00:00:41Welcome to our front page broadcast with Alejandra
00:00:44Forero. Next, our
00:00:47headlines.
00:00:50to what they have indicated, it could Seitar workers protest the continuation of
00:00:53their director. Guides and tour operators

00:01:08Espriella reactivate cooperation. Lagoons and
00:01:12glaciers in Peru are

00:01:16At this hour and as every day, it is my pleasure to greet our viewers
00:01:20by extending a warm welcome to our front-page program
00:01:24with Alejandra Forero. It is with great pleasure that we greet you, hoping that
00:01:28you had an excellent Wednesday.
00:01:30We begin with local news and we start with the protest that
00:01:34was evident yesterday afternoon by Seitar workers
00:01:38in order to request the continuation of their director, Mr.
00:01:41Roland Cruz. Let's remember that this year, more or less in
00:01:45October, he would be entering retirement. However,
00:01:48they want that for stability, the director
00:01:52can continue for at least 2
00:01:56on the streets, especially years. Yesterday afternoon, Tuesday.
00:01:58Seitar workers decided to take action as a measure of
00:02:02protest, claiming that at that moment, they had not
00:02:06received a response from the government regarding their main
00:02:09petition: to guarantee the continuity of the state company's
00:02:13management. The concern arose because the current
00:02:16director, Mr. Roland Cruz, is about to
00:02:19retire in October. According to the
00:02:23information known, there was the possibility of
00:02:26granting him a contract for 2 more years while the process
00:02:30to appoint a new director was developed. At the
00:02:33moment the employees
00:02:37also apply a very good started the protest, Mr. Roland Cruz was meeting in
00:02:40Cocolishi with the ministers involved in the matter.
00:02:43Hours later, it was reported that both
00:02:46parties reached an agreement to extend his
00:02:50tenure through a contract with the aim of
00:02:53maintaining the administrative stability of Seitar.
00:02:56The workers explained that their mobilization was not
00:03:00directed against Mr. Cruz, but in favor of the
00:03:03institutional stability of the company. They pointed out that
00:03:06after the recent departure of another executive, they feared that a
00:03:10new transition would affect the operation of the entity.
00:03:14They also recalled that they sent letters to the government,
00:03:17participated in meetings with the Supervisory Board and were
00:03:20subsequently referred to the shareholder without obtaining a
00:03:24definitive solution at that time. Finally, the
00:03:27conflict was temporarily resolved and
00:03:31Seitar's operations were able to continue normally while a
00:03:34transparent and public process is awaited for the
00:03:38selection of the future management of the company.
00:03:41Changing the subject,
00:03:43yesterday there were also
00:03:46protests by tour operators for what concerns UTVs,
00:03:50ATVs, all-terrain vehicles, at different times of
00:03:54the day and in fact, until 8 p.m., they were protesting
00:03:57so that the government would help them and they could stop
00:04:01the case that has been filed in court by Aruba
00:04:05Bearlife Conservation.
00:04:07The protest by
00:04:10tourist guides and UTV and ATV operators
00:04:13extended until last night, Tuesday, in front of the
00:04:17Parliament of Aruba. The group demands a clear and
00:04:21written response from the government so that the judicial
00:04:24process initiated by Aruba Bearlife Conservation
00:04:27can be postponed and there is room to
00:04:31reach a solution. During the afternoon, the
00:04:34protesters delivered a
00:04:36individuals were arrested manifesto with their main petitions and gave the
00:04:39government 2 hours to receive a response.
00:04:42Among the requests was that the authorities dialogue
00:04:45directly with Mr. Greg Peterson, president of
00:04:49Aruba Bier Life Conservation, to seek
00:04:51an agreement that would allow postponing the case scheduled
00:04:55for tomorrow, Thursday. However, although the
00:04:58government formally requested the court to postpone
00:05:02the process, the final decision is now in the hands
00:05:05of the judge. According to what is known, Aruba Beer Life
00:05:09Conservation would not agree to postpone the case. While
00:05:12awaiting the judicial decision, the guides and
00:05:15operators remained for several hours in the vicinity of the
00:05:19parliament and later returned to the legislative
00:05:23headquarters. In addition to the manifesto, the group
00:05:26disseminated a public letter addressed to
00:05:29the sponsors of Aruba Bearlife Conservation, in
00:05:32which they request them to suspend financial support to the
00:05:36organization. For his part, Minister René Herden
00:05:39assured that the government is fulfilling its commitment to open
00:05:43more space for dialogue. The intention, he said, is to find
00:05:47a balance between the protection of nature and
00:05:50the continuity of an economic activity on which numerous
00:05:54workers depend. From Aruba to
00:05:56Colombia, the
00:05:59Beyond Sports Limits team was recently in Colombia
00:06:03fulfilling a dream that is also an inspiration for all
00:06:06of us. Not only did they participate in a marathon that recently
00:06:10took place in Medellín, but they
00:06:12also fulfilled the dream of reaching the top of the
00:06:16place in
00:06:18Guatapé.
