this so that a transmission be a cold on russia for protection. so do we need to be worried about more russian troops being invited into one of ukraine's neighbors? or is this just a little local difficulty? i'm feel gail in by then, and this is the day the rush is war against ukraine has the norm was people cautious on every aspect of one of us security. i think security guarantees that were important not only for your brain, for all the neighbors home, although i, because of the russia russia the sold, i'd be waging hi, feed war against small nova nato is stopping li, trying to move moldova into literally a 2nd to ukraine. as long as the ocean armies on the left bank of the denise to this place is in the occupation that would be peace. hey, anytime soon. also on the day support for the lens agency

for palestinian refugees is drying up after i is ready claims that several unreal workers were involved in the how must, how about tax the organizations fugette now look sent out. there's fear, there's anxiety, and it fosters and deepen so sense of hopelessness that's already present. so we're now starting to see refugees show up in our offices and yelling at our staff and great frustration and despair. welcome to the day, the multiplan breakaway region of trends. next year, as asked moscow for protection, the pro russian staff protest accused the pro west and mold open government and waging economic warfare against the tensions between the 2 neighbors have been rising ever since russia's invasion of ukraine. the self proclaimed republic of trans netra is a tiny sliver of land located between ukraine and both dover and falls within

russia. sphere of influence. they broke away from the video and the collapse of the soviet union in the early 19 ninety's, but isn't internationally recognized as well. the request for protection style show its off the request for outright. i'm excited by russia that moldova, and many in the west had fared back in 2006 tons of history, actually organized a referendum and joining the russian federation, which met with the over well with overwhelming support. it's more than 97 percent voting in favor. however, moscow chose not to recognize that most didn't act on the request. on the has the semester claims that each waging economic wolf and on transmit stress and coal, the separatists appeal for protection propaganda relations between mold the vantage break. my region, a complicated by the role of russia. moscow has around 1500 trips publicly stationed in trends, new streets, what he calls

a peacekeeping mission. multiple government says it's military presence is a legitimate and it's cold for the withdrawal of russian forces. it's repeatedly accused the criminal of trying to destabilize the country rush. i haven't yet responded to the requests for protection, but it accused the west of tried to turn mulder into a 2nd to new crime. is russian, a foreign ministry, a spokes person? there is a car over at the with nato is dublin lee trying to mold the republic into a 2nd ukraine. contrary to the mood of the majority of the motors in population. and apparently without thinking about the consequences of these for the country and for the region as a whole, they did a unit. so on the sides there put you on bond answer on the drum and council on foreign relations. so welcome to the w a. what spring reported is it based timing break away region of most of which is right next to ukraine has appealed to rush it for protection. could you take us behind that bold statements of facts

a hi. yes, sure it's. it has been a high in terms day and hold on. a run has been following the development some statements from to us, both as so maybe to go some back. where does this come from? and the congress of deputies that took place today comes a lot to as a, on the background of the west and economics to chase turn in the transmission region. and also optimal development native custom just exemption for companies from just missed you, which has talked it's from 1st of january. so now the same custom do just apply for the boss, right? bank of the history of a company. it's in the bank of some history of or so on the grounds of this economic situation. we also see more more developments happening. and then the expectation from this congress, i'm sorry, just to come back to where like i'd like to speak collection on what to expect

about this congress. however, i would actually say that the message this came, was quite month, right. and you did not make reference to the integration of dismissed the invest uh that, uh, what's happened in the congress in 2006. and that the statements also addressed to the state duma. and just the duration consul, another president. and actually it's, it just has more, i will discuss this more really on the worst. and then you can nomics to station in, in the truck this job and also on the best route to of the car institution in the country to put more pressure on them will govern government. okay. and provide stuff to them. right. sorry, yeah. well, i was just gonna say, just, you know, just, just as setting that up yesterday, there was expected to be a call from johnston history for a referendum on joining russia. that's didn't happen today. we have this, this appeal for russian protection. but as you see, this is about the economic situation in both dover and trends next year. now we

