00:03:22At this time and every day, it is my pleasure to greet our viewers
00:03:26by always giving them a warm welcome to our front-page broadcast.
00:03:30With Alejandra Forero, with great
00:03:32part of what is already the territory of La Guaira, pleasure we greet all of you who are well tuned in,
00:03:35hoping you had an excellent Tuesday. We begin with local
00:03:39news and this time with what was communicated by the
00:03:43Aruban police force through their social networks, two
00:03:46isolated incidents that have nothing to do with each other, but
00:03:50nevertheless are still under investigation. Two
00:03:54into total chaos. Everything was normal deceased were found yesterday in different locations,
00:03:57according to what the police force indicated.
00:04:01Two men were found dead yesterday, Monday, in different parts of
00:04:05Aruba in isolated incidents that are being investigated by the
00:04:08authorities, none had anything to
00:04:11energy, difficulty do with the other. The first case occurred at 6:15 in the morning
00:04:13when the police received a report about a body found on the coast of
00:04:17Bachelor Beach in the vicinity there at the Anchor. A patrol
00:04:21from San Nicolas went to the scene and confirmed the discovery of this lifeless
00:04:25man whose body was in an advanced state of
00:04:27decomposition. So far, the identity has not been established. At the
00:04:31scene were the forensic doctor, police
00:04:35personnel, investigators, the human trafficking unit, victim assistance, and
00:04:38the fire department.
00:04:42Later, in another incident that had nothing to do with the first, at
00:04:4610:49 in the morning, a
00:04:49second discovery occurred, this time in the Primavera
00:04:51area. A person walking through the area
00:04:54saw a body among the vegetation and alerted the
00:04:58authorities. Upon arrival, the officers also found the lifeless body
00:05:02of this man in an advanced state of decomposition. The
00:05:06victim was identified as Glenn Obispa, born in
00:05:09Aruba, who had been missing for several days and was being
00:05:12sought by his family. Both cases occurred in
00:05:16different circumstances and remain under investigation.
00:05:19The Aruban police force expressed its condolences to
00:05:23the families and reminded that those who have information can
00:05:26call line 11 1 41 and remain
00:05:30anonymous.
00:05:32Changing the subject, minimum wage, housing, and
00:05:36also the cost of living were some of the topics that were discussed today
00:05:40by the disc. course of His Excellency the Governor of
00:05:44Aruba, this in commemoration of the beginning of the
00:05:47parliamentary year
00:05:482026-2027.
00:05:52A new parliamentary year opened its
00:05:55doors to continue working with vision, responsibility
00:05:59and commitment. The minimum wage, housing, health and
00:06:02economic diversification were some of the main
00:06:06announcements of the government of Aruba for the beginning of the
00:06:09parliamentary year 2026-2027.
00:06:12During the official opening, the governor, His Excellency, Mr.
00:06:16Alfonso Buckhaut, presented the executive's plans, which are
00:06:20centered on what is called shared prosperity. One of the
00:06:23central announcements is a new law to link the minimum
00:06:27wage to the subsistence minimum. The goal is that
00:06:30no worker earns less than what is necessary to cover their
00:06:34basic needs. The government assures that this
00:06:37measure will be accompanied by support for small and
00:06:40medium-sized enterprises. Also, there will be greater attention to
00:06:44affordable housing, the recovery of Orangestad and San
00:06:47Nicolas, improvements in neighborhoods, schools and
00:06:50monuments, in addition to new reforestation projects.
00:06:54In terms of health, the plan is to strengthen prevention,
00:06:57primary care and mental health, along with new protection
00:07:01measures for families with children with special
00:07:04needs. In economic matters, the government is committed to
00:07:08diversifying the economy and opening space for sectors such as
00:07:11financial technology, agriculture, the blue
00:07:15economy, creative industries and clean
00:07:18energy. Tourism will continue to be key, and while Aruba
00:07:22celebrates 40 years of separate status, the government assures that the
00:07:26challenge will be to combine economic growth with greater
00:07:29social well-being, security and a future
00:07:32vision for the island.
00:07:35The Department of Public Health has begun what
00:07:39is the school vaccination campaign for the children of the island.
00:07:42It is important that this year, for the first time, they are applying the vaccine against
00:07:46the human papillomavirus to children in class 6. This information
00:07:50is important for parents to keep in
00:07:53mind. during the national school
00:07:57vaccination campaign 2026-2027,
00:08:00the youth health section of the public health department
00:08:04offers the HPV vaccine, which is
00:08:06the human papillomavirus, to girls and, starting this year,
00:08:10it will also be for boys in sixth
00:08:12grade. The human papillomavirus is a very common virus that
00:08:16can cause different types of cancer later in
00:08:20life, both in women and also in men who can contract the
00:08:24virus and develop HPV-related cancer.
