[00:01:37] coach who [00:03:36] community and face it from [00:04:04] The European Commission is pressuring the Spanish government over the migrant minors who have [00:04:08] entered Ceuta. Brussels approves their return to Morocco, relying [00:04:12] on European law, and the Ministry of Childhood reacts with [00:04:16] indignation, accusing the Commission of treating minors as a [00:04:22] the best moment of commodity. [00:04:25] Donald Trump declares the annexation of the Strait of Hormuz by the United [00:04:28] States. Nirenyà calls Trump [00:04:31] an illusionist. [00:04:35] The trial against the technology company Meta begins, accused of [00:04:38] deliberately turning Facebook and Instagram into addictive [00:04:42] social networks for children and young people, causing an [00:04:46] increase in cases of anxiety, depression, and deaths by suicide among its [00:04:50] users. [00:04:53] The Catalan Summer University pays homage to Muriel Casals 10 [00:04:57] years after her death, remembering her... dialoguing character, parties [00:05:00] and entities demand a new [00:05:03] impulse for independence, but excluding xenophobic [00:05:09] rule out an increase in parties. [00:05:12] 83 years old, the magician Juan Tamariz, one of the most important [00:05:15] Spanish illusionists, especially for his card [00:05:19] tricks, popularized a very personal way of doing [00:05:22] magic, mixing cards, humor, [00:05:25] improvisation and audience [00:05:50] Hello, good evening. The pressure on the Spanish government is increasing from [00:05:53] several fronts after the massive entry of migrants into Ceuta on [00:05:57] July 30. Sánchez's executive today estimated the number of [00:06:00] minors who have entered the autonomous city at 2,168 [00:06:04] and has recognized that there are not enough places. And [00:06:07] precisely today, the European Commission has endorsed the return of these minors to Morocco, [00:06:11] relying on community law. And the president of Ceuta has demanded that [00:06:15] this return be executed immediately. Eva [00:06:18] Palegrí has more details. [00:06:21] The Moncloa has gone from a very tough discourse affirming that all migrants [00:06:25] would be expelled, to admitting, once the border was secured, that it would have [00:06:28] to accommodate some, especially if they are minors. Sources from the Ministry [00:06:32] of Children and Youth say that they are totally against [00:06:35] deporting children and remind that with the law in hand, above all, [00:06:39] the best interest of the minor is paramount. They explain that neither [00:06:42] Spanish regulations nor European ones allow a [00:06:45] minor to be returned from one day to the next, and that an entire process must be followed. The same sources [00:06:49] insist that the priority is family reunification, if the conditions are met, [00:06:53] and if not, the minor must be accommodated. Meanwhile, [00:06:57] the political dispute over the management of the crisis continues. The PP [00:07:00] seizes on Europe's pressure to demand the return of all the [00:07:04] people who entered illegally. The president of Ceuta [00:07:07] insists that he will go to court if the Spanish government does not resolve the crisis, and [00:07:11] only reproaches Sánchez's executive for not putting the same [00:07:14] efforts into resolving the migrants' files as into [00:07:17] providing them with humanitarian assistance. The Moncloa accuses [00:07:20] the president of the autonomous city of following Genoa's directives to [00:07:24] hinder the opening of spaces to care for those who are still sleeping rough. [00:07:27] atendre els que segueixen dormint al [00:07:29] ras. [00:07:31] It is shameful that Europe is supporting us and yet our government [00:07:35] has abandoned us, it is shameful, it is unheard of, it is [00:07:39] inadmissible. Because that effort that is made to set up tents and... [00:07:43] and and to set up provisional camps, is not made to [00:07:46] process the files of repatriation and expulsion of the [00:07:50] people who arrived here illegally. Perhaps there is [00:07:54] a context and an environment and some directives from [00:07:57] Genoa that complicate eh well, what for me is [00:08:01] so important, which is the collaboration between administrations and in [00:08:05] the in the issue of spaces it is absolutely [00:08:07] indispensable. 