higher generation of children, death fear despair because they are the teacher of syria. the mm ah, excuse me. this is d w. new life from berlin. joe biden, center stage in the u. k. the us president gets together with the u. k prime minister. now the work begins for world leaders gathering for the g 7 summit also in the program. a deadly start to india monsoon season. children are among the dead as a building collapses during heavy rain and football european championships ready to

kick off. already a year later can year or 2020 the stage safely during the pandemic, and who was one of the biggest ah hello, i'm really mohammed us president joe biden has wrapped up his 1st day of his european told before the summits of g 7 nations in cornwall in the west of england, by the met with u. k. prime minister bars johnson, to discuss climate change, global security, and the pandemic. the president has landed joe biden on european soil for a week of diplomacy. his message that from years of neglecting the trans atlantic alliance, a willing truly over at every point along the way, we're going to make it clear that united states is back. this trip is important for

biden. it goes to the heart of his belief about this era that we ventured a battle of the systems between democracies like those here in europe. and are talk receipts like china and russia. biden says that the west must unite and show that it's got what it takes. democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges. and the issues that matter most to our future that were committed to lady was strength, defending our values. so biden is come to europe. the 3 summits with democratic clubs. first, the g 7 in britain, that nato and the european union in brussels before finally with russia is letting me biden's idea is that it best to consult your friends before you confront your rival. better in german diplomat falls going issue. that's

a good plan. i think it is very smart. it is in terms of diplomatic of practice to meet with nato partners for which you are part of this 1st, before the meeting with bloody may put it by wants to be able to show putin and indirect a china to the when the west is united. it can deliver in ways that they cannot thank you for he's an ounce plans to donate more cove. it vaccines to poorer countries. and he's 7 finance ministers of agreed a minimum rate of corporate taxes to force global times to pay that $5.00 share. so you can expect the g 7 to be a show of transatlantic unity. but how deep does that unity go when it comes to buying? the big idea of pushing back against the autocrat on china. europe has tied in with us sanctions over human rights abuses. but europe's economy is so dependent on china that is doubtful. it will be as tough as washington once and on russia.

germany has refused to stop the controversial north stream to pipeline biden. seas that is a major mistake that will make your weaker, more dependent on russia. both going issue fears. if europe doesn't step on it risk feeding that trump narrative, that the trauma atlantic alliance isn't was, is there anything we can do to make sure that the next president will not be again, donald trump, or somebody like donald trump, who wishes to abandon europe. we want to be a good partner, another useless topic. so a lot rides on this week of some it's between friends and foes. the things that count both for the outside world and for the voters, back home. now, authorities in germany, all disbanding and elite police units of revelations that offices joined extreme

white twin cat groups. members of the s e k. swat team in frankfort, all suspected of inciting rachel hatred and sharing nazi images. 20 offices are currently under investigation. japanese police chiefs have been criticized over a series of extremism scandals. d, w. 's political correspondent hands brand has more on how this case came to light. they only found this group really by mistake, because it were accidentally, they were investigations going on against a member of this group who was alleged to have child pornography and why they were investigating him about that. they found evidence of this right when child group that happened, similar sorts of shot groups in various process germany here in berlin as well, for instance. and the german domestic intelligence service has talked about hundreds of cases in the last 4 years or so. and in the german forces about a 1000 k. so say that this is not a simple matter. there seems to be

a structural problem. and obviously these kinds of organizations, military organizations, armed forces do attract these kinds of people. one would imagine. but at the moment, the authorities, i've not really been able to get a handle on that. now at least 11 people, including 8 children, have been killed in india's monsoon season. heavy rains and wind lead to a residential block collapsing in room by residence. we're evacuated and several more fit to be missing. it's a race against time for the rescue. workers has the search for survivors. in the rubble of this apartment, building residents joined firefighters and police officers. as they looked for signs of life. i was the my number, there was an incredibly loud noise and we knew that something terrible had happened

. i rushed out my front door and i saw the building collapsed. i was getting heavy monsoon rains have pounded more by since wednesday in many parts of the city are under water. the rainfall could, if we can, the buildings, foundations, with deadly consequences. got to the incident happened around midnight. it was a building consisting of the ground floor and 2 levels. the yoga fell onto the building in front of it. oh, we have rescued. 18 people so far out of which 11 have died and 7 had been injured . also, police will investigate the accidents and will follow up with whatever legal procedures are required. we got the family members wait anxiously for news about their loved ones with more rain expect to denise than in central india over the coming weeks. many of the tried to do will not be the last.

