[00:00:00] the absolute majority in the Duma in parliament, pending
[00:00:04] definitive results, which could be known this Monday, and with a small
[00:00:07] part of the vote counted, United Russia would win, surpassing
[00:00:11] 57% of the votes in legislative elections marked
[00:00:15] by accusations of irregularities, restrictions
[00:00:17] on the opposition, and strong Kremlin control over the electoral
[00:00:21] process. These are the first legislative elections since the beginning of the invasion
[00:00:24] of Ukraine in a context of war and growing internal
[00:00:28] repression.
[00:00:30] Yes, the Kremlin has set in motion all its machinery to guarantee
[00:00:34] these undeniable results, because according to experts,
[00:00:37] it is only capable of
[00:00:40] This Monday is World Alzheimer's Day, falsifying between 20 and 30% of the votes. That's why it has
[00:00:44] spoke with Cristina Maragall, president of encouraged public workers to vote massively, they have been
[00:00:46] forced to vote massively for United Russia. It has also
[00:00:49] incentivized electronic voting like never before, which is easier to manipulate, and has
[00:00:53] hindered paper ballot voting and made life impossible for the representatives of
[00:00:57] opposition parties who have not stopped denouncing these very
[00:01:00] irregularities from the polling stations. Previously, it had also banned
[00:01:04] parties and candidates who either opposed the war or had
[00:01:08] gained too much popularity. And with all
[00:01:11] that, that's precisely the result: Putin's
[00:01:15] party, United Russia, will be able to revalidate its supermajority in
[00:01:18] parliament.
[00:01:21] And precisely on the last day of voting in Russia, the Moscow region has
[00:01:24] suffered one of the most serious Ukrainian drone attacks since the start of the war,
[00:01:28] according to Russian authorities. Three people have died and about
[00:01:32] twenty have been injured in various impacts against residential
[00:01:35] buildings. The attacks have also caused damage to the main
[00:01:39] refinery in the Moscow
[00:01:40] region.
[00:01:49] Catalonia has been this weekend the scene of the struggle between Pedro Sánchez
[00:01:53] and Alberto Núñez Feijóo, with the electoral cycle of 2027
[00:01:57] on the horizon. Immigration, the far-right, and the country's model
[00:02:00] have centered their speeches in a dispute for the support of
[00:02:05] maximums or reserve for the Tarracoarena Catalans. Pedro Sánchez has sought the warmth of
[00:02:08] Catalan socialists at a Rose Festival with all the airs of an electoral
[00:02:12] pre-campaign. The Spanish president cites Illa's management
[00:02:15] in favor of coexistence as an antidote against the confrontation,
[00:02:18] insult, and disloyalty of PP and
[00:02:21] Vox.
[00:02:26] Without revealing when the general elections will be, Sánchez...
[00:02:47] the penalty, it was the start of
[00:03:01] defend them is to say no to the expansion of The Socialist Party seeks to instill optimism while the countdown to
[00:03:05] Madrid occupies fourth place, six the elections advances, and amidst a social crisis, that of
[00:03:09] Ceuta, which threatens to destabilize Pedro
[00:03:18] Monday will make his fourth visit to Ceuta since the crisis
[00:03:22] erupted, has proclaimed that he will protect Spanish
[00:03:25] borders in an event in Badalona. Feijóo has criticized
[00:03:28] Sánchez's economic policy, especially his security and
[00:03:31] migratory policy. He has insisted on his proposal
[00:03:34] for expulsions, and if it bothers anyone that we remove
[00:03:39] five days of music. Before nationality from a repeat sexual offender, let them explain it to me, let them
[00:03:43] explain it to me, I will answer
[00:03:45] equally.
[00:03:48] The popular party sees change at Moncloa approaching, and Alberto Núñez
[00:03:52] Feijóo says they are counting on
[00:03:54] Catalonia.
