00:00:02Yes, in fact, the Spanish government, sources of
00:00:21serious consequences, both the director of
00:00:27The accident of two high-speed trains in Toledo leaves
00:00:30at least 68 dead and some 180 injured, some very
00:00:34seriously. The search teams will continue working for the
00:00:38next few hours. The Spanish government has declared three
00:00:41days of mourning since this morning. The accident happened in the middle of
00:00:44the pre-campaign. And we will go to the
00:00:47end. And if there have been negligences it will
00:00:51be known. And if there have been failures in the safety
00:00:54system. It will be responded to with total
00:00:57forcefulness.
00:01:09The causes of the accident are being investigated, but the
00:01:12conversations between the control center and the drivers have already been leaked, a breakdown
00:01:15had stopped all the trains on the route, then they were given
00:01:19the order to resume the march at
00:01:21to rebuild normal speed, but Lirio reported that he could
00:01:23not.
00:01:28The railway workers' union sema. maintains the strike for this Thursday to
00:01:31demand improvements in railway safety. The strike
00:01:35had been called days ago. The government asks people to look for
00:01:39alternative transport and, if possible, to avoid
00:01:42displacements.
00:01:48Support concentrations and minutes of silence have been repeated throughout the country in
00:01:52mourning for the victims of
00:01:54the accident.
00:01:58The Mossos admit, however.
00:02:01is called. "marcha a la vista", that is, Occupation due to the call for Blockos on Castanyada Night after
00:02:03last Saturday's riots in Barcelona, Councillor Perlon
00:02:07states that the police are prepared for what she describes
00:02:11as a new phenomenon of youth
00:02:12violence.
00:02:16Flávio Bolsonaro and his family are now in the United States, the far-right
00:02:20former candidate avoids the action of justice for several open
00:02:24cases in Brazil after his defeat in Sunday's
00:02:27elections.
00:02:50fog in the interior plains and low clouds on the central coast
00:02:54where some drops of tramontana are not ruled out. In the
00:02:57afternoon, bands of thin clouds will arrive from the west and
00:03:01more extensive low clouds on the coast, the
00:03:04maximums will drop a couple of degrees.
00:03:31we have outside, they were not breaking the window panes to be able to
00:03:34get out, there were people who practically could not
00:03:38move.
00:03:46Hello, good evening, there has been another accident
00:03:48Plaça de l'Afon where the city council on the high-speed line between Madrid and Andalusia nine months
00:03:52after Damuz and with a higher death toll
00:03:55than then. There are at least 68 people who have lost their
00:03:59lives. and more than 180 injured, it happened in Urda, in the province
00:04:03of Toledo, 130 km from Madrid, the body
00:04:06recovery tasks are progressing while trying
00:04:10to answer the big question, what happened, a human
00:04:13error, according to the Minister of Transport, inexplicable,
00:04:17would be the cause of the accident. From the scene, he makes
00:04:21the chronology for us. It all starts at
00:04:258:30 in the morning. At that time there is a fault in the railway
00:04:28safety system. daily the so-called LZB that
00:04:32controls the position and
00:04:34wide follow-up after the speed of each of the high-speed trains that circulate on this line, the
00:04:37Madrid-Seville line. At that moment this system
00:04:40blocked a whole section of 63 km, causing the
00:04:45coach of Espanyol after the six trains there, three in each direction, to be completely stopped.
00:04:496 minutes later, however, from the traffic control center located
00:04:53at Atocha station in Madrid, these six
00:04:56trains were authorized to resume their journey. This was communicated
00:05:00to some of these trains, not all, among others, it was
00:05:03communicated to the Ave train that was stopped about 25 km from this
00:05:07point, according to the Minister of
00:05:09accidents on the high-speed Transport Óscar Puente, but with a nuance, he was informed that
00:05:12he could circulate again under normal conditions when railway
00:05:16regulations state that after a blockage of the safety
00:05:19system, circulation must be resumed with more precautions at
00:05:23a reduced speed, so that if there is any obstacle, any
00:05:26element of the infrastructure that is not in good condition, the driver has
00:05:30time to brake and avoid a collision, this has not
00:05:34happened, eh, the train has continued to advance at the maximum
00:05:37speed that here reaches 200 km/h and when it arrived
00:05:41here. in the municipality of Logieves it impacted with the Irio
00:05:45train that had not yet resumed its journey, according to what the company
00:05:49told us, because the driver had not received this authorization
00:05:53to resume circulation, it was 7 minutes before 9 in the morning
00:05:56when this impact occurred, a lot of violence, there will be work
00:06:00all night to try to see what is the definitive balance
00:06:04of a railway accident that leaves still many unknowns to
00:06:07answer.
