00:00:04Praia da Vitória campsite on
00:00:15Those who requested a re-evaluation of their exams should know the results
00:00:18tomorrow, but the SOS movement, public school, fears that
00:00:22this will not happen.
00:00:26Bad weather in the Azores causes floods, forcing the evacuation
00:00:30of dozens of people from a campsite. I
00:00:32prefer to reach an agreement because I don't
00:00:35want to kill people, that statement
00:00:39is from Donald Trump who again talks about an understanding
00:00:43with Iran and today
00:00:46is the day the 25 de Abril Bridge turns 60. The afternoon news will begin on
00:00:50RTP-1, RTP
00:00:53notícias, RTP África and RTP
00:00:58to Mundo.
00:01:12100 units per day to
00:01:15Good afternoon, welcome. Tomorrow is the day the results of the
00:01:18re-evaluation of exams are released, but the SOS Public School movement
00:01:21believes that this will not happen. Today
00:01:25is the deadline for applications for access to higher education, but
00:01:28those who requested a review have three more days to
00:01:32apply.
00:01:35There are already more registered applicants than in the entire first phase last year. The
00:01:39General Directorate of Higher Education counted on
00:01:41Tuesday almost 55,000
00:01:44applications, numbers that exceed the
00:01:4749,595
00:01:49enrolled in the first phase last year. This
00:01:53year there are more than 56 thousand vacancies, plus
00:01:56834 compared to 2025.
00:02:00On the first day of this year's competition, only 304
00:02:04students had formalized their application, much lower than the
00:02:0710,000 who had done so on the first day of last year's
00:02:10competition, numbers that can be justified by the doubts students
00:02:14had regarding the first phase grades. The
00:02:17results of the re-evaluations and second phase exams will be
00:02:21known this Friday, but teachers continue to be
00:02:25surprised by the
00:02:27that the dictatorship officialized correction of more items, as is the case of the teacher.
00:02:30who initially had 61 items to grade, but on the
00:02:34last day found more responses to
00:02:37correct. On August 4th, which was the last day
00:02:40we had to grade the items, around
00:02:441 pm, more or less, when I returned
00:02:47to finish that whole grading process that had been
00:02:51handed to me, I was missing six items and
00:02:54I found 11 more items on the platform to
00:02:58grade. I tried to get an answer, even because I had to
00:03:02postpone my vacation to complete the grades, but to no
00:03:05avail. I started my vacation yesterday, I hope,
00:03:08and now I will be until the end of the month and
00:03:11I extended it through September, the days
00:03:15that I didn't enjoy
00:03:18now. What happens with all this, look, we have family, all
00:03:22of us have family, we have the right, vacations are a right, obviously,
00:03:26this ends up distorting the dynamic,
00:03:30the family dynamic. The platform, in the first two to
00:03:33three days, because on the third day we still received reports, was
00:03:37intermittent, so sometimes they could access it, sometimes they couldn't
00:03:40access it. And the errors
00:03:43repeat themselves. We're talking about colleagues who ended up staying
00:03:47effectively on duty again, giving up their vacations,
00:03:50and to this day have never received a
00:03:54single test. We're talking about Portuguese teachers waiting for
00:03:57tests, people working with machines, waiting for the
00:04:01tests to fall into their lap so they can proceed with the
00:04:05Assisi, reminding them that grading and they can't do it. The SOS Public School movement
00:04:09fears that the results will not be released this
00:04:13Friday. RTP knows that until the end of yesterday,
00:04:16there were still teachers who were correcting more
00:04:20items. It will probably happen again, the same situation
00:04:24that already occurred in the first phase, which
00:04:28is that there will be students who will not see
00:04:30their grade, the real grade, or whose grade will not
00:04:34sending out on roads for which we do not appear. Teachers are in a race against time. The
00:04:37Minister of Education is still under
00:04:39fire. The
00:04:436-month delay in bad weather in the Azores forced the evacuation of 67
00:04:45company was unable to people from the campsite of Praia da Vitória on Terceira Island.
00:04:48Dozens are housed in a school. The storm also caused
00:04:52a landslide and several floods. Today there is already an
00:04:55Orange Alert for the islands of the
00:04:57ES, the environmental company in Central and Eastern groups.
00:05:00It was a night of strong meteorological instability in the
00:05:03Azores. A succession of
00:05:06employee was only lightning lit up the sky for several hours. There was
00:05:09intense rain and thunderstorms in the archipelago.
00:05:1347 people had to be evacuated from the
00:05:16Terceira Island. They were rehoused in a school,
00:05:20including a group of young people returning from a
00:05:22party. We were at the party,
00:05:26when we arrived, everyone was already here on the street to go to
00:05:30the vocational school. We wanted to go to our tent, they let us go, but
00:05:33when we arrived at the park, they were evacuating all the people.
00:05:37We went to our tent, it wasn't raining at all inside our tent, everything was fine.
00:05:41They forced us to leave. They were tearing down the barriers for those who didn't want to leave
00:05:45so they couldn't enter the park anymore. And now
00:05:48today is the best sunny day we've had this
00:05:52year at the beach parties and we have to stay outside waiting until noon to be able to
00:05:56go to the tent. Precautions to ensure the
00:05:59safety of everyone. On several islands, electrical discharges
00:06:03were practically continuous in an episode of bad weather that left
00:06:07some incidents, including floods in several
00:06:10houses and at least one... landslide on a road. The
00:06:14regional civil protection and fire department recommends that the
00:06:17population follow the information and adopt
00:06:21self-protection measures, avoiding unnecessary
00:06:24travel. The Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere
00:06:28maintains the Central and Eastern groups of islands under
00:06:31Orange Alert due to the forecast of heavy rain and
00:06:35thunderstorms.
