A great play by [00:00:24] Carles Puigdemont says that when he can return to Catalonia, the first thing he will do [00:00:28] is listen to the territory. His political future, he said in [00:00:32] an interview with the British newspaper The Sunday Times, which is published [00:00:35] today. [00:00:40] Catalonia becomes the scene of the beginning of the political [00:00:43] pre-campaign with events with socialist and [00:00:46] popular leaders. At the PSC's rose festival, Pedro [00:00:49] Sánchez criticizes Feijóo and Abascal for appearing [00:00:53] only when they need electoral [00:00:58] calendar, this was the gains. For his part, Feijóo, in an event with the militants in Badalona, [00:01:02] has said that Catalonia is a fundamental piece for political [00:01:05] change in [00:01:06] Spain. [00:01:10] Demonstration by the 'Aeroport' platform against [00:01:13] the expansion of El Prat Airport this midday is taking place in [00:01:16] Barcelona. They denounce that it will worsen the climate crisis, also the [00:01:20] housing crisis and tourist [00:01:22] overcrowding. [00:01:25] At least two people have died and six more have been injured in the Moscow [00:01:29] temperatures and persistent region in a Ukrainian drone attack, [00:01:32] which would be the most intense attack so far against the Russian capital and coincides [00:01:36] with the third day of the legislative elections in the [00:01:38] country. [00:01:41] The Matagalls Montserrat has had to modify its route and end [00:01:45] in Matadepera due to environmental [00:01:48] has won her first world championship in restrictions. The itinerary has been reduced from 82 to [00:01:50] 60 km to protect the natural [00:02:56] return to Catalonia. He has said that he will dedicate himself to touring the territory, [00:03:00] taking its pulse, undertaking a process of listening and then [00:03:03] deciding what political steps need to be taken. In an interview with [00:03:07] the British newspaper The Sunday Times, which is published today, the former president says that [00:03:11] this is his plan, which he has been meditating on for a long time and which he will execute [00:03:14] as long as the Spanish courts apply [00:03:17] To show the outright rejection of the amnesty that the Spanish courts approved in their [00:03:20] day. He had not given an interview for more than a year and he is doing so now less than [00:03:25] such as the housing 2 years before the next Catalan elections. To decide the future, he says. [00:03:38] in order to understand exactly what is going on in Catalonia, but I know it's [00:03:42] not the same to smell, to touch, to feel, to [00:03:47] town of Pobladura de be among the people, that is my [00:03:50] first intention when I arrive some of [00:03:53] immersion, the reality to [00:03:57] to touch, to touch again, to feel. [00:04:03] Catalonia becomes the scene of the start of the political pre-campaign with [00:04:07] events with socialist and popular leaders and the PSC's [00:04:11] great mystery yet to be discovered rose festival. Pedro Sánchez has criticized Feijóo and Abascal, saying that they only [00:04:16] being from the CDU or the appear when they need electoral gains. Sánchez has also [00:04:19] radical left come out in defense of his management. Accept. An [00:04:22] information, an act of the socialists that Laura Catalan [00:04:25] is following. Good morning, [00:04:27] go ahead. [00:04:31] airport expansion Yes, a rose festival, which on this occasion, undoubtedly, has become [00:04:34] the kickoff for the campaign, the [00:04:38] Catalonia becomes the scene of [00:04:39] the tension is focused above all on the CDU's electoral pre-campaign with an eye on the 2027 elections, the municipal [00:04:42] and also the general elections. [00:04:46] Sánchez and Illa have focused their speeches on attacking a PP [00:04:50] that they see as subordinate to Vox. Salvador Illa has [00:04:53] asked Feijóo, who is visiting Catalonia today, what the [00:04:57] PP will do regarding financing, amnesty and [00:05:00] the official status of Catalan. For his part, Pedro Sánchez, who keeps [00:05:04] the unknown about when the general elections will be, [00:05:08] accuses the PP of being installed in the worst, [00:05:11] better in... the insult and considers that the socialists [00:05:15] predict that the socialists will achieve a good result [00:05:18] next year both in the municipal and in the [00:05:21] general elections. [00:05:23] We are going to win the municipal elections next May [00:05:27] 2027 and we are going to win the general elections next [00:05:30] year 2027 and I will tell you something, I will tell [00:05:34] you something, when we win them, what the [00:05:38] Popular Party will do is call for [00:05:40] early elections. [00:06:58] The Az Aeroport platform has called a demonstration in Barcelona rejecting [00:07:02] the expansion of El Prat airport due to its possible effects on the [00:07:06] Llobregat delta, the tourism model and also housing. After [00:07:09] the Council of Ministers approved the investments [00:07:13] for its expansion on Tuesday, a demonstration that Cori [00:07:16] Calero is following, go ahead Cori, good morning, [00:07:18] well [00:07:21] you see, this demonstration is now going down [00:07:24] Via Laietana, it started from Passeig de Gràcia and wants to reach [00:07:28] Plaça Sant Jaume, so far almost 6,000 [00:07:32] people have gathered according to the urban guard, which are [00:07:36] basically, not only airport entities, but also other [00:07:39] entities