00:03:08Good morning, Carles Puigdemont says that when he returns to Catalonia he will dedicate himself to
00:03:12traveling the territory to take its pulse by doing
00:03:16a listening process and then he will decide what political
00:03:19steps to take. In an interview with the British
00:03:22newspaper The Sunday Times published today, he says
00:03:26that this is his plan, which he has been saying for a long time. and
00:03:30that he will execute it
00:03:32Follow me and discover the legend of its as long as the Spanish courts apply the amnesty to him that the Spanish
00:03:35Cortes approved at the time. It had been more than a year since he had not

00:03:42until the next Catalan elections to decide the
00:03:45future, he says he first wants to gauge the sentiment of the
00:03:49country.
00:03:54i try to be in contact with my
00:03:56but also with President Radelles, with the world of team, with the people in order to understand exactly what is going on in Catalonia but i
00:04:00know it's not the same to smell, to touch, to
00:04:04feel, to be among the
00:04:06people, that is my first
00:04:10intention when i arrive some of immersion in
00:04:13the reality to to touch
00:04:17again,
00:04:22Pedro Sánchez and Feijó coincide today with two political events
00:04:26here in Catalonia, the leader of the will intervene this afternoon at the festival of...
00:04:30Agabar and will be accompanied by Salvador Illa, while the president
00:04:34of the PP will attend a party event in Badalona with
00:04:37Alejandro Fernández.
00:04:40cellists of the early century, that is Both arrive in Catalonia, at the beginning of the political year with mutual
00:04:43reproaches such as the humanitarian crisis or the alleged
00:04:47corruption cases of the two major Spanish
00:04:50parties. In addition, both Sánchez and Feijó are aware of the
00:04:54important role that the votes of Catalans play in the congress
00:04:57with 48 deputies and that, as you know,... next year there will be general
00:05:01elections.
00:05:10We go outside, at least. women have died and about twenty have been injured in
00:05:14Moscow and its region in an offensive with hundreds of
00:05:18drones that Russia attributes to Ukraine. The operation has
00:05:22also affected the oil refinery that had already been
00:05:25the target of other incursions. According to
00:05:27Russian authorities, anti-aircraft defenses have shot down
00:05:31nearly 400 drones heading
00:05:35the capital, Sergei Sobianin, has
00:05:37described the events as the most intense drone
00:05:40attack against the capital. Sobianin has assured that
00:05:44the objective was to interrupt the last day of the legislative
00:05:48elections that are being held this weekend. Ukraine has
00:05:51not yet commented on these
00:05:54events.
00:05:59These elections, as we say, are marked,
00:06:02also today by this electronic vote. The pacifist
00:06:06Yabloko Party has been banned by the authorities, the
00:06:09communists and the opposition in exile have asked the population to
00:06:13vote, not to rely on the electronic
00:06:16system that they consider an instrument of fraud, nor
00:06:19on the votes that have been cast so far, warning that in
00:06:23some polling stations in Moscow there are no
00:06:261,500 representatives have not been able to access the voting
00:06:29centers, in addition to also suffering
00:06:32threats. The polling stations will close around 8
00:06:36in the evening and then the count will begin, although no
00:06:39surprises are expected... and
00:06:43forecasts indicate that United Russia, Vladimir
00:06:46Putin's party, will win again, surpassing
00:06:5050% of the
00:06:51votes.
00:06:55And today there are also elections in Germany, in Berlin, and in Mecklenburg,
00:06:58Western Pomerania. Polls point to a strong growth of the far
00:07:02right Alternative for Germany. Regional elections
00:07:05that could also further question the leadership of Chancellor
00:07:09Mers, if the conservatives of the CDU have
00:07:12bad results, as already happened two weeks ago in
00:07:16Saxony-Anhalt.
