bailey's story. info, migrant, reliable news for migrant. wherever they may be. nor do davinci, mysterious masterpiece is perhaps the greatest leonardo masterpiece of the collection of the louvre and no, it is not the mona lisa version of the rocks. was there another symbolic meeting to this beautiful baby that perhaps we just don't understand to search for answers started february 10th on w. your watching d. w. news asia coming up with the prime minister of pakistan extends in olive branch to india. but just how is sincere is his overture. we'll take a closer look at his offer and the main sticking point that is kashmir,

plus the president of vietnam resigns less than 2 years into his tenure. why is he exiting and what's next for the country? ah, i melissa chan, thanks for joining us. focused on prime minister shibel sharif is saying to india. let's sit down and have a long, long talk about our many differences. on a trip this week to the united arab emirates, the u. a. e. he brought up the issue of kashmir and he's asking the u 8 e to act as host and mediator. this would be a major development, but there is a caveat. sharif says, talks can only start once, india has restored the semi autonomous status in the part of kashmir. india controls that had been revoked, back in 2019. joining us in the studio is d, w. channel shan shamela,

that big cardiac concerning the status of that part of kashmir seems to be a non starter for delhi, which makes me wonder just how serious and important is this offer from sharif. i think it is an important also for the bugs on the government and the military establishment. not so much for the people to focus on because boxed on has been facing such a cute, political, and economic crisis for the past few months that people are there. i am here in karachi, there is a gas shortage let christie shortage. i'm going to bryce high. going to listen to people are not really bothered about focused on dyes and india, or even gosh, we're because it got logan would sell very well in box on the politics. people are not bothered about that much. but having said it is important to focus on the government to reach out to you because it be boxed on how good guys with india done

. possibly the economic crisis could be averted. that's the only way out of the box on the economy because then the defense budget could be reduced and all of that could be beneficial for the people are focused on one less thing to worry about. in other words. so, you know, is there a strategy for why he is making this overture right? this moment? i mean, in addition to the things you're talking about, i think there is also an international pressure in the u. s. which is park stones foremost ally geopolitical. i won't spot on in india to work together to get closer together. that's one reason. the other reason, as i mentioned, the economic crisis is really, really bad, focused on do not have enough reserves. and it depends on the i am a below the bank owns. so the review and the focused on possibly believes and i hope it's not just a lip service that having good dies with its neighbors,

especially with india would also help boost its economy more. got really what would come to boston? now i know you can't speak for delhi, i hardly as you speak from cracky, but if past behavior is a clue to future action, what might happen next? and what is taking india so long to respond? i mean, they're thinking about it. i think that new delhi would not really be bothered about what parameters to show you a said, because what, when bronze you said about, you know, we want to have a dialogue with india, we want to reopen their dialogue. india, the 2nd day you said, oh, the dog was all the gosh dispute. we were not engaging any sort of like back and forth like the pakistani rulers, all of us do, india is not really bothered. it economy is booming. it is doing very well economically. it has a lot of domestic issues. i know that. but on the,

on the issue of kashmir, conflict, india is not going to budge and that would be the main obstacle between the dialogue with canadian box. got it chance. thank you so much for joining us. that we're having melissa, the sticking point for these overtures from the pakistan prime minister, it will indeed be kashmir to go into a bit more detail in 2019 deli, decided to change the status of indian kashmir. putting it under the direct control of the federal government. since then, the government has made changes including issuing domiciled certificates that allow more people there to vote. which sounds like a good thing, but is complicated by the fact it would mostly benefit hindus in a majority. muslim area that would be a convenient outcome for india's current hindu nationalist government. assembly elections if held this spring will be the 1st in 8 years. the changes in residency

rules though do impact ordinary lives. as seen in the following report. asha is a hindu street cleaner. she's lived in srinagar all her life. she's hoping for a better future for her children. oh, in india we got the domiciled certificate so that my children could get a better education and job opportunities like the privileged people get over our children don't want to suite the street and, but i do this job, but my children don't want to have to do the same thing with her don't miss our certificate also allows usher to take part in elections for the 1st time and she already knows who will get her vote. marinara modi's, b, j. p. since revoke in kashmir, semi autonomous stages in 2019 modi's government has been trying to type in its grip on indian administered cache smith. this includes given groups that were

formerly barred from gaining citizenship domiciles certificates that allow them to vote. the west pakistan refugee group of hindus who settled in general in kashmir after petition is helping people with their applications of the border. the biggest and most important benefit that i got is that our children were called focused on local funding. but since we got the domiciled certificate, it will be qualified to be recognized as citizens of jam, when gushing lovely with just thought of us heart of the whole credit for this goes to the beeping critic, say the b j. p is trying to change the voter demographic, an indian at minister kashmir to their advantage to be j. p argues it is simply ending the injustice suffered by marginalized groups who have lived in the region for decades. julie, those people who are deprived of primary citizenship for the last 70 years. we're living a 2nd class citizens jewel, 2nd glasses and again, not the they have been made false law citizens and are now treated as equals with scholastic abra noggin. or this is hugely beneficial. what are the law,

