also coming up after dozens of classified u. s. documents service online. the pentagon is now is damage controlled, searching for the source of the leaks. and we take a look at the migration crisis inside africa. why the fate of thousands of zimbabwe yet, if suddenly in the hands of a south african john ah, i'm break off to our viewers watching on p b s in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin this tuesday with the french president emanuel macro and trying to stay on message. the french president was heckled to day in the hague while delivering a key speech outlining his vision for the european union. now, micron is facing fear at home, criticism abroad made worse by controversial comments that he made over the reject

. so would manuel malcolm digging his heels or back pedal. students in the hague, eagerly awaited the french president's key address, madams and monsieur. over the weekend, malcolm had given an interview that had drawn attention due to his remarks about taiwan. and the threat of conflict between the us and china. the worst thing would be to think that we are a pens must be followers and must adapt ourselves to an american rhythm and a chinese over reaction. this raised the question whether his views were in line with the eaves position is later speech seemed more cautious in spite of its grand flourishes. his wife, europe, and sovereignties no just to concept or fantasy, but is absolutely in a dangerous world. the necessity, tenchi over easter, beijing's military exercises and waters off taiwan demonstrated just how dangerous the global situation is. but other europeans draw different conclusions to mccomb

tots of it does the fact that he signs with china and against america at the very moment when military exercises are taking place on time, one's borders does not align with european interests, and alexia polish prime minister. more of janski's stress that the relationship to the us is critical to poland, security over than you, the ability. and while us senator said, what many conservative americans think as we need to ask her that is big for them because we're pretty heavily involved in ukraine, right. now we're spending a lot of our taxpayer money on a european one. the manuel mccomb has given year of fresh impetus, but not every one is pleased with the direction he's taking. or earlier i spoke your corresponded jack barrick in brussels, and i asked him if there was anything in micron speech today that might reassure those unsettled by his recent remarks on tai was not really to be on his brain. he wasn't there trying to make a speech, you know, to cover those comments. as you say about taiwan. he,

he made those comments to the press on a flight in china, where he said that your shouldn't be america's followers. on the issue of taiwan, taiwan. or is it the island nation that china wants to wants to retake into its feel like direct sphere of influence and they've not ruled out doing that by force . the americans are against that, but microns so sort of said we shouldn't be necessarily just taking the leadership of the united states on this. and they've been u. s. senators who said, listen, we shouldn't, but perhaps we should not consider support in europe and ukraine. so much on that you know, the, the warren at european soil not he didn't really mention that during his speech in the netherlands today, but he did talk about european sovereignty, the need to lead for itself. and that was sort of an interesting thing that happened that he didn't directly address those taiwan comments and the questions that came afterwards that then at the nexus institute in the netherlands,

nobody asked him about it either. when a lot of us were hoping that someone would in so what was his main message then today? so what the messaging that came out was was similar to what micron has stood for politically for pretty much his whole career. which is the idea that further european integration, firstly on things like capital markets, which means money flowing around different companies and in the market are also on industrial integration. so what micron thinks is that in order to do the green transition, and i will add that this isn't only macro, this is broadly most of the rest of the european union thinking and planning is a ryan list, is that for things like the treat green transition europe should try and win itself of the dependency of other countries. he talked about the e, u not being a customer any longer. so, and not buying solar panels, not buying the materials that are needed to produce batteries for the green transition, etc. and this is something that he's been really, really key on throughout his entire presidency. and indeed his full political

career. he laid it out quite clearly during this speech on this visit to the netherlands today for. and that message may have been overshadowed somewhat by the interruptions that took place to day. i understand or we, we saw it happened live, the speech was interrupted by protesters at one point. what was their message? yeah, they're fresh salons of the, of the, in the auditorium that there were a few protests as holding flags as saying that he was the president of hypocrisy. the micron kind of batted off. he said listen, i want to answer your questions. i want to be able to have a talk about the things, the issues that those people wanted to raise. but there was so much noise and there was quite a lot of shouting that in the end. it like the security, remove some of those demonstrators, but it is a reflection on how much pressure he is under himself, both domestically for his plan to try and raise the pension agent fronds, which we see motive to protest, bubbling over and rotting across france. specifically in harrison in recent weeks,