[00:04:08] The PP leader adds that he will not play along with the separatists
[00:04:10] as Pedro Sánchez has
[00:04:19] silence, putting his political future back on the table in an interview
[00:04:23] with The Sunday Times. The former president assures that if he can
[00:04:26] return to Catalonia, he will travel the country before deciding
[00:04:30] whether to run in two years in the next Catalan
[00:04:32] elections. Carles Puigdemont states that if the
[00:04:36] Spanish judges apply the amnesty law to him and he can return, the
[00:04:40] first thing he will do is visit the territory. He knows that Catalonia has
[00:04:43] changed during these nine years of exile, but he wants to reconnect with his homeland to
[00:04:47] Regueras. The Scorpa make
[00:04:47] decisions.
[00:04:54] That is my first intention
[00:04:57] when I arrive, some immersion.
[00:05:07] In July, coinciding with the European Union Court's ruling
[00:05:10] that stated that...
[00:05:15] he spoke of a resounding victory, but added that now the game would no longer be played
[00:05:18] in Europe, it would be played at the Bernabéu in public and with the referee
[00:05:22] against them. Two months have passed and Puigdemont is already talking about his return
[00:05:25] plan. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that a few days ago, Judge Llarena issued a
[00:05:29] decision declaring the measures against Puigdemont
[00:05:32] reviewable, meaning he did not rule out withdrawing the arrest
[00:05:35] warrant. In this interview, the former president also says that when
[00:05:39] he returns, he would like to intervene in Parliament, of which
[00:05:43] he is still a deputy and in every plenary session there is a yellow
[00:05:46] ribbon on his
[00:05:47] desk.
[00:05:52] and on 3/24 we
[00:05:56] the Pasqual Maragall Foundation, about the challenges of the disease. Maragall
[00:06:00] also referred to the internal investigation by Esquerra Republicana
[00:06:03] for the posters against her father, Pasqual Maragall, and her
[00:06:07] brother, Ernest. The party, let's remember, has attributed responsibility to
[00:06:10] two former leaders and has apologized to... the family.
[00:06:14] We are talking about working against the stigma of the disease,
[00:06:17] and a campaign like this, which
[00:06:20] is utterly absurd, has only had a negative impact
[00:06:23] on this aspect. I believe that families, associations, all the people
[00:06:26] who have been working in this line for 35, 40 years,
[00:06:29] deserved an apology a long
[00:06:33] time ago.
[00:06:34] And
[00:06:38] an inmate at Quatre Camins died this morning by suicide with...
[00:06:42] This case brings the number of suicides in Catalan prisons this
[00:06:45] year to seven, when there are still three
[00:06:48] months left in the year, surpassing the figure for all of 2025.
[00:06:52] This inmate did not have the suicide prevention protocol activated, which
[00:06:55] the Department of Justice is already considering reviewing. It is a
[00:06:59] protocol that allows detecting inmates at risk, activating their
[00:07:03] monitoring, and applying protection measures. Unions are demanding more
[00:07:06] resources to attend to a population with increasingly
[00:07:10] mental health problems.
[00:07:14] The expansion of El Prat airport has once again brought thousands of people to
[00:07:18] the streets. The Zeroport platform and more than 200
[00:07:21] entities have protested in the center of Barcelona against the
[00:07:24] project, a few days after the Spanish government approved almost
[00:07:27] 1,800 million euros in investments for AENA, which allows
[00:07:31] the processing to advance. The demonstrators warn of the environmental
[00:07:34] and territorial impact and demand to stop
[00:07:36] the expansion.
[00:07:39] According to the urban guard, 6,000
[00:07:47] or ever. They denounce that it will greatly affect biodiversity, the
[00:07:51] Llobregat delta, but also that it will aggravate tourist overcrowding
[00:07:55] and the climate crisis. More than 200 social,
[00:07:58] environmental, and also agricultural and scientific
[00:08:02] organizations have joined. We do not want more emissions, we already have a
[00:08:05] climate change that is quite serious, we must protect our delta in
[00:08:09] any way, we must defend it, and one way to...
