brothers of italy, party getting 41 to 45 percent of the vote. that would pave the way for maloney to become the 1st female prime minister. the center left block led by the democratic party of former prime minster enrico letter trails on 24.5 percent of oceans taken place against a background of widespread voter disillusionment and economic issues. compounded by an energy crisis and as cost now to stephanie decker, who's in rome. so stephanie is so early indications are that to maloney is, is it likely to become prime minister? oh, yes, in a, in a broad term, these are early exit polls. they need to be taken with a pinch of thought, we are expecting more to come out within this hour. but yes, certainly according to, as the prediction had been, they seem to be boating polling at exactly what that was expected, which is what you want to 45 percent for that right wing coalition. when you say to

a relationship gone sour since 2019. i'll dictate when columbia, the former president, steven lucas refused to recognise nicholas my doodle as the president of venezuela after elections. lucas had were fraudulent but all data changed with the election of columbia. the 1st letter this president was paid through promise to restore relations. last month, my doodle enthusiastically received columbia, the newly appointed ambassador meeting big laughed and hugged the columbia in boy. has the neighbors should never have parted ways. look back in the community. there are some 5000000 columbia citizens that have been totally abandoned for years without possibility to renew a passport and id. it was just stupid and inhumane. whatever the differences, it doesn't make sense to have no communication. the 2 countries have since announced a full reopening of their poorest 2000 kilometer long border for trades and called

for the resumption of military collaboration in a region over run by criminal groups. but this fight that many pledges in both full announcements, restoring full diplomatic relations. it's easier said than done cut the 2 countries to remain deeply suspicious of one another today. ok. i think it will be a much more complex and long process to what people think. the 2 countries have the per symmetries or if you look at trade, but it's weighted industry is in shambles with the material regime. the most important things to show that they're not as isolated as they were employed while columbia has a lot to gain economically, but wants to avoid being seen as closing up to a less than democratic government. yet rival of any sweat, an ambassador in columbia was a noticeable, muted affair. and the countries have so far avoided addressing venezuela's ongoing political crisis. and the faith of the more than 2500000 refugee,