00:06:09The LZB control system has failed due to a...
00:06:12communication between computers and has left a 63
00:06:16km section without a safety system. In this section
00:06:20six trains were circulating and stopped. From
00:06:23then on, the control center of Dif de Atocha took charge of the
00:06:27situation, only six minutes later, it told the
00:06:31Ave train to resume its journey. Circumstances
00:06:33from our point of view inexplicable, it could
00:06:37not resume its journey normally since the track circuit was also
00:06:40occupied by the Irio train stopped at
00:06:44the entrance to the station, also with a red signal that
00:06:48prevented the resumption of the journey. After traveling about
00:06:5125 km, the Ave found the Irio train stopped
00:06:55at a speed that could be up to 200 km
00:06:58per hour, the driver would not have had room for maneuver and they
00:07:02collided. Precisely, another of the interrogations is why
00:07:06the control center allowed normal speed, instead of
00:07:10doing so, as the protocol marks, what
00:07:13with a slow driving, maximum 40
00:07:16km/h, to be able to react to any
00:07:20mishap. We have been able to hear how the
00:07:23instruction is given to the other trains and on one of the occasions it is also
00:07:27given incorrectly and it is the driver of one of the trains who
00:07:31corrects the control center and tells him: it cannot
00:07:35be normal speed, it has to be "marcha a la vista". The operator
00:07:38says: oh yes, "marcha a la vista". The Ave circulated for
00:07:42almost a quarter of an hour from when it resumed circulation until it collided with
00:07:45Irio, this accident today has all the circumstances that have
00:07:49accumulated three or four causes that the signaling
00:07:52system fails, that two and three human errors
00:07:55occur in resuming the trains' journey, that the Irio
00:07:58train does not start. The Civil Guard has interrogated the operator of the control center
00:08:02who gave the order to the Ave to resume circulation, although for the moment no
00:08:06further details have been released, the investigation will clarify all the
00:08:10causes and identify the responsible parties.
00:08:14"and a judicial investigation has been opened with secret of summary, yes, the audios of the conversations of the
00:08:18control center of Dif de
00:08:21Atocha with the drivers of the two crashed trains have been made
00:08:24public, there is a first audio that confirms that the driver
00:08:28of the b is given the order to start at normal
00:08:30speed, not the caution
00:08:37one."
00:08:39yes, at
00:08:4208:36, yes. this says
00:08:45train driver,
00:08:53208
00:08:56disconnect
00:08:58disconnect and reconnect
00:09:00and reconnect
00:09:06and reconnect the lzb lzb and resume
00:09:10marching. march under the protection of
00:09:13the BSL, under the protection of the BSL with
00:09:17normal march, with normal march, okay, agreed,
00:09:21come on, well, then tell me when you take it, okay, thank you very much, that's it, goodbye,
00:09:24goodbye, normal march, this is the instruction, the same
00:09:28instruction is given to the driver of the Irio, another fragment
00:09:31of these recordings shows how a problem prevents this
00:09:35Irio convoy from starting and that this fact is communicated to Atocha, there are five
00:09:39minutes to stop the train, but no one gives the order.
00:10:12The President of the Spanish Government has made an institutional statement from the scene
00:10:16of the events, he has said that it is not acceptable that there are two
00:10:21Andalusia corridor this year.
00:10:27the executive, recognized from the first moment the seriousness of what could have
00:10:30happened, sources from the Ministry of Transport already pointed to this negligence
00:10:34this very midday Pedro Sánchez wanted to come here, to know
00:10:38first-hand what was the point where this accident had occurred
00:10:42and to be able to talk to those responsible for the rescue
00:10:45operations, regarding this investigation, he has assured that if there is
00:10:49any negligence it will be explained that if the safety
00:10:52mechanisms have failed, it will act with full
00:10:56forcefulness, but at the same time he wanted to dissociate, at least initially, the
00:11:00causes of today's accident from what happened on this same line, but already
00:11:04in Andalusian territory in Adamuz, at the beginning of this year and where 46
00:11:07people also died. In any case, the President of the Spanish Government said
00:11:11that Spain cannot afford two accidents of this
00:11:15seriousness in less than a year and on the same high-speed
00:11:18line, but he said the investigation will come, now
00:11:21Pedro Sánchez said, the priority is to attend to the victims.
