00:00:00our mind and body in a consultation with Dr. Huerta,
00:00:04a CNN podcast. I am
00:00:07Mexican-British, I have been practicing
00:00:10journalism for 20 years, in Mexico City, in the United
00:00:16return because what States and now in Miami for may include: withdrawing from CNN. CNN
00:00:17one left behind changed and what América is a multi-platform program where you will have
00:00:21information from all fields that will allow you
00:00:25to understand the world from the angle you are seeing it from.
00:00:29In those three hours, you will not only have information from a
00:00:32political
00:00:34central office of the municipality, and economic perspective, but also
00:00:37health from a women's perspective, but above all it is a space
00:00:40where we can have conversations not to polarize, but to integrate
00:00:44society, what excites me most is
00:00:47to inform, inquire,
00:00:51investigate the why of things, go to the bottom of the
00:01:25old from being run over on
00:01:41headlines.
00:01:43Judge gives government five weeks to find a solution
00:01:47to the issue of UTVs and Aruba Bear Life
00:01:50Conservation. Salary app facilitates minimum wage calculation
00:01:53in Aruba. Transporters shield their
00:01:57units after attacks on transport. Peru, a
00:02:01father risks his life and saves a girl from being run over,
00:02:05bought a ghost town for a bet and is now the only
00:02:25thermal plants that run on gas, news and it finally seems
00:02:28that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, yesterday, the
00:02:31government sat at the table with the representatives of the
00:02:35UTVs or ATVs and the tour operators to be able
00:02:39to try to conciliate what the court also indicated,
00:02:43where it gives the government 5
00:02:46weeks so that they can sit down and have a balance
00:02:50between what Aruba Bearlife
00:02:53conservation and these tour operators have been. We know
00:02:56that the impasse has taken place all this week.
00:03:01The Court of First Instance of Aruba decided to postpone the case
00:03:05on access and protection of the
00:03:07paid three times more than what north coast for 5 weeks, a dispute that
00:03:10confronts environmental conservation with the activity of
00:03:13UTV and ATV vehicle tour
00:03:16operators, which are all-terrain vehicles. In its decision,
00:03:20the judge established a clear condition: the government of
00:03:23Aruba must sit down to dialogue with the organization
00:03:27Aruba Bearlife Conservation known as ABC to
00:03:30seek a solution that also takes into account the interests of the
00:03:34tourism sector and the community. The judicial
00:03:37process will continue next October. According to the
00:03:41Court, in this case there are legitimate interests
00:03:44that must be balanced. On the one hand, Aruba Bear Life
00:03:47Conservation defends the protection of flora and fauna in
00:03:50protected natural areas, but on the other
00:03:53hand, tour operators also seek
00:03:57to maintain an economic activity that for years
00:04:00has been allowed and is their daily bread. The judge
00:04:04also warned that the government must immediately set the date of
00:04:08the meetings and demonstrate that it participates in good faith in
00:04:11this dialogue, otherwise, the case will advance more
00:04:15quickly and without new extensions. Meanwhile,
00:04:18the government and several of the main tour operators
00:04:21signed a protocol to continue negotiations,
00:04:24the document proposes discussing measures such
00:04:28as fixed routes for regulated access for small groups,
00:04:32zoning, environmental controls, noise reduction
00:04:36and even a possible fee system for entering natural
00:04:40areas, although this protocol does not modify the
00:04:43judicial process, it does open a 5-week window
00:04:47to try to reach an agreement that allows the natural
00:04:50heritage of Aruba to be protected without risking a key
00:04:54activity for the economy and tourism of the
00:04:58overcome what island. Now workers and
00:05:01employers have the salary app where
00:05:05they can verify that the minimum wage payment is being made
00:05:08as it should be, and the best part is that it comes in four different
00:05:12languages: Spanish, Papiamento, English and
00:05:15Dutch. The Ministry of Labor and the
00:05:19Department of Labor Affairs and Research Dao
00:05:22expanded the Sueldo application, a
00:05:24tool created to facilitate the calculation and
00:05:27verification of the hourly minimum wage in Aruba. The
00:05:30application is now available in four languages: Dutch,
00:05:34Papiamento, English and Spanish, with the aim that
00:05:37both workers and employers can access
00:05:40clear and reliable information about their labor
00:05:44rights and obligations. The salary app was developed
00:05:47especially to accompany the transition to the new
00:05:50hourly minimum wage system that came into force on January 1st of this
00:05:54year with a rate of 11 florins and 58
00:05:58cents per hour. The tool allows quick
00:06:01and easy calculation of the salary and
00:06:04verification of whether the remuneration corresponds to what is established by
00:06:08law. The government also anticipates that the application
00:06:11will continue to evolve to become a tool
00:06:15that allows workers to verify the salary
00:06:18they receive more practically. For
00:06:21calculations, the weekly salary is obtained by multiplying the hours
00:06:24worked by 11 florins and 58 cents
00:06:28per week. The application and informative materials
00:06:32are available through Dao Aruba, also in
00:06:35different languages.
