1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:10.880
The news of noon in mornings blues
and much attention because we started this newsletter

2
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:17.280
of noon with news from the Ministry
of Labor, because the Ministry announced a

3
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:23.039
labor inspection to the company General Motors
Colombia after the announcement of the closure of

4
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.199
its plant in the country. They
leave in the engine and close the plant

5
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.280
in Colombia. Of course, several
of the employees of the company Marcela Peña

6
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:33.200
have already been sent a letter of
dismissal. This morning, the giant of

7
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.479
the automotive sector, General Motors announced
the closure of its plan. It will

8
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:42.240
assemble vehicles in Colombia of Colmotores.
That would involve the dress of about eight

9
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.520
hundred workers of the company and that
is why the Ministry of Labour is announcing

10
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.479
that it will visit the plant,
it will review the working conditions in which

11
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.399
the workers are found, but it
will also empty the company and the unions

12
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:02.200
to have a social dialogue table the
work. He says he will be responsible

13
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.599
for ensuring due process in the process
that now follows, which is the company

14
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.560
' s application for a permit for
the collective destination of all these workers.

15
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.239
For his part, Deputy Minister of
Labour, Edwing Palma, is a call

16
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.519
for calm. He said this is
a process that just started and asked the

17
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:26.079
company not to force or pressure workers
to accept voluntary retirement plans. Marcela thanks

18
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.400
to this situation and this announcement by
General Motors, which, obviously, when

19
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.640
closing the claudia plant, will fire
its workers and will have to enter into

20
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.599
negotiations with the Ministry of Labour.
It is not surprising because some important announcements

21
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.280
of the plant and of vehicle maquila
had been made a few years ago,

22
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.959
beginning with the Government. In our
country, look at General Motor had made

23
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.640
a very important bet with Colombia,
Colombia is a company that has been in

24
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:56.640
the country for sixty- eight years. In the Santos government they inaugurated a

25
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:00.359
plant of manufacture and prints of vehicles, for which to invest three hundred eighty

26
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.000
billion pesos. There was President Santos. Then, in the two thousand twenty

27
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.840
- two before the end of the
Duque Government, with the presence of President

28
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:14.120
Duque, they made an investment announcement
for fifty million dollars to modernize their plant

29
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:19.800
and in March last year they inaugurated
that extension of that plant. At that

30
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:24.000
inauguration was the then Minister of Transport
of the current Government, also the Minister

31
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:31.360
of Commerce. Well, there was
one of the superintendents and everything looked good.

32
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:37.520
Even the world president of General Motors
shipal Amin came and at that moment

33
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:44.000
he asked Colombia and the bet that
Colombia is making for renewable energies gives to

34
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.840
install that Colombia towards the first country
in Latin America where we install our plant

35
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:53.400
of production of electric vehicles. And
they answered yes, yes, because this

36
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.159
is a great bet of that government. Unfortunately, a year later, because

37
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.840
the calculations the company has made are
that Colombia not that place its plant that

38
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:07.120
they expanded last year is just waiting
or operating to nine percent. Therefore,

39
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.599
because Ahorita, are going to start
importing the vehicles that are going to market

40
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:15.800
in Colombia, from markets like Mexico, from plants that have in Mexico,

41
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:20.560
Brazil, the United States and even
China. Then a tragedy falls, because

42
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.479
there are a number of employees who, then, are going to see lawyers

43
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.199
now or, for the time being, to unemployment. Because you have the

44
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.000
ciphers. I know if marcela didn' t give them to how many employees

45
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.159
that plant in Llaneral Motors has that
that is shut down and advertised. I

46
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.080
don' t have the total number
of employees, but what I do have

47
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.639
is the number of employees jumping up
to eight hundred camela. I think there

48
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.439
' s a discussion about the Minister' s figures. He said six hundred.

49
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.919
General Motor is being told that five
hundred. But the truth is that

50
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:51.960
with the enlargement they did last year
they hired 300 people and among them many

51
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.840
apprentices from the Seine. These people
are therefore going to run out of work.

52
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.719
It' s what they' re
getting married, because the biggest news

53
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.120
is Great Camila and the question is
what' s going to happen with the

54
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.240
price of the vehicles if the plant
is closed here, in Colombia, it

55
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:09.439
will go down. That' s
another stoner you go There you have all

56
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:13.400
the import taxes, which obviously goes
up when you have the entry taxes.