such as agricultural entities, social, [00:07:43] environmental, but also from the academic and scientific [00:07:46] world. In fact, what they are demanding is not only that natural [00:07:50] spaces and biodiversity would be damaged with this expansion, [00:07:53] but they say that global warming [00:07:56] would also be greatly aggravated, just in a summer that has been a record in [00:08:00] many climatic senses, but also what [00:08:03] they say is that this tourist overcrowding that this [00:08:06] city is suffering from would be greatly aggravated. The [00:08:10] demonstration will end in Plaça Sant Jaume and it is taking place just after [00:08:14] this week this airport regulation document was approved [00:08:17] that provides Catalonia [00:08:20] with some 1.7 billion euros throughout [00:08:23] Spain of some [00:08:25] 13,000. [00:08:29] the public to this project, because it would only [00:08:32] worsen some of the main problems we have in the country, [00:08:38] crisis, the ecological crisis and [00:08:41] the climate emergency. Tourist overcrowding, among [00:08:45] others. We are here to say that we are very concerned that the [00:08:48] academic community is not listening to us, that this [00:08:51] will have very serious consequences if airports are expanded not only here [00:08:55] in El Prat but throughout the Spanish state. We don't want more [00:08:59] emissions, we already have climate change that is quite serious [00:09:03] enough for us to still create more emissions in the area and [00:09:07] we have to protect our delta in every way, we have to [00:09:10] defend it. [00:09:12] Salvador Illa's investiture partners, Esquerra and Comuns, have participated in the [00:09:16] demonstration, as has the CUP, which focuses on tourist [00:09:20] overcrowding. From Comuns, they ask Pedro Sánchez to side with [00:09:24] the citizens, they say, while Esquerra demands [00:09:27] to stop the project and calls for the governance of the airport from Catalonia. [00:09:31] We want an infrastructure that [00:09:35] is not in accordance with the [00:09:37] and we ask and [00:09:41] demand that this [00:09:44] be stopped and also that we receive the powers to [00:09:47] manage the airport, which is so very [00:09:51] necessary. And I think it's a good moment to tell Sánchez [00:09:55] to reflect and not to choose the wrong side, whether he is on the side of those [00:09:58] who defend Feijóo and Abascal, which is the expansion of El Prat airport, [00:10:02] or he is on the side of the people and on the side of the territory of [00:10:05] Catalonia and the Baix Llobregat. It is absolutely clear to everyone [00:10:09] that Catalonia, a country suffocated by tourism, while a [00:10:13] third of Catalans cannot go on vacation, does not need the expansion of the airport. Cities like Palma have already [00:10:16] told us this and as we have already seen in Mallorca, we have seen it throughout [00:10:20] the Catalan Countries, [00:10:23] according to AENA, the capacity of the airport of... El Prat is 55 million [00:10:27] passengers per year, but it is already operating above this [00:10:30] figure. In this sense, the professor of transport at the [00:10:33] Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Francesc Robuster, points out [00:10:37] that the expansion of the airport is necessary and denounces that in recent years [00:10:41] AENA has made few investments, even though it is [00:10:44] the airport that brings it the most [00:10:46] profits. This year 2026 [00:10:50] we will finish with 60 million passengers and if we make [00:10:54] an extrapolation. in 2031, which is when Dora 3 [00:10:57] ends, if this [00:11:01] 5% growth is maintained, we will have [00:11:04] 77 million passengers with a capacity [00:11:07] of 55, which is unsustainable. I have already said that [00:11:11] what ENA proposes, which I say is intelligent because it is [00:11:14] the most pressing need, is [00:11:17] to expand 70,000 m2 of [00:11:20] T1, gaining space in the [00:11:23] parking lots at the back and, therefore, this, but [00:11:27] of course, we will have this in 2031, I will say that [00:11:29] we will suffer in this five-year period, [00:11:32] we will suffer. [00:11:34] Tonight, 30 Minuts broadcasts the report "The Earth Burns." Two [00:11:38] teams from the program have followed the simultaneous fires this summer [00:11:41] in Les Gavarres in northern Catalonia. Firefighters [00:11:44] warn that fires are faster and more unpredictable, and [00:11:48] this forces them to adapt to a new scenario marked by high [00:11:54] heat. The report also raises the importance of forest [00:11:58] management and the role of small-scale farming as natural [00:12:01] firebreaks. In the last 30 years, Catalonia has lost [00:12:04] 20% of its cultivated area. [00:12:08] At least two people have died and about [00:12:16] twenty have been injured in Moscow [00:12:19] and its entire region in an offensive with hundreds of drones that [00:12:23] Russia attributes to Ukraine. The operation has also affected the [00:12:26] oil refinery that had already been targeted in [00:12:30] other attacks. According to Russian authorities, anti-aircraft [00:12:34] defenses have shot down nearly 400 drones heading towards Moscow [00:12:38] and from there more than 1,600 have been neutralized [00:12:41] in different places. The mayor of the [00:12:44] capital, Sergei Sobyanin, has described the events as the most [00:12:48] intense drone attack on the capital and has assured that [00:12:51] the objective was to interrupt