NC Noticias, NC Noticias
00:00:05:14 - 00:00:08:17
News station, news station
00:00:09:14 - 00:00:13:16
The news station with the slogan 'inform for peace'
00:00:14:13 - 00:00:20:02
that was founded during the peace negotiations.
00:00:26:01 - 00:00:30:21
Yadira, focus on camera 1.
Pretend that we are live already.
00:00:32:19 - 00:00:37:21
I am Yadira Suárez
and I am an anchor for the news channel NC Noticias.
00:00:40:09 - 00:00:42:06
This is Fabian, my co-presenter.
00:00:43:07 - 00:00:44:21
Hello. How are you?
00:00:45:08 - 00:00:47:19
He's good-looking, isn't he?
00:00:48:02 - 00:00:52:21
That's only because of the make-up.
00:00:53:05 - 00:00:57:08
In the year 2000, I joined the Farc.
00:00:58:22 - 00:01:02:23
I was 16 when they pushed a microphone under my nose
and I had to anounce a press statement.
00:01:03:02 - 00:01:05:01
We went live immediately.
00:01:05:09 - 00:01:12:13
Since I was a little girl I dreamed
of becoming a reporter or news anchor.
00:01:13:13 - 00:01:16:00
Everybody ready?
00:01:16:08 - 00:01:20:10
We're starting in ten minutes.
00:01:20:15 - 00:01:24:08
5, 4, ..
Yadira, are we ready?
00:01:33:16 - 00:01:37:18
Dear compatriots, the war is over.
Welcome to peace.
00:01:37:22 - 00:01:39:11
Indeed, Yadira.
00:01:39:13 - 00:01:44:07
This is the news
for which Colombia has been waiting for over 50 years.
00:01:44:08 - 00:01:45:07
Yes we can!
00:01:46:20 - 00:01:49:02
Colombia is experiencing
the end of an era.
00:01:49:17 - 00:01:53:08
The battle between the Colombian government
and the Marxist rebels of the Farc
00:01:53:08 - 00:01:56:11
was the longest running armed conflict worldwide
00:01:56:11 - 00:01:59:23
and killed more than a quarter of a million Colombians.
00:01:59:23 - 00:02:04:15
For the first time in more than 50 years,
there is peace.
00:02:05:17 - 00:02:10:11
This is where the armed conflict with the Farc ends.
00:02:10:19 - 00:02:12:19
But the agreement remains controversial.
00:02:12:19 - 00:02:18:06
The Farc used brute force
and financed the war with kidnappings and drug trafficking.
00:02:18:06 - 00:02:22:10
Not all Colombians were willing
to leave the past behind
00:02:22:10 - 00:02:25:23
and a narrow majority rejected
the agreement in a referendum.
00:02:26:04 - 00:02:33:00
The reaction of the people which we now see in all the cities,
00:02:33:00 - 00:02:37:06
is the consequence of impunity.
00:02:39:04 - 00:02:41:07
Yet President Santos persevered.
00:02:41:07 - 00:02:43:21
The peace agreement
for which he received the Nobel Prize
00:02:43:21 - 00:02:46:11
went in effect
at the end of 2016.
00:02:51:07 - 00:02:54:02
NC Noticias is a product
of that peace agreement.
00:02:54:12 - 00:02:58:14
Yadira experienced the negotiations
from the first row in Havana.
00:02:59:02 - 00:03:09:22
In 2015, I was sent to Havana as
representative of the Farc delegation.
00:03:10:07 - 00:03:16:07
We started a news bulletin
which targeted guerilleros only.
00:03:16:19 - 00:03:21:03
We called it 'The rebellious news'
00:03:21:03 - 00:03:24:14
and it served to inform the guerrilla fighters in Colombia
about how the situation was evolving.
00:03:30:01 - 00:03:35:09
But we have radically changed our approach
in order to reach a wider audience.
00:03:35:09 - 00:03:38:12
We didn't want to make propaganda for the Farc any more.
00:03:38:12 - 00:03:49:04
We have converted ourselves into a wider platform
that pays attention to the social signs of the people.
00:03:50:16 - 00:03:54:24
They really wanted to make
of NC news a professional thing.