let's take a look at other stories making headlines around the world's former germans. many families minister francisco, give fi, has been stripped of a doctorate over plagiarism. the social democrats resigned over the controversy and says she will stop using the title doctor several prominence german politicians have been caught up in scandals over their academic backgrounds. but frances has refused to accept the resignation of germany. it's cardinal vine, hard mach over his being of a sex abuse scandal. the archbishop of munich wrote to the pope of offering to quit . he's not accused of the crime, but says he has responsibility for sexual abuse by clerics. a french court has sentenced a man to 4 months in prison for slapping president in my name across the face. he hit the president during a walk about and south east from the court has banned him for, from

winning goal for chelsea's champions league title or robert levin, dusky of poland, who can't seem to stop scoring and don't forget ports, it goes christiana, rinaldo, who could become the euro's all time top scorer. the question is, how safe is a pan european tournament for europe's best players during a pandemic? despite the pandemic force delay your way for president alexander jeffery in has been insisting the tournament will be safe for players. officials and fans. there have been concerns over possible virus clusters. this led to your way allowing nations to expand squads up to 26 players and good thing. the netherlands already dropped goalkeeper ya specialists in from their squad because of a positive test. both spain and sweden have also had players test positive for cove at 19 for the 1st time in its history, the tournament will be taking place across europe. each of the 11 host cities have

been given clearance to host bands. 10 cities are shooting for anywhere from 12231000 fans. budapest is aiming to have a full house. that would mean $61000.00 fans in the push costs arena. the semi final then the final will take place in london's wembley stadium. world cup winners, france enter euro 2020 as the top favorites. but they blur and their stars need to survive. the so called group of death, which consists of raining champions, portugal, as well as germany. if things go england's way, they could play all but one of their matches in london some serious harm advantage other nations to watch out for our belgium and italy who both won all 10 of their qualifiers and the tournaments dark horse could be turkey,

who together with belgium had the best defense during qualifiers and might just surprise the top teams at the euros. and ukraine is caught up in a row with european football officials over a controversial shut slogan. ukrainians have been told to remove the phrase glory to the heroes from its year or 2020 jersey. the complaints came from russia. the governing body you are for ruled ukraine could keep the maps that includes crimea. but the slogan, glory to the heroes. a military greeting was deemed to be political and earlier we reported on the g 7 summit, which gets underway this weekend. there are many issues on the agenda from climate change to the pandemic, but one group of artists and activists hoping the g 7 leaders will also take time to focus on the environmental threats from electronic waste. and they've made a bold statement to ensure that this issue isn't ignored. the d 7 leaders have been

immortalized in it's called tomato electronic waste. this giant world looks out toward campus bay with a d 7 summit is taking place this week. deft mount recycle more a day to highlight the growing threat of electronic waste. we have to deal with it as a human race. you have to do with no nations where one nation is pushing off to another nation to get rid of polluting. will they have this? this is why it's a g 7 lead. this is why it's have to get them all talking to each other. i just said this shortly. so as a human race, you know, the piece highlights not only the need for and political decision, but also more environmental awareness. i mean, a fridge or hoover all you know, could last 20 years, it doesn't have to be thrown away so quickly. and hopefully this will do papers attention to the fact, especially the people over there. and they said that these things that something

has to be done about this. everyone involved holds the summit. it will finally lead to action and not just more empty promise. this is the w news lie from burning. you can find much more news analysis and video on a website that is d w dot com for now will leave you with pictures from the solar eclipse, known as an angela or ring of fire. people in remote areas of east canada, greenland and siberia, were able to see it in full. but many others were able to see just partial eclipse, where the moon doesn't completely cover the sun. enjoy. the the i the

i choose say they have everything sign me. but i'm trying to use the hot tips for your budget lift the magic corner hotspots for, for me, and some great help from memorial to boot d, w, travel off we go. when i

arrived here, i slept with people in a room. it was hard. i even got white hair is learning the german language, hit me a lot. this keeps me on critical trinity to instruct society, you want to know their story. the license verifying and reliable information for migrant the football european championships are back and the fans are to sort of sore football fortune's on the rebound. we'll look at what the euro 2020 tournament could mean for a constant. that's just now. reopening from the pandemic. also on the show prices across the prices of rising across europe in the u. s. but central bankers aren't wavering from cheap money at record low interest rates. and this is one of the

