00:00:21abstract,
00:00:24linked to the insensitivity of the sea, Catarina looks at the future with hope, a
00:00:28blue horizon, with creatures of the sea that continue to inspire
00:00:31her art.
00:00:52The proceedings also resulted in
00:01:03The parish council of Santa Cruz da Graciosa inaugurated an interpretative center of
00:01:07the vineyard.
00:01:10Parents of students at Ribeira Grande secondary school ask for more support for
00:01:13students with
00:01:33good afternoon and welcome to the Atlântico news: Graciosa Island already
00:01:37has an interpretative center for the Vineyard. The project of the
00:01:42compete in the Madeira Legends at the end of Santa Cruz Parish Council allowed the recovery of the old Bom Jesus school building,
00:01:44which was abandoned. It was
00:01:48a desire that Bom Jesus had been waiting for for several decades. In the middle of the vineyards and
00:01:52facing the sea, the old Primary School building has been recovered and has
00:01:56a new mission. You will be able to see practically all the pieces that
00:01:59it was. Many of them are still used in the art of
00:02:03working the vineyard and wine, as well as the audio resource
00:02:06with testimonies and images of the vineyard in Bom
00:02:10Jesus. In the coming months, we want to include
00:02:13in this space a mill and an ox cart, two essential
00:02:17pieces of equipment for the harvest. This
00:02:20space aims to disseminate the art of winemaking, which we are so
00:02:23proud of. It is also a tribute to all those who work and
00:02:27produce wine in Graciosa. Jesus
00:02:30operated between 1955 and 1990, it was also
00:02:33used as a community center, but then it was vandalized and
00:02:37concede the least, the minimum of abandoned. At this stage, it will open on Friday to all those who
00:02:40never let this dream die, all those
00:02:44who believed that the building deserved a new opportunity. It
00:02:47is for you that today we open these doors and that this may be a space of memory,
00:02:51of culture, of encounter of the future. The architect
00:02:54from Casioz Gabriel Mesquita Gabriel was designed by previous
00:02:58local authorities, after a long bureaucratic process, the works carried out in the last
00:03:02year cost 115, of which
00:03:0483,000 came from the national
00:03:06culture, traditions and government. The executive's representative at the inauguration highlighted the advantages of the new
00:03:09collaboration regime with the local power. Under the previous cooperation regime
00:03:13and it was not from 2020,
00:03:15the same regime in force from 21 to
00:03:1824, Graciosa Island benefited from
00:03:21about 71,100 euros. And in which the Santa Cruz parish council
00:03:25received only 3,260 euros.
00:03:27It was an old limiting regime, to buy furniture, to make
00:03:31small purchases and to compare some computers and little else.
00:03:35With the new regime implemented by the current government, applications have already been approved
00:03:38in Graciosa Island worth
00:03:421 million euros. All
00:03:45parish councils are covered without exception. For the regional director of
00:03:49cooperation with local power, this project is an example of impartiality, with
00:03:52the executive of the Santa Cruz parish council, being socialist, also added
00:03:56that the applications submitted in 2026 by the four councils of...
00:04:00I take responsibility if May represent another 1.3 million euros in
00:04:03support,
00:04:05more students diagnosed with autism demand more
00:04:09occupational scholarship holders at Ribeira
00:04:12Grande secondary school, they say that without a permanent and
00:04:15individualized response, the safety of young people is
00:04:18compromised. The Executive Council shows solidarity with the
00:04:21parents of students.
00:04:24Parents, guardians and school community united
00:04:28to react, through their voice.
00:04:31They demand adequate supervision for children with autism diagnosis,
00:04:35both with 80%
00:04:38disability. My son needs
00:04:41help with feeding, with years, until when
00:04:44he has a crisis, he needs someone to help, the
00:04:48teachers are overloaded, the few assistants
00:04:52are also overloaded, the parents consider that the conditions of
00:04:56around 600 employees on dignity, safety and access to school activities are compromised. Secondary
00:05:12of Ribeira Grande, my son has to be accompanied by
00:05:16a scholarship holder, for the safety of his son here at school, for the safety
00:05:20of my son, bleeding stopped and maybe I can't focus because
00:05:23safety is a right of my son that every child who has
00:05:2680% disability has the right to a scholarship holder
00:05:30I am very afraid to send my son to school I invite
00:05:34people who are in power, people who
00:05:38deny these scholarships, our requests for them to spend a few
00:05:41days. in schools with these children, because only then will they
00:05:45understand the reality, they will feel in their skin how
00:05:49difficult it is, there must be respect for
00:05:53our children and for us, we feel that we are being
00:05:56abandoned,
00:05:59we are being abandoned, our children are well, the executive council of
00:06:03Ribeira Grande secondary school says that the request for two new
00:06:07scholarship holders was made in good time, we are in solidarity with
00:06:10this situation, the direction... The court therefore refused
00:06:14this support and we therefore already
00:06:17had the opportunity to make a counterclaim
00:06:21but they maintain the position, we have
00:06:24operational assistants therefore it is insufficient in number
00:06:28and we cannot affect operational assistants
00:06:32to situations of this nature, parents are worried and we are and
00:06:35when school hours end, the answers
00:06:39are few, it's talking
00:06:42about a place for young people to go during
00:06:46school hours, during the holidays my son spent three months at home because there are no
00:06:49spaces, there are no associations, the
00:06:53associations that exist are full, they are
00:06:55overloaded, there are many children, there are many schools, each
00:06:59time more appear and the solutions are minimal,
00:07:03very minimal. In the school year 2025-2026, 107 requests for
00:07:07occupational scholarships were approved in Azorean schools,
00:07:1073 were
00:07:13rejected.
