01:30We are almost two weeks to those terrible earthquakes.
01:35Later in the show, we are going to talk about the round of 16 wonderful games today and tomorrow.
01:42But first information about the international help, the first flight covering humanitarian aid from China,
01:48arrived at Micatia Airport to support the recovery effort that's so important to international help, all the help they can
01:59get.
01:59Let me get you the last number.
02:01The test toll of Venezuela, a twin earthquake, surpassed 2,500, insured 16,740, families assisted 86,794, 856 buildings
02:18were damaged,
02:18as you can see in the picture we see from Venezuela.
02:22Let's go to Hernán Tobar. Hernán is in La Guaira.
02:26Hernán, good afternoon. What's the situation right now?
03:00There are two fronts.
03:07Between earthquakes, past the last June 24, these refugees are even all fighting for food services,
03:21all the facilities, medical services, and recreational services, and different organizations
03:31of the state have been present in these transitory fields.
03:37But I want you to know, to one of the coordinators of this temporary field,
03:47who is attentive to all the development of this attention, his name is Braul Urbina.
03:58Tell us, which institutions are present over here, and what's the intention of the state institution for this?
04:08Well, at first, I greet for everybody, and we have received a lot of support in this case.
04:19This institution, La Gran Colombia, we have been receiving support and the coordinator of the supportive attention.
04:28This is composed by 612 persons and families that are receiving information, attention over here,
04:43medical services, facilities, psychology services for all the children, their families.
04:54It's not easy for anyone. We have been receiving support, collaboration about the Transportation Institute in Venezuela and others.
05:10We have been receiving 50 persons over here, not part of this institute, but others adding to here from their
05:19families.
05:20We have been searching this information to share for other families just to have decomposed.
05:30And let me explain to the audience, this big scholar complex has composed by Colombia, Peru, Bolivia.
05:46Let me ask you, there has been any addition of other people here for this logistic organization,
05:56and other from La Huayra for the rescue bodies that are recovering the dead ones there.
06:10And while they are recovering, they have been receiving support.
06:15There's any other from the last hours?
06:18Yes, we have been receiving other 50 families receiving medical services and psychologists' attention.
06:29And they are receiving training for the job recreational services.
06:36They are giving donations. They are giving donations for diapers, food, medicines, and treatment.
06:47They have been receiving an immediate reply to this.
06:54We have been receiving support.
06:59We have been receiving support from the bottom of our hearts.
07:03And some minutes ago, as you can see, there has been a lot of recognition funds.
07:13As you remember, there are four institutions in one.
07:19It could be Bolivar, Colombia, and others.
07:24They are in person.
07:25We are waiting for all the families that are on their way to here.
07:30They have been receiving a wonderful attention here with us.
07:35Thank you for all the information for your attention here.
07:42A part of this team that has been solidarity with all the presence of the state institution,
07:51not only with the job, but with all of them to give the accompaniment and support to anyone
08:01who is victim of this tragedy.
08:03They have been outside of security and distribute the person to canalize the attention, medical,
08:11for food, for psychological attention.
08:16They have been developing a very big, important attention just to accompany these families
08:24and give a reply for all the needs.
08:28A very organized temporary feel.
08:32The person or other people could get refuge for anything they need for everybody that come into this place.
08:43There are a lot of insurance to other people that receive the facilities to clean up and
08:54hygienize or sanitize.
08:57They need for just to slide all the trouble they are passing on to.
09:11This support is very organized.
09:14All the institutions from the state are giving the support to the affected ones for these two airquests passing
09:27the last June 24th.
09:30We are sitting with this information from this and La Guaira.
09:37Hernán Tobar, thank you very much for that information.
09:41It's so important what Hernán was telling us because I was watching Miami media.
09:46Miami media go to the earthquake.
09:49They went there to create problems, to do a political intention, a coverage.
09:54Now they are leaving.
09:55They are going back to Miami.
09:58They are leaving those people working, those people trying to help.
10:02They need help.
10:04And Miami are saying now it's going to be the problem because our cameras are not going to be in
10:08La Guaira.
10:09Telesur cameras are going to be in La Guaira until we can work with them, help them.
10:14And that's important.
10:16Thank you Hernán Tobar.
10:17And solidarity all over the world is still pouring to Venezuelan people.
10:22Let's start with Joe Paolo.
10:26Joe Paolo is a player of Cabo Verde.
