[00:00:13] The European Commission is pressuring the Spanish government over the migrant minors who have entered
[00:00:16] Ceuta, the community executive is delaying their return
[00:00:19] to Morocco in accordance with European law. The Ministry of Childhood
[00:00:23] reacts to the migration and accuses
[00:00:25] Barat pass, it is an area that is already part of
[00:00:26] just. This is the desperate cry of the commission of treating minors like merchandise.
[00:00:30] Donald Trump declares on social media the annexation of the Strait of Hormuz by the United
[00:00:34] States. Lande macaca caduqués the agreement with Iran, the American
[00:00:36] president threatens to control the strait, the Iranian
[00:00:40] government, qualified Trump
[00:00:42] dilutes.
[00:00:45] The trial against the technology company Meta begins, accused of
[00:00:48] deliberately turning Facebook and Instagram into addictive social
[00:00:51] networks for children and young people, causing an increase in cases
[00:00:56] exposing of anxiety, depression, and deaths by suicide among its users.
[00:01:02] The Catalan Summer University pays tribute to Moriel Casals 10 years after her
[00:01:05] death, remembering her dialoguing character, parties and entities
[00:01:09] demand a new impulse for
[00:01:11] 1,200 people from all over independence, but excluding xenophobic
[00:01:36] permits and privatization of
[00:02:00] Juan Tamariz, a master of magic
[00:02:03] and humor, dies at 83. His shows captivated entire
[00:02:06] now represents the best moment of generations and made him one of the most followed and admired magicians
[00:02:10] of all time.
[00:02:24] On the way to the third week, after the massive entry of migrants
[00:02:27] into Ceuta, the pressure on the Spanish government increases from various
[00:02:31] fronts. Sánchez's executive has today numbered 2,168 minors
[00:02:35] message to the other riparian country of who have entered the autonomous city and has recognized that there are not enough places to
[00:02:39] care for them, and precisely today the European
[00:02:41] displaced by the fire in a Lleida building Commission has endorsed the return of these minors to Morocco in accordance with community
[00:02:44] law, and the president of Ceuta has demanded that this return
[00:02:47] be executed immediately, pressure therefore falls on Moncloa Evagrí,
[00:02:51] what does the Spanish
[00:02:52] executive say?
[00:02:55] The Moncloa has gone from a very tough speech stating that all migrants
[00:02:59] would be... expelled, to admitting once the border was secured that it would have
[00:03:03] to take them in, especially if they are minors. Sources from the Ministry
[00:03:06] of Childhood and Youth say that they are totally against
[00:03:10] deporting children and remind that with the law in hand, above
[00:03:14] all there is the interest of the minor. They explain that neither Spanish
[00:03:17] nor European regulations allow returning a
[00:03:20] minor from one day to the next, that a whole process must be followed. The same sources
[00:03:24] insist that the priority is family reunification, if the conditions
[00:03:27] are met, and if not, the minor must be taken in,
[00:03:30] meanwhile, the political squabble over the management
[00:03:33] of the crisis continues, the PP takes advantage of Europe's pressure to
[00:03:37] demand the return of all people who entered
[00:03:40] illegally. The president of Ceuta insists that he will go to court if the
[00:03:43] Spanish government does not resolve the crisis in a month and asks Sánchez's executive
[00:03:47] not to put the same efforts into resolving the migrants'
[00:03:50] files as into providing them with humanitarian
[00:03:53] aid. The Moncloa accuses the president of the autonomous city
[00:03:57] of following Genoa's guidelines to put a spoke
[00:04:00] in the wheel of opening spaces to care for those who are still sleeping rough.
[00:04:04] It is shameful that Europe
[00:04:07] is supporting us and yet our government has abandoned us, it is
[00:04:12] last for days in some parts of shameful, it is unprecedented, it is inadmissible, because that effort that is made in putting up tents
[00:04:16] and and and in setting up provisional camps, is not
[00:04:22] refrigeration. The UN General made in processing the files of return and expulsion of the people who arrived here
[00:04:26] illegally, perhaps
[00:04:28] services have rehoused the rest in hotels in there is a context and an environment.