00:08:27The vaccine is offered at an early age because it provides
00:08:31protection before a person is exposed to the virus, that
00:08:35is, through sexual relations. By vaccinating both
00:08:38girls and boys, Aruba is protecting against the human
00:08:42papillomavirus and contributes to preventing different types
00:08:46of cancer in our population. Before
00:08:49vaccination, parents or legal representatives
00:08:52receive information and a consent form. Without
00:08:56authorization, this youth section will not administer the vaccine. For
00:08:59questions or more information, you can contact 5:22
00:09:034200.
00:09:07We begin our international
00:09:13round in Colombia, because about four weeks more or less
00:09:17after this unfortunate earthquake in the coffee
00:09:21region, many Pereirans have to
00:09:24start from scratch after their commercial premises
00:09:28were not only damaged by the earthquake, but also because
00:09:31unfortunately they were later looted. The director of
00:09:35Caracol news has the report.
00:09:38For four weeks now, this has been the
00:09:43daily bread in one of the most commercial sectors of the coffee
00:09:46region and of Colombia.
00:09:49Clearing debris, lifting remains of
00:09:52stores, offices, complete buildings that the
00:09:55earthquake took on August 10th. This was my business, it was
00:09:59an electrical business, lighting and
00:10:02hardware, look and see how it has turned out, besides the fact that
00:10:05we were left with practically nothing, the little
00:10:08we had left was taken away. They looted us, I can't
00:10:11believe it, the people who have nothing to do with the issue
00:10:15took away the little we had left, they were taking
00:10:19little things, little things until look, look how everything is left, they are even
00:10:22taking the walls to take the cables, that is the saddest thing, that after
00:10:26coming from a tragedy like this, they come and loot you, after
00:10:30having difficulties with mumps, yes, of course, and they come and loot the little
00:10:33that is left, the drama of this man is translated into figures, the
00:10:37losses exceed 355 billion
00:10:40pesos, 620 businesses completely
00:10:43collapsed, 1800 have serious
00:10:46damage, 1600 more have minor damage and more
00:10:50than 2,500 lost all their merchandise.
00:10:54The story is repeated on every
00:10:58corner of the city center, here there is
00:11:01clothing, shoes, jewelry, cell phones, toys, in
00:11:05short, everything, only a fortunate few can
00:11:08reopen and, a paradox of destiny, they open their doors to
00:11:12reactivate sales when their neighbors pick up what was left to them
00:11:16among the ruins, but here the only thing destroyed is the
00:11:20material, here the heart of the Pereirans and of our
00:11:23merchants, is more active than ever, with a great desire to
00:11:27reactivate and with the desire to rebuild and reactivate our center of
00:11:30Pereira, I just spoke with a gentleman there who lost everything, those in front
00:11:34lost everything, these premises are closed, these
00:11:37buildings are many of them to be demolished,
00:11:41how do you lift not only the spirits but also the morale of the people
00:11:45who have worked here for so many years to say come
00:11:48let's start over a life of commerce, of
00:11:51work, of entrepreneurship? I believe that if there is one thing that merchants have, and
00:11:55especially merchants in Pereira, it is
00:11:58resilience, and we have been able to see it here, there are many affected
00:12:01businesses that the next day went to
00:12:04fix their things, they went to take out the merchandise from the affected
00:12:08premises, but the only thing that was affected, as I told you, was the
00:12:12infrastructure, the heart remained intact, they went to look for
00:12:15new premises, to reopen in new warehouses, to generate new
00:12:19opportunities despite the situation. For the mayor of
00:12:23part of the drama, there are more than 24 homes in his
00:12:27city in Pereira destroyed by the earthquake, a monumental
00:12:31challenge that is also translated into figures, in
00:12:35reconstruction that will take years, well, at the
00:12:38moment there is an announcement about the creation of the Miracle fund, we are
00:12:41waiting for the regulations to be issued, the regulatory
00:12:45decrees at the national level, pertinent to the
00:12:49route for the reconstruction of these cities
00:12:52affected by the earthquake, tomorrow precisely we already have a
00:12:56meeting with the manager designated by the president to
00:12:59define those steps to follow, those steps imply something that is
00:13:03key, money, resources, how much is needed to rebuild
00:13:06Pereira? Preliminarily we have an
00:13:09estimated 10 billion
00:13:13pesos, 10 billion for Pereira, 10
00:13:16billion for Pereira only, and
00:13:19well, effectively we achieve this with financial
00:13:22resources, we do our part here, and
00:13:25well, we are in that, but it is the national government that has
00:13:29to make the greatest effort and well, we are confident that this will
00:13:32happen. In Venezuela, families are also
00:13:35trying to rebuild their lives after the two
00:13:39earthquakes that affected them on June 24th. Many
00:13:43families indicate that despite the help that has arrived, they still
00:13:46need much more to be able to move forward.
