2:05 am
having and seeing the president making more cutting down budget, saying this will not happen that you're not happy with who's consultation of the president william router was false to buck truck on a new finance bill that's initially spot to the protests. the law would have increased the taxes in every day items, including bright and cooking oil. kenyon opposition leaders have spoken out. it's a part of the demonstrates is that demands we go to see the east, the beginning of last best jobs there you have given the country one last visitor we day the season. i'm swim with it. by implementing all the months or week lloyd n sync the country or to get in on tuesday, october misplaced the coffins in the streets of nairobi to draw attention to be
2:06 am
excessive false, used by police. the state funded kenya national commission on human rights said as well as those killed hundreds of being seriously injured. and they have been dozens of cases of being false or invalid trait disappearances, to talk to jane. langa is a fellow in the advocate program of the economy and diamond for international peace . she joins us from washington. d. c. a. welcome to d w. why all people still out on the streets, even though the government has dropped this controversial a finance bill? a thank you feel for this opportunity to have this conversation. and yes, i see. have you said that people are still in the streets and we're beginning to now clearly see and what is the margin is that the institutions also triggered other pressure points that are already there in the 1st thing that we,
2:07 am
we have beginning to come clearly to show clearly is that young people are too very dissatisfied, read their current situation, or they find themselves in. and this is because kind of a very young country, but i'm of young people are still um unemployed. and i still don't believe that they have been hard when they're trying to get their grievances that they do not see a few to hold for themselves in these. so they're still calling for the government to listen to them. and also this is med because, uh they have been seeing a lot of politicians indulged in a lot of well, quite a few months. we have just come into the office and the believe is to not a huge governance issue. but is, we've seen the country and don't want to see drastic changes in these. and finally, uh, one of the things that has also continued to, to access our bits. these issues is also the ability to car, to read this, to the young people still feel that they have not been how does this come up, what you need to, to be listened to and they want why dialogue beyond the be much fast took them
2:08 am
there and so there's $21.00 to engage on the issues that are still on the table. okay? people have died during these protests which as resize thoughts about this fine on spill these grievances that you've talked about. i'm well, what clearly that before i recess of of protests any, any, any good ones that the, the, the, the, the pressure has been released in this way. then not going to go back quickly. but is the government really having done the utah and on the finance bill goes i yes, if you right in the streets and fun things down, we will suddenly cure unemployment where we didn't. we didn't do that before. yes it's, it's very 1st, it's very unfortunate and my head goes out to the families and the young people who lost their lives in this process it's, it's very unfortunate time, a ton of events, the solution to the problem that kind of finds its fit itself in and the government
2:09 am
finds itself in, it's not an easy solution. it does not have a new this edition. and it's a very multifaceted and has multiple layers of how we could even come to entangle that. but we have to started looking at this into the current situation has been, uh, the tensions have been there for awhile. so we need to find the quote, the attention to that discolored of attention. that's all right. and then having the results to at least address some of the key issues, especially with of governance and for the young people to, to be hard. because i think there's 2 opportunity for dial up to happen or meaningful dialogue to other people feel that their, their voices aren't being hot, so that is one. now the 2nd thing you've ever said, kind of a very young country, the issues all about going on. so many minutes, so if i'm an unemployment will take time. any konami's can say that is going to be have to be just short time. so initial thought, help chuck the way for but then they'll just have to be long term. but all the
2:10 am
solutions need an environment, the to the that is peaceful and one that is able to have a dialogue and open dialogue. our discussion on what is the best way for him to sort that using the current situation is very important. and then having a strong conversation on how come the country move forward. what are the big problems that's holding the country back is, is kind of this debt problem as a debt problem and an iron math problem. and the expansion of the tax space was supposed to help fill the best financial hol, anything that the president does not in terms of austerity in trying to, to, to fill that whole surely is going to make what ever problems are bad. now for young unemployed people was this is the most. i said this is, this is very complicated because indeed there is a debt from living. do the good that does need to raise revenue for, for 4 outputs. so we need to find creative ways, and i think it's really cost for
2:11 am
a lot of advice and we don't even just to put it always simple, simple basic with the bundle part of the leadership at this point to see how to ensure that the admissions for raising revenue are not going to make a situation worse. young people or even general kansas still are not able to just provide for the very basic. so they may resolve tech, special and cardboard. also be pinching of on the current uh, based off of the income to the hub, it needs to be a way that they gave us the fives this. but also it has a long term strategy to ensure that it is also put you back some kind of revenue back into these people's pocket. because the problem right now is when you put more taxes that are clearly going directly into the book and then it becomes a big issue. people don't feel like you have to send into us, you're not, you're not hearing the cries of the people. so he's going to become a lot of a conversation on how do we do this. i'll to expand his breakfast by using mulberry and well lending. but you have the end of the day. it also has to be advised by the
2:12 am
current situation on the ground. all right, good talking to you. thanks for talking us through that. so talk to jane boone got from the connie and damage for international peace. thank you very much. i the got in 5 minutes to have it. the old man has called on ukrainian president. it's a lot to me is that i asked you to consider a cease fire with russia. mister o'brien was speaking during his 1st visit to caves and rushes full scale invasion in 2022 presidents. the landscape said that ukraine needed a just peace and cold on europe to maintain the supply of military ages. country. the gold bands visit was also his 1st foreign trip since hungry. assume the use rotating presidency on monday, the 6 month term could say some fiction. as the w is, let's see, i show to reports a hungry head of the rotating you counts the presidency for the 2nd half of 2024 pests and vicious plans for the block over the next 6 months. while you're down. if
