00:00:37And speaking of Guinness Records, I'd also like to introduce you
00:00:41to this young man who received a tremendous award for solving a Rubik's
00:00:45Cube, but with his eyes closed.
00:00:49Tommy Cherry again inscribed his name in the world
00:00:52record books by registering the fastest time to solve
00:00:56a rotating 3x3 Rubik's Cube with his eyes
00:01:00blindfolded in 11.56
00:01:02seconds. The 21-year-old student from the United
00:01:05States achieved this mark within the framework of an official competition in
00:01:09a discipline he has dominated since 2021. Cherry
00:01:13began his journey in this record on August 5 of that year in
00:01:16Palm Beach County with a time of
00:01:2015.27 seconds. Since then, he has
00:01:22repeatedly surpassed his own record. There, both
00:01:26competitors, along with Charlie, share the record for the fastest
00:01:30average time to solve the same type of
00:01:34cube with their eyes
00:01:37blindfolded. And I leave you with these images
00:01:41of a young Argentine who lives in Italy and shows how traditions
00:01:44change from one country to another, specifically between the cultures
00:01:47of the continents. For example, in Latin America we have the
00:01:50custom that when a young person graduates, eggs, flour,
00:01:54and paint are thrown at them. However, in Italy, they are given a laurel
00:01:57wreath and must wear it throughout the
00:02:00day. A video by user Juan
00:02:05yes, they do it from the heart. This is what Navarro about graduations in Italy gained circulation on TikTok
00:02:08after showcasing the differences between university celebrations
00:02:11in Italy and in other countries, such as
00:02:15Argentina, based on a celebration in which
00:02:17he participated with a friend who had just received
00:02:21her graduation. The publication highlighted a ritual
00:02:25known as Laurea and accumulated thousands of views. The
00:02:28episode gained momentum in recent days, from the moment the
00:02:32creator, who resides in Italy and frequently publishes
00:02:35scenes of daily life, shared the material on his account.
00:02:39devastation of what The Italian university celebration maintains public
00:02:43customs that differ from the model in
00:02:45South America. Unlike, for example, Argentina, where they throw eggs,
00:02:49sand, and paint at you when you finish university, here
00:02:54with the support, and it must be mentioned, it simply shows how people use some central symbols known
00:02:58as laurea, a crown.
00:03:06attending to everything He pointed out that the graduate usually wears it throughout the
00:03:10day.

00:04:17different. This earthquake, unlike
00:04:37movements, you are experiencing them right now on collection of whatever
00:06:50We are CNN, the world leader in news.
00:07:08Hello, how are you? Rey
00:07:11Rodríguez greets you. My colleague Fernando del Rincón,
00:07:14host of this program, on behalf of Fernando
00:07:17del Rincón, I welcome you to this program
00:07:21"Conclusiones." I'll go with the headlines. The
00:07:25death toll from the earthquake in Colombia rises
00:07:28tonight to more than 200 people, according to CNN
00:07:32calculations with official data. But just as there are
00:07:36images of destruction and devastation, there are also
00:07:39scenes that call for optimism,
00:07:43of people, including babies of a few months from under the
00:07:47rubble, as well as the solidarity of Colombians themselves,
00:07:50many of them abroad, and the international
00:07:54community.
00:07:55And the former president of Honduras, Juan
00:07:59Orlando Hernández, faces a new judicial process now
00:08:02in his country. The Attorney General will join us
00:08:06in this program to talk about it. This is how we begin
00:08:09"Conclusiones." And I ask you from
00:08:25this moment on to join me using
00:08:28the hashtag conclu terremoto colombia.
00:08:30Remember that I receive all your comments on
00:08:34my X account, the social network previously known as Twitter,
00:08:37@reycn.
00:08:39the city of Cali. But let's hear
00:09:13how the firefighters in Cali explain
00:09:17this rescue. We found a
00:09:20patient named
00:09:22Carlos, 34
00:09:26years old, trapped here in this gallery
00:09:29under that beam that you see there, and this
00:09:33column. This column here was supporting the beam, and he was already
00:09:36inside, one of his upper right limbs stuck there, and...
