[00:02:01]Hello, how are you? Welcome to this live stream from detunota.com. Thank you for connecting with us. We are fully prepared to bring you the news as usual, including news of national interest and international news, of course, in this news space. Today is Tuesday, May 26, 2026. Thank you for connecting with us. We are completely live streaming digitally. Thank you for joining us, and well, I'm going to start with the top three news stories of the day. Comment, share this post, and of course, leave us a like on this live stream. And I'll start with the three main news stories of the day right away.

[00:02:51]Well, and among the top news stories, number one is that Honduras is experiencing a crisis of massacres. Today a new massacre has occurred in which four people have lost their lives, and with these homicide rates come high rates of impunity.

[00:03:10]We analyzed everything here in your article.

[00:03:16]The number of municipalities in the country under green alert for drought has reached 75. This news has shocked us, especially in certain departments that have a greater number of municipalities that will face the onslaught of this El Niño phenomenon. The analysis is here with us.

[00:03:38]And finally, the Public Prosecutor's Office has secured a resort with vehicles on the island of Roatán and is linked to the Delta Teams network, if you recall, to the Angi Peña case. All the details are below in your note.

[00:04:01]Okay, and let's begin with the development of today's news. There is a new massacre that is causing grief to the Honduran population, a new and terrible massacre that we have to report today, and you can see how this news unfolds, in what place. I know that we are interested in the topic, that the topic also worries us, and I'm going to show you a little of this contrast in the news. Look, three men and one woman have been murdered in the last few hours.

[00:04:34]This was in Lima, Cortés department. Four people in total in the Philadelphia neighborhood. In Lima Cortés, the police are investigating this multiple crime, and the victims are also drawing our attention. The victims have already been identified. They are Josely Gisel Guarro García, only 30 years old, Jorge Orlando Dubón González, 37 years old, Josué Noel Gómez, approximately 40 years old, and Christopher Yaret Suazo Vázquez, 18 years old.

[00:05:09]According to preliminary information, Gifarro García and Dubón González were found inside the same house, while the other two victims were in different houses, but in the same area.

[00:05:24]The series of investigations into this case begins, and from the police leadership and also the forensic medicine personnel, they say that the scene would have been developed by a struggle that I will tell you about here.

[00:05:43]They presume that this massacre is linked to a territorial issue or a territorial dispute as such. There have been preliminary reports from the authorities, but four of the victims had police and judicial records for micro-trafficking, that is, small portions or small versions of drug trafficking or narcotics trafficking.

[00:06:07]This has been revealed by the National Police authorities in the northern part of the country and has been revealed by spokesperson Dania Cruz. I'll show you that version too. from the people of the National Police. But with this massacre, the number of multiple homicides recorded in May alone, and only in the northern part of the country, has reached three. Of these reported violent events, the one on May 21st left a toll of 27 victims. That same day, in the Trujillo area, Colón department, another 20 people were murdered on an African Palm farm.

[00:06:51]In Corinto, in Umoa Cortés, seven deaths were recorded: five police officers and two civilians. And all this, look, has come in a terrible development for Honduras, terrible for Honduras, for our security, what image are we reflecting. And you can see how the analysis is done through our portal tunota.com of the number of deaths that have even occurred in this year 2026. And I'm going to read some of your comments because in Olanchito and Oro it all started on January 10th. In the first weeks of January, there were practically three deaths. Then in Maica Atlantis, five dead. In San Andrés Lempira, three more. In Progreso Lloro, four until March 12. Then in Sulaco Lloro, five.

[00:07:42]Danlí Elparaíso, three. Callo Rojo in the department of Olcho another five. San Pedro Zula Cortés three. Naca Valley three. There were three in Tegucigalpa on May 12.

[00:07:55]In Trujillo, 20 people died, which we even broadcast live. In Corinth, Cortés seven. And in Lima Cortés today, four more people. And we're not talking about numbers, we're talking about families. I'm going to start sharing with you this version from the National Police and what they reflect regarding the investigations of this specific case. So let's listen to what the authorities have to say.

[00:08:25]They talk about a dispute and present a little of what has happened, those details, those elements that have already advanced in the investigations. Yes, indeed, as an institution, we regret this violent event in which four people have lost their lives violently and others are in a care center under protection, and one was also injured as a result of this confrontation. According to preliminary data held by the team assigned to conduct the corresponding inquiries and investigations into the four victims, one of them had a criminal and police record for micro-trafficking. According to some witnesses in the area, several heavily armed men arrived at three houses. The target was three homes and without saying a word they attacked the humanity of these people, taking their lives immediately. And as a result, one was taken immediately to a medical center. For this reason, the search continues for two vehicles, which are allegedly involved in this violent incident. One or two picots, one black, one gray, sorry, another white. These are mainly us; we'll have quite a bit of information when we find them.

