00:01:48at Anáhuac University in
00:02:49Israel will not withdraw from
00:02:59information on the stories
00:03:01respectfully. In addition, in
00:03:14Mancora, the best surf destination in
00:03:17Colombia completes seven
00:03:19a doubt, let's say it is consistent with days of the deadly and devastating earthquake that marked the first week of President
00:03:23Abelardo de la Estrella's term. Nearly
00:03:27300 people are dead and almost 200 are still
00:03:30missing, but the impact extends to more than
00:03:33120,000 families, many of whom have had to take refuge
00:03:37in temporary shelters, with tens
00:03:40but also NATO members militarily, of thousands of damaged homes and other material
00:03:42losses, in many cases of personal belongings that
00:03:46now represent pain for the
00:03:49victims. De la Espiella said that he will soon
00:03:52present a reconstruction plan after various infrastructure
00:03:56was damaged and in some cases completely destroyed.
00:04:07relationship, with Russia, despite
00:04:12And yes, a week has passed since the earthquake in Colombia. Some data according to the latest balance
00:04:16to dimension the tragedy: five departmental
00:04:19capitals were put on red alert due to the damage. The official
00:04:23death toll dropped for the second time and stands at
00:04:26287, 287 fatal
00:04:30victims, down from 294
00:04:33reported on Saturday. This adjustment occurred once two reports
00:04:37were consolidated, a complex count that
00:04:40took days to unify among the
00:04:43472 affected municipalities. The national
00:04:46unit for disaster risk management
00:04:49counts 127,608
00:04:53damaged homes, 26,392
00:04:57destroyed, and 197 buildings.
00:05:00In addition, more than 120,000 families
00:05:03are affected. There are at least 4,147
00:05:07injured and more than 190 people who still
00:05:10have not been located. Also affected
00:05:13were more than 300 health
00:05:17centers, more than 3,200 educational
00:05:19centers, and more than 4,000 community centers,
00:05:23as well as 410 roads, 95
00:05:26aqueducts, 48 vehicular
00:05:29bridges, 13 pedestrian bridges, and five
00:05:33airports. Along with donations from several countries, the World
00:05:36Bank made available 200 million dollars to
00:05:39support the immediate response and recovery. This
00:05:43devastating earthquake occurred during the first week of the new President
00:05:47Abelardo de la Espiella's government.
00:05:50Far from the coldness of the numbers, citizens continue to fight
00:05:54to recover something of what was lost, even more so
00:05:58when it comes to the memories of a lifetime
00:06:01shared with a loved one who may no longer
00:06:04be there. Wilson Barco spoke in Cali with a colleague in such a
00:06:08painful and special moment.
00:06:13Perhaps this will be the most painful report I have
00:06:16done. I love you because you are my
00:06:19teacher, you know
00:06:21that.
00:06:28This is what I have recovered from my house, and for
00:06:32no one is this important,
00:06:34only for me, the photos of my childhood, the photos
00:06:37of my youth, the photos with my
00:06:41father.
00:06:44This has unique value for us, look
00:06:47at this, look at this, my
00:06:51father, brother, playing his guitar, my
00:06:54childhood.
00:06:57This has enormous value and I think
00:07:00it's not just about picking up the asphalt, Wilson, in the
00:07:03memories, because for the people who lost everything here, this is the only thing they have, you
00:07:07understand?
00:07:10Meanwhile, in Manizales, another of the most impacted cities by
00:07:13the earthquake in the department of Caldas, people remain in shelter
00:07:16while they try to rebuild their lives, and after
00:07:20losing loved ones, their homes and in some cases even their means
00:07:24of subsistence, the needs are many, but
00:07:28so is the willingness to support them from different
00:07:31fronts. This is the report that our special envoy Fernando
00:07:35Ramos sent us from the
00:07:36area.
00:07:40Have you ever wondered
00:07:42what it's like to lose the security of a roof, the warmth
00:07:46of your own room, to have
00:07:49everyone around you, your family, your friends, and suddenly
00:07:53lose everything? Well, these people are
00:07:56experiencing that, precisely after the earthquake recorded in
00:08:00Colombia last Monday. It's very
00:08:03difficult, honestly very difficult because we always think we'll never
00:08:06lose things, right? And that's something you don't
00:08:10expect. It was something sudden and unexpected, but from it we learn
00:08:14a lot that life is only a second. Here in the city of Manizales
00:08:17there are nearly 500
00:08:21affected people, and in this coliseum there are at least
00:08:2547 families who are being attended to in their
00:08:28basic needs. Here families arrive with their dogs,
00:08:32their cats, their companion animals. Some people come
00:08:35alone, there are children, there are elderly people, and what
00:08:39we provide here, in addition to providing a place to sleep,
00:08:43is food, health. We have a doctor
00:08:46here permanently, where we are making a tour trying
00:08:50to improve the well-being of people. In this type of
00:08:52emergency, not only are supplies,
00:08:56food, personal hygiene items, medicines needed, but perhaps something
00:08:59deeper, affection. And this is
00:09:03a mobile clinic to care for people who have been victims
00:09:07of this earthquake. Carlos, you
00:09:10are here because people need more than food
00:09:14and shelter, they need affection, isn't that
00:09:16right? It's true, Fernando, what we mean is that these primary
00:09:20needs are very important: shelter, food, water, but
00:09:24where is the emotional nourishment? There are people who are
00:09:27devastated, homeless, with nothing, and no matter how many times
00:09:31they want to eat, sometimes they get food and they don't want it, they want a
00:09:34hug. Music heals wounds
00:09:37and this group knows it, and that's
00:09:39why they have come voluntarily to this shelter
00:09:43to give these families a moment of joy,
00:09:47even if only for a short time.
