Um jovem de 17 anos foi resgatado da água por um bombeiro da corporação de Bombeiros de Barcelinhos, depois de um alerta para um pré-afogamento no rio Cávado, em Barcelos, na tarde desta quinta-feira.
Quando as equipas chegaram ao local, o segundo comandante, Rui Araújo, apercebeu-se da situação de perigo e entrou de imediato no rio, conseguindo retirar a vítima para a margem com vida.
O jovem recebeu assistência no local por parte dos bombeiros, enquanto aguardava a chegada da equipa médica da VMER de Barcelos para avaliação clínica.
Também os Bombeiros de Barcelos foram acionados e estiveram a apoiar as operações no local.
As piscinas municipais exteriores de Vila Nova de Famalicão voltam a abrir portas ao público no próximo dia 2 de junho, para dar início à época balnear de verão, que decorre até 15 de setembro.
O equipamento estará disponível de terça a sexta-feira, das 10h00 às 18h00, enquanto aos fins de semana e feriados o horário estende-se até às 19h00. No mês de agosto, o encerramento nos dias úteis passa também para as 19h00. À segunda-feira, o espaço permanece fechado para manutenção.
Os bilhetes custam 2,85 euros para adultos e jovens a partir dos 13 anos. Já os maiores de 65 anos pagam 2,14 euros, enquanto crianças até aos 12 anos e utilizadores do Cartão Sénior Feliz ou Cartão Jovem Municipal beneficiam de entrada a 2 euros.
A capacidade máxima das piscinas é de 700 pessoas e as crianças com menos de 10 anos terão de entrar acompanhadas por um adulto.
A Câmara Municipal de Vila Nova de Famalicão vai reforçar o número de operacionais afetos aos serviços de Limpeza de Espaços Públicos, com a contratação de 25 Assistentes Operacionais.
Além de assegurar a limpeza urbana, estes profissionais vão desempenhar funções ligadas à manutenção diária e conservação das vias e áreas de lazer. O trabalho destas equipas é considerado essencial para garantir que as praças, parques e arruamentos do concelho se mantêm acolhedores, cuidados e seguros para todos.
“Este reforço responde a uma necessidade permanente de dotar os nossos serviços dos meios humanos indispensáveis para garantir a excelência do espaço público”, destaca Mário Passos, presidente da Câmara Municipal.
A contratação destes 25 trabalhadores decorrerá com recurso a reserva de recrutamento interna já constituída.O Município garante, assim, uma resposta célere e eficiente que salvaguarda o superior interesse público e mantém os padrões de qualidade que os famalicenses merecem no seu dia a dia.
A idade da reforma vai voltar a aumentar no próximo ano e ficará próxima dos 67 anos. A subida acontece devido ao aumento da esperança média de vida, que está agora perto dos 82 anos, segundo o INE.
O Governo tinha apontado os 66 anos e 11 meses como idade legal para a reforma, mas os novos dados do Instituto Nacional de Estatística indicam um aumento de mais dois meses.
A esperança média de vida continua a crescer em Portugal, sobretudo devido à redução da mortalidade acima dos 60 anos. Atualmente, é de cerca de 79 anos nos homens e mais de 84 nas mulheres.
O INE confirmou ainda que o fator de sustentabilidade se mantém nos 17,63%, penalização aplicada a quem se reforma antes da idade legal.
A Unidade Local de Saúde do Médio Ave alcançou o 2.º lugar nacional no Índice de Desempenho Global dos Cuidados de Saúde Primários, com 84,7 pontos, segundo os dados do BI-CSP relativos a 2025.
A instituição destaca-se também pela elevada cobertura de médicos de família, com 99,3% dos utentes inscritos com médico atribuído, acima da média nacional.
A ULS do Médio Ave é ainda uma referência no acompanhamento de recém-nascidos, nomeadamente nas visitas domiciliárias de enfermagem realizadas até ao 15.º dia de vida.
Para o presidente do Conselho de Administração, Luís Vales, estes resultados refletem a qualidade, proximidade e dedicação das equipas de saúde junto da população dos concelhos de Vila Nova de Famalicão, Santo Tirso e Trofa.
O Partido Socialista (PS) apresentou um projeto de lei que quer garantir aos consumidores o direito de falar com uma pessoa real quando contactam empresas ou prestadores de serviços.
A proposta prevê uma alteração à Lei n.º 24/96 e pretende que o atendimento humano passe a estar claramente incluído nos direitos dos consumidores. Assim, mesmo quando existam sistemas automáticos, como chatbots ou assistentes virtuais, o cliente deve poder pedir contacto com um operador.
O PS defende que a tecnologia não pode criar barreiras no acesso aos serviços e que é importante manter um atendimento mais humano, sobretudo para pessoas com mais dificuldades, como idosos ou cidadãos com menor experiência digital.
O deputado Nuno Fazenda, responsável pela iniciativa, sublinha que ninguém deve ficar limitado por causa de sistemas demasiado tecnológicos. A proposta é também apoiada por um relatório da DECO, que identifica dificuldades no contacto direto com atendimento humano em vários serviços digitais.

IAB TCF Purposes
These purposes are part of the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework.
Store and/or access information on a device (397 seeking consent)
Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Examples:
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Use limited data to select advertising (278 seeking consent, 96 using legitimate interest)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Examples:
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Create profiles for personalised advertising (294 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Use profiles to select personalised advertising (300 seeking consent)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Create profiles to personalise content (114 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Use profiles to select personalised content (107 seeking consent)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Measure advertising performance (300 seeking consent, 132 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Measure content performance (138 seeking consent, 56 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different sources (198 seeking consent, 67 using legitimate interest)
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Develop and improve services (200 seeking consent, 107 using legitimate interest)
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Use limited data to select content (62 seeking consent, 22 using legitimate interest)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