10:30And that's what he has to say about the Venezuelan situation.
10:46He's a famous player, but not only famous players.
10:50Also, normal people, people like you, people like me, have a good sign of solidarity.
10:56We have people now from Brazil, Paraguay and the USA.
11:02Let's listen to them.
11:04For the people of Venezuela, remember that they are not alone.
11:07All Latin America, all America, we are united to support them.
11:11And with confidence that they will come out of this and will be the prosperous country that they were always
11:15been.
11:16For Venezuela, to the Venezuelan brothers, I want to send a very warm hug of strength.
11:22And that they know that we are all aware of them.
11:26And we will always be with the disposition of helping.
11:28And that they are all sharp, that you did not see it through.
11:35And that we are all brave and that we all are going forward like Latin American people.
11:40We are a lot of strength.
11:41And love for you.
11:43Well, the truth is that for Venezuela I can tell you that there is a lot of strength, a lot
11:49of blessing,
11:50especially that faith that they are having, to all the people who managed to survive and who also lost their
11:56families,
11:58that God can give them that protection and that they can get up very soon.
12:02Guys, I have a message for the people from Venezuela. I have a few weeks ago, I passed three months,
12:09I have been in the region of Ilhanes, and this message goes to all the companions,
12:14which I have had the pleasure of knowing, able to speak with all of them, thank God.
12:20And I send this message from the MST Pernambuco to this people so guerrido that is the Venezuelan,
12:26which is in the fight after a catastrophe like this, that we lost many companions,
12:31and there is still a lot of solidarity from the MST Pernambuco-Brasil to the Venezuelan people.
12:40I am here to give my solidarity to the Bolivarian people, to the Venezuelan people,
12:46which is a great country that has always been a partner of the Brazil.
12:49And in this moment of pain, we give our compliments and we are together.
12:55Viva a Bolivarian Revolution!
12:56.
13:00Remember, that's the hashtag we are using on social media.
13:04Let's do a short break.
13:05When we come back we are going to talk about the World Cup,
13:08but let's leave you with the image of Two Segment, a goal for Venezuela.
13:36For the kids in Venezuela
13:44For the kids in Venezuela
14:27For the kids in Venezuela
14:44Thank you very much
14:44Portugal and Portugal home
14:46It was really emotional to see
14:48Ronaldo
14:50He didn't have a great match
14:52But he was crying
14:53He said that this is going to be
14:55His last World Cup
14:58And of course he is a legend
15:00You can like him or dislike him
15:03But you cannot argue
15:05That he is one of the best players
15:07In the world
15:09Costas
15:09The Portuguese goalkeeper
15:12Was one of the stars
15:14Stopped many goals
15:15But he was very close
15:16Back and forth
15:18Until this goal at the last minute
15:20That sent Spain to the next round
15:24And Portugal
15:26Sent them home
15:27And saying goodbye
15:28To Ronaldo
15:29We have one more match today
15:31Of the round of 16
15:33That will be a match
15:34That has a lot going on

15:37The match is going to be
15:39Against USA
15:40Against Beijing
15:41You know what's happened
15:43With the red card
15:43The American player
15:44But we are going to talk
15:45About later
15:46Even Donald Trump
15:47Was involved
15:48In Infantino
15:49And people are really upset
15:51I tell you the reason
15:52What's happened
15:53With Polarín Bologna
15:55And his red card
15:56That was overruled
15:58By FIFA
15:58Later
16:00But right now
16:02I think we have
16:04Communication with Spain
16:06Alvaro Fragua
16:07Is here with us
16:08Alvaro
16:09I imagine people are
16:10Celebrating Spain

18:11to be for the coach has been increasing the skills they had lamin jamal another promise
18:23but it was a very good players without the tiki taka that has been in depression now now they
18:34are giving all day force and other funds has been very trustful with the with this team with la roja
18:44and that has been very attentive with this play is a very it could be to have the penalty time

19:17they have a big chance to go all the way two weeks going to be the final and it's going
19:22to be played in new jersey
19:23new jersey last night played also brazil and it was a really sad day yesterday for latin america
19:31two of the our teams brazil and mexico say goodbye to the world cup we were watching ronaldo crying yesterday

19:50and
19:51norway at med live stadium where like i said before he's going to play the final he represented