19 days after the massive entry [00:08:11] into Ceuta, the figures continue to fluctuate. First, those of the [00:08:15] unaccompanied minors who are still in the autonomous city. Today [00:08:19] the Interior Ministry has raised the number to 2,168 [00:08:22] registered. These are children and adolescents that the European Commission says [00:08:26] community law allows to return. [00:08:42] government has already responded that it will prioritize family [00:08:45] reunification, but that above all it must fight for the superior interest of the [00:08:49] minor. The truth is that the European return directive requires compliance with [00:08:53] certain requirements. It is necessary to get in contact with the country of origin, [00:08:56] ensure that the child has someone who can take care of them and a suitable [00:09:00] place to live. The count of adults living in dire conditions in the city [00:09:04] is also not accurate. Some settled in improvised [00:09:07] shacks. There would be around 5,000, half a thousand of whom [00:09:10] have applied for asylum in Spain. [00:09:12] These figures overwhelm the capacity for care. The Minister of [00:09:16] Migrations admits that the 1,500 emergency shelter [00:09:19] places she announced yesterday may not be enough. [00:09:37] The crisis has also overwhelmed the courts of Ceuta, where death certificates and arrests [00:09:40] are piling up. The Council [00:09:42] of the Judiciary today called for strengthening the duty and domestic [00:09:46] violence courts with more magistrates and [00:09:50] administrative staff. [00:09:53] The day after the agreement between the United States and Iran to definitively [00:09:56] end the war expired, negotiations are not only [00:10:00] frozen, but Donald Trump has made a new [00:10:03] provocation. He today declared the annexation of the Strait of Hormuz to the United [00:10:07] States, a strategic point that is thus added to the list of [00:10:11] coveted territories. [00:10:14] After Greenland, the Panama Canal, Canada, and Venezuela, [00:10:18] now it's Hormuz's turn. In another outburst, Donald Trump had already [00:10:21] announced on Friday that he wanted to declare this strait territory of the [00:10:25] United States, once he had defeated Iran. [00:10:37] And today he went further by publishing on his social network a map that [00:10:41] proclaims this maritime passage as new American [00:10:44] territory. It does not lack a strip with the colors of the American [00:10:48] flag. It is evident that Trump's announcement has no possibility [00:10:52] of reacting and that we are facing a new maneuver against [00:10:55] the Persian country. The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic passage for the transit of [00:10:59] oil and liquefied natural gas, and the United States is not willing to [00:11:03] accept that Tehran decides who can cross it. With this [00:11:06] threat, Trump also sends a [00:11:10] the Strait, Oman, which is about to reach an agreement with Iran to reopen [00:11:14] and manage Hormuz. Despite being an ally, Trump has even said that [00:11:17] he will bomb Oman if it closes an agreement with the regime of the [00:11:20] Ayatollahs. Trump assures that the United States controls the Strait [00:11:24] of Hormuz. Thanks to the naval blockade of the American [00:11:27] Navy, he states that it has been completely demined and insists that [00:11:30] it is open. Iran, on the other hand, says everything... [00:11:34] until the US commitments in the agreement, [00:11:37] including lifting the siege, releasing blocked [00:11:41] assets, lifting oil sanctions, ending [00:11:44] threats and military operations on all fronts, [00:11:49] and other conditions to which the US has committed [00:11:52] in the agreement are not implemented. [00:11:57] Teran today once again demonstrated its military capability in [00:12:00] the region. According to the United Arab Emirates, Iran launched [00:12:04] two missiles towards its territory, which fell into the sea. [00:12:08] This is the first attack against this country since two months ago, Terran and Washington [00:12:12] signed the memorandum of understanding that has ended [00:12:14] in failure. [00:12:17] The Trump administration redoubles the offensive against the International Criminal [00:12:20] Court. Today it announced that it is also imposing sanctions against its [00:12:24] president, Judge Tomo Cacana, and against another [00:12:27] prosecutor of the institution. Washington does not hide its intention to [00:12:31] dismantle the only global court that judges war crimes against [00:12:35] humanity and genocide, and which has 125 member [00:12:38] countries. It has been besieged with sanctions and [00:12:42] threats for months. It accuses it of corruption and being