[00:09:38]Likewise, fingerprints that will lead us to those responsible for these events. They are also checking some surveillance cameras that were in the area to maintain the characteristics of these men. They also described how they were dressed and the type of weapons they carried. So far we can say that this is a matter of drug trafficking, a fight or a territorial dispute, but future investigations will confirm whether it is drug trafficking or any other event related to this multiple death.

[00:10:14]It is confirmed that there were three men dead, one woman, and among those three men also an 18- year-old young man.

[00:10:20]Yes, we cannot release the names at this time. Remember that we, in a transparent manner and within the investigations, have to validate the names, the specific data, this through the autopsy of forensic medicine and subsequently also with their fingerprints and also in relation to the work with the national registry of persons, since it is a coordinated work that is maintained by the investigators of the National Police.

[00:10:46]Excellent. Many thanks to Inspector Dania Cruz of Communications.

[00:10:49]Well, this was earlier today.

[00:10:53]in the development of this news.

[00:10:56]I already gave you the updated names of the victims of this new massacre now in Lima, Cortés department. I'm going to continue with this development of this news because, look, the Guatemalan police have already begun investigations and have handed over a suspect in one of these massacres, specifically the one in Corinto in the department of Cortés. And I'm also going to show you how this news story unfolds because the cartel suspect who allegedly killed the police officers in this village in Corinth has been handed over. And the authorities say that the individual is involved in the incident, because after the incident occurred, he left the country for Guatemala to receive medical attention for a gunshot wound. This is what they have shared with us, and this was the moment a few minutes ago when the Guatemalan police handed over this individual suspected of having committed this criminal act. And I'll show you all the details of this information here in the development.

[00:12:12]Latest police news. They are already handing over to the Honduran authorities one of the alleged perpetrators of the fifth attempted murder of police officers in Corinto, OMO Cortés.

[00:12:32]We have these live images right now as he boards one of the National Police armored vehicles to be transferred under full custody with his respective nurse, since he was receiving medical attention because he was injured in the confrontation that ended the lives of five police officers and three other people allegedly linked to this gang of criminals who operated in Omoa. Journalist Jason Maldonado. Forward. He keeps framing it, framing it.

[00:13:17]That's right, colleagues and viewers of HRN The afternoon on TSI. At this moment we hear from Inspector Dania Cruz, who is talking about the capture of this individual linked to the death of the five members of Dipamco last week in Omoa Corté, in the Corinto village area.

[00:13:34]Next, we hear from Inspector Dania Cruz. The information we can verify is that this individual was involved because during the incident he left the country for Guatemala and was receiving medical attention for a bullet graze, and this can also serve as evidence that he is one of those involved in the death of our colleagues.

[00:13:56]But you say there are phone records that also establish their involvement.

[00:14:02]This is the work that the intelligence team is carrying out. Remember, the teams are fully prepared and are also the collectors of forensic technical evidence to establish the guidelines, and well, these are involved with criminal association and a structure that operated in Corinto.

[00:14:23]Inspector Aia Cruz, we're live for HR this afternoon. Tell us about the capture of this individual, how it happened, and whether he is already being transferred here to San Pedro Sula. Yes, indeed, this will be arriving in the next few hours because she is linked to illicit association. Likewise, the investigations carried out by the specialized teams also include initiating the corresponding legal procedure. How did all this start? Because he was receiving medical assistance in Guatemala, and also today Interpol, in coordination with Guatemalan authorities, handed this individual over, since he was treated for a bullet graze that he sustained at the time of the events, which is technical evidence that can support us that he is one of those involved in the confrontation where our colleagues lost their lives. the police officers.

[00:15:19]Uh, who is the person being detained right now? Well, we'll be announcing the name in the next few hours when we make the official presentation, because we started it, we're bringing it up to this moment. So, we're going to wait for the authorities handling the case to give us the specific details and also verify each of the general details of the person involved, the one allegedly involved in this violent act.

[00:15:45]Which organization would he be a member of, and what would his role be in it? Well, we will be providing that information, since the technical report is being prepared by specialists in the field, those handling the case, and we will be providing the specific details when we present it.

[00:16:00]Two more were reported earlier, bringing the total to three in this case.

[00:16:04]There are three people involved in this incident. Remember the analyses and expert reports that are currently being carried out.