00:03:55:00 - 00:04:02:24
It is important for the Farc because they can see
how they can re-incorporate into civilian society.
00:04:03:00 - 00:04:11:00
And projects like this show the other combatants
that might not be involved in this specific project that it is possible.
00:04:16:23 - 00:04:19:21
That indeed remains the big challenge.
00:04:19:21 - 00:04:23:16
for a lasting peace,
all 7000 former Farc rebels
00:04:23:16 - 00:04:27:23
have to find their place
in the society they have been fighting for decades.
00:04:28:07 - 00:04:32:09
The government housed them
in 26 camps all over Colombia.
00:04:32:17 - 00:04:36:12
There they handed in their weapons
and started preparing for their reintegration.
00:04:36:16 - 00:04:41:19
We visited one of the camps,
in Mesetas, south of the capital Bogota.
00:04:50:16 - 00:04:52:17
The sights are changing along the way.
00:04:52:17 - 00:04:56:12
The roads become bumpier
and the landscape more inhospitable.
00:04:56:12 - 00:04:58:06
This used to be Farc terrain.
00:05:11:05 - 00:05:18:11
This is probably the biggest
of the 26 Farc camps throughout Colombia.
00:05:18:19 - 00:05:27:09
There are almost 250 former rebels
preparing for their reintegration in society.
00:05:27:17 - 00:05:33:23
Aldinever acknowledges the importance of reintegration.
But the support is late and is not thorough enough.
00:05:34:06 - 00:05:37:16
The agreement prescribes that for our reintegration
00:05:37:17 - 00:05:41:02
we have to set up some projects
that generate income.
00:05:41:02 - 00:05:47:00
And the government is obligated
to support us in a variety of ways.
00:05:47:01 - 00:05:50:02
But more than a year has passed
and nothing has come of it yet.
00:05:50:02 - 00:05:58:14
So people are giving up because there are no possibilities
to build a future of their own.
00:05:59:03 - 00:06:02:11
I hope that peace will stand
and the procces will progress.
00:06:02:12 - 00:06:03:19
But the fight continues!
00:06:03:19 - 00:06:07:13
Because the people are still here,
as are the social problems.
00:06:08:08 - 00:06:10:15
We won't throw in the towel.
00:06:11:12 - 00:06:17:20
And so Aldinever and his comrades
set up various cooperative projects to prepare for the future.
00:06:17:20 - 00:06:24:05
That’s important, because now they still get a small benefit
but later they will be on their own.
00:06:24:20 - 00:06:28:07
One of the cooperatives they want to start up
is an ecotourism project.
00:06:28:07 - 00:06:31:01
It will offer tourists a guerrilla experience.
00:06:31:06 - 00:06:33:10
The accompanying hotel is already built.
00:06:34:02 - 00:06:39:21
The hotel has 18 accomodations.
00:06:39:21 - 00:06:44:06
It is now for 80-85% finished.
00:06:44:19 - 00:06:51:19
Here, we would like to welcome tourists
from Colombia and from all over the world.
00:06:51:23 - 00:06:54:10
Here they can learn about the history of the Farc.
00:06:55:00 - 00:07:00:03
The tourist tours are still being mapped out,
but we are able to already visit a number of places.
00:07:00:10 - 00:07:02:19
Our guide is Einer Lopez.
00:07:08:08 - 00:07:13:14
This is comrade Marulanda,
founder of the Farc.
00:07:13:17 - 00:07:22:07
He always told us: "Don't follow people, follow ideas.
The ideas on the liberation of the people."
00:07:22:10 - 00:07:26:05
"I can die tomorrow
but someone else will succeed me."
00:07:26:11 - 00:07:29:09
That's what happens to everyone
and that's what happened to him.
00:07:33:09 - 00:07:40:06
Just because we have reached an agreement with the government
and handed in our weapons,
00:07:40:06 - 00:07:43:10
doesn't mean we are also handing in our principles.
00:07:47:04 - 00:07:49:19
Einer remains faithful to his ideas.
00:07:49:23 - 00:07:53:05
Just like the guerillero's way of life,
they are part of this tour.
00:07:54:18 - 00:07:56:05
This is a guerillero stove.