00:07:15The regional secretary for Education guarantees that all requests for occupational
00:07:19scholarships are evaluated, taking into account the multidisciplinary
00:07:23teams of each school. Sofia Ribeiro says that it is not possible
00:07:27nor advisable to have an occupational assistant for each
00:07:30student. Coadjuvants are requested for
00:07:34the accompaniment of students with disabilities, an analysis is
00:07:37carried out based on various criteria.
00:07:41First of all, the level of disability of the children themselves
00:07:45and then in addition to that, the school's response capacity is also analyzed
00:07:48regarding the work it develops with these students. In addition to
00:07:52the coadjuvants, there are other resources at the level of multidisciplinary
00:07:56teams that provide
00:07:58specialized support to working with these students in the Ribeira Grande
00:08:01secondary school itself, a competition is underway to place
00:08:05a psychomotricist
00:08:07here with the duplication of staff, of technical
00:08:11staff anywhere in the world, we have a professional permanently
00:08:14with each child and that is not even desirable because then there is also a whole component
00:08:18of group dynamics, these children also have and that needs
00:08:22to be appreciated, now these children cannot be left alone, that is another issue
00:08:26and, therefore, the school, according to the typology
00:08:29of these children, then manages
00:08:33not only the steps in the classroom, but also the breaks so that they
00:08:36can have the necessary support, as always happens also
00:08:40in relation to the students, we are seeing with... the school, the typology of
00:08:44the response with the other human resources, the school has other human resources
00:08:47and, therefore, we are checking what is happening in
00:08:50terms of responses that can be given, there are also other
00:08:54more specialized responses beyond the simple care of
00:08:58children.
00:09:00The president of the teachers' union of the region challenges the regional government
00:09:03to disclose the number of professionals who are benefiting from
00:09:07the measures to support the retention of teachers. Fernando
00:09:10Vicente considers that the executive's responses have been
00:09:13insufficient. After consulting the
00:09:17executive councils and meeting with the delegates, it was
00:09:21time to call journalists to draw up the diagnosis of the start of the
00:09:25school year. Starting with the lack of teachers, the union
00:09:29gives a negative mark to the incentives for retention and asks for
00:09:32results. We challenge the Secretary of Education and
00:09:36the Regional Government itself, to disclose how many teachers
00:09:39are effectively benefiting from these measures. Which were so
00:09:43widely announced and presented as being structural for
00:09:46the attraction and retention of teachers and educators in the
00:09:50region. To fill the vacancies in a year
00:09:54with 238 timetables for competition, the SPA says it is time
00:09:58to give conditions to teachers with their own qualification. In
00:10:01the region, we continue to have, we have today, dozens
00:10:05of teachers with their own qualification and five or more years of
00:10:09service who still do not have access to professionalization. "The regional
00:10:13government must find a solution, it cannot condone this
00:10:16discrimination, namely, for example, through
00:10:19the University of the Azores, guaranteeing a vision. The
00:10:23state of the school park is..." another concern, after
00:10:27announced works at Anteroquental school, at EBI dos
00:10:31Biscoitos and at EBS das Flores, planning
00:10:34is requested for the maintenance of schools, it is not just intervening
00:10:37in schools when they are already degraded, intervening in
00:10:40schools, we know, it was news, new schools that
00:10:44were recently built and that are almost operational in their
00:10:47learning space, namely due to the heat
00:10:50they have, because they are authentic greenhouses and then there is no money to use
00:10:54condition. The school year began with failures in digital
00:10:58supported teaching, Fernando Vicente says that the problem
00:11:01reaches hundreds of students. Now what we, what we, what
00:11:05we question is 4 years after the
00:11:08announcement that we are going to digitize the entire
00:11:11learning process, still having, still
00:11:15having errors of this nature right at the beginning of the year. The
00:11:18lack of operational assistants and the scarcity of
00:11:21resources for inclusive education are other
00:11:25problems pointed out by the teachers' union, points of
00:11:29an agenda that enter the
00:11:31list of demands.
00:11:35Brigadier General José Pimenta is the new commander of the Azores military
00:11:39zone. The inauguration ceremony took place at São
00:11:42Brás in Ponta
00:11:43Delgada.