politicized, [00:12:45] among other things, for having prosecuted Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes [00:12:49] in Gaza or for investigating the actions of the United States [00:12:52] in Afghanistan. [00:12:55] And also in the United States, this afternoon the biggest trial against [00:12:59] the technology company Meta has begun. It is accused of having designed two of the most [00:13:03] iconic social networks, Instagram and Facebook, to be [00:13:06] addictive for children and young people. The company denies the [00:13:10] accusations and denounces that no evidence of harm to minors [00:13:14] has been presented. [00:13:16] Families and associations of Meta victims have unfurled a large banner [00:13:20] in front of the California court, which we judge. If they leave the names, [00:13:24] many names and the ages of the young people, adolescents, and even children [00:13:28] who, consumed by social networks, ended up [00:13:31] committing suicide. In their memory, they hope that today justice will begin [00:13:35] to be done and Meta will be condemned for having [00:13:38] deliberately and opaquely designed addictive features on [00:13:42] Instagram and Facebook to hook young people and illegally collect [00:13:45] their data. [00:14:03] This year, Meta has already lost two lawsuits with verdicts that have demonstrated [00:14:07] how it harmed the mental health of minors, but the one that [00:14:10] begins today is the largest and most threatening for the company. [00:14:14] First, because of the number of plaintiffs, in addition [00:14:17] to associations and family members, more than half of the states [00:14:21] of the United States have joined. Many of their attorneys general are in the courtroom today. [00:14:25] And then because of the compensation that is demanded of it and that threatens [00:14:28] to ruin it. According to Mark Zuckerberg's company, it could force it [00:14:32] to pay 1.4 trillion [00:14:35] dollars, the equivalent of its entire market [00:14:38] capitalization. Prosecutors believe that they will demand and see as more [00:14:42] realistic a fine of 200,000 million, the same amount that [00:14:45] Meta earns in a whole year. The plaintiffs hope that with this trial [00:14:49] the outcome of other historic major cases such as [00:14:53] those of tobacco companies or pharmaceutical [00:14:55] companies for opioids will be repeated and Meta will be condemned [00:14:58] for having knowingly deceived consumers and [00:15:02] destroyed many lives. They want it to pay the [00:15:05] consequences and for the judge to force it to make Facebook and Instagram [00:15:08] much less addictive for minors. [00:15:17] Another 4.8 magnitude earthquake has once again shaken [00:15:20] Granada. It is the second in four days and has left three lightly injured. [00:15:24] The board... activated the municipal emergency plan to inspect building [00:15:28] structures. Despite the scare and the coincidence with major [00:15:31] international earthquakes, experts [00:15:34] global seismic activity. [00:15:37] Tremors and tremors, stronger than before, part of a facade [00:15:41] has fallen at 2 meters. They are residents of [00:15:45] Gojar, the epicenter of a new earthquake in Granada. [00:15:49] Cameras in homes like this have [00:15:52] captured the exact moment of the [00:15:54] earthquake. [00:15:57] Even how it surprises pets, like this cat that instinctively [00:16:01] flees. Different properties have suffered [00:16:06] Las. Four earthquakes with a magnitude greater than four have already been [00:16:10] registered, but the calls and recommendations to the population continue to be [00:16:13] to keep calm, to be [00:16:17] tranquil, to stay home, we don't [00:16:20] stop saying it. Since Friday there have been half [00:16:23] a thousand aftershocks, most of them imperceptible, a [00:16:27] phenomenon that is not exceptional in this area of the peninsula where [00:16:31] two tectonic plates meet. This means that [00:16:34] the energy that accumulates is released periodically, causing [00:16:37] movements. The last one was in the middle of the pandemic, in [00:16:40] 2021, and in a few days up to 3,000 were [00:16:44] registered. We don't have enough precision to know when [00:16:47] it happens, we know, we have an idea of what [00:16:51] is happening, but not when and how it will be. [00:16:54] Maybe it stops tomorrow, maybe it continues for a [00:16:58] season, obviously until the energy that has been accumulating in the [00:17:01] deformation is dissipated, but we do not have an exact [00:17:05] idea of