[00:16:10]Here some of them are providing specific data that these would be the participants in this violent act and also the expert reports of the, well, of the police clothing that was found. Also, details were given that telephone records have been collected, as well as other types of technology specifically used to carry out this investigation.

[00:16:36]Thank you very much, that's very kind of you.

[00:16:38]Inspector Dania Cruz here in the northern part of the country. Fellow viewers of HRN afternoon TSI. This is what we heard from the authorities this afternoon on TSI, and you were already hearing it, that is, the person is captured because he seeks assistance in Guatemala to treat a gunshot wound.

[00:16:58]That's why the investigations begin. In Guatemala, he is sent to Honduras, and now the investigations of this person are also beginning in San Pedro Zula Cortés. So let's share this information to reach more people. And I'm also going to share some news that really shocks me because there are professions that are willing to let you open the doors of your home. And look what has happened in Daniel El Paraíso. A criminal tricked a seamstress into entering her home and ending her life. This was in Daníe, department of El Paraíso, also during this violent day for Hondurans, violent for the country. And I continue reading the comments on this live stream as well. Her name was Marta Montalbán. She was shot to death in her home by a man who initially pretended to be a customer to get close to her. And here I share with you the images and how a possible revenge motive is being investigated in this case.

[00:18:09]Look, she was identified as Marta Montalbán, she was shot to death inside her home in Daniel Paraíso and she was practically tricked by this man who turned out to be her client to enter her home and take her life. Pay attention to who you let into your home, because look at this news and I invite you to visit tunota.com under the Honduras Today tab. Because according to the preliminary data collected at this scene, the crime occurred in the morning at around 5 a.m. The suspect enters the victim's property, the lady's house, carrying a pair of pants in his hands, and tells her that he needs her help with the making and repair of that garment. He arrives pretending to be a customer, forces her to open the door, listen carefully to the time of the morning. And she doesn't suspect anything because obviously Doña Marta worked as a seamstress and it was common for people to come to her home, but once inside this man's property a heated argument begins and ends tragically with her death by gunshot. On repeated occasions she ends her life, then immediately flees to an unknown place, but it is another woman we are talking about in this unfortunate event. And I'm going to present in the overall summary of this day how the report was also made earlier this morning in Danl, El Paraíso by our news colleagues today, we're going to hear it.

[00:19:55]Every time there's a World Cup we learn a new move, like dribbling past the boss to see overtime.

[00:20:01]Now, it's a regrettable fact that a woman who worked as a seamstress has been killed in the Nueva Esperanza neighborhood. For this reason, the head of UDEP7 is with us, since saturation operations have been carried out throughout the municipality and now this fact has been discovered.

[00:20:19]That area is currently saturated, boss, but unfortunately, the murder of this woman has been recorded.

[00:20:23]Well, good morning. Yes, unfortunately yesterday we were saturating the area there of Nueva Esperanza and the brotherhood, but it turns out that today at 5:30 a.m. a complaint came in, a 911 complaint where they are informing us that there is a person who arrived at the house and attacked her. Then, we later confirmed that the lady was indeed gathering information. Uh, the lady was a seamstress, but she had already received several threats. incidents that have occurred previously in other communities, also involving the death of another person. So they were kind of blaming her for the death, and we are working on the case and we already have quite a bit of information that we have gathered right now with the police personnel who are there, with the family members and also with the cell phone, which has a lot of information.

[00:21:14]In this case, the name of the woman has already been identified.

[00:21:17]Yes, we already have the name of the deceased person. The identified person, who is a 41-year- old female, was in the Nueva Esperanza sector, and the National Police were present in the area. We have cordoned off the area, we are saturating the area because it is very important that they give us information. If we receive information, we will do everything possible to immediately apprehend the perpetrator.

[00:21:54]In this case, they arrived at the house, she opened the door, they must have been people already known because it was already early morning hours when she arrived.

[00:22:00]Yes, it was in the early hours of the morning that she arrived, at 5 a.m., people she knew because she opened the door for her, and what's her name? And there was a small argument, apparently what the family says is that he had already arrived at the house three times, but unfortunately today he made the decision to take her life. We have her name now.

[00:22:28]Yes, her name is Marta Elizabeth Moltarbán Cáceres. Well, so this is what has already happened, and the DPI agents are doing their job to arrest the perpetrators who took this faith's life. Look at Lilian Zuniga's cameras. We'll return with you to the main studios.