00:11:29and we will go to the end and if there have been negligences it will
00:11:33be known and if there have been failures in the safety
00:11:36system, it will be responded to with total forcefulness, because
00:11:40if we have to reinforce even
00:11:43more safety
00:11:46trust in our high-speed railway system, it will
00:11:50be done because what is not acceptable for a country like
00:11:53Spain is
00:12:02During the day, the passengers who were able to escape unharmed from the accident have given their
00:12:06testimony, some of them shocking for how they experienced
00:12:09the accident in the previous and subsequent minutes and for how
00:12:13difficult it was for them to understand what had happened on board the two trains, more than
00:12:16500 people were traveling.
00:12:20This is the head of the Renfe, damn
00:12:23it, it's a...
00:12:55truth, what happened, why are you in that
00:12:57situation, you take quite a few
00:13:01minutes to react, you have your cell phone, the passengers who were able
00:13:04to get out on their own had to force open doors
00:13:07and windows,
00:13:11and then we reacted and broke the window and got out through the window,
00:13:14we tried to get out through the windows and the doors by forcing them open and we see the
00:13:18Dantesque spectacle on the other side of a destroyed train
00:13:22which we imagined was the one it had crashed with. At first, they
00:13:26themselves tried to help the dozens of injured and helped
00:13:29when the emergency services arrived, this man I
00:13:33take people out there who, we don't know what state they are in, right now I am supporting
00:13:36the ground of a person who is injured I am here helping the paramedics a little,
00:13:40I am here with an olive grove where there were some
00:13:44cows, here now the third
00:13:47helicopter is landing, there are about four or five ambulances, there are people
00:13:51with a lot of blood, with very important blows, they were attended there in the south...
00:14:25accident are the residents of Urda, the nearest municipality of 2,000
00:14:28inhabitants, completely shocked, there spaces have been set up to provide
00:14:31psychological attention to the injured, but also to those people who do not
00:14:35know what has happened to their relatives. The psychologists have explained in
00:14:39what state they received them, but also the testimony is remarkable, as
00:14:43we said, of the neighbors, such as the pharmacist of the town, one of the first
00:14:46to go to attend to the victims.
00:14:50Every time they kept giving, the tragedy of those affected increased,
00:14:53when I arrived at the... cabin to the hypothetical
00:14:57cabin of the Ave, because there was no cabin there, it was a mass of iron, I tried
00:15:01to calm people, don't worry the ambulance will come immediately, I
00:15:04collapsed and came running to the pharmacy for
00:15:08medicines, for tranquilizers, that he is totally
00:15:11in shock, that he is not yet aware of what is happening, we have people who are
00:15:15angry, we have people who are sad, we have people who are worried, we have people in many
00:15:19different places, the grief will be complicated and our intention and
00:15:23our purpose is to try to accompany
00:15:30We continue with the account of what happened, moving to Madrid, from where the two
00:15:34trains involved in the accident had departed, when the... was learned, a
00:15:38psychological support operation was deployed for families and passengers of the trains
00:15:42who have been transferred by
00:15:43bus.
00:15:46Yes, this assistance center has, throughout the day,
00:15:49provided support to about ninety relatives of missing persons and
00:15:53victims, most of whom have not been able to contact their
00:15:57families, here they are being given the information that is being
00:16:00received. Here also 36 passengers from the damaged
00:16:04trains, with minor injuries, have arrived, five
00:16:07of whom have been transferred to hospitals and the rest have
00:16:11been treated here for their injuries, contusions and also for
00:16:14anxiety attacks that they presented. This Atocha
00:16:17assistance center is expected to remain open in the
00:16:20coming hours and days until necessary. There
00:16:24is a team made up of several professionals, psychologists,
00:16:28doctors from various entities such as the Red Cross emergencies
00:16:32and 112. They have spoken with these emergencies and they
00:16:35explain that many of those who arrive... present anxiety attacks and
00:16:39there are also others who are in a state of
00:16:41shock.
00:16:45here affected people are being transported by bus from the trains
00:16:49and we are also attending to relatives of the affected people
00:16:52who have traveled either to get information to see if
00:16:56they knew that their relatives were here. The patients
00:16:59are arriving nervous but quite
00:17:03contained at the moment, eh there is more blockage right now
00:17:28there have been protest concentrations against the Spanish executive due to the accident, the Falange and other groups have called the largest in front of the Ministry of
00:17:32Transport, there have been police charges that have dispersed
00:17:35the demonstrators.
00:17:44the Urda accident has completely turned the electoral campaign for October 29
00:17:48around. The PP has joined the condolences, but at the same time demands explanations for what is happening
00:17:52with high-speed rail and attacks the Spanish government. Most events
00:17:55have been suspended, Vox is the one that has broken this
00:17:58consensus.