00:06:38During the night and morning, 19,000
00:06:42electrical discharges were recorded in the central and eastern groups of the Azores Archipelago.
00:06:46The island most affected by the strong thunderstorm was
00:06:49Pico. In the IPMA lightning detection network,
00:06:53we recorded about 19,000 electrical discharges in the
00:06:57central and eastern groups,
00:07:00from 10 pm yesterday to 10 am this morning, so from
00:07:0410 pm yesterday to 10 am this morning. The island with the most
00:07:08electrical discharges, even right over the island, we are right over the island, was
00:07:11here. where we recorded
00:07:15188 electrical discharges from cloud to
00:07:19ground and therefore they reached the island and 226 electrical
00:07:23discharges over Pico island from cloud to cloud, therefore without
00:07:26reaching the ground. This happens because the temperature and humidity in
00:07:30August are both very high. On the other hand, there is already atmospheric
00:07:34instability and this instability, together with high relative
00:07:37humidity and high temperature, makes it favorable for the formation of
00:07:41large vertically developing clouds, which are the ones that cause
00:07:44thunderstorms. The National Health Service spent
00:07:4721 million euros less on temporary workers and overtime.
00:07:50Overtime expenses for NHS doctors dropped by
00:07:5312.9%. Expenses with service provider
00:07:57doctors also decreased by 6.3%. The
00:08:01regulation of medical services in the NHS
00:08:04has been one of the government's objectives. The
00:08:08decree-law of June 17 establishes
00:08:11new contracting rules, at the same time it
00:08:15creates incentives for supplementary work by doctors to ensure more
00:08:18stability in emergency services. The numbers show
00:08:22that between 2025 and 2026 there was a reduction
00:08:25in the number of extraordinary hours, which corresponded to a 12.9%
00:08:29decrease in expenditure, a reduction
00:08:32that is also observed in the case of service provider doctors with
00:08:36a 6.3% decrease in
00:08:38expenditure. Among the specialties that most use
00:08:42extraordinary hours are internal medicine, general surgery
00:08:46and general and family medicine. In the case of
00:08:49internal medicine and intensive medicine, there was even an
00:08:52increase in the number of hours and expenditure between 2025 and
00:08:552026. The local health units of
00:08:59Coimbra, São José and Santa Maria are the ones that record the most
00:09:02supplementary work hours, Algarve and Médio Tejo are the ones that
00:09:06most resort to service
00:09:08providers.
00:09:12Blood donor associations guarantee that hundreds of donations are
00:09:16wasted due to collection cancellations, all due to lack of
00:09:19human resources at the Blood Institute, this in summer,
00:09:23the main period of drop in
00:09:26reserves.
00:09:28The associations speak of several collections canceled
00:09:32since May, now worsened as usual during the
00:09:35holiday period. Hundreds that they say
00:09:38are wasted. Even last Saturday in Rio
00:09:41Maior. a blood collection that initially had
00:09:4590 registered donors,
00:09:47the Lisbon Blood Center decided
00:09:50to reduce that blood collection to 60 donors, on the
00:09:53day it only brought equipment, material and professionals for
00:09:5750 and this
00:10:00means that about 30 people left without being able to donate
00:10:03blood. This is happening across the country, they assure, despite
00:10:07official appeals for donation with hospitals in
00:10:10a crisis of reserves, to have the blood they need,
00:10:14namely in the city of Lisbon, namely in the city, in the
00:10:17Algarve and even in the north. I have
00:10:20we have seen a lot on social networks, Hospital São João, Hospital
00:10:24Santo António. Something that was not
00:10:26usual. The Portuguese Institute of Blood and Transplantation does
00:10:30not hide that there are difficulties, like transversally all public
00:10:34administration in Portugal, obviously
00:10:37that if we are talking about human resources and especially in the health
00:10:41area, but waste of donations no,
00:10:44we always try to reschedule for sessions with a greater number of donors,
00:10:47guarantees the director of the institute in Porto, the center that collects
00:10:5140% of the total of 60 under the responsibility of the IPS.
00:10:55in the country. In the first semester, only 23 of the more than
00:10:58800 scheduled sessions were postponed, a problem
00:11:02where he emphasizes there are actually two sides of the coin. For the
00:11:05first six months of the year, the
00:11:08organizers postponed 49 sessions, obviously
00:11:12that lack of resources and the difficulty of
00:11:16molecularization of donors, of facilities, of the dynamics
00:11:19specific to each place is not only transversal
00:11:23the institutes, it is also. transversal to the
00:11:26associative movement at this time with low reserves as in previous
00:11:29years it is important to know how to best contribute. Health units
00:11:33need more than
00:11:37maintain assistance. The case of A and B positive
00:11:41and negative blood types have reserve values, the goal is to have 7
00:11:44days below these values, and therefore the reminder to donors that
00:11:48they should make their donation is very important
00:11:51and they can find out where to do so at donor.
00:11:55PT with collection locations at this time even in
00:11:58bathing areas and on the Institute's website,
00:12:01to confirm beforehand if they meet the conditions for
00:12:05donating.
00:12:0970 workers fired from a shoe factory in Gaia,
00:12:13without prior notice. Report, shortly on the afternoon
00:12:17news.