00:06:38Changing the subject, Marian Donata became the
00:06:41employee of the month for August at the hospital, where she was pleasantly
00:06:45surprised by the board of directors and also
00:06:49by her colleagues in a very
00:06:51pleasant moment.
00:06:54My name is Merianda Nata and Hospital
00:06:56Sempre.
00:07:02I have been working at the hospital for more than 16 years,
00:07:05but I started as an intern, a holiday helper, then
00:07:08my contract became permanent, I went through different departments.
00:09:45We begin our international round in Peru where
00:09:48after the attacks that transporters have
00:09:52suffered in recent days, they had to literally
00:09:55shield their buses to avoid these
00:09:58attacks.
00:10:01The driver's cabin converted into a shield, against the attacks of
00:10:05extortionists, public transport companies begin to
00:10:08reinforce the place where drivers spend hours exposed to
00:10:11bullets. Extortionists, look at this unit, the driver is already protected
00:10:15by an armored cabin that allows him to
00:10:18carry out his operations regularly, this is only one of
00:10:22the 250 vehicles that will form... part of the first
00:10:26phase of works the armored cabin
00:10:29which is a cabin that will be improved because this is still the
00:10:32demo, inside the cabin we have an
00:10:35artificial intelligence camera that is inside and
00:10:39also a camera that is for the internal part that is
00:10:42there this camera that will focus everything in the internal part of the
00:10:45bus, eh it has 87
00:10:48artificial intelligence algorithms that will allow, for example, to detect people with
00:10:52weapons, knives, masked people.
00:10:55It will also send an alert directly to the
00:10:59to the police, to the central office that we also have in our maneuvering
00:11:02yards, the protection is not only inside, we have
00:11:06also even some plates here, yes, these are
00:11:09armored steel plates that will
00:11:12protect the entire lower part of the driver, this plate
00:11:16surrounds the entire part of the bus, the entire driver is protected, there is
00:11:19no way that the criminal can shoot and the
00:11:23bullet reaches the driver in this. with this armored
00:11:26cabin, the initiative begins with the
00:11:28companies through the routes, the companies
00:11:32assume the cost of their implements, while mape
00:11:35provides guidance for their installation, assembly and interconnection
00:11:38with its monitoring center. At this moment we have signed
00:11:42agreements with five companies that represent 250 buses and that we will
00:11:46progressively implement, but the
00:11:49benefit of the works that we have been implementing such as the Chuquitanda
00:11:52corridor have benefited
00:11:56companies, which represents an approximate total of 500
00:12:00buses, and we go to Colombia because the
00:12:03Minister of Mines and Energy gave an ultimatum and
00:12:07specified that if the El Niño phenomenon continues to arrive as it is
00:12:11currently doing, then there will be power cuts, but also an
00:12:14increase for the electricity service,
00:12:18which will also affect users.
