7:04 pm
migration asylum policy has been a huge source of talk. stacy st between a member states. that's why the says, this is a historic day on the specials are claiming, it's not only a good deal for the but also for mike woods, although that's something which refugee writes campaigners are repeating under the reforms. so migrants and asylum seekers would be more evenly distributed across the block. that's something which member states on the sides of the you were most migrants arrive, for example, a to a spade in greece. something that they really welcome. they also welcome to the fact that you can choose which refuse to take and where my friends would simply have to cough up on some cash if they don't want to take the blame. no, there is another more controversial reform is part of his plan. and under that, migrants would be divided at the border according to how likely it is that their a silent applications would be a granted. that means that those from the country seat of safer would be processed more quickly in special detention centers and refugee rights competitors say that's essentially watering, starting the right to asylum under especially concerns that families with children

are involved in not club, no overall, these reforms still need final approval from the legislatures and they're not likely to kick in for a couple of years. so this still may be some political roadblocks. ahead of you betcha, here in germany saxon me, i'm house has become the 1st states to require new citizens to recognize israel's right to exist. 17 people from libya and syria have received naturalization certificates. after making the pledge the states into and administer told dw wipers requirements being introduced, escaped at all. i'm guess. the point to stop, we can use the process of naturalization as an occasion to bring this up to about. anyone who wants to become a to a citizen, must submit to our laws must submit to the constitution. but of course, they must also be aware of the special historic responsibility germany has and positive. this special historic responsibility is the fact that this is dominique stats because all to recognize israel's right to exist. that may not be the case