00:12:20Families invested almost 300 million euros in the new
00:12:24Treasury Certificates, a new series available monthly, with
00:12:28improved interest rates, attracted the savings of
00:12:318,300 investors.
00:12:34When deciding where to put their savings, many families
00:12:38chose the new Treasury Certificates,
00:12:42which have only been on sale for a month, raising almost
00:12:45298 million euros from
00:12:498,300 savers. The data
00:12:52was sent to RTP by the Ministry of Finance, which
00:12:55highlights the values achieved. The balance
00:12:58of this first month of commercialization of savings
00:13:02certificates is quite positive, demonstrating
00:13:05attractiveness and confidence in IGCP savings
00:13:08products. The average subscription value was
00:13:12approximately 28.2 thousand euros. This
00:13:15means that, as intended, this product
00:13:19managed to attract the savings of small savers. The
00:13:22minimum value to invest in the new
00:13:25certificates is 100 euros, the maximum is 1 million. This
00:13:29means that the investor or saver profile for this product
00:13:32is not, perhaps, the most traditional family. We are talking
00:13:36about savers with a higher purchasing power,
00:13:40with the intention, probably, of keeping it until the end of the product, because the interest rates
00:13:43are increasing as time passes. This state
00:13:47savings product has several levels of
00:13:50profitability, starting at 2.35%,
00:13:54it increases until it reaches the last level,
00:13:573.35%. On average, the return is
00:14:012.71%. One thing is certain, Portuguese people continue
00:14:05to be afraid of investing and losing
00:14:08savings. I think there is above all an aversion to applying
00:14:11money in products they don't know, but it is evident that this would be
00:14:15or will certainly be the best way to
00:14:19protect savings, protect money that was not spent
00:14:22from the erosion that inflation causes. It has been causing it over the
00:14:26years. In June, Portuguese families had more than
00:14:29200 million euros in deposits in
00:14:32banks, which is the highest amount
00:14:35ever.
00:14:37And there are 60 workers from the Pontual shoe factory
00:14:41in Gaia who were fired without prior
00:14:44notice. July salaries and holiday subsidies were not paid.
00:14:48Since Saturday, employees have been at the company's
00:14:52doorstep.
00:14:55Here in shifts, since Friday,
00:14:58July 31st, 5 p.m., when production stopped
00:15:02at this shoe factory in Gaia, by order of the
00:15:05owner, with a justification. The
00:15:10operate, that it had no money and that it would file for
00:15:14insolvency. Carla worked in the purchasing department of the
00:15:18factory and therefore knew about the financial problems.
00:15:21Including, they started blocking some material suppliers.
00:15:26demanding ready payment to
00:15:29release materials. Jorge
00:15:32was the administrator's right-hand man, but he didn't expect the
00:15:36dismissals. we were all fooled
00:15:39until the last minute and
00:15:42there are no words and among people
00:15:45who are without salary
00:15:48to eat, pay rent, they have children to
00:15:52support, I have my feet in a wheelchair, I bought a van for us to drive around
00:15:55paying 200 euros a month for 10 years and it's
00:15:59difficult, I have a daughter looking at her mother and it's difficult, just waiting to
00:16:03see, I have to wait to see if I have the right to receive
00:16:07unemployment benefits. I receive, I'm already registered,
00:16:10I already receive the money from Viabués, but it's not a
00:16:13fortune either. 60 workers, 60 life
00:16:16stories to resolve. The company was
00:16:19founded 78 years ago, remained family-owned until
00:16:232022 when it was sold to Nuno Romão, he
00:16:26took over a company full to the brim,
00:16:29of everything, without any debts,
00:16:33machines paid, materials paid, everything, everything, everything
00:16:36paid. She worked for 46 years at Pontual,
00:16:39has been retired since May, but still has
00:16:43adjustments to receive, holidays,
00:16:45Christmas bonus and training hours
00:16:48that he should have paid and did not
00:16:51pay. It's more than 2,000 euros, but for the
00:16:5560 employees, the debt exceeds
00:16:58100,000. They will only leave here, they say, after being
00:17:01sure that the machinery will be
00:17:04sold at auction and they will be paid everything
00:17:07they are entitled to. RTP tried to speak with the owner of the
00:17:11factory, who keeps his cell phone
00:17:14turned off. One of the detainees from the ship
00:17:17where 5 tons of
00:17:21cocaine were found dead. Prison guards believe that the
00:17:24Indian citizen, who was part of the crew, was
00:17:28cooperating with the authorities.
00:17:31He was found dead on Wednesday morning
00:17:34in cell 43 of this
00:17:37annex to the judicial police. It was when the
00:17:40prison guards were counting the inmates. The Indian, who
00:17:44was part of the crew of this cargo ship, was
00:17:48alone in a cell. It was requested by the judicial
00:17:51police inspectors that he remain alone in a cell. And why was it
00:17:55requested for him to be alone
00:17:58in a cell? Normally, when requests are made by
00:18:01either the court or criminal police bodies,
00:18:05one of two things: either his life is in danger, or he is cooperating with the
00:18:08authorities. When you say life is in danger, in what sense can that
00:18:12happen? The danger to life could also be in the sense that someone is
00:18:16cooperating with an investigation and the other, the other
00:18:18detainees do not want him to cooperate and
00:18:22harm him. That's why we suspect that he might have
00:18:26been cooperating with the judicial police. The judicial
00:18:28police do not confirm this information, but RTP knows that it was
00:18:32through this Indian that some drugs were found
00:18:36hidden in the hold of the cargo ship, more than
00:18:40a ton hidden right at the
00:18:42bottom near the hull. In the cells, there is no
00:18:45video surveillance and rounds are carried out by half the
00:18:49guards that should be there, says the
00:18:51national union. At night, usually two or three guards are on duty, there should be
00:18:55six or seven guards. Was that what happened on the night the man died?