00:07:19Since 8 in the morning, polling stations have been open here in Berlin
00:07:23and also in Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania. And in fact, we can already
00:07:26give you a first headline, which is that the far-right Alternative for Germany, according to the
00:07:30polls, would double its results. The big difference is that
00:07:33neither of the two places will be able to govern. In
00:07:37Berlin, the novelty would be a new mayor, Ellie Feralp, a German
00:07:40lawyer of Turkish origin who could govern for the first
00:07:44time a city
00:07:47SPD, she is part of The Left Party, of the radical
00:07:50left. Her electoral
00:07:54campaign has focused on issues such as rent, very important here in
00:07:57Berlin, eh, garbage collection or the
00:08:00price of public transport. In Mecklenburg,
00:08:03Western Pomerania, there is a close race between socialists and Alternative for
00:08:07Germany, but attention is especially focused on the results of the CDU, if
00:08:11they fall below... which at the moment the polls do not
00:08:15suggest, but if they fall below this 5%, they are at 6
00:08:18or 7 depending on the poll, eh, the party could be left out of the
00:08:22regional parliament and this would be a complete defeat for the conservatives
00:08:26with consequences here in Berlin. In fact, some
00:08:29believe that it could unleash the replacement of Chancellor
00:08:32Friedrich Merz here in the capital. The
00:08:35outcome of all this from 6
00:08:37o'clock.
00:08:48Tonight at 30 minutes in the report: the earth
00:08:52burns. Two teams from the program have followed the simultaneous fires
00:08:55this summer in the Gavarres in Northern Catalonia. Firefighters
00:08:59warn that fires are faster and unpredictable and
00:09:03this forces them to adapt to a new scenario marked by high
00:09:06temperatures and also the persistence of heat.
00:09:09The report also raises the...
00:09:20In the last 30 years, Catalonia has lost 20% of its cultivated
00:09:24land.
00:09:29Oxfam Intermón celebrates 70 years with a major event in
00:09:32Barcelona. The entity, founded in 1956, warns
00:09:36that the increase in extreme wealth puts
00:09:39rights, democracy and humanitarian aid at risk. According to
00:09:43the organization, the richest 1% of Catalonia concentrates
00:09:4623% of the wealth, while
00:09:50four out of 10 Catalans do not make it to the end of
00:09:53the month. Oxfam Intermón currently works in 77
00:09:57countries, and in the last year has supported more than 14 million people.
00:10:00persones.
00:10:06And more news, a Girona court has decreed
00:10:09the closed regime internment for the minor, 17 years old,
00:10:13arrested on Friday for the rape of a woman in
00:10:17Vidreres, in La Selva. The young man has been placed at the disposal of the Juvenile Prosecutor's
00:10:20Office and the police maintain an open investigation. The
00:10:24events would have happened last Saturday, the victim
00:10:27had gone out for a run when the young man assaulted her near the
00:10:30Aiguaviva Parc urbanization, threatened her with an
00:10:34object and sexually
00:10:35assaulted her.
00:10:40And two men aged 42 and 50 have been arrested by the police
00:10:44as alleged perpetrators of four aggravated robberies in
00:10:47shops in Poblenou, the investigators would have
00:10:50identified them, thanks, among other things, to video
00:10:53surveillance cameras. Both
00:10:56accumulate more than a hundred police records for
00:11:00similar acts. The robberies occurred during August and the
00:11:04detainees have already been brought before
00:11:06the court.
00:11:16The White House has already made effective the ban on three media outlets
00:11:20including CNN, which Trump accuses of spreading false
00:11:25House correspondent, Betty Klein, explained live
00:11:29that her accreditation had been deactivated
00:11:32and confiscated and that she had been denied access to the premises.
00:11:36The same has happened with journalists from MS-Nau
00:11:39and the digital portal Politico. The three media
00:11:42are studying legal actions and various press law experts
00:11:46consider that the measure may conflict
00:11:50the United States Constitution, which protects freedom
00:11:53of expression.
00:11:59Artificial intelligence fully enters esotericism
00:12:03and deepens the debate on the control over this technology, a global
00:12:06fever with its epicenter in South Korea where robots
00:12:10and digital avatars are replacing shamans
00:12:13and fortune tellers of all
00:12:15time. From the crystal ball to
00:12:19the algorithm. In Seoul, consulting the future is an everyday
00:12:22practice, but in places like this, where before there were candles and ancient
00:12:26books, now there are servers and touch screens.
