NIDIA: Good morning, I am Nidia, who will be accompanying you in the development of this newscast.
KAREN: Good morning. Today is Wednesday, April 17, 2019. Welcome to the news, Karen greets you.
NIDIA: We begin with the news that has captured attention in recent days. An important vote for the climate. Local officials from across the country will have the opportunity to vote on new energy efficiency standards for buildings. But few tend to vote, which could jeopardize the outcome.
KAREN: One of the great achievements of politics in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was the spread of effective building codes that made our buildings safer and more resistant, and cities less likely to catch fire. It requires that the average building built today have better windows and insulation than the old buildings with drafts, so that a new building wastes less energy during its lifetime.
JULIO BARRERA: This is Karen. Making buildings more efficient not only saves consumers money, it is also crucial in the fight against global warming, since it reduces the use of fossil fuels.
NIDIA: We are a few months away from an election, but the forces are already moving so that this vote goes the wrong way. If history repeats itself this year, the energy policy of the United States may be influenced by less than 500 people.
JULIO BARRERA: We hope that the best decision was made, for the future of all, to improve the care of the environment and reduce pollution.

On one hand, in Venezuela, inflation has increased and, the daily life for low-income families that have always depended on a salary, has made that it be difficult to maintain their priority needs, thus generating the abandonment of their homes to go to other countries in search of alternatives to meet their basic and individual needs for their other family. This has caused that Colombia lives today the biggest migration phenomenon "in its history" because of the Venezuelan crisis and the bad administration of the government.
Migration has become a strong social problem in Colombia because, in the beginning it was not so remarkable, but as time goes, in cities such as Cúcuta, Bucaramanga, Bogotá, which are main capitals and mainly in the warm earth towns are the most affected populations by this humanitarian crisis and where more Venezuelan children, women, and men have arrived; who are forced to sleep on the platforms, in the parks because of the economic situation in their country. These people are surviving from what good-hearted people give them when they ask for alms at traffic lights, in the streets or selling sweets, in the same way they work on whatever they get; severely affecting employment for natives, because employers take advantage of the situation they hire them in exchange for a place to live, or for food.
