is that politicians are robbing columbia by the ton. they are struggling and it's normal to keep stealing and continue treating us like useful idiots. let us not allow that in order to thoroughly break with that. on june 19th, we need to have a vote that exceeds 12000000 votes to really have a clear and forceful mandate in while what we're going to add no, i was, and it is interesting because he uses very simple words. he uses very simple, straightforward messages to connect with people, but also they are all the 2 main things that da da candidates agree with. one is to restart the relationship with venezuela, both trade and diplomatic relations. and the 2nd one is they both propose to have an eel and peace process right ahead after the jumping to the seat of president. so i think those are the 3 topics that date sort of touch upon constantly and have been touching upon in the, in the political company. all right, so again, i can add and yes, go ahead. go ahead. sorry, i just wanted to add, and i think it's useful maybe to see a concret

the columbia affected by violence through decades. so varner, very briefly there laura and then elizabeth savannah. go ahead. yes, she's been saying that she wants to implement the piece process, and i think that the difference between now and 4 years ago is that that the implementation is still the question, but that there is no longer need like to sign up his agreement. however, the eel is still some very important actors of needs to sign or is start up. his process was all been through has not been very of sort of a broad on saying he's ideas on how exactly he will manage to do on, you know, in approach with the eliana. let shadow response with low a thank use of on allow a go ahead. so i think the biggest, the biggest thing about this whole paper is that he, he, he understands the arm conflict and he has been supportive of the, of the piece process throughout one of the most damage is damaging, think of things of the last 4 years has been the government's lack of an impulse in pushing forward the peace agreement. they didn't destr

is that politicians are robbing columbia by the ton. they are struggling and it's normal to keep stealing and continue treating us like useful idiots. let us not allow that in order to thoroughly break with that. on june 19th, we need to have a vote that exceeds 12000000 votes to really have a clear and forceful mandate in what you, what we're going to add. no i was and it's is interesting because he uses very simple words. he uses very simple, straightforward messages to connect with people. but also they are all the 2 main things that da da candidates agree with. one is to reestablish the relationship with venezuela, both trade and diplomatic relations. and the 2nd one is they both propose to have anneal and peace process right ahead after the jumping to the seat of president. so i think those are the 3 topics, a date, sort of touch upon constantly and have been touching upon in the, in the political company. i said, can, i can add and yes, go ahead, go ahead. sorry, i just wanted to add, and i think it's useful maybe to see a concret

back in columbia. government's in columbia are useless, and we need something new. and that's petro because the left has never ruled in columbia, we need better health care education pension. most colombians are concerned about the economic situation. poverty rates have stored under the government of iran looking who is not allowed to run for reelection inside a relative economic growth. columbia continues to be one of the most unique world countries in the world that phoenix activated by the and then again, that's why many people are asking for change something that both candidates to celebrate dental and old man. this i promise thing to bring about. but it never been a different way o m. i will be through. he's a former gorilla, and more recently the mayor of buddha, he hoped to fight poverty and prioritize the environment. his opponent, his role for them, and i 77 year old construction business man who has been compared to donald trump. he says he wants to reform the political system and fight corruption noise. so, 6 years ago, columbia signed a historic peace ag

he was the mayor of got among that a small city in columbia. and essentially his success is largely attributed to the use of social media. and, you know, speaking out against corruption, promising to punish the mainstream politicians, you know, who have put columbia into the situation in which it is today. all right, thank you so much. arlene. take care for speaking to us from bogo talk. thank you. a memorial service has been held for al jazeera journalist, shitty and block lay. she was shot in the head by is really forces while on assignment and jeanine. last month, family and friends gathered at a church and occupied east. jerusalem, members of the international community have condemned her killing and they continue to call for an independent investigation. a barclay was with al jazeera for 25 years, covering the story of the israeli occupation. she was known as the voice of palestine . bernard smith attended the service and occupied east through solem. oh, the. this is a memorial sharina. i'm actually home town and nina knocking 40 days sinc

