[00:00:00] routes. They do so based
[00:00:02] These data come as the cost of
[00:00:03] most requested procedures through
[00:00:12] The German Interior Minister, accompanied by The Spanish government recognizes that
[00:00:15] they will need more temporary reception places in Ceuta, the day after
[00:00:19] the threat from President Sautí Dad executive to the
[00:00:21] justice system. 500 migrants have requested asylum, and the
[00:00:25] ministry has raised the number of minors to over
[00:00:28] 2,100.
[00:00:32] The urgent government measures to reduce waiting lists for the dependency law
[00:00:35] are still not being felt four months
[00:00:38] later. Dependency is a right, it is not a
[00:00:41] matter of charity, and the equality of features must be throughout
[00:00:45] Spanish territory, as the complaint from the Assumpta
[00:00:49] Serna actress on social media has made clear. In March, nearly 130,000
[00:00:53] people were waiting to receive
[00:00:54] assistance.
[00:00:58] The trial of tech giant Meta begins. Around thirty
[00:01:02] US states accuse the company of generating addiction in children
[00:01:06] and adolescents with its Instagram and
[00:01:08] Facebook applications. They are demanding 1.4 trillion
[00:01:12] dollars in compensation and changes to these
[00:01:14] apps.
[00:01:17] And we'll find out what happens when a public holiday falls on a Saturday, like last August 15th.
[00:01:21] We will explain what the unions say, but we can already tell you that
[00:01:25] many collective agreements already include the worker's right to
[00:01:28] compensation.
[00:02:07] is from Monday to
[00:02:13] Good afternoon, the humanitarian crisis in Ceuta is worsening as the days
[00:02:17] come mainly from pass. Today, the Spanish government has once again increased the number of registered minors
[00:02:21] to 2,168,
[00:02:23] at the same time recognizing that the temporary reception places announced yesterday
[00:02:27] will already be insufficient. And all this
[00:02:30] happening amidst the political squabble over the management of this
[00:02:33] crisis.
[00:02:37] Yes, the Spanish government doesn't want to get its fingers burned
[00:02:41] and it doesn't specify how many migrants are still in Ceuta, but it already
[00:02:45] admits that the 1,500 places created yesterday to
[00:02:48] accommodate them will be insufficient. Therefore, today Minister Elma Said said that she was open
[00:02:52] to creating more places,
[00:02:55] taking into account that 4,000 food kits are distributed every day and
[00:02:59] that up to half a thousand people have already requested
[00:03:02] asylum. Minister Saiz is once again in a head-on
[00:03:06] collision with the Popular Party,
[00:03:09] the World Health Organization which accuses her of putting spokes in the wheels and even of giving orders to the government of Ceuta not to
[00:03:12] collaborate with the executive of Pedro Sánchez. This comes after
[00:03:16] yesterday, let's remember, President tightened the tone with that
[00:03:19] ultimatum to resolve the crisis. Saiz says that these
[00:03:23] statements do not help and goes even further, saying that they will be very
[00:03:27] vigilant so that no entity that works with migrants sees
[00:03:30] its subsidies cut. As for the Popular Party, there is a double reaction.
[00:03:33] On the one hand, from the ground, from Ceuta,
[00:03:37] eh, the vice secretary Cuca Gamarra
[00:03:40] of exploding hits back, accusing the Spanish government of turning its back on
[00:03:43] Spaniards, while the party leader Alberto Núñez Feijó, who had an
[00:03:47] event in Galicia today, has tiptoed around this migratory
[00:03:51] crisis.
[00:03:55] municipalities have private or which complicates, well, that which for me
[00:03:59] The CGT, the majority union of is so important, which is the
[00:04:02] collaboration between administrations
[00:04:04] suitcases have been grounded since and in the matter of spaces
[00:04:06] 1,200 people across it is absolutely essential, a government, in my opinion,
[00:04:10] absent, inert
[00:04:13] and indifferent to the interests, the
[00:04:16] security, the integrity, the sovereignty
[00:04:20] of the
[00:04:21] Spaniards.