00:13:50More than an hour from Caracas.
00:13:53If you travel by car in the most remote
00:13:57there is a community that is trying to recover not only from the
00:14:00earthquakes, but also from oblivion, it is called Las
00:14:03Medinas. They were all Medinas, the cousins, the aunts, the
00:14:06sisters, everyone, that's why that sector is
00:14:09called Las Medinas, their family and their neighbors not only share the
00:14:13surname, but also the calamity.
00:14:16A tremor, the truth, I
00:14:20never imagined that this was going to happen. Today they can see a
00:14:24different dawn from their new homes donated by the international
00:14:27organization Techo. Techo has been around for more than 30 years and today
00:14:31it reaches 18 countries. They have already installed 17 of
00:14:35the 200 houses planned for Venezuela. We have worked in more than 50
00:14:39emergencies. We have built more than 35 modules. The local
00:14:42and foreign volunteers are vital, they provided a solution
00:14:45and mainly quality of life, because even sleeping was
00:14:48impossible. The truth, the first time I slept,
00:14:52I felt relief
00:14:56because it shows that it is at high risk, it has a red
00:15:00card, I sit in the kitchen of my house at night when everything is in
00:15:03silence and the walls crack, despite the fact that their houses
00:15:07were about to collapse, they had to take shelter there because
00:15:10government aid never arrived, attention to a young man with
00:15:14reduced mobility due to a congenital condition was
00:15:17a priority, today he is recovering from the emotional
00:15:21impact, a piece of
00:15:23wall on his head and everything, but thank God it didn't go any
00:15:27further, after that I was
00:15:31in shock, I was like...
00:15:34traumatized, so to speak, Techo's works will continue in Venezuela, similar to those
00:15:37that are also carried out in Colombia, and now they made
00:15:41me a happy home,
00:15:44and I have a
00:15:46canal, making the affected visible and
00:15:49helping them has been the great
00:15:52reward. And now we go to Ecuador where,
00:15:56in the last few hours, four Venezuelan citizens were
00:16:00deported by the authorities after they posted
00:16:03videos mocking the authorities and also, it seems,
00:16:07because they are delivery drivers. According to what has
00:16:10been reported, thanks to social media, they managed to
00:16:12capture them. The government of Ecuador.
00:16:16Over the weekend, this
00:16:17video went viral on social
00:16:20media, in which four Venezuelan citizens who were making
00:16:24home deliveries were mocking the new rules that will govern
00:16:28Ecuador for delivery
00:16:32and ask them to suck it with their new rules, we will still
00:16:35be eating, with passport or without
00:16:38passport we will still be making money, in the video
00:16:41they also defied a possible deportation, and
00:16:44if they deport me I'll come back and keep being a delivery driver
00:16:48just so you know, but the mocking tone didn't last
00:16:51long, this Sunday the Minister of the Interior John
00:16:54Reymberg published a video in which he reported that the four
00:16:57citizens were deported along with
00:17:01the images. The minister warned that no one is above the
00:17:04law, it is that the reforms to the traffic law regulate for the first time
00:17:07the delivery service in Ecuador and create a national registry of
00:17:11delivery drivers that will be in charge of the national transit
00:17:15agency, among the new provisions is that delivery drivers
00:17:19must have specific permits for the
00:17:22service, in the case of foreign drivers they must validate
00:17:25in Ecuador the license obtained in their country of
00:17:28origin, keep their migratory documents valid, the use of
00:17:31approved helmets and visible reflective vests will also be
00:17:34mandatory, and while making deliveries, drivers will not
00:17:38be able to carry accompanying passengers, these measures
00:17:41seek to strengthen control over delivery service, given
00:17:45the alerts that people dedicated to criminal activities may
00:17:48use this activity as a facade to commit robberies,
00:17:52assaults or other crimes. The draft reforms
00:17:56to the traffic law were approved by the full National Assembly
00:18:00and now must be sent to the President of the Republic who
00:18:03may sanction or object to it.