but this definitely is a new day and columbia politics. and we will see what is governments will bring. yeah, we sure will. and where you are right now and book ira, amanda alexandra hernandez conceded defeat just a short time ago. what is the mood like amongst his supporters there? yes, absolutely. that most of the people that were here expecting their results already last we saw long faces people crying people with sad or angry with these results. obviously, a lot of the people here also were looking for change that the peculiarity of this election was the fact that for the 1st time there were 2 candidates that were promising change that they didn't come from the traditional establishment that has been running columbia for decades. are forever, if you ask many of them, some seem to be hopeful of the possibility of a pittsville government either still are fearful of what having the left is the empower mean, bad, bad, lot of people here saying that they, that the country will now go the way of a neighboring get of any swear lefties to rede

william lavelli live in columbia. government's in columbia are useless, and we need something new. and that's petro because the left has never ruled in columbia. we need better health care, education and pension is most colombians are concerned about the economic situation . poverty rates have soared under the government of the randall k who is not allowed to run for reelection. in spite of relative economic growth. columbia continues to be one of the most unequal countries in the world, exacerbated by the pandemic. and that's why many people here are asking for change something that both candidates will follow up with it all and all for man, this are probably thing to bring about. but he never been different way. and what i will bit though is a former gorilla, and more recently than me your of border. he hopes to fight poverty and prioritize the environment. his opponent is rolled for a man this a 77 year old construction business man who has been compared to donald trump. he says he wants to reform the political system and fight corruption noise. and about 6 years ago, we assigne

we want to columbia through it's to diversity, to be one, columbia. not to columbus. so not. and in order for it to be one columbia, in this enormous diversity and different colors which we, we need love and then be the political understanding, the politics of love and say, politics of understanding the politics of dialog, dialog, politics of understanding when the other and it can be seen if you change also signifies they need welcoming hope that the possibility of opening a future would be changed means to open opportunities for all colombians in the hope you've got to change means that this hope can be counted and fill all corners of the nation territory, that is in order that hope is in the hearts it means that the government of hope has arrived and then okay for this i have to thank you. firstly you, let me let me live there better. so now the millions of them is people who throughout the country during days and months under the sun, under the rain. i don't want to use the boat to speak to folks who will be with the people can extending their hand to those who didn't bel

i change a major shift in columbia on politics. i mean, this country has been rolled for decades for mainly to political ah parties. and over the time they became an elite, and that's why people blame them for not having sold the main problems of the country for not having a stopped drug trafficking is security violence, gary de groups. and that's why, i mean, is this this counter with this political a lead that the made kilometers last night vote for the 1st time for a leftist government. so of course, gustavo better is going to bring more social policies, the left wing on government, but it goes beyond and we have to think off his running mate, france yet, marcus, and now next, the vice president of columbia. she, i mean, 1st and foremost, as she was a victim of the war, columbia has gone through a civil war, acre unarmored conflict for more than 60 year sent france jamarcus. next vice president was displays the by the war. so she experienced a war fierce fan and she had, she can bring policies closer to those victims. now she's

all france marquez has become columbia. the 1st black female vice president. she's a single mother and environmental activists who's challenged mining companies in her home region. yet all good, i said, i want to thank all colombians who have given their life for this moment. all our brothers and sisters who have unfortunately been killed in this country, men to the youth who have been killed and disappeared to the women who have been raped and who are disappeared to all of them. they are with us in this historic moment. no. here we give them thanks. thanks for having taken the path. thank you for planting the seed of resistance and hope that by theresa bo has more from bogota when it's definitely a historic day for many people in columbia. we were just fair, where we will double paper weighs and there were thousands and thousands of people taken to the screen showing up here to show their support thing that this is the time for real change in columbia for profound reforms that will improve people's lives in this country, our country that has been at war for m