00:18:59Yes, yes.
00:19:02150, at this moment, is little, very
00:19:06little, it is the capacity of the establishment, but it is very
00:19:09under capacity. As RTP reported yesterday, in
00:19:12a first-hand report, the General Directorate for Reintegration and Prison
00:19:15Services stated that an internal inquiry will be conducted to
00:19:19ascertain the circumstances in which the incident occurred. The other
00:19:23two detainees were brought before a judge, one is an Italian
00:19:26citizen, the other a Colombian, they will
00:19:29be linked to the five tons of cocaine removed
00:19:33from this ship in Sines. This year,
00:19:362026, although we are only at the beginning of
00:19:40August, that is, we still have a few months ahead
00:19:43until the end of the year,
00:19:46a quantity of cocaine has already been seized
00:19:49that is superior to the total seized during the entire
00:19:53year of 2025. The merchant
00:19:56ship followed its planned route, it went to
00:20:00Tangier.
00:20:04As we just heard, in 7 months and a few days of this year,
00:20:07more tons of cocaine have already been seized than in all of last
00:20:11year. Authorities say they are more vigilant, but that
00:20:15there is also more production and more sale of this
00:20:18drug.
00:20:21The year began with an absolute record at sea, almost 10
00:20:25tons of cocaine seized in the
00:20:27Azores. The largest cocaine seizure ever
00:20:31made in national territory. They were
00:20:34in a narco-submarine. It's more difficult to detect. A
00:20:38semi-submersible that is 15 meters long than a merchant ship
00:20:41260 meters long, despite being complex, the projection of a
00:20:45team by helicopter to a merchant
00:20:47ship is not as complex as the
00:20:51projection of a team to a semi-submersible. It was indeed
00:20:54a complex operation that only happens with cooperation between
00:20:58military police. There are tactical issues that cannot be
00:21:02revealed, but the Navy used
00:21:06assets from its naval component of the force system,
00:21:09namely its patrol and inspection capability,
00:21:12its force projection capability, its command and
00:21:15control capability, to support this type of
00:21:19operation, to support the judicial police. Are we more attentive?
00:21:22Yes, we have an obligation to be more attentive. The channels of cooperation
00:21:25and articulation, both national and
00:21:28international, are increasingly
00:21:31working better.
00:21:34There is also more cocaine production and consequently
00:21:37a much higher sales
00:21:41volume. A few days ago, several bales of cocaine washed
00:21:44ashore on the Alentejo coast, south of the Troia
00:21:47peninsula, in an investigation that is now handled by the PJ with
00:21:51exclusive competence for drug trafficking. All
00:21:55diligence is demanding, delicate
00:21:58and not always with the desired result. In
00:22:01October, during a GNR approach, the Republican National
00:22:04Guard vessel was rammed. One
00:22:07military member died, three others were injured.
00:22:11We generically have the cocaine
00:22:14routes coming from South America and the
00:22:18hashish routes coming from North Africa, and
00:22:21therefore, many times these speedboats
00:22:24choose a determined location where they receive
00:22:28the drug product from one or another vessel and then
00:22:32very quickly carry out discharges along the
00:22:35coast. A source from the GNR revealed to RDP that more than
00:22:3915 tons of narcotics have already been seized only
00:22:43in 2026. Among those detained and accused, the
00:22:46guard already registers 21 people.
00:22:51A Moldovan citizen was arrested by the PSP in Reguengos de
00:22:55Monçarás in Alentejo for human trafficking.
00:22:58That was the reason for the international warrant issued by
00:23:01Moldova. The 31-year-old man is accused of a
00:23:05human trafficking crime between February
00:23:082024 and August of last year. The PSP
00:23:12states in the indictment that with the help of another suspect, they recruited a
00:23:16citizen in Moldova who brought him to Portugal
00:23:20with promises of work that was illegal.
00:23:23The victim was forced to do agricultural work and was
00:23:27also physically assaulted. The detainee was presented to the
00:23:30Évora Court, which ordered preventive
00:23:33detention, where he awaits at this time an extradition
00:23:37decision. In his country of origin, he faces a crime with a
00:23:40sentence of up to 18 years in
00:23:43prison.
00:23:45The army opened a disciplinary process against the former executive
00:23:49director of the SNS, Gândara de Almeida resigned after
00:23:53his previous accumulation of functions as director of INEM in the North
00:23:57became known. The General Inspectorate of Health
00:24:01Activities concluded that the military officer did not comply with the
00:24:04Institute's rules, nor the rules on
00:24:07impediments in the position of executive director
00:24:10of the National Health
00:24:12Service.
00:24:17Shortly, we will look back at the memory of the
00:24:2025 de Abril Bridge, which turns
00:24:2360
00:24:24today.
00:24:30After several days threatening a large-scale attack
00:24:34against Iran, Donald Trump now says he prefers to reach an
00:24:38understanding than repeat deadly
00:24:41military attacks.
00:24:44After several days threatening the biggest attack ever since
00:24:47World War II at a rally.