00:09:53We have to give a little because during the pandemic we were artists who went out into
00:09:56the streets and many of these people who are here victims
00:09:59supported us, that is, we are giving back this without
00:10:03any cost. We have to cheer up the souls of people, music lightens the
00:10:06load.
00:10:11At least one or two months
00:10:15these people will be in shelters, in Manizales, in Pereira, in
00:10:18Cali, Buenaventura and Quibdó in Chocó, the
00:10:21regions most affected by the earthquake. Then they will have
00:10:25to go out and rebuild their lives. Will they
00:10:28succeed? Only time will tell. For
00:10:31CNN, Fernando Ramos, Manizales, Colombia.
00:10:44US Special Envoy Jared Kushner stated that there could be
00:10:48progress in Gaza very soon if both sides cooperate, including Hamas
00:10:51voluntarily surrendering its weapons in the next
00:10:5560 to 90 days, which would mean eliminating a
00:10:58huge threat to Israel's security. However, he stated
00:11:02in an interview with Fox News after his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister
00:11:05Netanyahu that the United
00:11:08States would support further military actions by Israel if
00:11:11Hamas does not comply with disarmament. Meanwhile,
00:11:15from Tehran, they insist that the United States has not won the war and
00:11:18that control of the Strait of Hormuz remains in Iranian
00:11:21hands, as Sale Mergi reports below from
00:11:25Jerusalem:
00:11:28After the memorandum of understanding signed exactly two
00:11:31months ago between Iran and the United States
00:11:35expires today, they enter a new, more uncertain phase, but with the same
00:11:38warnings, threats, and proclamations. Today, the Iranian
00:11:42regime has responded to President Trump by stating, on the one
00:11:46hand, that it has control of the Strait of Hormuz, and on the other,
00:11:50according to the words of the Iranian chief negotiator and president of the
00:11:53parliament, Mohamed Kalibaf, that the victory of the
00:11:56war belongs to Iran and, therefore, he says, its
00:12:00enemies, the United States and Israel, did not achieve their
00:12:04objectives during the war they launched last
00:12:08February 28th. Meanwhile, Iran confirms that
00:12:11negotiations with Oman on the management of the
00:12:14Strait of Hormuz continue. However, they recognize that these
00:12:18are complex negotiations. Oman, a country
00:12:20that today once again saw President
00:12:24Trump threaten to attack it if, he says,
00:12:27it stands in his way regarding his demands,
00:12:30basically concerning the Strait of Hormuz.
00:12:34In all this, Trump's special envoy, his son-in-law, Jared
00:12:38Kushner, is currently in Israel, after completing
00:12:42a long meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
00:12:44Netanyahu, after also meeting with the leaders of
00:12:48Hamas and the mediators Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey in
00:12:51Egypt. The objective is the same: to promote
00:12:55the peace plan for the Gaza Strip. In the meeting with
00:12:59Netanyahu, Kushner asked him to do everything
00:13:02possible to advance the peace plan, and also to ensure
00:13:06there are no obstacles to it. They have agreed, according
00:13:10to various sources, that
00:13:14the Gaza Strip until Hamas
00:13:17fully accepts
00:13:20disarmament. Israel states that it will continue to act militarily
00:13:24to, it says, thwart immediate
00:13:27threats. Kushner's objective is clear: that the Gaza
00:13:31front does not flare up
00:13:34again. For CNN, Sale Mergy,

00:13:44surprising shift in policy towards his ally South
00:13:48Korea by announcing the reduction of joint military exercises,
00:13:51and later the presidential campaign
00:13:55in Brazil officially begins, in which President Luis

00:17:30announced that his country will reduce military exercises with its ally
00:17:34South Korea. As reasons, Trump cited his good relationship with North
00:17:38Korean leader Kim Jong-un, as well as Seoul's
00:17:41lack of help with Iran. And Ione Molinares now reports from
00:17:45Washington on the possible repercussions and
00:17:48reaction to the President's statements. Hours before these
00:17:52military exercises with South
00:17:54Korea began, which last approximately
00:17:5810 days, the president announced
00:18:01through social media
00:18:05that he had ordered
00:18:08a substantial reduction of these joint military
00:18:12exercises with South Korea, partly stating that it had to do
00:18:15with the very good relationship Trump has with the North Korean
00:18:19leader, Kim Jong Un, but also because he says that these
00:18:23military exercises are very expensive for a country that does not recognize their
00:18:27importance, according to the president, and that these military exercises
00:18:31send a hostile message to a country
00:18:34like North Korea that has treated him
00:18:38the Oval Office, the president also told the story of a conversation
00:18:42he had with the president of South Korea, after he had
00:18:46asked him, had asked him to assist in the war
00:18:50in the war that the United States is waging in
00:18:53Iran, and this was the
00:18:54account.
