00:00:12the impact on sources and the price of
00:00:22A strong earthquake in Colombia measuring 7.4 magnitude caused
00:00:23a liberal and pacifist
00:00:26at least 111 deaths, a death toll that is still very provisional. Given the
00:00:30images arriving from the area and the dozens of
00:00:33missing people, it is very likely that it will end up increasing. The president of Espriella,
00:00:37who took office three days ago, has declared a state
00:00:42and the rest of the systemic of emergency. Good evening, the earthquake occurred early
00:00:45in the morning in the department of Chocó,
00:00:48Easy, but it has to be the priority with west of Bogotá. It affected cities like Pereira and Manizales, in the middle of
00:00:52the so-called coffee axis, a very visited area by
00:00:55tourists. There is no record of any Catalans
00:00:58affected.
00:01:00We are trying to speak with all the colleagues who live in
00:01:04Pereira, Manizales, in Cali, eh, luckily
00:01:06they were sending messages that they were fine, that they were
00:01:10okay, but, eh, but the area is very
00:01:13destroyed.
00:01:18will attend, but it does not refrain from Italy and Denmark request migrant
00:01:20three days after Abelardo de repatriation centers outside the European Union. Morocco requests
00:01:22that unaccompanied minors be returned to their families, a
00:01:25measure that the Spanish government is also working on.
00:01:31The plan to promote renewable energy in Catalonia receives more
00:01:35than 12,000 allegations, and there are more than 300
00:01:38municipalities that want it to be completely reviewed. The Generalitat says
00:01:42our eyes, but in the case of it will accept allegations that are technically
00:02:40hours during
00:03:03information it receives from the
00:03:08It has been a very long few minutes, three or four, according to some witnesses.
00:03:12During this time, the earth shook in western Colombia and left
00:03:16this trail we saw, dozens of collapsed buildings and
00:03:19many seriously affected, like this one, Manizales Cathedral.
00:03:22It is one of the most affected cities by this earthquake that occurred
00:03:26from the epicenter, due to this overlapping of early in the morning at half past seven. The epicenter.
00:03:30located in San José del Palmar, this is a small town
00:03:33located 250 km west of
00:03:37Bogotá. This is the epicenter, a small municipality of about
00:03:405,000 inhabitants, but the earthquake which reached a magnitude of
00:03:447.4, was felt in a much wider area
00:03:47and affected important cities like Pereira or even
00:03:51Cali, located much further south everywhere scenes of
00:03:55destruction everywhere now scenes with the
00:03:58rescue teams working against the clock to search for survivors in the rubble. For
00:04:02And these two intervened, that is now, the provisional toll is at least 111 people
00:04:06dead. Dozens of buildings could not
00:04:09withstand the force and duration of the earthquake in
00:04:12Colombia.
00:04:16that they are pending This one in Pereira collapsed after more than three minutes of shaking,
00:04:18at half past seven in the morning. The most affected area was the center of the
00:04:22country, Aleix Cafeter, where some churches were also
00:04:26tourists who are not obliged to severely damaged, such as that of San Josep de la Ciutat, which lost one...
00:04:30of the main towers scenes of chaos and
00:04:32confusion in the streets of those who managed to get out of the
00:04:35buildings among a population accustomed to tremors, but not
00:04:39of this magnitude. moments of panic also at Matecanya
00:04:42International Airport in
00:04:45forecast of the production of Pereira, where a part of the roof collapsed. most of the
00:04:47fatalities are from here,
00:04:50workers from Uzbekistan from Quipdor de Manizales, the same region, where the mayor asked
00:04:53residents to stay outside awaiting aftershocks that arrived later.
00:04:57In
00:05:04Cali, one of Colombia's main cities, dust clouds
00:05:08showed the number of structures that also
00:05:11did not resist. At least 20 structures
00:05:14collapsed in Cali with people trapped.
00:05:18I have requested support from the mayor of Bogotá and the mayor of
00:05:21Medellín for rescuers. The epicenter of the 7.4
00:05:24magnitude earthquake was in the town of San José de Palmar
00:05:28in the sparsely populated province of Chocó.