57
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.040
But for now, waiting for what
the Ministry of Labour says, because there

58
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.600
begins the negotiation with the company that
announces its withdrawal from the country. And

59
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:27.480
we changed the subject, because they
were captured in Bogotá, thirteen dangerous criminals

60
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.839
who are part of the criminal gang
of Tren del Agua and another gang called

61
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.480
the Caucanos, gangs that sustain a
war for the control of drug revenues,

62
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:40.240
precisely in several neighborhoods of southern Bogotá. Felipe García was in various raids in

63
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:44.800
southern Bogotá and authorities captured thirteen criminals
belonging to the water train and the Caucanos,

64
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.519
two dangerous structures that sustain a violent
war for the control of drug trafficking

65
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.360
in Bogotá and that has led to
the murder in the last six hours alone

66
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:57.279
of six people, four of whom
appeared in abandoned bags in the middle of

67
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.879
the public road. This is what
the Subcomandante of the Bogotá police, colonel

68
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:08.240
Juan Areban, is talking about The
clarification of the loss of four lives,

69
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:13.680
which were found last weekend, is
highlighted. What these bodies are in four

70
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:18.759
bags and which are part of a
struggle between Caucasians and Aragua train. According

71
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:24.199
to the authorities, the Caucasians are
responsible for recruiting street dwellers whom they use

72
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:29.240
to market drugs on public roads.
Alias Guadaña, one of the captured and

73
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.399
Head of the gang was in charge
of extortions in the neighborhood of Amparo and

74
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.720
of even planning criminal actions against the
other groups, such as the Aragua Train,

75
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.639
to take control of the areas there
to the south of Bogotá, and

76
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:48.120
we go with some Venezuelan communities in
Colombia that obviously criticized, the measures or

77
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.319
migration policy that was announced by the
national government in a wrong way, because

78
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:59.360
the President already denied it mini.
The Chancellor, the manager, Luis Ilberto

79
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.279
Merillo, went out to say that
they were wrong, that they should not

80
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.720
have published that measure. But at
the moment, there are still immigrant organizations

81
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:13.920
that criticized the immigration policy that would
be adopted by the government of President Gustavo

82
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.639
Petro Miguel Garzón. The Juntos Foundation
may be dedicated to helping thousands of Venezuelan

83
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.800
migrants arriving in the country, saying
that the Colombian Government is backing back in

84
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:29.720
protecting the human rights of Venezuelan migrants. Director Anacarina García asks President Gustavo Petro

85
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:34.839
to separate diplomacy from the protection of
human rights. Our appeal to President Petro

86
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:41.319
and the Foreign Minister is that it
is important that migration policy be reviewed and

87
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.680
that we understand that migration policy cannot
go hand in hand with the restoration of

88
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.160
relations and geopolitical relations between the Government
of Colombia and the Government of Venezuela.

89
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.879
Let us understand that this is about
human rights. They also say from the

90
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.839
Foundation that this measure goes against UN
resolutions, thus contributing to the vulnerability of

91
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:03.879
migrants and strengthening illegal activities on the
border. We are now going to the

92
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:09.360
Constitutional Court, because that is where
the public hearing to ratify the Eskasu Agreement

93
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:14.800
and its law approving this action is
taking place, because it is intended to

94
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.160
reflect the concepts and arguments of the
national government of congressmen and environmental organizations.

95
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:23.680
Sergio Barros in the middle of this
hearing to ratify the Escaso Agreement, which

96
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:28.759
we recall, was signed by twenty- four Latin American countries under the slogan

97
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.639
of guaranteeing access to environmental rights and, in addition, protecting the integrity of

98
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:38.160
environmental activists. Senator Angélica Lozano said
the Ecasso Agreement can facilitate the integration of

99
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:45.480
major environmental challenges. Let us listen
to mechanisms such as the Escaso Agreement can

100
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:50.000
facilitate the integration and approach of major
environmental challenges in every sense, from the

101
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:55.079
Amazon or in cases such as fumigations
that have other elements, as well as

102
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.000
human action and, in this case, criminal action. In the midst of

103
00:07:58.079 --> 00:08:03.319
her intervention, the Minister of Environment
said with concern that this agreement seeks the

104
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.000
protection of environmental activists and said strongly
that Latin America is one of the continents

105
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:13.079
with the greatest threats to environmental leaders. Let us listen to the State must

106
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.519
guarantee human rights in economic activity.
What it brings is the case, we

107
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.920
are one of the continents with the
greatest threats and murders to social leaders and

108
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.759
leaders who defend the environment or the
rights of the land. At this hearing

109
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.639
it is hoped to gather the testimonies
about the agreement of scarce, especially after

110
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.759
it was reiterated that Colombia is one
of the most dangerous countries in the world

111
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:41.559
to exercise leadership or defend environmental rights, according to several international reports. Thank

112
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.120
you, Sergio, we' re
following with him the health news now because

113
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.679
the latest version of the modern vaccine
specifically designed to combat the mutations of covid

114
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.159
nineteen came to Colombia. The country
has received more than a million doses of

115
00:08:54.159 --> 00:09:00.360
this vaccine. Jessica Gutierrez. The
fundamental purpose of this update is to confront

116
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.399
circulating variants of the virus covid nineteen
that have proven to evade immunity generated by

117
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.759
previous vaccines. The most advanced and
modern vaccine is presented as an essential tool

118
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.480
in the continuous battle against the pandemic, reinforcing the protection of the Colombian population