[00:22:49]Well, you heard that police version, but also part of what a testimony can represent. Did you hear that? He says, "This person had already entered this woman's home three times and on the last occasion made the decision to take her life." It is a situation of unlimited violence that we have in Honduras. And I'm going to present another case of another homicide that has also occurred during this day in the country. And this happened in the afternoon here in the capital of the Republic, and I'll elaborate a bit on what happened. Uh, the death or murder of a taxi driver has also been reported in Tegucigalpa. This happened on the road leading to El Pikachu National Park, and this is what is known about the crime against the 47- year-old taxi driver.

[00:23:46]47 years old. And look, he worked 3 years ago at a taxi stand known as Kennedy Centro, and the taxi driver was also identified in the investigation of this case. This happened this afternoon in the Pikachu area, in the capital of Honduras. And look, he receives a call where they ask him for a ride, as is usual with this type of taxi that works privately, they get the call, come, pick me up at such and such place. Well, that's more or less how it worked. Look at this criminal strategy. In this case, they end his life inside taxi unit 6606 in this sector of Pikachu, on that uphill road towards Pikachu. And according to Samuel Díaz, he lived in the Centroamérica Oeste neighborhood and had been working as a taxi driver for several years. He belonged to the taxi stand that covers this Kennedy Centro route in the capital of the Republic and they had even left the identification of the sign on the transport unit that he worked on that route. They call this a shared taxi. Although the motives for this crime are unknown, the vehicle was already turned off when the police arrived. This is on the side of the road. even with the turn signals on. So, that's where the investigation begins, and the National Police, through agents from the Police Directorate of Investigations and forensic medicine personnel, arrive at the scene to carry out the corresponding investigations. Let's listen to this report from our colleague Alex Laz.

[00:25:37]Lucia, are you ready to win and do you already have your bingo tickets ready?

[00:25:41]Good afternoon to Mr. Rosendo García, television viewers and radio listeners on HRN frequencies, as you mention, located on the street that connects the Pikachu sector with the capital of the Republic, where the violent death of a taxi driver is recorded. According to preliminary information, he has been identified as Saúl Samuel Díaz, 47 years old, who resided in the Centroamérica Oeste residential neighborhood and had been a taxi driver for 3 years. And the preliminary information is that he was called because the taxi we see is from a taxi stand in the Kennedy neighborhood, but he was called to pick up a fare, so he went to the area where we are located and once he received the person who called him to pick up the fare, unfortunately he was shot in the head, according to the preliminary information of the police authorities, that at this moment both the crime scene processing unit are already at the scene carrying out the investigations and therefore the blockade of both directions of the street is blocked, therefore vehicular access is interrupted in both directions. Neither those in the Pikachu sector can go down to the historic center of the capital, nor vice versa. They cannot go up to this area because both directions of the street are blocked while the investigation and the corresponding removal of the body continue, according to the procedure dictated when a violent death occurs. The management, the forensic medicine and sciences team are already on site and are ready to carry out the corresponding legal procedures.

[00:27:28]But we can inform afternoon television viewers and radio listeners that a taxi driver was violently killed with a gunshot to the head in the El Pikachu sector this afternoon in the capital of the Republic and was preliminarily identified as Samuel Díaz, 47 years old, resident of the Centroamérica Oeste residential colony and had been practicing this profession for 3 years. What we can tell you from this area.

[00:27:58]Return to main afternoon studio.

[00:28:02]Well, we were listening to the version of our colleague Alex Laín discovering, well, these events in this area of ​​El Pikachu here in Tegucigalpa. And you can visit our website tunota.com to learn more about the conditions in which this 47-year-old person was killed. Now I will continue with the following information, which has a lot to do with, according to some versions, synthetic drugs and the impact this has on the country's security. Look, a large event on synthetic drugs has taken place, even with the presence of police officers from other countries in the region, and I'm going to share with you some of what has been discussed regarding synthetic drugs and how this may have an impact on our country. Here they write to me about Secot. Thank you, thank you Alfredo. Someone wrote to me from El Salvador, saying, "Here we have space for those criminals who are watching us from El Salvador at this time of day." Well, look, for Honduras the whole issue of synthetic drugs represents a silent threat, and we're even talking about fentanyl, and other drugs that are being developed with the advancement of science, also for evil. But Honduras confirmed that the influence of these foreign cartels or the Mexicanization/ Colombianization of these regional cartels is what is generating, to a certain degree, the danger and violence in Honduras.