00:18:00Spain has the right to know what is happening with its
00:18:04infrastructures, in what state they are. the
00:18:08tracks and safety systems and what
00:18:11warnings were received from Adamuz and what measures were
00:18:15adopted, Spaniards have the right to a
00:18:18complete, independent review of the entire railway
00:18:21network, it is now unavoidable and Spaniards
00:18:25have the right to an accountability for every euro, what
00:18:29was announced and what was actually executed, what
00:18:32was received and how it was spent,
00:18:35I guarantee that everything is
00:18:40At 8 p.m. there was the first institutional display of mourning with a minute
00:18:44of silence in different municipalities in Barcelona it was held in Plaça de Sant
00:18:47Jaume with the President of the Generalitat, the President of the Parliament and the Mayor
00:18:51of Barcelona, Salvador Illa has declared three days of mourning and the government's
00:18:54agenda is reduced to essential activity. In Lleida,
00:18:58the concentration was held in Plaça de la Paeria, presided over by Mayor
00:19:01Fèlix La Rosa accompanied by other politicians such as the Minister
00:19:05of Agriculture Óscar Ordeig. It is in the middle
00:19:08of the Sant Narcís fairs, but the city stopped at
00:19:128 p.m. in respectful silence for the Toledo
00:19:15accident. Mayor Llux Salellas and the councillors
00:19:19participated along with the councillor and spokesperson Silvia Penec.
00:19:22And in Tarragona, the scene was repeated in
00:19:26flags are already at half mast. The concentration was headed by
00:19:30Mayor Rubén Viñuales with councillors and members of all municipal
00:19:33groups. The president of the PP in Catalonia, Alejandro
00:19:37Fernández, was also there.
00:19:42We also add that the railway workers' union SEMF, which is the majority one, has decided
00:19:46to maintain the 24-hour strike called for this Thursday to
00:19:49demand more safety in the railway network. The strike will affect
00:19:53all services, including high-speed and long-distance services of
00:19:56Renfe. The government expects it to be a complicated day for mobility
00:20:00and has already called an extraordinary meeting of the operational
00:20:03coordination center first thing in the morning, there are established
00:20:06minimum services. of 73%, but it is expected that the strike will have
00:20:11accident. Sema warns that it is studying more
00:20:14actions.
00:20:22Let's now address other important issues of this Wednesday, the Mossos admit
00:20:26concern about the call for blockos for October 31,
00:20:30Castanyada night, after the serious riots last Saturday in
00:20:33Barcelona. Councillor Perlón says that they are prepared to
00:20:37give... the best response to what she describes as a new
00:20:40violence.
00:20:43The police and political leadership of the Mossos describe the blockos
00:20:47riots in Barcelona as a situation never seen in Catalonia. for the
00:20:50level of violence, for the large number of minors involved, the
00:20:54way they were virally recruited through networks to
00:20:57carry out acts, we are facing a very different
00:21:01phenomenon of
00:21:04eh juvenile, a totally anomalous behavior that is the
00:21:07first time it has occurred, despite the
00:21:11the police and the chief commissioner have defended the operation.
00:21:15four days before, it was being monitored on networks with the information available
00:21:19the call was assessed with a risk level of two out of three and
00:21:22400 agents were deployed, the data dismantles
00:21:25this idea that has been tried to build according to which the Mossos
00:21:29were a bit on the sidelines,
00:21:32we recognize that no, eh, that
00:21:35they did not anticipate the degree of violence used
00:21:38by the participants, a justification that has not convinced
00:21:42Junts, which has demanded the resignation of the councillor, nor Esquerra, nor the
00:21:46PP, nor the far-right Vox that has taken advantage to criminalize
00:21:50foreign people, if it was so announced and so
00:21:53well known, why did it happen? This phenomenon being
00:21:56new cannot serve
00:21:57as an excuse
00:22:0323. more moderate have been the Commons and the CUP
00:22:07who ask to have all the answers pointing out that there has been a political
00:22:11instrumentalization of the case. possible or
00:22:15possible interests in these moments in Spain there
00:22:18is chaos, who do they think is
00:22:21behind the organization of these acts. This is a
00:22:24mystery still without an answer from the police,
00:22:28who admit, however, concern about the next
00:22:31call for Blockos Barcelona for this coming Saturday. Although they have said
00:22:35that they will put all means to prevent
00:22:42surrendering to the police for having murdered his ex-partner in an apartment in the
00:22:46Nou Barris district of Barcelona. In the morning, Mossos and firefighters received
00:22:50a call. Upon arriving at the building, they found the lifeless body of the woman with obvious
00:22:53signs of violence. Hours later, the perpetrator of the acts allegedly
00:22:57confessed in a police station of the Madrid municipal police.
