this today, 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 go in by then, and this is the day. the rest is war against you. claim has the norm was people, questions on every aspect of one of the 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 id, waging highspeed war against smoke over plato is stopping lead, trying to multiple de into literally a 2nd to ukraine as long as the pollution armies on the left bank of the denise, the of this place is in the occupation. it would be peace. hey, anytime soon. also on the day support for the lens agency

for palestinian refugees is drying up after is right. the claims that several unreal workers were involved in the how much tire of tax the organizations fugette now look sent out. there's fear there are things io 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 great frustration and despair. welcome to the day, the multiplan breakaway region of trans, next year has asked moscow for protection. the pro ration of staff protest accuse the pro western 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 a republic of trans netra is a tiny sliver of land located between ukraine involve dover and falls within russia

. sphere of influence. i broke away from the video and the collapse of the soviet union in the early 19 ninety's. but as an internationally recognized, it was a request for protection to south show its off the request for outright. i'm excited by russia that moldova, i'm many in the west had fed back in 2006 tons of history actually organized a referendum and joining the russian federation, which met with the over well with overwhelming support is more than 97 percent voting in favor. however, moscow chose not to recognize the vote and didn't act on the request. on the has dismissed the claims that each waging economic wolf on trans main street and coal, the san francisco appeal for protection propaganda. relations between mulder advantage break right region, a complicated by the role of russia. moscow has around 1500 troops, permanently stationed insurance and the streets. what it called

a peacekeeping mission. i'm all the government says it's military presence is a legitimate and it's called for the withdrawal of russian forces. it's repeatedly accused the kremlin 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 crane is russian. a foreign ministry is 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 this for the country and for the region as a whole, they do to go on so on the sides or put you on the bottom answer on the drum and council on foreign relations. so welcome to the w. a what spring reported, is it this time you break away region of mole dog, which is right next to you, cried. has appealed to russia full protection. could you take us behind that bold

statement 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 backs. where does this come from? the congress of deputies that took place today comes a lot to as the on the backgrounds of the west and economics to chase turn in the transmission region and also optimal development native custom just exception for companies from just missed jail, 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 history of or so on the grounds of this economic situation. we also see more and 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. whether i would

actually say that the message that came was quite month, right. and you did not make reference to the integration of dismissed the investor that uh, what's happened in the congress in 2006. and that the statements also addressed to the state duma. and just the duration counsel, another president and, 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 and 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 create sandwich between moldova, which it's broken away from them, which is not backed by russia, trends. 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 in the media, we are over inflated and there was a lot of propaganda. i'll send you the information and 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 then you question. 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 the test this to inside, it's also a message to keep, to be on the agenda for us. so because there is there is that social cost, the cost supplied moldova, and then it would be affected by this. ok? so because so as, as you, as far as you can see, then this call, this is a little local difficulties can put it best way. this 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 the separation compare and send this information, the situation in well the volume bridge aisle. we have elections coming up this author and our presidential election and next the problem into the election. so this situation is, contributes to public disposition trust. this tech 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 step innovation. and the concept, of course, russia has a circle, peace keeping force of around $1500.00 troops in trance and history. what does that he's at doing? whose piece are they supposed to be? camping that yes, that's a good question. i mean, does this tell us of 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 interest missed and this people must click

transmits to a residence uh, 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 were there was information about with us. and my biggest ation and trust me still real stuff, but still a lot of people living so sniffed. yeah. 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, on the mold, over of course, not a member of the e. u. o nato effect new child to using strive and his constitution, but is trans, may strayer, on the radar of eva v. e. you, on a so, i mean,

most of us 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 just missed a is also benefiting from me. it's around 70 percent of the business to experts go to the you countries. therefore, also this is tim, the integration into in the u is also still not part of most about becoming more attractive for, for attractive for trust. this justice done regions and benefits of the measures the small device benefits and getting this to god. what concerns natal at it is indeed the emerald of a mess with new trend. it isn't in this past edition. however, what's interesting and then you speak through the strategy 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 current month that i'm 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. so i think more work would have to be done in this regard. okay, thank you so much for talking us through that. so let's test it, put you on a month from the german council on foreign relations. a thank you. the new concept. so me a use doorstep and around the world of light to increasing numbers of people seeking refuge in the block. asked you 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 after on national, submitted the most applications in 2023, followed by palestinians,

and then to each nationals that he's right. these figures don't include the more than 4000000 ukrainians. you've been given refuge since russians invasion. germany recorded more than the 3 130002 sign a modifications in 2023. both on any of the e. u. member states. it's followed by friends, spain, and then it's really let's say freakin, that makes sense. if those numbers are dr. rafael bustle, who's from the german institute for international and security effects, i welcome to dw, so we know that the serial civil war was a big driver in 202015. 60. 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 creating 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 with finals. because 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 and 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 ask, i understand, you mentioned is a long running conflict of course. and people are moving from, of 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 far i governments and you would have have long capitalized on public discontent over migration and assign them so these figures likely to fuel. let me, 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 proposed 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 asylum 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 the asylum process. so i think this is more the divide than, 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 happen in the case of ukraine. it still has, you know, a 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, um, excuse me, with, i tried to do deals with, i kinda just like rwanda 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 say welcome with one hand and slot 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 nicely 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 a new k is or is actually also increasingly 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 b, u has been debasing, wants to do about the irregular migration. and clearly the system that was in place, they doubling the web. 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 processed fast and returned if they don't get assign them. so

these 2 ideas sort of flexible. so the deputy, i'm sort of more 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 that reco bustle from the german institute for international security for thank you. awesome. are the main you an agency set up to assist the palestinian refugees underway and is facing a cash crisis? it said it will run out of money in the coming days after major donation suspended funding. the phrase came after israel seth of several of the workers had been involved in the october 7 tara attacks by how much. but it's not just palestinians in gaza who fee of being cut off and also provides assistance in most countries

like level which is home to more than a quarter of a $1000000.00 refugees. dw correspondence mohammed tried to report from david this is what life looks like. emission fees, refuge account will be it is $1.00 of 12 and this time if it comes across, flip it on the own, depend on one organization to survive. one of the new ha 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 didn't use a form, it was unprecedented. cash crisis is troubling. and how will i get the medicine mode? that would be better for me. may i have no support about quote another

crucial surface provided by garbage collection account with sink and trash in less than 24 hours. this one does not collect the garbage. one official distance us for children. what schools offer options in environments full of danger? the noted 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, wasa and the liquidity is effectively the state in places like this without the service, is that what kinda provides watson indian from the city is across the bottom would

be absolutely destitute. and increasingly, that's that a lot, i can't describe how people will react. if on russ stops, there would be riots in violent protests. it's not going to be easy. 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 stuff and great frustration and despair. and threatened them to, to come by. what has no mandate to secure what kind of sydney and refugees but then to what used to be their homes. but most of us didn't use refused to separate surface deliveries from the right. for the time. the 2 issues are deeply intertwined in the minds of the refugees. how do i put i knew about 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 into the why. in crisis, 51 in the, near 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 from 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 decrease 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 is 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 corporate 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 kids 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 to 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 sick kids as this could be disruptive to their work from the it would be good if the government provided financial support as women could face financial difficulties due to career break after giving birth it seems clear the government will have to step in sooner rather than later. so typically, any countries birth rate has to be just above to, to keep the population study in south korea, population number. so dropping fast, i didn't, didn't dangerous. the country's economic viability. finally sank, a look at this looking 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 85. it's put on the pack suggested around an obstacle course on device hub.