00:06:20There are trips that are remembered for the places we visit and
00:06:26are capable of overcoming. This time, the athletes
00:06:30of Beyond Sports Limits Aruba took their
00:06:33spirit of overcoming to Colombia where they lived an
00:06:37unforgettable experience and showed once again that
00:06:40limits are often only in our minds.
00:06:44In Antioquia, the athletes faced the challenge of
00:06:47climbing 600 steps of El Peñol, a
00:06:50challenge that was not only about reaching the top,
00:06:53but about showing that every step counts, that every effort
00:06:57is worthwhile and that together they can go much further, just as every
00:07:01year they conquer the Hoyer here in Aruba, this time
00:07:04they reached the highest point of one of the most emblematic
00:07:08mountains in Colombia. But the real achievement
00:07:11was not only at the top, it was in every smile, in
00:07:15every extended hand, in every person who accompanied the journey
00:07:19and above all, in the certainty that a
00:07:22disability should never become a barrier to
00:07:25achieving a dream. Beyond Sports Limits
00:07:28was born with a clear mission: to create opportunities, promote
00:07:32inclusion and show the world that we all have a
00:07:36place at the starting line. With the support of their
00:07:39families, volunteers and sponsors, these
00:07:42athletes also took their first steps on the international
00:07:45stage, carrying a message that today crosses
00:07:48borders: inclusion is built with
00:07:51opportunities, because when you believe, when you accompany and when
00:07:55you advance together, there is no mountain too high, one
00:07:59step at a time, one experience at a time and a message that
00:08:03now goes beyond Aruba, Beyond Sports Limits
00:08:06for the world. We begin our international
00:08:09round in Colombia.
00:08:14Marco Rubio was received with military honors
00:08:18in Barranquilla for a special visit with
00:08:21President Abelardo de la Espriella. In these meetings,
00:08:25various bilateral agenda items were discussed, but
00:08:28it's very important how the United States will cooperate with
00:08:32Colombia. With a guard of honor and a handshake,
00:08:36the US Secretary of
00:08:39State, Marco Rubio, was received at the alternate headquarters of the
00:08:43presidency of Colombia, located in Barranquilla, for his first official
00:08:46meeting with President Abelardo de la Espriella. Cooperation is
00:08:49reactivated with a firm purpose to protect the hemisphere from
00:08:53criminal structures, to combat narco-terrorism, with a
00:08:56robust deployment in terms of security and commercial
00:09:00relations. Colombia will fully comply with its
00:09:03responsibilities. We will have the headquarters in Medellín
00:09:06and we will do everything necessary to attack
00:09:09organized crime and to give these criminals the place
00:09:13they deserve, which is a prison or a tomb.
00:09:17Here I say it without euphemisms: a bandit who does not submit will
00:09:20be taken down as legally corresponds. Colombia's petitions
00:09:24will be heard and executed to the fullest by the government of
00:09:28Donald Trump, in terms of technological updating to carry
00:09:32out military operations within the framework of Colombia's
00:09:35participation in the Shield of the Americas. The president spoke
00:09:38openly and publicly about different things, military purchases
00:09:42he wants to make, radar systems, intelligence
00:09:45systems, everything else that is necessary, and we are willing and
00:09:48open to cooperate in that space. President Trump
00:09:52is willing to provide everything possible to help Colombia to
00:09:56face this threat, which for three or four years was not really
00:09:59faced. The possibility was put on the table that the United States
00:10:03could even have a permanent presence in our country through a
00:10:07military operations base. of cooperation between both
00:10:11countries, the possibility is being studied, if it is not a military
00:10:14base, it is a joint base, even if it is a facility that both
00:10:17countries can use, obviously that corresponds to the Colombian government,
00:10:21which is a sovereign country that has the right to choose who
00:10:25enters its country and who does not. Marco
00:10:28Rubio also made it clear that security must be accompanied by a
00:10:32prosperous process for the economies of both countries and therefore
00:10:36they are evaluating at full speed the possibility of suspending the
00:10:39tariff measure that set an increase for certain export
00:10:42products at the beginning of 2026.