00:12:29Through artificial intelligence, algorithms cross thousands of historical
00:12:33and astrological data in a few seconds, offering immediate
00:12:37answers about love, health or money to an increasingly
00:12:40young public looking for certainties in an uncertain world. But this
00:12:44phenomenon goes beyond Asia, all over the world, applications and automated
00:12:48chats are multiplying, offering personalized astrological predictions in
00:12:51seconds or tarot readings generated by code.
00:12:55Digital platforms that use neural networks to respond to the
00:12:58most spiritual concerns of society, a booming business
00:13:02that also raises alarms among experts.
00:13:06Classical tarot readers warn that artificial intelligence imitates mystic
00:13:10language, but it lacks intuition and spiritual
00:13:12connection. A new era where answers from beyond
00:13:16are no longer sought in temples, but inside a microchip, thus opening a
00:13:20profound debate about the ethical limits of algorithms that now also
00:13:24want to control
00:13:25destiny.
00:13:35In the Lleida plain, some farms have already started harvesting peanuts, which has been
00:13:38brought forward by about 15 days due to climate change and the
00:13:42climate crisis. Farmers are not happy with this
00:13:45campaign, a lot of corn hectares had been planted, but
00:13:49the yield will not be good. High temperatures
00:13:52have affected its flowering and many farms have been affected by
00:13:56red spider mites, which makes the plants dry up and the
00:14:00cobs smaller. Phytosanitary treatments
00:14:03have not worked and farmers have been
00:14:07denied the use of a cheaper treatment that they had applied exceptionally
00:14:10in recent years. All this, added to
00:14:14the rise in fuel and fertilizer prices, means that many
00:14:18farmers are considering reducing crops to be able to cover
00:14:21costs.
00:14:25The heat and the red spider mite
00:14:28that likes high temperatures has made the
00:14:32corn crop yield of about
00:14:3515,000 kilos per hectare this year to be 9,000 or so. If
00:14:39they don't give us an alternative, we will clearly
00:14:43reduce the surface area of corn
00:14:46because what we cannot do is work almost
00:14:49at a loss.
00:14:52I mean, it doesn't compensate, it doesn't compensate for the
00:14:56work you do here, the expenses that exist today, which, as you mentioned before,
00:14:59are increasing, this low production does not
00:15:03compensate, I mean, we will surely change the crop here and in other farms where
00:15:07there was perhaps an intention to grow corn, perhaps it will not be
00:20:10Good morning, today we will talk with Núria Ballester, who is the director of the Pau
00:20:14Casals Museum in El Vendrell, now that it is 150 years since the birth
00:20:18of this great musician and composer, he defended values such as peace and
00:20:21democracy that are threatened in today's world. The challenge is how
00:20:25to make them known to new generations.
00:20:39The Pau Casals Foundation, which this year has received the Cross of Sant Jordi from the
00:20:43Generalitat de Catalunya, promotes the commemoration
00:20:45of the Pau Casals Year, who was a cellist, composer,
00:20:50orchestra conductor, humanist teacher. Núria
00:20:54Ballesté is the director of the Paul
00:20:57Casals Museum and we are here at Casa Vila
00:21:01Pau Casals, which is the place where he also stayed until
00:21:041939. Pau Casals was born in El Vendrell, tell us a little
00:21:08about his emotional landscape that he experienced here in his land,
00:21:12it goes very directly to these streets of the late 19th
00:21:16century in El Vendrell, especially
00:21:19the El Vendrell church, which is the instrument that his father played and with which Pau
00:21:22Casals has a very strong emotional connection and the sea of Sant
00:21:26Salvador, the neighborhood of Sant Salvador where Pau Casals in
00:21:301909 decided to buy these lands to build his
00:21:33summer residence. Here in the Corsal on the beach. Exactly, right
00:21:37in front of the Museum. A fantastic landscape that is obviously very
00:21:41connected to the feeling and the
00:21:45memory of Pau Casals of El Vendrell. He always spoke of his father as his first
00:21:48teacher, he was the one who made him love music, he was the one who
00:21:51introduced him to the musical world through the
00:21:55piano, the flute, the violin, also the organ, obviously, as
00:21:58we have mentioned, and thanks to him
00:22:01also because he was born, as he said, with a special
00:22:04gift, Casals became the
00:22:08great musician that awaited him and that the future brought
00:22:11him.