[00:04:24] Ceuta is the migratory route that has grown the most this year across
[00:04:27] the entire state, despite the fact that the Spanish government... has not yet counted the
[00:04:31] 5,000 people who would have stayed after the entry on
[00:04:34] July 30. According to ministry data, from the beginning
[00:04:38] of the year until August 15, 5,000 people
[00:04:41] in an irregular situation have arrived in Ceuta, triple that of
[00:04:45] last year, and not counting, as we said, those from the last
[00:04:48] entry. One of the reasons for this increase is that the other route
[00:04:51] for migrants arriving from Africa,
[00:04:55] the most important Russian e-commerce the Canary Islands, has decreased this year, with around 5,000
[00:04:58] people arriving. And if we look
[00:05:00] at the Balearic Islands route, it is a
[00:05:03] Catalonia manage water publicly, route that is also growing, with 4,400 people arriving.
[00:05:06] In the end, there are and will continue to be
[00:05:10] entered the airspace of migrants, what changes are the
[00:05:11] debt is increasing. The state on the danger, border
[00:05:14] control, or agreements between
[00:05:16] governments.
[00:05:19] When one migratory route closes, another always opens, and that is why the
[00:05:23] flows and entry routes into Spain are constantly changing.
[00:05:26] Currently, there are five active ones: the Algerian route, which goes from Algeria to the
[00:05:30] Balearic Islands, the Atlantic route to the Canary Islands, the land route to
[00:05:34] Ceuta or Melilla, the Strait route and the Boran route. Migratory
[00:05:38] routes are changing because of the agreements of the European
[00:05:41] Union. The policy of outsourcing borders with various countries, such as
[00:05:45] Spain with Mauritania, Frontex with Libya, the
[00:05:49] European Union with Turkey, well,
[00:05:52] these routes, which are, let's say, the traditional ones, are much more
[00:05:55] restricted, and people, as they continue to flee
[00:05:59] their countries of origin, well, they look for other ways to reach
[00:06:03] Europe. According to data from the Ministry of Interior, the route to the
[00:06:06] Canary Islands is the one that has decreased the most, almost
[00:06:09] 60% fewer people have taken this route this year
[00:06:13] compared to 2025, it is the most dangerous one, the one that records the most
[00:06:16] deaths. Until now, people left, especially from
[00:06:20] Mauritania, but controls at the origin have increased, and now they often have
[00:06:24] to do it from Gambia, many more kilometers
[00:06:26] away.
[00:06:28] very hard, in which a very high percentage of people
[00:06:32] die or many boats
[00:06:35] disappear without leaving a trace and without us even being able to
[00:06:38] record those people who try to migrate. The route that has grown the most is
[00:06:42] that of Ceuta with 200% more entries. It is estimated that
[00:06:46] this year more than 5,500 people have already arrived, not
[00:06:49] counting the more than 5,000 from these last few days. The
[00:06:52] majority flee from armed conflicts such as that in
[00:06:55] Sudan.
[00:07:01] Food kits that are distributed every day. The other route that has increased
[00:07:05] is the one to the Balearic Islands, which now matches the figures for the
[00:07:08] Canary Islands, about 4,500 people this
[00:07:11] year. less people in the
[00:07:14] Canary Islands and more people in Ceuta and the Balearic Islands, is a combination
[00:07:18] of many factors such as border controls, meteorology,
[00:07:22] and human trafficking networks that
[00:07:25] find different ways to get there. These are people who
[00:07:30] Afghanistan, Chad or
[00:07:31] Somalia.