00:10:46We wish to deal with that, there are active negotiations
00:10:49underway right now and we hope that we will have a very positive result
00:10:53for the United States and for Colombia as well. The diplomatic agenda of
00:10:57the United States in Barranquilla closed by opening the door
00:11:01to a formal meeting between Presidents
00:11:09lagoons and also a glacier are currently under surveillance
00:11:12due to the potential overflows they could have and avalanches
00:11:16that could also threaten their community. However,
00:11:19some protests have been generated by their community and
00:11:22they are not allowing investigative teams to reach
00:11:26the site.
00:11:27Parón Lagoon
00:11:30is one of the most visited tourist destinations in the
00:11:33Ancash region. Its turquoise waters and the imposing
00:11:36landscape of the White Mountain Range attract hundreds
00:11:39of visitors.
00:11:41However, behind
00:11:44this tourist attraction, there is a threat that keeps
00:11:48specialists and authorities on alert. The
00:11:50risk of an eventual overflow.
00:11:53In June 2019,
00:11:55the government declared Parón Lagoon an emergency due to the
00:11:59danger of a possible spill. Two
00:12:02years later, Ineigem published a risk assessment
00:12:05for an avalanche in the city of Caraz, which warned about the
00:12:08danger posed by a possible avalanche coming from the
00:12:12Hatun Rahu glacier towards the lagoon. The impact
00:12:16of a mass of ice and rock could
00:12:19generate a violent displacement of water and
00:12:22cause the lagoon to overflow. In April
00:12:262023, the regional government of Ancash requested
00:12:29a joint analysis from the communal water authority, Senami.
00:12:33The study evaluated
00:12:34different
00:12:37scenarios and recommended maintaining
00:12:41permanent monitoring of the lagoon to reduce the
00:12:44risk of a disaster. But there is also a
00:12:48difficulty in carrying out this monitoring.
00:12:51Since May, the community has restricted
00:12:55the entry of specialists who seek to carry out
00:12:59measurements
00:13:01directly.
00:13:05The conditions and the danger are not new in this
00:13:09part of the White Mountain Range. In April 2025, an
00:13:13avalanche swept through the Casca river basin in the district
00:13:17of Independencia in Huaraz. Very
00:13:19high.
00:13:33Now, in the same sector of the Vallanurraju Nevado massif, new cracks
00:13:36have appeared. And
00:13:39we go to Paraguay where in the last hours the authorities
00:13:43managed to seize a large quantity of
00:13:46fake medicines supposedly for weight loss,
00:13:49which had the label and were ready to enter the
00:13:53market, fortunately.
00:13:58During the raids, products corresponding to the complaining
00:14:01laboratory were found, in addition to boxes, logos and
00:14:04elements that appeared to reproduce security characteristics
00:14:08of the original products. Finished products were also
00:14:11seized that, according to the initial verification, would not meet the
00:14:15necessary characteristics to be considered original.
00:14:18They reported that in some places this type of product
00:14:21was being sold or produced.
00:14:25In conjunction with two colleagues from Asunción, Dr. Mirian Rodríguez
00:14:28and Dr. Irán Suárez,
00:14:31we carried out several investigations here in the central
00:14:34area of the city and
00:14:38we found in general products that belong to the
00:14:40ethical laboratory that contain the active
00:14:44ingredient tirsepatide and that are apparently
00:14:47counterfeit products. The logos and the security features
00:14:51of the original products do not match what was
00:14:54found. And
00:14:57we go to Ecuador where this morning two
00:15:01by the authorities after judicial entries. They
00:15:05would also be part of a rather fearsome gang
00:15:09that was behind some attacks that occurred last year
00:15:12in Ecuador.
00:15:16There were three simultaneous raids in the Prosperina
00:15:20sector of Guayaquil.