every electoral year in columbia is marked by an increase of violence. why? because for many sectors in the country, values by illness is also a way of doing politics. so we're the time over the time people get used to eat. so now the fear of new attacks remains. but as i said, it's hard to be said. but columbus had gotten used to it so they know how to live with it. what is the most pressing challenge for the president elect? and i understand he wants to stop or try to occur till the cocaine exporting industry, by convincing farmers to grow different crops and not to make money with making okay. i mean, is that realistic? it hasn't worked before. why should we think it will work? now? he hasn't worked before. it doesn't seem it is going to work. now if the state doesn't invest money in the rural areas, people are going to continue the with the business of drug because is a means more profitable. so the state needs to be there. but beyond of these problems, i think that the 1st main challenge, gustavo better is going to face is to unify columbia's. i mean, th

the former gorilla and current senator will be columbia's 1st left his leader. he's edged out, his former opponent or his opponent rather former mayor, a millionaire rodolfo hernandez. heteros when marks a drastic change in presidential politics for a country that has long marginalized left for its perceived association with decades of insurgency. let's cross over now to bogota, and speak to d. w 's. johan ramirez. so gustavo petro has come out on top in the vote. what helps him get the leg up on hernandez? he had a very successful electric company, very successful communication company, because actually he presented himself asset renovation as a change as a, a break. we continue to by the truth is that gustavo better has been doing politics in columbia for the last 30 years. he wasn't the congress 1st thing he was diplomatic, thank you was may your or bullet that one of the main jobs in politics in columbia? now he's again in congress. now. he becomes a president, but he has very been very successfully presenting himself as a renovation and brought it up on dai

the former gorilla and current senator will be columbia's 1st left . his leader, he's edged out his opponent, former mayor and millionaire rudolfo hernandez, petras when march a drastic change in presidential politics for a country that has long marginalized the left for its pursuit association with decades of insurgency. now, earlier i asked e w. 's johan ramirez, how petrol was able to pull off the surprising victory he had a very successful electron dump, any very successful communication campaign, because actually he presented himself as said renovation as a change as a, a break. we continue to by the truth, is that gustavo better has been doing politics in columbia for the last 30 years. he wasn't the congress 1st thing, he was diplomatic. then he was mayor a bullet that one of the main jobs in politics in columbia. now he's again in the congress now. he becomes a president, but he, he has very been very successful presenting himself as a renovation. and father did sap on daily hiking. was also a former gary. yes. so he was very also successful in

ah, victory, and historic moment for columbia. as it votes in its 1st ever left us, lida, former rebel, gustavo petro, has vowed to launch profound social and economic change lay story annoy. well, we are writing history at this moment. ocoee, a new history for columbia, only for latin america, less dos and for the world, jonas, they thought us yellow, a new history because undoubtedly was that what has happened to day with those $11000000.00 voters as a chain esl come. what is coming is a real change, a key of fundamental change. yes. oh gambia that old gambiola al, he had cho defeated another maverick candidate, full man man and millionaire in tulsa hernandez. hernandez was gathered a lot of support for his candidacy on tick tock, promising to reduce wasteful government spending, and to go after corrupt officials. his concession speech employed petro to do the same let's say, well, doctor was 5 hopes that gustavo petro will know how to leave the country, that he will be loyal to his words, against corruption, and that he will no

so this is a historic election for columbia, 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 left, but for the entire country of columbia that has been trying to get rid of this norco regime for decades. for the longest time. columbia has endured civil conflicts from the military police on civilians and from us backed governments. and so this when 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 that will allow folemi to be a true republic and eventually at democracy. and so this also signifies an end to the huge us control of columbia. let's remember that colombia is the only natal partner in latin america for the longest time. the united states has exerted control via military bases and the framing of military collette colombians in the military. and so this marks a shift away from that towards a more sovereign state of colombia, and a

let's go to from al fernandez, was outside the primers office in columbia. were the meetings are happening, what are you hearing about what's happening at the talks middle right now the focus is very much debt restructuring. i mean, it has been all the way in terms of all of those loans, a trill anchor has it has to a present, a proper credible proposal as to how it's going to pay back those loans. and that is the sort of vital thing in terms of these talks with the international monetary fund. obviously the fund does not provide monies to countries in trouble to pay off their debts. they're obviously loans and things like that. but it needs to 1st be assured that sri lanka has the proper plan to go forward. and what we're hearing one source of the prime minister's office told me a short while ago that debt restructuring. the sort of mechanism that trolanda is offering to adopt is very much a, one of the top priorities in this engagement with the i am if team now they are having talks in the building behind me, the official office of the prime minister head