[00:04:36] crisis, unlike the Trump administration's Mossos d'Esquadra are investigating the causes of
[00:04:44] 19 days after the massive entry of Ceuta, the figures continue to
[00:04:48] would grow by 20% and fluctuate, first of all, those of the unaccompanied minors, who are still in
[00:04:51] the autonomous city, today the Interior has raised the number to
[00:04:55] 2,168 registered, they are children and
[00:04:58] adolescents that the commission.
[00:05:16] The Spanish government has already responded that it will prioritize family
[00:05:19] reunification, but that above all it is necessary to fight for the best
[00:05:22] interests of the minor. The truth is that the European return directive
[00:05:26] requires compliance with certain requirements, it is necessary to contact the country
[00:05:30] of origin to ensure that the child has someone who can
[00:05:33] take care of them and a suitable place to live. The count of adults who are struggling
[00:05:37] in the city is also not exact, some living in
[00:05:40] improvised shacks. There would be about 5,000, half a thousand of
[00:05:44] whom have applied for asylum in Spain. These figures
[00:05:48] overwhelm the capacity to provide care. The Minister of
[00:05:50] Migration admits that the 1,500 extra
[00:05:53] reception places that she announced yesterday may not be
[00:05:56] sufficient.
[00:05:59] The important thing is that immediately 1500 will be
[00:06:02] available but they are, as I announced yesterday, four spaces that in
[00:06:06] total will add up and can accommodate more places.
[00:06:09] The crisis has also collapsed the courts of Ceuta, where
[00:06:13] records of deaths and arrests are accumulating. The General
[00:06:16] Council of the Judiciary today asked to reinforce the duty courts
[00:06:20] and those dealing with violence against women with more magistrates and
[00:06:24] administrative staff. The land bridge expired the agreement between the
[00:06:28] United States and Iran to definitively end the war, negotiations are not
[00:06:31] only frozen, but Donald Trump has made a
[00:06:35] new provocation. He announced today the annexation of the Strait of Hormuz to the
[00:06:39] United States, not with a presidential decree, but in the...
[00:06:42] way, by publishing on his social networks a map, a
[00:06:46] strategic point that is added to the list of coveted territories by
[00:06:50] Trump. After Greenland, the Panama
[00:06:53] Canal, Canada and Venezuela, now it's Hormuz's turn in a new
[00:06:57] outburst, Donald Trump already announced on Friday that he wants to declare this
[00:07:01] strait a territory of the United States, once he has defeated
[00:07:04] Iran.
[00:07:15] And today he went further by publishing on his social network a map that
[00:07:18] proclaims this maritime passage as new US
[00:07:22] territory. It does not lack a strip with the colors of the American
[00:07:25] flag. It is clear that Trump's announcement has no chance
[00:07:29] of succeeding and that we are facing a new maneuver of pressure towards the Persian
[00:07:33] country. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic passage for the transit of
[00:07:37] oil and liquefied gas and the United States is not willing to
[00:07:40] accept that Tehran decides who can cross it. With this
[00:07:44] threat, Trump also sends a
[00:07:47] the Strait, Oman, which is about to reach an agreement with Iran to
[00:07:51] reopen and manage Hormuz. Despite being an ally, Trump has even
[00:07:55] said that he will bomb Oman if it closes an agreement with the Ayatollahs'
[00:07:58] regime. Trump assures that the United States controls the Strait
[00:08:02] of Hormuz thanks to the naval blockade of the American
[00:08:04] Navy, affirms that it has been completely demined and insists that
[00:08:08] it is open. Iran says quite the opposite.