00:11:50Parade Ground of São Brás Fort in Ponta Delgada.
00:11:53Inauguration ceremony. of the new commander of the Azores military
00:11:57zone, I solemnly affirm that I will fulfill the
00:12:00duties entrusted to me with respect for the duties that
00:12:04arise from the constitution of the law. The act is
00:12:08symbolic, full of meaning. To witness
00:12:11a change of command is, perhaps, one of the most
00:12:15striking moments in the life of the army, of a soldier
00:12:18who serves in it, more than a simple transfer
00:12:22of authority, it represents an act of...
00:12:25trust, of renewal of continuity in the
00:12:28commitment to the institution. Brigadier
00:12:31General Peralta Pimenta, 56 years old, assumes
00:12:34his duties with a spirit of total motivation. RTP
00:12:37said it has two objectives defined for this two-year
00:12:41mission. The first is to comply with the determinations of the Army Commander regarding
00:12:44the preparation of forces, the use of our
00:12:48capabilities in exercises and within the scope of national
00:12:51deployed forces. The other is to honor the historical commitment. They exercise
00:12:55with everyone, with the entire autonomous region of the Azores, always alongside the Azoreans.
00:12:59The new commander of the Azores military zone hopes to count on the commitment of
00:13:03all operational personnel, he admits to knowing well the fiber of Azorean
00:13:07soldiers. I remember about 20 years ago, in Kosovo,
00:13:11when I was on a mission in Kosovo, I received a platoon from the Azores and I can guarantee you
00:13:15that many of the most difficult missions were carried out by them, because with their
00:13:18rusticity, their desire to fulfill their
00:13:21missions always with great serenity, the
00:13:25good civil and military entities were present at this
00:13:28ceremony, Brigadier General Peralta Pimenta replaced
00:13:32Major General Jorge da Silva
00:13:35Ferreira, who ceased his duties in
00:13:37August.
00:13:39José Manuel Bolieiro highlights the importance of private investment in job creation
00:13:43and economic diversification. The president of the
00:13:46government attended the inauguration of a commercial area in
00:13:50Angra do Heroísmo.
00:13:52As a result of the partnership with the Gerónimo group. With the opening
00:13:56of this store, the Finançor group created 86 jobs,
00:13:59with special attention to regional products, the new
00:14:03King 12 store has more than 100 partnerships,
00:14:07Azorean suppliers, 19 of which are from Terceira
00:14:10Island. To this land, its people and its traditions that we come
00:14:14to pay tribute today with the mission of being here at your service every day
00:14:18of the year. We believe deeply in the potential of
00:14:21Terceira to grow in economic activity, in quality of life and in
00:14:24population. And it is with this commitment that we are here today, from the group I have the honor
00:14:28of leading, we are very committed to investing and growing to
00:14:32develop the Azores. This is the 14th Pingo Doce store in
00:14:35the Azores, the second built from scratch. It has
00:14:381,500 m2 of sales area and was designed with
00:14:42energy efficiency criteria, in a noble
00:14:45space that for years was
00:14:47abandoned. The old Ciloter building, in a privileged
00:14:51location on Avenida Infante de Dom Henrique, and in the heart of the City.
00:14:57It is therefore also an investment that contributes to recovering
00:15:00urban space and restoring life and utility
00:15:04to the sea of our city with
00:15:07investments provided for the remodeling and transformation of the
00:15:10Guarita supermarket, which will become Pingo Doce and
00:15:14in 2027 the Finançor group
00:15:17expects to reach
00:15:21Terceira Island, the entrepreneurship of the impulse.
00:15:25private that knows that risks, but
00:15:28seeks to serve in the name of collective
00:15:32prosperity, helps public policy
00:15:36to have... a practical consequence in
00:15:39the lives of all those who contribute to
00:15:43Azorean society and economy. The
00:15:46Pingo Doce store in Angra dedicated to grocery products, fresh
00:15:50food and ready meals. The new space aroused the curiosity
00:15:54of customers. In the first hours, it includes a restaurant,
00:15:58cafeteria and pastry shop, it has a dining
00:16:01area with 107 seats and
00:16:0495 parking spaces.
00:16:08The PSP arrested nine people in São Miguel, eight men and one woman,
00:16:12aged between 27 and 63, on suspicion
00:16:16of aggravated drug trafficking. The operation
00:16:20in the municipalities of Ponta Delgada, Ribeira Grande and
00:16:23Povoação, where domiciliary and non-domiciliary searches
00:16:26were carried out.
00:16:30the seizure of 56 g of synthetic
00:16:33stupefying substance, two vehicles and about three.
00:16:37800 euros in cash. Two dogs with signs of ill-treatment
00:16:40were also collected and handed over
00:16:44to the municipal kennel of Ribeira Grande. Of the
00:16:47nine defendants, eight are in pre-trial detention. The other
00:16:51was subjected to bi-weekly presentations to
00:16:54the authorities. This operation continued the one started
00:16:58in October 2024. The
00:17:00process now has 22 detainees, of whom
00:17:0415 remain in pre-trial detention.