00:05:32In the Pacific. The origin was at more than 80
00:05:35km deep, in an area of contact between tectonic
00:05:38faults. It is considered the most powerful earthquake of the...
00:05:44We report the occurrence today at 7:34 AM
00:05:48of an earthquake of magnitude 7.4 with a depth of
00:05:5188 km. It is the strongest earthquake felt
00:05:55in the last decade in the country. Rescue efforts began
00:05:58immediately, also by people searching for survivors under the
00:06:02rubble. The earthquake was felt in much of central and western
00:06:06Colombia, although in many cities there was no damage, such as the
00:06:09capital Bogotá. Ecuador, Panama, and
00:06:13Venezuela also felt it, where a month and a half ago, a double earthquake of
00:06:16only one tenth greater magnitude than today's in Colombia
00:06:20left more than 6,000 dead.
00:06:24The immediate reaction of the Colombian government to this earthquake has been to declare a national
00:06:27emergency to deal with the catastrophe. And this happens just
00:06:32l'Espriella took office as president. Joan
00:06:36Biosca.
00:06:39Right now, the main problem that rescue teams face is reaching
00:06:42the affected area, as the seven main airports in
00:06:46central Colombia, known as the Cauca Valley and the Coffee Axis, are affected
00:06:49with structural damage, not receiving flights. Cities
00:06:53affected by the earthquake of 7.4 magnitude
00:06:56include Cali, Pereira, and Manizales. The mayor of Pereira, for example,
00:07:00has decreed a curfew to clear streets and avenues to facilitate the arrival
00:07:04of military emergency and rescue teams.
00:07:08The earthquake caught the President of Colombia, Ricardo de l'Espriella, on
00:07:11what was to be his first working day of government management.
00:07:15He assumed office as head of state of the South American country last
00:07:19Friday, and the first thing he has done is declare a state of national emergency to
00:07:22try to mobilize the maximum amount of
00:07:26available resources to assist the
00:07:29affected.
00:07:30Colombia
00:07:36has a president who cares about people and who will do everything in his
00:07:39power to help them. Earthquake
00:07:51and the Spanish citizens in the country, both those who
00:07:54live there and those who are taking advantage of the summer holidays to do tourism,
00:07:58we go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with Josep Capella,
00:08:01Josep.
00:08:05Yes, as is usual in situations like this, the Ministry of Foreign
00:08:08Affairs enables and activates the consular
00:08:11emergency division that coordinates all the
00:08:16embassy and also from the consulate, in this case from the
00:08:19honorary consulates because in the affected departments there is no
00:08:23Spanish professional diplomatic representation. There
00:08:26are contact telephone numbers for Spanish citizens who are
00:08:30in the area who can contact the consulate
00:08:33in Bogotá, also an email address. With this
00:08:37device, the aim is to locate Spanish citizens who
00:08:40may be there, either living there or... doing
00:08:43tourism, but for now, from here, from the ministry,
00:08:47there is no record that there are, no information that there are Spanish
00:08:51citizens affected. In Colombia
00:08:54there are about 80,000 Spaniards, also about
00:08:578,000 Catalans. The president of the Spanish executive
00:09:00Pedro Sánchez on social networks has sent
00:09:03a message expressing his affection and solidarity
00:09:07with the Colombian people in these difficult times and
00:09:11conveying his condolences to the victims. Also from Catalonia,
00:09:14the situation is being followed closely. The Department of Foreign
00:09:18Action and the president of the Generalitat have also shown
00:09:21on social networks this solidarity
00:09:24with the Colombian people, also
00:09:28the situation of Catalans living
00:09:31there. Here we are talking about figures of people who
00:09:35live there, but there are also many
00:09:39register in the visitors' register, the...
00:09:42travel register, and therefore there is no official record, although the
00:09:46Pereira area, especially, is a very touristy area
00:09:49because it is in an area called the Coffee Axis where
00:09:53many visits are made at this
00:09:56time of year.