00:12:21The Minister of Mines and Energy,
00:12:25Maria Noemí Arboleda, was direct during a political
00:12:28control debate in Congress, she said that the electricity
00:12:32tariff will have to rise if drought conditions
00:12:35increase due to the El Niño phenomenon and explained the
00:12:39relationship by saying that as water becomes scarce,
00:12:42there will be more difficulties for the generation of
00:12:45hydroelectric plants, forcing an increase in the use of
00:12:50which makes energy generation more expensive. Let's not
00:12:54lie to ourselves. The tariff has to go up, why does the tariff have
00:12:58to go up? Because the resources are no longer hydraulic ones that will meet all the
00:13:01demand, that is, the one who will margin will be someone who has
00:13:04gas, a gas that costs them a lot and that is also growing due to the problems
00:13:08at an international level, the possibility of an increase in the
00:13:12tariff appears amidst a growing risk of a blackout in the
00:13:15country, at this moment we have to turn on the
00:13:18thermal plants, those that run on gas at full
00:13:21capacity to compensate for what is coming in the next few months.
00:13:25And that means having that gas available and that
00:13:28gas, I insist, is being
00:13:32we traditionally pay for it in Colombia, but it was not the only
00:13:35warning from the minister, in the economic commissions she warned that the
00:13:39budget requested for 2027 does not have
00:13:43enough resources to cover electricity subsidies, which
00:13:46aggravates the outlook in the sector, to try to save
00:13:49energy, the government has already issued punitive measures for those who consume more
00:13:53than 10% of their monthly average and benefits for those
00:13:57who do the opposite, that is, save more than 10% of
00:14:01their average consumption.
00:14:04Hundreds of engineers traveled from Mexico to the United
00:14:07States after a promise that a supposed company had
00:14:11given them to work for super important
00:14:14companies. When they arrived in the United States they had to
00:14:17work in construction, that is, as construction workers.
00:14:21This is their story.
00:14:24Eh. it was obviously much more than what I earned in
00:14:28Mexico as an engineer. Isidro Arellano says he was in
00:14:32his last year of engineering school when he saw an
00:14:35advertisement at his university in Mexico. He says the advertisement was
00:14:39for engineering positions in car factories in the United
00:14:42States. The ideal candidates, young
00:14:45engineers or technicians from Mexico willing to work north
00:14:49of the border. It sounded like an excellent
00:14:52opportunity. Yes, because it gave me the opportunity to come
00:14:56to another country where I knew nothing about the culture, besides
00:14:59the activities they mentioned
00:15:03sounded appropriate and
00:15:05in line with what I had studied. Full of dreams,
00:15:09Arellano says he traveled to the United States in 2021 for what
00:15:12he describes as a quality engineering job, whose
00:15:16functions included taking precise measurements
00:15:19for auto parts. When you were in the hiring
00:15:23process, did you ever stop to think that
00:15:26probably all this sounded too good to be true?
00:15:30Yes, there were one or two times when it crossed my mind. A class action
00:15:34lawsuit filed in 2022 in a federal
00:15:37court in Atlanta alleges that Arellano and 600 other
00:15:41Mexican workers were induced to move to
00:15:44the United States with false promises of a skilled
00:15:47job, but were relegated to performing assembly line
00:15:51work, subjected to six 12-hour
00:15:54workdays per week with mandatory
00:15:57overtime, while US-born workers were not
00:16:01and were paid half of what US-born workers
00:16:05earned for the same job in the same
00:16:08place, they say that when they arrived in
00:16:12Georgia, the situation was totally
00:16:15different, that they had to do manual
00:16:19labor, heavy labor, and
00:16:22that they were not
00:16:24paid correctly.
00:16:28And look at these shocking images in a matter of
00:16:32seconds, a man risks his life to save the life
00:16:36of a minor who, due to her parents' carelessness, was about to cross the
00:16:40street. He is truly known as a hero without a cape.