[00:08:12] that if America's commitments in the memorandum,
[00:08:15] including lifting the siege, releasing
[00:08:18] frozen assets, lifting oil sanctions, ending
[00:08:22] threats and military operations on all fronts,
[00:08:25] and other conditions to which America is committed
[00:08:29] in the memorandum, are not implemented,
[00:08:32] the strait will
[00:08:34] not be opened.
[00:08:42] launched two missiles towards its territory that fell into the sea. It is the first
[00:08:46] attack against this country since two months ago, Tehran and Washington signed
[00:08:50] the memorandum of understanding that has ended
[00:08:52] in failure. And it is not the only open front of the Trump
[00:08:56] administration, which is also redoubling the offensive against the International Criminal Court.
[00:09:00] Today it announced that it is also imposing sanctions against its president, Judge
[00:09:03] Tomoco Akane, and against another prosecutor
[00:09:06] of this institution. Washington does not hide its intention to dismantle the only
[00:09:10] global court that judges war crimes against humanity and genocide
[00:09:14] and has 125 member countries. For months, it has been
[00:09:17] besieged with sanctions and threats, accusing it of corruption and of being
[00:09:21] polarized for, among other things, having prosecuted Benjamin Netanyahu for
[00:09:25] war crimes in Gaza or for investigating the actions of the United States
[00:09:29] in Afghanistan.
[00:09:31] And also in the United States, this afternoon the largest trial against the technology company
[00:09:35] Meta began. It is accused of having designed two of the most iconic
[00:09:39] social networks, Instagram and Facebook, to be addictive,
[00:09:42] especially for children and young people. The company denies the
[00:09:45] accusations and denounces that no evidence of this harm to
[00:09:49] minors has been presented.
[00:09:51] Families and victim associations of Meta have displayed a large banner
[00:09:55] in front of the California court that judges them, and they show the
[00:09:58] names, many names, and ages of young people, adolescents, and even
[00:10:02] children who, consumed by social networks, ended
[00:10:06] up committing suicide. In their memory, they hope that today justice
[00:10:09] will begin to be done and Meta will be condemned
[00:10:13] for having deliberately and opaquely designed addictive features on
[00:10:16] Instagram and Facebook to hook young people and illegally collect
[00:10:20] their data.
[00:10:41] has lost two trials with judgments that have shown how it harmed the mental health of
[00:10:44] minors, but the one that starts today is the biggest and most threatening for the
[00:10:48] company, first because of the number of litigants, apart from
[00:10:52] associations and families, more than half of the states
[00:10:55] of the United States have joined, many of their attorneys general are in the
[00:10:59] room today, and then because of the compensation that is being demanded
[00:11:03] and that threatens to ruin it. According to Mark Zuckerberg's
[00:11:06] company, it could be forced to pay 1.4 trillion
[00:11:09] in dollars, the equivalent of its entire
[00:11:12] market capitalization. The prosecutors believe that it will be high
[00:11:16] and see a more realistic fine of 200 billion, the same amount that
[00:11:20] Meta earns in a whole year. The litigants hope
[00:11:23] that with this trial, the outcome of other historical mega-cases
[00:11:26] such as those of tobacco companies or opioid pharmaceutical companies
[00:11:30] will be repeated and Meta will be condemned for having consciously deceived
[00:11:34] consumers and having destroyed many lives, they want it to pay
[00:11:38] the consequences and the judge to force it to make Facebook and
[00:11:41] Instagram much less addictive for minors.
[00:11:43] In addition to social networks, artificial intelligence companies are also
[00:11:47] facing increasing pressure from families due to
[00:11:51] the impact that this tool has on the mental health of young people,
[00:11:54] which is why Open, owner of chat GPT, has launched a
[00:11:58] version for adolescents. The chatbot automatically limits some
[00:12:01] conversations, especially topics related to self-harm,
[00:12:05] violence, eating disorders, and sexual content.
[00:12:08] It will also be able to send alerts to parents or guardians who have activated
[00:12:11] parental control, although it will not allow them to directly read
[00:12:15] adolescents' conversations.
[00:12:18] adolescents.