00:09:59About 7,800 Catalans reside permanently in
00:10:02Colombia. Here as president of the Catalan community, we are trying
00:10:05to speak with all the colleagues who live in Pereira,
00:10:09Manizales, in Cali, eh, luckily they have been
00:10:13sending messages that they were fine, that they were okay, but
00:10:16ehm, but the area is very destroyed. The earthquake
00:10:20could be felt in several parts of the country, also in cities like Bogotá or
00:10:23Medellín, where the majority of Catalans live. The fact that everyone came out
00:10:27into the street was very impactful, at least in the area I saw, which is
00:10:31the surroundings of the streets, they were filled with people, they came down
00:10:35without thinking and well, with that
00:10:38fear of aftershocks, surprised, really surprised
00:10:41and well, the TV that I have mounted on an arm on the wall
00:10:45also moved and I said oh, what is happening here. It also
00:10:48caught Catalans who were in the country doing tourism by surprise. It was quarter past
00:10:527 in the morning, we were in the hostel where I am
00:10:56staying, and suddenly it is true that everything started to shake. At first
00:10:59the sensation was curious because you didn't really know what was happening and you saw the
00:11:03buildings moving from one side to the other. It is the most touristy area, it is the area known
00:11:07as the coffee axis, it is the coffee zone,
00:11:10eh, it is in the center of the country, it is an area between
00:11:14in the middle of the two mountain ranges, western and
00:11:17central, and it is a populated area, it is a
00:11:21rich area where there is tourism. The foreign affairs department
00:11:24of the Generalitat says that it has no record of Catalans
00:11:28affected by the earthquake.
00:11:31In Barcelona, Colombian citizens living there are following
00:11:34with concern the news arriving from their country. We went to
00:11:38check it out by visiting several places to see how they are experiencing
00:11:42the air in Hortigosa.
00:11:45The news of the earthquake in Colombia caught many Colombians
00:11:49living in Barcelona, or who are just passing through as tourists, by surprise. Many of them
00:11:52gathered in establishments like this one, with traditional cuisine from the country,
00:11:56to share the latest news that was
00:12:00arriving. In addition, they explained that although most had
00:12:03been able to contact family and friends in the most
00:12:06affected areas, they were living with great anguish the situation that was
00:12:10happening in the
00:12:10territory.
00:12:15Quite emotionally affected, we already spoke with our relatives,
00:12:18we managed with difficulty to communicate, but we managed to
00:12:21contact them, they are all well, I am very attentive
00:12:25on the phone to receive more messages to see what
00:12:28happens, we are just waiting for a friend of ours
00:12:31who hasn't said anything yet to answer. One has the anguish
00:12:35of friends, friends of friends that well
00:12:39a little bit of everything has happened, a feeling of despair, desolation
00:12:43and perhaps a spiritual journey because one is here but with one's heart
00:12:47there. This area where there has been an earthquake
00:12:51is accustomed to seismic movements and several tectonic plates
00:12:55converge there. Enricagut, but what happened for this
00:12:59earthquake to be so virulent? Well, as you mentioned,
00:13:02it is a problematic area in terms of plates and it seems that what happened
00:13:06is that if we look
00:13:09at the barrier between the plates, which are two plates,
00:13:13this one here, the Nazca plate, this enormous continental
00:13:16plate which is the South American one, this barrier we find
00:13:19it here, parallel to the coast. However, the earthquake
00:13:23occurred here. This means that this earthquake
00:13:27was not formed at the border between the two plates, it was not
00:13:30a superficial earthquake, it was deep, very deep, and
00:13:34what seems to have happened is that this Nazca plate has gone
00:13:38under the South American plate, about 100 km deep,
00:13:41it has broken the faults with great
00:13:44force, being so deep and so powerful, it has spread
00:13:47and been felt from places very distant
00:13:51the Nazca plate over the South American plate. A month
00:13:55and a half ago, there was another strong earthquake in the area, it was in
00:13:59Venezuela. Is there any plate connection between
00:14:02one earthquake and the other? Well, here there is one that participates, which is
00:14:06this one, the South American plate, we always have it
00:14:09here, but instead Nazca did not come into play,
00:14:12the Caribbean plate came into play, this area here for Sant Joan on
00:14:16June 24th. This was a lateral slip between the
00:14:19plates, it was not that these went under in depth for the other,
00:14:23it was a lateral slip.