have transmit 3 a sandwich between moldova, which it's broken away from them, which is not backed by russia, china. so it's, it's always between moldova and ukraine, which of course russia is currently inviting. is this quote for russian protection, something the why the world therefore needs to pay more attention to i think also the call for us, for the end of the discussion seemed to me that we are over inflated and there was a lot of propaganda. i'll send you the information i'm it also comes as part of the fibers to text or for us to against christmas jam. as so i see these developments. i really need to attract more attention on adjusting his chair and also to get small number 2. and then in the negotiation, russia has already mentioned that they will pay attention to the situation. and

also we will come up and roots time economic support and humanitarian measures for top. but there was no reference to political measures. right. additionally, i think from distance distance times, it's also a message to keep, to be on the agenda for us. so because there is, there is the threshold cost, the cost supplied moldova, and that would be effected by this. ok, so because so as, as you, as far as you can see, then this call, this is a little local difficulties. i can put it best workspace is not likely to feed into what russia is doing in ukraine a. m. i see it's part of the, in the big picture i see pop the for us and just the pollution company and send this information. the situation and well, the volume bridge aisle. we have elections coming up this author and our presidential election and that's the problem into the election. so this situation, it contributes to public disposition. trust this deck has been the playground for

us and does information on tablets of text for years now. and this goes just, i'm decides to this part of the full scale invasion of praying. so i've seen the big picture of this contribution toward just a position in the region. why does information and i see also more initiatives from restaurants to, to contribute to this, this deposition in the concept. so of course, russia has a circle, peace keeping force of around $1500.00 troops in trance next year. what does that he's at doing? who's piece, are they supposed to be keeping? yes, that's a good question. i mean, does this tell us will cost them and use and deployed combust map. and whoever, under us, on the level of peacekeepers was so called dis keepers. it's important to understand that there has been also no rotation uh, interesting, used to and this people are mostly transmits 10 residents,

refresh the mattress and fox sports. right. and they put magically, she asked me, i would also says that this people, i'm not to change enough and that is not enough equipment and motivation also to, to 5 on the restroom side last year or sorry, intrinsic venture to when the, when, when there was information about the potential my biggest ation and trust mr. we also see about the people living trust me. if jeff like i would not to, i would not expect big mobilization from the side of the so called disc kit 1st. okay. so as i say, the geographies. interesting, moldova, on one side, ukraine on the other mold over of course, not a member of the e. u. o nato effect neutrality is enshrined in this constitution, but is trans nice, straight on the radar of eva b, e u, on a. so, i mean,

the sophisticated position is that it supports integration of trust, mr. in a peaceful way. and when we look at their current agreements, the different comprehensive between the agreements of the you at just miss day is also benefiting from me. it's around 70 percent of the business to expos, go to the you countries. therefore, also this is tim, the integration into in the u is also still in the past of most about becoming more attractive for, for attractive for trust. this dental assistant original and benefits of the measures that moved on by his benefits and giving this to god. what concerns natal at it is indeed the emerald of a massive turn. it isn't in its past edition. however, what's interesting and then you speak through the strategic neutrality is not mentioned anymore. and i mean, i think on the overall level, there is an understanding that it's hard to be neutral in the kind of the month. and there are no security guards you to follow up natal. however,

the population of most of i would not get range and also such as stuff that most of our expressed interest in joining nato surfing more work, which has to be done in this regard. ok, thank you so much for talking us through that. so let's test it, put you a month from the german council on foreign relations. a thank you. a new conflict. so me a use doorstep and around the world of light to the increasing numbers of people seeking refuge in the block. asked yeah, the a you receive more asylum applications that at any time in the last 7 years, that is according to a new republic, body or pin union agency for assignment. if it goes with the highest sense that blocks that 201516 migrant crisis, but more than a 1000000 people slammed across the use board has applications decreased in the years that followed. but then rose again, syrians and asked on national, submitted the most applications in 2023, follow by palestinians,

and then to each nationals that these latest figures don't include the more than $4000000.00 ukrainians. you've been given refuge since russians invasion. germany recorded more than the 330000 just out of my applications in 2023 more than any other e u. member states. it's followed by friends space and then it's really a let's say freaking that makes sense. if those numbers are dr. rafael bustle, who's from the gym and institute for international and security effects, i welcome to dw, so we know that the, the, the serious civil war was a big driver and 20 uh, 201560. is it clear what's behind this current search? no, it's more complicated picture, i mean it's not one single crisis apart from the ukranian war. you mentioned it's really the whole neighborhood in europe, which is still unfortunately, both in terms of violent conflict and in terms of economic and other instability, a sort of a source of various sources of irregular migration on the side of seekers. for