studies places on earth. now the major solar power factory will take you to choose as a comma. welcome to the show. i've seen beardsley in berlin, the euro, 2020 football term. it kicks off friday, one year late after a, at their pandemic postponement. it's an event that can be quite lucrative for the host. just take the last years, for example, hosted by france in 2016 or then 600000 visitors plus visiting teams and officials travelling and spinning across french cities that contributed about $1200000000.00 euros to francis economy. and that's compared to how much they spent on the whole thing 200000000 years. you can see what kind of again that is. that was an ordinary year for the tournaments. this of course is hardly an ordinary year . now, earlier i spoke with my colleague arthur sullivan, i asked him to explain the logic of this year's tournament in which 1111 different cities are playing host. yes, even so, you know,

so knows nothing about this might assume that this novel format has something to do with and amec. but even though the tournament was originally due to be in 2020, and i've taken place this year, this idea of the form of this by 2012. it was the brainchild of the former us president, michelle's a teeny. it was very much something that he wants to promote for the 60th anniversary of the very 1st european challenge of the $960.00. he wanted upon european events which would take place across the entire continent. 12 whole cities rather than in one specific country. as we were traditionally associated with the type of events. so that was the original idea. there also was a little bit of a cost factor as well because he wanted to more, a cheaper euros, thrown from a host perspective. remarkably pertaining to time, as president, as long over he to resign after corruption scandal a few years ago. but his idea, despite the pandemic, ensures perhaps possibly the worst year for it. okay, so 11 host cities, we talk about france being one and benefiting from 2016. is there an economic benefit to these cities and can even feel the stadiums?

well, even in not, not normal. non dami claims. the economic impact of this tournament would be compared to the normal one, obviously because of the fact that the, the revenues from tours to spread out across 12 locations rather than just one country. but obviously, even in the conduct the pandemic, marginal impact has been even more significantly don't use it because there are restrictions all over the place. almost all the stadium will be not near folk about the mostly around 25 to 50 percent of the most with a couple of exceptions. and then the other tourism factors are our, our minimum because very few fans of local funds will be attending the games. so 25 to 50 percent capacity. perhaps that's still better than what we've seen in the past year. does this mean perhaps this turn it marks through the return of european football? well, i mean symbolically. it's sometimes for a sport like football which is so dependent on its fun culture to get funds back into stadium. that's essential because football need funds and everyone involved in the game knows that for revenue point of view,

smaller clubs would benefit far more than larger folks from the fact the funds are back in stadium. but european football crisis, which we saw in, in stark life during the reef and super league, we ask where brit, 12 belief those try to break the former break. really. that crisis is rooted in the inflationary spiral of wages and transfer, feeding the gamma dot in the root of that particular price, as i'm getting funds back. and i'm not going to particularly end up problem that will endure long after the panoramic is over. right. or the sullivan d w business. thank you very much. let's take a look now at some of the other business stories making headlines. italian financial police are investigating one of the largest providers of online travel bookings for tax evasion, possibly amounting to $100.00. 50000000 euros, prosecutor se netherlands based booking dot com did not declare any value added sales tax between 201320. 19. after lunch, we manipulating the billing procedure a booking dot com says it plans to cooperate with the investigation. any european

1st, the french ends with central banks are to trial cross border money transfers using crypto currency. the pilot project will see large number of investment banks using the digital money to finance credit transactions. the new system is set to boost security and efficiency. united airlines is reported to have ordered at least a 100 new boeing 737 max just as americans return to disguise. bloomberg reports as part of a larger revamp. the carriers please rapid progress in the u. s. fascination program is boosting the countries travel sector. prices are rising in europe and the u. s. as consumer demand picks up and supply chain face bottlenecks. it's something economists have generally been expecting nations recover from the worst of the pandemic. but the extent of rising prices has been very hard to predict. and many observers are already wondering when central banks could raise interest rates and response. today the head of the europe central europe, central bank, said not yet. how much will these euro's get you?

