a 100000 people without documentation entering the block from the western balcony. in the 1st 9 months of 2020 to serbian visa rules make it relatively easy to go from there into the e. u. t w's. irosia ferry went to the over novato camp near belgrade. new arrival said the oberon, although scamp, they have come from around the world. here they get the medical check. awful shower, some things to eat, and somewhere to sleep. hardly any plan to stay nor together we can take 200 people in our emergency shelters, on average. they stay here for around 2 weeks. new people come but people leave to and we have enough capacity to accommodate them. other than bill are 2 of the few long term residents in the camp. they both spend years of their oldenburg, tired of trying to cross dangerous borders. they have both applied for asylum and

he'll give me his bag love. saw off that i decide that i want to rest here because here i am, i am little bit bissell bill has also settled here. he flagged the war in syria 4 years ago and can go back. he's hoping to stay and work here. sunni for me again, syria, i was a carpenter and my father was to you. he taught me the trait. when i left my country, i planned to go to germany, but then i decided to stay here. they gave me these machines a work space and everything on. i wanted to make some sculptures and stay here to work. oh, sure. so what i mean, the last time a space for cricket, yet everyone is focusing on a different game. that's what they called a very serious business of trying to crowd the board. there's into the e u. this is where it starts. this part near belgrade main bus station is where people prepare to travel to towns near the borders with croatia,

hungary and romania eel, conscious. there though bay smugglers thousands of dollars to get the crowd the frontier. nikolai camacho, vicious, a bow grade lawyer and refugee activists. what kind of problem did you have with will guardian police bargain? men and meeting our pupil with one bar? police police? yes. with a stick. it stakes dave's name. so your sleep, so your search, your strip to where they see a future, what is your plan? our plans to go to the country do peaceful ganci. lance is the stair say they want to live serbia, not because of violence, but because they see a better chance of finding work in the eel. serbia cannot stop them moving through says colacho, which sylvia cannot do anything so nobody can do anything by themselves need. that's the point. the point is that western balkan region, or balkan region,

or european union of european legion should design a response, which is human rights to record your law friendly. that was the people who would continue coming. they are flat from war poverty and persecution. the world over belgrade, it's my station, it's another step, the balkan root, it's open and for many, their best all this winter i asked carol canals, a european migration analyst and director of the european stability initiative. thinktank. if the balcony root is really the refugees, best entry into europe right now. well, it's very important to understand 2 things. that expression balkan route was a fantastic public relations success of victor urban and they'll form austrian chancellor, a sebastian courts in 2016 because what we're really dealing with here is

a region to western vulcans which is surrounded by the european union. it is true that a few people, tunisians, indians, varone, the citizens, can come to serbia visa, free, and serbia said that it will change this and align. it's visa rules with the you. but all the syrians iraqis, afghanis most of whom you've also shown in your, in your report. they don't come visa, free to the west, m bolcom stay 1st, have to enter the european union, greece of bulgaria. and then from those countries, they leave the european union to re enter it somewhere in the north. and the basic fact is that this year, the number of people who crossed from turkey and that means from the whole middle east into the european union irregularly, is extremely low. so the high numbers crossing the western vulcans are largely people who have been in the e u. for years in greece. we've been treated very badly who don't see

a future there. and we're trying to get from one part of the you to another part of the you. there is no strong increase of irregular migration of afghans assyrians into the european union this year, last year. this root is essentially a 2nd chance for refugees who have already fled into europe to make a better life for themselves in europe. and the plight of ukrainian refugees is obviously captured, the world's attention, perhaps, to the detriment of other refugee crises. ukraine. aside, where would you say is the most challenging refugee crisis the world currently faces? well, you, you highlight a really important point. the reason countries like germany, austria, or indeed many in the european union feeling under pressure this year is because they have accepted the highest number of refugees in any year since the 1940s. but 10 of 11 of those refugees have been ukrainians who arrived. you who arrived

regularly, they can cross the borders without smugglers, they can simply come across that the most important other route this year. and here we are talking about much, much lower numbers than the ukrainians. but still significant has been from central a northern africa to italy. this year already around $80000.00 people have crossed the mediterranean. it said deadly ruled the deadliest in the world. it is a rule where the european union has relied on cooperation with libya, where people are mistreated. this is a shameful cooperation, but it is also a rule to a lot of people drown. and now of course, the new italian government is going to try to repeat the policies of a previous italian government that has tried to stop this by closing the ports to the rescue ships. this is not a policy that will work, and in fact, the most important human italian crisis at europe's borders today,

where most people die is there in the central mediterranean. and we're gonna have to leave it there that gerard canal, se european migration analysts and director of the european stability initiative. thinktank many, many thanks for your insights. i thank you to russia's invasion of ukraine. now, foreign ministers from the g 7 group have pledged to keep supporting ukraine through the coming winter. at talks in germany, german foreign minister and alina bear, bog also criticized ron's cracked down on protest and called for action on the climate crisis. but russia's invasion of ukraine remained top of the agenda. it's helen in talking. we're cancelling every day of this brutal war of aggression. and you know, that russia is waging against the ukraine. if i, every single day is one day to many sock, every single day means a brutal attack on innocent people in ukraine in there. and it means suffering dead

. eyes on destruction would on such 2 more of today's top stories. now, at least 13 people have died in a night club, in the russian city, of course drama. ne of moscow, around $250.00, were evacuated as the flames caused the ceiling to collapse. russian media shade that the blaze may have started after a flare gun was fired on the dance floor. thousands have gathered in south korea to commemorate the victims of a crowd church during halloween celebrations in the capital. so the crush happened in a popular night life area and left 156 people debt law enforcement officials have admitted that safety measures were insufficient to handle the crown. well twitter is sacking around half its workforce as ellen musk entered his 1st week as the company's new owner. employee saved launched a class action lawsuit over the firings. musk says he's looking to cut costs

following his $44000000000.00 takeover of the social media platform. twitter san francisco headquarters shut down on friday as the lawn musket mass firings got underway. soon former staff were posting messages on the platform about how abruptly they were sacked, saying they'd been locked out of their work accounts with little information. some are already suing over the lack of advance notice when people who would find out would be not any phone call or any now from their employer or their boss. but just by seeing there for their work laptop, automatically re boots and just to go blank. that's the way people would find out. but musk has defended the cuts. saying twitter is losing millions of dollars a day. oh is yours room in town?

and hong before? yeah. okay. sorry. and a root major. okay. awesome. so since we're taking our operations at all, but while must focus is on saving money, critics fair that such drastic cuts to twitters staff will leave the platform used by hundreds of millions, struggling to deal with hate speech and misinformation. early we spoke to gordon kalak. he's an associate professor of strategic management at mcmaster university in canada. explain the strategy behind that. cuts of twitter is workforce. it's quite possible that would be a lot of mosque is trying to do is kind of play to his strengths. so he hasn't never really bought a company like this before. he has started new companies, tesla space, x, the rolling whole list of companies who has been able to bring in his own culture.

and you kind of see this now with twitter words bring in friends and top executive positions and he's laying off people and bringing even employees like software developer, some tesla. so we could be seeing a cultural change to a twitter, and that could be what he's planning to south america. now in an indigenous group, in peru say they had released nearly a 100 river boat passengers, whom they detained in protest against pollution. the community is calling on the government to do more to combat oil spills in their region. the indigenous group says they will continue blocking the passage of boats until their demands are met. an unexpected detour for these tourists in peru local seized their boat to protest . a recent oil spill effect where this man says he was struck with an arrow during the take over another passenger post. did this plea