2:13 am
she, i'm on the whole 2 of the hung, gideon presidency, is let's make you to create again, i'm going to, the refers to an active, proactive presidency. it reflects the expectation that we are stronger together that we, on the parts that can come together. we can order me who we are and on your own little to a single not before the budapest is now in charge of sharing accounts and meetings and bringing forward european union policies by brokering agreement among the states. it wants to focus on areas such as competitiveness, enlargement and efficient border controls. but hunger is relationship with a 27 country block has been tens over the past few years. the use executive um the european commission is currently holding back some 19000000000 years and payments due to budapest, overlooked at all concerns the country, which is considered by some to be one of russia's closest allies in the u is blocking billions of yours and military ad to ukraine and is critical of plans for
2:14 am
key use future you membership for the next half a year though, the hungarian administration insists it visit faithfully. and if she can pass the presidency, we will be on as brokers. you have to walk pretty loyally with all member states and institutions. we do not have the same time hungry in our view. as soon as a strong european policy represents, i clear you to be an alternative for you. i want to help you out if you show political analysis on a vague things that at a bureaucratic level, this will be the case. but there's also the political level. and we have seen the hungry, the year in government on death level has an obviously a very constructive behavior over the past years. and they do not see a reason why the, the here will change or issues that the home during government wants to. there's a sense of this for itself, but the big things, the influence of the hon,
2:15 am
gary and presidency or new politics will be limited off to the elections. the european institutions are in the transition phase, which leads to a slower pace in the law making machinery. and you, you commission is due to end to office by the end of the year. in the meantime, hungary will try to leave it small on your own. as have a look at this very that came out of chef a lot. who is professor of international affairs at princeton university and joins us today from the, from city of deal or welcome to the w professor. that's how none of us should a you lead is be now that's one of the blocks. chief records will be staffing the blocks agenda for the next 6 months. well, i think it needs to be moderately nervous and it needs to actually stay on its toes . because fixed or bounds been planning, the rotating presidency for years now. he's had a huge staff of people working on this. the hiring government bought a building in brussels to stage a lot of events that actually organized something like $1500.00 events during their
2:16 am
6 months presidency. even though most of the e. u is going to be kind of on hide us between 2 different commissions and 2 different parliaments. so i think what's going to happen, there's a bottom guarantee. they're going to try as hard as they can to set an agenda to change the tone. and as your clips set to present an alternative, which is not a europe unified around a set of common values. but a europe organized around a set of separate sovereignties. you have to, you will have to wrestle with as of yet. they, how much damage connie? i should be there because as i understand that the, the, the role of the presidency is essentially administered. safe. juanita will still, if he, if he has a particular hon gary agenda, still have to gather consensus from his 26 partners. the well, it's true, the hungarians will set the agendas for all of these meetings. and one of the things we've seen from victor, oregon,
2:17 am
is that when he wants something from the you uses whatever power or blocking vito. he has to try to leverage what he needs from the you and your clip mentioned that the was right now, withholding billions of heroes from hungary for various kinds of rule of law, violations therapy and court of justice. just find hungry, 200000000 euro with a 1000000 euro find a day accruing while for bon has not honored you asylum law. and on top of that or about is the subjective of an article $71.00 procedure in the castle. and here's the offered thing. is he going to chair the meeting which his own country is going to be up for examination? it's offered and it may be that oregon doesn't have a decisive vote, but he will change the tone. you will try to change the agenda and he will try the bargain for whatever he can to get, whatever he can get from the system. more about the, the, the, him getting a private is the,
2:18 am
he's been in ukraine for towards the president. so let's get to the pushing for what he called a quick cx 5 that he said could accelerate towards, should we try, he's was at face value. well, this is a line that has gone down very well with his supporters at home that you know, we need to cease fire. we need to stop the killing or bun has claimed to be the pro peace candidate in europe. but of course, anybody who understands the pain in russian conflict knows that if you stop the fighting right now, russia basically wins a lot of what it set out to get. so the e u has mostly been united around the idea of if this is really not a moment to have a ceasefire, it's just that it's hard to argue against somebody who says, i want peace. i want to cease fire, we must end the conflict. of course, that's attractive. it's just not the world we live in. and so that brings us to, to, to what we've been entering at, hey, i big, big be of, it's a whole bunch of power and ones from russia. and it's present in what you believe is behind that as well. so again, or ben could see that the,
2:19 am
you was going to cut crucial funds that were by needed to maintain his government, which is i think by all measures the most corrupt government in the u. and so when he saw that the was closing in on him and possibly cutting a lot of the funds that he needed to pay off, his supporters and his oligarchs, he looked for money elsewhere. and so at 1st he went to russia, which actually gave him quite a lot of support subsidies for building a new nuclear power plant. but now of course rushes falling on harder time. so oregon's real attention in the last year or so has been to try to port china. so she's getting actually made a visit to hungry. something like 44 percent of all foreign direct investment. the china makes in the you goes to one little country, namely hungry, and all of this is designed to pop up for fun if the caps response. so that's why these wants to get ahead of this. but he's also there for not reliable players.