[00:12:22] Another scare today in the city of Granada where the second
[00:12:25] earthquake in just four days has been registered. It had a magnitude of 4.8
[00:12:29] with the epicenter very close to that of Saturday, three people have been injured and
[00:12:33] the city council has activated the municipal emergency to review building
[00:12:36] structures. This increase in seismic activity in this area comes after
[00:12:40] some months in which there have been very important, much more important earthquakes
[00:12:44] worldwide, up to 10 of magnitude seven or more, among
[00:12:47] which those in Venezuela and Colombia have been the deadliest or this other one
[00:12:51] in Indonesia just four days ago. Well, despite this temporal coincidence
[00:12:55] and the fact of coming from a stage called seismic drought, experts
[00:12:59] rule out that they will become common or that there will be an increase in activity
[00:13:03] on a global scale.
[00:13:05] tremors and stronger tremors again and a part of
[00:13:08] a facade has fallen at two
[00:13:12] meters. They are residents of Gojar, the epicenter of a new
[00:13:16] earthquake in Granada. Cameras in homes like this one have
[00:13:20] captured the exact moment of the
[00:13:22] earthquake.
[00:13:25] even how it surprises pets, like this cat that instinctively flees.
[00:13:29] Different properties have suffered damage, especially in the municipality
[00:13:32] of Las Gabias. Four earthquakes of magnitude greater than four have already
[00:13:36] been registered, but the calls and recommendations to the
[00:13:39] population continue to be. Keep
[00:13:43] calm, stay
[00:13:46] home. We don't stop saying it. Since
[00:13:49] Friday there have been five hundred aftershocks, most of them
[00:13:53] imperceptible. A phenomenon that is not exceptional
[00:13:56] in this area of the peninsula where two tectonic
[00:14:00] plates meet, this means that the accumulated energy is released
[00:14:03] periodically causing movements. The last one was
[00:14:07] in the middle of the pandemic, in 2021 and in a few
[00:14:10] days up to 3,000 were registered. We do not have
[00:14:13] enough precision to know when it happens,
[00:14:17] we know, we have an idea of what is happening, but not
[00:14:20] when and how it will be, perhaps it will stop tomorrow,
[00:14:24] perhaps. a season until the energy that has been accumulating
[00:14:27] in the deformation is dissipated,
[00:14:31] but we do not have an exact
[00:14:33] idea of that energy. Beyond Granada
[00:14:36] this summer, serious seismic episodes have occurred in Venezuela and
[00:14:40] Colombia. It is basically a coincidence, there is no acceleration in the
[00:14:44] number of earthquakes, obviously, as I say, perhaps we have had
[00:14:47] several in a row, but then there will be a period
[00:14:51] when there are none. Given this uncertainty,
[00:14:55] the advice of experts is therefore to build more resistant buildings and conduct
[00:14:58] periodic inspections of them in areas of greater seismic
[00:15:02] activity.
[00:15:08] The Supreme Court rules that a change of sex from male to female
[00:15:11] does not annul a previous conviction for gender violence for the court that an
[00:15:15] aggressor has made this process and is registered in the civil registry as a
[00:15:18] woman does not change anything because when the acts were committed
[00:15:21] he was legally considered a man. The sentence known today is
[00:15:25] related to a case of gender violence in Castellón and creates
[00:15:28] jurisprudence. With the decision, justice aims to end one of the maneuvers
[00:15:32] used by some male aggressors to circumvent the
[00:15:35] sentence that had been imposed on them for harm.
[00:15:39] For years, delays in dependency aid have become a burden
[00:15:43] for the beneficiaries of this benefit and their families. In
[00:15:46] April, the government approved a series of urgent measures to speed it up, but
[00:15:50] the delays persist. Actress Assumpte Serna has publicly denounced it
[00:15:54] in this way. The protocol of the Department of Social Rights and
[00:15:58] Inclusion of the Generalitat de Catalunya is neither humane nor
[00:16:04] actress Assumpta Serna to denounce the obstacles for...