00:14:27to say, there is a difference, they are not connected unless we think that the
00:14:30South American plate is eh, well, the reason why the two
00:14:34earthquakes have occurred, but here several, several plates are at play, it is a
00:14:37chess game where there is a piece that could be the queen, which
00:14:41is the South American plate, which is the one that has played with
00:14:45both. The result we already see, destruction, collapsed buildings,
00:14:48deaths. In Venezuela, 6,000 have been found so far. Enric
00:14:52Agut, thank you very much for these explanations.
00:15:01Italy and Denmark request in a joint statement migrant
00:15:05repatriation centers in third countries outside the European Union. The
00:15:09Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of the far-right and the Danish
00:15:13Mete Frederiksen, a social democrat, also agree
00:15:16in rejecting what they consider uncontrolled immigration
00:15:19as a result of the migratory crisis in Ceuta. Both criticize
00:15:23the negative impact of irregular migration
00:15:25on the crime rate and the pressure on public
00:15:28services.
00:15:31A meeting has been called for Thursday between the Spanish government and the autonomous communities to
00:15:35address the relocation of minors who arrived in Ceuta. It will
00:15:39be held with the frontal opposition of Vox, who will not attend the meeting and who
00:15:42shares some regional governments with the PP. The Spanish
00:15:46government assures that ideally, the
00:15:49minors would return to their families, which, by the way,
00:15:52is the same as what the Moroccan
00:15:54Minister of Justice has said.
00:15:57Without enough translators to attend to them, the dozens of minors wait at the
00:16:00doors of the police station in Ceuta. They queue so that
00:16:03the police can take their data and add them to a list that... already
00:16:07reaches 1400 registered minors. According to the Spanish
00:16:11government, the number will continue to rise. I don't dare to give
00:16:14a definitive figure. The fate of these minors is uncertain, but the
00:16:18government's priority will be for them to return to their
00:16:21families.
00:16:25the government of Morocco, also with the minors, with their families, so that
00:16:29family reunification can happen. In this, he agrees
00:16:33with the Moroccan Minister of Justice, who has demanded the return
00:16:36of the minors in an interview with a North African newspaper. Those who cannot
00:16:40return will be transferred to other communities, as the law states. The
00:16:44first meeting on the distribution will be on Thursday. Vox says that
00:16:48it will not send its regional representatives. The PP, which governs
00:16:51with them in several communities,
00:16:55criticizing the Spanish
00:16:56government.
00:17:02It is incapable of defending our borders. For its part, Junts says that in
00:17:05Catalonia there are not enough places to accommodate them. It recalls the
00:17:092025 agreement by which it was exempted from the distribution. What the Spanish
00:17:13government has to decide is if it wants to continue doing the job as
00:17:17it was until now or if it wants to go back to what it was before and continue
00:17:20to strain Catalonia. We bet eh to continue
00:17:23as before and that Catalonia be excluded. Between adults and minors in
00:17:27Ceuta, there are between 8,000 and 11,000 migrants who entered on July
00:17:3030, according to the president of the city, who has asked to intern them
00:17:34in internment centers before expelling them.
00:17:42Vivas also expressed concern about the possibility of a new wave of arrivals
00:17:46this week, which has forced the suspension of holidays for military
00:17:50and civil guards.
00:17:53Controversy over the landing of a Chinese car manufacturer in Ferrol
00:17:56in Galicia. According to the newspapers El Mundo and El País, the army and the
00:18:00CNI would have expressed their concern because the new
00:18:03factory would be close to the naval base of Ferrol and the shipyards
00:18:07of Navantia. Both the Junta and the Spanish government defend this investment
00:18:11of 200 million euros from the Chinese group Saic,
00:18:14manufacturer of the well-known brand MG.