but also that is that sort of domestic issues sort of weakening him on the international stage when he's talking about these european issues. when he's struggling for support on his domestic issues. w jack baird, with the latest and i from brussels. jack is always thank you. in the united states, the binding ministration is really from the fall out of the most significant leak of government secrets since the wiki league back in 2010. as the search for the source of the leak continues, washington is busy with damage control. the revelation suggests the u. s. spied on key allies, including israel in south korea. on tuesday, sol dismissed a significant number of the files, calling them fake. the pentagon says it has ordered an internal review describing the leak as a very serious national security risk. about a decade ago, it was revealed that the u. s. national security agency had spied on the cell phone

a former german chance or angular miracle. we asked social democrat, holger becker, who sits on the german parliament digital affairs committee if what we're seeing now, if this is not familiar territory for germany, and if it's not also a cause for concern to be honest, i would not be too much surprised because you honestly have to be pretty naive to expect that there is not some kind of mutual. busy intelligent gathering call in that way. so in that regard, i don't think that it will damage any existing relationships. it's more of an embarrassment actually for the various us agencies. we still don't do not know exactly where the leak is coming from. i mean, that's obviously a source of concern for the u. s. it shows a lot of the classical components of a disinformation campaign. so you have

a couple of genuine documents. you have a couple of documents which are obviously tempered with. and you have a couple of other documents, we don't know, are they genuine? are they fake? and so you actually generate a lot of mistrust bullets list of focus on the documents that reportedly concern arms deliveries to ukraine. i mean, we know that the picture that's being painted right now is a ukrainian military that is not on the brink of collapsing. but almost at that point, is that going to put pressure on germany to deliver more heavy weapons to ukraine. there has been controversial, there has been criticism of germany dragging its feet when it comes to delivering tanks. for example. i think the documents so far have, at least for the people who are and say closer, informed about the military situation will not contain significant surprises. i

mean, everybody has known that the ammunition situation is pretty dire, and i don't think it will add increasing pressure on either germany or the other allies or what i think it does, however, is generate a discussion about logistics. and of course, a question how to, how can we actually safeguard deliveries because that's actually one of the more concerning issues on these documents. if they are genuine. of course, it puts the deliveries of weapons and ammunition in danger. mr. baker, i want to ask you what we've got you here. you know, there were comments made over the weekend in the interview by the fridge president regarding the situation with taiwan. basically a president macro was saying that europe should be sovereign enough that he doesn't

have to follow the u. s. if there is a conflict with chinese, should be sovereign enough to decide who its allies will be. is he speaking for germany when he says that not at all, actually i had the pleasure to spend today with the taiwan representative here in germany, professor she and we obviously discussed macross statements. and it becomes pretty clear that this is not a statement which has been cleared with the european partners. i think it's pretty clear that all the what we now call like minded nations, we'll have to stand together. and we will urge china to really stick to the current status quo. that's the message we have to send. and i don't think that the statements of micron were meant to, to somehow distance ourselves from,

from the us and also to distance ourselves from the situation. we haven't taiwan right now. well perhaps the, the, the comments made by president micron are filling a vacuum that has been created with the departure of angle america from the european scene. we know that former, the former german chancellor, she was very strong in her transit lantus, his attitudes. and we know now that it seems that the voice of germany is not as strong with chancellor off shoals. that is allowing president macaroni to you to put his vision out there. am i giving an accurate description of the situation? i wouldn't say that i think these were the same allegations which i actually made during under natural storm as well. and i think what we definitely have to do is we have to put more emphasis on developing joint european positions in