[00:29:43]Look, they've talked about fentanyl, methamphetamines, ecstasy, and that this could mark a new stage for organized crime in the country. One that is quieter, experts say, cheaper to produce, and with a moral impact on the population. During the international conference on synthetic drugs, which was attended by many security experts, they came from Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic to discuss how to confront clandestine laboratories, new routes being used through our country, many of them border controls, criminal investigation, and everything that affects their development. Defense Secretary Enrique Rodríguez Burchart confirmed that these international cartels do have influence in Honduras, something we have been discussing for weeks in this news program. He says that for him it is not a new phenomenon, but that it is being addressed seriously by the state and that in the Defense Council they are working on reconsidering, but also on strengthening all institutional capabilities.

[00:30:56]But I also tell you, they say that in this case these types of drugs are sold as recreational, but even so they are 100 times stronger than other types of substances that circulate even in our markets and are presented as, uh, some recreational items, but they cause death.

[00:31:17]Look, here is a complete investigation of this case. The challenge for Honduras is immense and it is a regional threat, absolutely. Also, the development of these types of strategies, that crime does advance and well, the authorities face these types of challenges and that is precisely what the headline is called.

[00:31:41]Honduras faces this silent threat of synthetic drugs, and this international conference has been developed in the country, which was visited by many authorities to address this situation of synthetic drugs. Visit our portal and I'm going to continue with another news item that also has to do with organized crime, but in this case it's a job that the Public Prosecutor's Office has done on a resort, as they call it, but let's say, so you understand, that this is a hotel, a tourist site where they are investigating this criminal organization that is linked to the Angi Peña case.

[00:32:31]This topic has come up again, and I'm going to explain a bit about how the Public Prosecutor's Office carried out this operation within the Delta Teams structure. This was on the island of Roatán.

[00:32:43]They are largely linked to money laundering and human trafficking. And in the case of Angi Peña, look, the Public Ministry has carried out the actions of deprivation of ownership, that is, it secures those assets on the island of Roatán, Bay Islands, against this criminal structure called Delta Teams, accused of alleged participation in crimes of human trafficking, criminal association and the proceedings have been coordinated through the Special Prosecutor's Office against Crime. organized by FESCO together with the Technical Agency for Criminal Investigation (ATIC) with the support of the Honduran Naval Force as part of this entire operation to dismantle these networks of commercial sexual exploitation and money laundering through illicit assets. Look, the place was called The Doc and it was a recreation center. According to the investigations, it was still operating irregularly because it was not registered as a commercial company and did not have a registered trade name with the competent authorities. So this case continues to generate discussion. In this case of Angi Peña and in this case Galindo, who is the spokesperson, points out that the assets are even linked to these US citizens. Carol Joseph Green Junior, William James Mordrock and Honduran Ramón Gustavo Trejo Nagera, who were captured in April 2024 for their alleged participation in the crimes of human trafficking in the form of commercial sexual exploitation and criminal association, are the three of them we see here on screen. There are irregular operations in Roatán, and what they are investigating is that this Delta Teams structure allegedly used mechanisms such as commercial companies that were supposedly legal or had a legal facade to conceal the real ownership of these assets, making it difficult to identify the final beneficiaries and also hindering the financial traceability that many of the investigations are now doing by following the trail of the money.

[00:35:07]Then there's the whole development. Uh, the members of Delta Team are in prison for the Angi Peña case and uh, their luxury vehicles have been seized, look. And this place, which was known as Doc's place on the island of Roatán, has now been seized by the authorities. And I'm also going to share a little bit about another case that has been investigated and published through tunota.com, here I'll show you. Note that there is a character talking about security issues who was prosecuted in the United States for the security bowl. Do you remember that initiative that started in Honduras and that still, well, some security tax deductions are still being made and that were going to be invested in the development of some logistics in the area of ​​country security, well look, a news story has developed because a Honduran citizen, a businessman, has already been tried in the United States on this security tax case. And I also want to inform you about this because it has been a truly shocking piece of news, and speaking of these issues precisely today, I want to share it with you and I'll keep you updated. You can also visit our portal to read more about this news, but I do want to share this fact with you so that we don't lose our memory, you know?

[00:36:59]And I'm going to tell you a little bit about how it has developed in Miami and who it's about. Well, look, his name is Juan Ramón Molina. Juan Ramón Molina.

[00:37:12]And who is Juan Ramón Molina? You might ask yourselves. Look, he was the coordinator of the former security tax trust and this whole case begins with an investigation in Miami. Why do you think that is? Because he is accused of money laundering in the case of acquiring driver's licenses, but also for acquiring uniforms for the National Police.