the... [00:17:08] Beyond Granada, this summer there have been serious seismic episodes in [00:17:12] Venezuela or Colombia. Basically, it's a coincidence, there is no [00:17:15] acceleration in the number of earthquakes. Obviously, as [00:17:19] I said, maybe now we have had a few in a row, but [00:17:22] after that, there is a period where there are none. [00:17:25] Given this uncertainty, the experts' recommendation is therefore [00:17:29] to build more resilient buildings and carry out periodic [00:17:32] inspections of them in areas of greater seismic [00:17:34] activity. [00:17:37] The Supreme Court rules that a change of sex from male to female [00:17:41] does not nullify a previous conviction for gender-based [00:17:44] violence. For the court, that an aggressor has made this change and [00:17:47] is registered in the civil registry as a woman, changes nothing because [00:17:50] when the acts were committed, he was legally registered as a man. The [00:17:54] ruling known today is related to a case of gender-based [00:17:57] violence in Castellón and creates jurisprudence. With this [00:18:01] decision, the justice system aims to put an end to one of the maneuvers used [00:18:05] by some sexist aggressors to... the sentence that had [00:18:08] been imposed on them for [00:18:09] mistreatment. [00:18:17] The issue of migration was present today in Prada, at the Catalan [00:18:21] Summer University, due to the social challenges it entails, but also [00:18:24] political ones. The President of the Parliament has underlined that xenophobes [00:18:27] do not belong within the independence movement. For Elisenda [00:18:30] de Labanya, the key is [00:18:32] integration. [00:18:39] The Summer University usually marks the moments before the start of the political season, [00:18:42] this year also the pre-campaign for the municipal elections. I believe that [00:18:46] Catalonia and the Catalan Countries are on the verge of [00:18:52] the Mayoralty of Barcelona for Esquerra has presented her proposals to overcome [00:18:55] this exhaustion that she raised at the very beginning of her [00:18:59] speech. It is evident that we face a demographic [00:19:02] challenge with 8.2 million inhabitants, 2 million [00:19:05] of whom are ours. [00:19:08] and therefore we need to look at what the future is as a [00:19:13] the left without running away from it, but facing it with progressive [00:19:17] terms that I believe are what will make us advance as a [00:19:20] people. Aleman has shown concern about the role of Junts [00:19:23] regarding Aliança Catalana, but the President of Parliament has made it clear [00:19:27] that his party also advocates for an inclusive [00:19:31] independence movement. Those who propose, they make an ethnicist [00:19:35] proposal, simply make it unviable [00:19:38] for the nation, unviable for the independence project. This was during [00:19:41] the tribute to the former president of Òmnium, Muriel Casals, who died [00:19:45] just 10 years ago. The former president of the ANC, Carma [00:19:48] Furcadell, and the current president of Òmnium, Xaviantic, have highlighted [00:19:52] Casals' dialoguing spirit. The three [00:19:55] speakers at the tribute agreed to highlight that Muriel Casals now represents [00:19:59] the independence movement, when the movement felt, literally, [00:20:03] "more beautiful and stronger." Antoni Dermangol, TV3 [00:20:06] Prat. [00:20:14] Cuba remains immersed in a deep crisis. Power outages [00:20:18] continue due to the lack of fuel, and others are added. NGOs [00:20:21] and entities that could support Cuban society have stopped their [00:20:25] movements for fear of retaliation from the United [00:20:29] States. [00:20:32] The energy asphyxia and the sanctions from the United States are slowly [00:20:35] devastating Cuba with a chain of calamities. [00:20:38] The oil embargo multiplies the blackouts that already last for days in [00:20:41] some parts of the island. The scarcity makes the few products [00:20:45] available more expensive. Thousands of people sleep on rooftops due to the [00:20:48] lack of refrigeration. The UN General Assembly calls [00:20:52] the embargo an energy siege, and UN rapporteurs [00:20:55] warn that the island is becoming a silent [00:20:58] gas chamber. The halt in oil supply from Venezuela has [00:21:04] the Trump administration's actions in the South American country with the withdrawal of [00:21:08] President Maduro, the United States' foreign policy regarding Cuba [00:21:11] is to let it drown. Her Secretary of State has hinted at [00:21:15] it. Drowning