and columbia also chose the military option. they elaborated the most extensive planned for battling drug trafficking, plan colombia, $4000000000.00 over 5 years. hundreds of american advisors revamped the colombian army bolstered by these new means columbia turned away from its initial goal. the main traffickers, paramilitaries allies of the state, were not targeted. the plan against drugs became a war plan. bogota port everything it had into fighting its main enemy. the fought gorillas, active, and nearly half of the country is a c dot young st. cleaner. empower the list, albert made ice in pearson, and that, that he thought you were going to have that he thought he only can see to call and get a vote windows in which as i've seen, double check with this is kimberly garcia. you emily got muttered she don't august 1000. you feeling a little more bank? your edition once a backlog, as you go. i got america, but our last was, it will be a bracket blush. it was to show a 100 that milos, yet the dirty war waged fall from the cameras

and columbia likes a new president in historic vote. the former gorilla and political wild card is now set to run the polarized nation, and he's promised to shake up the country. ah, mary tilton, welcome to the program in france, president manuel my calls alliance is lost. it's absolute majority in parliament to link parliamentary elections. that's according to early estimates. as counting continues across the country, my calls allies will likely emerge as the biggest party in the new national assembly. but with an absolutely jordy of 289 seats, the french prison is expected to face challenges and pushing his reform agenda. ford is main rivals. a new left wing alliance led by john luc berlin. shawn fell short of 200 seats. according to early estimates, no earlier d w spoke to lisa lewis in paris. she explained with the loss of an absolute majority in the parliament. no means from her call. while i'm on my call, we'll have to change his policies. really, it is quite certain that certain of a sudden reforms that he's planning, such as, fo

ah, colombian asked ace in columbia. in the mid nineties, coca fields covered whole stretches of land fall from the cities which were now on the high surveillance drug traffickers sought refuge in the jungle. the mountains well out of the states reach william by you represent this amusement. danny le held up here super complex as well and give him base to dylan, mulch of berlin with the golden. we've got you in 30 year e killer, won't you throw a hook on to ledford? very thought you. she, i said a pain, as his thumb was dead, mingled blue bottle after the retort, you thought of e h, which was he to london? why? boy u. t. o, in these remote areas, a modern day far west land belong to whoever had the means to take it. large landowners purged columbia's land of it's wealth, gemstones, minerals, oil rare woods. to extend their operations. these large families, created militias that would move populations by force. colombians called the paramilitaries with coca crops, booming in the countryside. drug traffickers also out fitt

., ~' properly how will that go down in columbia? ~' ., columbia? i think if we look at the teace columbia? i think if we look at the peace agreement _ columbia? i think if we look at the peace agreement that _ columbia? i think if we look at the peace agreement that was - columbia? i think if we look at the peace agreement that was done i columbia? i think if we look at the peace agreement that was done in 2016, two of the principal components of the agreement, land reform, and drug reform were not fully done by the government of the president either because of their own political willingness to do it or because it simply was too complicated. what i think is that he's going to attempt to pass land reforms and on the drug reform issue he's going to have a lot of problems with the united states the columbia policy is viewed through a south florida lens and already senators like marco rubio and rick scott has said they would not approve a single dollarfor said they would not approve a single dollar for columbia said they would not approve a single dol

i ain't columbia lawson going for i. e. and last, but i'm really that is 8 years and you live friendship. oliver loaded little than it just a minute. you know, can't go with you much activities. you might act although our body odor like last have only begun columbia global and won't be sto my now me is that me and was wanting to go to upa. uniformly got injured at the moment. whenever unable to pull he up go. now i go to the new permit bottles, e for a bit of sympathy on fully begun then you've got a minute thinking aloud as you understand how many gun in the early 2, thousands, the paramilitaries were in the same position as pablo escobar, 20 years earlier. denisia we've been been feeling and senior salvatore monkwood before the congress, one of their leaders, salvatore mancuso defended the role of his men. a few years later, salvatore mancuso, nicknamed triple 0, would admit to the murder of 300 people. i didn't want a lap. last name. you seen it? employ garcia. gail baum police are property of the global us. okay. what o

