6:07 pm
a hungry is economy and infrastructure of to the block standards. the suspension must be approved by a majority of u. member states. within 3 months, our corresponded to re sholtes in brussels, told me more about the decision made by the european commission against hungry or bon is regularly accused of anti democratic behavior. and in this case, in particular of corruption in the way that his government uses you funds. and he personally, he's accused of channeling the money to friends and family. in fact, the use anti fraud office investigated the use of hungary, you funds from 2015 to 2019 and found that 4 percent of that money did have irregularities attached. so the commission has been trying to get a handle on this when it comes to hungary for some years. and it did create a mechanism to do so. but hungary and poland predicting that it would be used against them, challenged this mechanism in court. and it was only earlier this year that the legality of the mechanism was confirmed. so that's what they european commission is
6:08 pm
now proposing to use to withhold the 7500000000 from hungary. how has budapest been reacting to this? or as i mentioned, hungry was, was pretty certain that this was going to happen and be approved by the commission . so just in recent days, it's proposed new raft of laws and anti corruptive mechanisms that it would put in place. it says by november and the hungarian government says it's confident that this would address the commission's concerns. now budget commissioner johan is hon . who made the announcement to day on the commission decision says that he'll need to see these laws actually implemented and put in place. and making a difference before he believes that's true. you member countries of course have yet to cast their vote. so what happens at this point? that's right before a majority of e. u countries approved this, it, it will not go through. so hungary would like to think that when it approves these new laws in the next 2 months,
6:09 pm
that that will take care of things. you governments have 3 months to make this decision. so i think they'll be waiting to see what actually happens in budapest. and in the meantime, they've also withhold 6 with help 6000000000 euros from hungry. and this is, it's coven recovery plan that, that hungary has requested. so people are watching very carefully to also see what happens with this 6000000000 euros that's been withheld. and to see whether the new ways that hungary hopes to address the kind of corruption concerns will also release this other trans you funds to sholtes in brussels. as always, many thanks to great britain. now were world leaders including us president joe biden have begun to arrive in london ahead of queen elizabeth's funeral. on monday, thousands of mourners have been queuing in central london for a 4th straight day, hoping to see the coffin of the late monarch. thousands continue to patiently wait and a kilometers long queue for a chance to glimpse the coffin of queen elizabeth the 2nd. as she lies in state at