00:16:53He didn't think twice and acted. Luis Enrique Cruz is the unsung
00:16:57hero who saved a girl approximately 3 years
00:17:0211 South in the city of Puebla on Sunday, September
00:17:066. The video of the heroic act went around the
00:17:09world. When he saw that the minor was in danger,
00:17:13Luis ran to help her, also risking his
00:17:16life. I felt desperation
00:17:19to save her, no
00:17:22eh, so that nothing would happen to her, and
00:17:26afterwards the
00:17:29satisfaction after what happened, that nothing
00:17:33major happened and that today the girl is safe and sound
00:17:36with her
00:17:39She was in the right place at the right time, the events
00:17:42occurred around 2 in the afternoon when the store for which
00:17:46he works as a manager was about to close, Luis was
00:17:50arranging the merchandise to take it into the
00:17:53establishment, when he saw that the little girl was running towards
00:17:5611 South, one of the busiest avenues
00:18:00in Puebla, then I notice that a
00:18:04girl comes running out, I don't see that she was going to turn back. and I
00:18:07continue with my own business, but she runs into the
00:18:11street, so at that moment
00:18:15I didn't think, I reacted instinctively as a
00:18:19father to stop her, I have a son
00:18:22more or less that age, so at that moment the only thing
00:18:26I did was to try to save the girl, a couple passed by, a couple was
00:18:30there and they passed by, they didn't really notice, they were in their own world and
00:18:34he did notice the girl, she even hurt her foot because it looks like she falls, so
00:18:37he didn't think, he threw himself and literally caught her, he stopped the
00:18:41camera because you can even hear him there saying "help the
00:18:45girl", at the moment of helping, his children came to
00:18:49his mind, because this man of 34 years
00:18:52old is the father of four minors and one of them is the
00:18:56age of the little girl he saved.
00:18:59Migration can be a topic that not only affects people
00:19:03in terms of their documents, but according to experts, this could also
00:19:07affect their mental health, talking about how they are not
00:19:11only far from their family, but also perhaps going through
00:19:15situations that are affecting them both emotionally
00:19:18and morally.
00:19:19In the last 4 years, more than
00:19:2351,000 people have returned to El Salvador, according to
00:19:26statistics confirmed by the International Organization for
00:19:30Migration, which poses significant social, economic
00:19:34and community challenges. However, migrating does not
00:19:37only mean changing countries, for thousands of people, the process
00:19:41implies leaving everything behind, a life built over decades
00:19:45with much fear, with much persecution,
00:19:48this fear of
00:19:52having to separate from their family, affects
00:19:56not only the moment they do it if it
00:19:59happens, but the anticipatory fear
00:20:03is terrible, it is a hypervigilance that
00:20:07affects the nervous system. Talking about mental health among the migrant
00:20:10population also means fighting stigma, many
00:20:14people may avoid asking for help for fear of being
00:20:17judged, this double displacement
00:20:20causes a profound impact mainly
00:20:24on social inclusion processes, on
00:20:28productive inclusion processes,
00:20:32because they do not
00:20:35is called migratory grief
00:20:39that they are currently experiencing. Specialists and
00:20:43organizations working with migrants highlight that many people
00:20:46do not end up feeling well due to not
00:20:50having a concrete place to feel at home,
00:20:54the longer they are away, the more difficult the return
00:20:57will be, it will be like another migration,
00:21:00one never, never, once one leaves, one cannot
00:21:07one also changed, it is
00:21:10totally another cultural
00:21:13reintegration, of identity with
00:21:16family, with friends,
00:21:19let's go to our commercial break, but we'll be back with more
00:21:22information. 17 veterans die every
00:21:26day by suicide in the United States.
00:22:20built by people, neighbors helping neighbors, standing
00:22:23side by side with those who trust us, to protect what
00:22:27matters most and help build our
00:22:29communities, being there when needed
00:22:33most, across borders, across
00:22:37generations,
00:22:39still growing, still giving,
00:22:43still just getting started after
00:22:46185 years.