example, turkey, you mentioned here is a new development and why is that? well, on the one hand yes, on the other one is having an autocratic regime and there is more political repression. but also in general, there's the lack of economic perspective, a lack of a general, you know, sense that turkey is going in the right direction. so, so it's a mixture of those factors. and i've kind of started, you mentioned there's a long running conflict, of course. and people are moving from a kind of stand or seeing that they don't have a regional perspective and eventually arrive in europe. so all these movements take time. and so this is what we seek, a cause of accumulating in the last year. so we have a structural problem indeed. yes. so nationalist process and finally governments and you would have have long capitalized on public discontent over migration and assign them. so these figures likely to fuel what i don't think the figure themselves make a big difference. i mean, the discourse has been going on for quite some time. i think the current sort of

political debate is more, okay, what are we going to do about this? and what all of this was a propos, solutions. so on the one hand, you know, mainstream part of the say, ok, we agreed on this, you were a form for sort of a more stringent assign them system more order. and other actors are now saying, no, this is not enough. we have to take well radical action, so more forceful kind of foreclosures, or even, you know, putting people only in 3rd countries for having their assigning process. so i think this is more the divide and you know, the exact numbers of people arriving. and what, why does germany appears to be such a magnus as well? germany still is, you know, have, has the reputation to some extent for being open. and this was also happened in the case of ukraine. it still has, you know, large and actually, you know, needing a labor market. so there are a prospect's and then of course lots but don't always these kind of diaspora effects. so syrians, they already a lot of syrians in germany. so further, people from siri who take refuge in steer they obviously try to go somewhere where

they may know somebody. so couples, this is like why germany is still the biggest recipient. okay. i'm so we have many european countries facing folding both rights and a dimension pool of work as of yet the countries like germany, italy, a doing deals with countries like a rocco and albania, to actually use rate wave. um i tried to do deals with uh kind of like a rolanda and the albanian to process the asylum seekers abroad. while jeremy, at the same time is doing deals with morocco, coverage people. so it looks like they're trying to, to welcome with one hand and slap people away with the other. yeah, there, there was an inconsistency. i mean, some officials, both people would say, well that's there is no contradiction. we just want to control who's coming. we want to choose who's coming here, and this should be for economic migrants and not for regular migrants. but of course, you know, you can sort of need to separate the 2. so if you get

a reputation as being as nasty as possible, then it's obviously not as likely that you can attract the kind of labor migration of the skilled people you want in germany. i think we're not that far down the line and trying to be just, you know, the turns like the debate in new k is or is actually also increasing the happening in italy. but we'll see, i mean, the elect selections of europe. elections will be a test for that. and certainly we should be careful that we really don't destroy this kind of attraction of germany because that's what we need to long term. and so ever since 201516 when we saw this search from syria, the e. u. has been debasing, wants to do about the irregular migration and clearly the system that was in place, they definitely will where people are a process that the point of entry doesn't work. why has it taken so long to? so they side because a deal was finally arrived back in december of just last year. well,

i mean actually it is seamlessly because of difficult to explain that it took 8 years. and one of the reasons not the only one was always this debate about solidarity. so what is the kind of measure for supporting each other in europe? and originally there was always this idea that we relocate people across europe and various countries, 1st and foremost in eastern europe, but not only increasingly set us at no way. we're not going to do this and eventually also countries like germany settling, okay, we're going to have a flexible system most of the day or 2. so more or less countries can choose what they kind of put into a common pool. and then somehow this is politically more palatable. and the 2nd element that kind of was a deal breaker is the kind of idea that we now at least try to have more sort of foster and stringent assigning procedures near the external borders. so people ideally should be process fast and returned if they don't get assign them. so these