[00:16:10] help for dependency for her 100-year-old mother. In just five days, the reels she has published have gone viral and
[00:16:14] have reached one and a half million views. They have served
[00:16:17] to highlight once again, a reality that affects thousands of
[00:16:21] Catalan families. She has suffered what she describes as a malfunction
[00:16:24] of the dependency system, first with her father
[00:16:27] and now with her mother. For me, this
[00:16:30] was an idea of
[00:16:33] what was happening to me. Then it became an awareness of... claiming
[00:16:37] my environment, when I exposed it and I am
[00:16:41] receiving these eh, these testimonies, well, one
[00:16:45] cannot be alone. More than
[00:16:48] the state have already supported her through a form where they explain
[00:16:52] the problems they also suffer and what they demand and
[00:16:55] from there the platform was born which they presented today to the
[00:16:59] Minister of Social Rights, they demand a state pact for
[00:17:03] dependency. 130,000 people were waiting
[00:17:06] for aid in April. But the urgent measures approved in the
[00:17:09] spring to reduce waiting lists have not been noticed,
[00:17:13] the Generalitat admits that there is a blockage in the system.
[00:17:16] Logically, the waiting list is still very long and, therefore,
[00:17:20] we will notice a global improvement, surely, well, from
[00:17:24] mid-next year. The deadlines must be
[00:17:27] adequate and that is what we are working on
[00:17:31] firmly. The aim is to ensure that all procedures can be resolved in
[00:17:35] just two months.
[00:17:38] they exceed a year of waiting, a difficult challenge that will only
[00:17:42] grow with an increasingly aging
[00:17:44] population. Four people, one in critical condition,
[00:17:48] were intoxicated this morning due to the possible poor combustion of a
[00:17:51] generator in a warehouse in Sant Jaume dels Diomens in Baix Penedès. Firefighters received
[00:17:55] the alert shortly after 10 a.m. and when they arrived at the warehouse, they had
[00:17:59] to rescue two people from inside who had not been able to leave
[00:18:03] the building. The other two had already left, three of these four
[00:18:06] affected people have been urgently transferred to Moisés Broggi
[00:18:10] hospital, the fourth was attended at
[00:18:12] Vendrell hospital.
[00:18:15] And resignation among the thirty residents
[00:18:18] this Sunday. Today the building was still smoking, it has been
[00:18:22] so badly damaged that it will have to be demolished. Among those affected are also
[00:18:25] the residents of the adjacent building who do not know when they will be able to return
[00:18:28] home. This morning smoke was still coming out of the ground floor where
[00:18:32] the fire started on Sunday. The flames burned four of the eight
[00:18:36] homes in the building number three of Valles street in Lleida and
[00:18:39] forced the evacuation of about thirty residents who today had to enter
[00:18:43] the flats to collect some belongings, the entry however
[00:18:46] has been delayed more than expected, it is being delayed because there is a lot of smoke in the
[00:18:49] homes, we are ventilating, removing smoke, they have just done some small
[00:18:53] tasks of wetting down some hot spots, despite this there are residents
[00:18:57] who have not been able to access their flat because it has been completely
[00:19:00] burned, nothing left, absolutely nothing and
[00:19:03] we are having a very hard time, we are having a very hard time because where to go now...
[00:19:10] All of them, however, will lose their homes because the building has suffered structural damage
[00:19:14] and will have to be demolished, this is the case of Roxana's family
[00:19:18] who has two minor daughters and who are waiting for their insurance to cover them.
[00:19:34] In retrospect, the residents of number five of the building next door and numbers
[00:19:37] 13 and 14 of Hospitalers de Sant
[00:19:41] Joan street have also been evacuated. The people who live in these three buildings will not be able to return
[00:19:45] home until the affected building is demolished, which is expected
[00:19:48] to be in three
[00:19:49] weeks.