00:18:07And we return to Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. In the last few hours, two
00:18:10people were arrested by the authorities because they
00:18:14pretended to be
00:18:16alleged medical surgeons and had already performed
00:18:21surgeries. Not only had they made a fake
00:18:24diploma, but they were also endangering the lives of their
00:18:28patients: with the aim of materializing
00:18:31two arrest warrants. This is the moment in which
00:18:35Esteban Felipe Enao and Ruth Verónica Lingua Jaramillo, a
00:18:37couple who, according to the prosecutor's investigation, posed as
00:18:41medical surgeons, were arrested in Bogotá. In search and seizure
00:18:45operations, the CTI of the Prosecutor's Office found in the couple's home
00:18:48elements used to perform various invasive procedures,
00:18:52such as syringes, needles, medications and medical elements. They also
00:18:55had false diplomas with which they apparently
00:18:59accredited a supposed professional training that, according to the
00:19:03prosecutor's office, never existed. In the indictment hearing, it was revealed that
00:19:06Esteban Felipe Enao sought to accredit his false diplomas before
00:19:10health authorities. He directly performed
00:19:14various cosmetic surgeries on the victims,
00:19:17without having any type of medical training or sanitary
00:19:20authorization or anything related to health, you are
00:19:24a high school graduate. The investigation began to take shape with the testimonies of the victims
00:19:27according to the accuser, they performed irregular procedures on
00:19:30about 200 people, after being attracted through social
00:19:34networks with promotions and attractive prices. With only the payments made
00:19:38by 59 of the people identified in the investigation, the
00:19:41couple would have received more than 568 million
00:19:45pesos. The prosecutor's office documented some cases in which the victims
00:19:48woke up during the surgeries and, given the
00:19:51manifestations of pain, the now prosecuted individuals allegedly
00:19:55covered their mouths and held them down to prevent them from screaming. For this
00:19:58reason, the couple was individually charged with the crimes of
00:20:01conspiracy to commit a crime, mass fraud and material falsehood
00:20:05in a public document in an aggravated manner, in addition to procedural
00:20:09fraud, charges that were accepted by those who, according to the prosecutor's
00:20:12office, had for years worked as fake
00:20:15doctors. We'll take a commercial
00:20:19break, but we'll be back with more
00:20:23information. September, Suicide Prevention Month in the United
00:20:26States.
00:20:28Our story was built by
00:20:31Septiembre, mes de prevención del suicidio en los Estados
00:20:34Unidos.
00:21:24people, neighbors helping neighbors, standing side
00:21:28by side with those who trust us, to protect what matters
00:21:31most and help build our communities,
00:21:35being there when needed most,
00:21:38across borders, across
00:21:42generations, still growing,
00:21:45still giving, still just getting.
00:21:48We continue with more information
00:23:36through Front Page. September is a month in which in countries
00:23:39like the United States, awareness is generated about
00:23:45prevention for mental health. What is the main
00:23:49theme this year? Today on Front Page we talk about your health, so
00:23:52take care of it.
00:23:54It is a very common problem in
00:24:04the United States. In 2024, suicide was
00:24:07responsible for nearly 49 deaths and
00:24:10the rate among men was almost four times higher
00:24:14than among women.
00:24:17Clinical psychologist David
00:24:22Alperovit points out that, although men account for almost
00:24:2680% of all suicide deaths,
00:24:30around 60% of those men were not
00:24:33receiving help as they had no documented mental health
00:24:36history. He says that warning signs of depression
00:24:40can be more subtle in men and
00:24:44include irritability, frustration, outbursts of
00:24:47anger, social isolation, physical
00:24:51stress, substance use or abuse, and also
00:24:54more typical symptoms such as changes in sleep and
00:24:58appetite, decreased
00:25:01concentrating, loss of interest or
00:25:04enjoyment in activities that were previously pleasurable.
00:25:07There is a traditional cultural notion that men should be
00:25:11stoic and self-sufficient and that expressing their
00:25:14feelings is not a strength but a weakness.
00:25:18He states that this narrative must change, which is why
00:25:21he recommends starting a calm and pressure-free
00:25:25conversation with a loved one you are concerned about, starting
00:25:28with an observation like "it seems you're carrying a lot of weight on
00:25:32your shoulders" and creating a space for the person to
00:25:35respond.
00:25:36And now it's time for our most