at least for a while, the answer is going to be less than they used to. as economic activity returns in many parts of europe, demand across sectors has spiked, helped along by stimulus keeping borrowing costs down. that's had one particular side effect. inflation has picked up over recent months, largely on account of base effects, transitory factors, and an increase in energy prices. it is expected to rise further in the 2nd half of the year before declining as temporary factors fade out. on new stuff, projections point to a gradual increase in underlying inflation pressures throughout the projection horizon. in other words, the european central bank expects prices to keep getting higher this year. as the continent recovers time then to ease upon stimulus siding,

a still uncertain economic outlook. the c b says no, it's keeping interest rates are record lows and it's 1.85 trillion euro emergency bond buying scheme, untouched. rising prices notwithstanding. but it's not just europe. us consumer prices shot up by the most in 12 years in may compared to a year ago with a 3rd of that jump driven by used cars becoming more expensive as a chip shortage. hit auto manufacturing. following the e c b 's, just held policy meeting central bank watchers will be turning their attention to the federal reserves meeting next week. this time to see how the americans will treat inflation. much of the same is expected or financial correspondence. sabrina kessler joins us from new york. sabrina, good to see you. where exactly are american seeing higher prices these days? to be honest with you basically everywhere,

especially in those sectors which are hits hard by to suffer from supply chain constraints. we just heard it. it's a used car where we saw a price increase of about 7 percent. many did you see me, conductors shortages and also the high demand for, for new cost. we also see the in retail for and so think prices are up 7 percent today is supply bottleneck and shipping backlog. my menu price of biking. so in the restaurants and also in hotels, but also in the airline sector, airline fairs. so ticket prices are up 24 percent prepared to last year. so yeah, everybody is starting to trust level again. so that's there's this huge demand and we see kind of a perfect storm of rising consumption and businesses and sectors which just cannot keep up with it. that's bringing, we know that investors are watching this very closely. they're watching with the central bank. says about this, the federal reserve case, the us how worried are they,

especially given these newest numbers out of in may apparently not too much. to be honest. i mean, yeah, we've seen that pricing for you, but the reaction today was that was quite interesting because i mean, inflation has been one of the great fears in the last week of the month. but markets seem to be quite on rebels today. b, s and p 500. you can reach me when you record time today and bond say we're falling, although we are still awaiting the next meeting coming next week and tuesday and on wednesday. so we still have no decisions about interest rates and also on these like investments. and also the central bankers kind of agreed on the fact that inflation is just like a temporary issue and that it shouldn't affect investment decision in the long term . kessler in new york. thank you very much. alright, from new york, the middle of everywhere to the middle of nowhere in chile, the other common desert is one of the hottest places in the world. it has one of the highest levels of solar radiation of all deserts. now it's high time perhaps,

but that to the countries advantage latin america's 1st thermal power plant has now opened and seen as a major step forward towards chiles future. it might as well have been put on mars . this futuristic side is the same domain that dollar power plant, a $1400000000.00 project that has been developed and a comma desert. more than $10000.00 collectors follow the sun to reflect radiation under the top of a tower. 250 meters high. the heat moves through molten salt into water producing superheated steam to the last 210 megawatts enough to power 380000 homes in the country. been over my head when at the opening ceremony chilion presidents, the bus get nearer spoke of the dawn of a new age odyssey healey. by pover, sheila, yes, it would be

a poor country when it came to energy sources. we had little oil, little cold, little gas, but we are immensely rich when it comes to the energy of the future. we have the desert with the highest resolution in the world, as shown by those white colors seen at the top of the tower, which are reflecting the solar radiation as well as the same domain that door power plant is able to store solar energy for hours and even through the night, unlike traditional solar plants that only generate output when this is on this shining, the plant is expected to fill the energy gap expected when she let close a sum of its coal plants. it seen as a big step towards making sheila carbon neutral a goal, the country's aiming for by 20. 50. extraordinary. all right. here's a reminder of our top story. this our, the euro 2020 football tournament kicks off in rome on friday. when you're late after a panoramic postponement, when france those of the earth in 2016 and you over 600000 visitors and added over

a 1000000000 euros to the country's economy. this time love being spread around the bed as teens clash and 11 cities across europe over the next 4 weeks. ah, was it for me and the need of the business team? as always, you can find out more about these and other stories for a website. the w dot com slash business checks out on facebook as well as even busy . thanks for watching the news into the conflict with tim sebastian, the council of europe was issued as blazes on human rights and democracy. and it makes unpleasantly deploy, decided to question a leading official who's trying to protect human rights commission, right? as opposed to what is this suspect?