00:25:50Iranians are extraordinarily difficult people, number two,
00:25:54they have a fractured system, so there are people within their system who want
00:25:57the war to be over, there are also people within their system who are crazy radicals
00:26:01who want the war to... For now and with no prospects for dialogue between
00:26:05the United States and Iran, the only progress is precisely in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:26:09Iran and Oman are preparing a joint statement after the understanding
00:26:12reached on navigation in those waters. The terms of the agreement
00:26:16have not yet been officially disclosed, but what little is
00:26:19known already raises concerns. Eight
00:26:23of the world's largest shipping associations signed a letter
00:26:26addressed to the United Nations and the International Maritime
00:26:29Organization, warning about the risks of applying tolls in the
00:26:33Strait of Hormuz, saying that these fees constitute
00:26:37a threat to the freedom of navigation, and
00:26:39at the limit they can even jeopardize world economic
00:26:43stability.
00:26:46Three people died in eastern Ukraine after a
00:26:49Russian attack on residential areas. There were also
00:26:53three more dead and 19 wounded
00:26:56in the north of the country.
00:27:00A week has passed since tens of thousands of people entered
00:27:04Ceuta, there is a humanitarian crisis in the Spanish enclave in North
00:27:07Africa, the population is divided between solidarity support for
00:27:10immigrants and episodes
00:27:13of violence.
00:27:16For a week, the population of Ceuta has almost doubled with the
00:27:20illegal entry of 72 thousand people. Most have already
00:27:24returned to Morocco, but the problems
00:27:26persist.
00:27:32world has,
00:27:35has supplies so they can eat, drink, we have been and
00:27:39continue to be in a situation where
00:27:42there is no, no merchandise, no necessary things for life
00:27:46such as water, bread, and when there is no water or bread, there
00:27:50are those who try to take justice into their own hands, the Spanish
00:27:53newspaper El País reveals the existence of true
00:27:57neighborhood militias, they are groups of residents organized by
00:28:00WhatsApp who carry out patrols.
00:28:05civilians under the motto "clean up the city," they prevent immigrants from entering certain streets with
00:28:08the use of physical force, and in the end
00:28:11we entered there and found it was dry there, they brought us in
00:28:15there, they mistreated us, they left us hungry, there was no food or
00:28:19anything, they hit people, they cut people, there was no one to talk to them,
00:28:22the people of Ceuta are not Moroccans and they live there in Ceuta,
00:28:26they hit him, they hit people, they cut people
00:28:29as if people were insects or Despite
00:28:33this reality, it is certain that values such as humanism have not
00:28:36completely abandoned what has become the scene of a humanitarian
00:28:40crisis, it's a shame what the children are
00:28:43going through, they came with an idea, they came to
00:28:46seek their future and in the end there is nothing
00:28:50this, we have it at the door of our houses, it's
00:28:54a shame that breaks your soul, they ask for malt, they
00:28:58ask for food, they ask for everything, there are many
00:29:01children who make up...
00:29:42who controls the policy for minors in three autonomous regions wants to send the children home to their parents, for now they are
00:29:46without a home, without parents and without
00:29:48a country.
00:29:50The Pope left a challenge to young people this morning in
00:29:53Assisi, Italy, asking them to be builders of
00:29:57peace, before thousands of participants in the Franciscan
00:30:00Youth meeting. The Pope invited them to imitate the
00:30:04model of Saint Francis of
00:30:08religion essentially serves to build
00:30:11peace.
00:30:12peace.
00:30:18800 years after his death, it still attracts
00:30:21us, it lies in the magnificent humanity that led
00:30:25him to abandon the paths already
00:30:27traced. The title of your
00:30:30meeting.
00:30:33is a mission, a
00:30:37have maps, devote yourselves, dear
00:30:39young people, to the civilization of love, actualizing in
00:30:43different ways the vision of
00:30:45Francis,
00:30:50whoever requested a reevaluation of secondary school exams should know the
00:30:54result tomorrow, the SOS Public
00:30:57School movement fears that this will not
00:31:00happen.
00:31:03Bad weather in the Azores causes floods, forcing the evacuation
00:31:06of dozens of people from a campsite.
00:31:09I prefer to reach an agreement because I don't
00:31:12want to kill people, the
00:31:16phrase is by Donald Trump who returns to talk about an
00:31:19understanding with
00:31:20Iran and today is the day that
00:31:24the 25th of April bridge completes 60
00:31:27years.
00:31:31Children and adolescents who start early to have accounts
00:31:35on social networks, end up also having
00:31:38worse school results, in particular in their mother tongue
00:31:41and mathematics. It's a report for... shortly in this
00:31:45afternoon newspaper,
00:31:47for now the 25th of April bridge which was
00:31:51inaugurated precisely 60
00:31:54years ago, was an emblem of the new state and had the name
00:31:58of the dictator. these are six decades in different
00:32:01periods of the country's history. On such
00:32:05a day, the sun of Portugal could not miss a
00:32:09national celebration like this one, the inauguration of the
00:32:12Salazar Bridge. The enthusiasm in the voice of... Henriques
00:32:16shows how special this day, August 6, 1966, was.
00:32:19It was inaugurated with great pomp and
00:32:23circumstance, the expected new bridge over the Tagus
00:32:26connecting Lisbon and Almada, the main figures
00:32:29of the regime were present. António Sousa
00:32:33Silva was also there, he was a 31-year-old photographer,
00:32:37he is now 91.