00:17:09Graciosa was classified as a biosphere reserve 19
00:17:13years ago, to mark the anniversary, a traditional
00:17:16corn campaign was organized in the parish of
00:17:19Guadalupe.
00:17:22The older students of the Guadalupe Basic School were invited to
00:17:26participate in a traditional corn husking, going back several
00:17:29decades in time, they accompanied the ox carts on the cobbled path,
00:17:33where they helped in harvesting the corn cobs. This initiative was part of the commemorations. Normally
00:17:45the new generations are not very linked to the rural world or to
00:17:49our experiences and this activity is to reinforce and to
00:17:52show young people what Graciosa was like. Lunch was almost always
00:17:56in the field, taking advantage of the ox cart that served the folk
00:17:59ranch of Guadalupe, which helped to make this symbolic
00:18:03demonstration even more real. My father harvested, we sowed
00:18:08later, after harvesting the corn, we picked the corn cobs and
00:18:11helped to cut the corn stalks, we came home with the corn in the
00:18:14baskets and at night the neighbors
00:18:18and friends gathered to husk the corn, these were times of hard
00:18:21work but also of conviviality, the evenings were pleasant,
00:18:24we had a snack when we finished husking the corn there at
00:18:2810:30, 11 o'clock, we had
00:18:31roasted corn in the wood-fired ovens, already with a glass of
00:18:34new wine in our land, wine was always praised. The UNESCO Biosphere Reserve
00:18:38award, given in 2007, recognizes
00:18:43the relationship between man and environmental values, our islands
00:18:46here are small laboratories where all this happens, it was
00:18:50recognized, because it must be remembered that for decades there
00:18:54was only in Portugal the Quirobo Pole, which was the only biosphere reserve and it was the Azores that
00:18:57at the time launched that small seed which was to start looking at that award
00:19:01that was somewhat forgotten in Portugal and launched the two candidacies for Graciosa and Corvo
00:19:05Island Biosphere. 19 years later, biosphere
00:19:09reserves already represent 5% of the earth's surface, Portugal
00:19:12has 14 and four are in the Azores, this biosphere
00:19:15has been undervalued for some time, but it is also being
00:19:19highly valued, I will give the example of dairy products, dairy products
00:19:23will start exporting cheese produced in
00:19:27Graciosa to Brazil because it is a biosphere reserve, the market
00:19:30consumers, eh Brazilian
00:19:33citizens, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo value products
00:19:37produced in biosphere reserves. The corn harvest ended with
00:19:40husking, the elders passed on to the students the small gestures and knowledge
00:19:43they inherited from the past year, the corn cobs tied in small bunches
00:19:47which in Graciosa are called cambos, were hung on the
00:19:51corn stack and were used to feed the animals and to
00:19:54transform into bread,
00:19:57the brotherhoods of the Azores are meeting on Terceira Island to discuss the best
00:20:01way to preserve the gastronomic and wine
00:20:05heritage of the region, the meeting is organized
00:20:08by the Brotherhood of Veja dos Azores in conjunction with the brotherhoods of Alcatra da
00:20:12Terceira and Verdelho wine of Biscoitos,
00:20:16because united they are stronger and the moments of sharing always bring
00:20:20something new. This weekend most of the brotherhoods of
00:20:23Gião gather on Terceira Island, in a meeting
00:20:26organized by the Brotherhood of Veja dos Azores, in
00:20:30conjunction with the Brotherhood of Alcatra da Terceira and the Brotherhood of Verdelho
00:20:34Wine of Biscoitos. The way we can unite
00:20:38and be stronger, how we can
00:20:41also spread our activities
00:20:44beyond borders and I speak nationally
00:20:47and internationally in the Portuguese diaspora. Eh, and these
00:20:51are all things that end up being important for all brotherhoods, it has
00:20:55to do with the functioning of the brotherhoods themselves, it has to do with
00:20:58what are the good ways of acting to
00:21:02reach the public group as well, so to speak, eh
00:21:06eventually another situation that some other brotherhood
00:21:09puts forward and that is also enriching,
00:21:12because the logic is that, it is about sharing
00:21:16what experience there already is and the perspective of what we can
00:21:19eventually. continue to do together, a first meeting that began
00:21:22in Praia da Vitória and that has as one of its highlights, a joint enthronement ceremony
00:21:26of the three brotherhoods of Terceira, in the Azores
00:21:29there are 17, most will discuss together the
00:21:33difficulties and projects for the future, we having here
00:21:36spaces for sharing, spaces, spaces of union among the brotherhoods of the
00:21:40Azores, naturally we can also have these synergies
00:21:43adequate to what is our specific regional reality
00:21:47and, therefore... sense eh with good
00:21:50openness from the brotherhoods I think it's a plus. The
00:21:53program also includes moments of conviviality always with gastronomy
00:21:57and winemaking in highlight. On Sunday
00:22:00the debate will revolve around the challenges. It is difficult, it is
00:22:04difficult, not only to preserve, but also
00:22:07to recover sometimes
00:22:10certain traditions, recipes and
00:22:13habits that,
00:22:15in a way, were rooted and that,
00:22:19for one reason or another, ceased to be
00:22:22practiced and that is also a
00:22:26task that we seek to develop, all in
00:22:30the name of defending the traditions of the culture of a gastronomic
00:22:33and wine heritage that, according to the confrades, is worth
00:25:03Pediatrics, in partnership with the Hospital, promoted another
00:25:06edition of the Doll Hospital. The main
00:25:09objective is to reduce anxiety and fear of the
00:25:12hospital environment. This year, about
00:25:15450 children took their dolls to the
00:25:18emergency room.