00:23:00The Mossos have opened an investigation and the TCJ indicates that there was no
00:23:04prior complaint, if it is confirmed as a femicide this
00:23:08year 44 women will have been murdered by their partner or
00:23:11ex-partner.
00:23:21And in international news, the protagonist is Flavio Bolsonaro, from the United States
00:23:25where he has fled from justice, he has declared himself the true elected president
00:23:29of Brazil, he says that from Miami, he will lead
00:23:32the opposition and Trump has avoided
00:23:34commenting. Until he landed, the details of a journey
00:23:38through politically friendly countries and full of rumors
00:23:41were not clarified. The plane, a private jet, is
00:23:45Argentine, the crew too. Flavio Bolsonaro
00:23:49took it after... crossing the land border between Brazil and Argentina
00:23:52accompanied by his wife and his two daughters,
00:23:56the only stop in Ecuador. He has
00:23:59traveled with an Italian passport because he has dual nationality and the Brazilian one was
00:24:03canceled for him. They passed customs control with a visa
00:24:07that the State Department has guaranteed them, but of which it has not yet given
00:24:10details.
00:24:14And from these details, the level of involvement and support of the
00:24:18White House will depend. Will he stay with a tourist visa as his father did
00:24:22under the Biden administration, will he be granted permanent
00:24:25residency as Trump did with his brother Eduardo Bolsonaro who already
00:24:29lives in the United States, or even more, will he ask for
00:24:33and be granted political asylum? Donald Trump has never wanted to burn all bridges
00:24:37with Lula de Silva, but he says he has no problem welcoming another
00:24:40Bolsonaro, with whom he has always compared himself in terms of alleged
00:24:44political-judicial
00:24:45persecution.
00:24:58Bolsonaro's arrival impacts here in the middle of the electoral campaign and the
00:25:01Democrats have already used it to accuse Donald Trump
00:25:05of harboring a fugitive from justice while denying political asylum
00:25:09to people fleeing conflicts such as
00:25:20offers you this space.
00:27:47For now, few changes regarding the situation, although this anticyclone
00:27:51is moving further and further north, acting as a barrier to
00:27:54disturbances, but yes, for the weekend we will have the
00:27:57possibility of these winds from the sea to land.
00:28:01For now, Thursday with... a little cooler towards inland areas,
00:28:04also a bit colder towards the Pyrenees, still maintaining
00:28:08mildness along the coast, during the early morning and first
00:28:11hour of the morning, some drops may escape, grazing the
00:28:15coastal facade between the south of the Costa Brava, central coast, the north wind,
00:28:19tramontana and mistral at both ends and fog, again, this high
00:28:22humidity, this fog towards points in central Catalonia,
00:28:26north of the central plateau, fog that breaks up as the hours pass,
00:28:29towards the afternoon we will have these bands. of high and thin clouds that
00:28:33make the sky cloudier and the low clouds will be able to spread
00:28:37further along the coastal facade, all this with temperatures that will drop
00:28:41a little more, a couple of degrees, not everywhere the same, but yes, little by little
00:28:45this temperature would be normalizing for the season, still this
00:28:50the Ebro, some maximums can reach 24 or
00:28:5325 degrees, sun towards Valencia and instead more clouds towards
00:28:57the Balearic Islands still with this north wind between the Gulf of Lyon and the north of Mallorca and
00:29:01temperatures here also a... little lower, little by little with this
00:29:04normalization of the thermometer, high temperatures towards the
00:29:08south of the peninsula, maximum in Seville of 30 degrees, still some showers towards
00:29:12the area of Greece, but also the instability is low and
00:29:15the anticyclone continues to bring stable weather towards the
00:29:19center of the European continent for the coming days, Friday
00:29:23we would maintain a bit the same weather dynamics, but yes, towards the weekend
00:29:26we will have to be attentive to these precipitations that in principle would affect
00:29:30especially Valencia and the Balearic Islands.
00:29:32these moist winds from sea to land, but what we will also have
00:29:36here at home is this drop in temperature, you see that temperatures
00:29:40will even be a little below what would be normal for
00:29:43the season this Chestnut Festival weekend.
00:30:24The accident of two high- speed trains in Toledo leaves at least
00:30:2868 dead and about 180 injured, some very serious.
00:30:32The search teams will continue working in the coming hours. The Spanish
00:30:36government has decreed three days of mourning from this morning.
00:30:40The accident has occurred in the middle of the pre-campaign.
00:30:44And we will get to the bottom of it. And if there have been negligences, it
00:30:48will be known. And if there have been failures in the security
00:30:51system, they will be responded to with total
00:30:54forcefulness. An immediate governmental
00:30:57investigation is essential.