00:32:39I shot seven rolls. I don't know. I don't know anymore,
00:32:44I worked for a studio in downtown Lisbon, I went
00:32:47to the bridge deck in the large group of photographers who were
00:32:51present, so I was one of the first to cross the bridge, I was also one of the first to
00:32:55cross back and forth, with the
00:32:57protocol set up on the Almada side, António decided
00:33:00to go to the Lisbon side, he was alone, he ran or
00:33:04didn't need to run, he wasn't
00:33:07forced, he wasn't afraid of heights, he didn't look
00:33:10down, today I am, I used to not be.
00:33:13no, so when I get to the other side, the
00:33:17Salazar Bridge, I'm waiting for them to reload so that
00:33:20I can fall,
00:33:24no one has that photo, because everyone was there in Almada, no one has it,
00:33:28the inauguration ended an ambitious work that lasted
00:33:31almost 6 years, but even finished ahead of schedule, an
00:33:35engineering feat with an American company and thousands of Portuguese
00:33:38workers, many more than the four
00:33:42would have died, like many
00:33:46other things at that time, it was decided to name the bridge
00:33:49Salazar, you know that it would be much faster to service, right,
00:33:52whereas sometimes you had to go around to Vila Franca,
00:33:56now here you recover an hour and a bit, sometimes on the boats you had to wait
00:34:00one or two or three hours and now no, the regime
00:34:03tried to make the bridge a postcard of an open and modern
00:34:06country, it is with the 25th of April that the first
00:34:10great transformation takes place in the revolutionary vertigo of
00:34:131974, the dictator's name no longer fit in the
00:34:17streets, Salazar falls again, this
00:34:20time with the letters knocked down by hammer by workers from a
00:34:24metalworking factory. It was improvised, writing by hand what
00:34:27would remain for the future. For years this bridge
00:34:32was the most hated name. The rapidly changing country could
00:34:36count on at least one constant. This Sunday, Praia
00:34:40may be the one that had the most traffic
00:34:43here on... over the Tagus, it was 7 am
00:34:47when traffic congestion began here at the entrance to the 25 de Abril bridge,
00:34:50a long line of
00:34:54traffic remains until Fogueteiro, about 12 km of traffic
00:34:57moving slowly. In
00:35:001994, the bridge became a battlefield, a
00:35:0450% increase in the price of the toll, led to a
00:35:07several-day honking protest and hours of waiting in
00:35:10traffic. I'm walking to Lisbon, I've been walking for an hour and a half already.
00:35:14but do you know it's forbidden to walk if you get arrested I won't work,
00:35:18I won't steal anything from anyone, this is not allowed, this is paid more, this is a country of
00:35:21lambs, because otherwise everyone would pass and no one would pay anything, I heard the prime
00:35:25minister say that if he were a motorist, he would also
00:35:28honk, I would be able to do the
00:35:31same. the peak of that crisis happens when a group of
00:35:35truck drivers blocks the bridge in the early morning, the government
00:35:38arrives by helicopter to assess the situation which quickly becomes
00:35:42explosive, I will give... 2
00:35:45minutes, after which I will
00:35:47advance,
00:35:50stones rain down on the intervention police,
00:35:54the violence of the police charge is the symbol of the fall of
00:35:57Cavaco Silva's government, it's already another prime minister who
00:36:01inaugurates the bridge train, another will cross it
00:36:04running, the deck is the most coveted stretch of the
00:36:07half marathon, when the bridge escapes motors and tires,
00:36:10it becomes momentarily tranquil, a... James
00:36:27Bond has already passed through it,
00:36:31it even had a waterfall of fireworks.
00:36:35It is the crossing of millions to the north and to the south, on a
00:36:38working day or on a day out, speeding or stuck in
00:36:42traffic. For 60 years, this deck has also crossed
00:36:46the country's history
00:36:47and
00:36:50a new bridge will be built over the Tagus to serve the new
00:36:54Lisbon airport. Guarantee underlined by... the Minister of
00:36:58Infrastructure during a show that marked these
00:37:0160 years of the 25th of
00:37:03April bridge.
00:37:07500 drones to tell a story of 60 years,
00:37:11made of countless journeys that changed the face of
00:37:14Lisbon. The show lasted less than 10 minutes,
00:37:18some people were expecting more and it's a
00:37:21show that lacked music, let me tell you, but which in some way
00:37:25symbolizes this story from the drawing. to the dream
00:37:28until its realization,
00:37:313,000 workers built what at the time was one of the largest
00:37:34bridges in the world. It is time to build a new
00:37:38crossing on the Tagus, a work that cannot experience
00:37:41delays. It cannot and, because if
00:37:44it took centuries to be built, we have several
00:37:47problems. First, we do not keep our word with the
00:37:50Spanish government, to guarantee a high-speed rail link in
00:37:543 hours until 2034.
00:37:57then we don't guarantee that the new airport, the major national
00:38:00infrastructure investment, will not be served by railway, so we cannot
00:38:04even take that risk, the minister presents an estimated
00:38:07construction period identical to the 25 de Abril bridge,
00:38:11between 4 to 5 years and it is estimated to be
00:38:14roughly the same and, therefore, it will be a different bridge
00:38:18with another type of infrastructure and another type of engineering design, but
00:38:21time, because we are not just moving
00:38:25forward with the third crossing, this government made the decision. to also move forward with the Algestrafaria
00:38:29tunnel, 60 years of life of a bridge
00:38:32crossed by 300,000 people per day, that's more than
00:38:36100 million per year.