19:58that's amazing about brazil and they have to analyze what's going on with them they brought a coach not
20:04from brazil angelotti's from europe and they didn't work fine he represent the fifth time since the
20:10last world cup title that was in 2002 that brazil have failed to even reach the semi-final
20:18and that's a problem for brazil and they have to rebuild the whole team but talking about
20:25the halen we see him over there celebrating he scored two goals and he has a big possibility even
20:31there is a lot of competition to get the golden boot the guy who's going to score more goals in
20:39a
20:39world cup let's see so far what's the who's in first place and who is second we have a graphic
20:46we prepare for you and haaland is a first place he has seven goals scoring this world cup the same
20:56amount

21:14so at leonard messi killiam bappé hallan herry kane and dembélé the five of them still playing their
21:23teams and they have a chance to of course score much much work let's talk about last night i had
21:31a chance to be at the aztec stadium
21:35it was something really impressive the way that mexican people support the team was really really loud
21:42the stadium was full capacity eighty thousand and some coins and it was very close match
21:52uh mexico play against a very strong team a team that has players that make much more money than the
22:01mexican
22:01team they were playing face to face face to play was a fantastic game but the situation was complicated
22:10because jude bellington power england passed mexico into the quarterfinal
22:17absolutely it was the first match the best match for for england and it didn't have mexico even they were
22:28trying to
22:29to tie the game it was 3-2 and they were england playing with ten men but they couldn't do
22:37it even though it's important to say
22:40that the whole stadium was supporting i was showing to be very proud of this team i have the chance

23:51England played against Argentina, and he said we are going step by step.
23:55First, we have to play Norway, and if we win,
23:58then we are going to worry about who we have to play in the semifinal.
24:03Let's go with Charlie.
24:04Charlie has more reaction about that game.
24:07He was there, and he has a chance to interview the Mexican goalkeeper
24:11and also some fans.
24:12Let's listen to Charlie.
24:14Charlie, go ahead.
24:17Hey, Carlos, how are you?
24:19Yesterday, one of the three co-hosts of the World Cup had to say goodbye
24:24because in the Estadio Azteca, in front of more than 80,000 fans,
24:30Mexico fell to England 3-2.
24:34In the group stages, Mexico hadn't received a single goal,
24:39but within the span of just one minute and a half,
24:44Jude Bellingham scored two goals against the Mexican side.
24:49Mexico wanted to qualify to quarterfinals for the first time since 1986,
24:53but they couldn't do it against the European side.
24:57After the game, Aguirre, the Mexican coach,
25:01took a step to the side and said thank you to all the fans.
25:07Rafael Marquez, the ex-Barcelona defender,
25:12will be the new Mexican coach.
25:16Before we left the stadium last night,
25:20I had the chance to talk with the Mexican goalkeeper
25:24and this is what he had to say.
25:26¿Qué les dijo el Vasco ahora en el vestuario?
25:29Que estaba muy orgulloso del equipo.
25:32Yo no podía reprochar nada a nadie
25:33y creo que son las mismas palabras que yo utilizaría con este grupo
25:38que la verdad fue un grupo muy...
25:41que se comportó a la altura.
25:43Obviamente hay cosas por mejorar,
25:45pero yo creo que esto va para...
25:47pinta para algo muy bueno a futuro.
25:49¿Mensaje para el hinchado mexicano?
25:52Muchas gracias por el apoyo.
25:54De todo corazón se los digo
25:55y que esperan en cosas grandes de esta selección.
25:59Permiso.
26:01He's very right.
26:02Mexico had a very great tournament
26:04and the Mexican fans were with them the whole time.
26:08But let's not forget, the show must go on
26:12and the third co-host of this World Cup USA
26:17will play against Belgium.
26:19IS fans here in Mexico City
26:21who they think will win.
26:23This is what they had to say.
26:24I think Belgium like 2-0.
26:28Belgium 4-0.
26:304-0 because USA is not a good play,
26:35a good team.
26:37I think Belgium like 2-1.
26:41USA 2-0 and Belgium 0.
26:46I want to say Belgium.
26:48I think they're going to win 2-0.
26:50Where do you have it, Carlos?
26:52I think it'll be a very tough game.
26:54I'm not sure who will win,
26:55but I think considering the circumstances,
26:59USA will probably win maybe 2-0 or 2-1.
27:04Back to you, Carlos.
27:07Thank you, Charlie.
27:08Charlie was saying considering the circumstances,
27:11I'm sure you know the circumstances.