[00:07:38] this is about humor for the elderly in Catalonia,
[00:07:41] the protocol. of the Department of Social Rights and Inclusion of the Generalitat de
[00:07:45] Catalunya is neither humane nor
[00:07:47] just. The public exposure of actress
[00:07:50] Assumpta Serna when denouncing the difficulties she is having to get
[00:07:54] has served to put
[00:07:58] the spotlight again on a reality that affects thousands of families across
[00:08:02] Catalonia. And the dependency law continues to be an pending issue
[00:08:05] for the government despite the impetus of the care plan approved
[00:08:09] last spring. The waiting times are not met, and the
[00:08:12] amounts are insufficient, and last March almost 130,000
[00:08:16] people were waiting to receive
[00:08:18] assistance.
[00:08:21] in just five days, the reels published by the Catalan actress Sumta Cerna have gone
[00:08:24] viral. One and a half million views across all networks
[00:08:28] and thousands of likes and comments. She denounces the malfunction
[00:08:31] of the dependency system based on her personal experience
[00:08:35] accompanying first her father and now her centenarian mother. Neither
[00:08:38] human nor just. A desperate cry that initially only...
[00:08:42] not to feel alone. I have now changed my goal seeing
[00:08:46] all that there is, you know, for me this
[00:08:49] was an idea, well,
[00:08:53] what was happening to me, then it became an awareness that
[00:08:57] , well, that I had to talk about it with my
[00:09:00] inner circle, when I exposed it, and I am
[00:09:03] receiving these testimonies, of course, one cannot
[00:09:07] stay alone, this will be our
[00:09:10] problem, today or tomorrow. Yours,
[00:09:13] mine. That's why she has created a form to collect more
[00:09:16] testimonies. More than
[00:09:19] the state have already responded to her. And this has led to the creation of the platform
[00:09:23] deurada, which seeks adhesions to demand a state pact for
[00:09:26] dependency, with more investment, less
[00:09:29] bureaucracy, more quality controls and more training and pay for
[00:09:33] caregivers. An initiative that today they have presented to the Department
[00:09:36] of Social Rights. We are not people who
[00:09:40] want to dedicate ourselves to politics. nor support
[00:09:43] any party or government, it has to be a transversal issue, a matter of rights,
[00:09:47] of dignity, of social justice, the Generalitat recognizes the problem, but
[00:09:51] reminds that the care plan has been put in place to speed up assessments
[00:09:54] and degree revisions, eliminating administrative obstacles,
[00:09:58] eh, we will be able to say calmly that this from September, that this is
[00:10:02] being a reality, that the system is working, that the measures
[00:10:06] that we have put in place are yielding results, we will notice a
[00:10:09] global improvement, surely, from then on.
[00:10:15] The ultimate goal will be to complete all procedures in just two
[00:10:18] months, while currently, the average waiting time exceeds
[00:10:21] one year.
[00:10:25] The declaration of dependency status is one of the
[00:10:28] the Generalitat's virtual office. Since the video call
[00:10:31] assistance service was launched last October, more than 3,500
[00:10:35] procedures have been carried out, especially for stable partner registration,
[00:10:39] but also for disability degree and dependency status. In addition, mobile
[00:10:43] citizen service offices have received more than
[00:10:46] 1,100 visits in some 200 small municipalities throughout
[00:10:49] the country since April. There are five vans where citizens
[00:10:53] receive information or can carry out
[00:10:55] some procedures.
[00:10:57] This is allowing that in municipalities
[00:10:59] like Vila i Llera, or
[00:11:03] municipalities like Montgai, citizen attention reaches the town
[00:11:06] square directly to process what? Mainly dependency
[00:11:10] aid, with acknowledgments of digital
[00:11:13] signature certificates to be able to process a
[00:11:16] subsidy, whether from the department of agriculture or the department of social rights,
[00:11:19] and therefore we can bring the administration closer to the citizens.