[00:19:58] In fact, some of the affected people have been taken in by
[00:20:02] friends and family, and social
[00:20:05] the city on an emergency basis. In parallel, the
[00:20:11] the fire, which they have disconnected from the riots that occurred over the
[00:20:15] weekend in the neighborhood. And
[00:20:17] in a very tense housing market. Today, developers have warned about the
[00:20:21] lack of protected housing. They assure that in three out of four
[00:20:24] municipalities in the metropolitan area, last year no official protection housing
[00:20:28] was started to be built. They add that this is a trend that has
[00:20:32] been dragging on for six years. This contrasts with the strong demand for affordable
[00:20:35] housing which, according to the... last year rose to
[00:20:39] 104,000 applications, which is why they warn that the problem is also
[00:20:43] the actual construction capacity, demanding
[00:20:46] that the administration act with more predictable deadlines and licenses.
[00:20:53] Cambrils today commemorated the ninth anniversary of the 17-A attacks,
[00:20:56] the tribute to the victims was held next to the place where the terrorists
[00:21:00] killed one person and injured five more before the agents
[00:21:04] shot down the jihadists. Victims, political and police representatives participated
[00:21:08] in the act of remembrance, just as they did in Ripoll and
[00:21:11] Barcelona.
[00:21:14] The issue of immigration has been present today in Prada, the Catalan Summer
[00:21:18] University, due to the social challenges that...
[00:21:20] but also for politicians, the president of the parliament has underlined that xenophobes
[00:21:24] do not fit, he says, within independence, and for the left,
[00:21:27] integration is key.
[00:21:29] integració.
[00:21:36] The summer university usually marks the moments before the start of the political year,
[00:21:39] this year also the pre-campaign for the municipal elections. I believe that
[00:21:43] Catalonia and the Catalan Countries are on the verge of
[00:21:47] collapse.
[00:21:50] The left has put forward its proposals to overcome this
[00:21:53] exhaustion that was raised as soon as the intervention began, it is
[00:21:57] clear that we face a demographic challenge with 8.2
[00:22:00] million inhabitants, 2 million of whom are
[00:22:03] foreigners and therefore we need to consider what the
[00:22:07] future is as a community and approach it from the left without
[00:22:11] shying away from debate, but facing it with the progressive terms
[00:22:14] that I believe are what will make us advance as a people.
[00:22:18] Germany has expressed concern about the role of Junts regarding the
[00:22:21] Catalan alliance, but the president of the parliament has made it clear that his
[00:22:25] party also advocates for an inclusive
[00:22:28] independence. Those who propose, make an ethnicist
[00:22:31] proposal, simply make the nation unviable,
[00:22:34] the independence project unviable. This was during
[00:22:38] the tribute to the former president of Òmnium, Muriel Casals, who died
[00:22:42] just 10 years ago. The former president of the ANC, Carme
[00:22:45] Forcadell, and the current president of Òmnium, Xavier Antich, have
[00:22:48] highlighted her character.
[00:22:53] The three speakers at the tribute agreed that Muriel Casals
[00:22:56] independence when the movement felt,
[00:23:00] textually, more beautiful and
[00:23:11] days, enjoy them if you can, but in the middle of August,
[00:23:15] whether you work or not, you may have been left with a doubt when looking at the calendar. What should
[00:23:19] companies do when a holiday coincides with days off like a Saturday or
[00:23:23] a Sunday? Well, to answer this question, let's open the calendar
[00:23:26] for this August because that's what happened last Saturday, it was August 15th and therefore
[00:23:30] a holiday, a coincidence that attention, is repeated three more times
[00:23:34] this year in what remains. It will be November 1st, All Saints' Day, which
[00:23:38] falls on a Sunday and in December on two occasions, December 6th,
[00:23:41] Constitution Day is Sunday and Saint Stephen's Day
[00:23:45] the 26th is on Saturday, therefore on these
[00:23:48] dates companies must give the day off to workers, well, several
[00:23:52] sentences recognize the right of workers to compensate for it and
[00:23:55] many agreements and the work calendar already include it, but this is not
[00:23:59] automatic for everyone.