00:18:18These MGs disembarking at the port of Ferrol were received as the
00:18:22symbol of the arrival of the Chinese giant, with a factory that is to
00:18:25create a thousand jobs with an investment of 200 million
00:18:28euros. It is a commitment on which both the president of the Galician community
00:18:32and the president of the Spanish government have been working in recent
00:18:36months. The factory will be very close to the frigates of the Ferrol
00:18:39military arsenal and the Navantia shipyards, next to the
00:18:43historic Bazan. This proximity has triggered alarms
00:18:47for a possible risk of espionage, or at least that
00:18:50is what sources from the CNI and the Ministry of Defense
00:18:53have leaked. The Spanish government, which must approve the operation, is
00:18:57calm, but with
00:18:58nuances.
00:19:03economic, of security, that are met and that make the
00:19:04operation viable.
00:19:37perfectly from many places in the city and other sources consider that the
00:19:41leak could come from defense companies that would like to occupy the
00:19:44land now reserved for the
00:19:46Chinese.
00:19:49Ukraine perpetrated today the deadliest attack in the last two
00:19:53years against Russian territory. Drones attacked one
00:19:56of the main centers of the petrochemical industry in the Tatarstan
00:19:59region and killed at least 13 people and injured more
00:20:03than seventy. More details from Moscow Cristina Solí.
00:20:10According to Ukraine, the target of the attack was a refinery located more than
00:20:141.5 kilometers from its border and which caught fire,
00:20:17but the Tatarstan authorities denounce that one of the
00:20:20devices also hit a hostel and killed nine
00:20:24people, including several
00:20:27and Tajikistan. In recent hours, at least six civilians have also
00:20:30died in the Russian border region of Belgorod, in
00:20:34another of the deadliest attacks by the Ukrainian
00:20:38army, deaths that are explained by the escalation
00:20:42of air attacks that both sides are carrying out against
00:20:45populated areas. For its part, Russia has also been taking advantage in recent
00:20:49weeks of the lack of air defenses to rage against
00:20:52Ukrainian cities. Today alone, at least six civilians died in
00:20:56Kharkiv and Dnipro.
00:20:59We are not leaving Russia because the Supreme Court has excluded from the legislative
00:21:02elections the only opposition party that opposes
00:21:06the war in Ukraine.
00:21:07Cristina.
00:21:10Yes, it is treated as if
00:21:13party, which the electoral commission had allowed to run in the elections
00:21:17against all odds. This has led to... to opposition
00:21:20leaders, both from inside and outside Russia, asking for votes for
00:21:24them and also to a wave of support on social
00:21:27networks. All this has scared the authorities
00:21:32opposition parties, who have feared that there would be a party that would share
00:21:36these elections in a kind of plebiscite on the war.
00:21:39Finally, a far-right party filed a lawsuit with the Supreme
00:21:43Court accusing Lablaka of having received foreign
00:21:46funding, and the judges have upheld it. Young people have
00:21:50gathered throughout the day at the doors of the court and have
00:21:54received the news with shouts of shame. The police
00:21:57threatened to take them to military recruitment offices if they did not
00:22:01disperse.
00:22:11The Plan Ter, the Generalitat's plan that aims to regulate the installation
00:22:14of renewable energies throughout the territory, has received more
00:22:18than 12,000 allegations.
00:22:20The plan aims to pull Catalonia out of the tail of Europe in terms of renewable
00:22:24energies. Currently, 60% of the energy depends on
00:22:27fossil fuels and aspires to totally decarbonize by
00:22:302050, but to
00:22:34territory will have to be dedicated to it. We see what this means on the map: on the one
00:22:37hand, solar panels will be installed,
00:22:41are mainly central Catalonia and also the western lands. In
00:22:45contrast, for wind turbines, the most installations
00:22:48will be in the south of the country, also in the north,
00:22:51Empordà. However, this distribution faces the frontal
00:22:54rejection of a large part of the involved regions because it will affect,
00:22:58among others, agricultural areas.