a changing geopolitical geopolitical situation. i think that's for sure, and i am actually urging a politicians, especially on the european level to come up with a more integrative process to formulate these european positions in it in a world which obviously is changing rapidly. and the phrase tightened. linda cannot be overemphasized because it really has shaken or a fundamental belize in geopolitical polity policies, which means, and that's actually what's happening right now, is of course we're trying to develop national strategies in our relationship to russia to china. but that can only happen and will only be successful if that is done in a european context. yeah, well they're still what the talk about. we hope we can come back and talk with this again mr. holger becker,

a member of the german parliament for the social democrats. mister becker, we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thank you very much. my pleasure. the international monetary fund has warned that the global economy faces a hard landing and a significant risk of recession. if soaring, inflation does not ease soon in its latest world economic outlook, the i m f says that the war in ukraine and instability in the banking sector are other key risks. the board economy is now expected to grow only 2.8 percent this year. that is down from 3.4 percent back in 2022 us treasury secretary janet jaelyn. she says that she is cautiously optimistic, saying the global economy is doing better than expectations just a few months ago. during the g 20 in february, i sent that the global economy recently bitter, placed in many predicted last fall. that basic picture has remained largely unchanged. prices of commodities like food and energy of stabilized,

supply chain pressures continue to ease and global growth projections remain higher than they were in the fall. of janet yellow speaking there are let's take a look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. turkeys president, richard, tell you. bear to one has kicked off his reelection campaign with a rally in anchorage. know a month ahead of elections. a raging cost of living crisis and that slow reaction to the february earthquake disasters. it all means that the president and his 8 k party are now facing their biggest challenge since coming to power in 20 in $2002.00. it will not be charity group catholic relief services says that 2 of his staff have been killed in the am horror region of northern ethiopia. they were shot in their vehicle while returning from an assignment. the incident comes a bit massive anti government protests in the i'm her region over the dissolution

of a regional security force. airstrikes by me and mars ruling military junta left hundreds of people dead on tuesday, including many children of these pictures show the aftermath of the deadly attack which took place at a village ceremony being organized by groups opposed to the countries military rules. italy's far right government has declared a 6 month state of emergency following a sharp ride to the number of migrants crossing the mediterranean. in recent weeks, the move comes after thousands of people crossed the sea between europe and africa over the weekend. major rescue operations have been launched to assist 2 boats that together are carrying at sea now 1200 people. the age group see watch says that a 3rd boat near malta, also carrying 400 people, also needs urgent assistance. i spoke earlier with john pierre gout,

g founder and director of the people for change foundation. that's a multi based human rights organization and i asked him for his take on that 6 months state of emergency that prime minister maloney's right wing government has just announced in italy. i think we're overreacting very quickly and trying to find a pretext in the law to allow us to, to allow italy and to allow european countries to violate their international obligations. including the obligation of non refundable and including the obligation to individually assess every asylum application by individual seeking protection in europe. we know that member states and the international community as a whole has obligations both to rescue people in distress, etc. such as the people that we're talking about. but also after the trip rescue has happened to facilitate this embarkation in a place of safety and to allow access to assign a procedure. the idea of saying there's an emergency in order to allow repatriation

clearly flies in the face of international obligations and is clearly a pretext for violating those some of those international obligations. and i think it's safe if i could read it as a level of lay there. i apologize for that. the prime minister of italy, though it's going to say that there is no cohesive plan for among all e u. member states for dealing with these migrants in bed. it's left up to italy to deal with these hundreds, if not thousands of people arriving every day. and i think that's a fair assessment of the situation in europe, where we see that because of the dublin system because of the lack of a european approach to migration because of the lack of effective filter dirty between you, you remember states some states that the borders of europe, i left to bear the responsibility of everyone who is arriving. however,

