00:00:54From that moment on, Colombia
00:00:58office on August 7th, Abelardo de has a new president for the next. It's
00:01:03it's been a really surreal day for myself, all the
00:01:06parents. Everything kicked off just after 10:00 AM this
00:01:10morning. My son called me saying he heard a rumor from another student that
00:01:13there was an active shooter, and
00:01:16immediately and of course the parent
00:01:18agenda I had in the capital of chat groups, the parents are talking about receiving these
00:01:21messages, and the uncertainty, the
00:01:25fear, it was palpable in that church. It was just
00:01:29really difficult to... go to, uh, when I arrived here today, uh, there's
00:01:32just still ambulances pouring in. Uh, just
00:01:36everybody looking really stunned, parents,
00:01:38students. My own son, I'm sorry to say, he
00:01:42said one of the
00:01:46the most important things in casualties was one of his his own favorite teachers. So it
00:01:48it's been a really hard day for all of us. It's it's a wonderful school. They
00:01:52have a really lively community. They're very supportive of the
00:01:55students, very close in it. It is a school of
00:01:583000 boys and girls. Still,
00:02:02it's it, it's just shocking.
00:02:06going to do this, we're doing it
00:02:07right.

00:09:01Earthquake in Colombia leaves at least 40 dead and
00:09:05worries families in Aruba. Dimas
00:09:08temporarily suspends new work permits.
00:09:11Earthquake of 7.4 degrees
00:09:14shakes Colombia and causes damage in several cities. President
00:09:18Abelardo de la Espirella takes control of the emergency after
00:09:21earthquake.
00:09:24At this hour and every day, we are pleased to greet all
00:09:28our viewers once again, giving them, as always, a warm
00:09:31welcome to our front page broadcast with Alejandra Forero. With great
00:09:35pleasure, we greet you, hoping that you had an excellent weekend
00:09:38and that you prepare to have the best week of all.
00:09:43Today, unfortunately, Colombia
00:09:45was shaken by an earthquake of 7.4 degrees on the
00:09:49Richter scale that affected various main cities in
00:09:53this country. The most worrying thing is that, as we know, many Colombians
00:09:57reside here in Aruba and still do not know the
00:10:00whereabouts of their loved ones. Our newsroom received
00:10:04several messages from people concerned here in Aruba,
00:10:07worried about their relatives in various cities such as Cali,
00:10:11Medellín, Pereira, Manizales, and who did not know their whereabouts.
00:10:15We also know that since we are in vacation season, there are
00:10:18many Arubans or local people who decided to be in Colombia
00:10:22and unfortunately were in the middle of this
00:10:25earthquake. The concern and
00:10:28anguish were also felt in Aruba. This strong earthquake that
00:10:32shook Colombia today has generated concern among hundreds
00:10:36of people on our island, especially among
00:10:39those of us who have relatives and loved ones in Colombian territory
00:10:42and among those who are there on
00:10:46vacation in the country. The magnitude 7.4
00:10:49earthquake was recorded during the morning and was felt in
00:10:52different regions of Colombia. Among the areas that have
00:10:56reported the greatest effects are Pereira,
00:10:58Manizales, Medellín, Cali, Quibdó, where fatal victims,
00:11:02injured people, and damage to buildings
00:11:05have been reported. According to the
00:11:09time of broadcast, at least 70 people had
00:11:13lost their lives. However, the authorities continue to assess the
00:11:17situation and carry out search and rescue efforts. In
00:11:20Aruba, the situation has also generated moments of anguish for
00:11:24many families. Some people have had difficulty
00:11:28communicating with their relatives in Colombia immediately after the
00:11:31earthquake, while others are trying to confirm
00:11:35that their loved ones, including relatives who are on vacation,
00:11:39are well. In a moment like this, the authorities
00:11:42recommend staying calm and avoiding sharing information
00:11:46that has not been officially confirmed. Today,
00:11:49the government of Aruba met with various
00:11:52stakeholders to evaluate the situation.
00:11:55Also, to see the number of Arubans or people who
00:11:58reside on the island and who are currently on vacation.
00:12:02From Aruba, we continue to be attentive to the evaluation of
00:12:06this situation and the official information that
00:12:09emerges. To all the families affected by this
00:12:12tragedy, our thoughts and solidarity
00:12:15in these difficult
00:12:17moments.
00:12:19Changing the subject, the Dimas department has announced that they
00:12:23have temporarily stopped the first permit for
00:12:27certain people. Why did they make this decision? Here's the
00:12:30information.
