quicker. also a so called solidarity making is means that asylum seekers will be distributed more evenly among e u. member states. countries that refuse to take in migrants will have to pay money to those that do and here's what the president of the european parliament were about to minnesota. had to say about this agreement that today is to leave a historic day. i am surrounded by colleagues who have not slept all days and nights. my colleagues have managed to find the balance between solidarity and responsibility across old files. it was not easy, but it only makes this achievement even more importance. we have defied the arts and proven that to you we're can deliver on the issue that much as citizens dw brussels correspondents, rosie birch had told me more about what this reform means for people who seek
2:03 pm
asylum in the u. what we've heard from you officials here really describing this as historic and as long as i've been covering this year in brussels, it has been such a device as topic among e u. member states. so you officials claiming this is a big success. on the other hand, i've had a campaign or is writing to me telling they think this is a big failure on flight because the most controversial part of this reform is about separating migrants when they arrive, according to how likely they are to be granted asylum. so those come hailey from countries which have low recognition rates. so country scene is safer, for example, pakistan or morocco would be sent to a switzer procedure including being detained in detention centers at the border. and that also includes controversially children who are with families and that is something that campaigners are really speaking out against. and i asked the officials of like, based in a press conference and they pointed instead to the options to seek legal advice. and the fact that they were caps and the number of people that can be processed
2:04 pm
through they speak to your message. there's also a big over form going underway, which is about how migrants and asylum seekers are distributed across this your opinion. because of course, most people arise to coastal border countries like greece, like a sweet and like spade. but that means that those countries have been asking for more help on what they would call solidarity from other u. member states are under this reform, there would be a more equitable distribution of migrant. some asylum seekers across the book and those who were few stick and more microbes and asylum seekers would simply have to cough up on cash and not something which is also important for germany. because although geographically it's not one of the key countries of 1st arrival, it is the country which has the highest number of asylum applications in the home. big of a problem is these for the you give us an idea of the scale of illegal migration into the you as well. we know that last year, asylum applications reached the highest level since the peaks that were seen in
2:05 pm
20152016 arrived. and thanks to the full of the war in syria. no, that means that it's not only been rising numbers of people arriving to in your opinion, shores to seek safety in many cases. although, of course, not all of those applying here, in fact, are considered to be people that need or granted shelter a refugee spaces. but also means that it's been moving up the political agenda here in europe. and it's something which we know is important to lots of voters and something which is policy makers are trying to prove that they can in fact deliver on. so we're having a scale of a problem in terms of more people arriving. and of course, they're hard. we should not forget, this also means people risking their lives services that people have trimmed or gone missing in the attempt to reach your source just this year. so this is also something policy makers say they're trying to address. they say you official say this will help us, but of course campaigners on the other hand are saying that in fact, this reform will only serve to make in some ways the situation of the porters worse . now that you mentioned earlier that there was some disco, the country such as hungry have always refused to take in migraines,
2:06 pm
all pay money to other countries. how did they come on board? well, they simply didn't come on board. that's because, unlike in some, is policy areas which required unanimous backing of all the u. member states. this area migration asylum policy only requires what's called a qualified majority. so most new countries representing the majority of the population. and what that means is that during the road recruiting the st hungry for example, simply refusing to implement this reform and ending up ending taken to court by the european commission we have seen that happen in the past. so that's just one idea of the kind of political roadblocks which may late had here. okay, splendid rosie budget in brussels there. thank you very much, rosie tom. now to have a look at some of the of the new stories making headlines today. its hopes that growing for another seas find gaza president as a castle says, as well as open to another pause to allow for the release of hostages seized during the