in scarcity, drowning in [00:21:19] the smoke of... the brush that some neighborhoods burn in the street. [00:21:23] The local United Nations office denounces that logistics companies such as [00:21:26] shipping companies, insurers, or banks avoid all risks and have stopped their [00:21:30] movements on the island for fear of US sanctions. The [00:21:34] immediate consequence is that humanitarian agencies cannot deliver [00:21:38] their [00:21:38] aid. [00:21:44] Costs and humanitarian [00:21:45] impacts. I would say not only. [00:21:58] The examples are multiplying: recently a shipment of drugs against childhood cancer [00:22:02] was spoiled because no one provided refrigerated transport. The United [00:22:06] Nations assures that infant mortality has doubled and the survival [00:22:09] of children with cancer has gone from [00:22:11] 85% to [00:22:13] 65%. [00:22:16] Manuel Sánchez lives day by day or barely survives, looking through [00:22:20] garbage for something to eat. The inflation, which he cannot quantify, [00:22:23] leaves millions of Cubans in misery, and the discussion [00:22:27] about the deep causes of what is happening on the island divides the [00:22:30] citizens [00:22:31] themselves. [00:22:36] 1,500 pesos when a carton of eggs costs 500, brother, brother, the [00:22:40] government doesn't see that or the government abandoned the people or the American [00:22:43] light, lift the blockade, don't screw around, tell the Americans [00:22:47] to lift the blockade, the blockade is communism itself. [00:22:58] power cuts, water, gas, and slowly moving towards a humanitarian collapse [00:23:03] abroad. [00:23:07] And so, the rainstorm in the north of the country has left one dead and [00:23:10] nearly 2,000 evacuated. The fatality is the driver of a [00:23:14] pickup truck who was surprised by a rockslide onto the [00:23:18] road in the Antofagasta region. The storm has been [00:23:21] crossing Chile since July 14, although its [00:23:25] intensity has fluctuated. It has affected [00:23:28] 10 of the country's 16 regions, and in recent [00:23:31] weeks it had already left 15 [00:23:33] dead. [00:23:42] The world of magic mourns the death at 83 years old of [00:23:46] Juan Tamariz. The Madrid-born illusionist made this [00:23:50] technique enormously popular with performances [00:23:54] television. His legacy has influenced thousands of fans and [00:23:57] professionals of [00:23:58] magic. [00:24:05] With his inseparable hat, his crazy hair, but what [00:24:09] he always wore was a good [00:24:11] humor. [00:24:20] of husband, a great master of card magic who had a skill that [00:24:24] few have, making us doubt what our eyes [00:24:27] see. And look what happens, it transforms into the seven of spades, which was [00:24:31] the card he had. Tamariz used to say that magic [00:24:34] begins in the street and then reaches television, but the [00:24:38] magician went the other way around. Despite having won the world [00:24:42] card magic award that consolidated his career, success came to him [00:24:46] on television sets in the 80s. Nevertheless, his desire... [00:24:58] And so it was, he left television and went to theaters because [00:25:02] he missed contact with the public, [00:25:05] even minimally, or that is the moment that fills me [00:25:09] up, no, when they do [00:25:12] that, I don't know how to explain it, his close treatment, his [00:25:15] undoubtable elegant [00:25:19] humility. And a deck of cards in hand, he became a [00:25:23] master of intelligent, virtuous, and above all, [00:25:26] spontaneous [00:25:31] illusionism. And always looking for the child we all have inside. At [00:25:34] 83 years old, the magician leaves us, but his legacy [00:25:37] remains, the ability to make us believe, even if only for [00:25:41] a few moments, that the impossible is [00:25:43] possible with a smile on our [00:25:45] lips. [00:25:54] The house of sparkling water Picchi Catalan offers you this [00:25:57] space. [00:30:24] The European Commission pressures the Spanish government over the migrant minors who have [00:30:28] entered Ceuta. Brussels rejects the return to Morocco, appealing [00:30:32] to European law, and the Ministry of Childhood reacts with [00:30:35] indignation and accuses the commission of treating minors as [00:30:39] merchandise. [00:30:45] Donald Trump declares the annexation of the Strait of Hormuz by the United [00:30:48] States. The Iranian government calls Trump [00:30:51] delusional. [00:30:55] The trial begins against the technology company Meta, accused of [00:30:58] deliberate conversion.