00:12:33Digma temporarily suspends the issuance of first
00:12:36work permits. The Department of Integration, Management and Admission of
00:12:42moment they are not granting first work
00:12:46permits due to the high volume of applications and
00:12:49the internal reorganization process that the institution
00:12:52is undergoing. According to what the director
00:12:56of this department indicated, there are some exceptions that they are taking into account,
00:12:59and
00:13:01she also explained that the measure seeks to allow the department to
00:13:05process the volume of accumulated files and
00:13:08optimize its administrative procedures before
00:13:11resuming this service. The authorities clarified that the
00:13:15suspension applies only to new work
00:13:17permit applications, while other
00:13:21procedures continue to be carried out
00:13:23normally. She indicated that once operational conditions
00:13:27allow, they will officially announce
00:13:32receive this type of application and invited users
00:13:35to stay informed through official channels.
00:13:39And
00:13:41after this terrible news was announced, where we
00:13:45know that Colombia was affected by this earthquake
00:13:48and as we live here in Aruba with many
00:13:52Colombians, Prime Minister Mike also related
00:13:55to this moment, with the coexistence he has with the
00:13:59thousands and thousands of Colombians who are concerned about the
00:14:02situation that is reigning in Colombia. Next, his
00:14:06statements.
00:14:09We have just organized a very important
00:14:13meeting with different
00:14:16institutes that are important during such
00:14:20moments. We have
00:14:24been in contact. Also with the embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
00:14:28in Bogotá to
00:14:30assess the situation, also with the Consul
00:14:34General of Colombia in Aruba, Mr. Gustavo
00:14:38Serrano, to express our
00:14:41sense of solidarity and coexistence with the
00:14:45community of Colombia with this tragic
00:14:48event of this earthquake in Colombia that has
00:14:52shaken many cities again
00:14:55and again we also have
00:14:59reports of many deceased,
00:15:03especially in four areas. We are
00:15:07getting many reports of much
00:15:10damage in Cali, in Manizales, in Pereira and in
00:15:13Chocó, but also more broadly, in
00:15:16Colombia, there is a lot of damage. The
00:15:19first investigation that we carried out
00:15:23this morning jointly with the Department of Foreign Relations,
00:15:27with the Department of Police Security and the
00:15:30institute for managing crises in
00:15:33Aruba, which is called CMO,
00:15:36we did it jointly with the Kingdom of the Netherlands,
00:15:40an analysis of the situation and
00:15:43everything is very fluid yet. Uh, we still
00:15:46do not have the exact figures,
00:15:49nor do we have a complete
00:15:53view of all the damage, also the damage
00:15:56for many people who have lost family members
00:16:00from Aruba. Uh, we also quickly made
00:16:03an inventory of our concerns for
00:16:37reporting cases of
00:16:41incidents that the patient, the
00:16:44family, were involved in any
00:16:47effect of the earthquake and we are very grateful
00:16:50to our Lord for that. So,
00:16:54we have an accumulation of
00:16:57impacts in the entire
00:17:00region of Venezuela, now Colombia. We
00:17:04feel that these moments, our
00:17:07also an important message of more solidarity and
00:17:11more coexistence among humanity.
00:17:14Many times we are very concerned
00:17:17with things that possibly are not
00:17:23life. These moments remind us what
00:17:27life really is and what it
00:17:31means to be a human being and a neighbor
00:17:35for us. We want to
00:17:37express our words of solidarity and
00:17:40coexistence to all the families in Colombia who have suffered loss,
00:17:44the families in Aruba who have
00:17:48people who have suffered loss. We are
00:17:51in solidarity with you and we have also
00:17:54communicated with the Kingdom of the Netherlands embassy
00:17:58and also with the consul general that Aruba,
00:18:01as we did in Venezuela, we are
00:18:04ready to send, if necessary,
00:18:07any volunteer assistance team,
00:18:11Red Cross team, medical team, specialists,
00:18:15any other type of advice that would be
00:18:18necessary at that moment. We are very
00:18:21attentive to that and we also ask the community to
00:18:25be attentive to what the
00:18:28needs will be and how we can contribute. Each one
00:18:32with their contribution can make a
00:18:34difference for the community that has
00:18:38suffered the greatest damage
00:18:41in Colombia. I want the Colombian community of
00:18:44Aruba to know that we are very attentive
00:18:48and we are also prepared and we have already
00:18:51communicated to see how Aruba
00:18:54can be useful and can
00:18:58also be a support and sustenance in these
00:19:01difficult moments
00:19:02for Colombia.
00:19:08We begin our international round with a special that
00:19:12we have prepared for all of you about this 7.4
00:19:15earthquake that affected various buildings
00:19:18in Colombia this morning. As you will see in the images, in the various
00:19:22main cities, we are talking about Medellín, Cali,
00:19:25Bogotá, Pereira, Manizales, were affected
00:19:29by this telluric movement. After this tremor,
00:19:33several aftershocks have also occurred. Our
00:19:36colleagues from Caracol News have the information
00:19:39for us. A 7.4 magnitude
00:19:43earthquake was registered on Monday morning in Colombia, it was
00:19:46strongly felt in several regions of the country, we are talking about the case of
00:19:50Bogotá, the capital and others like Cali in Valle del Cauca.