2 ideas sort of flexible. so the deputy i'm sort of most stringent procedures with foster returns on the borders are meant to create both more control and more political sort of flexibility. but whether it's going to work in practice, this is a big question that we can actually not really sort of pro is sort of really say at this point in time. ok, thanks and focus through that side of the field bustle from the german institute for international and security for thank you. awesome. the main you an agency set up to assist the palestinian refugees underway and is facing a cash crisis. it said it would run out of money in the coming days after major donation suspended funding. the phrase came after israel, so there's several under workers have been involved in the october 7 tara attacks by how much. but there's not just palestinians in gaza, who fear being cut off and also provides assistance in most countries like level

which is home to more than a quarter of a 1000000 refugees. dw correspondent mohammed tried to report from david this is what life looks like. initial capital b, it is one of 12, but this time if it comes across slipping on the old depend on one organization to survive. when the new, how is 82, she suffers from hyper tension and diabetes. what clinic is the only health care facility she can't afford. it has been providing her medicine for the past 12 years . so it in use of form was unprecedented. cost crisis is troubling. and how will i get the medicine most death would be better for me. may i have no support about quote,

another crucial surface provided by garbage collection account will sink and trash in less than 24 hours. if one does not collect garbage. one official distance us for children. what schools offer options in an environment full of danger, for the node with without unrest, schools or children will end up on the streets or in coffee shops they have probably armed or how many in it they would use drugs. especially since drug dealers are all over the place that at the end it would be much easier to recruit these children off the streets. no, no, no, never. they said, well that's a lot of the future of those who have chosen depends on what sort of the health of those at the clinic it is not just that's what also pays runs and provides a sense what the critically it is, effectively the state in places like this without the service is that what kind of

provides watson, indian kind of simians across the bottom would be absolutely destitute. and increasingly, that's that a lot i can't describe how people will react. if on ross stops, there would be riots in violent protests. it's not going to be easy. oh, what is struggling to keep the lead on feelings of frustration? they are very, very worried. there is fear, there are things i o team and it fosters and deepen so sense of hopelessness that's already present. so we're now starting to see refugees show up in our offices and yelling at our staff and, and great frustration and despair. and the threatening to, to come by why has no mandate to secure palestinian refugees but then to what used to be their homes. but most of us didn't use refuse to separate it surface deliveries from the right for the time. the 2 issues are deeply intertwined in the minds of the refugees. how the solving owenberg within the palestinian costs and

the right for return, but also an end to all the social educational and medical services to provide that to the why. in crisis, 51 in the, in the beginning of the month to month on refugees needs for what services is more critical than ever south korea, as well as 12 largest economy and home to industrial. johns, like shown die on samsung, known for manufacturing a wide variety of industrial and consumer products. but there's one thing the country hasn't been making enough of. most babies. south korea now has the lowest birth rate in the world, and that's watering the government. the numbers are dire, south korea's birth rate has been dropping for years. now it's fall into a record. low utilities have some notes for send us one of these. the number of newborns in 2023 was 230000, which is a decreased by 7.7 percent from

a year earlier. the total for till it through rate was record at that point $72.00 again down from last year. the reason is obvious, south korea, as the most expensive country in the world, to raise a child and a work life balance valued in many western countries, is virtually unheard of as this office work or a father of to know is to well to say that it's serious, i need to make time for taking care of my children, but that's difficult when you're working. so i think the government and the companies need to cooperate and help parents spend time with their children and have a good family to come over there for the sol. government is trying to make, having kits more appealing. parents get $22000.00 a year for a baby born in 2024, and there are plans to expand paid paternal leave to 18 months. still many in the country doubt they can balance a career and having children with autism scale, there will be

a situation where my child is sick and they need to leave the office to take care of it. but under the current environment, women can't just leave the office to take care of sick kids as could be disruptive to their work from the goods. if the government provided financial support as women could face financial difficulty is due to career break. after giving birth, it seems clear the government will have to step in sooner rather than later, such as typically any countries birth rate has to be just above to, to keep the population study in south korea, population number sent dropping fast. i didn't dangerous the country's economic viability finally, so i can look at this look like something out of a james bond film fundable for me. i am, i'm serious. if you're a little younger, the united arab emirates as hosted the wells 1st jet suit, rice, 8 pilots,

put on backpacks and jess is around the obstacle cost on devise haul. but no, there's no c g. i involves big jets suits i will forced power the most bullets cost and can reach speeds of up to a $150.00 for them to an hour. sounds dangerous, and it is once a cruncher right upon it gave rescues from of the wow. and that was the day you can follow that same on social media at dw use, so you can use the dw app is always that d, w dot com. of course the, on the, on the social's at the, to the,