00:18:58He has always treated me with great respect and we have met on numerous
00:19:01occasions, actually on two main occasions, we have spoken and
00:19:05spent time together. I understand him, he understands me, they
00:19:08are playing war games and I get along with
00:19:11him. These exercises,
00:19:15which are carried out frequently, were planned
00:19:18to last 10 days on this occasion, and among
00:19:22other traditional matters, these joint maneuvers were going to address
00:19:25anti-drone issues, as well as cyberattack exercises and
00:19:29also GPS interception, in addition to the
00:19:32presence of some 18,000 South
00:19:36Korean soldiers. The opposition here in Congress is
00:19:40concerned. The Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee
00:19:43issued a statement, upset by what they say
00:19:47is a danger to international interests and
00:19:51especially to the interests of the United States in that region,
00:19:54that these types of military maneuvers be reduced.
00:19:57The war that Trump chose in Iran is failing
00:20:01so badly that he is now reducing joint exercises
00:20:05with a 70-year ally.
00:20:07Hours before they began, because South Korea did not want to help in his illegal
00:20:11war effort. Our alliance with South Korea makes
00:20:14the United States safer and Trump is undermining
00:20:17it.
00:20:20Well, it is not clear how the opposition can make its displeasure
00:20:23heard, although there are those who are concerned that this
00:20:27maneuver could affect the interests of the United States in the
00:20:31region, contain rivals such as North
00:20:34Korea itself and China and, especially,
00:20:38the leadership that the United States can continue to maintain
00:20:42in that region. Leonel Molinares, CNN,
00:20:44Washington.
00:20:47The contradictions of President Trump no longer surprise many, but his
00:20:51threatening attitude to exert pressure on his allies, while
00:20:55appearing affable and cordial with those who could be considered
00:20:58his adversaries, remains puzzling. A foreign
00:21:02policy that causes uncertainty, sometimes
00:21:05open rejection among his allies, while it does not seem
00:21:08to yield any fruit in his relations with enemies. We analyze
00:21:12the effects of this policy with Professor Héctor Herrera, head
00:21:16of the Anáhuac Global Analysis Observatory at the university
00:21:20of the same name, the Anáhuac University in Mexico
00:21:23City. Welcome to
00:21:26Panorama Mundial, Professor, thank you for being with us. Something that strikes
00:21:30me about the very flattering comments Trump made today about
00:21:33Kim Jong-un is that the President seems to have forgotten or
00:21:37ignores that Tehran collaborated in the development of
00:21:40missile technology in the 90s with Iran, the very
00:21:44country with which the United States is now at war.