00:07:56:18 - 00:08:01:11
This is where you put the wood.
00:08:02:13 - 00:08:06:11
Then you light it and you have a fire.
00:08:06:20 - 00:08:11:17
Fire comes out there and there
so that's where you can cook.
00:08:12:10 - 00:08:17:08
You poke the fire and you blow and then you can eat.
00:08:18:09 - 00:08:20:14
That's how a guerillero stove works.
00:08:21:22 - 00:08:25:00
Here's the camp where the people used to sleep.
00:08:26:03 - 00:08:28:12
As a guerillero it is completely normal
to sleep in the jungle.
00:08:29:10 - 00:08:33:07
For us, it was an honour
to be a guerillero.
00:08:33:15 - 00:08:41:11
To offer resistance to the government
with the limited resources we had.
00:08:41:16 - 00:08:43:15
For us, it was an honour.
00:08:44:00 - 00:08:46:12
Einer seems to miss the guerrilla life.
00:08:46:12 - 00:08:50:01
But through these tours
he keeps the memory alive.
00:09:06:18 - 00:09:09:19
Our last stop
brings us to a hidden waterfall.
00:09:10:07 - 00:09:14:10
We discovered this during the war.
00:09:15:09 - 00:09:19:19
Thanks to the guerilla life
we got to know different spots.
00:09:20:23 - 00:09:26:02
And now during the peace process we think
that they could become touristic attractions
00:09:26:02 - 00:09:29:20
from which we can earn an income
that we can use to reintegrate the former rebels.
00:09:30:01 - 00:09:36:08
We hope to be able to live off it, all of us.
00:09:36:15 - 00:09:47:16
Not only the rebels have to benefit from it
but also the surrounding communities.
00:09:48:05 - 00:09:54:17
Nothing is individual here,
everything is focused on the community.
00:10:15:02 - 00:10:18:01
Back in the camp,
life goes on.
00:10:18:01 - 00:10:20:18
The residents can take
courses on a daily basis.
00:10:20:18 - 00:10:24:06
Alexander and his wife Maria
learn agricultural techniques here.
00:10:24:16 - 00:10:29:14
This [the training] is very important
for our reintegration on the countryside.
00:10:29:14 - 00:10:34:02
We are familiar with the traditional techniques
00:10:34:02 - 00:10:40:20
but we're noticing
there are many thing we didn't know yet.
00:10:40:20 - 00:10:45:03
With that knowledge we can make the land more productive.
00:10:45:03 - 00:10:47:22
Thanks to this training.
00:10:47:22 - 00:10:51:04
But then they need to have
ground to work on.
00:10:51:05 - 00:10:56:04
Land reforms are part of the peace agreement,
but they are delayed.
00:10:56:17 - 00:11:01:15
We assumed that the government would have
at least granted us a piece of land
00:11:01:15 - 00:11:04:19
that we could work on collectively.
00:11:04:19 - 00:11:06:10
To date, that's not the case.
00:11:06:24 - 00:11:12:18
They are part of the agricultural cooperatives
but they have also set up their own project to grow pigs.
00:11:13:07 - 00:11:16:08
The first step is to build
a stable for those pigs.
00:11:17:05 - 00:11:18:18
We have to put a shelf under that.
00:11:18:24 - 00:11:21:11
You have to
put them this way, so they fit.
00:11:22:11 - 00:11:25:18
There's a farmer hiding in every former guerillero
00:11:26:11 - 00:11:30:09
We mainly come from the countryside.
00:11:30:16 - 00:11:33:24
And we want to stay here,
on the countryside.
00:11:35:04 - 00:11:39:02
But we are working on a future
in which we can have personal belongings too
00:11:39:02 - 00:11:40:22
and a land to work on
00:11:40:22 - 00:11:43:17
so we can feed our children
00:11:43:17 - 00:11:45:12
and so they can move forward in life
00:11:54:22 - 00:11:59:24
Peace is no guarantee of a certain future,
but it does offer more opportunities for love.
00:12:01:05 - 00:12:04:09
A normal couple is able to stay together
00:12:04:09 - 00:12:07:19
But with the Farc that wasn't possible.
