maintain the operation for a few days in the park area
[00:15:16] over the tracks, where the fight took place, and also in the neighborhoods of
[00:15:20] Balàfia and Clot de les Granotes.
[00:15:23] The investigation remains open, but the mayor of
[00:15:26] Lleida has explained that the origin would be disputes between a group of young people
[00:15:30] of different nationalities, who for
[00:15:33] weeks have been robbing Tunisian and
[00:15:36] Hindu
[00:15:38] merchants.
[00:15:42] Since April, the Mobile Citizen Service Offices have made
[00:15:45] more than a thousand visits. There are five
[00:15:47] vans that stop in more than 200 small municipalities throughout
[00:15:51] Catalonia, where citizens receive information, carry out procedures,
[00:15:55] and also receive personalized support. They visit
[00:15:58] each town once a month, and users rate the service with a
[00:16:01] 4.9 out of 5. The objective is to bring
[00:16:04] the administration closer to citizens who live in remote places, away from
[00:16:08] the Generalitat's citizen service offices.
[00:16:12] This is allowing citizen services to reach municipalities
[00:16:16] like Vilaller and Montgai directly in the town square to process
[00:16:19] what? Well, mainly dependency aid, with
[00:16:22] recognitions, right? Of signature certificates, digital
[00:16:25] signature, to be able to process a subsidy, whether from the department of
[00:16:29] agriculture or the department of social rights, and therefore
[00:16:33] we can bring the administration closer to
[00:16:35] the citizens.
[00:16:41] Today is Tuesday, August 18th. It will be another day with intense
[00:16:44] heat and mugginess on the coast. The highest maximum temperatures could
[00:16:48] reach 40 degrees.
[00:16:52] Today we explain how the situation is in Ceuta, where the new spaces to
[00:16:55] welcome migrants who are currently on the beaches have already begun to be
[00:16:58] installed. It is expected that these spaces will have
[00:17:02] 1500 places.
[00:17:05] We have told you about Donald Trump's threats to Oman, if it makes a deal with Iran
[00:17:09] about any agreement regarding the Strait
[00:17:11] of Hormuz.
[00:17:14] And next, we will know the purpose of Shakira's visit to one of the areas
[00:17:18] affected by the earthquake in
[00:17:45] la Espriella, announced this morning that the reconstruction of the areas
[00:17:49] affected by the earthquake on August 10th will cost
[00:17:52] at least 30 billion pesos, which is equivalent to about
[00:17:56] 8.2 billion euros, and precisely for this reconstruction,
[00:18:00] Shakira will contribute her bit. The Colombian singer announced
[00:18:04] this Monday that she will rebuild the Technological University,
[00:18:08] which was badly damaged by the earthquake, and that together with the
[00:18:12] Howard G. Buffett Foundation, she will promote the
[00:18:15] construction of 10 new schools in the
[00:18:18] department.
[00:18:22] The death of Cambridge professor Jason Arday has
[00:18:25] rekindled the cultural war at the British University.
[00:18:29] Yesterday, hundreds of demonstrators gathered on the side of the National Gallery in
[00:18:33] Trafalgar Square in London to hold a
[00:18:36] vigil in memory of the professor and also to demand a public
[00:18:39] investigation into what they consider a campaign of excessive
[00:18:43] racism that ended his life. Arday had
[00:18:46] resigned just a week earlier as professor of
[00:18:50] education at the University of Cambridge, after
[00:18:54] being accused of plagiarism and also having his entire
[00:18:57] professional career questioned. His
[00:19:00] family had reported that the professor was a victim of a
[00:19:04] harassment campaign.
[00:19:12] And this hour is time to take a look at what the covers of the written press
[00:19:16] say this Tuesday, August 18th. Let's start with La
[00:19:19] Vanguardia, which focuses on technology in the economy and
[00:19:22] says that Europeans risk losing 440,000
[00:19:25] million if the artificial intelligence bubble burst. In addition,
[00:19:29] this newspaper also features on its cover this photograph where you can see the
[00:19:33] player Rodrigo Hernández, known as Rodri, who landed yesterday at El
[00:19:37] Prat Airport. and today he will be presented as a new Barça player.