00:21:47Professor, what does this tell us about
00:21:51the way the US President thinks, and how do you explain
00:21:54this apparent contradiction? Welcome and good evening. Hello
00:21:58Rafael, good evening, thank you for the space. Indeed,
00:22:02it seems like a contradiction, two different ways of handling a case
00:22:05that appears similar. In the specific case of Iran, what we see is
00:22:09a softening of measures, particularly, we saw it especially
00:22:13with the end of the 60-day deadline that the United States and Iran had
00:22:17signed, and therefore a more belligerent rhetoric. Much more
00:22:20aggressive, even the proposal to bomb Oman if
00:22:24Oman assisted Iran awakens a much more aggressive reaction,
00:22:27and with North Korea it seems a completely different case
00:22:31in that he tells us that there is good
00:22:34communication with the North Korean president, that he will resolve
00:22:38it through dialogue and that the three meetings they have had have been very
00:22:41productive. The truth is that we also have a United States that
00:22:45arrives at a different scenario with North Korea. The conflict with Iran
00:22:48also changes the United States' position on the global board,
00:22:52and furthermore, North Korea is a very close ally of Russia and China,
00:22:56so the United States also knows that it is a conflict that involves these
00:23:00actors much more directly. I would say that it is a
00:23:03contradiction if we analyze these two cases, Iran and North
00:23:07Korea, but it does not seem like a contradiction, especially with the first
00:23:10version of Donald Trump that we knew in 2018 and 2019, who
00:23:14believed that through dialogue and a personal relationship with Kim
00:23:17Jong Un he would be able to resolve the conflict. No, in that sense, it seems
00:23:21very consistent with his first administration, also with the
00:23:24"Make America Great Again" discourse within the United States of no more military
00:23:28interventionism and focusing on internal affairs. Yes,
00:23:31certainly, the contradiction is very open and
00:23:35very clear, and I believe that the issue goes
00:23:39further. Today it was South Korea and Oman. Since he
00:23:42returned to power, Canada, Mexico and other countries have been in the
00:23:46sights of Donald Trump. What has been the impact, Professor, of
00:23:50this policy of going against allied countries that have stood
00:23:53the test of time and favoring nations governed by
00:23:57authoritarian regimes, as we had discussed
00:24:00previously, North Korea and well, I would also like
00:24:04to include Saudi Arabia, right? Without
00:24:09the "Make America Great Again" discourse and with which he won the election in the first
00:24:13campaign, a less interventionist United States that
00:24:16at the same time shares its responsibilities with traditional
00:24:20allies. Trump had been very critical of the abuse that
00:24:23the United States supposedly received from traditional allies like
00:24:27Mexico and Canada economically,
00:24:30also the case of South Korea and Japan against the case
00:24:34of North Korea. So, in those terms, he recovers somewhat
00:24:37this idea of shared responsibility, of assuming
00:24:41the burden so that the United States is not the only one that
00:24:44bears the military costs, but of course this
00:24:48has left the United States much more isolated.
00:24:50There has been no rapprochement with traditional enemies,
00:24:53that is, with Iran there is still a conflictive
00:24:57the good personal chemistry between Putin and Trump, we have not seen a
00:25:01very close relationship either, and with China it has been much more cordial, and
00:25:05at the same time it causes, in the case of traditional allies, a strong
00:25:09distancing, a NATO that feels abandoned on the European
00:25:12front, which has even decided to act more unilaterally,
00:25:15avoiding the United States, and a North
00:25:19America that is uncertain economically. I would say that this
00:25:22completely weakens the United States because it is a very erratic policy that
00:25:26punishes traditional enemies and allies alike and leaves
00:25:30the United States in a very isolated position in a context of
00:25:33multiple international rivalry with many poles
00:25:36emerging economically, politically, and militarily. Certainly, Professor,
00:25:39here I want to return to something that
00:25:43we were discussing at the beginning, the president said today that the United
00:25:47States has 39,000 soldiers in South Korea and
00:25:50suggested that because the Asian
00:25:53country refused to support Washington's war in Iran,
00:25:56his government could withdraw those soldiers,
00:26:00leaving the South Koreans at the mercy of Kim Jong-un and his
00:26:02military arsenal. It would seem, Professor,
00:26:06here I want to ask for your opinion, it would seem that the president
00:26:09is acting out of spite and not based
00:26:12on a foreign policy based on geopolitics. What do his statements
00:26:16today tell us? I completely agree with your vision, Rafael.
00:26:19In fact, it is a statement that John Bolton, who was Trump's security
00:26:23advisor in his first administration, also observed at the time.
00:26:27He said: Donald Trump believes that
00:26:30diplomacy operates like New York real estate, that it is enough to
00:26:33threaten, to show strength to get better prices, that
00:26:37it is personal relationships of friendship that change
00:26:40international politics, and he does not understand that fundamentally states are not
00:26:44governed by personal relationships or friendship, there are no friends or enemies
00:26:47in the international arena, but there are interests that can
00:26:51generate allies, particularly rival actors, and it seems
00:26:55that Trump does not understand that logic of international politics, unlike
00:26:59Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping, for example, who do act
00:27:03based on interests. That is why the failure of the Alaska summit, in which
00:27:06Trump wanted to achieve with a brief conversation with Putin, an exchange in
00:27:10Ukraine, that is also why the failure of the first meeting with
00:27:13Kim in 2018 in Singapore, where personal
00:27:17relationship did not modify the interests of North
00:27:20Korea, pardon me, and its nuclear program. So, in that logic,
00:27:24we have a politician who acts based on personal interests, on
00:27:27emotions, more under the logic of creating ties
00:27:30that will change international politics than concrete interests
00:27:34that guide and move international relations. Certainly, Professor,
00:27:38unfortunately, we are running out of time. I want to thank
00:27:42you for being with us on the program, Professor Héctor Herrera,
00:27:45head of the Anáhuac Global Analysis Observatory
00:27:51Mexico City. Thank you, Professor, good evening. Thank