00:12:07:19 - 00:12:10:23
We had to make the tasks and the deals
we had made, our top priority.
00:12:10:23 - 00:12:13:24
So even though we were madly in love,
whe both had to go our own way.
00:12:13:24 - 00:12:19:01
We thought: if it's meant to be,
we will see each other again in the future.
00:12:19:14 - 00:12:22:11
And here we have met each other again.
00:12:28:13 - 00:12:30:15
With this button you turn it off.
00:12:30:15 - 00:12:33:02
- Which one?
- This one. Off
00:12:33:04 - 00:12:35:22
- Off. Oh okay.
- And on.
00:12:43:13 - 00:12:50:03
Some six days ago, we moved to this house.
And we are happy here.
00:12:50:03 - 00:12:53:15
There are six people living here in total, but we get along well.
00:12:53:20 - 00:12:58:12
We are part
of the editorial team of NC Noticias.
00:12:58:12 - 00:13:02:15
- How many channels are there?
- About sixty HD channels.
00:13:02:16 - 00:13:05:21
- Why so big?
- In order to watch on a big screen.
00:13:05:21 - 00:13:09:06
- You can see clearly like this.
- He won't miss a thing.
00:13:09:06 - 00:13:12:11
- To watch the complete world cup.
00:13:12:23 - 00:13:18:05
The integration process of Yadira and her colleagues
started in Havana 3 years ago.
00:13:18:05 - 00:13:21:06
Now they are trying to create
a home in Bogota.
00:13:22:19 - 00:13:27:16
It's a beautiful one.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
00:13:29:10 - 00:13:31:23
We are living a normal life now.
00:13:31:23 - 00:13:34:17
After spending so much time in the jungle,
00:13:34:17 - 00:13:36:17
this is somewhat stressful.
00:13:36:17 - 00:13:40:19
But we are living here now
and we have to learn to deal with that
00:13:40:19 - 00:13:44:02
because we have to work here.
00:13:52:09 - 00:13:55:19
In the jungle we worked for the radio
and we made propaganda.
00:13:56:01 - 00:13:58:20
Only once I was
involved in a fight.
00:13:59:08 - 00:14:02:07
We were ambushed.
It all happened really fast.
00:14:02:07 - 00:14:05:11
I had to fire some shots all around,
but it was over in a second.
00:14:05:11 - 00:14:07:19
After that, I've never had to fight again.
00:14:12:17 - 00:14:17:20
Before I tell someone I'm with the Farc,
00:14:17:20 - 00:14:20:06
I try to build a relationship first
00:14:20:06 - 00:14:24:08
so they get to know me
and can see that I'm normal.
00:14:24:08 - 00:14:29:14
After that, I tell them
that I work here or that I'm with the Farc.
00:14:30:00 - 00:14:32:05
Most of them are not surprised,
00:14:32:05 - 00:14:36:02
because they've already
talked to me and laughed with me.
00:14:37:01 - 00:14:43:04
When Yadira arrives at the editorial floor,
a lot of people are already working to prepare the 7 o'clock news.
00:14:43:04 - 00:14:47:12
There's important news: the Farc is considering
to interrupt its political campaign termporarily.
00:14:47:22 - 00:14:53:15
The central theme
is the suspension of the campaign of the Farc
00:14:53:15 - 00:14:55:18
Because they encountered violence.
00:14:56:03 - 00:15:00:02
The stress kicks in later.
It's only two o'clock now.
00:15:00:02 - 00:15:05:02
I went through the questions
and I know the profile of the guest completely.
00:15:05:02 - 00:15:07:14
Because he is a member
of the politicial council of the Farc.
00:15:07:17 - 00:15:10:21
The Farc is never far away
in the news coverage of NC Noticias.
00:15:11:03 - 00:15:15:04
That’s hardly surprising
when four-fifths of the staff are former rebels.
00:15:15:15 - 00:15:18:24
Journalistic independence
is thus given a unique interpretation.
00:15:19:04 - 00:15:23:06
Of course you could say
that I'm a journalist,
00:15:23:07 - 00:15:26:05
that I'm not defending anyone
and just describe what's happening.
00:15:26:08 - 00:15:28:19
But most of all, I'm an activist.