[00:11:22] And amidst the housing crisis, today, an
[00:11:26] alert from developers says that in three out of every
[00:11:30] four municipalities in the metropolitan area, no protected housing has been started
[00:11:33] throughout 2025. In a
[00:11:37] context of strong housing demand, especially for official protection,
[00:11:40] the Association of Promoters of Catalonia warns that since 2020,
[00:11:43] more than half of the municipalities in this area have not built protected
[00:11:47] housing. They warn that there is a great distance between the need
[00:11:50] for social housing and the capacity to generate new supply at
[00:11:54] cost. And for this reason, they urge the administration to strengthen
[00:11:58] construction
[00:11:59] capacity.
[00:12:02] This year, the August 15th holiday has fallen on a Saturday, and the
[00:12:06] question arises whether we lose it or the company has to give it back to us.
[00:12:09] Several rulings recognize the right of workers to
[00:12:12] compensate it, but it is not automatic for everyone. We need to check
[00:12:16] what our collective agreement says and the annual labor calendar of each
[00:12:19] worker.
[00:12:22] Last Saturday was August 15th, a holiday. Some
[00:12:25] workers were on vacation, and others were on
[00:12:29] a day off, because their working day
[00:12:32] Friday, but not all of them have lost this holiday.
[00:12:35] Several rulings now recognize the right of workers to
[00:12:39] enjoy a compensatory day off if the holiday
[00:12:42] falls on a Saturday. There are different rulings, both
[00:12:46] from the National Court and the Supreme Court, which tell us
[00:12:49] that this holiday that was lost, which the majority of
[00:12:53] workers lost, is now starting to side with the
[00:12:56] trade unions that they should not be lost. A good part of
[00:13:00] companies are already compensating for holidays, as stipulated in the
[00:13:04] collective agreements of various sectors. We must not confuse
[00:13:08] holidays with weekly rest,
[00:13:12] they are two completely different things. Where there is
[00:13:15] a negotiated labor calendar
[00:13:18] agreed upon or clear at the beginning of the year, there should be no
[00:13:22] problem. It is in these more precarious sectors
[00:13:26] that it is not complied with. It normally coincides a lot with commerce where you work
[00:13:30] Saturdays and Sundays, it coincides a lot with the
[00:13:33] telemarketing service, which is 24 hours a day. In case the company
[00:13:36] does not comply, unions and labor lawyers recommend
[00:13:40] reporting it. I logically advise contacting a
[00:13:44] union advisor, sending a written notification
[00:13:47] with a receipt to the company, stating that my working hours
[00:13:51] are unbalanced by this. Above all,
[00:13:55] you need to check what your collective agreement says, and
[00:13:58] if there's no agreement, well, in the end,
[00:14:01] these things should be claimed
[00:14:04] through inspection or lawsuit. By the way, the next
[00:14:08] holiday that falls on a weekend is November 1st, which falls on
[00:14:12] a Sunday.
[00:14:14] Today marks 15 days since the ground staff of Grand Force went on strike,
[00:14:18] and this continues to be noticeable at
[00:14:20] El Prat airport.
[00:14:24] the company, estimates that nearly 270 flights and some 6,000
[00:14:29] the beginning of this indefinite strike. The most affected flights are those connecting
[00:14:33] Barcelona with German cities, operated by
[00:14:36] Lufthansa, those to Madrid and Palma de Mallorca, and those to Rome
[00:14:39] (by Qatar Airways). According to union sources, since the end of July, there have
[00:14:43] been no advances or formal meetings between the parties. Workers
[00:14:47] demand improvements in safety and occupational health, with more staff,
[00:14:50] better trained and fewer rotations.
[00:14:55] In June, Catalonia imported 10% more than a year ago and
[00:14:58] bought goods from abroad for more than 10,600 million
[00:15:02] euros. Exports almost reached 9,300 million
[00:15:06] euros, almost 3% more than a year ago.
[00:15:09] Catalonia sells abroad mainly chemical products, capital goods and
[00:15:13] food, but imports grew more and the trade balance
[00:15:16] ended up in negative.