conflict on to the point and strong opinion, clear positions, international perspectives. one of the most internationally respected figures in germany's catholic church has offered his resignation to pope francis excited the catastrophe of sexual abuse by church officials. meanwhile, in canada mass going to visit his children to discover that a former school to the point dw, ah, ah no, it feels

jewish life that's what from the producer of his own, and journalists who are exploring, building into history in the present. i would never have thought that could be live . so my phone as i was in europe, the 2 port documentary starts july 5th on d. w. on many occasions, i made some 5 powerful people, very angry, but you don't shame them into changing their behavior though. do you commission of human rights and my mandate is very clear. europe has almost nothing to teach the rest of the world about human rights subjects. it is not like advice. this is not easy. the council of europe has issued its life is verdict on human rights and democracy in europe. as it makes unpleasant reading. europe's democratic

environments and institutions that says are in mutually reinforcing, decline. we talked a lot about democracy and human rights on this program for the good the, the time holding politicians to account for actions. so the police when danger those rights. but the situation is now so critical, we decided to question a leading official. just trying to protect human rights about why that protection is faded, dounia me out of it is commission of human rights for the counseling europe, and she's always been off and stuff. but what is it gone so spectacularly wrong? the dounia may out of edge welcome to conflict zone. thank you. 2 months ago you press the emergency button on human rights in europe. you said 2020 had been a disastrous year for those rights on the continent. one of the bleakest

assessments to be hard for a long time. do you think anybody is listening to your warning? well, i hope so. it is something that is affecting us all, no matter which part of the world. and if this is not a moment for all governments in europe and beyond, to take a long, hard look in the mirror and realize how important it is that we move forward in a different way. then we'd be moving until now, before this unprecedented time. if we are all facing what people are listening because 20 of your warnings in the past have fallen on deaf ears. one example the issue of migrant abuse in hungry as far back as 2019. you said this needed to be addressed as a matter of urgency. nothing was done,

gary and continued pushing back, migrants across the border with serbia. my question is, why do you think you lack the personal authority to change? mind the people who do these things who commit these violations or is hungry a loss cause? well, i would not say that the hungary law called 1st of all because of the area because the people that rely on the protection of the convention when it comes to my personal influence and the impact the time will tell, i cannot change the government. i cannot play to be in a position, but i can use something that is the most powerful tool in my, to the commissioner, which is my voice getting my voice voiceless, making sure that human rights violations are documented. and this is something that is already, i would say extremely important. the impact can be measured in different ways,

but many are indifferent. international organizations have been saying for years about various situation and also in situation of many other countries that are moving, you know, very direction and say, so freedom of media, for example, comes to my mind already in 2010 in a different position. i warned about social media extra gen, i said this is going to mirror and it's happening right now. nevertheless, we should not be, but we should continue warnings and using all the tools that we have in our disposal. and ultimately, the decision of variance and also the government that should comply with the international law and standard when it gives you just hungry is it? there are plenty of states that are involved in these violations. you often hear the claim that human rights must be sacrificed for the sake of protecting national

or european boundaries. what do you tell those governments which, which advance that argument? i totally disagree with this. i think this is a wrong path and wrong way. but equally up to everything that you wrote, that the continent experienced in the last decade, the 70 years ago when the organizational councils, europe was established. this is not the way to protect multilateralism muslim approved to be extremely important. not only for democratic countries, but also countries that are trying to move forward some democratic order. and you know, i come from from booking and had to go. and i know how it is important to move forward and recognize the international issues at the same time. of course, protecting culture tradition. i'm not using these as an excuse not to protect human

rights. this is wrong. and because of this view, on many occasions, i made some by powerful people, very angry, which in a ways part of mine, i don't make them angry, but you don't shame them into changing their behavior though. do you? well, i've tried to shame down my name then, but then again, you know, it really depends on the government for date or do. as i said, i cannot, i'm not an opposition. political position, i'm commissioner for human rights. and my mandate is very clear. it was created by those states in order to be mine. it is quite a young institution, 20 years establishment, but it's also quite unique because it is the tournaments independence. and it is up to the commissioner to decide, in which direction to grow the attention and to call for respect of human rights. of course, i agree with you. it is not black and white. this is not easy will don't like to

see results or other commission. i understand the key to the effective functioning of the council is the binding commitment, supposedly, of member countries to implement decisions of the european court of human rights. that too, has been a significant failure, hasn't it? your own figures show it as of january this year, a staggering 45 percent of the leading judgments from the court, finalized in the last 10 years have not been implemented. that's a shocking figure, isn't it? it is shocking figure, but at a time we also need to recognize that many decision, you know, they were implemented and there are states that still do honor their commitments. this is quite extraordinary what we are facing at the moment. and here i can just mention case is that texting people i can really refer to the case of mine, carla,