00:15:28:19 - 00:15:30:09
And of course, I'm with the Farc.
00:15:40:24 - 00:15:44:03
Last year, Farc reformed itself
into a political party.
00:15:44:03 - 00:15:46:23
Victoria Sandino is one of the leaders.
00:15:46:23 - 00:15:49:21
We follow her on a campaign
in a popular neighborhood in Bogota.
00:15:50:02 - 00:15:53:00
Our expectations for today are
00:15:53:00 - 00:15:58:08
to start a dialogue with the people
in an honest and respectful manner.
00:15:58:08 - 00:16:02:08
And to listen
to their opinions and concerns.
00:16:02:22 - 00:16:07:13
The Farc is guaranteed 10 seats in the parliament,
regardless of the result of the elections.
00:16:07:13 - 00:16:11:01
So Sandino is already sure of her seat.
00:16:11:04 - 00:16:16:03
Yet she is campaigning
to warm the people in the barrio's for the new party.
00:16:18:08 - 00:16:23:12
The questions we usually get
are about the peace,
00:16:23:21 - 00:16:26:06
about the agreement
and what's going on with it.
00:16:32:00 - 00:16:34:06
Long live Victoria Sandino.
00:16:34:06 - 00:16:39:22
Long live Timoléon Jiménez
as president of Colombia.
00:16:39:22 - 00:16:43:23
We welcome them with open arms.
Thank you.
00:16:47:12 - 00:16:52:23
The welcome is warm but not many people showed up.
There is still work to be done.
00:16:53:10 - 00:16:57:19
I'm not a former rebel,
because I keep fighting.
00:16:58:00 - 00:17:04:16
I fight for peace,
for social change, to change this country.
00:17:05:14 - 00:17:10:00
We're not asking to change the universe.
00:17:10:00 - 00:17:18:11
We want to change the lives of the people.
And offer them a worthy life.
00:17:23:08 - 00:17:25:20
Welcome to NC Noticias' news.
00:17:25:20 - 00:17:27:13
These are the headlines.
00:17:28:04 - 00:17:31:07
The Farc is suspending its campaign
because of aggression and a lack of guarantees.
00:17:32:23 - 00:17:36:04
The Farc can’t count
on an equally warm welcome everywhere.
00:17:36:04 - 00:17:40:22
In several cities where she campaigns,
people protest on the streets.
00:17:40:22 - 00:17:43:07
The resentment is still deeply rooted.
00:17:44:08 - 00:17:47:02
It's a good thing that the civilians are protesting.
00:17:48:04 - 00:17:53:17
And it's a good thing that the civilians are denouncing
the presence of the Farc in their cities and streets.
00:17:54:01 - 00:17:56:11
Alejandro Ordoñez understands the anger.
00:17:56:11 - 00:18:00:14
He campaigns with the promise
to make the Farc pay for their actions.
00:18:00:14 - 00:18:02:17
And he reaps success with that.
00:18:05:12 - 00:18:12:00
According to millions of Colombians,
for the last 50 years the Farc has
00:18:12:09 - 00:18:19:23
caused a lot of suffering, blood and grief
among countless victims.
00:18:20:12 - 00:18:25:05
The soul of the Colombians has outed itself,
it has cried and is indignant.
00:18:25:15 - 00:18:27:21
That's why the Colombians reacted.
00:18:27:21 - 00:18:30:14
They showed that crime
should most definitely be punished.
00:18:30:18 - 00:18:34:11
What lacks here is justice.
00:18:34:18 - 00:18:39:14
We, the victims, have no right to anything.
00:18:39:21 - 00:18:42:18
Justice! Justice!
00:18:50:08 - 00:18:52:20
The call for prosecution is loud
00:18:52:20 - 00:18:57:19
but the amnesty for the Farc
is a crucial element of a balanced peace agreement.
00:18:57:19 - 00:19:02:02
If the right-wing block of Ordoñez
delivers the new president in June,
00:19:02:02 - 00:19:05:09
all of that might come into question.
00:19:12:22 - 00:19:15:20
The Farc are frightened of that scenario.
00:19:15:20 - 00:19:17:23
They are vulnerable without their weapons.
