00:00I'm going to do the bread.
00:02He said to sell the juice if he didn't kill me.
00:05Yes, if you do the fart.
00:10I'm Jorge Lombosilla.
00:14I'm going to file a complaint because he grabbed me with a knife.
00:19Tell him to come here, please.
00:22Well, this is the video that was recorded by the person who observed this situation.
00:27A situation that seems to be quite marginal.
00:31A man, as you said, Cristian, 49 years old.
00:34And on the other hand, the word of the governor of the province of Río Negro
00:40who spoke that it was not a negligence, but that it was, in this case, a criminal act.
00:46And that video that shows the man, as you pointed out, Cristian,
00:51in a situation where he says, I turn it off, I burn everything.
00:56We have to see how far the provincial authorities want to go
00:59within the framework of what is happening right now in Patagonia.
01:02Part of Patagonia is burning, 25,000 hectares are under fire
01:07or the fire has already passed through them, affecting all the flora and fauna
01:11of our Argentine Patagonia.
01:13But Governor Alberto Beretilnec, who is the governor of Río Negro,
01:16said a rather controversial phrase.
01:18He said, the one who provokes fire will pay the consequences.
01:21That is, the issue is, why was this fire provoking this 49-year-old man?
01:25In what circumstances? In what context?
01:27Why does this situation take public state?
01:29As you said, it is a situation, at least marginal, that we are observing.
01:33Absolutely, and this is something that, well, we will have to elucidate.
01:36And of course it is very, very important that we get to the last consequences
01:41and that there is no impunity regarding this.
01:43But obviously it is important to deal with the real culprits.
01:46We are working live from the area.
01:49There is Carla Chiaradini. Carla, good afternoon.
01:51What else is known about the arrests?
01:56Well, Lu, the reality is that, as you said, this video has gone viral,
02:01also in the circumstances that this man is in.
02:05And also, as the governor said, it is something that cannot happen
02:11right now and it is a criminal act, as Alberto Beretilnec also said.
02:17Let's see, Arrien, the prosecutor, is being held at the moment
02:23to also start investigating.
02:25As we know, there is another detainee as well,
02:30who was also detained for a month,
02:33because they are going to extend this investigation for four more months
02:37to see if they release him or not.
02:40There are two other people who were released.
02:44We are talking about the three people who were found last Wednesday.
02:48Two of them were released.
02:50One, do you remember, was the one who was dressed as an operative,
02:55as a brigadier.
02:56Well, he also explained to the media that he had received this uniform
03:02in solidarity.
03:06So, he was dismissed.
03:08Yes, one of these three was just detained, as I was saying.
03:12And in these days, just before yesterday,
03:15two women were found walking through the hole area,
03:19which is a very close area to what is, let's say, the Bolson,
03:24very close.
03:26In that place, two women were also found with items
03:30that are now available to the justice system.
03:33And well, let's see, in these days,
03:35it will be seen, according to the investigation,
03:37what he throws.
03:38The truth is that this video of this person...
03:41Of course, because I also understand you, Carla,
03:44well, of course, you have direct contact with the place,
03:47but talking to people in the area,
03:50what they say is that now the neighbors, many neighbors,
03:55or people who live there in the place,
03:57and even people who approach the area,
04:00which is not exactly there,
04:02but they do live in the Andean region,
04:04they are afraid to approach, precisely,
04:07to help, to collaborate as volunteers.
04:10For fear of unrelated arrests,
04:14or where they have no responsibility, understand?
04:17That is, fear of going to help for being arrested, specifically.
04:23Yes, yes, the truth is that everything is lived...
04:26A lot of confusion.
04:28A complicated moment, right?
04:29There are 150 families, of course,
04:31a lot of confusion, a lot of sadness,
04:33a lot of concern, and also a lot of desolation, right?
04:37Because there are 150 families who have lost their homes.
04:40Apparently, two more homes, also yesterday,
04:44in this fire that had no mercy all night,
04:48that did not leave the firefighters a break, right?
04:51Two more homes would have been reached,
04:54this is to be confirmed.
04:56For now, it would not have crossed the other part,
05:00what is the Blue River.
05:02Although the hidden waterfall and many of these places,
05:06these cities, not cities, sorry,
05:08these towns, so to speak,
05:11these places that we point out as the lake,
05:14sorry, the hidden waterfall, Dona Rosa,
05:17well, there are different places that when one goes,
05:20on the way along Route 40,
05:21you find these different places,
05:23which are called in different ways,
05:25they had been evacuated preventively.
05:28The truth is that, let's see,
05:30at the time, some of the people were able to return home.
05:35But, right?
05:36But with a lot of prevention,
05:38because tomorrow is the key day.