[00:08:14] El Prat airport, who are climate
[00:08:17] deniers,
[00:08:19] like the Generalitat, because it is inevitable that greenhouse gas
[00:08:23] emissions will increase by more than 40%. We know that
[00:08:27] it will be a long process, but today we hope it marks the first moment of a great
[00:08:30] protest and outright rejection, because this project will end up derailing. What
[00:08:34] we will do is organize this pressure, this public
[00:08:38] opposition, which is increasingly growing, as the surveys
[00:08:41] show. And this demonstration comes just this
[00:08:45] week, in which the state has approved the airport regulation
[00:08:48] document, which allocates to Catalonia for
[00:08:51] airport expansions almost 1.8 billion
[00:08:54] euros for the entire State. Cori and
[00:08:57] Calero López TV3 Barcelona.
[00:09:01] The expansion of El Prat still has many details to be finalized. The master
[00:09:05] plan must define how the 500-meter extension of the runway
[00:09:08] will be materialized and how the Ricarda spaces
[00:09:11] will be preserved. To analyze what the project implies
[00:09:15] and what options are on the table, we have spoken with an airport
[00:09:18] infrastructure specialist.
[00:09:22] Only 1% of aircraft require this length
[00:09:25] greater than 2.60 meters. The rest
[00:09:29] of the aircraft, including the largest
[00:09:32] wide-body aircraft, which account for 6% of the
[00:09:36] total, the remaining
[00:09:39] 5% of the total can use the short runway.
[00:09:43] Centrifuge some, not all, of the low-cost
[00:09:46] operations to Girona and Reus.
[00:09:49] A package of measures
[00:09:52] — it is not necessary
[00:09:55] to expand so much, perhaps a few hundred meters
[00:09:59] yes, but it is not necessary to expand these 500
[00:10:00] meters.
[00:10:03] And beyond Barcelona, where they have also demonstrated against the expansion of their
[00:10:07] airports, is in Palma, in Ibiza. This summer alone, almost a
[00:10:10] dozen demonstrations have been called
[00:10:13] against the current tourism model in the Balearic Islands. This afternoon in
[00:10:16] Palma, Catarina Carmany was there. A demonstration
[00:10:20] against the expansion of the airports in the Balearic Islands, but also against the
[00:10:24] tourism promotion of the Balearic government, which is what they demand:
[00:10:28] to curb tourism, to curb new air
[00:10:31] routes, to curb the number of private jets landing
[00:10:35] on the islands, and also to ban early morning
[00:10:38] flights. AENA approves an investment of one billion
[00:10:42] euros over the next four years for the expansion of these airports and
[00:10:46] this will undoubtedly mean much more
[00:10:49] tourism, more congestion, and more destruction of the
[00:10:53] territory.
[00:10:55] AENA is lying to us again. In 2019, it lied to us, saying that there would not
[00:10:59] be an increase in passengers, and we have gone from
[00:11:03] 29 to 34 million passengers. I ask for a little
[00:11:07] respect so that from 11 to 2 o'clock there are no planes,
[00:11:10] and well, I would like to come every two minutes, planes take off,
[00:11:14] and it is difficult to reconcile
[00:11:17] sleep.
[00:11:25] Eight extra-grade castells this first Sunday of Santa Tecla
[00:11:28] in Tarragona. Among the most outstanding, the 3 of 10 with Folre and
[00:11:32] Manilles that the Castellers de Vilafranca have once again dismantled 10
[00:11:35] years later. A high-level day just two weeks
[00:11:39] before the Castells competition.
[00:11:42] 10 years later, the festival of the first Sunday of the festivities once again sees
[00:11:46] a castell de deu dismantled, just like in
[00:11:49] 2016. The Castellers de Vilafranca have been in charge of doing
[00:11:52] it, signing their best performance.