27:13Folarin Bologna, the striker from the USA,
27:16got a red card in the match against Bosnia.
27:20So he couldn't play today against Belgium.
27:23But Gian Infantino said this morning
27:26that he overruled that red card
27:28so that he's going to let the striker
27:30play the match against Belgium.
27:34Donald Trump, later he said
27:36that he talked to Gian Infantino
27:38and he told him that it was unfair
27:41that they have to reverse the red card
27:44and that's what Gian Infantino did.
27:48So that the striker is going to play against Belgium.
27:50Of course, the Belgian Federation,
27:52football Federation, is really upset.
27:54They tried to change that decision of FIFA.
27:57FIFA said, no, we already made the decision
27:59and that's something illegal.
28:02The coach of the USA, Pochettino, said,
28:05no, it wasn't a red card,
28:06so I'm glad they reversed that.
28:09But people are really upset
28:11because that's not right.
28:12But what's happened,
28:13let's go to know the details.
28:14How was the red card
28:16and why they can't reverse that situation.
28:19Let's see the story.
28:22Football is often described
28:23as the world's most universal sport,
28:25governed by one set of rules
28:27for every player and every nation.
28:29But FIFA's latest disciplinary decision
28:31has left many asking
28:32whether those rules apply equally to everyone.
28:35After being shown a straight red card
28:36against Bosnia and Herzegovina,
28:38U.S. striker Fulleran Balogun
28:40appeared set to serve
28:41the automatic one-match suspension
28:43required under FIFA's disciplinary regulations.
28:46Instead, only hours before the United States
28:48faced Belgium in the round of 16,
28:51FIFA announced that while the red card
28:52would remain on Balogun's record,
28:54the suspension itself would be placed on probation
28:57allowing him to play.
28:58Legally, FIFA says its disciplinary code
29:00gives its judicial body's discretion
29:02to suspend sanctions
29:03in exceptional circumstances.
29:05The controversy is not simply about
29:07whether that authority exists.
29:09It is about why it was exercised
29:11in one of the tournament's highest profile matches
29:13involving the host nation.
29:15Belgium immediately condemned the ruling,
29:17calling it astonishing
29:18and challenging Balogun's eligibility.
29:21UEFA also delivered
29:22an unusually sharp rebuke,
29:24describing the decision as unprecedented
29:26and difficult to justify.
29:28The widespread criticism
29:29reflects broader concerns
29:30that consistency,
29:31one of the foundations of sporting justice,
29:33has been compromised.
29:35Adding another layer to the controversy
29:36were comments from U.S. President Donald Trump,
29:39who acknowledged contacting FIFA President
29:41Gianni Infantino
29:42after Balogun's dismissal
29:44and urging that the incident be reviewed.
29:46The timing has fueled complaints
29:48over the weight of political access,
29:50as many argue that if a smaller football nation
29:52had been in the same position,
29:54an automatic suspension
29:55would almost certainly
29:56have been enforced without debate.
29:57When rules appear flexible
29:59only in exceptional high-profile cases,
30:02confidence in the principle of equal treatment
30:04inevitably comes under scrutiny.
30:06Whether the U.S. wins or loses
30:08against Belgium,
30:09the controversy surrounding Balogun's eligibility
30:11is likely to outlast the match itself.
30:14The debate has become
30:15about something larger
30:16than a single red card.
30:18It is about trust in the institutions
30:20that govern the world's most popular sport
30:22and whether justice on the football field
30:24is seen to be as impartial
30:26as the game itself demands.
30:28I don't know.
30:29It's a little bit like a corruption.
30:32I think it was not fair for Balogun.
30:39So they are probably going to win.
30:43I think it's a very polemic situation
30:45and I think the red card should not have been removed.
30:51It's a very injustice
30:52because it's not the same role for all teams.
30:59I don't know.
31:00It's kind of disappointing
31:00because it's not equal for all.
31:04When some politicians
31:07make some decisions in the sport,
31:09I don't like that.
31:11It's like no part of the game.
31:15I don't respect that decision.
31:20I think nobody respect that decision.
31:23Let's see what's happened on the field
31:24in that match between USA and Belgium.
31:28That's all for today.
31:30Have a wonderful evening.
31:32See you tomorrow.
31:33Bye-bye.
31:39Bye-bye.
31:40Bye-bye.
31:49You