00:09:40the rest trapped under this rubble. The work that was done
00:09:43was to penetrate all the pile,
00:09:46extract the rubble to open up enough
00:09:49space and extract our patient.
00:09:53Well, and in the midst of the chaos and
00:09:55destruction, a voice from the
00:09:58rubble changed everything. Watch the moment
00:10:01Brian Osorio and six other civilians
00:10:05rescue a baby from the
00:10:09rubble. Let's see. Watch
00:10:13out for that wall,
00:10:16guys.
00:10:29Brian Osorio heard that near his office, a
00:10:32building had collapsed. Despite the danger,
00:10:36he decided to approach, look for survivors, and among the rubble,
00:10:40he heard a man calling for help. He asked him to
00:10:43shout louder to be able to locate him, but the man
00:10:47was not alone; he had a baby with him. Brian told
00:10:50CNN that he did not stop even though he knew that many
00:10:54things could go wrong. Together with six other civilians, they managed
00:10:58to rescue the baby and take him to the rescuers, as you see him on
00:11:02the screen. And while Colombia continues to count
00:11:06the damages, the government announces economic aid for those affected by the
00:11:09earthquake. President Abelardo de la
00:11:12Espriella ordered relief in public services for 3
00:11:16months for the affected people in the department of
00:11:19Risaralda, where the city of
00:11:23Pereira is located. Those who lost their homes will also receive support
00:11:27to pay for temporary rent. The government
00:11:30assures that the priority now is to respond to the affected
00:11:33families and later address the repair and
00:11:37reconstruction. Well, and the number of victims does not
00:11:41stop growing. There are already more than 200 dead, more than
00:11:4570 aftershocks registered after the earthquake
00:11:48on Monday. I'll talk about it with my first guest
00:11:51tonight. And I welcome
00:11:59Álvaro Gómez. He is the communications director
00:12:02of the Cali Fire Department. Álvaro, we saw
00:12:06images, I tell you, I get
00:12:09goosebumps seeing
00:12:12the work you are
00:12:16doing, and in the midst of so much destruction, so much
00:12:19sadness from the disaster we have seen, we see these things.
00:12:23Things that, of course, fill us with optimism.
00:12:26Tell me how the work is going, what you have
00:12:29done, and well, how far you have gone
00:12:33and will go in the coming hours, in the coming
00:12:36days. Go ahead. Well, greetings to you and to all
00:12:40the audience. Thank you for the space. Thank you for having us
00:12:44here. As you well say, it has been days,
00:12:47well, since yesterday, we have been working
00:12:51for more than 24 hours, much more
00:12:53arduously, where our fire
00:12:57units have been in the field
00:13:00with this
00:13:04has been our city, our beloved city of
00:13:07Cali. We, as firefighters,
00:13:10together with the other relief organizations, have been
00:13:14very compatible and united, also
00:13:19of the citizens, who are very supportive. If we excel at something
00:13:23in Cali and in Colombia, it is that we are very supportive.
00:13:25We have been there, at the
00:13:29emergency,
00:13:31that our citizens have needed.
00:13:35And well, we continue to do so. We continue right now
00:13:39from our institution,
00:13:41working for Cali, working right now for our
00:13:43city.
00:13:48Álvaro, I was talking this
00:13:52of the Topos Mexico organization. I imagine you've heard
00:13:56of them at some point. They are some of the
00:13:59most experienced in this type of rescue work,
00:14:02and they have, well, they have
00:14:06worked and cooperated in disasters
00:14:09around the world. I told him they were going to Colombia, and he told
00:14:13me, "Well, in Colombia, there is a lot
00:14:15of experience, and we are waiting for them to
00:14:18tell us." Do you think you have the conditions to
00:14:21face the magnitude of this problem, Álvaro? Well,
00:14:25we have, we have here in Colombia and in
00:14:29Cali specialized urban search and rescue groups.