[00:12:03] Manilles that they had already loaded for Sant Fèlix, but they hadn't raised it
[00:12:07] in this Tarragona festival for 10 years. The
[00:12:10] Colla Jove de Tarragona has planned the 10 tiers in the
[00:12:14] second round with the aim of completing their second 3 of
[00:12:17] 10 of the season, but it remained an attempt when the children
[00:12:21] were climbing. With 15 days to go until the grand final of the Castells
[00:12:25] competition, the big doubt today was whether the colles would go for
[00:12:30] final. Well, the numbers say it all: eight
[00:12:34] castells of maximum difficulty that began as soon as the square
[00:12:38] opened with the complete castell, the clean four of nine that the
[00:12:41] old colla built in the first round. Immediately after, the greens also
[00:12:45] completed a very elaborate three of nine with folre and agulla.
[00:12:49] The young colla of Tarragona also did not fall behind, dismantling their
[00:12:52] fourth super-cathedral of the...
[00:13:03] a shower of extra-grade constructions that was completed with a solid five of nine with folre from Vilafranca and with two eight-tier pillars, the one crowned by the
[00:13:06] Vella de Valls and the one from Vilafranca, who today
[00:13:10] dismantled all the castells they brought to the square. A
[00:13:13] feat that the xiquets of Tarragona also achieved, completing their
[00:13:17] best performance of the season and achieving their great objective:
[00:13:20] the magical triplet. They started with a five of
[00:13:24] eight. with a four of nine, but the culminating moment came in the
[00:13:28] second round with the three of nine, a castell that had resisted
[00:13:31] them and that they dismantled with effort and epic,
[00:13:34] unleashing the euphoria of the
[00:22:21] Greetings, Germany. Chancellor Friedrich Merz has suffered a significant
[00:22:24] electoral setback in this Sunday's regional elections.
[00:22:27] According to polls in Mecklenburg-Western
[00:22:31] Pomerania, the CDU has fallen to 4.9%,
[00:22:34] which is below the 5% threshold required to enter the
[00:22:37] regional parliament. Although the
[00:22:41] count has not yet finished confirming the result, it would be the
[00:22:44] first time in Germany's history since World War II that the
[00:22:48] conservatives would be out of a regional parliament. The far-
[00:22:52] right Alternative for Germany, on the other hand, is expected to win
[00:22:55] with 38% of the votes and would practically double its previous
[00:22:59] results.
[00:23:01] And in Berlin, another headline of the day, the left-wing
[00:23:04] Die Linke has achieved an unprecedented victory. These
[00:23:08] are figures that do not hide, however, the CDU's setback in these
[00:23:11] elections, with results that Merz himself has described as a
[00:23:15] disaster. Nevertheless, this afternoon, when the polls gave him entry to
[00:23:19] Parliament by a narrow margin, the chancellor has ruled out resigning,
[00:23:23] assuring that he would continue at the head of the government, Jordi
[00:23:27] Ragas explains from Berlin. Just after the polls were released,
[00:23:30] the Chancellor came out and made a statement in which he
[00:23:34] confirmed that he remains at the head of the government
[00:23:38] and at the head of the party. The other headline of the
[00:23:42] day, without a doubt, is Alternative for Germany,
[00:23:45] the far-right continues to grow, having doubled its
[00:23:48] results both in Western
[00:23:52] as well as in Berlin, a progression that seems unstoppable. And
[00:23:56] finally, the results here in Berlin, in the capital of Die Linke, where
[00:24:00] the CDU cedes the mayoralty to the radical left-wing party
[00:24:03] Die Linke, with this candidate of Turkish
[00:24:07] origin, this German lawyer of Turkish origin, Elith Eralp, who has
[00:24:11] made history because, in a way, it's the first time in the history of
[00:24:15] the city of Berlin that a party that is neither the CDU nor the
[00:24:18] SPD has won.
[00:24:28] all in a difficult situation, but we
[00:24:31] take this responsibility, I
[00:24:34] take this responsibility, because I want to move our country
[00:24:38] forward. Our shared
[00:24:41] vision of an affordable Berlin, in which
[00:24:45] all people, no matter where they come from, no matter what they
[00:24:48] believe, no matter who they love, and no matter how much income they
[00:24:52] have, this shared vision has
[00:24:55] won, my
[00:24:56] dears.