00:25:21A complicated day for the health professionals
00:25:24in this improvised hospital, the occurrences
00:25:28were in the hundreds, throughout the morning,
00:25:31the dolls from home needed
00:25:35urgent care, mine broke its leg and
00:25:39the ladies fixed your doll's leg, how was that operation? it was
00:25:42good, what did they
00:25:46do? they put a
00:25:48bandage, your doll, eh, they start at the
00:25:52admission, at the triage of the emergency service, just like
00:25:56when a child goes to the emergency room, here all the services
00:25:59that are found in a
00:26:02real hospital were installed, the patients
00:26:05varied in size and format,
00:26:08surgeries were performed, real
00:26:11X-rays were taken and there were many
00:26:15dressings, but they already knew that the
00:26:18cure for any ailment is a
00:26:21good dose of affection, initiatives like the doll
00:26:24hospital, whose objective, which has been
00:26:27achieved over time, and this year, it certainly was,
00:26:30judging by the expressions and... smiles of the children, to diminish their fear
00:26:34a little about healthcare, health professionals and the hospital itself,
00:26:38they left the classrooms
00:26:41of the primary school, they came to the
00:26:45doll hospital, it is an initiative of the
00:26:48friends of pediatrics of Terceira Island, which held its
00:26:52seventh edition, the balance has been positive, this
00:26:55year we have not yet done the counting, but already at least
00:26:58450 children, the number has annually been
00:27:01increasing. The objectives are also pedagogical
00:27:05in the doll hospital, inside, to cure the
00:27:09dolls, outside to learn about
00:27:12firefighters, ambulances and about the
00:27:15work of the
00:27:16police.
00:27:19That was the Atlantic news from the Azores, thank you for your
00:27:23preference, have a great weekend.
00:27:25semana.
00:28:05The feast of pity took place at sea, as tradition dictates, with hundreds
00:28:09of people at the maritime procession.
00:28:22Welcome to Atlantic
00:31:24the maritime procession in honor of Our Lady of Piety. The moment was
00:31:28accompanied by hundreds of people at
00:31:30Caniçal.
00:31:33It's a unique tradition in Madeira, rare in Portugal. The maritime
00:31:36procession in honor of Our Lady of Piety once again gathered hundreds
00:31:40of faithful at the Caniçal Fishing Port. From there, more than
00:31:4440 vessels set sail towards Lorde with the
00:31:47mission of retrieving the image of Our Lady of Piety from the chapel on
00:31:51Mount Gordo. I am, and it's the first time I'm going on the boat, I'm still going to the
00:31:55Our Lady's boat, I'm going to
00:31:59like it, if I like it I'll come back another time, but what does this
00:32:03celebration mean to you? Ah, it's another for me, another
00:32:06that is Catholic, is Catholic and it's a
00:32:10beautiful thing, it's a tradition and to fulfill the promise to Our Lady of
00:32:13Piety who... It's one more year so we can continue
00:32:17our journey, our faith, and that we can also
00:32:20continue to come to this festival. Are you going on the boat or are you watching from land? No,
00:32:24we're going on the boat. It has to be, it's tradition. I've
00:32:28been going on the boat since I was a child. My father used to do it, and since I was a
00:32:32child I've been coming to Our Lady of Piety. Secondly, in addition to
00:32:35several distressed fishermen at sea, they promised to see a chapel of
00:32:39Our Lady of Piety if they were saved. The promise was
00:32:42fulfilled today. The feast of Piety is already... a centuries-old
00:32:45tradition. This is a very special tradition when
00:32:49I'm abroad and I come especially for the festival. Today you're here with a candle.