[00:37:45]This case began to be investigated by the Federal Court of Miami, but note that it did not go to trial as such, because this character, Juan Ramón Molina Rodríguez, admitted the charges in that federal court and the whole process is shown because you already know that when the United States Prosecutor's Office makes an accusation it is because it has the evidence in hand. So, he chose to admit the charges brought against him by federal judge Melisa Danian and was sentenced to 30 months in prison. The curious thing about this case is that it is indeed 30 months in prison, but it is 13 months under prison custody and 17 months under house arrest, because the conditions when a person admits the charges reduce their sentence.

[00:38:41]So, look, in this case he has already served those 13 months in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He is now under house arrest. But what happens in the United States when that house arrest ends? What's next?

[00:39:00]So, he has a peculiar case because the US authorities are returning his passport. And you might think, well, this gives him a certain level of hope, I don't know, to be able to stay anywhere in the world.

[00:39:17]Well, that's not the case, because the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement service, what we know in immigration terms as AIS, is going to initiate deportation proceedings and return him to Honduras.

[00:39:34]But then the question arises, and we'll leave it for you in a TikTok video and on different digital platforms.

[00:39:42]Since he paid off the United States justice system, should he also be prosecuted in Honduras? We are talking about an amount in this accusation of more than 18,000,000 lempiras that were allegedly embezzled through the acquisition of police uniforms and the famous plastic driver's licenses. And then the investigation begins to develop because they find money in Florida and they find money in Belize.

[00:40:16]And well, this individual is already serving this sentence in the United States and now he will have to be prosecuted in Honduras. The Honduran prosecutor's office will also accuse him of this multi-million dollar fraud involving driver's licenses, but they hit his assets with three real estate properties, seven movable assets, 37 bank accounts and five commercial companies in operations carried out here in Tegucigalpa, but also in Nacaome Valle. So this investigation of this case is very interesting, and he was the former coordinator of the security tax trust, the money that should have been invested in our security, which shouldn't be in these current conditions that we have as a country and that also worry us as Honduran citizens. So this case is also very interesting, you can find it on our website tunota.com. Just search for this name, Juan Ramón Molina, and there you will find it in the full news story. So, what are the authorities going to do to try to curb this wave of crime we have in the country? I'm leaving with the news from the National Congress, because in the last few hours the legislature has proposed life imprisonment for police killers. judges and military personnel.

[00:41:46]This has also generated much controversy in the country about whether or not it should be imposed, but it is a proposal that will be submitted to all opinions in the legislative discussion and that the National Congress is promoting as a way to toughen all sanctions against organized crime, and to strengthen the protection of judges, police and military personnel. And in this context, President Tomás Zambrano proposed that life imprisonment be implemented for the murderers of police officers and soldiers. And while I'm at it, I'll ask you, would you agree? I read them in the comments here on tunota.com and I'll also expand on these news stories.

[00:42:30]I am from Texas and Salvadoran. "My employees are Honduran, good workers and helpful," Roni tells me in this live broadcast. Thank you for connecting. There are many Salvadorans watching us from Venezuela, they are watching us even at this time of the afternoon.

[00:42:45]And I'll continue with the next news item.

[00:42:49]The following news item is related to another alert we have in the country. Look, we're just alerts here. But I will also show you how Copeco determines that Honduras adds 15 more municipalities to the green alert for drought. Yes, you will remember, or I will also inform you about it. Over the weekend, the Permanent Contingency Commission (COPECO) determined that 60 municipalities in the country are on green alert due to drought, lack of rain, and the potential impact on crops, food, and drinking water supplies. And today the alert is being expanded and it has been determined that 15 more municipalities will be added to this list. And I'm going to quickly tell you which municipalities these are, because the number has already risen to 75 municipalities in the country that are on green alert for drought in six departments of the country.

Here is the full breakdown of this alert by visiting our portaltunota.com.

[00:46:37]The delay in the rains is also part of this alert and all the municipalities are included in this complete list from the Permanent Contingency Commission. Now I'm going to move on to the next thing. What do the experts say about when it's going to rain? That is the main question that many users ask me on different digital platforms. Let's listen to César Quintanilla.

[00:47:02]Hi how are things? It is a pleasure to greet you from the World Metrology Organization. With the hurricane season in the Atlantic basin just days away, it should not be confused with the Pacific season that began on May 15th. In the Atlantic it begins on June 1st, as Hao has released the list of 21 phenomena for this season.

[00:47:22]However, it's clear that most of these phenomena won't form, because with the El Niño phenomenon, there will be some formation, and the possibility is between 55 and 60% that between 8 and 14 named storms will form in the Atlantic, just due to the wind shear.

[00:47:41]And notice that here, regarding what César Quintanía says in this report, they present a list of hurricanes.