00:24:53as anti-suicide month, yellow month, where in
00:24:57countries like for example in the United States, more awareness is
00:25:00generated about the suicide rate that unfortunately continues
00:25:04to affect, especially military personnel, which is
00:25:07why it is said that 17 retired
00:25:11armed forces personnel unfortunately take
00:25:14their own lives due to the situation they go through. Today on
00:25:18the front page we talk about your health. So take
00:25:20care of it.
00:25:29When she was a young soldier, Shante Franco says she felt
00:25:33life was not worth living. At that time she did not know that
00:25:36she suffered from post-traumatic
00:25:38stress disorder.
00:25:41Nor did she try to seek support because she felt that if she did,
00:25:44she would be a burden to others. Franco says she
00:25:48survived two suicide
00:25:50attempts and even then could not imagine a future,
00:25:54it was not until a neighbor noticed that something was not right, that
00:25:58she finally found the will to free herself from that burden
00:26:01she had carried for years.
00:26:05You can't address a problem without talking about the problem in its
00:26:08entirety. Warning signs that someone might be
00:26:12considering suicide
00:26:15family, friends or activities,
00:26:19giving away valuable possessions, engaging
00:26:22in reckless behavior, increasing alcohol or
00:26:25other substance use, neglecting personal
00:26:28care, significant changes in behavior,
00:26:31or talking about feeling trapped, as if they were
00:26:35a burden or had no purpose. I still have
00:26:38those unwanted thoughts, but Franco says that
00:26:41the Wounded Warrior project helped her recognize that at these
00:26:45times she needs to connect with another person and hopes that
00:26:49other veterans who are struggling will do the
00:26:53same.
00:26:59And here comes our most viral section and we show you this
00:27:02young woman who decided to have a coffee at the Louis
00:27:06Vuitton boutique in Italy, this is what she
00:27:09paid. The incursion of haute
00:27:12couture brands into the gastronomic sector continues
00:27:15to expand in the main fashion capitals. On this
00:27:18occasion, Louis Vuitton landed in the Italian market
00:27:22with a concept that combines fine pastry with the
00:27:25aesthetic identity of the brand. The establishment
00:27:28remains open to provide breakfast, lunch
00:27:32and snack services. In a recent video recording,
00:27:36a customer showed the details of the products, for example, sweet
00:27:40pastry options, traditional tiramisu, vanilla and strawberry
00:27:43charlotte cake and a tasting of assorted
00:27:47snacks.
00:27:49Imagine this story, a young man decided to buy a ghost
00:27:53town on a whim and there he is the only
00:27:57inhabitant, this is his story.
00:28:00Bran Underwood arrived in Cerro Gordo in March
00:28:042020 with the intention of staying for a few weeks,
00:28:076 years later he is still the only permanent
00:28:11inhabitant of this ghost
00:28:14mountains of California, it also has no
00:28:17water nor does it have cell phone signal. It all
00:28:20started in 2018 when a friend sent him in the early hours of the morning
00:28:24an advertisement for the sale of an old town from the 18th
00:28:28century, what started as a challenge among
00:28:31friends ended with the purchase of 1.4 million
00:28:35dollars and he was 30 years old, he committed his savings
00:28:38and added capital from investors with the intention of converting the place
00:28:42into a tourist destination, well, nothing went according to plan, but the
00:28:45entrepreneur does not regret it either, when covid
00:28:49paralyzed the world, the employer also moved
00:28:52to Cerro Gordo to advance with the restoration during the
00:28:56quarantine, the property caretaker left to reunite with his
00:28:59family and the owner was left in charge of
00:29:03the 22 historical structures of the place, what was going to last a few
00:29:06weeks turned into 6 years of isolated
00:29:09life, the conditions are extreme, in
00:29:12winter the snow can leave him isolated for
00:29:16days, the pipes freeze, the internet access is interrupted and
00:29:20the food supply becomes complicated, life
00:29:23is also more comfortable, he says, with a good
00:29:26apartment, a great group of friends and a family that supported me and
00:29:30I left absolutely everything
00:29:32to go to the middle of nowhere to try to
00:29:35solve it.