00:32:52Are you going to fulfill any promise? It's a promise that I've been making for 10 years, since 10 years
00:32:56ago. Will you be on a boat or will you follow from land? I'm going in the
00:33:00procession, I'm going in the procession. As I'm here, I'm leaving
00:33:03here, I'm going to be in the procession. It's a very beautiful tradition, it's very
00:33:07beautiful here, this festival of Our Lady of Piety. Do you usually participate? Yes, yes, yes,
00:33:10every year. And do you usually go on the
00:33:14boat? Yes, I usually go. This is the first year I'm here, but I usually
00:33:18go on other boats. I think it's an old tradition, very
00:33:21beautiful, from my grandparents' time, my father's
00:33:24time, and yes, it's from Caniçal,
00:33:27yes. Since you can remember, you participated in the procession. When I
00:33:31was younger, I really liked to go in the procession on the
00:33:35boats, but now I'm very scared, I don't go. Now I watch from
00:33:38land, from land. This year, luck dictated that the
00:33:41boat with pain would carry the image of Our Lady... of
00:33:45Piety. This is the first year I'm carrying it, I don't know, I don't know if he will sufficiently
00:33:49convert, but well, this is a tradition, I was very happy to be here, it is
00:33:52truly holy and look, I'm going to see now what it will be, this is a tradition that has been going on,
00:33:56we already started this rhythm and the candle is already coming and now well, I have to
00:34:00thank the team that infected a great team that was here infecting the boat, the journey
00:34:04from the port of Caniçal to Quinta do Lorde took no more than 40
00:34:07minutes, the image of Our Lady of Piety will spend the night in the
00:34:11main church of Caniçal, on Sunday it will return again by sea
00:34:15to the Chapel of Our Lady of Piety.
00:34:18The Aedes aegypti mosquito is more active this year than last
00:34:22year. High temperatures and humidity are conducive to mosquito
00:34:25reproduction. The fight and calls for the elimination of
00:34:29breeding grounds and the prevention of bites are also intensifying
00:34:33at this time.
00:34:35So far, there is no report from the health authority about new
00:34:39cases of disease transmitted by the Aedes aegypti
00:34:42mosquito. But it is at this time when there is... greater activity
00:34:46also a greater response, whenever
00:34:49we have new positive cases, teams on the ground go to
00:34:52the locations, prospect to identify breeding grounds
00:34:56and try to eliminate these breeding grounds, this is a work done in partnership not only with
00:35:00the municipalities, but also with the community which has a very important role,
00:35:04the mosquito is a mosquito that seeks
00:35:07familiar environments or domestic
00:35:10environments. At this stage, says Bruna Gouveia, it is necessary to be
00:35:13attentive, find breeding grounds and eliminate
00:35:16them in order to reduce activity, we have a
00:35:20historical record of data that is very consistent since
00:35:232012, today we are experiencing
00:35:27mosquito activity, it has a higher mosquito activity than the average of
00:35:30recent years, but lower than the maximums we have
00:35:34already had, we had maximums, for example, in
00:35:372023, a year of great
00:35:39activity and we are clearly below the activity we had in
00:35:432023, but this means that we must
00:35:46continue to combat and reduce mosquito
00:35:50activity, the region is reducing the risk of disease
00:35:53transmission, the public health official also leaves a
00:35:57warning for the prevention of bites, it is
00:36:00important that when traveling to a place where there are outbreaks, where
00:36:04there are diseases that are transmitted by this type of
00:36:07mosquito, that bites are prevented after returning and
00:36:11in case of any disease symptom, seek health services to...
00:36:15clarify the situation stating that they have traveled,
00:36:19health authorities reinforce the fight against the Aedes
00:36:21aegypti mosquito and ask for everyone's
00:36:25involvement in eliminating breeding grounds.
00:36:29The first meeting of women municipal councilors from parishes in Madeira took
00:36:33place today in Porto Moniz. In the region, there are eight parish councils
00:36:37chaired by women.
00:36:40Of the 54 parish councils in Madeira, only eight are
00:36:44led by women. My mother passed away and I was invited
00:36:47to take her place on the lists of the
00:36:51parish. I continued, I always continued in the Parish
00:36:55Assemblies in a position before. One day I accepted the
00:36:58invitation of the current president of the council, Emmanuel
00:37:02Câmara, to be number one, to be a candidate for the
00:37:05PS for the Parish Council of Ribeira de Janela. It was the first time I ran
00:37:09in elections and here I am, I'm still here. Every time
00:37:12we went to elections, I won. In the
00:37:16country, there are about 600 women, out of a total of
00:37:203,258
00:37:22parishes. Since I was little, I have been part of several
00:37:26associations. So the history
00:37:29of my parish is also my history. I arrived by
00:37:32invitation at the time of the political commission in
00:37:362021, it was one that I initially tried
00:37:40to resist a little in the sense
00:37:42of manifesting that I was available to help, and whoever wants
00:37:46to help helps, they don't need to be in first place on the list, eh, but
00:37:49then I effectively accepted that
00:37:53invitation positively. I am now in my second
00:37:56term, of course... "the parity law imposes a
00:37:59quota here, but we understand that the path should not
00:38:02be through obligation, this balance between men
00:38:06and women in politics should be a path that society should take not out of
00:38:09obligation, but out of recognition of the competence of
00:38:12both, both men and women in active life serving their
00:38:16populations. It was the ANAF delegation from Madeira that
00:38:19organized the first meeting of women municipal councilors from
00:38:23the region. We managed to honor 15
00:38:26former presidents of..." council. it's a way
00:38:30of valuing these people who, in fact, as is common
00:38:33knowledge, the council, those who are closest to our populations
00:38:37are, in fact, those who know all the people of the
00:38:41usually all the people of the parishes. In October,
00:38:44the National Association of Parishes will hold
00:38:47in Aveiro the third meeting of women municipal councilors from
00:38:51the country.