[00:47:51]And the authorities tell us, "We need two hurricanes to fill the reservoirs." But he says that many of these hurricanes will not form. Despite being announced by the National Hurricane Center, they will not form because we are experiencing the El Niño phenomenon, which counteracts the weather conditions. So we kept listening.

[00:48:16]We have a busy season. What we are seeing is precisely the humidity that is already rising from the Pacific and that has left some scattered storms in Honduran territory in the last few hours. For this next day we are monitoring the intertropical convergence zone, the departure of tropical wave number two, and the arrival of a third tropical wave on Thursday. You can see on this map the areas in brown in the south, part of the center, which is a corridor that remains dry for this Tuesday, while humidity advances in areas of the northeast and northwest.

[00:48:52]And then we will expect in some points and especially towards the afternoon in areas of the west of the country, municipalities of Copán, Lempira, Ocotepeque, some possible showers in the afternoon and it also extends to the border between Gracias a Dios and Colón, nothing more. The rest of the week will be dry, but that changes completely for Wednesday and Thursday.

[00:49:16]Look, the map in these red zones already raises the possibility to 90%. Here in Teigalpa, where we are in great need of water, well, it has been appearing since Wednesday and will intensify on Thursday. Good projection, 42 gr.

[00:49:28]We always hope that they stay close to San Lorenzo for this Tuesday and in the rest of the southern zone 39, 31 and 33 in the center, 32 in the east up to 34 in the Zula Valley and 34 also in areas of Santa Bárbara in the west of the country. Ultraviolet index of 12 and the smoky smell on the Caribbean coast up to 3 m. Hi how are things? It's a pleasure to greet you. The World Meteorological Organization.

[00:49:54]We were listening to the weather conditions for the next few hours.

[00:50:07]César Quintanía tells us that Tegucigalpa and Francisco Morazán are hoping that even the southern region will get rain between Wednesday and Thursday. But according to the authorities, these rains, even those generated in June, will not be enough due to the drastic water shortage we have in the capital. And we are going to listen, look, to a very interesting interview that has taken place today by Francisco Zúiga with the authorities of the Municipal Mayor's Office of the Central District. They emphasize that Tegucigalpa and Comayahuela have guaranteed water, guaranteed until July. From there on we also have to suffer the onslaught of the El Niño phenomenon. I present to you this interesting interview and the answers given by the authorities.

[00:50:56]We can distribute water until the end of July under the current conditions. We need it to rain, no matter what. Extinguishing fires and helping a little to start draining water into the Hanerique basin is what interests us today due to the effects of dams.

[00:51:13]But look, the first rains that are coming this week will make people say, "Ah, now we've got it sorted." We don't solve anything. And I'm telling you the truth, to fill those two dams to their maximum capacity, we need a couple of hurricanes to fill them. And sorry for being so dramatic, it might seem like I'm exaggerating, but it's the only way you might understand that the amount of water required for them is quite high. So, we have 34.78 uh uh sorry, 4303 uh Concepción and 34.78 Laureles. That is the capacity that exists today in those reservoirs. Considering, guys, what we've discussed at some point, that there's a base of that container that can't be used. It can be used, but the amount of chemicals that need to be added to it in order to treat it is extraordinary. So, we have to consider all these elements. So, MAPS has been doing precisely this of extending the times, but the demand for water is so great, 2 million people consuming water, that there are sectors that are not receiving it or are not receiving it or are not receiving it with enough time. So, uh, today we have water with what we have until the end of July.

[00:52:22]What about the cistern system?

[00:52:24]The other day someone told us that when we went to the water filling stations for cisterns, the water flow, to put it colloquially, the water flow has decreased and it takes us longer to fill the cistern. Look, we've had to increase the number of crews to be able to address leaks, because there are reports of leaks every day in an incredible number of places. We have leaks, we have consumption as such that is already happening. And the other thing, man, is that people who don't have access to water are buying water from tankers; you have to keep filling the tankers. And I'm going to give you another piece of information. Every time we fire, every time we lift the helicopter and use the Bambi Bucket, every time the fire truck, the water we use is from the same dam, that is, everything is consumed from the same place.

[00:53:15]So, we have consumed water in fires today, equal to what 1000 homes consume, to give you a figure. So, you were more or less hearing a summary of what the authorities are saying, and what strikes me is that he says, "We need two hurricanes to really fill these reservoirs in Francisco Morazán, right? Both reservoirs." And what also catches my attention is that he says, if we reach that 30% level in the reservoirs, the water that can be distributed will need delicate chemical treatment because it won't be possible to clean it. It's practically just sediment that's left at the base of these reservoirs. And he says, "The rains that are forecasted could be enough to completely fill these reservoirs, and practically the Earth would absorb this water from the rains that are about to fall in our region of Francisco Morazán, right here where we are broadcasting." And I'm going to present a news story that, well, was also under investigation, but a young man has died after suffering severe burns when his motorcycle caught fire. This was in the department of Copán. He was transferred to the University Hospital here in Tegucigalpa. He remained hospitalized for 8 days, but due to the severe burns he suffered in his hometown of Dulce de Copán, Pablo Manuel Quintanilla did not survive.