is this a new era for columbia regardless of who wins? definitely are completely. i mean this is the 1st boast to conflict election in which b or security issues related to the internal arm conflict that columbia managed to . and 6 years ago it's taking place. ready i mean, beforehand we never had the policy of being able to elect a leftist leader, one that will have the largest bench in the country. congress, both in the senate and in the lower chamber, been definitely the issues they, the nature of the candidates are completely different. what, what we saw in the past during the conflict 2 years. so what does this mean for latin american politics? will you see a gustavo, a little the most likely candidate is, will, will align itself himself with these are leaders of the nationalistic left, this type of ethics, latin america, rather than being a social democratic left like in europe or other countries. the world is much more prone to protection, to work for the indigenous and ethnic communities. ah, that will be a 1st for columbia, but it will be also a 1st in the

a mock has become columbia as 1st black female vice president. she's a single mother and environmental activist who's challenged mining companies in the whole region. you're all good. i said, i want to thank all colombians who have given their life for this moment. all our brothers and sisters who have unfortunately been killed in this country, men to the youth who have been killed and disappeared to the women who have been raped and who are disappeared to all of them. they are with us in this historic moment. now here we give them, thanks. thanks for having taken the path. thank you for planting the seed of resistance and hope that by theresa ball has more from bo guitar. well, it's definitely a historic day for many people in columbia. we were just bear with double paper weighs, and there were thousands and thousands of people taken to the st showing up here to show their support thing that this is the time for real change in columbia for profound reforms that will improve people's lives in this country. a country that has read at war for many,

nick: for decades columbia has been the u.s.'s strongest regional ally, the militaries work together. also, the largest regional trading partner. they teamed up to fight with the u.s. calls the fight on drawers, -- drugs, but petro calls that a failure and wants to focus on climate change. >> columbia and the u.s. have tried to suppress coca and the creation and export of cocaine. shifting away fromhat and planting another strategy that is unproven and unknown is going to create friction. nick: another change, petro's embrace of the left. he met with hugo chavez before his death in 2013. petro hopes to create a progressive partnership with nicolas maduro and other regional leftists. >> he has been close to the venezuelan dictatorship. i thk he will play that side from now. nick: francisco calderon was a former vice president and says petro is on the opposite side of the history from the u.s. >> columbia will be more on the side of autocracies than democracies. it will put an end to a close relationship between columbia and the u.

william assoni that in columbia, governments in columbia are useless, and we need something new. and that's petro, because the left has never ruled in columbia. we need better health care, education and pension is most colombians are concerned about the economic situation . poverty rates have soared under the government of yvonne bouquet, who is not allowed to run for reelection. in spite of relative economic growth, columbia continues to be one of the most unequal countries in the world that feed exacerbated by the pandemic. and that's why many people here are asking for change something that both candidates and i will be fiddle and old man. this are probably thing to bring about, but it never very different way. oh, that will be through is a former gorilla and more recently than me bold that. he hopes to fight poverty and prioritize the environment. his opponent is role for man, this 77 year old construction business man who has been compared to donald trump. he says he wants to reform the political system and fight corruption noise. so, 6 years ago, columbia signed a historic

some something that crucial for columbia the economy. he's promising to fight hunger and inequality. and this is a discourse that inspires many in columbia today, mostly because of what's been going on in this country in the past years, doing different demick horizon poverty, right, and inequality. but the big challenge that paper of faith is today is that he's passed, continues to in a way alley and a to many who cannot forgive his role of being a left wing gorilla country where the left has been, historically ss a been associated with the left wing rella, so we've been talking to some of the people here and many are saying that they're afraid that if federal wins this election, that columbia could become the next to venezuela. and that's a serious concern in this country that has been millions of been if we length flea and the economic crisis that's happening in benefits today. so if it makes it to the presidency, it would be historic because it would be the 1st time that a left wing leader makes it to the president in columbia. in the