00:14:32In Santiago de Cali, we are
00:14:35accredited. A group called Usarcol
00:14:3818. Precisely, the flag is here behind me,
00:14:42and we have a specialized team
00:14:44that we have prepared and trained with all the
00:14:48capabilities we have to be able to deal with
00:14:51this type of emergency. However, it is also true
00:14:55that we have devastation, and therefore,
00:14:57we have requested through the municipal risk management system
00:15:01of the mayor's office of Santiago de Cali national aid from
00:15:05other relief organizations. Therefore, we have here
00:15:09firefighters, not only Cali firefighters. We have Jumbo firefighters, Popayán
00:15:12firefighters. We have
00:15:16Bogotá, and not only firefighters but other relief organizations
00:15:19such as COL 1, which is like the
00:15:23Colombian national search and rescue team.
00:15:26So, while it is true that we have our units
00:15:30prepared and we have a reaccreditation
00:15:33of COL 18,
00:15:35of Usarcol 18, and we are
00:15:38prepared, of course, the more
00:15:41hands we have, the better, because we really have a
00:15:44city that is quite
00:15:47affected by the earthquake. So those are the hands that have
00:15:51been helping us.
00:15:53One sees the images and the truth
00:15:57is that one does not stop being amazed, but you are there,
00:16:00Álvaro, you have been there from the
00:16:03very first moment of this situation,
00:16:07attending to emergencies, being there
00:16:11on the ground. Tell us how the situation is
00:16:15today and what we can expect in the
00:16:18coming hours.
00:16:21Well, we go out into the streets of Santiago de Cali, what we see
00:16:24are collapsed structures, what we see
00:16:28are many affectations,
00:16:32of homes, of buildings, of commercial
00:16:35places, people under the
00:16:39rubble, places with more than
00:16:4220 affected people. We see
00:16:45victims, we see people who are
00:16:48really having a hard time, but also with
00:16:52this I want to highlight that we see solidarity,
00:16:56we see unity among the people of Cali, we see solidarity
00:16:59from citizens helping out, we see people
00:17:03who are with us,
00:17:06and not only giving us a word of encouragement, but
00:17:09bringing a plate of food, a sandwich, a drink,
00:17:13an item we need, a flashlight, knee pads, everything.
00:17:17So we have not only focused
00:17:19on seeing this part of the challenge, which is
00:17:23big, but the solidarity of the
00:17:26citizens. We have a supportive city, we have a
00:17:29united city, we have a city that helps
00:17:33us, that rejoices with us when
00:17:35we rescue a victim.
00:17:39They celebrate with us,
00:17:43we also want to highlight, not
00:17:46only the affectations and the destruction, but also
00:17:49to thank Santiago de Cali for the support they have always given
00:17:53us as an institution and for the support they give to the victims, of
00:17:56course.
00:18:00I would like to ask you because we have also seen images
00:18:03that have been
00:18:06circulating in the last few hours, for example, of buildings
00:18:10that are still standing, but
00:18:13in the course of hours, they collapse like houses of
00:18:17cards. Really,
00:18:20they don't hold up. I wonder,
00:18:23do you have as a fire
00:18:27department, evacuation plans, to tell
00:18:31people to get them out of what constitutes a
00:18:34danger? That's one thing, Álvaro, and on the other hand, and I repeat because I'm running out of
00:18:38time, where do you take these people? Where are they
00:18:42sleeping out in the open, in
00:18:45parks? Are there shelters? Are these
00:18:48sufficient? Where are you taking them? Tell me all
00:18:51about it. Okay. Well,
00:18:54we, the
00:18:57buildings,
00:18:59many of them have technical inspections carried out by
00:19:03Cali firefighters, which is the responsibility of each administrator.
00:19:07This technical inspection process must include its
00:19:11safety system, its evacuation
00:19:14plans, everything necessary. Yes,
00:19:17not many have them. Many structures do not have
00:19:20seismic resistance, and this has caused them to possibly
00:19:24collapse. Let's remember that
00:19:26there are many old structures, so
00:19:30that may have caused some of them to collapse.