00:19:17:23 - 00:19:19:24
Therefore, they continue
to fully support the peace.
00:19:20:12 - 00:19:23:05
We know that a lot of things can happen.
00:19:23:11 - 00:19:30:18
During the war we already risked
murder or kidnapping or ending up in prison.
00:19:30:23 - 00:19:34:19
We're still risking those things.
Especially because we no longer have weapons.
00:19:34:19 - 00:19:37:24
We are now more vulnerable than we were then.
00:19:38:09 - 00:19:42:23
But we also know that we
can cope with every situation.
00:19:43:07 - 00:19:46:07
I'm here for our duties,
our commitments for peace.
00:19:47:02 - 00:19:49:14
Ant the peace of the country is the peace of our people.
00:19:50:08 - 00:19:55:17
Hopefully we don't return
to a conflict situation.
00:19:55:23 - 00:19:59:15
I don't want to imagine
getting caught up in a conflict again.
00:19:59:15 - 00:20:02:08
I want the peace to progress,
I want the agreement to progress.
00:20:02:08 - 00:20:04:03
But nobody can question it.
00:20:04:12 - 00:20:07:20
We've always known
that it wouldn't be an easy process.
00:20:08:05 - 00:20:11:24
But I've never questioned the peace process.
And here I am.
00:20:12:09 - 00:20:18:10
Yadira realizes that it will take time
and she is aware of the wounds created by 50 years of war.
00:20:18:17 - 00:20:21:07
You won't hear me say
that we never caused pain.
00:20:21:10 - 00:20:22:14
Of course we did.
00:20:22:19 - 00:20:24:05
We made mistakes.
00:20:24:11 - 00:20:26:14
We left behind widows and orphans.
00:20:26:14 - 00:20:27:14
That's true.
00:20:27:20 - 00:20:29:06
That was in the middle of the conflict.
00:20:29:13 - 00:20:31:09
And that's why we
put an end to this war.
00:20:32:01 - 00:20:37:05
Now we have to heal the wounds
and a reconciliation process will follow.
00:20:37:08 - 00:20:41:00
Reconciliation.
It's a word we repeat every day here.
00:20:48:06 - 00:20:52:23
What do people who have lived
in conflict areas for decades think about reconciliation?
00:20:57:06 - 00:21:03:17
Benedicto Gambo Escobar welcomes us in San Juan de Arama,
a small town not far from the camp.
00:21:03:17 - 00:21:07:13
He was mayor there
when the battle with the Farc was still raging.
00:21:08:02 - 00:21:11:00
Twice, our town
has been brutally
00:21:11:00 - 00:21:15:04
run down and occupied
by the Farc.
00:21:15:04 - 00:21:19:14
During the last invasion,
I was mayor.
00:21:19:14 - 00:21:22:05
The 21st of August 2001.
00:21:22:19 - 00:21:25:12
He shows us a book
with photographs displaying the havoc.
00:21:25:21 - 00:21:28:19
These buildings right in front of us,
00:21:29:00 - 00:21:32:15
were all under siege
during the invasion of the guerilla.
00:21:32:15 - 00:21:34:10
Literally everything was destroyed.
00:21:34:19 - 00:21:37:16
The fact remains that during these invasions
00:21:37:16 - 00:21:39:09
no civilians died,
00:21:39:09 - 00:21:41:16
The guerilla troops forced the people
00:21:41:16 - 00:21:44:06
to flee their houses.
00:21:45:01 - 00:21:48:10
It was a conflict
between the guerrilla and the government troups.
00:21:56:24 - 00:22:01:02
Every one who carries a weapon,
suppresses and intimidates the community
00:22:01:06 - 00:22:02:17
and especially those who don't own weapons.
00:22:03:11 - 00:22:05:19
The Farc recruited here.
00:22:06:03 - 00:22:09:06
One time, they invaded
a school in this village.
00:22:09:17 - 00:22:11:20
They kidnapped all the students.
00:22:12:01 - 00:22:13:20
People of this village
whom we have never seen again.
00:22:14:09 - 00:22:17:14
They stayed in the camps of the guerilla
00:22:17:14 - 00:22:19:19
and were never able to leave the conflict.