00:23:01The fact that 12,000 allegations have been presented to the Plan Ter
00:23:04means, according to agricultural entities and local communities, that the document
00:23:08must at least be rewritten. A Plan Ter that has been done in a hurry
00:23:11in any way, without listening to
00:23:14the territory, only providing for the interests of energy companies
00:23:18and vulture funds. The Generalitat is selling the narrative
00:23:21that the allegations made by municipalities
00:23:25are a way of participating. This is not
00:23:28true, this is a manipulation by the council. There are already more
00:23:32than 300 municipalities that have opposed the plan, believing that
00:23:36it will destroy much agricultural and natural land and that it violates
00:23:39about forty points of different laws. They have been very
00:23:42clear with their demand. Firstly, we ask them to withdraw the
00:23:46Plan Ter and secondly, we ask for a moratorium on
00:23:49industrial macro-plant renewable projects until there
00:23:53is a well-made, approved and consensual plan with the citizens.
00:23:56For its part, the government makes a very different reading of the 12,000
00:24:00allegations. It will incorporate them to adjust the
00:24:03initial proposal to the points of the territory where necessary. They will lead us to
00:24:06improve the document and from there to elaborate a new, more
00:24:10consensual proposal during the second public information period.
00:24:13Other voices acknowledge that changes will need to be made to the document,
00:24:16but that it is a good tool to... signify the
00:24:20growth of green energies and stop being at the tail of Europe for
00:24:24renewables. The most important thing is precisely to have a
00:24:27planning element and understand that it not only talks about the locations of
00:24:31energy generation, but that this energy then has to be transported, and the alternative of
00:24:35not having a plan, for us to understand, eh, would probably
00:24:39lead us to a much worse scenario.
00:24:42Still on energy, Wednesday's eclipse will test for a few
00:24:46minutes an electrical grid increasingly dependent on solar
00:24:50energy. The eclipse will be like a storm, a phenomenon that can be
00:24:53foreseen, but it is more sudden, forceful and
00:24:56shorter. Solar production will suddenly drop and other sources will have to
00:25:00take over. After
00:25:038 minutes and 20 seconds of travel, sunlight
00:25:07reaches thousands of solar panels on the peninsula, and these summer days
00:25:10at 8:30 in the evening, the time of the total eclipse, around
00:25:1416% of the electricity we consume still comes from the
00:25:18sun. But on Wednesday, these panels... will suddenly travel to the
00:25:21autumn. At 8 o'clock, the solar radiation will have already decreased
00:25:25significantly. This must be taken into account to guarantee the stability
00:25:29of a bramble that is increasingly fed by the sun. The day
00:25:32before, the electric grid makes a
00:25:35solar photovoltaic energy. So, this is already integrated into the
00:25:39system, what will happen is that it will fall a little earlier and the
00:25:42faster reacting sources will come in, which are normal
00:25:46hydraulic energy, hydraulic that stores energy and... and
00:25:50combined cycle gas. Catalonia is one of the peninsular areas where
00:25:54photovoltaic has less weight and
00:25:56nuclear has more. Our electrical system is
00:25:59interdependent of the Spanish State and we function like a large orchestra
00:26:03that can never stop making music, if one instrument lowers the
00:26:06intensity, another must immediately take over to
00:26:10avoid the silence of a blackout. This time,
00:26:15electricity will be moderate, because it will arrive
00:26:18at dusk and will only affect around 20% of the peninsular
00:26:21photovoltaic park. If the solar eclipse had
00:26:25happened in the middle of the day, surely we would have had a
00:26:28significant impact on prices, if you have a bill that varies depending on the frame's hairs.