how much of an effect the law change will have on the b, j. p. 's vote tally will become clear in the german kashmir assembly elections that are expected to be held this spring. ah, the president of vietnam, new n swan folk has stepped down following pressure from top political leaders of the communist party members have blamed folk for corruption in his lower ranks. this is happening at a time when a single party state has embarked on an anti corruption. dr. fuque had held the position for less than 2 years. he was regarded as a pro business leader who welcomed trade liberalization. signing deals with the e, u, japan and australia at a time when global manufacturing has been shifting away from china to southeast asia. for more we have bill hayton associates fellow at the asia

pacific program at chatham house and author of the new book, a brief history of vietnam. thanks for joining the program bill. i'm 1st things 1st . the president of vietnam is not the most powerful executive role in the country. that claim goes to the general secretary of the communist party. so explain to viewers why this news is nevertheless important. because it shows us the direction that reads politics is going in. and i think what's going on behind the scenes is basically a take over all the governments of the, of the one party states by security, by the hard liners. the presidents have been a good game, but a good reputation is being a sort of a technocrat. somebody has got things done, but it become a bit of a saw of the government before he became president. and he's been fired along with 2 deputy prime ministers. one of whom was responsible for controlling the coverage

epidemic in vietnam and the other was well known as the as the face of foreign affairs. most of them also became sort of stars. and i think there's a sort of feeling within the communist property that these people became too well known that have been too keen to, to make their own policy. and that they had forgotten communist policy discipline. and that's really what the communist party doesn't like. so this is the communist party court. it's sort of deepest, darkest bits of the party taking back control. so let's discuss these corruption charges. i mean, this reminds me and of course i caught your own comments on twitter of the chinese communist party anti corruption campaign that was really about taking out political opponents. that it sounds like what you're suggesting is happening here. yeah, i mean i don't have any doubts. these corruption charges, you know, are probably genuine. i mean, we know this the, the cov, it conduction scandals,

cost people in vietnam and abroad, you know, tens, possibly hundreds of millions of dollars in terms of extra cost to, to go home on the we population price and in terms of not very good testing kids and these ministers were ultimately responsible for the problem is that there are plenty of other corruption scandals that don't get investigated. and it's clear that the ones that do get investigated generally do get done. so because of political reasons. and so mr. charles, who is the lead of the communist party, the most important man in the country as a master of playing these games. and he is really use these corruption scandals to bring down his political enemies. so i think what we're seeing and then you could call the she, if a cation of it. and so the, the kind of methods she's been paying is used in china now being used by the vietnamese communist party in vietnam. now for those outside vietnam,

i imagined that the big question they will have is whether this will impact the business climate there. can you talk about that? well, i think the communist party wants to keep growth going because it needs to keep jobs going. it needs to keep the population satisfied so it won't do anything that directly in a stops economic growth. but the same time, it's also trying to impose greater control. so, so inevitably there's going to be slow down. there's going to be restrictions. and also there's this sort of climate of fear really, that, you know, lot of officials are worried about taking decisions in case they get caught up in a corruption scandal later on. all the or some of their actions are used against them. a lot of the forward businesses are slightly isolated because they, they operate in special economic zones where the rules are much, much more liberal. and the state and enterprises will use the communist party connections to get things done. but the domestic private sector,

the small businesses, they're more likely i think, to experience a slow down. and that might have a general impact on the whole countries economic growth. and i think this kind of atmosphere of control, you know, we're seeing in many different areas of like we're seeing some of the civil society organizations being closed. we're seeing more moves against bloggers and journalists. so i think we're seeing a greater tightening of control. so hayton, thank you so much for joining us. pleasure. and that's it for today. thanks for watching. see you tomorrow. ah. people in trucks injured one trying to flee the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away. order families lead on that is the reason for

the credit on it is we like demonstrate people seeing extreme drought ross getting 200 people, his son from the agency around the world. more than 300000000 people are seeking refuge. yes, the wine because no one should have to flee. make up your own mind. d. w. made for mines with ah, yad vashem, situated on the mount of remembrance in jerusalem, is the world's foremost remembrance center for the holocaust. it's chairman donny,

diane once vowed never to set foot in germany, but his sense reversed that decision. he'll accompany an exhibition of artifacts from the holocaust on display in the bonus tag in berlin. stanley, diane, thank you for your time to thank you for having me. you vowed that you would never visit germany the, the country responsible for the murderer, $6000000.00 jews. but you are in fact, going to berlin with a special exhibition from the museum here. yet for him. ah, what change your mind? well, i made the decision of a very young age and not the visit germany. but the problem for it's nothing to do with the hey or something like that. on the contrary, it's everything about memory. you know, there is an interesting, deuced edition, not many just do it these days, but it still exists. the odd joke that keep it small part of the wall in the apartment in their home not painted. why in order to remember the

destruction of jerusalem.