00:38:54Vigário beach in Câmara de Lobos is closed for bathing. Water
00:38:58tests detected microbiological contamination, entering the
00:39:01sea has been prohibited since Thursday, a new sample will only
00:39:04be collected for analysis next Tuesday.
00:39:07terça-feira.
00:39:09It is not the first time this bathing season that Vigário beach is closed
00:39:13to bathing due to poor water quality. The
00:39:16problem is well identified. I even believe in the
00:39:20analyses, because it's the
00:39:22Camarões? Uh, if they come here to
00:39:26do the tests, the text. next to the river, if they come here every
00:39:30day of the year, every day of the year, the water will be
00:39:32contaminated. Four days ago it was
00:39:35contaminated, the water was dirty, I don't know if it was contaminated, but it was
00:39:39dirty. Since two days ago it's
00:39:42completely clean. I don't
00:39:45believe in the analyses, no, no, no, the water smelled
00:39:49bad and the water was open to everyone,
00:39:53now two days later it's closed, but the
00:39:56water is shallow. "I was a little surprised when I
00:40:00arrived here, I sat down and that's when I saw the signs warning some
00:40:04people that they couldn't swim because the water was
00:40:07contaminated. Will you respect
00:40:10it? Yes, I'll have to go to the shower. Even
00:40:14with the red flag hoisted, there were some who didn't
00:40:17give up a dip in the sea. I go into the sea with
00:40:21complete confidence, really. Aren't you afraid
00:40:24of it? I'm not afraid and
00:40:27something happens to me. You don't really believe that the
00:40:31water is contaminated, do you? No, no, you're not
00:40:34going into the sea. I'm going. I went without fear, without
00:40:38fear. I was afraid the other day it was
00:40:42already. Now if I had the information
00:40:46because I don't want to break the law or anything like that, but if I had the information, no,
00:40:49no. And the analyses are repeated now next
00:40:53Tuesday. I'll stop seeing this beach, I'll stop seeing this beach. I'll
00:40:56go to another one until I know the result of the water
00:41:00analyses. Two lifeguards ensure the
00:41:03surveillance of the beach. The order to hoist the red
00:41:06flag arrived yesterday afternoon. We have warned
00:41:10people, even so, there were people who disregarded it.
00:41:13In that case, we can't do anything. They have already been
00:41:16warned. Now our work is done. The authority is
00:41:20the one who has to deal with the rest. But today it's calm,
00:41:24today it is, but I believe that the next analysis will already
00:41:27make the beach available for bathers, so it's
00:41:31a matter of waiting. The lifeguard can
00:41:34warn, but only the maritime police can act. The fine varies
00:41:38between 50 and 500.
00:41:41The information is that the collection will be made on Tuesday, until then
00:41:45bathing is prohibited,
00:41:48why are the analyses
00:41:51done on the spot?
00:41:54So it's easier to do a blood test on the
00:41:58spot than water, to analyze the
00:42:02water, an hour more
00:42:03is
00:42:06impossible for this to happen, but in any case it is the...
00:42:10Vigário Beach in Câmara de Lobos once again has contaminated
00:42:14bathing waters. Remember that in the past it was a beach with a
00:42:18blue flag.
00:42:20Agras once again opened its doors to the public. During a stop in
00:42:24Funchal, visitors took the opportunity to go aboard and
00:42:27get to know one of the symbols of the Portuguese
00:42:30Navy up close.
00:42:32It is one of the most famous Portuguese ships, both at home and
00:42:36abroad. When passing through Funchal, the school ship Sagres once again
00:42:40opened its doors, an opportunity to go aboard
00:42:43and discover our stories. It's not the first time, but with
00:42:47company
00:42:49without a escort, it's the first time with a good explanation of what can be given inside this ship.
00:42:53But it's the second time. Why repeat the experience?
00:42:56Because my daughter was very small and now she's already a certain age,
00:43:00I have three children and so it was a time for us
00:43:03to get to know each other. This time we came more here for João to have
00:43:06a possibility, a new experience for him.
00:43:10Did you find differences between this visit 4 years
00:43:13ago and this one today? Honestly, I don't think so.