[00:15:19] The state's public debt reached a new record in June, climbing
[00:15:23] to 1.75 trillion euros. However, the good
[00:15:27] performance of the Spanish economy led to a reduction in its weight on the gross
[00:15:31] domestic product because the economy is growing faster than the rate at which
[00:15:36] administration is the most indebted.
[00:15:40] public debt of the main economies is reaching
[00:15:43] highs not seen since the 2008 crisis.
[00:15:46] 2008.
[00:15:50] After a halt in judicial activity in cases affecting the PSOE,
[00:15:54] today the former Chief of Staff of Pedro Sánchez, Juan Manuel
[00:15:58] Serrano, appeared before the National Court. He had been summoned by the
[00:16:01] judge in the Leire Díez case, Santiago Pedraz. The
[00:16:04] magistrate has ordered a new cloning of Serrano's phone after
[00:16:08] his defense rejected, due to lack of procedural guarantees, the
[00:16:12] cloning already carried out by the Civil Guard in July. The
[00:16:16] police link Serrano with Leire Díez both in the alleged collection of
[00:16:19] illegal commissions and in the alleged attempts to destabilize judicial
[00:16:23] cases against the
[00:16:24] PSOE.
[00:16:29] The President of Parliament has assured that the independence unit will not
[00:16:33] be achieved hand in hand with xenophobic parties. He said this at a
[00:16:36] public event. The Catalan Summer University, where the former president
[00:16:40] of Òmnium Cultural, Muriel Casals, who died 10
[00:16:43] years ago, was remembered in an event with the also former president of the ANC, Carme
[00:16:47] Forcadell, and the current president of Òmnium, Xavier Antich. They have
[00:16:50] recalled Muriel Casals' conciliatory character and the search for consensus
[00:16:54] around the independence unit, an objective that,
[00:16:57] according to Josep Rull, will not be achieved with xenophobic formations that
[00:17:01] want to leave aside a part of
[00:17:03] Catalans.
[00:17:07] which is the ability to listen to diverse sensibilities to
[00:17:10] build great consensuses, which is when this country has
[00:17:14] managed to advance and articulate great
[00:17:17] majorities with this ambition of leaving no one
[00:17:20] behind, those who propose an
[00:17:23] ethnicist approach, simply
[00:17:26] make the nation unviable, the independence project
[00:17:29] unviable.
[00:17:31] This morning, Cambrils remembered the victims of the jihadist attacks of
[00:17:35] nine years ago with an act at
[00:17:37] the Nautical Club. This was the spot where the terrorists ran over
[00:17:41] pedestrians and injured five people. One of them, seriously, was
[00:17:44] Josep Maria Rovira, an attendee at the event, who explained that he remembers
[00:17:47] nothing of the events themselves or the days leading up to them.
[00:17:51] At 87 years old, he says he continues to walk in the same place with
[00:17:54] complete normality. The mayor, Oliver Cléin,
[00:17:58] read a manifesto condemning violence.
[00:18:01] Today, the trial
[00:18:12] against Meta, the conglomerate that controls Facebook and Instagram, begins in
[00:18:15] California. About thirty US states have
[00:18:19] joined forces to accuse the tech giant of fostering an addictive use of social
[00:18:23] networks among young people, demanding
[00:18:27] 1.4 trillion dollars in compensation and, above all,
[00:18:30] changes in the operation of these platforms.
[00:18:33] The executive director of Meta faces today the most important trial
[00:18:37] in the company's history. This Federal Court in California must
[00:18:41] resolve the lawsuit filed by 29 US states
[00:18:45] that accuse Meta's social networks of being deliberately
[00:18:48] addictive for children and adolescents. The attorneys general
[00:18:52] assure that both Instagram and Facebook expressly
[00:18:55] designed various tools to hook minors to the
[00:18:58] platforms, yet, outwardly they deceived families to
[00:19:02] minimize their impact. This is a known
[00:19:05] argument in historical litigation against large American companies.