who i visited the prison 2 years ago. he's still in prison, even though there is a judgement from the court of human rights and such a government, not implementing this extremely important judgment. nevada in russia is another. i want you to come on and i want to talk about russia and about in the, in, in a moment. but, but these rulings are your most important tool for correcting injustice. and governments are throwing huge numbers of them in the been. and my question is, if, if that doesn't work, and that's your major lever, your major mechanism for writing wrongs. what have you got left? i think it's not correct there. it's fun of the mechanisms. of course it is extremely important. fine. i can always present 3rd party intervention like i did, many of the cases of c already mention, but then it is ultimately,

you know, with the states and also the committee of ministers, of the council of europe that is monitoring execution of the judgments of the repeal court of human rights for me, there are other tools at my disposal bilateral discussions, but also teaching access to present in order to really try to understand the situation that in some cases extremely complex. but i agree with you that there the fusion of the judgment of europe, kim, quoted, human rights is a key. and that is something that as the organization we need to, to do more, more needs to be done on the political level. we need more, you know, governments that are willing to, to name the space that are not really to be a document. they seem to be in short supply. those governments, you, you have pointed out the cove. it because pandemic is accelerated,

the decline of democracy in europe. with governments acquiring special powers that have served to erode the checks and balances on them. but this process has been under way for a long time. as you said, on april 21st commitment to upholding human rights values has been faltering all over the continent for several years. so during those years, there should have been time to stop the slide. now, why wasn't the intervention done much, much earlier when the pattern was seen and identified? well, that is no question from him dollar a for all of us to answer and also talk our self by the facing this situation. now, i think the major should, should germany, france, u. k. i mean, they will claim to value human. right? i have done more of the states should have done more. but when it comes to human rights protection, i would say, you know, based on my career and everything id,

it's not a print, it is the is, it is american. i would say it is difficult to to the result, results required time. but i think the commitment is a p here, and i don't have time do they do me out of? it's a lot of big living in a pulling conditions and poorly human rights abuse. all the many visiting many but they're also results only yesterday i learned about decision by the check parliament to compensate roma. women that suffered sterilization in the ninety's, which was part of my work and engagement parliament and the government. justice is also very slow, but it is important that we see an i agree with you. there are many, many parts of marginalized parts of the society that are waiting for impact and

waiting for their health for, for the help from isn't it, isn't it true? commission of the business in a way is to blame for this faltering commitment that you've spoken about. this idea brings us that germany always pushes change through trade. you get the trade, but in terms of human rights, nothing changes. does it look at the deals with china and rough russia? no leverage human rights whatsoever? this was especially true of the controversial note stream to gas deal with russia. no human rights considerations were allowed to get in the way of that work that this is, this is a lost opportunity, isn't it? the push human rights? of course, each time of human rights are not in the center of any kind of discussion. we fade and be moved backwards. but at the same time,

i think this should also be assigned to all parts of working in human rights area. not to really be in a way ignorant to these happenings. of course we do follow everything my work and my mandate gives me, you know, many opportunities to raise these questions with the governments, with civil society in many of the state. and for me, dialogue is a p as well. but also the same time, you know why diplomacy gets from, with the dialogue has to get somewhere, doesn't it? and looking at your report, europe has almost nothing to teach the rest of the world about human rights. does it? you said in contemporary europe, human rights defend those killed abducted jailed harris. the space for civil society when those democratic institutions are dismantled, independent judges removed. journalists are silenced by pointing,

though that you've effectively demolished the idea that europe is some kind of beacon of human rights having to it isn't, it isn't anymore that i would still say that it. there are many things that we should not take for granted and forgot that, you know, millions of people have become free from oppression, poverty, free to leave the lives there. one. so it's not in black and white, and you just portrayed europe much 15 years of steady decline, of observance of human rights and democratic principles. that's nothing to be proud of. is it? no, that's nothing to be proud of. but as i said, there are still examples of government, you know, really accepting refugees doing great things for human. right. you, you mentioned russia is take a state that doesn't appear to be committed to those rights like, oh, member countries. russia agreed to be bound by the rulings of the european court of

human rights. but in the case of the opposition leader elect saying the boundary which you mentioned earlier. russia has clearly faltered the orders of the court, hasn't it? the court said in february and nevada, they should be temporary released from jail because the government couldn't provide sufficient safeguards for his life and health rushes, justice minister called the ruling unenforceable and threw it in the been where does that leave you? well, this is a clear disregard of human rights and international obligations about the case is emblematic case. this also shows that beneath, you know, there are many more problems like a lack of independent judiciary in russia. human rights abuses in chechnya lack of investigation, repression of descent and harassment of human rights defenders. so it's not just about.