00:22:20:14 - 00:22:23:15
It is sad to say,
but those things happened.
00:22:28:08 - 00:22:35:02
Jesus Arena, a poor farmer we meet on the way to the camp,
lost his daughter like that to the Farc.
00:22:36:19 - 00:22:40:23
She was in the fifth year of the neighbourhood school.
00:22:41:05 - 00:22:43:18
The 13th of May 2000 they took her
00:22:44:06 - 00:22:47:24
and until today
we know nothing about her.
00:22:48:10 - 00:22:51:04
Here she was 13,
the age at which they took her away.
00:22:51:14 - 00:22:58:17
The blouse she's wearing was a gift for her 13th birthday,
three days before her kidnapping.
00:23:03:15 - 00:23:05:13
I didn't go to college
00:23:05:24 - 00:23:09:12
but I know that
many things can be forgiven.
00:23:09:23 - 00:23:13:19
But this really hurts.
00:23:15:19 - 00:23:21:01
Yet they hope that the peace agreement will stand
and give them some peace of mind.
00:23:25:11 - 00:23:27:09
That is also Benedicto's wish.
00:23:28:04 - 00:23:30:10
I understand that not everybody was in favor,
00:23:30:10 - 00:23:35:02
but for us who live here,
it has brought back the peace.
00:23:35:02 - 00:23:38:15
Only when you acknowledge the true horror of the civil war,
00:23:38:22 - 00:23:41:20
you can try to reconciliate the country
00:23:41:21 - 00:23:44:09
and leave the past behind.
00:23:59:13 - 00:24:04:02
We have to show society
that we are normal people.
00:24:04:06 - 00:24:07:23
That we too have feelings,
that we too laugh, cry and suffer.
00:24:08:01 - 00:24:11:10
We too have a family
that cries for us and misses us.
00:24:11:10 - 00:24:18:08
Our families have lost children too,
guerilleros who have fought in the war.
00:24:18:10 - 00:24:22:24
We have all suffered from this war
and that's why it's necessary to put an end to it.
00:24:22:24 - 00:24:24:12
And to start over.
00:24:25:08 - 00:24:32:00
Is Colombia really ready for a new beginning
or is the past too heavy to simply forget about it?
00:24:32:09 - 00:24:35:24
That is the big question
and the stake of the elections.
00:24:40:18 - 00:24:45:19
At NC Noticias nobody is excited
to exchange their cameras for weapons again.
00:24:45:19 - 00:24:50:20
They keep informing for peace
and tonight they’ll do that live for the first time.
00:24:51:22 - 00:24:56:09
This is the first broadcast of NC Noticias.
Good evening, Yadira...
00:24:56:09 - 00:24:58:08
- The first live broadcast
00:24:59:20 - 00:25:06:03
We are rehearsing the beginning again.
You start by welcoming the people...
00:25:06:12 - 00:25:10:15
I'm feeling very happy, emotional,
but at the same time a little nervous.
00:25:10:18 - 00:25:15:17
We have been running these trial projects for six or seven months
to go live with our news
00:25:15:17 - 00:25:18:09
but this time it's for real.
00:25:18:09 - 00:25:20:07
We're going live.
00:25:20:07 - 00:25:21:17
And as always
I'm already feeling the adrenaline.
00:25:23:06 - 00:25:24:09
Everybody ready?
00:25:26:11 - 00:25:28:17
We're going to start in 10 minutes.
00:25:30:04 - 00:25:33:02
5,4,...
Yadira, are we ready?
00:25:36:20 - 00:25:38:23
A warm welcome to all spectators.
00:25:38:23 - 00:25:42:19
Thank you for connecting with us.
00:25:43:01 - 00:25:48:18
Goodnight Fabian,
And goodnight to all of you at home.
00:25:48:18 - 00:25:55:13
This is the first live emission of NC Noticias,
from the capital of Colombia, Bogota.
00:25:55:17 - 00:26:00:11
Thank you everybody for connecting with us.
We will see you tomorrow at 7pm.
00:26:00:13 - 00:26:01:13
Goodnight everybody.
00:26:01:17 - 00:26:04:07
Goodnight. We hope to see you at 7pm tomorrow.