00:38:39RTP pays particular attention to the 60 years of a work that changed the
00:38:42country, so today's news program is broadcast live
00:38:46from the 25th of April bridge
00:38:49itself.
00:38:52Children and adolescents who start early to have accounts
00:38:55on social media end up... also having worse school
00:38:59results, particularly in their mother tongue and mathematics,
00:39:03is the conclusion of an international study that highlights the
00:39:06negative impact of the early use of these
00:39:10platforms.
00:39:13The few seconds of attention that Miguel gives each
00:39:16video, turn into hours of the day for this
00:39:1913-year-old student. Now during the holidays
00:39:23it's also a bit more,
00:39:26uh, well, roughly 6 hours, what applications do you
00:39:30use? Oh, mostly TikTok and
00:39:33Instagram, I've had social media for two years,
00:39:37with no daily time limit, except for a window
00:39:40between 11 pm and 7 am, when access
00:39:43is blocked, school grades, he guarantees, are not
00:39:46affected. affected.
00:39:48No, I know that when I have to study, when I have a more important test
00:39:52and when I need to study more, no, it didn't affect my grades. They were
00:39:56good, just fours and fives, so it's
00:39:59good, that was not the pattern identified by a group of
00:40:03Italian researchers who tried to understand the relationship between the
00:40:06age of creating the first social media account
00:40:10and the school performance of children and
00:40:14adolescents, it's a study with very strong associations and
00:40:17that allows us, uh, to
00:40:20state that these associations between the use of social
00:40:24media, parental control and attention...
00:40:28can lead to weaker
00:40:30performance, especially in subjects that require
00:40:34greater depth of reading, greater depth of
00:40:38reasoning. The difficulties are greater in mother
00:40:41tongue and mathematics, in English
00:40:44no impacts were identified. The study
00:40:47followed more than 5000 students from 28 schools
00:40:51in Northern Italy, it evaluated the effects of using
00:40:54Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. after 2
00:40:58years of social media for children who are between 10 and 11 years old in sixth
00:41:02grade, a difference of 0.2
00:41:05standard deviation is already noticeable, which, according to the
00:41:08authors, is equivalent to a
00:41:10learning. Chiara is 10 years old and
00:41:14is using Instagram, I
00:41:16usually see some routines on Instagram, my mom
00:41:20Yes, she can see my Instagram, she can see what you
00:41:23wear, yes, and people? how long have you had Instagram, you know?
00:41:27Not long, my mom used to manage my Instagram and
00:41:31my Facebook, but now I usually use
00:41:34it for a short time, I can only use...
00:41:38from 30 minutes to 1:30,
00:41:41even with parental control and time limits, researchers
00:41:44warn: the earlier the
00:41:48access, the more detrimental the effect of social
00:41:51media on academic performance. the impact
00:41:54is explained by the distractions caused by smartphones
00:41:57at key moments of the day, in addition to the type of content
00:42:01consumed. on social networks the linguistic
00:42:05richness is very, there is no linguistic richness, it is poor, and therefore, this will also
00:42:08lead to children having less vocabulary, uh, reading
00:42:12badly constructed statements and phrases, we have to look at this with some
00:42:15concern and understand how
00:42:18policies, uh, can, can
00:42:21regulate this use of social media by children. The
00:42:25study comes at a particularly sensitive time for
00:42:28the debate around social media, after
00:42:31Australia became the first country in the world to prohibit
00:42:35access for minors under 16 years old. The
00:42:38discussion has reached European countries and the European
00:42:41Union. France has just prohibited access to
00:42:44social media for minors under 15 years old. Similar
00:42:48measures are being discussed in Spain and the
00:42:52United Kingdom. Portugal will extend the prohibition of mobile
00:42:55phone use in schools until the ninth
00:54:48than a week until the eclipse, there's a rush for glasses
00:54:52in opticians and pharmacies, also because the
00:54:55injuries can be serious for those who don't have adequate
00:54:59protection. Report in the second part of the afternoon
00:55:03news.
01:01:20We're back for the second part of the afternoon news, those who
01:01:24requested a review of exams should know the
01:01:27result tomorrow. The SOS Public School
01:01:31movement fears this will not
01:01:32happen.
01:01:36Bad weather in the Azores causes floods and forces the evacuation of dozens
01:01:40of people from a campsite, there's an orange
01:01:43alert in the central and eastern
01:01:45groups.
01:01:48Donald Trump talks again about an understanding with Iran, says
01:01:52he doesn't want to kill more
01:01:53people.
01:01:57The April 25th bridge was inaugurated 60
01:01:59years ago.
01:02:04Children and adolescents who start early to have accounts
01:02:07on social media, also end up having worse school
01:02:11results, particularly in their mother tongue and mathematics.
01:02:14matemática.
01:06:30of interests between a director of the common use service
01:06:33of hospitals and the contracted company. The decision was
01:06:36made by the Board of Directors who speak of something
01:06:39serious and incompatible with the law, but the institution's
01:06:43ombudsman, António Correa de Campos, disagrees and even
01:06:46says that the administration is harming the
01:06:50service.