119
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:22.279
and is specifically designed to counteract the
sub variant x BB one five in the

120
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.080
most relevant strains of the virus.
This vaccine provides protection for people over six

121
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.360
months of age and can be given
simultaneously with other immunization plan vaccines. The

122
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.480
former mayor of the municipality of Río
Blanco in El Torimar, Isabel Barbosa,

123
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:41.559
was sent to prison for allegedly handing
over money, medicines, communications equipment to

124
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:45.279
the disidencias of the Farsu captures took
place in Bogotá. It must be said

125
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.840
that this mayor was working with a
representative of the Liberal Party House. With

126
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.440
this banker the criminal acts involving Elizabeth
Barbosa, current member of the legislative work

127
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.399
unit, from the representative to the
Liberal Party Chamber, the department of Tolima

128
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:05.080
Olga Beatriz González are related when she
was president of Rio Blanco Tolima between two

129
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.480
thousand twenty and two thousand twenty-
three. At that time, through the

130
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.679
intermediary Archimedes Martínez Díaz, who was
former president of a communal action board in

131
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.840
the vera was Campo Blanco, would
have made these members of the Ismael Ruiz

132
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:24.279
front money, medicines and communication equipment. This is what the prosecutor revealed during

133
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.440
the hearing. You were in charge
of directly providing that support. It is

134
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.840
residual structure and as mayor who,
being in use of her functions as a

135
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:39.639
public servant, simultaneously, would maintain
a criminal link with Mr Aliz Capotillo,

136
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.799
apotoo Capote conle Mr Archimedes Martínez Díaz
and with other people. The former mayor

137
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.240
was captured in Bogotá in a joint
action with the national police, and while

138
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.840
Martínez Díaz was arrested on chaparral To
Lima, both face charges for the crime

139
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.480
of a concert to commit a crime, although they did not accept the charges.

140
00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.080
We are now leaving for Bucaramanga,
because there is concern in the house

141
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.600
of the capital of Santander Ariana about
the increase in cases of hit man.

142
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.480
The last incident occurred when armed men
killed the owner of a Javier Rodríguez bar.

143
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.720
There is a commotion in Bucaramanga over
a new hit that left the owner

144
00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.879
of a dead bar in the center
of this city. Christian Gabriel Lozano,

145
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.720
forty- four years old, spoke
on the phone when he was shot by

146
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:24.320
motorists when he was in front of
the torile business. Three blocks away from

147
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.159
this crime, the murder of the
autoparte trader, Juan Carlos Casanova, occurred.

148
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.000
Two days ago. The authorities investigate, if they have any connection,

149
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:39.799
Colonel Diego Fernando Pisón of the Metropolitan
Police reports the shootings. We immediately explain

150
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.120
the padlock plan, we do the
active one, being enchanted in the environments

151
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:48.159
in the universes amounts of the city. In Bucaramanga, this year there are

152
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.200
forty- three homicides, most of
them under the type of hit man.

153
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:58.240
The same number of dead people has
the international news in the world at this

154
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.240
moment. Donald trumpa returned to trial
or prison in New York, where he

155
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.919
is tried for falsifying accounting documents to
hide compromising news, this in the middle

156
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.840
of a campaign to win the presidency, including paying for the silence of his

157
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.960
relationship with actress Porno stormy Daniels.
But there is a testimony that caught a

158
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.960
lot of attention today, that of
David Packer, who was editor of the

159
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:24.039
sensationalist newspaper Nationaren Qier, assured under
oath that he protected Trump in a practice

160
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.200
that the American press calls to catch
and kill what this means. He bought

161
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:33.600
the news that could harm Trump and
have the exclusive and confidentiality of those who

162
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.840
sold them, as they were not
published. He gave an example of the

163
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.639
playboy Karen Macdougal model, to which
the National at Qiteer paid$ 150,

164
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.039
000 for his story about an alleged
sexual relationship he would have had with Donald

165
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.679
Trump. To hide it. We
bought the story so it wouldn' t

166
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.039
be published by any other means.
He recognized Pecker to the D A.

167
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.480
So the first week of the trial
against Donald RuMP in New York is closed

168
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.840
and there are still about two or
three more weeks to go. The sports

169
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.679
news. The sports news comes from
Switzerland. In Oron, the third stage

170
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.279
of the Tour de Romandía ran,

171
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.399
the American Brandon mcdulty of the WAETIM, which completed the tour in twenty minutes

172
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:18.360
six seconds. The best Colombian of
the day was Harold Tejada, who reached

173
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.519
forty- six seconds of the winner
on his part, Gan Bernal was uncomfortable

174
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.200
in the first half of the tour, recomposed in the other half and finally

175
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.399

of the leader. As for the general,

176
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.480

178
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.000

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.360

moving day in the general standings, as

180
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.799

two out- of- class ports,

182
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:56.960
two third- category ports and a
second category port. The main trends in

00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.440