[00:54:56]This young man died in the last few hours at the Escuela hospital and the motorcycle suddenly caught fire while it was in motion. They are investigating whether it was perhaps the weather conditions, the heat wave, or if the motorcycle had mechanical problems. He was from the community of El Naranjo in the municipality of Dolores, department of Copán, very loved among his family and neighbors and unfortunately lost his life when his motorcycle caught fire. Here are the videos, you can visit and always invite you to tunota.com to learn about this and other information. And I'm going to move on to the next news item because today, in the field of the Public Prosecutor's Office, several scenarios have developed, and here I'm showing you a little bit. Today, Mario Morazán, the former magistrate of the Electoral Court, appeared before the Public Prosecutor's Office.

[00:56:05]Mario Morasán says that his phone was being tapped and that the Public Prosecutor's Office must have already known that he was going to appear. Let's listen to part of this interview. "We need to investigate Mr. Carlos Ledesma," he says, "because Carlos Ledesma also went to the Public Prosecutor's Office to hand over the documents of the political trials." Congress says this was at the request of the Attorney General, and here it says, " Mr. Ledesma must be investigated because he claimed he had removed me from office with 88 votes when that did not happen."

[00:56:45]Mario Morazán said, "I was upset." It is not protected by legislative immunity and it does not prescribe, that is, if this Public Ministry does not investigate these crimes of treason against the homeland, it will be another one.

[00:56:59]Lawyer, the file for a prosecutorial request. They are bringing a file for a prosecutor's request regarding you.

[00:57:07]No, there isn't one. What they are doing is that the file that was built in the National Congress will be sent here to the Congress, sorry, to the Public Prosecutor's Office. But the person who should be investigated here is Mr. Ledesma because he claimed that I had been removed from office with 88 votes when that has not happened.

[00:57:34]Lawyer, please remind us why you have come to the Public Prosecutor's Office.

[00:57:37]I came here because my phone was tapped and yesterday and the day before yesterday I was heard saying that I would come today at 3 in the afternoon and they got ahead of me to say that today at that same time they were going to send the files of the political trials. So I'm not coming here under any circumstances. I am here because Mr. Ledesma has committed crimes against, let's say, against public trust and has committed crimes of treason against the homeland. There is, if you see, that thing about supposed lists, that has no legal value. Where is it that you can vote for a list? No, no, no. You vote by raising your hand, but look at my vote, how Ledesma knew they hadn't reached the necessary votes, he immediately came and said, "Ah, and we have a list with 88 votes." No, no, no. I say to Mr. Ledema here, "No, don't be mistaken, and don't be mistaken about me."

[00:58:43]Well, there you have the statement of Mario Morazán, former magistrate of the Electoral Court, and we will also introduce you to Carlos Ledesma.

[00:58:54]What are they saying on the other side?

[00:59:03]And closing the cycle of impeachment.

[00:59:05]Remember that this is the first time that two political trials have been carried out, and therefore it is now the responsibility of the Public Prosecutor's Office. Here, filing the complaint also has the phone tapped and other complaints.

[00:59:18]Well, that's it, and it's up to the Public Prosecutor's Office to accept or reject the complaint filed by former magistrate Mario Morazán. We, as the National Congress, simply and plainly close the cycle that corresponds to us.

[00:59:30]Secretary, please remind us why we are here, why you have come all the way to the Public Prosecutor's Office. We have come to the Public Prosecutor's Office at the request of the ministry where they have asked us for the files, which are the reason why both the former prosecutor and the councilor Marlon Ochoa, Mario Morazán and the alternate councilors were subjected to political trial. What do you expect once you hand over all the documents from the two impeachment trials? Secretary.

[00:59:51]Well, it is now up to the Public Prosecutor's Office to decide whether or not to file charges in the corresponding courts.

[01:00:02]Well, you were also listening to Carlos Ledesma, who is the secretary of the National Congress, saying that the Public Ministry requested him to present that information on the political trials to the State's justice operating body. And well, in this way we reach the end of the information. Thank you for joining us during this day. There have been many news stories, and others that are still developing.