00:22:24His father taught him music, his mother
00:22:27justice, this strong feeling of social and humanitarian
00:22:30justice. His mother was a person who had a great sense of
00:22:34justice and Casals always spoke of her with great
00:22:38admiration because she always transmitted to him
00:22:42this feeling of social justice of peace
00:22:45that people had to understand through dialogue and he
00:22:49assimilated this from a very young age and obviously
00:22:53carried it forward with all the actions that Pau Casals took throughout
00:22:56his life. Pau Casals lived here in this house until
00:22:591939 and then with the outcome of the Spanish
00:23:02Civil War he had to go into exile, first to Prades de Conflent
00:23:06and then to Puerto Rico to his mother. The house was initially
00:23:09smaller, a house with a ground floor and an upper floor and in the 20s he
00:23:13expanded it with the living room in the garden, this
00:23:17magnificent room that was the music room that he had. spent time not to enjoy with
00:23:21friends and to play chamber music, this could not be, as you say, the civil
00:23:25war broke out, he went into exile, an exile
00:23:28that he spent in these two places, 16
00:23:32years in Prades de Conflent and then in Puerto Rico, very
00:23:36linked to the figure of his
00:23:37mother.
00:23:41He was a musician committed to Peace, human rights, freedom, in fact he said
00:23:45he would not play in Nazi Germany also not play in the allied
00:23:48countries because...
00:23:50it did not yet address Franco's dictatorship, how did he experience all this? Pau
00:23:54Casals always said that his baton and his cello were his weapons,
00:23:58he used them throughout his life, saying
00:24:02that he would not go to play in Soviet Russia, he would not go to play in Nazi Germany, and he stood
00:24:06up to the allied countries, after the attitude
00:24:09they had with the permissiveness of the Franco regime, for him it was a
00:24:13great sacrifice, but his musical silence was very
00:24:16significant, obviously he was very aware that this would not change
00:24:20the attitudes of governments, but Pau Casals always said that there are more important
00:24:23things than music and for him his moral attitude was always more
00:24:27important than his art his music. How did
00:24:30he help the exiles? When Casals arrives in Prades de
00:24:34Conflent he is very aware of the serious situation that thousands
00:24:37of exiles, thousands of refugees are experiencing in the refugee
00:24:41camps in southern France. And then he decides that
00:24:45at that moment the most important thing is to help these people. So he
00:24:48organized with. that there were in Prades de Conflent also a truck with
00:24:52a driver, I always say that Casals was not like the first
00:24:55NGO in the sense that he gave
00:24:59thousands and thousands of euros, eh, he wrote thousands
00:25:03of letters to people who were in the refugee camps of La
00:25:06Maternidad de Elna and it was an action that throughout
00:25:10his life he always said that it was one of the things he
00:25:14was most proud of, he silenced his cello for a while
00:25:17but in return he had done many concerts, 250
00:25:21a year, yes, exactly, in fact, Casals was able to do
00:25:25what he did, we also have to be clear, because he was one of the best
00:25:30to say, first the musician, then the activist, eh,
00:25:33Casals triumphed as a great cellist at the beginning
00:25:37of the century in Paris at the hands of the great conductor Francesc Charles LaMorer, from
00:25:41that moment he became one of the best cellists in the world,
00:25:45eh, more than 250 concerts a year, which is
00:25:48incredible, he had a frantic schedule, eh, this
00:25:52obviously allows him, at one point in his life, to be a very
00:25:55recognized personality, to be able to position himself and be able to say
00:25:58no, no, to be able to make his voice heard, Casals had this
00:26:02very clear, and he always said, the more responsibility
00:26:06a person has, the more responsible they are for their
00:26:10actions, he complied with this all his life and with
00:26:13what attitude do you think he would have, how would Pau
00:26:16Casals react today if he saw this turbulent and upside-down world
00:26:20we live in? I think he wouldn't believe it, he
00:26:24who lived through a very turbulent century of wars and
00:26:27in which he put all he could to achieve the ideal that for him
00:26:31was most sacred, which was peace, I think he wouldn't believe what we are experiencing
00:26:35today, I am sure that he would position himself strongly
00:26:39against all the conflicts that we are experiencing, against
00:26:43conflicts and also against these hate speeches
00:26:47of one against the other, totally,
00:26:50totally, that is, eh, Casals, eh,
00:26:54was, was a person who defended dialogue, who defended
00:26:58peace, he always said, music, this wonderful universal
00:27:03politics and nations, should not be the
00:27:06source of communication between all men and that's why he always
00:27:10through his music wanted to give this
00:27:13message of peace, no, and at the end of his life with the with the with the
00:27:17the composition of the nativity scene that he directed was his
00:27:20way, through his music, of transmitting
00:27:24this message of fraternity among
00:27:28the Medal of Freedom, right? In '61, President
00:27:31Kennedy invited him to a concert at the White House. Two years later,
00:27:35he recognized him by presenting him with the Presidential Medal.