00:43:16The history of the ship? I know, I know the history of the
00:43:20ship, it's a long history, in fact, a twin brother of the ship
00:43:23was here some time ago, this is always a good
00:43:26experience of an extracurricular activity for the kids, which is something they
00:43:30really like, but opening the ship to the public is
00:43:33more than allowing a simple visit for the Portuguese
00:43:36Navy, it is also a way of bringing the population closer. Biosagres
00:43:40presenting the history and missions it
00:43:43continues to carry out, and the connection to Funchal is not
00:43:47new. Madeira Island is the port most visited by
00:43:51the Sagres school ship, this is the 47th time and
00:43:54one of the reasons why we come is because this is a floating embassy, as
00:43:58we usually say, and especially abroad we realize
00:44:02even from the people who visit us and the Portuguese sometimes haven't been to
00:44:05Portugal for a long time, here they find a little bit of home, that is, we have here the customs, the...
00:44:10the traditions, the ways of speaking, between the deck, the masts
00:44:13and the ropes of Sagres, there is much to discover, for those who enter for the
00:44:17first time, the feeling is very
00:44:20pleasant, I think it's a memorable
00:44:23visit, the ship is in a wonderful state of
00:44:27conservation, no work is seen
00:44:30eh, it is very well preserved, this also gives us some
00:44:34satisfaction and pride to see that in fact it is almost a museum
00:44:37piece, for a few hours a... Sagres thus ceased to be
00:44:41merely a presence in the port of Funchal, it opened its doors and
00:44:44allowed people to get to know from the inside one of the symbols of the Portuguese
00:44:47Navy. The European Commission wants to ban social
00:44:51media for minors under 13 years old, and also intends to restrict
00:44:55access up to 15. According to the proposed law
00:44:58presented, platforms must prove that they are
00:45:02safe.
00:45:05The harms of social media
00:45:09have been diagnosed.
00:46:11now we are reversing the burden of proof, now they
00:46:14have to prove to us that they are
00:46:17safe, and therefore for person under
00:46:2118, the platforms must follow the principle of safety by
00:46:25design, no toxic or addictive features, no traps,
00:46:28etc. social media platforms, video sharing
00:46:31platforms, AI companions and AI chatbots and also
00:46:35online video games, all must meet safety
00:46:38obligations, European for the protection of
00:46:41children online was prepared after
00:46:44consulting more than 60 specialists,
00:46:48it will now be analyzed by MEPs and by
00:46:51member states, it intends to strengthen the
00:46:55protection of minors on the
00:49:34the subject of a book by João Lemos Batista. The former
00:49:37deputy says that students have little knowledge about the house of
00:49:41autonomy. The book tells the story of the
00:49:45regional parliament in these 50 years of
00:49:48autonomy. There are 23 chapters that reveal
00:49:51it.
00:50:22chapter makes reference to the
00:50:26importance that the legislative power had in the development of the region, I could not
00:50:29forget, immediately after I selected
00:50:33the diplomas that were most important for the affirmation
00:50:37of autonomy, former deputy João Lemos justifies the
00:50:40making of the work, it has to do with one of the gaps that
00:50:43I notice at the level of scientific research on
00:50:47regional policy and because unfortunately most
00:50:50of our students, young and
00:50:53not so young, and also society in general, eh have little
00:50:57knowledge about this house
00:51:00of autonomy, about the regional parliament. The book contains a
00:51:03reflection on the competencies acquired and what still
00:51:06can be done. Our wish was that we really
00:51:10had an updated regional finance law that was
00:51:13compatible with the changes that Madeira has undergone in
00:51:17recent years and that we also had
00:51:20greater financial collaboration at a level. At the level of health and education
00:51:24itself, and even at the level of security, as you know, the regional government is the one that bears many
00:51:27of these expenses and it is logical
00:51:30that eh we could have advanced but it
00:51:34doesn't depend only on us, that's why I I finish
00:51:38my intervention by alerting to the need
00:51:41for us to continue to demand until we achieve a
00:51:45full autonomy one in which
00:51:47we could elaborate our own laws and be more
00:51:51dependent.
00:51:53of the mainland as happens. Rubina Aleal reinforces
00:51:56the need for Parliament to be given greater
00:52:00competencies. The memory is not
00:52:03enough. We are currently. eh in a key time, in a
00:52:06crucial time that we are going to start a
00:52:10new session now and that we effectively
00:52:14have to put into practice and being at a time when
00:52:18eh we can say stability, stability is eh
00:52:20compatible with reforms
00:52:24and we have to put into practice and work towards
00:52:28deepening, strengthening our powers and
00:52:32the competencies of the autonomous region, named... very much through the constitutional
00:52:35review which, despite being already taken
00:52:39for granted, but we have to move forward and we are at the right time, at the right moment, with
00:52:43the right stability to be reformist and advance that so desired
00:52:46constitutional review. João Lemos
00:52:50dedicated three years of research to write about the
00:52:5350 years of the Madeira parliament. I want
00:52:57it to be in the regions, in the rest of the country or around the world, you already know
00:53:01that you can watch the news from the Azores and Madeira every day.
00:53:05Here on IRTP, see you tomorrow.