[00:19:09] It was successfully used in the 90s in macro lawsuits
[00:19:13] against tobacco companies and just a few years ago against manufacturers of
[00:19:16] opioid medicines. We have
[00:19:19] laws written that
[00:19:23] make it so that if you as a company know about a particular
[00:19:27] risk and the public does not know about that, and
[00:19:30] you continue to sell to the public without disclosing that
[00:19:34] information, then you could be held liable for
[00:19:39] that, and that's what's happening. The plaintiffs are demanding unprecedented
[00:19:43] compensation of almost 1.5 trillion dollars, a figure that, if
[00:19:46] confirmed, would jeopardize Meta's continuity. Experts,
[00:19:50] however, rule out such an astronomical fine. What this trial
[00:19:53] could entail is a substantial change in the operation of these
[00:19:56] platforms, which would force the company to make them
[00:20:00] safer for younger users.
[00:20:03] At least 10 dead and 17 injured
[00:20:05] this morning in a new Russian bombardment against
[00:20:07] the Ukrainian region of Kharkiv in the northeast of the country. Local
[00:20:11] authorities explain that the missiles hit a residential area
[00:20:15] surrounded by shops and a post
[00:20:18] office. This attack comes after another night of massive
[00:20:22] drone launches by Ukraine against the Moscow region. Russian
[00:20:25] authorities have counted more than 600 drones, some of
[00:20:29] which hit another warehouse of
[00:20:32] company and at least three people were injured.
[00:20:36] And in Germany, the threat of drones is also
[00:20:41] being taken more and more seriously. A few days
[00:20:44] ago, one of these devices
[00:20:48] AISP airport. And today, the Minister of the Interior has inaugurated a
[00:20:52] technological security center specialized in drones, with
[00:20:55] the aim of reinforcing the response to future
[00:20:58] threats.
[00:21:02] the Minister of Research and Science, inaugurated this morning a new technology
[00:21:05] center for research into drone-related security. It is necessary
[00:21:08] to confront the threat of unmanned aircraft; this is the price the
[00:21:11] Federal Republic pays for its support for Ukraine. This is how the
[00:21:15] Interior Minister sees it, who has long been painting a scenario in which attacks from
[00:21:19] Russia, whether through hackers or social media, are
[00:21:22] constant.
[00:21:24] Especially as the Federal Republic
[00:21:28] of Germany, we are also
[00:21:32] because we are a central
[00:21:35] component,
[00:21:42] the inauguration of the research center is also the response to the failed attack at the
[00:21:45] beginning of the month in Leipzig when a homemade drone loaded
[00:21:48] with explosives impacted the wing of a Ukrainian
[00:21:52] cargo plane carrying weapons. Nothing happened, almost by
[00:21:55] chance. Meanwhile, the police continue to investigate.
[00:21:59] DNA remains were found, but from the government, the main thesis is Russian
[00:22:02] involvement. Some claim that Germany is unprotected
[00:22:06] against the possibility of a drone attack, but what country isn't today?
[00:22:10] In fact, neither Ukrainians nor Russians, who are among the most knowledgeable, are capable
[00:22:13] of completely dispelling this threat. It is, however, a field of
[00:22:17] business with a lot of ... and
[00:22:20] Germany, in full military escalation, has recognized this. In
[00:22:24] fact, that's why it's being investigated. Jordi Ragas, TV3,
[00:22:27] Berlin. The Loria Civil War is starting to take
[00:22:30] its toll on the Trump administration. The latest polls confirm that he now only
[00:22:34] has the support of one in three
[00:22:36] Americans.
[00:22:39] Donald Trump's popularity has fallen to 33%, the lowest level of
[00:22:43] his presidency, equal to the worst point of his
[00:22:47] first term. That's two points less than in July. Trump's popularity
[00:22:51] plummeted at the beginning of the year when he ordered the
[00:22:54] bombing of Iran, which drove up gasoline prices,
[00:22:57] and according to the latest Reuters / Ipsos poll,
[00:23:00] 80% of Americans think the
[00:23:03] war will be long. Bad news for Republicans with less than
[00:23:07] three months until the midterm elections, in which they could
[00:23:11] lose Congress.