00:19:33At the same time, there are affectations due to the aftershocks
00:19:36that come after the
00:19:39earthquake itself. So, it is possible that
00:19:42after the earthquake, and we have already had the situation
00:19:46that with any aftershock, however
00:19:49minimal, there may be some weakened structure, and of
00:19:53course, it will collapse at some point. The people,
00:19:56as I told you, we have had a lot of
00:19:59support from people, but we have also been very united with other
00:20:03organizations, other entities at the municipal
00:20:06level. And collection centers have been set
00:20:10up for food collection, for supply collection, for
00:20:14is needed. We are looking for ways to create temporary
00:20:18shelters as well. So yes, the idea
00:20:22is that we are overcoming this calamity little
00:20:26by little. The people, well, we try to ensure
00:20:30that, although it is a challenge, they are well,
00:20:32they are well, they are sheltered,
00:20:35and as I said, in the end, we are all
00:20:39working in close coordination with the different
00:20:42relief agencies and the different municipal
00:20:45entities to ensure that these people do not have such a hard
00:20:49time.
00:20:53Álvaro, my gratitude, my
00:20:56gratitude for the work you do and,
00:20:59of course, for putting your lives at risk so many times.
00:21:03Álvaro, thank you. That was Álvaro Gómez, communications
00:21:07director of the Cali Fire Department. I'm going to have to take a break,
00:21:11but we'll be back with much more information. Don't
00:21:12go away.
00:21:22"the history of life is right
00:21:25here, this is our planet, this is our
00:21:28home,
00:21:30wow, the size of this
00:21:32animal,
00:21:36water has the ability to absorb, to
00:21:39cleanse, to migrate, move, that's nature's
00:21:42magic, to see sight like
00:21:45this gives you such incredible
00:21:48hope. you put your mask on, you get into
00:21:52the water, and you just have this whole world open up to
00:21:55you. The ocean is still the greatest
00:21:58part of this planet. It's time to start giving
00:22:01back. You can wake up every morning with one single
00:22:05priority and save the most important place on earth. Every one of us
00:22:09can create change, and that starts really young. This is
00:22:12ambitious, it's bold, brave, and it's
00:22:15necessary.
00:22:22Here at CNN, the news is first.
00:22:24Molinares to the Capitol. They have
00:22:28already secured the funds for the Department of Homeland Security. When
00:22:32there is a lot at stake, we eliminate the noise to
00:22:35inform you clearly about the issues and policies that
00:22:38impact you, from the decisions made in Washington to
00:22:41their repercussions throughout the United States, Latin America,
00:22:45and the world. Where do relations stand? Relations with the United States.
00:22:49Relations between the United States and Cuba have always been
00:22:53abnormal. Directo USA is that window through
00:22:56which you can enter the United States and see what is happening in this
00:22:59country. We follow the story from all angles
00:23:03to bring you the facts directly. Pro-immigrant
00:23:07groups filed a
00:23:10lawsuit from our studios in Washington. I'm Juan Carlos
00:23:13López. Join me on Directo USA Monday to Friday
00:23:16on CNN. and the city of Pereira,
00:24:44one of the most affected by this earthquake. John Milton
00:24:48Quintero, a resident of that city, is there to
00:24:51tell us how the hours after
00:24:55this earthquake, this strong, strong earthquake, are
00:24:58being experienced. Milton, thank you for the
00:25:01space. I want you to tell
00:25:04me how these last hours have been for
00:25:08you, precisely after
00:25:11this misfortune. Go ahead.
00:25:15Rey, greetings to you and to all
00:25:17the viewers. Let's say the experience has
00:25:21been quite catastrophic. In the midst
00:25:24of everything, I was very lucky. Fortunately,
00:25:28let's say all my loved ones, including myself,
00:25:32are safe. However, the residence I live
00:25:35in was left uninhabitable. For about four to
00:25:39five months, I won't be able to occupy it because it suffered considerable
00:25:43damage. They obviously forced
00:25:46us to evacuate during that earthquake, which I felt as if
00:25:49it were... it actually lasted two minutes, I would say, but it felt
00:25:53like it had been 15 or 20 minutes. It was a
00:25:56feeling of helplessness, especially because
00:25:59in Pereira, we are relatively accustomed to tremors,
00:26:03soft tremors and so on. When that tremor
00:26:05started, I thought it was just another one, but when it
00:26:09extended, when it did not stop, when
00:26:13things in the apartment started
00:26:16to fall, when the walls started to
00:26:19movement did not stop, well, it was seconds of panic that,
00:26:23specifically with the recent experience in
00:26:25Venezuela, I thought we were going to experience, that
00:26:29I personally was going to experience a
00:26:31similar experience. The apartment was quite
00:26:35affected. I insist, with the
00:26:38luck that my mother and I, well,
00:26:41let's say, we came out well, thank God.