00:19:54Subsequently, some aftershocks were registered, one of the most recent being of magnitude
00:19:584.8. The authorities report at this moment
00:20:01that several cities nationwide register important effects,
00:20:05mainly what is known here as the coffee
00:20:09axis that includes, among others, Manizales,
00:20:12Armenia and Pereira, also as we mentioned in Cali, in
00:20:16Valle del Cauca, on the other hand. We must take into account the following: this
00:20:19telluric movement was registered 20 km from the
00:20:23municipality of San José del Palmar in the department of
00:20:26Chocó, this is in the northwest of the country.
00:20:30What the governor of Chocó indicates at this moment is that there is already a preliminary
00:20:33record of injured, but at this moment the local authorities
00:20:37are trying to determine exactly the figure, while it is confirmed that
00:20:41there is extensive material damage, it is important to say
00:20:44the following, also the president of Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella,
00:20:48ordered the... activation of a unified command post
00:20:51for the care of victims,
00:20:54he also assures that he will go directly to the city of
00:20:57Pereira to be able to coordinate precisely the attention to the
00:21:01affected people. Additionally,
00:21:03Civil Aeronautics, which here in Colombia is the highest
00:21:07air authority, assures that there are
00:21:09affectations in the airports of Pereira, Manizales, Quibdó,
00:21:13Armenia, Cartago and Buenaventura, for which air
00:21:16operations at that point are currently suspended.
00:21:20In addition, the mayor of Cali, let's remember that this is the
00:21:24third largest city in the country, assures that serious
00:21:27affectations were reported that are currently
00:21:30being monitored through drones,
00:21:34from Bogotá Colombia Adrián Acuestas for the Latin American Information
00:21:38Alliance.
00:21:40After this information was released, the recently
00:21:44elected president who took
00:21:48la Espriella, through his X account, announced
00:21:51that he was traveling directly to Bogotá to
00:21:54focus on the calamity situation at this
00:21:57moment.
00:21:59Compatriots, at this moment I am heading to
00:22:02Bogotá. I have ordered the suspension of all the
00:22:08the Republic to concentrate on the
00:22:11natural disaster that today afflicts
00:22:15our suffering Colombian people. I have
00:22:18called an urgent meeting, a unified command
00:22:21post at the UNGRD offices in
00:22:25Bogotá. There I will be with the entire team, making
00:22:28determinations and taking actions, personally, I will lead
00:22:32these actions to
00:22:35bring solutions to our people in the department of
00:22:39Chocó, in the coffee axis and in other
00:22:42areas of the country that have been affected, you are not
00:22:45alone. Colombia has a president who
00:22:49cares about his people and will do everything in his
00:22:52power to help you in the most difficult
00:22:56moments. Firm for the
00:22:58homeland.
00:23:08For his part, the mayor of Manizales also announced
00:23:11the number of people affected there in these
00:23:15nearby municipalities and also in Manizales, indicating that
00:23:19they have adopted all containment measures in the face of this
00:23:22earthquake.
00:23:25Manizaleños, we are at the fire department command post,
00:23:28as everyone knows, we have just experienced a very tragic
00:23:32and very hard circumstance, a very large earthquake that
00:23:35strongly affected the city of Manizales, many
00:23:38buildings

00:23:53died due to the event or in circumstances close to
00:23:56the event, we have many gas leaks
00:23:59and electrical issues, we are attending to them with hundreds of people, at
00:24:03this moment there are hundreds of engineers structurally
00:24:06reviewing the buildings to evacuate them, because the first thing to do
00:24:10is to evacuate. We have Efigas, the city's
00:24:13energy company, reviewing all connections to
00:24:17prevent this from happening, it's not easy because despite
00:24:20having firefighters, civil defense, the pink cross, red cross,
00:24:24Aliger, Ponalzar, Autal, all
00:24:27working, we are overwhelmed, so stay outside as
00:24:30you are, because we don't know if an aftershock is coming, we have to be
00:24:34completely prepared, don't go into the buildings yet, I
00:24:38know this is not easy, but stay outside, at least for a while, because
00:24:41there may be an aftershock, uh, let's be at peace and calm,
00:24:45call the 1 2 3 fire department line, we are receiving
00:24:48anything. We are going to attend to you immediately,

00:24:56are going to give us operational rescue and assistance units that come from

00:25:10affected by this telluric movement, according