[00:25:00] and more elections in Russia, where Vladimir Putin's party
[00:25:04] revalidates its absolute majority in the Duma, in Parliament, pending
[00:25:07] definitive results, which could be known this Monday, and with a
[00:25:11] small part of the vote counted, United Russia would win, surpassing
[00:25:15] 57% of the votes in legislative elections marked
[00:25:18] by accusations of irregularities, restrictions on
[00:25:22] the opposition, and strong Kremlin control over the electoral
[00:25:25] process. These are the first legislative elections since the beginning of the invasion
[00:25:28] of Ukraine in a context of war and growing internal
[00:25:31] repression.
[00:25:34] Yes, the Kremlin has set in motion all its machinery to guarantee
[00:25:38] these undeniable results, because according to experts,
[00:25:40] it is only capable of falsifying between 20 and
[00:25:44] 30% of the votes. That's why it has encouraged public workers
[00:25:48] to vote massively. They were forced to vote massively for
[00:25:52] United Russia, and it has also incentivized electronic voting like never before, which
[00:25:55] is easier to manipulate, and has obstructed paper ballot voting and made
[00:25:59] life impossible for the representatives of opposition parties who... have not stopped
[00:26:03] denouncing these very irregularities from the polling
[00:26:06] stations. Previously, it had also banned parties and candidates who either
[00:26:10] opposed the war or had gained too much
[00:26:13] popularity. And despite all that, that is precisely
[00:26:17] the result: Putin's party, United Russia, will be able
[00:26:20] to revalidate its supermajority in
[00:26:22] parliament.
[00:26:24] And precisely on the last day of voting in Russia, the Moscow region has
[00:26:28] suffered one of the most serious Ukrainian drone attacks since the start of the war.
[00:26:32] According to Russian authorities, three people have died and about twenty have
[00:26:36] been injured in various impacts against residential
[00:26:39] buildings. The attacks have also caused damage to the main
[00:26:42] refinery in the Moscow
[00:26:43] region.
[00:26:53] Catalonia has been this weekend the scene of the struggle between Pedro
[00:26:57] Sánchez and Alberto Núñez Feijóo, with the 2027 electoral cycle
[00:27:00] on the horizon, immigration. The far-right and the country's model have
[00:27:04] focused their speeches on a dispute for the support of
[00:27:08] Catalans. Pedro Sánchez has sought the warmth of
[00:27:12] Catalan socialists at a Rose Festival with all the airs of
[00:27:15] an electoral pre-campaign. The Spanish president sets Illa's management as an example
[00:27:19] in favor of coexistence as an antidote against the confrontation,
[00:27:22] insults, and disloyalty of PP and
[00:27:25] Vox.
[00:27:30] Without revealing when the elections will be.
[00:28:05] The socialist party seeks to instill optimism while the countdown
[00:28:09] to the elections advances, and in the middle of a social crisis, that of
[00:28:12] Ceuta that threatens to destabilize Pedro
[00:28:22] Monday will make his fourth visit to Ceuta since the crisis
[00:28:25] erupted, has proclaimed that he will protect Spanish borders
[00:28:28] in an event in Badalona. Feijó has criticized the policy.
[00:29:11] The leader of the PP adds that he will not play into the hands of the
[00:29:14] independentists as Pedro Sánchez
[00:30:35] Western, the Chancellor's party Merkel's CDU has suffered
[00:30:39] a blow and could be left out of the regional Parliament
[00:30:42] in Berlin, the radical left-wing party Die Linke wins
[00:30:46] in an unprecedented
[00:30:47] victory.
[00:30:50] The arrival in Catalonia of the Spanish political leaders, Pedro Sánchez and
[00:30:54] Salvador Illa at the Rose Festival in Gavà vindicate socialism to face
[00:30:58] the right and the far-right. Feijó, from Badalona, says that
[00:31:02] as...