the the response to that cannot be that we violate our international obligations. it also can be that we put the blame and therefore the repair cushions on people seeking protection in your report are vulnerable in this particular situation. and there is a need for europe to do more. there is a need for more effective solidarity in europe, and we have seen this happen in other situations. we've seen this happen in the context of ukraine where we're seeing significantly higher numbers of ukranian, national, being in the eel having been displaced in the last year. and a half, then we are seeing from, from other countries. so we can, we know that europe can do this if it's one to do. and it has the responsibility of europe to share that responsibility for people who are at the end of the day seeking and tennis and protection in what you're past said is a place that respects fundamental human rights. but mister got to, you know, as well as i do that that's not going to happen in the near future. what would you

like to see happen in italy right now, realistically? i think given the numbers, italy should continue to facilitate the search and rescue of people in distress at sea. taking advantage of the various assets, etc, both owned by the state, but also of private vessels who equal have responsibility to rescue those at sea to allow disembarkation in a place of safety will be that in italy or in other places of safety, coordinating with other states who might be willing to share some of that responsibility and allowing people access to an asylum procedure was continuing to advocate for greater response and greater solidarity between the member states, both in, within, the kind of narrow you, but also the way that you are being context john p a guarantee founder and director of the people for change foundations to go to we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. no problem. thank you very much for having me. imagine

having settled in a new country only to find out years later that you're being kicked out. that is the case for about 200000 zimbabwe in south africa. now they were granted residency back in 2009 human rights groups have taken the government to court, but the clock is ticking the residence permit expire. at the end of this coming june, w christine manuel met a teacher inter hannah's berg, whose family is nervously awaiting the outcome of this legal challenge. far from his, herman's and bob, we've been met, henry is contemplating the future. his life in south africa might soon be coming to him and he's been earning a living in johannesburg, teaching and waiting to it to be a day for me. got to wait to go to school in the morning. and then later,

go to western boys at the school or any mash of to the went around. and nixon is immune is land when my endings are site to children and the wife and other issues with little porch what i seem to mats and what i can live and work legally in south africa because he has as and bobby an exemption permit. these permits were offered to zimbabwe and who had been living in south africa and documented, and those who were seeking asylum autism, bobby's violent election in 2008. now after 12 years, the south african government is canceling. the permit and permit holders have been told to apply for work visas, but these will only be given to applicants with critical skills. like the majority of permit holders,

montgomery's work is not considered to be critical over the border and been a while. his wife and 2 daughters worry about him having to return to the bubbly middle class. i just need to know how in meeting decide if i'm in in can we can assist in the things on the 4th tool before the why children sees in the need days coming back to him. is that a li, a life changing thing? it means that i'll have to drop out of college. i'm going to start a colleague in i'm about to finish. so if he comes back to 0, that means i have to drop out of college living standards ins above we have been in decline since the early 2, thousands to day, about half of the population is reported to be living in poverty. some bobbins have migrated to neighboring countries in big numbers. many have come to south africa.

and this is growing actually. immigrants that were said that has that time escalated, divide into tax on our national government in taking the end of the glory. maintain that the home is always a temporary arrangement. wait for citizenship, all permanent resident rights groups have off the court to stop the government from canceling the permits. there was no public consultation with the stakeholders prior to the decision be made to terminate the permits. if you have enabled people to farm families, found lives here and careers that she gives them that fair opportunity to make representations so that you understand the circumstances of the lives and what they

face when you make the decision to terminate. and that is absent in terms of the decision that has been made by the south african government has been met. and would it hopes the court will rule in favor of the appeal? he doesn't want to go back to some bubbling, sales judge or something to stop him. go pick the static game. it's better than finding out other some ways. if the court rejects the appeal, been months and order and others and bobby an exemption permit holders have until the end of june. to leave south africa. sorry, let's take a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world at thick sand storms of cloaked china's capital beijing for the 4th time in a month. measurements from the cities air quality index showed to serious levels of pollution. as dust drifts in from the nearby go be desert, china's meteorological agency has warned the storms are likely to affect it doesn't