[00:24:02] The 14 public holidays in the labor calendar include holidays
[00:24:05] of religious, political or social origin, national, Catalan
[00:24:09] and local, such as August 15th. These are days that
[00:24:11] are added to those that workers usually have off to rest,
[00:24:15] generally on weekends. What we must not
[00:24:18] confuse are the holidays with the
[00:24:21] weekly rest, they are two completely different things, if
[00:24:24] your weekly rest coincides with a holiday,
[00:24:28] this holiday must be taken at another time. The coincidence
[00:24:31] of a holiday on a day off is already foreseen by many companies when
[00:24:35] organizing the calendar so that the annual hour count is compensated,
[00:24:39] but in some sectors there are difficulties for the law to be
[00:24:43] applied. It coincides a lot with commerce that works Saturdays
[00:24:46] and Sundays, it coincides a lot with the telemarketing service that is...
[00:24:50] 24 hours a day or with other services such as roadside
[00:24:53] assistance, transport, right? which are very
[00:24:57] precarious sectors where precarity has been growing in recent
[00:25:00] years and that eh well it is difficult for
[00:25:04] companies to comply. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court recognized
[00:25:08] that if a public holiday coincides with an employee's weekly rest day,
[00:25:11] the company is obliged to compensate them with an additional
[00:25:15] day off. The employers' association Pimec recommends that companies take this
[00:25:19] into account for their annual planning. The
[00:25:22] Aiguamolls de l'Empordà wetlands could grow and incorporate five
[00:25:26] more municipalities. The Generalitat has initiated the process to expand the scope
[00:25:29] of this natural park and be able to incorporate areas that have natural
[00:25:33] interest, but which are currently outside it. In this way, the park
[00:25:38] go from 5,000 to 6,000
[00:25:39] hectares.
[00:25:42] The municipality of Riumors has an extensive area of ancient ponds that are flooded
[00:25:46] recurrently when it rains and which currently have agricultural uses. It is an
[00:25:50] area adjacent to the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà natural park that currently has no protection status
[00:25:54] and which the Generalitat has included in the project to expand the park's
[00:25:57] scope. within its perimeter there is a band of spaces that are outside the park and that have
[00:26:01] an important natural value and on the other hand also an important public use
[00:26:04] of people who go to visit, wander around, look at birds on bicycles, walk,
[00:26:08] etcetera, in places that have natural value and yet are not managed and therefore, if they form
[00:26:12] part of the natural park, they allow on the one hand to ensure preservation, increase
[00:26:15] biodiversity and on the other hand that people who can enjoy it do so in better
[00:26:18] conditions. the expansion of the park would include five new municipalities, it is
[00:26:22] the case of Ventalló, but where the meandering course of the Fluvià and the Salt del
[00:26:28] the Natura 2000 network, but which with its inclusion in the natural park would enjoy greater
[00:26:32] protection. the town council sees it as good because it would allow them to solve
[00:26:35] problems such as the frequent illegal dumping of rubble and waste in the
[00:26:39] area. For now, the scope of the park was cut off in the municipal
[00:26:43] district of Sant Pere Pescador. Then we understand that an area like
[00:26:46] this goes beyond territorial and administrative limits.
[00:26:50] L'Armentera and Sant Pere Pescador already had
[00:26:53] this protection and now it is about extending it a little further back to the
[00:26:57] C31 bridge. The park expansion project has been launched with
[00:27:00] a prior public consultation to gather opinions. Among the contributions
[00:27:04] that have already been made, there are those from the environmental organization Iaeden, which
[00:27:07] proposes 15 new areas and protection measures, such as declaring the Fluvià river mouth
[00:27:11] a partial natural reserve. There are spaces that the park already includes,
[00:27:15] we are adding more protection, but there are spaces that are adjacent to the
[00:27:18] park and that also allow connection with the Cap de Creus Natural
[00:27:22] Park to the north and with the Montgrí and Baixter Medes Islands
[00:27:25] Natural Park to the south. Iaeden also hopes that the expansion of the
[00:27:31] the installation.