00:15:20Steven Andrés M and Jefferson
00:15:25Alexis T were arrested this morning for the car
00:15:28bomb attack that occurred in October 2025 in front of the
00:15:32Mall del Sol, north of the city, which left one
00:15:36dead, at least 26 injured and serious material
00:15:40damage. The act was classified as terrorist.
00:15:43These are the two people who carried out this terrorist
00:15:46attack, who drove the vehicle and left it outside the
00:15:50building in front of the Mall del Sol where one of those cars exploded.
00:15:53This was a terrorist attack that tried to make the government
00:15:57reverse the transfer of criminals to the meeting prison,
00:16:00which they did not achieve their objective. According to Reinberg,
00:16:04it took 10 months of investigation to locate
00:16:08these two people who are part of the criminal
00:16:11group Los Lobos. They are Ecuadorians, have a history of
00:16:15possession, unauthorized import of weapons, robbery as
00:16:18suspects, illicit trafficking of controlled substances, all
00:16:21from 2022 to 2025, and another person
00:16:25has open cases for illicit association in
00:16:292023, six complaints of fraud in the provinces of Morazo,
00:16:32Loja, Santa Elena, Pichincha, Manabí in 2025.
00:16:36And he revealed the logistics they used. The planning
00:16:39and assembly of the car bombs would have been carried
00:16:43out in the San Francisco cooperative in Pascuales, and the
00:16:46escape route was identified in Lomas de la
00:16:50Florida. However, they have not been the only ones
00:16:53linked to this case. In May of this
00:16:57year, the armed forces carried out an operation in the
00:17:01San Francisco cooperative, in front of the Litoral penitentiary,
00:17:04in the sector from where the vehicle that exploded that
00:17:07night of the attack came out.
00:17:10Barranquilla in Colombia is currently experiencing an intense
00:17:13heatwave and the authorities are also alerting the community
00:17:17to take precautions specifically for the arrival of
00:17:20El Niño.
00:17:22In Barranquilla, the heat
00:17:26gives no respite. High temperatures and humidity
00:17:30are making it a challenge to stay
00:17:33for those who work for several hours under
00:17:36the strong sun. The weather here in Barranquilla
00:17:40is very strong and it's getting worse. Well,
00:17:43if you realize, it's barely noon and we are already at a high
00:17:47level, definitely here we have to find shade because the sun is quite
00:17:50strong. It is that during the last days the thermal sensation
00:17:53reached 40 degrees. Given these
00:17:56conditions, the recommendations are clear: stay
00:18:00hydrated, avoid direct exposure to the sun during the hours of greatest
00:18:03intensity, be attentive to any symptom that may indicate
00:18:07heat-related effects. There are three primary ones: one, excellent
00:18:11hydration in the morning,
00:18:14sunscreen with a very good SPF 40, and also
00:18:18we should not do sports. For those people who
00:18:22go to the Malecón on the road to the sea, do not do sports between
00:18:259 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon.
00:18:28High temperatures will continue for the next few days,
00:18:32so authorities insist on taking precautions and not exposing
00:18:35oneself for prolonged periods to these
00:18:48Awareness Month.

00:21:24We continue with more information on Primera Plana. This
00:21:28month of September is an important month for prostate
00:21:31cancer awareness, a cancer that continues to affect more
00:21:35men, and not only at an advanced age, but also, according
00:21:40start at a much earlier age. That's why it's important to
00:21:44be cautious. Today, on Primera Plana, we talk about your health, so
00:21:47take care of it. First, the good news:
00:21:58the American Cancer Society says that the increase
00:22:01in prostate cancer cases is probably due to more men getting
00:22:04screened for the disease. But now for the bad news:
00:22:08many are not getting screened early enough.
00:22:11The increase in cases largely consists of those
00:22:15with advanced cancer. This year alone, it is
00:22:17estimated that almost 334,000 new
00:22:20cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States
00:22:24and more than 36,000 men are projected to die from the
00:22:28disease. But regular screenings can save
00:22:32lives by detecting the disease early, when it is easier
00:22:35to treat. Understanding the risk of prostate cancer is
00:22:38really important. Those at highest risk include
00:22:41everyone over 50 years old, people with
00:22:45a family history of prostate cancer, especially if
00:22:48several close relatives were diagnosed at an early
00:22:51age, and Black men, who are almost
00:22:5570% more likely to be diagnosed with the disease
00:22:58compared to white men. And when it develops in this
00:23:02group, it generally occurs at an earlier age. They also
00:23:05have twice the likelihood of dying from this cancer.