[00:23:12] Shakira's visit to the areas affected
[00:23:16] by the earthquake in Colombia 8 years ago has unleashed
[00:23:20] genuine madness. The Colombian singer has announced that she will rebuild the Technological
[00:23:23] University of Chocó and that she will build 10 new schools
[00:23:27] together with American philanthropist Howard Buffett, son
[00:23:30] of Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world. Shakira has called
[00:23:34] for international support. President Abelardo de la Espriella
[00:23:38] has estimated the cost of reconstruction at 8 billion
[00:23:41] euros and announced aid for the victims. The provisional
[00:23:44] balance is 289 dead and
[00:23:47] 143 missing. The Ebola epidemic
[00:23:53] in the Democratic Republic of Congo is far from being under control. The head of
[00:23:59] warns of the high risk of international spread. The Emergency
[00:24:02] Committee on Ebola, meeting in Geneva, warns that
[00:24:06] if three months ago the epidemic already posed a significant danger,
[00:24:10] since then the virus has
[00:24:13] spread rapidly. Since Sunday, it is the second most
[00:24:17] lethal outbreak in the world and the worst in the Democratic Republic of
[00:24:20] Congo.
[00:24:28] In Catalonia, more than half of the municipalities manage a service as basic as
[00:24:31] the water that reaches our homes publicly. All
[00:24:35] of these are marked in orange on the map. As
[00:24:39] you can see, they are in the less populated areas of Catalonia, the
[00:24:42] remaining 418
[00:24:45] public-private water management. These are in fact
[00:24:48] the areas with more inhabitants. And therefore, where there is more business to be done. Faced with
[00:24:52] this reality, more and more municipalities are taking the step to recover the
[00:24:56] public management of water. The latest has been El Pont
[00:24:59] d'Armentera, in Alt Camp.
[00:25:02] The residents of El Pont d'Armentera are installing water meters and recovering the
[00:25:06] municipal management of this service. From Sorea it went
[00:25:09] to Aveòlia and the investments at the level of
[00:25:13] the water network and sewer network, well, they
[00:25:16] were not evident. The water bill rate will not
[00:25:20] vary much, what is true is, since the
[00:25:23] bills will go to the town hall, then what
[00:25:27] we collect, we will be able to invest in
[00:25:29] the network. They calculate that the collection will be €60,000
[00:25:33] annually. The administrative change, which has caused them a lot of
[00:25:37] bureaucracy, was made at the beginning of July, and with digital
[00:25:40] meters, consumption data goes directly to the office of the
[00:25:44] Tarragona Provincial Council which provides tax collection services to small
[00:25:48] municipalities. 5% of the municipalities in
[00:25:53] but they only represent 20% of the
[00:25:57] population. Private contracting is concentrated mainly on
[00:26:00] the coastal strip. In the last 15 years, some
[00:26:04] fifty municipalities have abandoned external
[00:26:07] contracting. El Pont d'Armentera is the last to join this
[00:26:10] group that is slowly growing. And we are interested
[00:26:14] in water management being in the hands of operators who do not
[00:26:17] depend on invoicing the maximum but the opposite. It must be in
[00:26:21] the hands of managers who want to maximize savings, therefore,
[00:26:23] we consider that the best thing is for
[00:26:27] a resource like water to be managed under an approach of collective
[00:26:31] interest, common interest and. The only way to do this is through public management.

[00:26:39] In Lleida, the residents evacuated due to the fire that burned this building
[00:26:42] on Sunday night have started to enter to collect their
[00:26:46] belongings accompanied by firefighters. They are about thirty
[00:26:49] people, among whom there are nine minors who lived in the affected block,
[00:26:53] but also the one next door, who will not be able to return home until the
[00:26:57] building declared in ruins is demolished. The entry of residents
[00:27:00] has been delayed more than expected due to the excessive smoke that
[00:27:04] still remained inside the building.