05:42Tomorrow is the key day,
05:43and they were also saying this,
05:45not only the lieutenant, but the governor,
05:47so that people had precaution
05:49and took different measures to take care of themselves.
05:51Now, sorry, Carla, how are you?
05:52Cristian Balboa is talking to you.
05:53I was also listening to you this morning,
05:55live on Saturday,
05:56that you were talking about gusts of wind
05:58that reach 90 kilometers per hour,
06:00that that does not help,
06:01today a little less wind,
06:02Luciana, according to what we were able to find out,
06:05then Miriam Andrioli will give us more details
06:07of the climatic conditions in that area.
06:09There are five fires in three provinces,
06:12in three affected provinces,
06:14not only Rio Negro,
06:15but also Neuquén and Chubut.
06:18But my question is the following,
06:19today I heard,
06:20I say to see if we have to get even more alarmed or not,
06:23that the fire could reach the urban center of El Bolsón.
06:26Is this true?
06:27Is the fire at the city gates?
06:33The reality, Cristian, look,
06:35at this time, no,
06:36at this time, no,
06:37the fire is far from what is the city and what is the city,
06:41that is, not to alarm people either,
06:43who are even entering,
06:45many people are also on vacation.
06:48You know that the reality,
06:50unfortunately,
06:51this city here in Rio Negro has also suffered from tourism,
06:56because, well, obviously,
06:57with these conditions,
06:58many people returned to their homes,
07:02but the truth is that it is not in the center of the city.
07:05Well, this is a good clarification.
07:07Excellent clarification.
07:08Yes, it is 15 kilometers away,
07:12less, less,
07:13sorry,
07:14sorry for the people of El Bolsón,
07:15it is less than a kilometer from the center.
07:18It is very close,
07:20but the reality is that the fire was more on the side of the hill,
07:23that is, now,
07:24because of what is the center of the city,
07:27it would be far,
07:28so also this of transmitting tranquility to many people,
07:31yes,
07:32it was obviously seen from the city,
07:35a tremendous haze,
07:37yes,
07:38many people from the city,
07:39obviously,
07:40when they see this,
07:41they worry,
07:42and obviously,
07:43it is fear,
07:44no,
07:45but we are far from this happening for now,
07:47not like that,
07:48in others,
07:49let's see,
07:50in other sectors close to what is the city,
07:53there would be the fire,
07:55that is,
07:56Maginahogado,
07:57which is the hidden waterfall,
07:59that is,
08:00these are places a little further away than the concentric farms.
08:03But where,
08:04as you said,
08:05Carla,
08:06there are houses,
08:07because there are farms,
08:08there are many fruit farms,
08:09red fruit farms,
08:10let's say,
08:11there are farms where families choose a rural life
08:15and they have precisely there or plantations or animals
08:19and they live precisely in this way,
08:21in a rural way,
08:22with their houses,
08:23with their farms,
08:24in which the risk is,
08:25no,
08:26of course,
08:27we always say it,
08:28nature is something that sensitizes or should sensitize us,
08:33but also,
08:34when there are houses,
08:35things take another dramatism.
08:37Carla,
08:38thank you very much,
08:39we will contact you again in a while.
08:40And you said,
08:41Cristian,
08:42this situation linked to time and winds,
08:45yesterday,
08:46yesterday afternoon,
08:47there was a strong gust,
08:49a large amount of wind that complicated things in that area,
08:53right, Miriam?
08:54Yes, that's right,
08:55and there are three provinces that are notoriously affected,
08:58we are talking about Chubut,
08:59Rio Negro and Neuquén.
09:01What is happening in meteorological matter at the moment?
09:03Well,
09:04the temperature,
09:05in reality,
09:06is not a risk factor,
09:08the temperature is there in the order of 27 degrees,
09:11the maximum temperature can be between 25 and 27.
09:15The problem is the dryness of the air,
09:18just 15% humidity.
09:21And added to all this,
09:23the strong winds that were blowing from the southwest sector.
09:26At the moment,
09:27the winds are in a tense calm,
09:30we can say,
09:31preparing,
09:32because it will happen tomorrow,
09:34well, tomorrow they will intensify notoriously,
09:37tomorrow winds of up to 80 km per hour are expected from the west sector
09:42over the entire affected area.
09:45So tomorrow is going to be a key day.
09:47Now, Miriam,
09:48there is a detail regarding the map that you are presenting,
09:51to be able to identify the focus,
09:53Luciana, Miriam,
09:54of fire that we have at the moment in our Patagonia,
09:57to dimension what is crossing this region of the country.
10:01Of course.