and columbia also chose the military option. they elaborated the most extensive planned for battling drug trafficking, plan colombia, $4000000000.00 over 5 years. hundreds of american advisors revamped the colombian army bolstered by these new means columbia turned away from its initial goal. the main traffickers, paramilitaries allies of the state were not targeted. the plan against drugs became a war plan. bogota, port, everything it had into fighting its main enemy, the fought gorillas, active, and nearly half of the country is sir. oh, seeds us young st. glenna in power. the list. albert made ice in pearson, and at that he thought you were going to have that he thought he only can see to call and get over. but meadows, in which, as i've seen double check with the cisco model casually, i drew emily got muttered she does august 1000. you feel a little more bang for your dish and quite a buckle on bishop. you're going to go to medical, but are us which it will be a bracket bluff. it was to show a hot on that. that is milos. yet

so how likely is petros election likely to change columbia's political landscape is a major change. it's remembered that his victory represents the 1st time that the left to wink takes power in the country. columbia has been enrolled for debt, gets for mainly to political parties, and this is a major change he has promised this left wing of policies saw shell of policies, and there are lots of expectations on his government that will start on august. so in a little bit more than a month or i sort of kids club is going through a shift to the left. but at the same time, both candidates ran on platforms rejecting the political establishment. so why are colombian so dissatisfied with their government? because as i said, that colombia was rule for mainly to political parties for decades. and during decades they didn't, they weren't able to tackle the main problems of the country. columbia went ah, into a civil war for more than 50 years. columbia was have been fighting against direct traffic and i'm in the golden age of drug trafficking and via the government. so in this contra one and a

the former rebel fights, it becomes the left wing president in columbia. history could be traditionally you asked satellite country now expected to drift away from washington. bit a bit with sorry, will welcome to you. you're watching aussie international with the latest world headlines. it's good to happy with it. i was thought with the latest to, from a dumbass way, ukraine's military has resumed. it's heavy shelling of the city of don. yes. local officials, they cubes forces have been firing artillery at residential areas. dozens of kilometers away from the fighting on the front lines. ah, it's under a slight damage is proposed to the aftermath has mondays attacks in which any 4 people have reported it being wounded, including a child. there were nude shelling comes after 19 were killed, and more than a 100 wounded in a don. yes, republic. last week, as a result of the explaining attacks local authorities of accused camps troops of using shells and rockets recently supplied by nato countries. correspondence from on causeway isn't on yet with this report

we just saw a caravan of cars and motorcycles with better supporters waiving the columbia flags. and so far, so and so forth. and obviously again, they're a small number here, but they are coming out because this isn't the story election among the supporters of rodolfo hernandez. instead there were long faces even anger. we saw people crying because they were expecting their candidate to wait and really so i think it was a surprise for the majority of them that instead pedro came in 1st and among them i think there are really 2 groups of people. one are the ones that the fear, the government of gustavo fair through that fear, the possibility that a left is government could turn columbia into another venezuela, into a country, and tour boil over with economy can and, and so in an economy can social crisis. but there are another group of people here that instead the are saying that they're hoping that goose double play that. okay. and bring some of the change that he's promising to do that, all sort of those. but man, this was promising to do and they were happy that with foot man,

columbia. we were just, there were several ways and there were thousands and thousands of people taken to the st showing up there to show their support. saying that this is a time for real change in columbia for profound reform that will improve people's lives in this country. a country that has read a war for many, many years, even to a peace agreement was signed with the left wing rebels. the park conflict continued to affect many, many parts of the country. listening to the president elected looks double bit there with very, very interesting methods, talking about leaving behind how, what, how important, what change means right now is leaving hate behind that. the other thing that he says is that, that this is going to be a government of peace and that peace means in this country, social justice and environmental justice. and faith has been speaking the reform that he wants to implement, how it's necessary to we think environmental policies rethink oil and gas exploitation in columbia to put

and so this also signifies an end to the huge us control of columbia. 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 to shift away from that towards a more sovereign state of columbia. what kind of reaction have we seen so far? so the reaction has been absolutely palpable with emotion and joy 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, welf
