hello, adrian. again, this is al 0 life and also coming up anger in russia against president vladimir putin mobilization life. the kremlin admits that arrows were made a far right leader promised as a government for all italians after initial results, sundays election give a clear majority. the georgia melodious coalition and the british pound. it's a 50 year. lo against the dollar. after the government said that it would borrow more money. columbia and venezuela have reopened. i bought out for trades, it was closed for nearly 7 years after venezuela accused. the columbia militia of attacking it soldiers. now the countries are hoping to normalize relations onto zeros, on a, some of empathy reports now from columbia's capital bog atop. venezuela's main
8:02 pm
consulate in columbia. capital bull guitar lies in ruins. an accidental fire in april. burn much of it. it's walls covered in graffiti and overgrown weeds. it's a tangible symbol of a relationship gone sour since 2019. i'll dig that order. when columbus former president divan duke refused to recognize nicholas my daughter as the president of venezuela after elections. lucas said we're fraudulent. but all data changed with the election of columbus 1st left his president with them a pedro who promised to restore relations. last month madura enthusiastically received columbia's newly appointed ambassador, admitting big laughs and hugs the columbian invoice as the neighbors should never have parted ways. bill this year, back in her magazine community, there are some 5000000 columbia and citizens that have been totally abandoned for
8:03 pm
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 kilometers long border for trade and called for the resumption of military collaboration in a region over run by criminal groups. but despite that many pledges them both full announcement to restoring, full diplomatic relations is easier said than done that the 2 countries remain deeply suspicious of one another. could elgar a, i think you will be a much more complex and long process than what people think. the 2 countries have deeper symmetries or if you look at trader venezuela's industry is in shambles with it than the maduro regime. the most important things to show that they're not as isolated as they were employed while columbia had a lot to gain economically, but wants to avoid being seen as closing up to
8:04 pm
a less than democratic government with the arrival of venus. when an ambassador in columbia was a noticeable muted affair, and the countries of so far avoided addressing venezuela's ongoing political crisis, and the fate of the more than $2500000.00 refugees at columbia. but i left the agenda, makes no mention of security of migration of consulate services. venezuela's ambassador placencia has long denied the existence of a migratory crisis. but now that he's in bogota, he inevitably we'll have to recognize it and address it. but even with its many fits and starts, the fact that the 2 neighbors are talking again, is welcome news for millions of colonialism been as well as on both sides of the border. we've been in limbo for years. but now, believe there is hope for a more stable future. and alesongo joined just now by of from the town of cook water on the columbia, venezuela border. what's happening there, alexandro?
8:05 pm
well, adrian there the border between columbia, venezuela is now officially open the symbolic ceremony to show that the relationship between columbia venezuela are starting to change to just the ended. we saw the 1st 2 trucks crossing the seamen believer bridge, the 1st one from venezuela in to columbia, with construction materials in another truck to move from a columbia in to venezuela. with the toilet paper, plastic and medical supplies, that we understand that a number of other trucks are also ready to cross in the cummings, ours. this, these are the 1st step of what potentially could mean a large, a number of a commerce in and trade along this border, potentially looking at billions of dollars. that was the case before this crisis
8:06 pm
started the back in 2008, 2009 at the height of the relationship of the commercial relationship more than $7000000000.00 us dollars moved through this a border. this year. we are looking at around $300000000.00 so, so there is clearly a major potential for a growth here, and that they are big expectations among the millions of people that live out ama along base, a border president, the president of columbia, gustavo petrov, made a surprise visit here, that was announced early this morning at to participate in this ceremony. the president of venezuela nicholas my daughter just tweeted the saying that this isn't a story can transcend until at day. so there is a lot of expectation for all that. this means even if, as we as the n and the package earlier, it will be gradual,
8:07 pm
it will take time to rebuild the relationship between these 2 countries. want alice hon this me and for the millions of venezuelan refugees in columbia. yeah, that's really the elephant in the room in many ways because gustavo better the president of columbia hasn't really addressed that issue at all. and as we know that the government of, of venezuela really hasn't recognized that there is a, in the, in economic and political crisis in the country. the expectation though is that they will have to sit down and deal with their situation. the colombian government, we know, is hoping that restarting the economy along the border that could also improve the economic conditions inside of venezuela. and that this could be, it could be now reduction in the number of fir venezuelans fleeing to columbia.
8:08 pm
other countries across latin america or the united states, we're gonna have to see if that indeed will be the case. what we understand is that they're still leaving in important numbers last month. for example, there was a record in the number of venezuelans that's crossed from columbia into panama, trying to reach to go north towards the united states through a did the re and jungle more than double the usual number. so, so a very complicated, the situations that remain. so when it, when we look at that, the humanitarian crisis along this a border at the economic crisis. and also i think that fundamentally on the security level, 7 years with the border close as men to a strengthening of criminal gangs. gary, a groups that still operate between columbia and venezuela paramilitary groups that
8:09 pm
have taken advantage of the fact that the border was closed to increase the smuggling of goods illegally. the smuggling also of people throughout this a border, we're gonna have to sell this is will start to change if indeed will chain in the coming weeks and months. it was also announced that the m a, the 1st the flight from bogus taft to carrack as that will happen on october 4th. and also add the bid there. when the swelling national, i are, we will try to restart the flights between the characters in both them. on a sunday appeared to reporting from the columbia that us where the border thanks, summer sun room. in russia, anger over president vladimir putin is decree to mobilize reservists and reinforced troops. him ukraine has led to violence in siberia. a man opened fire at an army draft office, wounding and official. he was reported to be upset,

8:11 pm
mistakes were made. and people were fleeing the country because nobody was sure whether they were, it meant to be drafted or not. the criteria were not clear. some people who were already caught up, they were released and told them what they didn't meet the criteria. some people who left the country while told they could come back because they were not, they were not included. and some aware, already recruited, they were told that they can go, and it's a lot of confusion, as i said. and it takes time, it's taking time before the, the authorities in charge. no, exactly how to implement this degree in the right way. at least 15 people have been killed in a school shooting in the city of is jeff st. in russia. the victims include 11 children, what was, was teachers, the security guard, several people were injured russian authority, so the government killed herself. the u. s. has warned russia that using nuclear weapons in ukraine would have catastrophic consequences. and so to russia's foreign