00:26:32like the regulated tariff, then it has a minimal impact, because we are
00:26:36talking about one or two hours in the total of the
00:26:39bill. Reteléctrica estimates that the maximum reduction in solar production
00:26:43will be 5 GW, approximately 13% of the maximum
00:26:46demand forecast for a typical August Wednesday, in other
00:26:50words, the equivalent power of five conventional
00:26:53nuclear reactors. César Center, TV3,
00:26:56Barcelona. We have been warning for days that
00:27:00protecting your eyes well when watching
00:27:02the eclipse is fundamental, looking directly at the sun without protection can
00:27:06cause irreversible eye injuries, that is, incurable in many
00:27:10places, special glasses have sold out or very few
00:27:13remain?
00:27:15This Terrassa optician already has almost no approved glasses left to
00:27:19see the eclipse, this means that the population is aware that they will have to
00:27:23protect their eyes, but not everyone knows why it is essential,
00:27:27because sunglasses do not have this, this thing to
00:27:31protect, I don't know, I don't know how to explain it to you. First of all,
00:27:34because observing the eclipse, unlike the sun on a normal day, could
00:27:38give us a false sense of security. Normally, we don't think of
00:27:41looking at the sun because we already know it will hurt
00:27:45the eclipse, since it is getting dark, nothing happens, the
00:27:48truth is that at that moment is when our retina can be most
00:27:52sensitive because our pupil will have dilated and this light will affect
00:27:55our eye with more energy. That's why we need these
00:27:59certified glasses that filter 100% of the ultraviolet
00:28:02rays and also the infrared, a
00:28:05protection that we do not achieve with normal sunglasses. This is
00:28:09the image seen through these glasses which are the ones with the most
00:28:13powerful filter on the market. This filters ultraviolet light and therefore
00:28:17still allows us to see the street
00:28:20light. In contrast, if we try glasses approved for
00:28:23the eclipse, these also filter infrared light
00:28:27and therefore we can see the sun with total
00:28:30normality, also to see that we are totally in the dark and this is what allows us
00:28:34to see the eclipse safely.
00:28:38Despite wearing approved glasses, ophthalmologists recommend
00:28:41not exposing your eyes for too many consecutive
00:28:43the eclipse.
00:28:52Because with only a few seconds of exposure, it is enough to
00:28:55suffer from ocular
00:28:56retinopathy.
00:29:11That's why any precaution is little to enjoy the eclipse
00:29:14without suffering irreversible damage to the retina. Julie Tormader,
00:29:18TV3 Terrassa.
00:29:21In the first six months of the year, Endesa has opened almost
00:29:2413,000 sanctioning files in Catalonia for alleged
00:29:27electricity fraud. In Spain as a whole, the figure is close to 39. That is,
00:29:31one in three sanctioning files are opened here in
00:29:34Catalonia. The immense majority of these frauds, as you can see here, are due
00:29:38to economic activities or clandestine installations
00:29:41related, above all, to crimes such as the illegal cultivation of marijuana.
00:29:45Only 3% correspond to private
00:29:48clients. It is registered here. In some
00:29:51cases, without conclusive evidence, the company
00:29:54cut off their supply and took them to court for alleged fraud. This
00:29:58has represented a real judicial ordeal for the affected people. Before.
00:30:02they could not prove that they were not committing any
00:30:04illegality.
00:30:07Under the pool they had, according to Endesa technicians, a double
00:30:11electrical connection and they were defrauding the company.
00:30:14We had nothing, then they said they had a camera
00:30:18that they put through the tubes or I don't know how they
00:30:21do it, but that it wasn't even necessary to put it because it was so clear, so
00:30:25obvious. They ended up imposing a sanction of
00:30:27€6,400, but that was not the worst. They
00:30:31cut off our electricity in the middle of January, in the middle of a cold snap,
00:30:34we had two children who were minors, we had to rent a compressor so that
00:30:38the heating would work, it was a bad dream. In the end, justice has given them
00:30:42the reason. The Barcelona Court considers that Endesa, in a precipitate
00:30:45and undue manner, cut off their supply without having
00:30:49conclusive evidence of fraud and that it caused them damage that the
00:30:53company must compensate. Not only that double
00:30:56connection is not duly accredited, but the sanction.