00:26:45However, in Pereira, a very complex situation is being experienced, especially in several
00:26:49neighborhoods such as Centenario, Avenida 30 de Agosto, Avenida
00:26:52Circunvalar. Many buildings have suffered,
00:26:56and many buildings are on the verge of collapsing,
00:26:58Rey.
00:27:02Let's see. You speak of the complex situation being experienced, of
00:27:05course, in Pereira, one of the most affected. But tell
00:27:08me about that very complex situation you are referring
00:27:12to, and I ask you, it may be a very simple question,
00:27:15but you are there, you are seeing minute by
00:27:19minute, hour by hour, everything that is happening.
00:27:22What is the greatest concern? Where are people
00:27:25going? How are they feeling
00:27:28it? In short, everything, everything. And for you,
00:27:31of course, what's next? No,
00:27:35the aftershocks, I believe, have been one of the main fears. This
00:27:38morning in Pereira, a 4.7 magnitude aftershock was registered
00:27:42at 11:30 in the morning.
00:27:45Indeed, buildings that are about to collapse, many have already
00:27:49done so in Bolívar Plaza, for example. I believe that has been one of the
00:27:53main fears, Rey, the aftershocks and
00:27:56above all, that help arrives quickly. In Pereira, as I have
00:27:59seen in communications from the mayor's office, several collection
00:28:03centers have been set up, one of them
00:28:06is in Consota, which is in the Cuba neighborhood. There are others that have been
00:28:10installed in the main Coliseum. There are also shelter centers where
00:28:13people have been able to attend, located in Cuba,
00:28:17in the main Coliseum as well. That is to say, there
00:28:20are several points that have been adapted so that, obviously, people
00:28:24can go to receive help. However, to answer your
00:28:27question, Rey, one of the main fears are the possible
00:28:30aftershocks and, obviously, the buildings that were
00:28:34quite damaged. There are still many people under the
00:28:37rubble, and the idea is, obviously, that the authorities, who
00:28:41are doing an excellent job, can continue with this
00:28:45help. But mainly, the issue of the
00:28:48aftershocks has been quite a source
00:28:51of fear for the
00:28:52community.
00:28:56What's next for you,
00:28:57Milton?
00:29:01Rey, excuse me. I didn't hear you, can you repeat please?
00:29:04Yes, I was asking you,
00:29:07one, what's next for you, and of course, a question
00:29:10that always, every time there is this type of emergency, is brought to the
00:29:14table: Are we, and this includes all of us, because
00:29:17also, for example, in Mexico and in other parts, in Venezuela, we just
00:29:21saw it too, well, these
00:29:25are places where these types of events occur
00:29:28more and more frequently, and the question is, are we
00:29:31prepared to face these
00:29:35emergencies? Rey, I feel that we are
00:29:38never going to be prepared, no matter how much training
00:29:41and how much pedagogy is done. I experienced
00:29:44the Coffee Axis earthquake of 1999. I experienced it here in
00:29:48Pereira. I was born here in Pereira, and
00:29:51really, let's say,
00:29:54lessons are learned in the moment, I think,
00:29:58Rey. So one always talks afterwards about the importance of having
00:30:02a family plan, of having, for example, right now, when
00:30:05there is no electricity in many areas of the city, when there is no
00:30:10access to the internet, well, let's say that one
00:30:13reconfigures those plans. But I feel
00:30:17that it will always be
00:30:20the one I experienced in 1999, was even much
00:30:23harder, it was much longer, and I
00:30:26feel that regardless of whether one is prepared,
00:30:30pedagogically to know what to do in... those kinds of
00:30:32circumstances will never be enough because what you experience at that
00:30:36moment, that is, the
00:30:40the screen, these are moments of panic where
00:30:43effectively, uh, many of the things one has
00:30:46learned are not
00:30:47applied,
00:30:50totally, I totally agree, one is never prepared for this, but
00:30:54well, you have to try and prepare for these
00:30:57emergencies, thank you uh,