[00:27:33] which has accumulated years of controversy and complaints of illegality, lack of
[00:27:38] public space. This summer has been very
[00:27:42] difficult, everyone has surely suffered from it, to sleep at night because of the heat. In
[00:27:46] some neighborhoods of Barcelona, it has not dropped below 25 degrees on a total
[00:27:50] of 53 nights, it is a historical record, everything points, we regret
[00:27:53] to say so, that these high temperatures will be repeated today. Let's go
[00:27:57] to Oriol Llac Street, tell us what temperature the thermometer shows at this
[00:28:00] time.
[00:28:04] Well, right now, where we are in the center of Barcelona, the thermometer does not drop below
[00:28:08] 29 degrees Celsius, in fact we are in the Raval
[00:28:10] neighborhood, here precisely is where there is a meteorological
[00:28:14] station of the Catalan meteorological service that has
[00:28:18] registered last night a minimum temperature of
[00:28:20] 27.6 degrees, which, added to a
[00:28:24] 76% humidity, translates into a
[00:28:27] suffocating thermal sensation that could well add
[00:28:30] between 7 or 8 degrees. Yes, it is true
[00:28:34] that as it gets dark, little by little on this Raval
[00:28:37] boulevard, people are going out into the street, they start
[00:28:40] walking, but one detail, the terraces are at half capacity, many
[00:28:44] people choose to go inside the premises simply because they are
[00:28:48] air-conditioned, the people who are on the street, many of them carry either
[00:28:51] water bottles, or they carry small fans or the
[00:28:55] classic hand fan, in any case we have spoken with some of these witnesses and they have
[00:28:59] explained to us how they are doing to survive these... unbearable
[00:29:03] nights of
[00:29:04] heat,
[00:29:07] never, never, never, never, this heat,
[00:29:10] never, never before, it's horrible, I
[00:29:14] don't know, there has been a change here that if next year it continues
[00:29:17] the same we will have to leave and but it doesn't matter, if you go to
[00:29:21] Europe it seems that they are the same, well the truth is that quite
[00:29:24] bad, the climate more of Bilbao and the climate
[00:29:28] more of fresh from the north, the truth is that here between the heat and the humidity.
[00:29:32] it's quite complicated, eh, you don't sleep, it's
[00:29:36] that you can't sleep, let's see, we are sleeping, eh, sleeping with a
[00:29:39] fan at the foot of the bed, because otherwise it's
[00:29:42] unfeasible.
[00:29:48] Cuba continues immersed in a deep crisis, power cuts
[00:29:51] are still continuous to the lack of fuel,
[00:29:55] others are added, NGOs and entities that could support Cuban
[00:29:58] society have stopped their movements for fear of reprisals
[00:30:02] from the United States government.
[00:30:05] Energy suffocation and US sanctions are slowly devastating Cuba
[00:30:09] with a chain of calamities. The oil
[00:30:11] embargo multiplies the blackouts that already
[00:30:15] the Island. The shortage makes the few products available more expensive,
[00:30:19] thousands of people sleep in the open due to the lack of
[00:30:24] Assembly qualifies the embargo as an energy siege and UN
[00:30:28] rapporteurs warn that the Island is becoming a silent
[00:30:31] Gaza. The halt in Venezuela's oil supply
[00:30:34] has accelerated the
[00:30:38] actions in the South American country with the regress of President
[00:30:41] Maduro, the United States' foreign policy towards Cuba
[00:30:45] is to let it gradually suffocate. Its Secretary
[00:30:48] of State has hinted at this. They are suffocating in scarcity, they are suffocating with
[00:30:52] the smoke from the rubbish that in some neighborhoods they burn in the street.
[00:30:56] The local United Nations office denounces that logistics companies such as...
