‘It pains our souls': Venezuelans react to first video of relatives in Salvadoran prison after Matt Gaetz TV report
Sitting on a couch in her home in Maracay, Venezuela, Mirelis Cacique López watches her son Francisco Javier García Cacique on her cell phone in the first video released of a group of Venezuelans sent by the United States to El Salvador's maximum-security prison Cecot. 'Among the boys, I recognized my son,' Cacique López said to CNN. 'We thank God for allowing us to see our relatives, even in those conditions,' she added, insisting that she will continue to pray for their release. The video aired Tuesday on the One America News Network, on a show hosted by former US Republican congressman Matt Gaetz. He visited Cecot and had access to the prison wing housing the group of more than 200 Venezuelans deported by President Donald Trump's administration, many under the controversial use of the Alien Enemies Act, accused largely without evidence of being members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. The report shows a roughly one-minute clip of the Venezuelans behind bars, dressed in white T-shirts and shorts, the Cecot prisoners' uniform. From the moment the TV cameras enter the prison, the detainees react with shouts of 'Freedom, freedom!' and 'Venezuela!' while another group makes a fist with four fingers over their thumbs, a universal gesture asking of help. Yenni Luz Rincón Ramírez identified her brother Jonathan Miguel Ramírez in the video. 'I felt joy because I was finally able to see him after 60 days,' she told CNN from Venezuela. She insisted that her brother's detention is unjust and asserted that he is not a member of Tren de Aragua. Rincón Ramírez isn't the only one who's been able to see a loved one for the first time since the deportations were announced in March. Blanca Martínez told CNN that she learned her partner Miguel Ángel Rojas had been deported to El Salvador through a list published by media outlets. She hadn't heard from him since. So far, neither the US nor the Salvadoran government has published official lists with the names of those deported to Cecot. 'It made me sad to see him there without knowing how he really is,' Martínez said, adding that Rojas suffers from depression and that knowing he is detained at Cecot causes her great anguish. Angie Ríos, a US citizen, told CNN in a telephone interview that she recognized her husband Jesús Ríos in the video. 'I saw him and I heard him,' she said. 'He's the most handsome of all,' she said affectionately about her partner. Ríos added the last time she saw her husband was on March 15. 'He's in survival mode,' Ríos said when she saw Jesús, saying he was one of the detainees shouting 'Freedom!' 'I feel like in that video he's fighting for his voice to be heard.' CNN has not been able to verify whether these individuals have criminal records in the US and has contacted the Department of Homeland Security for comment. Following the release of the video, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro again condemned what he considers to be a kidnapping of Venezuelan citizens to El Salvador. 'I swear that we will rescue the 253 Venezuelans kidnapped in El Salvador, in concentration camps, as seen today,' he said on Tuesday. 'Let us demand that these young people who are kidnapped without trial, without the right to appear before a judge, without the right to a defense, without having committed any crime, be released immediately. And we are ready to pick them up on a Venezuelan plane and bring them back to their families,' he added. CNN has reached out to the Salvadoran presidency for comment on Maduro's statements. In April, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele proposed to Maduro an exchange of people deported to and detained in his country and for what he considers 'political prisoners' of the Venezuelan government. Maduro responded by demanding access to the prisoners for lawyers and family members. In March, El Salvador agreed to detain in Cecot up to 300 immigrants sent by the Trump administration. El Salvador would receive approximately $6 million from the US to hold them there, according to an agreement between the two governments.

Is breakfast the most important meal of the day?
Is breakfast the most important meal of the day or is it what cereal companies want us to believe? How healthy are products with sugar and fat-free labels? Why are sport companies promoting unhealthy products such as fizzy and energy drinks and how damaging are the images of famous sport figures guzzling them on young people? All these questions and more are answered by Spanish author Carlos Ríos in his book Eat Real Food published in 2019 (Spanish title: Come Comida Real). Ríos is a dietician from Huelva who created a movement called 'Realfooding' that encourages younger generation of Spaniards — who grew up on ultra-processed food and fast-food chains — to get into healthy eating habits. According to him, most premature deaths worldwide are related to the consumption of unhealthy food that leads to obesity, diabetes, hypertension and certain types of cancer. In his introduction, he compares living in modern societies — especially when it comes to food consumption — to living in the Matrix movie where it's hard to distinguish real world from an imaginary one. Everything on supermarket shelves is processed one way or another but Ríos categorises them into three different types: minimally-processed (eg: raw food and milk), well-processed (tinned fish and whole meal breads) and ultra-processed (junk food, breakfast cereals and diet products). Minimally-processed is what you could eat on daily bases while the well-processed should be consumed occasionally. As for ultra-processed food, it's what you must avoid at all costs as it's full of salt, sugar, additives and refined oils such as corn, palm and sunflower seed. These types of oils cause the disequilibrium of Omega 3 and 6 in the body which causes inflammation of the cells. The book is divided into two parts: the first is dedicated to ultra-processed food and the second to Realfooding. In the first part, Ríos classify food products into 'ultra-available' and 'ultra-palatable' that are unleashed to the public by food industries with credible tools — such as marketing and publicity — that mainly target children and young adults. Unfortunately, parents fall into the trap of ultra-processed food being healthy when labels indicate that it's full of iron or vitamin C but fail to warn them about high sugar content and harmful additives like food dyes. Ríos also discusses social effects of ultra-processed food as when young people who opt to be healthy suffer isolation from their social circles due to their diet choice and at times are forced to consume junk, as part of being the social norm or for wanting to be accepted. In the second part dedicated to Realfooding, food is divided into protective, nutritive and complimentary — with each division's own affordable and healthy recipes. Realfooding's social media pages are filled with the same type of recipes from thousands of Ríos followers along with recommendations of places and restaurants that provide fresh, healthy and homecooked meals worldwide. After the huge success of Eat Real Food, Ríos published other books under the theme of Realfooding that includes: Cooking Real Food and Losing Weight with Real Food. However, he came under fire in 2022 after collaborating with an ultra-processed food company and promoting their healthy version of junk products that include whole meal croissants. The article published on the English El País newspaper titled: 'Carlos Ríos: The rise and fall of the nutritionist who invented 'realfooding'' discusses reasons why the movement couldn't resist the lure of the ultra-processed food industry. When asked about ultra-processed food, Ríos answered: 'What's wrong with their existence?' Yet, the fact remains that Eat Real Food is a well-researched and an informative book, even when the author had a change of heart!

Thanks to a goal from Ríos himself, Verdão won 1 x 0. They continue 100% in Group G of the Libertadores. And now, in sole leadership. Exchange, tension, and relief... with a scolding! Veiga left the game just 12 minutes in with a possible injury to his left shoulder. Felipe Anderson was called upon, but little changed immediately. Palmeiras took a while to get a well-positioned rival involved in their field. And who was trying to surprise. The higher technical quality of the alviverde would show, starting with the beautiful launch by Murilo. Advertisement It was up to Ríos to convert and ask for silence from the fans (41') - and to be targeted by them at the end of the first half. The second almost came after a beautiful pass from Vitor Roque to Estêvão. Vitor Roque almost there It wasn't this time that the most expensive reinforcement in Palmeiras' history scored his goal. Vitor Roque even scored. But the VAR indicated offside after he was called by Felipe Anderson. Cerro tried. But it was up to Abel's team to have more concrete goal opportunities. But without taking advantage of them. Flaco López, for example, had two. 📊 Table and schedule 📅 Palmeiras reaches six points. Bolívar and Cerro have three. Sporting Cristal remains at zero.