2:20 am
when it comes to cooperating with other member states in the uniform policy, is that any upside for the european union in victo or bonds close ties to russia? orienting to china? a? well, he claims that again, the language of honest broker has come up multiple times and or been keeps saying, look, i'm the one who can talk to everybody. i'm the one who can negotiate a peace agreement. i'm the one who can solve problems with china now. so far, none of that has happened, oregon either because you doesn't trust them to do it or because the chinese and the russians don't trust them to do it. but that's always what he says. you know, somebody has to talk to all sides, which, you know, again, makes a lot of sense if you just take it at face value. but if you invest it in the context that oregon is talking about, it's not nearly as innocent as it looks. so is there an upside, i'm not sure about, but that's i think actually bothered not. and there's one other down side that i
2:21 am
should mention, which is that the last time or about how the rotating presidency and are ready in the 1st couple of days of this, one or bomb has use the rotating presidency at the you to crack down on opposition at home, so just in the last couple of days, he is cracked down on the leading investigative new source and he's crack down on trans past the international. and most of the other end, you knows that receive for an funding are really in for a rough ride, while he has the rotating presidency, even though they helped him, commission filed an infringement action against him for setting up this investigative authority. but that's actually harassing all of the civil sector organizations. he assumes when he's president of the, you know, the rotating president that he can block anything that you would do to go after him . so he's going to have a field day at home, consolidating power. fascinating analysis and we thank you for it. professor kim l . a. ship hello for preston university. thank you so much. thank you very much. i
2:22 am
the grease has become a fast country in new york city and union to introduce a 6 day working week for some businesses. the measure applies to firms that provide 247 surfaces, all those experiencing extraordinary work load research pro business government calls, the regulation work a friend's a, but it's sparking outrage amongst trade unions and people on the street. how like you name? oh, it goes to the grill says if your employer says this is it will take it or leave it . you can't do anything about it. this is green, i'm not gonna say it. but we're going back to early up decades in this law has nothing to offer, then it will, it will not solve the problem of businesses that don't have enough to diocese. that's how you set the over. you might get the same as most a world health organization says a 40 hour week is already too much in other european countries,
2:23 am
the workload is decreasing excitement. the 6th day week is unacceptable. we should not let it be imposed on. never about the if i saw that 6 day work was wearing me down, i would not do it. i prioritize my mental health, not money. yeah. but i thought, journalist, i'm very kind of solvent, joins us from athens of welcome to d. w on paper, greece is economic growth is sound, it's above the euro zone average. so how's the government justifying this move as well? actually, this is somewhat of a paradox because companies across the globe are actually towing with the idea of actually meeting and store me work hours and working weeks. but the government here says it is introducing neighbors skiing a 48 hour working week to boost productivity. and it
2:24 am
causes in this because a, because it's a grease is shrinking population in a well of $45.00 demographics and be because of a severe shortage in skilled workers. greece has been facing a terrible decline in its demographics. the prime minister has quoted it ticking time bomb. in fact, um and what has simply exacerbated the situation in, in recent years, have been master slides around 500000 skewed young, well educated greeks who loved the country at the highly refined. now the crisis here, a decade, long prices and the government has not been able to woo them back. so this is how it's ultimately justifying the reason for going ahead with this game and what our
2:25 am
experts saying about this. cuz it seems, it seems just ridiculous that, that okay, we have a shrinking population and a few, a skilled workers that will make the few that we have were caught up rather than attracting more back to the country as well. there has to be trials and tested, runs a 4 day a 4 day. what weeks in other parts of europe and abroad in germany, japan, south africa, for example, have tried, it's tested and it has proven effective. but in greece, this has not happened in the box that there is no, stockton disapproved. and that happens that any strong, credible, you know, professional voice has to come out and support the ski in stock. any kind of professionals that i've been hearing, at least in the, in the past few days,
2:26 am
a neighbor at restaurant brought some example in the u. k. the raising of critical i ski. so is there any support for the measure amongst the people? i'm not going normal working people, the government must have known that if it, this would be a hated move. i hated losing it is considered about fire. why? gas, you know, trade, you use a call saying that it use effectively rotating, right? that factory workers have. and that the document effectively is trying to the hands of big money and big corporations. and it is also intuitive in the sense that be using our, for example, the pension has the right to continue working in the job rather than making way for fresh blood to do to come in. but at the same time,
2:27 am
if the government, the government is simply saying that if it does still has to know that then this is the best that it can, the ultimately come up with. so will be facing more than the position from from locals in the very few right now who are actually supporting it to her so that i'm very, i see, i kinda saw in athens and that is the day i'm even part of my team on social media at dw news, you'll find my way to start headlines on dw, don't combo on the d, w. and although i'm from main tax rate on the day, have a good day, the