00:23:08The American Cancer Society recommends that men at high
00:23:11risk between 40 and 45 years old talk to a doctor
00:23:15about whether screening is appropriate for them and that
00:23:19people at average risk start the conversation at
00:23:2250 years old.
00:23:26In our most viral section, we present this young
00:23:30man who should be made viral, as he has become a true
00:23:33feat in India, because at 20 years old, he has
00:23:35taken it upon himself to clean
00:23:41various rivers. In the Indian state of
00:23:45Pradesh, a 20-year-old man turned cleaning waterways
00:23:49and water infrastructure into a systematic routine,
00:23:52a continuous sanitation
00:23:54effort in various streams
00:23:56and basins that has gained international dimension after the
00:24:00massive viralization of his videos.
00:24:03The work is carried out by Surendra
00:24:07Singh, a student who dedicates his weekends to
00:24:10cleaning water bodies contaminated by the historical accumulation
00:24:14of urban waste. Known in the digital realm as Bitu
00:24:17Tabaji and based in the town of Viaora,
00:24:21he did not limit his initiative to a single episode
00:24:24or a single place. Since the beginning of his activities
00:24:27at the beginning of the year, the activist periodically
00:24:31visits different sections of the Agnar River and other
00:24:34regional tributaries, paying for the protection
00:24:38and collection materials with his own income. He does not
00:24:41act as part of any official campaign or environmental
00:24:45organization; the decision was strictly
00:24:48personal. His work also began to
00:24:51gain notoriety when he decided to also
00:24:55not only start progressively addressing
00:24:58the degradation of local basins.
00:25:01And in Argentina, a teacher made a tremendous complaint to
00:25:04his students who were ready to battle for aura,
00:25:07however, he cancelled absolutely
00:25:10everything. Aura farming was one of the
00:25:13most talked about topics in recent
00:25:15weeks. Some supported the trend, others
00:25:19seemed to find it senseless. A teacher joined
00:25:22this latter group, reprimanding his students not to do it
00:25:26anymore, and the video went viral as expected.
00:25:29The strong scolding also took place in the middle of
00:25:33the courtyard full of students through a megaphone, being
00:25:36captured in a video that garnered many views on social
00:25:40media. The teacher was scathing, also while
00:25:43reprimanding a group of teenagers who had tried to
00:25:46farm aura inside the institute and left a
00:25:50phrase that caught attention: "Today I am ashamed."
00:25:53In the images, the visibly angry teacher
00:25:56is heard addressing them.

00:26:19the students and question the conduct he had adopted during the
00:26:22activity, rarely do you see me so angry, don't
00:26:26even think of doing it again, in this school there's no
00:26:30student body that would expose itself supposedly to...
00:26:33What is that? The professor also stated that what happened did not
00:26:36represent the values of the
00:26:38school.

00:27:09Do you remember what is the Windows 10
00:27:13wallpaper that is very recognized? Well, a couple
00:27:16decided to visit and travel to New Zealand to
00:27:20find it.
00:27:22The iconic Windows 10 wallpaper that showed a
00:27:26gigantic rocky cave with a sea view and sand is not
00:27:29a digital montage but a corner
00:27:33located in New Zealand, known as
00:27:37Guarakiri, there, the emblematic place on the South

00:27:50around the world. The interest in this destination resurfaced strongly
00:27:54after the viralization of a video published by content
00:27:58creators. The couple captured the amazing
00:28:01contrast between the classic image of computers
00:28:05and the live landscape there in New
00:28:07Zealand.

00:28:20rescued but in the end they were using it to charge through a
00:28:24QR code in a place, however
00:28:27the images have gone
00:28:29viral.
00:28:31After a long period in a situation of homelessness and abandonment, Tony, a
00:28:35mixed-breed cat, found a definitive home when the owner of a
00:28:39local restaurant decided to adopt him. Today he not only
00:28:42enjoys a safe and affectionate environment, but he has earned the
00:28:46title of the most popular collaborator of the establishment. His
00:28:50daily work consists of wearing a sign with a QR code around his neck,
00:28:53which allows diners to scan and
00:28:57pay for their consumption quickly. With
00:29:00remarkable serenity, the happy
00:29:02one wanders through the tables interacting with customers who take the opportunity to
00:29:06pet him while making their
