conservative ally, arctic contributor fiorella, isabel takes a closer look at what the result means for the country and the continent this is a historic election for colombia, for the 1st time ever. columbia has the chance at a fair election. they exerted their right to elect a popular candidate. columbia has notoriously had fraudulent elections. and so this was a historic when, not just for the lesson for the entire country of columbia that has been trying to get rid of this for decades. for the longest time. columbia has endured civil conflicts from the military police on civilians and from us fact, governments. and so this way represents an end to that, a movement towards peace, a chance to get rid of the old system and be able to usher in a new system. let's remember that colombia is the only nato partner in latin

america. for the longest time the united states has exerted control the military bases and the framing of colombians in the military. and so this marks a shift away from mat towards a more sovereign state. the reaction has been absolutely palpable with emotion, enjoy, and also signifies an attempt to have equal relationships with their latin american partners, including countries that have been vilified by the west like venezuela also shows a solidarity between much of latin america. i express my most fraternal, congratulations to gustavo petro, on his election is president of columbia. in a historic popular victory, we reiterate willingness to advance the development of bilateral relations for the well being of our peoples. we wish the best for the families of the brotherly country who have trusted, entrust in their proposals in programs of life with peace, welfare, and rights. as part of our caribbean america,

let's continue strengthening the reality our people expect and deserve. your victory validates democracy and ensures a path towards an integrated latin america in this time when we demand maximum solidarity, non brotherly peoples. it's a joy for latin america. we will work together for the unity of our continent and the challenges of a rapidly changing world. this signifies that the latin american countries, primarily central and south america of course, have come together to assure, in an era of sovereignty, getting rid of the spanish crown wasn't enough. now you have an attempt to get rid of neo colonialism to get rid of this american u. s. american hold on the continent. and so you're going to see an intensified relationship when it comes to economics between these latin american countries, as well as more open relationships with china and russia. political analyst,

carlos santa maria says the new leader has everything to reshape and transform columbia. and it's important that such a progressive has one this is remedial here we're the colombian, people are very happy because this, when is progress for the people? socialism is almost never been explained here. they always point with the thinking about things related to it. so to dictate his etc, but left wing politics mostly about social justice, the state using it's to do what it has to do to help people to transform the well for this country. and so improving the lives of its people into pensions, education, healthcare, which is presently all privatized. it is very possible that the new government will be an exemplary government, will act according to the constitution. it will follow the laws and the concept of dignity in columbia. when there is a solution, when there is a will to move forward. when all legal means a used to work with communities who groups that have been in conflict, how come when the method of smart dialogue is used in all this possible to like agreement between old political half is effective?

the peace process takes place when that is public justice. that's the case. this process will move forward. absolutely. and it is also important to compromise all countries of our america in order to unite the continent and to warm multiple with system. yes, it was until recently people in the west could choose between heating and eating, but now on elected officials are telling them to sacrifice the to for ukraine as nato chief young sultan berg calls on the west to do more, forgive despite rising food and fuel prices we must prepare for the fact that it could take years. we must not let up in supporting ukraine even if the costs are high. not only for military support, but also because of rising energy and food prices. stoughton berg has called on people from the west to forget about the growing cost of living and focus on nato's policy of back in queue with europe already feeding into its winter gas applies,

which are meant to be topped up during the summer for the cold period. that's why germany shows russian gas during chancellor marco's rain, as she explained together to protect our german economy, chose to supply gas, read pipelines from russia because he was, he cannot be cheaper than liquefied natural gas from saudi arabia, guitar and the united arab emirates. and later from the united states, i did not believe that change could be achieved through trade, but it was possible to establish ties, especially with nuclear power. rayner ross 1st geopolitical em most and chairman of the lindau branch of the alternative for germany party is concerned about western politicians, irresponsibility. what will happen next winter if we have shortage of gas and yeah, the flaps will remain quite chilly then maybe the situation can change and the questions will rise to whether the politicians have really

represented widely the interest of the people. or if they have just insisted in their standpoints without any willingness to negotiate about a tentative so you sions, diplomatic, so you shouldn't the mainstream profession. of course, if that the only delivery of more and more legal wrapped them shall help. and i can only see users when we follow this concept, really only we will news on behalf of western europe and above all, your brain will lose more lives. and of course, the battlefields in your brain will be devastated even more with the west sanctions on russia. showing no signs of abating italian tourism

workers are the latest to cry foul with the industry on the verge of collapse. due to restrictions on travel for rush and tourists. industry managers complain that a disrupted summer season may lead to great economic losses. bessie dell also have in the butler the when you will complain about the absence of russian tourist this year and tourism. the economy for us is telling us in facility and it is very important for me. they be absence of russians is weighing heavily through many close breach umbrellas, empty seat, and little work is being done due to lack of russian tourists go into these empty spaces, were never there and other years have been many consolations and hotel bookings and we are experiencing a sharp decline was done over the last year. more did you started this year? there is a real ban on russian tourist to italy. we're very sorry about all this and we still do not understand why there cannot be a peaceful solution, but he's russian. tourism is important, tourists from russia spend

a lot of money and their absence is a great penalty for us. because as you see, there are many beaches empty or the but we hope they will come back and drove. i do not understand why we continue to penalize the russian people who would like to go on vacation and travel. these sanctions are having the opposite effect. i'm ok, but i'm sorry for that. and if you build a revenue from tourist, from russia, is expected to fall significantly with visitors from the country. traditionally major buyers of luxury goods on their travels. during 2021 russians spent over $9000000000.00 overseas. italy's government seems a little bothered by the law says instead choosing to supply ukraine with expensive weapons action that infuriates tourism workers. president of sicily, summer beach managers, is calling for an urgent solution. so the main thing to say, what is the europe is giving do not help. we must instead use dialogue and build dialogue. we have suffered so many wars. i tell you that we must engage in dialogue

and fuel the ukraine conflict with weapons given by europe. we should sit down and find the right economic agreements and mor good dialogue, avoid confrontation. all of this, penalize is everyone that even as europeans in air defense alliance of israel, the u. s. and some arab states has already helped for iranian attacks. that's according to israel's defense minister ben guns, who hopes for further support from washington when it comes to iran. or the pact was created and made it western concerns over iran's military capability and nuclear program. to run however, has stress that it only has 3 percent of the world nuclear share. israel has also opposed to the restoration of the iran nuclear deal of 2015 under which to would curve its program for sanctions relief. meanwhile, a report in the wall street journal claims israel is involved in a series of covert operations aimed at disrupting t. ron's program. site mohammed mirandi a professor at ron university,

believes the alliance will not break from not really of real alliance because the arab public opinion and regional public opinion is deeply opposed to the apartheid regime in israel and saudi arabia and the amaran's have shown themselves completely incapable of fighting against yemen, even though they starved the country, they surrounded the country and they have full support from western countries, nato countries. so it really doesn't mean much to iran, be united states, saudi arabia, there's railey regime. all of them were allies in the just because they're coming out of the closet. does it mean that there's any major change in the dynamics

in the region? the only thing that will happen is that when things become more out in the open public opinion, it becomes more important that does it for me this hour, but stay with us throughout the day. as we bring you more news and commentary from moscow. this is our international, glad to check with with

to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race, his on offenders, very dramatic or development only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk a