[00:27:07] And still in Lleida: the Mossos d'Esquadra arrested seven more people last night
[00:27:11] related to the riots of the weekend in the park
[00:27:15] above the Balàfia and Perdinyes tracks. It was after
[00:27:19] the Pakistani community demonstrated against the events. To
[00:27:22] avoid new riots, the police had activated a joint
[00:27:26] operation with the urban guard and it was there where they made the
[00:27:29] arrests. And they also intervened with sticks, irons and some
[00:27:33] bladed weapons. In total, there are already 12 arrests related
[00:27:37] to these
[00:27:37] riots.
[00:27:42] And 7 years later, the judge has concluded that
[00:27:45] the man who killed another in Sils, did so in
[00:27:49] self-defense. For this reason, the case has been archived.
[00:27:55] Station bar where, after a brawl, the victim
[00:27:58] returned to the establishment with a broken bottle in hand. The
[00:28:02] investigated, who was a waiter at the bar, stabbed
[00:28:06] him once. The judge considers that he wanted
[00:28:09] to defend himself.
[00:28:14] A new earthquake of magnitude 4.8 in Granada
[00:28:17] leaves three slightly injured, including a minor.
[00:28:20] The epicenter was in Güevéjar, very close to the
[00:28:24] town of Atarfe, where on Saturday morning the seismic
[00:28:27] episode already began. The movement occurred shortly after
[00:28:31] 7:30 in the morning and was followed by several aftershocks:
[00:28:35] the Alhambra has preventively evacuated the Nasrid
[00:28:38] palaces and the Alcazaba, the Granada metro has reduced its
[00:28:41] speed to 30 km/h, the local police has asked the
[00:28:45] population not to approach buildings due to the risk of
[00:28:48] some elements
[00:28:49] falling.
[00:28:54] and today we will also talk about how Barcelona faces increasingly hot
[00:28:58] nights, and by day an app helps to find the
[00:29:01] coolest routes for walking. The Aiguamolls de l'Empordà
[00:29:04] Natural Park will be expanded, the
[00:29:07] protected area will incorporate five new
[00:29:09] municipalities.
[00:29:29] Another very hot night. And there have been 50 of them, in which the
[00:29:33] thermometers do not drop below 25 degrees this summer, a new record of what
[00:29:37] are known as torrid nights in the 40 years that the meteorological
[00:29:40] station of Cambruxa in Barcelona records the
[00:29:43] temperatures, never in our lives had we turned on the air
[00:29:46] conditioning at night and now we have been since it started, well,
[00:29:50] in mid-July with the air conditioning and sometimes we even put on the
[00:29:54] fan. Among those who cannot sleep, there are those who go out into the street in a desperate
[00:29:58] search for any solution that will lower the heat
[00:30:01] a few degrees. Extreme, you don't know, you don't know where
[00:30:04] you're going, if you get up you get up a little badly, sleep comes a little
[00:30:08] late, because yesterday it was terrible, I
[00:30:11] had to come here, wet my feet, wet my
[00:30:14] arms, put my head, my face or my
[00:30:17] neck to cool
[00:30:21] myself because otherwise, the heat, also can be a problem among
[00:30:25] the most vulnerable, especially these nights with a lot of heat, at night it costs
[00:30:29] her more to sleep because in the end the sheet sticks to her. So much
[00:30:32] heat and, of course, you can't have the air conditioning on all night with her
[00:30:36] because it's not good for her either, so well, trying
[00:30:40] to manage as we can, the water bottle
[00:30:43] has become essential to overcome these nights
[00:30:46] soaked in sweat, a lot of heat and I don't have
[00:30:50] air, only the window, I can never sleep, that's why
[00:30:54] I study a lot and that's it, beyond the
[00:30:57] torrid nights there are the sweltering nights.