the last day of the parliamentary elections [00:12:55] that are being held this weekend. Ukraine, for [00:12:58] the moment, has not commented on these [00:13:00] events. [00:13:03] An election day in Russia also marked by electronic voting. The [00:13:07] Pacifist Party and Yabloko, banned by the [00:13:10] authorities, the communists and the opposition in exile have [00:13:13] called on the population to go out and vote. They do not trust [00:13:17] the electronic system and also assure that it is an instrument of mass [00:13:21] fraud by the Kremlin. They warn that in some polling stations [00:13:25] in Moscow there are no ballots and that more than 1,500 [00:13:28] representatives have not been able to access the polling [00:13:31] centers, as well as suffering threats. The polling stations [00:13:35] will close at 8 p.m. and counting will begin, although no [00:13:38] surprises are expected. The polls and forecasts indicate that [00:13:42] United Russia, Putin's party, will win again and exceed [00:13:45] 50% of the votes. [00:13:49] Today there are also elections in Germany in Berlin and in Western [00:13:52] Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The polls point to a strong [00:13:56] increase for the far-right Alternative for Germany, regional elections [00:13:59] that could further question the leadership [00:14:02] of Chancellor Scholz, if the CDU conservatives [00:14:06] obtain poor results, as happened in fact two [00:14:10] weeks ago in Saxony- Anhalt. [00:14:13] Since 8 in the morning, polling stations have been open here in Berlin [00:14:17] and also in Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania. And in fact, we can [00:14:20] already give you a first headline, which is that the far-right Alternative for Germany, according to the [00:14:24] polls, would double its results. The big difference is that [00:14:27] neither of the two places will be able to govern. In [00:14:31] Berlin, the novelty would be a new mayor, Ellieralp, a [00:14:34] German lawyer with Turkish roots, who could govern [00:14:38] for the first time without [00:14:41] SPD. She is part of the [00:14:44] Die Linke party. Her electoral [00:14:48] campaign has focused on issues such as rent, very important here in [00:14:51] Berlin, waste collection or the price [00:14:55] of public transport. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, there is a [00:14:59] neck and neck race between socialists and Alternative for Germany, but [00:15:04] results. If they fell below 5%, which the [00:15:07] polls currently do not suggest, but if they fell below [00:15:11] this 5%, they are at 6-7 depending on the poll, [00:15:14] the party could be left out of the regional parliament, and this would be a complete [00:15:18] defeat for the conservatives with consequences [00:15:21] here in Berlin. In fact, some consider that it could [00:15:25] lead to the replacement of the chancellor here in [00:15:28] the capital. The outcome of all this from [00:15:32] 6 o'clock. [00:15:39] In Tarragona, today is Castells day. The first Sunday of Santa Tecla [00:15:43] is celebrated and it is one of the most important exhibitions of the season in which [00:15:46] four groups participate with great desire to excel. [00:15:50] Ana Rius is following it. Ana, after these Castells [00:15:54] days that are increasingly demanding with these [00:15:58] high-level Castells, how is this day going so [00:16:01] far? [00:16:04] Well, we didn't know, we would have... if so [00:16:08] close to the Castells competition they would hold back, but for now they are [00:16:12] going all out. The three groups that will be in the top on [00:16:16] October 4th, this second round they have planned [00:16:19] Castells of Ten and the first ones to have achieved [00:16:22] it by dismantling. Other Castells of Ten have been the Castellers de [00:16:26] Vilafranca. The greens had, eh, they had made [00:16:29] history because in fact in this square on this day, only one [00:16:33] Castells of Ten had been dismantled until today and they had done it. [00:16:37] Castells, yes, in 2016, [00:16:40] also in the first round it has already left us with impressive [00:16:44] Castells and really well [00:16:46] executed, such as the four of [00:16:50] nine clean of the Colla Vella de Valls, the [00:16:54] total Castell is the sixth they have done this [00:16:57] season, but we also cannot lose sight [00:17:00] of the five of nine, the fourth that the Colla Jove Xiquets de [00:17:04] Tarragona does, this super-cathedral with... a lot of [00:17:07] dominance finally the Xiquets de [00:17:10] Tarragona who closed the first round with a five of nine, [00:17:14] the cathedral they have done, it was worked on, but [00:17:18] they really did it with solvency and it is the second they have done [00:17:21] this season and now we are expectant because [00:17:25] it is the turn of the Colla Jove Xiquets de Tarragona and it seems that [00:17:29] they are also going for the Castell de [00:17:30] Déu. [00:30:25] Carles Puigdemont assures that when he can return to Catalonia, the first thing he will do [00:30:29] is listen to the territory to decide his political future. He said this in [00:30:33] an interview with the British newspaper The Sunday Times, which is published [00:30:36] today. [00:30:41] the beginning of the political pre-campaign with events with socialist [00:30:44] and popular leaders. At the PSC's rose festival, Pedro Sánchez [00:30:47] accused Feijóo and Abascal [00:30:51] of appearing only when they need electoral gains.