00:27:39President Kennedy defended the cause of Catalonia, so to speak.
00:27:43In 1971, he received the
00:27:47peace medal at the United Nations, not
00:27:50AIM
00:27:55Catalan provinces
00:27:58of Spain.
00:28:15This coherent attitude that Casals maintained throughout his life, his help to exiles, the issue of musical
00:28:18silence, and above all his stance against the
00:28:22Cold War and the arms race from a certain point
00:28:26onwards led to Casals being
00:28:29invited to the United Nations for the first time in
00:28:331958. From then on, Casals became a symbol of a man of peace in the
00:28:36world, of exiled music, and this led to U Thant entrusting him
00:28:39with the anthem for the United Nations in
00:28:431971. On the day of the premiere, which was October 24,
00:28:471971, the Secretary-General of the United Nations,
00:28:50U Thant, presented him with this peace medal in
00:28:54recognition of this vital trajectory and the commitment that
00:28:57Pau Casals had.
00:28:58had.
00:29:09You, Noria, were in Washington, with the widow
00:29:12of Pau Casals, Marta Casals, and you made
00:29:15an inventory of Pau Casals' documentary
00:29:18collection, which is enormous, with more than 50,000 letters. What
00:29:22don't we know about Pau Casals? Indeed, the Pau Casals
00:29:24documentary collection that we have deposited in the National Archive of Catalonia is
00:29:28an extraordinary collection. It is formed by all the
00:29:32documents of his life, not only the part referring to
00:29:36Puerto Rico, which is what I went to do in Washington, but also all the
00:29:39documentation from the early century that is preserved in Sant Salvador and also in Prada,
00:29:42and it is an incredible collection because
00:29:45it is a testament to this contemporary society that Pau Casals
00:29:49was able to live in. Pau Casals was a person who related to musicians, but also to
00:29:52politicians, to artists. We have
00:29:55letters with Kennedy, Martin Luther King,
00:29:59exile, with musicians like Menuhin, Fritz Kreisler.
00:30:03and yes, that is to say, it is incredible, it really is a
00:30:06treasure that we are lucky to have here in
00:30:10Catalonia. I think for example, with what we were commenting on before, right, the
00:30:13issue of help to exiles, the magnitude
00:30:17of this help, that is, we can say Casals helped, but for example, no in-depth
00:30:21study has ever been done on the number of
00:30:24people he helped, the amount of money he gave,
00:30:28and what was Pau Casals like, you who have spoken with his widow, right?
00:30:32I believe that Casals was above all a very simple person, very
00:30:36simple, he was a very spiritual person, he was a very
00:30:40very kind person, but at the same time very
00:30:43demanding. Many times people have the impression of Pau
00:30:47Casals as being a very serious person, not because it's hard to find him in photos
00:30:50laughing, or because he had a very high
00:30:54degree of demand, but not only on other people but on himself. He was a
00:30:57person, let's remember, that his beginnings were...