01:06:54It was the Board of Directors of the common use service of hospitals
01:06:57itself that canceled three deals that totaled
01:07:011,280,000 euros, all due to an alleged
01:07:04conflict of interest. It considered that an institution director
01:07:08represented, at the same time, the company that received the
01:07:11awards. CNN Portugal talks about a network of
01:07:15relationships with the Deputy Director of the Northern Regional Directorate
01:07:18contracting services for SUS to Neovalor,
01:07:22one of the largest suppliers that also owned
01:07:27health, of which she would be communications director,
01:07:31but for the ombudsman none of this makes sense, because the
01:07:36representing the interests of the institution, belonging to
01:07:40SUS, but only to SUS and... eh and
01:07:43acted as a representative on behalf of
01:07:46Sush as an administrator of another company
01:07:50which is 100% owned by SUS,
01:07:54therefore, if the interests were conflicting,
01:07:57that is, if she was struggling between
01:08:00either winning with one or winning with the other,
01:08:03therefore between two loves, but she was not struggling
01:08:07between two loves, there was only one love, the case arises
01:08:11at a time when an audit by the general inspection of
01:08:14health activities and the fraud combat structure
01:08:18in the NHS, specifically to SUS,
01:08:21one of the four requested in December by parliament
01:08:24to private management entities of public utility,
01:08:27and before the entry into force of this
01:08:30administration, which RTP says it cannot
01:08:33comment on the issues that are or may come to be under
01:08:37analysis while these proceedings
01:08:40are underway, but assumes... it requested the
01:08:43support of the commission so that it could investigate
01:08:47various issues, among them the mentioned contracts
01:08:50that were considered null, but the ombudsman has no
01:08:53doubt that it is the administration that is
01:08:57harming the institution. That for me
01:09:00is perfectly clear, in fact, let's see at the end of the year how
01:09:04that will be observed, because the
01:09:07institution is reduced in its
01:09:10capacity, the internal environment is extremely
01:09:13unpleasant, people are afraid
01:09:17of when they are fired
01:09:20overnight, complaints of
01:09:23intimidation, threats, irregularities and even harmful
01:09:27management that Correia de Campo has already submitted to the Ministries of
01:09:31Finance and Health, the guardians of SUS, which with more
01:09:34than 4 thousand employees provides maintenance,
01:09:38food and hygiene services to public
01:09:40hospitals. Professor Carvalho Guerra died,
01:09:44born in Braga, he was
01:09:4793 years old. Francisco Carvalho Guerra, was a retired
01:09:51professor at the Catholic University, specializing
01:09:54in biochemistry. He was awarded
01:09:57various degrees and honorary orders, he received from
01:10:00Pope Francis in 2020, the highest decoration
01:10:04granted by the Holy See. Professor Carvalho Guerra was a member
01:10:08of the National Council of Ethics for Life Sciences, between
01:10:112009 and 2015 by appointment of the
01:10:15Assembly of the Republic,
01:10:18in optical stores and pharmacies, the demand for glasses to watch the
01:10:22eclipse is greatly increasing, ophthalmologists warn of
01:10:25serious retinal injuries due to direct sunlight
01:10:29or inadequate protection. It happens next
01:10:32Wednesday, it's the first total eclipse
01:10:36since 1912.
01:10:381912.
01:10:42For a few minutes, day turns into night, it's one of the most
01:10:45anticipated astronomical phenomena of the year and nobody wants to miss
01:10:49out, but I have to share it with my husband, it's okay,
01:10:525 minutes, divide the time,
01:10:55oh but I'm so jealous of these things of
01:10:58nature, it's all just for me, some don't have the same luck
01:11:02as Regina, there has been too much demand for so little supply,
01:11:06I've been looking, but as always when I'm late there's nothing left, it's all
01:11:09sold out, 150 offered we have...
01:11:12another half a dozen of them waiting for late customers who remember at the last
01:11:16minute, there has been a very large influx of people coming to the
01:11:20opticians, near the opticians, optometrists, the optical
01:11:23technicians, also pharmacies, but not all glasses are suitable for looking at the
01:11:27sun, at the time of purchase or use,
01:11:30always look for technical certification, also pay attention to the
01:11:33validity, eh, yes, the validity, because this is
01:11:36plastic and over time it loses characteristics, common sunglasses,
01:11:40X-rays, tinted glass or CDs do not protect
01:11:44the routine, the consequences are serious, more common among
01:11:48young people. the central point which is the fovea, which is what can be affected during
01:11:52the solar eclipse, by looking, is the point that is
01:11:55responsible for the quality of vision, reading vision,
01:11:59face recognition, color vision,
01:12:01eh, recognizing money, so it's the place where
01:12:04it stays, just 3 seconds of exposure
01:12:08directly looking at the sun, because a focusing
01:12:12of these light
01:12:15rays on this structure and that
01:12:19destroys, there are 660 optical stores participating in the
01:12:22campaign that offers these glasses, the stock has been
01:12:25mostly sold out in all of them, in principle we will receive
01:12:28more, what I can guarantee is that within the optical zone all
01:12:32people who have a registration and a code will have glasses to pick up, we were
01:12:36then forced to acquire the glasses that we will have here in our pharmacy on
01:12:40Friday because we have had a great demand. The eclipse will be
01:12:43visible throughout the continental territory, but the sun's coverage varies according to
01:12:47the location, so there are already those who are looking for the best place to
01:12:51look up at the sky, I'm going to Spain to see it and I'm with...
01:13:03It is still discouraged to use mobile phones or cameras without solar filters, the last
01:13:06total solar eclipse in Portugal happened in 1912, the
01:13:10next one will be in 2144.
01:13:13The centenary meeting is scheduled for next Wednesday between the sun
01:13:17and