10:02In that particular map that Miriam shows us,
10:04about San Martín de los Andes,
10:06look, there are the winds that she is presenting us,
10:08about the town of San Martín de los Andes,
10:10there is the area,
10:11in these moments of fires,
10:13more serious,
10:14more serious in that area,
10:16in that area,
10:17which are approximately,
10:18from what I was able to find out,
10:20about 3,100 hectares that are on fire in that area,
10:25that is what Miriam marks us,
10:26up there.
10:27Then, below San Carlos de Bariloche,
10:29a little further south,
10:31there we have another important fire focus,
10:34where we are already talking about almost 8,000 hectares,
10:388,000 hectares that are on fire in these moments,
10:41in that area.
10:42And if we go down,
10:43we already have El Bolson,
10:45which is where we were just going out
10:47with our colleague Carla Charandini.
10:50That area also has more than 11,000 hectares
10:53that are on fire,
10:55which adds up to a total,
10:56Luciana,
10:57team of 25,000 hectares
10:59that are currently under fire.
11:02That is why we are going to have a special coverage in the week,
11:04from there,
11:05with a team from Grupo América.
11:07And look at this situation.
11:09Here we have some important details
11:12to consider
11:13Why do we say that Patagonia is on fire?
11:15Miriam, Luciana,
11:16because there is a fatal victim.
11:18A person lost their life
11:20in the framework of what these fires are in the south.
11:23We are talking about three provinces,
11:24we repeat, Neuquén,
11:25Río Negro
11:26and Chubut,
11:27affected by these fires.
11:2940 days of uncontrolled fire,
11:31and Miriam, correct me if this is not the case,
11:32but they have already announced
11:33that the fire focus can last
11:35until April.
11:36Exactly.
11:37Due to air pollution,
11:38which will continue to be maintained
11:40in the coming weeks.
11:42In addition,
11:43I add a little bit.
11:45You know that the fire
11:46that has broken out
11:47in these three provinces
11:48is so fierce
11:49that the smoke
11:50has reached the provinces of La Pampa
11:53and even the province of San Luis.
11:56This gives the idea
11:57of the great magnitude
11:58of these fires
11:59in the Patagonian area.
12:00That's why we say,
12:01Carla Charandini also explained it very well,
12:03from our Patagonia.
12:05150 houses destroyed completely,
12:09that is, they were made of ashes
12:11and the fire continues to advance.
12:14A thousand evacuees,
12:16and the number of evacuees
12:17is increasing.
12:18We repeat,
12:19these data are official.
12:21It is the information
12:22that those who are working
12:23in the place are handling.
12:25There are fire teams,
12:26there are hydroplanes.
12:27Of course,
12:28the provincial authorities
12:29are alert.
12:318,000 hectares
12:32in the Nahuatl National Park,
12:34which we just said,
12:35in the province of Río Negro.
12:361,600 hectares in Majin,
12:38also drowned
12:39in the province of Río Negro.
12:40That's why we just marked
12:41on the map,
12:42where Miriam is,
12:43she is marking us.
12:44Look at the area.
12:45The extension.
12:46Exactly,
12:47all that extension,
12:48from San Martín de los Andes,
12:50passing through San Carlos de Bariloche
12:52to El Bolsón.
12:53All that area
12:54that marks us,
12:55almost borders Chile,
12:57is burning at the moment,
12:59burning,
13:00losing our flora,
13:01our fauna,
13:02but most importantly,
13:03losing human lives
13:04and also losing homes.
13:07That is the area,
13:09that is the area,
13:10sorry,
13:11that is currently burning.
13:133,100 hectares
13:14in Epuyén,
13:15in Chubut,
13:16also,
13:17to take...
13:181,100 hectares
13:19in the Dr. Antigua
13:20and Río Negro,
13:21in the province of Chubut.
13:22And 1,000 hectares
13:23in the Lalin National Park.
13:28That's right,
13:29Lalin National Park
13:30is where,
13:31also there,
13:32ferocious fires
13:33have occurred
13:34in the last hours.
13:36It has affected
13:37the Magdalena Valley area,
13:39particularly,
13:40and it has also been asked,
13:42well,
13:43that some of the inhabitants
13:44who are there,
13:45in the area,
13:46in the nearest towns,
13:47think about evacuating
13:48their homes,
13:49because,
13:50precisely,
13:51because of the intense wind,
13:52precisely,
13:53the flames are advancing
13:54and spreading
13:55to different sectors
13:56that are already populated.
13:59A situation that
14:00becomes so dangerous,
14:02so dangerous,
14:03that it also adds,
14:04of course,
14:05the pain
14:06that causes
14:07the loss
14:08of so many
14:09natural forests
14:10that are there,
14:11native forests
14:12that have been lost
14:13forever,
14:14that we will have to wait
14:15hundreds of years
14:16for them to recover again.