[00:19:40] We continue with the newspaper Ara, which focuses on the humanitarian crisis and explains that
[00:19:44] the State will enable 1500 places for migrants in
[00:19:48] Ceuta. Still on the same line, El Periódico assures that the
[00:19:51] government is enabling centers for migrants due to criticism from
[00:19:55] Ceuta. It also highlights Rodri's first statements today at
[00:19:58] El Prat airport, he said literally: we want the
[00:20:01] Champions League. El Punt today opts for a completely
[00:20:05] different cover and talks about the road.
[00:20:08] In the regional press, Diari Al Segre explains that the Mossos
[00:20:12] have arrested a 34-year-old man after finding a body inside
[00:20:16] his car in the Canal d'Urgell in Golmés, and Regió
[00:20:19] 7 assures that animals also suffer from the heat. In fact, it explains that
[00:20:23] veterinarians from Central Catalonia talk about the problems
[00:20:26] they can have and give advice to cat owners and
[00:20:30] dog owners. In the Spanish
[00:20:33] the migratory crisis in Ceuta, assuring that the struggle for
[00:20:36] welcoming aggravates the clash between the government and the Popular Party.
[00:20:40] We finish with El Mundo, which says that the government will take care of the migrants after
[00:20:44] they have been stranded for 18
[00:20:45] days.
[00:22:20] offers this space.
[00:27:26] 26 degrees Celsius and with these cloud intervals. In fact, there has been a bit of
[00:27:30] Tramontana wind, which has caused the nighttime temperature
[00:27:33] to rise. A situation with some cloud intervals
[00:27:37] in the city of Tarragona with these 26 degrees Celsius.
[00:27:40] actual, a very warm morning,
[00:27:44] with temperatures that already indicate that today will once again be a
[00:27:47] hot day, a day of moderate heat, a day of heat where the
[00:27:50] maximum temperatures could once again reach 40 degrees in some parts of the western counties
[00:27:55] Eh, very good day, let's talk about this situation
[00:27:59] that seems to be coming to an end at the end of the week. Because
[00:28:02] instability will arrive, especially a drop in temperatures, in fact,
[00:28:06] yesterday was again a day with an afternoon, especially with showers that
[00:28:10] again brought some hail in some parts of the Osona region, now
[00:28:14] these cloudy intervals are visible in coastal areas,
[00:28:17] the minimum temperatures have once again been very high, these values reaching
[00:28:21] 27 in Mas9, 28 in
[00:28:24] la Ràpita and the lowest in the Pyrenees with these values reaching
[00:28:28] up to 12 eh yesterday. A sunny day, these cloudy intervals in the...
[00:28:32] areas of Barcelona and Girona, the temperature with
[00:28:35] this tendency to rise, this tramuntana and this maestral that will gradually
[00:28:38] lose intensity. In the afternoon these north winds will have practically
[00:28:42] disappeared, there will be sun, but with clouds that
[00:28:46] will again be present in the north and northeast, we would not rule out some
[00:28:49] small, some drizzle or some small shower during the afternoon
[00:28:53] or evening today, in weather that will be hot,
[00:28:57] with maximums that will exceed 38 39
[00:29:00] degrees in the west they could reach... in some points and in general
[00:29:04] they will be above, as you can see, 30, 34, 35, and even
[00:29:08] some 36 in a good part of the country. A sunny day, a day with
[00:29:11] some clouds, but very little and with temperatures that
[00:29:15] will be high, also with maximum values above
[00:29:18] 30 and in particular in Palma, for example, these
[00:29:22] 35 degrees maximum temperature. The forecast advance tells us
[00:29:25] that on Wednesday there will already be some showers, especially in the afternoon in areas of the Pyrenees
[00:29:29] and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, even Sunday. The showers, the
[00:29:33] thunderstorms gain ground attention because the temperature drops from
